Episode 9

Li Chengze, who left the Vegetable Picking Department and returned to the palace, saw no one on the street. He picked up the jewelry left behind by ordinary merchants due to street cleaning, and deliberately left money.

Li Chengze was puzzled. He didn't understand why Fan Xian called him to the vegetable picking department and deliberately and blatantly accepted bribes from Eunuch Dai in front of him. Xie Bi'an couldn't guess Fan Xian's intentions. It was inconvenient for Li Chengze to step forward to impeach Fan.However, he was unwilling to miss this good opportunity to suppress Fan Xian. Their conversation was heard more and more clearly by Deng Zi who was hiding aside.

Emperor Qing asked Eunuch Hou to hand the memorial directly to Fan Xian. Eunuch Hou reminded Fan Xian to explain the matter to Shu.Fan Xian didn't take it seriously. He didn't react for a long time, and the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate started talking about it.Fan Xian had no choice but to send Wang Qinian to deliver a picture to the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which had the four characters "狋狋Barking" written on it, calling the censors barking dogs. They were so angry that they collectively impeached Fan Xian andEunuch Dai even suspected that Eunuch Dai was Fan Xian's godfather.

When Eunuch Dai heard about this, he complained endlessly and vented his bitterness in front of Hong Zhu. Hong Zhu gave him good words and advice.Fan Xian deliberately made the matter a big deal, hoping to turn the officialdom of Kyoto upside down. Fan Xian asked Yan Bingyun to use his influence to investigate officials outside Beijing. Yan Bingyun didn't want to get involved in this matter, but he couldn't stand it.Wang Qinian and Gao Gao had a rough and tumble battle.When Liu Ruyu heard that Fan Xian was impeached by the imperial censors, she couldn't help but sweat for him. She wanted to go to the palace to talk to her sister Yigui, but Fan Xian had already made careful arrangements and advised Liu Ruyu not to go to the palace.water.

Fan Sizhe went all the way north to Northern Qi, and Li Chengze sent people to follow him closely. They looked for opportunities to capture Fan Sizhe alive.Fan Xian came to inspect a place and saw his colleagues eating meat. Deng Ziyue was eating dry food alone in the warehouse. Fan Xian learned that the money for buying meat was the fifty taels of silver given by Wang Qinian to Deng Ziyue as hush money. Deng Ziyue accidentally saw Eunuch Dai using money.To bribe Wang Qinian, Wang Qinian gave him fifty taels of silver.Fan Xian also learned that Deng Ziyue fulfilled his duties, did not engage in corruption, bribery, or false accounting, and was humble to his colleagues, which made him a good person. In fact, Deng Ziyue was also an upright person back then. He did not expect that he would become so submissive after a few years in office.

Deng Ziyue was born in a poor family in Dingzhou, and he had great ambitions when he was young. At that time, a captain in the border army forged account books and defrauded official silver by buying horse feed. Deng Ziyue fought his way through the siege and sent the evidence to the forensic investigation institute., Chen Pingping thought of his bravery and uprightness, and specially approved him to enter the inspection institute.Over the years, Deng Zi has become more and more aware of the darkness and injustice in the officialdom, but others have spoken softly, so he can only temporarily put aside his talents and become a good man.

Fan Xian offered to be Deng Ziyue's backer and encouraged him to stand up and be his original self. The sooner Deng Ziyue was wiped out, he had no fighting spirit and just wanted to be alone.Fan Xian scolded him, and Deng Ziyue finally woke up from the scolding. He vowed to help Fan Xian change the corrupt officialdom. Fan Xian asked him to ghostwrite a self-defense letter, which only said: "Traitors are in power, so what's the crime?"% eight characters.There were more and more memorials to impeach Fan Xian, and Emperor Qing couldn't stand it, so he decided to let Fan Xian and the censors confront each other in court.Yan Bingyun received evidence of the crimes of officials from outside Beijing collected by his colleagues and handed it over to Chen Pingping as soon as possible. Chen Pingping sent a personal bodyguard shadow to send a message to Fan Xian overnight, so that Fan Xian could go to the palace to defend himself tomorrow.

Li Chengqian was worried that Fan Xian would not be able to compete with those eloquent censors, so he came early to wait for Fan Xian outside the main hall and gave him numerous instructions. Fan Xian already had a plan in mind, and Li Chengqian felt a little relieved.Fan Xian found out that Xin Qiwu was deliberately avoiding him, so he shouted to stop him. Xin Qiwu had to greet Fan Xian with a smile. All the censors mobilized to confront Fan Xian in the court. Unexpectedly, the Privy Council was sending QinYe also arrived early.
