"Yes, yes. Everything has to trouble Father-in-law Jin to help, and Zhen will remember it. Xu Youzhen had a flattered expression, but her heart had already blossomed. He knew that even if Jin Ying could point to a certain position, it meant that the matter had become at least seventy percent.

To be a middleman, pay 500,000 taels of silver to get a position as a left waiter in the Criminal Department, which was originally designed by Yang Chendong and is also part of the plan. Even if you have to do it. Even if you can't get this position, the requirements have to be stated. Otherwise, why should a person take care of such idle affairs, if there is no benefit at all, his original intention will be doubted by others.

On the contrary, if he asks for something, then his motivation will be much simpler. At least it won't make people wonder if there will be anything greasy between Xu Youzhen and Yang Chendong.

In short, it is a sentence that expresses what you want. Of course, it's best if it becomes it, and if it doesn't, you can clear up the suspicion, isn't it the best of both worlds. And now it seems that things are going in the best direction.

After agreeing, the two of them soon got up and running. First, Jin Ying appeared in the prison of the Criminal Department, and then Xu Youzhen went to visit Hufu.

Just after the attack on the third lady of the loyal and courageous princess, the actions of the two were quickly noticed by those who were attentive. After all, whether it is the Yu family or the Hu family, in fact, they all have a close relationship with what happened, and at this moment, anyone who comes into contact with them can make other explanations and guesses.

But it's just speculation, and no one knows what's going on. just knew that when Jin Ying was out of the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, Yu Shiyue did not send him off in person; On the contrary, when Xu Youzhen left Hu's mansion, it was Hu Changning who sent him all the way.

After Hu Changning sent Xu Youzhen out of the house, he returned to his study, where his father Hu Hu was already sitting and waiting.

"Father." As soon as he saw Hu Hu, Hu Changning immediately showed an extremely respectful look, which was from the bottom of his bones.

"Take a seat." Seeing the eldest son return to the study, Hu Hu nodded lightly. It wasn't until his son sat down on the chair opposite him that he said in a tone of examination: "You can analyze what is going on in this matter." ”

"Wonderful!" Hu Changning expressed his appreciation and appreciation for Yang Chendong with a word of praise.

"How?" Hu Hui's face was unmoved, but he still greatly appreciated the political consciousness of his eldest son, and from this sentence alone, it can be seen that his son seems to have seen the essence of the matter.

"Father. Chendong took advantage of the incident and took a roundabout strategy, which could punish the bold Yu Xiong, and hit Yu Shiyue's authority, and more importantly, he also planted an important nail in the criminal department. Hu Changning said in a somewhat excited tone.

In fact, there is also the matter of his own promotion, which is to kill four birds with one stone. But Hu Changning doesn't like to be public, so he deliberately said the same thing.

Xu Youzhen is Yang Chendong's person, and not many people know about it, but Hu Hu and Hu Changning do. even knew that this person's previous impeachment and the recommendations behind it were actually instructed by Yang Chendong. That's why this person was promoted like a rocket.

But although he is the right attendant of the ministry, he seems to be a high authority, but the role he can play is very limited. Because whether it is Wang Zhi, the secretary of the ministry, or He Wenyuan, the left waiter, they all have a good impression of Yang Chendong. In this department, there is no real point in arranging manpower, and jumping out has become inevitable. This time, it is really wonderful, from the right servant of the Ministry of Officials to the left waiter of the Criminal Department, this is equivalent to Yang Chendong has an important nail in the Criminal Department, and with time, there will be no difficulty in cultivating henchmen here.

"Very good, Ning'er has grown up, and it is very gratifying to be a father to see this. But I don't know if you've thought about it, what does he mean by doing this, if it's just for self-preservation, like the British duke, it's okay to be a low-key person, but now some of his actions are obviously beyond the scope of being a courtier, what does he have to do? Hu Hu agreed with Hu Changning's analysis, but after living for so long and seeing so many things, he still saw the essence of the matter at a glance, that is, what Yang Chendong was going to do.

Do?

Hu Changning was also stunned by this question.

Yes, if it's just for the glory and wealth, he should have everything, so why do you have to be so thoughtful? Was it just because Yu Xiong provoked him this time that he fought back?

If this is the case, then the evidence given to Xu Youzhen can be published to the world, so that you can take revenge. But he didn't do this, but took this opportunity to make Hu Changning and Xu Youzhen take a step forward, which is a bit intriguing.

Not to mention what Hu Hu and Hu Changning's father and son said behind closed doors. It is said that early on the morning of the second day after Jin Ying and Xu Youzhen took action, a complainant came to the door of the criminal department. He kept complaining to Yu Xiong, saying that he robbed his wife and forced him to leave the country, and at the same time he also accepted a confession, which was written in detail, and there should be all kinds of human and physical evidence, which was completely an ironclad fact.

There were also many people in Beijing who accompanied the complaint, and there were many onlookers, and for a while things were in an uproar, and even if the Criminal Department wanted to suppress it, it couldn't do it.

With the new facts of the case, the treatment of Yu Xiong, who is still in prison, has changed immediately. Moved from a single room to a normal cell, where there were not only many prisoners, but also a very bad smell. Faced with such an environment, Yu Xiong was of course puzzled, and shouted his identity, "My grandfather is the secretary of the Criminal Department, how dare you do this to me?" ”

It's good not to say this, but as soon as he said this, the prisoners in the same room looked at him with a little more ferocity. Many of these people have been wronged, they just can't find an outlet, Yu Xiong's shout is equivalent to giving them a chance to vent, where will they let go, first a fat beating.

And just three days later, Yu Xiong's case was settled. What Yang Chendong didn't even expect was that when Yu Xiong was facing the torture of the Criminal Department, he actually recruited a lot of unknown things, among which there were only three women who died in his hands, because of the concealment, plus the fact that the body was thrown into the river and sunk to the bottom of the river so that it would not be known to others. Now, the soft-boned Yu Xiong saw that no one was protecting him, and he couldn't stand the punishment, so he said it all in one go.

Originally, I still thought that the responsibility was not heavy, and I was afraid that Yu Xiong would be killed, and I still needed Leng Feng to secretly take action. It's good now, with these three lives, he was sentenced to a summary sentence by the newly appointed left waiter Xu Youzhen of the Criminal Department.

As soon as this incident came out, the people of Beijing applauded one after another, and while rejoicing at the end of a bully's life, they also sighed at Yu Shiyue's selflessness and Lord Xu Youzhen's punishment of evil and promotion of good.

Yu Xiong died, on the execution ground. But at this time, Yang Chendong had already left this matter behind, in his eyes, Yu Xiong was just an ant, and killing him was not enough to arouse any sense of pride. However, as soon as this person dies, presumably other people are thinking about beating their own minds, they have to think twice, and they have to think about how hard their necks are, and whether they can escape death after making a move.

Yu Xiong's matter is just a small episode, belonging to the kind of people who kill themselves. Yang Chendong's current focus is on the Yang Family Academy and the construction of the new army of the Ming Dynasty.

After getting two million taels of silver, Shi Heng and Jin Ying each embezzled 300,000 taels, and when they added officials at all levels to ask for it, it was only one million taels when it was finally used for army construction. But even one million taels allowed them to form a standing army of 150,000 men, three firearms battalions of 15,000 men, and an artillery battalion of 2,000 men.

One million taels of silver can do these things, thanks to the military household system of the Ming Dynasty. The so-called one person enters the military household, and the generation is a military household, that is to say, once you are recognized as a military member, the boy you give birth to in the future can only be a soldier, and the girl born can only marry a soldier. It is precisely this measure that ensures that the number of the Ming army has always remained at a high numerical level. It is recorded in an article that during the Ming Dynasty, the country's standing military personnel had been more than 1.5 million, among which the military household system played an absolutely important role.

Looking at the information sent by the Security Bureau, Yang Chendong knew that the road to upward was still full of thorns. Not to mention anything else, just this huge number of troops is not easy to deal with, the same Han people, they are all the same ancestor, can he bear to destroy these people? Not to mention that he doesn't have such a capability right now.

What Yang Chendong wants is to make Daming the center of the world, and Daming's civilization to become the originator of human civilization. In the future, no matter where any Han person goes, he will be respected and looked up to. And this requires the support of countless people, and it is categorically not allowed to allow a major event of cannibalism.

It's just that some things are not based on one's own voluntariness. When a person hates you and wants to kill you, you can solve it by giving some favors.

"In this way, let my cousin arrange it, find a businessman to find Yang Guang, no matter what, the position of general of the artillery battalion should be taken by him, don't be stingy with money, this is very important for our safety." After pondering for a moment, Yang Chendong issued a secret order to Hu Mang, who was the most trusted by his side.

Before a person wants to do great things, wants to help others, and wants to lead everyone to rise, he must have one condition, that is, his absolute safety. Looking at the new army of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is an ordinary soldier or an elite firearms battalion, it cannot be placed in Yang Chendong's eyes. But it's the artillery battalions that are annoying.
