Chapter 47: Arrest
Thinking of this, Chongzhen's gaze involuntarily fell on Wang Dehua, who was kneeling, he seemed to say that he was sick, so he was lying to himself.
Wang Dehua, who was kneeling on the ground without raising his head, of course didn't know what Chongzhen was thinking. He only knew that His Majesty had called himself a factory minister again, which meant that he had passed this level. At that moment, he asked his intentions, "Long live Lord has a will, and the minister will naturally do his best to do it." It's just that the head of the East Factory, Father-in-law Cao Huachun, and the foreman Wang Xiangyao and Zhang Yongyu suddenly couldn't get in touch, and they didn't know what was going on? Without their help, even if the ministers wanted to do some things, they would probably be inappropriate due to lack of manpower. ”
Suddenly, Wang Dehua mentioned the matter of Cao Huachun and the others, and in an instant, Chongzhen, who was sitting in the pavilion, immediately became gloomy.
Not to mention that these three people are okay, Chongzhen won't think about it so much, when he talks about these three eunuchs, he thinks that they actually have a private connection with the thieves, and he thinks that they want to steal the city gate and let the thieves enter the capital, and they almost killed themselves and the queen because of this.
"Okay, no need to say more, presumably your current body is not fully recovered, and go back and rest first. Wang Daban..."
Chongzhen didn't say anything more about the next words, but Wang Chengen understood it very well. He hurriedly nodded and agreed, and then walked to Wang Dehua, who was kneeling on the ground and looking confused, and said, "Princess, long live Lord forgive you, you better go back first." ”
Do you really understand me?
At this time, Wang Dehua was still confused.
Originally, they had a good conversation, but he just tentatively asked how Cao Huachun and the three of them were doing, but suddenly the conversation changed and let him go back to rest.
This is obviously not right.
There must have been something going on in the middle that I didn't know, could it be that Cao Huachun and the three of them really had an accident? But it shouldn't, they are all smart people, and they should know that some things must not be recruited, otherwise it must be a dead end.
If you don't recruit and still have the hope of living, if you recruit you, you will die, and everyone must know how to choose this.
And it was Jin Yiwei who interrogated them, Jin Yiwei really had so much courage to really dare to be ruthless to Cao Huachun and them? Isn't that enough?
It was because he couldn't understand, because he wanted to find out what was going on, that Wang Dehua appeared in Kunning Palace, but now, Chongzhen actually asked him to go back and have a good rest? What the hell is going on here?
There are a hundred and eleven people in my heart who don't understand, but since Chongzhen has spoken, Wang Dehua doesn't dare to disobey. He has been following his side for too long, and he knows the temper of this emperor very well, once he is really angry, he still hides away first, and when the anger disappears, before reappearing, there is still room for redemption.
On the other hand, if you don't listen to the holy command, you will take yourself down in a few minutes and let someone else take your place.
I think at the beginning, didn't Cao Huachun just because he didn't do a good job, Chongzhen scolded him, but he still wanted to explain, but he even lost the errand of the factory minister, and cheapened himself?
Wang Dehua is a smart person, and he also understands Chongzhen, seeing that things cannot be violated, he did not have the slightest intention of forcing it, and kowtowed his head to the ground and said: "The minister thanks the long live Lord for his understanding, the minister will go back and rest well, and when his body is completely well, he will come to serve the emperor." ”
didn't use Wang Chengen to help, they were not all the way in the first place, and belonged to the two factions in the eunuch group.
Wang Dehua got up and left quickly, Wang Chengen had just sent him away, and when he returned to the pavilion, Chongzhen, who was sitting there with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, "Big companion, what is that kid busy with?" ”
"Back to Long Live Lord, the minister is not very clear, but if you want to come to the army just back, there should be a lot of things to do." Wang Chengen didn't dare to talk nonsense, although their master was sometimes very foolish, it didn't prove that he was easy to deceive. He doesn't care what others do, as a loyal minister among loyal ministers, he has long demanded that he can't deceive the emperor in anything.
"yes, he should be busy. Don't let him be distracted by the things in the palace, so you can check it out immediately and see if Wang Dehua is really sick in the past few days, or if he is deliberately hiding from me, and report it secretly after the investigation. ”
Obviously, this meeting Chongzhen was a little suspicious of Wang Dehua.
Out of previous trust, when Wang Dehua didn't show up in the past few days, Chongzhen didn't think much about it, on the contrary, he was still very happy in his heart when someone appeared today. But it shouldn't be, he mentioned Cao Huachun and the others, which made Chongzhen involuntarily vigilant.
Only then did he remember that the eunuchs were not all loyal ministers like Wang Chengen, or thieves like Cao Huachun, so which kind of Wang Dehua belonged to?
I wanted to hand over this matter to Zhu Changwu, but after thinking about it, the other party should have more important things to do, so don't trouble him. Besides, the affairs in the palace actually belong to the emperor's family affairs, and the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, so the investigation must be handed over to Wang Chengen.
"Minister... Compliance. It's just that Wang Gonggong is the factory of the East Factory, and I am afraid that the people who use the East Factory will definitely not work. Wang Chengen showed a somewhat embarrassed look, but in fact, he was a little excited in his heart.
He came to the palace with Chongzhen from the palace of King Xin, and since then, Wang Chengen has actually been rejected by other eunuchs.
For this reason, he was not less coldly looked down upon, and even as far as he knew, Wang Dehua, Cao Huachun and others had said bad things about themselves in front of Chongzhen more than once. That is, because the emperor has always believed in him, he has not really been cleaned up.
Wang Chengen has been bowing his head and doing things sincerely, but it's not that he hasn't thought about retaliating back, it's just that his strength is too thin and he can't find any way. Just like now, even if Chongzhen became suspicious of Wang Dehua and handed over the investigation to him, he still couldn't do it because he didn't have enough available manpower.
"What do you mean?" Chongzhen opened his mouth.
"Long live Lord, I'm afraid this matter still has to be done by the Jinyi Guard." Wang Chengen said what he wanted.
The current commander of the Jinyi Guard is Zhu Changwu, this person is not familiar with Wang Dehua at all, and he doesn't even know each other, so it is possible to send his people to investigate the matter clearly. It's not like Wu Mengming, the commander of Jinyiwei, is completely a dog next to Wang Dehua, and the two of them wear a pair of pants, which is completely useless.
"Jin Yiwei?" Hearing that Zhu Changwu was still going to be used, Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he seemed to be unable to play some things without that kid now.
I didn't want to trouble the other party, but now looking at Wang Chengen's meaning, it's not okay not to bother, Chongzhen simply didn't bother to think about it, "Okay, that's the case, you can go to Jinyiwei, but remember one thing, there must be evidence to arrest people, I don't want to see anything happen." ”
"Obey." Seeing that Chongzhen agreed, Wang Chengen hurriedly knelt on the ground to accept the order, and then got up and slowly retreated.
Wang Chengen wanted to find Zhu Changwu to borrow someone.
At this time, Zhu Changwu was indeed very busy, and there were too many things for him to do.
Today's Daming Jingshi is in ruins, no! It should be said that it is not as good as even a hundred wastes to be revived, seriously speaking, the people are panicking, the courtiers are not going to the court, and there is no one in the yamen to sit on duty, and the entire Beijing division has become a machine that no one to command, but it is just moving forward under inertia and operating at will.
When a city with a population of more than one million is not bound by the law, there is no deterrence from law enforcers, and no one stands up to speak out about fairness and justice, you can imagine how dangerous and bad such a city is.
Unfettered freedom is certainly the side that everyone seeks, but it is also the time when the ugliness of human nature is truly revealed.
For example, if you are in your city and suddenly there are no law enforcement officers, and no one cares what you want to do, what will it be? When the time comes, you see how many people can walk on the street with confidence, and you see if those rooster and dog thieves will jump out?
The capital of the Ming Dynasty is now like this.
After Ji Jinkai and Hu Yunfeng's team began to patrol the streets, in just over an hour, they arrested nearly 1,000 bandits who committed crimes on the streets.
These people were originally scoundrels on the streets, and they usually made a living by bullying honest people.
In the past, the government was still in charge, although it was inevitable that there would be collusion, but these scoundrels were somewhat restrained in doing things, they didn't dare to be too rampant, after all, this is the Beijing Division, who knows if the person who walks by you casually will be a big official of the imperial court, and what you do will be seen by others, and whether you will be punished for not pleasing to the eye.
It can also be said that these people are usually suppressed. But now, the Ming Dynasty may die at any time, and all the court officials are thinking of their own way out, and no one is performing their duties at all, which creates a "good" environment for the pranksters to do whatever they want.
In the past few days, the splashers have gone from careful temptation at the beginning to the fanfare in the back, and they no longer know how many people's property has been robbed, and even those who hurt people and murderers have also happened from time to time.
Of course, these splashes don't dare to provoke those big families, everyone has a family nursing home. Unlike ordinary people, especially some small businessmen, they have no ability to resist at all, and it will naturally be much easier to deal with them, and there is no risk.
When Ji Jinkai and Hu Yunfeng's team began to patrol the streets, they saw that there were many tragic incidents.
Needless to say, in the face of these lawless people, there is one word - grasp.
