Chapter 539: The Man Was Detained (1)
"I'm also a soldier and a dangerous move, if Mrs. Tang doesn't change her identity, then how can our people become Mrs. Tang?"
"My lord, where is Bao Hui?"
"She doesn't know the identity of Mrs. Tang, I have also investigated her during this time, and she is a gatekeeper." Meng Yan Road.
"When my lord says this, I'm relieved, but Liang Song and the others are also in the yamen, what if?" Guo Xiaochao said again.
"You don't believe in this official's disguise technique?"
"How can it, the adult's disguise technique amazes Xiao Chao." Guo Xiaochao smiled, Meng Yan turned a young woman about thirty years old into a forty or fifty-year-old mother, this hand is amazing, it is amazing.
"Send someone to pay attention to the situation on Old Lady Chen's side, inform Qiu Niang, and send Tang Gongzi into the city as much as possible!" Meng Yan commanded.
"Got it, I'll do it."
After finishing this qiē, Meng Yan had time to open the baggage sent back by Liang Yifei and inspect the contents one by one.
There is a blank guard in the Datong Prison Military Mansion, as well as a handwritten letter written by Guo Jing to Wang Zhen, and a gift list, involving dozens of people, in addition to Wang Zhen and other eunuchs, many of them are concubines in the palace.
Of course, some concubines of the Empress Dowager Sun and the former emperor are indispensable, and the current emperor and empress also have concubines.
Although Datong is a bitter cold place on the border, it is not uncommon to open horse markets with Tatars and Warats, and all kinds of precious furs and rare items and gems from the Western Regions.
In the gift list, there is a gem the size of a pigeon's egg is given to Wang Zhen, saying that this gem can still shine at night, although it cannot be compared with the night pearl, but it is also priceless!
Precious stones, strange stones. There are also furs, wool from the Western Regions.
Good guy, these things are worth a lot of money, Guo Jing, an old turtle, can collect so much wealth in a bitter cold border like Datong, so if he goes to that rich province, won't he be allowed to scrape down the land for three points?
These possessions were not very attractive to Meng Yan. After all, it's something outside the body, and it can't fall into your pocket.
He was interested in Guo Jing's handwritten letter to Wang Zhen, and he wanted to know what was written in it.
Carefully unwrapped the paint, opened the envelope, and pulled out three folded pieces of letterhead.
The high-grade Shu paper, with fragrance, is exquisitely made, this piece of paper is afraid that it is worth three meals a day for the poor, this Guo Jing is really rich.
"Brother Meixu is like meeting when he sees the words: my brother has said goodbye to my brother in Beijing since the last time. It has been three years, and I miss it very much, and now I send my son Guo Song to Shi Biao in Datong right guard Qianhu Shi Biao......"
Wang Zhen's character is called "Meixu", and Meng Yan knew it for the first time, and he really didn't know that this eunuch still had words.
After reading the letter, Meng Yan put down the letterhead, his heart could not be calm, and there was an indescribable anger. Guo Jing actually mentioned in the letter that he was smuggling salt, iron, arrows and many other strategic materials with Wara. These things were actually allocated by him to the imperial court on the grounds of the lack of border passes, except for a small number of soldiers who were distributed to the border guards, most of them were secretly bought by them to the Arazhiyuan of Wara, and they made a huge profit.
Guo Jing guarded Datong for more than ten years, and his power was above the general army. The Warat tribe is really soaring in strength during this time, Warat is conquering the east and west, constantly annexing the tribes on the grassland, as if there is a dominant atmosphere of dominating the desert.
The nomads did not produce steel, and the smelting technology was even more backward. Ordinary iron pots and shovels have to be imported from the Central Plains, and in recent years, they have been able to wage wars against other tribes without interruption, which is a way to plunder and annex other tribes, and then they will obtain treasures and exchange weapons and food with the scum of the border guards of the Ming Dynasty for weapons, food and other strategic materials.
The letter mentioned the names of many people, including the governor of Shanxi Xingdu, Shi Heng, the general of the West Road, and Shen Gu, the right attendant of the household department of grain and grass in the Datong Admiralty...... Wolves are traitors, embezzlement and bribery, harsh military salaries, and theft and sale of ordnance and military rations.
With this letter, you are already invincible.
Putting these things together with the evidence he had obtained from the Tatar royal court, this would be fatal evidence that Guo Jing and Wang Zhen and others smuggled and collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country.
Of course, with these evidences, it may be fatal to Guo Jing, but not necessarily to Wang Zhen, he can completely push it away.
The letter was written to him by Guo Jing, but it was not obtained from him, he didn't see the letter, so naturally he didn't have to admit the crime above, at most, he didn't know about it.
He can also say that Guo Jing framed him, took a bite back, and picked himself up.
"Lord Meng, Lord Meng......" Meng Yan was pondering, and Xining's anxious shout came from outside the cold door.
"Father-in-law, do you have something to do with this official?" Meng Yan got up and walked over to open the door.
"Lord Meng has been on duty?" Seeing Meng Yan come out of the duty room, Xining was surprised and greatly relieved.
"This official has been there, what's wrong with Father-in-law, this is?" Meng Yan asked knowingly.
"It's nothing, the little one was a little sleepy just now, so he fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already noon, so I came to see Lord Meng, our family is hungry, what are you going to eat at noon today?" Xining explained with an embarrassed face,
"Yes, it's noon, and I'm hungry too, why don't you go to Songhe Tower in a while?"
"It's bothering Lord Meng like this!" Xining asked, "I don't know if there is any news about this Qin prisoner's mother and son?" ”
"Not yet, by the way, do you have any news from the East Factory, don't deliberately hide it and not report it, and show the foreign appearance of the official?" Meng Yan Road.
"No, absolutely not, in this matter, Dongchang will definitely cooperate with Lord Meng to arrest the mother and son of Mrs. Tang." Xining flatly denied it.
"That's good, that's good, my father-in-law will wait for me for a while, I still have an official document to deal with?"
"Okay, okay, Master Meng, you're busy, I'll wait for you outside the door." Xi Ning retreated from Meng Yan's room in a daze.
Meng Yan looked at Xining's back, smiled coldly, pickled things, play with this official, you are still a little tender.
At noon, the sun was southerly, and in front of Chongwen Gate, a long team of mules and horses was slowly approaching.
In the middle of the team, a young man in gorgeous clothes was drowsy, looking a little puffy with bags under his eyes, and he looked overindulgent.
He was followed by two capable guards, their eyes like eagles, exuding a powerful aura that no one could approach.
This is Lian Jiazi.
Shi Biao rode a horse and walked ahead, and he led the trip.
This team was large in number and had a strong atmosphere, stretching for one or two hundred meters, looking like a caravan but not like a caravan.
Seeing that they all hung strips of cloth on their horses, experienced Jianghu people knew at a glance that there were weapons hidden there.
Therefore, the common people are far away from this team, for fear of provoking each other and bringing trouble to themselves.
"Childe, when you enter the city later, you go to visit Gongzi Wangshan first, and ask him to lead you to the celebrant to see Father Weng."
"Ben Gongzi knows, along the way, you have said it dozens of times." Guo Song still looked like he was a little hungover, last night, he asked for two little women, and he tossed for most of the night before falling asleep.
If he hadn't entered Beijing today, it is estimated that he would not have wanted to get up at all, no, he slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, procrastinating, and walked for an hour before he arrived at the city gate.
"Prince Wang Shan is good wine, this time we brought fifty jars of wine from the Western Regions, ten of which were given to Prince Wang Shan."
"Well, I may not have seen Brother Shan for a long time, and I will definitely have a drink with him when I come back this time." Guo Gongzi laughed, the women in the capital are not comparable to the bitter cold land of the border pass, and when they come back this time, they are here to enjoy the blessings.
"What's the matter, the efficiency of entering the city in the past was very fast, why did it take so long to queue today, and it hasn't arrived at us yet?"
"Childe, could it be that something happened in the capital? Look at the soldiers at the gate, there seems to be soldiers patrolling the city yamen? ”
"What can happen, even if something happens, what does it have to do with us?" Guo Gongzi scolded angrily, "You, find someone to ask." ”
"Yes, Childe!" The man who had been called said yes, and ran forward to inquire about it.
About a cup of tea, the man returned.
"Childe, it is said that the court is arresting a wanted criminal, and the villain has seen the wanted warrant and portrait, it is Mrs. Tang and Childe we are looking for, and they must be strictly investigated when they enter the city, so they are very slow!"
"It's strange that the little girl and the little bastard didn't go into town?"
"I heard that no, Jinyiwei is looking around."
"Childe, this lady of the Tang family is carrying evidence that is unfavorable to us, and the villain guesses that if she wants to save her husband, she must enter the city, so she will set up checkpoints at various gates of the capital to intercept her!"
"What idiot ordered her to stop at the door, and if she doesn't enter the city for a day, who can catch her?" When Guo Gongzi heard this, he scolded angrily.
"Childe, if you let her enter the city and put the evidence in her hand into the hands of the person you want to teach, it will be troublesome." Subordinate strategists.
"Who can she give that evidence to?"
"Which subject is Tang Chun a jinshi?" Guo Gongzi asked.
"Orthodox has not been ranked seventh in the second class for four years, and the teacher is Yang Pu, the former first assistant of the cabinet." The advisor replied.
"How could it be him?"
"This is what Lord Jianjun is most worried about, once that evidence falls into the hands of Yang Pu, it will be troublesome."
"Yang Pu is no longer the first assistant of the cabinet, although the emperor added him the title of Taishi, which is considered a very popular minister, but there is news that he closed his door, studied at home, tended to flowers and plants, and did not even go to the court, it was clear, he just didn't want to manage the government anymore, if it wasn't for the emperor's efforts to keep him, in case of questioning from time to time, this old man would probably have returned to his hometown to live for a long time."
"Childe, this matter is very implicated, is it hard to guarantee that he will not go out of the mountain to fight against the adults?"
"He is half cut into the ground, so he is not afraid of getting a late festival, a few of the people who went against Weng's father in the court have a good end, Sanyang goes to the second, what else can he do?" Guo Gongzi laughed, disapproving.
"Childe, it's better to be careful, this time let's go to Beijing, and the Lord of the Prison Army will explain that we must obey the arrangement of Lord Weng's father!"
"Got it, I won't come nonsense, it's a big deal!"
In front, the team moved forward slowly, and it was finally the turn of Shi Biao and Guo Song. (To be continued......)
