Three hundred and twentieth chapters bottom
Zhang Yixian heard what Li Ruolian said. Although the emperor was very angry and instructed the Jinyiwei to handle the case strictly, he had the intention of raising it high and letting it go gently. This approach echoed the emperor's usual style of always loving face and not wanting to leave a bad reputation in the scholars. But he wanted to take the opportunity to implicate it, but Li Ruolian himself made a good decision. While he was relieved in his heart, he also threatened with both soft and hard work.
In the common thinking and cognition of Zhang Yixian and even the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom, Li Ruolian publicly clamored to implicate the situation, but in fact he wanted to take the opportunity to extort a huge fortune. In addition to implying that if he was involved too much, there would be a possibility of causing chaos in Jiangnan, he also emphasized that he hoped that the two imperial envoys would handle the market strike impartially. This so-called impartial handling is to end the market strike and not expand it to the top leaders of Nanjing. At that time, the officials and gentry in Nanjing will have generous returns and will cooperate and obey in commercial tax matters.
Li Ruolian smiled slightly and further intimidated: "Zhang Zhenshou may not know anything. The case of Yang Su's instigation of civil unrest is not far from the plot. The confession and evidence are all there, and there are many people behind the scenes. As long as you add a few strokes to the report and submit a few more evidence, what do you think will happen to our emperor after receiving the report? If the imperial edict arrives in Nanjing again, there will be a large army to follow. Under the sharp blade, the downtown Nanjing may be killed! As for what you said It is a disaster that is unpredictable, haha, not to mention the thousands of strong men of the school captains, this time, I brought three hundred cavalry from the capital, and Zhang Zhenshou is also an old man in the palace. You can tell what the most elite of my personal army looks like! As for the Beijing Camp horse team that is accompanied by the constitution, we should say without hesitation that these two hundred horse teams can sweep across the southern Zhili! The constitution has one thing in common with me, that is, I do not value fame and fortune. I have thanked the people of Nanjing for their conscience on this behalf, hahahahaha!"
After hearing this, Zhang Yixian snorted coldly and stopped talking, but looked at Zhao Zhilong, the first person.
Zhao Zhilong, who had been thinking about the meaning of Li Ruochain's words, did not notice the meaning of Zhang Yixian. The people in the hall were pondering, and the scene seemed a little deserted for a moment.
What puzzled Zhao Zhilong was that according to Li Ruolian's rhetoric and tough attitude, if he really wanted to carry out a major purge in Nanjing, then just go and get people. Why do you have to tell the two of them this nonsense? Who should the Jinyiwei have to know others and get the consent of outsiders? Never.
Zhao Zhilong knows the methods of the Jinyiwei. If they want to give you, let alone have evidence, even if there is no evidence, they can create it for you.
Li Ruolian said just now that this case is very close to plotting a rebellion. If a few more strokes are added to the report and then forge some evidence to be sent to the capital, even if the emperor is concerned about his reputation, he will definitely start a massacre once he is involved in plotting a rebellion.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhilong spoke and broke the quiet atmosphere on the court. He stood up and bowed to Li Banghua: "Meng Angong, can you talk with me after taking a step?"
Li Banghua hesitated for a moment and was about to refuse, but when he thought that the other party's identity was there, if he refused, it would be a violation of the rules. In the end, he stood up and followed Zhao Zhilong to the outside of the hall.
"Mengan Angong, my uncle and Zhang Zhenshou are not foreigners. Zhang Zhenshou came from the palace. Needless to say, I am also a relative who is in the same state. I will definitely put the emperor and the Ming Dynasty first in everything. No matter how you deal with this matter, I will stand on the side of the two imperial envoys. Because of this, my uncle wants to listen to the truth from Mengan Angong. How do you two want to deal with this matter before you are satisfied?"
The two of them came to the side outside the house and saw that there was a guard at the gate of the courtyard. There was no one else outside the courtyard. Zhao Zhilong asked earnestly.
Seeing Li Banghua and Li Ruolian's attitude just now, how could he not tell that one of them was a sing-black and the other was a sing-black? Since he had already done a sing-black role, he should make a sing-black appearance now.
Li Banghua paused for a moment and spoke in a deep voice: "Although Li's politician's words were slightly out of the way, as far as I know, it is true that the incident of the civil unrest in the four governments implicated some senior officials in Nanjing. The Li's politician was born as the emperor's personal army, and this time he was also an imperial envoy. If Li's politician insisted on implicating and using this to make meritorious contributions, the official would have no right to restrain him. He could only wait and see what the changes were going on in the capital, but he still didn't know. According to Li's politician, he had submitted his situation and plans to the palace, and the imperial edict might soon arrive in Nanjing!"
Li Banghua's meaning is very clear.
Li Ruolian does have evidence of some officials in Nanjing committing crimes, and they are not controlled by the outside court. If Li Ruolian wants to attract credit, I have no right to stop him. Although I do not agree with his approach, I can only see what the attitude of Nanjing is before deciding whether to mediate from it.
It is not known whether the emperor agrees with Li Ruolian's approach, so he can only wait for news from the capital.
"Since that is the case, then Ben Bo said goodbye to Zhang Zhenshou first. However, Nanjing and the surrounding areas are the most prosperous and stable place in the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, and are also the basis for the court's food and taxes. In fact, we cannot let it go. I hope Meng An Gong puts the overall situation first and must not move lightly!"
Li Banghua nodded slowly. The two returned to the house. After a few simple greetings, Zhang Yixian and Zhao Zhilong said goodbye and left.
At this time, all the main intersections in Nanjing were controlled by the Jinyi Captain. Li Ruolian brought three hundred cavalrymen in a team of thirty people, riding horses to patrol the main streets.
The pedestrians and vendors on the street were shocked by this scene that they had never seen before. After the fright, they all whispered and whispered, guessing what big thing happened.
After a scholar and merchant who had seen the world knew the clothes of these warriors and informed others, everyone realized that these fully armed warriors were Jinyiwei from the capital.
Fortunately, the Jinyiwei who inspected the streets did not harass the pedestrian shops, but only used small flags or teams to warn them. So not long after, the residents and merchants who were originally afraid of them became accustomed to this kind of scene.
However, the main departments and departments such as the Six Ministry of Nanjing were in trouble.
Because there were already figures of Jinyi's lieutenant outside some ministries and officials, many officials with ghosts suddenly became worried and scared.
In the public room of the right assistant minister of the yamen, Xu Wenyuan and Lu Henian, the Wenxuan Qing official department of the Ministry of Personnel, sat opposite each other. The sudden appearance of the Jinyi lieutenant outside the yamen made Xu Wenyuan, who was already worried, completely confused. Lu Henian, who was closest to him, also had a blue-white face, and his usual arrogance disappeared without a trace.
"Shishou, is it that Zhang Zhenshou and Xin Chengbo went to mediation but did not work? Li Meng secretly didn't even give him the face? Otherwise, why did factory guards appear? Could it be that Jiao Yunfeng and others bit the Shishou and the Xiaguanpan? What should I do? Alas!"
Lu Henian was completely lost in his mind, and he was the only scene in his mind where he was arrested and screamed under various tortures after being arrested and sentenced to death.
"Don't panic in Meicun. This matter is not as bad as you think! If the factory guards wanted to take you and me, they would have rushed into the yamen long ago. Why should they be outside the yamen without any hesitation? Zhang Zhenshou and Xin Cheng Boding were secretly bargaining with Li Meng, and the ending might not be so bad, and it is impossible to say!"
Xu Wenyuan's words were not so much to comfort Lu Henian, but what he analyzed made some sense. If the Jinyiwei wanted to take them, he would have rushed in long ago, so he had to wait outside the yamen?
After hearing this, Lu Henian's nervousness and fear were slightly relieved, and his face also recovered a little blood.
"Sir, since they have come, they must have been ordered, but why have they been waiting outside the yamen? What is the reason for such abnormal behavior?"
After a moment of silence, Lu Henian's worries did not fade away, and he still couldn't help asking.
"Meicun, we are well-read books of sages, and we talk about being calm whenever we have a major event. You have been an official for many years, and what kind of big scenes have you never seen? Why are you so impatient? I expect that the truth will be revealed after Zhang Zhenshou and Xin Chengbo return from Li Meng's dark place! Let's wait!"
Xu Wenyuan replied in a slightly impatient tone.
Lu Henian no longer spoke, but thought in his heart how to put the blame on Xu Wenyuan as much as possible if he was really arrested by the Jinyiwei to reduce the punishment he faced.
