Chapter 488: Counterattack (I)

Although it is the end of July and the time of August, the weather is still a little hot today. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info especially when so many people gather in front of the yamen of the criminal department, people are next to each other, people are crowded with people, and this stuffy discomfort is even heavier. But even so, none of the people who watched the excitement left, and they still looked ahead, hoping to see something new at the first time.

To be honest, after such a long time, everyone is already a little tired, especially today's court trial, which is not like in the past, when people are dragged to the courtyard to beat boards or use other punishments, and the interrogation in the court is not audible, which makes people feel very bored.

In fact, not only them, but also the people of Dongchang and Jinyiwei who were standing in front of the hall, were also full of anxiety at the moment, and they all wanted to have clairvoyance to understand what the situation was in the hall and whether their own adults had an advantage.

But even if he was apprehensive in his heart, in the face of his opponent, none of them were willing to show weakness, and they used words to provoke them from time to time, as if if they did so, their own adults would have the upper hand in it. In this regard, although there are many officers and soldiers of the Criminal Department around them, they dare not speak out to stop them at this time, whether it is Dongchang or Jinyiwei, it is not something that these little people dare to offend easily.

But a fact is in front of us, after today, the Yamen of the Three Law Divisions will always offend a certain party, and with the sudden change of the situation in the court, the possibility of them offending Dongchang is already very high.

Above the lobby, Yang Zhen's expression was a little gloomy: "I don't dare to hide it from my lords, this official does have selfish intentions in doing this series of things, and it is just to take revenge." But I dare to say that everything I did did did not violate the royal law of the Ming Dynasty, but the people of Dongchang were the ones who really violated the law and discipline.

"Just last winter, Dongchang and some people in my Jinyiwei did an unjust case, and under the pretext that many nobles in the capital were stolen, Tang Feng, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, was arrested and imprisoned. I wonder if you still have an impression of this? ”

Since they were all officials of the judicial department of the imperial court, they naturally had some impressions of this case, so they nodded their heads one after another. Especially Hu Rangjie, the waiter of the Criminal Department, said with some emotion: "At that time, our Criminal Department was under pressure, but fortunately, it didn't take long for the case to be solved." ”

Yang Zhen smiled bitterly: "Then do you know that there is another hidden story in this case, all of which is a trap set to put Tang Feng in a Jedi?" This is clearly a scene played by Dongchang to persuade those princes who are afraid of its power and persecution, and as for the purpose, the spearhead is directed at Tang Feng. Sure enough, not long after, because of a villain's informant, the treasures stolen from Tang Feng's house were found from Tang Feng's residence, and he was thrown into prison. ”

"You talk nonsense! When did we do this kind of thing? How come I don't know anything as the head of the East Factory? Zhao Wuxian didn't expect Yang Zhen to actually mention this matter, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly retorted: "And what does today's court trial have to do with this, you don't care about him left and right, trying to confuse the public!" ”

"Who says it doesn't matter? It is precisely because I want to find out the truth of this case that I went to your Dongchang to get the person! Moreover, after my investigation, the truth is basically in my hands! Yang Zhen replied without giving an inch.

At this time, Song Liangzuo was already a little silent, and the target just now was easily resolved by Yang Zhen, so that he couldn't find a way to convict Yang Zhen for a while. It was Hu Rangjie, but at the moment he asked with interest: "Oh? The truth you are talking about is that Tang Feng was wronged? Do you have any solid evidence? ”

"Of course! Under the previous investigation, I learned through channels that this case was completely unfounded. Later, I remembered to take down Chang Wei, the head of Dongchang, who had a lot to do with the case, and interrogated the truth of the case from his mouth. Everything is as I know, it was Dongchang who made the powerful people lie and took a treasure from their house, and promised to return it when it was over. As for the reason why I was asked to take people straight to the East Factory to take people, it was also because according to Chang Wei's explanation, the real design of this matter was Chai Jinhui, a thousand households in the East Factory. That's why I'm in a hurry to storm the East Factory! Yang Zhen did not hide it, and even modified his behavior.

It was only at this time that Song Liangzuo said with a gloomy face: "Yang Zhen, even if you are eager to handle the case, you shouldn't be so lawless and take people at will!" Not to mention hurting people! ”

In the face of his questioning, Yang Zhen replied with a sneer: "Our Jinyi Guard, including their East Factory, as long as there are clues, do you still need the other party's consent to take people?" Don't you, Lord Song, even know this? ”

"Uh......" Song Liangzuo was stunned when he heard this, he did ignore the particularity of Jinyiwei, they are a privileged institution independent of the entire imperial court, generally speaking, as long as they think someone is guilty, they can take it first.

"Moreover, when I took people to the East Factory, I also negotiated with them first. Zhao Jue's head-" Yang Zhen said and glanced at Zhao Wuxian, who was gloomy beside him: "After entering the door that day, I had a word in advance and asked you to hand over Chai Jinhui." But the result? Not only did you refuse to hand over the people, but you also gathered a crowd to resist, and I had no choice but to order my brothers to do it. I ask you, am I wrong? ”

Zhao Wuxian wanted to say that Yang Zhen was lying, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say it. Because it was really like what he said it was. However, Hu Rangjie smiled when he heard this, and said in his heart: "You kid is really slippery, even if what you say is reasonable, with the status of Dongchang, how can you be bullied to the head and not fight back, but obediently hand over people?" So when you go to the door to arrest someone, you actually expect this to be the result! ”

Although he knew it in his heart, but with a neutral mentality, coupled with the fact that Yang Zhen had gained the upper hand at this moment, it was naturally impossible for Hu Shilang to break this point at the risk of offending people. However, he still frowned: "Yang Zhenfu, although what you did is reasonable, but for the sake of a wronged subordinate to do such a thing, is it too much of a fuss." ”

"Your Excellency, you are wrong! In my heart, the brothers of Jinyiwei are the same, whether it is a small low-level captain or a thousand governors, they are all my brothers, if something happens to them, I will do my best to help! As he said these words, Yang Zhen suddenly raised his voice, letting the words spread out of the hall.

When the brocade guards outside the hall heard Yang Zhen's words, they immediately looked excited, and called out to the Lord to calm down and strengthen their voices.

In the cheers coming from outside, Yang Zhen continued: "Moreover, this Qianhu Tang Feng who was framed by them has a very unusual relationship with me, he is my original boss. Without his attention and promotion, I Yang Zhen would not be able to go where I am today. And just when I finally had what I am today, he was killed in the capital. Although I was not in Beijing at the time and couldn't help him, as long as I came back, I couldn't pretend that I didn't know anything, and I had to get justice for him! ”

When he said this, many people in the hall were really moved, especially those errands, who looked at Yang Zhen's eyes a little eagerly. They are all low-level people, they don't have much culture, but they value a righteous word the most. Even if Yang Zhen is in a high position, he is still willing to take risks for his original brother, even if he greatly offends Dongchang, isn't this the ultimate performance of righteousness?

Even those officials, after facing Yang Zhen's statement, couldn't say that he was wrong.

After a while, Song Liangzuo snorted and said: "You keep claiming that there is a problem with that case, Tang Feng was framed by Dongchang and some people, then the official asked you, is there any substantive evidence?" ”

If he hadn't asked about it, Yang Zhen would have planned to find an opportunity to completely expose the case, and now that he asked this, it was exactly what Yang Zhen wanted. I saw Yang Zhen put his hand into his sleeve and touched it, and then took out the two confessions: "This is the confession I made after interrogating those two criminals for several days, and I also asked several adults to administer justice for me." "Okay, I don't have much work, so it's Yang Zhen who wants others to administer justice for himself.

At this time, Song Liangzuo even had the mind to slap himself twice, how could he mention this stubble, this is good, things are going to get completely out of control. Just as he was reproaching himself, the other two officials had ordered someone to bring up the confession, and then read it in the court.

After a while, Zhong Yucai said slowly: "Looking at what is said in this confession, if it is indeed true, then what you did is not wrong......

"Slow down, adult!" Seeing that the matter has been completely unfavorable to his family, if he really lets Yang Zhen use the topic to play and completely reverse the case, then his own guilt will be too great, I am afraid that after going back, Gonggong Feng will definitely not spare himself, so Zhao Wuxian was also anxious, and hurriedly interrupted the conversation.

Although he was interrupted by someone, Zhong Yu didn't mean to be angry, just smiled faintly and said, "I don't know if Zhao Juetou has any high opinions about this?" ”

His confessions are not credible. What kind of place is Jinyiwei, and a few adults won't know it, right? As long as ordinary people enter the edict prison, will they not be able to ask him the answer that Yang Zhenfu wants? So I suspect that these confessions are just lies that he obtained through torture. So far, the only thing Zhao Wuxian can refute is this statement.

Fortunately, there was also Song Liangzuo, and he quickly echoed: "Yes, Jinyiwei's behavior is well known to the world, and for them, a confession is not difficult at all!" ”

Although Zhong Yu was a little partial to Yang Zhen, he couldn't open his eyes and say nonsense in this matter, so he looked at Yang Zhen and said, "Yang Zhenfu, do you have anything to say about this?" ”
