high official

Chapter 225 Search
At this time Xu Qianhu woke up and saw that he was in the hands of the inspector, and hurriedly shouted: "Zhou Nengtai, you can't take me!"

"Why can't I take you?" Zhou Xin said coldly.

"Because I have this..." Xu Qianhu pulled out a piece of yellow satin from his bosom as he spoke, and said loudly, "I have an oracle! Officials from all provinces are not allowed to interfere with me without the emperor's approval! Can't be arrested and punished!"

Zhou Xin couldn't help being taken aback, Xu Yingxian's move was really unexpected, he didn't expect this guy to hide such a killer weapon, but the sword has been drawn, how could he return without success, and letting Xu Yingxian go at this time is tantamount to letting go. The tiger returns to the mountain!Thinking of this, Zhou Xin laughed loudly and said: "Well said, I also have an oracle here!" He also took out a yellow satin from his bosom, and said loudly: "I am ordered to inquire about the Zhejiang Thousand Households Office, you As a thousand households, naturally bear the brunt of it!"

"It's just an inquiry, and you are not allowed to arrest me!" Xu Qianhu protested.

"Absurd! The oracle is to guarantee you to act impartially, and never to protect you from committing crimes. Since this department is ordered to investigate, once you are found guilty, it will naturally take care of you for the emperor!" He shouted loudly: " Left and right, take Xu Ying down first and put him under house arrest. I will write a letter to take away his favor, and then go to jail!"

"Here!" The policemen, seeing Jin Yiwei rampant in Hangzhou for several months, had long held back their anger, and now that they were finally able to take him down, they all responded loudly with high spirits.

The Jin Yiwei wanted to go forward to save people, but they were stopped by Master Zhu. Zhu Jiu came from the battlefield. When he saw these arresters, he knew that they were not ordinary people, but elite soldiers no less than his own soldiers. The morale is high, and the arrow is on the string. If Jin Yiwei insists on taking people away, he will inevitably hit the iron plate.

Seeing that Xu Qianhu was pushed down, Zhu Jiu couldn't lose the battle. He glared at Zhou Xin with a livid face and said, "Zhou Jietai is so powerful! Do you want to take me down too!"

"Zhu Qianhu was joking." Now that his face has been torn apart, Zhou Xin no longer pretends to be condescending with him, and said coldly, "You are an imperial envoy investigating the case, what should I do with you?!"

"Hum," Zhu Jiu snorted angrily, "I have learned your way today, and I will surely reap rewards in the future!" As he spoke, he gave a heavy blow of luck, and unexpectedly split the sturdy desk in half with a click!This iron sand palm stunned everyone in the hall.

Zhu Jiu took the cloak, stared at Zhou Xin fiercely, and shouted: "Go back to the Qianhu House!" Then he turned around and led the crowd to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Zhou Xin called out.

Zhu Jiu thought he had frightened him, so he turned his head and stared at Zhou Xin coldly, waiting for his next words.

"Master Jiu can go wherever he wants, but before the official has checked the Qianhu Office," Zhou Xin said slowly, "You can't go back to the Qianhu Office."

"You, good! Good! That's great!" Zhu Jiu's black face turned into a white face in anger, and then turned into a red face: "It's been a good week, I think you are not far from death! Let's go!"

Watching Jin Yiwei withdraw, all the officials and soldiers in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, many of them sat down on the ground. In the 46th year since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, this was the first time that there was a yamen, and they dared to fight with Jin Yiwei!
Although they were afraid for a while, everyone still felt very proud. They have boasted in this life...

.

The news that Zhou Niantai seized the Qianhu Office and detained Xu Qianhu immediately caused a sensation in the whole city.The ravaged people of Hangzhou thought they had finally come to the dawn, cheered and rushed to tell each other, but they were naturally grateful to Zhou Jietai, who was in charge of the people.They beat gongs and drums, carried plaques of "Jiemin Upside Down" and "Blue Sky Mirror", and came to the gate of the Neisi Yamen, asking to see Zhou Xin to express their gratitude.

However, only a deputy envoy came out from the procuratorate, and he spoke to the people on Zhou Xin's behalf: "It is the obligatory duty of the procuratorate to ask for orders for the people and punish lawbreakers. The kindness of all the adults is accepted by the hearts of the adults in Taiwan, but the adults have already left thousands of households." After checking the criminal evidence, I can't come out to meet you. Please go home.Living and working in peace and contentment, with fewer incidents, is the best reward for adults in Taiwan. The people dispersed reluctantly.

Of course Zhou Xin would not lie, he is in Lu Yuanzhong right now, he has put a thousand people in prison for nothing, and ordered people to interrogate them carefully.At the same time, he personally stared at the highlight - the search for stolen goods.He purposely borrowed more than a dozen planners from the chief secretary's yamen, and ordered people to move out all the gold, silver, jewels, jade brocades from the warehouses, and counted and recorded them in the yard, which took a full day and a half!

I really don’t know if I don’t check it. I’m shocked when I check it. The value of all kinds of gold, silver, treasures, and land deeds can be estimated as high as 600 million taels. In three months, such a terrifying number was found. If they were allowed to continue to wreak havoc, the land in Hangzhou City would not be wiped clean!
In addition to the search list, the confessions of those white servants also came out... They are just some local ruffians who have settled down in a shabby house. Compared with those charges, Xu Yingxian's confession is not required to convict him!
According to Fanzi's confession, the officials also unearthed more than a dozen corpses from the lotus pond in the backyard, some of which sank only a few days ago, and their faces were clearly recognizable.After an autopsy, each corpse was subjected to inhuman torture, which was also the cause of their death.

After two days of investigation, the criminal evidence piled up like a mountain. Zhou Xin couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he was angry.

But Zhou Xin also wanted to obtain Xu Yingxian's confession, so that the case could be settled.However, no matter how hard he presented the ironclad evidence in front of him, Xu Yingxian was like a gourd, not saying a word.Xu Ying was a high-ranking official of Jin Yiwei, and he had an imperial decree to protect him. Before there was no decree, Zhou Xin would not dare to torture him. The two sides froze for a day, but there was still no progress.

At this time, people around him reminded him that after Zhu Jiu left, there had been no movement, and he was afraid that he was plotting something.Zhou Xincai suddenly woke up, and he was indeed a little careless. In today's plan, time is the key, not to strive for perfection. He hurriedly wrote the case into a memorial overnight, and sent it to the capital with an imperial envoy for [-] miles, and then waited anxiously for a reply. .

One afternoon three days later, Zhou Xin was dealing with the return of the property seized by the Jinyiwei. Zhou Tai came to report, and the capital was eight hundred miles away urgently!

"Oh?" Zhou Xin's brows were frowned into a Sichuan character, and he had only sent out the report for three days, how could he get a reply so soon?Suppressing the surprise in his heart, he hurried to the front to receive the letter, which turned out to be an imperial decree.Hurriedly set up an incense table, received the order, and after a lot of work, I saw the content above.

It's very short, with only one line of words 'Zhou Xinjie Xu Yingjin Beijing. There is no inscription and no time, but Zhou Xin recognized at a glance that this is the correct imperial pen of Emperor Yongle, and quickly said that he complied with the decree, and carefully kept the decree.Also, if he casually asked the messenger when he set off, how was the weather on the way?

The messenger did not doubt that he was there, so he told the truth that he set off two days ago and was delayed for half a day due to heavy rain on the way.After Zhou Xin finished listening, he said it was hard, so he asked Zhou Tai to take him down for a meal and rest.

As soon as the messenger left, Zhou Xin slumped on the chair... This messenger left two days ago, and the messenger he sent was still on the way two days ago!Therefore, this decree definitely did not come from his own report, so there is only one possibility——Zhu Jiu's villain will sue first!

"How can I make such a low-level mistake..." Zhou Xin was very distressed. If he hadn't forced Xu Yingxian's confession, he could have sent the report to the capital one day earlier, before the decree was issued!Things will definitely get better!
But things have come to this point, no matter what the situation is, they can only face it.Zhou Xin cheered up and meditated on the evidence in his hand. He felt that it would not be a problem to join Xu Yingxian, and no one could intercede for him!
The only thing I was worried about was Zhu Jiu's previous threat - accusing him of colluding with Jianwen, if the emperor believed it, it would be a bad thing!
If he is completely innocent, Zhou Xin has nothing to worry about. After all, the emperor is a wise king, and it is impossible to listen to one-sided words and just ignore it.But he had something that he couldn't do for the king - when he learned that Tang Yun was going to mobilize the fleet and annihilate the Zheng family at sea, he was the one who asked Zhou Tai to rush back to Hangzhou in the starry night, and released a special fake from the jail. Zhang, the sage of the master, ordered him to forge Tang Yun's transfer order, and transferred the Zhejiang navy away from Qiantangkou, so that the Zheng family's fleet escaped.

After Tang Yun found out that he had been tricked, he didn't say anything, but still reported to the emperor that the task was completed.This was already expected by Zhou Xin... Emperor Yongle ruled the army strictly, and the dignified Zhejiang navy was sent around with a forged warrant. If there was a war, he would die without knowing how .

Once the report is made, Tang Yun, the capital of Zhejiang Province, will be done. So even though he is full of anger, Uncle Tang thinks clearly about the pros and cons, and will endure it.What's more, there is no place to check in the vast sea, and the Zheng family has gone forever, so why not just treat them as dead and settle the matter once and for all?

Tang Yun's reaction was as expected, and he did not make a fuss, which is why Zhou Xin dared to do this.However, he has worked in the judicial department for more than 20 years, and he knows the truth of "If you want people to know, you can't do anything unless you do it yourself". If someone has doubts about Tang Yunlai, he can still ask the truth from the Zhejiang Navy!
It's just that under the circumstances at that time, the lives of thousands of members of the Zheng family were hanging by a thread. Although Zhou Xin was known as a cold-faced man, he still had a long heart, and he had been taught for half his life. How could he just sit idly by?So there is no choice at all...

'Could it be that Zhu Jiu already knew the truth! As soon as Zhou Xin touched his forehead, it was covered with sweat, and he couldn't help sighing, he didn't expect that he would have a guilty conscience one day.

In fact, just do it, there is nothing to regret, even if it takes my own life, so what?But at this juncture, if the other party uses this matter to make a comeback, let alone give up all previous efforts, I am afraid that there will be no one who can cure Jin Yiwei...
