Chapter Thirty-Eight: I Am Jinyiwei
According to the second hall of the prosecutor's office, it has become extremely solemn at this time, more than a dozen officials holding water and fire sticks are lined up on both sides, Luo Zhaonan sits on the top, and Zhao Rui sits at the bottom of the hand, acting as the clerk of this question.

In the shouts of the "mighty" of the officials, Luo Zhaonan slapped the shocked wood heavily and shouted: "Bring Yang Zhen to me!" "To be honest, he still felt a little awkward until this point.
Although as the official in charge of a provincial prison, he has tried many cases, but it is the first time that someone has reported to his door such a case as today. Not only Luo Zhaonan, but also those officials in the hall were also full of curiosity, looking at Yang Zhen, who was escorted up, they were all exchanging glances with each other.
In the face of such pomp, Yang Zhen did not flinch at all, only to see him calmly enter the hall, kneel down in his robe according to the rules, and kowtow: "Xiaomin Yang Zhen greets the adult." Fortunately, he was used to this kind of etiquette when he was on an errand in Jiangling before, and Yang Zhen didn't feel too much discomfort at this time.
Seeing that the complainant was only sixteen or seventeen years old, Luo Zhaonan was quite surprised in his heart, but after thinking about it, he was relieved, and only such a young and vigorous teenager who didn't understand the benefits at all would do such a thing. It's really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers.
sighed in his heart, but Luo Zhaonan's expression did not slow down a little, and he still said with a straight face: "You are making noise in front of our company, and even openly breaking into the yamen?" β
"Exactly, but Xiaomin is also forced to do this. I have grievances and want adults to call the shots......" Yang Zhen replied calmly, obviously having a good draft in his heart.
"Bold! If you have a grievance, you can tell the local pro-people official why you have to sue this official. Do you know that my criminal department yamen has never been subject to such cases? β
Yang Zhen then repeated what he had just said to Zhao Rui, explaining that the person he was suing was unusual, so he had to make this decision, and finally said: "As far as the people know, according to the rules of the inspectors, the adults have clarified the rules of the officials, since the people want to sue these officials, it is always good to report to the adults." β
"What a sharp-toothed man." Luo Zhaonan sneered: "You said that you want to sue Governor Hu, Ren, and Hua for lawlessness, do you have any real evidence?" Just that piece of paper, it's just your family's words, the official won't believe it, and the court won't believe it. When the time comes, you will be convicted of falsely accusing the court officials, and no one will say that you are wrong. β
Although his words seemed serious, he actually left a way for Yang Zhen to go, that is, to ask him to come up with evidence. Yang Zhen then took out the materials in his arms: "Since Xiaomin dares to come to sue, naturally he is not fabricated out of thin air. Here are the detailed records of these officials, as well as the evils of the Jiangling Zhang family over the years. Many of them are well documented, and adults only need to send someone to inquire about their authenticity. β
"Huh?" Luo Zhaonan's heart tightened suddenly, he didn't expect that this kid not only sued the three officials, but even the Zhang family. This Zhang family is even more difficult to mess with than Hu Lin, how can he have such courage to do this, is he really a bold person, or does he have other plans?
Yang Zhen presented these evidences on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also counted the contents of it, how several officials bent the law for personal gain, embezzled money, and reversed black and white; How did the Zhang family oppress the local goodness and seize money and land under the protection of these officials? Yang Zhen said everything very carefully, anyway, he had done enough homework before, and he was not afraid of making a mistake here.
The officials in the hall listened to him count the crimes of these people one by one, and gradually their faces changed a little, from the initial disdain for Yang Zhen to the heart of the same enemy. They are also ordinary people at the bottom, and they also know about the lawlessness of some officials and gentry above, and some even involve their own families or relatives and friends. In the past, they would only swallow their anger and not dare to have any ideas. And now, this young man is coming out one of them in front of everyone, making them feel as if he is speaking for himself.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall had become a little weird, Luo Zhaonan had no choice but to pat the hall and say, "Stay." Although what you say seems to be true, there is no evidence after all. If the ruler listens to your words and goes everywhere to inquire about you, where will the face of the government be placed? Also, seeing that you are only a weak crown at your age, how can you master so many things? Honestly, who taught you this? β
"Don't dare to hide it from adults, these evidences are indeed not checked by Xiaomin, but handed over to me by a person named Ding Fei. Xiaomin was also indignant after reading what was contained here, so he came here to complain! Yang Zhenlang said.
"Hah...... It turns out that you just read these words, but when you saw them with your own eyes? How can you be sure that these words are true? Isn't that Ding Fei lying to you? The official sees you as young and ignorant, but like a gullible person. Lord Luo sneered.
But Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "My lord is wrong, this Ding Fei won't lie to me." β
Why is that? Who is he, that you believe in him so much? β
"I've only met him once, and I can't say anything about friendship. It's something he gave me before he died, though. I believe that a person will not deceive people before he dies, let alone deceive people with such a big thing. β
Everyone in the hall was a little speechless for a while, some people felt that what he said was reasonable, and some people felt that it was just a pretext for this young man. But then Yang Zhen took out something, but they had to believe what he said, only to see him take out another token and say: "Ding Fei was seriously injured when he saw me, and he killed all the people who injured him before he died, and this token was found from those people." With that, he handed over the swarthy token again.
Luo Zhaonan took the card and only glanced at it, and his eyes shrank. He naturally knows the origin of this card, even if he doesn't know it, he can know it by reading the words: "Governor Iron Guard? You said it was the Governor Iron Guard who killed him? β
"Exactly. As Ding Fei said before he died, he was originally a personal guard of Governor Hu, so he could know many things that were not humane to outsiders. This time, he suddenly repented and took away some letters and other evidence of Governor Hu's dealings, and was chased and killed by the iron guards until he died. So if you really want to talk about it, Governor Hu still has to bear a charge of murder! Yang Zhen said as he spoke, showing a look of regret, pretending to be realistic.
"According to you, when there is more detailed evidence, why is it that this is just an account of the past?" Luo Zhaonan had already looked through these so-called evidences, and couldn't help but ask questions at this time.
"It's not that there are iron guards chasing and killing all the way, Brother Ding was injured again, and a lot of evidence was lost." Yang Zhen gave a reason. But in fact, these words are just manuscripts, and the real evidence has already been sent to the capital, and it is impossible for Tang Feng and them to hand over the real evidence to the government.
"Hmph, just like that, I want to make this official believe what you say, but I'm afraid it won't work out. Also, even if what you said is true, Yang Zhen, you have overlooked some important things. Luo Zhaonan looked at the so-called evidence in his hand and sneered: "First, there is still no substantive evidence to show that Governor Hu and other officials have any of the charges you mentioned; Second, it is a serious crime for you to trespass on the criminal division as a civilian; Third, the people sue the officials, and it is stipulated in our Great Ming Law that no matter whether the official is guilty or not, the people who denounce it will be guilty first. Come! Take him down for me, take the eighty boards seriously, and then make a calculation! β
Suing the officials with the people, the people are already guilty, this is a trick that Luo Zhaonan has already thought of to deal with Yang Zhen. And once the board is opened, whether the boy is dead or alive is completely in his thoughts. And the reason why he didn't have a seizure in the first place is that he is clever. He wanted to see whether Yang Zhen's so-called evidence of Hu Lin was true or false, and he was a little sure. If he could really bring Hu Lin down completely, he wouldn't mind helping this young man.
Although there is no grudge between him and Hu Lin like Zheng Fang, the governor sometimes inevitably stretches his hand too long, and when it comes to his jurisdiction, it is inevitable that there will be some pimples. In addition, if anyone does not want to have some great merits, and can find out the culpability of a governor, it is naturally a good political achievement for him, an envoy. So he kept talking to Yang Zhen with his temperament to see how much empirical evidence he could come up with.
But it's a pity that although this young man is talking lively, there is no substantive evidence, so there is naturally no need for him to dwell on it anymore. simply beat him to death, and then he can sell it in front of Governor Hu and the Zhang family. Of course, Luo Zhaonan also has another idea, maybe there is a character behind this young man, and in such a situation, the young Yang Zhen will definitely not dare to hide anything.
Sure enough, just when several officials stepped forward to press Yang Zhen down, I saw him suddenly stand up from the ground and say loudly: "Wait! There's something to say below. β
Lord Luo was waiting for this moment, and immediately motioned to everyone to suspend their actions: "What else do you have to say?" β
"Now, I don't hide it anymore. In fact, they are not ordinary people, so there is no such thing as suing officials by the people. Yang Zhen said, and took out another brand from his arms, which was the waist card of the brocade guard that was found from Ding Fei that day.
Fortunately, Tang Feng and the others did not search him, so Yang Zhen always carried it. It's time to take it out and use it. Tang Feng and the others only regarded Yang Zhen as a chess piece that could be discarded at any time, in order to stir up the matter of accusing Hu Lin and the Zhang family. But Yang Zhen is not willing to be just an outcast, he also has to fight for his own safety!
After showing the waist card to everyone around him clearly, Yang Zhen said word by word: "Actually, I am a secret agent of Jinyiwei on the ground of Huguang. Who would dare to say that I am suing the government with the people? β
I found out that today is also a holiday, and it is said that the May Fourth Movement only happened because of the May 1st holidayγγγγγ So I wish you all a happy Youth Day!!!
