Chapter 1412: The shady scene of Xin Zijuan's warehous

  Chapter 1412 Xin Zijuan Tongcang Shady

  Feng Ziying was taken aback, "So serious?"

  Before, he and Fang Kezhuang kept in touch with each other by letter, basically every half a month, to inform each other of their situation, and Fang Kezhuang began to focus on investigating the situation outside the warehouse.

It should be said that Fang Kezhuang's ability is still remarkable. Not long after he took office, he took control of the situation in the entire state government. An ambassador from the Department of Taxation was reported to the Metropolitan Procuratorate by him. After the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate came down and checked the situation, he removed this unpopular official from his post.

In addition, there was a local gentry who spoke ill of him because of his rebelliousness, and he found out that the son of the other party had an affair with a married woman, which caused the other party's pregnancy and death, so he deprived his son of his reputation as a scholar and made it public , so that the family was immediately despised by scholars in the local area and became a bereaved dog.

  At the same time, Fang Kezhuang also specially commended a local rich family for their filial piety to their parents, and reported it to the Shuntian government office, requesting the Shuntian government government to commend it.

These actions can be described as a combination of grace and power, and immediately established Fang Kezhuang's prestige. In addition, Su Daqiang's night murder case Fang Kezhuang also benefited from Feng Ziying's glory, and he was awarded the title of "Comprehensive, Diligent and Careful" in the court circular. Fang Kezhuang was quite proud of the comment "with all his heart", and it also contributed to the improvement of his prestige in Tongzhou.

Because of this, Fang Kezhuang also quickly won the hearts of the people in the Tongzhou Yamen. There are many people in the Yamen who watch words and deeds, including your deputy, such as the prefect of the state, the judge, etc., will first evaluate your ability, and this ability is also It depends on your prestige and ability, whether there is room for improvement or profit by following you.

Obviously Fang Kezhuang quickly opened up the situation, and also won the support of officials, including the magistrates and judges. If there is meat to eat, he will be promoted, and those who follow me will prosper and those who oppose me will perish. Typical portrayal, no one who messes around here doesn't understand.

   It was in this situation that Feng Ziying supported Fang Kezhuang to start investigating some shady things about Tongcang conditionally.

  According to Feng Ziying's judgment, without three to five months of external clues and verification, it is impossible to touch the core of the shady scene.

  Even if you find out the situation, you still need to carefully consider when to choose when and how to do it.

   Unexpectedly, it has only been more than a month, and Fang Kezhuang will actually take action. This was not mentioned in the last letter, which made Feng Ziying very puzzled.

"There are some unexpected situations that we didn't expect, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate has notified Mr. Fuyin. It seems that you, the Fucheng, don't know about it?" Fang Kezhuang sneered, "Master Fuyin is really You have a big heart, such a big matter, just a piece of official document, and even you, the Fu Cheng, didn't tell me, I guess the torture room in the mansion probably didn't know about it."

Feng Ziying was a little embarrassed. It seemed that Fang Kezhuang had even been run on by himself, thinking that he had not fulfilled his responsibilities, but he did not hear any news about this, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not give him any information, or someone else Just gave it to Fu Yin directly, but this Lord Wu just happened to ignore him?

   I was also a little annoyed, but Feng Ziying remained calm, "Maybe Mr. Wu forgot, or maybe he thinks the problem is not serious, so let your state handle it."

"It's so simple and easy?" Fang Kezhuang snorted coldly, "Ziying, you are the governor of the government, and you have some responsibilities. I heard that you were traveling in Huairou, Miyun, and Shunyi counties in the north some time ago. You are also in charge of farming, water conservancy You are also asking questions, and you even coordinate with the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry to coordinate the transfer of the Zunhua Iron Works and the Ordnance Bureau workshop. You can completely leave it to Zhizhong and Tongdan. Why are you so sad? Have you forgotten about your duty?"

   This is already a bit rude.

It is reasonable to say that Fang Kezhuang is a subordinate, and such words are already offending the subordinates. However, Fang Kezhuang is not only a township party member, but also his senior. The two have formed a community of interests in the case of Tongcang Shady. A lot of progress has been made, so it is understandable that Feng Ziying was "not doing his job properly", so he was angry and rude.

Feng Ziying didn't think it was disobedient, but laughed instead, "It seems that you are very concerned about my work. It is true that you have traveled a lot to the north. Some things have been delayed here for too long, and there is a backlog. It's over, Mrs. Mei is too busy, and I'm duty-bound, I did a little more, it's nothing, it doesn't affect the business, what happened?"

"Hmph, I hope so, I'm afraid that you will regard yourself as a judge." After Fang Kezhuang vented for a while, his anger gradually dissipated, and then he said in a deep voice, "Second Ten days ago, the Metropolitan Procuratorate sent a notification to the government office, the main clue came from an old case of the Governor's Mansion of Water Transport investigated by the Metropolitan Procuratorate,..."

Feng Ziying frowned and listened. It was obvious that this case was not a small one. The Metropolitan Procuratorate came forward and involved the Governor's Office of Water Transport. The former Governor of Water Transport was the current cabinet old Li Sancai. Originally, he was intended to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials in Nanjing, but after a lot of games, he was finally appointed as the Governor of Water Transport.

  Zhu Guozhen once came to Qingtan Academy to give lectures together with Miu Changqi when Feng Ziying was still studying in Qingtan Academy.

   Now that Miu Chang has served in Nanjing for a period of time, he has become a representative of Jiangnan scholars, and together with Gu Tianjun, he has become the spokesperson of Jiangnan scholars in Nanjing Six Departments.

"Last year, a clerk in the Governor's Mansion of Water Transport hanged himself, and many people were involved. At first, he thought it was a matter on the Qingjiangpu side, but later the Metropolitan Procuratorate found that the situation was very complicated and involved a wide range of people. Nanjing and Tongzhou There are all entanglements, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice also intervened. After finding some clues, they handed them over to the Shuntian Mansion. Unexpectedly, the Mansion was thrown down all of a sudden. A few days ago, I arranged for people to investigate a lot, and then reported to them for verification. It’s been 10 days since I contacted the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Governor of Water Transport, and I still haven’t heard anything from you. I asked someone, and it’s said that there seems to be no movement on your government office,…”

   "The clerks of the Governor's Mansion of Water Transport were also involved in Tongcang?" Feng Ziying found it inconceivable.

  The Great Zhou Dynasty was slightly different from the former Ming Dynasty. The Governor’s Mansion of Water Transport was located in Qingjiangpu, Huai’an. It coordinated and managed the transportation of grain from the south of the Yangtze River and even Huguang and some other materials needed in Gyeonggi to Jingcang and Tongcang, commonly known as Jingtongcang.

   Along the way, for example, there are warehouses in Linqing, Xuzhou, Yangzhou and other places, which are all managed by the Governor's Office of Water Transport.

But to Jingcang and Tongcang, that is to say, when grain enters Jingcang and Tongcang, it is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Governor’s Office of Water Transport has no right to intervene. The maintenance and repair of warehouses are also in charge of the Ministry of Industry, but Jingcang There are Cao Bing stationed, responsible for guarding the warehouse, but these Cao Bing are not under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Water Transport, but under the jurisdiction of the General Officer of Water Transport.

It's a bit complicated to say, the three giants of the water transport, the governor of the water transport is the first, and the censor of the water transport is the second, and the power is equally great. Only the general officer of the water transport is weak. But in terms of guarding through the warehouse, it is the power and responsibility of the general officer of the water transport, and neither the governor of the water transport nor the censor who patrols the water can control it.

It is the responsibility of the Governor of Water Transport from the time when the grain in the south of the Yangtze River and even Huguang is loaded on the ship, until it enters the Jingtong warehouse. Therefore, even along the Yangtze River channel, from Huguang to the mouth of the canal, as long as the water ships and the water ships pass through the wharf, When it comes to water transportation affairs, the governor of water transportation also has the jurisdiction.

   This has also formed a de facto overlapping jurisdiction, so this is also a frequent lawsuit, going to the Ministry of Households, Ministry of Industry and even the cabinet level.

  Of course, the water transport itself is closely related to the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry. The governor of water transport is basically on the same level as the ministers, and most of them are appointed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Households, or the Ministry of Industry.

The jurisdiction of Tongcang has always been that after the water transportation arrives, the Ministry of Households is in charge of the Tongcang Ambassador. Under the Cang Ambassador, there are deputy envoys and other officials, all of whom are high-ranking officials. It would be a little strange to involve the officials on Tongcang's side.

"Well, it's very complicated here, and it involves a lot of things. It is said that both the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Punishment find it very difficult, so I just want to limit the matter to the water transportation, and I don't want to expand it..." Fang Kezhuang sighed Tone, "But who would have thought that the few people involved felt that the crime was serious and they could not escape death, so they wanted to survive. I don't know how they got in touch with the prison of the Nanjing Ministry of Criminal Justice. They included everything they knew, including some of his involvement Or he told everything he saw and heard, and this time he stabbed the hornet's nest. In addition to the Governor's Mansion of Water Transport, it also involved the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War, Ministry of Households, Ministry of Industry, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate in Nanjing. Huai'an Mansion,..."

  Feng Ziying took a deep breath, this really poked a hornet's nest.

If this is just one person, it can be deduced to say that it is a false accusation that San Muxia could not afford to be punished, but if a few people say it, it may form a chain of evidence or even a network of evidence, and no one dares to ignore or ignore it. No wonder he would report to Beijing.

   "Then what did the Central Capital Procuratorate say?" Feng Ziying asked after him.

   "The Metropolitan Procuratorate is also investigating, but it also lost part of it to Shuntian Mansion, so it will be thrown to me." Fang Kezhuang sighed.

"I know that, I mean what does the Metropolitan Procuratorate want to do?" Feng Ziying stared at Fang Kezhuang and said word by word: "I don't believe you didn't go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to inquire, what are their thoughts? Do you disagree with Master Wu?"

  Fang Kezhuang glanced at Feng Ziying, "This is the purpose of my coming to the government office. If you ask me, I should ask you this."

   Looking for a few more monthly tickets, Lao Rui worked hard!
