A knife in love

Chapter 1084

Seeing Yin Butou's embarrassed face, Yang Zhenzhong was about to ask again, but Yin Butou gritted his teeth and told Liang Huan's embarrassment.

After Yang Zhenzhong heard this, he just said "oh" lightly, thought for a while, and said to Yin Butou: "Right now, there are officers and soldiers from Guidewei guarding the Town God's Temple, so there won't be any trouble, so you don't have to go there. The county magistrate The yamen is the center of Xiuwu County, please take care of it carefully, after dawn, I will discuss matters with Lord Liang and Lord Huang at the yamen."

Catcher Yin nodded again and again, finally confessed his guilt, and led all the arresters back to the magistrate's office.

After everyone left, Yang Zhenzhong sighed, and said, "Liang Huan is indeed an idiot, but the Ministry of Officials takes a big exam every three years, and every time he can apply for a 'Zhuo Yi'. There have been frequent major cases in Henan these years. However, Liang Huan was promoted step by step, from a seventh-rank county magistrate to the inspector in charge of criminal cases in Henan Province. The officialdom in Henan is full of smog, and the people are naturally dissatisfied."

Li Qiufeng said: "My lord is in charge of Jinyiwei, since you know these things, why don't you report them to the emperor?"

Yang Zhenzhong smiled wryly, and said: "There are more than a dozen pieces of papers that participate in Liang Huan's performance every year, but there are more papers that protect him. The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Rites have all sent important officials to Henan to visit Liang Huan overtly and secretly. Does Huan have any bad deeds of corrupting the law? Every time I think Liang Huan can be investigated, but I don’t want these important officials to return to the capital, and they will praise Liang Huan in the cabinet. Several censors of Henan Province once even I tried to impeach Liang Huan a few times, but after walking around Henan, my tone of voice changed drastically when I returned to the capital. Is it strange for you to talk about Mr. Liang when you see him? Impeach whoever you want to impeach. From now on, I ascended the throne from the palace, and took back a lot of Jinyiwei's authority. If Yu Shi knows that I impeached the high officials, I am afraid that Liang Huan will not fall, and I will go to prison first."

Li Qiufeng said: "Your Excellency went to Henan in person this time. From what he saw and heard, he should know what kind of official this Lord Liang is."

Yang Zhenzhong said: "I have lived in Henan for half a month. The Yuntai Mountain case is the result of Japanese pirates colluding with the scum of the rivers and lakes. Naturally, it has nothing to do with Liang Huan. The turmoil in Xiuwu County is caused by Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du Si of Fengmen Village. family, together with the Xu family, and Japanese pirates from Liusheng Zongyan and Jinshan Island. Mr. Liang was not only innocent in this incident, but he was held hostage by Japanese pirates and escaped with his life by chance. Naturally, he is not at fault. What is the name of impeaching him? You can't say that he is "cowardly like a mouse, fears the enemy like a tiger, and pours shit and urine"? There are people behind Liang Huan covering him, and these people are so powerful that even The emperor can't do anything to them."

Li Qiufeng thought of Liang Huan's embarrassment that Yin Tutou had just said, but it was funny in his heart.It's just that after thinking about it, the officials of the Ming Dynasty have been so despicable, and they are afraid that there will be disasters in the future, but right now, their hearts are heavy again.

Yang Zhenzhong moved forward again, and Li Qiufeng walked behind him.Yang Zhenzhong said as he walked: "Hu Kun didn't have the order of the Ministry of War to mobilize troops and horses without authorization, and approached Xiuwu County. This matter has been found out by Jin Yiwei. Because I didn't know what he was going to do at first, I thought he wanted to rebel. Both Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu were quite nervous. Later, someone forged official documents, mobilized the troops of Guidewei and Suiyangwei, and marched towards Xiuwu County. In desperation, I had to send people back to the capital at Xingye, and took the talisman from the Ministry of War Commander, and asked Master Zhou, the right servant of the Ministry of War, to come in person. Master Zhou intercepted the soldiers and horses of Guidewei and Suiyangwei on the road, took over the military power, and stationed the soldiers and horses twenty miles north of the city. Until the Japanese invaders broke up, this The soldiers of the two guards entered the city to suppress them. With Mr. Zhou sitting in Xiuwu County, no one of the three guards can mobilize them. Even if someone wants to make trouble, they will not be able to cause chaos."

When Yang Zhenzhong said this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "These intricate things are like a mess. Originally, the Japanese pirates wanted to bring disaster to the Ming Dynasty, and it was also mixed with the favor of the five families of Fengmen Village and the Xu family. Enmity, and involved disputes among various factions in the rivers and lakes. Even now, some of the joints are still unclear. Fortunately, the Japanese pirates in Liusheng Zongyan and Jinshan Island have been hit hard this time, which is a very good thing."

Li Qiufeng said: "It turns out that my lord already knew that Liu Zongyan was a counterfeit."

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

Li Qiufeng said: "Although Liu Shengzongyan is cunning, he is not the match of Lord Yang. Back then, Lord Yang used this person to lure the masters of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang to the Xingxian King's Tomb in Huguang, where they slaughtered them. But he did it in Nanjing. A major event happened, and this was the successor to the present. A few months ago, it was another master's ingenious plan. After three battles at the Imperial Mausoleum, Yong'an City, and Hutouyan Shajiabao, Liu Shengzongyan, who had made a comeback, was severely injured. This time in the battle of Xiuwu County, the Lord led Jin Yiwei to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. They effortlessly hit Liusheng Zongyan and the Japanese pirates on Jinshan Island. I can't turn up any storms anymore. My lord's ability to turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain is really admirable."

Li Qiufeng's words implied sarcasm, why couldn't Yang Zhenzhong hear it?It's just that he wasn't angry, just smiled slightly, and said: "If Liu Sheng Zongyan is sensible, he should return to Fusang earlier. If he still thinks about false things, I'm afraid he will throw his old bones at our Ming Dynasty .”

Li Qiufeng said: "Based on your lord's strategy, Liu Sheng Zongyan could have been captured or killed tonight, why didn't he be stopped in the end?"

Yang Zhenzhong said: "The Japanese pirate rebellion existed at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Although Fusang Kingdom is called a country, it is actually torn apart, and the princes are constantly attacking each other. The defeated Fusang warriors fled to the sea and gathered together. It became a large group of pirates and invaded the southeast coast of our Ming Dynasty. Some traitors of Ming Dynasty colluded with these Japanese pirates in order to make huge profits. The most important thing about the troubles of Japanese pirates is to let the ruler of Fusang restrain the defeated Fusang warriors so that they cannot escape from Fusang and come to Daming to plunder and kill people. The second is to prevent traitors from colluding with Japanese pirates to do evil together. In fact Among the Japanese pirates that ravaged the southeast coast, the people in charge are all Han Chinese. These people hide behind the Japanese pirates to make plans and use the Japanese pirates to do things for them. Without these traitors, the Japanese pirates would not be able to achieve anything at all. Over the years, Jinyiwei has sent many spies to hide Among the Japanese pirates, it is necessary to find out who is manipulating the Japanese pirates behind the scenes.

"Although Liu Sheng Zongyan is from Fusang, he is different from the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast. This man is ambitious, and what he wants is not gold, silver and jewelry, but the Ming Dynasty. He tried to recruit the Japanese pirates along the southeast coast several times, but in the end They all broke up on bad terms. The Japanese pirates have not moved north in these years because Liu Sheng Zongyan regards the north of Shandong as a taboo, and absolutely does not allow the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast. Therefore, the two sides restrain each other, saving us a lot of energy If Liusheng Zongyan dies, the Japanese pirates will have no scruples, and they will inevitably go northward. At that time, from the southeast coast to the Liaodong sea area, there will be Japanese pirates making trouble everywhere. It will be more difficult to completely eliminate the Japanese pirates. Therefore You can't kill Yagyu Zongyan, at least not yet."

The two talked and talked, and before they knew it, they had arrived near the magistrate's yamen.From a distance, you can see that the front of the Yamen is brightly lit. Dozens of arresters are standing in front of the gate with torches in their hands, and the guards are very strict.Yang Zhenzhong said: "I don't think we need to go to the yamen, how about going to Nancheng?"

Li Qiufeng nodded, and the two turned southward.Yang Zhenzhong said: "A few months ago, when I was in the imperial mausoleum, I also told Li Baihu that the Ming Dynasty seems to be strong at present, but in fact it is full of dangers, and outstanding people like Li Baihu are about to contribute to the Ming Dynasty. Let me ask one more question today, is Li Baihu willing to return to Jinyiwei and do something spectacular?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said: "My lord's kindness, I appreciate it. It's just that my lord just said that Liang Huan, a stupid and greedy person, can have both sides in the officialdom. Naturally, there is a bigger The official was covering him behind his back. When Li was in the capital, everything he saw and heard was shocking, and he thought that he was not the material for an official. Wouldn't it be nice to be a wild crane in the rivers and lakes? Thank you so much Your Excellency, please forgive me for not being able to follow orders."
