There is a saying that there is no impermeable wall in the world, and this sentence is applicable even in the major yamen of Beijing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoNo, the Yamen of the Criminal Department has just taken Li Ye for half a night, and Zhu Chen is still interrogating people, but this news has already spread all over the city, and everyone knows it.

In particular, several important yamen knew about what happened in Beicheng last night, and for a while, many officials even put aside the official business at hand, and discussed the origin and credibility of this matter.

After all, the fraud case is so shocking that everyone has been paying attention to the reason, and now that such news suddenly pops up, it is naturally easy for people to talk about it. Many people even made bets, feeling that as long as Li Ye was confirmed to be the mastermind of this matter, it was very likely that he would be sentenced to be cut in half.

"Don't you want to think about what it will be like to try this time? That's Enko, who is under the wedding of the Son of Heaven. He Li Ye actually dared to do tricks in such a major exam, what is this not a bully? So I dared to pack the ticket, this time it was not only him himself, but also his family, and there was absolutely no good fruit to eat, and being sent to the remote was the lightest. In the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, an official who had always had some prejudices with Li Ye was talking to several colleagues, and looking at his excited appearance, it was obvious that the resentment between the two had accumulated very deeply.

However, as he said this, the expressions of several colleagues who were still interested in singing and harmonizing with him suddenly became much more indifferent, and they just smiled faintly: "Actually, why should we bother with this? As long as the matter is really done by him alone, and it doesn't even affect our entire yamen, everything just depends on the meaning of His Majesty and the cabinet. ”

"Huh?" The man was obviously stunned for a moment, how could the few people who had been talking to him very happily just now suddenly become so excited? Just as he was puzzled, a low cough sounded behind him: "Zhang Zong, what does it matter to you?" Why don't you deal with your own affairs? What is the reason for telling right and wrong like that long-tongued woman in the yamen? Is that how you worked for the court? ”

Only then did Zhang Zong come to his senses, it turned out that several colleagues who were talking to him found out that the officials of the headquarters had arrived, and they suddenly died down, which made him suddenly nervous, and hurriedly turned back and saluted: "I have seen Lord Shangshu, and the official is ......."

Today's Ministry of Rites Shangshu Ma Ziqiang is a sixty-year-old man, although he has always been gentle because he is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, but he still has some prestige in front of these subordinate officials. I saw that he glanced at the others dissatisfied, and then waved his hand: "You all disperse and go to your own business." Now that Li Ye has an accident, you still have to help share the official business in his hands, so don't chew your tongue here. Also, everyone is a colleague in the end, and this kind of thing has to be heard by the official again. ”

The crowd hurriedly said yes and dispersed. Only Zhang Zong was a little worried in his heart, so he was stunned for a while, and then found that Ma Shangshu did not turn back to his public hall, but after a little hesitation, he turned around and re-walked out of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

In this regard, he felt quite strange in his heart. You must know that Ma Ziqiang is a person who attaches great importance to rules, even if it is a yamen like the Ministry of Rites, which has always been idle, he does not allow officials in the ministry to go out at will, and he himself has always set an example, except for the early dynasty or any accidents, he can almost be seen. But today, he obviously went down to the Yamen just now, why did he just come in and go out again?

Although Zhang Zong had some doubts in his heart, he did not think deeply. In fact, after learning the news, Ma Ziqiang was also very surprised, and he is now planning to hurry back to the palace to see Zhang Juzheng and tell the other party the bad news.

But in fact, he obviously did it redundantly. Because just after returning to the cabinet from the court meeting, the news had been reported to him by Qin Gang, a confidant.

At that time, he was holding a teacup and tasting this year's new Ming Qian tea, and when he heard this, the whole person was stunned for a while, and he almost missed the best official kiln tea bowl on the table. But Rao is deep enough to make Taishan collapse in front of him without changing his face, but because he was too surprised, he put a mouthful of extremely hot tea in his mouth for a long time and let out a muffled snort.

Qin Gang showed his side as Zhang Juzheng's confidant at this time, even if he noticed that there was something wrong with the elder pavilion, he didn't have any reaction, he just stood there quietly with his head down, as if he hadn't seen anything.

And Zhang Juzheng, after a long while, made his tongue regain his senses, and his mind returned to this important event, and his face became extremely solemn: "Is it really what Li Ye did?" ”

"Judging from the current news from the Criminal Department, this should be the case."

"How dare he do such a thing! In vain, I have trusted him in the past few years and cultivated him carefully, and he actually ......" said, Zhang Juzheng's eyes showed a look of regret that hated iron and could not become steel.

If a person who is completely ignorant of the inside story hears this, he will only be moved by Zhang Juzheng's spirit of thinking for his subordinate officials and caring for his subordinates, and he will not have other thoughts at all. But as Zhang Juzheng's confidant, Qin Gang had an inexplicable chill in his heart in addition to his admiration for Zhang Ge's composure when he was dying.

Even in front of himself, Zhang Ge still has to do enough tricks, what a person who can hide his thoughts!

However, this kind of thought only flashed in his mind, and Qin Gang continued: "Li Ye, he really shouldn't have let down the elder of the pavilion, but now the elder of the pavilion, what you should think about is yourself." Everyone knows that Li Ye has always been the person you value, and now that he has done such a thing, I am afraid that it will make people with a heart think of something, which will be very disadvantageous to you! Since Zhang Juzheng himself refused to say it, only he, who was a subordinate, could point out the current situation.

Sure enough, after having his words as a step, Zhang Juzheng's expression became a little solemn, but he still emphasized first: "The clear person is self-purifying, what am I afraid of?" However, what Li Ye did was really wrong, and the cabinet, as the head of the cabinet, should really make a statement on this. In this way, in my name, you go to the Yamen of the Criminal Department to issue a warrant, so that they can find out the truth of the case as soon as possible, and don't worry about Li Ye's identity. Also, if possible, you should also go to see Li Ye and tell him about Benge's disappointment in him, hoping that he will have remorse. At this, he let out another soft sigh, as if he was very unacceptable to such a result.

"Xia Guan understands." Qin Gang hurriedly agreed. Of course, he understood that what Zhang Juzheng really asked him to do was not to convey the meaning of the cabinet, but the latter. As for what to say after meeting Li Ye, he already had a plan. And this kind of thing is all done by him, a cabinet member, out of the intention of sharing worries for the cabinet elders, and it has nothing to do with Zhang Gelao, who has a lot of opportunities.

Seeing that Qin Gang retreated after the meeting, Zhang Juzheng's expression became complicated after exhaling a breath of turbidity, and there was also a hint of worry in his eyes.

In fact, after Li Yezhen did something in the examination, Zhang Juzheng regretted it a little. This kind of thing is certainly beneficial to him, but once something goes wrong, the consequences are extremely serious. Unfortunately, by the time he tried to stop it, it was too late.

But in Zhang Juzheng's view, Li Ye has done a good job in this matter, and his hands and feet are clean, but he has a great possibility of success. Unexpectedly, such a strategy was still broken in the hands of Yang Zhen and Jin Yiwei. From this point of view, this Yang Zhen is really a difficult opponent, and Zhang Juzheng is even more worried about him.

Now, things have become such a state that he is even more uneasy. Although not many people will believe Li Ye even if he tells the truth, this kind of unfavorable rhetoric will definitely cause irreparable damage to his image. Especially now that the reform plan has come to the most critical juncture, and we must not allow the slightest omission, this matter has become particularly crucial.

"No, I can't let that happen. If Qin Gang fails to appease him this time, he can only use the method of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle. I hope I don't have to do it! After secretly making up his mind, Zhang Juzheng picked up the music at hand again and refocused his energy on political affairs.

At the same time, the brocade guard was full of joy. Although the results were confirmed as early as last night, it was not until today that they dared to believe that the person had been arrested, and they could only be convicted after being interrogated by the Criminal Department.

It's just that when his brothers were happy about this, Yang Zhen and a few others were not so happy, but had a trace of uneasiness: "Mr. Shen, how do you say he will deal with it this time?" ”

Although Yang Zhen didn't name the other party, Shen Yan knew that he was referring to Zhang Juzheng, so after a little thought, he said: "At least in the future, all he can do is to seal Li Ye's mouth." As for how to seal it, there are two methods......"

"Coercion him, or make him unable to open his mouth at all?" Yang Zhen asked abruptly.

"Exactly." Shen Yanzheng nodded: "Of course, the latter takes more risks, but it is the least worry-free." ”

"It seems that Mr. and I are almost on the same page, so if we want to deal with this, we must prevent them from trying to do things in the prison of the Criminal Department?"

Shen Yan nodded again, and reminded, "And quickly." Presumably now that the news has reached the palace, maybe Elder Zhang Ge has already reacted. ”

Yang Zhen's expression became more solemn, he raised his voice suddenly, and called outside: "Come on, go and call Ying Yang and Hu Ge to me." ”
