Chapter 135: Tempting the Enemy (Fourth Update)
The Yamen, the governor of Hangzhou, is undoubtedly the most delicate place now.
Governor Zhu Kun ordered a strict investigation of the arson case, but the efficiency of the government's investigation was not flattering.
After several days of tracking, I didn't even find the slightest clue.
However, this is really not the pot of Zheng Youhe, the prefect of Hangzhou, although the prefect Zheng is a neutral faction, but at least there is nothing wrong with respecting the instructions of the officials.
It can be said that Governor Zheng strictly implemented the orders of the Governor, but the people who did the specific things below deliberately delayed.
As for the reason, everyone knows it.
Zhu Kun naturally couldn't tolerate this, and repeatedly urged Governor Zheng to investigate with all his heart, and even used the power of the Prosecutor's Department to investigate the case.
It's just that the Zhejiang officialdom seems to have discussed it, and Zhu Kun's order is disobeyed, and the punishment is no exception.
The investigation of the arson case has stalled.
There is no doubt that they are all waiting, waiting for a result.
Either Zhu Kun is impeached and dismissed, or the saint tries to protect Zhu Kun.
There are only these two possibilities, and there is no third.
If it is the former, there is naturally no need to investigate the case again, and everyone is happy.
If it's the latter, it's a bit complicated.
In short, they are not in a hurry to take a stand.
Zhu Kun also saw it clearly.
These officials only have the black veil on their heads in their hearts, and they don't care about the Ming Dynasty and the livelihood of the people at all.
Just when he was heartbroken, the soldiers suddenly came to report that Xu Yan wanted to see him.
Zhu Kun ordered him to come in.
said that Xu Yan and Shen Mingchen walked into the hall one after another.
Xu Yan saw Zhu Kun's haggard face, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart. God knows what Zhu Kun has experienced during this time.
"Late to meet the minister."
Xu Yan gave Zhu Yan a deep salute and said in a deep voice: "Lord Ministry, this is Shen Mingchen, a late-born fellow countryman. He has admired adults for a long time and made a special trip to pay respects. ”
Xu Yan's words have been said very clearly, how can Zhu Yan not hear it.
He is here to introduce Shen Mingchen!
It's nothing, since it's a fellow villager who helps each other, it's also reasonable.
Shen Mingchen hurriedly saluted Zhu Kun and said, "I will see the Lord of the Ministry Hall in the evening." ”
The word late birth is not something that anyone can call it.
At least you have to be a well-known reader. Tong Sheng is not qualified.
Shen Mingchen is a talent, so there is naturally no problem with calling himself like this.
Zhu Kun bowed slightly, which was considered to be a response to Shen Mingchen.
"Sit down."
Zhu Jun raised his hand and nodded.
The two of them sat down cautiously.
Shen Mingchen said in his heart that Lord Governor really didn't have any arrogance at all, and he was even more approachable than he imagined.
"Lord Ministry, I heard that a fire suddenly broke out in the Hangzhou Mansion Prison and burned all the prisoners in the prison to death?"
Xu Yan got straight to the point and asked directly.
Zhu Kun nodded and sighed, "Not bad." Things are so strange that the official thinks that someone is demonstrating. ”
"Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by, these Southeast Sea merchants really don't even want face."
Xu Yan sneered and said, "Have you figured out how to deal with it?" ”
Zhu Kun shook his head: "This official ordered a strict investigation of this matter, but the officialdom in Zhejiang seems to have said it in advance, and the official's order is disobeyed, and the official's order cannot be implemented at all." ”
Xu Yan said in his heart, Zhu Kun, this is being set aside.
It's miserable!
If you think about it carefully, it is no wonder that Zhu Kun has now stabbed the hornet's nest, and there are countless smuggling maritime merchants in Fujian and Zhejiang who hate him. Most of the officials were also involved.
Even if some people are not involved in the smuggling of maritime merchants, most of them watch the fire from the other side and see the form first.
Xu Yan glanced at Shen Mingchen, who took a step forward and said, "Lord Qi Ministry, you have a plan for your later life." ”
Zhu Su sighed and nodded to signal Shen Mingchen to continue.
Although he didn't know Shen Mingchen, since he was recommended by Xu Yan, he would naturally not be bad.
"Your Excellency, you might as well let out the wind... So... So..."
Shen Mingchen said something to Zhu Kun, but Zhu Kun's eyes lit up.
"It's a brilliant idea."
"It's just that in this way, I have wronged the minister."
"It's nothing. As long as the real culprit behind the scenes can be found, it is nothing for the official to suffer some grievances. ”
Zhu Xuan and said.
...
...
Recently, there have been bizarre things in Hangzhou one after another.
First, the Hangzhou government prison was burned down, and then the governor fell ill with a strange disease.
The political envoys, the probationary envoys, and the envoys all commanded envoys to visit one after another.
However, the Governor said that the disease was contagious, and he politely refused to be visited by several of the dignitaries.
Therefore, in the entire city of Hangzhou, except for the confidants of the governor, no one knew what disease he had and what his illness had become.
For a while, rumors were spreading.
Some say that the governor was sick with smallpox, and some say that his old man was infected with the plague.
Some people even say that the Governor has contracted the flower willow disease.
In short, how to exaggerate and how to come.
What is even more strange is that the governor Yamen does not seem to have the intention of refuting the rumors, allowing the rumors to spread in the city of Hangzhou.
The officials of the pro-sea faction in Hangzhou were all overjoyed, but before they could exert their strength, Zhu Kun fell.
Now that Zhu Kun is in decline, where does he still have the energy to investigate any arson cases.
On the contrary, it gives the pro-sea faction an opportunity.
The so-called taking advantage of your illness will kill you.
Zhu Kun is already like this, and if they don't make a move, wouldn't it be too cowardly.
I'm afraid that even God can't stand it.
These officials were suppressed by Zhu Su on weekdays, but now they can finally raise their eyebrows once.
They had a secret meeting with the smugglers and maritime merchants, and formulated a thorough and detailed plan, preparing to completely overthrow Zhu Kun in one battle.
...
...
There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them.
Liu Jingqi didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.
At this juncture, Zhu Su actually fell ill.
What a godsend!
He immediately contacted the heads of the three major families of He, Lin, and Wu to discuss together.
Now the impeachment notes of each family have been sent to the Beijing Division. But it is like a mud cow into the sea, and there is no news.
There is no doubt that there are people in the DPRK who want to protect Zhu Kun.
At that time, Liu Jingqi did have a trace of hesitation.
But now he is firm in his faith.
If he didn't even dare to fight a sick man, what else was he doing in this business?
What's more, Zhu Kun offended not him alone, but the interests of the entire Fujian, Zhejiang and maritime business groups.
Now is the time to take his life.
...
...
"The fish looks like they're going to take the bait."
A light smile appeared on the corner of Xu Yan's mouth.
Shen Mingchen took a sip of tea on the side, and said leisurely: "These people still can't hold their breath." When he heard that the lord of the ministry was sick, he jumped out one by one. ”
"It's just a bunch of jumping clowns, just killing them all."
Xu Yan said lightly.
"I'd love to see what kind of crazy things they're going to do."
"It's not surprising that people die for money, birds die for food, and they do anything."
