Wentang

Chapter 547
"No, Guo Lin's mouth is very hard, and he refuses to say anything." Xu Shanying said ashamedly.

"You are not specialized interrogators, so it's normal that you can't find out. I will find a specialized person to interrogate, hoping to get some useful information." Yue Shan comforted him and said.

"This matter has been determined to be a conspiracy by the family, how will Dalang plan to take revenge?" Xu Shanying asked again.

"There's nothing to take revenge on. This is your mortal enemy. It's normal to use various methods to defeat the opponent. This time, we missed a move and they seized the opportunity to make a move." Yue Shan shook his head with a smile and said:
"Don't be blinded by the gains and losses in front of you. The momentary victory or defeat means nothing. The winner is the one who has the last laugh."

"I see." Xu Shanying said in admiration.

"I'm more worried about who told Guo Lin about Guo Wenchang than the aristocratic family." Yue Shan said worriedly.

"There are not many people who know about this matter, but there are also quite a few. Those who investigated the case at that time should have known it, and many officials in Dizhou also knew it. Anyone may leak it." Xu Shanying analyzed.

"It's no longer a secret if a secret is known by the second person. It is true that anyone may leak it. What I worry about is who leaks the news." Yue Shan said:

"If the people on Guan Lijun's side are okay, but if it's on the side of Dizhou, there will be problems."

Xu Shanying took it seriously and said: "Indeed, if Guan Shuai's people have nothing to do with us. If they are officials in Dizhou, they must find out this mouse."

"It doesn't have to be a mouse. It may be that it was revealed unintentionally. There are too many people who know this news, so it is difficult to keep this secret. It is also difficult to find out who leaked it now." Yue Shan instead laughed:
"It's useless to worry about it. Let the professional interrogators try tomorrow to see if they can pry Guo Lin's mouth open. It's best if they can pry it open. If you can't pry it open, you can't let this matter mess up your position."

"You haven't come back for a few days, go and spend time with your wife and children."

"Here." Xu Shanying bowed and stepped back.

Yue Shan also returned to his room and wrote down all the details of the case, preparing to submit it to Li Shimin tomorrow.

This matter has become such a big deal, it is necessary to give an explanation to the court, otherwise it will be embarrassing.

As for whether to take revenge or not, as he said just now, there is no need.The two sides are fighting each other, even if there is no such thing, Yue Shan will seize every opportunity to attack them, so it doesn't matter whether revenge or not.

Speaking of which, this matter also taught Yue Shan a lesson, many times the flaws come from where you are most at ease.

He was so relieved of Dizhou, he was so relieved that he allowed those scholars who had a grudge against him to study in the academy, go to Beijing to take the imperial examination, and let them be admitted.

Now is the 21st century when the Tang Dynasty does not pay attention to the legal system, but pays attention to revenge.If you stick to the rules of the 21st century to restrain yourself, you will die ugly.

Don't say anything about cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots, at least take more precautions.But it's not too late to understand now, and it's not too late to make up for it.

At the same time, Yue Shan also saw the methods of the aristocratic family, they were very tricky and well-known, and they almost succeeded.

It's not that they were planning on Yue Shan, if it were anyone, even Changsun Wuji, he would lose his skin if he didn't die this time.

Gentlemen and not the party, this is the self-cultivation of scholars, and it is also the ruler's requirement for courtiers.No ruler would like to see his subjects work together against the imperial court.

The Donglin Party in the Ming Dynasty was something that would kill the emperor for no apparent reason.

The phrase 'the water is too cold' has done away with their ugly faces.

In fact, the "Party" has existed since ancient times, and some people have joined together to fight for power and profit based on interests, mentors and apprentices, theories, regions, etc.

But everyone will not come blatantly, at least put on a skin for themselves.As long as the trouble is not too much, no one will say anything.

But now in Dizhou, a group of scholars who have just been elected and have not yet taken office dare to unite against the imperial court. This really touched the bottom line and caused public anger.

No matter how magnanimous the emperor is, he will be angry, and those who are involved should not end well.

Is this something you ordered?
yes?Then you want to rebel.

no?You can't even look down on one-third of an acre of land for your own family. If you have problems with your ability, what do you need?

It can be said that this move of the family is too unexpected, and so deadly.

It's a pity that they met Yue Shan, so they failed.

This is not because Yue Shan is a child of a fairy, nor is it because he is the son-in-law of the queen's brother-in-law, the eldest princess, but because of the globe, because of the co-lord of the world...

The ancients were limited by the environment at that time, and their eyes were limited to this corner of the Central Plains, so they didn't know how vast the outside world was.

But Yue Shan knew that he also told Li Shimin about the outside world, and drew a big cake of 'the world is the master of all'.

It's not just a big pie, but also a practical plan. The two have been working hard in this area for so many years, and they have achieved good results.

It can be said that Li Shimin is one of the few people in this world who jumps out of the geographical circle and focuses on the world.So his thinking also transcended the boundaries of the 'Central Plains' circle.

And he also believed that Yue Shan, who shares the same ideals with him, would not do stupid things just for the little profit in front of him.

But other people don't know this. Most people still think that the Central Plains is the center of the world, and they still look at everything with the same eyes.

All their plans are based on the circle in front of them, which looks very clever, but in the eyes of Li Shimin who has jumped out of the circle, it is so ridiculous.

So no matter how the aristocratic family calculates Yue Shan, it is always a little bit short of success, sometimes a little bit is a billion bit.And this is caused by information asymmetry.

At the Xiaochao meeting the next day, Yue Shan announced the results of the investigation in public.

When he heard that the three black hands behind him were surnamed Cui, Zheng, and Wang, most of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty showed such expressions.

Yue Shan simply stated the information he obtained from his interrogation, and did not attach himself to the five surnames, Qiwang and the aristocratic family, and Li Shimin did not say anything similar, but simply said that there was a hunt for him and then skipped it.

There was no punishment for Yue Shan. Except for the seven people who were found out and sent to prison, the rest of the scholars in Dizhou were deprived of their Jinshi status and could not retire for life.

Regarding this result, none of the officials in the court stood up to oppose it. Everyone knew what was going on in their hearts, and no one would stand up and die.

As for the spokesperson of the aristocratic family... I just took advantage of it, so don't stand up and make a statement at this time, in case someone finds an excuse to chop them off and cry.

As the New Year approached, there were a lot of things to do, and the court would last until noon before leaving the court. Yue Shan's hungry stomach was growling, but he could not leave yet.Li Shimin ordered several core officials to discuss matters, and he was one of them.

"Yuehou, you need to be more careful in the future. Fortunately, this time, my lady...otherwise it will be troublesome." Dugu Yanyun said.

"It is indeed a lesson, thank you Mr. Dugu for your concern." Yue Shan said enthusiastically.

Dugu Yanyun was supposed to die in the Xuanwumen Incident, but was fooled by Yue Shan and changed his fate, and regarded Yue Shan as a lifesaver.

Later, when Yue Shan was assassinated, he went to Suzhou to serve as an extermination of the salt bandit bully and avenge Yue Shan. He just transferred back to Beijing a few days ago.

Although the two don't really have much contact, their relationship is very close.Not to mention walking around during the holidays, the kind where family members would visit the door in person from time to time.

"There's no need for us to see each other like this." Dugu Yanyun waved his hands and said, "If you interrogate well, you should be able to find out a lot of information. Do you need me to lend you some experts?"
