Chen Sheng smiled, put down the teacup in his hand and said, "This is your business to solve the problem. We have no right to interfere. Everyone came here to deal with the eunuchs, but this is a civil servants' matter. What can we do?"
Chen Sheng did not dare to neglect Xu Xianchun at all, as this guy was also an old fox.
See? See? We were just having tea and chatting, and now we're digging a hole for ourselves.
Is this kind of thing something you can handle by yourself?
The person who came was the prefect of Yangzhou. Why should a eunuch like me butt in on the matter?
I didn't learn anything else from following my godfather in the palace, but I did learn not to butt in. Don't get involved in things that aren't your business, don't even ask, don't even listen, or you'll die without even knowing how.
Xu Xianchun still wants to dig a hole for himself, he is totally out of his mind!
Xu Xianchun felt helpless in his heart. It seemed that this eunuch Chen was not easy to get along with.
However, Xu Xianchun felt that he could not interfere in this matter. If he came into conflict with the Yangzhou prefect, the matter would be difficult to handle.
Xu Xianchun said, "Come here, go and invite Master Chen Sihai."
Anyway, I have someone behind me, so I just need to find him.
After hearing this, the subordinate quickly agreed: "Yes, sir."
After saying that, his men quickly turned around and ran out to look for someone without any delay.
Xu Xianchun stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked outside.
Since Chen Tang had already arrived, Xu Xianchun still had to receive him. As for what to say, it was naturally a confusing mess.
When he arrived at the front hall, his men had already brought Chen Tang in.
After seeing Chen Tang, Xu Xianchun bowed and said, "Master Chen, your presence is truly a great honor to our humble office. When I first arrived in Yangzhou, I should have gone to visit Master Chen, but I've been so busy that I just can't spare the time."
Chen Tang glanced at Xu Xianchun, and with a gentle smile on his face, he said, "Master Xu, you are too polite. You are the emperor's envoy, and you have come to Yangzhou on business, and you are also carrying out the will of heaven. It is my humble servant who is here to pay his respects. I wonder if you have a royal banner or an imperial edict? May I pay my respects?"
Xu Xianchun glanced at Chen Tang and knew that this guy was difficult to deal with. He asked him for the royal flag and the imperial edict as soon as he came.
If I could get it out, it would be on the emperor's order, and this guy would definitely turn around and leave.
But I have nothing.
Xu Xianchun said helplessly, "I am only here on your majesty's orders to inspect Yangzhou. I am not an imperial envoy, and I have neither an imperial edict nor a royal banner."
"I see." Chen Tang stroked his beard and nodded. "Then this Yangzhou City case should still be under my jurisdiction. I wonder why Lord Xu wants to intervene? Since when did the Jinyiwei also take on cases?"
"And this is related to the Jinyiwei. Someone has sued Mao Qiangguang, and it's a false accusation. Since when did you have to file a complaint with the Jinyiwei, and sue someone from the Jinyiwei? The interrogation was also conducted by the Jinyiwei. I wonder what the Jinyiwei will do?"
"Master Xu, please hand Han Guotai over to me. I will thoroughly investigate the matter and make sure the truth is clear. If Han Guotai has falsely accused someone from the Imperial Guard, then that's easy to do. I will enforce the law impartially and punish him severely. I will definitely give an explanation to everyone in the Imperial Guard."
After hearing this, Xu Xianchun remained calm, knowing that this was a veteran in the officialdom.
What do you mean by strict and severe punishment? That's after the facts are confirmed.
If this hadn't happened, then there wouldn't be any punishment.
If I hand Han Guotai over to him, he will definitely change his statement after he gets out and will definitely not admit it. Then it will be like I am the one who framed Han Guotai. How can I do this?
As expected, it is necessary to strike the snake at its most vulnerable part. This Chen Tang is not easy to deal with. He goes straight to the point and first reveals that he is not qualified to handle the case or to interrogate the case, so this case should be handled by him.
Under such circumstances, the Jinyiwei had lost all initiative. It was not right to hand the man over, and it was not right not to hand him over either.
I believe that as soon as Han Guotai leaves the Jinyiwei yamen, rumors will spread all over Yangzhou City. By then, it will not be Han Guotai who framed Mao Qiangguang, but the Jinyiwei officials who protected each other and framed Han Guotai.
They even found reasons for the Jinyiwei to frame Han Guotai.
