This battle started early in the morning, and it was the end of the Shen time to break through the Japanese village, and it was already the time to clean up the battle. The fog faded, but it did not completely disperse, and the sun over the mountains to the west was orange and yellow, dimly slanting on the sea and the beach.

Anyone who has fought a big battle in Qi's army knows that after a vicious battle, cleaning up the situation is often more difficult than fighting. Hu Zongxian supervised the military regulations of Zhejiang, and all prisoners must not be killed indiscriminately, and must be detained and interrogated, and convicted in accordance with the law; The rescued people had to be properly given money and food to arrange for them to return to their hometowns. Because it was nearly dusk, both the prisoners of war and the civilians had to camp nearby and wait for the early morning of the next day before they could be escorted and repatriated. From the flotilla on the sea to the shore, there was a crowd of people, and the sound of orders and shouts came and went.

Qi Dazhu and his volunteers had nothing to do, and at this time they were all quietly lined up on the beach in the corner of the battlefield, many people were bandaging their wounds, and many people were looking at two rows of strange people not far away.

These two rows of people, one row are soldiers of the Qi family's army, all of them are young students, all of them have excitement on their faces, but they don't dare to say anything, and they look at the row of people opposite with wide eyes.

In the row opposite the soldiers were dozens of women rescued this time, most of them girls and young women in their teens and twenties, and there were also women in their thirties, all of whom stood there quietly.

Hu Zhen, who commanded the warships of the Southwest Naval Division, stood in the middle of the top of these two rows of people, looked at the women in that row first, and said loudly: "Think about it yourself, if there are any lost relatives to find, it is true that the relatives have been killed by the Japanese and their homes have been burned, so they can stay and be a military household." If you don't want to be a military household, you can still go to your relatives and friends now! ”

The women in that row all bowed their heads, and none of them answered, let alone left.

Hu Zhen: "That is, you are all willing to stay." That's good, then marry the chicken with the chicken, marry the dog with the dog! From now on, Taizhou Wei will be your home. As he spoke, he turned to the platoon of soldiers: "You have heard me clearly! It's still the old rule, starting from the left, the first one is the number one, and the number is the number in the line. Whoever holds you is your mother-in-law! Military regulations are the orders of parents, and casting lots is the words of the matchmaker, which is considered to be the marriage of the media! Don't dislike it, don't change it privately, don't beat and scold after following you, you have to live a good life! ”

The platoon of soldiers replied in unison, "Yes!" ”

Hu Zhen said to the soldier holding a bamboo tube beside him: "Let them cast lots!" ”

The soldier walked towards the row of women with a bamboo tube in his hand, and stood in front of the first one.

The first woman looked timidly at the bamboo tube, then closed her eyes and pulled out a small ball of paper from it, anxious to open it.

Soldier: "Pinch." When it's over, call it open and open it again. ”

The woman immediately crumpled the ball of paper in the palm of her hand.

Then, in order, one by one, women pulled out a ball of paper from the bamboo tube that the soldier was holding, and squeezed it tightly.

The soldier froze in front of a woman who stood quietly with her head bowed and not casting lots.

The soldier: "Whoa! ”

The woman looked up, "Let the next one go." ”

The soldier was stunned—this woman had just come down from a catastrophe, and there was a long knife mark on her right cheek from the left forehead to the eyebrows, but her eyes were still so bright, and the smoke and sweat could not hide the indescribable vividness on her face!

The row of soldiers on the opposite side all looked at the woman.

The soldier holding the bamboo tube: "What are you doing here without casting lots?" ”

The woman was still stubborn: "Let the next one go." ”

Hu Zhen also saw it in his eyes: "Next!" ”

The soldier had no choice but to hold the bamboo tube and hand it to the next woman.

Many of the soldiers in the opposite row were still staring at this woman's face, but this woman looked at Qi Dazhu and them.

Although the distance was not close, Qi Dazhu's gaze actually met this woman's gaze at this time, and his heart moved inexplicably. Then all the brothers around him stood up, and he didn't even realize it.

"You are Qi Dazhu?" A figure stood beside Qi Dazhu.

"I am." Qi Dazhu responded, then he moved his gaze, was not surprised, and quickly stood up.

Qi Jiguang stood in front of him.

"Xiaomin Qi Dazhu see General Qi!" As he spoke, he bowed his hand and bowed down.

Qi Jiguang held him with both hands: "He is a good man!" You are the first to fight this battle! I will reward you, and reward your brethren. ”

Qi Dazhu: "We came voluntarily, don't reward us." ”

Qi Jiguang: "It's your business whether you come or not, and it's my business whether you want to reward or not." I have consulted with you, will you take your brother to stay with me? ”

Qi Dazhu looked at Qi Jiguang: "I am willing!" Others were willing. But some of the brothers were afraid that they would have to go back. ”

Qi Jiguang was very happy: "As long as you are willing to stay!" If you want to go back, you can go back. ”

"Seventeen!" Then there was a loud announcement, and then a commotion erupted. The eyes of the people on Qi Dazhu's side were attracted again.

It turned out that Hu Zhen finished checking the number in the first woman's hand, and just after reading the number, the seventeenth in the soldier's row walked towards the woman with a gun in the commotion, and stopped a foot away from her, and stretched out the barrel of the spear in her hand to the woman, and the woman lowered her head, at a loss.

Hu Zhen: "Pinch the handle of the gun." ”

The woman timidly grabbed the handle of the soldier's outstretched gun, and he led her to the opposite side.

Hu Zhen then read the second number: "Number nine!" ”

There was another commotion, and the ninth soldier walked over with a gun.

Qi Dazhu and the others were all stunned.

Hu Zhen's chanting trumpets kept coming, and the noise of the soldiers also kept coming.

Seeing the demeanor of Qi Dazhu and these people, Qi Jiguang smiled: "The widows are evil, these women are homeless, it just so happens that many of our brothers are single, and the method of forcing them out can be regarded as merit." ”

Qi Dazhu's admiration arose spontaneously: "It is said that the Qi family army is beaten by iron, and Xiaomin can be regarded as seeing it today." ”

Qi Jiguang's smile suddenly narrowed, and his face sank: "This is not the Qi family's army, and you are no longer a small citizen." ”

Qi Dazhu was stunned.

Qi Jiguang said loudly: "A little bit, see how many of your brothers are willing to stay, form a team, and I will transfer some veterans to you, and it will be under your control." From today onwards, you will be my head of 100 households! ”

"Yes." Qi Dazhu was a little shy at this time, and his answer was a little silent.

Qi Jiguang: "Be louder." ”

"Yes!" Qi Dazhu's voice was very loud.

Qi Jiguang's face was very cold at this time: "When you enter the Taizhou Wei military camp, you have to act according to military regulations." Also, in the future, you are not allowed to say what kind of Qi family army you are. All the military camps of my Ming Dynasty are the military camps of the imperial court, not the military camps of any family! Do you understand? ”

Qi Dazhu was stunned and replied solemnly: "Yes!" ”

Qi Jiguang: "Your brothers will rest here first, and someone will arrange for them to eat in formation." You come with me to meet someone first. ”

Qi Dazhu: "Yes." ”

Qi Jiguang took Qi Dazhu and walked towards the mountain.

"Wait!" Behind them came a woman's loud call. Qi Jiguang and Qi Dazhu both stood still.

A woman ran towards them, and it turned out to be the woman who did not want to cast lots, and had a knife mark on her face.

Qi Dazhu suddenly felt a feeling in his heart, and looked at the woman who ran over.

The woman didn't look at him after running over, she knelt down in front of Qi Jiguang and raised her head high: "You are General Qi, right?" ”

Qi Jiguang: "Yes." What's the matter with you? ”

"I'm going to talk to this man! Please ask General Qi to call the shots. The woman uttered the words in shock, and then kowtowed to the ground.

Qi Jiguang was a little puzzled: "Which man do you want to go with?" ”

The woman raised her head again and looked at Qi Jiguang: "It's the man next to the general!" ”

Qi Dazhu was shocked, and his eyes were wide open and he looked at the woman. The woman didn't look at him, she was still staring at Qi Jiguang tightly.

Qi Jiguang slowly looked at Qi Dazhu, and then at the woman: "Are you talking about him?" ”

Woman: "That's him!" ”

Qi Jiguang: "Why? ”

The woman: "He helped me kill the widows who killed my whole family!" ”

Qi Jiguang: "Do you want to repay the favor?" ”

Woman: "Yes." ”

"How do you know if he has a wife?" Qi Jiguang said and looked at Qi Dazhu.

"It doesn't matter if he has a wife or not." The woman replied aloud.

Qi Jiguang also encountered this kind of thing for the first time, and he felt interesting, after all, he looked at Qi Dazhu again, and then at the woman: "Do you know if he wants you?" ”

The woman was so resolute: "I follow him." ”

Qi Jiguang was moved by her attitude, and looked at Qi Dazhu fixedly.

Qi Dazhu lowered his head instead.

Qi Jiguang said to the woman: "You go over there and wait first." ”

The woman kowtowed, stood up quietly and walked quietly towards Qi Dazhu's group of brothers, never looking at Qi Dazhu.

Qi Dazhu's brothers were already stunned when they stood there, and countless pairs of eyes were looking at this woman who came quietly.

The woman walked about a foot away from them and sat down on the beach.

Qi Jiguang took Qi Dazhu and continued to walk towards the mountain: "Do you have a wife?" ”

Qi Dazhu: "It turns out that there is, I gave birth to a child last year, and I had a difficult birth, and the mother and child were not saved." ”

"Oh." Qi Jiguang couldn't help but glance at him again, then stopped talking and strode forward. Qi Dazhu silently followed his pace and walked into a forest.

"Yubu Tang, his subordinates brought him." Qi Jiguang knelt down on one leg.

Qi Dazhu stood there a little confused. On a large rock in front of him, the man sitting was dark, thin, and inconspicuous. And the famous General Qi knelt down at that person.

Qi Jiguang stood up again and faced Qi Dazhu: "This is Hu Butang who let you go in the first place." Come and see you. ”

Qi Dazhu was shocked, and then he knew that this person was Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, and immediately knelt down with his legs: "Xiaomin Qi Dazhu meets Hu Butang!" ”

Hu Zongxian smiled lightly: "Haizhi County sent you?" ”

Qi Dazhu: "Lord Huibutang, yes." ”

Hu Zongxian: "You have made meritorious contributions this time. ”

Qi Dazhu: "Lord Huibutang, it should be." ”

Hu Zongxian: "You didn't get the military salary of the imperial court, so you shouldn't talk about it." ”

Qi Dazhu raised his head: "If it wasn't for the Lord of the Ministry to let us go, and if it wasn't for Haizhi County to save us, we would have died a few times." If you can contribute something to the court, of course, you should do it. ”

Hu Zongxian looked at Qi Jiguang: "Did you hear that?" The people didn't know what the court was. The court in their hearts is us, the officials. ”

Qi Jiguang was solemnly moved: "My subordinates understand." ”

Hu Zongxian asked Qi Jiguang again: "Did they promise to stay?" ”

Qi Jiguang: "Back to the ministry, he agreed, some people are willing to stay with him, and some people want to go back." ”

Hu Zongxian slowly stood up: "After writing the military newspaper, give them the first credit, and the rest will be guaranteed according to the merit, and I will report to the military department tonight." ”

Qi Jiguang: "Yes." ”

"Get up." Hu Zongxian looked at Qi Dazhu again.

Only then did Qi Dazhu stand up.

Hu Zongxian: "Although you are now an official soldier, fighting this battle is still done by the righteous people." I have nothing else to reward you, but give you this sword. As he spoke, he untied the sword at his waist and handed it over.

Qi Dazhu stood dumbfounded, not daring to reach out to take the sword.

Qi Jiguang was also a little surprised: "Ministry, this is the sword you used when you were in the military department, how can you give it away?" ”

Hu Zongxian: "It's not much use for me to take it with me, so it's better to give it to him to kill a few more pirates." ”

What do you mean by "not much use"? Being an official is nothing more than the word advance and retreat, Qi Jiguang immediately felt the retreat in his heart, and it was the kind of helpless retreat, he felt sour in his heart, and saw Hu Zongxian handing the sword there with both hands, and hurriedly lowered his voice to the big pillar: "Take it quickly!" ”

Qi Dazhu knelt down again, raised his hands and took the sword.

Hu Zongxian began to walk towards the side of the mountain, and the captain of the pro-soldiers and the pro-soldiers led the horses and immediately followed.

Qi Jiguang took a deep look: "Send it to the department!" ”

Hu Zongxian stood up again, and when he turned around, Qi Dazhu was still kneeling there with a sword in his hand and looking at him.

Hu Zongxian: "I ask you brothers who went back to bring a word of thanks, Haizhi County." ”

Qi Dazhu replied loudly: "Yes!" ”

The sky gradually darkened, and Hu Zongxian and his soldiers disappeared into the dark depths of the woods.

It was already the time for Hai Rui to arrive at the Hangzhou Pavilion Station. The same place, the same people, months apart, but the attitude of the postman who came in this time was very different. The post man himself held the lamp, and the post man led the horse into the courtyard gate for him in the back.

"Has Wang Zhixian arrived?" Hai Rui asked aloud as soon as he entered the door.

"Do you dare to arrive first?" Wang Yongji also carried a lantern in his hand, standing in the courtyard, still smiling, looking at Hai Rui.

One is in Chun'an, the other is in Jiande, a neighboring county, but they haven't been able to meet for a few months. Hai Rui saw him suddenly feel the spring breeze blowing on his face, and immediately walked over: "You are always faster than my legs." ”

Wang Yongji: "I am closer than you, the location is just good, the location is good." ”

"Where to stay?" Hai Rui asked Wang Yongji.

Yi Cheng immediately answered: "I arranged a big room in the east courtyard for the two masters." Master Wang said that you must live in the two rooms where you used to live, and the small ones have to obey their fate. If you think it is inconvenient to do office work, you can also adjust it. ”

"The original good! Stayed in the last two rooms we had left. Hai Rui agreed loudly.

But as soon as he entered the door, Hai Rui felt wrong, was this the original room?

- There are lamps hanging on the beams, lamps sitting on the corners, and lamps on the bookcases, shining brightly! The room is indeed still that room, but the furnishings have all changed, the color of Huanghuali furniture, the bookcase is also much larger, and the paper, pen and ink inkstone on it are obviously of the highest quality, neatly arranged. On the table, the tea sets on the coffee table have also been replaced with fine porcelain, and there are also vases and antiques.

Hai Rui stood in the middle of the house, glancing up and down, left and right.

Yi Cheng stood beside him and pointed to the Huanghuali washstand by the door: "Master Hai will wash your face first, and let them take a bath for you later." See what is missing, I'll send someone to bring it to you." ”

Hai Rui saw that there was also a white cloud copper basin on the washstand next to the door, which had been filled with clean water, and a snow-white Songjiang cotton cloth handkerchief was half in the water and half on the side of the basin. His face became even more ugly, and he slowly looked at the poster.

Wang Yongji stood on the other side and smiled, he knew that Yi Cheng was about to touch his nose with ashes.

"What are you doing with so many lights!" Hai Rui really gave him a nail as soon as he opened his mouth, "And these vases and the like!" We're here to do business. Leave a lamp on the table and take away everything else that is useless. ”

The post man was immediately embarrassed: "Master Hai, although you and Master Wang are still serving as the magistrate, this time they are on an errand." We are in accordance with the rules of reception. ”

Hai Jui: "What regulation?" Is there such a regulation in the "Daming Huidian"? ”

The post man had no choice but to look at Wang Yongji.

Wang Yongji: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." You can do what Master Hai wants. ”

The post man had no choice but to shout to the post man outside: "Take a fork and put out the lamp on the beam and the lamp." Move out all the vases and antiques. ”

Immediately two postmen came in, one with a long pole and fork to fork the lamp hanging from the beams of the house, and the other to fetch the vases and antiques that were placed everywhere.

Wang Yongji said to Hai Rui: "Let's wipe your face first." Let them do it, go to my room and sit down. ”

"Don't wipe it." As he spoke, Hai Rui beckoned the king to walk out the door. When he walked to the door, he said to the Yicheng: "One hundred and one horses of Songjiang cotton cloth are used to make a facecloth, and you are too generous." Changed, I only use hemp ones. ”

As he spoke, he arrived at the door of Wang Yongji's guest room, and as soon as he pushed the door open, Hai Rui looked like he didn't want to go in.

——Wang Yongji's room is exactly the same size and furnishings as Hai Rui's room just now.

"Forget it. I'd better stand outside the courtyard. Hai Rui said and left.

Wang Yongji grabbed him, still smiling: "You don't want to live a good life, and you don't allow others to be comfortable?" It's too impersonal. ”

Hai Rui: "What a favor. Runlian, do you know how much silver this specification costs a person a day? ”

Wang Yongji: "Including food, twenty taels a day." ”

Hai Rui: "Know you're still living?" ”

Wang Yongji smiled: "Because this was personally arranged by Zhao Zhongcheng and the Weaving Bureau." ”

Zhao Zhenji is the governor and the chief judge of this case, and the specifications of the food and lodging he arranged for the jurors are understandable, but Wang Yongji said the three words "Weaving Bureau" very seriously, and there is an article in it.

Hai Rui immediately became vigilant: "It's been five days since the edict came down, and we didn't immediately call for a case when we came, but we started to make a fuss about the specifications." ”

Wang Yongji: "Actually, Zhao Zhongcheng has already come, and he has been waiting for you for an hour, just leaving." ”

"Really?" Hai Rui immediately turned around, "Then we'll go see him now." ”

"When is it?" Wang Yongji grabbed him, "Zhao Zhongcheng said, we will meet at the governor's yamen tomorrow morning." With that, he closed the door, and then pulled Hai Rui to the chair against the wall: "Come, sit down." ”

Hai Rui was asked by him to sit down in a chair against the wall. Wang Yongji dragged the chair next to him and sat down opposite him: "Let's not talk about the specifications first. Brother Gangfeng, when did you receive the order? ”

Hai Rui: "It was early in the morning a day ago. ”

Wang Yongji: "Jiande is closer than Chun'an, and I received the edict in the evening two days ago. According to the arrangement of the province, he was busy handing over the county government during the day, but he didn't close his eyes and couldn't sleep at night for the past two nights. ”

Hai Rui smiled: "Yes." In such a big case, the people who are tried can't sleep, and of course the people who try the case can't sleep. ”

Wang Yongji: "You can't sleep, can you?" ”

Hai Rui: "Not really. The case should be tried how it should be tried, and how it should be slept and how it should be slept. ”

"You can sleep." Wang Yongji sighed, "You haven't thought about it, why is the chief judge of this case Zhao Zhongcheng, and why are the two jurors you and me, the two newly transferred magistrates?" ”

Hai Rui looked at him: "There is some truth in thinking. ”

Wang Yongji lowered his voice: "Zhao Zhongcheng is a student of Xu Gelao, and you and I are the people recommended by Master Gao and Master Zhang. If you want to talk about factions, the three of us are all from Lord Yu's side! ”

Hai Rui still looked at him quietly.

Wang Yongji: "For such a big case, why would the emperor agree to use all the people of the prince to investigate?" There is only one intent. At this point he paused again.

Hai Jui: "Go on. ”

Wang Yongji stood up, walked to the bookcase, picked up a pen, wrote two words on a piece of paper, stepped back, and stretched out to Hai Rui.

Hai Rui looked at it, and there were two big characters written on the notepaper: "Downside strict"!

Hai Rui nodded, and Wang Yongji immediately opened the lantern cover beside him and lit the piece of paper, and put it in the tea bowl on his side when it was almost burned out, and then sat down again, looking at Hai Rui tightly.

Hai Rui also looked at him closely, looking like he was waiting to listen.

Wang Yongji: "But I thought again, since the emperor has this thought, the next direct will is, why bother so much to start from Zhejiang?" There are only two reasons, one is that this party is too powerful, and if they move in the imperial court, they will immediately affect the two capitals and thirteen provinces. The second is that the emperor has other scruples, and he has not yet made up his mind to defeat them. Brother Gangfeng, this kind of thing is handed over to Zhejiang and handed over to us, you and I have a huge burden on our shoulders, but we are stepping on thin ice. ”

Hai Rui obviously agreed with his opinion, and became extremely serious: "Then how are you going to bear this burden?" ”

Wang Yongji: "In a word, small things are not confused, but big things should be confused." ”

Hai Rui's eyes immediately flashed with a hint of disapproval: "What does it mean to be confused about small things, but to be confused about big things?" ”

Wang Yongji lowered his voice: "What else is there that I don't understand? How many of the things those people have done in the past 20 years have involved the palace, the emperor, and so many members of the court know it, but how can anyone ever say a word? What's more, there are so many things that only God knows! Starting from Zhejiang is to throw rats and not taboos. When it comes to 'rats', we can strictly investigate, but when it comes to 'instruments', we can't ask a word, let alone check it. ”

Hai Rui began to look at Wang Yongji with a different gaze, and he suddenly found that this kind and easy-going person still had such deep thoughts, and for a while he couldn't figure out whether he admired him spontaneously or suddenly had a trace of estrangement, and his eyes revealed this complexity.

Wang Yongji was looking into his eyes, and of course he felt his demeanor: "Don't look at me with such eyes. If we don't think like this, Zheng Michang and He Maocai will think better than us. In order to avoid crime, they will pull everything to the palace and the emperor. With this pull, the case will not be tried a word. You and I, as well as Lord Zhao, are even more difficult than Zheng Michang and He Maocai! ”

Hai Rui still looked at him tightly: "Does Zhao Zhongcheng think the same way!" ”

Wang Yongji thought for a moment: "He didn't say that when he came, but it can be expected that he thought the same way." ”

Hai Rui: "How can you be sure?" ”

Wang Yongji's gaze slowly scanned the high-end room at this time: "Now we can say our specifications." You and I are only in the position of Qipin, why would the Weaving Bureau personally come forward to arrange such a high standard for us? Don't you understand. ”

Hai Rui: "Did the Weaving Bureau meddle in this case?" ”

Wang Yongji: "Don't just meddle." The holy decree told us to confiscate Shen Yishi's family property and return it to the treasury, but the Weaving Bureau has already resold Shen Yishi's family property to other merchants. ”

"They dare!" Hai Rui stood up suddenly, and his eyes immediately flashed.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry yet." Wang Yongji motioned to Hai Rui to lower his voice, then stood up and lowered his voice even more, "Do you know who signed the contract for those merchants who bought Shen Yishi's family property?" ”

Hai Rui: "Who?" ”

Wang Yongji: "Zhao Zhongcheng! ”

Hai Rui was stunned for a moment.

Wang Yongji: "There is even more unbelievable, the businessmen who took over Shen Yishi's family property are all relatives of Hu Butang. ”

Hai Rui stared ahead with empty eyes, no expression on his face, and his body was motionless, standing there like an old monk in a fixed place.

When Wang Yongji saw him like this, he wanted to speak but stopped, so he had to stay there quietly.

A person's voice slowly came from Hai Rui's ear, it was the voice of Gao Hanwen reciting the accounts of the Weaving Bureau to him when he was leaving: "In May of the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing, the new silk was listed. In June, Nanjing, Suzhou, and Jiangnan Weaving Bureaus rushed to weave 100,000 horses of fine silk and sent them all to the Inner Court Needlework Bureau...... In July of the 39th year of Jiajing, 50,000 horses of fine silk and 100,000 horses of medium silk and 100,000 horses of high-quality chintz cloth from Songjiang were purchased with tax money from the two provinces, and they were sent to Beijing...... In October of the 39th year of Jiajing, the Weaving Bureau negotiated with the merchants of the Western Regions about the trade of 200,000 pieces of silk, equivalent to 2.2 million taels of silver, and sent them all to the key treasury of the Inner Court Division......"

Then, Hai Rui moved, paced back and forth, and read out the number that Gao Hanwen told him: "In February of the 40th year of Jiajing, he received an edict from the master of ceremonies that the silk produced in Yingtian and Zhejiang should be traded with Western merchants in that year, and all the 120,000 pieces of silk stored in the previous year were sealed, and the new silk produced this year was 500,000 horses, and the silver was escorted to the household department to make up for the shortfall......"

Wang Yongji saw that there was no one beside him, and suddenly said these earth-shattering figures, and he was stunned all of a sudden, and his eyes were wide open to look at Hai Rui.

Hai Rui's eyes gradually flashed at this time, showing a look of thinking about the formation when he heard the drums!

Wang Yongji looked at his momentum and called timidly: "Brother Gangfeng......"

"Say no more!" Hai Rui turned to look at him, "The Holy Decree is brilliant, and it is clearly stated that Shen Yishi's family property will be confiscated, and the stolen money of Zheng Michang and He Maocai will be recovered and returned to the treasury. Now the Weaving Bureau has resold Shen Yishi's family property to other businessmen, and it is also sold to Hu Butang's relatives! If this is the case, copying Shen Yishi's house is equivalent to not copying it, and recovering the stolen money is also equivalent to not chasing it. The treasury is still empty, and the greed for ink is still magnificent. Runlian, I want to investigate this matter! Do you dare to go with me to investigate? ”

Wang Yongji: "This is the contract signed by Zhao Zhongcheng, who do you want to check?" ”

Hai Jui: "Who called these merchants?" ”

Wang Yongji: "I heard that Zheng Michang and He Maocai called ......"

Hai Rui: "Then interrogate Zheng Michang and He Maocai overnight!" ”

"That's not right!" Wang Yongji was anxious, "Zhao Zhongcheng is the presiding judge, and you and I are the jurors." The case has not yet been tried, how can there be a juror to investigate the presiding judge's reasoning! ”

Hai Rui: "I'm not checking Zhao Zhongcheng, I'm checking Shen Yishi's family property and the greedy ink behind his family property!" Are you going with me or not? ”

Wang Yongji: "If I don't go, you can't go." ”

"That's good." Hai Rui waved his hand, "If you still live in your room, I will live in my room." I don't care what you do, you don't care what I do! With that, he strode to the door, opened it, and walked out.

The king was there for a long time. After thinking about it a few times and thinking about Hai Rui, he still felt that it was appropriate to report to Zhao Zhenji.

As Hai Jui said, when encountering such a big case, those who are being tried can't sleep, and those who are trying the case can't sleep. Especially Zhao Zhenji, the chief judge and governor, as soon as he arrived, he was slammed by the Weaving Bureau, and at this time, he looked forward and backward, where can he sleep peacefully. He was carefully flipping through the mountains of case files in front of the big case, thinking hard about the following matters, and Wang Yongji came, and immediately met him.

Wang Yongji, apparently in the most cautious and concise terms, told him about Hai Rui's arraignment, and then sat quietly in a chair beside him, waiting for Zhao Zhenji to stop him.

Zhao Zhenji also sat quietly in front of the case file, only revealing the head without a hat, and he couldn't see any surprise or anxiety in him.

"He's a juror and has the power to bring criminals to trial." Zhao Zhenji actually said such a sentence very calmly.

Wang Yongji was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Lord Zhongcheng, this is the Qin case of the imperial court, it seems that it should still be decided by Zhongcheng, and we will judge it." Otherwise, the lowly fear of disrupting Zhongcheng's deployment, Haizhi County will not be able to bear this responsibility. ”

Zhao Zhenji: "You have all seen the holy decree, that is the deployment." As long as the trial is done according to the will, there is no responsibility. ”

Wang Yongji stood up: "Zhongcheng, the decree is that we confiscate Shen Yishi's family property and return it to the treasury, but now it has been sold to other merchants. How do we judge according to the will? What should I do if the Weaving Bureau is involved? ”

Zhao Zhenji slowly looked at him again: "You are still an old man. Nothing wrong with what you say. But there is nothing wrong with Haizhi County arraigning the prisoner. In this way, if you are worried about involving the Weaving Bureau, go and tell Yang Gonggong. He could go and listen. ”

Wang Yongji is such a clear person, and after a reply, he has already seen that Zhao Zhenji is asking Hai Rui to poke the hornet's nest, and he is also upright: "If Zhongcheng thinks that this should be the case, then Zhongcheng should also send someone to inform Yang Gonggong." ”

This is a confrontation, but Zhao Zhenji didn't care at all: "It's okay for me to send someone to inform Gonggong Yang." Come. ”

The clerk on duty immediately came in with the call: "What do you command?" ”

Zhao Zhenji: "You immediately go to the Weaving Bureau to report to Gonggong Yang, and say that the newcomer Haizhi County went to the prison to interrogate Zheng Michang and He Mao. ”

The clerk: "Yes." ”

Zhao Zhenji asked Wang Yongji again: "Is there anything else?" ”

The king was softened by him, and after a while he replied, "There is nothing else to do with the lowly position." ”

"Then go and rest. Come here tomorrow morning to gather and listen to what happened in Haizhi County. Zhao Zhenji still said with a pleasant face.

"Yes." Wang Yongji's heart was in turmoil, so he replied and turned around and withdrew.

On the day of the ambush, the climate was hot and hot, and Yang Jinshui couldn't sleep when he lay on a red sandalwood couch. Fortunately, on each beam of the beam, there is a three-foot square "ceiling fan" woven with bamboo, a total of four, strung on a little finger-thick silk rope, the silk rope is stuck on the mahogany wheel of the beam, the rope head hangs down and is pinched by the fat eunuch, pull it one by one, four "ceiling fans" fan back and forth at the same time, the breeze is coming, isn't it happy! But Yang Jinshui still couldn't sleep, and turned over: "Come and touch, is my head a little hot?" ”

The fat eunuch immediately stood up, first went to the silver basin to wash his hands, dried them again, approached the couch, and gently touched Yang Jinshui's forehead with his hand.

"Is it hot?" Yang Jinshui asked.

Fat eunuch: "Godfather, I'm in a hurry, my son will use this hand to probe again." As he spoke, he changed his hand and lightly touched Yang Jinshui's forehead.

"Is it hot or not?" Yang Jinshui turned over and sat up.

The fat eunuch immediately took a step back and replied, "It seems to be a little hot, and it seems to be a little not hot." ”

"You're a pig!" Yang Jinshui was annoyed, "Change someone to touch it." ”

"Yes." The fat eunuch replied and left, and as soon as he reached the door, the attendant eunuch happened to walk in.

Fat eunuch: "Senior brother is here, godfather feels that his body is a little inappropriate......"

"What's wrong?" The attendant eunuch hurriedly walked over, "Godfather, shouldn't it be windy?" ”

"It's been a few days since the wind has been blowing, where is the wind going?" Yang Jinshui was very impatient.

"Yes." The attendant eunuch hurriedly glared at the fat eunuch, "Are you not aware of the severity and the fan is pulled too quickly?" ”

"Not really!" The fat eunuch came out as soon as he heard the sweat, "Godfather is here, but I am pinching the fan that I pull with a few pulses, not much at a time, not a lot at a time, and a lot ......"

Eunuch: "Come on, you go out first." ”

The fat eunuch walked out with great agility as if he had been pardoned.

Yang Jinshui knew that he had something to do: "What's the matter?" ”

The attendant eunuch picked up an ivory folding fan on the table next to the couch and unfolded it and gently fanned it to Yang Jinshui: "That Hai Rui of Chun'an Zhixian County went to the prison to interrogate Zheng Michang and He Mao. ”

"Trial is trial." Yang Jinshui begged at him, "That's it?" ”

Attendant eunuch: "He went alone." ”

"How can a person ......" Yang Jinshui also felt that something was wrong when he said this, "What about Zhao Zhongcheng?" ”

Attendant eunuch: "It was Zhao Zhongcheng who sent someone to tell his godfather." Zhao Zhongcheng said that when Hai Rui arrived at night, he didn't even see his face, so he ran to the prison alone for interrogation. ”

Yang Jinshui: "Zhao Zhongcheng won't care about him?" ”

Attendant eunuch: "Zhao Zhongcheng said that Hai Rui is also a hand-picked interrogator, and he has the right to interrogate prisoners, so it is inconvenient for him to intervene." ”

Yang Jinshui rolled his eyes: "Wow, he's using Zhong Kui to fight ghosts......"

The attendant eunuch didn't dare to answer, but just fanned lightly.

"I knew something was wrong!" Yang Jinshui suddenly turned over and walked outside without even putting on shoes, "Hurry up and find the brothers of Jinyiwei and go to the Yamen Prison!" ”

"Shoes! Godfather, you haven't put on shoes yet! The attendant eunuch hurriedly chased him out with his shoes.

History records that in the Ming Dynasty, the interrogation rooms of the yamen prison above the provincial level were all light and dark. The prisoner was arraigned in the open room outside, and the person who recorded the confession was in the dark room next door. It is said that this kind of questioning is easy to obtain confessions, and because the prisoner sees that there is no record, he will often inadvertently say what he did not want to confess. It can be seen that the judicial system of the Ming Dynasty was also full of conspiracy.

Hai Rui had an edict on his body, and he passed all the way unimpeded, and at this time he had already sat down in the interrogation room, waiting to bring Zheng Michang from prison.

Zheng Michang was still dressed in civilian clothes, and as usual, he did not bring torture equipment, and was led in by a jailer. The eyes of the two men immediately met.

Zheng Michang's eyes naturally did not have the condescending nature of being a governor at that time, but he did not have the fear and pity that the criminal reformers often had at this time, and looked at Hai Rui gloomily but calmly.

Hai Rui was originally a murderous person, but at this time, there was no due severity in his eyes, and he looked at Zheng Michang purely.

Zheng Michang's eyes lit up a little when he saw his gaze.

Hai Rui looked at the jailer: "Move a chair for the leather." ”

The jailer hurriedly moved the chair against the wall to the opposite side of the case.

Hai Rui: "Move in a little more." Don't face the big case, swing to the east. ”

The jailer was stunned for a moment, then moved his chair back and placed it facing east.

Hai Rui: "Move another chair across from it." ”

The jailer seemed to understand what Hai Rui meant, and hurriedly moved another chair from the wall and placed it opposite the chair.

"Go ahead, close the door." Hai Rui called the jailer away, and then walked over from the front of the big case, looked at Zheng Michang, and stretched out his hand to the chair on the west side: "Sit." ”

Zheng Michang looked at him and sat down.

Hai Rui still stood on the edge of the chair, did not sit down immediately, looked at the closed door on the side of the interrogation room, and said loudly: "Come here, come here and record a confession in person." ”

After a moment of silence, the door opened, and a clerk held a wooden plate with a stack of paper on which he had recorded confessions, and an inkstone and a pen came out ghostly, closed the side door, and stood there looking at Hai Jui.

Hai Jui pointed to the big case where the presiding judge was sitting: "You just sit there and record." ”

The clerk hesitated: "My lord, this is not in accordance with the rules......

"There are so many rules." Hai Rui waved his hand, "Sit down and record." ”

The clerk had no choice but to walk over to the big desk, drag the chair down, sit down next to each other, and pick up the pen.

Hai Rui sat down in front of Zheng Michang.

Zheng Michang is a Jinshi in Jiajing for 21 years. Twenty years, from the Hanlin Academy to Zhixian County, Shengzhizhou has been working for more than ten years, and he has taken refuge in Yan Shifan to become a feudal official. What rules and secrets of officialdom he doesn't know? At this time, I thought that there would be a thunderous reprimand when I was interrogated by Hai Rui, but I didn't expect that this magistrate, who dared to fight against him as a subordinate at that time, is now treated so politely when he is a messenger, and everything is in the clear, and suddenly his heart is not tasteful, and it is unnatural to sit there.

Hai Rui looked at him fixedly: "You are a leather officer, I can no longer be commensurate with my position." You have been a jinshi, but I have only been a lifter, and I can't be commensurate with my friendship. There is no conviction, and I can't call him by name. Now I ask you, and I won't call it. ”

Zheng Michang immediately felt the righteousness that this person exuded from it, and immediately realized that righteousness turned out to be just a "true" word! At this point, he was genuinely moved and replied, "Okay." ”

——The cell boss held his breath and bowed down to quietly lead the panting Yang Jinshui and the two brocade guards into the darkness.

Yang Jinshui's eyes immediately looked at the side door leading to the interrogation room, and the cell boss hurriedly walked over and gently pushed the door latch shut.

bolted the door, and the cell leader looked at Yang Jinshui and the two brocade guards.

At this time, Hai Rui's question was faintly heard from the interrogation room: "Before the holy decree came down, Shen Yishi's family property was copied by you. How much property does he have? ”

Yang Jinshui's face immediately became gloomy, and he walked straight to the chair next to the desk next to the side door to record his confession and sat down, listening attentively. Zheng Yichang's answer from over there was really much clearer: "Shen Yishi's home was copied by Gao Hanwen, I don't know very well. ”

Seeing that the two Jinyi guards were still standing there, the cell boss hurriedly walked to the wall and picked up the chair and walked towards Yang Jinshui, but the Jinyi guard waved his hand, and the cell head put the chair back in its place and quietly retreated. The other one sat down by the wall, and the other one went to close the door and sat down by the wall.

Yang Jinshui was the only one sitting by the side door of the arraignment room.

——Hai Rui saw Zheng Michang's first sentence and stubbornly shirked it, and he didn't get angry, but only said to the book: "Record it." ”

The clerk recorded it quickly.

Hai Rui: "Who ordered Gao Hanwen to copy Shen Yishi's house?" ”

Zheng Michang: "Of course, it is the order of the governor yamen and the envoy yamen. ”

Hai Jui: "Record. ”

The clerk immediately took notes.

Hai Rui: "Didn't Gao Hanwen report the results to the governor's yamen and the envoy's yamen after copying the house?" ”

Zheng Michang was silent.

Hai Jui: "Talk back." ”

Zheng Michang: "It's been reported." ”

Hai Rui: "Is it a verbal report or a written report?" ”

Zheng Michang: "It's a verbal report. ”

Hai Rui: "Did you report to the governor and the envoy?" ”

Zheng Michang's voice was much lower: "Yes." ”

Hai Jui: "Be louder. ”

Zheng Michang: "Yes." ”

Hai Jui: "Record. ”

The scrivener has been keeping records.

Hai Rui: "Gao Hanwen has confiscated Shen Yishi's family property and reported it to you and the envoy, why can't you say it just now?" ”

Zheng Michang: "Because it is a verbal report, what he said is not clear. ”

"Why did you go to copy Shen Yishi's family property!" Hai Jui raised his voice.

Zheng Michang: "Holy Decree." ”

"Ordered to raid the house, don't you want to reply to the court! Could it be that the emperor asked you about the results of the raid, and you can't tell clearly! Hai Rui finally became stern, and then addressed the book, "Record my questioning!" ”

——Yang Jinshui's body sat up straight, waiting to listen to Zheng Michang's reply below.

The two brocade guards looked at each other at this time, obviously paying attention to the question of Hai Rui next door.

——Zheng Michang slowly looked at Hai Rui: "Lord Hai asked like this, and the leather clerk naturally had nothing to say. But that's what happened at the time. It's been so long, and I'm too old to remember. ”

Hai Rui: "Do you remember what happened six days ago?" Do you remember what you personally talked to people about? ”

Zheng Michang was stunned and did not reply.

Hai Rui: "Talk back! ”

Zheng Michang: "Then you should remember. ”

Hai Jui: "For the record. ”

The clerk immediately remembered it.

Hai Rui: "Six days ago, you and He Maocai sold Shen Yishi's family property to Hui merchants, how much was Shen Yishi's family property at that time?" How did you sell to those merchants? For the record! ”

Zheng Michang was not flustered: "Lord Hai, the holy decree shouldn't have asked me about this, right?" ”

Hai Rui stared at Zheng Michang tightly at this time, and his eyes slowly flashed: "You mean that the emperor asked you to sell Shen Yishi's family property to Hui merchants!" ”

- Yang Jinshui's face was immediately uglier than that of a dead man, and he stood up and looked at the two brocade guards.

The two brocade guards were very calm at this time, sitting there motionless.

Zheng Michang's voice came from next door: "I didn't say that. ”

Yang Jinshui stood there motionless.

- Hai Jui: "How could there be a will to ask this sentence in the Holy Decree!" The holy decree told us to confiscate Shen Yishi's family property and return it to the national treasury, but you sold Shen Yishi's family property to someone else. Did the emperor know in advance that you would dare to act so boldly! ”

Zheng Michang: "The emperor naturally doesn't know about this. But we didn't take the money from the sale of Shen Yishi's family property to our own family. ”

Hai Jui: "Where have you been?" ”

Zheng Michang: "I am already a revolutionist, and Lord Hai should now ask the governor who has taken over." ”

Hai Jui: "The decree is to ask you now!" Every penny of Shen Yishi's family property must be returned to the treasury! But you sold it and couldn't hand it over, so I can go to the court now, and ask the magistrate to raid your hometown. The mansion you bought in your hometown and so many fields will be confiscated by Shen Yishi's family property and returned to the treasury. ”

Zheng Michang: "I didn't take a penny from selling Shen Yishi's family property, and the court has its own judgment." ”

Hai Rui: "That's good. Then I will go to the imperial court, and at the same time carry out the Dali Temple and the household department of the Imperial Palace, so that the imperial court has a division and a yamen to give me a clear judgment, whether Shen Yishi's family property should be recovered and returned to the treasury. ”

- It's not that I'm afraid, it's about the heat outside and the fire on the inside, Yang Jinshui's eyes suddenly darkened, and he shook up when he stood there. Jin Yiwei was so agile that he leaped silently with a single arrow and grabbed him.

Yang Jinshui's face was as white as paper, so hot and there was not a drop of sweat. The head of the brocade guard immediately stretched out his thumb and pinched his man. Yang Jinshui's eyes slowly opened. Jin Yiwei motioned for him to go.

Yang Jinshui raised a hand, forced himself to composure, and slowly sat down again.

Jin Yiwei handed a look to another Jin Yi Wei, who moved a chair and put it next to Yang Jinshui, and Jin Yiwei sat down next to him.

- Zheng Michang's face turned white at this time, and he was sweating: "Lord Hai ......"

Hai Rui: "I won't ask you. Bring the confession and let him draw it. ”

Zheng Michang: "I still have something to say......"

Hai Jui only looked at him.

Zheng Michang: "I didn't take a penny from selling Shen Yishi's family property......"

Hai Jui: "This sentence doesn't have to be recorded. Draw a charge! ”

The clerk took the confession and handed the pen to Zheng Michang.

Zheng Michang didn't answer.

Hai Rui's eyes finally showed a murderous aura: "Article 2 of the fifth paragraph of the "Da Ming Law", if the criminal does not confess to the detainee, he will stand with a staff of forty!" ”

Zheng Michang took the pen and drew on the confession, but his hand was weak.

Hai Rui said to the clerk: "Help him to the side of the case to draw a detention." ”

- When did Yang Jinshui suffer such a crime, on a dog day, the doors and windows were closed, and his heart was tumbling, but he couldn't sweat, he only felt a burst of heat, and reached out to touch it, because he never brought a fan, someone was fanning him at any time, so he didn't have a fan.

The brocade guard sitting next to him saw that they were also people who did not carry fans, not that someone fanned them for them, but that they had always been cold and heat-resistant, so he grabbed the hem of the short robe that covered his knees with his right hand and fanned it up and down, and the wind was actually stronger than a fan. Yang Jinshui cast a hint of gratitude at him.

Hai Rui's voice came from next door: "There is no seat for you here, remove the chair." ”

Yang Jinshui knew that this was the interrogation of He Maocai.

- Hai Rui had already sat back in front of the big case, and the clerk moved to the side of the big case to sit and record.

He Maocai was there like a pestle, and that breath suddenly came out: "Lord Hai, Zhao Zhongcheng has a chair for me." Zheng Michang also had a chair just now, for the same case, why did you let me stand on trial? ”

Hai Jui: "With your many evils, you are full of evil!" ”

He Maocai's face changed: "The holy decree didn't say this about me, what evidence does Lord Hai have to slander me like this?" ”

Hai Rui: "Let me ask you, how did the embankments in the nine counties of Xin'an River burst at the same time in May this year! ”

He Mao was taken aback, but quickly gritted his teeth: "At that time, there were governors and political envoys above, and the river yamen was not under my control, how do I know?" ”

Hai Rui: "But before the embankment was broken, the entire embankment was filled with soldiers sent by your Yamen!" How do you explain that? Documented. ”

The scrivener took notes quickly.

He Maocai was asked, and after a while, he immediately argued: "The above told me to send troops, of course I will send troops." ”

Hai Rui: "Who are you talking about?" ”

He Maocai was asked again.

Hai Rui: "Talk back! ”

He Maocai couldn't hide, and replied: "Whoever is in charge of the river yamen is the one above who is in charge." ”

Hai Rui: "The supervision of the river yamen is Li Xuan of the palace faction, and Li Xuan is temporarily under the management of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau. Is this the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau you are talking about? Documented. ”

- This time, not only Yang Jinshui's face changed, but also the faces of the two brocade guards.

Yang Jinshui couldn't hold it anymore, and was about to stand up holding on to the handle of the chair, but Jin Yiwei gently pressed him.

Yang Jinshui made a gesture for them to intervene, and Jin Yiwei leaned close to his ear and said in a breathy voice, "He has a holy decree." ”

Yang Jinshui's eyes suddenly went blank, and he sat there stunned.

——Where did He Maocai dare to reply to this, he stood there with his head down and said nothing.

Hai Rui: "You don't dare to reply?" Then he turned to the clerk's office: "Then record my words." ”

The clerk had been carrying the pen all the time, and then he focused on it.

Hai Rui: "According to investigation, Ma Ningyuan, the former prefect of Hangzhou, Chang Boxi of Chun'an Zhi County, and Zhang Zhiliang of Jiande Zhi County took the officers and soldiers of your Yamen to guard every gate in nine counties before the arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival. It was only at this time that the officers and soldiers of Hu Butang and Qi Jiguang rushed to the embankment and divided the flood in Chun'an and Jiande. Overnight, the entire Chun'an and half of Jiande were all in the flood, more than 3,000 people died, and more than 300,000 were homeless! Your iniquity, the iniquity of those behind you, is like a flood! I won't judge you, the court won't judge you, and God will accept you! Take in those behind you! ”

Speaking of which, Hai Rui's voice from his chest was like Huang Zhong Da Lu, buzzing throughout the room!

The clerk of the record trembled a little, and tried his best to write it down.

He Maocai's head was lowered even lower, and his chest and abdomen were panting.

Hai Rui: "Let me ask you, are you doing this so that the people can sell their fields to Shen Yishi!" ”

He Maocai raised his head: "Shen, Shen Yishi is an errand for the Weaving Bureau, if you have the ability, you can ask the Weaving Bureau!" ”

Hai Rui finally forced out his words, and immediately said to the book: "Record!" ”

- The brocade guard stood up and walked towards the door, and the other brocade guard also stood up, opened the door, and the two strode out.

Yang Jinshui sat on the chair at this time and was stunned.

There was a knock on the door, and Hai Rui's eyes flashed, and he slowly looked at the door.

The bookstore turned his head to look at Hai Rui, who seemed to have expected it, and said to the bookstore: "Open the door." ”

The clerk hurriedly walked over, opened the door, and immediately flashed to the side and bent down. Jin Yiwei slowly walked in with another Jin Yiwei.

Hai Rui also slowly stood up.

Jin Yiwei arched his hand to Hai Rui: "May I ask if it is Haizhi County?" ”

Hai Rui: "I am." Ask me about the price. ”

Jin Yiwei took out the waist card from his waist and lit it up: "Beizhen Fusi, I will send an edict to Zhao Zhongcheng, Haizhi County, Wang Zhixian to handle the case together." ”

Hai Jui: "Okay, please take a seat, and we'll interrogate the prisoner together." ”

Jin Yiwei: "There will be no trial tonight." The presiding judge, Zhao Zhongcheng, has made arrangements, and tomorrow morning we will interrogate the prisoners together. As he spoke, he bowed his head to the other brocade guard.

The brocade guard said to He Maocai: "You go." ”

"Slow." Hai Rui stopped He Maocai, "Draw a charge." ”

The brocade guard still motioned for He Maocai to leave, and He Maocai walked towards the door.

"Stop!" Hai Rui stopped him, "I'm ordered to try the case, draw a detention!" ”

The clerk had no choice but to walk over with a confession and a pen and hand it to He Maocai.

He Maocai looked at the two brocade guards again, and the two brocade guards were not easy to speak.

He Maocai had no choice but to take the strokes.

It seems to have been expected, it was already the middle of the night, and Zhao Zhenji was still in front of the mountain of case files, not so much reviewing the case files, but waiting for Yang Jinshui.

Yang Jinshui walked in with one arm on the other side of the Jinyi guard, followed by another Jinyi guard.

Zhao Zhenji stood up and greeted him: "It's all this time, what can't you say tomorrow?" Have a seat. ”

Yang Jinshui was hugged and sat down, the two brocade guards also sat down, and Zhao Zhenji was still standing in the middle of the signing room.

Jin Yiwei on the other side: "Lord Zhao, please sit down too." ”

Zhao Zhenji: "After sitting for a long time, stand for a while." If you have something to say, please say it. ”

Yang Jinshui looked at him: "Zhao Zhongcheng, Lord Zhao, can you give the court a relief tonight?" ”

Zhao Zhenji: "What's the sparse?" ”

Yang Jinshui: "That Hai Rui can't participate in the trial of this case. ”

Zhao Zhenji pondered for a moment: "Why? ”

Yang Jinshui: "Let him participate again, and the entire Ming Dynasty will be disturbed by him!" ”

Zhao Zhenji sat down at this time: "What did he do?" Father-in-law Yang told me. ”

Yang Jinshui: "I tried the case privately, and I intentionally pulled the case to the palace!" You transfer the case file he tried tonight to see, he is not trying Zheng Bichang and He Maocai, he is trying the Weaving Bureau and the affairs in the palace! ”

Zhao Zhenji pondered for a moment: "I can transfer the case file tomorrow to read." ”

"Can't wait for tomorrow!" Yang Jinshui was particularly arrogant at this time, "You have to go up immediately tonight and remove him from his position as a juror." ”

"I can't." Zhao Zhenji immediately denied him, "I, Hai Rui, and Wang Yongji are all interrogators appointed by the emperor. Unless they are biased or corrupt for personal gain, I can only participate. At this time, I have no reason to participate in him. So many people in the court, as well as King Yu, would not agree. ”

These words were loud, and Yang Jinshui was held there for a long time before slowly looking at the two brocade guards.

Jin Yiwei on the other side: "Gonggong Yang, what Zhao Zhongcheng said is reasonable." ”

"Then let him go on like this!" Yang Jinshui propped up his chair and stood up, "It has stirred up the head of the old ancestor, and even the emperor, is it you who is guilty or I am guilty!" At this point, he was already gasping for air.

Zhao Zhenji and the two brocade guards were silent.

Yang Jinshui: "I am the emperor, a dog sent to Zhejiang by my ancestors!" I can't stand this home! Zhao Zhenji, are you sparse? ”

Zhao Zhenji was surprisingly calm: "In this case, Gonggong Yang, you can also go to the sparse." ”

One sentence held Yang Jinshui there again, and suddenly his eyes turned black again, and he immediately sat down in a chair.

This time, it was another brocade guard who passed by and held him up.

Jin Yiwei also gave Zhao Zhenji a look, signaling to stop arguing.

Zhao Zhenji: "Father-in-law Yang is unwell, so let's go back to the house and rest first." ”

Yang Jinshui's eyes were half-open and half-closed: "It's okay if you don't join Hai Rui...... Then ask Zheng Michang and He Maocai to see the king of Hades......"

Zhao Zhenji's eyes flashed, and the two brocade guards also glanced at each other quickly.

Yang Jinshui gasped: "These two calamities can't be left any longer, and if they are kept any longer, they will blaspheme the emperor's holy name!" Can't stay...... They can't be kept any longer...... Let them cut themselves off in prison......" At this point, he looked at Zhao Zhenji and the two Jinyi guards with a dazed gaze.

This is already sick, Jin Yiwei and Zhao Zhenji exchanged a look, and then went over and half-hugged Yang Jinshui: "Father-in-law, don't worry, we know what to do." You just go back and rest when you get old. ”

Yang Jinshui looked at him dizzily: "It's a big deal...... Emperor...... Remember the emperor's ......"

Jin Yiwei: "Remember." ”

Yang Jinshui: "Tonight...... Just tonight, to remember......"

Jin Yiwei: "Remember." Answered, he looked at Zhao Zhenji again: "Arrange for someone to send your father-in-law back." ”

Zhao Zhenji nodded: "Someone." ”

The clerk on duty immediately came in.

Zhao Zhenji: "Use a soft sedan chair to send Yang Gonggong back to the Weaving Bureau." ”

Duty clerk: "Yes. He replied and immediately went over and bowed down, and the brocade guard held Yang Jinshui on his back.

The clerk on duty walked out with Yang Jinshui on his back.

The two brocade guards stayed behind and looked at Zhao Zhenji together.

Zhao Zhenji also looked at them: "Two Qincha, what do you say?" ”

Jin Yiwei: "It's difficult." ”

Zhao Zhenji: "If it's difficult, you have to do it." The two of you were sent directly from the palace, and you have experience in doing such things, so you should make an idea for me. ”

Jin Yiwei: "Zheng Michang and He Mao can't stay." ”

Zhao Zhenji: "Kill him?" ”

Jin Yiwei on the other side: "Who dares to kill two such big Qin criminals." What I said can't stay is that I can't stay in Zhejiang. ”

Zhao Zhenji looked at him.

Jin Yiwei on the other side: "Zhao Zhongcheng ordered a team of soldiers, and we also sent two brothers to send them to Beijing overnight." ”

Zhao Zhenji thought about it again and resolutely replied, "I can't do this." The holy decree was to judge them, but not to send them to the king. ”

Jin Yiwei on the other side: "Then if there is really the result that Yang Gonggong is worried about, Lord Zhao, we won't be able to make a difference at that time." ”

Zhao Zhenji: "I can detain them in another place and not interrogate them for a few days." The two of them can immediately report the situation to the palace. If the imperial court has a will, I can send them to Beijing. ”

The two Jinyi guards discussed for a moment with their eyes, and the Jinyi guards said: "That's good." We'll send it to the palace tonight. Lord Zhao couldn't let that Hai Rui interrogate the prisoner again. ”

went out well, but was carried back, and for a while the attendant eunuch and the four eunuchs came, carrying Yang Jinshui flat from the soft sedan chair, and moving it to the red sandalwood couch step by step.

The fat eunuch immediately walked to the end of the ceiling fan rope again, pulled up the rope, and the four ceiling fans fanned.

"Wind!" Yang Jinshui lay on the couch and opened his eyes, and strangely only said this one word, "Wind, wind......"

The fat eunuch sped up his movements, and the wind from the four ceiling fans became stronger.

Yang Jinshui's eyes were so wide open, but he couldn't say anything else, he still only said: "Feng ......"

The attendant eunuch immediately understood, and said to the fat eunuch: "Stop!" Godfather is afraid of the wind. ”

The fat eunuch hurriedly let go, and sure enough, Yang Jin was calmer.

Eunuch Gao whispered in the ear of the attendant eunuch: "Senior brother, please Langzhong, right?" ”

Yang Jinshui heard this sentence, and after hearing it, he could say it himself: "Do you want me to die?" ”

Several eunuchs were stunned, frightened and speechless. It was the entourage eunuch who leaned over: "Godfather, the sons all want you to live a hundred years old." ”

Yang Jinshui looked upwards with his eyes: "I want to drag me in to die, but I can't die!" ”

Several eunuchs looked at each other, and then they all looked at the eunuchs who followed them.

The eunuch who followed him saw that he was a little delirious, and leaned in and said in a mantra-like tone, "I think that the one who died of us has not yet been born." Our godfather is the ancestor of the people, the people of the long live lord, the gods take care of it, and they are not afraid. ”

Yang Jinshui's eyes slowly moved from above to look at the entourage eunuchs, and he was very appreciative: "Well said!" Also, you are my protector general. And them, they are all general officers! ”

It's crazy. Several eunuchs were scared and a little excited, and nodded one after another: "Godfather is right!" We are all generals escorted by godfathers. ”

The attendant eunuch pressed to his ear: "Godfather, with our escort, you can sleep peacefully when you are old." Good no good? ”

Yang Jinshui seemed to be nodding, and his eyes slowly closed.

The four eunuchs had no idea, and they didn't dare to leave, so they all looked at the eunuchs who followed them.

The attendant eunuch beckoned to them and crept to the door, where all four eunuchs walked like cats.

The attendant eunuch whispered to the tall eunuch very softly: "You, immediately go to the hall and invite Dr. Chen." ”

The tall eunuch nodded, and disappeared outside the door in a few steps.

The attendant eunuch looked at the other three eunuchs again, and did not speak again, but just looked at one person pointing to one place, and then at another person pointing to another.

The three eunuchs crept to the place he had appointed and stood up.

The attendant eunuch walked to Yang Jinshui's couch and sat down on the red sandalwood stool under the big couch.

Before dawn, it was unusually dark outside, and it was hot for several days, when the wind blew in from outside the door and through the window.
