Although in the end, Taining Marquis Chen Liangbi did not agree to Yang Zhen's request, after all, no matter what status the officials in the capital are, they will be afraid of Feng Bao, and they dare not offend easily unless necessary, but Yang Zhen is also sure that he will completely drag Chen Liangbi into the water when he acts next, but he did not explain it to his face.

As for the case of the Xiangshan female corpse, it can be regarded as completely over, and under the concerted action of the next few marquis, all the charges fell on a few unlucky house slaves. In this regard, the yamen of the criminal department who took over this case also happily praised the practice of several nobles and nobles in killing their relatives with great righteousness, believing that a few people who could hand over their own subordinates who had committed crimes without favoritism and slander were enough to be models for officials in the world. And according to this, he went to the court and said a good word for these three nobles.

This case, which had been gradually forgotten, ended with such a sudden change, which naturally attracted the discussion of the officials and people all over the city again, some people felt that they were indeed selfless, and some people felt that there must be something greasy in it, otherwise why would these powerful people with no low status pour this dirty water on themselves? You must know that although this case was committed by their subordinates, they still can't escape the evaluation of a ruling party.

However, no matter what, there are different opinions, after the court has invented a document to completely end the case, it is impossible to turn the matter back and continue to investigate. Of course, this is not a bad thing for several nobles, at least compared to the truth, these discussions are still within the scope of their acceptance.

It seems that everyone is satisfied, and only a few people who know the inside story have some opinions on this, including Yang Zhen's brother Yang Chen. Not long after the incident, he found his brother and said very seriously: "Erlang, is this the final decision you made?" At the expense of justice, but also to befriend those powerful people? ”

Facing his brother's questioning, Yang Zhen seemed very calm: "Yes, this is my choice." Big brother, do you think there is any more suitable way besides this result? ”

"But by doing so, you are clearly indulging the real murderers, so how can the dead rest in peace?"

"Then big brother, do you think that if I make the truth public, those sons will be punished as they deserve, or even their lives? Big brother, they are powerful ministers, even if they are exposed, it is impossible to pay for the lives of a few lowly women. As soon as the matter comes out, there will inevitably be a large number of people in the DPRK and China waiting to intercede for them, and then I will stand on the opposite side of those people......" Yang Zhen patiently explained.

"Yes...... After all, these are five lives! Yang Chen said with some sadness: "At the beginning in Zhuji County, can we completely suppress those big families?" ”

"There's no comparison at all, the water in the capital is much deeper. And even if it is put in the future generations, will there be fewer descendants of powerful people who have such things? Won't they still get away with it? What's more, it's still the Ming Dynasty? Yang Zhen directly pointed out the root of the problem.

Yang Chen is not a stubborn person, he just said such a thing because of a moment of righteous indignation, but now that he calmed down and listened to Yang Zhen's explanation, he could only sigh for a long time: "These ministers and magnates are high above the law, and they treat the people at the bottom as nothing, how can there be fairness and justice in this world!" ”

"This is a helpless thing, at least now that our strength is still extremely weak, we can only accept this unfair situation, maybe one day, our brothers can change all this, right?" Yang Zhen said with blazing eyes, but in his heart, he also felt that it would be extremely difficult to do this.

Unlike Yang Chen after knowing the truth, Wanli didn't pay much attention to this truth. However, after listening to Yang Zhen's narration, he still sighed: "I didn't expect this case to end like this, Yang Qing, you did a good job, not only convincing the people, but also saving the face of the minister and the court, I am very relieved." ”

"Your Majesty is falsely praised. The minister just chose the least bad way. In fact, this is not fair to those who died, they are still wronged after all, which is the sins of the ministers. Yang Zhen hurriedly bowed and said.

"I naturally know your difficulties, and this matter is determined by me, and it can only be such a result. After all, they are the heroes of the imperial court, although they have made big mistakes, but for the sake of their ancestors, they can't really let them fight with their lives. Speaking of this, the emperor's brows furrowed again: "But these people are so unbearable, I can't imagine it." Can't they, the sons of gentlemen, keep to themselves? ”

"In fact, there are many ministers like a few little marquis, and some may even be worse than them, but they have not been discovered. When the Japanese minister was on an errand in Qipan Street, he had a lot of dealings with such figures, and they have become a major drawback to the stability of the capital. But because of their identities, whether it is Shuntianfu, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, or the Jinyi Guard, they can only turn a blind eye to their actions. ”

"Are these people so unsuccessful?" Wanli looked thoughtful, this kind of thing, as the king of a country, of course, he could not know.

After Yang Zhen instigated a little, he didn't say much, just stood there quietly, letting the emperor think about it himself. I hope Wanli can see clearly the harm of these nobles, which may not be a good thing for the court and the people.

But soon, Wanli thought of another thing: "Yang Qing, you really did what you said this time, and you really solved this case successfully, I am very relieved." You have made an agreement with me before, as long as you can solve this case, you will agree to go to your Jinyi Wei to support you, and you can set a date for this matter. ”

Yang Zhen didn't expect the emperor to keep the agreement so happily, and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." The minister had also discussed with the Marquis of Zhenyuan before, planning to parade in the Beijing camp around the Mid-Autumn Festival, and at the same time wanted them to have a battle with the soldiers of the Beijing camp to see the results, but I don't know if His Majesty will be able to come out at that time? ”

"Oh? Do you still have this idea? The little emperor asked with interest: "It's nearly July now, and you only have one and a half months to train people, aren't you afraid that those people under your command will make a fool of yourself and lose your face in front of me?" ”

"I just want Your Majesty to see if this method of training soldiers is feasible, if it is feasible, it may be able to be popularized in my Ming army, and if it doesn't work, it's just that. As for the minister's face, it is nothing. Yang Zhen hurriedly explained with a smile.

Seeing him think so much about the country, the little emperor was both happy and ashamed in his heart, it was indeed worth rejoicing to have such a person, but he had doubted his loyalty because of the impeachment of someone in the court, which made Wanli feel a little ashamed. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "Yang Qing can have such thoughts, it is indeed the blessing of me and the Ming Dynasty. Then it's decided, the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I came to see what the results of the soldiers you brought were! ”

"The minister obeys the order, and the minister thanks Your Majesty for your trust!"

The Xiangshan case ended in such a result, and since there are those who are happy to benefit from it, there are naturally those who are frustrated. Among them, the most frustrating is the initiator of this matter, Liu Shouyou, the governor of Liu Dadu.

He thought that he could use this case to cause contradictions between Yang Zhen and Wu Qingbo, and even achieve the effect of killing people with a knife, and even if it was not good, he could rectify Yang Zhen on the charge of ineffective handling of the case.

Unexpectedly, this thorny case was resolved so satisfactorily not long after it fell into the hands of Yang Zhen, except for some voices among the people who doubted the result, almost everyone felt that this was the best result. And what made Liu Shouyou feel even more depressed was that the case was finally closed in the yamen of the Criminal Department, so even if he really found other clues and wanted to deal with Yang Zhen by overturning the case, it would not be possible, which would offend several powerful people and the Criminal Department.

"This kid is even more slippery than a loach, and he actually told him to dodge again. No, if I don't want to come up with a proper way, Yang Zhen's reputation in Jinyiwei will become bigger and bigger, and at that time, I, the governor, may not be able to suppress him. There is also Father-in-law Feng, I have dealt with Yang Zhen several times and he has dealt with it, Father-in-law Feng will inevitably be dissatisfied with me, which is not a good sign. ”

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Liu Shouyou's heart felt. He, the governor of Jinyi Weidu, really doesn't have much autonomy, and he has to rely on Feng Bao and Dongchang to command, and this son is not very reliable.

But the more this is the case, the more he can't think of a better way, with Yang Zhen's current status and fame, he is willing to use some extraordinary means at any cost may not be able to get rid of the other party, just like getting rid of Tang Feng before.

"It's hard! Where did this Yang Zhen get the ability and courage to be able to be our enemies again and again, and he succeeded repeatedly? Could it be that God sent us down? ”

Just when Liu Shouyou leaned back in his chair and lamented and meditated, the half-covered door was pushed open suddenly, and a subordinate broke in a little anxiously: "Something big has happened!" ”

"What's all the fuss about?" Liu Shouyou, who was interrupted by someone, opened his eyes extremely unhappily and scolded. After the subordinate bowed his head and accepted the crime, he slowed down his voice and said, "Say, what happened?" ”

"That...... Yang Zhenfu suddenly proposed to inspect the edict, but Yuan Qianhu couldn't stop him, so he could only let him go. I didn't want to just now, he suddenly ordered Yuan Qianhu to be taken down! The subordinate said with some trepidation.

"What?" As soon as he heard this, Liu Shouyou couldn't sit still anymore, and bounced up from his seat: "Let's go, hurry up and follow this governor to see Yang Zhen!" Unexpectedly, his boss hadn't continued to do it, and Yang Zhen, a subordinate, had already launched an active attack one step earlier!
