Chapter 114: Gathering a crowd to make trouble
When Zhou Yan hurriedly ran into the second hall, Zhao Ying was looking through the file of Hu Weixian's case, and she even asked people to take Hu Weixian's seventeen-year resume from the Ministry of Officials to read it carefully.
When she saw Zhou Yan rushing into the door, she herself was stunned, and was about to eat tea, when she paused: "What's wrong?" โ
Zhou Yan's face was unprecedentedly ugly, and he stepped forward in three or two steps: "Your Highness, something is wrong." โ
Zhao Ying twisted her eyebrows solemnly and motioned for him to speak quickly.
The matter was urgent, of course he didn't go around in circles, as soon as he arched his hand, he replied in a deep voice: "There are many people outside the palace, and there is a lot of trouble, and the lieutenants below have gone to ask, they are all from the northwest, and Hu Weixian was detained in Gansu, and the prince and His Royal Highness the King of Jin set off to return to Beijing, and they followed all the way into Beijing."
Hu Weixian's crime was an ironclad fact, and he should have been sentenced immediately, but he was detained in the Sili Yuan for several days and there was no movement, so they went to the government office. โ
"Wait." Zhao Yingyi raised his hand and interrupted him, "Are the people of Gansu?" โ
Zhou Yan nodded frequently: "Basically, the family was already poor, and life couldn't go on after the disaster, so I finally waited until the imperial court was going to issue disaster relief funds, and I saw that I finally had hope, but it turned out to be like that again." โ
After talking for a long time, he couldn't help sighing: "It's pitiful to say." โ
Zhao Ying's face turned pale: "According to what they said, they followed into Beijing to see Hu Weixian's beheading?" โ
Zhou Yan said yes first, and then shook his head: "But the minister feels that something is not quite right here." โ
Of course something is wrong.
Zhao Ying pondered for a moment: "You go to the Marquis Mansion of Guangning to invite the prince to come, I have something to ask him." โ
Zhou Yan said yes, but the person didn't move.
Sure enough, Zhao Ying still had a word to explain to him: "Don't go through the front door, go out from the back, invite someone to bring him in through the back door, don't alarm the people outside......"
She paused: "How many people?" โ
"Seven or eight, it looks like it's all the way here."
She sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face: "Let Mao Shen go to the Jingwei Command Envoy again and tell Commander Guo about this." โ
A stunned look flashed on Zhou Yan's face: "Your Highness, Jingwei commands the envoy...... If you want to mobilize the manpower of the command department, our department does not have that power. โ
"I don't transfer people with him, I just tell him that there may be riots in the capital, and guarding the Jingshi and guarding the palace ban is originally the duty of the Jingwei Command and Envoy, you go and tell him that he knows what to do."
Zhao Ying still interrupted him, and then ordered: "You remember to tell the people below, don't hurt people, but don't let them break in." โ
Zhou Yan said that he knew: "But Your Highness, they are making a fuss outside, which will inevitably alarm people, and it will not sound good after all......"
The matter in the northwest finally came to an end, and it still took time for the people's hearts to be appeased, and Xue Xianting and His Royal Highness the King of Jin went to the northwest to take charge of the affairs in person, and arrested a governor to escort him back to Beijing, and the scolding of the people was barely suppressed.
Not only Gansu, but even the capital has been in trouble for a while.
Zhao Ying knows all this.
Now there are seven or eight people who suddenly appeared, saying that they were victims from Gansu......
She sighed, "Did you send someone to ask them what they want to do?" Do you want the imperial court to solve the predicament of their lives, or do you want Hu Weixian to be ambushed as soon as possible? โ
He said no: "Those people are very emotional, and most of them are women's families, and they are very fierce, and the captains can't say a few words at all, and their grievances are almost all heard clearly by our people in the midst of their own shouting, where can they ask." โ
"It's okay, stabilize the people first, fortunately, it doesn't have much to do with us, how did these people go all the way to Beijing, really track it down, the local government can't get out of it, and when they enter Beijing to gather people to make trouble, Shuntianfu can't run, even if it's not good, it's not the head of the Sili Academy."
Zhao Ying pinched her eyebrows and told him to go: "As long as our people don't hurt people, don't make trouble." โ
But it's not going to be that simple.
Hu Weixian's case has developed to this day, in fact, there is nothing to investigate.
If it weren't for the ironclad evidence, Xue Xianting would not have escorted him all the way back to Beijing.
And what Emperor Zhaoning wants to know is nothing more than such an earth-shattering case, who is behind him and who is planning for him.
After all, he dared to steal from prison, and the sin of losing the disaster relief silver was also big or small, so he was really not afraid that the silver would be taken away, and he would not be able to spend his life?
Zhao Ying knew who that person was, but she couldn't reveal everything too easily, and she had to grind her temperament, and when what she wanted to do in the palace was done, everything in and out of the palace would be logical......
However, some people are impatient, no wonder even Emperor Zhaoning has moved some thoughts and ordered Yan Chongzhi's words.
Zhao Ying's eyebrows moved, her lips opened, and she called Xu Yan: "You go to Du Zhiyi and ask him to arrange a few people to inquire with these ordinary people, if we can't hear it, the ordinary people can always hear some." โ
Xu Yan also hesitated: "Your Highness thinks this was arranged by someone?" โ
"You don't think so?"
He was silent.
The corners of Zhao Ying's lips rose: "Whether it's true or someone arranged it, the incident happened at the gate of the Sili Courtyard, and Hu Wei's ancestors were also detained in the prison of the Sili Courtyard, I can't be the shopkeeper, you go." โ
ยท
Things started suddenly, but Zhao Ying arranged them in an orderly manner, and finally didn't make any bigger mess for the time being.
Xue Xianting came quickly, Zhou Yan didn't dare to delay, and hurried to the Marquis of Guangning Mansion to see him.
"I heard Zhou Yan say that something happened, and I didn't even dare to leave the main gate, so serious?"
Zhao Yingneng clearly saw the beads of sweat hanging on his sideburns, raised his hand and handed over a cup of tea: "You take a sip of tea first, see if you are in a hurry." โ
Xue Xianting pursed his lips and took the teacup, and sat down on the official hat chair on her right, but he was not in a hurry to drink tea: "What do you say now?" โ
She shook her head: "Those people are guarding the gate of Sili Courtyard and refuse to leave, and the people below don't dare to hurt them, it's fierce, I'm afraid that you will follow Fenggong to come in from the gate, and then let people block it outside, is it good-looking?" โ
What has become of that, isn't it becoming a troublemaker for the people!
Xue Xianting frowned: "How could such a thing happen, what did the Jingwei Command Envoy do!" Gather a crowd to make trouble, besiege the Sili Yuan and the government, what about Guo Zhaobin? โ
"What are you shouting? I've already sent people to the Jingwei Command Embassy, and you're just coming faster than them. โ
She knew what Xue Xianting was angry about, but she didn't have the time to appease him at the moment, so she paused for a moment, and then raised her voice and asked him again: "You escorted Hu Weixian back to Beijing, have you met the people of Gansu on the way?" โ
Xue Xianting shook his head without thinking about it and said no: "If you think about it, you know that no one will chase after you, we will be escorted by the forbidden army, and Hu Weixian was directly dismissed from his post in Gansu, and he was shackled in front of many people and put on the prisoner's car."
We didn't dare to press down on this matter at the beginning, after all, the people in the northwest were panicked, and even His Royal Highness the King of Jin said that this case could not be handled well, and we could not explain it to the court, let alone the people.
So when I took Hu first, I also asked the emperor for his will in the excerpt, and when I got the emperor's words, I didn't hide it at all.
The people in the northwest knew that the disaster relief silver was swallowed by Hu Wei first, and they also knew that the imperial court would not let it go easily.
You say, how could someone chase us to Beijing? โ
He has a point.
Ordinary people, what do you want to live your whole life?
It is enough to be healthy and healthy.
Even if you are a splash in the market, you have to have a degree to play a scoundrel.
It was true that they did not dare to stop Xue Xianting and their driving.
"I'm afraid those people outside the government are really not from Gansu."
Xue Xianting's eyebrows sank: "Do you suspect that someone is taking advantage of this matter to trouble Si Liyuan?" โ
"It's not about trouble, it's just to block me." Zhao Ying breathed a long sigh of relief, and tiredness flashed on his face, "The affairs of the northwest were handled by you and His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and Hu Weixian's case was decided by his father to be retried and investigated, and it has nothing to do with me from beginning to end, how can you make trouble for me?" โ
But later, her voice became clear and cold: "But if you really talk about it...... Didn't Kong Chengkai just go to me with an excerpt, saying that I was intervening in the affairs of the northwest, and I had a private correspondence with you when you went to the northwest for disaster relief?
If you want to say that, maybe I really instigated and instigated you to frame Hu Weixian. โ
"Don't talk nonsense." Xue Xianting couldn't hear such words, and reprimanded her, "The emperor didn't take his words to heart, and you still took them out and said them yourself." โ
"It's not that I want to say it, it's because I'm afraid that someone will want to make a big fuss." Zhao Ying's fingertips touched the back of his left hand, "When you went to the northwest, the household department transferred another batch of disaster relief silver, which was sent to the northwest with you."
After confiscating Hu Weixian's family property on the spot, the father and emperor of those silver sons also instructed you to take them out to help the people and distribute them to the surrounding prefectures, counties and towns.
Do you have supervised these two pieces of silver, from beginning to end? โ
"You specially explained in the letter, how could I not take it seriously, of course I supervised it as much as I could, even His Royal Highness the King of Jin was very concerned, but ......" Xue Xianting hesitated for a moment, "The northwest is so big, there are too many places affected by the disaster, although the imperial court attaches great importance to this disaster relief, I estimate that there are always those who are bold, and it is inevitable to take advantage of it." โ
"I know that." Zhao Ying sighed almost inaudibly, "In the past, it was far away from the emperor of the mountain, and it was not enough to get the benefits, but now that such a large sum of silver has been handled, how can you not be tempted, even if you take away a piece of silver, it is also a benefit for nothing." โ
She laughed as she spoke, her eyes full of mockery: "Don't talk about the northwest, it's the capital, and there are few people in the Taiji Palace, which is too normal." โ
"So these ordinary people are likely to ...... again after Hu Weixian"
"Not really." Zhao Ying thought for a long time, opened his mouth suddenly, and intercepted his words, "Even if they want to be greedy, they don't dare to go too far, you are ordered to be sent to Qincha, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin is in charge, and the people of Yushitai are also entourage."
At that time, even Hu Weixian, the governor of a province, had an accident, and he dismissed the official and raided his house on the spot, who didn't want to bump into him head-on? โ
"This ......"
He was about to speak, Zhou Yan and Li Chongzhi came into the door side by side, and when they saw Xue Xianting, they were very polite, but they didn't say a word of greeting, and then replied to Zhao Ying: "Commander Guo came in person, waiting outside to see His Highness." โ
Zhao Ying paused for a moment, and said in a cold voice: "If he comes in person, he will come in person, probably because he doesn't dare to snub Si Liyuan, you let him do things according to the rules, and you don't have to reply to me."
But the common people, if it is really the victims of the disaster in Gansu, they are pitiful, they have no knowledge, they just want justice, Mao Shen, you go and tell Commander Guo, don't hurt anyone. โ
Li Chongzhi responded, turned around and retreated.
Zhou Yan seemed to want to stop someone, but when the words came to his mouth, he held back himself.
Xue Xianting saw it in his eyes and said: "Guo Zhaobin came in person, it may not be a good thing, he just does his errand, why do you have to see His Highness?" If you don't see it, you don't see it, it's not a big deal. โ
Zhou Yan pursed his lips and thought for a long time: "The minister is thinking, Commander Guo may have something to say to His Highness?" Is Your Highness really missing? โ
Zhao Ying still shook her head: "I don't need to see him." What the hell is going on with those ordinary people outside the government, he just has to figure it out by himself.
Although they gathered around the gate of Sili Courtyard today, they didn't really make any trouble in the end, let alone hurt anyone, Guo Zhaobin wouldn't do anything to them, at most he taught them a lesson and sent them away.
Can he still arrest people? โ
But things were not as simple as Zhao Ying thought.
Not long after Li Chongzhi went out, Xu Yan entered the house from outside the door with a dark face.
Zhou Yan was stunned, and Xue Xianting was also stunned.
Zhao Ying explained with a smile: "Let him keep an eye on it outside, I'm afraid that someone will fake the tiger and add fuel to the fire." โ
Xu Yan took three or five steps forward: "Your Highness, you'd better go out and have a look, Guo Zhaobin ordered someone to be arrested." โ
Zhao Ying's smile froze on her face, and she didn't even have time to retract the curvature of the corners of her lips: "What did you say?" โ
Xue Xianting stood up suddenly: "Did he personally give the order?" โ
Xu Yan said: "Master Li is still persuading, follow him to the door of the government at this time, I guess it will be bad." โ
It's definitely going to be bad!
If those people are really victims from Gansu, they are just simply indignant, and they want Hu Wei to pay for his life first, and although gathering people to besiege the government is like Diao Min, it is finally excusable.
If someone arranges it, it means that someone wants to make a big fuss about them, and they can't deal with it.
Guo Zhaobin didn't ask anything, he dared to order someone to be arrested!
"Let's go, let's see."
Xue Xianting took a step in front of her: "I'll go with Zhou Yan, there will be a lot of chaos outside, and I will hurt you again." โ
She put her hand on his left arm and pushed: "Si Liyuan is my principal, what are you doing?" If they really dare to hurt me, it will not be easy, and when I get to my father, I have something to say, don't get in the way. โ
