Chapter 2518 Three Companies Work Together to Handle the Case

Chen Xiao came again, this time to invite Fang Xing to his home for dinner.

"My father retired."

Chen Xiao said with some regret: "He retired at the age of fifty, which makes me speechless."

Chen Jiahui actually retired?

Fang Xing couldn't believe it and asked: "Is uncle not feeling well?"

Chen Jiahui is only fifty-five years old, and he is the best candidate for Shuntian Prefecture Governor. He actually retired?

Shuntian Prefecture Governor!

Chen Xiao touched his head and said, "I cultivated several kinds of corn this time. His Majesty was happy to see it, and then gave me a month's leave. Then my father wrote a letter to retire. As for his health... He slapped me in the face this morning, it hurts. Then I was teasing my son, but he made him cry. You know, my father loves his grandson, so he was furious. I must have run, but my father caught up with me in a few seconds."

"My father has been an official. He takes the children to play and teaches them when he has nothing to do. Xiao Ran also keeps an eye on the two children. My mother loves them even more. I have become a wooden man, and no one pays attention to me."

The resentful Chen Xiao did not make Fang Xing feel any sympathy. He stood up and said, "Tell the wife and the children to get ready and go to the Chen family as guests."

"Uncle Chen retired?"

Zhang Shuhui was also a little shocked when she heard the news on the way. In her opinion, Chen Jiahui would have to work for at least another ten years.

These days, important officials do not have a retirement age. As long as you are in good health and the emperor thinks you are good, you can continue to work.

As a result, some officials died of illness while in office, such as Xia Yuanji.

Arriving at Chen's house, as soon as I entered the backyard, I saw Chen Jiahui and his grandson squatting under a small tree.

"Dehua is here."

Chen Jiahui stood up with a smile, and did not forget to pull up his seven-year-old grandson, and his doting love was beyond words.

"Meet uncle."

Fang Xing saw Chen Jiahui's ruddy face and powerful movements, so he asked directly: "Uncle, do you have any hidden secrets?"

Chen Jiahui shook his head, "No hidden secrets, it's just that Chen Xiao did a good job."

Fang Xing understood instantly, but Chen Xiao was holding his son and talking, and he didn't think of the more detailed details.

Chen Jiahui smiled at Fang Xing, and Fang Xing looked at Chen Xiao's natural smile when he held his son's hand, and felt that everything was natural.

A father makes sacrifices for his son, and this choice is almost unthinking.

Just as Chen Xiao dotes on his son, no matter how old he is, Chen Jiahui can retire for him in advance at a critical moment.

After having dinner at Chen's house, Fang Xing told Zhang Shuhui the reason on the way back.

"The corn is well cultivated and has been planted. We will know the result after a few attempts. If it succeeds, Chen Xiao may be directly conferred a title, so the uncle took the initiative to retire. This is the father making room for his son!"

There is an unspoken rule in the officialdom, that is, the son's official position cannot be higher than the father's.

If the father and son are of the same rank, and the son looks more promising, it is most likely that the father will take the initiative to retire.

Zhang Shuhui covered her mouth and smiled, "Husband, fortunately, Potato and the others are early. If they have a promising future, you should retire too."

Fang Xing said helplessly, "Three boys, Potato is in the army, I don't know about Ping An, he will probably be a writer, and Huan Huan may be a business in the future. The three sons are different. When they can threaten me as a father... then I will die with my eyes closed."

Zhang Shuhui said with a puff, "Husband, don't talk nonsense. If that day really comes, I will deal with him."

As a wife, she comforted her husband because her son might be too promising. Fang Xing was just trying to hold back his laughter. When he got home, Ping An came to talk to him.

"Dad, why don't I give up the title of Xinfeng Earl."

"Why?"

Fang Xing thought it was a little funny, thinking it was just a kid's nonsense.

Ping An hesitated, "Dad, I...I don't want it anymore."

Fang Xing smiled and rubbed his head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, little brat! Study hard, and when you are 18 years old, you will be ready to open a mansion, but before that you have to choose the path you want to take in the future.

As a father, I will not interfere, but only provide suggestions."

Later, Fang Xing told Zhang Shuhui about Ping An's idea.

"This child is willing to give up."

Zhang Shuhui felt that Ping An was usually silent, but at this time he was willing to give up all the glory and wealth, and she couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

"He probably thinks that he will be an earl in the future, and I am also an earl. How can a son be of the same rank as his father, hahahaha!"

Fang Xing smiled with relief, while Liu Guan smiled with melancholy.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach these people."

Generally, the Censorate impeaches at most one person, and more than a dozen people is a big deal.

But Liu Guan personally took out a booklet today.

This is crazy!

"How many people are there?"

Huang Huai muttered, and then saw Liu Guan handing the booklet to Yu Jia who came down, and then said: "Your Majesty, these people used slander and other means in the year before last and last year..."

Huang Huai couldn't listen anymore. He felt a buzzing in his ears and his body shook.

Zhu Zhanji seemed to have never known these things. After reading the booklet, he said angrily: "Investigate! Censorate, East Factory, Jinyiwei, go investigate!"

The emperor's anger was a little fake, but the Censorate, East Factory, and Jinyiwei joined forces to investigate the case for the first time, which still shocked people.

No one made suggestions, even the toughest officials couldn't open their mouths to persuade the emperor.

So the people from the East Factory and Jinyiwei went out in full force again.

A group of uniformed guards blocked the outside of the official department.

Opposite them were the officials led by Jian Yi.

There are equal numbers on both sides.

But the combat effectiveness is not at the same level.

The door of the official department is thick and the walls are green bricks. The officials stood behind Jian Yi and responded in silence.

Outside the gate, the spring breeze was warm and the sun was shining brightly. Shen Yang raised his head slightly and said, "Master Jian, the evidence is conclusive that Tang Song has neglected his duties. What are you going to do?"

Jian Yi said nothing, just stood there stubbornly.

The warm spring breeze blew his gray beard and hair. Some of the officials behind him took a step back quietly, while others looked around, feeling panicked.

Shen Yang did not force his way in, but smiled and said: "Master Jian, someone in the local area has already reported that those people were slandering officials and using dirty methods, but they were suppressed by Tang Song."

Jian Yi's lips moved, and finally he shook his head slightly.

He couldn't watch the staff being rushed in by the Jin Yiwei for the second time!

impossible!

His eyes were glowing, as if there were fire burning within them.

Shen Yang said helplessly: "Master Jian, Jin Yiwei is handling the case, and the Procuratorate has also filed a record on this matter."

If it were anyone else, Shenyang would definitely dare to rush in directly, such as the Ministry of Rites.

But Jian Yi was different. He was not only a veteran of several dynasties, but also had been in charge of the civil service for many years and had a high prestige.

If you attack such an old minister, Jin Yiwei will be stabbed in the back.

Shen Yang was not afraid of being poked in the spine, he just simply didn't want to do anything to the old minister.

Xia Yuanji is dying, Xue Lu is dying...

In the glory days since the Yongle Dynasty, these veterans have made great contributions.

He sincerely appreciates and is willing to give them respect.

But giving in is not the answer.

So Shenyang prepared to let people protect Jian Yi.

"Prepare."

As soon as he took a step forward, Guo Jing behind Jian Yi suddenly shouted: "Tang Song, did you really do this?"

Jian Yi's eyes darkened, and his decisive attitude gradually faded.

Shen Yang seized this opportunity and shouted: "Come here, help Master Jian go out to do things. Take Tang Song!"

Shenyang's two confidants rushed over first, and then protected Jian Yi. The people who followed were like wolves and tigers, and the officials avoided him one after another.

Jian Yi watched dumbly as Tang Song, who was trembling all over, was kicked to the ground, and then he held his hands out with his hands behind his back.
