Chapter 543: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
Xu Jingchun nodded and said, "The minister also knows that it is a great crime of disrespect to suspect the ministers of the DPRK and the central government for no reason, so he sent someone to squat in Yanshoufang for another day. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Qin Shangshu's home, it seems to be ordinary, but in fact it is hidden and mysterious. On the surface, in the Qin Mansion, there were only 30 domestic servants. But the person who harvested the night incense in the early morning filled two large vats. According to the estimation of the ministers, there are more than 100 people here......"
Lu Chengqi knew that night incense was dung, which was a civilized term at this time. At that time, there was no sewer system or automatic flushing system, so the manure (also known as toilet) was filled in wooden barrels, which needed to be emptied when it was full. Therefore, there will be a special person in the middle of the night to collect the feces in the toilet bowl of each house, pouring night incense refers to pouring feces. And the person who pours the night incense is usually called the night incense lang, which is one of the three hundred and sixty lines.
"Bailai people? Are you sure you're right? Lu Chengqi was quite suspicious.
Xu Jingchun said: "The number of people in the hundred is still less, if it is more, there must be more than two hundred people." ”
Lu Chengqi still didn't understand: "Qin Yikang, this old boy, what are so many people doing?" ”
Xu Jingchun said evilly: "Your Majesty, do you still need to say this!" It must be uneasy and kind, otherwise how can it be concealed? ”
Lu Chengqi actually understood that Qin Yikang's position was the secretary of the Ministry of War, and if there were a large number of domestic servants in the house, this might arouse his suspicions. But such a secret, coupled with the coincidence of his resume, this is a suspicion that cannot be washed away. After thinking about it, this old boy is also quite good at Taoguang and obscure, every time he goes to court, he never says a few words lightly, and he never gets to the point. It is precisely because of this that he habitually ignores this old boy. In addition, Qin Yikang handled the affairs of the Ministry of War very well, even if he was a picky person like Lu Chengqi, he couldn't find the slightest fault, but he couldn't find a little bit of brilliance. Maybe this is Qin Yikang's protective color, playing himself mediocre, so as not to attract Lu Chengqi's attention.
The more Lu Chengqi thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, but he felt that Xu Jingchun's words were untenable: "Xu Qing's words are just one-sided words, and they are not evidence that can be punished." Although I am the Son of Heaven, I cannot depose the minister for no reason. In this way, Xu Qing will monitor for more time and look for evidence. I don't want the 'trumped-up' charge to appear in Dashun......"
"Unnecessary" is a new word, but Xu Jingchun understood the meaning as soon as he heard it. Chinese characters are so magical, and it is not all wrong to hope that the text is meaningful. Xu Jingchun knows that the emperor is good at everything, but love is more sincere. If he is Emperor Yuanshou, there is no evidence, and Fan Zhongyan can be suspicious, forcing him to play on his own and ask for debasement. Now all the evidence points to Qin Yikang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, but Lu Chengqi is still more truthful, saying that there is no definite evidence. Who is Qin Yikang? The patriarch of the two dynasties, the old fritter in the old fritter, wants to get his handle, how easy is it?
muttered in his heart, but said on his lips: "Obey!" ”
Lu Chengqi suddenly thought about it: "Xu Qing, I want to test Qin Yikang, what do you say?" ”
"Temptation?" Xu Jingchun asked a little puzzled.
"Tomorrow, I will throw out the case of child abduction and trafficking, and see what Qin Yikang's reaction is." Lu Chengqi explained.
Xu Jingchun understood and said, "What does Your Majesty mean is to startle the snake?" ”
"Eh, Xu Qing, you don't use the right words, how can you say that you are beating the grass and startling the snake, this is called leading the snake out of the hole!" Lu Chengqi smiled "sinisterly", "Once this case is thrown, if Qin Yikang is the mastermind behind the scenes, it will not be visible on the surface, then there will definitely be some movement in the Qin Mansion." As you said, there are more than 100 people in the Qin Mansion, so Qin Yikang will definitely send them out of Chang'an City. In this way, he can prove his innocence and not be afraid of someone checking him. At that time, the Supervision Department will guard the main roads of Yanshoufang and Taipingfang, and besiege them layer by layer, which should be wiped out! ”
This is reverse thinking, after Lu Chengqi said his thoughts, Xu Jingchun agreed, and couldn't help but slap his ass again: "Wonderful, Your Majesty's plan is really wonderful!" ”
Lu Chengqi scolded with a smile: "Don't be busy patting on the back, if the mastermind behind the scenes is either Qin Yikang or someone is arrested, I can only punish him lightly." At that time, I am ugly, can you still please it? ”
Only "his own people" can Lu Chengqi dare to tell the truth. Indeed, the emperor's face can't be lost, and the only one who carries the black pot is Xu Jingchun. Lu Chengqi said this, just to remind Xu Jingchun that if the wrong person is caught, the real murderer will be hidden deeper, and Xu Jingchun will have to consciously bear all the faults.
Xu Jingchun was not stupid, he could hear what Lu Chengqi wanted to say, gritted his teeth, and swore to the sky: "Your Majesty, the minister dares to guarantee with his life, Qin Yikang, the secretary of the military department, is a big suspicion!" If there is a mistake, the minister will play a concert and ask for a derogatory punishment......"
Lu Chengqi also knows that now Qin Yikang's suspicion is as much as eighty percent. Xu Jingchun dared to make a "military order" because he believed in the efficiency of the Supervision Department.
"In that case, I have made a note of it. You go down and prepare first, and tomorrow you will take the lead and tell the case. ”
Xu Jingchun bowed his hand again and said, "The minister obeys the order!" With that, he bowed respectfully and withdrew from the hall of the arch.
Chang'an City, Taipingfang, in front of a mansion with a plaque of "Wangfu".
It is a mysterious mansion that has not been seen by the new owner since it was changed hands by the previous owner. It is extremely rare in this Taiping Fang, where high-ranking officials and gentry gather. Every day, a cart of fruits and vegetables was pulled by a vegetable vendor, and the butcher pushed the meat table to deliver forty or fifty catties of meat to the mansion. Such a spectacle has lasted for more than ten years, and the people of Taipingfang are used to it.
In the study room in the palace, a middle-aged man was concentrating on studying today's "Da Shun Min Bao", and for some reason, there was a sudden knocking sound on the bookshelf behind him.
The middle-aged man jumped up and hurriedly turned a small incense burner on the bookshelf, and then there was a sound of the machine turning, and after a while, the bookshelf was divided into two halves, revealing a black hole in the dark passage. In front of the dark passage, an old man with half-white hair carried a lantern. The candlelight shone on his face, revealing a grim look, it was Qin Yikang, the secretary of the military department!
"Sir!"
The middle-aged man didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly saluted.
"I don't know why, the old man has been unsettled these days, and he always feels like something is going to happen. Liang Zhongwen, what's the news? ”
The middle-aged man said: "Some scholars in Taiyuan Mansion made a fuss and calmed down again. Liang Zhongwen wrote a letter, saying that there was nothing he could do......"
Qin Yikang blushed his face and said, "If it doesn't work, just withdraw, these days are not very peaceful, and it's good to move less." That Qin Tianjian Chen Xun really has some doorways, could it be that he saw through the old man? (To be continued.) )
