Volume 1: Settling Down the Tang Dynasty Chapter 243: Censor Zhongcheng

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This is the residence of Jia Zhiyuan, the censor Zhongcheng, the second-in-command of the censorship station.  Although this rank is not very high, he is just a fifth-rank official, but everyone in the court is polite to him.  Are you welcome?  The Yushitai is an institution that monitors hundreds of officials. If you offend the second-in-command of the Yushitai, you are making yourself uncomfortable.

    However, although all the military officials treated him with great courtesy, Jia Zhiyuan had been living a very unhappy life.  As his name suggests, he has very high ambitions.  He doesn't want a house full of gold and silver, or a cloud of beauties, or even a high official and a generous salary. In his eyes, these things are not worth mentioning. He has a higher pursuit.

    That is, he has always thought that he must be famous throughout the ages.  Compared with this, what is the meaning of those other things that are not brought in by birth and taken away by death.

    Therefore, since he was appointed Yushitai, he has been conscientious and dedicated to his work. Moreover, he does not accept banquets from anyone, let alone gifts from anyone. He even rarely interacts with anyone except for work.  .  The so-called cannibal has a short mouth and a grasping hand, and if he does not interact with others, then he has no human sophistication at all. When the time comes, he will be able to meddle with whoever he needs to meddle with without any scruples, and he will mess with whoever he needs to mess with.

    With such conscientiousness and dedication to his duties, his achievements soon came out. Not only was he praised by the emperor countless times, but his position also soared like a rocket.  It didn't matter to him whether he was promoted or not, but the emperor's commendation made him excited, as if he had been given blood, and his eyes were fixed on Wu Baiguan's every move.  As long as there is any crime committed, he will bring those officials directly to the court at an extremely fast speed without showing any mercy.

    This is what you do.  Of course he will offend a lot of people, but he doesn't care. As long as he can get a good reputation, he doesn't care about anything.  Fortunately, the emperor admired his integrity very much, and sometimes he made mistakes because of it.  The emperor would not blame him.  Even sometimes, the emperor would help make peace with other officials because of too much stalemate.

    Logically speaking, this is good.  Once you have a reputation, are respected by all the officials, and the emperor is so loving and supportive, it is a comfortable job for this official.

    "However, Jia Zhongcheng has always been having a hard time in his heart because  There was always someone who had his name covered up. As soon as he made some stars shine, the sky was filled with moonlight.  The world can't even see him, Jia Zhiyuan.  This person is his immediate superior, the imperial censor, Wei Zheng.

    For Wei Zheng.  He really had nothing to say, and he admired it.  But.  He was not convinced, and often said that Wei Zheng was just lucky and encountered those big things. If it were Jia Zhiyuan, he would be able to do the same, and he would not hesitate to speak out and even die to give advice.

    Actually, how did he know that he and Wei Zheng were thousands of miles apart.  He also didn't want to think about why Wei Zheng was always able to grasp the key to things and make a name for himself.  And he always just makes small fuss.  Two people are not on the same level.

    Of course, he will never be aware of this thing. Even if he is aware of it, he will definitely think it is fake.

    "However, God pays off, and today, Jia Zhongcheng finally has a good opportunity.  At this time, he was listening to a report from one of his supervisory censors.

    "What, you mean the main culprit in this matter is still related to the prince?"

    At first, when Jia Zhiyuan heard that someone was just violating the prohibition on alcohol and making wine privately, he felt a little bored.  Especially since these were just a bunch of mountain villagers, they wanted to reprimand them directly.  Their Yushitai is not a county government office.  Fortunately, judging from his experience, this matter must be another case of collusion between government and businessmen, and malpractice for personal gain.  Otherwise, how many mountain villagers would have such courage?  Besides, these men would not be so bored as to treat him as a county magistrate and play tricks on him.

    At first, he thought that it was just some officials the size of green beans who were involved in this matter.  He has no interest in such things. If he wants to do it, he will do it big.

    Who would have known that he would hear the word prince from this subordinate's mouth, and he was immediately surprised and delighted.  Then, he stared at the person in front of him and asked.

    "After the official received the secret report, he sent someone to verify it. After careful investigation, it was found that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had indeed been there several times in recent times. As for what he was doing specifically, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, the official did not dare  We have investigated carefully. However, it is a fact that they are now running a private winery, and this can be confirmed. Therefore, I have come to ask Mr. Zhongcheng for instructions on whether to investigate carefully. After all, this matter concerns the prince."

    The supervisory censor lowered his head and spoke very respectfully.  However, there was some twinkling and fear in those eyes.

    ? ??No, no, we can't scare the snake away.  Don't even think about it. Why is the prince doing so well in this remote country?  There must be an ulterior secret in this.  However, it seems unreasonable for the prince to open a private winery to make wine, shouldn't he?  "

    When he thought that it would be a warning, Jia Zhiyuan immediately said it.  However, suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, the prince shouldn't be short of these two small coins.

    "Well, this subordinate has already checked. He ordered someone to secretly follow their delivery carriage and found that their wine was delivered to Cui Ji Restaurant. When no one was around, he secretly went in to check.  , and found that this was not an ordinary wine, but Erguotou.¡±

    Hearing Jia Zhiyuan¡¯s question, the supervisory censor was stunned for a moment, but then he immediately answered.

    "Erguotou? That's right, it must be right. This Erguotou weighs per kilogram, and there is a saying outside that it is called golden wine. In this case, it is a big deal. Yes, it must be like this.  Well, you should mobilize the troops immediately and set off now. Remember, you must have enough manpower. If those unruly people cause trouble, don't underestimate them. Then, lead the team and set off immediately. It's better for the officer to go there in person.  Bar"

    When Jia Zhiyuan heard that it was Erguotou, he suddenly realized that if this was the case, it would make sense.  This thing is very expensive.

    Now, he has decided that he must have something to do with the prince at this time, so he impatiently decided to take people to get him immediately.

    "My lord, I'm afraid this won't work. It's getting dark now."

    Seeing Jia Zhiyuan actually saying to get someone now, the supervisory censor said in a very embarrassed tone.

    "It's important to apprehend the prisoner. Not to mention it's dark, even if it's snowing heavily, there's no need to hesitate. What are you doing standing still? Why don't you hurry up and gather people?"

    When Jia Zhiyuan heard what the other party said, he immediately said angrily.

    This matter is about the prince. After waiting for countless years, he finally got such a good opportunity.  When the time comes, if this matter is really done, he won't care what kind of punishment the prince will receive, or even whether he will be punished.  The key is that Jia Zhiyuan's reputation for not fearing the imperial power and handling cases impartially can really spread throughout the world.

    Therefore, he couldn't wait for half a minute. If the other party heard about it and destroyed the evidence, he would be happy in vain and miss such an eternal opportunity.  When the time comes, he won't be able to find a place to cry even if he wants to.  Therefore, who cares whether it is day or night?

    "My lord, that's not what I meant when I lowered my rank. Sir, think about it. It's so-called catching thieves and stolen goods, and catching traitors and couples. Now, it's late at night, and people have already stopped working. If we run, we won't be able to catch them at all.  There is no evidence. People can say that those items were there some time ago, before the prohibition on alcohol was issued. When the time comes, we will not be able to provide any evidence to say that they violated the prohibition on alcohol.  But it¡¯s about to cause big trouble.¡±

    Hearing Jia Zhiyuan¡¯s angry rebuke, the supervisory censor quickly began to explain.

    "Oh, it seems that the officials are too eager to handle the case and are confused. Indeed, what you said is absolutely right. Even if we go there and get those wine-making equipment and the like, they can still get away with it. After all, this is a prohibition on alcohol.  The order was issued just a few days ago. By then, if there is no evidence, someone in the court will definitely accuse us of overstepping our authority and even handling the case haphazardly without any evidence. Then it will be really bad.  ¡±

    Hearing the reminder from the other party, Jia Zhiyuan immediately came to his senses and secretly cursed himself for being anxious and confused, for being too impatient.  At that time, if they can't get evidence, those people will definitely deny it.  When the time comes, let alone checking the prince, I'm afraid that the prince's side will have to take the lead and attack him.

    "Well, fortunately you have thought carefully, that's what I think. Don't go back tonight, just stay in the government house for one night. Wait until early tomorrow morning, we will immediately lead people and rush to the scene. By then, everyone will have the stolen goods.  If the evidence is obtained, they will have no choice but to confess. The official will go directly to the court and present it to the emperor. When the time comes well, let's arrange a guest room. "

    Jia Zhiyuan, after thinking for a while, immediately made arrangements.  In the end, the censor who came to report was actually allowed to live in his mansion.  Although he said it was to facilitate tomorrow's actions, in fact, he was worried that he would leak the secret.  The saying is, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality. If he suddenly becomes greedy, it's hard to tell.  Anyway, he absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes in this matter.

    "This I would like to thank you, Lord Zhongcheng"

    The supervisory censor was stunned at first, looking a little unnatural, but then he readily accepted Jia Zhiyuan's suggestion.This is arranged.

    "Haha, it's finally here. It's finally the good opportunity I've been waiting for. Sure enough, the sky will not fail you, and the sky will not fail me."

    After everyone left, Jia Zhiyuan's face was filled with excitement and he kept mumbling.
