The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 367
In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there was no precedent for the first assistant to be killed at home. Wen Tiren's death definitely shocked the whole country.

But it is not difficult for Yang Yong and the others to accomplish this.

Firstly, there was a big gap between the people and the officials in ancient times, and ordinary people were afraid of officials, so basically no one dared to climb over the wall and enter the official's house, let alone such a big official.

Secondly, during the Ming Dynasty, there were generally not many people in the first assistant's family, unlike in the general's mansion, where he could bring his family members and soldiers.

If there are honest civil servants, there may be only two or three servants and servants in the house, except for the family members. There are very few people and there are no security measures.

Historically, Zhang Juzheng was probably the one with the largest family members. It is said that dozens of people would carry a sedan chair for him to travel. There is also Xu Jie. This Shoufu family has hundreds of thousands of acres of land and thousands of tenants. There are many nursing homes at home. Of course, when he was in the capital, there must not be so many people in his family.

As for Wen Tiren, he usually pretended to be noble and upright. He had a small family and not many servants. Of course, it was unexpected that someone would dare to climb over the wall and kill him.

If a person is fucked, it will be earth-shattering.

At the foot of the emperor, in the imperial city, a high-ranking official like the chief assistant was killed at home.

Chongzhen was startled and frightened. What is the difference between killing Shoufu and rebellion?
Dare to kill Shoufu and dare not kill me, Zhu Youjian?

Check, we must check to find out the truth, check to the death.

He issued a death order, telling Luo Yangxing's Jinyiwei to solve the case, and the local officials cooperated with Luo Yangxing unconditionally. It seems that Chongzhen believed in Jinyiwei, thinking that Jinyiwei was omnipotent.

Luo Yangxing has been suffering from a headache for the past two days, wishing he could quit his job.

First Dong Yanxian died in Jinyiwei Prison, and then Wen Shoufu was killed.

On the surface, it seems that these two cases are related, but no one dares to say.

You can't say that Zhou Yanru sent someone to avenge his staff, right?
It's impossible to think about it, how could Zhou Yanru do such a stupid thing.

Moreover, whether Dong Yanxian was killed by Wen Tiren is questionable.

Luo Yangxing thought about it for himself, if I was warm and benevolent and someone threw rotten eggs, would I be able to kill him in prison?Surely you won't do that, aren't you an idiot?

But thinking about it the other way around, everyone thinks that I, Wen Tiren, would not do this, so I just do it, isn't it good?

Thinking about it this way, everyone thinks that Zhou Yanru won't kill Wen Tiren, so I did it anyway, isn't it good?

It's messed up, so people who are too smart are always bad.

Luo Yangxing was very smart. When he thought about it this way, he immediately realized that Wen Tiren might kill Dong Yanxian, and Zhou Yanru might also kill Wen Tiren.

But he knew very well in his heart that he couldn't think of why Wen Tiren wanted to kill Dong Yanxian, and it was impossible for Zhou Yanru to kill Wen Tiren, so who did it?

Among the ministers in the court, who will benefit?

After Wen Tiren's death, Zhou Yanru was affected again. Now who is the most able to enter the cabinet, and who hates them the most?Of course it was Qian Yiqian.

At that time, when the academician Liu Hongxun was dismissed from office, Qian Yiqian had the best chance among the cabinet recruits.

As a result, Zhou and Wen teamed up, and Wen also published a "Straight Haired God and Traitor", exposing Qian Qianqiu's imperial examination fraud case related to Qian Qianyi. As a result, Chongzhen kicked Qian away.

If anyone in the DPRK hates Zhou and Wen the most, it must be Qian.

Now that one of these two has fallen and the other has been killed, Qian might wake up laughing from his dream.

Well, Luo Yangxing suddenly felt that he had found the point, so he immediately looked into it.

Less than half a month later, Jin Yiwei captured Xiaoqi who had escaped.

As soon as Xiaoqi came back, he cried and confessed that he likes to gamble, and every time he loses a lot, no one lent him money before. Once, he met a man named Yuan Li in a casino, and he often lent money to him for less than a month. I owe Yuan Li more than 200 taels.

After Dong Yanxian was arrested, Yuan Li found Xiaoqi and asked him to kill someone. Not only did he avoid the debt, but he also gave him another 500 taels.

Xiaoqi put his mind to death, and after killing Dong Yanxian, he took his family and ran out overnight.

Jin Yiwei immediately searched the casino, and found that the backstage of the casino was still a family of Jin Yiwei, and the people who came to play were all Jin Yiwei's middle and low-level military officers, various small government officials, etc., as well as wealthy people from the private sector.

They arrested a lot of people, and after questioning, they found out that the man named Yuan Li often lent money to others, and only to people in the government office, especially the prison boss, arresting something.

When Luo Yangxing found out here, he disconnected because no one knew who Yuan Li was and where he came from.

Luo Yangxing felt that the name was fake.

He can only let people draw a general outline based on the descriptions of each person, but the pictures at that time are really hard to describe, and it is estimated that they may not be able to recognize each other, let alone that Yuan Li's people will definitely dress up in disguise. .

The egg case in August 6th year of Chongzhen became a new shame for the Ming Dynasty. The chief assistant was killed and the dignity of the court was lost.

The case was investigated until October and there was still no conclusion. Even Chongzhen felt ashamed. Finally, under his instruction, Luo Yangxing closed the case hastily.

Luo said that Xiaoqi took Wen Tiren's money, killed Dong Yanxian in prison, and then went to collect the remaining half of the money, but Wen Tiren refused to admit it, and only said that Xiaoqi should teach Dong Yanxian a lesson, and he didn't let him be beaten to death. Xiaoqi was furious Under the circumstances, he entered Wen's house at night and killed Wen.

So the case was solved by the wise and powerful Luo Yangxing.

All the small flags were cut off, and the dignity of the court was maintained.

In mid-October, Zhou Yanru, who was living at home, was reprimanded by decree, and it is estimated that there is no hope of coming back.

In November, Cheng Jiming, who was a clean and honest official and known as "the innocent minister", was recalled to the court and served as the chief assistant and minister of the Ministry of officials.

In the third year of Chongzhen's Cheng Jiming, he served as the transition chief assistant, and was later attacked by Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren, Wu Zongda and others. In order to protect himself, he resigned from office in September of that year.Now that Wen Zhou is gone, Ding Yi was surprised that he was revived.

This person is an upright official and very capable. When the capital arrested Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou was also present. Cheng Jiming found that Zu Dashou's legs were trembling beside him. He felt that this person was unreliable and might rebel, so he advocated careful handling. Don't rush to deal with Yuan Chonghuan and tell Zu Dashou not to leave.

But no one in the court listened to him. Sure enough, as soon as Zu Dashou returned to the camp, he immediately returned to Liaodong with his soldiers and horses. Since then, he has never entered the capital again. It's almost indistinguishable from rebellion.

Zu Dashou didn't have any problems later on. Chongzhen summoned him to Beijing a few times ago, but he didn't.

When Ding Yi returned to Pidao and heard the news, he was also slightly taken aback.

In contrast, he would rather use a waste like Zhou Yanru as the chief assistant of Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect Chongzhen to use him as Jiming.

But when he thought about it, it didn't matter how long in history Cheng Ji died.
