Chapter 77: He Jin's Meritorious Service (Second Update)
Chapter Seventy-Seven: He Jin's Meritorious Service (Second Update)
From outside the courtyard walked in two Han army generals in full armor, the one in the back was younger, thin and beardless, and the other in front was short and strong, with a beard.
The two men walked quickly to the two mysterious people who were surrounded. Humpty Dumpty opened his mouth and asked, "Dare to ask, but the strong man was sent by the lord?" β
When the tiger-faced man saw the visitor, he didn't dare to hold it up, and bowed slightly, "Don't dare, I've seen Lord He, my lord sent me here to give Lord He a big gift." β
"This person is Ma Yuanyi, and the people in the front yard are all his subordinates, and the specific situation must have been mentioned by Lord Li and you, and these boxes are also their evidence. Since Master He has already come, he will retire next. After speaking, he kicked several wooden boxes behind him to Ma Yuanyi's side.
Then he said to the man, clasped his hands into fists, gave a slight salute, turned around, jumped on the roof in a dashing manner, and left through the back door.
The young man behind Master He leaned forward, "Brother, they are Lu... Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lord He stretching out his hand,
"Don't hide his name in front of people, our alliance is still a secret, hehe, he gave you and my brother a big gift, with these things, you and my brother will soar and go to the next level, just today."
"Second brother, don't worry, this time I will let my little sister say a few more good words for you in the emperor's ear, the head of the credit, brother, I will also let you, I will make you a big official, the day of you and my brother will be extremely popular is not far away."
These two are the leaders of the current foreign relatives faction, Henan Yin He Jin, his brother He Miao, this time He Jin suddenly received a letter from Lu Bu personally sent by Li Su.
In the letter, Lu Bu first expressed his goodwill to make an alliance with He Jin, and then told He Jin that as a gift for the two sides to form an alliance, Li Su asked Li Su to help He Jin arrest Ma Yuanyi, the divine envoy of Taiping Dao, and provided evidence that Ma Yuanyi colluded with the eunuchs in the palace inside and outside to plot an incident.
However, Lu Bu also suggested that it was best for Empress He to hand over the evidence directly to the emperor, and there was no need to report all the ten permanent servants together and force them to a dead end, as long as the emperor knew that these eunuchs were involved in this matter.
But for the Taiping Dao party, it can be arrested and cleared with great fanfare, as for Ma Yuanyi who knows too much, it is better to be executed as soon as possible, and there is no need to let him speak. Such a great achievement, sent to He Jin, is enough to express Lu Bu's sincerity in forming an alliance with him.
As Henan Yin, He Jin naturally knew Li Su's identity for a long time, and knew that he was Lu Bu's henchman, who was responsible for investigating all kinds of news in Luoyang, and operated many restaurants, brothels, tea shops, and casinos as cover.
However, "well water does not interfere with river water", and he has always turned a blind eye. This time, Lu Bu was willing to take the initiative to form an alliance with He Jin, which made He Jin very satisfied, after all, although He Jin is now the uncle of the country and the head of his relatives, he can only live in Yin, Henan.
Lu Bu and Ding Yuan's father and son have repeatedly made great contributions, and they are prominent people, and they are celebrities in front of the emperor, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are vying to make friends with them. Before, he was worried that their father and son had too close a relationship with the Ten Standing Servants and the party, which was not good for him.
Now that Lu Bu has taken the initiative to form an alliance with himself, it seems that he is also optimistic about his own side and makes investments as soon as possible. Although He Jin was born as a butcher in Nanyang, after all, he also studied under Yang Ci, the great Confucian of the Hongnong Yang family, so naturally he would not be a straw bale.
He Jin had long wanted to lead the feudal officials like Lu Bu and Ding Yuan, but the real power figures thought that foreign aid was an instant hit. He made a covenant with Li Su, and exchanged tokens with LΓΌ Bu, and exchanged letters.
Today I got the news from Li Su, saying that his subordinates will arrest Ma Yuanyi in an alley in Luoyang City, if it fails, He Jin does not have to come forward, if it is successful, he has his own fireworks, He Jin can make a big fanfare, arrest the key criminals, and someone will hand over Ma Yuanyi to He Jin.
Now that I look at it, Li Suguo has not broken his promise, and the human and physical evidence is conclusive, it seems that Lu Bu is sincerely allied with himself, and it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. Lu Bu gave himself a fortune, and he couldn't forget the benefits of Lu Bu, at least in the future, Li Su would act in the future, and he could give more convenience.
He Jin ordered Ma Yuanyi to be escorted down, found a doctor to take care of him, and asked his soldiers to retreat to the front yard, leaving only He Jin and He Miao brothers in the backyard.
The two stepped forward to open a few wooden boxes, only to see that the boxes were full of gold, silver and jewelry, which Ma Yuanyi used to buy officials of all sizes in Luoyang City. Of course, the most valuable part has been taken away by Li Su's men, and their eyes are professionally trained.
There are more than a dozen letters in the box, He Jin opened them one by one, all of them were important members in the capital who received bribes from Ma Yuanyi, including Feng Zhen, Xu Feng, the two of them had the closest contact with Ma Yuanyi, and they also saw a letter, which turned out to be Zhang Rang's.
He Jin was like a treasure, and after some consideration, He Jin picked out all the eunuchs in the letter, and prepared to let his sister directly dedicate it to the emperor, but it was not made public.
The remaining letters and a box of belongings were brought back as evidence of the crime, and He Jin planned to hand over these evidences, including Ma Yuanyi, to his immediate boss, the new captain of Sili, Lord Sima Fang. As for the other boxes, what boxes? I didn't see it.
His Majesty the Emperor soon received the letters handed over to him by Empress He, and after reading these letters, Liu Hong was so angry that he trembled, he didn't expect that he trusted these eunuchs who grew up with him so much, but they betrayed themselves together.
Liu Hong was so angry that he wanted to execute all the eunuchs involved in it to relieve the hatred in his heart.
The ten permanent servants led by Zhang Rang had already learned about Empress He's letter to the emperor through the eyes of the emperor's side, and after some discussion, let Feng Zhen and Xu Feng commit suicide and promised to treat their families well, while Zhang Rang made people hurry to see the emperor.
As soon as he saw Liu Hong, Zhang Rang cried and complained about his grievances, saying that Feng Zhen and Xu Feng were bold and ungrateful, colluded with Ma Yuanyi, conspired to rebel, and how he was deceived...
Hearing that the first offender Feng Zhen and Xu Feng had committed suicide, Zhang Rang and others wept bitterly, Liu Hong was soft-hearted, and just ordered Sima Fang, the lieutenant of Si Li, to investigate the matter strictly, and heard that it was the conspiracy found out by the He Jin brothers and caught Ma Yuanyi, Liu Hong was very happy.
Liu Hong said to Queen He that his family is still reliable and can do things at ease. Subsequently, Jin Feng He Jin was the Marquis of Shen, and Henan Yin also led the Yulin Zhonglang General, in charge of the Yulin Army.
Sima Fang, the lieutenant of Sili, received Ma Yuanyi, letters and property and other witnesses and exhibits handed over by He Jin, and then received a holy decree from Emperor Ling of Han to let him strictly investigate the matter.
So he personally interrogated Ma Yuanyi and his cronies overnight, although Ma Yuanyi's tongue was cut off and he couldn't speak.
However, through letters and confessions from his cronies, Sima Fang still began to search for palace guards and officials in Luoyang who had dealings with Ma Yuanyi in Luoyang City, and those involved had committed suicide in fear of crime.
Sima Fang also didn't delve into Ma Yuanyi's tongue cutout, he knew how deep the water was. He focused on the arrest of Ma Yuanyi's henchmen and the arrest of the head of the Taiping Dao.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty directly ordered Ma Yuanyi to split the car in the city, and then ordered the Jizhou local government to arrest the Taiping Dao party, especially the first offender Zhang Jiao. At this time, it was November of the sixth year of Guanghe, two months earlier than the arrest of Ma Yuanyi in history, which was also the result of the discussion between Lu Bu and Jia Xu.
They agreed that the Taiping Dao should not be too well prepared, and although it could not prevent the development of the uprising, it would always be easier to suppress it in the future if they were not well prepared and rushed into trouble, and the damage and impact caused would be smaller.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, Lu Bu, a little butterfly, flapped his wings, and the history he changed was not a little bit, and everything may not be able to develop according to his expectations.
