Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 774 I know what you mean

Su Moliang looked anxiously at Jin Hedong, who was in a hurry, and really couldn't figure out what Jin Hedong was talking about.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?" Su Moliang asked hastily.

Jin Hedong looked at Su Moliang and said, "It's nothing, I suddenly remembered something related to your son-in-law, but I'm not sure."

Jin Hedong sat down again with a serious expression on his face.

"My lord, what is it?" Su Moliang asked.

Jin Hedong said: "Do you know those things about Hong Wunian?"

Jin Hedong's voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it.

Su Moliang's body trembled like an electric shock, and began to tremble.

Su Moliang is definitely not an ordinary person to be the servant of the Ministry of Punishment.

There were many things during the Hongwu period, but the most influential one was the killing of heroes by Emperor Hongwu.

"Gollum!"

Su Moliang swallowed, and looked at Jin Hedong in disbelief.

"My lord, what do you mean about Emperor Hongwu's killing of heroes? This is impossible, right? His Majesty has no reason to do so now. It is only a few years since the founding of the country, and it is impossible for His Majesty to kill heroes at this time.

Moreover, now that His Majesty is ready to award hundreds of officials, it is impossible for His Majesty to award hundreds of officials in the first step, and to clean up the officials in the back. "Su Moliang said in disbelief.

Jin Hedong said with a sad face: "I think the same way, but don't forget, His Majesty has taken the world into his hands like a ruin.

Since the beginning of the incident, His Majesty's every path has been unexpected.His Majesty's mind, how can we people guess it?
However, I think it is impossible for His Majesty to do such a thing at this time.However, if you don't do it now, it doesn't mean you won't do it in the future.

This time, the Chief of the Palace arrested people without warning, and it is very likely that His Majesty was preparing for the next thing.

During the Hongwu period, Jinyiwei was originally just a guard of honor for Emperor Hongwu, but what happened later? "

"Then what should we do now? Does Your Majesty really have such an idea?" Su Moliang asked anxiously.

Su Moliang was not as deep as Jin Hedong thought, and he didn't think about this aspect at all.

This Jin Hedong's brain hole is really big, Zhao Wen has no idea in this regard at all.

Zhao Wen asked the Dianqian to arrest this Lu Zhengyi because this Lu Zhengyi used to be Zhao Wen's soldier.

Another one is that because Lu Zhengyi is Su Moliang's son-in-law, Zhao Wen is afraid of favoritism and fraud.

If this Lu Zhengyi had never been a soldier before, nor was he Su Moliang's son-in-law, Zhao Wen would never have dispatched the Palace Secretary, and would have handed it over to the Ministry of Punishment for strict scrutiny.

Zhao Wen also didn't expect that Jin Hedong would think so much about his operation.

"Who knows if His Majesty has such an idea, not now, doesn't mean not in the future.

Now, it is time to award civil and military officials.His Majesty sent out the front office at this time, and it was probably just beating and beating. "Jin Hedong said with a sullen face: "Well, you go back first, I'll go out, go to Master Liu, and see what Master Liu has to say. "

The Lord Liu that Jin Hedong was talking about was exactly Liu Wenzhong.

Jin Hedong had worked under Liu Wenzhong before, and belonged to Liu Wenzhong's old subordinates.

After Jin Hedong said that, he asked the servants in the mansion to drive the carriage out.

Not long after, Jin Hedong arrived outside Liu Wenzhong's mansion in a carriage.

Now Liu Wenzhong has not slept yet, and is sitting in the study dealing with the unfinished business brought back from the Council.

Jin Hedong stood in front of Liu Wenzhong's house and knocked on the door of Liu Wenzhong's house.

A doorman opened the door, leaned out half of his body, and asked with a puzzled face, "Who are you?"

"I am Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I have something important to talk to Mr. Liu. Please inform him immediately!" Jin Hedong said hurriedly to the doorman.

Jin Hedong is Liu Wenzhong's old subordinate, in order to avoid suspicion, under normal circumstances, Jin Hedong would not come to Liu Wenzhong's place.

However, in Jin Hedong's view, what happened today was not a trivial matter, so he didn't care about so much.

"Okay, I'll report it now!" The doorman turned around hastily and ran towards the inside.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a knock on the door outside Liu Wenzhong's study.

Liu Wenzhong put down the pen in his hand, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.

"Come in!" Liu Wenzhong put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the door.

The door boy opened the door and said to Liu Wenzhong: "Master, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment has come and said he has something important to do."

Liu Wenzhong looked curious, and murmured: "Jin Hedong seldom looks for me except for business, why did he come to me in the middle of the night this time?"

Although Liu Wenzhong was curious, he did not refuse.

"Take him to the front hall first, I'll come later!" Liu Wenzhong said to the doorman.

The doorman hurriedly ran outside again.

Not long after, the doorman came outside the gate.

The doorman looked at Jin Hedong who was standing outside the gate with an anxious expression on his face, and said, "My master asked you to wait for him in the front hall, follow me!"

After speaking, the doorman led Jin Hedong in and sat in the front hall.

The doorman brought a cup of tea to Jin Hedong and put it on the table next to Jin Hedong.

However, now Jin Hedong has no intention of drinking tea at all.

Jin Hedong looked at the road outside the front hall, feeling extremely anxious.

Just when Jin Hedong was about to be unable to sit still, Liu Wenzhong appeared outside the front hall.

"Although you are my old subordinate, you seldom come to my place except on official business.

Come to me in the middle of the night, what's the rush? "Liu Wenzhong walked up to Jin Hedong and asked calmly.

Jin Hedong looked at Liu Wenzhong who was approaching, and hurriedly stood up.

"I've seen you!" Jin Hedong saluted Liu Wenzhong.

Liu Wenzhong waved his hand and sat on the main seat, "Okay, you and I are not outsiders, so let's just salute!"

"Sit, why are you still standing?" Liu Wenzhong looked at Jin Hedong standing in front of him and said.

Jin Hedong said: "My lord, I can't sit down. Today, I have a very important thing to tell my lord.

The thing is like this, Su Moliang, the servant of the criminal department, has a son-in-law named Lu Zhengyi, and this Lu Zhengyi is the inspector of Erdaoxiang Inspection Station.

A few days ago..."

Jin Hedong told Liu Wenzhong what happened today.

Liu Wenzhong began to think while listening to Jin Hedong's voice.

"You mean, that Lu Zhengyi was taken away by the people in front of the palace? And he was taken away without warning?" After Jin Hedong finished speaking, Liu Wenzhong's master Jin Hedong asked.

Jin Hedong nodded heavily, "My lord, that's how it is. The people in front of the palace took this Lu Zhengyi away without warning.

Although this Lu Zhengyi is just a sesame mung bean official, but there are no officials in my dynasty, so Lu Zhengyi is also an official, no matter what.

According to common sense, even if Lu Zhengyi committed a crime, he should be detained by our Criminal Department and then tried by the court.No matter how many rounds it takes, it won't be the turn of the Dianqian, let alone Lu Zhengyi hasn't committed any crime yet.

My lord, do you think His Majesty wants to beat us officials..."

Jin Hedong spoke out what was in his heart.

"Hahahaha!"

However, in return, Liu Wenzhong laughed loudly.

Jin Hedong froze in place, he really couldn't figure out why Liu Wenzhong laughed, especially after he said his thoughts.

"You, you, I said a long time ago that you want to change your suspicious character, but you just don't listen, you just don't listen, I don't know what to say to you." Liu Wenzhong pointed Jin Hedong scolded with a smile, not paying attention to what Jin Hedong said.

"My lord, what do you mean by that?" Jin Hedong didn't understand.

"When His Majesty was just promoted to the defense of Longmen Castle, I followed His Majesty.

Regarding His Majesty's character, I dare not say I have an absolute understanding, but I do know one, two, three, four.

Your Majesty is not the kind of person you said, and the things you worry about are simply impossible to happen.

As for beating and beating officials, this is even more nonsense.

I don't tell you about His Majesty's origins, but you understand, Your Majesty is so proud, how could he do such a thing?To put it bluntly, His Majesty doesn't bother to do such things at all, and your worries are completely unnecessary. " Liu Wenzhong said seriously.

"But!" Jin Hedong said hesitantly, "If that's the case, then why did His Majesty let the chief inspector in front of the hall? Especially at this time!"

"Leaving this aside, let me ask you, has Your Majesty ever detained and interrogated officials at will over the years? Has Your Majesty ever killed officials wantonly because of his own preferences like the previous dynasty?
None of these things?Your Majesty has never used improper means to deal with officials, has he?Moreover, His Majesty's mind is beyond your imagination.

His Majesty disdains to use this method to frighten the officials, because it is not necessary, not a single bit of it is necessary.Besides, His Majesty's background alone is enough, why is this kind of method needed?
As for your doubts, I can only say this, it must be Lu Zhengyi who committed the crime, and His Majesty knew about it.

I heard from you just now that this Lu Zhengyi was a soldier and a veteran.In addition, his father-in-law is the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, so it is normal for His Majesty to let the secretary in front of the hall.

It is estimated that His Majesty will issue an edict to explain this matter in a few days, so you just wait slowly. "Liu Wenzhong was not worried at all, and explained the inside things to Jin Hedong in detail.

"But, but..." Jin Hedong hesitated for a long time, but nothing happened.

"Okay, there's nothing to worry about, you can go back first." Liu Wenzhong waved at Jin Hedong, and then walked out of the front hall.

Looking at the back of Liu Wenzhong leaving, Jin Hedong sighed and had no choice but to walk out of the front hall.

……

Early the next morning, Liu Wenzhong came to the imperial study with a memorial.

"Your Majesty, this is the arrangement for the award ceremony, please take a look at it!" Liu Wenzhong handed the memorial in his hand to Chen Donglai who came down, and said to Zhao Wen at the same time.

Chen Donglai put Liu Wenzhong's memorial on the desk in front of Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen picked up Liu Wenzhong's memorial and looked at it, "Yes, the ceremony formulated by Aiqing is fine, just do as Aiqing said!"

"Since that's the case, then I can rest assured!" Liu Wenzhong let out a long breath, and stood there quietly, with no intention of leaving.

In the past, after Liu Wenzhong finished talking about his affairs, he would basically leave, but today he stopped here.

Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wenzhong who hadn't left yet, and knew without thinking that something was wrong with Liu Wenzhong.

"Aiqing, what's the matter?" Zhao Wen asked.

Liu Wenzhong said: "Your Majesty, there is one matter, but I don't know how to speak about it!"

"Is there anything you don't know to speak up!" Zhao Wen didn't care.

"Your Majesty, the matter is like this. I heard people say this morning that Your Majesty asked the Palace Secretary to arrest an official.

Therefore, the minister wanted to ask, what did this official do that alarmed His Majesty and asked him to take charge in front of the palace. "Liu Wenzhong asked cautiously.

In Daming, this kind of thing is equivalent to an official going to the emperor and asking the emperor, did you let Jin Yiwei arrest someone?Why do you let Jin Yiwei arrest people and things like that?

Zhao Wen pressed the tip of the brush in his hand to his chin, and looked at Liu Wenzhong in front of him with great interest.

Zhao Wen knew the reason why Liu Wenzhong asked this matter without even thinking about it.

When Zhao Wen established the Dianqian Division, he abolished the right to detain and arrest officials for interrogation, leaving only the right to supervise.

It is precisely for this reason that officials in the court do not have much aversion to this Dianqian Secretary.

Since the establishment of the Dianqian Division, Zhao Wen has never let the Dianqian Division deal with officials. Now an official has been arrested suddenly, and the officials in the court are sensitive to the south.

After all, the power of Jinyiwei and Dongchang in the previous dynasty made these officials still have lingering fears.

"The Dianqian Secretary does not have the right to arrest people. To be honest, if it is an ordinary matter, I will not let the Dianqian Secretary take the person at all. As for why I let the Dianqian Secretary take the person, Aiqing, let's take a look at this!"

Zhao Wen took out a booklet from the table, handed it to Chen Donglai, and asked Chen Donglai to hand it to Liu Wenzhong.

Liu Wenzhong took the brochure and flipped through it.

This booklet records the details of Lu Zhengyi's case.

After reading it, Liu Wenzhong breathed a sigh of relief, and handed the booklet to Chen Donglai.

"Now you know why I let the people in front of the palace arrest me? Do you think it's appropriate for me to hand over this kind of matter to the Ministry of Criminal Justice? This Lu Zhengyi is so daring, he raped a woman from a good family and pretended to be fine. Poor that Liu Jinping hanged himself because he was afraid of Lu Zhengyi's identity. In the end, he didn't even dare to reveal Lu Zhengyi's identity.

Lu Zhengyi is the son-in-law of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, if this matter is handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, does Ai Qing think it is appropriate?What's more, this person used to be a soldier.

As a party inspector, he didn't want to solve the worries and problems of the people, but he even knew the law and broke the law.If I don't treat this kind of person as a typical example, I will really feel sorry for the people of the world.

Aiqing, go back, in a few days, I will make this matter known to the world, and then I will transfer the matter to the court for handling. "
