Chapter 187: Copying the Scholar's Home

Since its establishment, Jinyiwei has grown to 80,000 people after a hundred years.

This time, there were only more than 500 people from the Beizhen Mansion Division, and later 3,000 were transferred one after another.

Nanjing's Zhao Prison, Criminal Department Prison, Shuntianfu Prison and other places that can lock people up have long been full, but a large number of prisoners are still sent to Nanjing every day.

In desperation, Yuan Bin had no choice but to find a way to open up one new prison after another.

Even some large mansions, after a little treatment, have been turned into temporary prisons.

The scale involved in this case is too large, and the people who were arrested are basically the gentry class in Jiangnan, which also includes many officials, or have direct or indirect interests with officials, fortunately, their bones are not hard, most of them are similar to Wang Gongming, and before the torture instrument is greeted to the body, they have already begun to cry bitterly, expressing repentance, and showing quite cooperation.

But even so, Yuan Bin was still anxious.

In just half a month, more than 1,000 people have been taken, and these dog things, seeing that they can't get out, began to bite and frantically confess their accomplices, fellow villagers, clansmen, and even their own protΓ©gΓ©s.

In the whole Jiangnan, everyone is already in danger, and these people suddenly find that their classmates, friends, teachers and students who had a good relationship with them have become their biggest enemies overnight.

So, in order to prevent you from confessing to me first, I decided to confess to you first.

So that some people really can't confess anything, and in order to strive for leniency, they also confess some small problems that are detrimental to morality, such as so-and-so peeking at the widow next door taking a bath.

In this way, more people are involved, which greatly increases the difficulty of screening.

Yuan Bin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is now notorious, what kind of court eagle dog, what the emperor's lackey, what kind of cruelty to Zhongliang...... All kinds of names were deducted in one go, and in just a few days, his reputation has surpassed Wang Zhen and caught up with Qin Hui of the Song Dynasty.

He did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and everyone he caught left a confession and evidence.

However, the right to speak in the Ming Dynasty is precisely in the hands of these people, and in the face of such a situation, there can only be bitterness and unspeakable.

The recitals in front of Zhu Qizhen have piled up, all of them are impeaching Jinyiwei and impeaching Yuan Bin.

However, at least half of the owners of these songs have already been arrested.

Some people just sent the song out in the morning, and the Jinyi guard came to the door in the evening.

Even so, there were still a large number of swords, flying in like snowflakes.

Even if you are not involved, seeing such a big movement in Nanjing, you have already begun to read the book.

In their opinion, the relationship between officials and Jinyiwei is inherent, and the emperor is so laissez-faire that Jinyiwei behaves nonsense, which is really a mediocre act, so although Song Shuli is scolding Jinyiwei, there is a deeper meaning between the lines.

Zhu Qizhen simply threw them all aside, not bothering to take a look.

He is now determined to compete head-on with the gentry class of the Ming Dynasty, as for reputation or anything, it doesn't matter!

Isn't it just a faint king, scold, when you have scolded enough, there will be more ruthless ones in the future!

Yuan Bin was interrogating day and night, and hurriedly sorted out the results of the interrogation in the past few days, and then came to report.

When Zhu Qizhen saw the result, although he was mentally prepared, he was also quite surprised.

"These guys are actually starting to bite each other?"

"Back to the emperor, the minister thinks this is a good thing."

Zhu Qizhen suddenly became interested and said, "Well, you keep talking!" ”

Yuan Bin nodded and said: "Jiangnan is almost monolithic, through various relationships, they have formed a group with common interests, it is not easy to uproot these people, the only way is to let them bite up." In the past, they relied on the relationship between fellow villagers, the same year, classmates, and protΓ©gΓ©s, and everyone sat together to eat meat, and their interests were equal. But now it is different, they want to leave the lives of the whole family, and if they don't bite others, they will have no chance to make meritorious contributions. In this way, they are no longer monolithic, what kind of bullshit Jiangnan scholars, as long as they are on it

Punishment, all the original form is revealed! ”

After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but say: "No wonder they are scolding you, this method is really poisonous enough." ”

Yuan Bin smiled bitterly: "Actually, the minister did this just to give them a chance." ”

"What chance?"

Yuan Bin continued: "Their relationship network is too dense, and the clans in Jiangnan are the most deep-rooted, does the emperor really want to kill them? If you really want to kill them all, I'm afraid that you can't kill even a hundred thousand. Instead of killing, it is better to punish the heart! If the emperor wants to implement a new policy, then he must have silver, food, and let these old men who guard their own one-third of an acre of land regress, and now they eat dogs themselves, confess their crimes, and raid their homes, money and food can enrich the treasury, and can also make the original power collapse, and the emperor will implement the new policy again, and he can get twice the result with half the effort! ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded, Yuan Bin was really reliable, and he could even think of this section.

The implementation of the new policy will inevitably touch the interests of the gentry class, and if the new policy is implemented under the original situation, it will be extremely difficult.

He pondered for a long time, looked at Yuan Bin with blazing eyes and said, "Since you have confessed your guilt, then raid your house, how much silver can you copy from this Jiangnan?" ”

"This ......"

Yuan Bin smiled bitterly: "It's not good for the minister. ”

Zhu Qizhen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why can't you say it well?" ”

Yuan Bin explained: "It's too much, for the time being...... Immeasurable ......"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "The stakes are very high, hurry up and do it, ordinary things, you don't have to come to report to me, give you the right to make your own decisions." ”

Yuan Bin got the order and hurried out.

After further combing, things began to have a clue, and gradually, they became orderly.

All the people involved in the case did not rush to copy the mansion first, arrested people first, caught people, interrogated overnight, and at the same time, sent people to keep an eye on the mansion of every person involved in the case, so as to prevent their family members from taking risks or hiding their goods.

Then the eucalyptus of different people is divided into grades according to the severity, and different treatment methods are adopted for different grades of eucalyptus.

Treating differently is actually the most confusing.

For example, this Wang Gongming, a smart man like him, quickly realized that he was being imprisoned in a new cell.

The cell has a number B sign hanging on it.

Sure enough, as soon as he asked, he learned that he was able to enter room B because he confessed at the beginning, which was regarded as a meritorious performance, otherwise, he would definitely enter room A.

It is rumored that the A-word room may be punished by the nine clans!

This made Wang Gongming breathe a sigh of relief, but soon, he began to use his brains.

After all, a great smart man like him is imprisoned every day, rarely in contact with people, and what he does every day is to think about all kinds of things.

So after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly felt ......

Since you can go from a number A to a number B, why can't you go further and strive for a number C, or a lower level.

Thinking of this, he seemed to see hope and began to write reports non-stop.

Of course, there are also confessions, but apparently, people are not interested in this.

So, he closed his eyes every day and pondered, racking his brains to figure out who else he had not reported.

…………

Just when the chickens and dogs were jumping in the whole south of the Yangtze River, Zhang Yi and Kuang Yu finally rushed back to Beijing from Mobei.

This journey was full of dust, I couldn't eat well, I couldn't sleep well, and I didn't bring a change of clothes with me, so I just wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and I couldn't care about it.

Now that I'm finally back in Beijing, it's just that why do I feel ...... Weird atmosphere?

The two didn't think much about it, and after entering the city, they went straight back to the palace to resume their lives, but they didn't expect that as soon as they arrived in the inner city, the road was blocked.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi stepped forward and asked, "Who are you and why are you closing the road?" ”

The other party glanced at him vigilantly, pressed the handle of the knife on his waist, and said: "Jinyi Wei Office, idle people, etc., are not allowed to approach!" ”

Zhang Yi's face became ugly, the old man is a cabinet scholar, and in your mouth, he has become an idle person?

At that moment, the nameless fire in his heart was on fire, and he said:

"What about Jinyiwei, if you want to do it, why do you close the road?"

"Can't you change places if you want food? I told you what to do, hurry up and go away! ”

Zhang Yi's whole person froze suddenly, he has suffered an old crime these days, the official uniform on his body has long been tattered, his face is also unkempt, his hair is unkempt, at first glance, he is really no different from a beggar on the street.

Kuang Yu couldn't help but step forward, grabbed the brocade guard's clothes, and said angrily: "Are you blind, do you recognize the old man?" ”

The other party didn't take these two people seriously, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but look at them twice, hmm...... What's the matter with these two old beggars, are they crazy?

At this time, a young officer suddenly recognized Kwong Yu and hurriedly stepped forward.

"It turned out to be Lord Kuang, I'm really sorry, the people below have no eyes, I don't know how Lord Kuang is...... This outfit? ”

Kuang asked angrily, "Who are you?" ”

"Inferior Jinyi Weinan Town Mansion, Zhu Ji!"

Zhu Ji had just rushed back to Beijing from Fuzhou, and because a large number of Jinyi guards had been transferred to Nanjing, Yuan Bin was worried that there was no one in Beijing and he was afraid of trouble, so he sent Zhu Ji back.

Zhang Yi suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are you Yu Qian's son-in-law?" ”

"Yes, excuse me...... Oh, it's Lord Zhang! ”

Zhu Ji said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I didn't recognize it." ”

Zhang Yi waved his hand and said, "The old man just came back from Mobei, what's the matter, if it's a common person, a beggar on the side of the road, can Jinyiwei be bullied at will?" ”

"I don't mean that, I really have official business today, and I ask the two adults to forgive me!"

Zhang Yi's face was a little better, and he asked again: "Such a wide road, is it in the way of you?" The old man told you that you should be low-key, your father-in-law is not like this, and your commander is also ...... Hey, it's not ......."

When I looked up inadvertently, I suddenly found that this place seemed to be somewhat familiar.

Kuang Yu also found out, and hurriedly asked, "What are you doing, isn't this the mansion of the tall man?" ”

Zhu Ji said politely: "It is the mansion of the tall man, and he is humble...... Raid the house! ”

"What?"

Zhang Yi and Kuang Yu glanced at each other, revealing incredible eyes.

Raid the home of a cabinet scholar?

"Stop!"

Zhang Yi immediately yelled: "Stop, you make it clear, what's going on?" ”

Kuang Yu didn't panic, and took out a document from his arms.

"This is the emperor's personal driver's post!"

Zhang Yi almost snatched it up, looked at it a few times, and his face became more and more ugly.

Isn't that ...... Gao Hub chased you to persuade you to return to Beijing, as for raiding your home?

If it was at the beginning, it was himself who went to Nanjing, and now his house is raided...... Is it yourself?

He was very confused now, and asked, "Does His Royal Highness know about this matter?" ”

"The lowly position is only to act according to orders, and nothing else is clear!"

Zhang Yi threw the driving post back to him, pulled Kuang Wei and said, "Go, go to see His Royal Highness King Yu!" ”

The two came to the noon gate angrily, but were stopped by the guards.

"This is the forbidden place of the palace, go elsewhere if you want food!"

Zhang Yi was about to scold on the spot, Kuang Yu rolled up his sleeves and was about to make a move, and the guards saw that the two of them had broken into the palace, so they directly pulled out the knife.

Kwong suddenly felt that he was old and shouldn't be so irritable.

So, he said calmly: "The old man is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and he will enter the palace to see His Royal Highness King Yu!" ”

As he spoke, he handed over his official seal.

The other party first looked at the official seal, it was indeed no problem, and then carefully looked at the two of them, although the body was tattered, it was vaguely visible that it was indeed an official robe, so they were released.

The two came all the way to the Wenhua Palace, but saw that Cao Nai was also there, and glanced at the two, and there was a little confused look in their eyes.

Zhang Yi didn't care about greetings, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, as soon as the ministers returned to Beijing, they saw Jinyi Wei surrounding the tall man's house, saying that he wanted to ...... Raid the house! ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "This king also just learned that Jinyiwei has a driver's license issued by the emperor himself, and this matter is ......a long story."

Speaking of this, he gave Cao Nai a look.

Cao Nai handed over a few pieces of paper, and after Zhang Yi took it, he hurriedly looked at the content on it, his face was incredible.

"It's impossible...... Master Gao has always been known for his incorruptibility, how could he be greedy for so much silver......"

Cao Nai said: "Your Highness, now we still don't know the truth of the matter, if someone here is an obstacle, I'm afraid it will be bad for the court!" ”

Zhu Qiyu is also very entangled, after all, he is a cabinet scholar, so he can't just copy it, he must always make things clearer, and then make a conclusion.

"This king is also worried, it's better to be like this, let's all go over, what is going on, you can see at a glance!"

Cao Nai bowed and said, "That's very good!" ”

Zhang Yi and Kuang Yu immediately said: "I will go with His Highness!" ”

Cao Nai glanced at the two of them and asked, "Why don't you two go take a shower and change your clothes first?" ”

"What other clothes!"

Zhang Yi said impatiently: "Jinyiwei is already raiding the house, and it will be too late if you don't go!" ”
