Chapter 596: Brothers Don't Fall to the Wall
Yang Guangyin heard from Yang Jian's words that his every move after returning to Beijing was within his father's sight, and he couldn't help but shudder: At the feet of the Son of Heaven, after all, it is different from the distant merger of the Emperor of Shangao, and it seems that he will take the initiative to report to his father in the future.
So, Yang Guang took the opportunity to respond, and without waiting for Yang Jian to ask, he took the initiative to report to him about the discovery of the "Wild Goose's Nest" killer Zhang Zhongjian yesterday, and the previous hand he assigned to marry his maid Xiao Xiao to Yang Su's mansion to secretly monitor Zhang Zhongjian.
Yang Jian expressed satisfaction with his son's quick response, and immediately promised Yang Guang that he could use the post station set up by the imperial court between Chang'an and Xinzhou to deliver news in time at any time, and keep Zhang Zhongjian in mind.
"I heard that many ministers of the DPRK and China went to your mansion yesterday, but they were all closed, what is going on?" Yang Jian wanted to say goodbye after seeing Yang Guang thank him, and reminded him casually.
"Oh, please forgive the son's carelessness for forgetting to report this matter to his father." Yang Guang felt that there was nothing to hide from his father, so he had to tell the truth, "Erchen suspected that the profiteer Pang Xun and some subordinates of the East Palace were colluding with each other to embezzle property, so he ordered someone to arrest Pang Xun and bring him to the palace for interrogation. Because Pang Xun had not yet confessed, the sons made excuses that they did not meet them. ”
"You released Xue Shixiong from prison to find Zhang Xutuo, and sent someone to arrest Pang Xun, what did you do this for? Do you want to find out the real culprit who framed Zhang Xutuo, or find out who among the subordinates of the East Palace embezzled money? Before you did these things, did you think that your eldest brother is a dignified prince and the prince of a country, and no matter what you find out in the future, it will greatly damage your eldest brother's dignity? Yang Jian lowered his face steeply, and questioned Yang Guangdao in a stern tone.
"Father and Emperor Rong, the son of the minister acted like this, there is really a hardship that cannot be explained to the eldest brother, and it is definitely not aimed at the eldest brother......" Yang Guang saw that Yang Jian was angry, and hurriedly explained solemnly.
"I understand your plight, so I have sent someone to the Eastern Capital to summon your eldest brother to return to Chang'an, and when your two brothers meet, you need to hand over Pang Xun to your eldest brother for interrogation and disposal, do you understand?" Yang Jian's face was gloomy like a bottomless pool of water, and he explained to Yang Guangdao word by word.
"But ......" Yang Guang thought that once Qian Wuliang identified the contents of the account book, maybe he would be able to follow this clue and find out the real culprit who designed to frame Zhang Xutuo, which could be regarded as removing the hidden danger for the East Palace, and he was quite reluctant to hand over Pang Xun to his eldest brother Yang Yong for disposal, and wanted to argue a few words.
"It's nothing, it's settled." Yang Jian immediately interrupted him, and Zhengse warned him, "Your mother often told me that the five of your brothers are compatriots of one mother, so there will never be a dirty incident where those brothers in the palace of the previous dynasty fought each other, but according to today, it may not be the case. Ah Zong, have you thought about it, even if you find out that it was the Yun family himself who designed to frame Zhang Xutuo, how should you deal with this matter then? Do you tell the truth to your eldest brother, or do you directly ask for my permission to deal with the Yun clan and his accomplices severely? What would your eldest brother think of you doing this? Once there is a traitor who stirs up right and wrong from it, according to my expectations, it will not be far from the brother to the wall. ”
Yang Guang really hadn't thought about it before that once the corruption case in the East Palace was investigated, how to deal with the East Palace officials involved in the case, and today he got the warning of his father Yang Jian, and suddenly realized that no matter what, as long as he found out that the concubines or subordinates of the East Palace had collusion inside and outside the business, and the behavior of corrupting and bending the law was found out, it would invisibly greatly damage the dignity of the eldest brother Yang Yong, and it would definitely cause the eldest brother to misunderstand himself. Suddenly, I was so frightened that a cold sweat broke out on my back.
"The father's lesson is that the son-in-law ordered someone to stop the interrogation of Pang Xun, and hand over Pang Xun to the eldest brother as soon as he returns to Beijing." Yang Guang bowed down and said.
"Since the person has been arrested in your house, the trial must be held. I had heard Su Wei explain the case in detail before, and according to my guess, that Zhang Sutuo must have been ordered by you to sneak to Wanshanni Temple to investigate the case of Guan Zizai, and accidentally discovered that someone in the East Palace was corrupt and bent the law, right? ”
Seeing Yang Guang nodding yes, Yang Jian continued: "If Guan Zizai, or other people in the 'Wild Goose' Nest are now lurking in the East Palace, will you investigate this case or not?" Therefore, I take special care of you today, and I still have to investigate, but the focus should be on the investigation of Nan Chen's fine work, so that when the prince asks in the future, you will have an explanation. ”
"The son of the Emperor Xie Father instructed me and obeyed the holy decree." Having said this, Yang Guang no longer dared to mention to Yang Jian that he wanted to clear his grievances for Zhang Xutuo, so he had to reply respectfully.
Yang Jian paused and continued to ask Yang Guangdao: "I heard from your mother, you have been suspicious of your master for some time, have you found any new doubts from her?" ”
When Yang Guang heard this, he lowered his head and thought about it, and felt that the fact that Zhang Heng reported to him the day before yesterday and the fact that the two of them were stumbling was not a new suspicion, so he shook his head and replied: "Not yet." ”
"What I want to remind you is that Xin Yi was originally a concubine of the former dynasty, and she was the leader of hundreds of concubines and women of the former dynasty in Wanshanni Temple, and she was quite influential among the court and the opposition in Chang'an. Since you have sent someone to monitor her for a year, and you have not found any suspicions related to the 'Goose's Nest' from her, it is better to shift your attention to Zhang Zhongjian's line as soon as possible, concentrate manpower and material resources to find a breakthrough from Zhang Zhongjian, and finally find out Guan Zilai, so as to remove this thorn in my eye and flesh, and also remove obstacles for the great cause of attacking Chen that is about to be implemented. Yang Jian slowed down his tone and advised Yang Guangdao.
"Father, the son is thinking, although he has not found that Xinyi is related to the Nanchen court, but according to his previous attitude of intentionally shielding and conniving at Sima Luo, it can be found that at least Xinyi has a heart for the court. Under the situation that the imperial court is about to raise troops to attack Chen, it seems that it is not appropriate to completely relax the surveillance of her...... "Yang Guangyin thought that he had sent people to monitor Xinyi for nearly a year, but he did not find evidence related to her "Wild Goose's Nest", but folded into a Zhang Xutuo, and felt that he was on fire, and couldn't help but argue.
"Ah Zong, you have to remember that it is your eldest brother who is currently presiding over the investigation of Guan Zizai's case, not you. The reason why I persuaded you to shift your attention to Zhang Zhongjian is because Zhang Zhongjian was discovered by you first, and if you want to hand over this clue to your eldest brother, I am afraid that it will hurt your enthusiasm for investigating the case, not for anything else. If you don't want to give up your mind immediately, I'll give you another three months. After three months, if you can't find new clues from Xinyi, you must immediately stop spying on her, can you do it? Yang Jian deliberately accentuated his tone a little and ordered Yang Guangdao.
