Chapter 100 It's over, he seems to be finished.
He is very aggressive and does not play by the rules. He is clearly teaching people a lesson.
But the fifth prince did not say anything to stop him, and the officials who came to the capital watched coldly.
You can see their position.
This matter is not a big deal. After all, it is just Zhu Zhifu trying to flatter himself. But it is not a small matter. Wei Zhao is a general and sacrificed his life for the country. How can he be used by people with ulterior motives?
I am afraid that when they return to the capital, they will report this matter.
Zhu Zhifu's position as a fourth-rank official has also reached the end.
Who dares to stand up for him?
Everyone is trembling with fear, fearing that they will be affected. How can there be other thoughts, trying to stand out and get the attention of the nobles?
Zhu Zhifu was still complacent. If this matter succeeds, he can also get the glory of Wei Zhao.
Anyway, he is dead, and no one will refute what he says. No one will hold on to this point in front of the coffin and try to find something wrong. After all, this is disrespectful to Wei Zhao.
Let alone Wei Zhao, the Shunguo Mansion is a family of scholars and officials. Just having a little connection with them would be beneficial to him.
Who doesn't want to be promoted to a higher position?
The prefect of Liu'an City sounds good, but a remote and desolate place is not as glorious as a fifth-rank official in Beijing.
But he never thought that someone would jump out.
It was Xiao Huaiyan who was at odds with Wei Zhao.
How could this be!
Because Xiao Huaiyan and Wei Zhao have a bad relationship, so he can't stand him!
Prefect Zhu collapsed to the ground with powerlessness.
He tried to quibble.
But he didn't say a word.
"Shut up."
Xiao Huaiyan sneered: "It's better to swallow the words that this prince doesn't like to hear."
He even kicked him out of anger.
Prefect Zhu was in so much pain that he could only hunch up in embarrassment.
Yang Weiwen was dumbfounded: ? ? ?
Although he felt that what Xiao Huaiyan said made sense, Prefect Zhu didn't seem like that kind of person.
Prefect Zhu has always been very approachable, and his temper is much better than those county officials of the same rank as him.
At this time, Xiao Huaiyan looked at Yang Weiwen.
"Thank you for the reminder."
Yang Weiwen subconsciously wanted to say you're welcome .
But...
facing the bruises on Prefect Zhu's face.
Yang Weiwen: ? ? ?
It's over, he seems to be finished.
He moved his lips and subconsciously said: "Beating the court official..."
Xiao Huaiyan got rid of his anger and felt relieved. Are you kidding, he would be afraid? Even his father would think he did something wrong. Will the emperor blame him? Xiao Huaiyan glanced over and had never seen such a disappointing person. "You look familiar." He squinted his eyes, thought for a moment and recognized: "Yang Weiwen?" Yang Weiwen hurriedly saluted: "It's your subordinate." Oh, that's not surprising. Xiao Huaiyan looked at the young official with a hard time. He was sent to a remote and poor place where no one lives, why didn't he learn his lesson? "You..." Xiao Huaiyan asked casually, "Since you didn't marry the princess, have you finally gotten married with your fiancée?" Yang Weiwen's eyes flashed dimly. "No...never." Xiao Huaiyan: "Ah?" You won't regret giving up climbing the ladder to heaven, right? Yang Weiwen pursed his lips and said nothing. Xiao Huaiyan kicked Zhu Zhifu a few more times. Zhu Zhifu cried out in pain: "Ah!" Xiao Huaiyan lowered his head: "Do you know?" "No...I don't know." Xiao Huaiyan kicked him a few more times. "Then tell me, what did Yang Weiwen do when he came to the area under your jurisdiction."
Prefect Zhu: ...
He looked down on Yang Weiwen, so why would he care about his affairs.
Yang Weiwen didn't try to curry favor with him, but often handed him various documents to seek welfare for the people and to punish corrupt officials.
Prefect Zhu threw them away without even looking at them, and even tried to get other county magistrates to exclude and suppress him.
He trembled and pressed his head to the ground: "No... I don't know."
Xiao Huaiyan stepped on his hand: "As a superior, you have no idea about the situation of your subordinates. What do you know! You only care about taking shortcuts?"
He did cruel things, but smiled at Ying Yin.
"I didn't know that being a prefect is so easy.
As he said that, he looked at the other trembling prefects.
"Judging from their faces, maybe these guys are not good people."
Xiao Huaiyan: "Maybe they are not checked."
"We won't rest until tomorrow to set off, why don't we..."
Suddenly, he paused.
"Forget it, I'd better go back to find the prince. Although he is weak, he is the most sympathetic to the people. "
Prefect Zhu was in so much pain and was sweating profusely from fear, but he dared not even make a sound at this moment.
The other officials were also so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats.
The room was dead silent.
Ying Yin did not want to care about these.
As a prince, he knew the ties between the various forces. The county magistrate relied on the prefect, and the prefect surrendered to the higher-ups, and there were higher-ups, with layers of roots and trunks intertwined and directly intertwined, intricate and complicated.
Ying Yin also understood that there were few officials in the world who were clean, and even he could not stay out of it.
But this matter had already been brought to his doorstep.
He was in Ze County, but the prince, who was far away in Beijing, had to intervene in the investigation.
If it got out, wouldn't it mean that he was incompetent.
He would not push the credit to the prince.
Ying Yin looked at Xiao Huaiyan: "Don't make trouble, empty words are not enough. You don't have any evidence in your hand. Today you say that these officials are not good and need to be investigated, and tomorrow you say that other officials need to be investigated as well. Do you want to let you take the position of censor?"
"That's fine. "
Xiao Huaiyan was very satisfied: "I have long disliked the old censor."
"He supervises all officials. Although I have no official position and he has no control over it. But when I went to the brothel to watch the girls take a bath, he would report my father for not educating his children well."
Ying Yin ignored him and looked at the prefects calmly.
"What do you think?"
"You can report Xiao Huaiyan to this prince for slander."
The officials were still calm. The county magistrates under them had not seen many storms, and they witnessed the end of Prefect Zhu with their own eyes. They looked at each other and were already panicked.
In fact, there is no need to investigate.
Just arrest some ordinary people...
not to mention those account books that have not been falsified in time.
"This..."
The brave prefect stood up: "I think it is more important to send General Wei on his way first. We have a clear conscience and will respectfully welcome and cooperate with the censor to come. "
Then they have enough time to do something.
How could Ying Yin not know the tricks?
In recent years, the prince's party and the fifth prince's party have fought fiercely, and he doesn't want to be caught by his good brother.
He calmly put the teacup in his hand aside: "The promotion and transfer of officials other than the third rank are assessed by the Ministry of Personnel's Examination Langzhong and Examination Yuanwailang."
With just these words, the Ministry of Personnel's assistant minister who came from the capital together lifted up his official uniform and knelt on the ground.
"The Ministry of Personnel is not doing a good job."
Ying Yin: "Don't tell me."
"When we return to the capital, you will give the Ministry of Personnel a set of rules and go to the emperor to plead guilty."
He looked coldly at the officials who were lying on the ground.
"Why don't you explain?"
"When the matter is reported to the Golden Palace, the people sent by the court will conduct a thorough investigation, and your crime will be even more serious."
