Chapter 507: Fire and Water (4)

After the hour, Yang Zhen came to the yamen of the Zhenfu Division as always, and the people in the yamen were almost here at this time, and they were all busy with the things at hand in high spirits. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the past, when Liu Shouyou was in power, everyone in the Zhenfu Division was superficial, and even at noon, he might not be able to reach Qi people. This is also something that can't be helped, after all, everyone knows that Jinyiwei is just a sign here, with no power and power, and there are not many errands, and it is not beautiful to do too many things, which will only arouse the suspicion of the East Factory. In this way, the Jinyi guards are naturally lacking in energy, and the errand is just coping with getting some salary.

But now, with the continuous expansion of Jinyiwei's power, it is enough to argue with the East Factory, and even when they all begin to press the East Factory, the errand people in the Jinyi Wei Yamen naturally come early without emphasizing it, and the things that have been explained have been done satisfactorily.

Seeing this scene, Yang Zhen had a satisfied smile in his eyes, and after passing in front of his subordinates who saluted him one by one and cast respectful glances, Yang Zhen finally came to his public house. He still only worked in the original town hall, and the larger command office was left empty to prevent some people from making irresponsible comments.

Yang Zhen had just sat down, and before he even took a sip of water, Shen Yan walked in with bloodshot eyes. As soon as he saw him like this, Yang Zhen smiled with concern: "What, Mr. Shen, didn't you rest much last night?" In fact, there are some things that don't need to be rushed, so don't get tired because of this. ”

"Thank you for your concern, but since you handed over the errand to the lower official, it is your trust in the lower official, and the lower official should do his best to get things done." As he spoke, he had already put a few documents on Yang Zhen's desk: "This is some evidence of Dongchang's evil deeds found by the lower officials, all of which were prepared in the Shuntian Mansion or the Yamen of Gyeonggi Daxing and Wanping Counties. ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Yang Zhen hurriedly reached out and took the documents, and looked at them casually: "I didn't expect that Mr. Shen, you moved so quickly, and you have found a lot of them in just a few days." ”

"It's also thanks to you, my lord. Shuntianfu has always owed favors to adults, so when the officials asked to look at their case files, they couldn't refuse. As for the two county officials, they dare not cooperate because our Jinyiwei has become more and more powerful recently. So what the lower officials did was nothing. Shen Yan said modestly.

"Mr. Shen is too polite, this is the case file of three pro-people yamen inside and outside the capital in the past five years, if I am asked to check it, I am afraid that I may not be able to check them all by next year." Yang Zhen smiled and said: "And sir, it only took you more than half a month to make such a list for me, if you don't have any credit, the other brothers in my brocade guard will really be disgraced." ”

said good things in his mouth, but Yang Zhen's eyes and hands did not stop for a moment, and quickly swept the paperwork in his hand. After a while, he frowned slightly: "Are they all lawsuits that bully the market, bully men and women, or fight and hurt people?" ”

When Shen Yan heard this, he knew what Yang Zhen meant in his words. Indeed, just these cases, don't look at them as serious among the people, but in fact, they are not a matter for people in the officialdom. Maybe when you lose power, these charges can make you irreversible, but it is simply unrealistic to want to use this to target Dongchang, especially Feng Bao.

So after hearing Yang Zhen's question, Shen Yan also smiled bitterly: "Yes, they are all the most common charges of oppressing good people." In fact, they dare to write down these cases truthfully, and they have a lot to do with it. Of course, I can guarantee that they must have committed more serious crimes, and they must have done nothing less than forcing people to die, but it is also impossible for such a case to really convict Dongchang. ”

Yang Zhen nodded lightly, he naturally knew this. In fact, when he planned to secretly collect the charges of Dongchang, he already knew that this road was not easy to follow, after all, if he wanted to hit Dongchang and Feng Bao hard, the charges found must be heavy enough. And such a crime, I am afraid that Dongchang will also try its best to cover it up.

"Anyway, these days are still hard for Mr. Shen." Yang Zhen said and put the official documents on the table: "If we can't find a better way for the time being, let's continue to use the previous method, it is a ...... to be able to attack Dongchang once" As he spoke, his eyes drooped again, falling on the top document, the case recorded on it was more inconspicuous than the others, and it was only because an official was involved that Shen Yan copied it.

Shen Yan didn't pay attention to what Yang Zhen was paying attention to because he was ashamed, but just smiled bitterly and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Xia Guan will definitely continue to look for available clues in the future." I don't believe it, their hands and feet are so clean that they can eliminate all the deadly things. ”

was interrupted by him like this, and Yang Zhen's strange feeling because of the case in front of him quickly subsided. And when Shen Yan withdrew and wanted to reorganize his thoughts, Xia Kai rushed over again: "My lord, something happened." ”

Seeing that he said solemnly, Yang Zhen put down the paperwork in his hand again, raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

After Xia Kai came in, he continued: "The people we sent out last night did not return all night. I don't want them to be sent to the criminal department today. ”

"What? You mean that they were sent to the Ministry of Punishment? Hearing this, Yang Zhen's eyebrows raised sharply, as sharp as two sharp swords out of their sheaths.

"Exactly." Xia Kai nodded: "I heard that they had a conflict with the guys from Dongchang last night, and they were finally taken down by the people from the Dongcheng Terracotta Division." As a result, somehow, they were sent to the criminal department again. My lord, do we have to send a message to the Criminal Department and tell them to release the people? ”

After a little silence, Yang Zhen laughed: "It seems that those who can sit firmly in the realm of the capital are not fools. It must be the guys from the Terracotta Division who knew that they couldn't do anything about it, so they threw the trouble to the Criminal Department. It seems that this time the matter is likely to be quite a mess. ”

"Huh? So what should we do? Xia Kai didn't care about the intentions of the Soldiers and Horses at all, and only thought about the safety of his brother, so he hurriedly asked again.

Yang Zhen smiled faintly: "I'm not in a hurry to get people back now." In fact, whether it is Dongchang or the Criminal Department, they all wish we could do this, and at this time, they asked someone, but they helped Dongchang. ”

"My lord, I don't understand this little one." Xia Kai frowned, puzzled.

"Do you think, if we ask the criminal department for someone, won't this matter be over? For Dongchang, they have been clamping their tails recently, and more things are better than less. And they have recently lost their momentum, they just want to ask for someone from the Criminal Department, and before we open our mouths, the Criminal Department will not dare to release them. Therefore, the most beneficial thing for us at this time is to leave this issue to the Criminal Department for the time being, and let the matter ferment well. Yang Zhen briefly explained his purpose.

Xia Kai nodded a little understandingly: "My subordinates understand." But will something happen to the Grehei and the others who are locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department? ”

"Don't worry, the Criminal Department has already seen the situation. When the three divisions were tried, they had the intention to remain neutral, and now our momentum is even greater than then, do they dare to offend us? A few of them in the prison of the Criminal Department can't suffer losses, let alone hardships. What we have to do now is to send them a paperwork, which is to tell the criminal department to judge impartially, and I want to see how this develops. Yang Zhen commanded.

"Yes! My lord, do we still need to send people to keep an eye on the East Factory like this? ”

"Pie, of course. Otherwise, it will weaken our own momentum. Not only do we have to send them, but we also have to send more people, and I want to let the Dongchang side know that our Jinyiwei is going to target them to death this time. It's better to force them to mess themselves up, and then things will be much easier. Yang Zhen said, the corners of his mouth curled, and a contemptuous smile appeared.

"Cheng, then I'll arrange for someone to continue to stare later." Xia Kai hurriedly nodded in response.

"And pass on the word to the brethren, that they should not be worried about anything because of what happened to them. No matter what tricks the Dongchang side does, I, the townman, will take them to resist it. Yang Zhen added. Although Jinyiwei is no longer comparable to the original, everyone is extremely angry, and they dare to fight hard with the people of Dongchang, but Yang Zhen is still worried that they will be timid because of the shadow of the past and this change, so he added such a sentence as if cheering.

"Yes, my subordinates understand!" Xia Kai nodded hurriedly, and then went out to arrange everything.

At the same time, the East Factory was also a little uneasy because of the news. Some people proposed to hurry up and fish out the people, and some people proposed to take the opportunity to fight openly with Jinyiwei. But when these voices reached Zhao Wuxian's head, they were sternly rejected by him.

Those people under his command may still have some luck mentality, feeling that Dongchang can still deal with Jinyiwei with the original power, and even suppress the prison department. But he Zhao Wuxian knows very well that now the East Factory can no longer make any mistakes, this kind of thing that can be done by only handing over a note on weekdays must not be done now, otherwise it will only give Jinyiwei an opportunity to take advantage of.

The only chance now is for Jin Yiwei to ask the dignitaries of the Criminal Department first, so that the reason is on the side of the East Factory. They can take the opportunity to accuse Jinyiwei of acting illegally, and they can also protect Yan Huai when they retreat. But judging from the current situation, there is no such movement on Jinyiwei's side, so things have become extremely tricky.
