Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 535 The real murderer behind the scenes
The lantern show in the city was still going on bustlingly, and the tourists did not lose their enthusiasm for playing because it was getting late, and the crowds wandering around the imperial city did not decrease at all.

No one knows what happened outside the city, let alone that the capital of Ming Dynasty has just experienced a catastrophe of life and death.

There were a few inconspicuous tourists in the crowd, first a middle-aged scribe in his 30s, followed by two servants who looked like servants.

Such masters and servants abound in the crowd, and they will not attract anyone's attention at all.

The middle-aged scribe was tall and slender, with a handsome appearance, and he could be seen at a glance as a man who had read a lot of poetry and books.

Like other lantern-appreciating tourists on the street, although the middle-aged man's face is full of praise, there is a hint of disappointment in his eyes from time to time.

The middle-aged scribe, surnamed Fan and given name Wencheng, was the biggest traitor in helping the late Jin Jianguo in history.

In another time and space, the Fan brothers took refuge in Nurhachi very early on, but with the birth of Ye Xun, everything changed.

In this time and space, the Fan Wencheng brothers were persecuted by the guarding eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, so they deeply hated the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, even if Ye Xun came.

In history, Fan Wencheng had foresight and investment, helped Nurhachi and his father to formulate many national policies, and also instigated many generals of the Ming Dynasty.

This method is definitely not easy to use in Ye Xun's time and space, but this person is also very good. He has been observing in secret until Huang Taiji was driven to North Korea, and he secretly approached Huang Taiji. , so that Huang Taiji was shocked as a heavenly man, and he was about to entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

But Fan Wencheng didn't want to be exposed so early, so he and Huang Taiji secretly formulated a series of plans against the Ming Dynasty and Ye Xun, including buying Altan's subordinates this time, and promoting Altan's marriage with Zhu Yuanwailang, etc. The conspiracy is all from him.

According to the previous plan, the insiders in Altan's camp who were bribed by him immediately encouraged Mongolian soldiers to rush into the city to rescue people after Altan was arrested.

Because of the lantern show, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has been designated as the city that never sleeps, and the city gates are not closed.

And as long as the rebellious army enters the city, no matter what their purpose is to attack there, it will inevitably cause panic in the entire capital. At that time, let alone Ye Xun, even the gods will not be able to stop the chaos in the capital.

The plan was not insidious, but also thoughtful enough. The only thing Fan Wencheng didn't expect was that Ye Xun's reaction would be so fast.

Seeing that the night was getting dark, but there was still no movement outside the city, Fan Wencheng knew that the plan had failed, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the eunuch still has his breath!
But it doesn't matter, tomorrow's court meeting depends on how you resolve it?
Soon, these humble masters and servants disappeared into the crowd.

Both Fan Wencheng and Huang Taiji knew that Ye Xun's spies were powerful, so this time when Fan Wencheng came to the Central Plains, not only An Fei Guyan, who arrived earlier, did not know about it, but this guy also deliberately went to Ryukyu by sea boat first, and then went to Jiangnan Landed, and finally came to the capital as a Jiangnan businessman.

In this era, although there are Luyin who can prove their identity, it is too easy for someone like Fan Wencheng to forge it.

That's why this guy can wander around the capital so freely, and his mission is of course more than that. What he most wants to get is the new firearms of the Ming Dynasty.

In Liaodong, following Han Ping and Yuan Liang's subjugation, the line was broken, but Fan Wencheng obviously wouldn't just stop there, and only those who can do what others can't can will show their talents.

It is true that real talents are hard to find, but if there is talent but no virtue, and if the talents are all used to curry favor with foreigners and become hardcore traitors, then there is only one word to describe this person, and that is more than enough to die.

After dawn, Ye Xun went directly to court without even returning home.

Today is the first grand court meeting after the new year, and many major events of the new year will be announced today.

Nowadays, the courtiers are used to the days without the emperor. All the matters are discussed and compiled into a book, and then the cabinet will review and make the final decision.

Everything is in order, and now there is nothing for the emperor in the court, let alone Ye Xun's position.

And if it wasn't for Altan, Ye Xun wouldn't have come.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the reporting eunuch had already gone in to inform the courtiers that Eunuch Ye was coming, but the courtiers in the main hall seemed to be unaware and were still chattering about something.

Ye Xun frowned, although he felt unhappy, but after thinking about the purpose of this trip, he finally endured it.

What happened last night also reminded Ye Xun that no matter what happens, the court will not be in chaos, and no one can take advantage of it.

After standing for a while, still no one came out to talk to Ye Xun, Ye Xun's face turned cold, he snorted softly, then turned around and strode away.

In response to that sentence, some people can't get used to it.

As Ye Xun expected, at the beginning of today's court meeting, the censor impeached Ye Xun for covering up the murderer, and then Shuntian Fu Yin also presented the news received and the conclusions drawn after investigating the scene in court.

The people from the West Factory came later, and Altan was also taken over from the Yamen servants of the Shuntian Mansion. Although the scene was sealed off afterwards, the people of the Shuntian Mansion had already grasped the evidence.

Under normal circumstances, Xichang is very passive, but there is no way, no one can afford to provoke the boss of Xichang!

The one who died was an official's family, and the one who killed was a military general. Shuntian Mansion couldn't control it, so it had to be handed over to a higher level. At this time, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment needed to come forward.

The minister of Dali Temple did not dare to offend Ye Xun, and Wang Yin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, had always been an idiot, so he also wanted to push this matter out. In this case, the officials began to argue.

It can be said that Ye Xun came at the right time, but Altan is his subordinate. Logically, Yang Sichang and other cabinet members should have invited Ye Xun in, but because Ye Xun was suspected of covering Altan, and Yu With the help of officials from the Ministry of History and Rites, Yang Sichang could only choose to leave Ye Xun in the cold.

Ye Xun left, but the quarrel in the hall continued. The censors demanded that the murderer must be severely punished to uphold the law of the country.

Wang Yin and Dali Siqing said that the case had been handed over to Xichang, so they had to trust Ye Gonggong and believe that Ye Gonggong would not bend the law for personal gain.

"Shut up, old man!"

The roar of Yuan Keli, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, finally made the two factions calm down. The one who died was old man Yuan's subordinates. Anyone can argue, but he can't.

After the main hall became quiet, Yuan Keli turned to Yang Sichang and the others, and said in a deep voice: "The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, and Eunuch Ye is the one who upholds the court's laws the most, so there is no need to discuss this matter again. , the Procuratorate, and the three divisions will interrogate, if Eunuch Ye really wants to cover up the murderer, then the old man will sue and return home."

It can be seen that the old man is really angry. You must know that he is only in his 60s, which is the golden age for his career. Without special circumstances, he will not voluntarily leave the court.

Yang Sichang agreed with Yuan Keli's proposal from the bottom of his heart, but subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhang Quan and Yuan Yingtai, and said, "What do you two think of Mr. Yuan's proposal?".
