Is Yan Song really that poisonous?

Maybe there is, maybe there isn't.

Many times, people are selfish, and this selfishness is not only reflected in actions, but also in thought.

Yan Song should not think that he is too poisonous in his heart, because his purpose is not to attract wolves into the house and make people miserable in the southeast coast. His purpose is to control the entire southeast, thereby controlling overseas trade and making huge profits.

As for the losses caused by pirates and Japanese pirates burning, killing and looting along the coast, in his opinion, it may be a trivial matter, and there is no poison or non-toxicity.

Many people are like this, just care about their own interests and don’t consider the life or death of others at all.

Of course, regardless of whether Yan Song thinks he is poisonous or not, in the impression of a number of Zhejiang officials, he is already so poisonous.

This time the arrest of Luo Longwen and public interrogation were deliberately arranged by Yang Cong, and his target was Yan Song.

Originally, after Wang Zhi surrendered, he was going to ask the court to make Wang Zhi the general officer of the Zhejiang Navy. However, when Wang Zhi talked about Luo Longwen's affairs, his thoughts changed again.

He found that this was a good opportunity, an opportunity to frame Yan Song.

Of course, in a strict sense, this is not a frame-up, because the raging incident between pirates and Japanese pirates on the southeast coast was originally caused by Yan Song. If Yan Song had not used the sea ban to deceive Wang Zhi into organizing pirates and Japanese pirates to rob the southeast coast, such a tragic incident would not have happened at all.

Although Yan Song accidentally caused the people in the southeast coast to live in poverty, the people in the southeast coast suffered a lot because of his greed.

Jiajing is still in the dark now. It just seems that the pirates and Japanese pirates rampage on the southeast coast are just like before. They are caused by the greed of pirates and Japanese pirates, and have nothing to do with Yan Song.

Of course, Yang Cong would not let Yan Song "get away from justice". No matter what, he would also let Yan Song, the culprit, suffer a little.

Therefore, he decided to catch Luo Longwen first, and to take Yan Song all the rampage of pirates and Japanese pirates on the southeast coast, and then report to the court that Wang Zhi surrendered.

Wang Zhi originally didn't want to follow Yang Cong to Hangzhou because he was afraid that he would not be able to get out as soon as he entered Yangzhou Prefecture. After all, he was not very familiar with Yang Cong, so who knew if Yang Cong had implicated him in the trap.

However, Yang Cong's words changed his mind.

Yang Cong said that the crime of pirates and Japanese pirates coming to the southeast coast to burn, kill, loot, and if he surrendered to the court with this charge, the court would most likely not accept it.

This is indeed true, because the losses caused by pirates and Japanese pirates on the southeast coast this time were too great, and the casualties of civilians alone were tens of thousands. If one life was paid for one life, it would not be enough for him to die ten thousand times.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Yang Cong advised him to put all the shit pots that organized pirates and Japanese pirates to rob the southeast coast on Yan Song's head!

In this way, he would not have much guilt. After all, as long as he put all the shit pot on Yan Song's head, he would become a robbery in the southeast coast according to Yan Song's order. He would not be considered a culprit, but he could only be considered a minion. There would be no problem with accepting the requisition.

Of course, he didn't want to be charged with organizing pirates and Japanese pirates to burn, kill and loot the southeast coast. This was not his original intention. He just misunderstood that Yan Song would force the court to reopen the maritime ban, so he recruited all other pirates and Japanese pirates.

Who knew that Yan Song had never thought about reopening the sea ban, and the other pirates and Japanese pirates were reluctant to give up easily after they tasted the sweetness, and they couldn't handle it now.

He really doesn't want to take the blame, and he has never done anything that is harmful to the world. So, for his own "innocence", he came with a tough bullet.

It seemed that Yang Cong was reviewing and answering. In fact, the confessions he gave were considered in advance by Yang Cong. He just "answer" in this court according to the script.

His confession revealed that the organization of pirates and Japanese pirates to burn, kill and loot the southeast coast seemed to have nothing to do with him. This matter was organized and planned by Yan Song, at least so what the Zhejiang officials present thought.

However, this is not Yang Cong's ultimate goal. Whether Zhejiang officials believe this matter is not the focus, and whether Jiajing believes this matter is the focus.

Therefore, after the interrogation, he did not sentence Luo Longwen on the spot. He just ordered Luo Longwen to sign a letter on the confession and draw a ban, and then ordered someone to take Luo Longwen down.

Luo Longwen was probably desperate. After Wang Zhi came in, he never said a word. Even if the confession Wang Zhi gave was a little different from reality, he didn't say anything. He might think he was dead. If he argued, he would just be more beaten and suffer some flesh and blood. Why bother?

This is also the reason why Yang Cong was beaten up when he was caught without any discrimination at the beginning. Yang Cong just wanted to beat him so hard that he dared not speak!

After Luo Longwen took over, the matter was not over yet.

Yang Cong pretended to check his confession carefully, then picked up his pen and signed it solemnly after the confession: Chief judge, Right Censor of the Censorate, Assistant Minister of War, Governor of Zhejiang, Yang Cong.

Immediately afterwards, he wrote the word "jury" behind.

Then, he recruited senior officials from the Third Department of Zhejiang and asked them to sign their official positions and names, and then solemnly put away the confession.

This confession is the key. Even if you can't beat Yan Song down, it's enough for this guy to have a drink.

This time he was also willing to do so. Anyway, he had already faced Yan Song head-on when he took office as the governor of Zhejiang Zhi. Even if he didn't take action, Yan Song would definitely deal with him. It would be better to act first and do something cruel to Yan Song.

The two of them had officially begun, so Yang Cong certainly did not dare to take it lightly. Not only did he prepare a confession, he also wrote a memorial in person, asking Wang Zhi to be appointed as the general of the Zhejiang Navy, and told him about what happened in the southeast.

He also put some effort into this memorial. In his "description", Wang Zhi was just a relatively influential maritime merchant. He was not a pirate or a Japanese pirate at all. There was definitely no problem in recruiting Wang Zhi. Moreover, the matter of Luo Longwen was reported by Wang Zhi, and Wang Zhi was also a meritorious service.

At the same time, he also mentioned in the memorial that he had asked Wang Zhi to recruit other pirates, but because he was not Yan Song's confidant, the other pirates did not sell their accounts and refused to stop.

This is also trying to snatch Yan Song's shit. Yan Song will definitely not admit this in front of Jiajing. In other words, Yan Song will not "order" to stop other pirates and Japanese pirates, so Yan Song will also have to take the blame for the other pirates and Japanese pirates' continued trouble.

After the memorial was written, he wrote a secret letter to Lu Bing. After all, he explained it. All preparations were made. Only then did he let Chen Lian make arrangements to send the confession, memorial and secret letter to the capital through the special channels of the Jinyiwei, eight hundred miles to the capital to send it to Lu Bing. At the same time, he also arranged dozens of Jinyiwei, riding a fast horse, and secretly took Luo Longwen to the capital.
