Chapter Eighty-Three: Is This the End?
Unlike Chang Yu to gnaw hard bones, he has to go through all kinds of means, even coaxing, deception and scare, Wu Mengming and Tang Potian's methods are straightforward and simple, when they get to the house, they first seal the door and then enter the house to search and arrest, and if they find that there is a sergeant, they immediately take people, and don't say a word of nonsense, because they are only responsible for arresting people, and Chang Yu, an expert, will do the money.
Of course, if you can't find someone, you should quickly sue for a crime and slip away.
But there are very few such things in the air, why?
Because the military positions of the Ming Dynasty were generally hereditary, especially in the middle and upper classes, those who were self-made and promoted by military merit were very rare, and the honors and nobles had military positions in the army, large and small.
Corruption is contagious, and to put it simply, there are few innocent people at all.
Seeing Chang Yu's carriage coming, Wu Mengming and Tang Potian hurriedly leaned over, the two of them returned to the imperial city one step earlier after completing the task, but they couldn't enter the palace without Chang Yu's ability, so they had to wait here.
As a result, Wu Mengming handed over the list, Chang Yu couldn't help frowning, Sangong was arrested by two, the number of people was as he expected, but there was a small gap in people.
Zhu Chunchen was not on the list, that is to say, he didn't catch his handle, and the plan to knock on another stroke was in vain, thinking about it, Zhu Chunchen is actually a civil servant, and he was responsible for compiling books before, and on the night of Chongzhen's death, Chongzhen left an order for Zhu Chunchen to be responsible for leading the Chinese and foreign armies to assist the prince, but the holy decree Lao Zhu didn't have a chance to see it, and the city was caught.
Xu Yunzhen is on the list, which is expected by Chang Yu, after all, this product also has a military position, and this old fritter was careful not to squeeze him much oil and water when he gambled on silver, this time, hehe.
But when he saw the name of the British public Zhang Shize, Chang Yu still had a toothache, why?
Because the British Duke is really loyal and low-key, and he is the highest hereditary duke of the Ming Dynasty, even when Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian were in power, none of the people in the court knelt down and licked and shouted godfather, but people didn't bird these two goods at all, and although Liu Wei was in power at that time, he didn't dare to touch the British Duke at all, and let his family be stable.
It's just that he was caught by Chang Yu this time, what should I do, in fact, he also has a toothache.
I scanned the list again, and after a rough plan, two dukes, seven marquis and six uncles, some of them are ripping off the bamboo today.
As the emperor's personal soldiers, the Jinyi Guard had a remarkable status, and even the Yamen was not scattered in the alleys of the capital city like other personal guards, but the west side of the Chengtianmen Thousand Steps Corridor near the imperial city was adjacent to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies (now the area of the RM Great Hall)
The Yamen is divided into north and south, and in simple terms, the North Town Fu Division is a one-stop service specializing in the Imperial Prison (Emperor's Decreed Case) from interrogation, arrest, execution, and execution, and it is no better than going through the general judicial institutions (three divisions)
The Nanzhen Fusi is equivalent to the functions of the Commission for Discipline Inspection.
The edict prison is also the so-called heavenly prison among the people, and the identity that can come in is not ordinary, and the probability of coming in and wanting to get out safely is also pitiful, so it makes people feel frightened.
Except for Li Guojiao, who was placed under house arrest in the Prince's Mansion, the rest were all detained in the edict prison of Fusi in Beizhen, and even Zhou Kui, the national abbot, was no exception.
It was nearly ten o'clock in the evening, the Jinyi Guard Yamen was brightly lit and heavily guarded, and everyone knew that tonight was too unusual.
Chang Yu drank a pot of tea silently in the lobby of the yamen, and Wu Mengming accompanied him silently.
"Father-in-law Chang, it's not too early" Wu Mengming reminded beside him, he was a little anxious, why didn't he interrogate him, more than a dozen people were going to turn down, and the sky was about to dawn.
Chang Yu raised his head, glanced at him, and nodded: "You can start."
"Father-in-law Chang, please" Wu Mengming exhaled and got up.
Chang Yu shook his head lightly: "Right here, bring the British Duke over first."
Wu Mengming was slightly stunned, but he didn't say anything, and then waved his hand to let his subordinates lift people.
British Gong Zhang Shize, middle-aged in his forties, Chang Yu has never met him, but he knows that he has played in the palace, and he has won a little.
Zhang Shize stood proudly in the middle of the lobby with a calm face, looking at Chang Yu sitting in the middle of the room, there was still a trace of anger inadvertently flowing between his eyebrows, presumably scolding eunuchs and eunuchs in his heart.
Chang Yu didn't even get up, he slowly sipped the teacup in his hand, his eyes were also looking at Zhang Shize as if he were nothing, but he was filled with emotion in his heart, thinking about these noble ancestors a hundred years ago, which one of them was not a hero, and now they are all mediocre talents waiting for death, and it can even be said that they and those vassal kings have become national moths, so many nobles even if there are a few more responsible like Mu Tianbo, Daming will not die after Chongzhen's death.
"One hundred thousand taels is a lot" The two looked at each other for a while, Chang Yu broke the silence and said lightly.
Zhang Shize's expression didn't change much, just a little more smile, but he didn't speak, he still looked at Chang Yu like that, he didn't speak, maybe he thought this eunuch was as ridiculous as what he said.
"Guozhang Zhou Kui has already handed it over!" Chang Yu ignored his mockery, and this sentence immediately made Zhang Shize's face change.
After all, Zhou Kui's identity and Zhou Kui's coercive personality are well known, and even he has handed him over, so the matter is by no means simple.
Zhang Shize's face changed and changed, he was silent, Chang Yu was not in a hurry, and continued to drink his tea, Wu Mengming was still watching with expressionless cold eyes, for him, there was only money in his eyes, and he didn't care about anything else.
"The emperor is not afraid of provoking criticism from the government and the opposition, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to block the mouth of Youyou" Zhang Shize is an old fritter after all, and after pondering for a while, he should figure it out.
"Put you m p!" Chang Yu slapped the table heavily, and Wu Mengming next to him trembled.
"Whoever provokes criticism, who blocks the mouth, you and others violate the law and discipline, use public weapons for private purposes, bend the law for personal gain, the emperor investigates and deals with it according to law, it is not possible to make a mistake in the investigation, is it possible to send you a merit archway, and give an order to encourage you to be a traitor" Chang Yu got up and scolded angrily!
Zhang Shize's face was pale, and he was speechless, this eunuch dared to scold himself with such vulgar words.
"The emperor remembered that you waited for meritorious service before punishing the silver for the crime, but the wolf heart and dog lungs shamelessly said that the emperor is not, okay, if you don't want to replace the crime with punishment, our family will investigate and deal with you with the law, you should know the means of Jinyiwei, and if you don't sit in prison, our family will lose!" Chang Yu said and threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, and shouted: "Someone will be sent down to be punished, and our family will be tortured to see if there are any other things to commit adultery."
"It's an adult" A few big men in brocade clothes, clenching their fists, are about to press Zhang Shize down.
"Slow" Zhang Shize shouted: "After I am meritorious, I will hold the first emperor to avoid death......"
"No, don't let your mother be big, our family only said torture, and didn't say kill you" Chang Yu scolded, then approached Zhang Shize's side and sneered and whispered: "You also know that those death-free iron rolls were given by the first emperor, figure out that it is the first emperor!" Besides, has that thing ever worked throughout the ages? ”
Zhang Shize was dumbfounded, Chang Yu sneered and returned to his seat, and Wu Mengming hurriedly helped him pour tea again.
"Did the national master really hand it over?" Zhang Shize's face was not dead.
Hmph, Chang Yu sneered: "Take him to see the national abbot, let the two of them have a good chat!" ”
Zhang Shize was taken down, Chang Yu exhaled a long breath, and Wu Mengming beside him looked at him confused: "Father-in-law Chang, who is next?" ”
"What's next," Chang Yu smiled.
"Huh? That's it? Wu Mengming was stunned: "Others didn't mention it?" ”
"Ming'er is waiting for the cashier" Chang Yu stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, Wu Mengming frowned for a while before reacting, and hugged his fist at Chang Yu with a look of admiration: "Obey, Chang Gonggong is amazing"
Chang Yu got up with a smile and left, he didn't need to stay, a royal relative, a noble head, these two people were taken care of, and the others didn't even dare to let go of a p, and the rest of the affairs of the palace were left to Wu Mengming to deal with, and he wanted to enter the palace to enjoy the prince's performance, so he hadn't been to see the scene for a long time.
