Chapter 454

"Okay! I really want to kill today... Some people deserve to die; some people deserve to be killed; I won't be my own Han..." Yang Reform had murderous intent and hatred on his face, this murderous intent and hatred have been depressed in his heart, some hatred even came from every period of Chongzhen's seventeen years of history , These hatreds that travel through time and space of history gather on Yang Reform layer upon layer.

Fang Hongzan listened to the emperor's cold and murderous words, and fell on the ground, terrified, summoned up great courage and raised his head to take a peek at the emperor, and was immediately shocked by the emperor's murderous intent and hatred!The emperor who has always been gentle, this murderous intent, this hatred, must be too strong, so strong that it is suffocating, and he quickly put his head down, only kneeling on the ground can he feel more comfortable.

"This time you are asked to kill, do you know how to kill?" Yang Reform asked coldly.

"Return to Your Majesty, according to His Majesty's list, immediately arrest these people, torture and interrogate them, and find out who is the accomplice, who is the backbone, and who is involved. The rebellious thieves were wiped out in one go..." Fang Hongzan immediately said, this is basically their Jin Yiwei's case handling process, one accomplice is questioned, then tortured, another accomplice is found out, until the entire network of relationships is uprooted, this kind of The method of handling the case is simple but the most effective. No one can last long under the torture of the Zhen Fu Division.

"Return to Your Majesty, this slave will obey His Majesty, whoever His Majesty tells your slave to kill, this slave will kill, who deserves to die, whoever will die, this slave will obey Your Majesty..." Cao Huachun was much more straightforward than Fang Hongzan, anyway, he recognized a truth, the emperor The words are the biggest, he will do whatever the emperor tells him to do, as to whether he is guilty or not, this is not a question he considers.

"That's right, I need exactly this kind of person." Yang Reform replied without emotion.

Fang Hongzan panicked, the emperor didn't respond after he spoke, but when Cao Huachun spoke, the emperor praised him, could it be that he wasn't cruel enough?Then quietly raised his head to look at the emperor, the emperor was much "gentle", but he couldn't find the "warmness" before.

"The treason case of Jin merchants in Shanxi this time is not a small case. The water inside is very deep. I really want to kill people this time, but how to arrest, how to kill, and how to handle the case is something that must be considered. Question, have you ever thought that Shanxi Shanxi merchants can send news to Donglu, and transport supplies, grain, grass, ordnance? Is it possible for a small merchant to do it? Without the help of frontier officials, they can transfer large sums of money Where will the grain and supplies be transported to Donglu? It has not been a year or two since the rise of Donglu. Who knows if these frontier generals and officials who are in charge of the internal affairs have been promoted? Perhaps, it is a minister in my court who is not sure now. Well..." Yang Reform still said coldly.

Fang Hongzan and Cao Huachun broke out in a cold sweat when they heard the emperor's words. Hearing what the emperor meant, could it be possible that they would contact the ministers in the court this time about the case of the Shanxi merchants' cooperation with captives?In other words, this is a shocking treason case, involving Eastern captives, Shanxi merchants, border generals, and court ministers?This is really a big "business"!No wonder the emperor was so furious. I don’t know how many people will be killed this time. This time, I am afraid that more people will be killed than in the last Wei case. Very gentle, easy to talk, like this time, the killing intent and hatred all over the emperor's body has reached the point where people can't breathe. I don't know how many heads have to be killed to appease the emperor's wrath.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I know what to do. No matter how high an official he is, he dares to plot rebellion. In the eyes of the minister, he is nothing more than a dead person..." Fang Hongzan immediately said viciously. Knowing the basic content of this case, killing Jin merchants, digging out a certain official in the court, let alone whether there is any evidence pointing to a certain minister in the court, if the emperor said that it was related to a certain minister, then he would It is "related" to do it, of course, if it is really related, that's even better, and it saves him from being "related to it".It is not a fool to be the leader of the Jinyiwei. The emperor has said so much, if he still cannot hear something from the words and understand the meaning of the emperor, it is not his turn to be the leader of the Jinyiwei.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this servant understands His Majesty's difficulties, and will definitely make a solid case for the fact that the Shanxi merchants conspired against the captives and betrayed the country. Even if it is a joint trial by the three divisions, this servant will definitely leave the ministers of the court speechless... ..." Cao Huachun thinks more thoroughly, and has a deeper understanding of the emperor. The emperor is not the kind of person who shoots aimlessly, and he doesn't like to make things out of nothing. Since the emperor said so sternly that he will be involved with the courtiers in this matter, Cao Huachun does I really believe that there is such a thing. Since there is such a thing, it will be easy to handle. Don't worry about not being able to find evidence. With strong evidence, Cao Huachun is confident, and the ministers dare not say anything to the emperor.

"Okay, it's good that you can understand the seriousness of this. I have some requirements for this matter. Please note that the action must be fast, accurate, and ruthless. Don't be sloppy. It's not just these few people who are arrested, including their families. , relatives, storekeepers, buddies, convoys, horse teams, guides, all of these may have participated in the coup, and no one should be let go. The pass through which to pass, who gets shelter, who is in contact with, and who is related to each other... At least twice a day, news is sent to the capital. If there is new evidence or important news, it will be sent to the capital immediately. Come on, these will be evidence in the future, and they must be recorded one by one, otherwise, if there is no evidence in the future, the courtiers will clamor, and you will be in trouble... In addition, I want to remind you that in this case, you will search your home and Involving stolen goods and a large amount of money and goods, some short-handed people in Jinyiwei may take the opportunity to stretch their hands inside. I know this is difficult to stop, and I will not be unreasonable. This time the matter is done, and I will specially draw it out. Part of it is as a reward for Jin Yiwei, but when handling the case, you must never reach out. This point must not be surpassed. According to my reliable news, Shanxi merchants will not only transport the supplies to Donglu, but also rob Donglu from me. The gold and silver goods that were transported by them to the mainland were realized, and the grain and supplies they bought were paid for. These goods are all evidence of their collusion with captives. After they are found, they should be registered and kept well. I will still use them in the future. If someone dares to reach out , It's something that hurts me, if you dare to hurt me, you might as well chop off a few of them..." Yang Reform said in a stern tone.

Hearing the emperor's stern tone, both Fang Hongzan and Cao Huachun dared not speak out.Hearing that the emperor had finished speaking, he replied cautiously, seeing the emperor's meticulous planning, this matter is not new.

"Cao Huachun, this time, you have to go there personally and sit in Shanxi. No matter who is involved, you will be put in prison immediately. Ask what you need to ask, and beat what you need to beat. Dig deep quickly. Be sure to quickly get rid of the 'inside' that is deeply hidden in my court. No matter who is involved, no matter who is involved, we will never tolerate it. If it involves local civil and military officials, you can first isolate and control it, prevent him from communicating with the outside world, report it to me immediately, and wait for me to deal with it..." Yang Reform said again .

"Slaves lead the decree!" Cao Huachun immediately agreed, a little happy in his heart, such a big matter, the emperor entrusted him to do it, it shows that the emperor trusts him, this matter is done, it is a great achievement, his weight in the emperor's heart Naturally it goes without saying.

Cao Huachun thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, there are only a few people in the Military Intelligence Bureau. For such a big matter, the Military Intelligence Bureau alone may not have enough manpower, and maybe we need to send more people."

"Don't worry, I know this. You can call some people from Jinyiwei to help you handle the case. Your people are mainly to handle the case and dig out the insiders and ghosts of our dynasty. The new army and the new army will go with you. It will start today. In the name of changing the defense of Shaanxi, I will send a group of new troops there. You should handle this case first. After arresting some people, you have important evidence. I report, while asking for help from the passing new army, they will definitely help, they are responsible for assisting you, helping you block roads, block news, watch over suspects, watch over the stolen goods involved in the case, shock the place, if anyone dares to resist, they will be arrested on the spot Kill me, I will give you the Shangfang sword, do things cheaply, when the time comes to contact the new army, take my Shangfang sword, they will understand, but this matter involves confidentiality, unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not take out the Shangfang sword... ..." Yang Reform said, relying solely on the Jinyiwei of the Military Intelligence Bureau to handle this matter, Yang Reform is not at ease, how can a lot of money be copied in this Shanxi business case, just relying on a Jinyiwei, Yang Reform suspects that not much money can In his own hands, this is a big loss. Moreover, Yang Reform’s previous idea was to use the Military Intelligence Bureau to externally and the Jinyiwei internally to disperse the powers of the secret agents so that he can control them. , Therefore, Yang Reform decided to let the Military Intelligence Bureau take action. Of course, the Military Intelligence Bureau is still affiliated with Jinyiwei. From the perspective of outsiders, they are all Jinyiwei.

"The minister leads the decree!" Cao Huachun breathed a sigh of relief. This task is easier than originally imagined. Since the emperor has used the new army, it means that the emperor has already figured out the situation here. As for mobilizing the new army at first hand, go by yourself, that is, dig out the things that are already hidden in the water, which is a relatively "simple" job. Cao Huachun believes that with his "case-handling" methods, he can Digging out those things that "existed" didn't take much effort at all. He didn't believe that anyone could withstand the torture of the Zhen Fusi. He was worried about "creating evidence". Now it seems that it may not be possible. Need to do it yourself.

"Here, I warn you once again that this matter must be kept secret. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say. Anyone who asks or talks nonsense, and asks for information everywhere, can be treated as a traitor. , This one also applies to Jinyiwei's internal..." Yang Reform raised the issue of secrecy again, and put the magic spell on Jinyiwei's head.

"The minister (servant) takes the order!" Fang Hongzan and Cao Huachun immediately agreed.

"Report to Your Majesty, that minister..." Seeing that Cao Huachun had been assigned a job in Shanxi, Fang Hongzan couldn't help becoming anxious. He couldn't help the emperor at this critical moment, so why would the emperor want to do it himself?
"You have more important matters. This matter is very involved. The capital, all over the country, may be constantly involved in this matter. You sit in the capital and pay close attention to the situation in various places. Once you find that you are involved in the Shanxi business case, act immediately , when the time comes, you will be busy." Yang Reformed.

"Minister Zunzhi!" Fang Hongzan's heart was pounding. It seemed that the emperor's move was quite big this time, involving the whole country. The water this time was so deep!But looking at the emperor's meticulous arrangement, it seemed that the winner was in his hands, and Fang Hongchan's heart beat wildly.

"The big companion is responsible for monitoring the situation in the capital. If there is any change in the court, please report it to me immediately." Yang Reform said again.

"Your maidservant takes the order!" Wang Chengen also solemnly agreed.

"Others, I won't say much. When you two go back, immediately mobilize people and start to act. Be careful, don't disclose any information about this matter. Let's talk about it when you get to the ground. This matter must be done for me. That's it." Let's do it." Yang Reform said seriously.

"The minister leads the decree!" Several people agreed in response.

……

After finally sending away the first batch, Yang Reform's tense heart finally calmed down a little bit. This matter has already started, so there is no room for it, so he can only do his best.

"Big Companion, call Master Sun, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming to see me." Yang Reform immediately saw the second group of people. This matter had already started, so he had to be ruthless.

"I'm going now, servant girl." Wang Chengen responded and went out immediately.

Yang Reform sat in a daze in the warm pavilion, and carefully recalled his loopholes again.

Not long after, Sun Chengzong, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming arrived at the Nuan Pavilion.

Still, Yang Reform asked Wang Chengen to transfer the young eunuch who was serving him away.

Seeing that Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were following him, Sun Chengzong probably knew what was going on when he saw the atmosphere.

After entering the Nuan Pavilion, I saluted.Sun Chengzong was the first to ask: "Your Majesty, have you started this matter?"

"That's right, I've already taken action. I've ordered Cao Huachun to go to Shanxi." Yang Reform has calmed down a lot. Now that he has started, it's no use getting excited, hesitating, or hesitating. A group of damned people fighting.

"...Your Majesty has finally done it!" Sun Chengzong sighed and said, the emperor has been planning for this day for a long time. Some people really deserve to die, and some people must die. On this matter, Sun Chengzong unconditionally supports the emperor , Back then, he was also in charge of Liaodong outside the customs, and he had feelings for the people and things in Liaodong. Those people were the scourge. If there were no such people, the Eastern captives might not be as rampant, and the people in Liaodong might not have died as much.

Both the emperor and Sun Chengzong fell into silence, while Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming looked at the emperor and Sun Chengzong in surprise, not knowing what they were talking about.

"Today is the day when you leave for Shaanxi, are you ready?" Yang Reform was silent for a while, but still broke the silence and asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, I'm ready, I'm already looking forward to going to the battlefield." Kong Youde immediately agreed happily, Wu Sangui fought a lot of battles in Shaanxi, although he only dealt with some bandits, he was not as famous as fighting outside the pass, However, within the new army, everyone is envious. Wu Sangui, known as No.1 in the new army, is naturally the target of others.

"Okay! You are going to set off today, and I have something to ask you to do." It is the last moment, and there are some things that must be explained clearly in person, and can only be explained to people you trust.

"Your Majesty, please order, I will definitely do it." The two immediately bowed and replied.

"There's something here, please take a look first." Yang Reform signaled Wang Chengen to show the "document" to the two of them.

Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were baffled, what else could the emperor not do, and begged them?What is this?After the two picked it up and looked at it, their expressions immediately changed drastically.

After looking at it for a while, you can immediately understand the content of this item and what they represent.

"Your Majesty, Shanxi Shanxi Merchants really conspired against the captives and betrayed the country? Are those fiascos outside the customs really related to them?" Kong Youde was shocked. Only then did he know all about the inside of the Ming Dynasty, and the many fiascos outside the pass were more or less related to their cooperation with the captives. That is to say, they lost many battles and killed many brothers before, all because of the good deeds of these bastards.

Geng Zhongming also had red eyes and looked like he was going to eat people. They fought the Donglu outside the pass a lot. I don’t know how many people died. Now the emperor told them that the reason for their defeat outside the pass was related to Shanxi’s Jin merchants’ cooperation with the captives. , My lungs are about to explode.

"That's right. I also got this news by accident. There is no doubt about its authenticity. My many fiascos outside the Daming Pass are more or less related to them. There were rumors that many cities were breached, and there were people inside to respond. I thought it was a secret work sent by Donglu, but now it seems that there are people in my dynasty who are "ghosts" to help them." Yang Reform said calmly, facing the two red-eyed "anti-kings", Yang Reform believed it and gave them Opportunity, they will definitely not turn around and join their enemies.

"Your Majesty..." Kong Youde was the first to burst into tears. "...Your Majesty, brothers died unjustly!... They didn't deserve to die..." Kong Youde couldn't control his tears, and was the first to cry.

"...Your Majesty, I wish I could drink the blood and eat the flesh of such a treacherous, collaborator and traitor..." Geng Zhongming said bitterly with red eyes, and tears rolled in his eyes.

"I know you are sad. This task is also related to this matter." Yang Reform said with some regrets. In history, these two monks were fortunate to be forced into the Houjin camp and became After Jin entered the pass, the main force that defeated Nanming, why he worked so hard, probably had something to do with the hatred in his heart.

"...Your Majesty, why are you going to arrest these people?" Kong Youde wiped away his tears a little, the man did not flick his tears lightly, because he hadn't touched the sad place in his heart, how could he cry?People who have seen blood and are used to seeing dead people may not shed tears easily.

"Yes, and no, I have already entrusted Jin Yiwei to handle this matter. However, this matter involves a lot, and may involve frontier generals and even senior officials in the court. Therefore, Jin Yiwei alone may not be able to shock the place. Yours The task is to assist the Jin Yiwei in handling the case, guard the people involved, block the traffic, guard the stolen goods, and take pictures of the place..." Yang Reform explained the tasks of the two.

"...Your Majesty..." Kong Youde really wanted to intercede with the emperor, and he also wanted to handle the case, to kill those who killed his brother and Liaodong.But after thinking about it for a while, the words came to his lips, and he didn't say anything. The emperor's arrangement is not something he can change at his word. Besides, they are the army, and this is a case. Naturally, it is not their turn to handle the case. The emperor asked them to change it. Assisting in handling the case, I already trust them very much.

"Minister obeys the order!" Geng Zhongming came back to his senses, and immediately accepted the order, Kong Youde also came back to his senses, and followed up with the order.

"You set off today, and at the speed of Cheying, you will arrive in Shanxi, which will be slower than Jinyiwei. When you arrive in Shanxi, the case with Jinyiwei is likely to start, and you will be contacted. When the time comes, you will use my Shangfang sword as a guide. Contact, once Jin Yiwei contacts you, you will immediately garrison Shanxi, while assisting Jin Yiwei, report to me immediately, and I will give you an imperial decree to garrison to co-organize... As for why this is so, I am worried that I will send you there from the beginning, and the courtiers will be suspicious , he will be criticized and opposed by the courtiers, and if the matter is not settled, it will not be dealt with. Therefore, I will catch him by surprise and get all the evidence. Therefore, it is you who went to Shaanxi to change defense In name, arrange for you to pass through Shanxi, and once the matter involves treason, Jin Yiwei will ask you for help on the grounds that the matter involves the local guards and side generals, and you will be able to play..." Yang Reform said his arrangement.

"The minister understands, and the minister accepts the order." The two replied immediately.

"Okay! It's good for you to understand. There are still some situations that need to be explained to you. This matter is of great importance. The reason why Shanxi Shanxi merchants can communicate with Donglu all the year round and sell food and supplies must be protected by side generals, so things will happen. It involves the local guard generals, so you have to be prepared just in case..." Yang Reform also ordered, not afraid of [-], just in case, if someone jumps over the wall in a hurry, he can't afford to lose.

"I understand..." the two agreed.

"In addition, I would like to say that the discipline of the new army is what I value most. This case will definitely be suspected of confiscation. If the new army can't keep the discipline, don't blame me for being ruthless and undisciplined troops , I don't expect him to be able to fight, and when he sees a man with an eye for money, he can sell his comrades on the battlefield, so what's the use of keeping such a man?" Yang Reform said aggressively.

"I understand what to do." Kong Youde understood what the emperor meant, and if there were people who were blackmailed at that time, don't blame him.

"I understand..." Geng Zhongming also said.

"Okay, it's good for you to understand. The most taboo thing about this matter is leaking secrets. The word confidentiality is what you need to pay attention to the most. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say, always ask this and that, ask about this Anyone who has information about the case can be regarded as an accomplice in the treason." Yang Reform instructed again.

"The minister leads the decree." The two agreed again.

"Okay, I won't keep you guys anymore. Hurry up and make preparations and set off immediately. Be careful not to leave your anger on your face. This will make it easy for interested people to see the problem." Yang Reform said.

"I understand, thank Your Majesty for your kindness, and I will leave." The two wiped their faces, turning a face full of grief and anger into a monolithic one. Only the red eyes could not be changed for a while.

Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming left.

Yang Reform breathed a sigh of relief again.

"I have done what should be done, and the rest is up to God's will." Yang Reform said to Sun Chengzong with emotion, he has done what he can do, and the rest, he can only wait for the news.

"Your Majesty, it would be best to send people from Dongjiang Town to assist the Shanxi merchants in the case of captives....Since we have already done it, there is no need to regret it. I believe that there is [-]% certainty in this matter. Your Majesty can rest assured." Sun Chengzong comforted The emperor said, he participated in this matter from the beginning to the end, and he saw all the efforts and thoughts the emperor put into this matter. If he can't win this way, it can only be said that the sky is dead.
