The Sword of Smiling and Proud

Chapter 21
Everyone didn't dare to go forward for a while, and froze in place.

"Bold, if you dare to show your sword in front of Benzhi County, you will fail in rebellion!" Wang Yunxuan put a big hat on it.

Before he could urge everyone to act violently, he saw a group of heavily armed soldiers pouring into the county government office, and then two people came in.

"Who wants to rebel, show me quickly, Jin Yiwei hasn't encountered a major case of rebellion for many years."

The leading officer said jokingly.

The person standing next to him was He Sanqi, it turned out that he was lucky enough to stop Princess Xing's carriage in Xinyang, and told about the many crimes committed by the magistrate of Nanyang.Concubine Xing Jiang's family is also a person who hates evil, so she sent the guards of the palace, led by the officer Jin Yiwei, to Nanyang with He Sanqi to control the situation.Wait for your car to arrive, and then start the interrogation to check it out.

"A certain family surnamed Zhu is from a hundred households of Jinyiwei. They came to Nanyang to investigate the case under the order of the concubine of Prince Xing's Mansion. Anyone who dares not cooperate will be dealt with by military law."

The Jinyiwei officer, surnamed Zhu, is in his thirties and looks very handsome.

"My Nanyang County is only concerned with arresting local thieves, so why should I bother the adults of Jinyiwei to do it?"

Seeing that it was Jin Yiwei who came, Wang Yunxuan lost three points in arrogance.But he was unwilling to reconcile, so he secretly reminded Zhu Baihu that this is a matter of the local government, and it seems that the Jinyiwei of the palace is not suitable to intervene.

"Not necessarily, I received a report saying that you Nanyang County officials and businessmen have colluded with each other, and they have disturbed the lives of the people and displaced them. But there is such a thing!" Zhu Baihu intends to establish his prestige, and he insists on the crime of Wangzhi County. said.

"Why did you say that, why did you say that! This is all slander, please learn from me, my lord."

Jinyiwei itself has the duty of monitoring all officials and spying inside and outside.In the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, the civil servants and Jin Yiwei had long been at odds and attacked each other.When Zhu Baihu saw that Wang Yunxuan had a big belly and a round waist, with a loyal and treacherous appearance, he felt disdainful in his heart. Isn't this a standard match for a corrupt official?

"Invite the magistrate to go down first, and rest in peace in the lobby. Then lock up all the rich households in the palace, and I will testify in person." Zhu Baihu waved his big hand, and asked his palace guards to arrest them first. people go.

Under the leadership of several Jin Yiwei guards, the guards of the palace broke into the courtyard of the palace family like a tiger into a flock of sheep, and they were catching Gong Yuqing.Seeing that it was Jin Yiwei, everyone in the Gong family didn't dare to resist, and the relevant people were taken to the county government office together.

In less than an hour, 47 people from three large households in the city were all locked back, and for a while there were dense crowds standing under the lobby.

Jin Yiwei Zhu Baihu didn't talk too much with them, just let the sergeants watch over him, then turned around and entered the hall, sat carelessly on the pear flower wood chair, and chatted with Guan Xiu and others.

"I heard from old man He that Director Guan has just arrived?"

"Exactly, when I first took office at the beginning of the next month, I found something wrong here, so I ran around to find out about it."

After finishing speaking, he handed the sorted evidence to Zhu Baihu.

"It's the hero who gave birth to a boy!" Zhu Baihu took the evidence, but didn't start to look at it immediately, but said, "The princess was very angry when she heard about this, and asked me to come to the front stop. I guess the car will arrive tomorrow. Arrive There are twists and turns, let the concubine and the prince decide."

"You can think about it, if you falsely accuse the county magistrate, you will be jailed." Zhu Baihu had already begun to believe that Wang Yunxuan's butt was not clean, but probably because of professional habits, he also wanted to scare Guan Xiu.

"Don't worry, my lord. The two of my brothers are not sure enough to dare to disturb Prince Xing's mansion. Now that there are all witnesses and material evidence, the princess is here. You can tell at a glance."

Guan Yuan said from the side, speaking with certainty.

"Okay, okay, what a pair of young heroes!" Zhu Baihu admired Guan Yuan's confidence.

Wang Yunxuan's face was earthy and trembling, Zhu Baihu and others didn't bother to talk to him.

When everyone waited until the second day, the rich man and others who were arrested could no longer bear the psychological pressure. They said everything in the hall, and all the evils they had done earlier were uttered in one go, creating a chaotic scene.

Before the hour of Chen, the carriage of the Wangfu had already arrived at the Nanyang County Yamen. Surrounded by the guards, the Princess Jiang got out of the carriage, holding a 5 or 6-year-old boy in his hand. looking around.

"I have seen the princess in my humble position, my son."

"Zhu Baihu, please." Jiang didn't hesitate, and went directly to the lobby, asking about the case.

The Jiang family was originally the daughter of Jiang Chen, the commander of the army and horses in the capital, a general and a tiger daughter.After reading the many files prepared by Guan Xiu and interrogating Jin Sangu about her past, she made plans for this matter.

"Zhu Baihu, it seems that Nanyang County is indeed rotten from the root as the Guan family brothers said." Jiang said, "But how to deal with it, Baihu has an idea?"

"The humble position is waiting for the arrangement of the princess."

"Xiao'er, what do you think?"

The eldest son Zhu Houcong has been extremely intelligent since he was a child. The princess wanted to test him, so she asked him for his opinion.

"I Xing Wangfu is a child of the royal family. I shouldn't interfere in the affairs of this place. But Nanyang County has done too much. The dignified magistrate and the wealthy households in the territory have neglected human lives, annexed land, and evaded national taxes. It is said that this is under the sky. , Could it be Wang Tu, such an act is tantamount to stealing and selling the royal property, an unforgivable crime."

"Then what should I do to Xingwangfu?" Jiang asked Zhu Houcong with great interest, emphasizing in words how he should operate Xingwangfu.

Zhu Houcong was a big kid, put his hands behind his back, walked a few steps, and said,

"Wang Yunxuan, the county magistrate, flouted the laws of the country and arrested him on the spot. He was imprisoned in the Jinyiwei Prison, and the file was sent to various yamen in Henan Province, demanding a multi-party interrogation."

"As for the wealthy households such as the Gong family, hmph, mere merchants dare to commit such a serious crime. They will be sent directly to the army and their property will be confiscated."

"According to the rubbings of the land deeds found in the master's book, return the occupied land to the common people."

"The whole matter is said to be the Royal Jinyiwei who decides for the people, so as not to cause serious harm."

This method kills three birds with one stone. Firstly, there are real evidences. Under the supervision of Jin Yiwei, the yamen of Henan Prefecture will be tried together. Naturally, they cannot take sides; , Old Zhu's family got a good reputation.Even in the future, someone would sue his cousin, Emperor Zhengde, what the Xingwang Mansion did was upright and upholding the reputation of the Tian family.

"Okay, Zhu Baihu, let's do it according to Xiao'er's method." Jiang was very satisfied, looking at her son happily.

Jin Yiwei picked up Wang Yunxuan who had already been limp on the ground, put on shackles and put him in prison.All the wealthy families were crying for their fathers and mothers, and they were in a miserable state. They regretted their mistakes, and they should not be so weak.The onlookers applauded and applauded, and sighed that finally a master of the blue sky made decisions for the people.

That Zhu Houcong was unmoved, but was secretly proud of his idea.

Seeing this, Guan Yuan sighed secretly in his heart, he deserved to be the future Emperor Jiajing, with such an emperor's appearance at such a young age.
