Jinyi champion

Chapter 692
The story of Zhu Hao's disrespect in front of the foreign envoys was still being circulated everywhere in the capital.

As a result, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, on the night of August [-]th, a "bloody case" occurred in the Huitong Hall. Someone assassinated the North Korean envoy in the Huitong Hall. Shen Jizong almost escaped from death. With the help of the government officials, the assassin was killed.

After Yang Shen heard about this, he hurried to check the situation.

This time Yang Shen didn't see Shen Jizong, but only saw Yin Xiruan, the deputy envoy.

Yin Xi still had a look of fear at this time. There were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, including members of the North Korean mission and assassins.

The assassin came in a menacing manner. I don't know where it came from. I only know that every time I make a move, I greet the vital parts. The North Korean envoy thought it was someone from Ming Dynasty who came to assassinate, but later, thanks to the help of the people in the same hall, they helped them take the assassin away. kill back.

"what happened?"

Yang Shen looked at the scattered corpses on the ground, the blood flowing everywhere, sniffed the strong stench in the air, his stomach was overwhelmed, his throat was itchy and he wanted to vomit, but he held back in the end.

This question was originally asked to Yin Xi still, but Yin Xi still didn't know how to answer, so he just shook his head and smiled wryly.

A deputy commander of the Nancheng Bingma Division came over and saluted with fists in his hands: "My lord, about seven or eight assassins came to attack. Fortunately, someone gave an early warning and sent extra people in the hall, so that no big incident happened. It’s a disaster. But North Korea’s envoy seems to be...injured seriously, and a doctor has been found to come to see him.”

Yang Shen had the urge to hit someone.

Why did Duanduan suddenly have an assassin coming?

Still in the case of being a welcoming envoy appointed by the imperial court!

It is impossible for this incident to have no effect on him. If the new emperor deliberately made things difficult, he would definitely blame him for his ineffective protection of foreign envoys.

"Where's Zhu Hanlin?"

Yang Shen turned around and asked the followers behind him.

After hearing the news, when he left the Hanlin Academy, he sent someone to notify Zhu Hao and ask Zhu Hao to come and have a look.

It wasn't that he wanted to ask Zhu Hao how he guessed that these people were in trouble in the capital, but he just wanted Zhu Hao to come over and show his face so that he, the envoy, could push the blame.

But when he arrived at the place, he figured it out. Zhu Hao had given an early warning about this matter, so the responsibility would never fall on him.

The entourage said: "Zhu Hanlin hasn't arrived yet, it's probably... soon."

Yang Shen hurriedly called the people from the same hall over and severely reprimanded them.

As for Yin Xi still waiting for the North Korean envoy, Yang Shen didn't bother to pay attention.

……

……

After about half an hour, when Yang Shen couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to send someone to urge him again, Zhu Hao came late.

"My lord, Master Zhu is here."

The former deputy commander of the Nancheng Army and Horse Division is back again. This person's name is He Li. He is a seventh-rank deputy commander of the Nancheng Army and Horse Division in a land full of dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital. To address you as an adult, after seeing Yang Shen, it was also because of business that I didn't kneel down and kowtow.

Even so, speaking is respectful.

Yang Shen said: "Please come in."

As he said that, he got up and greeted him at the entrance of the flower hall.

Seeing Zhu Hao in ordinary clothes, Yang Shen called Zhu Hao into the room, and after retreating from the crowd, asked softly, "Do you know what's going on?"

"Ah."

Zhu Hao nodded.

Yang Shen sighed: "The assassins are really bold and reckless. Although it is not clear who appointed them, it is basically certain that it is an internal dispute in the country and has nothing to do with my Ming Dynasty. I helped them to kill the assassins, but I gave them a helping hand." .”

Zhu Hao asked: "Is it just killing and retreating? Doesn't that mean..."

"I know."

Yang Shen felt a little helpless, "A governor came from Shuntian Mansion, I told him that the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion will send more people to checkpoints in the city to check for clues. Someone is injured, hiding in the city should not be hard to find."

Zhu Hao said: "If a foreign country is involved, if the Shuntian Mansion handles the case... I'm afraid it's inappropriate? Should we ask the higher authorities for instructions on this matter?"

"above?"

Yang Shen was puzzled.

Just as he was talking, there was a commotion outside.

He Li stood at the door: "My lords, Jin Yiwei's mission came here, saying that he wanted to investigate this case."

Yang Shen looked annoyed, originally it was enough to let the people from Shuntian Mansion and Nancheng Bingma Division help to investigate, but now that Jin Yiwei is involved, the matter may not end well.

As the chief official sent by Daming to welcome the envoys, Yang Shen did not want the situation to expand.

But he still took Zhu Hao out of the flower hall to meet Jin Yiwei.

……

……

There were five Jinyiwei who came, and the leader was a chief banner officer named Wang Bangqi.

This person is well-known in the history of Ming Dynasty. During the Zhengde period, Wang Bangqi tortured civil officials in order to cater to his superiors Qian Ning and Jiang Bin. Later, he was dismissed from office because of his vicious methods and offending too many people.

After Jiajing ascended the throne, Wang Bangqi asked for reinstatement many times, but he did not know when he was reinstated.

In the matter, An Pan once participated in the impeachment of Wang Bangqi:
"...Bang Qi and others were in the Zhengde era, greedy for gluttony and fighting for food, like tigers and wolves. When they catch traitors and robbers, they may lead more than ten people with one person, or connect dozens of families with one family. It is called 'copper casting'. It is also called "monster talk" to hunt down demon talk, or to search for weird books from foolish people with fan service, or to buy traitor monks to lure foolish people Maitreya's teachings, and then cover them up. There is no escape. '..."

These cruel officials, after Yang Tinghe became an official, finally brought their talents to the extreme. People from Yang Tinghe's faction were attacked by him one after another, many people were arrested and sent to prison, and many officials were even tortured to death by him.

In history, Wang Bangqi was the vanguard who tortured Yang Tinghe and his henchmen in Jiajing, and used it to frighten all officials. The reason why he didn't use people from Xingwang's mansion, but specifically looked for Wang Bangqi, was actually to avoid suspicion and leave those actions that can bring good reputation to The old department of Xingwangfu.

After all, Zhu Hao didn't take charge of Jinyiwei. Zhu Hao didn't express any opinion on Wang Bangqi's coming out of the mountain, but he never thought that he would meet here.

At this time, Wang Bangqi was just a seventh-rank Jinyiwei chief banner officer, but when he saw Yang Shen and Zhu Hao, his arrogance was beyond words, as if he was the boss, and he could dispose of these two Hanlin at will.

"...Why are two Hanlin officials in charge of the affairs here? Didn't they say that there are assassins? Where are the assassins?"

Wang Bangqi didn't greet Yang Shen and Zhu Hao at all, and attacked He Li when he came up.

He Li pointed to the corpse lying on the ground not far away, covered with a straw mat, and said, "The assassins are all among them."

Wang Bangqi said angrily, "I'm asking you to live!"

"No...not caught alive."

He Li muttered.

Wang Bangqi pulled out the saber from his waist with a "swish" and sternly said, "How did you do it? Serving as an official for the court, but so slack? Didn't even survive? Say, you sent the assassin?"

"No...it's not..."

Although He Li had expected that Jinyiwei's people would not speak well, he did not expect to be so arrogant.

Yang Shen walked over, glared at Wang Bangqi and said, "What are you doing? This is the Huitong Hall, not a place for military officers to run wild!"

"You!"

Wang Bangqi glared at Yang Shen, and almost wanted to slash Yang Shen with a knife, but seeing the blue official robe on Yang Shen, he didn't dare to threaten him again.

As if he had found a savior, He Li hurriedly introduced: "This is Yang Hanlin, the chief assistant, Mr. Yang Zhongtang. He is the chief official who was ordered to entertain the North Korean envoys."

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Nancheng soldiers and horses did not have the responsibility of guarding the same building. Hearing that there was an attack here, what's wrong with coming here to ask questions? For the current plan, the escaped assassins should be caught as soon as possible. Others Let’s talk about it later.”

"who are you?"

Wang Bangqi glared at Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao thought to himself, I really don't know how to live or die, and you can find out who I am?I am a person who can make you irreversible in an instant, without saving you any face.

He Li hastily introduced: "This is Zhu Hanlin, traveling with Yang Hanlin."

Wang Bangqi sneered endlessly: "Two powerless civil servants, dare to interfere in the capital's anti-thief incident? Why don't you go home and read your sage books? It's not suitable for you to fight and kill!"

His words were full of ridicule and sarcasm, but he didn't dare to speak too much.

But for Yang Shen, this was more serious than slapping him in the face.

"When can Jin Yiwei interfere in foreign affairs? Do you have the order from above? Take out your Shangguan's letter, and I want to see who ordered you to come here to find trouble."

Yang Shen is not used to Wang Bangqi's problems.

You are not even an official of a hundred households, even Jinyiwei Qianhu has to be polite and salute when he sees me, who gave you the courage to speak to me like that?
Although Wang Bangqi was arrogant, he seemed to be able to see that this old man of Yang Ge was not easy to mess with. He was not in a hurry, and walked aside with a cold snort.

Yang Shen was about to chase after him to scold him, but Zhu Hao stopped him with his hand.

Zhu Hao winked at Yang Shen, meaning, he would rather offend a gentleman than a villain, why do you fight against such a person?You don't feel honored if you win, and you feel useless if you lose.

Zhu Hao said: "Deputy Commander He, I think this is the case. The investigation should still be carried out. As for the North Korean envoys, don't bother them for now. After the assassin and his accomplices are captured later, the results of the interrogation will be revealed before explaining the case to them. Do not disclose this matter to the outside world. If anyone asks about it, they will say that it is an internal brawl among the North Korean envoys, and the situation must not expand."

"Yes."

He Li hastily saluted.

Zhu Hao said to Yang Shen: "This is not a place to talk. It is estimated that the court may discuss this matter tomorrow. It has little to do with us. Jin Yiwei wants to investigate, why should we stop it? Let's go!"

Yang Shen's eyeballs rolled around, and he also figured out the way.

Jin Yiwei wanted to make a move, and even sent such an ignorant Wang Bangqi, the matter became very delicate.

Knowing that someone would use this incident to make a fuss, he was just an official who was temporarily arranged to meet the North Korean envoy, so there was no need to worry about such things.

……

……

As Zhu Hao expected.

When the DPRK meeting was about to start the next day, the news that the North Korean envoy was stabbed by multiple assassins in the meeting hall had already spread, and the ministers talked a lot.

What is even more incredible is that Zhu Hao, an inconspicuous person in the Imperial Academy who accompanied Yang Shen to meet the envoy, actually warned the North Korean envoy to leave early! ?

It seems that this guy predicts things like a god!
