Chapter 593: Windfall (I)

With Yang Zhen's order, some other brocade guards scattered and carefully searched the various places of the Cao Gang's helm. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although most of these brocade guards are veterans in raiding and looking for clues, because the helmsman of this Cao Gang occupies a lot of land, a few acres in a square area, and it is divided into large and small courtyards and houses, it is really not easy to search them thoroughly.

Seeing this situation, Yang Zhen, as the leader, naturally would not do it with them, at this time, his identity was there, if he did it himself, it would make his subordinates feel uneasy, so after instructing them to search carefully, he went out of the hospital with the brothers who escorted the Cao Gang and others.

Seeing that Yang Zhen brought someone out, Xu Mingtian, who was waiting for the Yangzhou general judge outside, hurriedly came up with a smile on his face: "Jinyiwei really deserves his reputation, and the officials admire it." I wonder where you plan to take people for trial next? When he asked this question, he glanced at Yang Zhen with some interest, looking a little uneasy.

Yang Zhen glanced at the other party, and naturally understood his thoughts in his heart. As the largest gang in Yangzhou City, there are bound to be some private transactions between the Cao Gang and the major yamen, and now that Yan Huan is in his own hands, the other party will naturally not be very relieved. Who dares to guarantee that he will not take these to make the officials in Yangzhou suffer?

After understanding this, Yang Zhen smiled: "The official came in a hurry, and he didn't have any preparations, I don't know if the prefect's yamen can make it convenient for me to interrogate carefully?" ”

Seeing his attitude, Xu Mingyang's heart suddenly became certain, and he hurriedly nodded and said as if a chicken pecked rice: "Of course, it is our honor for our government to be able to help adults a little." Then, as if he was afraid that he would regret it, he added: "Your Excellency, please." ”

Yang Zhen turned around and instructed the brothers who stayed here a few words, and then came to his horse, got on the horse and escorted the depressed Cao Gang people to the prefect's yamen with Xu Mingtian. At this time, it was only a few hours before he entered Yangzhou City, and his high efficiency can be seen.

And after they took everyone away, the officers and soldiers who had been around here also went back, leaving only the Jinyi guards inside for a long time rummaging through boxes and cabinets, searching everywhere.

By the time Yang Zhen and the others escorted people back to the mansion, it was already dark. Logically speaking, at this time, the government should have been released a long time ago, but today's Yangzhou Mansion is still brightly lit and very lively.

After a while, Yao Qingzhi also greeted him with a happy face, and when he saw Yang Zhen, he first gave a deep salute and said: "Lord Yang will remove such disasters for my Yangzhou City, please accept the bows of the lower officials." After Yang Zhen stepped forward to pick him up and saluted back, he smiled again and said, "Xiaguan has set up a celebration and reception banquet in the inner hall, and I hope Lord Yang will not dislike it." ”

Yang Zhen smiled and thanked him, and only ordered the brothers below to send the prisoners to the government prison for detention, and then walked in with Yao Qingzhi and them. This is the other party's land, and I still have things to rely on them in the future, so this face always has to be sold.

Seeing that Yang Zhen was so sensible, Yao Qingzhi and their hearts were even more relaxed, and the atmosphere at the next banquet was naturally very harmonious. During the cup change, several local officials in Yangzhou always praised Yang Zhen and Jinyiwei for their strength, and they were indeed models for officials.

In the face of these flattering words, Yang Zhen seems to have nothing to say except for self-humility. But in the end, he still said very face-savingly: "Actually, if we really want to talk about it, we can take down all the prisoners so smoothly, or thanks to the cooperation of officials from all parties in Yangzhou." If you hadn't sent people to surround the Cao Gang Helmsman early on, so that they couldn't get away, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to catch them all today, let alone succeed so easily. Therefore, this official will make a statement to the imperial court, and he will also write down the merits of your lords. ”

Hearing Yang Zhen praise his family so much, and bluntly said that his own merits are indispensable, these Yangzhou officials were also overjoyed, and while saying that they didn't dare to be, they also continued to toast Yang Zhen and several other Jinyi guards who attended the meeting to express their gratitude.

After they said about it, Yang Zhen led the topic to the place he wanted to say: "Of course, catching these criminals is only the beginning, and the next interrogation and verification work is the key, so this official hopes that all of you can cooperate, which is also for the well-being of the imperial court and the people of Yangzhou." ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Yang said it very much. This point has been discussed by our officials before, as long as Lord Yang has any orders next, we will give us full support and dare not slack off. Yao Qingzhi said to Yang Zhen on behalf of all Yangzhou officials.

Yang Zhen smiled with satisfaction, knowing that the other party had slowly entered the pit he had dug, so he continued to emphasize: "Also, according to what I said, this Cao gang has many other illegal acts in Yangzhou City, and there are many acts of oppressing good people, so it ......."

Yang Zhen only said one thing, and the officials understood his thoughts, and immediately nodded: "Don't worry, my lord, we will send a notice to the people, so that some of them who have been bullied and harmed by the Cao Gang will come to the yamen to testify, and we will definitely give him justice." "Now that they plan to uproot Yan Huan's Cao Gang, these officials naturally have to find more evidence and excuses to deal with them.

Everyone's intention is the same, and this banquet is naturally very happy and harmonious, and it will be eaten until nearly two watches before it ends. At this time, many officials were already a little drunk, especially the prefect Yao Qingzhi, after letting go of the big stone in his heart and getting Yang Zhen's assurance that he would take a share of the credit on his head, he naturally relaxed completely, and he was very diligent in toasting or something, and he drank the most.

Looking at the drunken and hazy officials, Yang Zhen's heart was amused, and then he raised a glass of wine and said: "Everyone, after tomorrow, you and I will work together, and please drink this cup at the end, and then listen to me about the last thing." ”

"Good! Lord Yang, please! Hearing this, everyone stood up, raised their wine glasses and gestured to Yang Zhen, and then drank all the wine in the glass.

After Yang Zhen drank the wine, he said in an extremely calm voice: "On the way to Yangzhou, the official also got an extremely important news, it is said that they have colluded with the Xu family in Huating and done some illegal things, I don't know if you have anything to say about this?" ”

"Is there such a thing? The Xu family of Huating is really bold, since we are officials of the imperial court, we can't easily let them go......" Yao Qingzhi's wine came up, and immediately followed Yang Zhen's meaning. It was only at the end of the words that I suddenly realized something, and the words were abruptly broken.

The others didn't pay much attention to it at first, but then, their faces changed drastically one by one, and they looked at Yang Zhen in disbelief, and the wine just now suddenly turned into a cold sweat.

Huating Xujia ...... This is the existence of the entire Jiangnan like thunder. How can they be exempted from the Yangzhou government? Even if they can't say that they want to live by the Xu family's snort, they are very in awe of this family, and they dare not have the slightest rebellion. And now, Yang Zhen actually said in front of them that the Xu family had colluded with the Cao Gang, and they had to be investigated, and what was even worse was that the prefect was still unconsciously agreeing, and if this was spread, their situation would be very bad.

Because they were extremely worried about the Xu family, no one dared to follow Yang Zhen's intentions, so they could only leave after Ai Ai for a while, under the pretext that they were too strong to drink. Only the poor prefect, because he had arranged a place for Yang Zhen and them early, he couldn't get out at the moment.

But then, Yao Qingzhi didn't dare to talk to Yang Zhen about anything about the case, he only hated why he wanted to get involved in this kind of thing, and he didn't know how to get rid of it next.

Yang Zhen didn't have too much annoyance about their reaction, he knew very well how jealous these officials were of the Xu family, and when he suddenly brought up this matter, their reaction was also expected, and there was no need to be too harsh.

However, his brothers didn't think so, especially the outspoken Cai Yingyang, when everyone dispersed and they came to the accommodation arranged for them by the government, they couldn't help but say: "Second brother, these officials are too timid." A Xu family scared them like this, do you think you can pull them to do things together? ”

The corners of Yang Zhen's mouth curled, and he chuckled: "They are indeed afraid of the Xu family. But whether they are afraid or not, it has nothing to do with whether I want to use them or not. Since I've taken a fancy to them, they don't want to stay out of it. When the time comes, no matter how reluctant they are, they will have to help me. ”

"Oh......" Cai Yingyang replied as if he didn't understand, not understanding why he was so strong.

At this time, Hu Ge, who stayed on the Cao Gang's side to lead people to search, also rushed back, and his expression was still very excited: "My lord, we have found something in the Cao Gang Helm. ”

"Oh, but what?" When Yang Zhen heard this, he was also refreshed, and hurriedly asked.

As soon as Hu Ge waved his hand, some brothers presented some documents and atlases and other things to Yang Zhen for Yang Zhen to see. Yang Zhen took these and looked at them under the lamp and candle, and his expression suddenly became solemn: "This is...... How and how to build a boat? ”

"It should be said that it is the pattern and method of building a sea ship." Hugo added: "One of our brothers, who was born by the sea, had heard of such a boat. ”

"Hiss......" Yang Zhen took a slight breath and said a little strangely: "The people of the Cao Gang have always only begged for a living in the canal, how can they pay attention to this?" ”

"My lord, the key is not this, but the sea ship is strictly forbidden to be built by the imperial court!" Hugo couldn't help but remind.
