Chapter 953: Becoming more sinful without resignation
Soon, the people gathered in the square were dispersed, and in the end, only a dozen strong men were left staring at each other. Don't look at the number of Shenwu Army soldiers who are comparable to them, but these dozen or so people have long been scared like chickens in the wind, shivering.
These people are not stupid, of course they can see that the soldier in front of them and Zhang Jie are out of breath, and now I am afraid it will be their turn to be unlucky. However, the strong man who took the lead still had a backer behind him, and did not take these soldiers in his eyes, but cheered up the accomplices behind him.
"Don't be afraid, we're here on business, go and invite the dukes of Jingzhao Mansion out. ”
Along with them, there were several officials sent by Jingzhao Mansion, which naturally became the first shield they could rely on.
Zhang Jie sneered a few times, now that the Shenwu Army is in charge, he can let go of his hands and feet to toss this matter as big as possible. After the initial shock and anger subsided, he could already conclude that these people who came to make trouble today had nothing to do with Li Xu, the king of Xiang.
In fact, he was going to look for the prince's stubble, but someone took the initiative to hand over the pillow when he fell asleep, and the person who handed the pillow was actually Xiangwang Li Xun himself. How can such a great opportunity be passed up so easily?
Therefore, Zhang Jie was not in a hurry to deal with these few domestic slaves who were fighting with people, but whispered a few words to the brigade leader, ordering him to quickly dispatch more people over, and at the same time inform Tian Chenghei that a good show was about to be staged.
Zhang Jie and Tian Chengsi established a deep relationship of trust during the counterattack on Chang'an, and now he is the only one who can help him.
After explaining these things, several officials from Jingzhao Mansion walked out shaking their heads and shaking their heads under the crowd.
"Who's ......"
Before he could say the question, Zhang Jie broke off:
"Pretending to be an official of the imperial court, trespassing into the mansion of an official, and looting property, according to the provisional public security regulations, any of them are crimes of killing the head!
Before the words fell, the soldiers of the Shenwu Army rushed over like wolves, kicked the two Jingzhao Mansion officials who were still in an inexplicable state to the ground, and then tied them up solidly.
At the same time, another Shenwu soldier drew the horizontal knife at his waist and gestured in front of them. Where have the two officials of Jingzhao Mansion experienced such a battle, and they thought that the other party really regarded themselves as the perpetrators of the murder, and they were scared to the point of being-in-a-urine, but fortunately, they still knew how to defend themselves:
"Spare your life, spare your life, I'll wait for the truth, it's really the assistant of Jingzhao Mansion, no, it's not a lie......"
"Dare to quibble when you are dying, slap your mouth!"
The soldiers couldn't help but say something, and slapped the two assistants with their bows left and right. Such a series of actions also frightened the dozen or so strong men to stand on the spot. The powerful and evil slaves are generally masters who bully the weak and fear the hard, and they don't even dare to make a sound in front of the murderous Shenwu soldiers.
Of course, Zhang Jie knew that these two officials were from Jingzhao Mansion, but he just wanted to be indistinguishable and take the lead, and only when the people present were frightened could he easily make these people obediently confess to the mastermind behind the scenes.
After a while, Zhang Jie's plan came to fruition, whether it was the assistant or the dozen strong men, they all obediently admitted it, especially the dozen or so strong men, they have always been unscrupulous and rampant in the market, how could they have ever kicked on the iron plate?
They suddenly discovered that this little man of the Ministry of Officials had such a deep foundation that even the Shenwu Army obeyed his command. At this time, what they thought and worried about was that their master would not offend the Shenwu army and rescue him, and if he refused, wouldn't they become scapegoats?
Therefore, without waiting for Zhang Jie to interrogate carefully, the strong men kowtowed and begged for mercy:
"Lang Zhong spares his life, spares his life, we say, say...... We are Du Yuanwailang's house slaves, and offending Lang Zhong was also ordered by the head of the family, so we have to ...... for it."
"Du Zhen?"
This is a very familiar name, because just before he came, the file that Zhang Jie read was about this person. Du Zhen is just a member of the Ministry of Rites, of course, it is impossible to command the Jingzhao Mansion, what this person can really rely on is his identity as the wife and brother of King Xiang.
The two officials of Jingzhao Mansion who were swollen in the face also hurriedly agreed, although their words were slurred, they could still hear what they said clearly.
"We, we Jingzhao Shaoyin is this Du Zhen's cousin, we, we are also instructed to come!"
moved out of Jingzhao Shaoyin and Zhang Ji, but it was much more than Zhang Jie expected. Zhang Ji, as the deputy of Jingzhao Yin and Li Guangbi, also met with Doctor Qin several times, and he was also present a few times at that time, so he had a good impression of this person. Unexpectedly, he participated in the party struggle so quickly, and what was even more unexpected was that the first person targeted was himself.
Zhang Jie is also ruthless, he doesn't care what Jingzhao Shaoyin is, as long as he is involved in the incident of King Xiang's conquest, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he will find out the evidence of their crimes and bring them to justice. With more than ten years of experience as an official, all officials, whether courtiers or magistrates, are almost very clean. With that Zhang Ji's behavior, it seems that he is by no means a clean person, and he will definitely not be clean.
However, Zhang Jie does not have the power to arrest people, only Tian Chenghe, the enforcer of the Chang'an Provisional Public Security Regulations, has this power, but he has the right to deal with any public security cases involving Chang'an City, regardless of the identity of the person involved.
Therefore, only through the way of Tian Chengsi can we knock the mountain and shock the tiger in the form of a quick knife to cut the mess.
Tian Chengsi was already gearing up and eager to try, and when he saw that Zhang Jie had seized the opportunity, he immediately jumped three feet high, and went to Jingzhao Mansion to get people with great fanfare. It was also Zhang Ji's bad luck that he happened to be hit squarely. Tian Chengsi didn't allow him to distinguish at all, and was directly escorted back to the army for interrogation.
Zhang Ji is still a little bold as Jingzhao Shaoyin, and he was not frightened by the turbulent momentum, but he continued to threaten Tian Chenghe, his name even knew Doctor Qin, and he had been a guest of Doctor Qin several times, if there was no reasonable and legal basis to arrest people so hastily, he would definitely not give up.
If you are an ordinary person, you may be intimidated by this threat. And what kind of person is Tian Chenghe? He is a veteran who has been killed from the sea of corpses and blood, and he has never seen the winds and waves of life and death? He only smiled and did not even answer him head-on.
After arresting several of the main people involved in the case, Tian Chengsi immediately struck while the iron was hot and pulled out King Xiang behind them in one fell swoop. However, Zhang Jie stopped his action.
After all, King Xiang's status is precious, and this problem is not enough to put him into a situation where it is difficult to turn over, if it is made to swallow warm water, it will be unfavorable to you and me, and let Doctor Qin see you and me clearly!
The two have known each other for a short time, but they can talk about everything, and seeing that there is no one left and right, Tian Chengsi said in a low voice:
"Yi Tian speculated that King Xiang or King Qi were not the candidates for the crown prince that Doctor Qin wanted. But Doctor Qin has come up with a method of being elected by a hundred officials, if we don't take this opportunity to get rid of one of the most popular Xiangwang first, what if we really let him do something?"
Zhang Jie had already seen these judgments thoroughly, so he had to draw a line with King Xiang that night, not only to draw a clear line, but also to break it.
Originally, he still had a little compassion in his heart, but now it seems that this is also a gentleman who doesn't know the height of the sky, even if he is a prince, he is also a fool for evil.
"If you want to bring King Xiang in, you must find another charge, and King Xiang has never known the point, so it may not be difficult to find a suitable charge. ”
However, the facts were completely contrary to Zhang Jie's guess, and after some rough combing, they were disappointed to find that although King Xiang had many problems in the subsections, they were all the same as today's problems, and the real fierce medicine was not at all.
At sunset, Zhang Jie couldn't eat sadly, so he turned away all the entertainment, and only looked through the file intently, hoping to find some secrets from it.
These files were transferred from Jingzhao Mansion and from various ministries, and most of the matters involved were trivial and complicated, so in order not to omit them, Zhang Jie even carefully read each volume at least twice.
Suddenly, Zhang Jie found a volume that he had never read from the pile of files he had already read, and strangely he opened it with his hand, and after only a few glances, he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.
"Come on, please ...... Tian quickly"
He originally wanted to invite Tian Chengsi over, but immediately changed his mind and decided to go to the army to see Tian Chengsi in person.
"Prepare the horses!"
The war horse galloped, and half an hour later, Zhang Jie saw Tian Chenghe, who was frowning.
Because of the arrest of Jingzhao Shaoyin Zhang Ji, Tian Chengsi was under tremendous pressure in this half-day effort, and even Doctor Qin personally gave instructions that if it was just a private house and there was no worse case, this case could be stopped, and only those specific handlers could be punished.
"It seems that not only Tian, but also Dr. Qin must have been stepped on by the person who asked him to intercede. Brother Zhang, your and I are now in a situation where you are being put on a hard stand, if you give in and let people go,"
After listening to Tian Chenghe's complaints, Zhang Jie laughed out loud.
"General Tian is also concerned about chaos, how can he not see it, this is Dr. Qin playing a show to those people, this is telling General Tian in a down-to-earth manner, we must investigate to the end! We will not tolerate it! Otherwise, wouldn't it break the tradition of clear rewards and punishments for the Shenwu Army?"
When he landed, Tian Chengsi had a great sense of epiphany, and while knocking on his head, he laughed at himself:
"Tian is still not as thoughtful as Brother Zhang, and he didn't see through the key!"
But then he sighed:
"But if you want to find out, how easy is it?"
Of course, he also knew that Zhang Jie had learned nothing this afternoon.
"Please general, see what this ...... is"
Zhang Jie took out the dossier from his waist and shook it in front of Tian Chenghe.
