Chapter Seventy-Six: Jingzhao Mansion Yin (1)

The person who has the most headache in the whole capital these days is probably Lord Yin Duan and Pu Qing Duan of Jingzhao Mansion. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info Since this sensational murder case in the capital, the Lord Yin in charge of the case has never slept well, thinking about it for a few days in a row, he suddenly slapped his head and ordered the case to be tried in the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion on the eighth day of the first month of March.

As soon as the news came out, almost the entire capital city was boiling! Jingzhao Mansion was about to start a trial on the fifth day after receiving the report, which was simply an unprecedented miracle, and it was even more unbelievable and sensational than Yan Shizi's arrest for killing the boatman's family!

Because almost everyone in the capital knows that this Lord Yin Duan Pu Qing Duan of Jingzhao Mansion is definitely a slick and sleek character who is accustomed to being left and right, otherwise he would not have sat in such an extremely sensitive and hot position as Yin of Jingzhao Mansion for nearly ten years.

As the parent official of the capital, Duan Fuyin's main responsibility is not to maintain law and order in the capital, but how to balance the conflicts of interest between the major wealthy nobles in the capital, so that they can do whatever they want under the rules of the game set by the emperor.

It is precisely because this Duan Mansion Yin has a very high talent in this regard, so under his skillful governance, the entire Jingyang City has always maintained an orderly and prosperous scene.

It's a pity that the people at the bottom of the capital don't quite understand this Lord Yin and his painstaking efforts to maintain this harmonious and stable situation, and even gave him the nickname "broken" behind his back. This nickname naturally quickly reached the ears of Lord Duan, and while he was embarrassed and annoyed, he could only helplessly scold a few more words of "Diao Min" in his belly!

It is precisely because of this Duan Fu Yin that almost everyone guessed that he would delay this absolutely unflattering case as much as possible, until people's attention was gradually diverted by other novel events that happened one after another, and finally lost interest in the case completely. At that time, he will be able to use his best trick of mud and muddy water, so that the case will be closed.

Who knew that this time the performance of Lord Fu Yin was so unexpected, it can really be said that it is just a blockbuster, a blockbuster. While impressing everyone with him, he couldn't help but secretly sweat for him!

Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows who he was guilty of in making this decision. For the sake of a small boatman, he actually went against the Yan family, this is no longer a question of whether it is worth it or not, but a question of whether he can live or not.

People couldn't help but secretly doubt in their hearts, could it be that this Lord Duan suddenly lost his mind?

................................................................................................................................................

"This Duan Puqing must be crazy!"

In the Shoukang Palace, Queen Yan, who had just received the news, raised her eyebrows, gritted her teeth and cursed, and in anger, she actually threw the delicate green jade teacup in her hand to the ground!

There was a crisp sound of "pop", which silenced all the palace people in the hall.

"Please let the queen mother calm her anger! Don't be angry, lest you hurt your body. His Royal Highness King Ji, the eldest son of the emperor, still looked light, and at the same time glanced at the palace people who were standing solemnly on the side without a trace.

Empress Yan immediately realized her gaffe, coughed lightly, and said, "You all go down." ”

After the palace people retreated, Empress Yan couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you tell me the day before yesterday that you had already talked to that Duan Puqing, and there is still room for maneuver in this case, can the retrial be postponed in the name of insufficient evidence?"

At this time, King Ji was also gloomy, with an originally elegant and upright face, and said hatefully: "At that time, Pu Qing really promised his sons like this! Who knew that it was only a day, and he suddenly changed his hexagram!"

"This person has always done things twice, could it be that he was just perfunctory to you at that time?"

"I'm afraid not necessarily! Erchen thinks that he must have been instigated by someone, otherwise this loach-like fellow would never dare to act so boldly!"

Empress Yan couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, "What do you mean by this? Could it be that someone dares to be an enemy of our Yan clan?"

"Queen Mother, please think about it, this case is full of strangeness, there must be someone behind the covert manipulation, and the person who is secretly manipulating is naturally aimed at our Yan family. ”

"But who has such great ability, not only can lay down such a situation, but also can make that 'unclear' who has always been wise and self-protective choose a position for the first time and dare to jump out and openly oppose us?"

"Although the identity of this person is still difficult to determine, since he has already made a move, he will definitely leave some traces that can be traced. And the matter of tracking down this person's identity may have to fall on Yin Duan Puqing of this Jingzhao Mansion. ”

Empress Yan frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "What you said does have some truth. With Duan Puqing's always own person, he will never be moved by the small profits in front of him, what can move him must be something that he will never be able to refuse. But what is there that we can't give, but the other party can give him?"

King Ji also frowned and said thoughtfully: "Although the wealth is moving, Duan Puqing has been a parent official in the capital for more than nine years, and I am afraid that even I, the prince, cannot compare with the wealth of his wealth." Since he is an official, it stands to reason that he should pay more attention to power, and with his financial resources and connections, it is not difficult to mix with Dali Siqing or even the secretary of the Criminal Department. But he has been in the position of Jingzhao Mansion Yin for more than nine years, and he still has no intention of moving-"

Empress Yan suddenly interjected: "Mingren, your last sentence is likely to have hit the nail on the head, what this Lord Duan wants should be the position of Jingzhao Mansion Yin!"

"The queen mother means ......" King Ji still looked a little confused.

"Although our Yan clan has the strength to put his name in the promotion roster, and we also have the strength to find a few imperial envoys to impeach him, so that he will be demoted or even dismissed, but we do not have the strength to let him sit firmly in the position of Jingzhao Mansion Yin for nine years. ”

King Ji couldn't help but suddenly say: "The queen mother's meaning and sons understand! The person who really has the strength to let Duan Puqing sit in Jingzhao Mansion safely for nine years is the only emperor!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the mother and son suddenly lost color......

................................................................................................................................................

At this time, in the Funing Palace, another main hall of the palace, Emperor Haoxing Xiaoqi saw Zheng Yong walking in, so he casually threw a chess piece in his hand back into the chessboard, and asked leisurely: "What's wrong?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Jingzhao Mansion has posted a notice that the trial of Yan Xingbao's murder of the boatman's family will begin on the eighth day of March the day after tomorrow. ”

Haoxing Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows in a little surprise, and then nodded with a satisfied smile, "Duan Puqing, the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, still understands. ”

Zheng Yong echoed: "If you want to say that this Lord Duan has indeed given birth to a delicate heart, it is a little bit clear. ”

"Did he inquire about anything?"

"Not really. The people he sent yesterday only sat in Huafu for a while, and they didn't even see the two who reported the case, but today a notice was posted in front of the yamen. ”

He didn't ask, proving that he knew it. It seems that although he was not involved in that incident, he had heard about it somewhat. ”

"Your Majesty, in this way, this man's loyalty is really worrisomeβ€”"

"Eh, a Jingzhao Mansion Yin, with no soldiers or generals in his hands, what's the use of so much loyalty?! As long as he governs this Jingyang City in an orderly manner for me, he is the greatest loyalty to me. As for those things that inquire about the news, he doesn't need to do it. Besides, even if he did come to tell me secretly, how could I believe him?!" With that, he took out a piece from the chess piece again and studied the game in front of him intently.

"Your Majesty, Shengming! It's the old slave's insight that is too short-sighted!"

Zheng Yong confessed with a smiling face, and at the same time thought in his heart, I'm afraid that people like Duan Puqing, the emperor just treats him as a pawn that can be used! But then again, in fact, in the emperor's mind, who is not a chess piece that can be manipulated at will?

At this time, Haoxing Xiaoqi suddenly raised his head from the chessboard again, and instructed Zheng Yong: "Tell Prince Ding, he has full authority to handle the affairs of Yan Yuguang." ”

A trace of hesitation flashed in Zheng Yong's eyes, but his mouth still responded: "Yes, Your Majesty, the old slave will inform him." ”

"And you remind him that although the crime of Yan Yu is not forgiven, it is a matter of royal face, and it is not appropriate to make too much trouble. ”

"Yes. Although Zheng Yong responded immediately, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty really believes that this Li Jin can deal with Yan Houye?"

"Don't underestimate this Bai Ding Li Jin! Since he can put out the cold and clear words of the city government, and deal with the strict area that has grown a three-inch tongue in the air, but has always been a mouse's eye, it should be more than enough. ”

Speaking of this, Haoxing Xiaoqi suddenly frowned and asked, "Zheng Yong, did you say that Leng Yiqing was also involved in that incident?"

"Thisβ€”" Zheng Yong took a breath and said cautiously, "Zuo Xiang has always been cautious, and the old slave has indeed never heard of his dealings with King Ji. Moreover, since this case came out, King Ji and Marquis Yan have both put pressure on Duan Mansion Yin overtly or secretly, and even Prince Ding has asked Jingzhao Mansion about the case according to Your Majesty's instructions. But only this hall has not heard the slightest movement. ”

Haoxing Xiaoqi just hummed softly, and did not speak with a gloomy face.

Zheng Yong, who was accustomed to looking at his face and figuring out the sacred heart, couldn't help but feel worried when he saw it, and hurriedly changed the conversation and said: "However, the old slave feels that since the little Jingzhao Mansion Yin has heard about that incident, Leng Yiqing is the left minister, and his ears and eyes are well-informed, so he should know more than Duan Puqing." Moreover, he is in an important position, and it stands to reason that King Ji cannot help but have a heart for him, but when Zuo Xiang was right in front of the king, he never showed this. From this point of view, this Zuo Xiang's lord is afraid that his intentions are also unpredictable-"

Haoxing Xiaoqi's face became more and more gloomy, thinking that this cold Yiqing dared to make nonsense about his basic national policy of exterminating the hermit clan behind his back, he couldn't help but be even more annoyed, "It seems that what Li Jin said is true, they have really put a lot of effort into colluding with the courtiers. And when he gets the solid evidence from Yan Yuguang, hmph, I will see clearly what the intentions of this Zuo Xiangsan are!"
