Indeed, as some people speculated, Fang Yingwu did not really cut down the five battalion officers at the beginning. When he was ordered to supervise the dredging of the river, he was worried that he was too young to control the scene, so he brought a few death row inmates from the prison to be beheaded in the autumn for later use.

Later, when he encountered a sergeant making trouble, he asked Zhang Gui and others to act according to the plan, cut a few death row prisoners in the alley, and then pretended to be the head of the troublesome battalion officer, and showed the public from afar, so as to deter the soldiers and civilians who were conscripted and sent to serve.

As for the later, it was just that Fang Yingwu's bad taste had an attack, which led to the desire to use it to fish and repair some potential political enemies, which happened to be used by Zhang Shilang to compete for the secretary of the military department.

But now, because of his continuous highlight, everyone looks at themselves with all their conspiracy, so they can't continue fishing. If they all knew it was bait, who would take the bait?

Moreover, in retrospect, yesterday some family members of the "dead" battalion officers went to the yamen to ask for their bodies, and probably some people became suspicious and instructed these family members to come to the yamen to conduct a trial.

Fang Yingwu went to visit Zhang Shilang of the Ministry of War again, and told him truthfully: "If this is the case, you and I can't continue to plan, so we can only stop here." ”

Zhang Shilang, who had already been provoked, was a little unwilling, but he also sighed helplessly.

Originally, the plan was very promising, but when the argument between himself and the opposition reached a climax, Fang Yingwu moved out a few battalion officers and took out a few confessions that were tortured into confessions, stating that these people were instructed by someone to destroy the dredging fortifications, so no one on the opposing side could bear it, otherwise they would become suspected accomplices of several battalion officers.

I didn't expect that it would be stopped in the middle of the process, but the reason was that Fang Yingwu was too highlight, which led to an unexpected situation. It's really a bit of a "plan for people, success in heaven" and "not a crime of war".

Zhang Shilang also understood that it was not interesting to continue forcibly. If the Criminal Department or the Metropolitan Procuratorate came to inquire about Fang Yingwu, it would be impossible for Fang Yingwu to cover up whether the battalion officers were dead or alive. Then the yamen of the ministry took a few more battalion officers away, and Fang Yingwu and himself were completely out of holes.

After seeing Zhang Shilang return to the Yamen, Fang Zhixian called Zhang Gui, the head of the general team, and ordered the release of the five small battalion officers who were secretly imprisoned in the deepest part of the county prison.

Fang Yingwu's move was naturally concerned, and after the news spread, the government and the opposition discussed, it seems that Fang Zhixian, who is full of wisdom, finally took the initiative to soften this time!

to this kind of discussion. Fang Yingwu is not in a rut. I don't have the ability to block the mouths of the people, so I can only let it go, anyway, it doesn't hurt. However, just when Fang Yingwu and the other spectators thought that this matter was over, it backfired and could not be stopped.

The five small battalion officers left the county jail and returned to freedom. On the third day, he ran to the Metropolitan Inspectorate. It is more than 8,000 words. The tearful accuser should arrest innocent people and illegally detain them, and they must seek justice.

Okay, let's say that Fang Yingwu indiscriminately arrested innocent people and illegally detained them or something. This can barely be regarded as having facts and evidence. Although no one believed that a few small battalion officers had the ability to bring down the powerful Fang Yingwu, if those small battalion officers went out to make trouble, they should always be able to give Fang Yingwu a headache for a while.

The government and the opposition turned their attention to Fang Zhixian again, not knowing how to deal with the stubborn beating of these small battalion officials.

Fang Yingwu did not hurry up and wrote a note, but the content had nothing to do with the recent turmoil, and it was still about repairing the temple for the younger brother of the Queen Mother:

"The county was edicted to build Ciren Temple in the northwest of the Bell and Drum Tower, so far the preliminary survey has been completed, the land deed has been divided, and the skilled craftsmen have gathered more than 50 people. However, 1,500 people were still needed to start the work, and the civil service of the county was overwhelmed, so he begged His Majesty to allocate sergeants in the Beijing camp to undertake the mission.

In addition, His Majesty issued 30,000 taels of internal funds before, which was enough to make the early expenditure, and if the subsequent expenditure was made by the county treasury, he begged His Majesty to approve the establishment of a market tax customs at the former site of Baoguo Temple outside Xuanwu Gate, and the tax and silver were halved according to Chongwenmen, which was called a special zone, and attracted business travelers from all over the world to enter the market.

The collection of silver money can be used for the construction of Ciren Temple, so that it is not necessary to bother His Majesty, second, there is no need to levy people's endowments, and third, there is no need to use the Taicang treasury. ”

After this letter was sent to Ouchi, it didn't take long for an edict to be issued, accusing the five battalion officers of Wanping County Governor Fang Yingwu of all being dismissed as sergeants, and the whole family was sent to serve in the Ningxia Wei Chong Army.

Later, the Metropolitan Procuratorate found out that the five battalion officers were making trouble on the construction site and accusing Fang Ying, and they were all instructed by An Pingbo behind them. Ouchi sent an edict to demote the hereditary An Pingbo, who had nothing to do, to the hereditary commander.

Some people didn't know why Bai Zi's reaction was so quick for a while, and they quickly disposed of the five battalion officers. But someone with a discerning eye quickly analyzed it.

Fang Yingwu was responsible for supervising the construction of the Ciren Temple, and when he was in charge, he talked about the need for 1,500 military service, which was obviously not without purpose. And those small battalion officers because of the last dredging fortification problem, endlessly gave Fang Yingwu eye medicine, isn't this damaging the prestige of Fang Yingwu's military service?

In order to maintain the prestige of Fang Yingwu and ensure the progress of this key project of Ciren Temple, the Son of Heaven must kill chickens and monkeys! The five little ants are insignificant, and if they annoy the Son of Heaven, they will only be unlucky.

All in all, Fang Yingwu is still the one who Fang Yingwu wants to fall into the well and take advantage of the fire to rob, so forget it.

But soon, another edict appeared in front of the princes of the imperial court, which immediately grabbed everyone's attention. This edict came very suddenly, appointing Yin Zhi as the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites.

According to the rules, generally high-ranking officials of ministries and courts have to go through the procedure of court pushing, but only the official department is the exception, which can be directly appointed by the edict of the Son of Heaven, which is not considered a violation of the law. Because the Ministry of Officials holds the power of the government, this power nominally belongs to the Son of Heaven, and the Ministry of Officials is only in charge, so the appointment of the Ministry of Officials and the Cabinet of Scholars can be decided by the Son of Heaven in the same way as the Cabinet Scholars.

It is not surprising that Yin Zhi was appointed as the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Justice, but it is very strange in this context

As we all know, Yin Zhi has been an official in Nanjing, and this time he aimed at the position of secretary of the military department with the support of Wan Shoufu, and he was the biggest candidate.

At this juncture, the Son of Heaven suddenly appointed Yin Zhi as the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials, which is very meaningful, in fact, it means that he has excluded the biggest popular candidate for the secretary of the Ministry of War. In other words, could it be that the Son of Heaven has a preferred candidate?

The answer was soon revealed, and on the list of candidates for the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, there was only Zhang Peng, the left attendant of the Ministry of War.

The Manchu Dynasty was shocked when he learned the news, could it be that Fang Yingwu had the ability to be unpredictable? And Fang Yingwu was even more shocked, somehow, he remembered the old Taishan Liu Mian, who was guarding in Boye County, two hundred miles away.

It seems that there is an invisible big hand, stretching from Boye County to the capital to manipulate the military department Shangshu to fight for this matter, but the shrewdness of Fang Yingwu can't understand it.

Suddenly feeling a cold sweat flowing down from his back, Fang Yingwu said to Liu Dagongzi with a wry smile: "It seems that this official can't leave Old Taishan." (To be continued......)
