Chapter 149

The hall of the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen suddenly quieted down, and Mu Bin's eyes swept over Luo Fang and the others in the hall, his face was cloudy or sunny, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Sun Xuan opened his mouth and said, "My lord, take a step to speak." ”

Mu Bin nodded and walked towards the back hall, and when he reached the pillar of the back porch, he suddenly stopped and turned back to Song Nan and beckoned: "Song Nan, you come too." ”

Song Nan walked into the back hall with an expressionless face, and after the two of them stood still, he heard Sun Xuan say in a loud voice: "My lord, this matter is tricky. ”

Mu Bin looked at Song Nan and said: "Deputy Song Qianhu, you are not very shrewd in this matter today, it is a good thing to catch the person who poisoned him, but they are all from Dongchang, and they should be sent to the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division in a low-key manner. ”

Sun Xuan also frowned and said: "Yes, Deputy Song Qianhu, there is a secret fight between my Jinyi Wei Yamen and the Dongchang Yamen, but both sides are secretly competing, and there is an unwritten agreement that these things will never be brought to the table to speak; Now that you are doing this, it is tantamount to making the contradictions between the two sides public, and all the faces of all people are not bright, hey, it is indeed a lack of consideration. ”

Song Nan arched his hand and said: "Two adults, the lowly position is not hidden, the lowly position does mean deliberately, but this time it is not my fault." Dongchang Fanzi deceived people too much, let's secretly make a small fuss, don't let the horses and legs fall, they actually poisoned me with despicable means, since they have already killed each other, why should I be polite to them, I didn't kill them on the spot is already taking into account the identity of our Jinyiwei, otherwise I am afraid that there are more than 20 corpses in the hall at this moment. ”

Mu Bin shouted: "Stupid words, how can people kill directly? Isn't that dead and unopposed? As soon as a person dies, Fan Heng has no scruples, and the next thing is to open the knife and gun; Fortunately, you have a heart and save their lives to come back, and overall, the situation is reasonable for me. ”

Sun Xuan said: "The lower officials request that the prisoner be interrogated immediately, obtain a confession, and take the initiative, the emperor must know about this matter, Dongchang committed the murder first, and the emperor has something to say about Commander Mou; It's just that tearing the skin like this, and the future is not small. ”

Mu Bin nodded and said: "Yes, you immediately go to interrogate Luo Fang and the others, and then take a confession, Fan Heng must have known about this matter, and soon he will come to the door to inquire, get the confession before him, and I will talk to him again." ”

Sun Xuan took the order and left, Song Nan turned around and walked out, but Mu Bin said: "Stop, I have something to say to you." ”

Song Nan said quietly: "Listen to the commandment of Mu from humble duty. ”

Mu Bin sighed and said, "You must be complaining in your heart that I am timid and cautious, thinking that I am afraid of Fan Heng and dare not be tough on Fan Heng with this matter, right?" ”

Song Nan said: "I didn't think so. ”

Mu Bin waved his hand and said: "You don't have to deny it, I understand the resentment in your heart, if it were me, I was almost killed, and I would be angry, you can bear not to kill Luo Fang and others, which shows that you have taken the overall situation into account, which this commander is quite praiseworthy." ”

Song Nan said: "It's not that I don't want to, but I think that killing them is more beneficial to our Jinyi Guard Yamen than not killing them." ”

Mu Bin said: "Of course, once a person is killed, there is no room for maneuver, but at this moment, he has the flexibility to advance and retreat; You must have thought that you could do something to Fan Heng with this matter, to be honest, why don't I want to? Fan Heng, this old dog, is arrogant and domineering, riding on the head of my brocade guard yamen to pee, if you can live for him, it is a very happy thing. But alas, this matter is not weighty enough. ”

Song Nan said indifferently: "The lowly position understands, the lowly position acts with great fanfare, and it is also to let the court know about the secret activities of the Dongchang Factory, even if it cannot shake Fan Heng's status, but the evaluation of the emperor is not strict, and the impression of a Dongchang fanzi who is acting nonsense will definitely be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." ”

Mu Bin shook his head and said: "You are still too naïve, who doesn't know what the Dongchang Fan Service did?" The emperor knows everything in his heart, but the emperor doesn't say it; Just like our Jinyi Wei Yamen, isn't it the same reputation in the eyes of others? If you say something that shouldn't be said, the emperor doesn't speak, but he needs the actions of my Jinyi Wei Yamen and Dongchang to shock people's hearts, how can you understand the mystery. ”

Song Nan said: "But this matter is not an ordinary act, the fan of Dongchang attacked the deputy Qianhu of Jinyiwei, just like the emperor's left arm cut off his right arm with a knife, how could the emperor sit idly by and indulge?" ”

Mu Bin said: "This is what I am worried about, and it is also the reason why I reprimanded you at the right time, it is not beneficial for anyone to make a big fuss, the emperor can't go up and down, and there will be major 20 boards." Look, Fan Heng and I will be bloody. If you keep a low profile, on the contrary, I can negotiate with Fan Heng in private, and Fan Heng will inevitably give in, which is more advantageous. ”

Song Nan said in his heart: "You think about beauty, you want to have a personal relationship with Fan Heng, what good is it for me?" I'm just afraid that you will have a personal relationship with him, so everyone knows about it; If the matter is not made public, Fan Heng's revenge on me will be endless, and once it is made public, Fan Heng will rein in, even if he wants to be unfavorable to me, he can only act on the camera. ”

"What Commander Mu said is very much, the lowly position is not well considered, but the lowly position feels that we take this matter for reason, and the emperor will not be dissatisfied with Lord Mu, on the contrary, Fan Heng has to find a way to clear himself, although I suspect that this matter was secretly instructed by him, and Luo Fang will never admit it."

Mu Bin said: "Of course I won't admit it, doesn't his whole family want to die?" The Dongchang Fan Campaign was destroyed because he said something that shouldn't be said, besides, what is the reason why Fan Heng instructed him to poison you? He is a dignified overseer, how can he have entanglements with you, a small thousand households? I have already thought about it, where the emperor will be tomorrow, Fan Heng and I will make big things small, and we must not involve anything else, the matter between Luo Fang and you can only be based on personal grievances, you must keep the same tone with me, and you must not talk about anything else. ”

Song Nan sighed and was silent.

Mu Bin comforted: "I know that you are dissatisfied, but you can only do this, it is not good for anyone to make a big fuss; There is no doubt that this Luo Fang and related people will be severely punished, and they can also give you an explanation; If Fan Heng dares to cover up, I won't allow it, and when the time comes, I will break up and support you. Your actions are not wrong, on the contrary, this matter is even more powerful to my Jinyi Guard's yamen. After this incident, my Jinyi Wei Yamen may be able to get rid of the oppression of Dongchang, in order to praise you, I plan to promote you to the south of the thousand households; It's not a deal, it's a compliment. ”

Song Nan arched his hand and said: "Humble duty and obedience are it." ”

Mu Bin smiled and patted Song Nan's shoulder and said: "Song Nan, this commander has great expectations for you, compared with others in Weizhong, you are extremely capable, and you act vigorously, quite like the style of my youth, given time, the future is limitless." But I also have to advise you, I also suffered a lot of setbacks when I was young, that is, I don't know how to be flexible, I hope you don't follow my old path, avoid the twists and turns, the day of green clouds is just around the corner; I think you will be among the thousands of households before you have a weak crown, which is an unheard of speed. ”

Song Nan said: "It's not for Lord Mu's support, otherwise there would be no humble position today." ”

Mu Bin waved his hand and said: "Don't say kind words, this is all earned by your own ability, remember my words, don't talk nonsense, you go back to the yamen first, I will deal with the rest, if necessary, I will order someone to call you over." ”

Song Nan retreated, got out of the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division and galloped back, feeling quite proud; Song Nan had long expected Mu Bin's displeasure, after the matter became big, the family scandal was publicized, and of course the emperor would play 20 boards each for Dongchang and Jinyiwei; In order to avoid such a result, both Mu Bin and Fan Heng will attribute the long-accumulated contradictions between the two yamen to the personal grievances of Song Nan and Luo Fang, so as to turn the big thing into a small one.

And in order to appease himself, Mu Bin will also ask for Fan Heng to be severely punished for Luo Fang and other servants, and will also give comforting rewards, the days of his transition from deputy to regular are numbered, Peng Wanli will definitely be transferred to a vacant position somewhere, and he is the veritable boss of the Jinyi Guard Yamen in Zhengnanfang.

As for whether there will be a fight with the East Factory in the future, there is no need to think about this problem, after several frictions with the East Factory, if there is still a short-sighted Fan Service in Song Nan's jurisdiction, Song Nan will not hesitate to step on it; Zhengnanfang is his own couch, and others are not allowed to sleep soundly next to the couch.

……

Things were progressing rapidly, and Fan Heng, who got the news, rushed to the Jinyi Guard Yamen in a hurry, and Mu Bin also waited for a long time, and the two reached a consensus without even communicating much.

When the two domestic dogs bite each other, although you are dead and alive, when you encounter the owner's reprimand, you have no choice but to wag your tail and fight; Before the emperor summoned them into the palace, the two of them made a strong move, and entered the palace overnight to plead guilty, attributing Luo Fang's poisoning of Song Nan to Luo Fang and Song Nan's personal grudge in Zhengnanfang.

Of course, Hongzhi understands that this is an excuse, but this explanation is somewhat explained in front of the ministers, the two children are ignorant when they fight, and the fight between adults is a family grudge, at least the relationship between adults is still harmonious; As the fault party of the matter, the fate of Luo Fang and Yigan Fanzi is self-evident, after leaving the palace, Mu Bin also simply handed over Yigan and others to Fan Heng.

That night, Luo Fang committed suicide in fear of sin, and when the news came out, people with a little mind understood that Luo Fang was killed.
