Chapter 157: Rumors Spread
Listening to what Father-in-law Cao said, Jiang Zhenting frowned: "What does Father-in-law Cao mean by this, I don't understand it very well." ”
"Although the slave is alleged, it is also for Jiang to lead the good, and the light of implication in this matter is far beyond imagination."
"The minion hopes that Commander Jiang will think twice before dealing with this matter."
Gonggong Cao said expressionlessly.
"In this way, Gonggong Cao hopes that he can turn a blind eye to some things?"
Jiang Zhenting instantly understood that perhaps Gonggong Cao was also inextricably linked to this matter in the past.
Now, the matter has been revealed, and he is afraid that Xu Jing will find out, so he finds himself privately, hoping to get a positive answer from his mouth.
"If this is the case, I am afraid that it will be difficult to obey the fate of the people. Jiang Zhenting didn't know anything else, but knew that since it was His Majesty's order, it would be carried out without discount. ”
"If Father-in-law Cao is really implicated, please also ask Father-in-law Cao to find out with His Majesty as soon as possible. At the same time, you can plead for Gonggong Cao one or two. ”
Jiang Zhenting said with a cold face and extremely calm.
"You still don't understand, this matter is widely implicated in the government and the opposition! The minions did not want Commander Jiang to turn a blind eye to those, but chose not to press the table, and wait until the time came to discuss it privately with His Majesty. ”
"Otherwise, the people who want to be beheaded will probably affect tens of thousands of people! There are even more royal relatives among them! ”
"Could it be that Jiang Zhenting wants to cause His Majesty to betray his relatives and leave the country?"
Gonggong Cao shook his head, smiled slightly, and said part of what he knew.
"Father-in-law Cao is saying that the Lin family is also involved in this matter?"
Jiang Zhenting's eyes widened in disbelief.
He could not have imagined that such a case would involve so many court officials.
"It's enough to talk about it here, and you can't talk about it outside! If it is revealed at this time, His Majesty will really be in a dilemma. ”
Gonggong Cao lowered his voice and hinted.
Jiang Zhenting's face was embarrassed and hesitant.
"I believe that I am not the only one investigating this matter, who is the other person?"
After a long time, Jiang Zhenting asked again about another person who was handling the case with him.
According to Xu Jing's preference, it is absolutely impossible for him to be the only military attache in handling this kind of matter, and there will inevitably be a civilian official to assist.
"The other is Lord Xu Sen Xu, who is still the secretary of the book. The minions would talk about it again. ”
"Now, what the minions want to know is Commander Jiang's opinion."
Gonggong Cao stared at Jiang Zhenting and said word by word.
"It's okay, but I'm not going to hide it from anyone. When I confess in private, no matter who is involved, as long as it is involved, I will tell them one by one. ”
Jiang Zhenting agreed that Gonggong Cao would only tell Xu Jing everything in private.
"This is Commander Jiang's choice, the minions have no right to interfere, as long as they come here, it is enough."
Gonggong Cao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile.
"So, I will take my leave."
Jiang Zhenting turned around and left thoughtfully.
The reason why Jiang Zhenting agreed to Cao's conditions was not only because he didn't want the Lin family to be ugly for the royal family, but also because he was worried.
After all, if the Lin family is really too deeply involved, if they say it above the court, Xu Jing wants to show mercy, and the hundred officials will definitely not agree.
At that time, the Lin family was bound to become the bloody example of killing chickens and monkeys, and Fang He was likely to be unable to escape death.
"I hope the Lin family is not too involved, otherwise I will definitely find a way to send Miss Lin out of the capital."
Jiang Zhenting shook his head to dispel those thoughts from his mind and strode away from this place.
Early the next morning, all the officials inside and outside the capital had already learned of one thing - the few people who died in the assassination in the capital were the representatives of the Governor of Annam, who came to impeach him!
"Did you hear that? It is said that the few who died in the capital are not small! ”
"It's rumored, but it's the subordinates of the Governor of Annam! It is said that a big case was stabbed! ”
......
This boundless gossip is the easiest to spread in the mixed capital of three religions and nine streams.
However, in just one morning, the entire capital was full of storms about this matter.
"Your Majesty, you are awake. Jing Zhaoyi came to ask for a meeting, do you want to see it? ”
After the maid waited for Xu Jing to change clothes and wash, Xu Jing had just walked out of the door, and Father-in-law Cao, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward quickly.
"Jing Zhaoyi? Hasn't this matter been handed over to Jinyiwei? And what happened to Jingzhao Yin Mansion? ”
Xu Jing frowned slightly, and was deeply puzzled by Jing Zhaoyi's request to see him.
"I heard that I found out something, so I came to ask for a meeting. If His Majesty doesn't want to see him, Nan Slave will let him go back. ”
Gonggong Cao whispered.
"No, let him in."
Xu Jing waved his hand and said casually.
Not long after, Xu Jing walked into the Xizheng Hall with his front foot, and Jing Zhaoyi rushed into it with his back foot: "See Your Majesty!" ”
"What is the reason for this visit?"
Xu Jing glanced at the visitor and asked lightly.
"The minions are here just to inform about something."
Jing Zhaoyi knelt in front of Xu Jing and said cautiously.
"Let's see."
Xu Jing pursed his lips and gestured.
"These are the cases that the minister has handled over the years. Please also ask Your Majesty to take a look. ”
As he spoke, Jing Zhaoyi handed over a file.
Xu Jing took the file and flipped through it, and every word written in it made Xu Jing's face cold.
"What are these things?"
Xu Jing asked with a cold face.
"There are those in the first three years, and there are those in the last three years, and the most recent case was in mid-May last year."
Jing Zhaoyi replied cautiously.
"Why are you turning it in now? Why didn't you say it before? ”
Xu Jing had a cold face, slammed the file on the ground, and between his words, there was a faint anger about to explode.
Jing Zhaoyi trembled, lowered his head and replied loudly: "The minister didn't say it, but the minister reported it several times and was rejected!" ”
"Prime Minister Xiao ordered this official to reveal this matter and not mention it again!"
Listening to what Jing Zhaoyi said, the corner of Xu Jing's mouth sneered even more: "Why do you bring up the old thing again now?" ”
"Do you want to be promoted, or do you want to win my favor?"
Jing Zhaoyi was looked directly at by Xu Jing, and he was covered in cold sweat as if he was walking on the edge of hell, and every decision needed to be carefully considered.
"Speak!"
Under Xu Jing's strong pressure, Jing Zhaoyi's head was blank and he didn't speak for a long time.
Xu Jing drank coldly, interrupting his thoughts and ordering.
The minister also noticed the clues from the recent case, and only then did he know that this matter was widely implicated. Only then did I remember to inform Your Majesty about this matter, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins! ”
Jing Zhaoyi said tremblingly.
"If there is any evidence, don't hide it, take it all out."
Xu Jing sneered and asked.
"No, but the minister found out that the addresses in these cases are from the same place. It's a royal temple! ”
Jing Zhaoyi then cautiously continued.
"That's enough, you don't have to worry about this matter, I have my own decision. You go back and wait for the news. ”
Xu Jing interrupted Jing Zhaoyi's words and said coldly.
