Chapter 619 Secret Order of the Ministry of Punishment, Pei Yan is in Big Trouble
Chapter 619 Secret Order of the Ministry of Punishment, Pei Yan is in Big Trouble
In Xue's Manor, Hangzhou Sima Yuan Yi held a secret order in his hand and stood in front of everyone.
All the people present were staring at the secret order in Yuan Yi's hands. It doesn't matter whether Xue Zhongzhang has anything to do with the King of the East China Sea.
The important thing is that everyone wants to know the content of this secret order from the Ministry of Punishment.
"Read." Lai Jingye glanced at Yuan Yi, and said bluntly, "Read directly!"
"Here!" Yuan Yi read out the secret order of the Ministry of Punishment without any hesitation in front of everyone: "The Lang Zhongling of the Ministry of Punishment ordered Xuanyi Lang Xue Zhongzhang to investigate the officials, aristocratic families, and common people in Hangzhou for the case of the King of the East China Sea's rebellion. All states and counties can do what is convenient for them.”
Yuan Yi read out the secret order of the Ministry of Punishment, and Xue Zhongzhang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This was the only way he could think of to excuse himself in a hurry, otherwise, once the official document was reported, then he, who was suspected of treason, would not only end his official career, but he might also be imprisoned.
Li Xuan was on the other side, looking at Xue Zhongzhang lightly, with a trace of pity in his eyes.
The poor kid doesn't know anything, if he doesn't show this secret order, then in Chang'an, Pei Yan will kill him no matter what, but if he shows this secret order, Pei Yan won't bother him, let alone take care of him. Can't wait to kill him.
Xue Zhongzhang suddenly raised his head at this time, and saw the pity in Li Xuan's eyes at a glance.
As if he could see through Li Xuan's thoughts at a glance, a trace of disdain flashed at the corner of Xue Zhongzhang's mouth, but his eyes turned slightly to the secret order on one side, with a trace of resentment in his eyes.
No one in this world knows better than him what kind of person his uncle Pei Yan is.
If he was really framed this time to be involved with the King of the East China Sea, then not only would his uncle Pei Yan not save him, but he would even take action himself, and please remove him from all official positions.
After he returned to Chang'an, Pei Yan might compensate him, but the so-called compensation was at most a county lieutenant.
He is not as good as his former secretary Lang, nor is he as good as his current Shangzhou Facao joining the army.
And he had to be grateful to Pei Yan.
This is the character of his uncle, indifferent, ruthless, and hypocritical.
At this time, Lai Jingye turned his head to look at Xue Zhongzhang, and said bluntly: "Pei Shangshu's hands are indeed very long, and he sent someone to Hangzhou with a secret order to investigate, but he didn't even know that he would be the governor. It seems that he is Doubt this governor too!"
When Lai Jingye said a word, the faces of everyone present changed at the same time.
You know, in the official documents of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, almost everyone in the governor's mansion in Hangzhou was investigated. To put it bluntly, anyone who lived in the land of Hangzhou was suspected by the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
In an instant, all the people present looked at Xue Zhongzhang angrily.
If this thing is a secret order, then even if one or two people know about it, they can only cooperate obediently, but if this thing is known to everyone, the loyalty of everyone in Hangzhou to Datang will be violated. Doubt, how could these people not be angry in their hearts.
Of course, no matter how angry they were, they would not do anything to Xue Zhongzhang, the most they could do was to indifference him and alienate him.
The Jiangnan Sixteenth Family is a local household in Hangzhou. If they are alienated and indifferent to Xue Zhongzhang, then even if Xue Zhongzhang, the Hangzhou facao, can continue to do it, he will not be able to do anything.
Social death, this is Xue Zhongzhang's fate.
……
Li Xuan looked sideways at the other people present, with cautious eyes, because he knew that the person who was really in trouble was Pei Yan.
Xue Zhongzhang secretly investigated all the officials and aristocratic families in Hangzhou, but he did not report to Lai Jingye. Maybe Lai Jingye would immediately resign from the central center because of suspicion, as well as many officials and aristocratic families in Hangzhou. Plead guilty to the center.
They will not impeach Pei Yan. Pei Yan is the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment. It is his duty to investigate the traitors, so it is useless to sue him.
They have to plead guilty and resign from all their official positions and honors.
Think about it, all the officials in Hangzhou, the aristocratic families, all asked the court for their sins and resigned, how big a sensation it caused.
I'm afraid the whole southeast will shake.
Did the emperor distrust all the aristocratic families and officials in Hangzhou, or did he not trust all the aristocratic families and officials in the southeast?
Pei Yan is in serious trouble.
"Ahem!" At this moment, Li Xuan suddenly coughed twice, attracting everyone's attention, then looked at Xue Zhongzhang again, and said: "The matter of Xue Lang, although there is an official document from the Ministry of Punishment as proof, but you During the relationship with Wen Xu, what exactly was heard and said, needs to be explained in detail one by one.
Especially in this courtyard now, did you take it to get close to him, or did you take it and was approached by him?
Have you revealed to him something he shouldn't know, especially the city defense and personnel in Hangzhou..."
"No." Xue Zhongzhang immediately defended himself, denying: "Wen Xu is the county captain of Xiaoshan, and he is more familiar with Yangzhou affairs than I am. Why should I ask him more? Ask who is suspected in Hangzhou..."
"Okay, don't talk about it." Lai Jingye suddenly interrupted Xue Zhongzhang's defense, looked at him coldly, then looked at everyone, and said: "Tonight's matter is here for the time being. The fire needs to be put out, the corpses on Dongcheng Street need to be cleaned up, and the traitors without life need to be hunted down, so let's go to work. As for Xue Canjun."
Lai Jingye looked at Qianniuwei behind him, and said in a deep voice: "From today on, Xue Canjun will stay in this house, and Qianniuwei will guard it, and the state government will deliver meals every day, and he will not leave without orders."
This is to put him under house arrest.
Although his face was embarrassing, Xue Zhongzhang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said to Lai Jingye, "I will obey the order!"
"Let's go!" Lai Jingye didn't want to stay in this yard for a moment.
Soon, a group of people came to the alley outside, and followed Lai Jingye back to the Governor's Mansion.
In the backyard of the Governor’s Mansion, Lai Jingye looked at the open bank, and said in a cold voice: “Move all the money back to the bank and seal it, Hu Changshi, Yuan Sima, and about joining the army, you can discuss tonight Write a memorial, send it to me tomorrow, and after reading it, I will sign it and send it to Chang'an."
"The next official obeys the order." Lai Jingye said a word, and none of the people present dared to slack off in the slightest.
Everyone could clearly feel the anger in Lai Jingye's heart.
……
Sishi, the sky is bright.
In the back hall of the governor's mansion, Li Xuan handed a memorial to Lai Jingye, and said softly: "This memorial, my nephew will be sent to Chang'an today, and delivered to the crown prince. Hurry up."
"Don't worry, I won't be much slower than my nephew." Lai Jingye gently pushed back Li Xuan's memorial, shook his head and said, "What's yours is yours, and what I'm waiting for is what I'm waiting for. I don't want this matter." Interfere well with each other."
Li Xuan frowned, nodded suddenly and said: "What Uncle Shi said is very true."
"This matter, if Xue Zhongzhang's matter hadn't happened in the end, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so troublesome." Lai Jingye couldn't help but frowned. Why was he willing to push the matter to the present stage, but he couldn't help it. When that idiot Xue Zhongzhang uttered the four words of the secret order of the Ministry of Punishment, everything was already doomed, and there was no room for maneuver.
Li Xuan shook her head slightly, and said softly: "Uncle Shi is too worried. It is actually easy to settle this matter. Find Wen Xu, capture him, and deliver it to Chang'an, and everything will be settled."
Hearing what Li Xuan said, Lai Jingye nodded slightly, and said softly, "Uncle Shi knows what to do?"
Li Xuan smiled lightly, and then said: "The next step is the matter of my nephew. Hangzhou is no longer in danger. Although my nephew has His Majesty's secret decree, it is not appropriate to make it public. The Hangzhou navy temporarily wiped out all the pirates in the coastal waters, and then asked for an order to ask the half of the navy how to deal with it."
Lai Jingye nodded. The reason why the secret decree is secret is because he cannot easily disclose it to the outside world.
Just like Xue Zhongzhang's secret order of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, although he suspects that there are people from the King of the East China Sea among the officials and aristocratic families in Hangzhou, he can do a secret investigation, and even Hangzhou and other aristocratic families can help, but when he makes this secret order public When they came out, they had already cornered everyone, and they had no way out, so they could only grit their teeth and fight Pei Yan to death.
"Unfortunately, Wen Xu has never been found." Lai Jingye couldn't help but frowned.
Li Xuan was very calm, and said: "The brigade of Wusheng black soldiers has been almost wiped out. Although some people have escaped into the mountains, they have been nailed to their tails. Without these Wusheng black soldiers, Hangyue and Wuhutai jointly wanted to arrest them." , he cannot escape."
"What your nephew said is true." Lai Jingye nodded slightly, then looked at the sun outside, stood up and said, "Let's go, everyone is still waiting."
"Follow the order!"
……
In the lobby of the governor's mansion, Lai Jingyegao sat on the governor's seat, and Li Xuan stood silently by the side.
"Chang Shi, what's the situation in Hangzhou now?" Lai Jingye turned to look at Hu Yu.
Hu Yu immediately cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the envoy, Nancheng, Xicheng, and Dongcheng have all been dealt with properly. Last night, more than [-] pirates from Zhoushan were killed, and more than [-] people abandoned their weapons; More than a hundred people, more than [-] people abandoned their weapons, and nearly a hundred people fled into Tianmu Mountain. Yan Tao, the school captain of Kuaiji Prefecture, is leading troops to chase and kill them. The nearby villagers actively provided information and even helped them hunt and kill them."
Lai Jingye nodded, he knew that it was the aristocratic families in Hangzhou who were doing it.
"The common people hate the Wusheng sect bandit so much. Those who should be rewarded should be rewarded according to what I said before." Lai Jingye looked at Sima Yuan Yi, who was on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Sima, let Yuhang County send experienced hunters immediately." Go into the mountains to cooperate with strangling the rebels, inform the villages in the mountains in advance, let them dig out the inner and outer mountain roads, and prevent the rebels from breaking into the mountains and start killing."
"Making the king love the people." Yuan Yi respectfully bowed his hands to Lai with emotion.
"There is also the matter of Xiaoshan Wenxu." Lai Jingye said coldly: "Guan Canjun, after you leave the hall, you and Xiaoshan will thoroughly check all the people and things related to Wenxu. I don't believe it, he has been in Xiaoshan for many years without leaving any trace."
"The next officer obeys the order." Guan Mi stepped back immediately.
"There is also the matter of the Hangzhou navy." Lai Jingye looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "This time the Zhoushan pirates attacked Yuhang. Fortunately, Hangzhou returned aid and returned in time. I plan to..."
A "dong" gong sounded outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion, and immediately, Catcher Xu ran in frantically: "Your Majesty, the imperial decree has arrived!"
