Chapter 239: The Old Lady of the Zhen Family in the Red Chamber (16)

Outside the government office

Officials and scholars with solid evidence did not protest as calmly as before.

Everyone was excited.

A few grumpy scholars even began to storm the yamen, asking the people in the yamen to come out and give an explanation, and asking the Jiangnan Mansion Yin to come out and give an explanation, and the people behind were also coaxing, and even followed some scholars to attack the yamen together.

For this matter, the most afraid is not the officials, nor the scholars, but the ordinary people, no matter how much they kill the black households, they will not kill the officials and scholars, but what about them, the common people, now the government can kill the people with household registration as black households, why can't they be killed as black households in the future?

So naturally there is a lot of trouble.

Of course, this is also indispensable for the arbor faction to stir up trouble in the middle and arouse the mood of the masses.

Many things, everyone actually knows right and wrong in their hearts, but there is a lack of a leader, a lack of a person who takes the lead in shouting and protesting.

For example, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

Their uprising, that is equivalent to taking the lead in shouting, as long as everyone is dissatisfied in their hearts at this time, then they can respond to every call, and this matter is not a headless uprising, there are even officials and scholars in front of them, and they are naturally not afraid of anything when they shout loudly in the back.

Soon, more and more people gathered, and the voice of begging for explanations became louder and louder, so big that they hit the yamen and rushed into the ears of Jiangnan Mansion Yin.

Inside the government

Yin Wang Hongzhen of Jiangnan Mansion listened to the louder and louder voices outside, irritable, pacing back and forth in the hall, and only when the person in charge of this matter broke in and said that it was not good, then he scolded:

"You shit, didn't you tell me this morning that this thing must be foolproof?

This is called foolproof, and now the situation outside is called foolproof, so you tell me, what would it look like if it was lost?

Wouldn't there be a civil rebellion? ”

"My lord, this is all an accident.

It stands to reason that if the plan goes well, it should be foolproof, and the relatives of those salt workers are obviously far away from this and should not know about it at all, but now they suddenly jump out somehow, these are really too strange?

By the way, my lord, there must be someone who is secretly working against us and deliberately stirring up the masses. ”

The person who came in was a capital head of Jiangnan Mansion, and he was considered an officer, and he proposed and carried out the thorough investigation of the black household this time, and those participating soldiers were all under him.

The reason why he came here was, of course, because the situation outside was so bad, and he couldn't hold it anymore, so he came to find a way.

"It stands to reason that you can pit this official to death, you can tell me, what should I do about the situation outside, whether I can send troops to suppress it or explain it, if the news leaks out because of this matter, you and I will not end well.

You find a way to solve it yourself, if you can't solve it this afternoon, then don't blame me for taking you to blame, after all, those people were killed by your soldiers, I just gave an order to investigate the black households, and I didn't let you kill anyone. ”

Wang Hongzhen is also an old fox who has been an official for nearly 30 years, how can he not know that he must be fully prepared to do anything, and he must be prepared to be a scapegoat who can be pushed out at any time.

Therefore, when the order was issued, the order was deliberately written very vaguely, and even if it was investigated at that time, it would at most investigate him for the crime of not investigating, and he would be fined a few years of silver.

Who is still lacking that little bit of money these days?

"What? Be! ”

Although Zhang Dutou was very angry in his heart and his fists were already clenched, he didn't dare to make any moves, so he could only turn around and leave angrily.

Leave and think of a solution.

Of course, Wang Hongzhen didn't dare to let him do things alone, if this kind of military attache was in a hurry, he might not be able to make any trouble, so he had to send someone to watch, and once he wanted to make something unfavorable to him, let the person watching kill him on the spot.

Let's talk about arbors.

Of course, she couldn't stop there, but she had to spread the news further, not only to let people continue to spread the news further, but also to send someone to find a few surviving salt workers, tell them about the situation, and remind them that only the bigger the trouble, the safer they were.

The salt workers were not smart, but they were so clear that they were not so stupid as to not understand, so they quickly joined forces and walked into the city and began to tell their stories.

At this moment, the public opinion in the entire Jiangnan Mansion City completely exploded, and everyone was discussing that someone was wantonly making illicit salt near Jiangnan Mansion, and it was even possible to collude with the government and the Jiangnan Mansion Yin, otherwise Jiangnan Mansion Yin would not have given such an order to kill all these salt workers who were rescued.

Things have come to this point, it has long been no longer a mere capital, and even Jiangnan Mansion Yin can suppress it, many officials have angrily gone back to write an excerpt to play impeachment, and at the same time, there are also officials who have united to go to Jiangnan Mansion to the governor, the governor has sued, asking the governor to thoroughly investigate the matter and trap Fu Yin.

A state capital has three supreme governors.

The governor is in charge of military affairs, the governor is in charge of civil affairs, and the governor can manage both sides, but he does not need to be in charge of the details, he only needs to preside over the overall situation.

This matter is so big, the two of them absolutely dare not ignore it, especially the governor, the governor can stay out of the matter, saying that this matter is not within his scope of responsibility, at most he will order to punish the head, but the governor not only has to take care of it at this time, but also has to quickly report all the news found to the holy through the secret fold, and ask for the holy ruling.

After two days, the news had even spread to other state capitals on the edge of Jiangnan Mansion, and the officials of the prince's line were about to die of headaches, but at this time, they didn't dare to do anything to kill people like before, after all, that person was also the Yin of the First Mansion, and there were many governors and governors around him to watch, which was so easy to kill.

At this time, the people sent out by Zhen Shijia finally transferred the evidence collected by Qiao Mu through layers of layers, and finally sent it to the eldest prince's mansion for the eldest prince to see with his own eyes.

Thus, the impeachment of the court officially began.

First of all, there were more than a dozen imperial historians in the court to jointly impeach the Jiangnan Mansion Yin, and then the Jiangnan Mansion governor's secret fold, and after the two sides finished speaking, before the emperor or other ministers discussed, a royal historian in the line of the great prince stood up again.

Impeached the prince for plundering the people, stealing and cooking illicit salt for a profit of 50 million taels, and after the matter was exposed, he also killed a large number of ordinary civilians who were looted and treated as slaves, and ordered the Jiangnan Mansion Yin to kill the fleeing people.

Before the impeachment is completed, there will be an uproar.
