The people of Zhou Yanru's family looked at Zhou Yanru and stopped talking.

The tone he set, the black cauldron behind them is to carry it, such a harsh disposal will inevitably be settled by people in the future, especially the emperor!

You are so engaged in the clan, the emperor is young, and he will be pro-government in the future, but Zhang Juzheng's fate has been forgotten?

Li Hengbing saw that Zhang Heyi and the others were quite satisfied, and said indifferently: "What Yuanfu said is, however, the specific situation has to be tried by the three divisions, and it will be determined according to the facts of the case." ”

Zhou Yanru and his family turned to him with their eyes wide open, what do you mean, what else do you want? Isn't that enough?

Zhou Yanru raised the posture of the first assistant, his eyes were fierce, and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Li Hengbing said lightly: "Don't forget, there are still many rebels in the prison of the Criminal Department, but they are all surrendered thieves, real rebels, they definitely have no possibility of forgiveness, among them, there are three vassal kings, more than a dozen honorable ministers, and more than 20 high-ranking officials above the third grade." ”

Everyone was suddenly shocked, and then remembered that since Li Zicheng became a power, the general soldiers, governors, governors, vassal kings, and Beijing officials who surrendered after entering Beijing were innumerable, and most of them failed to escape, and were detained in the criminal department, and they had not had time to ask for their crimes.

If you add the rebellion caught by the bandits in various places, and the rebellion that was not caught after surrendering, and seriously investigate it, even if you don't engage in punishment, it will be extraordinary!

Not long after the recovery of the capital, there are too many things to do, and the Criminal Department has just been restored for a short time, and it is not possible to carry out large-scale and thorough investigation of these.

But when the trial of this 'Jinluan Palace's assassination case' is opened, it is impossible to set aside these previous cases alone.

Everyone twisted their eyebrows together, and a bunch of troublesome things got together, which was really tricky, not to mention that the Zheng Xibo family was clearly going to do something.

Zhou Yanru looked at Li Hengbing and said in a deep voice: "I don't care what you think, the new emperor has just succeeded to the throne, the thieves have not been destroyed, the world is stable, and the most important thing is to stabilize people's hearts!" You must not go too far, and you must do everything according to the cabinet, and you must not act in a proper way! ”

Li Hengbing bowed lightly and said, "The Criminal Department will act within the scope of its authority as much as possible and not cause trouble to Yuan Fu." ”

If someone else said this, Zhou Yanru might rest assured, Zhou Zhengyi, even if it was a military order, he would be suspicious!

Knowing that it is impossible to settle down with these people, Zhou Yanru said: "You will try it first, you can't decide, first play the cabinet and then decide, I will personally talk to Zheng Xibo in the evening." ”

The people of Zhou Zheng's family bowed down together, but they didn't take it seriously in their hearts. How to deal with this case, Zhou Zheng has already set the tone for them.

At this moment, Fan Wenjing rushed in in a hurry with a playbook, and walked straight to Zhou Yanru's side regardless of the occasion, and said in a low voice: "Yuanfu, look at this playbook." ”

Li Hengbing's face was expressionless, and he picked up the teacup beside him and drank tea.

Everyone's eyes were staring at the notebook in Zhou Yanru's hand, what was it that made Fan Wenjing rush in so rudely?

Zhou Yanru hurriedly opened, swept a glance, his face changed suddenly, and he looked up at Li Hengbing fiercely.

Li Hengbing took a sip of tea, his expression was always indifferent, he ignored Zhou Yanru's gaze, and calmly put down the teacup.

Zhang Sizhi looked at Zhou Yanru, glanced at Li Hengbing again, felt bad in his heart, and asked, "Yuanfu, what's wrong?" ”

Zhou Yanru stared at Li Hengbing, flashing sharply, and said lightly: "More than 30 vassal kings such as King Zhou, King Liao, and King Zhao jointly wrote a letter, saying, 'The difficulty of the society is the responsibility of the husband, and he is willing to donate the fiefdom of the palace, Yulu and all the people in the imperial court, and tide over the difficulties together'." ”

Everyone was stunned, and then their expressions changed, and they quickly turned their eyes to Li Hengbing, Zhang Heyi, Ma Shiying and other Zhou Zhengyi.

These vassal kings entered Beijing for 30,000 taels of money, and now they are actually willing to donate more than 200 years of 'ancestral property', worth tens of millions of inheritances to the imperial court?

They don't believe even if they see a ghost!

These vassal kings handed back their fiefdoms, nothing more than to save their lives, but even if these vassal kings were voluntary, it would be equivalent to the Ming Dynasty's clan becoming rootless and shaking the country's foundation, how could it be done?

Chen Yan was frightened, looked at Li Hengbing and said, "Li Shangshu, are these really voluntary by the vassal kings?" ”

Li Hengbing said indifferently: "The Criminal Department has never had any torture to extract confessions, and I have never been to the king's restaurant, whether it is voluntary or not, I don't know, if you have doubts, you can ask in person." ”

Everyone sneered in their hearts, Li Hengbing's words were simply a liar.

Now that all the kings are imprisoned, they will be killed at any time, and they will be killed at any time, and they will do this if they are guided by someone to protect themselves, so why do they need to torture to extract confessions?

Zhou Yanru and his family frowned after sneering, these feudal kings gave up their fiefs, what was Zhou Zheng's department thinking?

Zhang Sizhi, Chen Yan and others lacked confidence, Li Juesi asked: "What should I do now, these vassal kings want to give up their fiefdoms, so what do other vassal kings say?" Will the court agree or not? How to deal with it if you agree, and how to continue the case if you don't agree? ”

Zhou Yanru hated it in his heart, and he couldn't wait to throw out this position of first assistant and throw it to Zhou Zheng, so that Zhou Zhenglai could face his current situation!

He is also an extremely smart person, who doesn't know, Zhou Zheng clearly roasted him on the fire!

At this time, he forgot how to be the first assistant with a dead face, and he was fighting back and forth with Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Yanru suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Li Hengbing and said, "What are you going to do?" I don't want to listen to nonsense! ”

Li Hengbing's brows moved slightly, as if he sensed that this Shoufu was about to be unbearable, and said indifferently: "The lower official suggests that the imperial court accept it and recall all the vassal kings back to the capital." After all, now that the world is in turmoil, countless vassal kings are in trouble, and returning to the capital is conducive to the stability of the society. ”

No one believes such empty words.

Li Hengbing's words are very simple, that is, Zhou Zheng wants to take back all the fiefs of the vassal kings and move them back to the capital, which is not negotiable.

As for how many you kill, how many you kill, and how many you want to kill, you don't really care about it at all.

The crowd's brows tightened, and they fell into deep thought. Recall the vassal kings of the world, the imperial court will further lose control of the local area, and it will also damage the majesty and foundation of the royal family and shake the foundation of the country.

Zhou Yanru looked at Li Hengbing and the others, thinking in his heart, and said: "This matter, this official will order the Zongren Mansion to do it, write a detailed note, and before that, you don't move." ”

Li Hengbing's expression was indifferent, and he didn't know whether Zhou Yanru would accept or not.

Seeing that this matter was settled, Gao Hongtu interjected: "Zhou's ticket number is entrusted by Zheng Xibo to prepare to issue a kind of 'bandit suppression bond' in the near future, which will be guaranteed by the state treasury and half a profit, and raise five million taels of money from the world to suppress bandits. ”

When everyone listened, they were stunned for a moment, and then they were shocked.

Not to mention that there is no shortage of silver in Zhou's ticket number, why should the treasury guarantee this kind of bond?
