Chapter Forty-Seven: Qin Cha Lu Qu
Lu Qu arrived in Fengcheng two days ago, and when he led the Protector Army directly into Fengcheng, Jia Wensong knew that the matter of Liangzhou had leaked out, but he didn't know how much information the imperial court had now.
Facing his immediate boss, the current minister of the Imperial Mission, Jia Wensong knew that he was already in a catastrophe.
He is regarded as the person of Li Yi, the secretary of the ministry, Lu Qu is the spokesperson of Lin Qian of Xiangguo in the ministry, and there are not a few people who know the contradictions between him and Lin Xiangguo, but this time it is still Lu Qu who is in office, which shows that the emperor has pronounced his own ending.
Since it is already a fact that cannot be changed, Jia Wensong's heart is not so worried.
Now Jia Wensong has been placed under house arrest by Lu Qu in the state pastoral mansion, and he does not look like he is going to be interrogated for the time being, but he is busy with disaster relief and food, and the roster of the state capital has also been taken in Lu Qu's hands.
This time, it was Cui Zhenhai, the general of Chenlong, who led the Protector Army to follow Lu Qu to Liangzhou, and since entering Liangzhou, he had not had a smile on his face.
As a general, he never dared to believe that he would be such a state pastor who had lost his conscience in the government of Liangzhou!
Lu Qu closed the roster in his hand and threw it heavily on the table, "It's really shameless, embezzling disaster relief money, forging a list of disaster victims, and brutalizing the people under his rule, this Jia Wensong is really a heinous crime, and not killing is not enough to anger the people!" ”
"Humph! According to Ben General's intentions, it is not an exaggeration to copy his state capital first! Cui Zhenhai was even more angry, and slapped Huang Huali's table, almost shaking the table to pieces.
Lu Qu looked at Cui Zhenhai, "General Cui, this official also agrees with your idea, why don't the two of us jointly write a letter, copy his state capital first, try out those comrades who are implicated with him, and strive to set all the charges before the follow-up officials arrive, and let them be appointed as soon as possible after they come, which can also save time." ”
Although Cui Zhenhai was angry, he also knew that a pastor like Jia Wensong was not something that the two of them could try now, and he had to be escorted to Beijing, and the criminal department and the ministry would be tried by the Ministry of Justice, he looked at Lu Qu hesitantly, "Lord Lu, although I would have liked to kill this dog official, but we don't have His Majesty's will now, so we can only take him down and then escort him into Beijing~"
Lu Qu also knew that although he was a nobleman, he could not dispose of such a feudal official at will. He thought about it for a while and replanned the language, "General Cui, this official naturally knows that he can't be interrogated for the time being, but we can search for evidence~"
Seeing Cui Zhenhai's puzzled look, Lu Qu said more bluntly, "If we don't confiscate his state capital, how can we search for evidence?" Think about it, judging from the current situation, Jia Wensong must be a dead end! Escort to Beijing for interrogation also requires evidence, right? We can interrogate other people and let them bite out Jia Wensong, but this can only be human evidence, and we still have to search for physical evidence from his house! ”
Cui Zhenhai is just a soldier and has never handled a case, and he also thinks what Lu Qu said makes sense, "Well~ Okay, then let's start with his state capital first and see if there is any evidence of his corruption and perversion of the law!" ”
Lu Qu saw that he agreed to his suggestion, and immediately smiled and nodded, of course what he wanted was not simple physical evidence of corruption and perversion of the law, he also wanted evidence of Jia Wensong's collusion with the courtiers, he wanted to search for it while Jia Wensong had not had time to destroy the evidence, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
And the search for these evidence can't be deliberate, it can only be pulled out of the radish and brought out the mud, as if it was obtained by chance, then Cui Zhenhai is the best witness!
Just thinking of this, the soldiers of the Protector Army outside came in to report, "General Qiyu, someone outside asked to see him, saying that it was Wu Feng in Langzhong of the Criminal Department." ”
Cui Zhenhai looked at Lu Qu, Lu Qu's face was happy, "Let him come in, Wu Feng is the first person who discovered the corruption case of this disaster." ”
Cui Zhenhai nodded and asked the soldiers to bring Wu Feng in.
Wu Feng and the three of them came to the hall and bowed down to Lu Qu, "Humble Wu Feng (Wang Gui, Xue Li) has seen Lord Qincha. ”
Lu Qu walked up to Wu Feng with a smile, "Lord Wu doesn't have to be polite, this case is thanks to your timely discovery, otherwise the imperial court would still be in the dark." ”
Wu Feng naturally didn't dare to take credit, "The humble position is just a coincidence, and others will find out when they come." ”
"Hehe~ Master Wu doesn't have to be humble, tell me what you have discovered, and see if there is anything missing here." Lu Qu will be in a good mood, and he will speak very casually.
Wu Feng said the problem he found again.
When Cui Zhenhai heard that Jiayuan's situation was even worse, he couldn't wait to go over and arrest Jiayuan's county order, "How can this be reasonable, I will immediately send someone over to take down this dog official!" ”
Lu Qu smiled and persuaded him not to be impatient, the county magistrate of Jiayuan County was just a small sesame official, and he would definitely not be able to escape.
Wu Feng saw that Lu Qu didn't pay much attention to the situation in Jiayuan County, and he was afraid that Xiao Zheng would blame him at that time, and he would also follow to eat melons, "Lord Lu, there is still a situation to report to you." ”
By the time Wu Feng finished reporting Xiao Zheng's explanation, Lu Qu had already stood up from the chair, "You mean His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived in Jiayuan County?" ”
"Yes, Lord Lu, it was His Highness who asked the lowly to come and ask Lord Lu to help summon the Shadow Division."
"Why didn't you say anything about Liangzhou earlier? You... You really don't know the severity~" Lu Qu looked at Wu Feng with complaint, but he didn't blame him too much, after all, Wu Feng was not his subordinate, and there was no need to report everything to him.
"Lord Lu, forgive me, it's the negligence of the lower officials." Wu Feng naturally didn't want to offend this important minister of the Qin Mission.
Cui Zhenhai's eyes were sharp, and he slapped the table, "I said how could this matter be discovered by your criminal department first, it turned out that there was a problem with the Shadow Division, since His Highness said that the people of the Shadow Division would be summoned, then he would immediately order all the spies of the Shadow Division to gather in the Protector Army camp in Fengcheng." ”
Lu Qu watched Cui Zhenhai leave in a hurry, turned around and looked at Wu Feng with a smile, "Lord Wu, don't be surprised, General Cui is a straight person, he speaks without measure, it is estimated that he was in a hurry when he heard His Highness's orders, and you also know his relationship with His Highness..."
Wu Feng was a little uncomfortable when he heard Cui Zhenhai's words, but after Lu Qu's hint, he immediately laughed again, "How dare the lower officials be surprised, what General Cui said was originally the truth, if it wasn't for the problem with the Shadow Division, it would have been reported to the imperial court a long time ago, and it would not be the turn of the lower officials to pick up credit here~haha~"
As soon as Lu Qu heard it, he knew that Wu Feng was a smart person, and he remembered that Wu Feng was a veteran of the Criminal Department, and he must have his own uniqueness in the investigation and handling of the case, so he started to win over, "Lord Wu, what do you think of this case?" ”
Wu Feng saw Lu Qu asking for his opinion, thought about it, and expressed his attitude implicitly, "I'm afraid this incident shocked the government and the opposition, the imperial court has not had such a big case for a long time, Lord Lu is going to show his face this time~"
"Alas~ This is also a blessing thanks to you Lord Wu, besides, you are the first contributor to this case, after returning to Beijing, it will definitely be rewarded for meritorious deeds, the elder brother is now in a relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince, and the progress is just around the corner, and the elder brother may have to ask you to take care of it in the future~" Lu Qu pulled into the relationship with each other in a few words.
"Ouch, Lord Lu's words have tormented the lower officials, and the lower officials still want to ask Lord Lu to say a lot of good things to the imperial court~" Wu Feng also knew the elegance when he heard the strings, and he was happy to have a personal relationship with this official minister.
Lu Qu saw that he also intended to make friends with him, and he was also happy in his heart, "The matter of the Shadow Division, since it is His Highness's order, we naturally can't be lazy, I don't know if His Highness has any suggestions for this investigation and handling of Liangzhou officials?" ”
Wu Feng thought for a while and shook his head, "His Royal Highness didn't explain this matter, only said that it was completely the responsibility of Lord Lu, but..."Wu Feng looked at Lu Qu's nervous eyes, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very disgusted with these corrupt officials, and His Royal Highness can come to Liangzhou in person, which in itself shows an attitude, maybe Your Majesty also means this, what does Lord Lu think?" ”
Lu Qu nodded contemplatively, "Brother Wu is reasonable, I want to thank you for your advice~"
"Lord Lu must have thought of it a long time ago, test my younger brother here, right?"
"Ahaha~" Lu Qu smiled and pointed at Wu Feng, "Your brother, by the way, brother, you are a master of handling cases in the Criminal Department, and there is something I want to trouble you here~"
"When my brother said this, he was outside, if there is anything you command!"
"That's the case, just now, my brother and I discussed with General Cui to search Jia Wensong's state residence first and get relevant physical evidence, which is also an important purpose of my brother's trip, but these people who came with me are all soldiers of General Cui's Protector Army, gold and silver objects or something are easy to do, involving some letters, books and the like, it is inevitable..."
Wu Feng understood what he meant as soon as he heard it, and glanced at him quietly, "I understand what my brother meant, searching for evidence is originally the housekeeping skill of my criminal department, and when the time comes, I will hand over the books and the like to my brother, and if I find anything, I will hand it over to my brother in time~"
Lu Qu looked at Wu Feng with a smile, "I know that my brother has this ability, so please leave it to my brother." ”
After thinking about it, Lu Qu threw Wu Feng another look, "By the way, brother, I still have a trouble here, I need your help~"
As soon as Wu Feng saw Lu Qu's expression, he knew that it was definitely not a "troublesome matter", "Brother just said~"
"That's the case, this time the imperial court will definitely change a lot of officials, and they will come over in time in the future, although the imperial court will give them a general opinion on their employment, but they don't know which official is guilty now, and this will have to wait for us to vacate the position for them, so that everyone's position can be determined."
Speaking of this, Lu Qu "sighed", "Alas~ At that time, the matter of specific position assignment will fall on my shoulders, you also know, brother, I will definitely be very busy at that time, and I don't necessarily know what position everyone is suitable for, your brother wants to share it with me, who do you think is suitable and in what position can give my brother a suggestion, you can't shirk this~"
This is to give yourself fruit to eat, and a fool will excuse himself.
Wu Feng didn't expect Lu Qu to really spend the money, and he was willing to give himself a piece of the pie, and immediately said, "Brother, this is worthy of me, how dare I refuse, it's just that the people I know are limited after all, and I may not be able to help much, so one or two suggestions are good, and when the time comes, the elder brother doesn't mind his brother being verbose~"
"Haha~" Lu Qu saw that he knew how to advance and retreat, and he didn't cause too much trouble to himself, so he asked for one or two places, and he also thought a little higher of him in his heart, "It's good that your brother has this heart, how can my brother mind?" Hehe~"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and they both had a plan in their hearts.
