Chapter 322: Complaint
After the man spoke, he pointed directly at the Lang official and said: "It's Liu Shilang, Liu Shilang gave twenty taels of silver, and asked the villain to destroy some of the land that had just been cultivated on the outskirts of the city, which was thousands of acres of land, and it was difficult for the villain to do it alone, and he found a few friends to finally complete it." ”
Xie Zhi found out that there was only an employment relationship between the two parties, and as for how much money was spent on hiring, it was unknown.
When I heard it today, Xie Zhi was not surprised.
Don't look at these people who shout that they don't have money on weekdays, if they spend it on themselves, then they will have money.
Xie Zhi glanced at the Lang official and said with a smile: "Liu Shilang has a lot of silver in his hand, Liu Shilang, what do you say?" I also brought you the evidence you wanted. ”
This evidence is indeed true, and this person's accusation is clear, and it is not clear that the details of the matter are clear.
If it were framed, it would not have been possible to do this detailed at all.
Until now, the squire had no intention of admitting the account, and said: "You brought the person, who can know that you are not framed?" ”
This waiter is also powerful enough, and he actually played Tai Chi with Xie Zhi.
Neither admit nor deny it.
Because of this, Xie Zhi is gone, Xie Zhi seems to be a very reasonable person, if he is unwilling to be reasonable, then there is no one to compare.
Xie Zhi waved his hand and said: "I don't have the leisure to quarrel with you like this, something is urgent, the most important thing in the court at the moment is like this, I would rather kill by mistake on this matter, and never let one go, since Liu Shilang is suspicious, no matter whether someone wronged Liu Shilang in this matter, Liu Shilang may have to be responsible for this matter, anyway, the court also needs a person to sacrifice the flag." ”
Now it is indeed necessary to do this, as long as there is a prob, then it must be pressed.
Before Liu Shilang could react, Xie Zhi said: "Take all the men of the Liu family to the Ministry of Agriculture, and the female dependents will detain the mansion, and no one will be allowed to contact them, and they will not be allowed to enter and leave at will." ”
Such an arrangement is equivalent to raiding the house.
The minister of copying the house needs the will of the court, and there is no clear will, even Jinyiwei does not dare to do anything about copying the house.
After Xie Zhi's order, Liu Shilang finally became anxious, and asked anxiously: "Do you have Your Majesty's will to do this?" ”
At this time, Xie Zhi had no time to ask for a decree again, and replied: "Why do you need to ask Your Majesty for a decree to arrest you, come and take them away." ”
The Ministry of Agriculture only knows the yamen of farming, where is the prison cell.
After Liu Shilang and his son were taken to the Ministry of Agriculture, they had to find a firewood room and detain them.
After taking Liu Shilang, Duan Qiwen finally spoke: "Master Hou, what should Liu Shilang do?" ”
Xie Zhi was not the one to kill, and he was not ready to click on that Liu Shilang.
Didn't Liu Shilang destroy some land? Just confiscate his property.
Xie Zhiman didn't care, didn't have the slightest worry, and replied: "This matter is also easy to say, and His Majesty asked for an order to copy that Liu Shilang's house, and it is enough to use the stolen silver to compensate for the loss of the thousand acres of land." ”
If you don't agree with each other, you will raid your home, and there will be such a play.
Duan Qiwen was a little stunned for a while, but Xie Zhi was calm, and replied: "On top of these things, you don't have to worry about it, you just need to do the spring ploughing thing well, and you can do other things by yourself." ”
Duan Qiwen lacked the tactfulness of being an official, so he couldn't get promoted for a long time.
Now Xie Zhi has single-handedly promoted him to the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, responsible for such an important matter as farming, and those things that are twisted and twisted in the officialdom, Xie Zhi will help him solve them all with one hand.
Although Xie Zhi was so confident, Duan Qiwen was still a little worried, and asked, "No problem, right?" ”
Duan Qiwen's worries Xie Zhi also understood, and replied categorically: "It's okay, someone can solve this matter, Your Majesty attaches great importance to the time of spring ploughing, and if someone destroys it, it must not be spared." ”
The previous Hongzhi Emperor may have been soft, but the current Hongzhi Emperor will never tolerate most things.
Just like Liu Shilang's incident, on the surface, it seems that Liu Shilang is only concerned about the land he sells, but in fact, everyone knows that Liu Shilang is challenging the decree that the imperial court is now implementing.
It is impossible for the imperial decree to stop halfway, and everything that the imperial court is doing now is developing in a good direction.
Emperor Hongzhi would certainly not tolerate those who engaged in sabotage in the middle.
Therefore, on top of this matter, Xie Zhi is not worried.
Because it was too late, Xie Zhi did not enter the palace immediately.
It was not until early in the morning of the second day that the palace gate was opened, and a large group of people looked for Emperor Hongji.
Originally, it was about to be an early dynasty, and Emperor Hongzhi was about to meet with the ministers.
But since some ministers were anxious to see him early, after Emperor Hongzhi put on his court clothes, he had to meet these ministers alone in the warm pavilion.
Before these ministers came, Emperor Hongzhi asked, "Xiao Banban, what are the so-called things about those ministers coming to see me early?" ”
Xiao Jing is in charge of the East Factory and the celebrant supervisor, who acts as the emperor's eyes and ears, and when the emperor has a question, he naturally has to be able to answer it immediately.
Xiao Jing replied: "The minister heard some rumors, and last night Xie Zhi led someone to raid the house of a waiter in the household department. ”
Emperor Hongzhi was a little surprised, and said for a while: "Raiding the house? I don't think I ever gave Xie Zhi this will. ”
Any decree of the emperor is through the celebrant of ceremonies.
Whether he has made a decree or not, Xiao Jing sometimes knows better than Emperor Hongzhi.
Xiao Jing shook his head and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty has not given Xie Zhi this will. ”
Emperor Hongzhi was stunned for a moment before he said, "What did the household servant do?" ”
Emperor Xie Zhi Hongzhi trusted, and Emperor Hongzhi also believed that Xie Zhi was not the kind of person who did nonsense, since he did it, there must be a reason.
Xiao Jing has served several generations of emperors, and he has always been loyal and trusted, and he originally had this confidence in front of Emperor Hongzhi, but since Xie Zhi appeared, this trust no longer exists.
Emperor Hongzhi's trust in Xie Zhi has been checked to exceed his trust in Zhu Houzhao.
This trust made Xiao Jing a little jealous.
But even if Xiao Jing is jealous, he is helpless, and he is so self-aware, he really can't compare to Xie Zhi.
To Emperor Hongzhi's question, Xiao Jing replied truthfully: "It should be the destruction of the land on the outskirts of Beijing. ”
Emperor Hongzhi had already heard about this, and since Xie Zhi didn't ask him for help, Emperor Hongzhi didn't ask in detail.
He has confidence in Xie Zhi, and he believes that Xie Zhi can solve this matter.
Emperor Hongzhi replied: "This is the case..."
Xiao Jing wanted to wait for Emperor Hongzhi to say the next sentence, so as to grasp some weather vanes more truly, but he didn't expect that Emperor Hongzhi didn't open his mouth when he was halfway through.
After a moment's effort, the ministers who came to find Emperor Hongzhi appeared in the warm pavilion.
There were more than a dozen of them, and as soon as they entered the door, they fell down.
In the Ming Dynasty, unless there was a formal court meeting, ministers did not need to kneel down to see the emperor in private.
Emperor Hongzhi knew the reason why these ministers came to him in advance, and he was not surprised, and asked indifferently: "It's going to be an early court soon, what is the so-called thing about coming early?" ”
Someone took the lead and took the lead in speaking: "Then Xie Zhi led someone to raid Liu Shilang's house last night." ”
Emperor Hongzhi held the teacup and said lightly: "Why? ”
The ministers looked at each other, what did this mean?
Could it be that Emperor Hongzhi knew about Xie Zhi's family early on.
These ministers have doubts, but this time has come, and no matter what, it must be said.
The minister replied: "Xie Zhi suspects that Liu Shilang destroyed those fields outside Beijing. ”
Emperor Hongzhi was still calm and asked, "Xie Zhike found evidence?" ”
The minister replied: "I heard that a person was arrested from the Qinglou. ”
Emperor Hongzhi said: "So you already have a human certificate?" If this is the case, then Liu Shilang really destroyed Natian. ”
Those ministers were a little confused, were they talking about who destroyed the land now?
Shouldn't the crux of the problem be that Xie Zhi has no will?
