Chapter 748: Release on Bail Pending Trial
Craftsman's Division.
This is another position of Meng Yan, in addition to the Zhenfu Division, the Patrol Division, the Public Opinion Division and the Craftsman Division, all of which are basically operated by Meng Yan like an iron pass.
Whoever will be the pacification envoy of this Nanya will not be able to command it.
Since Meng Yan was demoted to the craftsman Si Qianhu, he only took care of the big things, and the small things were left to Tang Xiao to deal with.
On the contrary, in this way, Meng Yan has more time and energy to deal with other things.
If he were to be placed in the position of commanding affairs, I am afraid that a lot of time would be wasted on boring officialdom entertainment.
Especially the patrol rotation in the palace, this can't escape, and after the demotion, he doesn't need to go.
It's okay to go to the craftsman's office every day to order something, and the rest of the time, what to do, why to go, or even if you don't go for a few days, it doesn't matter.
The smooth and effective operation of the craftsman company, the sound internal mechanism, especially the incentive mechanism, which stimulates the enthusiasm of the craftsman company for 200%.
"My lord, it's already messed up here, do you still have the heart to wander here?"
"What's the matter, this official is a craftsman and a thousand households, shouldn't he be in his position and seek his own government?" Meng Yan smiled.
"Don't you know that Beiya dispatched a large number of horsemen today to seal up the Hejian Hall." Tang Xiao said anxiously.
"Isn't it just a Hejian Guild, what's the big deal, as long as it violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty, you still have to accept sanctions!" Meng Yan picked up a knife and observed it carefully, "This knife, the quenching time is too short, you look at the color and texture of this blade......"
"My lord, your eyes are too poisonous, and this knife villain is in a hurry, and you can see it."
"Slow work is the best way to do a good job. If your knife is in the hands of a soldier, once something happens, it will kill people, and people's lives are at stake, but you can't be careless! ”
"Yes, my lord taught me. I'm going to go back to the furnace and reforge it! The craftsman sweated profusely.
"Work hard, the official allows you to produce defective products, but you are not allowed to cut corners, understand?"
"Understood!"
"Let's go, let's go to the duty room and talk." Meng Yan interrupted the inspection work and came out of the foundry with Tang Xiao.
"My lord, did you already know about Beiya's movements?"
"Yes, that's my order."
Tang Xiao was surprised.
"Well, it doesn't matter much to you. Take care of the craftsman for me, I'm afraid that this official will not be able to take care of it for a while, and the safety of the craftsman must be guarded for me. ”
"Understood, sir."
"My lord, the forces behind this Hejian Guild Hall are complicated, will we stab a hornet's nest?" Tang Xiao asked cautiously.
"This time it's bigger than a hornet's nest, don't ask so much. Do your thing well, and you'll be fine. Meng Yan gently patted Tang Xiao's shoulder.
Tang Xiao was shocked. He is Meng Yan's descendant, although there are some secrets that he is not qualified to contact now, but he also knows some of them, and his young boss has this terrifying force under his hands.
It would be amazing if this force all surfaced.
He didn't dare to ask Meng Yan if he wanted to rebel, but if he Meng Yan wanted to rebel. Secretly developing forces, this is said in the past.
But Meng Yan rarely had contact with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and even said that apart from some friends, he did not have much contact with other ministers at all.
And now, although Wang Zhen is in charge of the government, the government is not corrupted. The impact of the turmoil within the imperial court on the lives of the common people was not too great.
Tang Xiao thought of Ji Gang, the head of the Jinyi Wei during the Yongle Dynasty, so a person who leaned towards the government and the opposition, for the sake of the emperor, could say that all the bad things were done.
In the end, unloading the mill and killing the donkey, of course, Ji Gang did do a lot of bad things that people and gods were angry about, he was too greedy and too cruel.
So it should not end well.
But although Master Meng also has means, similar to Ji Gang in some aspects, he is a good official, he has never bullied the people, and he is a good official who avenges the people.
I'm afraid he's doing this to guard against himself going that far, right?
A companion is like a tiger!
Don't look at the infinite scenery now, but the danger here is not something that ordinary people can bear and deal with.
Jinyi Weibei Ya, edict prison.
The Hejian Guild Hall was seized, and hundreds of suspects were arrested, and the Beiya dispatched hundreds of horsemen to surround the Hejian Guild Hall at once, and many of the people inside were arrested.
There was no news in advance, it was a complete surprise attack, and the people who were arrested were stunned, and many of them were dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing.
This is no small matter.
Without reporting, Jin Yiwei suddenly raided the Hejian Guild Hall, which immediately shook the entire city of Beijing.
Hui Chang Bo Mansion!
The atmosphere froze, Jinyiwei suddenly seized the Hejian Hall, and the Sun family was caught off guard for a while, and they had already sent someone to the palace to report the news, but the person had not returned.
If it weren't for the fact that the relationship between the Huichangbo Mansion and the Hejian Guild Hall could not be exposed, Sun Jizong would have led someone to find the Jinyiwei theory.
"Uncle, the eldest young master is back." The butler bowed.
"The chain is back?" Sun Jizong stood up in surprise.
Sun Lian walked in with a eunuch in tow, his face was very bad, obviously the news of the seizure of the Hejian Hall was also very surprising to him.
Jin Yiwei suddenly made such a big move, without the slightest warning in advance, he didn't believe that Jin Yiwei didn't know who was behind the Hejian Guild Hall.
Knowing it, Jin Yiwei still did it.
He was shocked, he didn't know if it was Jin Yiwei's own initiative, or if it was his emperor's cousin.
If it was Jin Yiwei's own opinion, there was still room for redemption in this matter, and if it was the emperor's cousin's intention, it would be troublesome.
"Dad, what's going on, the Hejian Hall has been running well, why was it suddenly seized by Jinyiwei?" Sun Lian asked.
"Dad, I don't know, I just know that early this morning, Jinyi Wei Beiya dispatched nearly 300 horsemen, and Fu Xiaochen personally led the team to surround the Hejian Hall and take everyone away. Now all these people have been imprisoned by the Jinyi Guard. Sun Jizong said.
"All of them are under the Jinyi Guard?" Sun Lian listened and couldn't help opening his mouth wide.
"Yes, all of them are in prison!"
"Aren't there hundreds of people, what do Jinyiwei want to do, Xing Prison?" Sun Lian smashed his lips and said in horror.
"I don't know. In addition to the Hejian Guild Hall, many of our family's industries were hit by Jinyiwei this time, and they suffered heavy losses. Sun Jizong said.
"Is it only for our Sun family?"
"On the surface, our Sun family's property is still safe, but it's ......," Sun Jizong said with a frown.
"The seizures are all related to the Chrysanthemum Society?" Sun Lian's face also changed.
"That's right, most of the things that Jinyiwei seized this time are related to my Sun family, and they are related to the Chrysanthemum Society."
"No wonder, Dad, I'll go back at once, tell my aunt about it, and you wait for news from me at home. Don't move. Sun Lian admonished, and hurried back to the palace again.
The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.
"Guo Aiqing, why didn't you tell me in advance about such a big matter as arresting the remnants of the White Lotus Sect?"
"Master Guo, you can't help but take the saint in your heart." Wang Zhen viciously slandered.
"Qiqi Sheng, the reason why Wei Chen cut first and then played is because Wei Chen found that the White Lotus Cult had infiltrated into the palace. So Wechen had to guard against it. ”
"What, the White Lotus Cult has infiltrated the palace!" Emperor Zhu Qizhen was shocked like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail.
"Lord Guo. Alarmist, right? Wang Zhen said with a sneering face.
"Holy Lord, does Wang Weng still have to compare with the attack on the Yamen of the Jinyi Guard Inspectorate last year?" Guo asked angrily.
Wang Zhen trembled, although more than a year has passed, everyone still remembers it vividly, although the person who attacked the case was already dead, and finally it was closed.
But Dongchang suffered a big loss. was also charged with colluding with the White Lotus Cult, and was pressed by the Jinyi Guard to hold his head up.
Now that Guo Nu has brought up the old matter again, this path has become one of the evidences of the infiltration of the White Lotus Cult in the palace.
Dongchang is not a group of eunuchs in power, and there are suspected White Lotus cultists under them, so will there be people among these eunuchs in charge of power?
"Guo Aiqing. Do you have proof? ”
"Wechen only has some clues, but if you talk about substantive evidence, there is none." Guo said angrily.
"Since there is no substantial evidence, then why are you hiding it from the Holy One?"
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, once the news leaks, these people get the news and run away, they will definitely be the party in the future, Wang Weng, are you responsible for this?" Guo asked angrily.
"What does this have to do with the old man?"
"Shengshang, Weichen has ordered to raid their stronghold in the capital, and found a large number of the teachings they printed, as well as weapons, grain and grass, and they also changed their appearance and established an organization called the Chrysanthemum Society to cover up their true purpose......
"It's terrible, these people are simply terrible, Guo Aiqing, if you don't make a decisive move, if you let these people escape, this will be endless trouble!" When the emperor heard this, his face turned a little pale with fright.
"They also colluded with the people who infiltrated the palace, stole and sold the royal things, and then used the money to buy the palace maids, eunuchs, and micro-ministers, and conducted an inspection of the eunuchs in the palace and the palace maids, and all eunuchs who entered the palace from the palace, those under the age of forty, must be screened!"
"It's too big, isn't it?"
"Your Majesty, screening does not necessarily require asking people one by one, you can start with the archives, and if you find any doubts, then conduct an in-depth and detailed investigation, and the same is true for eunuchs!" Guo said angrily.
"Well, what Aiqing said is reasonable, if there is a large-scale screening, people in the palace will inevitably be panicked, so it's best to do this." Zhu Qizhen nodded, for his own safety, how could he not agree?
"Holy Lord, this matter needs to be carried out quietly, and it can't alarm anyone in the palace, so Wechen implores the Holy Lord to hand over this case to Jinyiwei for investigation, and in addition, all the files of eunuchs and palace maids also need to be handed over to Weichen."
"That's a reasonable request, and I'm right."
"Lord Guo, you have arrested so many people at once, and there are many innocent among them, you can't rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go, right?"
"Of course, anyone who has a guarantee and guarantees to be on call can be released on bail pending trial, and those who find out that they have nothing to do with the White Lotus Cult will naturally not be investigated, and if it is found that they are related, the guarantor and the insured will be investigated together." Guo Nu explained.
"On bail pending trial, this must have been thought up by that Master Meng of your family, right?"
"Wang Weng sees that this official is old?"
"You're not old, you're old, and you can still give birth to a son!"
"It's a pity that you can't give birth!" (To be continued......)
