Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 579 It Was You
Wang Yin has been in a bad mood recently, and there are many reasons for it, such as what happened around him, and news from Jiangnan that can bother him.

Liao Chenglong, the censor of the right capital of the Inspectorate, was immoral after drinking and accidentally killed a few people. He has been invited by Xichang to drink tea.

Hearing this news, not to mention Wang Yin's disbelief, the entire court was in an uproar.

Anyone can see that this is an intentional crime. Besides, even if Liao Chenglong made a mistake, there are Shuntian Mansion and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. What's the matter with your Xichang arresting people without authorization?

For this reason, Fang Zhenru has sent someone to Xichang to ask for someone, but Xichang's reply is also very simple, we have no right to release him because Eunuch Ye is not here.

Fang Zhenru's nose was almost out of breath when he heard this. You can't let him go without Eunuch Ye. If Eunuch Ye can't, how can you arrest him privately?
At present, Fang Zhenru has joined several important ministers to write to Ye Xun, asking Ye Xun to give an explanation.

Old man Fang is not stupid. Beginning with Yang Sichang and others, no matter the capital or the south of the Yangtze River, there is an undercurrent of falling leaves, and Liao Chenglong has always been the vanguard against Ye Xun. His sudden arrest is likely to be Because of this.

However, Liao Chenglong is a subordinate of his inspectorate, and old man Fang, as the boss of the inspectorate, must have this attitude.

It stands to reason that it is enough for old man Fang to worry about these things, but Wang Yin still feels a little crisis, because he is also a person with secrets.

The foundation of the Donglin Party in the south of the Yangtze River has been completely eradicated. Xichang, Jinyiwei, and detectives are everywhere, arresting people related to the Donglin Party.

Although the Donglin Party has withdrawn from the capital, there are many people who were closely related to the Donglin Party before. With the sound of arrests, the seemingly calm capital has become turbulent in the dark. Many officials have even found Wang Yin, hoping to Wang Yineng spoke in front of Ye Gonggong.

Why did they look for Wang Yin instead of Yuan Yingtai and Zhang Quan? That's because those two old fellows simply don't want to get in. It's more difficult for them to obstruct Ye Gonggong's actions than to kill them.

But Wang Yinze is different, he has always been a good old man who knows everything, even in front of Eunuch Ye.

Returning from the Chaohui to the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, before he could enter, one of his subordinates came over.

He whispered: "My lord, Gao Ren, the head of the Xichang stall, is waiting in the lobby."

Hearing the servant's words, Wang Yin frowned immediately, and his steps became heavy all of a sudden.

But Wang Yin also knew that this Gao Ren didn't come to arrest him, otherwise they wouldn't have met in this situation.

After walking a few steps, there was another rush of footsteps behind him. Looking back, it was a confidant old family member.

"Master, Bohou Ying of Xiangcheng committed suicide at home."

Before Wang Yin could ask any questions, the old family members approached him and whispered.

After hearing what the old family said, Wang Yin was stunned again.

This Hou Ying was the empress who had been blackmailed by Ye Xun from his son when Ye Xun was cleaning up the emperor's relatives.

However, ever since he was tricked by Ye Xun, he seemed to disappear from people's eyes.

It's just that no one knew that Earl Hou, who was born in a military family, never let go of his hatred for Ye Xun one day, but he did it more secretly.

But there were very few people who knew about it, and Wang Yin happened to be one of them. That's why Hou Ying was so stunned when he heard that he committed suicide at home.

Turning his head to look in the direction of the lobby, an ominous premonition suddenly surged in Wang Yin's heart. It was obvious that people from the West Factory would not come to him for no reason.

In the lobby, Gao Ren crossed his legs and looked contented. Whoever used what subordinates, even Gao Ren's expression was a bit like Ye Xun's who wanted to be beaten.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Gao Ren hurriedly stood up, gave a deep salute to Wang Yin who walked in expressionlessly, and said, "I've seen Wang Shangshu!"

Wang Yin nodded, walked slowly to his seat and sat down, and then said: "I don't know why the high-ranking head came to my criminal department?"

Gao Ren looked around and said: "Master Wang, can you let the left and right back down first, I have a few words that are inconvenient for others to listen to?"

Wang Yin didn't expect Gao Ren to make this request, so he frowned, and finally waved his hand to let the servants who were waiting on him back out.

"To make a long story short, I still have a lot of work to do"

"Don't worry, it won't take Mr. Wang too long."

Gao Ren didn't need Wang Yin to give way when he said that, he sat back on the chair by himself, and then said in a daze: "Master Wang is exquisite in all aspects in the court. It is true that Mr. Wang is a roly-poly in the officialdom. After several turbulences in the imperial court, Mr. Wang has not been affected in the slightest. It cannot but be said that Mr. Wang is wise enough."

"What exactly do you want to say? Are you here to entertain me with these words? I'm afraid you are not qualified enough"

Wang Yin's face also turned cold, the more Gao Ren babbled, the more uncertain he felt.

"Hehe! Don't be impatient, Mr. Wang. We'll get to the point soon."

Gao Ren was like a cat playing with a mouse. He looked at Wang Yin with a joking expression and continued: "In the eyes of everyone, a tumbler in the officialdom and a scumbag should have a status, right? The highest leader of the Xingming Society in Beijing, Am I right, Lord Wang?"

Wang Yin looked at Gao Ren, and after a while, he showed his face and said with a smile: "What proof does Gao Gao have for saying that? If not, it's a frame-up. Don't blame me for going to Eunuch Ye to sue you."

Gao Ren shrugged his shoulders and said: "Master Wang is very clear in his heart. If there is evidence, I am not here to talk to you. The purpose of my coming today is to tell you, don't think that you can deceive you because you are good at pretending." Everyone, I believe that after reading my report, Eunuch Ye will think the same as me. Wang Ping and Liao Chenglong are waiting for you in the imperial prison. You must not be scared like Hou Ying. Farewell!"

After Gao Ren finished speaking, he actually got up and left.

In fact, including when he came here, Gao Ren didn't dare to finally confirm that Wang Yin was the ghost, because this guy is really good at acting.

Similar to what Ye Xun thought, after the incident in Daming Mansion, Gao Ren also thought that there must be a high-ranking official in the court secretly manipulating it, otherwise the matter could not have been covered up so tightly.

Yang Sichang and Yuan Keli had already fallen. Although Fang Zhenru didn't like Ye Xun very much, old man Fang was an upright person who would say whatever he had and would not do such a thing behind Ye Xun's back.

As Fang Zhenru's deputy, Liao Chenglong is capable of covering up the truth, but he alone is not enough, he needs a helper, and the official position of this helper cannot be lower than him.

Based on this analysis, there are only a handful of high-ranking officials who are still active in the court, and it is impossible for old man Fang. Yuan Yingtai and Zhang Quan are Ye Xun's direct subordinates, so it seems that there is no one else.

It's not that there are no officials who are higher than Wang Yin's official position, but most of them are nobles with positions but no powers, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice is a powerful faction.

In fact, Gao Ren came today for the purpose of probing. At worst, he would be scolded by Eunuch Ye later, and if he really dug out this cancer, it would definitely be the greatest reward for Eunuch Ye.

Through the conversation just now, Gao Ren can already confirm that this grass-like Wang Shangshu is the cancer hidden deepest in Beijing.
