Chapter 63 Section 62

Under the Ministry of Civil Affairs, there is only the Industrial Inspection and Donation Bureau, but there is no Industrial Inspection Bureau.The Labor Patrol Bureau is in charge of miscellaneous taxes such as flower donations, tobacco shop tax, business tax, vehicle donations, etc., which are used as salaries for patrol camps. As for the Industrial Patrol Bureau, it has not had this name since three years ago. Originally from the Rebellion of the Xinyou Year, the order of the capital was extremely bad. Therefore, following Yuan Shikai's method in Tianjin, it recruited stragglers, changed it to patrol police, protected the market, and also carried out road repair projects. It was named "General Bureau of Industry and Inspection".In the 31st year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, the Industry and Patrol Bureau was upgraded to the Patrol Department, and the new official regulations were promulgated. Whether it is the main office or a branch office, it is called the Industrial Inspection Bureau.

The sub-office that governs the Di'anmen area is the middle office of the three sub-offices in the inner city, and the title of the supervisor is the governor.Yang Bofang, the governor of Zhongting, was born in a proper way, and he should be an official under the new official system, but what he yearns for is the prestige of the patrolling censor in the old official system.Before the Industrial Inspection Bureau, the ground of the capital was divided into five cities and ten squares, and the five officers were in charge of "settling their prison lawsuits, interrogating their rape, and suppressing their theft". She, with great power and integrity, is just enough to become the nemesis of the evil slaves of the rich and powerful.There is a well-known story in the Jiaqing period: Xie Zhending, a senior from Zeng Guofan’s hometown, was the censor of Dongcheng in the first year of Jiaqing. When he was on the tour, he met a very gorgeous blue wool car with the rear gear. dodge.Xie Zhen decided to stop the car around, and asked about the owner, he was the younger brother of He Shen's favorite concubine, and his identity was still only a member of the Xiangfu's family.Xie Zhending has known for a long time that this person is tyrannical and looks sideways, and has long wanted to punish him, now that he has thrown himself into a trap, how can he be lenient?After hitting the board on the street, he burned the rear frame of the car on Wangfujing Street for "riding in violation of the regulations".

At that time, although Emperor Gaozong had already become the supreme emperor, he was still in power, so Heshen's momentum remained the same. In his heart, Emperor Si praised Xie Zhending's fearlessness of the powerful, but he had to uphold the "edict" of the Supreme Emperor and ordered Xie Zhending to "report the truth". How could he "ride a car against the regulations"?The car was burned, so how can you "report the truth"!As a result, he was dismissed from his post, and he did not recover until "Heshen fell" in the fourth year of Jiaqing.

Yang Bofang had a crush on the former sages, and wanted to be a "City Patrolling Censor" with a strong character, but there were many internal affairs officials and eunuchs outside Di'an Gate, which was just a test of his character.However, he did not expect that the one who tested him was not an eunuch, let alone an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but Su Wang Shanqi, an official of the Ministry. "Sun Jingfu's case, your brother needs to help him!" Hearing a prince call him "old brother", Yang Bofang couldn't help being flattered, and he felt disgusted when he was asked to favor Sun Jingfu.In such a complicated state of mind, I don't know what to answer.

Shanqi was always humble, so he said: "You are doing me a favor!" "Don't dare, dare not!" Yang Bofang calmed down and said, "This case is really embarrassing, and there is a tendency that there is nothing we can do to help." Then he talked about the case.Sun Jingfu bought a house on Mawei Xie Street outside Di'anmen, the owner mortgaged it first and then sold it, but he had no choice but to cut off the property.The deed originally stated that if he was unable to redeem it at the maturity date, he could pay interest and extend the limit, but Sun Jingfu took advantage of the danger and had to force the landlord to redeem it.As a result, the price was found to be sold out. Of course, the search was not enough.

Sun Jingfu has already taken advantage, but he is still not satisfied.It turned out that the owner kept two houses for himself, but Sun Jingfu wanted to buy these two houses at a low price because of the boxy site, which lacked a corner and did not form a pattern.The homeowner begged for a price increase, but Sun Jingfu ignored it and sealed off a common road, cutting off the family's way out.The homeowner couldn't bear it anymore, jumped out of the wall, and reported to Yang Bofang that Sun Jingfu had been ordered to unseal the lane, and he ignored it after the time limit, and sent patrols to open the lane.

"If you go back to the lord, the deadline is coming soon. When the time comes, Sun Jingfu will ignore it, and the hall will not send anyone to unseal it. Not only will the prestige be ruined, but the order will be invalid, and the owner will have no way to get in and out. He will definitely come to sue. The lord thinks, at that time What should I do?" "The words are true." Shanqi said: "The only way to get rid of the fire is to persuade them to reconcile." "Reconciliation is not a one-sided matter. If Sun Jingfu is willing to buy someone else's house at the market price, the owner has no reason not to sell it!"

"It's not fair, it's not fair! Don't ask Sun Jingfu about this matter, it's not interesting to ask him." Yang Bofang became more and more disgusted, and was quite confused, wondering why he wanted to protect Sun Jingfu like this.Although he said nothing, his face did not hide his dissatisfaction. Shanqi naturally saw it, knowing that Yang Bofang would not give in unless he explained the effect, so he revealed some secrets slightly. "Let me tell you the truth, you are doing the emperor a favor! I want to show Sun Jingfu a favor so that he can teach him to serve the emperor well.

Your brother understands! " I understand it, but I am quite dissatisfied in my heart, but in order to take the overall situation into consideration, I have to think of a way.After thinking for a while, I had a calculation. "I can only try to make compensation." He said: "I will fill in the name of the handyman in the hall for the plaintiff, and tell him to sell the house and rent another house." Let's do it!" Therefore, Yang Bofang sent someone to talk to the landlord, and there was no reason why he would not agree.Unexpectedly, Sun Jingfu lost the lawsuit, but got his wish.What's surprising is that Governor Yang always likes to fight against eunuchs, so why is he so condescending before and then turning back on what he says?

After inquiring carefully, I found out that it was Su Wang's great mediation. Of course, I was very moved, and I took a day off, put on his six-rank costume, prepared filial gifts, and went to Su Wang's mansion to have an audience. There was another accident, an oracle was delivered at the door, and he was received in the new study.The so-called new study room is the uppermost floor of the small western-style building in East Garden.After Sun Jingfu kowtowed his head and thanked him, Shanqi said: "Little Fatty Sun, I want to ask you something, you have to tell the truth."

"yes!" "Let me ask you, you are working in the emperor's palace, do you have a knife on you?" Sun Jingfu's face changed drastically, but seeing that there was no malice on Shanqi's face, he had an idea, "Who did the prince listen to?" He said firmly, "There is absolutely no such thing." "really?" "Really! I dare not bully the prince!" "Sure enough?" Shanqi's theater fans offended again. "If the prince doesn't believe it, I can swear it." "Alright!" Shanqi nodded, "You swear, I'll listen!" So Sun Jingfu looked at it, knelt down facing a Zhu painting "Infinite Life Buddha" hanging on the west wall, and said loudly: "I, Sun Jingfu, have returned to Lord Su, and will never serve the emperor with a murderous weapon. Forget it, teach me, Sun Jingfu, to strike the sky with lightning, and the entire family will die!" His words were like stir-fried beans, and he spoke very quickly, but the words were true, and he was indeed swearing in a hurry.Shanqi listened to every word in his ears, thinking that eunuchs can't have children, the most taboo is the phrase "extinct species", and Sun Jingfu used it to swear, which shows that he is afraid that others will not believe it.However, it is obvious in the tone that he will not carry a murder weapon in front of the emperor in the future, which does not mean that he has never been like this, and it also shows that the words that someone saw him with a knife in the past are true. "Okay! Sun Jingfu, as long as you say what you say, you are lucky." Shanqi suddenly asked, "What do you usually like to play?" Sun Jingfu was stunned for a moment, and he had to think for a while to understand what he said, "I like to visit the temple market in my spare time," he said, "Look at the novelty and cute little ornaments." "Oh, 'novel and cute'!" Shanqi thought for a moment, then raised his eyebrows suddenly and said, "Yes! Come downstairs with me." After finishing speaking, Shanqi went downstairs first, followed by Sun Jingfu, walked and looked all the way, and saw a large empty room on the second floor, with a huge full-length mirror on the west wall, and a row of mirrors along the wall on the north. A large wooden box with a hanging mouth, boots, horsewhip, etc., as well as racks for knives and guns, and a carpet on the floor, I know it is a particular "box office". Going down is the ground floor, a dining room and a sitting room.Shanqi sat down and told the book boy: "Bring the big wooden box that Mr. Duan gave you!" The box made of boxwood is about a foot high, eight or nine inches wide, and more than three feet long, with a brass handle on the top.After the bookboy brought it up and put it on the table, Sun Jingfu saw four engraved and filled in blue seal characters "Baimei Zodiac" on the side drawer. Shanqi stood up and inspected the small lock on the drawer first, then turned and scolded with a smile: "Little monkey, did you peek?" "No!" The book boy protested in denial. "It's not bad! I deliberately locked the lock backwards. The keyhole is on the left. Now it's along the lock. Who else is not you?" The book boy blushed immediately, and said with a sly smile: "I saw it, but I didn't show it!" "Bastard thing, you have the nerve to say it!" While scolding, Shanqi unlocked the lock with the key tied to the copper ring, and opened the drawer. Inside were eight clay figurines with different identities and postures. There were young women in the prime of life; young ladies with undiminished charm; The jasper at Pengmen and the warbler in Quxiang, sitting or lying down, have a very beautiful posture. For a while, you can see it all over, but you can't bear to look at it, Sun Jingfu is so happy that his heart is in a mess. "Take it out and have a look!" According to his words, Sun Jingfu reached out and took one. It was a "bride" with a phoenix coronet and a xiapei sitting with her head bowed.During the play, I suddenly discovered the secret. Looking upside down, under the cover of the skirt, two bare thighs were exposed.Sun Jingfu suddenly realized that it was no wonder King Su had such a conversation with his book boy, the master and servant were playing a cunning joke. "How about it?" Shanqi said with a smile, "It's novel and cute enough, isn't it?" "This is much better than Yang Liuqing's Chunhuaer!" Sun Jingfu asked, "Where did the prince get this thing?" "Master Liang Jiangduan sent it." "So it must be something from Wuxi Huishan." "That's right, it's custom-made!" Shanqi pointed to the wooden box and said, "Take it home and play with it!" "Yes!" Sun Jingfu put down the clay figurine in his hands, and greeted him with a smile: "Thank you, my lord, for your reward." "It's not a reward for you, it's a gift in return. Why did you spend money to buy some food? I thought I wouldn't accept it, but I was afraid that you would be paranoid and thought it would not give you face." "It's enough for the lord to reward the slave for his face! The slave is grateful." "Stop talking! I just hope you can do your job well!"
