Without a Trace Volume 10 Shengping Chapter 13 Case Handling
、、、、、、、
Wang Feng of Jiajun personally led the arrival of Huai'an without injury, which was a blow to Cai Huaizhang, the governor of Anhui. Although successive river governors were not allowed to meddle in local government affairs, which magistrate did not want to get involved in river transportation in order to share the benefits? Although Cai Huaizhang knew that his hands and feet were extremely secretive, when the matter came, he couldn't help but be frightened. Moreover, the former river governor Qi Zhenbei had already locked up and entered Beijing to ask for the guilt, and if he bit it indiscriminately, he would have to walk around without eating.
Compared with the feudal officials of other provinces, Cai Huaizhang is not the henchman of the current emperor, and he was once demoted in the case of the Yin family in Huai'an, and it was easy to use a large amount of silver to dot up and down, so it took three years to get Zhuo Yi back, and he got back the lost grade, and in a blink of an eye, he encountered such a great case, so when it comes to bad luck, he can be regarded as the first one. Because of this, although he knew that Wang Feng of Jiajun was not a true confidant of the current emperor, he was still cautious when receiving him, lest he anger this prince. It must be known that as soon as the bullet is on, it is difficult for him to escape even if he has great ability.
At the banquet on this day, Cai Huaizhang was extremely humble, and when he toasted, he was even more smiling, of course, he would not forget Nian Jiacheng on the side. He had already inquired in advance, and he already had a vague idea in his heart, and the main person who came to investigate this time was afraid that this seemingly young Tobe Langzhong.
"Lord Wang, Lord Nian, you have worked really hard all the way, and you have been checking the accounts non-stop these days, and you have to be careful about yourself." As he spoke, he pointed to the banquet on the table, and said with a smile, "These are all specially prepared by the lower officials to the cook, the wine is the best tonic wine, and the dishes are also all kinds of nourishing things." It is definitely not an ordinary mountain and sea delicacies. The prince and the young man are both the backbone of the emperor, and the lower officials and others are just doing their best by the way. ”
Feng Wuxian looked indifferent, but Nian Jiacheng frowned when he heard it. He took a sip of the contents of the cup. Then he shook his head and said: "Lord Cai's words are untrue, and this time the envoy is led by the prince." We are only acting as assistants, and we have no right to praise. Moreover, how can a mere official be a minister of the brain? The emperor just valued the lower officials, who were both generalists and knowledgeable, and had some practical skills. Only then did he make an exception for promotion, and the subordinate officials were already grateful, and they didn't dare to think about it anymore. ”
Eating a soft nail, Cai Huaizhang couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, but he was a deep person in the city, so he just smiled, so he turned his head and stammered the wind without injury. Other officials also made fun on the side, but they actually talked wildly, which made Nian Jiacheng criticize in his heart. Although he was a member of the staff of the Xiao Mansion. But after all, he rarely attended this kind of occasion with Xiao Yunchao, so he was always a little unaccustomed, but the veterans of those households spoke properly. I mingled with everyone completely.
When the wine feast dispersed, the wind went back to the room without injury, and of course all the officials in Anhui also asked for peace one by one. After a few hours of commotion, Nian Jiacheng was a little tired. Just as he was about to rest, he heard a knock at the door outside. He got up and opened the door to take a look, only to see that the person who came was a personal servant without wind injury, but the message he brought was for Nian Jiacheng to move to the room without wind injury. Nian Jiacheng couldn't refuse, but he muttered in his heart. The audit of the past few days is not so much a remarkable effect, but rather a futile effort, and the wind is harmless to be in that pile of rotten paper with them all day long, I don't know what kind of idea it is.
As soon as Feng Wuxian saw Nian Jiacheng coming in, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Xiao Nian, come on, come on, sit down, the middle of the night disturbed your sleep, and this king really didn't want to go." He and Nian Jiacheng have been getting along for a long time, and his precautionary heart has decreased slightly, but he greatly appreciates this young man's character and talent, so he has already won over, and his title is becoming more and more popular.
"Where, the prince invited him late at night, it should also be for state affairs, how dare the lower officials shirk?"
Nian Jiacheng added quietly, in this way, if the wind is not injured and has other intentions, it will be difficult to exit at this time. "I don't know what the prince has to discuss?"
Feng Wuxian's face instantly became heavy, and he waved his hand to retreat from the servants, and then he personally closed the door. He walked up to Nian Jiacheng in a few steps and said in a low voice: "This king has already received a secret report, and there is indeed a secret account hidden in the Hedu Yamen, which is kept by Qi Zhenbei's master on weekdays, but due to the previous lock of the imperial court, this person is already like a frightened bird." It must be known that all the characters have issued a killing order, and he, a small person, naturally can't hide, so he sent someone to the king of mushrooms, hoping to make meritorious contributions. The king has given him permission for the time being, but I would like to ask your opinion. ”
Nian Jiacheng couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and he had speculated before leaving that Feng Wuxian was so keen on this matter that he should have other things in his hands. Now it seems that the master may have taken refuge in this prince a long time ago, and the so-called meritorious service is just a pretext. He pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "The prince is naturally very appropriate, and the lower officials have limited knowledge here, and it is all up to the prince to be the master." However, this matter is really not a small obstacle, and if those officials are pushed too hard, it is difficult to prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry and doing something indecent. Feng Wuxian has been observing Nian Jiacheng's face since the beginning, and seeing that he only frowned slightly when he heard this, he made a decision in an instant, and he couldn't help but secretly approve in his heart. "Xiao Nian, this king knows that you are a cautious person, if you don't mention it, maybe this king will be a little more impatient. Well, according to what you said, after getting the account book first and having someone copy it, the king began to write the recital, and then let a reliable person send it to the capital. ”
The two agreed here, and Cai Huaizhang, the governor of Anhui over there, also got the news, and it was completely chaotic for a while. Qi Zhenbei and their money transactions have always been the sole responsibility of that master, and others can't find out any information. And since Qi Zhenbei was bad, Cai Huaizhang sent someone to keep an eye on the master, but because there were still others watching, he never made a move. I didn't expect a living person to suddenly disappear without a trace under his nose, how could he sleep peacefully?
At this time, Zhentai and Fantai were all discussing in his mansion, and with many close officials, it was actually a crowded room. These people are not clean, and once the incident leaks, their future will be all in vain, so everyone's face is worried. Although Anhui is also under the jurisdiction of the governor of Liangjiang, it is far from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so the idle affairs are all their own.
"It's really not good, I'll go to the sea to catch Wen, and in the name of a master of the governor's yamen who smuggled away with money, this guy is wanted!" After discussing and discussing, a group of people were at a loss, so Cai Huaizhang really had no choice but to use the last resort. As soon as the words came out, the platform on the side objected: "Futai, if that master is sheltered by King Yujiajun, how should you and I deal with ourselves?" It's really inappropriate to say this sea fishing article, so you should change your approach. ”
Cai Huaizhang was so angry that he made this decision, and when he saw that others were opposed, he suddenly sighed deeply. "If you don't say it, I also know that since that master can suddenly disappear, he must have a backer. Although King Jiajun is not the first prince to be used in the court, the holy family is also good. He went up with a bullet, do you and I still have a way to live? Even if he has the heart to let us go, it is difficult to guarantee that Jiacheng will be obedient that year. You have also seen it today, this person is trusted by the emperor, and he has a situation where oil and salt do not enter the ground, which is not easy to deal with! ”
Everyone looked at each other, and their faces were heavy. The Anhui political envoy on the side saw that the others were speechless, so he could only stubbornly say: "Although the emperor took Qi Zhenbei, this case is very important, if we admit it completely, and then go up to the ambush to argue the fold......"
Before he finished speaking, Cai Huaizhang refused: "Are you stupid or stupid?" We are not the emperor's descendants, if we confess our crimes, we will only die faster! This kind of thing, sticking out the head is also a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, and the big deal is that the fish dies and the net is broken. Cai Huaizhang, who has always been timid, said this kind of thing, which immediately made others feel uneasy.
However, the hesitation of the officials in Anhui brought an opportunity for Feng Wuxian, who first sent a copy of the impeachment note and a copy of the secret account in secret folds, and then sent troops to seize Cai Huaizhang, the governor of Anhui. Since he had asked the emperor for the right to arbitrarily act before he left, he transferred his military horses with an edict, and acted as if he had cut first and then played. Although this bullet was a secret fold, his actions were all swaggering and blatant, so Chao Chinese Wu immediately got the news, and there was another uproar.
Feng Wuxian did not expect the actions of this ninth brother in advance, and when he saw the impeachment of twenty-three officials in Anhui, he was certainly furious, but he also frowned deeply at Feng Wuxian's subsequent actions. However, the secret fold of the Anhui general allowed him to save the wind without harm. It turned out that after ordering the takedown of Anhui Fu, Domain, and Zhentai, Feng Wuxian did not interfere in civil affairs, and still threw many things to Nian Jiacheng as if he was throwing off his burden. As soon as the Anhui general's front foot arrived, the wind did not hurt the guilty fold and came on the back foot. In addition to counting his own arbitrariness, there is also a request for the imperial court to appoint officials as soon as possible.
After Feng Wuxian locked Qi Zhenbei and entered Beijing, he had already intended to clean up the Anhui officialdom, so officials at all levels had already had a case. And Feng Wuxian's performance at this time is undoubtedly deeply sacred, and for his previous reckless actions, Feng Wuxian can only verbally plead.
On the third day of the second month of the fourth year of Yufeng, the emperor Feng Wuxian issued an order, on the grounds that officials from Anhui up and down colluded with the river governor Qi Zhenbei and embezzled nearly one million taels of silver, exempted 23 officials from the titles of Cai Huaizhang, the governor of Anhui, and locked them into Beijing for questioning. Thirteen people who were outstanding in the evaluation of the Hanlin Academy in Enke Chunqiu, plus ten young officials from various provinces, went to Anhui to fill the vacancies. Wang Feng of Jiajun was uninjured and made meritorious contributions to the case of visiting the river governor, and was promoted to Prince Jia, and the rest of the household officials who followed were rewarded.
On April 15, after the trial of Dali Temple, the emperor personally wrote the execution, and the former river governor Qi Zhenbei was beheaded and abandoned the city for the crime of bribery, and Cai Huaizhang was beheaded for public display. The remaining 22 officials were either given death or exiled to serve in the army, but none of them were spared. At this point, provincial officials knew that the emperor was not a man of leniency.
