Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 371 The emperor should be satisfied!

Beizhen Fusi Prison is a very mysterious place to many people.

Because here is the end of life for most people.

After entering the Jinyiwei prison, the people from the Ministry of War were paralyzed from fright.

Relatively speaking, Ru Xun was a bit better, being able to walk in from the outside by herself.

However, when he saw the neat instruments of torture hanging on the wall, beads of sweat still oozed from his forehead.

If what he expected is not bad, all these instruments of torture will be used on him, right?
Jiang Yu, who personally received Ru Yu, could not help explaining with a smile when she saw that Ru Yu's gaze was always on the instruments of torture.

"Ru Shangshu, don't worry, generally speaking, no one can survive three torture devices."

"With your pampered figure, it's enough to just pick one or two."

Ru Yu forced herself to calm down.

"I am not guilty!"

"You don't want to be tortured into tricks, and let the official confess to those trumped-up charges!"

Jiang Yu made a gesture of invitation and sent Ru Yu to a cell.

"As long as you enter here, whether you are guilty or not is not up to you."

"You dare to join forces with the military department to frame the emperor's grandson and subcontract the agricultural tools that the emperor's grandson transported to Shangyuan County, causing the emperor's grandson to be punished by His Majesty!"

"Such a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, it is not too much to cut you into pieces!"

When Ru Yu heard this, her heart skipped a beat, but she still pretended to be calm on the surface, as if she didn't know what Jiang Yu was talking about.

Fortunately, Jiang Yu didn't bother to explain to him, and stopped talking to him after he was locked in. He just interrogated the prisoner in the cell next to him.

The first to bring up were the two servants of the Ministry of War.

The so-called servant is the deputy minister in charge of the specific affairs of the Ministry of War.

Shao Yongxiang is quite normal, because he is not reused, and he is excluded in the Ministry of War.

He is still in a dazed state and has no idea what happened.

He just vaguely guessed that it should be related to the sale of weapons by the emperor's grandson, but he didn't know exactly how.

Compared to Shao Yongxiang's ignorance, Xu Lian's heart is like a bright mirror.

Because this matter was completely handled by him, and he personally participated in the finalization of every detail.

But in order not to show his feet, he also pretended to be as ignorant as Shao Yongxiang, trying to get away with it.

However, Jin Yiwei has specialized in handling cases for so many years, and has seen many villains and villains, how can he be deceived by him?

In addition, Jiang Yu was originally a technical backbone who was promoted by relying on his outstanding business ability, so dealing with something like him is simply a hand in hand.

Jiang Yu didn't punish them, but called out several undercover agents who had been buried in the government office of the Ministry of War, and asked them to confess to some suspicious persons.

The level of contact with government servants is generally not high, but whether it is subcontracting, or cargo storage and transshipment, government servants and soldiers are always needed to work.

After all, gentlemen's delicate hands are for writing articles, how can they do such rough work?
"Reporting to the commander, we didn't have many contacts in the Ministry of War. We just vaguely heard that a few days ago, Fan Laosan, Dong Damu, Zhao Gui and others were sent on a fat job. They all took ten taels of silver!"

Jiang Yu immediately ordered these people to be called out, and they were interrogated in the cell next to the Minister of the Ministry of War and the two servants of the Ministry of War.

"Speak!"

"Back to the adults, you haven't asked yet, the little ones don't know what to say!"

"Humph!"

Jiang Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense with this kind of guy, so he yelled directly at Xu Liuzi who was beside him.

"Use punishment!"

"okay!"

Xu Liuzi is now considered to be the emperor's grandson, and usually Jin Yiwei would not dare to work for this great god even if he had a case.

It's just that today's case is special, involving His Royal Highness the emperor's grandson, so Jiang Yu specially called Xu Liuzi to be a witness.

Xu Liuzi was not polite when he heard the words, and immediately took out a red-hot iron from the charcoal brazier, and burned it on Fan Laosan's thigh.

In fact, when Fan Laosan saw the soldering iron, his psychological defense was close to collapse.The moment the iron was attached to the skin, the piercing pain was transmitted to the central nervous system, and he completely broke his defense.

"I recruit!"

"Xu Shilang ordered me to do it. He said that as long as I replace the things, it's nothing to do with me..."

"He also said that he would transfer me to the Ministry of Punishment afterwards and let me be a small boss..."

Jiang Yu heard the words and asked lightly.

"Be specific!"

"When, where, and what did Xu Lian ask you to change to what?"

"How many words have been told to you during this period, how much money has been given to you, if you confess in detail, I can guarantee that you will not die!"

"I said!"

"That fellow Xu Lian found me five days ago in the afternoon, and took me to a restaurant outside the Ministry of War for dinner, and told me to exchange the weapons and armor in the warehouse of the Ministry of War into dozens of carriages. Then give me 50 taels of silver..."

"I said this job can't be done by one person, and I have to find two helpers, so he added 20 taels to me. I took 50 taels alone, and the remaining 20 taels were given to Dong Da and Zhao Gui. Five days ago In the evening, replace the things on the carriage with Xu Shilang...no no...the weapon and armor Xu Lian gave..."

"My lord, I'm telling the truth. I'm just a worker. I don't know why they let me do this!"

"I only found out after the fact that Xu Lian dared to frame His Royal Highness, the grandson of the emperor. If I had known earlier, they would have given me 1000 taels of silver, and I wouldn't have dared to take this job, woo woo woo..."

Seeing that Fan Laosan was so easy to deal with, Jiang Yu couldn't help showing a contemptuous expression on his face.

"Take it down and sign it!"

"Bring Xu Lian up again!"

Xu Lian had heard Fan Laosan's confession a long time ago, and when he was brought into the interrogation room, he saw the soldering iron in the nearby stove and knelt down to Jiang Yu with a plop.

"The lower officials are all recruited!"

"It was Ru Yu, that fellow Ru Yu forced the subordinate officials to do it..."

As soon as Xu Lian finished speaking, he heard Ru Xun's angry roar from the cell next door.

"Xu Lian, you bastard, if I hadn't listened to your plan, I wouldn't have done such a thing!"

Jiang Yu winked at the Jinyiwei next to him, and a Jinyiwei Xiaoqi immediately walked into the next cell, grabbed the straw on the ground, rolled it up, and stuffed it into Ruyu's mouth.

Seeing that the prison was clean, Jiang Yu continued the interrogation.

"Speak!"

"Confession in every detail, maybe the emperor's grandson is kind enough to keep your whole body!"

When Xu Lian heard this, he was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground on the spot, a foul-smelling liquid flowed from his crotch.

At this moment, there were only two words left in his mind.

Finished!

I'm at the end of my life!

After Xu Lian confessed his crime evasively, Jiang Yu brought Ru Yu over again.

After Jin Yiwei took the straw out of his mouth, Ru Xun gave a "pooh" to Xu Lian.

"I bother!"

"Well, you Xu Lian, you leave yourself completely clean, and put all the shit on my head!"

"If you hadn't fooled the old man, saying that the entire Ministry of War relied on this little loss to live, and if the source of income could not be kept, the livelihood of all the staff in the Ministry of War would be in question. How could this old man do such a thing?"

"No matter how poor this old man is, he is still the Minister of the Ministry of War. He never counts on such a waste to live on. Every year, I can't use up my filial piety..."

"Jiang Yu, I don't make many excuses for myself, I just ask you to report the truth to the emperor's grandson."

"I'm guilty, but I didn't want to fight against the emperor's grandson. I was completely coerced by the people from the Ministry of War. In order to keep their jobs, I acquiesced in this matter!"

"The emperor's grandson wants to kill and cut this official. I just ask the emperor's grandson to forgive the old man's family..."

When the case is tried to this extent, there is basically nothing to try.All that was left was to ask the doctors of the various divisions to confirm whether what they said was true.

But in general, the crimes have been settled, deceiving the emperor, corrupting the law, turning black and white, and confusing the public.

It's hard to say what will happen to the other members of the Ministry of War, but there is a high probability that Ru Yu and Xu Lian will be killed!

However, how to deal with it is not up to him. He just wants to find out the truth behind the matter for His Majesty and the emperor's grandson.

When Jin Yiwei surrounded the military department, the whole court was shocked, and even Lao Zhu was frightened by Dasun's methods.

Lao Zhu founded Jinyiwei, but he has been on guard against Jinyiwei, and from time to time he slaughtered a commander to sacrifice to heaven, in order to calm down the anger of the people and the resentment of officials.

Therefore, he has always been cautious about Jin Yiwei, and he would never use these people unless he couldn't bear it.

Although Lao Zhu gave Dasun a move to make good use of Jin Yiwei, but in his mind, Dasun would at best arrest a few people to scare him, but he never thought that Dasun would be so ruthless as soon as he made a move, and directly killed hundreds of people in the military department. caught.

"Er Hu, go to Jin Yiwei and keep an eye on it, don't let Jiang Yu and the others go too far!"

Erhu also knew Lao Zhu's attitude towards Jin Yiwei, so he was always reluctant to let Zhu Yunxie get in touch with Jin Yiwei too much, and even guarded against Jiang Yu, a treacherous person, from getting close to Zhu Yunxie.

Now that he heard the emperor's instructions, he hurriedly ran to Beizhen Fusi to sit in the township.

After Lao Zhu dispatched the two tigers, the officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Division eagerly wrote the memorial.

They have accumulated a lot of black materials about Zhu Yunxi these days, but they think that these black materials are too little to cause serious damage to Zhu Yunxi, so they have been forbearing until now.

Now seeing Zhu Yunxi baring his fangs and arresting hundreds of people from the Ministry of War, they don't have to be afraid.

According to their understanding, if Zhu Yunxi can round up the Ministry of War today, he can abolish the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Division tomorrow.

Anyway, sooner or later you will die, it is better to yell twice before you die.

For a while, the memorial to impeach Zhu Yunxi flew to Qianqing Palace like snowflakes.

When the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Division collectively impeached Zhu Yunxi and used the tactics of besieging Wei and saving Zhao, the three old men in Wenhua Hall couldn't sit still anymore.

They collectively ran to Beizhen Fusi and asked to meet the emperor's grandson.

Hearing the arrival of these three people, Jiang Yu was actually very bored, but he didn't dare to refuse for the emperor's grandson, so he could only order people to entertain them with good tea and water, and wait for the results of the interrogation on his side, and then follow up with them. There was a time difference between the three old men, and they sent the military department's interrogation document to the empress dowager first, and then reported to the empress dowager about the arrival of the three masters.

Zhu Yunxi had long expected that the three masters would come.

Because the greatest hope of these three masters is to cultivate themselves into a sage king who conforms to the ideals of Confucianism.

Benevolence, gentleness, tolerance, generosity.

Relatively speaking, Lao Zhu's training direction is much simpler.

Shrewd and capable, not to be fooled by the underlings, guarding the Daming country well is a good grandson.

I can't say who is right and who is wrong, I can only say that both sides are a bit wishful thinking.

Zhu Yunxi's ideal is the stars and the sea, but not some kind of holy king in his heart!

"Let them come here!"

"promise!"

When Jiang Yu went to bring the three masters over, Zhu Yunxi turned over the interrogation documents of the members of the Ministry of War.

The cause and process of the incident are similar to Jiang Yu's previous analysis, and it is indeed a dispute caused by "loss".

Because the sale of weapons and armor on their side has touched the interests of the top and bottom of the Ministry of War, so they made such an incident, hoping to use it to damage their prestige and keep their agreed vested interests.

The case is not complicated, and the arrangement is not well thought out.

It's just that everyone treated the confession as a complaint meeting, crying and crying about how the salary is too low to survive, which made him feel bored for a while.

How dare you cheat me, why are you blaming me?
When Zhu Yunxi was getting restless, three masters walked in.

Gao Ming's face was dark, Yang Xinlu and Qin Hengbo's faces were also not good-looking, but fortunately, he forced a smile.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun..."

"Your Highness, this time you..."

Without waiting for Gao Ming to finish speaking, Zhu Yunxi threw Jin Yiwei's interrogation record over.

"Master Gao, you should take a look at this first!"

Seeing this, Yang Xinlu and Qin Hengbo also craned their necks to look. As Gao Ming turned the page faster and faster, their faces turned from black to red, angry red.

"No reason!"

"This group of guys who suffered thousands of knives actually cheated Daming's crown prince for a few pennies. Don't they know that doing so will shake the foundation of Daming?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi finally felt somewhat relieved.

My own master is still facing me!
"If the three masters don't believe it, you can go to the cell to see if there is any factor of torture."

"What's unbelievable..."

As soon as Yang Xinlu said this, Gao Ming cupped his hands at the side.

"That old man is welcome!"

After Gao Ming said this, he walked out of the cell, and cupped his hands perfunctorily at Jiang Yu who was guarding the door.

"Please take this old man to take a look at the cell where the officials of the Ministry of War are held!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yu was furious on the spot.

He didn't fight with a few old men before, it was to save face for the grandson of the emperor.

Seeing that several people don't even believe the words of the emperor's grandson now, he, a dog, naturally has to bark twice for his master.

"Gao Ming, don't go too far. Where are you as Fusi of Beizhen? You can just watch it!"

"The old man obeyed the emperor's grandson's decree, do you dare not let the old man see it?"

"I……"

"All right!"

"Come here, take Master Gao and the other two masters to the cell where the officials of the Ministry of War are detained..."

Jiang Yu sent a few people away, and immediately ran into the cell to complain to the emperor grandson.

"Your Highness, I really didn't use the penalty this time. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xu Liuzi. You only let Xu Liuzi burn it with a soldering iron when interrogating a military officer..."

"Gu knows, Gu just let them go and have a look, to dispel their suspicions."

Seeing what Zhu Yunxi said, Jiang Yu immediately let go of his hanging heart.

"Your Highness, do you have any orders?"

"In addition, how do you plan to deal with this group of scum in the Ministry of Military Affairs, whether to punish them or let them die in prison?"

Zhu Yunxi was a little unhappy when he heard the words, and felt that Jiang Yu was indeed a bit sinister.

The so-called death in prison is to find a way to make people die of illness in the cell, commonly known as "suicide".

"If this matter is in the hands of Grandpa Huang, how will Grandpa Huang generally handle it?"

Jiang Yu thought for a while.

"Hard to say!"

"The emperor's handling is more flexible. If the evidence is sufficient, the official sentence will be announced. If the evidence is insufficient, or if it cannot stand scrutiny, they will be let to die in the prison..."

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he immediately thought of a famous saying that the emperor's grandfather once said.

Whatever evidence we want, we just need to doubt!

Grandpa Ganqinghuang is not joking, he really did it!

"Put the irrelevant people back to work first!"

"As for the principal culprit and accessory in this case, let's lock them up first, and wait until I figure out how to deal with them."

"promise!"

Gao Ming and the others wandered around the cell where the officials of the Ministry of War were held, and saw that all the officials of the Ministry of War were intact, without a single injury on their bodies, and no one complained of injustice. people.

But the three of them still couldn't be happy.

Power is like a beast. Once it is released from the cage, it is difficult to lock it in again.

The emperor's grandson is only in his teens now, let him taste the taste of power prematurely, and when he becomes the emperor in the future, what else in this world can restrain him?
When the three of them were full of worries, they saw Jiang Yu walking in.

"Listen, everyone, the grandson of the emperor ordered that only the culprit and the accomplices are involved in this case, and the rest of the military personnel will return to work in the headquarters!"

When the prisoners in the cells on both sides heard this, they all knelt on the ground and praised the emperor's grandson's virtuous name.

"Emperor Grandson's virtuous name!"

"Thank you for the grace of the emperor's grandson not to kill, woo woo woo..."

Gao Ming and the three of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the sound of thanking everyone around them.

It seems that the emperor's grandson didn't want to implicate him wantonly!
This case caused the emperor grandson to suffer such a big loss. If the emperor grandson only punished the chief culprit and a few accomplices, he would have been very restrained.

As soon as Erhu arrived at Beizhen Fusi, he saw a group of military officials helping each other out of the prison.

He hurriedly grabbed a person to inquire.

"what happened?"

"You were released so soon?"

"what!"

"Emperor Taisun Shengming, he said that he only killed the culprit, let us go back to work..."

"No, I want to ask, did you explain it so soon?"

When the military officials heard this, they covered their faces with their sleeves in shame and ran away.

Seeing this, Erhu went to ask others, but no matter who he asked, no one would answer him.

The main reason is that he didn't ask the right question. According to his tone, it seemed that the people from the Ministry of War were too timid and recruited too quickly.

Later, Erhu simply didn't ask these people, but found a few old Jinyiwei who he was familiar with. After some inquiries, Erhu was completely relieved after feeling contempt for the group of people in the Ministry of War.

The emperor grandson's handling is very reasonable, the emperor should be satisfied!
