By ardless of whether it was Shangjing in the North or Jingdou in the South, they were all enveloped by a flourishi+ng sceneIn Jiangnan, the crystal-clear waters undulated, the greenthe river pushed out their tender new branchesThey all fully embodied the word ”vitality”
The palace treasury was southwest of Jiangnan Road, and it could not escape the blessings of natureIn only a few days, up and down the river and outside of the workshops, shoots of green grass began to slowly growLight pink flowers adorned the slightly dry and dusty yareatly lessened the harsh and cold at to the yanreetingNow that the bloody rains had passed, the i opening biddingThethe court to discuss matters, Fan Xian sat in the center seat and spoke briefly about arrange daysHowever, there were no trusted aides at his and much of what he said was quite standardFor exa law in ulations the court had revised for the palace treasury couldn't be violated
No es or officials' salaries, they had to be passed down promptlyThe day-to-day maintenance of law and order and defensive work also needed to be done reed to whatever the imperial envoy saidWith the vision of five headless bodies froh to clash with hied for Su Wenmao to remain behind, except he did not have a position in the transport companyFan Xian temporarily shi+fted his jurisdiction into the Fourth BureauTogether with Dan Da, they led the Overwatch Council spies in the palace treasury
The officials knew that after Fan Xian finished hosting the spring opening of the palace treasury in Suzhou, he would zhouThis was a practice established er did not live in the palace treasuryThus, Su Wenmao who remained in the palace treasury, essentially became the representative of the imperial envoyThe officials dared not be irreverent, so they quickly stood and greeted Su Wened, Fan Xian furrowed his browsHe quietly said to Deputy Ma Jie beside hiht; I am about to do it”
This was a superfluous show of respect toward the deputy, however, Ma Jie's face looked pained as he shook his head
Sitting on Fan Xian's right hand, a strange light flashed through General Ue's eyesHe didn't knohat the imperial envoy was up toHe hadn't been infor insincerely, Su Wenreeting”Today, we have made certain acts undertaken by soal…those who mobilized treasurers to cause trouble and rocked the foundations of the palace treasuryApologies to all for the offence”
Following the apology, seven or eight Overwatch Officials came in from the side of the yamen and openly and rudely asked a few of the seated officials to leave their seats, then rudely reryAs they refused, they berated, ”You are too daring!”
The other officials who it wasn't aimed at relaxed a little, but they knew the methods of the Overwatch CouncilIn front of the Overwatch Council, the Qing Court civil ministers were in a natural allianceThey quickly stood up and asked Fan Xian, ”Sir, what is this for?”
In reality, none of them were stupid; they knewThe officials who had their official's hat removed by order of Fan Xian were all trusted aides the Eldest Princess had planted in the palace treasuryThe i the previous person and replanting his own seedlingsThis still concerned the officialsTo aggressively take people in the ya their faceIt was understandable they had to argue a bit with Fan Xian
Fan Xian glanced at the officials and said warmly, ”There is no need to be suspicious, and there is no need to ask fordown these officials”
To his right sat General Ye, who had an unpleasant expressionHe glanced at Deputy Ma Jie beside hi the aardness with difficulty, there was no expression of surprise in his eyesHe had probably been notified by Fan Xian last nightGeneral Ye's loomyHe said in a muffled voice, ”Sir, these officials had worked the transport co time and dedicated themselves selflessly to public dutiesTo just take them like this, perhaps…it will be difficult to explain”
Fan Xian glanced at him, and then smiled and said, ”Dedicated themselves selflessly to public duties? I'm afraid that likely is not the case”
General Ye's expression was slightly heavy”Even if they have occasionally acted inappropriately, you gave out the three-day order and these men followed and done as orderedYou said clearly that no one would be punished, so they should not be punished”
Fan Xian lowered his headHe knehy General Ye and the other officials had jumped out to oppose him todayThe reason was actually quite sieneral knew that he could not hold back his methods and the hat he used to suppress hieThe court could not afford to have the palace treasury not working for a dayHowever, taking down the officials today touched on a sensitive lineThey were scared that the dual positioned Overwatch Council commissioner and ie net and overturn the entire transport company
For General Ye, his fa to the fact was Ye Ling'er's relationshi+p to the Second Prince, so they were already faint signs of theh General Ye had never received any secret zhou, he knew that Fan Xian was capturing people today to dig out the Eldest Princess' trusted aides in the palace treasuryHe instinctively wanted to keep so for the Eldest PrincessIn case Fan Xian expanded his power in the palace treasury, General Ye orried that his future would not be a sHe simply took out a scroll from his robes and handed it to General Ye
General Ye was surprised and accepted the scrollHe spread it openHis expression gradually darkened as he read itOn the scroll was listed all the sha capturedThe crimes were not focused on the so-called bribery lorious roles these officials played on the jianghuAll of the evidence, even the confessions of the traitorous treasurers, were clearIt listed which official spoke at which time to which treasurers and as saidThe places and names were all written clearlyThe strike description was extremely accurate, and it was truly a superiorat the lines of evidence, the general began to develop a chill in his heartThis imperial envoy had only been in the palace treasury a few days, so how could he have investigated all of the secrets of the transport company so clearly? Furthermore, how could the people of the Overwatch Council know so clearly the conversations between Xinyang's trusted aides and the treasurers? Was it to say that there were Overwatch Council spies within the palace treasury itself? Thinking of this, General Ye remembered the ruht vipers who found their way in through any crevasseInvoluntarily he began to worry about himself and his own manorWould there be Overwatch Council spies in there?
As a general in charge of the palace treasury defenses, he was not particularly afraid of the Overwatch CouncilFirst of all, he was a Third-level official, and the Overwatch Council did not have the power to investigate hi for an edictSecond, as a me at the power of the Qing Kingdoive hihu, General Ye speculated that his performance was decentToday truly involved the matter of the Eldest Princess' face as well as the douHe resisted the unease in his heart and stood upHe saluted Fan Xian and said sincerely, ”Sir, this…”
After all, he had the identity of a leader and wasn't sure how to organize the words to ask for mercyFan Xian smiled and look at himHe shook his head and said, ”There is no need to ask for zhou had not sent any esHe did not knohich side to stand on, thus he sunk himself into a position between a rock and a hard placeHowever, Fan Xian athered up his courage to speak”But Sir, these people are all officials of the transport coer of the transport company or as the commissioner of the Overwatch Council?”
He lowered his voice and said, ”Sir, even as an imperial envoy and all the evidence is present, if the case is to be tried, the court still needs a few days to openThis…the palace treasury is about to open”
Fan Xian glanced at hiht about it and understoodIf he wanted to take in these officials, the identity under which he did so was importantIf he used the identity of the Overwatch Council coate the case, then it could incite discussions in court once it got back to JingdouThe court elders would likely think he was targeting the Eldest Princess and so onIf he used the er of the transport company identity or that of the i it out
But, as Fan Xian? Why would he care about the discussions in Jingdou? He smiled and said, ”General Ye, don't worry toolaw and would not do things carelesslyToday, I a fair, I will not try these officialsas it is not you personally trying the case, no dou leansHaving received Fan Xian's prodou, so he mumbled and retreatedHe was only curious about why Fan Xian was not trying the case personallyWas he going to shut these officials in the palace treasury? They couldn't always be kept shut awayThe court would eventually send out an inquiry
”I will bring thes to the court, although they rarely interact with court officials, by the regulations they are governed by Jiangnan Road”
He gazed at the uneasy faces of the officials and said coly, ”I knohat you are all worried aboutPlease be assured, I aeJust as I said to General Ye earlier, for the purpose of being fair, I will not personally try these people, instead I will hand thehtly”With Sir Xue trying the case, I trust that you will no longer have any suspicions” He looked at the trusted aides of the Eldest Princess still standing opposite the Overwatch Council officialsA thread of anger flashed by the corner of his le catching chicks?”
Su Wenlared viciously at his subordinatesThe Overwatch Council official felt shame in their heartsThey went forwardA few circle kicks later, they had palace treasury officials who cried their grievances to the heavens and would not subround, so they tied them up securely
