The situation suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse after the eighteenth day of the lunar month, which caught everyone in Jinyiwei, including Yang Zhen, off guard. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At that time, the battle between them and Dongchang had become more and more intense, and both sides made their own open and secret moves, conspiring and conspiring, just wanting to suppress each other. Although the morale of Jinyiwei was high under the leadership of Yang Zhen, Dongchang was not to be outdone, relying on the heritage accumulated for a long time to block Jinyiwei's offensive.

However, in this seemingly balanced situation, Yang Zhen has gradually found a breakthrough - under some light and darkness, he found another sharp weapon that can directly hit Feng Bao and Dongchang: Feng Bao's nephew Feng Bangan.

This Feng is in the mansion, and he is almost a young man who is trained as a son, and he is also a young man who can run rampant in the capital. But I don't know if he had already been ordered by Feng Bao's ear, or if his nature was not bad, Feng Bangan hadn't done anything out of the ordinary, let alone been found out of anything wrong by Jinyiwei.

But such a person, under the careful evidence of Jinyiwei for nearly a month, also showed a fox's tail. That's right, he was indeed very peaceful after coming to the capital, and he rarely participated in the necessary entertainment, but he was not so peaceful when he was in his hometown, and he also killed people because of the battle of will. Although this matter was resolved because of the intervention of Feng Bao, a big man, the bitter master was still there, and the officials at that time were still in power, so it was naturally not too difficult for Jinyiwei to pursue it.

So on December 17, after collecting enough evidence, Yang Zhen ordered someone to hand all this to the Yamen of the Criminal Department, although the person who came forward was not Jinyiwei's, but he believed that at this juncture, the Yamen of the Criminal Department did not dare to cover it up. And as long as a gap is opened, it becomes logical to deal with the East Factory next.

But the facts greatly surprised Yang Zhen, and when these pieces of evidence were submitted, they were like stones sinking into the sea, and there was no news in a blink of an eye. Even the witness who went to the criminal department to cry out for grievances lost his message after entering there, as if such a person had never existed or entered.

"How so?" When Yang Zhen heard the report of his subordinates who watched all this, he was also stunned: "It stands to reason that at this time when we are fighting with Dongchang, if other yamen encounter such things, even if they dare not participate too much, they have to behave fairly, how can they make such a partial?" ”

"It's really weird." Shen Yan also nodded a little strangely in agreement: "As far as Xia Guan knows, when there was a dispute between the Lord and Dongchang before, this criminal department has always maintained neutrality, and at that time our momentum was not as good as it is now, why has there been such a change now?" ”

"No, we must send someone to inquire about the news and see what the attitude of the criminal department is." Yang Zhen was already faintly uneasy in his heart, and immediately made a decision.

But the situation obviously exceeded Yang Zhen's prediction again, and it was even worse than he imagined. When Jinyiwei's people seemed to have no intention and wanted to inquire about Feng Bangan's case, the Yamen of the Criminal Department only said that there was no such thing at all, and there was no such person who complained. After that, he was forced to ask by the people of Jinyiwei, and the other party also turned his face and drove people out mercilessly.

Now, the problem can be even more revealed, obviously the Criminal Department is on the side of Feng Bao and Dongchang for some reason, even if it may offend Jinyiwei because of this.

And when Yang Zhen and the others were still a little surprised by this sudden change, and at the same time didn't know how to deal with it, and regretted that they shouldn't have handed over such an important matter to other yamen, the situation deteriorated further.

When Jinyiwei and Dongchang had a conflict and fought before, although the major yamen in the capital were not very easy to interfere, after all, they were also responsible for it, and they always had to put on a show in front of the people, so there were also many people on both sides of the conflict who were taken down by the people of Shuntianfu or the Terracotta Division.

It's just that this side has just been taken, and it won't take half an hour for these people to be released again. After all, everyone knows that now Jinyiwei and Dongchang are incompatible, and these small yamen dare not provoke these two spy agencies, the only thing they can do is to maintain neutrality as much as possible, and the two will not help each other, nor will they be offended.

But soon after Feng Bang'an's incident, the situation changed. When Jinyiwei and Dongchang continued to fight, the government dispatched much faster and more decisively than before. And without saying a word, both sides of the war will be taken down. It's just that after that, they didn't release the people as quickly as before, Yang Zhen sent people over to negotiate, and they only said that the law of the country was in front of them, and they didn't dare to be partial.

At the beginning, Jin Yiwei didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, thinking that it might be that the major yamen felt that they had acted a little too much recently, and wanted to use this means to warn themselves. But then a piece of news came and let them know how serious the matter was.

I kept staring at the eyes of the East Factory and brought back the news that the people from the East Factory had already been released from the two sides of the conflict outside. At this moment, the Jinyi Wei people were a little dumbfounded, this is a few major yamen are helping Dongchang to fight against themselves.

And before Yang Zhen and the others could react, another even more shocking news quickly came back. Yan Huai, the fourth head of Dongchang, who was finally thrown into the prison of the Criminal Department because of the fight in the Green Yang Building, and his subordinates were released in a grand manner and returned to Dongchang. But none of the people on the Jinyi side came back.

At this time, the matter is already obvious, and the criminal department has completely fallen to Dongchang. No, not only the Criminal Department, judging from the current situation, several major public security and judicial yamen in the capital have already sided with Dongchang, which makes the situation of Jinyiwei extremely unfavorable.

Finally, after finding that the situation was getting worse step by step, Yang Zhen couldn't sit still, he knew that he had to do something. Go to the Ministry of Punishment to dignitaries? I'm afraid it won't work, he doesn't have any friendship with Liu Yingjie and other officials of the Criminal Department, and he has been given enough face by people who are willing to remain neutral before, how can he give him an explanation at this time? As for the Terracotta Division, the situation is also average, Yang Zhen has no friendship with them at all, and it is in vain to go, but it may be boring for himself.

In this way, the only one who can ask some origin from the mouth is the only one left by Suncheonfu.

On the twenty-first day of the lunar month, there were still a lot of snowflakes in the sky, but Yang Zhen still came to Shuntianfu in the wind and snow.

And even with his current identity, it took a lot of effort to see Sun Yizheng of Shuntian Mansion this time, and it took more than half an hour for Sun Yizheng to show up. But before Yang Zhen could introduce the topic, Sun Fuyin left under the pretext that he was busy with business in the yamen at the end of the year.

This result made Yang Zhen both angry and helpless, you must know that not long ago, he also helped Sun Yizheng a lot, saved many servants of Shuntian Mansion, not to mention, and fought the flood side by side with him. didn't expect that in just one or two months, he, Sun Yizheng, would turn his face and deny people like this.

But at this time, anger couldn't solve anything, and Yang Zhen had to prepare to leave stupidly. I didn't want him to just come out of the gate of Shuntian Mansion, and I saw a familiar figure in the alley on the other side glancing at him, it was Jing Zhankun, the official who had the best relationship with him in Shuntian Mansion.

This made Yang Zhen's heart warm, and he didn't expect that at this time, he still had a good friend who was willing to talk about it. So after looking left and right to make sure that there were no suspicious people around, he hurried over and met Jing Zhankun under the snow.

"Brother Jing, why did you want to meet me here? But is there any difficulty? Yang Zhen asked bitterly.

Jing Zhankun smiled a little guiltily: "Lord Yang, don't blame, in order to prevent the partition wall from having ears, the lower officials can only do this." In fact, when Xia Guan came to see you this time, he also served the meaning of my grandson's mansion Yin. ”

"Oh?" When Yang Zhen heard this, he didn't feel better in his heart, and it seemed that Sun Yizheng didn't completely ignore the previous friendship: "What happened here, why don't you even dare to talk to me publicly?" ”

"Being in officialdom, especially in places like the capital, for the sake of our own future, even if we don't want to, sometimes we have to do it according to our conscience." After a slight pause, Jing Zhankun continued: "As for the people in this Beijing city, who else can have the ability to make the major yamen do this at the risk of offending you, Yang Zhenfu and Jinyiwei, it shouldn't be difficult to imagine with your knowledge, right?" ”

Hearing this, Yang Zhen took a slight breath. Although he had already guessed that this was the reason, he could get the answer from the other party, which still made him a little nervous: "Zhang Juzheng, did he finally make a move?" But why did he choose this time, could it be that Dongchang and Feng Bao had been showing weakness before, in order to catch me off guard? ”

Seeing Yang Zhen's frowning and thoughtful appearance, Jing Zhankun also smiled bitterly. Now that Zhang Juzheng in the capital can be called an existence above 10,000 people, who of them dare not follow his wishes? So even if you feel guilty, for the sake of your own future, you can only do it.

After a little silence, he said: "Also, Lord Sun asked me to tell you a little bit, even when it is the New Year's Festival, our big yamen still have to watch the security in Beijing. If there is any conflict or something like that, we will intervene as soon as possible. ”

Although he didn't say it too bluntly, the meaning was clear. Yang Zhen smiled bitterly and was helpless, so he had to bow his hand to Jing Zhankun again: "Thank you Brother Jing and Sun Fuyin for telling the truth about the facts, and I know what to do." ”
