Chapter 150: Jiangnan Water Town 7
Gao Juyi's crime is not unjust, as a servant of the ministry, he has revised the official assessment more than once, accepted bribes from local officials, and promoted him according to improper procedures, Jin Yiwei has long mastered Gao Juyi's crime, but Zhu Youzhen has not approved the arrest for a long time, and he is waiting for Wen Tiren to go to Nanjing before arresting.

Gao Juyi and Wen Tiren are classmates and fellow villagers, the relationship is very close, and they also echo each other in the court, he has a lot of unsightly things with Wen Tiren in private, and Zhu Youzhen also knows all these things, but Zhu Youzhen doesn't want to delve into them.
Li Shichao in Nanjing City wants to kill chickens and monkeys, and Zhu Youzhen also wants to kill chickens and monkeys, but the monkeys have changed.
After Feng Ying, the secretary of the Criminal Department, received the order, he was interrogated overnight and the case was decided as quickly as possible.
The evidence of corruption and perversion of the law is conclusive, beheading and showing to the public, and the family property is confiscated into the treasury.
Although Wen Tiren was not in Beijing, he still learned about this matter for the first time, as soon as Gao Ju was imprisoned, Wen Tiren was panicked, and when Li Shichao came to report the evidence collected every day, Wen Tiren was also absent-minded.
Is Wen Tiren worried about his friend's life? No, he is just worried about his future, the party dispute in the court is serious, if he is used by the Donglin Party or Luo Yang, it will be difficult for him to get out of the matter, so he was afraid two days later, the news came from Jingshi, the case has been decided, but the emperor did not delve into it, Wen Tiren knew that this is the emperor protecting himself, thinking that he is a confidential minister, and he is also a patrol envoy of the southern tour, if something goes wrong at this juncture, the court will be dull, and the new policy will be far away, after thinking about this, I think that Wang Chengen in the court will support himself, As long as you do a good job of the southern tour and let the new policy be implemented smoothly, then you will have no worries about your future.
In fact, Wen Tiren is very smart, after understanding the stakes, he took Li Shichao to visit the senior officials in Nanjing, most of these senior officials were exiled to Nanjing after political failure, although they were stubborn, but they all stated that they would not hinder the implementation of the new policy, in which Wen Tiren's role played, and many of the officials in Nanjing City were once Wen Tiren's colleagues and subordinates. For example, Shi Yi, the current chief officer of the three major battalions in Nanjing, is his former friend, and this is the largest real power faction in Nanjing.
And Li Shichao's investigation of the delay of the new deal has also made a lot of effort.
When Jin Yiwei went all out to investigate the Jin Ke, he found that this person mingled with the local squire, as if he was advancing and retreating together, even the patrol envoy arrived in Nanjing, and the squire often went to the Jin Mansion with gifts to visit, when the new deal was implemented, someone had proposed that the Jin Ke was a big household in Nanjing, and he should be removed from his post and recalled to the Beijing Division, and then appointed, but Zhou Yanru thought that the implementation of the new policy was at a critical juncture, and now the Jin Ke was withdrawn, and the general before the battle, the cabinet adopted Zhou Yanru's suggestion, and did not change the Jin Ke, but these are small things, There is no way to bring down the Nanjing prefect at all, and only with solid evidence can you hold it in your hands to invite the imperial court.
In the evening, when Jin Ke returned home, he first found the housekeeper and asked, "Is there anything unusual in the house recently?" ”
After the patrol envoy arrived in Nanjing, although he went down two or three times, he did not propose how to implement the new policy, which made Jinke feel strange, and instead thought of a possibility, could it be that Wen Tiren wanted to knock down their stumbling block first, and then start to implement the new policy?
The housekeeper didn't know the situation, and said with some doubts: "Master, there is nothing abnormal in the house, but I found that there are more fresh faces of people passing by outside the door." ”
After listening to the housekeeper's words, Jin Ke's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Raw face, how long has it been." ”
"It's only a day or two, what's the matter, sir."
"It's okay, is the young master at home?" Jin Ke kept his composure and asked instead.
"The young master is sleeping."
"Wake him up and let him see me in the study." Jin Ke took off his official uniform as he spoke, changed into a cross-dress, and went to the study.
I read the official documents in the study for a while. Jin business tour is long overdue.
"Father, you call me." Jin Shangyou's spirit is a little bad, and his voice is a little listless.
When Jin Ke saw Jin Shang coming, he was angry and said coldly: "The knives are all on the neck, when will you be able to cheer up." ”
"On the neck, why did my father say this." Jin Shangyou hurriedly said, wanting to come and listen to Jin Ke's words, his spirit was also raised. ”
"In the past two days, Wen Tiren has not improved the new policy, which is very abnormal in itself, and the emperor appointed two patrol envoys, one is Luo Yangxing, the other is Wen Tiren, Wen Tiren and Luo Yangxing are incompatible. This is no longer a secret, we can't handle the new deal here, the court asks for guilt, Wen Tiren's face is gloomy, and the battle with Luo Yangxing has also fallen behind, so he is very anxious, he doesn't urge the official, it can only mean one thing, he doesn't want to rely on Ben as his father, then being a father is his biggest obstacle, and he will remove his father from this position. Jin Ke wouldn't say these things to Ren and his subordinates, because he didn't believe that those people would betray him, but Jin Shangyou was still very relieved.
"Then father, what should I do now, or you can talk to Lord Wen, and I am willing to do my best to help him implement the new policy." Jin Shangyou is really a little afraid that his father's official position will not be guaranteed, and now he lives a life of luxury and pleasure, relying on his father is the prefect of Nanjing.
"Confused, since you have chosen this road, you have to go this road to the end, if Wen Tiren comes, the new policy will be implemented smoothly, then the emperor will think that I am negligent
, when the time comes, it will still be a dismissal, but if it goes to the end, then it will be difficult to predict who will die. "Jin Ke is scheming, of course, there are still selfish intentions, if the official gentry pay the grain and increase the commercial tax, they have to pay tens of thousands of silver taels every year, which is the reason why Jin Ke does not want to promote the new deal.
"Father, are we going to the lower states and counties to make those officials keep their mouths shut."
"Don't worry, they won't talk nonsense. I can't rest assured that those squires, the local squires are okay, the Chen family, the Shen family, the Li family, these three are from Hangzhou, and the three families have people in the court as officials, and when the patrol envoy went south, I set up a banquet to invite the squires, these three families did not come, and they were not as active as before, I am afraid that they have new ideas. Jin Ke voiced his concerns.
"These three families have a bigger business than us, they have businesses in Hangzhou and Suzhou, they are the people who don't want the new policy to be implemented, why is my father worried about them." Jin Shangyou was very puzzled.
