Chapter 565: A Shocking Case (26)
Song Zheng saw that the little emperor seemed impatient, and hurriedly persuaded, "First of all, we must get this big case done, the most fundamental principle is that the Ji family is plotting to rebel, and it must be uprooted (the latest chapter of the cohabitation demon). It is estimated that both the prime minister and the prince will agree. Secondly, it is best for the saint to put on a frame that wants to take all the salt works into his own hands and slowly loosen it. After many meetings, we will come up with our final thoughts, which is the method I just mentioned. Otherwise, the Ji family's salt farm will become something controlled by the military or Xiangye's side alone. ”
Xiao Ying smiled embarrassedly, "Master Song, I'm in too much of a hurry." ”
"The saint is dedicated to the public, and he can't wait to quickly bring the thief to justice and admire." Song Zheng said, looking at the little emperor, the two laughed at the same time.
Early the next morning, everyone discussed and decided to divide the troops into two routes, one was the military squire Dong Lan became the envoy of the Qincha, together with Yang Dong, the general of the city guard, and went straight to the Huaibei salt field to investigate the poison and salt case.
On the other hand, the squire of the criminal department went out without ji, the imperial guard Huang Yue, and the general of the capital guard, Han Kui, led the sergeant of the headquarters. Investigate the Ji family in Jiangning City, and deal with the matter of Lan Xiangming, the eunuch of the forbidden army prison, assisted by Huang Yue and Han Kui.
The composition of the entire team is also quite interesting. Dong Lancheng is a close confidant of Xiao Hui, and this time there was an accident in the army, and it is understandable for him to serve as the envoy of the Qincha (read the full text of the special forces in the flood wilderness). Qi Wuji is barely counted as Huang Yuandu. Yang Dong and Han Kui are the representatives of the City Guard Army and the Capital Guard Army respectively, as for adding Huang Yue to it, it is naturally Song Zheng's meaning. Huang Yue acted on behalf of the little emperor to plan for a share of the future business and trade bank, and also left a backup hand for the case to be handled into an iron case.
Of course, since the little emperor, Xiao Hui and Huang Yuandu reached an agreement, they naturally instructed their own people to be strictly and severely investigated and dealt with quickly. The time limit is also limited to one month, so as not to give the Ji family and everyone in Jiangnan time to prepare and fight back.
Although Huang Yue is a little short-tempered, he has the veteran Mu Yi to follow, and he will not disappoint.
Before the official departure of the Qin Mission, the Emperor sent a military order to let people rush to the Huainan East Road, and the local garrison camp immediately sealed the salt works, blocked the sea route, and cut off traffic. Take control of it first, and wait for the messenger to come.
The little emperor originally wanted to use Song Zheng, but Song Zheng refused. Right now, he has stepped into the nest of right and wrong. If you jump into the pit of the Ji family again, it will be even more difficult to deal with.
The Ji family had an accident, which shook the government and the opposition. From the poisoning of Guogong Xiaotong, to the simultaneous occurrence of the forbidden army, the capital guards, and the city guards, and then to the encirclement and handling of the household book, it was only a day and a night.
After the disappearance spread, the officials of the six departments of Daqi, the Yushitai, the Taiwei Mansion, and officials at all levels went up one after another, demanding that the masterminds behind the scenes be severely punished. The generals of the forbidden army, the city guards and the capital guards even wrote a series of letters, asking the court to uphold justice and connect the Ji family to the nine clans.
This case is too big, even if someone feels that this matter is strange, they don't dare to speak for the Ji family at this time. The little emperor was also furious, and he spoke clearly, this is a major case of rebellion. In the midst of the indignation, who dares to risk the world's condemnation at this time.
When Song Zheng returned to the Song Mansion, he didn't smile at all. Xiao Jun and Huang Yuandu's ears and eyes were beyond his expectations, making him always feel like he was being stared at.
On the other hand, if he hadn't known that he had operated the poisonous salt, he would definitely not have reacted so quickly, and took the opportunity to solve He Kuan, and poisoned so many people, making the case bigger.
Who would have told the cypress? Could it be that in addition to Ding Long, among the Song Mansion guards who trained by themselves, there were people who were unscrupulous?
Huang Yuandu's side actually clearly knew that he had saved Guo Xingjia (the latest chapter of Crazy Bodyguard). How hidden was he that night? Except for Xu Mingxuan, no one else knew about this at all. However, putting Guo Xingjia at the back door of Jiang's house was Xu Mingxuan's idea, and it stands to reason that it should not be Xu Mingxuan's doing.
If it wasn't leaked by Xu Mingxuan, it would only be the news leaked by Xiao Hui after he reported it.
And Huang Yuandu looked at himself with a deep meaning after the poisoned salt case became clear, and seemed to know that he was the initiator. How did he find out about this?
It was the Ji family who framed him this time, and Xiao Hui and Huang Yuandu were happy to see it. If he plotted against Xiao Hui or Huang Yuandu next time, or if he was on their side, he wouldn't have such good luck.
Thinking of this, Song Zheng broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and his face was still not good until he returned to the door.
"Brother Zheng." "Xiaolang." As soon as they entered the house, Lu Chun and Xiaobei surrounded them, their faces very excited.
"Come to my room and talk." Song Zheng's expression was cold, which made Lu Chun and Xiaobei's smiles immediately freeze.
After entering the door of his room, Song Zheng asked Ming'er to close the door and stare out the door. This made Lu Chun and Xiaobei very nervous.
"Brother Zheng, what's wrong?" Becky asked.
"It's nothing, from now on, we have to be careful in everything, and we can't reveal the slightest rumor about poisonous salt."
Lu Chun exclaimed, "Does anyone know that we did the case?" ”
Song Zheng shook his head, "It's impossible to judge now, but Xiao Hui and Huang Yuandu may have guessed it, and Xiao Hui even knows our detailed process." ”
"Huh?" Xiaobei and Pinchun both screamed (read the full text of the reverse punishment).
Song Zheng waved his hand and said his various inferences, as well as the current situation, Xiaobei and Lu Chun calmed down a little.
"Xiaolang, in this way, it's not that we did it seamlessly, but that the palace and the prime minister's mansion are happy to see it happen?"
Song Zheng nodded, "Although we didn't do so flawless in this matter, these two got the news so quickly, and Xiao Hui was even able to secretly cast a yin hand inside, then someone of us must have leaked the news." ”
Lu Chun muttered, "Except for a few of us and the guards in your mansion, no one else will know about the poisonous salt." The butler ship had sunk, and none of the shipwrights inside had escaped. And the people who are responsible for transporting 'grain' from the big turtle wharf to the warehouses of the trading house are all temporarily hired coolies, and they can't know what is going on inside. The operators of the big turtle pier stealing beams and changing pillars are all your favorite subordinates. I really can't think of anyone who leaked the news. ”
Song Zheng glanced at Lu Chun, although he felt that he was a little ruthless in sinking the boat and killing people, but it was undoubtedly the best way to keep it secret. From this point of view, it is impossible for Lu Chun, Xiaobei and Guan Chen to reveal the news, after all, they will inevitably be involved in an accident, not to mention that they will lose and prosper with themselves. Then the only possibility is that among the guards trained by himself, there are still people from the side of Xiao Hui or Huang Yuandu.
Ding Long is one, which has been dug up. The rest of the people have been carefully investigated by Hu Qiang, Zhu Jian and others, and they have not found any clues, so who did it?
Song Zheng sighed, "It seems that there is a problem with my guards." If I don't find out this matter, I'm sitting on pins and needles! ”
Xiaobei persuaded, "Brother Zheng, not necessarily. Maybe we didn't do it well and people noticed it. He knew how much effort Song Zheng had put into this group of people, and when he saw Song Zheng's lonely example, he felt a little unbearable.
Song Zheng shook his head, "You don't have to persuade me, I know it in my heart." It's just that I'm not sure who this person is, maybe it's one person, maybe two people, maybe even more. ”
"Xiaolang, if you ask them one by one and let them report each other, maybe you can find some clues (from civilians to tyrants Read the full text)." Lu Chun suggested.
Song Zheng waved his hand, "It's not the time yet, you can't startle the snake." By the way, in the case of poisoned salt, I am afraid that someone will track it down. Cai Yong's group of people, I plan to send them to the Shandong Road Trade Bank. Lu Chun, you find them an errand and let them hide on the other side of Shandong Road for a month, and then let them come back when the dust settles here. ”
"Oh, it's not hard. I happen to have some urgent things here, and I want to send them back to my hometown on Shandong Road. Together with the ministers, they will go back to Shandong Road first and avoid this rumor. ”
"Well, I'll arrange for them to be at your disposal. Send some men to watch over them for me. If you see something unusual, don't make a noise, come back and tell me, and I'll take care of it. ”
Lu Chun nodded, "Xiaolang, don't worry. ”
Xiaobei sighed, "I don't know how this poisoned salt case will be concluded in the end." ”
Song Zheng hesitated for a moment, and then said the countermeasures he had discussed with the little emperor.
Lu Chun pondered for a while, "We can also be regarded as a wedding dress for others, but in the end, we can also be regarded as reaping benefits, and the establishment of a branch of the commercial and trade bank is just around the corner." ”
Xiaobei also said, "Brother Zheng, you don't have to worry too much about those people under you, it's the fox who always shows his tail." This time, since both the palace and the prime minister's mansion have benefited, it will not be unfavorable to you, and everyone will be happy. If you have time in the future, just dig them out slowly. ”
Song Zheng nodded and sneered, "I'll figure out a way to do this." Someone has already shown their tails, and I want to see how many people they have ambushed around me! ”
Just when Song Zheng was worried, and Xiao Hui and Huang Yuandu were sharpening their knives, there was a beautiful scene in the Queen Mother's Palace.
In a sandalwood Buddhist hall in the Empress Dowager's Palace, Huang Jiao sat lazily on the bed, her face flushed, looking at the handsome monk standing on the chair and making wall paintings. The monk waved his head and painted a picture of a Buddha of joy: a male Venerable Lady wearing a Buddha crown sitting cross-legged with a petite woman in his arms. The woman had a delicate figure and a particularly plump hip. She wrapped her arms around the male venerable, and sat on her hips between the male venerable's crotch, her eyes blurred. The males looked solemn and solemn, and there was no confusion to be seen.
"Jingchen, you little bald donkey, why did you draw so well this time? It turns out that those men are all fierce and vicious. ”
Jingchen smiled and bowed, "Buddha has a thousand faces, doesn't the Queen Mother know?" ”
Huang Jiao smiled, "I don't know all kinds of faces, I just know that you are a little ghost, and you have a lot of tricks." ”
Jingchen grinned, pointed to the mural and said, "These tricks, I don't know which one Niangniang likes?" ”
Huang Jiao glanced at the entire wall, and her face was even more delicate, "I, I like it all!" The voice was loud, like that of a young girl.
"Then let's try this one today!" Jingchen finished the last stroke, jumped up, put the painting plate on the stool at will, came to the bedside, and touched it with both hands.
Unexpectedly, Huang Jiao suddenly stretched out a foot and kicked Jingchen's waist. The dust was caught off guard, and he fell down all at once, and his head hit the stool, and the painting plate with dye on it was buckled down, and the flowers were green, and they were scattered on the bald scoop.
Huang Jiao smiled again, "Hey, I've become a flower monk." ”
The cold light in Jingchen's eyes flashed, but he got up with a sigh, touched his head and cried out in pain.
"Good! Come here! Huang Jiao beckoned, and the pure dust sat down like a little daughter-in-law. Huang Jiao stretched out her hand and pulled over a piece of clothing and carefully wiped it clean for the dust.
Then, she lifted Jingchen's chin with one hand, "Little indignant, is it still painful?" ”~
