"Since this is the case, it is only natural that Meng Aiqing should arrest the people of the Fuwei Dart Bureau." Zhu Qizhen said.

"Master, the Fuwei Dart Bureau is a traitor after all, although it is related to the case investigated by Lord Meng, but the criminal should be handed over to the East Factory!" Wang Zhen hurriedly said.

"What Mr. said is also reasonable, Meng Aiqing, you can transfer the prisoners to Dongchang."

"Your Majesty, not to mention that Weichen can't hand over the prisoners, even if he is handed over, he has to wait for Weichen to ask things clearly, right?" Meng Yan Road.

"Meng Yan, what do you mean, you have to disobey the emperor's will?"

"According to the rules set by the emperor, the Dongchang prisoner should be handed over to Jinyiwei for interrogation, that is to say, the prisoners in Dongchang must be imprisoned in Jinyiwei Imperial Prison, and now that the prisoner is already in the Imperial Prison, why should he be handed over?" Meng Yan asked rhetorically.

"This ......" Wang Zhen was stunned, indeed when the East Factory was set up, such a rule was set, and it was strictly followed at the beginning, when Ma Shun was the commander, the prisoners of the East Factory were basically imprisoned in Jinyiwei, except for some special prisoners, they would be kept in their own private prisons.

However, this is inconsistent with reason and law.

Meng Yan seized this point and told Wang Zhen about the rules, didn't you Wang Zhen take off the iron plate of "eunuchs can't interfere in politics" hanging on the palace gate of Taizu?

Don't you talk about the rules, Lao Tzu will tell you the rules!

Zhu Qizhen also understood, didn't you, you Dongchang arrested someone, but you still can't be dragged to Jinyiwei Prison for detention and interrogation?

The process is different, but the result is not the same.

"Sir, what Meng Aiqing said is also reasonable, people are arrested and imprisoned, the result is the same?"

"Master. This Tang Qin's case was undertaken by my East Factory, and Master Meng intervened, what is going on? Wang Zhen said dissatisfiedly.

"Meng Aiqing, this Tang Wei's case was indeed handed over to Dongchang for investigation, don't you know yet?"

"Weichen doesn't know, no one sues sù Weichen himself can investigate himself." Meng Yan had anger in his heart. In addition to most of the Wang Zhen, there are also some for the emperor.

"Investigate yourself, Meng Aiqing, what do you mean I shouldn't hand over Tang Wei's case to Dongchang to handle?" Zhu Qizhen asked with some displeasure.

"Weichen doesn't dare, what Weichen means, since Guo Jing, the guard of Datong Town, is from the Si Li Jian and is a subordinate of Wang Weng, this case is reported and exposed by him, and this is different. This Datong is thousands of miles away, the so-called human evidence and physical evidence, are all a few words and lines of words submitted by Guo Jing, the emperor has not seen it, and Weichen and others have not seen it, so it is too hasty to deal with the Fuwei Dart Bureau in such a hurry? Meng Yan said solemnly.

This is already a blunt statement.

Zhu Qizhen's face was gloomy and uncertain, and no one didn't like to listen to flattery. Loyalty is against the ear, this is a common disease of people.

Meng Yan is different from other courtiers. Zhu Qizhen was at least willing to listen to his words, but if it was another small thousand households, he would have been dragged out of the cane and blamed.

"Master Meng, there are all human and physical evidence. The people of Fuwei Dart are the traitors, what are your intentions in defending the traitors? Wang Zhen asked sharply.

"Wang Weng, where did you hear that the official defended the traitor, the official just stated an objective fact." Meng Yan said-for-tat.

"Guo Jing has been diligent in his tenure as a superintendent. The master knows this, and his investigation will never be wrong! ”

"May I ask Wang Weng, how many of the impeachments of Guo Jing are known to the emperor every year?" Meng Yan asked coldly.

Wang Zhen's eyes shrank: "Those are all imaginary things, I have investigated this clearly, it is pure slander!" ”

"Since it is slander, then why not punish the sins of those who are impeached, although this dynasty can hear about it, but it cannot frame others at will, if the slander is confirmed, it will be punished, at least when the officials are evaluated, they should be lowered by one grade?" Meng Yan said, "What's more, do these emperors know? ”

Wang Zhen was shocked, in the past two years, he did suppress a lot of impeachment of Guo Jing for violating discipline, and in the end, he did not submit it to the emperor because there was no evidence, or he directly detained it, which was a big taboo.

If this matter is turned out at other times, Wang Zhensan will explain it in two sentences, and he will be able to fool the past in front of the emperor.

After all, the emperor is young and playful, so he doesn't like cumbersome government affairs.

However, at this time, Meng Yan turned it out, and said it directly to the emperor.

"Master, the old slave does this for the master, the officials below always think that we are not normal people, and we are deeply trusted by the master, they are jealous, and then make something out of nothing, fabricate accusations, such things often happen, so this kind of thing, as long as it is verified once, the old slave below will naturally no longer believe it, for this kind of nonsense, always bother the master, then the old slave, the chief eunuch of ceremonies, is not too incompetent?" Wang Zhen explained with emotion that he deliberately deceived the Holy Hearing.

After Zhu Qizhen heard this, there was a hint of emotion in his eyes, Wang Zhen was so loyal to him, and he imagined for him everywhere, such a courtier and teacher, this was really what he wanted.

Meng Yan's eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of gloom, Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zhen's trust in the teacher-student relationship between father and son is not so easy to break, no wonder, it is that after the "Tumubao" incident, Wang Zhen was hammered to death, after Zhu Qizhen was reinstated, he often missed him, and even built an ancestral hall to commemorate him, which can be said to be chilling.

"Sir has been wronged, and your credit is clear." Zhu Qizhen said encouragingly.

"Meng Aiqing, you have heard it, Mr. Wang I can completely trust it." Zhu Qizhen turned his head and said to Meng Yan.

"Your Majesty, if Wang Weng is really selfless, why don't you hand over the case and let others investigate, after all, Guo Jing is Wang Weng's subordinate, and he should avoid suspicion?" Meng Yan exhaled and said solemnly.

"Then Master Meng is saying that the old man's judgment is unfair?" Wang Zhen received the support of the emperor, and his eyes on Meng Yan also became aggressive.

"Based on the report of the Datong Supervision Military Office, can it be concluded that the Datong Inspector Yu Shi Tang and the Fuwei Dart Bureau are guilty of smuggling and collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country?" Meng Yan asked rhetorically.

"Isn't it possible, Guo Jing has already obtained human and physical evidence, which is enough to prove these rebellious ministers and thieves!" Wang Zhen snorted coldly.

"If I say that I have evidence and physical evidence to prove that you Wang Weng was corrupt and took bribes, can you also arrest Wang Weng and be imprisoned for questioning?"

"Nonsense, how can the old man be corrupt and take bribes?"

"Then how does Wang Weng know that Lord Tang and the Fuwei Dart Bureau are not wronged, you see the evidence. Have you seen a witness? ”

"Although the old man didn't see the evidence, and he didn't see the witnesses, the old man believed that Guo Jing, the prison guard of Datong."

"Do you believe the original Gonggong Cao of the East Factory?"

"This ......"

"He can condone his nephew's adultery under your nose and under your nose, and he takes bribes and colludes with others to protect murderers. also framed a good person in prison and almost had his head cut off, do you dare to say, does Cao Jixiang really not know the inside story? Meng Yan asked sharply, "Cao Qin is his nephew and servant, and he himself is also the eunuch of Bingbi, the commander of Dongchang, he will not know these things." Even if you don't know it at first, you'll know it afterwards, right? ”

"What does this case have to do with the current case?" Wang Zhen said angrily.

"Cao Jixiang and Guo Jing, Wang Weng, who do you trust more, and who do you trust more?" Meng Yan haha and asked rhetorically.

"Master, Master Meng, this is a strong word!" Wang Zhen's face was red and white for a while. It was obvious that his wisdom and eloquence were defeated in front of Meng Yan.

Zhu Qizhen was silent, he trusted Wang Zhen. But in the previous Bai Suxin unjust case, Cao Jixiang's identity is similar to Guo Jing's, and he is also Wang Zhen's subordinate, although it is not Cao Jixiang himself, but his own nephew is also the identity of a slave. That's family.

Of course, a case of injustice against Bai Suxin is too trivial compared to a major case of smuggling, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

Whether there is a grievance in this, no one can say. The dart master of the Fuwei Dart Bureau who escorted Mrs. Tang Wen's mother and son had just been killed, and the killer was actually Guo Jing's guard, a person from Dongchang.

Subsequently, Tang Chu was arrested by Guo Jing on charges of "smuggling, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country", and the mansion was raided.

There is really no connection between this, Zhu Qizhen is young, but not confused, if he wants to say that people are not selfish, he will not believe it.

Wang Zhen is a little partial to his own people, which is normal, that is, those concubines in his harem, he also likes and likes them very much, and he also likes them before and doesn't like them now.

It is indeed a bit inappropriate to hand over the case of Guo Jing's smuggling, collaboration with the enemy and traitor to Dongchang for investigation and handling, and it is not that he has decided to hand over the case to Wang Zhenhe Dongchang for investigation.

It's just that according to the usual practice, I'd rather miss it than let it go, and arrest people first.

Of course, Zhu Qizhen will not know that Wang Zhen does not just want to arrest people, but wants to kill people and kill people.

Meng Yan didn't say this, and he also knew that even if he sued Emperor Wang Zhen for wanting to kill people, the emperor might not believe his words, and even doubt him because of this.

This will undoubtedly have an even more adverse impact on the current unfavorable situation, so he chose not to say it.

"Your Majesty, you previously appointed Wechen to investigate the murder case on the outskirts of the city, and the minister just had such a clue, do you see, did Wechen also transfer this case to Dongchang?"

"Okay, two cases and one case, just investigate together, Lord Meng's mention is very good." When Wang Zhen heard this, he thought he had heard it wrong, and immediately reacted.

"Meng Aiqing, I also trust you, in this way, since the people from the Fuwei Dart Bureau are arrested by you, then you will try it first, and you will continue to investigate the murder case, and wait for Guo Jing to escort Tang Chu into Beijing!" Zhu Qizhen thought for a moment and said.

"Master?"

"Sir, you don't need to say it again, you and Meng Aiqing are both my ministers, and I trust them, but a while ago, Cao Jixiang's matter, whether Dongchang can take on this important responsibility, I am very skeptical, if Mr. personally investigates the case, then it is useless, who will take care of a lot of my affairs?" Zhu Qizhen gave his reasons.

"Yes, master!" Wang Zhen said bitterly, he knew that if he insisted any longer, he was afraid that he would leave a bad impression in the emperor's heart.

Meng Yan breathed a sigh of relief, this article was retreating as advancing, but it made the emperor reassess his trust, not only did not take back the previous investigation power, but also handed over the interrogation of Fuwei Dart Bureau and others to himself.

This is undoubtedly quite advantageous. (To be continued......)
