A dream of prosperity, a half-sheet of fame and fame, right and wrong sea waves. The horse's hoof smashes the frost on the forbidden street, and listens to the chicken singing a few times. Dusty clothes, Jianghu heart. Out of the royal phoenix net, Mu Yi Qi Shouyang sighed at Han Peng Weiyang. Zao Na paper wind magic.
(Yuan Wang Yuanheng, the son of Chaotian, thought the inscription)
…
…
The clouds in the sky are like wet cotton wadding, ready to squeeze out water at all times, and like a large piece of lead ingot, which is so heavy that no space can bear it, and it is afraid that it will fall to the world in the next moment. There were already traces of rain leaking from the lead cloud, and they fell to the ground bit by bit, but it was unknown when it would turn into a torrential rain.
Song Shiren, who was the number one lawyer in Kyoto and nicknamed Fuzui, now has gray hair on his temples, his brows and eyes are no longer as unrestrained as they were back then, and he is much calmer. He looks at the sky calmly, not knowing what is going on in his heart. Thinking about something.
After a long while, he looked back and sat on the chair, feeling a little tired. Someone beside him had already brought hot tea, he took a sip and rinsed his mouth, then took a hot towel and pressed his eye sockets, and he felt better.
Some people beat his back and pinched his legs behind him, and some people started to fan him, but the autumn of the ninth year of Qingli was already a bit cold, and the autumn rain was approaching, so the whole city of the capital was bleak. Can you stand the wind? Song Shiren couldn't help shivering. The man in black official uniform beside him glared at the subordinate holding the fan.
The official of the Overwatch Council was Mu Tie, who was in charge of the first division. He looked at Song Shiren cautiously and said, "Master Song, are you sure?"
Although Song Shiren had heard this title for a year and a half, he was still not used to it. He frowned and replied calmly, "Don't worry, my lord."
This litigator made his official appearance for the first time in the fourth year of Qingli when he filed a lawsuit for Guo Shangshu's family, suing Fan Xian, the son of the minister at the time, for black boxing in the middle of the night. That lawsuit was also a rare complete defeat for Song Shiren. And he really caused a sensation in the court and the public in the Qing Dynasty because of the property dispute lawsuit against the Ming family in the south of the Yangtze River in the sixth year of Qingli.
During that lawsuit, Song Shiren spent half a year in Suzhou Mansion with the strong support of Supervisor Fan Xian, fully displaying what he had learned in his life. The natural succession rights of the eldest son, which has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of the world, have been wiped out.
This lawsuit of the Ming family's property dispute was actually in the south of the Yangtze River, and the arrow pointed at the Imperial Palace in Kyoto. It has to be said that the Emperor's Majesty sacrificed to heaven and abolished the crown prince, and the crown prince was forced to rebel in the end, which has some unclear relationship with this lawsuit.
In the south of the Yangtze River, Song Shiren had a great reputation, but when he returned to the capital, the crown prince was still alive, and the queen mother was furious. The old lady just confessed softly, and the world's number one lawyer was crushed into an ant by the palace, and his family property was confiscated. With all the eyes of the world, he set up a stall in Hechifang to survive, and he almost couldn't survive.
Fortunately, when Fan Xian returned to Beijing, he secretly sent him out of the capital and gave him a large sum of money as a reward. When things were decided in the capital at the beginning of the eighth year of the Qing calendar, Fan Xian took Song Shiren's family back, bought him a house in Xicheng, and gave him an official status at the same time.
Although the number one lawyer in the world can make a lot of money, his status is always lower than that of an official. Song Shiren is grateful, and at the same time knows that he must sell his life for Mr. Fan. In addition, after experiencing the baptism in the past few years, Song Shiren has long lost the arrogant appearance of the past, but appears calm and plain, but still has a strong ability to behave.
His current status is an official of the Eighth Office of the Overwatch Council, who is responsible for litigating lawsuits for the Overwatch Council.
The Overwatch Council also needs to file a lawsuit? If this matter were to be told from the beginning, it would be an extremely long story. The core points are actually nothing more than two points: First, a few years ago, His Majesty took back all the jurisdiction of the Overwatch Council and divided it into two. It was given to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, so the Overwatch Council is now playing more of a public prosecutor role.
And in the past two years, the little prince in the Overwatch Council, who was stimulated by some kind of stimulus, began to purge officials after requesting His Majesty's order. The Overwatch Council arrested many corrupt officials in various counties and ministries. If the prisoner is arrested, he will naturally be interrogated, and if he is handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple for interrogation, the Overwatch Council will not be reconciled, and secondly, Mr. Fan will not agree. Everyone knows the word "official protection". Since we want to catch officials and govern, of course we will not give these civil servants a chance to get together.
So Song Shiren, the newly promoted official of the Overwatch Council who specializes in litigation, has played a great role. Whenever he is involved, the crimes nailed by the Overwatch Council will basically fall on the ground, no matter how much it is concealed within the court civil service system , nor let those criminals escape.
But what really made the Overwatch Council members feel cold were several orders from His Majesty after the Kyoto incident was finalized. Although these decrees are only a continuation of the original policy of the Seven Gentlemen when they entered the palace, so that the Metropolitan Procuratorate began to enter the internal procedures of the court for supervision, but this time the Zuodu censor He Zongwei, with the help of the holy family and a very clear According to the decree, he began to truly use his power. On the one hand, he weakened the authority of the Overwatch Council, and on the other hand, he began to attack some violations of laws and regulations within the Overwatch Council.
The sky is big and the earth is big, not as big as His Majesty's will. In the past two years, the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has gradually grown, like a rope around the neck of the Overwatch Council, making it difficult for the officials of the Overwatch Council to breathe .
He Zongwei was like a hunting dog, guarding outside the Overwatch Council. As long as any official of the Overwatch Council violated the prohibition, he would draw up regulations without mercy, send them directly to Dali Temple, and demand that the court punish him for his crimes. .
The Overwatch Council didn't have any good ideas, because it had been a rule since the establishment of the Overwatch Council that they couldn't attack the Metropolitan Procuratorate after the Qing Law Court's regulations. ——It's just that this rule has been forgotten intentionally or unintentionally because of the strong existence of the two characters Chen Pingping and Fan Xian. Now that His Majesty has remembered this matter again, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has become popular.
Fortunately, Mr. Fan is still the commissioner of the Overwatch Council, so the actions of the Overwatch Council are relatively gentle. He Zongwei is very careful not to touch Fan Xian's bottom line. insult.
It's just that the Overwatch Council acted in secret and would always touch the Qing Law frequently. The Metropolitan Procuratorate relied on its will to urge the Dali Temple to review it. Even Fan Xian didn't have a good way to deal with it, because it was His Majesty's will after all, and He knew that it was not a good thing for the imperial court that the Overwatch Council was the only one.
Being clear does not mean accepting. On a certain day in the eighth year of Qingli, Fan Xian kicked open the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, pointed at the 20 or so censors below He Zongwei and cursed angrily, and then invited Song Shiren back.
Isn't it just a lawsuit? Is the Overwatch Council still afraid that people will fail
…
…
Today Song Shiren is going to file two consecutive lawsuits in Dali Temple. One is that the Overwatch Council found out that a member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang, had colluded with the governor of Heyun, and embezzled Hegong's money. Moreover, the money was not paid by the company, but by Fan Xian. It was saved from the small treasury of the Jiangnan Neiku through untold hardships, and then transported to the Yamen of the Governor of Heyun through the Charity Hangzhou Club hosted by Mrs. Fan.
The greed for money came to the ancestors of the Overwatch Council, and the Overwatch Council was naturally unceremonious, ignoring the relationship of this Yuanwailang in the court, and even ignoring the pleading letter privately handed over by the Governor of Heyun. In one dark night, Directly arrested more than 20 related criminals, locked them in the seven prisons of the Overwatch Council for several days, and then sent them to Dali Temple.
The second lawsuit was a bit of a headache. The Metropolitan Procuratorate found out that a certain official of the Overwatch Council stationed in Nanzhao secretly allocated a sum of money transported by Honglu Temple. In the words of this fourth official, funds were insufficient at that time, and public funds had to be used in order to develop eyeliner in Nanzhao.
It's just that no one knows how much he used, and whether he has retained it. The Overwatch Council internally understood that this colleague must have benefited from being a spy in a foreign country. Even though Fan Tisi raised the monthly salary of the Overwatch Council three times in a row, he was still a little nervous. No one was a saint.
"Is the case all ready?" Song Shiren glanced at the assistant beside him. The assistant's surname was Chen Bochang, and he was the famous actor who played against Song Shiren in Jiangnan. Unexpectedly, he was dragged back to the capital by Fan Xian half-invited and half-tied. , the eight new law enforcement divisions are all famous litigators from all over the world. Every time he thinks of this, Song Shiren, who is already calm, can't help but smile bitterly. Mr. Fan is still so arrogant when doing things. The court checks and balances the Supervisory Court, but you want to blatantly confront the other party, and you do it so happily.
Chen Bochang responded and stood up.
As an official of the Supervisory Yuan, Mu Tie was listening in Dali Temple today. Firstly, he wanted to see how the worker from the Ministry of Industry, Wailang, was treated. . All the Overwatch Council officials now appreciate the Eight Law Enforcement Offices, because they know that these former lawyers are the greatest protection of their own interests.
He patted Song Shiren on the shoulder and said sincerely, "My lord, come on."
Under the outer gate of Dali Temple, the rain gradually fell. Song Shiren took a sip of tea, his face was full of confidence, and he walked into the Yamen of Dali Temple with his hands behind his back. , The Metropolitan Procuratorate took it seriously.
Walking gracefully, the people of Kyoto who were watching the excitement across the street cheered in unison, hoping that the Overwatch Council would cut down all those corrupt officials.
It has to be said that the power of the Overwatch Council has been cut a lot in the past two years, but its reputation has improved a lot. Fan Xian finally managed to pull the Overwatch Council out of the darkness after a few years, and wiped out the Overwatch Council with successive thunderstorms. Actions have established a glorious image among the people.
The trend of public discussion today is basically in favor of the Overwatch Council, and is somewhat shameless towards the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Song Shiren walked towards the Dali Temple, his face was calm, but his heart was not calm. It was indeed a joy to work for Mr. Fan, not only the joy of winning, but also the support of many people, which is not easy.
For more than a year, Song Shiren represented the Overwatch Council in a lawsuit and has not lost a single case. This time... it must be the same. It's just that he had already offended the entire civil service system of the Qing Kingdom, and he knew that he would never be able to get off the boat of the Overwatch Council. Once he got off, he would end up being swallowed by huge waves.
But he was not afraid, because Master Xiao Fan was at the helm of the Overwatch Council ship, and as long as Master Fan was around, no one in this world would dare to harm him.
"There is something wrong with Nanzhao. The Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Punishment confiscated a lot of money from that official's house." Chen Bochang looked at the expression on "Master" and carefully reminded him.
"Return the stolen goods, resign, not guilty." Song Shiren did not turn his head, and said in a low voice: "The bottom line of Mr. Tisi is here. If the Metropolitan Procuratorate wants to go further, it will be beaten face-to-face and start with the punishment tribe. Those people Not many are clean."
Chen Bochang felt chills in his heart, and thought to himself that Mr. Fan is really a powerful character who protects his weaknesses just like Mr. Chen. From this point of view, if the Metropolitan Procuratorate does not accept Fan Santiao, Mr. Fan is going to mess around.
He couldn't help shivering. If Master Xiao Fan did this, it's no wonder that the Metropolitan Procuratorate's lawsuits with his own family were always unsuccessful. After all, no matter how much that Lord He Zongwei had a holy family, no matter how hard he worked, he still couldn't win. Master Xiao Fan is always ready to turn his face...
If Mr. Fan really turned his back on him, He Zongwei couldn't bear it. With his temperament, His Majesty's words might not work. Everyone knew how much His Majesty valued or favored him.
"Master Tisi, why didn't you come to see the excitement today?" Chen Bochang swallowed his saliva, and asked while walking.
During the year, Fan Xian's greatest interest seemed to be to be a backer for his subordinate Erlang, to attend the trials in Dali Temple, and to see the ashen faces of the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Logically speaking, an official of Mu Tie's level could just sit in on this kind of matter. Even Yan Bingyun didn't bother to come over, but he never failed to do so.
The young man sat with his legs crossed on the hall of the Dali Temple, and all the officials who were adjudicating the case became afraid. No one dared to punish the officials of the Overwatch Council, and this was what he wanted.
"Your Majesty sent him out." Song Shiren only vaguely knew some inside information, didn't say anything more, rubbed his wrists, glanced at the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment, his face sank, he snorted coldly, and started fight.
————————
Going west from Kyoto, bypassing the green Cangshan Mountains, crossing several Qinghe Rivers, and after a few days, you will enter the military reclamation site that stretches for hundreds of miles. This is Xiliang Road, one of the seven major roads of the Qing Dynasty. It is the poorest place in Qing Kingdom, but it is also the place with the most peculiar scenery.
Most of the land along this road was fought over and over again by the Central Plains regime and the Hu people for hundreds of years. Before heading to the hinterland of the mainland, he began to ask the Hu people for blood debts and land for thousands of years.
After fighting for many years and killing many people, this piece of land was finally firmly controlled by the Qing Kingdom. At the same time, many new cities were built on it, and many people were moved. However, it is a land of prosperity after all. However, commerce is not well developed, and there is no valuable production. The trend of fleeing the people here has only slightly improved in recent years.
Some are just flat and less-tended fields, with endless skylines, and mounds protruding from the edges of the lines, and the desert in the distance looks desolate.
The sunset here is later than anywhere else on the mainland. The blood-red twilight shrouded the vast land, reflecting a majestic city, which was formed by accumulation of earth and rocks, just like this. On the edge of the land, the mighty national power and military strength of the Qing Kingdom were showing off, awe-inspiring the people in Xiongcheng and the grasslands to the west.
This is Dingzhou City, an important town in the western frontier.
The official road leading from Kyoto to Dingzhou has been well maintained and can accommodate eight horses running side by side. I don't know how much manpower and financial resources were consumed back then, but this has ensured the eternal safety of the western part of Qing Kingdom and firmly controlled this large piece of land. , No matter how you calculate it, it is very cost-effective.
A convoy is galloping towards Dingzhou City on this official road, as if it wants to enter Dingzhou City before the sun sets, but Wangshan runs dead horses, especially on this plain, Dingzhou City seems to be in sight, but far away. In the sky, it seems that there is no way to catch up and enter the city before closing the city gate.
About twenty miles away from Dingzhou City, there is a post station. This post station is not a military post station, and it is not under the jurisdiction of the Dingzhou Army, but a postal station under the management of the Ministry of Industry, so it looks a bit dilapidated and outdated. The man was yawning under the setting sun. They had already had dinner and started to prepare for gambling later.
It was getting dark, these men suddenly showed strange smiles on their faces, leaned towards the backyard, listened to the voice from inside, covered their mouths and smiled, thinking that the guy inside was too impatient.
In a stone room in the backyard, the only official official of the post station, Yi Cheng, was holding a woman's two snow-white thighs, pressing his hands on her soft chest, screaming non-stop, his body was covered with sweat, and everyone in the room It's the taste of lewdness.
Dingzhou is remote, there is no entertainment, and the night comes too late, so whenever the sun goes down, he will hurry up and have this only entertainment. The woman under him is a prostitute brought from Dingzhou city, although he is willing The prostitutes who went out of the city were all ordinary-looking, but he liked this woman's charm and soft flesh very much.
Holding the slippery Yi Cheng in his hand, he was extremely happy, and felt that the woman under him seemed to be made of cotton candy, especially the eyes were sweeter and greasy than the well water in Dingzhou City. Two silver coins are really worth it.
When he was enjoying himself, the door of the room was pushed open suddenly, and the postman didn't look back, and cursed: "Listen if you want to listen, watch if you want to see, mother, don't even say be careful, you actually ran into the door , be careful to make Lao Tzu into an immediate wind..."
The prostitute under his pressure also giggled, not afraid of being seen at all.
Suddenly, Yicheng felt a little strange, because there was no sound for a long time, he looked back subconsciously, and saw a stranger, he jumped up, quickly jumped up from the kang, fastened his pants, and did not forget to pull Heihei The quilt covered the prostitute's white lower body on the kang.
Yi Cheng wanted to yell at him, but seeing that this stranger was dressed very luxuriously, he was afraid that he might be someone who could not be offended, or an official, his mouth became dry and he became afraid.
He said in a trembling voice, "Who are you?"
…
…
Fan Xian sat on the only grand master's chair in the station, looked at the crowd of people kneeling in front of him, frowned and said, "I tell you to get up, get up quickly."
His trip was to come to Dingzhou to labor in the army according to His Majesty's order, and he said it was a labor force, but the secret order he received in the imperial study contained something else. In the past two years, the barbarians in the west have taken some kind of stimulant or tranquilizer. They have changed their romantic tactics from spring to autumn and started to attack Dingzhou in a very organized manner. Law became extremely cunning.
Although the Ye family is still in charge of Dingzhou's military affairs, Ye Zhong is in charge of the Privy Council. He wants to be in charge of the world's army and horses. Fortunately, in the end, His Majesty personally mobilized frontier soldiers from all walks of life to support them in turn, and the situation was stabilized.
The emperor and Fan Xian have already seen some of the problems, but without first-hand information, no one knows what happened inside the Hu people. The situation cannot continue like this. He became Qing's confidant, which is why Fan Xian made this trip. He had to listen to the personal report from the generals in Dingzhou to understand the situation.
Moreover, Fan Xian knew that His Majesty's personal transfer of the Fifth Route Company to the West Route also meant that the barbarians' knives were used to sharpen Qing's sword. Opportunity to prepare for a unified war.
Today I couldn't make it to Dingzhou, so I had to rest overnight in this dilapidated post station. How could I know that no one came to greet me when I entered the door. Seven or eight men were listening to the corner like children. Fan Xian was curious and pushed the door directly. But when I entered, I didn't expect to watch a live erotic palace.
Yicheng and the seven or eight men knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again, while the officials who came with Fan Xian knew his temperament and should have seen it long ago, and they each prepared to rest for the night.
Fan Xian looked at the postman and scolded with a smile: "Damn it, we started it before the sun went down, so don't be afraid if you have the guts to do it."
Yi Cheng grimaced, thinking that he was going to be killed soon, and this master in front of him was the second most noble person in the sky, the chief minister of the Overwatch Council, a high-ranking person, a noble person whom he was not qualified to meet.
Fan Xian asked suspiciously, "What are you afraid of?"
"Your Excellency hates evil like hatred, and hates corrupt officials the most..." Yi Cheng was so frightened that he was about to cry, and he collapsed on the ground, expressing the people's impression of Fan Xian.
Fan Xian rubbed the back of his head in some confusion, thinking that he was already the father of two children, why in the hearts of the world, he became more and more like a saint or a devil who does not eat fireworks
