Chapter 206: The Conspiracy in the Prison of the Kingdom

Knowing the reason for the usury in the prison, Yang Reform was a lot easier, this matter is not what he imagined, some people are bold enough to do some lawless things in their own name.

I don't know how the two of them agreed to raise people to replace the silver with IOUs, it stands to reason that this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen, because this Guozijian is the highest educational institution in the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for these two people to do it arbitrarily.

Even if the chief official in the Guozi Prison is not there, and the new chief official has not arrived, these two guys should not be in charge, this kind of thing is decided by the emperor and the ministers of the current dynasty, and the emperor is in charge, Liu Jishan is actually doing it, how can he let two petty officials who are not in the stream make trouble inside? The courage of these two petty officials can never be so big! Yang Reform is also interested in the cause of this incident, what kind of person does this have to be so bold! There must be something strange in this, and there is a reason.

Li Ruolian seemed to have been struggling in her heart, and kept looking at the door. After hesitating again and again, he finally seemed to have made some kind of determination, knelt down, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty of not reporting the situation to Your Majesty in time, and I implore Your Majesty to punish ......"

Yang Gai looked at Li Ruolian pleading guilty, and felt that maybe he didn't guess wrong, this Li Ruolian, I'm afraid it really has something to do with this matter, maybe it is really the kind of situation he thinks.

"Li Ruolian, what are your crimes?" Yang asked Gengai.

Li Ruolian sweated on the tip of his nose, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the criminal ministers are also ......involved in the matter of the country's eunuch raising an IOU" Saying this, Li Ruolian seemed to have been cleaned up, and the aura of the whole person's self-confidence became smaller.

Yang Gai sighed in his heart, this matter, sure enough, he guessed correctly, his own people have something to do with this matter, it may be that he has set a trap to let those people drill into it, and then all have to borrow money from loan sharks, this is probably Li Ruolian's confidence to ask himself for 1.2 million taels of mother money in one breath, right? Yang Gai admired this Li Ruolian, and also felt terrible for his madness, maybe his own house is too kind!

"In this way, you planned the raising of people and the raising of IOUs in this country? First open an opening and put many doubtful lifters into the net, and when the lifters are all put in prison and entered the roster, then they repent, saying that this IOU is not good, and then forcing them to borrow your usury? Isn't that so? I'm not wrong, am I? Yang Gai felt that this world was really magical, the highest educational institution in the Ming Dynasty, and it could actually be used to make usury in front of the court.

Li Ruolian's smooth forehead, this time, it was fine sweat that came out, Li Ruolian was not as confident as just now, the emperor's words were like knives, and they hurt him!

"Back to Your Majesty, in this matter, the criminal minister did add fuel to the fire, and did participate in the design of forcing people to borrow money......" Li Ruolian admitted very simply.

Yang Reform was speechless, and he didn't see that the energy of his hundred households was quite big! Quite awesome! The people who can command the Guozijian can also calculate a large number of people and force many people to borrow usury, what kind of "master" is this in the Ming Dynasty! I'm afraid that the four words fox and fake tiger are used to the extreme. Yang Reform is both helpless and admirable.

Perhaps, I am too indulgent to my subordinates, to my "own people", to let my "own people" be too arrogant, too much to abuse their trust, to abuse their own name, maybe, that day, it will be a time bomb!

Yang Reform was silent, what should I do about this? Li Ruolian is his own "own person", if he abolish him now, then he treats the signboard of "talent" as a smash, who will dare to follow him in the future? If you don't deal with this Li Ruolian, then how will this matter end? I'm afraid that the courtiers will inevitably use this incident as a weapon to attack themselves, and when the time comes, they will not be able to eat and walk around! It's not easy to be an emperor! It's not easy to be an emperor! It's just that I want to make a few silvers, so I do this kind of thing.

Just when Yang Reform was silent and felt that there was something wrong with his character, Li Ruolian, who had confessed his guilt, said again: "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to say." ”

Yang Gai looked at Li Ruolian and found that this Li Ruolian had regained his previous spirit and was full of confidence.

"What do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to say that although the minister was involved in this matter, the idea of raising people to make an IOU was not from the criminal minister, the criminal minister just took advantage of the idea...... Li Ruolian broke out a shocking story.

"What, you didn't come up with this idea, so who came up with it? What kind of prisoner is that? The main book? "Yang Gengai thinks that the joints here are really complicated enough. Things are far from being as simple as you think.

"Returning to Your Majesty, yes, this idea is not from the minister, but it is even more unlikely to be the idea of Lu Jian Cheng and Tang Zhushu, this idea, it is said, is the intention of a certain important minister in the court......" Li Ruolian spoke, half-talking.

"A certain important minister in the court? Which one? How did you come up with this idea? Yang Gai felt that this matter was really strange enough, the court was counting on this move to manipulate the silver, and someone actually made a ghost in this and broke it, did he really encounter a group of "pig-like teammates"? Yang thought sadly.

Li Ruolian said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is said that it seems to be a heavy minister surnamed Shi, is it not, the criminal minister does not know, and the criminal minister has no actual evidence,......

A minister surnamed Zhou? Yang Gengai turned his head to look at Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty, the head of the cabinet is Shi Fenglai. ”

Shi Fenglai? Of course, Yang Gai knows this name, and he may not remember a few people in his cabinet, but the first assistant of the cabinet, the person corresponding to Wang Chengen, under one person, above tens of thousands of people, how can he not know about it?

He? Will he stop this country from collecting money? Why? Yang Gengai couldn't think of why. Could he be that "pig-like teammate"?

"You're not mistaken? Are you sure it's him? "And what is the reason for him to make such a great effort to do this? You must know that if this matter is revealed, I'm afraid he, the head of the cabinet, will not be able to do it. He is now under one person, under ten thousand people, it is impossible to rise again, he is already the top of the people, what else is worth him to take such a big risk? Is it an undercover agent for wild boar skin? Not really! It is impossible for the wild boar skin to give him an emperor.

"Back to Your Majesty, the criminal minister has no basis, no evidence, can't be sure, only know that the contact with Lu Jiancheng and them is through an intermediary, not directly with Lu Jiancheng and them, so the criminal minister can't say that it must be Shi Ge Lao's doing......" Li Ruolian is also not sure about this matter.

"Are you not sure? So, what is the specific thing about this incident that asked people to make IOUs, you can explain to me the detailed process. Yang Gai found that there is really a conspiracy here, a big conspiracy.

"Back to Your Majesty, here's the thing, at the beginning, the criminal minister only put the seal money outside, although he was also looking for someone who wanted to raise the seal in the Guozi Prison, but he never thought of coming to the Guozi Prison to put the seal money,...... However, then it suddenly came out that Guozijian could use IOUs, and there was no need to borrow Yinzi money anymore, and the criminal ministers were very annoyed by this matter, and felt that this was a bad thing for His Majesty, so he found Lu Jian Cheng and Tang Zhushu, who were allowed to use IOUs to enter the prison at that time, and wanted to ask them to understand, because the minister felt that this matter was strange, and His Majesty did not allow Guozijian to use IOUs to offset accounts, why did this Lu Jian Cheng and Tang Zhushu dare to advocate and change the rules...... "Li Ruolian said here, he had become very calm, and looked up at the emperor, See if the emperor listens to himself.

"Interesting, interesting, go on, go on......" Yang Gai was very interested in the "gossip" in it.

“…… The criminal found Lu Jian Cheng and asked him why he could use an IOU to settle the account, and the criminal said that His Majesty had never made such a will, and he was going to kill the head ......, and the criminal scare him like this, and Lu Jian Cheng told the truth, according to him, there were big people in the court who said that the lifting of people to prison because of the suddenness of the incident, and they could not take out a lot of money temporarily, in order to facilitate the lifting of people into prison, they cared about the scholars, and asked for permission to use IOUs to enter the prison, and they would return it later, saying that this was a convenience for the lifting people, and said that this was a good treatment of the scholars. So, Lu Jian Cheng and them also believed it, so they made their own opinions, and the next day, there was an IOU to go to prison, so all of a sudden, many people were imprisoned......" Li Ruolian swallowed his saliva.

Yang Gengai sat on the chair, tilted his head, listened carefully to Li Ruolian's story, and kept tapping his fingers on the armrests of the chair, this thing is weird! Scary.

"......, the criminal asked Lu Jiancheng about this matter, is there any of the above words? Lu Jiancheng said no, according to him, it was just a subordinate who came to him with Shi Ge's old post, saying that this was a private matter, not a good article, and let Lu Jiancheng and them do it, and the benefits were indispensable to them, so Lu Jiancheng didn't want him, so he believed it, and did it according to this person's instructions......"

"Isn't that what Lu Jian Cheng and that Tang Master Book have no brains? This kind of thing that is not written, they dare to do it? Aren't you afraid of killing your head and losing your head? "Yang Reform is very curious, is the eunuch and the master of the country's eunuch a pig? Do you dare to do such a headless and brainless thing? If there is any text as a basis, they can't be blamed for this, now it's good, a subordinate can let them do this with a post, it seems that the IQ of these two pigs is really not good!

Li Ruolian peeked at the emperor and found that the emperor didn't seem to be angry, so he said: "Back to Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter has something to do with the situation of Lu Jian Cheng and Master Tang,...... Because they are involved in the Wei case, ...... according to today's ...... They may be dismissed......" Li Ruolian spoke, slurring and half-cutting.

Two petty officials involved in the Wei case? Is it to keep his official position and to reach the peak, so he agreed to such a ridiculous request?

"Are you saying that the two of them, involved in the Wei case, may be dismissed, so the ministers of the court promised them that if they do so, they can be exempted from dismissal or something?" Yang made a guess.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, according to Lu Jian Cheng, Tang Zhu Shu They said that they had the promise of the important ministers of the court, promising that if they did so, they could be exempted from dismissal, or help them transfer out of the Guozijian, Lu Jiancheng, Tang Zhucheng They were afraid that the new officials would do something to them after they took office, so they were eager to find a ......way out, and felt that since this matter had the promise of the important ministers of the court, there was a very legitimate reason for this matter, and there was no chief official in the country, even if they made a mistake at that time, they could have a reason to prevaricate in the past, so, I just agreed to it......"

Listening to Li Ruolian's explanation, Yang Gai seemed to see two cases involving Wei, and he was terrified, in order to keep his official position, he did not hesitate to take great risks to do this kind of thing that would kill his head, he could only say that these two people were really dizzy, carried away by interests, and did not consider the consequences of this matter, of course, maybe they felt that there was a good excuse for this matter to be used as a shield, even if they did something wrong, the emperor would not do anything to them, because after all, this matter is convenient for scholars and scholars in the world, The premise is good, to blame, it is impossible to treat them badly. In their opinion, the benefits and efforts of this matter are very worthwhile, and if they don't do anything, they will be dismissed, and if they try, they may be able to grasp a "life-saving" straw.

"So, at the risk of offending me, they overstepped their authority to allow people to use IOUs to go to prison? These two pigs are really killable! Greed blinds the intellect! "Yang Gai is very uninterested in the two people who made a mess of the affairs of Guozijian, and whether he kills or not, it is just a thought.

Li Ruolian saw that the emperor said that he was going to kill these two people, so he hurriedly said good things to the two of them, and said, "Back to Your Majesty, in this matter, Lu Jian Cheng and Tang Zhushu are actually also victims. ”

"They, too, are the victims? Hehe, the person related to the Wei case, I'm afraid he is also a sloppy person, in order to keep his official position, he did such a thing, how can he still be a victim? Yang Gengai looked at Li Ruolian with a smile, this guy, he had one foot stuck in the sand, and he wanted to pull up those two pig-like guys.

Li Ruolian's courage was also very strong, and he organized the language, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister was very angry after learning that the Guozijian could accept IOUs, if so, how can the guilty minister's seal money be released?" Wouldn't it be to live up to His Majesty's expectations, so the minister found Lu Jiancheng and asked him for details...... at first, this Lu Jiancheng seemed to have considerable confidence in the important ministers of the court, and he refused to tell the truth about what the criminal minister said, and waited for the important ministers in the court to rescue him, and later, the criminal ministers frightened him, and pointed out to him by the way that the important ministers of the court who promised him had not contacted him at all, but just a subordinate took a post, and said that if something happened in the future, this important minister of the court, as long as he said that there was no such thing, he would have to be guilty, the consequences of offending His Majesty and offending the imperial court, I am afraid that it is not as simple as dismissal,...... After some enlightenment from the criminal minister, Lu Jiancheng finally woke up,...... It turned out that this important minister of the court promised this matter, and there were really people who made trouble from it, this Shi Ge Lao didn't know about it at all, and this person who held Zhou Ge's old post couldn't find ...... at all, and Lu Jian Cheng and the others knew that they had been deceived. Therefore, Lu Jian Cheng and them are also victims. ”

"Huh...... These two guys with the same pig's head have really simple brains! A subordinate, a post, can make them obedient and do things regardless of their surname, Li Ruolian, you still dare to intercede with them? "If it weren't for the fact that Yang Reform was because Li Ruolian was his own person and was doing important things for himself, at this time, I am afraid that he would have been furious.

Hearing the emperor's gloomy words, Li Ruolian unconsciously bent his waist lower, it was impossible to say that he was not afraid, but it seemed that Li Ruolian was still very sure, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, it's not that the criminal ministers give them two intercessions, but the ministers feel that this matter is profitable, and they can be calculated, anyway, the country has already had an IOU, so it is better to make a mistake and make a mistake, and force the prisoners to borrow the money of the guilty ministers on the grounds of IOU inaction, so that the criminal ministers can put more money in the seals, and they can also collect more silver, Therefore, there was the matter of the later criminal minister entering the country to release the seal money, and this matter was the result of the discussion between the criminal minister and the Lu eunuch......"

It seems that in order to save their lives, the two pigs of Guozijian turned to cooperate with Li Ruolian. I'm afraid that I fell in love with Li Ruolian's identity of putting Yinzi money for the emperor, and wanted to use this to tie up with the emperor, otherwise, it would be impossible for this Yinzi money to be put in the lobby of the Guozijian.

"Hehe, that is to say, the Lu Eunuch and the Tang Master of the National Eunuch have already taken refuge in you? Hehe, in the special period when there is no sacrificial wine, no business, and the old and new officials alternate, you can calmly put Yinzi money in the Guozijian? Yang Reform still said with a smile, this Li Ruolian's courage is not ordinary fat, means, not ordinary power.

Li Ruolian listened to the emperor's words, and he could bear to accept this kind of statement from the court officials, and if he sat down, then he had no other way but to rebel. Constantly kowtowing, explaining: "The minister is guilty! Guilty! How dare the minister let the court order the officials to take refuge in the guilty ministers, and the ministers will be sentenced to death! Capital crime! ”

Looking at the guy who hit his head on the ground, Yang Gai was angry that this guy's guts were too fat, but, think about it, this IOU, I'm afraid it hit this guy's death hole, if someone can be raised without borrowing money, then who will he put his seal money to? Didn't you force him to die? As the saying goes, blocking people's financial paths, such as killing their parents, this time, the IOU is not only blocking his financial road, but also blocking his future, not forcing him into a corner, I am afraid that he will not cooperate with the two pigs of Guozijian and put the usury in the lobby of Guozijian.

Yang Reform is a little considerate of this guy, and it is difficult for him to do things here! I just don't know who the guy who used this trick is, Shi Fenglai can basically be ruled out, it can never be Shi Fenglai, the first assistant, who is behind the scenes, and I don't know what this person's purpose is? Is it just to point Li Ruolian's death hole? That's not right! Li Ruolian is just a small hundred, even if he can grow, he will only be a thousand households in the future, which is not worth mentioning compared to Shoufu Shi Fenglai! Shi Fenglai didn't hurt enough to use tricks to frame a small hundred households, was it aimed at himself? It's not quite like that! Even if everyone knows that this Li Ruolian is a usury for himself, so what, there is no evidence to prove this, who dares to say anything, everyone did it like this, this matter has been shaken out, and others dare not pay back their own money, and they will not have any losses at all, so who is this person's purpose against? Yang was puzzled by the reform.
