Yu Qian frowned slightly, looked at Lu Zhen and said, "You said that Wan Xie was framed by the officials of the two ministries of household punishment, but his crime of corruption is real. Moreover, the cause and effect of this incident are quite strange, and if they had wanted to deal with him, they would not have to expose his crimes at all, but only have to use the evidence of his corruption to bring them to justice. But the current result seems to be a lot of extra hands and feet, and it really leaves a lot of flaws. ”

"What Lord Yu said is that this matter is still full of doubts, Lu Dudu, don't think about using such a statement to coax and prevaricate me!" Several other officials also came back to their senses and looked at Lu Zhen with some suspicion.

Lu Zhen didn't look panicked at all, but nodded and said, "What Lord Yu said is that there is indeed something strange about this case, and this is exactly the truth that the lower officials want to find out." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"As a household langzhong, Wan Xie has been filling his pockets in the past few years, but he is also peaceful, but why was it suddenly exposed in the third year of Jingtai? And the person who exposed his corruption charge was actually a royal history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate that had nothing to do with the household department. If it is replaced by Huke, it can still be convincing to find the problem from some clues, but Su Xu has this statement in the imperial history, which is worth playing. ”

"What do you mean...... He was instructed to expose the impeachment of Wan Xie? Yu Qian suddenly asked, "Are they the officials who divided his property?" ”

"Naturally not, these people also participated in this incident after the fact, how could they have known what he was doing in secret? Moreover, in the eyes of the lower officials, the only people who can know this matter well are the officials with a higher status than Wan Xie in the household yamen. Lu Zhen said this sentence with a solemn expression.

But these words made the faces of several officials present change, and their hearts became nervous. What he meant was that he thought that the officials at the level of the head of the household department were framing Wan Xie. If he really let him reveal the matter, the court will inevitably shake again. Even Yu Qian was a little nervous: "Is there a basis?" ”

"There is no clear evidence for the time being, but as long as you dig deeper, this person behind the scenes will definitely have nothing to hide. At least from the officials who profited from it, clues can be found. But what made Xia Guan even more curious was what his motives were and why he had to spend so much effort. If it is because he has a grudge against Wan Xie, he can come forward to expose his crimes, so that he can still be rewarded by His Majesty. If it was because he coveted the property of the Wan family, it can be seen from the results that he did not get his wish, but cheapened the officials of the two departments of household punishment, so this matter is very interesting. Lu Zhen calmly analyzed, but everyone was flustered when he heard it.

After a pause, he glanced at everyone again and said his inference: "The only explanation is that this person really wants to get rid of Wan Xie, but because he is not clean, he doesn't dare to make a big deal about it." Moreover, he also knew that if the imperial court found out that Wan Xie had embezzled a huge sum of more than one million silver, he would also be suspicious of other officials in the household department, so he thought of using the greed of the officials involved in the case to divide Wan Xie's family property, which led to the result that only 50,000 taels of silver were confiscated in the end. The depth of this person's mind is really impressive. ”

"This ...... All this is just your Lu Dudu's speculation, is there any conclusive evidence? An official's face turned pale, but he still asked forcefully.

"I think there will be conclusive evidence soon. Those officials who were taken down by my brocade guards will definitely not last long. They should be well aware that the gap between the mastermind and the accomplice is still huge. Lu Zhen said, and said with a smile: "You have come at the right time, and you can be here to testify." ”

While he was talking, a subordinate hurriedly ran over: "Governor, they are willing to recruit!" ”

Hearing this, Yu Qian and the others' bodies trembled suddenly, and many people glanced at Lu Zhen with some confusion. The latter, however, seemed very calm: "In that case, then bring people here and let them confess truthfully." As he spoke, he glanced at everyone again: "Just ask the adults to go first and then take refuge, and listen to their confessions." ”

At this time, it was impossible for them to stay out of the matter, even if they were a little reluctant, they could only obey Lu Jin's arrangement, and went around behind the huge screen behind them together, waiting quietly.

A moment later, several officials with panicked expressions were escorted to Lu Jin. He first asked about the specific names and official positions of these people, and they were all household officials. Then he got into the topic: "Let's talk about it, who is the person who has been hiding behind the scenes?" ”

Several people hesitated for a while, but after being swept away by Lu Jinna's cold gaze, they finally couldn't resist it, and replied honestly: "Yes...... It should be the Yan Shilang of the headquarters! ”

Hearing this, everyone behind the screen was shocked and almost screamed. Even though they had vaguely guessed that this was the answer, when the truth appeared, they were still extremely shocked.

Today's household servant Yan Fang has always given people the impression that he is as serious and square as his name, and he is completely a clean official. Who would have thought that he would have such an unknown side......

Lu Zhen was very calm, and after listening to this answer, he just nodded slightly: "You are unconscious to testify like this, is there any definite evidence?" ”

After several officials looked at each other for a moment, one of them said: "Yan Shilang didn't leave any evidence at that time, but it was indeed his order for us to take the opportunity to divide Wan Xie's family property......"

"And it's very strange that Yan Shilang didn't want Wan Xie's family property, and we originally planned to give him the largest share, but Yan Shilang refused. It's just ......," he said, hesitating a little.

"Just what?" Lu Jin knew that the key point had arrived, so he hurriedly asked.

"It's just that he told us that he wanted us to cross out a person's name from the Wan family, and let us take the person out of the Wan family and send him to one of his outer houses during Wan Xie's detention......

"Who is this person?" Seeing that the other party was a little stumbling, Lu Zhen looked a little dissatisfied.

"It's Wan Xie's concubine, what is Chunchuan's ......?"

Lu Jin's face finally had a smile, because he knew that the key to this matter had surfaced. Obviously, Yan Fang made a move on his subordinates for the sake of this woman named Chunchuan, and in order to hide people's eyes, he also said that he moved the relevant officials involved in the case, thus turning a big corrupt official into a small corrupt official, and at the same time creating more than a dozen new corrupt officials.

At his suggestion, the clerk's office on the side quickly brought the confession to these officials, asked them to confirm it, and then signed it one by one. When everything was done, he ordered his men to take these officials down and take them into custody. When these people left, they begged him for mercy vigorously, saying that he had told him the truth about everything he knew, hoping that Lu Dudu would be relieved.

In this regard, Lu Zhen looked very magnanimous in front of him, and nodded again and again, but after they left, he sneered: "How can I have the final say on such a crime, only look at Your Majesty's Sacred Heart." ”

Yu Qian and the others also walked out from behind the screen at this time, their faces had become extremely ugly at this time, mixed with various emotions such as indignation and uneasiness, and their gaze at Lu Zhen was much more complicated than before.

"Lord Yu, now you believe that my Jinyi Wei did not wronged the court officials and used people to establish authority indiscriminately, right?" Although Lu Jin's question was Yu Qian, his gaze swept over the faces of other people from time to time, making their faces more and more difficult to look at.

Originally, they thought they were righteous to argue with Lu Zhen and rescue their murdered colleagues. But now, things have changed one hundred and eighty degrees, good people have become criminals, and Lu Jin has become a fair and strict decent person, which makes them really unacceptable.

It was Yu Qian, who was open-minded, and just smiled bitterly when he heard the words: "It seems that there are too many people in this world who know people and don't know their hearts." Shansi, how are you going to deal with this? ”

"Naturally, we want to take down the mastermind as well, and then hand it over to Your Majesty. As I said earlier, Jin Yiwei is just supervising hundreds of officials for His Majesty, as long as we find that there are court officials who have done anything to violate the law of the country, we will definitely investigate it to the end! ”

As a result of these words, the faces of several other officials changed again, and the back of their spine was even more cold. Because they know very well that few people who mix in officialdom are completely innocent, and they will more or less do something wrong. If Jin Yiwei also mastered some of his own private interests, it would be tantamount to hanging a quick knife above his head. Maybe at some point the knife will fall and cut itself in two.

Yu Qian looked at Lu Jin, then turned his head to look at his colleagues, and sighed lightly. He knew very well that Lu Zhen was using this to blackmail everyone, and even used this to remind the Manchu officials - in fact, our Jinyiwei not only had the relevant clues of this case, but also the things you did in private were also under our surveillance. If we want to, we can use this to arrest you at any time.

What is a threat, this is the most direct and red fruit threat!

But the effect of these words is much better than other words, after hearing this, the officials no longer have the previous arrogant appearance, one by one lowered their eyebrows, and they didn't even dare to speak.

After Lu Jin and Yu Qian talked a few more words, they said goodbye and left.

Presumably, soon, the charges of Yan Fang and others will be known to the government and the opposition, and Jinyiwei's attitude will also be spread by them. In this way, the Jinyi Guard, who has been despised and suppressed by the courtiers for several years, finally has a chance to turn over, and even become that terrifying institution again......

@@@@@

After some tossing and turning yesterday, passers-by understood a truth, on days like Eleven, it is wiser to stay at home and code words。。。。。 The traffic in Hangzhou is much more difficult than that of a small county-level city。。。。。 And that Yu Qian Temple is really biased。。。。。

But it's finally a wish.,It's also in front of the adult's tomb to bow a few times - it's a little shameful to do this in front of other tourists.。。。。

I thought Yu Qian Temple should be quite deserted, but the result is okay, I don't know if it's a holiday, at least there are still a lot of tourists. . . However, compared to the Yuewang Temple passing by, it is still too far behind.

Finally, I found out that today is another Monday, so I asked for a recommendation ticket!!!!
