Chapter 138: Sneak into the night with the wind
Jinyiwei Zhaozhu.
"Don't worry, as long as you enter our imperial prison, even the stone man must speak."
Luo Sigong said with a smile.
Luo Zhangyin attached great importance to the case of openly assassinating Yang Tongzhi, and even came to the imperial prison in person to instruct strict investigations and to dig out the behind-the-scenes commanders. These thieves were simply crazy. Especially when they were still using weapons, the big wind-chasing gun also had an uncleaned mark on the Ministry of Works, which means that this was the standard weapon of the official army...
This is very serious.
The most common firearms are hidden in private, but the most common weapon of the army is a death sentence.
"Then let it go to Mr. Luo!"
Yang Xin said with a smile.
While speaking, he looked around. There were not many prisoners in the empty prison. Many of the torture instruments seemed to have not been used for a long time, but were covered with dust. Although the grass was a bit exaggerated, there were indeed a few clusters of weeds in the yard outside, growing vigorously in this place that was said to be hell on earth to pursue the sun above his head. By the way, this is the scary Jinyiwei Zhaozhu. If you can manage the Jinyiwei to this extent, it is no wonder that Luo Zhangyin has the best stroke among court officials and even his son is popular among civil officials.
As for the four assassins and the big wind-chasing gun, they were handed over to the Beiya. Yang Xin said goodbye to Luo Sigong and left the imperial prison that ruined the three views.
As soon as he arrived outside the door, Xu Xianchun's subordinate came over and handed him a piece of paper.
"Nothing looks unusual."
Yang Xin looked at the paper.
"Yang Tongzhi, this person is a relative of Wang An's confidant Cao Huachun. After seeing Wang Wenyan, he went to see Cao Huachun, and Wang Wenyan went to see Yang Lian."
The Jinyiwei said, pointing to a name.
"They also began to be careful, not openly connected like they did in the past!"
Yang Xin sneered.
This is nothing strange.
Yang Lian and others could not let Tianqi know that there was a conspiracy between them and Wang An. If they had not been so vigilant about Tianqi before this, but now His Majesty the Emperor has revealed his true form, and Xu Xianchun's joining means that the emperor has also mastered some of the secret spies.
What's more, there is Fang Congzhe.
Fang Congzhe made a mistake before and almost lost all the game. Now he has relied on Yang Xin to make a comeback, so he will not be able to become the current prime minister if he doesn't act.
In short, they must be careful not to let Fang Congzhe and the emperor seize the handle of collusion.
But Yang Lian and Wang An must meet.
They didn't really trust each other. To a certain extent, Yang Lian sold Wang An and they took advantage of Wang An. But in the end, when Wang An needed them to grit their teeth, they chose to retreat and led to Wang An becoming cannon fodder. If they wanted to continue to cooperate, they must regain mutual trust, so they and the middleman Wang Wenyan must meet...
"The good show is tonight!"
Yang Xin sneered at the setting sun in the sky.
One hour later.
He had already disappeared into the darkness and watched Wang Wenyan go out.
The latter also put on makeup.
Wang Wenyan, dressed as a Taoist priest, quietly left his home, and then merged into the crowd on the street under the night sky and walked forward, without knowing that fifty meters behind him, a man was locking his figure with his super vision.
The two walked in front and behind, and after about a quarter of an hour, Wang Wenyan entered an alley and stopped in front of a yard gate. After knocking on the door, someone opened the door and let him in, and then closed the door again. Yang Xin immediately walked out of the darkness, looked at the surrounding terrain, and quickly got up to the big tree outside, then threw a rope on the tree, and hooked the branch on the high ground of another big tree in the courtyard more than ten meters away.
His rope is also specially made.
This thing doesn't look thick, but it is actually made of raw silk, which is strong enough to support his weight and dye it black. The tail end is tied to the tree with a thin thread. The height difference between the two trees makes the rope form a diagonal line that seems to be invisible in the night. Then he breathed a deep breath, jumped forward with all his strength, grabbed the rope in the air, and then the thin thread behind broke, and he crashed towards the big tree in front like a mountain of vines.
Passed silently.
He was sprinkled with pepper on his body, and he seemed to be ghostly on the dogs below without any notice. He swung and climbed up at full speed. In the blink of an eye, he got on the big tree.
A dog below raised his head and yelled a few times and then shut up amid the doorman's scolding.
Yang Xin immediately put away the rope.
Then he saw Wang Wenyan, who was in the garden under this big tree. A man walked along the bridge to the pavilion in the middle of the pool. From a distance, he could see not only Wang Wenyan, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, and even Wang An were all in this pavilion. There was another person who should be the owner of this place. He was quite old and had an extraordinary demeanor. He looked like he had been rich for a long time.
But the pavilion is very far away.
Yang Xin then slipped down the tree, then went into the water directly behind a rockery, swam directly under the wooden bridge, and swam forward silently with the cover of the bridge.
Soon he heard the sound.
"Eunuch Wang, even if you forget about what happened today, they didn't expect Yang Xin to suddenly appear, not to mention that Fang Congzhe, Huang Kezhang and others are here. We are still inappropriate as ministers. Although there is no helplessness in the matter, we are still in the wrong. We are all in love, and we will still work together in the future. You can pick up this ten thousand taels first, which is considered as giving you tea and apologizing."
The stranger said.
"My Duke Xiuwu said this, and our family is not the one who doesn't know the general."
Wang An said.
"But what should we do next, we have to make some careful consideration. This Yang Xin is not simple. I really didn't expect that there was such a person around our Majesty."
The man said.
"You are looking for the person who started today?"
He continued.
"I was indeed a late birth when I returned to Xiuwu Gong!"
Wang Wenyan said.
"You've done this sloppy."
The man said.
"Wansheng was also anxious for a moment and wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible. However, the people who took action were found by the Wang family, and they were all believers of the Shifokou Wang family. He destroyed Xu Hongru, and these people hated him to the core. Wansheng just helped them get a big wind-chasing gun. Originally, he thought that no matter how powerful he was, he could not withstand the firearm. Unexpectedly, he was so alert. Fortunately, he sent the four people to Luo Sigong again. The Wang family had already given him five thousand taels to Luo Sigong. He probably wouldn't let these people live until tomorrow."
Wang Wenyan said.
"It's just that it will be difficult to get rid of him!"
Yang Lian said worriedly.
"Indeed, this thief must be alert.
But if we don't get rid of him, we can't do it.
Although he is not by His Majesty's side now, with his ability, he colluded with Fang Congzhe. Even if we enter the palace and control His Majesty elsewhere, as long as Fang Congzhe takes him into the palace, he will inevitably take him back. The Jinyiwei cannot stop him, nor may he be willing to stop him. The personal guards respect him, and it is also difficult to have the courage to stop him. Besides, those nobles do not want to get involved.
What's more, we can't really hijack Your Majesty, right?
I really didn't expect that a good thing would be destroyed in the hands of such an uninvited guest. He was clearly in Liaodong, so why did he suddenly come back?"
Zuo Guangdou said hatefully.
"Our family doesn't care about this, you have to think of a way. Our family has done everything we can do now!"
Wang An said.
"You guys are still too young!"
The Duke Xiuwu sneered.
"What good advice do you have for me to do?"
Wang Wenyan said immediately.
"Why do you need to assassinate? Can't you use better methods? Gongzhi, have you impeached him many times? What are his clear crimes?"
The man asked.
"It is hard to write about it. Not to mention that Wang Zhicai's son is very likely to be done by him, and the crimes he had committed before going to Liaodong were that after taking the bandit army to Tianjin, at least six murder cases of local gentry can be confirmed to be done by him. This thief was ruthless in killing people like Ma, Jinghai, Gegu, and Qingxian gentry, who dared to fight with him, all fell into the sea and died in the same way, and even fell in the same place. The local gentry can be said to have no place to report the wrongs. The younger generations of the army in Zhili were naturally unable to sit idly by and watch out for the poison, but all the memorials were left."
Zuo Guangdou said hatefully.
"Can you find someone to be accused of justice?"
Xiuwugong said.
"There was one of them, whose father was drowned. He originally wanted to come and beat the drum, but he was still afraid that Yang Xin would not be able to defeat him, so he was hesitant. If he gave him some promises, he would stand up."
Zuo Guangdou said.
"Then let him beat Dengwen Gu. Wenru, if you ask the director of the tutor to accept his complaint, I still don't believe it. The Censorate and the six departments are under our control. They can't even take a single Yang Xin. If you don't need assassination to deal with him, just arrest him according to the law, and he dares to resist? It's a death sentence."
Duke Xiuwu said to Yang Lian.
“But what’s the use of it?
The minister of the tutor will eventually deal with His Majesty. Now that His Majesty has entrusted all government affairs to Fang Congzhe, Fang Congzhe will definitely not be able to take him. What's more, he is the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei, and the Ministry of Justice has no right to take him. Only the Jinyiwei has the right to take him. Moreover, with his current identity, even if the Jinyiwei takes him, he must have an imperial edict. If there is no imperial edict, even if Luo Sigong has already collected our money, this old fox will not catch him. He is as timid as a mouse. Today's affairs have proved that he is unreliable. As for the criminal department, it is easy to say that he can issue his car post at any time as long as he needs it, but if there is no imperial edict, the criminal department has no right to write a car post. Fang Congzhe does not issue a ticket to write this imperial edict, this imperial edict... "
Yang Lian suddenly stopped.
Obviously he ignored one thing.
"That imperial edict was issued by the sergeant supervisor!"
Xiuwugong said with a smile.
"If Fang Congzhe does not issue a ticket, can't the Silijian write this imperial edict? Do all the imperial edicts have to be written? All the imperial edicts can be written with pens. If the jade seal is covered with jade seal, then it is the imperial edict. Isn't it the imperial edict? If it is not the emperor's charge? If it is something else, the six departments will reject such an imperial edict, but Wenru, will your six departments reject this matter?"
Chapter completed!
