The account book that Liu Guran handed over to Yan Long has a thick book, on which various transactions (bribery and bribery) are recorded in detail, containing extremely rich information, looking at the account book, it is as if you are in the scene. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

With Yan Long's memory and comprehension ability, it took a full hour to read it.

After reading it, Yan Long closed the account book, sighed lightly, and said secretly in his heart: "Alas, the so-called machine gun shooting of the entire court, and there is absolutely no one who has been wronged, so that's what it means." ”

He was in the Beizhen Fusi Prison at this time, and Jiang Wei was sitting opposite him on official business.

Yan Long casually handed the account book in his hand to Jiang Weidao: "Boyo, you can also take a look, after reading it, I want to hear your thoughts." ”

Jiang Wei took the account book and answered: "Yes!" and put down the official business at hand and began to read the account book.

After half an hour, Jiang Wei put down the account book in his hand that he had not finished reading, and said to Yan Long: "Childe, Jiang Wei thinks that this account book is available, but it can't be used up." ”

Yan Long smiled and said, "What does Boyo mean?"

Jiang Weidao: "The names on the account books almost involve the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, although some records are difficult to distinguish from the truth because of the long time, but with our Jinyi Wei's ability to weave charges, plus we now have the emperor's holy decree, as long as we follow these clues, it is possible to bring down a large number of people." ”

Yan Long didn't speak, he was waiting for Jiang Wei to continue.

Jiang Weidao: "But in the process of investigating these people, our Jinyiwei will inevitably become the target of the public, and most of the officials will attack us en masse, don't look at them are usually very tame, once they violate their vital interests, even the emperor's holy decree will not work." At that time, whether the emperor's determination will be shaken and whether we will be able to hold on to it are all unknown. Moreover, we now have a very weak foundation in the DPRK, and it is very difficult to suddenly investigate so many people, and after overthrowing these people, we will not be able to gain any real benefits. ”

After a pause, Jiang Wei said his final consideration, and he solemnly said to Yan Long: "Childe, my subordinates think that this matter should not be rushed. As long as the ledger is in hand, we know the connection between these people, and we can check it slowly in the future. The most important thing now is that we must co-opt a group of officials in the court and establish our own forces, so that when there are vacancies, we can be promoted and filled. ”

Yan Long listened to this, and said with a smile: "The meaning of Boyo coincides with me. ”

"But ......" Yan Long frowned, his eyes revealing ruthlessness.

Jiang Wei asked, "Does Childe still have any concerns?"

Yan Long said: "No, it's not a concern! I'm thinking about how to make the officials of the DPRK and China fear us and want to come and cling to us!"

Jiang Wei smiled: "Childe, leave this to your subordinates." Jiang Wei has been in Jinyiwei for so many years, and he hasn't learned anything else, but when it comes to the whole person, I am an expert. If you want to deter everyone, you just need to kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys. ”

Yan Long laughed and said, "Okay." Only, where are the chickens?"

Jiang Weidao: "In the edict prison, there is one ready-made!"

"Who?"

"Tian Ergeng, the right attendant of the military department!"

......

After a few days, Yan Long continued to arrest people, and the people arrested were all officials who were usually very close to Liu Qiao, and one of them was Du Huaiyang, the secretary of the Criminal Department in the Sixth Ministry.

The position of Shangshu is already the official title of Zheng Erpin, and it is extremely powerful, and it belongs to the real power figures in the court.

Even when Wei Zhongxian's Dongchang was arrogant, he didn't dare to attack Shangshu casually, but Yan Long wanted to commit this taboo, not to mention that Shangshu of the Criminal Department was in charge of punishment, no matter when and where, he was a difficult figure. Yan Long faced the Du Criminal Department, and many people were waiting to see a good show.

Yan Long didn't care so much, his current identity is the crown prince Shaobao, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the Tongzhi, although he has not yet been promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, but he has actually controlled the entire Jinyi Guard. With his current strength, it would not be a problem to deal with a Shangshu.

Du Huaiyang was "invited" to Jinyiwei Prison, he has not been convicted yet, so he did not wear a flail, and the official uniform and hat were well worn.

Du Huaiyang's face was as dark as iron, and he sat in the chair of the torture room without saying a word, and he could be said to be quite calm compared to the panic and uneasiness of the other interrogators.

Yan Long and Jiang Wei came in.

Yan Long waved his hand and let the brocade guard in the torture room out.

The iron door closed, and there were only three people left in the room.

Yan Long sat leisurely across from Du Huaiyang, with an iron table between them.

Yan Long said with a smile: "This torture room is built with special materials, soundproof, and we can't hear the conversation outside. ”

Du Huaiyang said coldly: "I know that our criminal department also has such a torture room. ”

"Oh, it seems that the Du Criminal Department is also a person in this way, so I won't talk nonsense. Yan Long smiled: "You should know what we are looking for you this time, right?"

Du Huaiyang said expressionlessly: "I don't know." ”

"Good, good, good. Yan Long said three yes in a row, and then glanced at Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei threw a booklet to Du Huaiyang, and then said coldly: "You can take a look first, Master Du." ”

Du Huaiyang opened the booklet, and after reading it for a while, there was no expression on his face, but his pupils were obviously constricted.

Yan Long secretly said in his heart: "It seems that it is true that he and Liu Qiao bribed each other, framed innocent people and profited from them." ”

For a long time, Jinyiwei has had a gray income called "Guilty Silver".

It is to put some people who have committed crimes on death row, that is, they will not be released or tried, and they will wait for their families to contribute money to the edict and renew the lives of the prisoners. If you have enough money, you can be exonerated.

This kind of lack of moral money is easy to earn, and the risk is very small, Jin Yiwei has always relied on this income, and he has lived a very nourishing life.

It's just that if you want to make money, you naturally have to have a "supply".

The so-called "sources" are some criminals who are not enough to be sentenced to death, but can use the death penalty to blackmail their family members to give money. Such a "source of goods" is in the prison of the Criminal Department, and a lot of them are caught.

As long as there is some innovation and cooperation, everything will inevitably be able to create economic benefits.

Therefore, Du Huaiyang and Liu Qiao, two high-ranking officials who were in charge of almost half of the prison affairs in the Ming Dynasty, raised eyebrows and hooked up together.

I give you the "supply", you give me money, what a fair deal.

Hello, hello, hello everyone.

However, now that Liu Qiao has fallen, Du Huaiyang is obviously very bad.

He's pretending to be calm.

He gently put the book on the table, and said expressionlessly: "You Jinyiwei are framing me, I have never done such a thing, you don't want to frame me." I want to meet the emperor!"

Yan Long smiled: "You will see the emperor, but not now!"
