Chapter 227 Wait and see
"Han Qian ......"
The courtyard door was knocked on by someone, and a crisp voice called Han Qian's name by name outside the courtyard.
The people in the courtyard all looked at each other, and they all looked at Han Qian at a loss, no one thought that Wang Wenqian's daughter was so persistent.
"Look at what I do, can I really kill Wang Jixiong's granddaughter and Wang Wenqian's daughter, or detain her and extort a sum of money from Chuzhou?" Han Qian asked with a big head.
"Lord Han, Wang Jun only asks you to remember the past and spare Uncle Yin's life." Wang Jun's voice came from the alley again.
"What bullshit?" Han Qian muttered quietly.
"Why don't they all be seized first?" Tian Cheng asked in a whisper, he could know that Han Qian did not have the intention of killing Yin Peng, but at present, it seemed that Feng Wenlan had only had contact with Yin Peng on the Chuzhou side.
Except for Yin Peng, there are no important people in Chuzhou in Jinling for the time being, and detaining Yin Peng can at least temporarily cut off Feng Wenlan's contact with Chuzhou; When Chuzhou reacts, everything here is a foregone conclusion.
They can't let Yin Peng go, and they can't let Miss Wang smash the door, in Tian Cheng's opinion, the best way is to detain Miss Wang as well.
"I heard that Lord Han and Miss Wang had a marriage contract, and if they were detained, wouldn't this good thing come to be?" Chun Thirteen Niang said ill-intentionedly.
Han Qian glared at Chun Thirteen Niang, who was talking coldly, and then motioned to Tian Cheng to loosen the ties for Yin Peng and the others.
"Really, just let it go?" Tian Cheng asked a little stunned.
"If you want to release people, let them go," Han Qian urged, and then stared at Yin Peng and said, "I hope that what you did tonight is just to fish in troubled waters, but I still have to say that the sacred heart is unpredictable, and you should go back and persuade your master to wait and see what happens, don't compete with us snipe mussels, and finally make the fisherman profitable." ”
Yin Peng couldn't believe that Han Qian really let them go so easily, and as he walked towards the front yard, he couldn't help but look back, as if he was worried that Han Qian would order his subordinates to shoot them in the next moment.
The scouts guarding the front yard also poked their heads over in confusion, and Han Qian waved their hands to signal them to open the courtyard door and let Yin Peng out.
The courtyard door suddenly opened, and I saw Wang Jun standing in front of the steps, and behind her stood a maid leading a horse, staring at the people in the courtyard with fear, so nervous that her little face turned pale, for fear that she would be macheted the next moment.
"Wang Jun is here to thank Lord Han for understanding the righteousness and sparing Uncle Yin's life." Wang Jun leaned in and said.
Wang Jun was wearing a dark green skirt, the skirt was torn, stained with mud, his elbows and arms were bruised, his sideburns were a little messy, and he looked very embarrassed.
Han Qian waved his hand and motioned for Wang Jun to lead Yin Peng and the others to leave quickly, saving him from regretting it when the time came.
Thinking of something again, Han Qian instructed Gao Shaodao: "You lead a team of people to escort them back to the Chuzhou Pavilion, don't let them be robbed and killed by others in the middle of the road, and finally frame us for it." ”
"Aren't you afraid that Yin Peng will send the news back to Chuzhou?" Tian Cheng asked with some confusion.
Although King Xin, Wang Wenqian and others may be out of reach for a while in Chuzhou, there must be a few ministers in the court, and it is King Xin's family, let Yin Peng leave, and the subsequent situation will be unpredictable.
"The sacred heart is unpredictable, Your Majesty didn't have a thunder rage today and directly put Feng Wenlan in prison, more I still want to see how much mud Feng Wenlan's radish can pull out, right? And today's situation is different from the past, even if Yin Peng sends the news back to Chuzhou, it doesn't matter, I think Chuzhou will probably not jump into this pit. Han Qian said indifferently.
The most important thing today is that Chun Shi Niang can't fall into the hands of others, and the real secrets of the Late Red Mansion can't be dug up, as for the rest, Han Qian didn't choose to wait and see.
The Jingxiang War, on the whole, caused a lot of losses to Great Chu, but the impact on the pattern of the Great Chu court was not completely bad.
Although Jingxiang was dilapidated, the local forces in Jingxiang suffered a bloodbath, which also made Jinling really control the Jingxiang region for the first time, and generals such as Du Chongtao and Zhang Ji also became more obedient to Emperor Tianyou.
Ma Xunsuo's troops and horses were defeated by the Liang army in the battle of Jingxiang, which also made Tanzhou more cautious and obedient, and the large-scale relocation of households would further weaken Tanzhou's strength.
This is a change in the situation in the west of Dachu.
As Emperor Tianyou's always worried about Shouzhou, not to mention the loss of troops in the Jingxiang War, and the loss of the southern territory of Caizhou, Xu Mingzhen also asked for guilt many times for this.
Although Xu Mingzhen's petition for guilt was too fake, this only showed the restrained posture of the Anning Palace and his cousin Xu.
Emperor Tianyou chose this time to attack the Feng family, obviously there were also considerations, after Chu Zhou knew about this, whether he would be involved or not, Han Qian was not very sure, but for the time being, what Emperor Tianyou wanted to do, he could still be satisfied.
When the horse's hooves gradually galloped into the distance, Han Qian said to Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang: "Feng Wenlan and Kong Zhou are worried about arousing the detection of my side, so they didn't send someone to Niliu Lane tonight to confirm the news, but if there is no news coming out, or Yin Peng never contacts them, they will definitely be uneasy." Maybe we can go to Changchun Garden now, and we can wait for the rabbit again. ”
…………
…………
Yin Peng fell into the trap set by Han Qian without any defense, and he was not alarmed, and it was only a very short time before he was captured and brought back to Lanting Lane.
Wang Jun broke into Lanting Lane at night and took Yin Peng and others away, which was not known to outsiders.
It's as if Jinling City is shrouded in a quiet night, and anything happens.
And now that Feng Wenlan has made his choice, Han Qian doesn't need to worry about them anymore, he didn't go to Changchun Garden to wait for him in the end, and even withdrew the spies who were eyeing the core figures of the Anning Palace such as Niu Gengru and Zhao Mingting.
Han Qian rushed to the county king's mansion early the next morning to explain what happened last night to the third prince Yang Yuanpu, Shen Lan, Zheng Hui and others.
Yang Yuanpu was naturally angry and annoyed when Feng Wenlan suddenly changed his mind and turned his head to find the second prince to cooperate, and immediately asked Han Qian to collect more evidence of the Feng family's crimes, so that he could continue to impeach Feng Wenlan and Kong Zhou.
Han Qian also arranged for Tian Cheng and Gao Shao to do these things, and after he left the county prince's mansion, he went out of the city directly, returned to Yandangji, and waited to see what was happening.
The case of the destruction of the mountain of the imperial tomb was the imperial history Zhang Han and the third prince Yang Yuanpu at the same time, the charges were light and serious, and after the Emperor Tianyou summoned Feng Wenlan to reprimand him, he did not directly hold Feng Wenlan accountable, nor did he hand over the case to the Yushitai for follow-up, but handed it over to Zongzheng Temple for investigation and punishment, and everything became confusing.
Generally speaking, Emperor Tianyou really wants to severely punish the Feng family, and he should hand over the case to Yushitai or Dali Temple for follow-up, and hand it over to Zongzheng Temple for investigation and punishment.
In the eyes of many people, this may be the Feng family's holy grace.
It's just that Zhang Han didn't want to let go of the Feng family, and after three days, he once again impeached Feng Wenlan and Kong Zhou for building a garden in Meitingbu for encroaching on people's land, and even did not hesitate to bribe Qi County and create unjust prisons, and the matter was further directly involved in Kong Zhou's head; The third prince, Yang Yuanpu, further participated in the destruction of the mountain by private logging, which caused more than 400 villagers to be affected by the disaster, and dozens of people drowned due to the disaster.
Emperor Tianyou summoned Feng Wenlan and Kong Zhou again to inquire about it, and this time Feng Wenlan and Kong Zhou were not able to walk out of the palace again, but were ordered to guard the Chongwen Hall and not enter and leave at will.
The next day, Emperor Tianyou issued an edict to recruit Zheng Chang into the court, awarded the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and at the same time impeached Feng Wenlan and Kong Zhou for privately attacking the emperor's mausoleum and creating unjust prisons, and detained them in Dali Temple for investigation and punishment, and Zheng Chang was responsible for presiding over his case.
At this time, many people came back to their senses and impeached Feng Wenlan, Kong Zhou, and their relatives for violating national discipline, and the charges were also varied.
On the third day of the ninth month, Han Qian went to the county prince's mansion, Feng Wenlan and Kong Zhou were impeached for 27 charges, in addition to privately cutting down and destroying tombs and encroaching on people's land, corruption and fraud, forming a party for personal gain, secretly hiding armor, and raising private soldiers are all serious crimes, and the impeachment is also issued to Dali Temple for correction as soon as possible.
Although Feng Wenyang and Kong Zhou were finally convicted, Emperor Tianyou may convene a privy council to discuss it, but it was always on the basis of Zheng Chang's impeachment as the young eunuch of Dali Temple.
Although yesterday the Feng family personally sent the tortured Guo Que'er back to Yandangji Manor with the intention of begging for mercy, but at this point, what else could Han Qian say, before directly rejecting Feng Mi from the court, he would not see it, and it was even more impossible for him to come forward at this time to suggest that Zheng Chang, who had just been recruited as the young eunuch of Dali Temple, do something about the Feng family's crimes.
In other words, all the charges of impeaching Feng Wenlan and Kong Zhou will be confirmed by Dali Temple, but they will be handed over to Emperor Tianyou to convene a privy council of princes and ministers to decide.
This is also the duty that Emperor Tianyou expects the courtiers below to do at this time.
On the sixth day of the ninth lunar month, Han Qian entered the city early in the morning to the county king's mansion, he talked to Shen Lan and Zheng Hui in the public hall, Wang Lin walked in with great excitement and said: "Your Majesty issued a decree, Feng Wenlan and Kong Zhou are convicted of rebellion, and they should be sentenced to behead according to the law of rebellion, and all the family property should be confiscated, and their relatives and henchmen will also be imprisoned and convicted by Dali Temple." ”
Han Qian had long expected that the Feng family would end like this, but thinking that he had been in Jinling for more than two years, in addition to Feng Yi and Kong Xirong being quite good friends and being able to drink and brag together, the main thing was to intrigue with the people of the Marquis of Xinchang's Mansion, and after thinking about it, there was no friend who could sit down and say a few words at will, and his mood was not good.
"Although Mr. Baishi is the chief judge, but the copying of the Feng family's family property in Beijing is sent by the three divisions of Yushitai, Dali Temple, and the Criminal Department, and the Feng family's family property in Xuanzhou, Runzhou and other places, it is the Dali Temple that sends officials to do it together with the state and county, and there is no way for us to do anything here." Wang Lin said with pity, still complaining that the Feng family was too ignorant of promotion, which made the county prince's mansion miss a good opportunity to intercept the Feng family's wealth and increase its power.
Shen Yang glanced at Wang Lin, but didn't say anything, Han Qian guessed that he probably regretted recommending Wang Lin to serve in the county king's mansion.
However, Wang Lin had previously impeached the Xu family for encroaching on the people's land, and he was quite a famous man, so he was also suppressed by the Anning Palace and the Xu family, and was demoted to a small official in the state capital.
Han Qian was not in the mood to stay in the public hall to listen to everyone discuss the Feng Wenlan case, and returned to Jinyun Tower to deal with the affairs accumulated in the past two days.
Although their workshops, warehouses and Linjiang money shops were separated from the Han family's private property, these matters were still under his jurisdiction, but Lin Haizheng was in charge of specific affairs.
At present, the power and financial resources of the county king's mansion have expanded a lot, and there is no need for radical expansion on the side of the Linjiang money shop.
As a result, the annual profit paid by the money shop is decreasing little by little, and whether it is a warehouse or a craftsman, it can pay an additional ten or two hundred thousand yuan of money and grain to the county king's mansion every month.
Compared with the financial resources controlled by the county king's mansion at this time, the extra money and grain of ten or two hundred thousand yuan per month seems very insignificant, but the craftsman also supports more than 500 Zuo Si and the children of the craftsman for the county king's mansion, which is quite considerable.
The tent government selected the guards to accompany them, or the Yongchun Palace replaced the previous officials in charge of the village, or the county king's mansion added a new dispatch, and this time a total of more than 100 children were recruited.
Of course, more importantly, many people, including the Three Princes themselves, have not yet realized that if the training model of the Craftsman Workshop and the Zuo Si disciples is formalized, or even further to create a formal academy, this will actually open up a new way for the Three Princes and the County Prince's Mansion to cultivate usable descendant forces.
Han Qian did not pierce this layer of window paper, on the one hand, Zuo Si is currently in his possession, and he previously concentrated Zuo Si's children under the name of the craftsman to teach words, craftsmanship, semi-military training and management, and it was he who single-handedly promoted it, and he pierced this layer of window paper, which is more likely to make him suspicious; On the other hand, the family would never want to see the children of the common people receive the same high-standard education and cultivation as the children of the family.
The final result of this will directly weaken the status of the family.
At least now, Han Qian doesn't want to be a leader and confront the big family.
Dealing with the affairs at hand, seeing that it was still early, Han Qian wanted to go out of the city and live in Yandang Jizhuang Courtyard again, but when he had just packed up his things and was about to ask Zhao Wuji and Xi Fa'er to lead the horse to accompany him out of the county king's mansion, Tian Cheng walked in, lowered his voice and said: "Feng Yi, Feng Yi, and Kong Xirong have already escaped from the city, and the three officials have searched the Feng family's mansion and shop in Beijing, but they have not found any trace of them. ”
