Jinyi champion

Chapter 847 Sit down and talk for the last time
Yongping Mansion, the magistrate's yamen.

Zhu Hao and Yang Shen met in the inner hall, and Yang Shen felt relieved when he saw that Zhu Hao was safe and sound.

"...How did Brother Yongxiu know that Li Tong was missing? Even if he lost contact temporarily, he might have hid himself for self-protection, or he was running around looking for the whereabouts of that batch of pig iron, right?" Zhu said. Haodao.

"I've thought about it, if Jin Yiwei wants to make a fuss about this matter, implicating Uncle Huairou or even a senior official in the court, he must start with you and Li Tong, and you are a civil servant, with Sun Butang's backing, Jin Yiwei temporarily I don’t dare to do anything to you, but what background does Li Tong have? At best, he’s just a martial artist, and he’s the one who does the actual work, so who would Jin Yiwei turn to if he didn’t take him into action?”

Yang Shen realized later, after being led by the nose for a long time, he realized that he was being tricked.

It's just that he didn't know that the person playing him was sitting opposite.

Zhu Hao was silent for a while, then asked: "Then how far will this matter be involved?"

Yang Shen was originally absent-minded and thinking about something, but when he heard Zhu Hao's words, he immediately looked over with deep meaning, as if to say, don't you know how involved it is?
Of course, my father was involved, and the emperor would use this to damage my father's reputation in the court.

But he felt that Zhu Hao's meaning could not be so simple.

"Jingdao, if you have any thoughts, just speak up." Yang Shen said.

Zhu Hao didn't save face for Yang Shen this time, and shook his head with a smile: "You don't need Mr. Yang Ge to protect me. It's better that Mr. Yang Ge doesn't ask me anything about me, otherwise Jin Yiwei may really kill me!"

As he said that, Zhu Hao handed over the performance he had written to Yang Shen for review.

Yang Shen showed a stubborn look, persuading him, "Jingdao, doing so may ruin your future."

Zhu Hao said: "Hehe, I'm just an ordinary local magistrate, and I'm not qualified to intervene in major affairs of the court. In fact, what I want to say is, can I put pressure on Jinyiwei as a middle-ranking official?"

After hearing these words, Zhu Hao couldn't help but feel a little more contempt for Yang Shen.

Yang Shen didn't know how to evaluate Zhu Hao's words.

Yang Shen didn't like it when he heard that, maybe Zhu Hao was really ready to break the boat, that's why he told him so bluntly that he didn't want to join them, and he didn't want to be involved in the dispute between the monarch and his ministers.

These people were indeed Jin Yiwei. In fact, they were watching Yang Shen's actions and proceeding with the next plan. After Yang Shen left, Luo An, the governor of Jin Yiwei North Town Fusi, entered in person, nominally to arrest the criminal Zhu Hao.

"My respect, you..."

"Ah."

Zhu Hao sighed softly: "Do you think I can protect myself if I don't go to this memorial? Jin Yiwei's ultimate goal is not me? Looking at it now, although Sun Butang is behind me, in fact what I did This matter has become a thorn in the side of Jin Yiwei, at worst, I will not be an official, and I can go back to my hometown to do business, can I still live my life?"

"you……"

He felt that the mine is now managed by the magistrate's yamen, maybe Jin Yiwei came here on purpose to find fault?

Zhu Hao continued: "With Jin Yiwei's strength, how dare they compete with Elder Yang Ge? Perhaps it is time to put pressure on Jin Yiwei, one is to find out whether they really took down Li Tong, and the other is to test what they want Where does this case get involved?"

Yang Shen nodded: "I'm afraid that even if they can see Jin Yiwei, they will deliberately pretend to be confused just like Tang Yin."

The "unconventional means" mentioned by Mr. Yang, wouldn't it mean to silence Li Tong?If Li Tong died, the matter of Bo Huairou ordering him would not be exposed, and Yang Tinghe would not be involved in the matter.

"As soon as he got to the local government, he organized mining. He must be a corrupt official who committed crimes. Good job!"

Jiang Shantong originally took people back to the government office, but when he saw this scene, he ducked his head and hid in the crowd, and asked his subordinates to quickly find a piece of clothing and put it on his body to cover up the official uniform on his body.

Zhu Hao seemed to agree with this statement, and said with a frown, "Then instead of going to Jin Yiwei, let's find another person to come forward and put pressure on Jin Yiwei. What do you think is the possibility of success?"

The majesty of the dignified mansion was taken down by someone, and it was quite a big deal. The common people like to watch this kind of "dog bite dog" show of people in the public family.

It's this kind of empty promises like vernacular, which makes people feel warm in the heart, but in fact there is no such thing as fart.

After Yang Shen read it, he was naturally very satisfied with the content, but he hesitated a bit and said, "It's better to wait for this matter, let me tell my father, and then make a decision."

When Jin Yiwei escorted several people from the prefect's yamen, there were already people watching in front of the prefect's yamen.

"what happened?"

After hearing Zhu Hao's words, Yang Shen heaved a long sigh of relief, but felt a huge sense of guilt towards Zhu Hao in his heart.

Yang Shen's eyeballs rolled around, seeming to realize something, and asked: "You mean to ask the queen mother to put pressure on Jin Yiwei? To be honest, in the past two years, the queen mother has seldom asked about court affairs, let alone my father Who will mediate, we cannot interfere.

"This……"

Yang Shen thought about it, and Zhu Hao's words were very reasonable.

The crowd applauded Jin Yiwei's arrest in a row.

Yang Shen couldn't figure out who the "other person" Zhu Hao was talking about was.

"Who are you? Why did you break into the public house?"

More and more people.

Mou Dazhi, the governor of the government office, was loyal to protect the lord at this time, and rushed out to shout loudly.

Yang Shen could only nod reluctantly, but didn't know what to say.

……

Before Mou Dazhi could speak out to protest, his whole body was pressed to the ground with his hands cut behind his face.

Seeing these people, Yang Shen became more and more certain that Li Tong was in Jin Yiwei's hands, and it was very likely that Li Tong had confessed to something, at least it involved Zhu Hao now.

The matter stemmed from the dispute between the emperor and Yang Tinghe, if I fell, it would be fine if Yang Tinghe didn't intercede with me, but if he did intercede, he would push me into the fire pit, so you should spare me, don't worry about it I came forward, I still want to live two more days.

Zhu Hao said: "Before you came, I had already prepared such a memorial, please take a look."

Zhu Hao said: "Look at this... Jin Yiwei obviously didn't intend to take the initiative to break the matter. After all, from the outside, they are still looking for the batch of pig iron that I detained. Why don't I take the initiative to submit a memorial and mention it?" After I took over the mine, a batch of pig iron was temporarily sealed up in the back mountain by me before it could be transferred, but it was...stolen. I asked the imperial court to punish me and ask the imperial court to send someone to investigate the whereabouts of this batch of pig iron. What do you think? ?”

Yang Shen felt that maybe Zhu Hao's premonition was right, if Zhu Hao's top note he was holding in his hand didn't play at this moment, then after tonight, there might be no chance again.

"You mean..."

"I heard that the new prefect committed a crime and was questioned by the court."

Yang Shen said: "You can relax, even if you are really involved in this matter, my father can protect you."

Mou Dazhi didn't expect that these people said they were looking for Zhu Hao, but they even caught him, the magistrate.

The struggle on the field of power is indeed intriguing, and even a well-educated scholar from the Ming Dynasty who was born in the Imperial Academy would mention the use of unconventional means. Wouldn't it be more murderous if someone with ulterior motives ascended to a high position?

If you want Zhu Hao to be blamed, you must do it as early as possible, otherwise Jin Yiwei may take Zhu Hao down at any time, or the emperor in the court will make a fuss about this matter, and everything will be irreparable.

Zhongguan is the eunuch.

……

"Jin Yiwei? Jin Yiwei is afraid? Yongping Mansion lacks everything, but there is no shortage of Jin Yiwei. Didn't you see it when the mine was opened?"

But in fact... this is also a kind of cowardice, Yang Shen tried his best to find excuses for himself, to make his heart feel better and avoid the condemnation of his conscience.

Then a group of Jin Yiwei rushed into the back of the magistrate's yamen and "arrested and brought to justice" Zhu Hao.

……

Mou Dazhi was quite stubborn.

Yang Shen pondered for a while, and suddenly found that Zhu Hao's analysis was reasonable.

"it is good!"

The yamen who came in with Jin Yiwei hurried over to report: "Master Mou, they are Jin Yiwei, and they said they came to ask the magistrate for questioning, we can't afford to provoke them."

But Yang Shen can understand this kind of negative mentality, and even sympathizes with each other, because he, Yang Shen, also got the first prize in the examination, because of the darkness of the court, and because he was the son of the chief assistant, he was criticized by others, so he stayed away from the capital for many years.

"At the moment, we can only use our own strength to make up for our mistakes as much as possible. It would be great to find the whereabouts of this batch of iron. If it is really impossible, we should also find Li Tong, or use some unconventional means..."

When Yang Shen left, he saw some unknown people waiting outside the magistrate's office.

……

Zhu Hao sighed: "Brother Yongxiu, can you see if this is the case... If everything is secretly arranged by Jin Yiwei, they can't expect that Mr. Yang Ge will be involved in it. Perhaps their purpose is to target me and try to control the mine. Take the right back, how would they know that I will tell you this matter, and you will tell Elder Yang Ge, and then Elder Yang Ge will find Uncle Huai Rou, and ask him to send a message for Li Tong to assist in the transfer?"

This prefect Zhu is backed by the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, afraid of a ball?
Luo An said: "I am the governor of Jinyiwei North Town Fusi Town, you are the local pusher? Come, take it down!"

Because one of his purposes for coming to Zhu Hao was to let Zhu Hao take the initiative to take the blame, but he was too embarrassed to explain clearly, how much trouble would it save him if Zhu Hao brought it up now?

Zhu Hao smiled wryly and said: "Before Jin Yiwei detained me, this report might be effective. If the commander of Yongpingwei really corrected me and involved me, then it would be futile to say anything. Brother, this is probably the last time you and I sit down to talk about things, and the next time we meet, maybe when."

Yang Shen stepped up, not because he was afraid of things, but he felt that he should "keep the green hills alive and not be afraid of no firewood". Others could get involved, but Yang Shen had to stay out of it. It's like watching the fire from the other side.

Jiang Shan was listening, cursing: "You guys know what a fool!"

"My lord, what shall we do?" the servant asked.

"Hurry up and find a place to settle down. This prefect's yamen can't go back. It's really hard to be an official now. Even the chief assistant can't hold back the right man! Maybe we voted for the wrong camp...not you , it’s Lao Tzu!”

Jiang Shantong now regrets working for Yang Tinghe.
