Chapter 791: Guilty of Petitioning

Early the next morning, Tu Kemin, the prefect of Nanyang, who had not slept all night, was forced to ascend to the church, but the first thing was to let people post a notice to inform the people that they had caught the suspect of trampling on the street vendors and passers-by yesterday, and they were sentenced to death in court according to the severity of the crime. For a while, the news spread all over the city, not to mention the families of the injured, even other people also had a lot of old people and children to watch, some for the sake of the great happiness, some for the sake of fun, but more people were strange how Fuzun changed his temperament.

After the verdict was handed down in court, an errand officer lifted the prisoner and pressed him on the platform outside, crackling and cracking the board. For a while, the sound of several reports, screams, and begging for mercy all gathered together and passed out of the door, although the big shadow wall at the door blocked the best sight, but the sound could not be faked. And when the boards were beaten one after another, five or six more people were set up and put in flail at the entrance of the yamen for public display. For a while, the onlookers outside the government suddenly let out a loud cheer.

And when the group of people who had been tortured with the cane came out of the palace, they saw that the buttocks and both strands were covered with blood, and they all seemed to be prostrating, and then saw that the brocade-clothed boy was impressively inside, and the indignant people finally lost their anger, and praised the Fuzun for their vigorous and resolute law enforcement this time, in short, they directly lifted Tu Kemin, the prefect of Nanyang, to the sky.

When the people in the city applauded, Jinyiwei urgently sent someone to report to Jingshi, and Zhang Yue and Mu Bin had already set off with people. Mu Bin had already heard that Zhang Yue had been busy for most of the night last night, and not long after he came back, Ma Baihu hurriedly came to ask for a meeting, but he didn't know what he was discussing. Although he was very curious about why Zhang Yue was in charge of this idle matter and what means he used, he still didn't inquire after all. More things are better than less, curiosity is not good for the children of the family.

Dongchang Hutong East Investigation Factory Yamen.

In the past few days, for the birth of the emperor's eldest son, there has been a lot of excitement inside and outside the palace, and the rewards of the twenty-four yamen have been sent several times, and the promised long-term followers who did not get much benefit in the past have all shared, not to mention the Dongchang hanging under the head of the celebrant supervisor. However, Lu Feng, who was the commander of the East Factory, was very unhappy, because the message that Zhang Yue asked Jinyiwei to bring was really not good news.

Although the relationship between the two is good, but Jinyiwei is a royal agent, and he has hardly conveyed information through this before, this time Zhang Yue suddenly made an exception, he still felt strange, but as soon as he heard the content of the message, he was furious. In the past few days, not to mention the next head, everyone is worried about everything, even those capable generals who think they are godsons, and they are also cautious when they speak, for fear of angering him.

"Damn little brute!"

At this time, the person who sent someone to Nanyang Mansion had already rushed back with the horse Baihu and hurried back, listening to the detailed report, he gritted his silver teeth for a while, and wanted to slaughter the nephew who caused trouble.

He wanted to pass on his wealth to his subordinates, but now when is the time, how could he be stupid enough to take his nephew to Jingshi, and he is not a eunuch like Zheng He with a face bigger than the sky! In the past few years, he has always been the third in the celebrant supervisor, if it weren't for his carelessness, and with the help of Zhang Qian's connections before, this East Factory would have been unable to control it a long time ago!

"Where's the little brute?"

"Back to the governor, Lord Zhang came forward and sent the eldest prince and those family members to the palace to confess, and said that it was your meaning, and now the whole Nanyang Mansion is praising the prefect for impartially enforcing the law, and you are righteous and ............ to destroy your relatives" Speaking of this, Ma Baihu, who hurried to the Beijing division to report the matter, couldn't help but glance up at Lu Feng, although he wanted to make his words clear, but Zhang Yue's warning was in front of him, he could only add a sentence cautiously, "The little ones didn't dare to do it, but Lord Zhang said that Gonggong Lu would definitely be punished if he knew it."

"Don't say it, that kid deserves to be beaten, we don't have his lawless nephew!"

Although he was a little annoyed by Zhang Yue's loss of face in his heart, but after sitting down in a high position all these years, Lu Feng always knew the importance clearly, and this matter was so tight that he had to have a long heart, and immediately instructed a middle-aged eunuch beside him: "You send a message to our family to our hometown, let them keep to themselves one by one, don't think about running out if you have nothing to do!" Within this year, our family didn't have the heart to wipe their butts, let alone call them to the capital to cause trouble! ”

Seeing that the middle-aged eunuch said yes and hurried away, he sent the brocade guard away in a few more sentences, and then slapped the table hard, his face was annoyed and suspicious. Since he collided with the prince of Qianguo, although Zhang Yue's measures were ruthless, he couldn't find fault with it, but things could have been done steadily, and he had to be so public, didn't this make him smear his face? He was impatient, and was about to stand up, when someone outside rushed through the door like a gust of wind.

"Dugong, there is news from Xuanwumen, someone sees Master Zhang coming back and is heading to the Yamen of the Ministry of War!"

Previously, he was appointed by the Ministry of War, so as soon as Zhang Yue returned to Beijing, he parted ways with Mu Bin and went to the Ministry of War first. He has worked here from the Arsenal Division to the Ministry Division for many years, and naturally he has many acquaintances, so this time, there is a person in many divisions who came out to say hello, but Wan Shijie did not come back for the time being because he was out on business, and the hall official above did not let him wait too long.

Today's secretary of the military department is Zhang Ben, who is also an old minister of the Hongwu year, who has served as the right attendant of the criminal department for many years, and has also been stumbling for a long time in Nanjing, until the Hongxi period because of Zhu Gaochi's appetite, Zhu Zhanji and then because of Li Qing's solemnity, this was transferred to the secretary of the military department. He is now nearly seventy years old, although his hair is white, his spirit is very good, and he treats Zhang Yue only lightly.

Zhang Yue had heard that he was also Geng Jie's strict temperament, so he didn't care, and after the official report was over, he bowed and left. As soon as he arrived at the Yamen Yimen Gate of the Ministry of War, he collided with Wanshijie, who happened to come back in time. Because it is a heavy place in the yamen, the Wanshi Festival, which has always been informal, is not too intimate, so he squeezed his eyes and said to Zhang Yue: "I went to my father-in-law's house for a gathering at night, and you didn't catch up with my son's full moon wine, and you haven't given this meeting gift yet!" ”

"Did you give my son's share of the money?" Zhang Yue smiled, and then added, "Besides, I have another one at home who is about to give birth, if you have a gift, don't forget to make an extra one!" ”

Wan Shijie only then remembered the number of people in Zhang Yue's inner house, and couldn't help but hate itchy. If it weren't for this yamen, he would have liked to punch Zhang Yue in the chest and scold him for being cunning, but now he could only glare at him viciously, and then said angrily: "Come on, you are such a rich man, you still like to knock on my bamboo pole!" Now I have something to go back to Zhang Shangshu, and I will pour you a few more cups in the evening, you just wait! ”

The two of you glared at me, then smiled at each other, and went their separate ways. When he arrived at the gate, Zhang Yue got on the horse with a few entourages one by one, and slowly pulled the reins out of this narrow alley full of six yamen. It was not until he passed the fourth archway at the entrance of the street and went up to Xuanwumen Street that he let go of the horse. A gust of wind entered his Wu'anhou Hutong, and he saw that there seemed to be cars and horses parked in the depths, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

When I returned to Beijing, I didn't let people report to the capital quickly, who was so powerful to report to God, and he had already waited at the door in advance?

Before he left Beijing, the Zhang family had already lived in separate houses, except for the most magnificent Zhang You's house, next to Zhang Xin's house and his own house. The three families are all interconnected, and it is not a complete separation. Because they are all Zhang's family, others only distinguish them by other names, one is Yangwubo's Mansion, one is Zhang's Command Mansion, and the other is Xiaozhang's Mansion. Although the latter sounds a little awkward, it is very cordial, although Zhang Yue's family is not in the capital, this title is very widespread.

At this moment, when he arrived at the gate of Xiao Zhang's mansion, he saw the carriages and horses clearly. At first glance, the car looks like an ordinary green mantle cloud head car, but the horse that sets the car is a strong Youyan good horse - in the current situation of the Central Plains animal husbandry has been greatly reduced, taking this kind of horse to set the car is undoubtedly the behavior of a loser. The driver in front of the car was wearing neat royal blue clothes, as if he was afraid that people would not know, and there were two big words on his head. Seeing this, Zhang Yue immediately understood who this uninvited guest was.

After living in a separate house, because the Dongfang clan did not want the old man who was reused by the former mother-in-law to continue to be in power; Zhang Xin has been in Jiaolu for many years, and he is more willing to use people at home who gradually joined in, so Gao Quan's status as an old housekeeper became embarrassing.

In the end, Zhang Yue trusted this old housekeeper who knew the roots, and when he lived in another house, he asked Gao Quan's family to come over, and he still used him to manage the housework of the family, and at the same time promoted several stewards such as Lian Sheng and Lianhu. In addition, Zhang Zuo also put two of the people he used to put outside at home, so although the family has been away from Beijing for more than two years, the huge mansion looks clean and tidy, and there is no dilapidated scene of lack of people to live in.

Although Gao Quan knew that Zhang Yue had been ordered to return, he didn't count it as today. Therefore, after receiving someone in, he couldn't help but ask for guilt again and again, and then complained half-truthfully: "The young master should have someone send a letter, and the small one should let the upper and lower levels have a preparation, but it turned out that Father-in-law Lu came over, and everyone knew that the young master had arrived today." If you knew it earlier, the small ones would have better make some accounts and dry the bedding and cover up those cats. ”

"Then you go and cover it up now, in two or three days, I don't have time to care about this!"

Although Zhang Yueren is not there, he is well-informed, and he is quite satisfied with coming in just now, and he is happy to joke with Gao Quan. When he arrived at Yongzhang Hall, which was seriously receiving guests, he let Gao Quan go down to arrange many guest matters, and stepped into the lobby with his feet. Seeing Lu Feng, who was sitting upright on the first seat of the guest seat, stood up with a smile, he stepped forward with a smile.

"Father-in-law Lu is really good at reporting God, and he didn't wait for me to take a break and went directly to the door to ask the teacher!"

"What kind of Xingshi asks for sin, it should be said that it is the guilt of Jing Jing!" As Lu Feng spoke, he glanced at the two Dongchang fans standing on the left and right, and seeing that they retreated silently, he said to Zhang Yue, "This time, if you don't hit your hands with Xiao Zhang, but poke something out of someone else, then our family's situation will be difficult." ”

"It's just an unexpected encounter, I can't help but say that I sent someone to the yamen, it should be that I asked Grandpa Lu to be more forgiving."

This hurried to run slowly, insisting that he was guilty of Jing pleading, Zhang Yue thought that this guy was really good at beating snakes with sticks, but he hurriedly helped people up with both hands. After the guest sat down, after the servant re-served the tea, he retreated, and then he explained the cause of the day, seeing that Lu Feng's face was full of chagrin, and there was no real hatred, he said coldly: "Father-in-law Lu should have heard what I brought with him, so that my nephew didn't know that you would run to the capital, this is really strange." ”

After getting along with Zhang Yue for a long time, Lu Feng naturally knew that the other party's mind was far more clever than his own, and when he suddenly heard such a sentence, he couldn't help but grit his teeth, and immediately asked viciously: "Tell me, is someone risking our family's name to let him go to the capital?" Or did someone instigate him to come to the capital to find our family, causing trouble all the way and making it difficult for our family to end? Or ......"

"Someone instigated your nephew to say that you are the governor of Dongchang in Beijing, and you are more able to speak than those old ministers, so let him come to the capital to find you, so that he can beg for a powerful official. As for causing trouble along the way, it was because Ling Nephew was spoiled at home, and he was instigated by the little guy who received benefits, so he was naturally unscrupulous. It's just that just because I taught him two lessons, he dared to falsely report the false case to Jinyiwei, wanting Jinyiwei to carry the black pot, which made his nephew's mind very ruthless! ”

Zhang Yue, who was sitting peacefully, saw that Lu Feng's face turned from chagrin to shock, and from shock to anger, and knew that the other party had believed these words. Now that the words have been thoroughly clicked, he didn't bother to care anymore, and said in an accentuated tone: "Although the previous turmoil has been suppressed a little bit due to the birth of the emperor's eldest son, many people should still be staring at you people. On weekdays, you can't care if you are far away from him, but this time he went to Beijing under your banner, and everything was counted on your head. ”

"Okay, good, it's really a goose all day long but is pecked by a goose, someone really calculated on our head!"

Lu Feng was so angry that he fainted, his face turned pale, and he immediately stood up and arched his hand to Zhang Yue: "Don't thank you for your great kindness, you have disciplined your nephew for our family!" There is more than one nephew in the Hengzhu family, and when our family turns around, we will let people break his legs to give you anger, and our family will thank you for finding such a major harm. The matter has come to this point, please tell me Xiao Zhang, who is that dog thing? ”

"At that time, I asked the government and Jinyiwei to take the person overnight, and then someone confessed that it was a little guy named Jiang Bai, who encouraged your nephew Lu Yi to ask Jinyiwei to help. When I asked Ma Baihu to arrest someone, I didn't whip him twice, and the man confessed to taking advantage of someone. This guy was a local pimp who threw himself into your cousin's house. In addition, since Ma Baihu knows, you might as well use him, after all, now he doesn't know which party is sacred, and only with your protection can he be safe. ”

Saying this, Zhang Yue understood in his heart that this sacred should not be those civil officials - although today's civil officials also have their own thoughts, they are not as dirty as those in the Ming Dynasty and the Later Ming Dynasty, and most of them are the palace dumping. It seems that Yu Qian's stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the eunuchs who bore the brunt of it were already trying their best to hold together. It's not easy to knock them down, but he can still do it by narrowing the surface of the blow and increasing the intensity of the strike.
