Chapter 0103 Yang Ling crosses the sea

Yan Song had been reminded by his wife in advance, and he had determined that the emperor intended to exonerate Yang Ling, so the highest status of the three Qin Messengers must have received the secret decree a long time ago, so since he hit the old man's sedan chair, Yan Song stared at him with good eyes, the old fox didn't expect that this would be terrifying, and the look in his eyes was only slightly changed, and he had been firmly looked at by Yan Song.

This time, Yan Song even believed that what he expected was good. In fact, if Emperor Zhengde had the heart to exonerate Yang Ling, he would have pardoned him directly if he used his surname to care what others thought, so he didn't understand these twists and turns, and the old man didn't receive the emperor's secret edict.

Yesterday, as soon as Li Dongyang left the palace gate, he immediately asked Wang Hua to meet him, and he had already known about it. One of the people Li Dongyang asked was named Wang Ziwen, a bachelor of Hanlin, and his husband invited him to be a teacher for several grandchildren.

When Wang Hanlin arrived at the Chengguo Mansion, he inadvertently showed a little tone, and the Chengguo Duke was able to stand tall in the Zhu family dynasty, which was very suspicious, and he received the grace of the country, which had his own tricks. The heads of the Zhu family all have a delicate heart, but most of them look like a rude martial artist without scheming, and they are good at sociability.

Don't look at the old Guogong not going to the court, there are no big and small things in the court that can't hide from him, combined with what has happened in the past two days between the government and the opposition, what articles are there, although Cheng Guogong guessed that it is not far away, it has been expected that Li Dongyang made an appointment to meet Wang Shilang, and Wang Shouren must be related to being named a messenger.

Chengguo Gong figured this out and couldn't help but secretly admire the courage and loyalty of Li Dongyang and Wang Hua, the Ming courtiers, for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji and the people of Li dared to risk killing their heads and stealing their homes, but there are now thousands of people in Chengguo Mansion, and the old man is not so conscious that he goes into battle shirtless, but he still has the ability to pretend to be confused, so this mosquito hit his eyes and saw that it was a male or female old guy, so he became unable to see or hear, and he was shaking when he walked.

Wang Shouren saw that Chengguo Gong was willing to help secretly, and he was in a good mood. The three of them got on the official sedan chair and came to Tailing, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse supervisor, Miao Kui, the governor of the West Factory, and Li Jie, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and then led the three Qin messengers to the entrance of the imperial tomb, and first worshiped heaven and earth with great fanfare.

Because once the emperor's tomb is unharmed, the emperor will re-enable the Tailing, so he consulted Qin Tianjian in advance, sacrificed three animals to the sky, and asked God to forgive the crime of tampering with the golden well. After everything was busy, Miao Kui and Li Jie accompanied the three Qincha into the imperial mausoleum.

Wang Shouren secretly touched the bag of loess stuffed in his waist as he walked, glanced at the old man, and saw Cheng Guogong walking forward tremblingly with the support of the housekeeper, and talking to Miao Kui like a roar, as if he was afraid that people would not know that he was blind and deaf.

Miao Kui walked to the entrance of the left hall, stopped with a smile, and saluted the old man: "Chengguo Gong, your old man, please, our family is waiting for you here."

Cheng Guogong glanced at him appreciatively, answered vaguely and walked in. Li Jie is the biggest contributor to the report of this case, and he can participate in the other four Qincha, he is the credit of the society, if he loses, at least one of them will frame his colleagues, so he doesn't care about the dissatisfaction of his husband, and immediately follows in inch by inch.

The three Qincha stopped in front of the Jinjing stone platform, and Wang Shouren said loudly: "Old man, you are old, just stand here to supervise, how about leaving the matter of taking the soil to us?" ”

He said and stared at Yan Song, Wang Shouren's plan was to drop the bag on the way after taking the soil, and now there is Li Jie watching there, and there is a Yan Qincha, who can't do anything at all, so it is better to pretend to be generous, so that Yan Song will not arouse suspicion when he goes to take the soil.

Yan Song stood closest to Jinjing, and just now he took a look at Jinjing by the light, and when he saw Jinjing's appearance, Yan Song couldn't help but feel moved: It turns out that Jinjing is like this, and it is really easy to cheat.

Alas! It's a pity that such an opportunity to show his merit was given to the head of the military department in vain, Yan Song's heart flashed, and he secretly sneered: It's okay to let me play the mud bodhisattva, but you can't take me as a fool, I have guessed their plan, I have to think of a way to point it out, I'm not afraid that they won't sell me this favor.

Yan Song thought of this and said politely: "Yes, yes, although the old prince is standing here as an inspector, this matter of taking the soil will be handed over to our juniors, Lord Wang, you please, the students are guarding on the side."

Wang Shouren was not polite when he heard this, took a small shovel that he brought in when he entered the mausoleum, and got on the white jade bed, Li Jie's eyes suddenly widened, and he watched him move for a moment. Cheng Guogong didn't know how Wang Shouren was going to take soil to cover up the water seepage of the emperor's tomb, but he saw Li Jie standing there like an eagle, and his two hands were nervously bent into claws.

The old man frowned, paced to Li Jie's side, patted him on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "You are Li Jie, the waiter of the Ministry of Works?" Well, it's good, those thieves even dare to hide that there is a problem with the mausoleum of the former emperor, the crime is unforgivable, if it weren't for you, the whole court would have been hidden."

Li Jie said with a smile: "The old man has won the award, this is the duty of the courtiers", he said, his eyes were still staring at Jinjing without blinking, for fear that someone would do something.

Yan Song was overjoyed when he saw it, this blind villain had helped him a lot, and he was worried about how to let Cheng Guogong know that I was also protecting Yang Ling, this guy gave me the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to this mud bodhisattva.

Yan Song immediately agreed: "Yes, I heard that the emperor's tomb was seeping water, Lord Li didn't know about it, but the lord inadvertently saw that they looked suspicious, and he was immediately alert, so he sided, knocked, sideways, and struck, and finally noticed that they had invaded and concealed, and actually followed the trace to find evidence, so that the first emperor would not be buried in the damaged place of the dragon vein.

There are many people who have heard of the name Jinjing, and no one knows what it looks like when they don't see it with their own eyes, and even if some craftsmen among the people have leaked it, out of vanity, most of them boast of gorgeousness and untruthfulness, so these people are the first time to see the true face of Jinjing.

Wang Shouren knelt on the stone platform, and was also looking at the soil hole with a diameter of half a foot and a depth of about one meter, he tentatively touched it with his hands, the four walls were clay loess, but when he touched the bottom, because the soil there was soaked with rice juice, but it was dry and smooth, Wang Shouren's heart jumped: they really did their hands and feet.

As soon as Wang Shouren thought of this, Yan Song's sentence of "side, knock, side, hit" came into his ears, and a thought flashed in Wang Shouren's heart like a flash of lightning, and he glanced to the side vigilantly out of the corner of his eye, only to see Li Jie watching his every move with wide eyes, and he was immediately extremely disappointed.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the tall and thin Yan Song turned around, went around to Li Jie and bowed down, and said very respectfully: "As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, the student should also thank the adult, please accept the student's worship!" ”

This thin bamboo pole is more than one meter and eight meters tall, and when he turns around, he is tightly blocked, and he leans down to give a salute so that Li Jie can't see anything, Li Jie has the heart to avoid him, but it is too obvious to do so, it is obviously disrespectful to him, and he is suspicious of Wang Shouren, he just hesitated slightly, Yan Song has pulled his arm and patted him affectionately: "The Criminal Department used the big punishment to force a confession, and the hundred officials refused to accept it, so it was remanded for retrial, if there is a wise man like an adult in the Criminal Department, knocking on the side and saying a few words will definitely make those prisoners confess!" ”

At this moment, just the sound of a shovel shoveling the soil came quickly, and Wang Shouren had already laughed and said: "The soil of the golden well has been obtained, take the gold box to hold the soil!" ”。

***********************************************************************************************

Wang Qiong paced in the study for a long time, suddenly stopped and sneered: "Those rebels and thieves are not dead, and they want to take the soil for inspection, hum, how dare that little chief slander if it is not the facts?" How could a soldier in the army die suddenly if he had no inside information? I've been guarded by someone to hold the gold box of earth, and the keys are all destroyed, except for me, and as long as the soil is safe, see what tricks they can play! ”

Xu Guan raised his eyebrows and said, "It's time for Qin Cha to come back, right?" Win or lose! The three princes of the cabinet shielded the criminals, ignored the damage to the dragon vein, and only cared about some petty profits, the emperor must be displeased, once this case is over, their future will be exhausted."

Wang Qiong frowned and said: "Xu Shangshu, we are waiting for this move, it is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, not for the sake of personal future, the three princes of the cabinet are capable ministers of governing the country, and they are worried about raising taxes for the sake of the Ming court, how can Duke Xu speak like this?" ”

Xu Guan hurriedly laughed and said: "Yes, yes, what Wang Shangshu said is true", but he couldn't help but scold secretly in his heart: "Old horseman, you are upright and upright, for the country and the people, why did you encourage your son to go to the Criminal Department to complain, saying that Yang Ling robbed the people's daughters and collected money unknowingly?" Isn't it that he was scolded by the people anymore, and wanted to cut off people's heads and insult people's names again? ”

Hong Zhong said: "Lord Wang, we might as well enter the palace immediately, report Yang Ling's illegal deeds to the emperor, and when the Jinjing loess arrives, the truth will be revealed, and it will be reasonable to kill him!" ”

Wang Qiong groaned slightly, shook her head with a smile and said, "Why do you need to work for you and me to come forward in this matter, doesn't it seem like a big fuss?" Tell Cheng Wenyi, the squire of the Criminal Department, to quickly make an excerpt and present it to the emperor in the name of the scholar's report."

In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Zhengde was listening to the chatter of the scholar Xie Qian. He excused himself to ask the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager for peace today, and he had been exempted from the Wu Dynasty and had been waiting for news in this palace, Liu Jian and Xie Qian heard that he was going to ask the Empress Dowager for peace, and there happened to be a matter of the emperor's wedding to be reported for consultation, so they hurriedly followed.

Unexpectedly, the little emperor didn't want to see the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager at all, the two scholars knew the preciousness of time, and they didn't waste it at all, so they immediately saw the stitches and persuaded the emperor not to be too frolicking, not to walk in the palace without guards, not to study too little, not to open a feast, and to persuade Emperor Zhengde to be one head and two big.

Emperor Zhengde was impatient, and a small yellow door hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, Cheng Wenyi, the servant of the Criminal Department, has an urgent twist, and it is related to the case of water seepage in the emperor's tomb."

Zhengde was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Submit it!" Zhengde took the fold, opened it and took a look, Cheng Wenyi sprinkled more than 3,000 words on the fold, except for half of the clichés, that is, there were literati who reported it, and after the criminal department's investigation and secret visit, it was verified that Yang Lingming was honest, secretly greedy for luxury, bought concubines with huge sums of money, bullied monks, etc., and asked the emperor to allow it to be tried together with the water seepage case of the emperor's tomb.

Zhengde is like a gambler waiting to uncover the hole cards, I don't know if the loess brought back from the emperor's tomb has been tampered with, as soon as I saw this fold, my heart was half cold, it turned out that Zhang Yong also said that Yang Ling had no reason to be corrupt, but now there is evidence, Zhengde only looked at the crimes listed, and the content behind it no longer had the heart to see.

He hatefully threw the fold on the dragon book case, the muscles on his cheeks jumped suddenly, and he sat on the chair for a long time, and suddenly jumped up, and said angrily: "Bring me all the criminals, and I will personally try this case!" ”

Liu Jian heard this and hurriedly stopped: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done, the law has a division, the emperor is the emperor of all times, how can he interfere beyond his authority?" Since ancient times, emperors have not known self-love except for Emperor Wen, and they have never heard of any Ming monarch who went to sit in the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment."

Zhengde was furious, pointed at him and shouted: "Mingjun, Mingjun, and my ears are almost cocooned, you keep saying that you are the most respectful, but I, the emperor, can let you dictate your fingers, how can I ever do the slightest thing?" Is this world yours or mine? ”

Liu Jian's face turned pale when he heard this, and he said in a trembling voice: "Why did the emperor say this, the old minister is brave and loyal, the world can be learned, if the old minister's words are inferior and collide with the emperor, I wish the emperor to give him sin!" ”

Seeing this, Xie Qian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed unreasonable to try the prisoner with the dignity of the emperor, the emperor is the co-lord of the world, how can there be a reason for the emperor to personally ask the case?" However, if the emperor wants to hear the case, why not set up a seat at the back of the interrogation hall of the torture hall to observe, what does the emperor think? ”

Emperor Zhengde waved his hand and said: "Listen to the trial, listen to the trial, follow me to the lobby of the criminal department, I want to see what black things he has done, so sad to my heart!" Send someone to tell the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and Kanling Qincha, as soon as the Jinjing soil arrives in Beijing, go to the Criminal Department, and the three halls will be tried! ”

Emperor Zhengde was in a hurry, and took two scholars, Zhang Yong, Liu Jin, and Ma Yongcheng, three henchmen and eunuchs, all the way to the Criminal Department, which frightened Wei Shen and Cheng Wenyi, and the two hurriedly sent someone to the Ministry of Rites to invite Hong Zhong back, and Wang Qiong and Xu Guan also hurriedly followed when they heard the news.

Emperor Zhengde was impatient, and when Hong Zhong rushed back, he immediately ordered the court to be promoted to ask about the case. Because this case only involved Yang Ling's family, Wei Shen only brought Yang Ling, Han Youniang, Xue Limei, and Gao Wenxin to the court, and detained Li Duo, Ni Qian, Dai Yi, and the witness Shi Chang in the hall to wait for the triage of the three divisions. Han Youniang and the others are not coincidental, because they trespassed into the legal field, they were waiting for the crime before the Emperor Ling case was clarified, so they were also taken into custody yesterday in the women's prison of the Criminal Department, and they will only be dealt with after the Emperor Ling case.

The prosecution is a group of scribes Yang Lin, Zhao Yong, Wang Jinglong and other seven people who reported the case, and Yutangchun.

Yutang Chun came up, his wavy eyes quickly glanced at Yang Ling, and saw that he was dressed in white, stained with blood, his fingers were blurred with blood, and his eyes couldn't help but show a look of regret.

She hurriedly lowered her eyes, for fear of being seen by others, so she timidly stepped forward and knelt down, and said in a coquettish voice: "Minnu Su San, knock to see your lord!" ”

Hong Zhong smiled and said with a pleasant face: "Witness Su San, don't be afraid, you are a maid of the Yang Mansion, and the existing scholar has reported that Yang Ling used official coercion to force the Flower Pavilion to hire you away, and the owner of the pavilion did not agree to a scale of gold, Yang Ling once threw thousands of gold, and you should tell the details in detail."

According to Wang Jinglong's instructions, Yutangchun vividly told Yang Ling that Yang Ling forced the Flower Pavilion to sell them into the Yang family, called handmaids, and were actually concubines. Behind the hall, Xu Guan and Wang Qiong's eyebrows fluttered, Yang Ling had just entered Beijing at that time, but he was just a waiter in the East Palace, where did he get ten thousand taels of silver?

This silver must have come from the wrong way, and since he was extravagant, there would be a reason for being tempted by others in the imperial tomb to participate in the deception of the emperor's tomb.

But the more Emperor Zhengde listened, the more he wondered, he just watched the twists and turns in the palace, and only saw a huge amount of money to buy concubines, but he didn't know what concubines Yang Ling bought. It's just that Yutangchun's words are untrue, in order to highlight Yang Ling's shamelessness, Wang Jinglong and others taught Yutangchun what they said were exaggerated too much, and Zhengde couldn't help but glance at Ma Yongcheng with some confusion when he heard it.

Ma Yongcheng hurriedly attached to Zhengde's ear, and described the matter in detail, what Zhengde himself did, naturally believed that he had more people, and said that Yang Ling did not have the power to oppress people, and did not instruct people to beat and intimidate because he refused to give up a scale of gold, even if there are such illegal facts, I am afraid that he will think that Yang Ling is working hard for himself.

Hearing Yutangchun so upside down black and white, Emperor Zhengde's face turned red, feeling as if he was talking about him, he couldn't bear it, and couldn't help jumping up in annoyance and shouting: "What you woman confessed is the truth? You must know that framing the ministers of the court is to be beaten to death, and you still don't invite them from the truth? ”

Except for Hong Shangshu, Wei Shen, and Cheng Wenyi in front, everyone else didn't know that there was also a Zhengde Emperor sitting behind, and when they heard someone suddenly speak, even the messenger with a water and fire stick was startled.

At this time, Zhengde has already taken off the voice change period, Yutangchun and the others are not familiar with him and can't hear his voice, but Yang Ling and Han Youniang can hear it. The two husbands and wives couldn't help but glance at each other, and there was ecstasy in their eyes.

Yu Tangchun said in surprise: "My lord, who is asking after this hall?" She said with a pair of beautiful eyes and quickly glanced at Han Youniang, and her big eyes that could talk were also full of doubt.

Originally, the strategy agreed upon by the two was to wait for the young lady to refute it, so that she pretended to be poor, panicked and afraid, and told the truth from the face, which would make it easier to win the trust of others. At this time, someone suddenly asked behind the hall, and the tone obviously didn't believe what she said, Yutangchun also said that because there was no contact this day, the young lady found a helper again.

Hong Zhong heard Emperor Zhengde speak behind him, and the witnesses, prisoners, and third-class officials were all surprised, and couldn't help but say embarrassedly: "This is an old man who is being tried behind the hall, you don't need to ask more, just answer honestly."

Yutangchun saw Han Youniang's eyes, and she already knew in her heart, she knelt there timidly, with a touching look, and said worriedly: "My lord, the people's girls dare not speak, that old man wants to torture the people's daughters."

Hong Zhong saw that this beauty had no knowledge, so he hurriedly smiled and said with relief: "As long as you tell the truth and answer honestly, the boss will not beat you, even this lord will be the master for you", he glanced at Yang Ling and sneered: "It doesn't matter who has high human rights, you have to obey this official before you come to this hall." Uh, let the old man behind the official deal with it, what grievances do you have, even if you come together, there is this official and that old man are in charge, and no one can hurt you! ”

Hearing this, Yutangchun hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, the people's daughters are wronged, the people's daughters are wronged!" ”

Hong Zhong smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, this official will avenge your decision, Su San, you can speak boldly."

Yutangchun pointed at Wang Jinglong, and cried loudly: "The people's daughter was wronged, and the people's daughter framed the old master, all because of the intimidation of this third prince, this third prince said that my family has been imprisoned, and if the people's daughter does not do what he said, he will sell the people's daughter to the sect." ”

Yutangchun cried like tears, and said angrily: "The third prince of Wang also said that it won't take a few days, his Wang family will be under one person and above ten thousand, if I am willing to follow him, he will buy me back to the house as a concubine, and enjoy all the glory and blessings." The people's daughter is a weak woman, the head of the family is wronged, lonely, and helpless to sue the old master, it is really not the people's daughter's wish, and I ask the adult to be the master of the people's daughter."

Yutangchun's voice did not fall, and the more than ten people who were still laughing in front of the hall and behind the hall all changed their colors when they heard the words!

At this moment, the honor guards of the three Qincha had entered the capital, Li Dongyang and Wang Hua were still sitting at home and never saw a reply from their families, so they could only do nothing, and the two only sat silently opposite each other, sighing gloomily.

At this moment, the family members sent to the emperor's tomb to inquire about the news hurriedly returned, Wang Hua hurriedly jumped up, and said in a trembling voice: "Is there any news from Shouren?" ”

The family said: "Master, the old servant has been following for a long time, and he has always not signaled to the prince, and now the Qin sent the guard of honor back to the noon gate, but he only stopped for a while, and went directly to the criminal department, and the old servant had to come back to report the news."

Wang Hua and Li Dongyang looked at each other in amazement: Qin Cha didn't go to the palace to oversee the decree, and went directly to the Criminal Department? Isn't it

Li Dongyang hurriedly said: "Hurry, don't prepare a sedan car!" Prepare the horses, let's rush to the criminal department immediately! ”

The two adults hurriedly went out of the house, the family led the horse, the two got on the horse and quickly whipped the horse and went straight to the lobby of the criminal department, and ran to the door, only to see a sedan chair stop at the door, and a half-hundred-year-old man shaking his head came out of the sedan chair, Li Dongyang had not yet dismounted, and when he saw the man, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Mo Jianzheng, what are you doing in the criminal department?" ”

The Qintian Supervisor was looking up and saw that it was Li Mengyang, a scholar, and Wang Hua, a waiter from the Ministry of Rites, and hurriedly smiled and said: "I have seen two adults, the emperor ordered the subordinate to measure the lightning strike and warn, and now that there is a result, the subordinate official is reporting to the emperor."

Li Dongyang was shocked when he heard this: "The emperor really came to the Criminal Department, does he want to be interrogated by himself?" ”
