Chapter 901: See you in the palace
After sending the second daughter home safely, and after a while of comfort, Yang Zhen came out of the backyard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although he was very tired, things were complicated, especially the words before his death, which made him dare not relax in the slightest, so he didn't dare to rest, so he had to rush to the Zhenfu Division to preside over the overall situation.
Speaking of which, since he interrogated Naqu Changsheng last night and asked about the fake White Lotus Sect's lair from his mouth, Yang Zhen hadn't returned to the Zhenfu Division, and at this time, he didn't know what the situation was like after being attacked by the enemy.
Although he had already made some preparations in his heart, when he arrived more than half an hour later and saw the mess in the current Zhenfu Division, Yang Zhen's expression suddenly became very gloomy.
Nearly half of the building was destroyed by fire, and there was a row of corpses of dozens of killed guards in the courtyard in front of him, and at this moment, there were still people next to him reporting the damage of the Suppression Division:
"Dudu, we were attacked last night, and thirty-seven brothers died, including twenty-two in the edict and fifteen outside. In addition, most of the holding rooms used to store various documents, files and files, as well as various physical evidence and corpse confessions, were also burned, and the brothers who had arrived before only had time to rescue a small part of the files...... Also, the corpse sent by the Criminal Department before was also completely burned, and nothing can be distinguished......
Listening to these disturbing news, Yang Zhen's brows have become more and more wrinkled, the seriousness of the matter is more serious than he thought, these thieves are really bold and reckless to the extreme, they actually dare to be so wild in the Zhenfu Division, and set fire to the yamen.
Then he thought of something: "What about the situation of the prisoners in the edict?" "Like those files related to the secrets of Manchu officials, the prisoners in the edict were also an important asset of Jinyiwei.
"The two prisoners in custody died, both of whom were officials, and the other is one less felon who has been detained for nearly a year...... "The subordinate said, and peeked at Yang Zhen with some apprehension.
But this time, Yang Zhen's expression became very calm. After all, I've heard a lot of bad news, but I don't care about coming again, if there are more lice, it won't itch, and if there are more debts, don't worry. I saw him blink his eyes and say thoughtfully: "Is it the one who is confirmed to be a spying man?" "Although he is the governor of Jinyi and is very busy every day, Yang Zhen still has a deep impression of this person.
"Exactly."
"It seems that they rescued it." Yang Zhen narrowed his eyes, fortunately, those Mongolian spies have been wiped out, as long as he is tortured carefully, he is not afraid that he will not be able to ask where this guy is hiding. So from this point of view, the most urgent thing at the moment is to interrogate these prisoners, after all, the iron still needs to be struck while it is hot.
After making up his mind, Yang Zhen walked to the public hall on the other side, now because it was burned by fire, the entire system in the Zhenfu Division was a little chaotic, and the people were not locked in the originally designated detention room, but were placed in the public hall on the other side, guarded by many brocade guards.
Just when Yang Zhen came to that vicinity and wanted to enter, someone behind him hurriedly rushed up: "Du Du ......"
"How?" Yang Zhen turned around a little puzzled, not knowing what had happened.
"Governor, someone has come to the palace, and Your Majesty wants to announce your entry into the palace for questioning." The man replied with some trepidation.
Hearing this, Yang Zhen's brows wrinkled even tighter. Although he has a close relationship with the emperor, he does not see him every day, especially now that it is close to the New Year's Festival, he rarely enters the palace. Now that the emperor suddenly announced that he was going to the palace, it was obviously related to the change in front of him.
It's just that this has just happened, how could the Son of Heaven, who is in the Ninefold Palace, get the news so quickly?
Of course, Yang Zhen couldn't say the answer to this question, so he had to put it aside, nodded and said, "I will now receive the order to enter the palace to see Your Majesty." With that, he could only put aside his original plan for the time being, let the others interrogate first, and go to the outside.
When he came to the outside room and was about to go out and get on the horse, Yang Zhen suddenly remembered something again, and beckoned Xia Kai to the side: "You send someone to keep an eye on the Longping Marquis Mansion, and keep an eye on all the actions there, whether it is the entry and exit of personnel, or the entry and exit of things, you must follow." Because there were so many things, he almost ignored that those people who were spies were pretending to be people from the Marquis of Longping who wanted to get out of the city, so it seemed that this Marquis Mansion was too suspicious and had to be kept an eye on.
After Xia Kai gave his hand, Yang Zhen got on the horse with confidence and ran towards the palace.
After Wanli got up at dawn, he remembered the fire he saw last night, and he was uneasy, so he immediately inquired again. Under this question, I got the exact answer, it was indeed a fire in the Zhenfu Division, and then news came, saying that Jinyiwei actually fought with people on the streets of Xicheng, and caused a lot of casualties.
After learning of this situation, even if the emperor trusted Yang Zhen again, he couldn't ignore it. And now that the early dynasty has stopped, he has more time to ask about things, so he immediately called someone to bring Yang Zhenxuan into the palace for questioning.
So when Yang Zhen came to Wanli, the young emperor's expression was quite solemn: "Yang Qing, I heard that your Zhenfu Division was attacked last night and was set on fire?" Is there such a thing? ”
Faced with such a direct inquiry, Yang Zhen was not easy to deceive, so he nodded and admitted: "Back to Your Majesty, there is such a thing." Last night, the Suppression Division was attacked by the enemy's conspiracy, killing and wounding many people, and even some important documents were burned......"
"What's going on? How could there be such a bold and reckless person in the city of Beijing? Aren't your brocade guards well-defended, and few people dare to provoke them? Wanli stared at Yang Zhen with some dissatisfaction and asked. This is a very rare question, and the emperor trusted Yang Zhen very much in the past.
This scene fell into the eyes of Zhang Whale, who was waiting on the side, and he was happy in his heart. He personally asked others to give Yang Zhen the eye medicine before, and it was not in vain, and the Son of Heaven really became suspicious of Jinyiwei and Yang Zhen because of this. Although only such a little thing can't shake Yang Zhen's status in the emperor's mind, as long as this opening is opened, things will be much easier in the future.
Yang Zhen was really stunned for a moment, but soon regained his composure, his face was full of self-blame and shame: "It is indeed the minister's negligence for a while, which led to the trick of the thief, which led to such a result, and I hope Your Majesty will punish ......" said before he briefly recounted everything that happened yesterday.
After saying this, let alone the Son of Heaven, even Zhang Whale was shocked when he heard it. And what surprised him even more was that this incident was still very related to the Mongolian spy, so the water was even deeper: "Marquis Longping actually hid such a thing from me, you must know that there is such an accident, I will definitely not get involved in this matter." He regretted it a little.
As for the Son of Heaven, his face was even more solemn: "Have those thieves really been taken down by you?" ”
"This ...... But the ministers didn't dare to pack the tickets, because they were so cunning that they actually disguised themselves as people from the Longping Marquis Mansion and tried to get out of the city. As for whether they had any other way out of the city, it is even more difficult to say. ”
What is their real purpose? Is it just to deal with you Jinyiwei? "Wanli is not a stupid person, although he only knows a rough idea, but he also has such a question.
Yang Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The minister can't say it for a while, and he is planning to torture those thieves who have been taken down, so as to understand the details in depth." ”
Wanli nodded: "Then Yang Qing, you should try your best to investigate, I believe that with your ability, you will definitely be able to find out something." ”
"Thank you Your Majesty for your trust, but ......" Yang Zhen suddenly looked embarrassed, looking like he wanted to say something.
"What? Do you have any other difficulties? Wanli subconsciously asked.
"The minister does have two problems that he doesn't know how to solve. One of them is that yesterday the minister fell for the calculations of these thieves and was convicted of killing a certain chief official of the Ministry of Industry. Now, there is still a number in the yamen of the criminal department, maybe when they will send someone to get the ministers; Second, this matter also involved the Marquis of Longping, and the ministers didn't know how to pursue it...... "Since they have all arrived in front of the Son of Heaven, let's simply ask him to help solve the thorny problems, these two points Yang Zhen himself can overcome, but if he can get support from the emperor, things will naturally be easier to do."
Sure enough, after hearing his embarrassment, Wan Li thought for a while and said, "I believe that Yang Qing, you are categorically impossible to kill such a director of the Ministry of Works for no reason." Moreover, now that you can't solve this case, how can you be restrained by the Criminal Department again? In this way, I will issue an order that the Criminal Department shall not continue to investigate. However, the truth of the murder of the head of the Ministry of Works also has to fall on you. ”
"Thank you for Your Majesty's trust in the minister, and the minister will live up to his trust!" Yang Zhen hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
Wanli nodded slightly, and then put his face on the face: "As for the second point you said, it is related to the affairs of the family and the country, and it is also related to the Mongolian people, not to mention a Marquis of Longping, even the local vassal king is no exception, I allow you the right to act cheaply, and you must arrest all the murderers, no matter who he is, how deeply involved, you must not indulge!" ”
"Command!" Yang Zhen replied loudly again.
Zhang Whale on the side saw that it had finally become such a situation, and his heart was not good for a while. Unexpectedly, in the end, this eye medicine was cheaper than Yang Zhen, and it seems that the trust of the Son of Heaven is really not comparable to that of ordinary courtiers.
However, things have come to such a point that the water is so deep that it has been involved with the Mongolian people, and for the sake of his own safety, it is impossible for Zhang Whale to be involved anymore. As for Long Pinghou's side, he can only ask for more blessings, who tells him to provoke someone badly, he has to be an enemy of such a terrible guy as Yang Zhen, but this time he will have to suffer!
80 years ago today...... There are some things that are not destined to be forgotten!!
It's a pity that this book shouldn't be written about the battle with the Wa Kingdom, in fact, with Yang Zhen and their appearance, it is impossible to give the Wa Kingdom this opportunity!!
