Idle courtiers

Chapter 155 I Like Your Helpless Look
"Ah!" Everyone gasped in their hearts, knowing what Jin Yiwei was here for.

Jin Yiwei, the secret service agency of the Ming Dynasty, was directly responsible to the emperor, and could not take any legal means to arrest criminals and conduct interrogation.

The person in charge of Jinyiwei is the commander of the third rank, and there are two commanders from the third rank, Tongzhi, and two commanders from the fourth rank.

In addition to the commanding envoy's office, Jin Yiwei also has two institutions under it, the North Town Fusi and the South Town Fusi, commonly known as the Beiya and the Nanya, and the chief is the Zhenfushi.

Nanzhen Fusi is responsible for internal affairs and discipline, which is equivalent to the military police.

The Beizheng Fusi is in charge of the prison.

This Zhu Lun turned out to be the governor of Bei Ya, with such a high rank, he suddenly came to Huai'an today, obviously to handle the imperial case.

The prefect of Song paled in shock, and hurriedly said, "What does Master Zhu want to ask me?"

Zhu Lun smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, Ding Qiguang, the magistrate of Shanyang County, published a book last month, impeaching all the officials of Huai'an Prefecture for embezzling 20 taels of silver from Mohegong. Is there such a thing?"

Zhou Nan was shocked when he finished speaking.He originally thought that the imperial court's imperial envoy would enter the city today, at least he would be an old-fashioned and imposing envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.But he didn't want to be the young inspector in front of him.Not only did Song Zhifu and the others get caught off guard, but even himself, the client, was kept in the dark. This person is scheming.

No, isn't Zhu Lun a Jinshi?As a civil servant, it is quite strange how he transferred to the military post to be the governor of Jinyiwei.

Hearing that the incident of 20 taels of Hegong silver had happened, all the participating officials present were blinded, feeling a sense of imminent disaster.A man as old as Peng Tong, his legs softened and he fell to the ground.

Some timid ones even started to cry softly, regardless of their dignity.

Then everyone pointed at the Shanyang county government next door and yelled: "Ding thief, Ding thief, you are trying to make my government's yamen full!"

"Villain, despicable villain!"

"Ding thief, we are at odds with you!"

Song Kongdang was also a speech officer before, and he didn't know how many cases he had handled. According to later generations, he had rich experience in anti-reconnaissance methods.He naturally knew that it was difficult to lead a team when people's hearts were scattered.

I'm afraid that Zhu Lun will interrogate the relevant people in isolation later, and it will be troublesome if everyone's confession is not correct when the confession is made.

The most important thing now is to stabilize the morale of the army and unify the caliber.

Immediately, he looked back at the officials and shouted sharply: "All of you are staggering, like a mourning test, and a harmonious system? What is the matter with the silver, don't everyone still know? The clean will be clear, and the turbid will be clear. Zhuo, we have a clear conscience, so there is nothing to be afraid of. The old man will give you an explanation, the sky is falling, and my lord will hold on."

After finishing speaking, he made a gesture of invitation: "Master Zhu, please come into the Yamen to speak."

Soon, all the officials gathered in the hall, and Zhu Lun ordered his subordinates to seal off the halls and cut off traffic as usual.For a time, the government office was full of soldiers, shiny weapons and pale faces of officials.

Zhu Lun's face was full: "Okay, let's start asking questions."

Song Kongdang bowed to the ground: "Song Kongdang respectfully invites Shengan."

"Sheng Gong'an." Zhu Lun: "I ask you, is it true that Ding Qiguang, the magistrate of Shanyang County, embezzled 20 taels of Mohe workers' silver?"

"It's not true." Song Kongdang flatly denied it.

Julien: "Speak."

Song Kongdang, as an outsider of the strict party, naturally knew the final whereabouts of the money, and he was naturally not afraid in his heart, saying: "The imperial court allocated 30 taels of silver, and finally spent 11 taels on Hegong. The remaining 19, Among them, 9 taels were sent to Beijing. The other [-] taels were used to resettle the people and send silver to Beijing. There is an account book as a proof/"[-] taels were privately distributed by officials, which is equivalent to operating expenses and is also an officialdom. custom, and no one takes it seriously.

"As for where the 10 taels of silver sent to the capital ended up in the account, His Majesty can check."

"I will investigate." Zhu Lun smiled: "Okay, the question has been finished, Song Zhifu can get up. This matter is well known by Junfu, and I will not make things difficult for you. Otherwise, who will dare to act honestly in the future You write a self-defense note, and I can bring it back to the capital so that I can do business."

He cupped his hands again: "Futai, I've offended you just now when I interrogated the emperor on behalf of the emperor."

He felt embarrassed again, and the two apple muscles on his face turned into red Fuji.

Hearing his words, Zhifu Song and the others let out a long sigh of relief, and all smiles appeared on their faces.Just now Zhu Lun came aggressively, but as a result, the board was lifted high, and finally fell gently.

Just kidding, as Julen said.We are trying to make money for the emperor, if we have to take the blame for this, what is the reason for it?

Zhou Nan nodded silently watching from below, and thought: Sure enough, if you want to move to Song Zhifu as an official just by embezzling Hegong money, it is undoubtedly a daydream.Fortunately, I knew the whereabouts of the money in advance, and I was not fooled by him.Otherwise, he would have been killed by that ambitious and stupid old man.

Song Kongdang said solemnly: "Master Zhu's duty is, how dare I complain. Fortunately, I can return my innocence. Even if I die, I will rest in peace."

At this time, Xiong Ren suddenly took a step forward and shouted: "Commander Zhu, the lower officials want to impeach the magistrate of Shanyang County for neglecting political affairs and being mediocre. Because of old grievances with the lord of the government, he framed the upper official. This old man is barking wildly. , despicable character, if you don't get rid of it, how will people be convinced?"

"I want to impeach the county magistrate of Shanyang." Peng Tongzhi also stepped forward.

"Senior officials." Immediately, officials from various ministries came out one after another.For a time, the sound of shouting, beating, and killing was endless.

Zhu Lun was obviously taken aback by the turbulent public opinion, and waved his hands again and again: "This, this, you should go directly to the Imperial Envoy's Platform according to the court's rules. It is not appropriate for our Jinyi pro-army to deal with it, it is not appropriate... Song Futai, look at this." There was actually a look in his eyes asking for help.

What a brat, I don't know how to be a pacifier.Song Kong was amused in his heart, and shouted to all the officials: "Whatever the trouble is, everyone is quiet. The court knows the grievances we bear, and you have to trust your father. After the official is finished, I will publish an impeachment book. You can read it in the report joint name."

"The officer is willing."

"The next official would like to join hands."

……

Song Kong was so happy that he and Ding Qiguang had been fighting for a lifetime.This man surnamed Ding was so lucky to die, but the investigation of greedy ink actually found the head of the emperor. This is the old birthday star who eats arsenic - impatient to live.

The revenge is rewarded, refreshing, refreshing!

At this time, a guard in brocade clothes came over and whispered something in Zhu Lun's ear.

"Okay, everyone be quiet." Zhu Lun raised his head and said shyly to the officials after listening.

It's a pity that his voice was too low, and there was too much noise in the lobby, but no one could hear him.

Song Kongdang shouted: "Everyone be quiet." When everyone stopped talking, he smiled and said to Zhu Lun: "Master Zhu, please speak."

Zhu Lun blushed again: "Prefect Song, you just said, 'Even if I die, I can rest in peace.' Uh, you can indeed rest in peace."

The voice was very funny, but it fell into Song Kongdang's ears like thunder: "What is the meaning of Master Zhu's words?"

Zhu Lun: "What I mean is, this time I'm afraid my lord may not survive."

"what!"

Zhu Lun was gentle and gentle, and said word by word: "Last month No. 11, Mr. Song and the daughter of a certain sixth-rank military officer surnamed Yang in Bozhou swam the canal together. The woman surnamed Yang fell into the water and died. Mr. Song mobilized Xiaoling Wei Jiangpu soldiers and horses closed the waterway, is this true?"

Song Kongdang's face suddenly turned pale.

Zhu Lun continued in a low voice: "Actually, it's just a small case. Someone died and lost money. If the Yang family doesn't pursue this matter, it will be over. You are afraid that this matter will be brought to the bottom of the case, and your political opponents will find out. Impeachment. After all, this matter involves the policy of the feudal town and the imperial court. But whenever this happens, the imperial court will comfort the Tusi feudal town. At that time, you, the magistrate, will not be able to do it. For an official position, you will lose your life No. Master Song, you are not wise!"

"Master Song, I ask you, what is Xiaolingwei?"

Song Kongdang looked ashamed and gritted his teeth.

Xiong Ren said loudly: "Zhu Zhenfu is just a hundred households."

"What kind of attitude do you have? How can you talk to me like that." Zhu Lun smiled and shook his head: "Slap!"

A wrestler rushed forward, picked up the wooden waist row and slammed it down.Poor Xiong Ren's face was bruised and swollen, his skin was torn after two signs, and his face was bleeding.

Zhu Lun still said gently: "I want you to know that the Xiaoling Guard is the emperor's own army. What is the emperor's own army? Only the emperor can mobilize it. A magistrate dares to mobilize the imperial forest army. What do you want to do? Rebellion? Yes That night, many of the officials present were still involved in this matter, and they all had to be brought back to the capital for interrogation. Today, Zhu can only be offended!"

The word "rebellion" spit out from his mouth, Song Kongdang shouted: "I am wronged, I am wronged!"

"Do you want evidence?" Zhu Lun let out a long laugh suddenly: "Please ask Zhizhi County to bring someone in."

As soon as the words finished, Zhan Tong came in with Master Zhan in high spirits, behind him were Lin Ada and Lin Aer.

The Lin brothers held a heavily tied military officer in their hands.

As soon as the officer saw Song Kongdang, he hissed and shouted: "Prefect Song, you killed me. Imperial envoy, imperial envoy, I would like to testify that Song Kongdang is plotting wrongdoing, spare your life, spare your life!"

With two "plops", Song Kongdang lost his strength, his eyes went dark, and he collapsed to the ground.

Zhu Lun took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to the secretary next to him: "Arrest people according to the list, and don't miss anyone."

With a roar, Jin Yiwei rushed forward.One by one, arrest the relevant criminals one by one.

In a blink of an eye, no one escaped from the magistrate to the co-prefect, and then to the officials who were promoted, experienced, and trained.

There were only a dozen or so governors standing alone in the hall.

Next came the interrogation.

Zhu Lun returned to his shy expression again: "Zhan Zhi County, the government office cannot be left alone for a day, you take care of it first! Who is Zhou Nan?"

Zhou Nan stepped forward: "I have seen Zhenfu."

Zhu Lun: "You assist the prefect of Zhan County to maintain the order of the government office, so as to prevent troubles from people with ulterior motives. The new prefect and other officials are on the way and will take office in a few days. Beauty. You and Zhanzhi County have reported disobedience, and the court has another order, so it is probably on the way."

"It's you, surnamed Zhou, so it's you, even if I'm a ghost, I can't spare you, a villain!" Xiong Ren's face was covered in blood, and he looked like a ghost.

Zhou Nan was not afraid, and he was upright, as if Hai Rui Hai Qingtian came personally: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone can punish them!"

After finishing speaking, he whispered in Xiong Ren's ear: "Your face is not from being drunk, but from me hitting you. Are you very angry now, very angry. I just like you who don't like me but And helpless."
