Chapter 023: Wrestling
"Father-in-law, a secret letter was sent from the imperial city, saying that it was Wang Baoquan, the left attendant, who was kicked in public by the prince and seriously injured, and is now imprisoned in the edict.
As soon as Jia Gongwang's words fell, Yizi Dugucheng continued to pray.
Obviously, the two waited in the study for a long time.
"Hehe... I didn't expect the reaction of this prince of the prison country to be quite fast. ”
Cao Qichang's expression froze, glanced at the two henchmen in front of him, and muttered almost self-deprecatingly.
What a bad luck! Before the ass of the picture was seated, two pieces of bad news came after him.
Such a quick response, and it is steady, accurate, and ruthless, and it is done without leakage, which is not like the crown prince Yuan Zhi.
Could it be that there are some high-ranking people around him, who are secretly guiding?
Cao Qichang pretended to be profound, and his head turned around quickly, and he found that today's talents are all within his sphere of influence.
Mo said that in the East Palace, even in the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace, there was no one who could come up with such a trick immediately.
"Xiangye, many ministers' mansions have received the prince's decree, and they have sent people over to ask, what should I do? You have to think carefully about this matter and reply to the ministers as soon as possible, so that some people don't lose their breath and act rashly. Jia Gongwang said.
"Mr. Jia, in your opinion, what should we do in response to the actions in the Prince's Fatwa and the Political Affairs Hall?"
Cao Qichang did not answer positively, but a rhetorical question.
can become the chief think tank around the prime minister of the cabinet, at least in the master's rivers and lakes, the level is not covered, let alone eaten.
Moreover, he understood the relevant information before Cao Qichang, and thought about it in advance, so he should have a countermeasure.
"Back to Xiangye, Xia Guan has thought about it roughly, and there are some strategies to try."
Sure enough, Master Jia Gongwang had a countermeasure.
"Mr. Jia, please sit down and speak slowly!"
Cao Qichang breathed a sigh of relief slightly, took the freshly brewed tea from the maid, took a sip, and then raised his eyes and looked at his think tank with hope.
"There are all kinds of signs these days that the measures adopted by Yuan Zhi, the prince of the prison state, are all dangerous moves to break the kettle, break the net, and take the sword, which is his most powerful killer weapon at present."
"He holds the imperial power in his hands, and he is ordered to go out of the main gate, we obviously can't directly confront him, but should overcome rigidity with softness, as soon as the three-day deadline arrives, notify everyone to report to their respective yamen, but if you don't work hard, you must let the prince of the prison country not find any fault."
"Wang Baoquan was arrested and put in prison, this is a serious accident, we have to go to the rescue in time, the five-phase cabinet yamen, including the queen mother of Funing Palace, can go to the East Palace to ask for people in the open light, if you really don't want to come back, at night, send our people to rob the prison."
"In short, we have to rescue people, because Wang Baoquan holds a lot of secrets of our Anguo Mansion, and in addition, if you can't rescue him from prison, it will also chill everyone's hearts, who will dare to follow Xiangye in the future."
"As for the officials who are being detained in the political hall, let's try to send someone to sneak in and tell them not to talk nonsense, to deal with the past calmly, if anything leaks, they will all be doomed."
Jia Gongwang talked about a few large parts, and although the countermeasures were not particularly brilliant, they were very practical.
At the moment, I really can't think of any other clever tricks.
"Cheng'er, what is this edict, I've never heard of it before?"
Cao Qichang listened carefully to the chief master's countermeasures, habitually stroked his chin and long beard, pondered for a moment, and asked Dugucheng first.
Dugu City is the bloody hand of the mighty rivers and lakes.
The Bloody Hand Gate is actually a gang in the rivers and lakes secretly controlled by the Cao family, and it has been nearly twenty years since its formation, and it is also the only gang in the rivers and lakes that can compete with Ji Hong's imperial secret guards.
"Back to my father's words, the edict was established early this morning, according to the decree of the prince of the prison state, and it was originally a secret detention point built by the secret guards." Dugu Cheng replied.
I see.
This trick seems ordinary, but it is actually quite insidious and vicious.
The secret detention chamber of the secret guards is mainly used for interrogation and briefly to keep an eye on what they think is a suspect.
However, it is not a prison of the Criminal Department, has no legitimate rights and interests, and does not conform to the laws of the DPRK.
Now, the crown prince of the prison state has issued an edict to designate him as an edict, which is actually a new type of national prison that puts on a legal cloak and is independent of the prison of the Criminal Department.
With the edict, it is actually authorizing the secret guard, and in the future, the criminal department and Dali Temple can be abandoned, and people can be openly arrested and detained and interrogated by virtue of the edict.
In this way, the dark guard is even more terrifying.
"The prime minister agrees to act according to Mr. Jia's strategy, and the matter of going to the edict to save people in prison will be arranged by the bloody hand, and matters such as notifying the ministers above the third grade in the capital will be implemented by Mr. Jia."
"No!"
"The child obeys his father's command."
Jia Gongwang and Dugucheng were each ordered to leave the Dongyuan study.
Cao Qichang got up and paced in the house for a while, and after thinking about it, he immediately returned to the bookcase, wrote a secret letter casually, and sent someone to send it to the inner palace and handed it over to the queen.
……
Early in the morning, the East Palace.
The prince got up on the fifth watch, washed briefly, and after eating breakfast, he hurried to his command post-west study.
Since the beginning of martial law, the East Palace is the busiest yamen in the entire imperial city, and after three watches every night, under the persuasion of everyone, the prince went back to the palace to rest.
On the fifth watch, he got up to work.
He knew in his heart that this was the beginning of his contest with the traitorous party group, and he must race against time, and in the first few rounds, he must be victorious.
"His Royal Highness, after a day and night of isolated interrogation, including the right attendant of the political affairs hall, the left concubine, the right Cheng and other officials, all confessed some situations of Cao Qichang's control of the cabinet and government and violations of law and discipline."
"The most valuable, I'm afraid is the right waiter Xu Xinchun confessed, about the left waiter Wang Baoquan privately passed the song to the king of Jin, the specific number of volumes, the date of transmission, the number of times, the handler, etc., the record is detailed and clear."
Ji Hong first reported the good news to the crown prince.
Yuan Zhi hurriedly unfolded the materials, read them carefully, raised his eyebrows, patted his thighs and said:
"This thing is done beautifully, the order will go down, and all the inspectors will be rewarded for their merits, yo yes, how is that left waiter Wang Baoquan now, have you explained?"
"Alas, when I mention this guy, I get angry, the dead duck has a hard mouth, refuses to confess, and uses all the torture tools in the interrogation, he would rather die than give in." Ji Hong lamented rather frustratedly.
"Don't be angry, these are all in Lone's expectation, he is afraid that once he shakes out the crime of Cao Mansion, he is afraid that dozens of people in his mansion will not be able to save their lives, in addition, he believes that Cao Qichang will definitely try to rescue him, hehe." Yuan Zhi sneered twice and ordered Ji Hong:
"Duke, pass the order down, strengthen the guard of Wang Baoquan, there must be no mistakes, Cao Qichang will definitely try his best to send someone to rescue, but once the rescue fails, hehe, the next step, they will kill people."
The prince is also a god operator.
Ji Hong was stunned for a moment, hurriedly raised his hand to salute, and sang a promise, "The slave understands, so I will go and convey the prince's order." ”
