Chapter 132: Interrogation of Uncle Guo
The Jinyi Wei Yamen is in the northwest of the imperial city, a little away from the Wei Mansion, and the one who came to call me was a civil servant, and the horseback riding skills were not very good, especially in the streets where there were all people, so we didn't walk fast, and it took half an hour to arrive at the Jinyi Wei Yamen.
There are five or six sedan chairs parked at the door, and there are a lot of horses tied to them, and there are a few guards with knives at the door, seeing that I am coming, I came quickly, I saw that it was an acquaintance who was the gatekeeper Lin Dahu who asked me to treat me last time, Lin Dahu was the imperial guard, it seems that it was to protect a few cabinet bigwigs, Lin Dahu pulled the reins of my horse, I got off the horse, and said to Lin Dahu: "Why is Brother Lin here, I have never had a chance to invite you to drink last time." ”
Lin Dahu was very polite now, and arched his hand and said: "Brother Lan, you're welcome, I'll talk about it after drinking, Lord Xu asked me to wait for you at the door, saying that you are here and let you in immediately." ”
I threw the horse to Lin Dahu, no matter which guy went to call me, I quickly stepped into the yard, the Jinyi Wei Yamen is also a courtyard, but it is much larger than our home, the east and west wings, the main hall has also made the yamen, and the backyard, I came to the door of the main hall and stopped, because I was not rumored so I didn't dare to rush in, just waited at the door, a doorman at the door who seemed to be a messenger saw me coming, and shouted vigorously: "Lan Yunjie was ordered to come to the outside of the hall to wait for the pass." “
Someone inside said: "Chuan Lan Yunjie has come to see you." ”
I now have my heart up and down, I don't know what is going on inside them, and I don't know if Uncle Zhang Guo is here, so I have to bite the bullet into the lobby, this is the first time I have officially entered the lobby of a yamen, there are many people sitting in the lobby, and there are more than a dozen people kneeling there, I came to the middle, and saw several civil officials sitting on it, among which Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong are I know, and there is another I don't know, but the person is sitting in the middle, it is estimated that it is the first assistant Xu Jie, my cheap father and a person wearing a three-grade military attache uniform sit at the bottom of the head, Zhang Qianhu also stood aside.
I bowed to it and said, "Xiaguan Lan Yunjie is ordered to come. ”
Before Xu Jie could speak, Zhang Juzheng spoke: "Lan Yunjie called you here this time because you brought the prince and princess out, and the assassination incident you encountered in the Wei Mansion has now been transferred, but Uncle Zhang Guo hasn't come over yet, you stand aside first, and we will interrogate next." ”
I came to Zhang Qianhu and stood down, only to hear Zhang Juzheng continue to ask the people kneeling below: "You confirm that it is the housekeeper of Uncle Zhang Guo's family who asked you to go, and you must be recruited from the truth." ”
I don't know how Zhang Qianhu got it, so the group of people below said in unison: "It was Steward Zhang who asked us to go, and he said that we would give each of us two thousand taels of silver, and let us kill the prince and the princess, and the master of the prince should also be killed together." ”
After Zhang Juzheng asked them to sign and draw, he escorted a group of people down, and Zhang Juzheng turned his love on my side and asked: "Lord Lan, do you have any grudges with that Uncle Zhang, why did Uncle Zhang want to assassinate you." ”
I replied with an innocent face: "Lord Zhang, Uncle Zhang and I have no grudges yesterday and no enmity today. As for why he couldn't get along with me, I don't know, or the official was a master for the princess and the prince, and he didn't know where he offended Zhang Guifei, so Uncle Guo was angry, so that he wanted to put the official to death. ”
At this time, I will drag Uncle Zhang's backstage Zhang Guifei into the water, if I don't move her down, maybe one day I will lose money, just come to a ruthless one, that Uncle Zhang is too not a thing, I have been troubled again and again, I haven't seen such a person.
Zhang Juzheng said again: "Okay, is there a feud, let's talk about this when Uncle Zhang Guo comes, you can step aside first." ”
After a while, a few Jinyi Wei's horsemen brought Uncle Zhang Guo, who was still arrogant when he first entered the door, and saw that several bigwigs in the cabinet were there, and then looked at a group of people kneeling on the ground, and it was also a little hairy, don't look at it as a national uncle, it is okay to scare the grass people and small officials, in the eyes of the cabinet bosses, he is a bedbug, there are fifty or sixty uncles like him in the capital, and now Zhang Guifei has also fallen out of favor, and the cabinet bosses know it, so they don't take him seriously, he hasn't had time to see how many people are below.
I heard Zhang Juzheng shouting: "Someone is here to report your name." ”
Uncle Zhang Guo said hesitantly: "I, Uncle Zhang Guo, see a few adults, dare to ask a few adults why I came." ”
Zhang Juzheng slapped the startled wood and shouted loudly: "What Uncle Zhang Guo, report your name, do you have any fame, kneel down for me if you don't have fame." ”
The current Uncle Zhang Guo is involved in the assassination of the prince, and no one dares to excuse him, let alone intercede for him, and several cabinet adults did not speak, watching Zhang Ju training Uncle Zhang Guo.
Uncle Zhang Guo's attitude towards Zhang Juzheng was not very good, and he was also weak-hearted. He knelt down with trembling legs, and said in a trembling voice: "The grass people can't afford to see your lords." “
"I can't afford to let you assassinate the prince in the case, the emperor ordered us to come and interrogate you, tell the truth, maybe the emperor can let you go, if you don't recruit from the truth, I'm afraid the consequences will not be easy to clean up."
