Although it was announced to the outside world that Ning Yaoan died of a heart attack, in fact it was not the case, whether Ning Yaoan died of poison, and it is not clear whether he swallowed poison himself or was poisoned by others.

But Team Leader Li and the others all know that no matter whether Ning Yaoan committed suicide by swallowing poison or was poisoned by others, there must be someone behind this.

Someone doesn't want Ning Yaoan to live!

When this result was presented to Lin Zhe, Lin Zhe, who had not been angry for a long time, was angry!

"I want results!" Lin Zhe did not take his anger out on the Anti-Corruption Bureau or the Joint Investigation Bureau, these two agencies, the former is just an ordinary law enforcement agency, and although the latter claims to be one of the three major intelligence agencies in China, although the functions of the Joint Investigation Bureau include counter-espionage, it is more like the FBI in the future, mainly responsible for the investigation of some cases.

And now Ning Yaoan's corruption case is obviously out of the category of ordinary cases, if you add the previous Jiangxi political envoy's report on Guo Longyun, then these two things add up to form a huge political struggle.

This kind of thing is obviously a little unsustainable for them, and if they want to find out the ins and outs of these things, Lin Zhe still pins his hopes on the palace intelligence department.

This is not to say that the agents in the palace intelligence department are more powerful and more capable in investigating cases, but because the palace intelligence department and other law enforcement agencies have a completely different style of work.

Even if the Joint Investigation Bureau wants to investigate a case, it has to go through a series of legal procedures, if you want to arrest someone, you need an arrest warrant, you need relevant documents to search for certain evidence, and there are many rules and regulations.

However, these obstacles do not exist for the Imperial Intelligence Service.

As far as the Imperial Intelligence Service is concerned, they do not follow the usual path in investigating cases. For example, if they suspect that someone is involved in something, they will not issue an arrest warrant or anything like that, but will go directly to the door to secretly arrest them, and they will not say the rules and regulations when questioned, and it is normal to torture them when necessary.

If they are suspicious, but they can't find evidence for a while. For the sake of the overall situation, they often resort to assassination.

At this time, the Anti-Corruption Bureau, the Joint Investigation Bureau, and the Imperial Intelligence Service were all involved in the investigation of this case to varying degrees, but their respective investigations had their own focuses.

The Anti-Corruption Bureau has only focused on the Ning Yaoan case, while the Joint Investigation Bureau has already pointed the finger at other senior officials, and as for the Imperial Intelligence Service, they are trying to dig out the driving force behind this series of time.

Time passed day by day, and this case also stimulated a wide range of public opinion, not to mention public opinion, there are many so-called clear streams in the imperial political arena. began to use the Ning Yaoan incident to impeach Guo Longyun.

Because this series of cases seems to have nothing to do with Guo Longyun on the surface, but the officials in the imperial political arena all know that Ning Yaoan is Guo Longyun's protégé, and when Ning Yaoan asked for bribes in 1862, he still worked in the Economic Planning Committee of the Palace Affairs Department.

If there is no one standing behind this, they will not believe it if they are killed.

So who is standing behind Ning Yaoan? Guess with your toes. That must be Guo Longyun!

At first, only a few officials folded the impeachment, but the content of the impeachment gradually deepened. At first, they only impeached Guo Longyun for conniving at the corruption of his subordinates during his tenure as Minister of Economy, but soon pointed the finger directly at Guo Longyun.

It is said that Guo Longyun used his position to seek money during the period of promoting the integration of Huzhou's raw silk industry chain, and some people even impeached Guo Longyun for asking for a lot of money when he promoted the construction of Tianjin Beihai Industrial Zone during his tenure as Minister of Economy.

Followed by. It was also revealed that Guo Longyun had maintained extramarital relations with many women in the past many years and had many illegitimate children, and his character and morals were corrupt, which was a shame for the ministers.

This series of impeachments was all left by Lin Zhe. And in this case, Guo Longyun couldn't sit still.

In early October, Guo Longyun asked to meet the saint after a cabinet meeting.

Lin Zhe naturally knew why Guo Longyun wanted to come to the private sainthood, so without waiting for Guo Longyun to speak, he took the initiative to say: "It seems that you also know what happened in these times, Aiqing, what do you think about this!" ”

Guo Longyun looked up slightly at Lin Zhe in front of him, and saw that Lin Zhe was still as calm as usual, in the center for so many years, Guo Longyun had never seen Lin Zhe angry or happy or other expressions, but his majesty had maintained a calm expression all year round.

It was as if nothing in the world could move him.

Seeing Lin Zhe's expression, many people thought that Lin Zhe had never been a sad or happy person.

In fact, of course this is not the case, Lin Zhe also has joys and sorrows, he often lost his temper in his early years, but then he began to deliberately control his expression, whether it is joy, anger and sorrow, he will not express it easily, mainly because he is not an ordinary person.

The Son of Heaven was furious, and it was not a joke to say that there were millions of corpses.

Guo Longyun has been by Lin Zhe's side for many years, although he can't see anything from Lin Zhe's expression at this moment, but this kind of inability to see obvious joy, anger and sorrow is the problem.

Guo Longyun immediately said in a deep voice: "Back to Your Majesty, Ning Yao'an's matter has been recommended by the minister, and the minister is willing to be punished!" ”

Guo Longyun only said this, but Lin Zhe said: "But what? ”

Guo Longyun took a deep breath and said, "But Weichen definitely didn't instruct him to forcibly ask for a bribe!" ”

I don't know how much money you, Guo Longyun, are greedy? I don't know what I've done all these years? Lin Zhe secretly said in his heart, there are a lot of reports about your various things in his study, but he is just too lazy to worry about you.

Lin Zhe waved his hand lightly: "Since Aiqing has a clear conscience, then go back!" ”

From the moment Lin Zhe received the secret letter of impeachment of Guo Longyun by the political envoy of Jiangxi, he had no intention of really pursuing Guo Longyun, let alone ousting him from power.

Guo Longyun's situation Lin Zhe is very clear, those agents of the palace intelligence department are not dry food, Guo Longyun and his family have how much money, how much money they have used over the years, what kind of property they have purchased, etc., he knows it, if he has to be more serious, it is estimated that the number of people involved in the case is also hundreds of thousands.

However, this hundreds of thousands of dollars can be tolerated for Lin Zhe, after all, it is not a one-time talk of hundreds of thousands, but over the years, it is a small fight on weekdays, and it will not go too far in making money, and rarely directly retract bribes, most of them are the children of his Guo family who use his powerful position to make money, for example, when the empire developed the Northeast, it was just finalized that the Northeast would develop a railway, and the children of his Guo family bought a part of the land along the way through which the railway must pass, and then sold it to the railway company to earn the difference.

These things are all within the scope of Lin Zhe's tolerance.

It would be unnecessary to remove Guo Longyun just for this.

As for the issue of life style, although the military and political affairs of the empire have relatively high moral requirements, as long as Guo Longyun does not abandon his wife for a day, then the problem of women is nothing.

As for raising women outside with illegitimate children and the like, it's not a big deal if there are too many of them.

Several times the imperial military and political high-ranking officials, there are few who only have one wife, and then there is no woman outside, more or less will raise the outer room outside, but Guo Longyun is a little indulgent in this regard, and if he raises it, he will raise it, but everyone knows that he is still making trouble.

After sending Guo Longyun away, Lin Zhe met with Lin Ermao from the palace intelligence department again, and asked Lin Ermao to speed up the investigation, this matter has been delayed for more than half a month, and I am afraid that something will change if it drags on again.

And the development of things is indeed the case, as more and more people impeach Guo Longyun, the court is becoming more and more complicated, and then after Guo Longyun was impeached, Jiang Daoquan also began to be impeached, and even Prime Minister Xue Huan could not avoid it.

However, the palace intelligence department reported that most of the officials who impeached Jiang Daoquan were officials who had contact with Guo Longyun, and it was obvious that Guo Longyun should have discovered something, but he thought that Jiang Daoquan was the driving force behind it, or he simply wanted to muddy the water.

And in this way, the political situation of the empire is even more chaotic.

A large number of impeachment excerpts are sent every day, which makes Lin Zhe tireless.

At this time, in the four seas of Nanjing, several people raised the cups in their hands, and one of them chuckled: "This matter is almost done, it is estimated that Jiang Daoquan's old Wang Ba will soon be unlucky, without him, it will be much more convenient for us to act at that time!"
