Chapter 463: Something Else (Part II)
"What did you say?" The two Hou Ye changed color and asked questions almost at the same time, their voices were both shocked and angry. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info even the two marquis are people who have seen a lot of big scenes, and they will react violently when they suddenly hear that their own nephews are involved in such a bad case.
Yang Zhen looked very indifferent, and after taking a sip of wine, he moistened his throat and said: "Xiaguan is saying that I have found out the truth, and the murderers who killed those five poor women are Gu Ming, Gu Lang and Chen Ding, that is, the two sons of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and the nephew of the Marquis of Taining." "Just break the words completely.
After talking about it, the two Hou Ye were no longer as impatient as before, and after looking at each other for a while, they shook their heads at the same time: "Yang Zhenfu has to have a limit to your jokes, this matter is not for jokes." ”
"As a Jinyi guard, how dare the person who was ordered to investigate the case make jokes about such things? This is the case, the three of them did do something heinous with Wu Qingbo's nephew Wu Liqing, and he is a witness. Speaking of this, Yang Zhen clapped his hands.
Hearing the greeting, the two subordinates of the Jinyi Guard walked in with Wu Liqing, who was depressed and cowering: "If the two marquis don't believe it, you can ask him to see if he is wrong in describing the appearance of the other three." ”
Without waiting for the two Hou Ye to speak, Wu Liqing had already described the appearance of his three fox friends in a trembling tone, and when he said this, Gu Huan's expressions became even more gloomy, and of course they could easily distinguish the appearance of their own sons and nephews. And Wu Liqing's last few words made them even more frightened: "There are ...... Gu Lang had a birthmark the size of a copper coin on the outside of his thigh, and Chen Ding also had a finger-thick red hemorrhoid on his left waist...... The villain had seen them take off their clothes that day......"
"These little beasts...... Gu Huan suddenly changed color, and slammed his palm on the case in front of him, which shook so much that the wine glasses and dishes on it were all jumping wildly, this time he just didn't believe it. Although as a father, it is really impossible for him to know whether his son has a birthmark on his thigh, but when he sees the other party talking about it, he can know that there is a good chance that this matter cannot be wrong.
And Chen Liangbi also had a gloomy face, and only after a while did he say hatefully: "These little things are really too ungrown, what are you not doing to do such illegal things, and you have caused human life, it's really a pity to die!" ”
Although these two marquis masters were full of anger and their tones were also very serious, Yang Zhen still saw the uneasiness and hesitation from the depths of their eyes, obviously thinking in their hearts was very different from what they said. Thinking about it, whether it is from the perspective of family affection or from the perspective of their own reputation, it is impossible for these two marquis to hope that this truth will be made public, otherwise the price they pay will be too great.
However, these two people are not stupid, just looking at today's posture, and Yang Zhen did not report it after finding out the truth, but invited the two of them to Wuqingbo's Mansion to talk about the matter, it can be seen that there is still a lot of room for this case to turn around. So after being angry for a long time, the two Hou masters stood up after glancing at each other, and gave Yang Zhen a deep salute: "Thank you Yang Zhenfu for telling the truth about this matter, and this Hou will take note of your kindness." ”
"The two marquis are too polite, the matter is serious, no matter how bold the officials are, they don't dare to report the results of this case casually." Yang Zhen saw that they had seen some clues, so he stopped holding it, and while signaling to take Wu Liqing out, he also got up and bowed in return, and then continued: "However, the situation of the lower officials and the two marquis may not be clear, this case was specially asked by Liu Dudu to investigate in order to make it difficult for me, so I have to give him an explanation." Otherwise, the lower official can pretend that nothing has happened. ”
"Oh? Did Liu Shouyou ask you to check? This is also the first time Wu Qingbo has heard Yang Zhen talk about this, and he unconsciously narrowed his eyes: "What is his intention here?" ”
"It seems to be aimed at the new subordinate to pacify Xiaguan, as for whether he has a deeper meaning, then Xiaguan can't guarantee it." Yang Zhen replied ambiguously.
Even so, the faces of the three nobles became a little unsightly, especially Wu Qingbo, who was even more gloomy. Many officials in Beijing knew that this matter was related to him before, and how could Liu Shouyou, as an official who had already obtained the case, not know the depths of it? And in this case, he still asked Yang Zhen to investigate the case, isn't this getting along with himself? As for the other two Hou Ye, they had similar thoughts in their hearts, feeling that they were involved in this case because they were all right, and it was Liu Shouyou's hands and feet, this guy was really a little annoying.
Seeing that the pit he had dug for Liu Shouyou was big enough and that there were enough enemies in the tree, Yang Zhen smiled bitterly again: "Actually, Xia Guan didn't expect that this case would bring out a few adults-when the case happened a few years ago, Xia Guan had been doing errands in Shanxi, and this matter must be clear to several people--Now it's really a little difficult to handle." Since Xia Guan took over the errand, he always had to have an explanation, so he dared to invite a few marquis here to discuss how to better solve this matter. After all, it is about the reputation of several people, and it is also related to the reputation of my court, no matter how bold the lower officials are, they will not dare to pull out the three of you and those sons. ”
When several people heard this, they saw that Yang Zhen's expression softened a lot, and they felt that he was indeed a sensible official and worthy of befriending. At the same time, several people also knew that the top priority now was to quickly give a strategy, which could not only help Yang Zhen get things over, but also not bring them worries.
But for a while, how could the three of them, who had suffered a lot of psychological shock, come up with a thoughtful method, so they turned their eyes to Yang Zhen again: "Yang Zhenfu, looking at your performance today, you should already have a good idea, right?" As long as you can give us a strategy, we can do what you want. ”
"Yes, Yang Zhenfu, we still trust you as a person, you say it."
Seeing the three of them like this, Yang Zhen was already happy in his heart, this time he still bet on himself, this is the most beneficial situation for himself. However, his face was still very solemn, and after a deep groan, he said: "Xiaguan does have a suggestion, but I don't know if the three marquis can accept it." ”
"You say......" Wu Qingbo immediately waved his hand cooperatively.
"In fact, earlier, some relevant officials found out that this case was related to Li Lu, the housekeeper of Wuqingbo's mansion, so the lower officials meant that this matter must no longer be hidden, so he was directly designated as the culprit, and then the two marquis also let a servant in the mansion admit that he was the murderer, so that the innocence of the princes was preserved. What do you think? Yang Zhen gave his opinion.
Of course, Wu Qingbo would not have any objections, but the expressions of the other two marquis changed a little: "This, don't the two of us still have to bear some infamy?" ”
"Exactly, but it's better than letting a few sons bear the blame, right? And this case has actually been leaked a long time ago, Wu Qingbo's side will definitely not be able to escape, do the two Hou Ye want Wu Qingbo to bear such a serious crime? Yang Zhen had expected that they would have this reaction, so he pulled Wu Qingbo out as a shield.
Sure enough, because of the identity of the other party's abbot, the two marquis really couldn't object to this proposal, but it was still difficult to accept this matter in their hearts, after all, their face would inevitably be greatly damaged.
Yang Zhen saw it, and continued: "In addition, there is another way for the lower officials, the lower officials will not come forward in this case, and all the crimes are discovered by a few Hou masters. It was a few people who discovered that their servants had some problems during the conversation, and after interrogation, they learned that they were actually the culprits in the Xiangshan case. Then the three marquis killed their relatives in the face of national law, and regardless of slander, they took these murderers and handed them over to the Yamen of Yousi. I wonder if you think this is acceptable? ”
"Huh?" Hearing Yang Zhen propose this method, the faces of the two marquis looked better. In this way, although they will still have some damage to their reputation, and they may also be said to be guilty of lax crimes, such acts of slander and righteous killing of relatives can still be appreciated by others. Moreover, in this way, the unsuccessful nephew in his family can be regarded as preserved, which is an acceptable proposal.
After weighing it for a long time, the two marquis had already made a decision in their hearts. But at the same time, they also had a question: "In this way, F Yang Zhen is busy with you in vain, which is really unsettling." ”
Yang Zhen waved his hand disapprovingly when he heard this: "The lower officials only want to be innocent, and don't take this credit." Moreover, being able to help a few Hou Ye is already a blessing for the lower officials, how dare they have other extravagant desires. ”
"You kid, you're pretty good at talking." Gu Huan was in a much better mood at this time, he said with a smile, and said: "But Ben Hou will not ask you to do so much for nothing, let's say, what can Ben Hou reward you." ”
"Yes, you Yang Zhenfu helped us so much, how can we treat you badly? Although I, the Marquis of Taining, am not too powerful, I can still help you in some places after all. ”
Yang Zhen could see that these two people said these words because they felt insecure in their hearts. Because in this case, he is the only innocent person, and if he, the Jinyi Wei Zhenfu, reveals this matter to the emperor or others, they will inevitably suffer greatly. Only by allowing yourself to have entanglements with their interests can you ensure your reliability.
And this is exactly what Yang Zhen wants to see, so after pretending to hesitate, he said: "Since the two Hou Masters have said so, then Xia Guan really needs the help of the two Hou Masters in some things." At this point, a strange glint flashed in his eyes.
