Chapter 821: The Crime is Clear

If Shen Xi wants to pull Shang Yingkui off the horse, he must first cut off the bond between the political envoy and the commander of the envoy, and divide and disintegrate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

He had no intention of making a move on Chang Lan for the time being.

Although the status of the military general is low, but to hold the military power, involving local stability, Shen Xi has already mobilized the troops and horses of the capital division to Fuzhou, if Chang Langou jumps over the wall in a hurry, relying on the soldiers and horses led by Ma Ying, Shen Xi has no chance of winning.

After all, Fuzhou is Changlan's land.

And now, Shen Xi has won Chang Lan to his side, and Shang Yingkui is in a state of isolation, and Shen Xi has the victory.

As soon as Shen Xi waved his hand, soldiers on the left and right pressed Shang Yingkui to the ground again, Shang Yingkui struggled hard, and protested again and again: "What is Shen Zhongcheng doing here?" What qualifications do you have to restrict the personal liberty of your officer? ”

"Shang Fantai, don't worry, this official is just afraid that when you go in to check the criminal evidence, you will take the opportunity to slip away." Shen Xi responded with a smile, and asked people to carry a few boxes of account books, notebooks and other incriminating evidence into the main hall, and then to the back hall, Shen Xi immediately made a "please" gesture and said, "Everyone, how about going inside for inspection?" ”

Tao Yan and Chang Lan and their subordinates and entourages arrived in the inner room, and after opening the box, there were volumes of accounts and notes inside, and the things recorded were very detailed and complete.

Zi Qian has always been afraid that she will be abandoned after being used by Shang Yingkui and others, so she recorded every account very clearly. Master Lin was worried that he would become a scapegoat, so he recorded another one, and now these have become incriminating evidence against Shang Yingkui and the officials of the Political Envoy Department.

Tao Yan, Chang Lan and the officials of the Inspectorate rushed up to read it, and they all felt a chill in their backs for a while.

Shen Xi was able to find so much evidence of the crime, obviously it was not an overnight effort, then Shen Xi's visit to Fuzhou this time was obviously premeditated, but the people who set up the political envoy department despised Shen Xi very much, and actually took the initiative to send people to the official post to test it, Zi Qian was even more paralyzed and wanted to kill people and set fires, but he fell directly into Shen Xi's trap.

Jiang Liwei and Yu Niang went up and picked up a few account books to read, then glanced at each other, and began to mumble in their hearts...... It's not good to report back to the court now!

Shangguan asked them to persuade and restrain Shen Xi on the road, so that he would not make too much noise, but Shen Xi had not yet arrived in Wuzhou, the place of governance, and when he passed through Fuzhou, he took the Fujian political envoy Yamen and pulled a senior member from the second rank off the horse. On this trip, it is estimated that the people of the local yamen in the three provinces will be offended.

"Shen Zhongcheng, these incriminating evidence...... I'm afraid it can't be used as direct evidence. ”

Tao Yan looked at Shen Xi with a little regret on his face, obviously worried that he would not be able to convict Shang Yingkui based on these evidences alone.

You must know that the account books and notes are all the words of Zi Qian and her subordinates, if you can't find conclusive evidence of the crime, Shang Yingkui will continue to be at large, and everyone present will incur Shang Yingkui's revenge afterwards.

Shen Xi thought to himself, I have done everything to such a desperate point, even if there is no conclusive evidence of the crime, I will not let Shang Yingkui go, what are you worried about?

Shen Xi said with a smile: "Arrest the people involved in the case of the political envoy Si Yamen, interrogate them carefully, and then send someone to the mansion of the bribe-taker to see if some of the stolen money can be recovered." What do you think? ”

Chang Lan was afraid that Shen Xi would not even let go of his mansion, and when he was hesitating, Shen Xi added, "This matter seems to be quite tricky, it might as well be so, search the Yamen of the political envoy and the mansion of the criminal involved in the case, and hand it over to Chang Dushi and Ma Tongzhi to go together, how about it?" ”

Chang Lan had always been worried that Shen Xi would empty his power, and the more he didn't let him transfer troops, the more worried he was that Shen Xi would leave a back-up trick for him, and now Shen Xi arranged for him to go with Ma Ying to search the Yamen of the political envoy and the mansions of the officials involved in the case, which means that Shen Xi trusts him enough to treat him as his "own person".

"The last general will not fail in his mission."

After Chang Lan received the order, when he turned his back to Shen Xi, there was a look of fear on his face. If it is said that he is corrupt and perverts the law, he is no less than Shang Yingkui, but now he is a law enforcer, and Shang Yingkui has become a prisoner.

Chang Lan was just about to go out from the back hall, Shen Xi followed in a few steps, and said in a low voice: "Chang Dushi should know some private grievances between this official and Shang Yingkui, Chang Dushi, please rest assured, today's matter is over, no one will investigate it deeply." The official also relied on Chang Dushi to quell the local bandits and robbers, and was promoted as soon as possible. ”

The reason why Shen Xi wanted to say this to Chang Lan was to reassure him and convey such a message unmistakably: There is a personal feud between me and Shang Yingkui, not a public grudge, you don't have to worry that I will attack you, I still have to rely on you to do things, and work hard for me to become an official and a knight.

Chang Lan is a martial artist, and he doesn't think as much as Shen Xi, and when he heard Shen Xi's words full of "trust", his face was a little moved, and he said loudly: "The last general will serve Lord Shen to the death." ”

Shen Xi smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Chang Du Shi is serious, we have to live to make meritorious contributions, be promoted and make a fortune, and we don't have to die to die." However, Chang Dushi can't disappoint this official, otherwise...... In this rebellion in Fuzhou City, you and I will bear the responsibility. ”

Shen Xi gave a sweet jujube first, and now he immediately took out the big stick again to intimidate Chang Lan.

I show weakness in front of you, it doesn't mean that I am easy to speak, I can privately transfer troops and horses to Fuzhou City, if you don't help eradicate Shang Yingkui, then the people and horses on both sides of the Dusi and Xingdusi will fight, once there is a dead man's situation, you and I will be unlucky.

Chang Lan nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, my lord, the last general will know what to do." ”

With Chang Lan's promise, Shen Xi waved his hand and asked him to take people with Ma Ying to raid the Yamen of the Political Envoy Division.

Shen Xi stabilized Chang Lan, and turned his head to discuss with Tao Yan and other people who were in charge of the envoy how to play to the court.

“…… After arriving in Fuzhou, the official was assassinated by the local bandits, but fortunately he was spared the shelter of several people. ”

Shen Xi first set the nature of the incident, I didn't take the initiative to trouble Shang Yingkui, but unfortunately when I was passing through Fuzhou, I was set on fire and assassinated by local bandits, and I was forced to fight back.

Although Tao Yan is an upright old minister, he has been an official for many years, and he understands Shen Xi's words, and nods and says, "Everything is done according to Shen Zhongcheng's wishes." ”

Shen Xi smiled and nodded, it seemed that Tao Yan was not exactly an antique and knew how to work around. When he said this, he actually wanted Tao Yan and others to report to the court according to what he said, so that the tone of the two sides could be consistent.

Since Tao Yan had impeached the Fujian political envoy before, this time there was a minister of the Qin Mission, and the Yamen of the Imperial Envoy was played together, and the court was even more convinced that this was not a coincidental incident, but that Shang Yingkui and others had been corrupt and perverted the law for many years, because of an assassination, the scandal was completely exposed.

With the refuge of the three local departments and the yamen, it will be much easier for Shen Xi to take action against the political envoys again.

When Shen Xi, Tao Yan and the others came out of the inner hall, Shang Yingkui began to struggle hard, before he had figured out a lot of reasons to refute Shen Xi, and was about to say it with both prestige and prestige, Shen Xi just waved his hand lightly: "Escort the criminal Shang Yingkui to the prison cell of the priest and interrogate him strictly!" ”

"Shen Zhongcheng, you have no right to ...... Yes! ”

Before he finished speaking, Shen Xi went up and slapped Shang Yingkui in the face.

Shen Xi still smiled as before, like a smiling tiger: "Shang Yingkui, Fujian has been harmed by you a lot in the past few years, the people are not happy, the road is blocked, even the road to the imperial examination of scholars has been blocked by you, you are the black sheep of my Ming Dynasty." This official is now punishing such a criminal minister for Your Majesty, and giving justice to the world's soldiers! ”

Shang Yingkui was suddenly charged with blocking the way of speech and blocking the imperial examination of scholars, and his face suddenly turned as pale as paper.

Shen Xi's methods were extremely ruthless.

Shen Xi took down the local political envoy, and the court did not wait for any movement, and the local gentry and scholars would definitely stand up and speak in support of Shang Yingkui.

Scholars have always liked to stir up trouble, especially those who failed to make the list, Shang Yingkui originally planned to take advantage of the dissatisfaction of local readers in Fujian to Shen Xi, let them come out to attack Shen Xi and make things bigger. But now that Shen Xi has announced these two charges, neither the gentry nor the scholars will support the political envoys, but will applaud Shen Xi.

How dark is the Fujian Township Test, others don't know, Shen Xi, as Xie Yuan, who came out of the Township Test four years ago, is naturally very clear, not only Shen Xi is clear, but even those who read also know it, as long as Shen Xi puts the responsibility on the Yamen of the Political Envoy Division, those who read will immediately realize that most of the external curtain officials of the Township Examination are people from the Political Envoy Department, and they accept so many bribes on weekdays, and it is reasonable to say that they are still the chief envoys.

"Shen Xi Shaft...... You're so ruthless! ”

Shang Yingkui is also a scholar himself, so of course he knows the fate of angering readers.

These days, you can't get along with anyone, and don't get along with readers.

Shen Xi said with a smile: "As a Hanlin scholar, shouldn't this official be the master of the world?" Take this thief down! ”

There is no need to look at how much dirty silver has been traced, no matter how well Shang Yingkui hides the silver, he can be pulled off the horse by planting it. Shen Xi is now greatly helped by the Inspectorate and the Commander of the Envoy and the Commander of the Mission, occupying the commanding heights of public opinion, and Tao Yan, a famous minister who is quite prestigious among the people, is strongly supported, even if he uses the means of evil to control evil, it is also to show justice.

You still think that I honestly want to give you an open fight, but in fact, I am better at playing yin than you.

It's just that I didn't have power or power before, and I couldn't fight you. Now that I have more power than you, you still want to climb on my head to and pee, are you tired of it?

After escorting Shang Yingkui down, the officials of the Inspectorate said goodbye to Shen Xi and prepared to return to the yasho.

Shen Xi tidied up his clothes and was about to go to the official hall of the Imperial Envoy Department to interrogate the officials of the Political Envoy Department one by one.

Yu Niang came over and reminded: "Lord Shen, Shang Fantai has a strong background, and there are many princes and nobles in the court who support him, even if he is convicted, the court may only dismiss him at most, but your future will be greatly affected." ”

"Really?"

Shen Xi smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, but it's better to be convicted than not to be convicted." Also, who said it was just a dismissal? ”

In a word, it makes Yu Niang stunned.

Although she didn't know what Shen Xi was going to do next, she felt that the smile on Shen Xi's face was terrifying.

Shen Xi put so much effort into it, and even risked his life to go to Fuzhou in person, did he just let Shang Yingkui be dismissed?

Shen Xi was suddenly a little absent-minded: "The weather is good tonight, the cool breeze is blowing, it is rare to have such a cool night in summer." But it was that fire that didn't burn Zi Qian to death, it's a pity! ”

Only then did Yu Niang think that Zi Qian's teaching department also caught fire that night, and Shen Xi would not send officers and soldiers to set it on fire, it would be true.

Yu Niang asked, "Lord Shen has also arranged other manpower in the city?" ”

"Is there one? Ha ha. ”

Shen Xi smiled and teased, "The jade master said that there is, tonight is a sleepless night, the official is going to interrogate the prisoner, and the jade master must not leave an inch to ensure the safety of the official." ”
