Chapter 150: To Each His Heart
Xu Ping saw that Lu Yijian's expressions were almost the same as those of Wang Zeng and Han Yi, and he could only sigh in his heart that his acting skills were too good, if he didn't know, how could he cooperate so well with those little officials in the general direction? After thinking about it, maybe not necessarily, it is more likely that Lu Yijian knew that the officials were colluding and cheating, but he didn't expect it to be to this extent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAfter all, it seems that it is only the power of the three officials who have colluded now, and even the prime minister is afraid when he sees it.
Zhao Zhen said to the three people: "The confession is here, you have also seen it, this Cui Youde has committed a capital crime, and Xu Ping promised to keep his wife and daughter safe before he confessed." Moreover, I heard that the person who was sent by his companion to take care of his wife and daughter took advantage of his guilt to molest his wife, and this Cui Youde was not angry in his heart, so he wrote this confession. ā
Lu Yijian took a breath and bowed his hand: "Since this is the case, then immediately arrange for someone to take the person." Did you inform Cheng Lin to come to the palace to discuss? The three divisions do not have many manpower, and they are a little reluctant to handle this case. ā
"No need! The criminal was already in Kaifeng Mansion, but he didn't even find out the facts of the case of Cui Youde forcing Jinzhou Jinshi to death, and they assisted in this case. It is better to let the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial City Division and the Third Division work together, and the Imperial City Division will send personnel to arrest the criminals as soon as possible. There are too many criminals, and the place of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Third Division is small, so they are interrogated in the Imperial City Division! ā
Seeing that Zhao Zhen's tone was not good, Lu Yijian was not good at talking, so he had to obey the order.
Wang Zeng said: "Your Majesty, the matter is very important, and if it is not good, the city will be in an uproar." According to the minister's opinion, it is better to bring out the prisoner from Kaifeng Mansion first, and several ministers have asked again, it is better to catch the head first. ā
Zhao Zhen thought about it, just based on the confession of a small official, arresting so many people at once, if the confession did not match the facts, it would be embarrassing for the imperial court. Nodding his head, "That's it." It's late at night, you go and do it, and if you have something, you can do it in time. ā
Everyone thanked them and went out of the Yanhe Hall together.
Wang Zeng said to Lu Yijian: "Let's go back to the government hall to discuss and then make a decision." ā
At this time, even if it was just to get rid of suspicion, Lu Yijian would not say a word for the little official, and he was really dissatisfied with Xu Ping's troubles, and he could only find an excuse to retaliate in the future.
The two prime ministers agreed that all the people present would go out of Ouchi together and go to the government hall in the first half of the imperial city to discuss.
When he arrived at the political affairs hall, Cai Qi, who was on duty, saw so many people coming, although he knew that Xu Ping's entry into the palace in the middle of the night must be a major event, he didn't expect such a big scene, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Everyone sat down separately, and Lu Yijian discussed with Wang Zeng: "The only plan for today is to bring that little official Cui Youde first, and we asked again." Is it a book in the book, let the people of the Imperial City Division mention it? ā
Wang Zeng said: "That's right. However, those little officials are well-informed, and they must be careful when raising people, and they must not startle the snake. Let's think about what excuse to use first, so as not to make a fuss in the yamen of Kaifeng Mansion. ā
Xu Ping saw that several people were thinking there, and interjected: "According to the opinion of the lower officials, it is better for the Yushitai to come forward, just say that it is the first Jinshi to make trouble during the day, and the saint will personally inquire and let the Yushitai retrial." ā
It is said that Yushitai does not interfere much in cases that have nothing to do with officials, but how can Luodi Jinshi also have a bit of identity, and it is reasonable for the emperor to confess in person.
Several ministers discussed it and thought it was feasible, so they wrote a notebook, used the seal of the Chinese book, and handed it to Han Yi.
Wang Zeng said: "Yu Shi sent reliable henchmen to go, and there must be no mistakes." ā
Han Yi agreed.
Wang Zeng said to Li Yonghe again: "Li Thorn sent a few trustworthy soldiers to follow the people of Yushitai to pick up people. The people of the Imperial City Division are alive, don't let the officials of Kaifeng Mansion become suspicious. ā
Li Yong and Ying Nuo went to arrange manpower with Han Yi.
Lu Yijian saw the two of them go out, and shook his head at Wang Zeng: "Be so careful, it's too much of a fuss." The left and right are just a group of petty officials cheating, and it's not a major military event, what news are you afraid of leaking out in Kaifeng City? As long as you ask clearly tonight, the people of the Imperial City Division will guard the city gate early tomorrow morning, and search all over the city, and they are afraid that they will fly to the sky! ā
Wang Zeng was not annoyed, and smiled: "From the mansion that collided with the two of us, to today's case, the methods of these little officials are not supernatural?" It's always good to be careful, an oversight, how can we account for a failure? ā
Cai Qi only understood the case from Xu Ping's mouth at this time, and also said to Lu Yijian: "The public officials of the three divisions collude, and it is difficult to guarantee that the public officials of other yamen will not be involved." These little officials have friendships with each other, and who knows which one will report the news. ā
Lu Yijian's face was a little gloomy, and his people were not there tonight, so he had to stop talking.
The night was already deep, and there was no moon at the beginning of the month, and the sky was full of stars with a hazy light that filled the windows.
The handyman on duty came over and turned on the kerosene lamp, and quietly retreated.
Xu Ping kept watching the handyman exit the door, and he couldn't turn his head for a long time. Now his heart is a little oversensitive, and when he sees every little official, he thinks that he is a colleague of Taishi Liu's group.
After a short time, Han Yi and Li Yonghe came back and said to the two prime ministers: "Xianggong, people have been arranged, we will sit and wait here, it shouldn't take long to bring people here." ā
Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng nodded.
The atmosphere in the political hall was a little solemn, no one spoke anymore, or closed their eyes to recuperate, or looked at the starlight outside in a daze, and even the subordinate officials on duty occasionally came in with something, and they were all light-hearted.
The yamen of Kaifeng Mansion is not far from the imperial city, and it is only a matter of walking along the royal street for a cup or two of tea.
Xu Ping felt that this time passed very slowly, and his heart was itchy, and he had nowhere to scratch or scratch, but he just felt that it would be good to have a clock to watch now, and he would not feel that time had stood still like now.
Looking around, even Li Yonghe closed his eyes slightly, without any expression on his face, Xu Ping could only sigh secretly, his self-cultivation and cultivation efforts were still not at home. Not to mention these ministers, even Li Yong can't compare with this suddenly rich and noble.
I don't know how long it took, Xu Ping couldn't help but look out of the door, only to feel that the sun was about to rise, and the sound of hurried footsteps finally sounded outside the door.
Han Yi sighed: "The person is finally here!" ā
Looking at the expressions of the people around him, Xu Ping knew that in fact, others were just as difficult as him, but he just forced himself to calm down. In fact, in the eyes of others, how can Xu Ping not be unfazed? I also secretly praised this young man for becoming old!
The servant Shi Jiang Tang took two soldiers, escorted Cui Youde in, and saluted the people in the house: "Xiaguan Jiang Tang, with the help of the soldiers of the Imperial City Division, fortunately he did not disgrace his mission and brought the prisoners here!" ā
The two soldiers brought the prisoner to the house, and also saluted Li Yonghe with his crossed hands: "Assassin, subordinates give orders!" ā
The people in the room almost stood up together and looked at Cui Youde who was in rags on the ground. (To be continued.) )
