This time, Yang Zhen has seen how slow the efficiency of the government is in this era. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He arrived in the capital in late September, and immediately told the Xu family all kinds of crimes at the morning court meeting, and then the Son of Heaven ordered a thorough investigation and let the three law divisions collectively take charge of the matter.

But then ...... Several yamen have been delaying this again and again, and they have not been seen looking for relevant people for interrogation, whether it is the two brothers of the Xu family in the capital, or Yang Zhen, who directly exposed the matter, they have never been to the criminal department and other yamen. During this period, Yang Zhen also asked people to inquire, and the reply they gave was that the evidence was still under inspection, and the witnesses had not yet arrived.

In this regard, Yang Zhen also admitted it, and did not have any objection. However, after Hu Ge and others escorted those Japanese and Cao gang people, rushed to the capital after October, and sent them to the criminal department by the Jinyi guard, there was still no movement in those few legal departments, and it had been more than half a month, but they didn't seem to be ready to try this case at all.

Obviously, this is a means for the DPRK and Chinese officials to help the Xu family get away with it. Because the matter is extremely serious, these court officials are naturally not good at excusing the Xu family on the surface, so they can only use some secret means, and among them, the procrastination trick is obviously a very effective trick.

Some people will be puzzled, this case has such a big impact, everyone in the world knows that the Xu family has committed a sea ban and a complication, and they also sent people to intercept and kill Feng Zhiqincha, how can these crimes be cleared up after a period of time? In this regard, Yang Zhen has his own opinions, obviously there are two purposes for doing this, one is to minimize the impact of this matter, and when the public opinion cools down on this matter, what they can do for the Xu family will become easier. In addition, the longer the time drags on, the sooner the Xu family can come up with a proper way to deal with it, although this may not come true, but it is always good to delay.

Yang Zhen didn't want their actions to defend the Xu family to succeed, otherwise wouldn't his actions in Jiangnan be in vain? So after seeing that the Three Law Divisions did not respond for a long time, he finally couldn't sit still, and on October 12, he brought someone to the Yamen of the Criminal Department in person.

Seeing Jinyiwei Fu Hu suddenly coming with a face, the officials in the criminal department who knew what was going on looked a little cowering and embarrassed, and they just saluted when they met, said hello, and flashed out. Yang Zhen and the others waited in the side hall for a while, only to see the waiter Weng Ruyan rushing over with a somewhat reluctant smile: "Yang Zhenfu, what kind of wind is blowing you to the yamen of our criminal department?" Do you have any cases that you need to contact us? ”

Yang Zhen's gaze first stayed fixed on Weng Shilang's face for a while, and after seeing that he was uncomfortable, he smiled and said, "This official doesn't dare to hand over the case to your criminal department." ”

"What does Lord Yang mean by this?" Weng Ruyan was stunned for a moment and asked casually.

"Isn't that clear? You can even disobey His Majesty's will, and you will naturally not take it seriously if I am such a case of Jinyi Wei's pacification. ”

"Lord Yang, what you said is too serious, please forgive this official for being difficult to accept and understand." Hearing the unkindness in Yang Zhen's words, Weng Ruyan's face also sank.

"What, does Lord Weng still want to deny it? Let me ask you, how many days have it been since His Majesty asked you to try the Xu family together, why haven't you made any moves? You don't even pay attention to such a big thing, let alone other cases. Yang Zhen didn't have the heart to go around in circles with them, so he went straight to the point.

Weng Ruyan didn't expect Yang Zhen to be so direct, and he suddenly became a little speechless. In officialdom, even if the relationship between the two sides is hostile, unless it is time to never die, no matter what they say or do, they will leave some affection and will not do things to death. But Yang Zhen is good, he speaks with a gun and a stick, completely blocking the opponent's room for maneuver, this style really makes Weng Ruyan a little unable to parry.

After being stunned for a while, he smiled bitterly: "It turns out that Yang Zhenfu came here because of this matter, and this matter has been delayed so far, and it is indeed our mistake." However, after all, this matter is very important, not to mention the extremely serious crime, and the people involved are still the former first assistant, so we dare not be cautious. In addition, our Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple have to discuss with each other again, so it has been delayed for a while, and I hope Yang Zhenfu can understand. ”

Listening to the other party's official tone around the circle, Yang Zhen's brows wrinkled even tighter, and the sneer on his face became a little thicker: "Really?" Lord Weng, is this deceiving me, I don't know that the three divisions will be tried? Before, I also experienced the triage of the three divisions, but at that time, it was only a few days to succeed, why did I get to this day, but there are more difficulties? ”

"This ...... After all, there are many differences between the cases, and this time it also involves the confessions of the Japanese people, and few of us here understand the Japanese language, so it will naturally take more time. After all, the stakes are high, and we all need to be careful. Although he was unhappy, Weng Ruyan still explained to Yang Zhen.

However, Yang Zhen was not so easy to fool, I saw him staring at the other party's eyes: "Really? Then I want to ask, it's been more than half a month today, but I don't know how much exact evidence of the Xu family you have, and when are you going to start the trial and convict? ”

"Yang Zhenfu!" Weng Ruyan was finally annoyed, and his voice became louder: "This case was handed over to us by His Majesty for trial by the Three Law Divisions, so you don't need to put your beak in it, right?" When the time is ripe, the three yamen will naturally try it, and there is no need for you to come and care about it. ”

As soon as he said this, a trace of anger flashed in the eyes of Hu Ge, who was standing behind Yang Zhen, and he couldn't help but put his hand on the saber on his waist. However, in the face of this move, Weng Shilang did not show any fear, just looked at the two of them with a sneer, and continued: "My criminal department has always acted impartially in questioning cases, and I will definitely not hastily convict people because of someone's coercion. Whether he is a high-ranking official or a common person, he is the same. ”

"Well, well said!" Yang Zhen was not only not annoyed by the other party's outspokenness, but applauded: "If Weng Shilang's words are sincere, then I am relieved." Moreover, I also hope that Lord Weng will indeed judge this matter impartially, otherwise what we Jinyi Guards are doing, you must know very well, I don't want to invite you to go to the edict to talk because of this. ”

"You ......" heard the threat in Yang Zhen's words, which made Weng Ruyan's complexion change again, but he was a little embarrassed.

"Anyway, this case was found out by our Jinyiwei, so there is no reason to give up halfway. We'll keep an eye on it, and if anyone wants to do something, don't blame us for being unsympathetic. That's all I have to say, and I hope you will do it yourself. After dropping such a threatening sentence, Yang Zhen got up and said goodbye.

Looking at the back of Yang Zhen and them leaving, Weng Shilang's face was cloudy, but he didn't know whether to be angry or worried. After being stunned for a while, he turned out, and then came to Lord Shangshu's public office and knocked on the door to ask to see him.

"Come in." As soon as he heard that it was him, Wu Baipeng, the new secretary of the Criminal Department, who was looking through the official documents inside, put down the matter in his hand and looked at the subordinate with great concern: "How is it, then Yang Zhen was sent away?" ”

Weng Ruyan smiled bitterly: "This Yang Zhenfu is not easy to dismiss." As he spoke, he told the content of the conversation between himself and Yang Zhen after they met, and said with a bitter face at the end: "He is obviously suspicious that we are going to help the Xu family, so this time he is here to make a threat." And from the point of view of the lower officials, what he said is also the truth, their brocade guards are now widely spread in the major yamen, once he really catches any handle, it will be enough for us to trouble. ”

"Hey, that's a bit of a trick. On one side is the face of Mr. Xu and Mr. Zhang Ge, and on the other side is Jinyiwei, we can't afford to offend anyone. Wu Baipeng's eyebrows were twisted into a pimple at this moment, and he kept sighing, thinking about how he was so unlucky, and he took such a hot potato as soon as he arrived.

And when Weng Ruyan heard his words, he was also stunned: "Does this matter still have anything to do with Elder Zhang Ge?" Did he know anything about it? ”

"Isn't that right? However, Zhang Ge is a disciple of Master Xu, and he was cultivated by Master Xu. Do you think he would let the Xu family be convicted regardless of his kindness? Although he didn't open this mouth, the meaning of it can be seen by anyone who is not blind. Moreover, I also heard that the two brothers Xu Fan and Xu Kun went to Zhang's Mansion to meet before, and Zhang Ge Lao also met them personally. You say, if Elder Zhang Ge had no intention of defending them, would he have met them at such a sensitive time? ”

"Then let's sell Zhang Ge's old face and continue to drag this case until the big thing becomes small and the small thing becomes small?"

"I thought so before today. But now it seems that this is not so easy. Yang Zhen not only has a lot of power in his hands, but also has the trust of the Son of Heaven, and this case was also ordered by the Son of Heaven to investigate, do you say that if we drag it out like this, will the Son of Heaven be indifferent? ”

At this moment, Weng Ruyan was completely speechless, so he could only sigh with his boss and embarrass together. Fortunately, they knew that this matter was not only a dilemma for their criminal department, but also a general dilemma for the other two legal departments and yamen.

At this moment, a scribe cautiously came to the door and said to the two of them, "My lord, here is an urgent letter from Songjiang......

"Huh? Take it for me to see. As soon as he heard that it was from Songjiang, Wu Baipeng's heart moved, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand.

After opening the letter and quickly browsing it, the embarrassed look on his original face suddenly disappeared: "God bless, the matter has finally come to an end." ”
