Chapter 232: Prison Visit
Whether to care about the unjust case of "Bai Suxin", Meng Yan has been thinking about it in his heart, first of all, this case doesn't seem to have much to do with him.
And it is impossible for Dongchang to let his case fall into the hands of Jinyiwei again, if he lets himself be overturned again.
That would be tantamount to a slap in the face to Dongchang, as far as the current relationship between Dongchang and Jinyiwei is concerned, it is really worse.
Of course, Meng Yan is not afraid of Dongchang.
But for such an irrelevant case, if you talk to Dongchang, is it worth it, maybe Bai Suxin is wronged, but there are many unjust cases in the world.
But if you are really ruthless, your conscience will inevitably be condemned again.
If you want him to take care of it, what excuse is it, even if the fiancΓ© who was murdered to death by Bai Suxin and the adulterer is a brocade guard, it will not be his turn to be a treasurer.
If you want to manage it, it has to be the Nan Yali Criminal Division, which has nothing to do with the Craftsman Division.
The rectification of law and order in the capital was soon coming to an end, and it seemed that the time was too short for the common people.
And those who have been punished and lost in the rectification of law and order, as well as the officials behind it, want it to end sooner.
And Jin Yiwei handed over the seized illegal property and confiscated silver taels in this operation, totaling more than 283,700 taels!
This number shocked the government and the opposition!
The officials who impeached the corrupt and lawless Jinyi Wei collectively lost their voices one by one!
Of course, many people think that the Jinyi Guards will enrich their own pockets, and this is only a part, or even a very small part, of their confiscation and confiscation.
But then Jin Yiwei handed over an account book. All the confiscated property and the money that were confiscated and confiscated were registered.
And there are also signatures and handprints of the people who were fined in the account books!
Facts have proved that Jinyiwei has paid a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and has not embezzled a penny of money from it, and all confiscation and fines are based on the laws of the imperial court, which is reasonable and lawful, and can withstand confrontation!
Zhu Qizhen was very happy, Guo Nu took over Jinyiwei, and gave him a pretty good report card, which was a hundred times stronger than that Ma Shun.
It not only established the prestige of the imperial court in the hearts of the people, but also changed the Jinyiwei has always deceived the good and feared the evil. Negative image of bullying the good. It also added an objective income to the depleted treasury and helped the imperial court to tide over a difficult time.
Guo Nu not only regained the treatment of the second grade, but also specially entered the martial arts from the second rank to protect the army, and was honored and favored.
The brocade guards are also rewarded. There were thirteen people who were rewarded with flying fish suits. Two unicorns. One of them was given to Fu Xiaochen, the new envoy of Beizhen.
With the success of the law and order rectification operation, the emperor's support for various reforms of Jinyiwei was also strengthened.
The questionnaire survey written by Meng Yan also quietly began at the end of the year.
Although the questionnaire mainly involves officers above the general flag, this questionnaire. It has set off a lot of waves in Jinyiwei.
All the officers who have participated in the Jinyiwei ideological work conference know very well that the reform matters discussed at the meeting are not pies, and they may really be implemented!
There is no impermeable crack in this world, Jinyiwei is carrying out internal distribution system reform, and the court is watching it up and down!
The East Factory is the tightest, and there is almost a taste of grass and trees.
The civilian clique has just suffered a loss on the issue of impeaching Jinyiwei, so even if they knew, they would not dare to make a fuss lightly.
The military generals group is ready to move, if the reform of Jinyiwei is successful, will it be extended, this is what they are worried about!
Those with vested interests are not willing to let their own interests be shared by others.
Jinyiwei is only a small department of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has more than two million troops, and Jinyiwei accounts for about one percent.
There are less than ten days to go before the New Year, this is the first New Year for Meng Yan to come to the Ming Dynasty, and the streets of Chang'an are full of snow.
"Son, Mrs. Rain has arrived."
"Well, let's get over it!" On the carriage, Meng Yan raised his eyes slightly and commanded.
"No!"
"Drive!"
Guanchengfang, the gate of the prison of the Criminal Department.
Dressed in silver, a white Qiu beauty, holding a red Luo umbrella in her hand, stepping on a pair of pointed scalp boots, and carrying a carved red lacquered food box in her hand.
The sky is grey and the goose-feather snow is falling from the sky, indicating that next year could be a good year.
"Light rain?" The carriage listened behind the beauty, and a familiar voice sounded, and she turned her head in astonishment.
"Your Excellency?" Wen Xiaoyu looked at Meng Yan who walked down from the carriage in surprise, wearing a black velvet coat, stepping on a pair of thin-soled black boots, a silver belt, and a unicorn suit, showing that the identity of the person who came was extraordinary.
"Relatives or friends?"
"My lord, I'm ......" Wen Xiaoyu didn't know how to explain, after all, she was hiding a lot from Meng Yan in this matter.
"You want me to help, but you don't tell you the truth of the matter, why?" Meng Yan asked.
"I'm afraid of embarrassing adults!" Wen Xiaoyu lowered his head and explained.
"You and I are husband and wife, your business is my business, why bother it?" Meng Yan Road.
"My lord, this matter is too difficult, Xiaoyu regrets this in front of you!" Smell the light rain road.
"You mentioned it all, what do you regret doing, let's not talk about it first, let's go see people first." Meng Yan Road.
"Miss Wen, you are here again, every month at this time, you come to see Miss Bai!" The guards at the gate of the prison seemed to be familiar with Wen Xiaoyu.
Wen Xiaoyu took out a few pieces of broken silver and handed them over: "I'm tired." β
"What's polite, Miss Wen is so good to the little ones, it should be!" The guards didn't check anything, and were ready to open the door and let Wen Xiaoyu in.
But Meng Yan was blocked.
"Who are you, you can't go in!"
"Why can she go in and I can't?" Meng Yan was very displeased.
"Miss Wen is different from you, we don't know you, how can we let you in casually?" Guarding the Road.
"My lord, he's coming with me." Wen Xiaoyu hurriedly explained that Meng Yan deliberately covered the Qilin Mansion inside with a big hat. From the outside, he looks like a rich young man.
"Miss Wen, don't embarrass us, you are a friend of Lord Zhang Xuan, naturally there is no problem to go in, but this gentleman can't!"
"Can't I even guarantee it?" Wen Xiaoyu frowned slightly.
"No, there are rules in the prison of the Criminal Department, no strangers can be allowed to enter, you must know that the people who are imprisoned here are all repeat offenders, in case of a fork, we can't afford it." Guarding the Road.
"Can you make it easier? This gentleman is a friend of mine. I went in and left him outside, not so good? β
"Miss Wen, don't embarrass us. All right? β
Meng Yan didn't want to show his identity. In this way, the people from Dongchang and the Criminal Department soon knew that he had come. It's easy to startle the snake.
But now it seems that he can't do it without revealing his identity, and these two guards are desperate to prevent him from entering.
People are on business. It seems that he really can't accuse others of anything, and besides, he didn't greet the criminal department in advance, which is not in line with the rules.
"It's all right, right?" Meng Yan stretched out his hand and handed the guard a jade plaque.
When the guard saw the jade plate, he immediately knelt down in fright: "The little one doesn't know the identity of the adult, and the little one should be damned!" β
"Forget it, I don't want people to know my identity, so I asked Miss Wen to cover it up, it's not wrong for you to do this, be loyal to your duties, I don't blame you, get up!"
"Thank you, sir!"
The two guards stood aside with their heads bowed and trembling.
"Can I go in now?" Meng Yan asked.
"Yes, yes, please come in, sir!"
"Don't reveal my identity, when asked, just say that I came with Miss Wen, understand?"
"Understood, understood!" The two guards nodded repeatedly.
"Don't worry, the two errands, something happened, just go to Songhe Tower to find me!" Wen Xiaoyu assured.
"Yes, yes......"
"My lord, what did you show those two guards?" Entering the door, Wen Xiaoyu asked curiously.
"Beaulieu tokens that can enter and exit the palace at any time!" Meng Yan smiled slightly.
Wen Xiaoyu hurriedly covered his lips in shock, this thing can be said to be rare in the entire Ming Dynasty, even the old ministers may not give it, how can Meng Yan have this thing?
"How can adults ......?"
"Because of the relationship between the queen mother, I may enter the palace at any time, and the saint temporarily gave me this token."
"I see."
"Miss Wen, have you come to see Miss Bai again?"
"Yes, yes."
"Sister Xiaohua, I'm going to trouble you again!" Wen Xiaoyu was very familiar with the situation in the prison of the Criminal Department, and took Meng Yan all the way to the Women's Prison Department.
A female cell head in her forties, with a red flower on her head, a wrinkled smile on her face, and layers of powder fell to the ground.
If it weren't for the uniform of the public gate, I would have thought that this was the old bustard of the Qinglou.
"You're welcome, Wenda shopkeeper usually takes such good care of us, Xiaohua I understand it in my heart." The cell head named Xiaohua grinned, revealing two rows of yellow teeth, and looked a little panicked in this cold prison of the Criminal Department.
"Sister Xiaohua, it's almost the New Year, let's tear a piece of flower cloth to make new clothes for the child." As soon as Wen Xiaoyu stretched out his hand, a piece of broken silver arrived in Zhang Xiaohua's hand.
"Yo, then I'll thank the shopkeeper for my girl!" The smile on Zhang Xiaohua's face widened.
"Sister Xiaohua, how is my innocent sister lately?"
"It's okay, but the body doesn't seem to be very good these two days, women, there are a few days every month, smell the shopkeeper, you know."
"I understand, I understand." Wen Xiaoyu nodded awkwardly, "I'm tired of Sister Xiaohua, I'll go in to see her." β
Wen Xiaoyu raised his feet and walked towards the women's prison, followed by Meng Yan.
"The women's prison is heavy, and the men stop!" Zhang Xiaohua crossed her waist and stopped Meng Yan.
"I'm with the shopkeeper!"
"It's not okay to be together, all the prisoners here are female prisoners, what are you doing with a man who has nothing to do with it?" Zhang Xiaohua glared.
"Is it true that as long as you are a man, you can't go to the women's prison?"
"Of course, except for the old men of the Criminal Department!"
"Can I go in?" Meng Yan opened his big mouth, revealing a unicorn official robe.
"The old woman doesn't know that the master is coming, and the sin deserves death!" When Zhang Xiaohua saw the unicorn robe, she was so frightened that she immediately knelt down!
An official wearing a unicorn robe must at least be above the fourth grade, such a young fourth-grade official, it must be after the meritorious service, it is easier to crush her to death a small female cell head than to crush an ant, how can she not be afraid?
"Can I go in?"
"Yes, yes, sir, please come in!"
"Don't let anyone know I've been here, otherwise, you know the consequences!" Meng Yan closed the big drum, snorted coldly, and entered the women's cell with Wen Xiaoyu. (To be continued......)
