Chapter 535: The Real Murderer Behind the Scenes
The city's lantern show is still lively, and the tourists have not lost their enthusiasm for playing because it is getting late, and the crowds of people wandering around the imperial city have not decreased at all.
No one knows what happened outside the city, let alone that the capital of Daming has just experienced a catastrophe of life and death.
There were several inconspicuous visitors in the crowd, starting with a middle-aged scribe in his thirties, followed by two servants who looked like family members.
Such masters and servants abound in the crowd and do not attract anyone's attention at all.
The middle-aged scribe was slender and clear-looking, and at first glance he knew that he was a man who read poetry and books.
Like other visitors on the street, the middle-aged man had a hint of disappointment in his eyes, although his face was full of admiration.
The middle-aged scribe surnamed Fan, named Wencheng, was the first traitor who helped the founding of the Later Jin Dynasty in history.
In another time and space, the Fan brothers took refuge in Nurhachi very early, but with the birth of Ye Xun, everything changed.
In this time and space, Fan Wencheng's brothers were persecuted by the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, so they hated the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty deeply, even if Ye Xun came.
In history, Fan Wencheng had a vision and would invest, helping Nurha and his wife formulate many national policies, and also rebelled against many Ming Dynasty generals.
This set is definitely not good in Ye Xun's time and space, but this person is also very good, he has been secretly observing, until Huang Taiji was driven to North Korea, he secretly found Huang Taiji, and in the subsequent conversation, Huang Taiji was shocked, and he was immediately entrusted with a heavy task.
But Fan Wencheng didn't want to be exposed so early, so he secretly formulated a series of plans with Huang Taiji against the Ming Dynasty and Ye Xun, including the purchase of Altan's subordinates this time, and the conspiracy to facilitate Altan and Zhu Yuanwailang's personal affairs, all of which came from him.
According to the previous plan, Neiying, who was bribed by him in the Altan battalion, immediately encouraged Mongolian soldiers to rush into the city to rescue people after Altan was captured.
Because of the lantern exhibition, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has been designated as the city that never sleeps, and the city gate is not closed.
And as long as the rebel army enters the city, no matter what their purpose is, to attack there, it will inevitably cause panic in the entire capital, not to mention Ye Xun at that time, even the gods will descend to earth, and I am afraid that they will not be able to stop the chaos in the capital.
The plan is not vicious, but also thoughtful enough, Fan Wencheng only didn't expect that Ye Xun's reaction would be so fast.
Seeing that the night was dark, but there was still no movement outside the city, Fan Wencheng knew that the plan had failed, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the eunuch was still angry!
But it doesn't matter, tomorrow's court meeting will see how you resolve it?
Soon, these inconspicuous masters and servants disappeared into the crowd.
Fan Wencheng and Huang Taiji both knew that Ye Xun's secret agents were powerful, so this time Fan Wencheng came to the Central Plains, not only did An Fei Guyang, who arrived in advance, not know, but this guy also deliberately took a sea ship to Ryukyu first, and then landed in Jiangnan, and finally came to the capital as a Jiangnan businessman.
Although there is a road guide in this era who can prove his identity, it is too easy for someone like Fan Wencheng to forge it.
That's why this guy can wander around the capital so freely, and of course his task is not only that, what he wants most is the new firearms of the Ming Dynasty.
With Han Ping and Yuan Liang's subordination on the Liaodong side, that line was broken, but Fan Wencheng obviously wouldn't just stop, and he could show his talent if he couldn't.
Indeed, it is difficult to find real talents, but if there is talent but no virtue, if all the talents are used to curry favor with foreigners and become hardcore traitors, then there can only be one word to describe this person, that is, he is innocent.
After dawn, Ye Xun went directly to the court without even returning home.
Today is the first great pilgrimage meeting after the New Year, and many major events of the New Year will be promulgated today.
Nowadays, courtiers are accustomed to the days when there is no emperor, and everything is discussed and compiled into a book, and then the cabinet will hear and make the final decision.
Everything is in order, and now there is no emperor in the court, let alone Ye Xun's position.
And if it weren't for Altan's matter, Ye Xun wouldn't have come.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the eunuch who reported the matter had obviously gone in to show the courtiers that Gonggong Ye was coming, but the courtiers in the hall seemed to not know, and they were still chattering about something.
Ye Xun frowned, although he was unhappy in his heart, but thinking about the purpose of this trip, he finally endured it.
Through last night's incident, it also reminded Ye Xun that no matter what happened, the court could not be chaotic, and people with intentions must not be given an opportunity.
After standing for a while, no one came out to take care of Ye Xun, Ye Xun's face couldn't help but turn cold, snorted lightly, and then turned around and strode away.
In response to that sentence, some people are used to it.
Ye Xun expected that at the beginning of today's court meeting, there was a royal history to impeach Ye Xun for shielding the murderer, and then Shuntianfu Yin also received the news and the conclusions reached after investigating the scene, and presented them in court.
The people of Xichang went later, and Altan also took over from the officials of Shuntianfu, although the scene was blocked afterwards, but the evidence and other things have been grasped by the people of Shuntianfu first.
Under normal circumstances, the West Factory is very passive, but there is no way, no one can afford to mess with the boss of the West Factory!
It was the official's family who died, and the murderer was a military general, and the Shuntian Mansion couldn't manage it, so it had to be handed over to the next level, and at this time, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department needed to come forward.
Dali Siqing didn't dare to offend Ye Xun, and Wang Yin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, has always been a wallhead, so he also wanted to push this matter out, in this case, the officials began to argue.
Ye Xun came at the right time, but Altan is his subordinate, according to reason, Yang Sichang and other cabinet members should invite Ye Xun in, but because Ye Xun is suspected of harboring Altan, coupled with the promotion of the officials of the Imperial History and the Ministry of Rites, Yang Sichang can only choose to snub Ye Xun.
Ye Xun left, but the noise in the hall continued, and the imperial historians demanded that the murderer must be severely punished to correct the law.
Wang Yin and Dali Siqing said that the case had been transferred to Xichang, so they had to believe in Ye Gonggong and believe that Ye Gonggong would not bend the law for personal gain.
"Shut up to the old man!"
Yuan Keli, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, roared angrily, and finally made the people of both factions honest, it was Old Man Yuan's subordinates who died, and anyone could pull the skin, but he couldn't.
After the hall was quiet, Yuan Keli turned to Yang Sichang and the others, and said in a deep voice: "The prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people, and Gonggong Ye is the person who upholds the laws of the imperial court the most, so there is no need to discuss this matter again, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, the Inspectorate, and the three divisions will be tried, if Gonggong Ye really wants to shield the murderer, then the old man will sue the old man and return to his hometown."
It can be seen that the old man is really angry, you must know that he is only in his sixties, which is the golden age for his career, and he will not take the initiative to leave the court without special circumstances.
Yang Sichang agreed with Yuan Keli's proposal from the bottom of his heart, but subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhang Quan and Yuan Yingtai, and said, "Lord Yuan's proposal, what do you think of the two adults?" ”...
