Volume 2 Imperial Capital Storm Chapter 199 The Only Chance

If someone else says this, I'm afraid no one will take it seriously and think that it is just a lie. But the meaning of Lu Jin's words is different, he has just sounded the Dengwen drum and sued the royal person in front of the Son of Heaven, and the same words come out of his mouth, and its deterrent effect is naturally extraordinary.

Whether it was Qu Ping or Han Yue, after seeing Lu Jin's solemn appearance and hearing him say this categorically, the whole person was panicked, and his eyes were already full of horror.

Seeing this, Lu Jin's momentum became even greater, and he slapped the stunned wood again: "Say, why do you want to set fire to others, what is the conspiracy in this?" This time, he simply didn't even say anything suspicious, and directly determined that these people were the culprits of the incident.

Now that there was physical evidence—the box of treasures that had been snatched from them—and witnesses—they didn't know how to talk even if they wanted to argue.

Although there are still many doubts in this case, it is different from hundreds of years later, for the government, it is enough to completely convict the crime if it can produce these substantive evidence. So in a sense, whether they admit it or not, as long as Lu Zhen reports the case, they will overturn all the previous judgments, and they will also replace the Qingzhu Gang as the culprits of arson and theft.

Knowing this, several brocade guards were even more frightened, and they kept their heads down and trembled, but they couldn't say anything. In fact, the only hope they have now is that their own adults can come forward and take this case away from Daxing County, and then try it separately. But is it possible?

Lu Zhen could also see that they were still clinging to the last bit of hope and didn't want to give up, so he smiled again: "It seems that not only do you not cry when you don't see the coffin, but you are still holding on when you see the coffin." Since this is the case, the official can only play truthfully and let the criminal department and other yamen make the final decision. Come on, take them down first! ”

With Lu Jin's bang again, this interrogation ended, although they had not really been asked to admit their guilt, but it was obvious that the matter was a foregone conclusion.

It is impossible to hide anything in the capital for too long, especially this kind of thing that can arouse everyone's discussion the most. Therefore, it was only in the evening, and the news that the Daxing County Yamen had arrested several brocade guards had spread all over the city.

Subsequently, an even more unbelievable news also came out, those brocade guards who went to fish for people under the banner were actually trapped in it, and they were also detained by the Daxing County Government depending on the situation.

This is really beyond everyone's common sense, in the past, I only heard that Jinyiwei took people, who would have thought that one day they would also be taken? And it's just a county office, so he dares to detain all the people of Jinyiwei in a row, which is tantamount to directly using a big-eared scraper to smoke Jinyiwei's face.

At this moment, Xu Gong's face already had a few bright red palm prints, which were the result of being slapped a few times. However, the leader of the brocade guard didn't dare to complain, and even when he slapped him just now, he didn't even dare to flash it. Because it was Wang Zhen who slapped him.

After slapping him a few times, Wang Zhen said hatefully: "Waste, this brocade guard has completely become a bunch of waste in your hands." Even a small Daxing County dared to take the people of Jinyiwei in, you still have no choice, and you still have the face to ask our family to help you, you say, what is the use of our family wanting you? ”

Xu Gong, who was sprayed with spittle all over his face, lowered his head, and could only say yes, and he didn't even dare to say the first half of the sentence.

To be honest, he was indeed a little resentful, and everything was done by those guys under his back, including his previous actions, and today's trip to Daxing County. But now, Wang Zhen blames everything on him, as if it is all his responsibility.

Who called Ma Shun, who really made trouble, a close confidant of Wang Zhen, and Wang Zhen intended to set up Ma Shun to replace Xu Gong, so naturally he wanted to blame all the faults on him Xu Dudu.

Although Xu Gong was very dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't even dare to say a word of rebuttal in front of Wang Zhen. Of course, this is due to Wang Zhen's strong enough to suppress him, but the cowardice of his character is also an important reason. As the leader of the Jinyi Guard, he has completely become Wang Zhen's minion, and he doesn't even have any autonomy, and he, the governor of the Jinyi Guard, is indeed too much of a failure.

"Now our family will give you two ways, either go to the Daxing County Ya to fish out those people for me, and then teach that Lu Zhen a hard lesson, so that he knows the name of Jinyiwei. Either resign directly, and find another responsible person to serve as the commander of this brocade guard! Wang Zhen finally snorted.

Yes, this is an ultimatum, which makes Xu Gong only feel a chill, although he said so, but in fact, he was forced to go to a dead end.

Although Xu Gong is timid and cowardly, he is still sober-minded, even if he really fights with Lu Zhen as Wang Zhen said this time, and wins the fight, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will still be troubled, and it is only a matter of time before he is replaced by Ma Shun. Moreover, he didn't feel that he was really sure that he could scare Lu Jin, this county magistrate was a well-known madman in the capital, and he didn't treat any powerful people as his son at all, could he still scare him?

Moreover, if he really does this, I am afraid that what awaits him will be an even more difficult reproach, and even if Wang Zhen does not make a move, those civil officials in the court alone will be enough to impeach and remove him. In that case, why bother to come out and be this wicked person?

Although he had made up his mind, Xu Gong still only said yes, and then retreated a little embarrassed.

It wasn't until Xu Gong left that Wang Zhen's face changed slightly, and he only scolded another word of waste, and then looked at Ma Shun, who was not very good: "You say, how should this matter be handled?" Looking at Xu Gong's appearance, I'm afraid you can't count on him. However, Han Yue and the others are all your henchmen, and they know too much about you, once they really ask Lu Zhen something, it will be troublesome. So they have to be brought out as soon as possible. ”

After Ma Shun pondered for a while, he said tentatively: "Father-in-law, there seems to be only one way to plan now. That is, send Lu Zhen away quickly. As long as he leaves office and changes to the Daxing County Order, we will be enough to let him go. But this small thing will definitely not be done, only you have this face, father-in-law. ”

"Well, that's a clever way to get paid at the bottom of the kettle. It is indeed a problem that this Lu Zhen has been staying in the capital, I heard that the Ministry of Officials has been transferring him to Jiangnan, is this accurate? ”

"Exactly. A few days ago, there was an order to promote him to the magistrate of Hangzhou, and it seemed that the order had been sent to him. "Ma Shun is the one in charge of Jinyiwei, and he still knows a lot about some things in the officialdom.

Wang Zhen nodded lightly: "In this case, it is really not good for him to always stay in the county office, but it is time to leave Beijing." In this case, I will go to the relevant people of the Ministry of Officials and urge them to leave the capital immediately. ”

"Father-in-law is wise!" Ma Shun hurriedly gave up his hand to flatter.

Wang Zhen showed a smile at this time: "After this incident, Xu Gong's position as the governor of Jinyi Wei has also been completed, and I will arrange for you to replace him." You've also seen what has become of Jinyiwei in his hands as a waste. Therefore, after you take office, you must re-establish the prestige of Jinyiwei, and there must be no such bad things again. ”

"Yes, the little one has been noted." Ma Shun then said: "Father-in-law, please rest assured, although you can't save people for the time being, the little one will let people pass a message to Qu Ping, let them hold back first, don't admit their guilt, and leave everything to deal with after Lu Zhen is expelled from Beijing." ”

Wang Zhen smiled with satisfaction: "Then go and do things well, this time, we can stay and wait for that Lu Zhen to settle it well." When he said this, Wang Zhen's eyes revealed a bitter hatred, he really hated this person to the bone marrow, and only because he was a little jealous of the reaction of the Son of Heaven, he had been patient and did not attack. But he believes that when Lu Zhen leaves the capital this time, he will still have a way to rectify him.

"Yes! Small retirements. Ma Shun hurriedly shook his spirits and responded, but he was secretly happy in his heart, because he knew that he would soon be able to completely grasp the power of Jinyiwei.

Some people rejoice, others worry. Xu Gong, who came out of Wang Zhen's mansion, was very discouraged, and almost fell to the ground when he turned over and got on the horse. Fortunately, the cronies on the side stepped forward to help, so he didn't really make a fool of himself.

"My lord, this incident is obviously caused by Ma Shun and them, why do you want to put the blame on you." The subordinate said rather angrily.

Xu Gong smiled bitterly: "Who told me that I wasn't a cronie promoted by his father-in-law?" In fact, he wanted to change me two years ago, but he never found a suitable excuse, and I still had some cronies before...... It's a pity that I gave in for a while and took the initiative to transfer those good brothers out, and now I have become a fish on someone's chopping board......" When he said this, his face also showed regret.

"Are you really going to give up your position like that, my lord?" The subordinate asked uneasily.

"If not, what else can I do? The arms are still not able to twist the thighs. Xu Gong sighed, he was already cowardly, and he didn't dare to fight at this point.

"My lord, we can't bear this breath anymore. We have to fight back. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? We weren't the opponents of the prince at the beginning, and now it is even more impossible to be, and now that we are enemies, we will only die faster! Xu Gong immediately sank his face.

"Not necessarily." Unexpectedly, this young subordinate with some Hu blood said softly: "Maybe we can't really fight back, but we can make them pay some price." My lord, this may be our only chance. ”

"What the hell do you want to do, Qingele?" Xu Gong asked with some surprise.
