What is the purpose of these people?

In fact, Yang Zhen also muttered in his heart, dealing with framing himself is certainly one thing, but obviously, this is not the ultimate goal of the White Lotus Sect and the Mengren people. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Of course, judging from the results obtained so far, the Mongols have achieved another purpose, but are they just trying to save such a person?

After pondering for a while, Yang Zhen gave his guess: "This may start from the identity of Zheng Heng." Why do they take a fancy to this person, and what is his use? Perhaps, after finding out this, all the conspiracies will be revealed. ”

"Can a director of the Ministry of Industry still influence the overall situation?" Guo Yuewei was a little skeptical.

"It's true that his status is not high, and he doesn't have much power in his hands, but maybe one of his powers is exactly what these thieves want?" Speaking of this, Yang Zhen's brows furrowed, as if he had thought of something, and then said: "Now it seems that the identity of this person is also worth investigating, maybe if you look into it, there will be new discoveries." ”

At this time, the third junior officer in the hall spoke: "This, the lower official has indeed investigated carefully, and found that this director of the Ministry of Works has only been in office for more than half a year, and before that, he was a member of the Ministry of War. It was only because he offended his boss that he was demoted and expelled from the military department to the Ministry of Industry as an errand boy. ”

"Huh?" Yang Zhen's expression moved suddenly, and he obviously thought of something important: "You said that he was once an official of the Ministry of War, but he was in charge of the defense deployment of the Northland?" ”

"This ...... No, he is only in charge of logistics food and grass supply. ”

"Really?" Yang Zhen's eyes narrowed, and a bold idea was born.

Before, he had always felt strange how the Mongolian spy stole the northern border defense deployment map from the military department, you must know that it was a top secret, not to mention that he was a Mongolian, even if the officials of the DPRK and China wanted to steal this thing from the yamen of the military department, it was not easy. But if this person has an internal response in the military department, everything is easy to understand.

And not long after the matter was revealed, this Zheng Yuanwailang left the Ministry of War and entered the Ministry of Industry for a proper reason, which is really difficult to convince people if there is no internal connection.

After listening to Yang Zhen's analysis, Guo Yuewei also became cautious: "This matter is really strange. When he was in the Ministry of War, something like this happened, and now that he has gone to the Ministry of Industry, there has been another case of his family being killed, could it be that he has also put his mind on something important in the Ministry of Industry? But after all, the Ministry of Engineering is different from the Ministry of War, if he is really a spies, what can he gain in it? In addition, all this is just our speculation, and we can't get any evidence......"

"We're not convicting him now, we're looking for a possibility, so it's a bold assumption." Yang Zhen has his own opinions, and at the same time has thought of some reasons: "By the way, can you find out the entire origin of this Zheng Heng?" Perhaps some clues can also be seen from this point. ”

"This subordinate has also been checked, he is from Jizhou, a thirty-two-year-old second-class jinshi, and has been an officer in the military department since then, but he has not made much progress in promotion, and he is also very low-key."

"Is it the people from the north? Guo Shilang, do you think he was bought by the Mengren long before he entered the imperial court? Or perhaps, he was originally a Mengren, but he just pretended to be an identity. Yang Zhen put forward a bolder hypothesis.

Guo Yuewei thought about it for a while, but still couldn't rule out this possibility: "Indeed, according to what Yang Dudu said, all this can be explained." But it's still that sentence, what is he trying to do? Is it just to frame you? ”

"Of course, their plot does not stop there, and I may have guessed some of their true intentions." Yang Zhen suddenly laughed: "Their purpose should be to disrupt the New Year Festival in the entire Beijing City." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Seeing that he suddenly said such an inference, Guo Yuewei was obviously a little unable to keep up with the rhythm.

Yang Zhen explained: "I have talked about this Zheng Heng with my brother, Yang Chen, who is Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, and he said that this Zheng director has been busy arranging the upcoming New Year's celebration recently. If he did something in the middle of his position, it wouldn't be a difficult thing, right? ”

"This ......" Guo Shilang's face suddenly became solemn, such a bold speculation really shocked him, but he couldn't come up with a reason to refute it.

"Moreover, if something happens as I say, he, as the official directly responsible for the matter, must be not guilty of a small crime, not only for him, but also for his family. Therefore, after arranging everything, he faked his death and escaped, and even his family was frozen by Li Daitao because of the limited knowledge of the neighbors around him. This is really a clever trick to hide the world! ”

Although it was a little surprising, this inference was also reasonable, which made Guo Yuewei nervous: "So, what did he do?" ”

"Well, it's easy to check, just go to the Ministry of Industry and ask my brother about it. If I had been right, we would have found something wrong. ”

It was a matter of the safety of the capital, Guo Yuewei naturally didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly said: "That's without further ado, let's go over and ask what happened." "The six yamen in the capital are all very close, so it's not too difficult to ask.

Yang Zhen also nodded in agreement, and took the lead in standing up: "Then let's go, I also want to see what conspiracy these guys have." ”

Although he was held hostage and injured a little, Yang Chen did not rest at home. Because the burden on his shoulders is really not light, and he dare not delay it. Especially when Zheng Heng's life and death are unknown, when the official he replaced is not too skilled in the work at hand, he, as a langzhong, still has to shoulder some responsibilities, so he seems to be even busier.

So when he learned that Yang Zhen and Guo Yuewei came to visit, he was still a little strange. However, he would not shirk it, and hurriedly welcomed the two into his public office, and then asked them about their intentions.

"Big brother, we are here to ask only one thing, what errands Zheng Heng has taken over. The more detailed you say, the better, especially the recent New Year's celebrations, which part of the year is he responsible for. Yang Zhen asked with a serious expression.

This question surprised Yang Chen a little, but he still answered honestly: "This Zheng Heng is quite diligent and down-to-earth, so I handed over to him the arrangement of the lanterns in the area of Yujie." What, what's wrong with that? ”

"Royal Street?" Yang Zhen looked even more solemn: "If I remember correctly, every year when the New Year Festival comes, many people will walk on the royal street to watch the lanterns to celebrate, and I heard that this year, Your Majesty will also come here in person to have fun with the people?" ”

"Exactly. It is precisely because His Majesty has made this decision this year that our Ministry of Industry does not dare to be sloppy. Yang Chen nodded.

Hearing this, Yang Zhen and Guo Yuewei glanced at each other, and they both saw deep worry and panic in each other's eyes. If things are really as Yang Zhen guessed, once those guys really get their hands on it, things will be really big.

Not to mention hurting the Son of Heaven who came, it was because of this that he was frightened, and this sin was not something that a few officials could bear. Coupled with the fact that the streets were bound to be overcrowded at that time, the consequences were even more unimaginable.

Guo Yuewei only thought of such a result, but Yang Zhen thought a little deeper. Once there is such a big mess, the responsibility will naturally be traced to the end. At that time, Zheng Heng was killed, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will have any associations - is this Zheng chief unwilling to obey people's orders, so he will be killed?

Then, whoever killed him is likely to be the culprit behind such a catastrophe. Judging from the previous signs, the identity of the murderer is naturally him Yang Zhen.

In addition, Yang Chen will inevitably be inseparable from this matter. Because the person in charge of this New Year's Festival celebration is him, the Ministry of Works, and he is Yang Zhen's brother, is it this conspiracy designed by his two brothers together?

Once such a logical inference is made, then the two brothers of the Yang family will really jump into the Yellow River and can't wash it away.

Before, Yang Zhen was still feeling strange, just such a murder case, even if he really couldn't get rid of it, with his current identity and the emperor's trust, he would be attacked for a while at most, could he really do anything to himself? Those White Lotus Sects and Mongolian people have done so much, isn't it in vain?

But now it seems that this is just a lead, in order to drag yourself into a more bottomless conspiracy. And once the crime of plotting against the capital, disturbing the capital, or even plotting to assassinate the Son of Heaven is convicted, even if the emperor has the intention to defend it, his fate is very worrying.

And what's even more terrifying is that when the time comes, all the evidence and clues point to him, and they are all related to him, no matter how much he says, no one will believe him, and naturally there will only be one left.

Thinking about this, Yang Zhen suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and even cold sweat broke out on his back.

Such a delicate and ruthless poisonous plan, if it were not for his own careful and continuous investigation, I am afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Big brother, this matter is too important, you must tell everything related to Zheng Heng, so that you can find out the trick and ensure safety." The nervousness in his heart made Yang Zhen's expression more serious.

Seeing his brother like this, even more so than when he saved himself, it also made Yang Chen nervous for a while, nodded hurriedly, and then turned over the file on the table. Thankfully, because of the stakes, he wrote everything down, so it wouldn't be too difficult to recall at this time.

Half an hour later, all the matters related to Zheng Heng's New Year's Festival celebration have been investigated, and Yang Zhen and Guo Yuewei also left the Ministry of Industry in a hurry......
