Xijiang Rice Lane, today's Metropolitan Procuratorate has a new look.

Since Wang Yue became the owner, in addition to setting up a search hall, a brand new cell has also been built in the back. This cell is not large, but it is heavily guarded, and it will become the home of the court prisoners or generals.

Wang Yue was not limited to the upgrading of hardware facilities, but also carried out a large-scale purge of the personnel of the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Ministries are both Zheng Erpin Yamen, and the Imperial History of Zuodu can be said to be on an equal footing with the Six Shangshu, but there are not many officials serving in Beijing.

The Ming Dynasty followed the Yuan system, and set up the Imperial Historical Observatory as the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The chief of the Metropolitan Inspectorate is the left and right imperial history, and there are deputy imperial history and imperial history, and the three capitals and thirteen roads are divided into supervision and patrol.

Usually, the left capital imperial history, the left deputy capital imperial history, and the left capital imperial history stay in the capital headquarters, while important officials such as the right capital imperial history of the metropolitan procuratorate will be arranged to serve as governors or governors in the local area, and the supervision of the imperial history and the patrol will stay in the local area for many years.

Before Wang Yue arrived, there was only one high-ranking official in the headquarters of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Bian Yong, the left deputy capital imperial history, and the post of the left imperial history was vacant, and Wu Jun, the left imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was sick and at home for many years.

After Wang Yue arrived, the first thing he did was to deal with Wu Jun, the imperial history of Zuo Yandu, and personally wrote a recital listing Wu Jun's old age and inaction, and asked the imperial court to order Wu Jun to be a minister.

Although Wu Jun defended himself, and some officials proposed that Wu Jun be transferred to Nanjing for retirement, Zhu Youzhu directly agreed to Wang Yue's request.

After Wang Yue solved the problem of Wu Jun, the imperial history of Zuo Yushi, he directly pointed the finger at the dozens of scribes and dozens of officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Although there are not many officials in the main department, it is the central imperial history after all, and many affairs will be gathered in the metropolitan inspection, so there are many scribes and yachas.

When Wang Yue learned that the concierge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate turned out to be the distant nephew of a certain big man, he directly kicked out all the related households regardless of whether there were many or few people here, and replaced them with some honest and capable personnel.

He did not believe in the way of appointing people without cronyism, but he knew that he was a thorn in the side of the civil official group, and now the Metropolitan Procuratorate wanted to stand on the opposite side of the civilian official group, so he decided to make the Metropolitan Procuratorate his own territory.

There were some honest soldiers who accompanied him to Beijing this time, plus Gou Huowang and a group of villagers who followed him first, and he was all arranged to serve in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Although the yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is indeed an errand at the bottom, after all, it is the yamen of the second grade of the Ming Dynasty, and it is actually content with the soldiers and villagers from the bottom.

It's just that no one thought that after such a purge by Wang Yue, Ma Shu was still poisoned in the newly built prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate was still infiltrated by unknown forces.

"Quick! Go and call Doctor Li over! When he saw Ma Shu rolling on the floor of the cell, the cell boss Gou Huowang shouted loudly in panic.

He was a stove household, and he was even forced to wander around for a time, and now he finally has such a good errand in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but he doesn't want to lose it at all.

Yes......

Ma Shu's face was hideous and terrifying, he kept rolling on the ground, there were bursts of colic in his stomach, and there was a feeling of paralysis on his body, but he yelled in pain.

When Yu Guang saw the bowl of soup on the ground, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth. It's just that it's already late, and although he thinks the soup tastes a little weird just now, he still drinks some.

"You can't die! If you're dead, I'm going to fuck off before I'm in the cell head! Gou Huowang had already opened the cell and rushed in, and when he saw Ma Shu's appearance, he looked anxious and shocked.

"Cell boss, he should have been poisoned, we have to find a way to make him vomit out all the things he ate in his stomach!" A young yacha is from the capital, and he reminded with some insight.

Gou Huowang patted his thigh, and when he hurriedly walked outside, he didn't come back with a bowl of things and said, "Quick, drink this!" ”

Ma Shu also had a strong desire to survive, thinking of his house's wealth and beautiful concubines, he drank it no matter what he brought.

Vomit......

Ma Shu only felt that the taste of this bowl of things was fishy and bitter, but the effect was immediate, and he vomited out the bitter water and food residues that he had drunk in his stomach.

There was a lot of movement here, and it soon attracted Bian Yong, the deputy capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who was greatly annoyed when he learned of the situation. It's just that when he saw that Ma Shu was not lying straight, his eyes seemed to flash with a touch of disappointment.

"Fortunately, you made him vomit quickly, otherwise the old man would have no skills to recover!" An old man with white hair said a word of approval after taking the pulse.

Gou Huowang's hanging heart finally fell, and he said respectfully: "Look at what you said, I heard that you are the best doctor in the whole capital to cure poison, even if we don't toss around, you must be cured!" ”

"I can't say that, this time I have a small amount of broken intestines, otherwise it will be useless for the gods to come!" Lao Langzhong did not brag, and seemed to be very serious about pointing out the stakes.

When Gou Huowang heard this, he had no bottom in his heart.

After all, he felt that he was lucky to survive this time, but he was sure that someone would drop a more powerful poison next time, so his position as the head of the cell would also be unsafe.

"Boss, you have to be careful! This kind of broken intestine powder is very toxic, and the silver target cannot be detected, so this is a master of using poison! Li Laolang saw Gou Huowang's worry, but he handed over the prescription and admonished.

When Gou Huowang took the prescription, he complained to Ma Shu in the cell: "If you have anything, you can save your life, and I can also keep the errand of the cell leader, how good is this?" ”

Ma Shu is not a stupid person, this time it is a fluke to pick up a small life.

He had just realized that the smell of the fish soup was wrong, so he just took a small sip and made himself vomit with this cell, otherwise his own life would really be confessed here.

It was clear that those people were not going to take him out of here, but wanted him to stay here forever.

The news of Ma Shu's poisoning in the Metropolitan Procuratorate spread, causing the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate to become panicked, and the left deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yushi Bian Yong, has already begun to investigate the matter.

Although the meals in the cell are handled by their own people, the number of personnel in the Metropolitan Procuratorate has increased dramatically, and the Special Search and Inspection Department has added a large number of people, and it is now very troublesome to investigate.

Wang Yu was in charge of tracking Zhu Ji recently, but he still found nothing, and when he returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and learned that there was a "fire in the backyard", he hurriedly found his grandfather.

The main hall of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, in the signing room.

Wang Yue is a very pragmatic official, and now he is sitting in the position of the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he also wants to make some achievements for the Ming Dynasty.

He knows very well that the corruption of local officials is still serious, Yangzhou officialdom is definitely not an isolated case, and the officialdom situation in Jingshan County is the norm, so the local officialdom needs to be rectified like Yanzheng.

What's more, now that the problem of Beijing's debt has been exposed, I am afraid that the local officials will kill more than half of them, and now they are afraid that the Metropolitan Procuratorate will have to shoulder this mission.

It is precisely because of this, in addition to completing the errands handed over by the emperor, he also began to focus on the locality, but he started from the local governor, the governor and the supervision of the imperial history.

Thanks to the favor of the current emperor, the emperor has agreed that he will begin to investigate all the local imperial histories, and that he can dismiss those who are not in charge.

"Grandpa, did you listen to me?" Wang Yu was a jealous young man, and he crackled a lot in front of Wang Yue, and then asked reflexively.

Wang Yue found that there were no more deleted Jiangxi Supervision Imperial History, but he had been listening to his grandson talk about poisoning, so he raised his head lightly and asked, "Who do you suspect?" ”

"Grandpa, almost all the people up and down the Metropolitan Procuratorate are the people we just settled, so Bian Yong is the most suspicious!" Wang Yu knew that the matter was sensitive, so he immediately lowered his voice and speculated.

When Wang Yue heard this object of suspicion, he shook his head slightly: "Do you think that grandpa can't move him, so you suspect that he instructed him?" ”

Bian Yong was originally a child of a military family, but fortunately, his father Bian Yong was a senior high school scholar in the orthodox ten-year period, so the Bian family took off his military status and became an official eunuch.

Bian Yong was not able to be as famous as his father, and he was promoted to the ranks.

In the first plough court in Chenghua with a record of meritorious service, promoted to the right of the Nanjing General Administration, many years later served as the governor of Shanxi, last year Ding Father was worried about the end of the imperial court ordered the Imperial Court to be the left deputy capital of the imperial history.

It's just that as a person, he can live in the Imperial History of the Left Deputy Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and his father has been an official in Beijing for decades, which inevitably makes people suspect that there is a mysterious force behind him.

Wang Yue actually wanted to clean up Bian Yong out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but Bian Yong had no obvious fault after all, and he was an official of the Zhengsanpin Imperial Court, so there was no reason to send people away arbitrarily.

"Grandpa, don't you think he's suspicious?" Wang Yu still suspected that the poisoning was planned by Bian Yong, and asked seriously.

Wang Yue knew that his grandson had some prejudice against Bian Yong, so he put down the list of clean-up personnel of the local imperial history, picked up the tea cup on the table and shook his head gently: "The poisoning has nothing to do with him!" ”

"Grandpa, now that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is almost under our control, and only he has the ability to do this, who else can he have?" Wang Yu's logic was very clear, so he asked seriously.

Wang Yue found that his grandson was actually a little smart, and after taking a sip of tea, he smiled slightly: "You have been with me for so long, can't you see that this is actually a game?" ”

"Grandpa, what's the bureau? Who set up the bureau? Wang Yu looked at his grandfather, who was not nervous at all, and asked in confusion.

As soon as the words fell, a figure hurriedly broke in, but saw Gou Huowang said excitedly: "My lord, my lord, he is willing to recruit, he just said that he wants to see you!" ”

"Recruit, who recruited?" Wang Yu saw Gou Huowang who broke in, and asked even more confusedly.

There was still excitement on Gou Huowang's face, but he suddenly turned his head to look at Wang Yu suspiciously.

Wang Yue's hanging heart was also relaxed, but he still kept calm and ordered: "You lead Hu Jun over first, Hu Jun knows how to deal with it!" ”

"Good!" Gou Huowang knew that the adult in front of him had no last resort, so he turned around excitedly and left.

"Grandpa, what task did you assign to Hu Jun? What kind of medicine do you sell in your gourd? Wang Yu has always followed Hu Jun on errands, but this time he separated from his grandfather, and now the whole portrait is in the clouds.

Wang Yue found that he seemed to overestimate his grandson, so he held the teacup and said lightly: "I told you before: this court is like a marching army!" The art of war is divided into positive and odd, if it is not possible to use the right, then it can be a miracle! ”

"Is it a miracle to use the right one? Grandpa, are you talking about the use of poison ......" Wang Yu finally reacted and looked at his grandfather with understanding.

Wang Yue took another sip of tea, and then nodded lightly: "Yes, this poison was actually cast by me." More precisely, this is not actually poisoning, but a medicine that can make people have stomach aches and paralysis! ”

"Grandpa, why did you do that?" Wang Yu's brows furrowed, but he didn't understand the mystery.

Wang Yue put down the teacup in his hand and talked eloquently: "Our enemy is not an ordinary person, we can't wait for him to do it before we get tired of dealing with it, we can also strike first." In fact, we all know very well that Ma Shu is just a pawn! Since he is a pawn, it is nothing more than two destinies: one is to be rescued from here, and the other is to never be able to open his mouth. About this, presumably Ma Shu already knows it, so I want to force Ma Shu to choose the third way! ”

"We poisoned Ma Shu, Ma Shu will mistakenly think that the people over there want to kill him, then he may confess to the people behind him to save his life!" Wang Yu suddenly reacted and said with a look of understanding.

Wang Yue found that his grandson did have some talent, so he nodded lightly: "Not bad!" Ma Shu was born in the family of the eunuch, he has been greedy for pleasure since he was a child, I believe that it is impossible for him to choose one person to carry everything, and he is even more unwilling to be wiped out by the forces of loyalty! His most desired outcome is to be fished out, but if anyone wants him to die, he must be bitten everywhere! ”

"I see, grandpa's methods are really clever!" When Wang Yu learned the whole story, he couldn't help but admire his grandfather's strategy.

Since his grandfather recovered from Jingshan County, he has been following his grandfather, and he can be regarded as truly seeing his grandfather's various unbelievable schemes.

Whether it was the initial sound in Wuchang, or the knocking on the mountain and the tiger in Yangzhou, or the step by step in the war in Annan, his grandfather was simply a military god.

Now back in the capital, facing this very difficult case, facing Ma Shu who refuses to confess whether he lives or dies, who would have thought that his grandfather would dare to poison the prisoners he imprisoned?

Although his grandfather's methods this time were disgraceful, the effect was undoubtedly immediate, and the brocade-clothed guard seemed to be really about to speak.

Hu Jun negotiated with Ma Shu in advance according to Wang Yue's previous explanation, but he conveyed to Ma Shu that Wang Yue was not in a hurry, and made sure that Ma Shu did not put forward unreasonable conditions before bringing people here.

Wang Yue is more like an experienced fishing master, even if he sees that Ma Shu has bitten the fish, he slowly retracts the fishing line.

"The lowly investigation committee tried to cheat on the case, and this person is the top boss of the lowly position, Jin Yiwei and Yang Han!" After Ma Shu received the promise that he could save his life, he even confessed.

Now that he has officially confessed, Ma Shu is no longer a suspect, but an accomplice who was instructed by Yang Han, a fellow knowledge of Jinyiwei, to deliberately target important ministers of the imperial court.

Wang Yue saw Ma Shu signing and drawing, and ordered Gou Huowang seriously: "You take people down to take care of them, and pay special attention to your daily meals!" ”

Although he has made the Metropolitan Procuratorate his own territory, he is not sure that there are still miscellaneous fish in it, so he does not dare to take it lightly.

"Yes!" Gou Huowang knew that everything he had was given by Wang Yue, and he looked respectful and authentic.

Wang Yu saw Ma Shu leaving, his eyes flashed and he asked excitedly: "Grandpa, are we going to Beizhen Fusi to catch that bastard now?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? If it weren't for His Majesty's will, would we be able to break through the Beizhen Fusi? Wang Yue's brows furrowed, and he immediately preached with a straight face.

Not to mention that this time is to arrest the second in command of Jinyiwei, even if you want to arrest Jinyiwei, if you don't have a will, you can't just take people.

After all, the Jinyi Guard is the emperor's personal guard, and they can catch it if they want to.

Wang Yu's mind didn't seem to turn a corner, but he asked in confusion: "Then what should I do?" ”

"Wang Yu, are you stupid? This kind of thing is naturally to enter the palace to ask the emperor! Hu Jun had been standing by and listening, but he couldn't help but interject.

Wang Yue glanced at Hu Jun approvingly, and said very seriously: "Your grandfather has indeed made some achievements in the local area, but in fact, it is inseparable from the support of the emperor, do you think there is a local official in this dynasty who can hold the sword of Shang Fang?" Now we have just returned to Beijing, and Your Majesty has always been gracious, and we can't even think about this kind of unruly thing in the future! ”

"Remember, grandson!" Wang Yu realized his mistake and expressed his position in a proper manner.

Wang Yue's mood was actually good, looking at the confession in his hand, he immediately prepared to enter the palace to face the saint.

Now that he has caught the handle of Jinyiwei and Yang Han, he can ask the emperor for instructions to arrest people, and then he will have the opportunity to track down Zhu Ji's body.

Zhu Ji was born in a hereditary Jinyi Qianhu, although he was insulted by Yu Qian in his early years, but he was reinstated as an official in the Chenghua Dynasty, and soon became the second-in-command of Jinyiwei.

Now that Zhu Ji has been in charge of Jinyiwei for more than ten years, he must have become a core member of that mysterious force. Once Zhu Ji's mouth can be pried open, then all problems can be solved.
