Han Jian has been in Luoyang for a long time, but he has never had any contact with the king of Yanning County. The king of Yanning County is low-key, and he will not participate in the banquets of the palace, except for the banquet of the Spring Festival. The only thing Han Jian and the king of Yanning County have been relieved of is Yang Qingle, the granddaughter of the king of Yanning County, who is the "little white face" who was with the third prince Yang Yu on the night of Li Wei's death.

"Young boy, this Tang Sheng, how can we deal with it?" Seeing that Han Jian was silent, Sima couldn't help asking.

Han Jian thought about it, now the two yamen of the household department and the treasury department are almost served by him, and the two yamen are also in a state of paralysis, and now it is such a moment when the summer grain is put into storage, and he is doing this on the one hand to recover the loss for the imperial court, and at the same time, it is also causing the imperial court to suffer losses. Since this Hubu Shangshu could not prove his guilt for the time being, let him go first, and if there was a Hubu Shangshu, it would be more convenient for the imperial court to arrange new personnel to take over the affairs of the two yamen.

"You can check Tang Sheng's matter first, but if there is no evidence, don't ask about it first." Han Jian said.

Sima Yi and the others naturally didn't say anything, and now there are enough people who have been arrested, and Han Jian doesn't want to make trouble, and these people can understand.

When everyone went down, only Han Jian and Yang Xi were left, and Yang Xi asked, "Brother Han, are you worried that you will not be able to explain to my cousin if you take that Tang Sheng?" ”

Han Jian does have some concerns, for the time being, Han Jian is not clear about the depth of the King of Yanning County, and it is difficult to say whether it will have an impact on the situation if he is so rashly opposed to the King of Yanning County. Therefore, Han Jian temporarily let Tang Sheng go, which was also to give face to the king of Yanning County, and some people had to observe some things slowly. Han Jian didn't believe that a royal county king could really be so indifferent and ignore power in front of power.

In the course of a day. Han Jian has a lot of things to deal with. Although Han Jian was ordered by the emperor to investigate the case, he did not have the power of judicial trial. He could not convict the offender, but only ascertain the facts of the case for trial by the members of the three divisions. By mid-afternoon. Yang Xi, who had been checking the confession in the back, came over with a confession in surprise and said: "Brother Han, I finally know the record about Li Wei, here the Treasury Office said that he had been instructed by the Ma Commander to give Li Shilang of the Criminal Department six hundred taels of silver, and also said that there is a receipt, can we find it?" ”

Han Jian smiled, he arranged for Yang Xi to find the case related to Li Wei, in fact, he sent a task to Yang Xi. lest Yang Xi ask too much and think too much. Han Jian had already sent people to search Li Wei's mansion earlier, and had already found a lot of money and "incriminating evidence", and also found some officials who wanted to protect themselves, and proved that Li Wei was involved in the case.

Han Jian smiled and encouraged: "Okay, having Yang Gongzi find out like this proves that the moths of the imperial court are not only in the treasury and the household department. It is very likely that this case is also involved in other yamen, so now we will write a transcript and submit it to His Majesty, and leave it to His Majesty to decide. ”

Yang Xi was a little happy and said: "It's so good, it's ...... to play this book."

"The recital will be written by you, Young Master Yang." Han Jian said.

"I ......" Yang Xi was a little unconfident. But I haven't written it, I've seen other ministers write a book to my sister before, and I don't know how to write it. ”

Han Jian said with a smile: "The main thing in the book is to state the facts of the case, don't say anything redundant." If there are changes in the format and content after writing, I will find someone to give Yang Gongzi you a detailed reference. Young Master Yang, you first write a rough herbal book. ”

Yang Xi was eager to try: "Okay." ”

Han Jian gave Yang Xi the character who wrote the recital, also so that Yang Xi could show himself in front of the empress. It proves that he has contributed to the investigation of the case. This is the best time for Yang Xi to stand up in front of the courtiers, and also to prepare him for becoming the prince in the future.

Although Han Jian also knows. This time, Yang Xi is good, and he may be made the crown prince. He will soon be sent to Nanqi, but he is no longer allowed to make other choices. Han Jian thought, maybe it may not be a good thing for Yang Xi to go to Nanqi to be a proton now, it is a kind of experience for Yang Xi, and Yang Xi also needs such an experience. With Yang Xi's current cowardice and soft ears, if he lives in this kind of greenhouse all the year round, he will only become a big embroidered pillow in the end, and he will not be a Ming monarch if he inherits the throne. If Yang Xi arrives in Southern Qi, facing the wolves, tigers and leopards around him, Yang Xi will gradually understand the sinister nature of the world, and with the identity of the prince, he will return to the country in the future and ascend the throne as the emperor.

After Yang Xi finished writing the recital, Han Jian took a closer look, and did not let Yang Xi revise it, so he let people enter the palace to present the empress.

When the recital was sent, Yang Xi's mind was on the messenger, and he really hoped that his recital would be affirmed by his sister. When Han Jian was there to sort out the case files and prepare to hand them over to the Sansi Yamen in the coming day, Yang Xi stood at the gate of the Tingwei Mansion, waiting for the messenger to come back like a wangfu cliff.

In the afternoon, Yang Xi did not wait for the messenger to reply, but waited for Gu Weipan, the chief minister of the Upper Hearing Office.

Several official sedan chairs in the Shangting Office were parked outside the Tingwei's Mansion, and several ministers came out of the sedan chair, headed by Gu Weipan, in addition to Gu Weipan, there were also some officials from the Fengcha Division of the Shangting Office. When Han Jian heard that Gu Weipan was coming, he also had to go out to greet him.

"Chief Gu, who are you?" Han Jianxin said that this was a coincidence, he didn't go to the listening office to "sit on duty", and he had met Gu Weipan three times in the past two days. The first time was when Gu Weipan questioned him about his courtship with Gu Xin'er, and the second time was when the two met at the gate of the palace in the morning.

"By the will of His Majesty, come and cooperate with the East King to handle the case." When Gu Weipan saw Han Jian, he didn't seem to be able to wipe his face, and said with a dark face.

Han Jian smiled slightly, before Yang Xi said that the case might involve people from other yamen in the imperial court, which involved the task of Feng Chasi, which was to supervise and assess the officials in Luoyang. The empress sent people from the Fengcha Division to cooperate in handling the case, and they also acted according to the rules.

"Chief Gu, please." Han Jian said with a smile.

Gu Weipan glanced at Han Jian, wondering what kind of person Han Jian was. In his opinion, although Han Jian is the king of the east, he is also a hairy boy after all, he looks down on young people like Han Jian, but on this day, Han Jian made Luoyang City full of storms, first overstepping his authority to seal the treasury and take people, and then found out the corruption and deficit cases hidden in the household department and the treasury for many years. This made him, an old minister who claimed to be the emperor's minister, ashamed of it.

Now Han Jian is looking for someone to go to the empress and say that the case may involve people from other yamen, obviously to expand the situation. With Gu Weipan's experience as an official in the court for so many years, any case has a degree, and if the situation is expanded, the court will be limited to a semi-paralyzed state, which is a result that the empress does not want to see. In Gu Weipan's opinion, Han Jian was a little immature.

Therefore, for some ministers who only took the money of the people involved in the case and turned a blind eye to the case in the past, according to Gu Weipan's idea, it is okay to get by, just don't know. He thought now, Han Jian must not understand this. Therefore, even if Han Jian has a "great merit" in his body now, Gu Weipan is still very disdainful, because he feels that he can better understand His Majesty's mind and the rules of the imperial court.

Han Jian accompanied Gu Weipan to the inner hall of the Tingwei Mansion, and at this time, in the inner hall, the matter of questioning the case was basically over. The incriminating evidence that should have been found has basically been found, the confessions are being sorted out, and some of the stolen money has been transported to the Tingwei Mansion, and some have been directly sealed and disposed of after the case is tried. The Tibetan silver that was transported to the Tingwei Mansion was also counted and sorted out by special personnel.

Gu Weipan looked at the orderly scene in front of him, and thought that someone from other yamen had already come over to take over the case, but after asking, he realized that these people in front of him were just some guards and palace guards of the Dongwang Mansion, and they were all laymen in the trial, sorting out the case files, and counting the names.

"Chief Gu, it's our honor for you to come and help. We don't know a lot of things, and we need your old guidance. Han Jian smiled and complimented Gu Weipan, which was also to ease the tense relationship between him and Gu Weipan. This can involve his lifelong happiness, and Han Jian is not sloppy in his compliments.

"Alright, bring the case file and talk outside." Gu Weipan was also a little discouraged, he had been in the imperial court for so many years, and he was just here to help this kid, he was very aggrieved. But fortunately, this kid in front of him knows each other and knows what it means to be respectful and inferior, and he didn't use his official authority as the king of the county in front of people to make him unable to get off the stage, so that he could save face in front of his subordinates.

When he arrived at the main hall, Han Jian asked people to submit the case files that had been simply sorted out. Gu Weipan took the case file, opened it and looked at it, and found that the case file had been sorted out very completely, the confessions at different yamen were classified, and special explanations were also made on some important criminals. This kind of case file is no different from the case file from the Yamen of the Third Division, because Han Jian had used "special means" to "coerce confessions" before, which made Han Jian's case file more detailed than the previous case files of the Third Division. Although Gu Weipan had only heard about the case in general before, now that he had only roughly read the case file, he had a clear understanding of the characteristics and circumstances of the case, and had a clear idea of the amount of people involved in the case, as well as the extent of the crimes of the people involved.

Gu Weipan frowned slightly, after reading this case, he went back to take a picture with the empress, and he would definitely be able to answer like a stream. Originally, he was worried that the case would be messed up by Han Jian, and he would need to spend a lot of effort to investigate and sort it out, but now it seems that he doesn't need it at all.

On the one hand, Gu Weipan breathed a sigh of relief, but he could not express satisfaction on his face, but instead looked contemplative, as if he was carefully reading the case file and finding out the flaws from it.

Gu Weipan didn't take long to finish reading it and closed the case. Han Jian asked respectfully, "I don't know what advice Chief Gu has?" ”

Gu Weipan said in an official tone: "This time, the old man came mainly for the sixth prince to mention in the book, and the case may involve other people from the imperial court. Tell me first, which people from the yamen are involved? ”

Han Jian thought about it, as if he was a little embarrassed, and said: "I can't hide it, I spent some effort and did find that some ministers of the imperial court had accepted benefits from these criminals. But now there is definite evidence of the crime, only Li Wei, the former servant of the Criminal Department. ”

Gu Weipan raised his eyebrows and said, "Only one?" ”

Han Jian thought about it again, nodded in affirmation, and said, "There is indeed only one." ”

Gu Weipan had the urge to beat people at the moment, you spent so much effort to change the law and let the sixth prince write a recital to the emperor, and the emperor sent so many officials from the listening office to investigate, and in the end, you sued me that I am only one person, and I am still a dead ghost who has gone down to the Yellow Spring. Isn't this a sincere pastime for me? (To be continued......)
