Tang Wei's death must be investigated, and there is already a consensus on this point, from the emperor to the civil and military officials.

An official awaiting trial died of unnatural causes before the facts of the case were clarified, and this matter must be investigated, which is not possible.

Even if it is a formality, it is necessary.

Wang Zhen can't cover the sky with one hand and prevent the imperial court from investigating the cause of Tang Chun's death, otherwise, he will be in trouble himself.

"Holy Lord, Weichen feels that Master Tang's death is a little strange, and he should send a competent official to investigate the cause of his death." Cao Nai, the first assistant of the cabinet, clearly expressed his views.

"Tang Wei's crime, the evidence is conclusive, and there is no need to make extraneous branches." Wang You, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, came out of the line.

"Tang Wei's crime, human evidence, and physical evidence are all there, he knows that even if he goes to the capital, he will not escape death, so he chooses to commit suicide, which is normal!" Chen Xun, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, suddenly came out.

All the ministers were a little surprised, the first assistant and the second assistant had left opinions, this is to be a sign of don't show up, it seems that Chen Xun is angry about Cao Nai's taking away his position as the first assistant!

Soon, the minister who supported Cao Nai, the first assistant, and Chen Xun, the second assistant, split into two factions.

In terms of momentum, Cao Nai, the new first assistant, is not as good as Chen Xun, the old second assistant, but those who support Cao Nai are some new forces, and many of them are young faces, the mainstay of the future imperial court.

On Chen Xun's side, there are many old people, representing some old forces above the court.

The emperor was very unhappy, he knew Cao Nai's awkward position in the cabinet, since this was the first assistant elected by the ministers.

is reasonable, and should maintain the dignity of Shoufu, Chen Xun openly disagrees with Shoufu like this, it is obvious that he is not convinced by the other party.

Cao Nai's face was also very ugly. With such an obvious problem, Chen Xun couldn't see it, no matter whether Tang Wei's death really had other reasons, the imperial court should send someone to investigate.

There is really no need for him to be above the court. Directly against yourself.

In doing so, Chen Xun lost his demeanor!

"Holy Lord, Wei Chen recommends one person, and he can find out one of the cases of Tang Wei's suicide!" Cao Nai leaned over solemnly and said.

"Cao Aiqing, please speak!"

"The Jinyi Patrol Division is acting for a thousand households, and Lord Meng Yan can be a messenger!"

"Oh, the person recommended by Cao Aiqing is Meng Yan Meng Aiqing?" Zhu Qizhen was a little surprised. These two can't fight together.

"Exactly!"

The corners of Chen Xun's mouth twitched, Cao Nai's move was ruthless, and he directly lifted the brocade guard out.

Who doesn't know that Jin Yiwei and Dongchang are mortal enemies, and Meng Yan is a mortal enemy with Dongchang, so he went to investigate. Even if Tang Chu commits suicide, there is no problem, and he will let him solve the problem, who will let him, Guo Jing is also a lieutenant official, and he is also Wang Zhen's confidant?

"Holy Lord, no!"

"Oh, Wang Aiqing, why not?"

Wang You, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, took the initiative to jump out. This made Chen Xun secretly relieved, at this time, it was not suitable for him to stand up again.

"Master Meng is newly married. It is when you and I are nong, is the Holy One sympathetic to his subordinates? Wang You said.

"What Wang Aiqing said also has some truth."

"Lord Wang, this investigation has nothing to do with Lord Meng's new marriage, can it be said that my Ming officials can ignore things when they get married?" Cao Nai retorted.

"The day before Lord Meng got married, he was still working tirelessly to hunt down the important criminals wanted by the imperial court, how many people can do this?"

"Master Meng does have a keen ability to investigate cases beyond ordinary people. This point caused a sensation in the case of Bai Suxin's injustice in the capital a while ago. All of you colleagues know it, if it weren't for Lord Meng's cocooning. Find out the truth, the court almost framed a good person? ”

"Yes, yes......"

"Saint, Wei Chen thinks that if he can find out the truth about Tang Wei's death, Master Meng is the best choice!" Cao Nai solemnly said again.

Zhu Qizhen was a little surprised, Cao Nai was desperate, or did he really have confidence in Meng Yan?

Could it be that Tang Chun's death really has any inside story?

"Meng Aiqing!"

"Wechen is here!" Meng Yan walked out of the queue, lowered his head and agreed solemnly.

"You have heard it, Elder Cao Ge and all the adults nominated you to serve as the Qin Mission, and thoroughly investigate the case of Tang Wei's suicide, do you have anything to say?" Zhu Qizhen asked.

"The saint asked Weichen to check, and Weichen went to check, and the saint said that if he didn't check, Weichen wouldn't check." Meng Yan Road.

"Why is that?"

"Weichen is newly married, as Lord Wang said just now, it is the time for honey to mix oil, this goes out to investigate the case, and he must be reluctant to do so, naturally he is unwilling, but if it is a holy decree, he will naturally share his worries for the saint, so the minister can only give up his small family and take care of everyone." Meng Yan explained slowly.

"Well, I can't bear it in my heart, but what Cao Aiqing said just now is very reasonable, and only Meng Aiqing can find out about the case of Tang Qing's suicide!"

"Weichen doesn't dare, thank you for your praise!"

"Meng Yan obeys the order!"

"Wechen is here!" Meng Yan knelt down and said.

"I grant you the banner of the king's order, thoroughly investigate the case of Tang Wei's treason with the enemy, and in case of trouble, you can cut it first and then play it, and act cheaply, Qin this!" Zhu Qizhen said.

"Wechen thank the Holy Lord!"

"Meng Aiqing, get up, don't let down my expectations of you!" Zhu Qizhen raised his hand and ordered.

"Yes!"

Meng Yan suppressed the shock in his heart, the emperor actually ordered himself to investigate the Tang Wei case, what was going on?

It was completely unexpected to him, even if the emperor had doubts about Tang Qin's case, he should have sent an important minister to take charge of the matter, instead of sending a small thousand households like him to investigate such a case.

There was a hint of weirdness in this matter, and Meng Yan couldn't think of a reason for a while.

After the next dynasty, Meng Yan was left behind by the emperor.

"Meng Aiqing, are you surprised that I handed over Tang Wei's case to you to investigate?" Zhu Qizhen pointed directly at the doubts in Meng Yan's heart.

"Wechen's qualifications are still shallow, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public to investigate such a case, just now in the hall, if it weren't for the eyes of the saint, Wechen is afraid that he would refuse on the spot." Meng Yan Road.

"I know that if I don't give you that look, you'll really refuse on the spot." Zhu Qizhen sighed.

"Holy. In investigating and handling this kind of case, Weichen has no experience, not to mention that this case involves internal officials, the case is complicated, and there is a slight difference. There will be countless heads on the ground, and this is a chore. Meng Yan said cautiously.

"I know that it will be difficult for you to investigate this case, but after thinking about it, I can find out this case clearly. It can also make me trust, among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Aiqing is the only one! ”

"The saint praised it falsely, and Weichen really didn't dare to be it."

"I have given you the right to act cheaply, and I have given you another decree. If necessary, troops can be transferred, less than 3,000 people! Zhu Qizhen said.

"In what capacity does Weichen investigate the case?" Meng Yan asked.

This Qincha is just a title, and the officials sent by the emperor to the local area must always have an official position, and there must also be a name.

"What does Aiqing think of the Qincha Datong Inspector?"

"Holy Lord, there has never been such a position before, what are the duties, how to act, and what powers do you have?" Meng Yan asked.

"There is no precedent for this. However, this is just a stopgap measure, and it is not set up after the fact. As for the authority, the power of the case, as long as any case and the criminal involved in this case you have the right to investigate and deal with it, you can cut it first and then play it! ”

"Holy Lord, this power is too great!" Meng Yan was taken aback.

"All of these officials think that their officials are small and their power is small. Why Meng Aiqing, you actually think you have a lot of power? ”

"Holy. If power is out of checks, disaster is not far off. Wechen needs someone to supervise! Meng Yan said.

"This, who does Aiqing want to supervise?"

"As long as this person is upright and selfless, and is dedicated to the court and the saint, it doesn't matter if the minister is there!"

"Aiqing, I really didn't misunderstand you, to speak from my heart, I handed over such a lot of power to you, and I also had some drums in my heart, you are young and have little qualifications, but I believe in ability, but I am afraid that you will be blinded by power at that time, how many people are planted on this!" Zhu Qizhen said.

"Holy Wisdom!"

"Hung Yen!"

"The minions are here!"

"This is a little eunuch beside me, Meng Aiqing, I will send him to you to study, how about it?" Zhu Qizhen clapped his hands, and a eunuch wearing a young eunuch's uniform walked out from behind the tent.

"Xing'an has seen Master Meng!" Xing'an Chong Meng Yan bowed slightly.

"Father-in-law Xing is polite!"

Meng Yan knew that no matter how much the emperor trusted him, he would also send people to monitor him, after all, this was the tradition of the old Zhu family.

If Zhu Qizhen didn't send people, he wouldn't have gone on this trip, even if he should come down, find a way to delay time and not work, it wouldn't be easy?

"Xing'an, this trip to handle the case, Meng Aiqing is the main thing, what about you, just follow your side to take care of trivial things." Zhu Qizhen confessed to Xing'an Road.

"The slave understands that a qiē is the head of Lord Meng." Xing'an respectfully responded.

"Meng Aiqing, if you have any other requests, put them forward together, and I will agree as appropriate." Zhu Qizhen asked.

"Holy Lord, can Wechen bring his family?"

"Bringing family?" Zhu Qizhen was stunned, and didn't quite understand what Meng Yan meant?

"Weichen didn't just get married, so he left his wife alone to go out to handle the case, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back, so he thought, can I take her with me?"

"According to the rules of the imperial court, officials are vacant, especially those who are in the middle of the Qincha, and their families should stay in the capital, but this rule does not apply to you Aiqing, I am right!" Zhu Qizhen thought for a moment and said.

Meng Yan is alone, even if he takes the newlywed Guo Yue with him, isn't there a concubine and a brother-in-law?

Besides, Guo Nu, the old man, is also in Beijing, so what's not to worry about?

"Wechen has another request!"

"Say!"

"Wechen needs to use people to handle cases, and this is the most convenient way to use my own people, so, under the inspection department, can Wechen bring some people there?"

"This is also as it should be, I can't let you go over to handle the case with your bare hands, yes!" Zhu Qizhen thought about it and agreed, there were only three to five hundred people in the inspection department, and most of them were recruits in training.

Besides, it's normal for two or three hundred people to travel, to sound gongs to open the way, and to obey.

Meng Yan wants to use his own people, and that is also to handle the case easily, which is understandable. (To be continued) R580
