Chapter 35 Decision-making
In the past few days, Yang Zhen still stayed in that room, but this time it was of his own volition. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info because he needs to dive in and read the evidence carefully so that he can answer the questions when he faces the government in the future.
These pieces of evidence were all painstakingly obtained by Ding Fei over the past few years, including records of the specific time and figures of Hu Lin and other officials embezzling government money and food, as well as detailed accounts of some cases in which they shielded local gentry, harmed poor people, and arbitrarily adjudicated cases.
What is being watched now is a planting incident that made Yang Zhen even more frightened. The Tongcheng County Commander under the jurisdiction of Wuchang Prefecture was an upright official, not only did not collude with them, but also always quarreled with Hu Lin and other officials because of tax issues, and even threatened to report to the imperial court to expose their crimes.
So, Hu Lin and others took the lead and wrote to the court together to impeach this county order for corruption, not to mention that he harbored and connived at the White Lotus Sect in the territory. After some manipulation, this county order was not only dismissed, but also found to have colluded with the White Lotus Sect and was convicted of death.
Rao is Yang Zhen is a human being in two lives, and he knows that the officialdom is dark, but after seeing this, he still has a feeling of anger and indignation. Everything recorded here is the story of the blood and tears of an innocent person and an ordinary family, and it does not need to be embellished, it is enough to make every person with a conscience feel angry. What's more, Yang Zhen still has the thoughts of a hot-blooded teenager in the depths of his soul.
"A mouth full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, a belly full of male thieves and prostitutes, that's what these officials are talking about. For them, the Lebanese people under their rule are nothing more than tools to add to their political achievements, and they will not hesitate to destroy them if they conflict with their own interests. Thinking about these things in his mind, Yang Zhen's reading speed did not decrease at all. The more he looked, the more he hated to be able to lift a knife to kill Hu Lin's yamen and cut him in two.
After looking and thinking about it like this, Yang Zhen's vigilance was much less, and it wasn't until Tang Feng pushed the door in that he suddenly realized: "Tang Baihu? Do you have something to say here? ”
Tang Feng saw him looking at the information so seriously, and a smile appeared on his face: "In the past few days, you have also read a lot of evidence, I think you should have a comprehensive plan, right?" "This is Yang Zhen who is here to take the exam.
Yang Zhen smiled indifferently, poured a cup of tea for Tang Feng, and motioned for him to sit opposite him before moving the materials in his hand forward: "If you want me to say, just by making these things public, it is enough to make these officials drink a pot." If you add in the actions of your Jinyi guards in the capital, their situation will only be more difficult. ”
"That's what you really think?" Tang Feng took a cup and wanted to drink, and when he heard him say this, he put it back again, and said with a smile.
"If you just want to embarrass them, that's enough." Yang Zhen then became serious: "But it is indeed difficult to rely on these to get the imperial court to remove their officials, and even further convict them." ”
"If it is Taizu and Chengzu Dynasty, just these are enough to make Hu Lin and these officials die ten times." What Tang Feng said is also the truth, Zhu Yuanzhang decided that if the corruption reached sixty taels, he had to peel the skin of daylily, but now that the Ming Dynasty has been established for two hundred years, the rules of the ancestors have long been destroyed. After sighing, he added: "But now these charges can only embarrass them, or they are reprimanded by the imperial court." There's a big backer behind them! ”
Yang Zhen nodded: "So in the past two days, I have been thinking about how to make them unable to borrow the momentum of the first assistant of the cabinet." Only in this way can they not escape a just trial! ”
When Tang Feng heard this, his eyebrows and eyes were raised: "Have you thought of it?" ”
"I thought of it. It's just that I'm afraid you won't dare to do that. ”
"Is there anything else in this world that we Jinyi Guards dare not do?" Tang Feng said disapprerovingly.
But Yang Zhen's next words really made him unable to refute: "In the Art of War, it is said that the thief captures the king first." If you want Hu Lin and other Huguang officials to be unable to borrow, you have to teach Zhang Juzheng to take care of himself first. As long as the Zhang family is associated with their various evil deeds, it is enough to make it impossible for Lord Shoufu to come forward to defend them. But there is one thing that I think is very strange, why is none of this evidence related to the Zhang family? Even I know that Hu Lin has a great relationship with the Zhang family, presumably in the past few years, he has done a lot of evil for the Zhang family, right? ”
Tang Feng was silent at that time, he really didn't expect this young man to see at a glance that these evidence were missing, and he also made such a suggestion. This was something he hadn't thought of before, but now that he thought about it, he felt that it made sense.
Seeing that he was silent, Yang Zhen took advantage of the situation and continued: "If my expectations are correct, the real purpose of your doing this is also to go to Zhang Taiyue, right?" But it is precisely this idea that makes you dare not really target the Zhang family, for fear of attracting a counterattack from Lord Shoufu. I don't know if I'm right? ”
Tang Feng once again felt that he still underestimated this young man, he actually even saw this, it was indeed amazing. There is nothing to hide now, anyway, he already has chips in his hand, so he said: "You guessed right, we did this series of things because of this." ”
"If you want to do it, you can do it happily, and it is difficult to get something from looking ahead and looking backwards. In my opinion, if you want to completely defeat Hu Lin and others, you must bring the Zhang family in. So if you want me to come forward and make a first accusation, you have to hand over the hidden evidence to me, otherwise it's just a small fight, and it won't be possible! ”
Tang Feng stared at the teacup in front of him, but his mind was constantly calculating, weighing the pros and cons. This is not a trivial matter, not to mention the success or failure of this operation, but also related to their future and even life and death, he can't help but be cautious. Once Yang Zhen acts on his advice, even Beijing's actions will change. In this way, they will not only face a counterattack from local forces, but also a thunderous method from the cabinet chief. Will they, and those behind them, be able to withstand and hide?
Yang Zhen was not in a hurry to ask for an answer, but just took a long time to sip the tea in the cup and wait for the other party's decision.
After a long time of half a pillar of incense, Tang Feng's face suddenly lifted, and there was already a decisive look on it: "Since you want to do it, you can do it with a big ticket, so that people can know the ability of our Jinyi Guard!" As you said, bring the Zhang family in! ”
"Then there is at least a fifty percent chance of winning this matter!" Yang Zhen said with a smile, he felt that with Tang Feng's style of acting, he would accept his proposal.
Tang Feng glanced at him, suddenly thought of something, and said vigilantly: "You didn't borrow a knife to kill someone, right?" Want to use our power to avenge your own family? ”
Yang Zhen didn't have the slightest panic to try to be exposed: "It's just that it just happened to catch up, Tang Baihu doesn't need to be so suspicious." Besides, don't I have to do the work here? Offending the Zhang family to death, what good can I do except vent my evil anger. ”
"I hope you're not duplicitous. I also hope that what you said is indeed valid, otherwise your brother Yang Chen will suffer. Tang Feng finally reminded with a slight threat.
"Could it be that my eldest brother has been rescued from prison by you?" Hearing the song and knowing the meaning of elegance, Yang Zhen asked with joy on his face: "Has he arrived in Wuchang?" When can I see him? ”
"That's the second purpose of my visit, he can enter the city tomorrow, you can meet him then, and then I want to denounce Hu Lin and them. After you have done this, we will give you back. ”
"Good!" Yang Zhen knew that this was a condition for the other party to let him out, so he had to acquiesce to their method.
After reading the rest of the materials about the Zhang family, Yang Zhen officially left the courtyard of Jinyiwei's stronghold the next day. Before he left, Qian Sizhong returned the package that he had withheld that day, and there was a lot of gold, silver, and money in it.
Yang Zhen took it, and Qian Sizhong suddenly asked again: "Where did you get the money in this bag?" ”
Yang Zhen smiled and did not answer the question. In fact, there is no need to shy away from it, just look at the many gold, silver and silver tickets contained in it, but it can be launched that he can't have, and it must be from the wrong way.
Of course, Qian Sizhong didn't mean to pursue it, but just reminded kindly: "It's okay for you to use those silver tickets, but it's best not to show the whole ingot of silver." ”
"Why is that?"
"This is official silver, a discerning person will know at a glance that it is not a circulating thing in the market, be careful that someone accuses you of the crime of stealing the treasury."
"Oh......" Yang Zhen pressed the protruding silver ingot in the bag with his hand, and Yang Zhen was thoughtful.
Leaving this time, I don't have to climb over the wall like when I came, because the eyeliner that was laid at the mouth of Luosi Alley is no longer there. After several days of staring, they couldn't catch a single suspicious person, so naturally it was impossible to stay here forever. Yang Zhen walked out of Luosi Alley accompanied by Ma Feng, walked all the way, and walked through half of Wuchang City to a small courtyard located in the south of the city, which was another foothold of Jinyiwei.
Yang Chen was taken here by Wei Changdong to recuperate, and when he saw Yang Zhen and them coming, Wei Changdong just took a look, and stayed outside with Ma Feng to guard, giving the courtyard to the Yang brothers.
At this time, Yang Chen was walking slowly in the not hot sunlight of the autumn morning. Perhaps because of the shackles that made him walk a little slowly. And his face is much better than when he was first released from prison, but in Yang Zhen's opinion, he is still haggard and weak. He couldn't help but step forward and shouted, "Big brother, you have suffered!" ”
"Huh?" Yang Chen looked at Yang Zhen for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Second...... Jiro ......" also seemed a little sluggish in his reaction.
Yang Zhen didn't feel even more bad in his heart, he didn't expect his brother to be tortured so badly in prison, would this be the root of the disease?
Being looked at by his brother's concerned gaze, Yang Chen couldn't help but shrink, and then said, "I'm fine, don't worry." Thanks to you this time, I was able to come out so quickly, otherwise ......"
"Big brother, don't say that, brother should help you. And this time I didn't follow your previous instructions, and I ask my eldest brother for forgiveness! Yang Zhen came to a chair with his brother in his arms and asked him to sit down, and then said with self-blame: "I gave the land in Nancheng to the Zhang family." ”
