Chapter 1236 - Pushing the Boat with the Current
"Lord Wang, no wonder Jinyi Wei wants to supervise the case of the He family, it turns out that they don't want to seek justice with the dead Zhao Du commander, but have selfish intentions!" Wang Wen also reacted at this time, and couldn't help but say to Li Yuntian.
In this way, it can explain why Jinyiwei's people paid so much attention to He's murder case, and did not hesitate to put pressure on Zheng Xiang, who tried the case, so that Zheng Xiang convicted He's murder of his husband according to Jinyiwei's intentions.
"If you see that adulterer again, will you recognize him?" Li Yuntian groaned for a moment and looked at Zhao Si with a serious expression.
To be honest, Li Yuntian thought at first that the He family's murder case was a trap set by Wang Zhen for Xue Xuan, but now it seems that this is not the case, there must be something unknown going on here, which led to today's result.
In order to find out the reason, Li Yuntian believes that it is very important to find out the adulterer, and perhaps he can find some valuable clues from the adulterer.
"Lord Wang, the villain can recognize the adulterer." Zhao Si thought about it when he heard this, and nodded affirmatively to Li Yuntian, after all, it hadn't been long since the incident had passed, and he was frightened at the time, so he could have a deep impression of the adulterer's appearance.
"That's good, you stay in the Metropolitan Procuratorate these days." Li Yuntian nodded when he heard this, and asked Yun Na to send someone to take Zhao Si down, and he gained a lot from Zhao Si, and unexpectedly learned the identity of the adulterer.
"Lord Wang, Jinyiwei is not easy to check." After Zhao Si left, Wang Wen frowned and looked at Li Yuntian, Jinyi Wei was the emperor's guard, it was not easy to check them, and he needed to get the imperial permission of the orthodox emperor.
"Let's see who that adulterer is first, and then think of countermeasures." Li Yuntian naturally knew this, and said with a slight smile, since the Yue family had an affair with that adulterer in Xiuzhuang, then the boss of Xiuzhuang would definitely know some inside information.
Because it was too late to go to the embroidery village to detain the cadres, and Li Yuntian and Wang Wenming had a lot of affairs to do, Li Yuntian asked Wang Wen to go back to rest and prepare to go to the embroidery village early tomorrow morning to investigate.
In Li Yuntian's opinion, since the main people involved in the He murder case and Xue Xuan's bribery case are in the hands of Jinyiwei, he must take down the embroidery village and find out the identity of the adulterer, so that he will not be passive.
Wang Wen bowed to Li Yuntian and left quickly, because the gate of the imperial city was closed, he had to go back to his public room to sleep for the night, and secretly glad in his heart that Li Yuntian was in charge of the overall situation, otherwise the He case would never be able to be investigated.
Early the next morning, the gate of the imperial city had just opened, and Li Yuntian and Wang Wen, who were dressed in civilian clothes, left the imperial city surrounded by the officials of the Imperial Court and the guards of the Zhongwang Mansion, and came to an embroidery village in the south of the city.
Since it was still early, the embroidery village had not yet opened, and two servants stepped forward and slammed the door.
"Who, the early morning doesn't let people live in peace." Not long after, a lazy voice came from inside the courtyard gate, "Don't knock, you can't afford to pay for it****** if you break it!" ”
"...... you" As he spoke, the courtyard door creaked open, and a young man dressed as a domestic servant yawned and poked his head out of it, asking with a dissatisfied expression.
After seeing clearly that there were officials and soldiers of the government standing outside the door, the young servant's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at the scene in front of him with a stunned expression, not knowing why so many people from the government appeared here in the early morning.
Then the young servant reacted, and ran into the courtyard, apparently wanting to report the news.
But before he could run a few steps, a sturdy palace guard caught up with him, kicked him to the ground, threw a dog to eat, and lay on the ground unable to get up.
This young servant is still too young, if he has a little more experience, he will honestly stand there at this time, it is obvious that this is the government is handling the case, he has committed a big taboo by running away like this, and he will be regarded as a comrade, and then he will die unjustly.
"Stay here, and don't let anyone go in or out." Li Yuntian and Wang Wen sat in the four-wheeled carriage, surrounded by palace guards, Yun Na, who was riding a horse next to the carriage, stretched out her hand and pointed to the courtyard of the embroidery village, and gave an order in a coquettish voice.
With Yun Na's command, the errands who gathered on the street outside the courtyard gate suddenly swarmed the embroidery village, and the calm embroidery village immediately became lively, with chickens flying and dogs jumping, and there was chaos.
"Lord Wang, the situation inside has been controlled." After less than a quarter of an hour, Yun Na opened the door of the carriage and reported to Li Yuntian in a deep voice.
"Let's go, let's see." Hearing this, Li Yuntian bowed slightly to Wang Wen, who was sitting opposite him, and walked out of the carriage, and Zheng Xiang, who was following behind the carriage, and other supervisors of the Imperial Court hurriedly rushed over, and surrounded Li Yuntian and Wang Wen into the embroidery village.
"Do you know what this place is? Do you know how many guests there are? Tell you, as long as the old lady says hello to you, don't want to wear this official shirt on your body, if you know each other, get out of here! ”
As soon as he entered the front yard of Xiuzhuang, Li Yuntian heard a woman's commanding voice coming from the reception hall, and looked up to see a middle-aged woman with scattered hair pointing viciously at a round-faced master of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
What made Li Yuntian feel a little strange was that there were not only many young women in the hall, but also many men who were well-dressed but had messy hairstyles, gathered in groups of three or five to whisper something, yawning from time to time, and it could be seen from their worried eyes that these men had just gotten up.
"Could it be that this embroidery village sells dog meat with a sheep's head?" Li Yuntian's brows suddenly frowned slightly, and he thought to himself in his heart.
The embroidery village was originally a place for women to learn female workers, but as a result, so many men stayed overnight, so that the taste of this could change, and nine times out of ten it was a brothel under the banner of embroidery.
The Ming Dynasty couldn't help brothels, many literati and high-ranking officials and magnates were proud of prostitutes, and their meeting places were in brothels, but those brothels had to be reported in the yamen, and if they didn't report, the yamen would be looking for trouble.
If Li Yuntian is not mistaken, this embroidery village is a brothel, which is often referred to as a secret kiln, and it has not been reported in the government.
"Who is it that wants to move the people of my Metropolitan Procuratorate?" Seeing that the middle-aged woman was menacing, Li Yuntian nodded to Wang Wen on the side, Wang Wen would come to his senses and said coldly to the middle-aged woman.
"You're from the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" The middle-aged woman couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, she didn't know the identity of the group of errands who broke in until now, and thought that it was the people from Shuntianfu, but she didn't expect it to be the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which was greatly unexpected by her, and it was obvious that the Metropolitan Procuratorate was much more difficult than Shuntianfu.
"What's going on?" Wang Wen ignored the middle-aged woman, glanced at the men in the hall who were hiding his face with their hands to avoid his gaze, and asked in a deep voice to the round-faced master who was reprimanded by the middle-aged woman.
"Your Excellency, these people are all prostitutes." The round-faced master bowed to Wang Wen and replied in a deep voice.
A sneer suddenly flashed at the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth when he heard this, it seems that he guessed correctly, this embroidery village is a dark kiln.
"This lord, we are a family that has been washed away by the flood and the Dragon King Temple does not recognize the family, this embroidery village is the property of the left deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, you can see if you can raise your hand." At this time, the middle-aged woman twisted her waist and came to Wang Wen with a smile, stepped forward and whispered.
"Nonsense!" Wang Wen was taken aback when he heard this, he never imagined that the middle-aged woman would say such words, and couldn't help but scold, "Do you know what the crime is for framing the imperial court officials?" ”
"This lord, the woman didn't lie to you, this is really Lord Wang's inheritance." Seeing this, the middle-aged woman didn't care, smiled and whispered, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Lord Wang." ”
"Have you seen Lord Wang?" Li Yuntian was very close to Wang Wen, so when he heard the middle-aged woman's words, he couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, and after a deep groan, he stepped forward and asked.
Wang Wen suddenly became nervous when he heard this, although it was the first time he came to this embroidery village, and he didn't know the middle-aged woman at all, but in case this embroidery village was related to his relatives, things would get worse.
"Of course I've seen it, the second prince of Wang once brought Lord Wang here, and it was personally received by the people's women." The middle-aged woman smiled and nodded, lowered her voice and said, "Two adults, you have worked hard to come out this time, the women will not let the two adults return empty-handed, for the sake of Lord Wang, you should raise your hands, so as not to hurt the harmony." ”
Obviously, the middle-aged woman regarded Li Yuntian and Wang Wen as having come to seal up the embroidery village, and she didn't realize that the two men in civilian clothes in front of her had other intentions for this trip.
"I see." Li Yuntian couldn't help but glance at Wang Wen when he heard this, it turned out that a liar took advantage of Wang Wen's reputation to deceive the proprietress of Xiuzhuang, and then said quietly, "There is no basis for what you say, we don't know if what you said is true, if you can let Wang Ergongzi speak, we will leave." ”
"What's so hard about that?" The middle-aged woman was overjoyed when she heard this, and secretly sighed that there were people in the court who were easy to do, so she agreed, "The second prince lives in a house two streets away from here, and the woman will send someone to lead you." ”
"Then there will be labor." Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and said to Zheng Xiang, who was following behind, "When you go, you must see the second son himself." ”
"Xia Guan understands." Zheng Xiang also heard the conversation between Li Yuntian, Wang Wen and the middle-aged woman, and knew that someone was swaggering and deceiving under the banner of Wang Wen, so he bowed quietly and followed the person sent by the middle-aged woman to meet the "second son of Wang".
Wang Wen had already breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and the middle-aged woman claimed to have seen her but couldn't recognize her identity, which was obviously lying.
What is particularly important is that Wang Wen's second son had already gone to Jiangnan to be an official last month, and he was not in the capital at all, so the "second son of Wang" must be a fake.
"I don't know what this eldest sister is called?" After Zheng Xiang left, Li Yuntian stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to the middle-aged woman, led her to the door, and asked as he walked.
"The woman's surname is Han." The middle-aged woman felt that Li Yuntian was not only kind but also easy to speak, so she followed a few steps to catch up, smiling and almost, "I don't know what position the adults hold in the Metropolitan Inspection Institute?" ”
"The official's surname is Li, and he is an imperial historian who has a lot of connections with Lord Wang." Li Yuntian had already prepared and replied quietly, what he said was the truth, Zuodu Yushi is just a kind of imperial history, Wang Wen is his subordinate, and there is naturally a relationship between the two.
"After this incident, the women must tell Lord Wang about Li Yushi's kindness." It's a pity that the middle-aged woman didn't understand the meaning of Li Yuntian's words, and thought that Li Yuntian was just a superintendent of the imperial history, and said to Li Yuntian with a smile.
"Then thank you Sister Han." Hearing this, Li Yuntian arched his hand to the middle-aged woman, smiled and asked, "Listening to Sister Han's tone, it seems that she is from Jiangnan, why did she come to the capital?" ”
"It's not a secret, the woman is a person from the south of the Yangtze River, she opened a green building in Hangzhou, and the business was a little cold, and she met the second son of Wang in Hangzhou three years ago, so she opened this embroidery village in the capital at the invitation of the second son of Wang."
When the middle-aged woman saw Li Yuntian calling her the eldest sister, she suddenly had a good impression of this personable imperial history, and said with a smile, "God bless, under the care of Lord Wang, the business of the embroidery village has been thriving since its opening, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." ”
"I see." Li Yuntian suddenly understood when he heard this, it turned out that this middle-aged woman surnamed Han was deceived by the "Second Prince Wang" to come to the capital, and then Yu Feng changed and said, "Sister Han, since we are all a family, there is one thing that the official hopes that Sister Han can help." ”
"Although Li Yushi speaks, the women will do their best." The middle-aged woman naturally wanted to make friends with a young and promising imperial history like Li Yuntian, and she would have more help in the capital night in the future, so she happily agreed without saying a word.
"That's the case, the official has been in some trouble recently, I don't know if Sister Han knows the people of Jinyiwei, and the official wants to dredge it." Li Yuntian groaned for a moment when he heard this, lowered his voice and said to the middle-aged woman.
"Lord Li, there is nothing the women can do, the women have been in the capital for a short time, and they haven't met anyone from Jinyiwei." The middle-aged woman's eyes flashed with a complicated look when she heard this, and then she shook her head with a regretful expression.
"It's okay, this official will think of a way." Li Yuntian keenly noticed the complicated look in the middle-aged woman's eyes, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he replied with regret.
From this subtle reaction of the middle-aged woman, Li Yuntian was keenly aware that she must know the person of Jinyiwei, but she didn't want to tell the identity of the other party, which made him full of expectations for the identity of that Jinyiwei, if he didn't guess wrong, this guy was Yue's adulterer.
So, Li Yuntian stopped and glanced at Wang Wen who was following behind, he had now got what he wanted, and there was no need to be false with a middle-aged woman.
