Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 869

After waiting for the news in Linqing Prefecture, Wang Tong will continue his journey northward and inform Lu Ruomei.

According to the news delivered by the maid, Lu Ruomei cried silently there all afternoon, and fell asleep again at night. Wang Tong saw her again when the brigade set off the next day. The girl had a smile on her face, and her complexion improved a lot. .

Leaving Linqingzhou, crossing Dezhou, and then taking Hejianfu all the way north, this journey is very familiar to Wang Tong and others, and it feels like going home.

When they reached the border of Cangzhou, there was another news from Nanzhili, saying that Hai Rui, the censor of Youqian capital in Nanjing, had complained of illness and asked to return to his hometown. History, and then allowed him to become an official.

The smile on Lu Ruomei's face is the same as Hai Rui's resignation. The wishes that have haunted them for many years are over, and there is no need to persist in many things.

**************
Zhili Inspector Li Zhi was originally the most dazzling new star in the political arena. The disciple of Zhang Siwei, the chief assistant of the cabinet, stood at the forefront in the struggle between Zhang Siwei and Zhang Juzheng's remaining party. When he won the victory, he was also appointed as the Zhili inspector.

The rank of the inspector is not high, but it is a good position for jumping into the ranks. According to the rules of the officialdom, the next step is to go to the local governor to be a governor, and then come back to be a minister and then step by step into the cabinet center.

But Zhang Siwei suddenly returned to his hometown and Ding You guarded the system, and Shen Shixing became the chief assistant. Naturally, Li Zhi had no future at all. Go to the Northwest to be a soldier, or go to Guangdong and Fujian to be a magistrate.

Bingbeidao and the prefect are local officials who are really lacking, and they have a lot of money, but this position is an insult to a Jinshi, especially Li Zhi, a Jinshi.

Li Zhi is also reflecting on why he has come to this point. In addition to lamenting the fate, the reason he can find is Wang Tong. If it is not Wang Tong, Zhang Siwei will be the first assistant. Tong, after Zhang Siwei and Ding You, the successor to the chief assistant should also be someone close to Zhang Siwei, not Wang Tong.

Moreover, Zhang Siwei and Ding You have been worrying for a year and a half, and they will be reinstated in another year and a half. Except for the two cabinet members, the other big bosses in the court are all Zhang Siwei's disciples. Zhang Siwei will definitely return to the cabinet, but there is also a problem. If Wang Tong was there, Wang Tong would definitely not let Zhang Siwei, who suppressed him, return to the center.

Shen Shixing was alone, but if he joined forces with Wang Tong, Zhang Siwei would be completely suppressed, and if Zhang Siwei was suppressed, Li Zhi's future would naturally be gloomy.

In the current court situation, Yang Wei and Wang Lin each have their own teams, and there are not enough positions in the court. He would be expected there. Li Zhi wanted to join him, but he was coldly rejected. His only chance, It was Zhang Siwei.

When Wang Tong's meritorious deeds were outstanding and the fire was cooking oil, the emperor had that decree, and then let Wang Tong go out of Beijing. Li Zhi realized that this was his great opportunity. After closing the door for a day, he made various arrangements.

But the means of fanning the flames are limited after all, and there are other patterns in the Nanjing area. After all, it is still a big day, and the nobles there will not make too much noise. The real decisive thing is to count on Zhang Siwei.

As Zhang Siwei's disciple and most confidant, Li Zhi vaguely knew that Zhang Siwei had dead men in his hands, and he often did some shady things, so he also wrote a risky letter to try his luck.

When he knew that Wang Tong had arrived in Linqing Prefecture after returning from Jiangnan, Li Zhi's expectations were completely shattered. Li Zhi didn't know whether his teacher in Puzhou, Shanxi sent someone there, but Wang Tong came back safely. Enough to illustrate the point.

Li Zhi felt very depressed. Originally, he was also the young leader of the gossip officials in the Qing Dynasty, but now he was gradually excluded, and the scholars were also very snobbish.

There was repulsion there, but Li Zhi didn't dare to leave that group. If he didn't follow the trend in the current situation, it would really be doomed.

When Wang Tong returned, there were rumors in the capital that the Xu family in Songjiang was destroyed by Wang Tong. This statement is so unbelievable that people can't believe it. The local officials in Nanjing and Jiangnan all said that it was a pirate attack. There are also all kinds of bad deeds of the Xu family. How could it be possible for a nobleman of the Ming Dynasty and a member of the Jinyiwei to do such cruel and shocking things.

But accusations against Wang Tong are the homework of the capital's speech officials, and it is also an act of expressing their position. Li Zhi also wrote a memorial questioning Wang Tong's actions in the south of the Yangtze River, which can be regarded as an expression of his heart.

Although his official career was gloomy, the Zhili inspector was still an official with real power, and the relevant aspects of the Zhili local area still had to be taken care of. Li Zhi had been working for more than a year and had already accumulated quite a fortune.

In the past, when I was in the capital, I had to go to the brothel to recite poems and write essays to show off my talent, but I might not be able to win the beauty back. Now, it doesn't have to be so troublesome, someone will send it to me.

If you really don't want to ignore those nasty things in the political arena, you can still be very happy. On the second day of October, there was already a fire in the house, and people had to wear fur coats and cotton robes. Li Zhi returned to his home after wandering around in the yamen. The day before yesterday A rich man from Baoding Mansion sent money, begging him to take care of a land sale, and even better, he also sent a girl bought from Datong.

After tossing around for a few nights, Li Zhi felt that his back and back were unbearable, so he went to the Yamen for a walk, but after staying in the Yamen for a while, thinking about the women at home, he couldn't bear it, and came back in a hurry.

Most young officials travel on horseback, even civil servants. However, after Li Zhi took office, he got a sedan chair to do it. His colleagues and clerks were quite envious, and there were many imitators.

Sleeping in the sedan chair and resting his mind, he planned to reach his own door. The sedan chair seemed to have fallen to the ground. Li Zhi almost fell out of the sedan chair. As if being choked by something, there were more than a dozen Jin Yiwei with cold faces standing in front of the door.

Ever since he did those things, Li Zhi has often had nightmares, dreaming that he was taken away by Jin Yiwei and imprisoned for questioning, every time he woke up he was covered in cold sweat.

Unexpectedly, the nightmare suddenly came true. Looking at his official robe, the Jin Yiwei standing in front of the door could already tell that this is the rightful master he was looking for today. Someone stepped forward and said:
"Li Zhi, Gao Shuanghui of Baoding Prefecture sued you for extorting money and prostitution of other people's wives and daughters, can you admit it?"

When asked this question, no one would answer "yes", Li Zhi trembled all over, and immediately said:
"Spitting blood on people, spitting blood on people, this is a frame-up!"

Li Zhi naturally knew the name of Gao Shuanghui. He was the big man in Baoding Mansion who gave money to women. He was framed, but Li Zhi immediately realized it.

As soon as he said this, he heard a noise in the mansion, a woman ran out crying, knelt down in front of Jin Yiwei when she went out, and cried:

"Master, this Li Zhi is forcing my father, saying that if I don't let the servants send me to serve, my life will be in danger. Please, Master, let the little girl be the master!"

After speaking, he burst into tears. Li Zhi's family is in the capital, and he came here to be an official. He just lived in a house vacated by a rich family. This is the core area of ​​the city, and people come and go. It's very lively. Such a beautiful woman Weeping loudly in front of Mr. Xunyan's door, talking about Mr. Xunyan's death, there are really many people who stop and watch.

Seeing the woman who was still tactful and courteous under him this morning suddenly turned into this appearance, and listening to the faint whispers around him, Li Zhi felt his hands and feet getting cold.

"Li Zhi, what else do you have to say!"

The Jinyiwei Qianhu who came over said coldly, then turned his head and ordered:
"Take Li Zhi and send him to the Imperial Prison for questioning!!"

Hearing this, two Jinyi guards strode over and were about to lock him up. Li Zhi was standing there dumbfounded. As soon as the man came over, he struggled violently and shouted:
"This is all a frame-up. Wang Tong is a treacherous villain, disregarding decency, and framed Zhongliang. This official is just speaking outrightly to impeach and impeach him, but he uses public tools for private purposes and sends people to suppress him."

In the middle of shouting, there were a few crackles, but was interrupted by Jin Yiwei Qianhu's slap in the face, the corner of the fan's mouth was bleeding, and Jin Yiwei Qianhu said in a deep voice:
"These slaps are a lesson, wait until you are in prison and then deal with them. My family has something to ask you, why do you think you can do whatever you want?"

After saying this, the thousand households raised their voices and said:

"Li Zhi, in one year and two months of your tenure, you bent the law for personal gain, accepted 11 taels of bribes, and had some treasures. The sufferers from all over the world have already sued the capital, go to the capital for trial!!"

Speaking so loudly, the eyes of the crowd around the audience were naturally wrong. They were all pointing fingers at Li Zhi and accepting bribes. , but his reputation is greatly damaged, and he will be directly rejected by this group.

Not to mention prostitution of other people's wives and daughters, if this crime is heard by others, it will be reviled by thousands of people, and it will not be able to raise its head in the village. Li Zhi only feels oppressed in his chest, his hands and feet are cold, and he knows that from this moment on, his reputation will be ruined. Because the amount of 11 taels was indeed the approximate number he was greedy for. He wanted to cry, but was punched in the lower abdomen by a Jin Yiwei.

Seeing Li Zhi being thrown into the carriage, Qianhu didn't turn his head and said to the crying woman behind him:
"You still have to go to the court once, and when you wait for the confession to be charged, you can go home with the money and rehabilitate!"

The woman kept crying, but kowtowed to thank her.
