Chapter 276: Diverting Attention

What was written on these sheets was exactly what he had done a few years earlier when he first became an official. Perhaps because he has just entered the official field, he still has a lot of courage, he really dares to accept any money, and dares to do anything, which involves two life lawsuits. At that time, it was precisely because he was granted these bribes that he was able to give money to Shangguan, which was one step further. I thought that after so many years, everyone must not remember those things, but now that they have all been turned over, if he dares to admit it, then it is extremely difficult to save his life, let alone an official body.

"Nope! No! These things are not done by me, they have nothing to do with me. Seeing that admitting it may be death, of course Li Wenxiao will bite and not let go.

Li Wenxiao's face finally changed, which also made Xu Youzhen interested, these were all sent by Lord Wang Zhi, the secretary of the ministry, and their authenticity goes without saying. In the face of ironclad evidence, Li Wenxiao dared to deny that the time for Xu Youzhen to show his skills had finally arrived.

"What? Don't you admit it? Okay, let's ask one thing at a time, come on, prepare the torture tools! Xu Youzhen's angry voice resounded throughout the torture hall.

Although it is said that he can't be punished by a doctor, but seeing that Li Wenxiao is about to burp people, where will Xu Youzhen be polite, he is still waiting to gain a firm foothold in the criminal department with this case.

......

On the road leading to Yangjiazhuang, the convoy was caught up by the security bureau, and then Hu Mang told Yang Chendong in the carriage that Wang Zhishangshu had taken action and obtained a large amount of evidence of Li Wenxiao's violation of law and discipline.

"Young master, Wang Shangshu has made a move, and the Criminal Department has also released Wang Si, and he is heading towards the palace at this time." Hu Mang's voice came out clearly, and it entered the ears of Yang Chendong, who was sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed.

"I see." Yang Chendong replied very simply. Now that Wang Zhi understood what he meant, he had already made a move, and with the energy of others, the evidence he got was enough to stare at Li Wenxiao, so he didn't have to worry about anything.

Yang Chendong knew that the information obtained by the Security Bureau was limited, and he was afraid that he would not be able to beat Li Wenxiao to death. But he did it anyway because he believed that Wang Zhi would definitely take action after knowing what he had done. If you can't even see a little bit of your gaze, you won't be able to stay in the position of the secretary for more than ten years.

Even if Wang made a direct move, Li Wenxiao would definitely die. This matter can also be put aside for the time being, and some things will have to wait for it to ferment for a while before being taken care of, thinking that it will bring greater gains. "Hu Mang, in the name of Young Master Ben, quickly notify Captain Gao Xiong so that he can act."

"Understood, young master." Hu Mang said yes and rode away. Leaving Yang Chendong alone in the carriage, he muttered to himself, "Even if you can't see the faces of some people, then I will teach you a lesson." ”

......

After Li Wenxiao experienced inhuman treatment, he also enjoyed a lot of those torture tools that he was very familiar with, and finally spat out and confessed to many things written on the pleadings.

When Xu Youzhen took the confession that Li Wenxiao had personally pressed, it was already the morning of the next day. Although he didn't sleep much that night, it seemed that everything was worth it to have such a result.

Of course, what made Xu Youzhen even more excited was that under the torture of the night, Li Wenxiao's psychological defense line completely collapsed, and he really said anything about anything, and finally bit a lot of people, including the fact that he gave money to Yu Shiyue, the secretary of the Criminal Department. The sum of the front and back is as much as 20,000 taels.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, officials who embezzle sixty taels of silver will be punished, and the amount of 20,000 taels can be imagined what kind of consequences will be triggered.

This is equivalent to a big bomb, although Xu Youzhen was a little excited, but he was not dizzy, thinking about it, he did not report directly to the official situation, but secretly told Jin Ying about the matter. At the same time, he also told the agents of the Security Bureau, and asked them to tell the loyal and courageous man what he had done.

Yang Chendong learned about Xu Youzhen's harvest and his choice at noon the next day.

In the study, after Hu Mang finished conveying Xu Youzhen's actions, he tried to speak: "Young master, why didn't Lord Xu report the matter to the imperial court?" Why didn't he ask for instructions before doing so, and did he need to be warned? ”

The warning that Hu Mang said naturally meant that Xu Youzhen should be beaten well. It was with the help of the young master that this person got to where he is today. And now that he has a little power and merit, he dares to do things first and then play, and this wind cannot rise.

"He did the right thing." Facing Hu Mang's words, Yang Chendong shook his head with a smile. "Lord Xu told Jin Ying the news as soon as possible, which was right. If it is delayed, it will not be good. Okay, that's up to him. ”

The reason why Yang Chendong believes in Xu Youzhen so much, and there is no trace of blame, he also has his own ideas in it.

Xu Youzhen is one of the powerful ministers in history, although he has a bad reputation, but there is no need to question his political skills and vision, and he naturally has his intentions when he does this. After saying that, Yang Chendong can also see that Xu Youzhen has just entered the Criminal Department, if Yu Shiyue is brought down now, he may not be able to take the position of Shangshu with his qualifications. If this goal is not achieved, then what good is it to poke things out?

Instead of not killing people with a single knife, it is better to wait and hang the knife high, which can play an unexpected role.

Besides, as soon as this incident comes out, it should be Yu Shiyue and the people behind him who should have a headache, and he just needs to wait and see what kind of performance the other party will have.

Yang Chendong understood Xu Youzhen's approach. In the palace, after Jin Ying met with Xu Youzhen, she praised his behavior and practices.

"Okay, very good, Lord Xu, you did a good job. In this way, I will report the matter to the emperor to know, and what to do, you can go back and listen to it. Holding the confession written by Li Wenxiao in his hand, although Jin Ying was angry in her heart, she was still very happy that Xu Youzhen had reported her actions in advance.

"The next official retired." Xu Youzhen also knows that Jin Ying is afraid that there are a lot of things to do now, and he is not staying at the moment, and even gives up the opportunity for the two of them to be alone at the moment, and it is a decisive decision to go.

As soon as Xu Youzhen left, Jin Ying thought about it for a while and went straight to Zhu Qiyu's office hall.

Zhu Qiyu is still a foiled emperor, at least very diligent. Most of the time is spent on political affairs. When he saw Jin Ying appear in front of him with a serious face, he instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and asked at the moment: "Jin Aiqing, but what happened?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Lord Xu, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, came here just now and gave these to the ministers." As he spoke, Jin Ying respectfully sent the confession he had just obtained to Zhu Qiyu, and then explained on the side: "This is all Li Wenxiao's confession, if everything is true, I am afraid that Lord Yu Shiyue will not be able to be qualified for the post of secretary of the criminal department." ”

"Is it so serious?" After Zhu Qiyu, who was looking at the confession, heard this, his pupils instantly became much larger.

"Yes, it's that serious. It is precisely because of this that Xu Youzhen did not speak publicly in the court, but privately found the minister and informed him of the matter. Your Majesty, look..."Jin Ying nodded and said very seriously.

"Yu Shiyue can't move now." Zhu Qiyu shook his head decisively, his expression was very firm.

This scene is basically the same as Kim Young's thoughts. Yu Shiyue's ability to continue to serve in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs was originally trusted by Zhu Qiyu. Although the situation seems to be much more stable now, the external threat has not been completely eliminated. Before that, it was basically impossible to make a big decision. In this way, how to appoint officials, and what kind of officials to appoint, is the time to show the wisdom of Emperor Daizong.

Among the many ministers, Yu Shiyue belongs to those who absolutely support Zhu Qiyu's camp. And if such people are all taken down, it is conceivable that other people's hearts will definitely fluctuate. Not to mention, not long after Yang Chendong had a conflict with him, taking down this person could only boost the prestige of the loyal and courageous duke. From now on, I am afraid that few people dare to disobey Yang Chendong, if this is the case, it will undoubtedly be a major blow to the emperor's authority.

Zhu Qiyu, who is gathering imperial power and is ready to show his strength, will never allow such a thing to happen.

"Yes, you can't move." Jin Ying hurriedly repeated on the side.

"How long can Xu Youzhen hold things down?" Although Zhu Qiyu didn't want to move Yu Shiyue, he also knew that even if something happened, and he was also targeted by Yang Chendong and Wang Zhi, the two important ministers, it was obviously impossible to do nothing. As an emperor, although there are many privileges, but there is also a basic fairness in doing things, if you are too partial to one side, not only will you not be convinced, but you will also cause trouble.

"Well, it's hard to say. Unless there are other major events, I am afraid that many people are staring at this case now. Jin Ying had an embarrassed expression. He also knew that it was wrong to move Yu Shiyue now, but whether it was Yang Chendong or Wang Zhi, who provided evidence later, which one was a good match?

Jin Ying's answer made Zhu Qiyu see a glimmer of light, "Very good, then make other things to attract everyone's attention." Loyal and courageous Gong didn't beat the Japanese envoys yesterday, and for this matter, as well as the imperial history, he wrote an impeachment note, but they were all suppressed by me. Then contact more imperial historians now, let them impeach the loyal and courageous princes, and divert everyone's attention. And you inform Yu Shiyue privately, he will know how to put the matter down. ”
