There are always things in this world that are so elusive. Take the case of Wuchang this time as an example www.biquge.info the people thought that it must be a protracted war, and everyone had thought of it when the final trial came to an inconclusive result. But the development of this case is shocking, and it ends unusually quickly.

Those adults from the capital only interrogated a few officials from Hu Lin and below one by one, and in the eyes of everyone, they were all truthfully recruited. Not only did they confess to many of the crimes mentioned in the evidence, but they also brought up other crimes and dragged other officials into the water.

In this way, the trial of the case will go even more smoothly. Although the people were puzzled by this, could it be that these officials had discovered it in their conscience, or that the imperial court had such majesty that corrupt officials did not dare to quibble. But in any case, there has been such progress in the case, and many corrupt officials have been convicted one after another, which is always applauded.

Only a few discerning people saw something else going on. This is just a compromise, the sacrifice of Hu Lin and others in exchange for the peace of the Zhang family. You don't see this trial, not only did the Jiangling Zhang family not lose a single feather, but they were not even mentioned, and it seems that they have long been forgotten.

But in any case, the political lives of officials such as Hu Lin, Ren Huaigu, and Hua Muchun are completely over. Either capital offense awaited them, or exile and raiding, and no one would care about them anymore. However, many people began to pay attention to who the imperial court would send to replace this large number of vacancies, after all, this is the rich Huguang, which is the hometown of Zhang Taiyue, the first assistant of the current cabinet.

Soon, word came from everywhere that the imperial court would send a number of officials from the southern provinces to fill the vacancies. As for the original positions of those officials, they will be selected from next year's imperial examination jinshi and those who have been ranked in previous years. But all this will not be until after the beginning of spring next year.

When he learned the news, Yang Zhen had already re-met with Yang Chen. Yang Chen had almost recovered compared to before, except that his face was still a little pale, his body was already in good condition. But perhaps because of the aftermath of being imprisoned, he is much more silent than before, always looking thoughtful.

As soon as he learned the news, Yang Zhen told his brother: "Big brother, if you can enter high school this time, maybe you won't have to wait for an official like your predecessors in the past." ”

Every three years, the imperial court produces two or three hundred new scholars, but there are only so many official positions in the world. Therefore, there are many jinshi, especially those who are not so prominent, who will have to wait a while before they can be appointed by the imperial court. And this year, because of Huguang's trouble, the future of Xinke Jinshi next year is much better than that of previous years.

"What's the use of thinking about this now, I just hope that if I can go to high school, I will be worthy of my ancestors and myself." Yang Chen's heart was very calm, and then he thought of something: "It's the moon now, I think it's better to leave for the capital earlier." "Spring is in February, and according to the time, it is not two months.

"When is Big Brother going to leave?"

"I originally planned to go back to Gangneung to worship my parents and ancestors before setting off. But it's been a long time here, and the weather isn't very good, so I think it's better to leave early! At this time, their brothers were still in Wuchang City, after all, Yang Zhen would not be able to get out until the matter was completely over.

"Since that's the case, then I'll talk to Tang Baihu and them. They won't embarrass you. Yang Zhen said after thinking about it. Although they are still settled by Jinyi Wei, the person they want is Yang Zhen, so they can naturally open up to Yang Chen.

"Then what are your plans to do with Erlang?" Yang Chen paused, then lowered his voice and said, "Being a Jinyi guard is not a long-term solution after all. "In the eyes of orthodox readers, being a soldier is already a failure, and being a spy like Jinyiwei is even more despicable.

Although Yang Zhen didn't agree with his brother's point of view, he couldn't say it clearly, so he just said vaguely: "Let's decide after I ask a hundred households." If they are willing to release them, I would like to go to Beijing with my eldest brother, so that I can take care of them. ”

When Yang Chen heard him say this, a smile appeared on his face: "This is the best." In fact, they were forced to let you enter Jinyiwei out of desperation, but now that the matter is over, they can't stop you if you leave. ”

"Big brother still thinks things too simple......" Yang Zhen secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.

After Yang Zhen found Tang Feng and explained his brother's intention to go to Beijing, Tang Feng had no intention of stopping him. But then he said: "You came just in time, there are adults from the capital who want to see you, you can go with me to the governor's yamen." ”

The time to come has finally come, looking at Tang Feng's serious appearance, Yang Zhen knew that the final test for him had finally come.

Half an hour later, Yang Zhen was taken by Tang Feng to the side hall of the original governor's yamen—at this time, this had become the world of brocade guards—and he saw a thin man with a gloomy face. This person is Wang Kui, the commander of Jinyiwei who came to Huguang to investigate the case.

Wang Kui looked Yang Zhen up and down for a while before he said: "You are really a hero since ancient times, Yang Zhen, you are really surprised that you are so young." He said he was surprised, but there was no surprise on his granite-like face.

"The lord praised it falsely, and the subordinates just acted according to their duties."

"Really? When did you join Jinyiwei? What was your identity before? ”

Sure enough, just as Tang Feng and the others expected, after only saying a few words, Wang Kui began to interrogate Yang Zhenlai. Fortunately, they had been prepared, and Yang Zhen answered one by one, saying that he was the Jinyi guard who joined a year ago, and also pointed out that he was the head of the county government. The Jinyi guards have always liked to place people in various yamens so that they can find out more secrets, which is in line with their usual behavior.

In fact, Wang Kui had already seen these from the information of Jinyi Weihu Guangqianhu, and it was just a verification to ask at this time. But then the seemingly chatty interrogation was the most crucial: "I heard that you are a shrewd person, and you were deeply valued by Tang Baihu and Zhai Qianhu not long after you came in." I have always had a good relationship with Zhai Qianhu, I wonder how he has been recently? ”

That's what he's really asking. But Tang Feng and the others had already made sufficient preparations, and Yang Zhen said: "If you go back to the adult, Zhai Qianhu is in very bad health now, and because of the weather, it is difficult to go to the ground." As he spoke, he also showed a worried look on his face.

"Oh? Zhai Qianhu is so sick? It seems that the governor made the right decision. Wang Kui suddenly said this.

Yang Zhen didn't feel anything yet, but Tang Feng over there changed his face: "My lord, what is the decision of the governor?" ”

"Oh, look at my memory, I actually forgot about it. Zhai Qu has been sick for many years, and he is no longer suitable to be this brocade guard. So the Governor has decided to send someone else to take over the position. As for Zhai Qu, I will bring him back when I return to Beijing this time. ”

"What? This is absolutely unacceptable! Tang Feng, who had always been calm and calm, changed his face at that time and shouted loudly.

"Huh? Do you dare to question the Governor's arrangement? A cold light flashed in Wang Kui's eyes, and he didn't smile.

Seeing him like this, Tang Feng was shocked to realize that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly clenched his fists and pleaded guilty: "My lord doesn't know, Qianhu is seriously ill, and he can't afford the pain of long-distance boats." also asked the lord to tell the governor on his behalf, even if he went to the post of a thousand households, he couldn't let him go back to the capital. ”

"It's not up to me to call the shots, and it's not for you to put your beaks in. Don't think you're presumptuous because you've made some credit this time, you have to understand who you are! When talking about the word "merit", Wang Kui accentuated his tone, as if he was referring to something.

In the face of such a situation, Tang Feng had no strength to fight anymore, so he had to keep his mouth shut, but he had a lot of hatred in his heart.

But Wang Kui didn't end the conversation like this, but suddenly looked at Yang Zhen again: "Since you are my Jinyiwei's person, why did you go to the Criminal Division to file a lawsuit?" Don't you know that we Jinyi Guards have always had their own rules? When will we have to go through the government to do things? This kind of sudden questioning is exactly the trick that Jinyiwei is used to, and it can often catch people off guard. And this question is quite tricky, it turns out that this is his real killer feature.

Tang Feng was really unprepared for this question, and when he was shocked, his face became even more ugly. It seems that it is really like what Qianhu said, this is really sad, Wang Kui is looking for their handle everywhere.

Under the gaze of the two of them, Yang Zhen blushed after hesitating and said, "The subordinates also did this out of a moment of anger!" At that time, Ding Fei was chased and killed by Hu Lin's iron guards, I saw it with my own eyes, which is our Jinyiwei's own brother...... But Lord Baihu always said that he wanted to focus on the overall situation, and refused to let us take revenge, but just sent some evidence to the capital.

"I really can't swallow this breath, but I can't help a governor alone, so I will finally make this decision! If the adults think that I have done something wrong, my subordinates are willing to be punished, but they have nothing to do with Baihu and other brothers! Speaking of the back, Yang Zhen's voice also became louder, his eyes were red, and he looked like he was arguing with reason.

"Good boy, the reaction is really fast, and the acting is really realistic." Tang Feng's hanging heart finally settled down a little.

"I see, for the sake of your brother, you are also a righteous person. Very good! Although Wang Kui was praising him, his face was not good-looking, and it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with his tentative questioning for nothing.

After glancing at the two of them, he said a little unwillingly: "Tang Feng obeys orders." You have made meritorious efforts to investigate corruption in Huguang this time, which has greatly increased the face of our Jinyiwei, and the governor is very satisfied, and he specially asks the Son of Heaven to promote you to the deputy thousand households of Jinyiwei. Tang Feng, this is a rare promotion, don't thank you! As he spoke, he took a letter of appointment from the side.
