Chapter 217 Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Jinling City(1/2)

Six doors.

Tan Shifei's enthusiasm surprised Fan Xiaodao. He had just arrived in Jinling City and his butt was not hot yet. He gave him a beautiful woman and a silver note, which made him feel alert.

This is not a welcome place, it is clearly a place where Fan Xiaodao is placed on the fire and roasted.

It's more like a test of Fan Xiaodao.

Fan Xiaodao is a man from the Jianghu and is in charge of the Jianghu Department. Naturally, he understands these Jianghu rules. They are trying every means to pull themselves on the boat and make themselves collude with them. Now Fan Xiaodao rejects him, and he is afraid that he will not be happy next.

I will definitely try my best to embarrass him to make a fool of himself.

He is not a person who causes trouble, but he is not a person who is afraid of trouble.

The strong winds and waves in the capital have come, and I am still afraid of the people in the martial arts world? However, what he didn't expect was that this is Jinling, which is indeed different from the capital. After all, the capital is under the feet of the emperor. Even if the two sides have a fight, they still have to do their best in terms of face.

And if you want to cause trouble, you have to follow the rules, but it is different in Jinling.

Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing came to Jiangnan and took over the six gates. One is to rectify the Jiangnan style and convey the new policy concept of Jiangnan. The other is to investigate the case of privately casting copper coins. Before the beginning, they fell into the trap of the other party's sugar-coated cannonballs.

.

If it were someone else, I'd probably have fallen long ago.

Before coming to Jiangnan, the prince once hinted that the Jiangnan officialdom had too deep collusion and a very bad atmosphere. It was not easy to ask him to build his mind well and find out the case.

With his front feet on the ground, Tan Shifei came in.

He spoke with apologized, "Mr. Fan, I'm really sorry for today's reception banquet. I didn't communicate with you and made my own decisions and parted ways. It was because I was abrupt."

Seeing that he was like this, Fan Xiaodao couldn't say anything, but said, "It's better to arrange as few such banquets as possible in the future. You're here just right, so I'll ask you something."

I just arrived in Jinling and according to the official rules, I had to report to my immediate superior, Xie Yu, the prefect of Jinling, and I had to do my homework in advance. "What kind of person is Lord Xie?"

Tan Shifei said, "Mr. Xie is honest, a good official, and a clean official. He has a good reputation among the people, but..."

"Just what?"

Tan Shifei whispered, "He is a little timid in his work, has no idea about everything, he is a good man."

Fan Xiaodao was a little strange. This prefect Xie was said to have been promoted from the magistrate of Songjiang. A three-year-old Jinshi of Taihe, he stayed in the position of magistrate for more than ten years and was promoted to the magistrate of Jinling a year ago.

This incident made everyone shocked!

You should know that Jinling is one of the three most prosperous places in Jiangnan. It is the position of Jinling prefect, even more popular than some border governors. It is the fat that countless people salivate. How could it fall into nothing but background?

On the head?

Just being a good person, you must never sit in this position!

At this time, Xiao Dingdang came in and said, "There is someone outside the door who claims to be the prefect, and he wants to come in to see you."

Fan Xiaodao asked him to come in. Soon, an aide dressed in a scholar in his forties came to the yard. When he saw Tan Shifei, he bowed repeatedly, "Captain Tan is here too!"

Tan Shifei introduced to Fan Xiaodao, "This is the second master in Jinling Mansion, Song Bufan and Master Song." He asked again, "Have you returned from a patrol?"

Song Bufan was stunned and said, "Are you back?" He immediately reacted, "I just came back. I heard that Deputy General Fan from the capital has come. Don't ask Lord Fan to talk to the yamen!"

Fan Xiaodao bowed, "I'm going to visit the master. Master later, I'll change my clothes and then arrive."

Tan Shifei said: "I happened to have something to ask Lord Xie for something and go with you."

Fan Xiaodao changed into a red head-in-charge suit and went to the prefect's office with Tan Shifei. They all worked in the same yamen. The prefect was in the main hall, and six doors were in the southeast corner of the yamen, with two walls separated by them.

When the case was not tried, Xie Yu usually worked in the study room, but instead he didn't go to his office very much. He usually had a staff member and a few clerks.

Tan Shifei brought Fan Xiaodao to the entrance of the study room, but he didn't knock on the door and pushed it straight into the door.

Xie Yu was reading the official documents. When he saw the two of them coming in, he quickly got up, greeted him, and said with a smile: "Captain Tan is here too!" He looked at Fan Xiaodao and said: "I heard that two six doors have been sent by the capital.

Chief Constable, I guess this one is Captain Fan. He is young and indeed a heroic boy!”

Fan Xiaodao stepped forward to salute, Xie Yu stopped him and said, "There is no outsider, so there is no need to be polite. Sit down quickly."

There is a tea set in the study, made of oak roots, and patina already has patina. It looks a bit old. He sat in the master's seat and personally fiddled with tea for the two of them, saying, "I don't have any hobbies, I like it."

Good tea, come and try it in Mingqian Longjing, which I just came here this year!”

Tan Shifei said, "We have a good time!"

He saw fruit on the tea table, and he didn't even say hello, so he picked up one and started eating it.

Fan Xiaodao was a little shocked. After all, he was a subordinate. How could Tan Shifei be so casual? Tan Shifei picked up an apple and handed it to Fan Xiaodao, "You can do it too?"

Fan Xiaodao shook his head.

Two cups of tea were placed in front of them.

Tan Shifei put down the fruit, picked up the teacup, sniffed it, and said, "Sir Xie, your tea is good, but the water is not good."

Xie Yu smiled and said, "Captain Tan is really good at it. This tea was shot from the well in the front yard."

Tan Shifei said, "On the other day, I will send you a cart of holy spring water to the adults."

The Holy Spring is in Fengyang Prefecture, known as the first spring in the south of the Yangtze River. The water quality is clear and it is the best source of water for making tea. It is only nearly 500 miles away from Jinling City. It is necessary to transport a truckload of water, regardless of manpower or material resources.

Phoebe's numbers.

Xie Yu said, "That's thank you to Captain Tan."

The three of them chatted for a while, and Fan Xiaodao felt that this person spoke kindly and seemed to have no temper, which was almost the same as what Tan Shifei said.

A few cups of tea fell into his stomach, and Tan Shifei took out a document from his arms and said, "This is the appointment letter of Kong Shunyi, the head of the Jiangning County Captain, so he signed it."

"Jiangning County's house arrest?" Xie Yu hesitated, "Didn't Jiangning County just changed the head of the house arrest last autumn? I remember that it seemed like I was called Guo Shouliang. The cases I sent here in the past few months have been handled well.

Not long ago, the case of a wealthy family killing his wife in Jiangning County seemed to be solved by him."

Tan Shifei said: "Sir, this case is probably hidden. Guo Shouliang's hands are not clean and I have found it. I should investigate it strictly. For the sake of my colleague's case, I asked him to resign and arrest him.

The head Kong Shunyi was promoted to the right, and Jiangning County was returned to a Qingping."

Xie Yu asked, "Does the magistrate of Jiangning know about this?"

Tan Shifei shook his head, "He is not aware of this."

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate?"

"We dare not provoke this arrangement, Lord Xie, the transfer officer, said hello to you."

When Xie Yu heard the transferee, he nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Xie said hello, so of course hello, but I have never seen his sack?"

Tan Shifei said, "How about I want one for you?"

The prefect Xie's face changed slightly, and he waved his hand, "You don't have to go to Mr. Xie for such a small matter, I'll sign it." After that, he picked up his pen and signed his name on the letter of appointment.

Fan Xiaodao was stunned. Tan Shifei was too arrogant in front of Xie Yu, and even made his own decisions on personnel arrangements, but he didn't know who the fortune-teller he mentioned was.

It seems that the prefect Xie is very afraid of this person.

A person's name scares Xie Yu so much. As for Tan Shifei, he mostly came to Xie Yu in the name of a transshipment envoy. It turns out that there are dragons and tigers hidden in Jinling City.

No wonder Tan Shifei said that he was timid. He was putting the prefect of Jinling!

Tan Shifei received the letter of appointment, "Thank you sir!"

One is Jinling, two Lords Xie.

One is Lord Xie, the prefect of Jinling, and the other is Lord Xie, the transferee of Jiangnan.

I don't know which Lord Xie he thanked.

Tan Shifei said: "You guys talk first, I have something to do, so I'll say goodbye first."

Xie Yu also stood up and sent him out. After Tan Shi flew away, Xie Yu's face became very embarrassed and he snorted coldly.

Fan Xiaodao said, "Your Majesty seems to have an objection to Captain Tan?"

Xie Yu said, "Those who rely on their power and rely on the relationship of Jiangnan Transportation Envoy to be domineering in Jinling City. If they are transferred to Jinling City by themselves, they have never done anything smooth!"

"Who is that Lord Xie?"

Xie Yu said, "Xie Zhihua, the Jiangnan Transport Author, used to be a censor. He came to Jinling a few years ago and became a domineering Jinling. Even the governor had to give him some face." He whispered, "I heard that he was Princess Taiping's man."

.”

Fan Xiaodao was secretly shocked. This Princess Taiping is really everywhere. No wonder the prefect of Jinling is a good man, and he dares not speak out. He is just a small official promoted from a place, so how can he take root here?

A Jiangnan Transportation Engineer who has been operating here for several years?

Xie Yu said again, "Fortunately, you and Captain Zhao are here!"

Fan Xiaodao said, "Sir, really polite us."

Xie Yu said, "In the past few months, he has tried his best to seek the position of chief inspector, and has been to the capital to seek relationships and money. He thought that the position of chief inspector was a treasure, but he did not expect that the court

I will send you two here.”

After saying that, he took out a key, opened the drawer, took out a letter, and handed it over. Fan Xiaodao took it and saw it, and was shocked. It turned out to be the handwritten letter of the prince Zhu Yan.

Then he realized that no wonder Xie Yu was able to become the prefect of Jinling. It turned out that there was a backer behind him, that was the crown prince Zhu Yan. Zhu Yan had been in Jinling for four years, so how could he not support his confidants?

However, this is extremely secret. After Xie Yu took office, he had no connection with the prince on the surface and had no opinion on government affairs. He seemed to be underestimated by Tan Shifei and others, but in fact he was enduring and waiting for an opportunity.

Tan Shifei was seeking the position of chief of the Six Gates of Jiangnan but failed. It was mostly because Xie Yu was causing trouble later. The prince served as chief of the Six Gates of Jiangnan. How could Princess Taiping's people control the Six Gates of Jiangnan?
