Chapter 82 Chickens Fly and Dogs Jump

Jin Shang proposed that he hoped that Yue Su could delay the retrial for two days, and if Yue Su still decided to try it after two days, they would definitely confess truthfully. Looking at their fearless appearance, Yue Su expected that behind the Jin merchants, there would definitely be big backers to come forward. Yue Su also wanted to see who their backer was, so he agreed.

Then, Yue Su ordered a cadre of prisoners to be detained on the spot in the governor's line, Liao Fei, Xu Guangda, Liu Zhenyou, and Wen Tiecheng did not need to be detained, and the soldiers and horses in Zhangjiakou were still seized by Liao and other merchants' goods stores. Send someone to Taiyuan as soon as possible, and send a letter to Liu Ce, the governor of Shanxi, asking him to watch all the homes of these Jin merchants, and not one of them can escape. also secretly sent a letter to Wu Rumeng, the general judge of Taiyuan, and told him to watch carefully. The soldiers and horses brought by Cui Jingrong and Mi Zhihuan were temporarily handed over to Wu Sinan to manage, and they were camped outside the city and were not allowed to move.

There are thousands of soldiers and horses brought by these two, especially Cui Jingrong's guards, which can be called elite, no matter what, he is also the governor of Xuanda, managing the border town, the best soldiers and horses, naturally in his hands. But a soldier is a soldier, and he didn't have the courage to go against the court, Yue Su asked Wang Yuanhua to accompany Wu Sinan to read out the charges of Cui Jingrong and Mi Zhihuan, and the soldiers naturally behaved when they heard this.

That night, after dinner, Yue Su asked Wu Sinan and Jiang Jie to go to the study to discuss matters.

The three of them sat down in the study, Yue Su sat on the top, Jiang Jie and Wu Sinan started, Yue Su first politely said two sentences, and then went straight to the point.

"Lord Wu and Mr. Jiang, who seized the stolen goods of the Jin merchants, and found out the evidence of the crimes of the generals of Xuanfu and Datong who ate empty quotas and drank the blood of soldiers, which can be regarded as a complete merit. It's just that in the end, Jin Liangyu asked me to wait for two more days, and I concluded that it must be the big man behind them who will come forward to find me and intercede for them. But this case involves collaborating with the enemy, which is a crime of extermination, and this official will never be soft. Those Jin merchants also have eyesight, and they should be able to see that the officials will not tolerate them, but looking at their appearance today, they are indeed in their chests. In this way, there is a very remarkable person behind them, you can help me guess, who will it be? Yue Su first threw bricks and jade, wanting to hear the analysis of these two, "Lord Wu, you speak first." ”

Let Wu Sinan say it first, it is also Yue Su's investigation of Wu Sinan.

"My lord, the lower officials think the same as the adults, behind the Jin merchants, there must be someone, the Jin merchants dare to sell military supplies, the officials in the capital have to deal with it, and the power of the backers is definitely not small. &.%%.Fastest update**If there is a big one, the next official can think of those nobles and the father-in-law. However, it is unlikely that the grandfather of the country is very likely, because these Jin merchants smuggled military supplies in Zhangjiakou a few years ago, and the grandfather of the country only entered Beijing after the death of the first emperor. If you remove the grandfather of the country, the rest is the nobles, but the lower officials believe that the Jin merchants will never expect these nobles to intercede for them, Lord Yue is resolute and resolute, who dares to intercede, and the nobles will never participate in the smuggling of military supplies, at most they will receive their silver. For Xungui, receiving some silver is nothing, there is no need to risk the adults to intercede with them here, causing a lot of trouble, with this kung fu, enter the palace to the emperor and the queen mother to kneel, read the merits of their ancestors, and really don't know, it is estimated that at most the silver will be spit out, and it will be fine. Therefore, it is not very likely that the nobles of the Jin merchants will come out to rescue, and the remaining ones are the officials in the capital and the eunuchs in the palace. The adult is the second assistant of the cabinet, entrusted to the lonely minister, and the first emperor gave three bronze guillotines, and has the right to cut first and then play. Looking at the court, there are officials who are bigger than adults, there is really no one. What officials do you want to count on, the lower officials think that it is also nonsense. Remove the officials, and finally there are eunuchs, this case has implicated many eunuchs in the prison army, and now there are Xiao Fengzhong, the supervisor of Xuanfu, and Zhao Yan, the supervisor of Zhangjiakou, Zhao Yan is nothing, and Xiao Fengzhong confessed, and many of the silver he obtained from selling military supplies paid tribute to the eunuch Zhang Yurui, the eunuch of the internal official supervisor. Xiao Fengzhong has a foundation in the inner palace, and other eunuchs involved in the case, such as Datong Supervisor, Henan Supervisor, Shandong Supervisor, and Huguang Supervisor, they should also have a certain foundation in the palace. Who their foundation is, the lower officials don't know, but Xiao Fengzhong's father-in-law is the palm seal eunuch of the internal official supervisor, and the foundation of the other prison army will not be much worse, if the foundation of which prison army is the palm print eunuch Zou Gonggong, then ......" In the end, Wu Sinan shook his head.

Everyone knows Zou Yi's status, the eunuch is in charge of the eunuch Jiadong Factory, and he is favored by the queen mother, if he is involved, the case will be really tricky.

After listening to Wu Sinan's analysis, Jiang Jie smiled slightly and said, "Lord Wu, you are too worried, even if this case really involves Gonggong Zou, Gonggong Zou will not come forward for those Jin businessmen." The stakes in this case are too big, it is already equivalent to a rebellion, and the official in charge of the trial is Lord Yue, how dare Gonggong Zou come forward. He is the same as you just analyzed those nobles, at most he received money, and the nobles all know that they can't come to us to intercede for this matter, and they want to go to the palace to find the emperor and the queen mother to cry, and the father-in-law Zou himself is the person who serves the emperor and the queen mother in the palace, and he will be the first to find the emperor and the queen mother. cried casually, spit out the silver, and thought that the emperor and the queen mother would no longer be embarrassed for Father-in-law Zou. ”

"yes...... What Mr. Jiang said was that Sinan thought less. But in this way, where did those Jin merchants get the confidence to dare to tell the adults that waiting for two days would not be just a simple delaying tactic. Wu Sinan said.

"I guess not. These Jin merchants can have such confidence, and they do rely on it, but this reliance should not be on a certain official, but on officials large and small in the capital. As you said, the Jin merchants sold military supplies, gave gifts to many officials in the capital, and even begged them to do things, such as killing Chang Zhentan back then, and protecting Tianxiu after the loss of Zhangjiakou, which required officials in Beijing to come forward. If it is the first instance of Jin businessmen, those Jin businessmen will inevitably shake out all these officials, and the number will not be small, such a big case, implicating so many officials, it is needless to say that it shocks the world, and if it is not good, it will shake the country's foundation. In peacetime, I don't talk much, but at present, I am worried about internal and external troubles, and I really can't withstand such a move. The Jin merchants are afraid that they will see this and dare to be so calm......" Speaking of this, Jiang Jie paused before saying: "The lord called himself sick in the court and secretly rushed to Zhangjiakou to handle the case, Zhangjiakou is not far from the Beijing Division, and the Lord came out for Lord Wu in Zhangjiakou, and took the matter of Cui Jingrong, the governor of Xuanda, Mi Zhihuan, the chief soldier, and Xiao Fengzhong, the supervisor, must have been spread, and it can be passed on to the Beijing division in just one day." Those officials in the capital who had taken the benefits of the Jin merchants, after learning about it, were inevitably frightened, and they were afraid that there were also those officials who were familiar with the adults and were also involved. ”

Jiang Jie's analysis can be described as leaky, and based on his and Wu Sinan's analysis, Yue Su nodded slightly, and said: "You two have analyzed well, it seems that the intention of Jin Shang is already obvious, but I am afraid that the world will not!" Yue Su gritted his teeth, slapped the coffee table on the side, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "I'm tired, let's go back and rest." ”

After speaking, Yue Su stood up and walked outside.

Wu Sinan and Jiang Jie had to get up to accompany each other, and Yue Su returned to his room by himself, for him, if this case was really as Jiang Jie expected, it would be really troublesome. It's not that Yue Su is afraid of the officials involved in Yue Suzhong, he is afraid that there will be more officials involved than he imagined. The Ming Dynasty has moved enough, and it really can't withstand such a toss.

Beijing.

Because the emperor is young, it is rare for officials at all levels to go to the early court, and it is the same today, each going to their respective yamen, what to do.

But at noon, Beijing City suddenly exploded. This is due to the fact that there is a news that spreads from the people and spreads throughout the city of Beijing at a very fast speed.

"Lord Yue didn't recuperate from his injuries in the house, but went to Zhangjiakou!" "I heard that Lord Yue can take Master Cui, the governor of Xuanda, in Zhangjiakou!" "Not only the Governor of Xuanda, but also the chief soldiers of Xuanfu and the supervisor of Xuanfu!" "It seems that because a businessman smuggled weapons and armor out of the customs and was caught, Lord Yue seems to have expected it a long time ago, and rushed to guard the rabbit one step in advance!" ……

Such rumors are widely spread in the streets and alleys of Beijing, there is a saying in this world that three people become tigers, so many people pass on their ears to their ears, it is inevitable that the more they spread, the more exaggerated they are, the big guys have expanded their imagination, and some people even say that the reason why the Tartars can calmly enter and exit the customs is all because Cui Jingrong collaborated with the enemy, otherwise, how can the Tartars go to Datong when they enter the customs, and go to the Xuanfu when they go out of the customs, both of which are places under the jurisdiction of Cui Jingrong.

The people talked a lot, and the officials naturally got the news, and when they learned about this, it can really be said that some people were happy and some were worried. Some petty officials, who are usually not taken seriously, are secretly happy in their hearts, such a big case, has nothing to do with themselves, but there will definitely be no fewer officials in Beijing who will be involved, Lord Yue is resolute, once they are all handled, there will definitely be a lot of vacancies, and then he may be able to make up for a good errand.

Some high-ranking officials and those with authority are really anxious, and they can even be said to be frightened. Some people have received money from Jin merchants, but now Jin merchants have been arrested for smuggling military supplies out of the customs, and the person who is handling this case is still the Yue Daren who does not enter a drop of water, what can I do? Jin Shang will definitely bite the breath and pull people back, it's over, it's over.

Those who have confiscated the silver of the Jin merchants, there are also those who are in a hurry, such as the officials of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, Mi Zhihuan will give them filial piety whenever they pay their salaries, where does this money come from, they can think of it with their buttocks, this is obtained by eating empty quotas and drinking soldiers' blood. It's easy to say if it's somewhere else, but this is Xuanfu, and the Tartars are out of Zhangjiakou. There is a vacant quota, drinking the blood of the soldiers, and the soldiers have no ability to resist, so let the Tartars easily get out of the customs, and they must also be jointly and severally responsible. Lord Yue has just returned, and it can also be said that the new official has taken office with three fires, and this fire must not burn a large part of it. Tragedy!

The officials involved in the case jumped and quickly got in touch with each other, just like the king of the military department was in Jin, and there were many officials gathered in his mansion now.
