At this time, Tong Tuchang stood up with a humming hum. Fang Fengnian's subordinates showed no mercy just now. Tong Tuchang's eyes were blocked in his throat and could not see anything at all. The corners of his mouth were also broken by Fang Fengnian, and a few of his teeth were knocked off. As soon as he spoke, his official uniform was torn apart. I don't know where the swallow wing on the hat went. Anyway, the more miserable it was.

When Tong Tuchang saw Fu Wenlong coming, he quickly said, "Gei Fu, you have to make the decision for the officials. Fang Fengnian and these officials beat the officials without asking any questions. Look at me, I have to go to see the emperor! How can this be seen!"

When Fu Wenlong heard this, he was not good. If it was just a normal fight, it would be fine. The civil servant would have to fight once or twice a year. However, Tong Tuchang was in charge of the emperor and then hit him again, which was disrespectful to the emperor. This crime would be a big deal.

Fu Wenlong, who is worthy of being an old bureaucrat, interrupted Tong Tuchang and asked Fang Fengnian: "Shutian, what's going on? Did Lord Tong say that you beat him?"

Fang Fengnian was not a fool either. When he heard Fu Wenlong say this, he quickly nodded and said, "Mr. Fu, that's exactly what happened. Tong Tuchang came in and relied on his identity as a third-rank governor, and he heard that we were from Yangzhou and even slandered Governor Ma. The subordinates could no longer bear it and then hit him!"

Tong Tuchang heard Fang Fengnian talking nonsense here indiscriminately, pointed at Fang Fengnian with anger and cursed: "You old man, did I say that?"

Fu Wenlong ignored Tong Tuchang, but asked several other civil servants: "Is what Lord Fang said the truth?"

The other people were promoted by Ma Jiyuan and they all took action. I don’t know what to say.

One of the fifth-rank officials said: "Old Master Fu, what Lord Fang said just now is the truth. Tong Tuchang also said that his uncle was the biggest in the court, and even the Chief Master Ma did not take it seriously!"

When Fu Wenlong heard the complaints from the officials that turned black and white, he said to Tong Tuchang: "Mr. Tong, why are you so unloved? I think you, a third-rank governor, are really not qualified!"

You should know that Fu Wenlong is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and the promotion of officials in the world. If he is an ordinary official, Fu Wenlong's saying this will basically end his career. But Tong Tuchang is a minister of the dragon after all, and his uncle Tong Yangjia is very powerful, so Tong Tuchang is not afraid of Fu Wenlong's threat.

"Okay! I understand. You guys are coming for our uncle and nephew. Please wait, this matter is not over!" After Tong Tuchang said that, he covered his leaking mouth and ran out of the Human Resources Department's office and went to ask his uncle to judge him.

Tong Shun, who was waiting outside the door, watched his master come in. He soon turned into this appearance and was stunned for a moment.

Tong Tuchang came to Tong Shun and said, "Hurry, go to Qianbulang, I'm going to go to uncle!"

Qianbulang is already an imperial city, and no one can enter at any time. However, Tong Tuchang carries the emperor's imperial edict, and the guards of Hongwu Gate put Tong Tuchang in after seeing the imperial edict.

Tong Tuchang came to the office of Qianbulang cabinet and found his uncle and cried loudly.

Tong Yangjia is now busy with the newly added 100,000 troops. Nearly 100,000 troops from Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren outside the city were selected by nearly 100,000 troops, plus Li Chengdong's 27,000 cavalry, which is nearly 120,000. Although the emperor ordered these people to be equipped with cold weapons, it also requires money. After the Chinese New Year, Tong Yangjia was busy with this matter and had not been home for several days.

Today, Tong Yangjia heard the report from outside the clerk. His nephew wanted to see him. Tong Yangjia was still a little unhappy and complained in his heart that his nephew was so old and still ignorant. As an official from another province, he should first go to the Human Resources Department to report, and then go to the Tongzhengsi to register to meet the emperor. That is why he could meet his uncle as soon as he came back.

Tong Yangjia was going to scold his nephew a few words, but Tong Tuchang knelt on the ground and cried when he came in.

"Uncle, you want to make the decision for your nephew. My nephew was almost beaten to death just now!"

When Tong Yangjia saw Tong Tuchang's appearance, he scolded angrily: "Who! Who dares to hit my nephew!"

"Uncle, my nephew went to the Human Resources Department to report that he met several officials from Yangzhou who came back from Yangzhou in the dental room. There was nothing at all, but Fang Fengnian, the leader, was slandered after knowing who his nephew was. He couldn't help but scold his nephew and scolded his uncle. The nephew was so angry that he argued with them. He didn't expect that Fang Fengnian would fight his nephew and hurt his nephew!"

Tong Yangjia looked at Tong Tuchang and cried, heartache. He and Tong Tuchang were in desperate destiny for more than ten years. Their relationship had already surpassed their uncle and nephew, and they were almost the same as their brothers in life and death. Now, seeing that their nephew was beaten like this, I couldn't help but scold him: "Are you a dead person? Don't you know how to fight back?"

"Uncle, there are so many people. A few of them pressed down on their nephew's limbs. Fang Fengnian greeted his nephew's face. Uncle, look, and he had a few teeth removed!"

Tong Yangjia stood up at a row of tables and said, "Let's go, I will take you to find Fu Wenlong to judge. He was beaten in their Human Resources Department. As the chief cabinet master, wouldn't he say something?"

Tong Tuchang quickly stood up and stopped Tong Yangjia and said, "Uncle, no! Fu Wenlong and Fang Fengnian met. With Fu Wenlong support, Fang Fengnian turned around and said that his nephew relied on his uncle's power to insult Ma Jiyuan first. In order to maintain Shangguan's moral integrity, he attacked his nephew. Fu Wenlong listened and believed it, and said that his nephew was not qualified to be a governor!"

When Tong Yangjia heard this, he cursed: "I forgot that Fu Wenlong and Ma Jiyuan are relatives of their children. It seems that Fu Wenlong is also preparing to break up with me!"

In the past, Tong Yangjia's main enemy was the Ma brothers. Although Fu Wenlong had a close relationship with the Ma family, he did not get involved in the Tongma dispute. Now it seems that Fu Wenlong is not ready to remain neutral!

Tong Yangjia walked around the house twice and asked, "Did you say you brought the emperor's imperial edict?"

Tong Tuchang was stunned and said, "I just said it when I entered the house, but Fu Wenlong sat on Fang Fengnian's side and insisted that his nephew didn't say it!"

Tong Yangjia sneered and said, "This is easy. I will take you to see the emperor later. You have to insist that they only acted after knowing that you want to face the king. Do you know?"

After Tong Yangjia said that, he picked up the waist card given by the emperor and took his nephew Tong Tuchang to the palace to file a lawsuit.

Zhu Hongsan had just finished his meal in the palace and was discussing the new policy of silver dollar with the chief minister Ma Mingyuan. Now Nanjing is in trouble, and he can't do anything without silver. In Guangdong, Zhu Hongsan gave them two years to win over the literati and officials. Two years later, the silver taels were abolished and all of them were changed to silver dollar transactions. However, in just half a year, the court's finances were in short supply. Zhu Hongsan had no choice but to ask Ma Mingyuan to discuss whether to take the time forward.

At this moment, the small yellow gate outside the palace came in to report that the second assistant Tong Yangjia took Tong Tuchang to ask for a meeting.

When Zhu Hongsan heard that Tong Tuchang was finally back, he was happy and asked Xiaohuangmen to inform them to come in.

When Ma Mingyuan heard Tong Yangjia and Tong Tuchang come together, he felt a stir and quickly said, "Your Majesty, Tong Tuchang is really unpredictable. Officials from other provinces either go to the Human Resources Department to report first, or go to the Tongzheng Department to wait for the emperor to summon him. If there is a reason to go home as soon as you come back, please ask the emperor to punish Tong Tuchang for his great disrespect!"

Zhu Hongsan heard that Ma Mingyuan was cruel enough, but he wanted to behead his head because Tong Tuchang didn't come to see him first. It was a bit too much to chop Tong Tuchang's head before he came to see him.

"Mr. Ma, you also know that the Tong family's uncle and nephew have a deep relationship. It is normal for Tong Tuchang to meet his uncle first!"

The prince Zhu Hai next to him originally wanted to give Tong Yangjia some rotten medicine, but after hearing what his father said, he had to give up!

After a while, Tong Yangjia led the dust-clad Tong Tuchang in. As soon as Tong Yangjia entered the house, he knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, the old minister is really incompetent! You can't even protect a nephew. Please let the old minister go home to take care of his old age!"

Zhu Hongsan was confused when he heard Tong Yangjia say this, and quickly said to Zhu Hai: "Crown Prince, go and help Mr. Tong up!"

Zhu Hai had no choice but to help Tong Yangjia up. Tong Yangjia got up and pulled Tong Tuchang and said, "Your Majesty, look, my nephew was going back to Beijing to meet you, but in the tooth room of the Ministry of Human Resources, he was beaten like this by Fang Fengnian, the acting prefect of Yangzhou. Please make the decision for the old minister!"

Zhu Hongsan was very angry when he saw Tong Tuchang being beaten like that. Tong Tuchang was a third-rank official and was beaten like this by a fourth-rank prefect. What kind of tradition is this? You should know that in the past, officials fought at the same level, and the Pavilion Master vs. the Pavilion Master, and the Shangshu, and now the subordinates actually fought at the superiors. How can the imperial court maintain its majesty in the future?

Zhu Hongsan slapped the table in anger and said to Li Chengen beside him: "Old Li, take the imperial guards in the palace and go to the Human Resources Department to escort several officials who beat Tong Tuchang!" Li Chengen took the people out after receiving the order.

Ma Mingyuan didn't expect that this was the case. Fang Fengnian knew that it was his elder brother Ma Jiyuan and the same year as Fu Wenlong. It seemed that today's matter was big or small. Ma Mingyuan thought about what to do today? Should he help his elder brother? If he didn't help him, Fang Fengnian would be very likely to be guilty, but it would be no benefit to help his elder brother, so it was really difficult.

The Ministry of Personnel was not far from the palace. After a while, Li Chengen took Fang Fengnian and several others to take Fang Fengnian, and the other ones were accompanied by the Pavilion Master Fu Wenlong.

When Zhu Hongsan saw the people coming in, he asked, "Who is the agent of Yangzhou Prefecture Fang Fengnian?"

Fang Fengnian stood up and said, "I have met Your Majesty in Fang Fengnian!"

Zhu Hongsan looked at the old man, snorted and asked, "Fang Fengnian, you, as long as you represent Yangzhou Prefecture, dare to beat the third-rank governor. If you become the prefect of Yangzhou, will you not even take me seriously?"

Fang Fengnian was a clear stream before, and he was just talking. He heard the emperor say this and replied: "Your Majesty, when Tong Tuchang knew that I was a subordinate of Governor Ma, he spoke viciously, saying that his uncle was in charge of the Ministry of War, and all the soldiers in the world must listen to his uncle. Governor Ma also relies on his uncle to win battles. If his uncle is unhappy, he will make Governor Ma defeat in front of the army and ruin his reputation! I really can't stand Tong Tuchang's face. In order to maintain His Majesty and Shangguan's etiquette, he attacked Tong Tuchang!"
