Chapter 215: Cross-examination (II)

"Holy."

Zhu Youzhen ate the rice porridge that had just been cooked in the morning, accompanied by some sour plums, which tasted sweet and sour and appetizing. He glanced at Zhu Qi and said, "Uncle Huang, come and sit." Freshly served rice porridge. ”

"The minister will not drink. Shengshang, I guess after listening to the news below, you can't drink this millet porridge. Zhu Qi chuckled. Zhu Youzhen took the spoon and blew, "Oh? What could make me unable to even drink the porridge? ”

"From last night to early this morning, Yang Fan has wiped out the nine major clans and the Qing Gang in Shanxi, totaling more than 1,500 people. The most miserable Chang Wentian's family of more than 160 people, except for Chang Wentian, all died. ”

Click.

The spoon fell into the bowl, and Zhu Youzhen's jaw was about to fall off in surprise, "More than a thousand people died?" Impossible! He was still worried that Yang Fan was afraid of offending too many people, so he didn't dare to let go of his hands and feet, and missed those people by mistake, but he didn't expect Yang Fan to kill the whole family overnight, how much hatred is this?

"Absolutely." Zhu Qi's face was very natural, as if more than a thousand people had died, and it was okay to be fine.

Syllable!

Zhu You was so angry that he got up and said angrily: "How dare he, Yang Fan, be so bold!" He killed more than a thousand people at will without my permission, did he really hand over the Jinyi Guard to him, and dare to abuse his power like this? Zhu Youzhen was so angry that when he spoke, he even squirted out the rice porridge he had just drunk.

Zhu Qi smiled a little gloatingly, "Isn't this the Holy One, you personally promised him?" It is said that let go of the courage to do it. In Weichen's opinion, Ling Hebo has done your will very well. ”

"I ...... I...... Is that what I meant to be? Yes! I asked him to arrest the main culprit for me to set an example. Now that he's killed them all, didn't he make the world think that I was a tyrant? Those officials and Confucian scholars are going to say that I am not sympathetic to the people's livelihood. Now he has used Jinyi Wei to kill more than a thousand people, and this time when he returns to Beijing, he must not let those trolls turn the sky upside down! ”

"This is not something for the Holy One to consider."

"Isn't that what I'm going to think about? The matter is so big, it is estimated that when he returns to Beijing this time, his Yang Fan's head will be lost. Zhu Youzhen was so angry that his chest fell together.

"yes, that's what you have to think about. Wechen will not give you any advice, as the king of the Ming Dynasty, no one can dictate your will. So. You have to have your own opinions, and you have to consider weighing the benefits, which is the emperor's mind. When you will be able to apply this Imperial Mind to perfection, you will find out. In fact, as a king, you don't have to be diligent every day to govern the kingdom well. ”

"This is what Uncle Huang told me when I ascended the throne. The upper one, hang your hands and rule; Middle. Hard; The next one, delegate power and immorality. I think I can't be like the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, I rule with my hands, the world is peaceful, and I am diligent in government every day, and I can be regarded as living up to the teachings of my uncle. ”

"The Holy One has tormented the Ministers. The minister just wants to revive the glory of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"What Uncle Huang means, I now want to settle the matter and show the emperor's grace, but also let Yang Fan get the credit he deserves, right?" Zhu Youzhen squinted. I seem to be thinking about this question that I have raised.

"Holy Wisdom! However, if you have a foreign surname and a knighthood, you still have to be cautious and cautious. At the beginning, Taizong divided the heroes, and in the end, those who were recovered were taken back, and those who couldn't be recovered were also recovered. Qinggonglou is on fire, the damned are dead, and the unworthy are dead. This is the decisiveness that an emperor should have, and he must not be a woman's benevolence. These gangs and families are all treasonous people. Even if the whole tribe is destroyed, it will not be pity. Therefore, the Holy One does not need to have any burden. They deserve to die. ”

Zhu Youzhen squinted his eyes, as if thinking about something.

……

Quyang County Hall. Bo Shucheng, who was sitting in the main hall, was a little embarrassed. Whichever one sits on either side today is enough for him to drink a pot. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Today, Duke Liang, Duke Zhang, and the lord are all in the hall, and someone Bo is sitting in the main hall and looks a little noisy." ”

Liang Hongcheng, who was drinking tea, glanced at Yang Fan on the other side and said, "Bo County Order doesn't have to be like this. This is Quyang County Ya. This is your court, and it is the right place to sit here. I just don't know if Lord Yang wants to come to this hall to sit down, what is the so-called thing? ”

Yang Fan held the handle of the embroidered spring knife in one hand and said, "Naturally, let's talk about the Jinyi Wei who died in the gang brawl a few days ago." ”

Bo Shucheng glanced at Liang Hongcheng. Seeing that he nodded casually, he said, "This matter has been reported to the imperial court." The Tiger Shark Gang gathered a crowd to fight, disturbing the peace, resulting in the death of ten Jinyi guards lurking in the Green Gang. The Tiger Shark Gang has now been wiped out. ”

"So, the Tiger Sharks did it?"

"Yes."

Yang Fan scolded mercilessly: "What nonsense! This Tiger Shark Gang and the Green Gang were fighting, and it was so coincidental that ten people from this brocade guard died? ”

"Uh...... There must have been other casualties, but it was these people who reported it to the yamen. Bo Shucheng said vaguely. This matter can still be prevaricated, this gang fight, no one can say clearly, and you can't ask the yamen to investigate everyone in detail.

"Oh, really?" Yang Fan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then may I ask Bo County Order, where is the scene of the crime?" ”

"This ......" Bo Shucheng dragged out an epilogue, damn it, who knows where his Qing Gang moved, "Master Huang, where is the crime scene?" ”

"Huh? This ......" was startled by Master Huang, and God knows where to move, so he couldn't say clearly. Liang Hongcheng on the side twisted his beard and said unhurriedly: "Gang fights are always in the streets and alleys. It's just that when the officers and soldiers arrived, they found ten corpses on the ground, and the gangs involved in the brawl had all run away, and it was impossible to determine which street they were fighting. ”

In ancient times, it was not as complicated as it is now. The murderer, human and physical evidence, sometimes the verdict is made just by the judgment of the county official. Therefore, there are many unjust and wrongful cases. There are not a few people who have done things in a hasty way like this. Yang Fan smiled coldly, knowing that this Liang Hongcheng was pretending to be confused, and asked again: "It seems that I can't ask anything today." But the last question, why did the government arrest the murderers and only exterminate the Tiger Shark Gang, but let the Green Gang act recklessly? ”

Zhang Zeduan, who had been silent, finally waited for Yang Fan to ask this sentence, and replied calmly: "This lord may not know the reason. This Tiger Shark Gang has always been entrenched in the mountains of Chengguo, in addition to operating Cao Yun on the surface, secretly it is the remnants left by the original thieves, and the court has issued official documents several times to edict An, but to no avail. This time, he will be ruthless and kill him. As early as a month ago, the Green Gang had been Zhao'an, compiled in the Taiyuan group training, in case of rogues, if the lord does not believe it, you can take a look at the roster in Taiyuan Mansion, which is recorded. ”

Yang Fan smiled coldly and said, "Oh, that's really unfortunate, I killed them all today." ”

These words were very joking, which made several people in the hall tremble. They didn't know what was going on in the alley, so they thought they had just captured a few leaders and dispersed the gang. I didn't expect Yang Fan to be so ruthless, and he actually killed all the Green Gang! (To be continued.) )
