Yang Zhenzhong saw Yin Zhutou's embarrassed face, and was about to ask again, but Yin Zhutou bit his teeth and told Liang Huan about his embarrassment.

After hearing this, Yang Zhenzhong just let out a faint "oh", thought for a while, and said to Yin Zhutou: "Right now, the City God Temple is guarded by officers and soldiers from the Dewei, and there will be no chaos, so you don't have to go over." However, the county yamen is the center of Xiuwu County, please be careful, after dawn, this official will discuss things with Lord Liang and Lord Huang in the yamen. ”

Yin Zhutou nodded again and again, and finally confessed his guilt, and took a group of arresters to turn around and go back to the county yamen.

After everyone left, Yang Zhenzhong sighed and said, "Liang Huan is indeed a straw bag, but the officials take a big exam every three years, and they can report a 'Zhuo Yi' every time." In recent years, major cases have occurred frequently in Henan, and there are more backlogs, and the people are full of complaints. Liang Huan has risen step by step, from a seven-pin county to the prosecutor in charge of criminal cases in Henan Province. Henan officialdom is smoky, and the people are naturally unconvinced. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "Your Excellency is in charge of the Jinyi Guard, since you know these things, why don't you report them to the emperor?"

Yang Zhenzhong smiled bitterly and said, "There are more than a dozen excerpts of Liang Huan every year, but there are more excerpts for him." The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Rites all sent important officials to Henan to openly and secretly investigate whether Liang Huan had any bad deeds of corrupting the law. Every time, I thought that I could investigate Liang Huan, but I didn't want these important people to praise Liang Huan to the cabinet after they returned to the capital. Several imperial historians of Henan Province have impeached Liang Huan with a few bullets, but after walking around Henan, the tone of the capital has changed greatly, and when I see people, I will talk about the good coming of this Lord Liang, do you say that it is strange? Although I am in charge of Jinyiwei, I am not impeaching whoever I want. From now on, he ascended the throne and regained a lot of authority from the Jinyi Guard. If the imperial history knew that I had impeached the officials, I was afraid that Liang Huan would not fall, and I would have been imprisoned first. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "My lord went to Henan in person this time, what I saw and heard, I should know what kind of official this Lord Liang is." ”

Yang Zhenzhong said: "I have lived in Henan for half a month, and the case of Yuntai Mountain was committed by the Japanese in collusion with the scum of the rivers and lakes, so naturally it has nothing to do with Liang Huan." These turmoil in Xiuwu County were caused by the four families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du in Fengmen Village, together with the Xu family, and the widows of Liusheng Zongyan and Jinshan Island. Lord Liang was not only at fault in this incident, but was held hostage by the Japanese and escaped with his life, so naturally there was no fault. If you hand bullets to the emperor to impeach him, in what name? You can't say that he is 'as timid as a mouse, fearful of the enemy like a tiger, and full of and urine'? Liang Huan has someone behind him, and these people are so powerful that I am afraid that even the emperor will not be able to help them. ”

Li Qiufeng remembered what Yin Zhutou had just said about Liang Huan's embarrassed appearance, but he was also funny in his heart. It's just that after thinking about it, the officials of the Ming Dynasty have been so despicable that they are afraid of a great disaster in the future, but right now, their hearts are heavy again.

Yang Zhenzhong walked forward again, and Li Qiufeng walked behind him. Yang Zhenzhong said as he walked: "Hu Kun did not have the transfer order of the Ministry of War, so he mobilized troops and horses without authorization, and approached Xiuwu County, and this matter has been detected by Jinyi Wei. Because we didn't know what he was going to do at first, and thought he wanted to rebel, Master Xu and I were quite nervous. Later, some people forged official documents, mobilized the soldiers and horses of Guidewei and Suiyangwei, and marched to Xiuwu County. In desperation, I had to send someone to rush back to the capital in the starry night, take the order from the military department, and ask the right attendant of the military department, Lord Zhou, to come in person. Lord Zhou intercepted the soldiers and horses of Gui Dewei and Suiyang Wei on the road, collected the military power, and stationed the soldiers and horses twenty miles north of the city. It was not until the Japanese invaders dispersed that the soldiers and horses of these two guards entered the city and pressed them. With Lord Zhou sitting in Xiuwu County, no one can mobilize these three guards and horses, even if someone still wants to make trouble, they can't make a mess. ”

Yang Zhenzhong paused slightly when he said this, and then said: "These thousands of things are like a mess. Originally, the Japanese wanted to cause trouble in the Ming Dynasty, which was also mixed with the enmity between the five families of Fengmen Village and the Xu family, and also involved the disputes of various factions in the rivers and lakes. Even now, there are some joints in it, and I still can't figure it out. Fortunately, this time it is a great thing to hit the Japanese invaders of Yanagi Zongyan and Jinshan Island. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "It turns out that adults have long known that this Liu Zongyan is an impostor. ”

Yang Zhenzhong said: "I knew this person more than ten years ago. Hehe, this Fusang man is extremely cunning and has high martial arts, and it is not easy to restrain him. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "Although Yanagi Zongyan is cunning, he is not the opponent of Lord Yang. At that time, Lord Yang used this person to lure the masters of Jinyiwei and Dongchang to Huguang Xingxing to offer the tomb of the king, and killed them on a large scale. But he did a big thing in Nanjing, and this is why he has inherited the unification today. A few months ago, it was another adult's clever calculation, after three battles of the Imperial Tomb, Yong'an City, and Hutouyan Shajiabao, the comeback Yanagi Zongyan was greatly damaged. In this battle of Xiuwu County, the Lord led the Jinyi Guard to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and without much effort, he severely damaged the Japanese Kou of Liusheng Zongyan and Jinshan Island. After this battle, the elite of Yanagi Zongyan's men have been killed and wounded, and I am afraid that he will not be able to make any more waves. The ability of adults to turn their hands into clouds and cover their hands for rain is really admirable. ”

Li Qiufeng's words were implied with sarcasm, how could Yang Zhenzhong not hear it? It's just that he wasn't angry, he just smiled slightly, and said, "If Yanagi Zongyan is interested, he should have turned to Fusang earlier." If you still think about vain things, I'm afraid that his old bones will be thrown in our Ming Dynasty. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "With the strategy of the adults, Liu Sheng Zongyan could have been captured or killed tonight, why didn't he stop him in the end?"

Yang Zhenzhong said: "The rebellion of the Japanese invaders has existed since the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Although the name of Fuso is a country, it is actually divided, and the princes are constantly attacking each other. The defeated Fuso warriors fled to the sea, gathered together, and became a large group of pirates, invading the southeast coast of our Ming Dynasty. In order to make huge profits, some traitors of the Ming Dynasty colluded with these Japanese robbers, plundering merchant ships at sea on the one hand, and landing and looting property from time to time, killing and injuring the people. If you want to completely cut off the trouble of the Japanese invaders, the first thing is to restrain the defeated Fuso warriors from Fusang, so that they cannot escape from Fusang and come to our Ming Dynasty to loot and kill people. The second is to prevent the traitors from colluding with the Japanese and committing evil together. In fact, among the Japanese who ravaged the southeast coast, the main ones were Han Chinese. These people hide behind the pirates and use them to do things for them. Without these traitors, there would be no climate at all. Over the years, Jinyiwei has sent many spies to hide among the pirates, just to find out who is behind the scenes.

"Although Yagyu Soiwa is a native of Fuso, he is different from the Japanese on the southeast coast. This person is ambitious, and what he wants is not gold, silver and jewelry, but the Ming Dynasty. He tried several times to recruit the Japanese in the southeast coastal area, but in the end they all broke up. The reason why the Japanese have not advanced north over the years is because Yanagi Zongyan regards the north of Shandong as a forbidden territory, and will never allow the Japanese on the southeast coast to get involved. It is because the two sides contain each other, which saves us a lot of effort. If Yanagi Zongyan dies, the Japanese will have no scruples and will inevitably go north. At that time, from the southeast coast to the Liaodong Sea, I am afraid that there will be Japanese pirates everywhere. It will be more difficult to completely eradicate the Japanese invaders. I can't kill Yagyu Zongyan, at least not yet. ”

The two talked and talked, and before they knew it, they had arrived near the yamen of Zhixian County. From a distance, you can see that the lights are bright in front of the yamen, and dozens of fast catchers are standing in front of the door with torches in their hands, and the guards are very strict. Yang Zhenzhong said: "I don't think we have to go to the Yamen, how about going to Nancheng?"

Li Qiufeng nodded, and the two turned south. Yang Zhenzhong said: "A few months ago, when I was in the imperial mausoleum, I also said to Li Baihu that the Ming Dynasty seems to be strong and prosperous at the moment, but in fact, it is full of dangers, and it is necessary to contribute to the Ming Dynasty with outstanding people like Li Baihu." Let me ask again today, is Li Baihu willing to return to Jinyiwei and do something vigorous?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "The kindness of the adults, Li Mou's heart understands." It's just that the adult Fang just said that a stupid and greedy person like Liang Huan can be left and right in the officialdom, so naturally there are bigger officials behind him. When Li was in the capital, everything he saw and heard was shocking, and he thought that he was not the material to be an official. Wouldn't it be nice to be at ease on the rivers and lakes and be an idle cloud and wild crane? Thank you for your favor, please forgive Li for not obeying his fate. ”
