Chapter 130: Secret Investigation (Second Update)
Because they were worried about the situation of the bandits, Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou** did not sleep, and it was not until the next day that they were relieved after getting the news of the victory, and fell asleep in their clothes. The update is the fastest and most stable, and you have to be fast.
For last night's raid, the bandits did not notice it in the slightest, and they even gloated at the birthday banquet of the Dragon Lord last night and talked about whether Li Yuntian was going to be cut down by Cui Hui this time, as long as Li Yuntian died, then this Poyang Lake would still be their world.
Originally, Long Ye wanted to gather a team to resist after learning that the people from the Patrol Division of Baishui Town had entered the island where the bandits' nest was located, but just as he mobilized the water bandits to fight to the death, a cold knife suddenly fell on his neck.
The owner of the knife is the man with the national character face who took the merchant hostage in Baishui Town and negotiated with Li Yuntian, he is a water bandit leader under Long Ye, and he was sent by Long Ye to Baishui Town to spy on the information of the merchants last time, and he almost couldn't come back.
The wife of the man with the national character face was about to give birth, and he didn't want to live a scared life as a bandit anymore, so he sent his younger brother to Hukou County to see Yang Yungui after putting it back, expressing his willingness to be an internal response, hoping that Li Yuntian could open up to them and be light.
Li Yuntian naturally allowed the man with the national character face to wear the crime and make meritorious contributions, and promised to give the man with the national character face preferential treatment.
The man with the national character face didn't know about the raid on the bandits' nest, but according to the agreement, he surrendered when Zhao Hua led people to kill the island, and his subordinates wrapped white cloth around their arms to show that they were different from the water bandits.
Driven by the man with the face of the national character, several water bandit leaders who were usually friends with him also joined the team of Tou Cheng, and then captured important water bandit leaders such as Long Ye and Wu Dao Scar, making the water bandits on the island leaderless and falling into chaos, unable to organize effective resistance at all, and collapsed at the first touch.
After Long Ye was captured, he shouted to see Li Yuntian, he was really defeated this time, and he was unconvinced, thinking that Li Yuntian was a young man who only knew how to play conspiracy and tricks, and he would send someone to sneak attack when he was celebrating his birthday, and also jointly patrolled the imperial history to release false news that he was arrested.
"What are you that deserve to see my lord? Haven't you heard of strategizing and winning thousands of miles away? My family has important things to do, and it is enough to deal with a guy like you who only has the courage of a horseman! Facing the excited Long Ye, Zhao Hua coldly dropped a sentence and left without looking back.
Long Ye was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Zhao Hua's back dumbfounded, although Zhao Hua did not explain, but the meaning of the words was already very clear, this operation was commanded by him, and the "important matter" that Li Yuntian wanted to do must have been investigated and handled by the imperial history. The update is the fastest and most stable
He was very surprised that Hukou County was still able to organize a huge encirclement and suppression even when Li Yuntian was in prison, which was completely unexpected and shocked him.
Compared with Long Ye, Wu Scar is much calmer, he knew that Li Yuntian was a tricky character when he fell into Li Yuntian's trap in the last sneak attack on Baishui Town, so he defected to Long Ye to seek refuge, and now Long Ye was designed by Li Yuntian to exterminate it, in his opinion, it is a reasonable thing, how can Li Yuntian let Long Ye threaten the increasingly prosperous trading market of Baishui Town?
Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou woke up in the afternoon, Yang Yungui had been waiting in the study for a while, and there was a guard by Zhou Yuting's side.
After seeing Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou, the guard took out two letters from his body and handed them to them, one was addressed to the garrison of Nanzhili, and the other was addressed to the commander of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division.
Needless to say, the garrison of Nanzhili was the same honorable and important minister as Zhou Zheng, while the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division was subordinate to the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army and was a subordinate of Zhou Zheng, and they were all closely related to Zhou Zheng.
"Two ladies, you are already pregnant with Liujia, and you are going to Nanzhili and Zhejiang?" After seeing the name on the envelope, Yang Yungui was taken aback, with Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou's state not suitable for long-distance travel at all, it was easy to have a miscarriage.
"Commander Yang, have you ever heard of a sentence, how can there be eggs under the nest?"
Chen Ningning picked up the letter written by Zhou Yuting to the commander of the Zhejiang Dusidu, glanced at the envelope, smiled a little sadly, but her eyes were full of perseverance, "You also know that adults have high ambitions, even if they can escape this disaster this time, their future career will be over, and we can't watch him being framed." ”
"Two ladies, are you going to check the details of those three people?" Yang Yungui was silent when he heard this, he naturally knew Li Yuntian's lofty ambitions, and then he thought of something, and asked quite unexpectedly, the three people in his mouth were Shi An, Liu Ming, and Gu Manfu.
"I have discussed it with the fourth sister, if it is changed to the master, in the face of the current shape, I will definitely start from their bottom line, falsely accusing the court officials is a big crime, and the master is both the protégé of Lord Yang and the son-in-law of Lord Hou, they naturally know the power of it, and they will not do it for no reason."
Chen Ningning bowed slightly, and her willow eyebrows frowned slightly, "If my fourth sister and I didn't guess wrong, they might have some handle in the hands of others, so they had to do it." ”
"Madam, it's a long way to go, so let's let the inferior people go." Yang Yungui nodded thoughtfully, he really neglected this, in his opinion, the details of Shi An's three people had no inevitable connection with whether they bribed Li Yuntian or not.
Moreover, the people who patrolled the yamen had already found the silver tickets that Shi An said he had used to bribe Li Yuntian in the mansion of the county yahou in Hukou County, and the first thing Li Yuntian had to prove now was that he had not accepted those silver tickets, which seemed very difficult at present.
Yang Yungui can be sure that those silver tickets were definitely planted by the people who patrolled the imperial history yamen to Li Yuntian, how could Li Yuntian put those silver tickets at home? It should have been given to Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou a long time ago, and let the two of them sit in the accounts of their respective businesses.
The most tricky thing now is the five thousand taels of silver tickets, who would have thought that the people who patrolled the Imperial History Yamen would plant Li Yuntian? Who can prove that they planted Li Yuntian?
"The affairs of the county are inseparable from you." Chen Ningning politely declined Yang Yungui's kindness, it was not that she didn't believe Yang Yungui, but now can be described as Li Yuntian's life and death moment, in order to make the people of Nanzhili and Zhejiang pay attention, the two of them must come out in person.
Besides, this matter must be kept secret and not let anyone know, so as not to startle the snake and make the other party alert, and then it will be troublesome, so it can only be carried out secretly by the two of them.
"Two ladies beware, the Inspector has issued a wanted warrant for the two ladies." Yang Yungui naturally knew the importance of the matter, and after a while, he reminded Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou.
He admired Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou very much in his heart, if an ordinary woman encountered such a thing, I am afraid that she would have already been messed up, crying and crying at a loss, how could she be like the two of them to track down the details of Shi An and the three of them regardless of their pregnancy.
Because Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou were involved in the bribery case of Liu Ming and Gu Manfu, Cui Hui had already issued a wanted warrant, and the two were wanted at various water and land ports, as long as they were pregnant women, they must be detained, and wait for the people who patrol the imperial history yamen to go to screen.
Cui Hui believed that Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou should still be in Hukou County, he just didn't understand why the two didn't surrender and were willing to be wanted, where could he have thought that the two of them would try their best to save Li Yuntian for Li Yuntian.
Jiujiang Mansion, the back hall of the prefect's yamen, and the officials of Jiujiang Mansion above the seventh grade are all gathered together.
Yang Demin sat in the seat at the top, absentmindedly listening to Han Anyu telling the officials present about Li Yuntian's case, he was now distraught, he never imagined that Cui Hui's people would find the five thousand taels of silver tickets in the county yahou house in Hukou County.
This is fatal evidence of crime, of course Yang Demin does not believe that the thoughtful Li Yuntian would be so careless and put the silver ticket in the book instead of trying to dispose of it.
Although he also suspected that Cui Hui was secretly making a ghost, but unfortunately there was no evidence, he couldn't say that the dignified inspector of the imperial history framed Li Yuntian.
The matter has come to this point, Yang Demin can only carry Cui Hui to the end, play the court, and ask Yongle to send someone to supervise the case again, then he will have the opportunity to return Li Yuntian's innocence, otherwise under Cui Hui's main trial, Li Yuntian will not be able to escape, even if Emperor Yongle spares him from death, it is estimated that his career will be ruined.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Li Zhixian is a member of our Jiujiang Mansion, diligent in government affairs, friendly to colleagues, and now his case is widely implicated, this official feels that in order to find out the case as much as possible, he should ask the saint to send someone to supervise it."
After telling Li Yuntian's case to all the officials present, Han Anyu glanced around at the people in the room, turned to Yang Demin and said, "I don't know what the prefect thinks?" ”
"This case is the first important case in my Jiujiang Mansion since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and this government believes that Han Tongzhi's words are reasonable, and this case should be treated cautiously, and I ask the Holy Lord to send someone to supervise it." Yang Demin bowed slightly when he heard this, and said in a deep voice.
He and Han Anyu had already discussed, and the two of them sang and sang and made a harmony for the people at the scene, preparing to ask everyone to jointly ask Emperor Yongle to send someone to supervise Li Yuntian's case, so as to avoid giving Cui Hui a chance.
This is also a helpless move, you can't write to Emperor Yongle and tell Emperor Yongle that they suspect Cui Hui of framing Li Yuntian, wouldn't that become a joke for the Ming Dynasty, and also make Emperor Yongle's face go where to go.
"Lord Prefect, the lower officials deeply feel the same way, Li Zhixian's case now involves 10,000 taels of stolen silver, if Li Zhixian is really corrupt and bribery, then this is undoubtedly just the tip of the iceberg, I am afraid that only the Holy Superior can supervise and handle the investigation of the merits of this case." As soon as Yang Demin's voice fell, Qi Wanlong, the magistrate of Ruichang County, took the lead in standing up and said loudly.
"That's what Xia Guan meant." Subsequently, all the officials present expressed their attitudes and supported Yang Demin's approach, first, how could they dare to have objections in front of Yang Demin, and secondly, they also felt that Li Yuntian was wronged, and in normal times, Li Yuntian's private relationship with everyone was very good, and everyone naturally wanted to help Li Yuntian.
"Since this is the case, then you will jointly write a letter and ask the Holy Lord to send someone to supervise the case." Yang Demin nodded with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice, with the joint petition of the officials of Jiujiang Prefecture, then Emperor Yongle also has a reason to send someone down to supervise the case.
"Report, Hukou County is a big victory!" At this moment, a dusty official hurriedly broke in, holding a scroll of documents in both hands, and shouted loudly while trotting, attracting the attention of everyone on the scene for a while. One
