Chapter 182: Helping Yang Xianggong

Fortunately, Qin Jin thought about it quite thoughtfully in advance, and asked the maids in the mansion to come to help, but seeing that it was getting late, he could only solve his urgent needs after all. In desperation, he could only find Wang Shou to discuss the matter.

Wang Shou smiled, "This matter is easy, there are official slaves in Jingzhao Mansion, send some maidservants to take care of them temporarily!"

It is also in this era that there are divisions that have their own duties, but Qin Jin does not understand the actual situation enough, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay to take care of them for three or two days, but for the sake of reputation, many families refuse to admit it and don't come to pick them up, so where do they go to settle down?"

This made Wang Shou very surprised, he couldn't imagine that a general who was determined to kill would be worried about the fate of these poor people, however, the world is so cruel, whether you can accept it or not, he will come unexpectedly and bump into him.

Just like the disaster that the Tang Dynasty is facing at the moment, An Lushan rebelled overnight, and half of the rivers and mountains were caught in the flames of war, what can they do? Fortunately, the imperial court has stabilized the situation, and now it is only up to the effect of the use of troops by the old minister Geshu.

"What can I do? I have to let them fend for themselves, and the Feng family will be responsible for compensation, and give a certain amount of gold and silver compensation for future expenses. ”

Qin Jin nodded, Wang Shou's method is still very reliable, if the family members of these poor women really refuse to claim it, they can only allocate some from Feng Ang's family property for their future needs.

Wang Shou's eyes are still flashing with a strange look, to be honest, he didn't expect that last night's bet was actually right, and now that he thinks about it, although he is still afraid, he thinks that this big case can be solved in his own hands, and he is also worthy of Jing Zhaoyin as an official, and he can also straighten his waist when he says it in the future, saying that he is not afraid of the powerful.

However, when he thought of not being afraid of the powerful, Wang Shou's eyes added a bit of worry, after all, Feng Ang is Gao Lishi's nephew, and I heard that this son is the only male bloodline of the Feng family's generation, presumably Gao Lishi also values Feng Ang very much, and may not be willing to watch him be punished with capital crimes.

If according to Wang Shou's temperament, even if Feng Ang was sentenced to torture such as splitting and beheading, it would not be too much, but because of Gaolishi's considerations, it may be rare to be convicted by beheading and awaiting imprisonment.

Qin Jin didn't know what Wang Shou was thinking, he hadn't had time to think about it so far now, the excavations in the courtyard were still continuing, the number of corpses was still rising, according to the preliminary confession of the servants in Feng's mansion, many women were abused to death, and even some of them were too strong, and there were many people who committed suicide due to humiliation.

However, there is one thing that surprises Qin Jin, although Feng Ang acts obediently and cruelly, he does not seem to be bad for the servants in the palace, but this is not very useful, and at the critical moment, these favored slaves still did not hesitate to betray him.

"Wang Envoy, I don't know if there are official mansions in Jingzhao Mansion, allocate one or two, and temporarily settle them......"

In Qin Jin's thoughts, these poor women should not live in a place where they experience nightmares, and if they can stay away from here, it seems that it will be more conducive to the healing of the trauma.

And his words almost made Wang Shou's eyeballs fall to the ground, Wang Shou looked at Qin Jin in disbelief, such an idea of putting himself in his own shoes is used on his own family, and that's it.

"General Zhonglang's suggestion, I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement, not to mention that there is no suitable house in Jingzhao Mansion, even if there is, Wang doesn't dare to take it out for them to live in. Otherwise, who will be willing to live in these houses that have been tainted with bad luck in the future? Jing Zhaoyin, who will be in the future, will not be allowed to chase after Wang's ass and ask for debts?"

Wang Shou's words made Qin Jin feel a burst of sympathy in his heart, it seems that the world should look at these poor women in the same way as Wang Shou. Those who survive will not only face discrimination from the world, but will also have to endure the pain of being abandoned by their families, and it is better to die than to die.

But even if he died, would it be any better to be transformed into a nameless corpse like dozens of bones in that courtyard?

Obviously, although they are victims, they also have to be unjustly punished and flogged like Feng Ang, the perpetrator of evil.

"The Son of Heaven has ordered a thorough investigation, what does the king plan to do with Feng Ang?"

Although Qin Jin was asking, he was strongly expressing his opinion, that is, Feng Angqi must not be spared lightly, otherwise, looking at the white bones in the courtyard, and those helpless and weak eyes, how can people sleep peacefully?

Wang Shou coughed dryly: "This, naturally, you can't spare him." There is an edict from the Son of Heaven, so why should I be afraid?"

To tell the truth, Wang Shou's performance last night was indeed much beyond Qin Jin's expectations, an official who was originally cowardly and timid, suddenly came with him regardless of it, arrested Feng Ang in the name of Jingzhao Mansion, and personally entered the palace to present the case

Qin Jin believes that Wang Shou will not be anticlimactic. He is only worried now that Li Longji, the Tang Emperor in Xingqing Palace, will have some chilling thoughts brewing.

In fact, Qin Jin guessed correctly, at this time, Li Longji had already regretted the edict with a clear tone, if such a horrific tragedy was completely revealed to the world now, then the rumors and crises might set off an unpredictable storm in Chang'an City overnight.

In the afternoon, Qin Jin, the lieutenant general of the Shenwu Army, also sent his recital. It mentions that dozens of women's bodies have been exhumed in the Von Aung Courtyard, and they are still being excavated at this time, and the exact number has yet to be confirmed.

Dozens of corpses were dug up in a courtyard, and it was not yet the final number, which made Li Longji gasp, the situation in fact was far more shocking than the news sent by Wang Shou in the morning, and at the same time, he also had a more bad premonition.

Putting aside the tearful Colliers, just for the sake of the overall situation, this appalling tragedy should not be publicized, and even public should be treated with caution. What could be more important to the imperial court than stability right now?

At this time, Chang'an seemed to be calm on the surface, but in fact, An Lushan, located in the eastern capital of Luoyang, was already ready to move as early as the beginning of spring, and a big war was inevitable.

Second, Li Longji has balanced the situation in recent months, which can also be said to be heartbreaking. For the sake of overall stability, he even changed his original intention of killing Gao Xianzhi and worshiped him as the prime minister, in order to block everyone's mouths, he had to put the responsibility for the erosion of the current situation on Yang Guozhong's head, and dismissed Yang Guozhong's phase.

However, Yang Guozhong was not angry, and in order to make him recover, he put on a good move, but he was lost cleanly. Until now, Li Longji still has a headache, where to find a recovery step for him.

After thinking about it for a long time, an idea suddenly rose in Li Longji's mind.

Why don't you let Yang Guozhong take charge of this case? In this way, he can justifiably end his recuperation behind closed doors, and as for how the case will be investigated and handled in the end, with Li Longji's thinking, it is naturally a matter of stabilizing the situation, and the less impact the better.

That night, Jing Zhaoyin received another letter from the Son of Heaven, ordering him to hand over all the documents, witnesses, and physical evidence involved in the case to Yang Guozhong. Now this case has been officially handled by Yang Guozhong!

After receiving the edict, Wang Shou was immediately dumbfounded, what did the Son of Heaven want? Is he unable to believe himself, or is there something else hidden? He was puzzled, and his heart was confused, so he asked Qin Jin for an idea.

After Qin Jin learned about this, he only thought about it for a while, and then he already understood Li Longji's thoughts.

Things turned out to be as he expected, Li Longji had deliberately downplayed the case out of the stability of the people in Chang'an, and letting Yang Guozhong come forward to deal with it was just an excuse to end Yang Guozhong's closed-door recuperation.

This kind of speculation naturally can't be said to people at will, he only comforted Wang Shou and asked him not to think about it. The Son of Heaven should have another meaning in doing this, maybe they should do something before Yang Guozhong officially takes over the case.

Qin Jin's proposal immediately scared Wang Shou out of a cold sweat, and he hurriedly waved his hand to stop him.

"Zhonglang will never act recklessly, with the current result has been blessed by heaven, if you make trouble with other moths, I don't know how to be blamed by the Son of Heaven!"

As for Li Longji's thoughts at this time, Qin Jin had already seen it very thoroughly, and what he wanted was nothing more than the overall situation of the imperial court. Admittedly, there is nothing wrong with this kind of thinking, but who should those dozens or even hundreds of women who have ruined their lives because of this go to complain?

Qin Jin didn't know why his mind was so excited, maybe the original Qin Jin still had a subtle influence on him subconsciously, and some specific people and things would make him pay special attention, such as when facing this situation, his usual calmness and rationality no longer worked.

At least, Qin Jin believes that revealing the facts of the case to the world will not necessarily shake the overall situation, as long as the relevant work is carried out in a timely and proper manner, these are not problems. On the contrary, the problem is that the more the court has to cover up, the more rumors will fly all over the sky and spread all over the city.

Let's ask, for a whole day today, there was such a big movement in the Wubenfang, and the smell of the corpse could be blown out for miles with the southwest wind.

At the time of the lantern, Qin Jin came to the main courtyard of the Qin Mansion. Since Jingzhao Mansion could not provide other houses, the women who had not yet been brought back by their families were gathered here.

After a brief round, an official came out of the backyard with his head down.

"Come here!"

Qin Jin called her. The maidservant, apparently not noticing that there was still a person standing in the darkness, was startled and screamed sharply.

After all, the smell of rotting corpses coming from next door, even if the government didn't say it explicitly, everyone secretly guessed the result, and it was not surprising that the reaction was so large.

"It's called, this is the general of the Shenwu Army!"

An attendant reprimanded the frightened servant. It was also Qin Jin's negligence, because it was just dark, he didn't order to lead the way with lantern torches.

But the official maid asked suspiciously, "You, are you human or ghost?"

Qin Jin laughed and said, "Naturally, you are human, you don't have to be afraid!"

In order to dispel the doubts of the female officials and maids, Qin Jin specially lit torches, and the firelight illuminated the entire courtyard.

"Now you believe it, right?"

The official maid patted her undulating chest at this time, "scared to death...... but then she froze on the spot as if she remembered something, pointed at Qin Jin and asked, "You, you are the lieutenant general of the Shenwu Army?"

Qin Jin nodded, and the official maid immediately panicked, and hurriedly saluted and pleaded guilty.

"If you were frightened first, what are you guilty of, get up quickly. ”

Qin Jin summoned this official maid to ask the women who were settled in the backyard how their mood was.

This official and maid seems to be quite extroverted, and once the fear passes, she becomes clever again.

"Those ladies are afraid of it, look at the words and deeds should come from everyone, just pity ......"

The officials and maids are not stupid, although the government did not explain the reason, but who can't guess the secret? However, when she realized that the kind person in front of her was the lieutenant general of the forbidden army, she realized that she had lost her words.

Qin Jin smiled and said, "I still know a lot. I came to ask you, I joined you and I was one of them, how do I want to settle you?"

In order not to frighten this clever and somewhat open-mouthed official and maid, Qin Jin had already used a tone that he thought was extremely kind. However, the other party obviously failed to appreciate Qin Jin's good intentions.

"The slave doesn't dare anymore, the slave knows it's wrong!"

begged for mercy repeatedly, but Qin Jin couldn't cry or laugh, and finally had to send her away.

At this time, Pei Jing heard the movement and rushed over with someone, and was relieved to see that it was Qin Jin in the courtyard.

Qin Jin's question had no result from the official maid, so he stuffed it to Pei Jing again.

Pei Jing frowned and said: "Zhonglang will be really difficult to be the last general, if the last will be them, it must be a family reunion!"

"Aren't you afraid of being discriminated against?"

Qin Jin asked, this is also a question he has been struggling with.

"I'm afraid, it's terrible, it's very rare to survive. The reason why those powerful families refused to come to claim it was because they had already announced their deaths, or they were implicated in the relationship between them, and they couldn't openly break their promises, otherwise the Duke of Xun and Princess Changshan's family wouldn't care about this?"

Pei Jing's words made Qin Jin suddenly feel that he was deeply influenced and educated in the 21st century, but he still couldn't get rid of the deeply imprinted Three Truths and Nine Spirits in his bones. It is now the Tang Dynasty, and the openness of women is no less than that of men, and the inherent concept of chastity since the Ming Dynasty has not yet taken shape at this time.

Therefore, Qin Jin thought that these women would be despised by the world, and perhaps he overestimated the matter.

And Wang Shou's opinions on the disposal of these women are nothing more than self-interest considerations, perhaps in his opinion, doing so is the best way to reduce his own troubles.

Qin Jin slapped Pei Jing's arrow, and immediately had an idea.

Without further ado, it is necessary to act overnight, when the lights are on, and there is a curfew in the city, which is also a good time to hide people's eyes and ears and make it easier to act.

Listening to Qin Jin's order, Pei Jing's mouth opened wide in surprise, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"Will Zhonglang think about it? If you do this, you will offend a large number of people......"

Qin Jin said: "Offended, it's too late for them to thank me!"

That night, Qin Jin arranged for the forbidden army to send the surviving women who were not brought back by their families to their homes one by one in a carriage according to the list. If there is a person who does not admit it, it is half a threat and scare, and the person is forced to be stuffed over, and then the janitor in charge of escorting it leaves.

After a night's work, only three of them were no longer in Chang'an because their families were no longer there

When Yang Guozhong took office early the next morning and came to Wubenfang to investigate the case, he heard that most of the women had been sent home, and he couldn't help but sink his face.

He had already been instructed by the Son of Heaven last night, and the key to this case was to control the spread of news, with such fanfare as Qin Jin, I was afraid that the city would be full of wind and rain at this time. However, after all, he is now guilty of meritorious service, but the temper of the head of the prime minister in the past can't be released, so he can only endure the fire temperament and ask Qin Jin:

"Have you ever asked for a saint's edict to do this?"

Qin Jin replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The reunion of relatives is the normal feeling of people, why use the edict of a saint!"

One sentence blocked Yang Guozhong speechless. I saw Yang Guozhong covering his nose, and it seemed that the stench of corpses in the air made him very sad.

"Okay, this case has been taken over by Yang by order, General Zhonglang, your people can be withdrawn!"

Qin Jin knew that Yang Guozhong was issuing an eviction order, but he also asked himself if he could touch Yang Guozhong's veins.

"The Son of Heaven originally intended to block the stable situation, if this move can stabilize the situation, why not do it?"

"Stabilize the situation?" Yang Guozhong didn't fight when it came to the stable situation, "Can this stabilize the situation?

"Xianggong is serious, as long as you deal with the law properly, there will be no chaos!"

Yang Guozhong was still patiently talking to Qin Jin, he wanted to see what kind of ivory could come out of the dog's mouth.

However, Qin Jin said very seriously: "The reason why rumors can spread widely in the market is that the government is secretive about the truth, but things in the world are generally like this, the more mysterious they are, the more people have to think about it." If the government can do the opposite and make all the details public, the rumors will not be completely eliminated, but there will be no breeding ground for them. ”

"Finished?"

Yang Guozhong snorted coldly. Qin Jin nodded.

"Since this is the case, please ask the people of the Shenwu Army to evacuate the Wubenfang, don't delay Yang's case!"

Qin Jin suddenly smiled and said, "Yang Xianggong may not know that Qin Mou has already ordered people to post notices everywhere early in the morning to announce the case." ”

"You!"

Yang Guozhong never imagined that Qin Jin would be so bold, and immediately felt like the world was spinning, if this opportunity was also ruined by Qin Jin, he would not want to be reused by the Son of Heaven in the future.

Under the emotion, the mouth and nose were unshielded, and the strong smell of corpses swarmed in.

"Wow!"

Yang Guozhong couldn't hold back any longer, he lay on the ground and vomited, and the osmanthus cake he had just eaten in the morning was vomited out with a sour and rotten taste.

"Yang Xianggong can cover his mouth and nose with wet wipes, so that the smell may be lighter!"

Seeing Qin Jin pretending to be concerned, Yang Guozhong felt even more disgusted, but he didn't eat much food in the morning, but he couldn't vomit anything anymore.

It took a long time for Yang Guozhong to get up with the support of his entourage, only to see him sigh.

"Tell me, what should you do to stabilize the situation?"

Yang Guozhong intuitively got on the thief ship, but if he didn't cooperate with Qin Jin, in case this guy picked up, how could he clean up the mess?

Qin Jin saw that Yang Guozhong was extremely cooperative, so he smiled and said:

"It's not appropriate to discuss matters here, so it's better to have the right and ask Yang Xianggong to come indoors to ......"

At the same time, Qin Jin led Yang Guozhong into Feng Ang's mansion and went to the main hall of the reception.

……

A shocking case spread all over Chang'an City overnight. The smell of the wind and smell of Wubenfang made all the nearby people uneasy. Just when people were secretly speculating, the government actually posted notices everywhere and began to explain the facts of the case.

Curious people crowded the market early in the morning to see what was going on.

Naturally, everyone remembered a name called Feng Ang, but few people knew that this Feng Ang had an inseparable relationship with the powerful eunuch Gao Lishi.

However, after all, paper can't contain the fire, and I don't know where the wind came from, before noon, the people of Manchang'an knew how deep this Feng Ang's background was. What is very unexpected is that the person in charge of this case is Yang Guozhong, who was previously dismissed.

A good show seems to be about to be staged. Both of them have been extremely popular, and both have been in power, so if these two people fight, there will always be one of them defeated and fleeing, right? At this point, people's attention to the fighting methods of the two big men has even exceeded the case itself.

In addition, people are still chewing on the story behind this horrific case, and of course, there are many imaginative extensions. It is said that the cause of this case was because Feng Ang did not open his eyes and kidnapped the maid of the Shenwu Army's Zhonglang General's family.

Shenwu Jun Zhonglang chased Shun Teng to Feng Ang's house, knowing that Feng Ang was Gao Lishi's nephew, but he was not afraid of the powerful and resolutely opened this appalling and shocking case.

Some people also questioned the basis of these stories, and there was not a single word of General Shenwu in the public announcement of the government.

However, there are also many people who are secretive about it, saying that the credit for cracking this case is too great, and Yang Guozhong is jealous of his ability, and it is common for him to rob others of the credit. This analysis was quickly recognized by people, who believed that Yang Guozhong could do such a thing.

At this time, Yang Guozhong didn't know that he was accused of jealousy by the people again, but he breathed a long sigh of relief. Finally, the situation in Chang'an City did not fall into panic because of the announcement of this horrific tragedy, and those relatives and magnates affected by this seemed to never mention the unfortunate things in their families.

None of the expected troubles happened, and it seems that this errand will be completed in a safe and secure manner. At the same time, Yang Guozhong couldn't help but secretly praise Qin Jin's suggestion. originally thought that he was going to take this opportunity to fall into the well again, but he didn't expect that this son's idea would help him by mistake.

However, Yang Guozhong will not forget his enmity with himself because of this incident, and this account will be repaid by Qin Jin sooner or later.
