Chapter 508: Who is the murderer? (below)
"Erlang, do you see any clues?" Seeing that Yang Zhen's expression was different, Zhong Yu hurriedly asked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since the other party was the victim of this attack, of course Yang Zhen had no need to hide it, so he lowered his voice and said, "I thought that this matter was probably not coming at you, Lord Zhong, but at me." ”
"Coming at you?" Zhong Yu was a little surprised, it was himself who was attacked, why did he say this?
Yang Zhen nodded very convincingly: "Exactly." If what I expected, they should be from Dongchang! ”
"East Factory?" Zhong Yu's expression was stunned again, and at the same time, he asked in disbelief: "Erlang, you said that, but is there any substantial evidence?" He was very aware of the contradictions between Yang Zhen and Dongchang, so it was easy to think that Yang Zhen was using the topic to deal with Dongchang.
Of course, Yang Zhen can guess the other party's thoughts, but he doesn't think it's wrong, anyone who knows the inside story will have suspicions in this regard. However, he really had a certain judgment: "Lord Zhong, think about it, since they dare to do such a thing, will they not be wary of being exposed by you?" And they haven't really killed you afterwards, even if they have confidence in themselves, they don't dare to take this risk, right? But these people are good, and they are still carelessly wearing the thin-soled boots of the government, isn't this a self-confession? So I think there must be something strange in this, it must be that they don't usually wear these boots, so they dare to show them when they are doing this, so that even if you or someone else sees it, it will not do them any harm, but it can play a role in diverting attention.
"As far as I know, there are more white boots in the East Factory, not the thin-soled fast boots that are used to wearing in the public, so I think this is a trick they use to hide their identity. In addition, in terms of the skillful techniques of arresting and tying people, Dongchang is also very suitable for these characteristics.
"Moreover, I really can't understand which yamen in this capital would do such a thing, and what good can it do to them? I don't think it's the people from the Ministry of Industry who take this risk for self-protection, right? It's Dongchang, but it's very likely to do this, but their target is not you, Lord Zhong, but me.
"I think that after the last incident, Dongchang must have been unwilling, and must have secretly sent someone to monitor me. I found out that I had suddenly come to see the adults at night, and although they didn't know the purpose, they could roughly judge that the matter was urgent. Seeing you hurrying out of the house after seeing me, I felt that there was a great mystery in it. In order to cause me trouble, they attacked Lord Zhong at night, so that you could not hurry to the palace in time. Master Zhong, I wonder if you still agree with my analysis? ”
After listening to Yang Zhen's analysis, even Zhong Yu unconsciously admitted that his judgment was based and reasonable. If it was really Dongchang's doing, they must have done it without knowing it, just thinking about embarrassing Yang Zhen, and it was only because of their identity that the other party did not make a ruthless move. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that this statement was reasonable.
However, after muttering for a while, he still shook his head: "Even if what you said is not a problem, but this is just speculation after all, don't use this as an excuse to start a war with Dongchang again, now that the flood in the capital has just subsided, it is really chaotic." At least until you have substantial evidence, I still think you shouldn't have another incident. ”
Yang Zhen looked at Zhong Yu's solemn and serious thin face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is a good official who is really dedicated to the country and the people. I saw that he also nodded and said: "I naturally understand this truth, although I am seven or eight points sure that this matter was done by Dongchang, but this time they did it very cleanly, so even I can't use legal channels to settle accounts with them." ”
"That's good. Erlang, don't be rash, everything should be based on the overall situation in front of you. If this matter is really done by those people in Dongchang, they will always show their feet, and it will not be too late for us to take action at that time. When Zhong Yu saw him say this, he was very relieved and comforted again.
Yang Zhen just smiled faintly and nodded in agreement. It's just that what he has in mind, Zhong Yuke may not be able to see through it.
Although this suspected attack on Zhong Yu by Dongchang has brought endless troubles to the capital, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Yang Zhen. Not only was he regarded as a benefactor by several yamen such as Shuntianfu because he forcibly saved many officers and soldiers who were still on the embankment before the flood came, but his brother Yang Chen was even more prominent in this flood, so that the officials and people in the capital knew that there was such a good official who knew water hydraulics well, but he had been pressed by others before, so he had no chance to get ahead.
In this way, there are many voices of grievances between the government and the opposition for Yang Chen. In people's most simple theory, if the old men of the Ministry of Industry had listened to Yang Chen's advice earlier, there would have been no disaster at all, so in terms of it, he is more capable than dozens or hundreds of officials in the Ministry of Industry. As a result, from time to time, some people in the court asked the imperial court to promote this small chief and let him preside over the future water control work inside and outside the capital.
Although Yang Chen's position is still only a small seven-grade master, after seeing the various deeds he has made in the aftermath of the flood and the merits he has made, the officials in the DPRK and China are very clear that his promotion is only a matter of time, and once the flood completely subsides and the people live in peace again, Yang Chen's official position will have to change significantly.
The reason for this judgment was not only because of his outstanding performance, but also because the courtiers knew one thing, and Yang Chen was able to stand out, all because he was valued by Zhang Gelao. And there is also gossip that Yang Chen is still a fellow villager of Zhang Gelao, and he is also a native of Jiangling County, Jingzhou Prefecture, Huguang, so everyone dares to pat their chests and guarantee that it will not be long before this Yang chief will have his own place in the court.
Of course, at least at this stage, the benefits obtained by the Yang brothers in the flood are still only a few illusions, and they have not yet been completely transformed into visible benefits. But even if that's all there is to them, it's already a bad sign for some of the people they have had a holiday with.
The people in the East Factory were very unhappy because Yang Zhen was in the limelight in this flood. But the facts are in front of them, they have not made any contribution to this matter at all, and even secretly added to the chaos, even if they are not angry, they are helpless, but they are a little afraid that what they have done will be found out by Yang Zhen, a shrewd guy.
Yes, as Yang Zhen judged, he attacked Zhong Yu at night that day, causing him to be unable to enter the palace in time, and the person who finally caused this disaster was the fan of Dongchang. It's just that it was not their factory father Feng Bao who made this decision, but Zhao Wuxian, the big head.
After being bullied by Yang Zhen several times before, and after suffering a big loss, he suffered a loss again in the trial of the three divisions and was reprimanded by Feng Baoyan, Zhao Wuxian understood that he was by no means Yang Zhen's opponent in terms of head-to-head confrontation. So Zhao Dajue decided to use some secrets to compete with Yang Zhen, in order to win back a city. However, because he was not too sure about this matter, he did not report it to Feng Bao in advance.
And when the eyeliner of the East Factory was sent to keep an eye on all the actions of Yang Zhen and Jin Yiwei, he really found out that night that Yang Zhen was hurrying to see Zhong Yu, and then Zhong Yu was in a hurry to go out.
In line with the principle of disgusting the enemy and being happy with himself, without much consideration and analysis, Zhao Wuxian ordered his subordinates to attack Zhong Yu's team and tied them up for the night. And when doing this, he was also very careful to let his subordinates replace the head of the East Factory, so as not to leave any substantive evidence to the other party.
It was only when the flood invaded the city later, Zhong Yu was rescued by Jinyiwei's people, and at the same time, it was revealed that Zhong Yu went out late at night because he wanted to enter the palace to solve the flood early, but he didn't want to be kidnapped and attacked, Zhao Wushu and others were a little panicked.
They didn't know that there was such a shocking truth. And now, it is because of a wrong decision made by himself and others in order to block Yang Zhen that the capital was flooded by the Yongding River, and hundreds of people lost their homes and even their lives.
Now that Yang Zhen's reputation is growing because of this incident, the threat to them is a little greater. You must know that Yang Zhen is famous for being able to investigate cases in the capital, if he is really asked to find himself because of some clues, whether it is Zhao Wushu or his subordinates, the fate will be extremely miserable, even Feng Bao will not be able to protect them.
At this time, the only thing Zhao Wuxian could do was to keep this secret, and at the same time, he strictly ordered those who knew about this matter not to reveal a word, even in front of Gonggong Feng, not to reveal a word. He felt that this was the only way to ensure his own safety.
But even so, Zhao Dajue, who had suffered losses under Yang Zhen's hands, still had some meaning of being frightened, and those under him were even more unbearable. In the afternoon of this day, a henchman named Qin Lie ran over with a frightened face, and stammered a little at his own head: "Big head, something is wrong...... We attacked ...... that night."
As soon as his words came out, he was blocked back by Zhao Wuxian's extremely cruel gaze: "I gave the order a long time ago, don't mention this matter again, why don't you remember it for a long time?" ”
"Yes, yes, it's a small momentary urgency, forgetting the rules." Qin Lie hurriedly admitted his mistake, and then said with a bitter face: "When we were doing things that day, it seemed that there were still some flaws. Now the brocade guards are looking around for a man with a triangular scar on the back of his left hand, and they keep saying that this person has a lot to do with it. ”
"What?" As soon as he heard this, Zhao Wuxian's originally upright body suddenly bounced up from his seat, and his expression changed greatly......
