Liu Hongxun was escorted all the way to Xinxian Prison.

Along the way, he kept shouting that he was wronged.

Soon, Deng Jian led people and directly attacked the Liu family.

The Liu family's population in the capital is not large, just more than 20 people.

This Liu Hongxun's mansion is not large, so the search was quickly completed.

After that, the director of the Ministry of Rites, surnamed Chen, was also quickly invited to the Xinxian Prison.

The entire Xinxian Prison was already shrouded in an atmosphere of slaughter at this time.

In the capital, people who are already well-informed have learned the news in advance.

As a result, the news has spread widely.

Liu Hongxun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was also arrested.

This is something that people would never have imagined.

Liu Hongxun's official reputation is very good, and he is called a gentleman, and such a person has become a chaotic party, which makes many scholars start to be yin and yang, and they all say that it is the factory guard who frames Zhongliang.

But these words are as they say.

Around Liu Hongxun, a big fish, the new county has begun to be arranged in full swing.

As soon as Zhang Jing left the palace, he also arrived at the Xinxian Prison quickly.

As soon as he saw Zhang Jing coming in, he hurriedly stood up and said with a flattering face: "I've seen Master Hou." ”

Zhang Jingyi nodded at him and said, "How is it, these days, what clues are there?" ”

Director Chen hurriedly took out an official document and said: "These days, the lower officials dare not slack off, bury themselves in the official document every day, and finally the hard work pays off and finds this." ”

Zhang Jing took a look, but it was a document about allowing the monk Yuanhui of Daruo Temple to take over as the presiding.

According to the rules, not only the monks need to have monks, but even if the presiding officer of the temple has elected a highly respected monk from among the monks, the Ministry of Rites needs to send someone to verify the identity of the person, and according to the situation, approve or refuse the promotion of the person to the presiding officer.

And this Yuanhui monk can already be determined that this person is closely related to the Tian family, and he is the person who is placed by the Tian family in Daruo Temple.

As for the back of this document, Liu Hongxun's name is signed.

Zhang Jing thought for a while and said, "What position did Liu Hongxun hold at that time?" ”

"The right attendant of the Ministry of Rites." Director Chen said: "In fact, it stands to reason that he should not be in charge of the affairs of the temple, this is the matter of the Monk Lu Division, but after all, he is a senior official, if he decides the candidate, the officials below will naturally not dare to object." ”

Zhang Jing said: "It means that Liu Hongxun and this Yuanhui monk colluded? ”

Director Chen smiled and said, "It's not certain, but it's ...... This is indeed somewhat out of the ordinary. ”

Zhang Jing: "I know, you have worked hard." ”

Director Chen immediately said, "Where, where." Being able to serve the Hou Ye is really a blessing for the lower officials, I don't know what else the Hou Ye commands? The lower officials must do their best, and they are willing to serve the dogs and horses. ”

Zhang Jing looked at him with a smile and said, "It's okay, you can return to the Ministry of Rites on an errand." ”

Director Chen suddenly showed a look of disappointment, thinking that he originally thought that he could take this opportunity to climb Zhang Jingyi's relationship, but where did he think that Zhang Jingyi would treat him as a straw paper, and he would use it when he said he would use it, and he would throw it away when he ran out.

It's just that he tried his best not to show it, so he only smiled awkwardly and said, "The next official resigned." ”

Zhang Jingyi didn't have the heart to care so much, and glanced down at the document again, and then asked someone to summon Deng Jian and asked, "How is it, did the Liu family copy it?" ”

Deng Jian said: "I have already copied it, and I have arrested twenty-four people, six of whom are porters and thick girls, obviously it is impossible to contact any secrets, so ...... Although it is a temporary captivity, if there is no problem, it is ready to be released. ”

As for the others, in addition to one of Liu Hongxun's concubines, a son, and a nephew, they are the stewards and accounts of the house, and these people are strictly supervised. As for his wife, as well as his second son, etc., they are all in their hometown, and they are afraid that it will take some days before they can take it. ”

Basically, when officials go to the capital to be officials, their wives are left in their hometowns, and most of the concubines who stay here are concubines.

There didn't seem to be any problem here, so Zhang Jing said: "Raid his hometown, act quickly, otherwise the news will leak and people will leave." By the way, how much silver did he steal from his house? ”

At the mention of this, Deng Jian smiled bitterly: "There are not many, only more than three hundred taels, but I want to come...... A lot of gold and silver were in his hometown. ”

Zhang Jing nodded, and then his expression gradually became more solemn, and said: "Liu Hongxun is the most important person in this group of people at the moment, ranking second and having a great relationship, such a person...... The information he could know must be extraordinary! Therefore, his relatives must be interrogated unannounced. Later, I'll go and meet this Liu Hongxun for a while, as long as this Liu Hongxun opens his mouth, many things can be solved. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Jingyi glanced at Deng Jian deeply, and then said: "At that time, this will be a great merit, Your Majesty will not only uproot the chaotic party now, but most importantly, get that sum of silver, only if you get that large amount of silver, this Ming world can be saved!" ”

"Therefore, the relationship between this matter is not trivial, these days, I am afraid that it will be harder, is the interrogation room ready?"

Deng Jian was also shocked, of course he knew what was going on, and nodded solemnly on his face: "It's ready." ”

"Let's go." Zhang Jingyi immediately said: "Then go and have a good meeting with this Liu Hongxun for a while." ”

With that, Zhang Jingyi and Deng Jian rushed to the interrogation room.

Here, Liu Hongxun sat on a special chair, and he kept saying: "I am a second-class member and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, you dare to ......."

As soon as he saw Zhang Jing come in, Liu Hongxun glared at him and snorted coldly: "Zhang Jingyi, do you want to bend into a move?" ”

Zhang Jingyi directly threw the document on Liu Hongxun's body, and then said, "What's going on?" Daruo Temple is a den of thieves, when you were still the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites in the second year of the Apocalypse, why did you ask about the selection of the host of Daruosi? This trivial matter also needs to alarm you, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites? ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Hongxun's face changed suddenly.

Zhang Jingyi saw Liu Hongxun's changing face, hooked his lips and smiled, and said with obvious sarcasm: "Until now, you are still putting your official authority here?" It seems that Liu Gong has not thought about how serious the matter is, and now what Liu Gong is involved in is the big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, does Liu Gong think that he can still get away with it now? ”

Liu Hongxun slowly closed his eyes, and only said lightly: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, the old man will frame it with you." ”

Zhang Jingyi sneered: "It seems that you don't plan to say it." ”

"There is nothing to say." Liu Hongxun still said with righteousness and awe: "The country has reached such a point, it is precisely because of the traitorous ministers like you that the world is disappointed!" ”

"Zhang Jingyi, you consciously can get rich and noble today, have you ever thought about what will happen to you when he dies in the future?"

"I know." Zhang Jing nodded: "So in your eyes, I will become a cool official, and I will not show mercy to you chaotic parties." ”

Liu Hongxun laughed and said: "Children's crazy words, it's not worth mentioning." ”

Zhang Jing looked at him coldly.

Liu Hongxun put on an untamed look and said: "Whatever crime you want to convict, you can convict it, so be it." ”

Zhang Jingyi immediately calmed down, and said with a smile: "It seems that Liu Gong has made up his mind to refuse to admit it, since Liu Gong doesn't care about himself, it seems that he doesn't care about his family." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Hongxun's face showed a look of pain, but he was still silent.

Zhang Jing simply walked out of the interrogation room and instructed Deng Jian: "This person, he won't speak so easily, first put this Liu Hongxun in a special cell." ”

Deng Jian nodded.

The so-called special cell was specially built by Zhang Jingyi in the prison, this cell can only accommodate one person standing, there is almost no way to curl up the body, there are high walls on three sides, only one side leads to the door, and as soon as the iron door is closed, it is pitch black.

People are inside, unable to sit down, unable to lie down, dark on all sides, and only the most important people, or those who are not honest, will be imprisoned and admonished for a few days.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary people can't stay in it for too long, and many people have not been imprisoned for long, and their bodies are almost on the verge of collapse, and they have to rely on people to carry them out.

Of course, for this day and age, this kind of little black house is much more 'civilized' than the vast majority of flesh-making punishments.

After Zhang Jingyi gave the order, he seemed to know that he couldn't ask anything for the time being, so he also looked calm and continued to be busy with other things.

…………

A letter has been sent to the vast expanse.

In a cowhide tent.

When someone rushed to deliver the letter.

The person who knelt down and took the letter after kneeling down on this case was actually a Han man.

He opened the letterhead, glanced at it lightly, shook his head, and sighed softly.

"Brother Fan." The person kneeling on the other side glanced up at this person, and then said with a little concern: "What, what happened in the Guannai?" ”

"It's a failure." This person, known as Brother Fan, has a fair complexion and a beautiful long beard, and at this time he frowned faintly: "Since there is that new county marquis... The old man felt that he had repeatedly hit a wall, and no matter what he was, it was not as happy as before. ”

Immediately, he looked up at the man in front of him and said: "This Ming Dynasty's civil and military affairs are either incompetent, or greedy and incompetent, so you don't have to pay attention to them." And the greedy, we have money to buy them and make it convenient for us. Only this person named Zhang Jingyi suddenly came out, and he was in the limelight, but he was in trouble with us everywhere. Ay...... Could it be that this is the fate of the old man? ”

He said, sighing.

…………

The third chapter is delivered, asking for a monthly pass, and the final showdown is ready to begin.
