high official

Chapter 489 Argument
"Thank you, Mr. Xue, for today's matter." As soon as Ji Gang left, the brocade guards overwhelmed by the dark clouds suddenly dispersed, and Wang Xian cupped his hands to thank Mr. Xue Fuyin.

"Hehe." Xue Zhengyan said with a smile, "Lord Wang, you don't have to be polite, I'm just following orders."

An ordinary answer caused waves in Wang Xian's heart. Last night Zhu Liuye cooperated obediently with him because of the emperor's will. Now Xue Zhengyan is like this, and the cabinet sent the imperial edict in time with unconventional methods. , Wang Xian suddenly understood five words - the emperor's will!

In this Ming Dynasty, in this Jinling Imperial Capital, above the heads of hundreds of millions of people, there is a sky, a golden sun, a power that makes all living beings bow down, that is the will of the emperor!

This will is supreme and cannot be challenged. Anyone who dares to try the law will be crushed to pieces!
But this time, it was a small warning from the emperor, and of course it was not directed at him.His repairs have ended after his face-to-face in the palace.Now I am just being used as a prop by the emperor to warn those restless guys. Although there are many mountains in the Ming Dynasty, never forget the sky above!

Otherwise, Wang Xian would not have received the full assistance of Xue Zhengyan, Zhu Liuye, Yang Shiqi and others this time, and naturally the case would not have gone so smoothly.

For him, it is of course his wish to solve the case smoothly, but he was completely pushed into a situation where he was in a tit-for-tat confrontation with Ji Gang, and there was no turning back at all.Originally, although the two sides were at odds, they did not confront each other face to face, just like the Prince and the King of Han, although they strangled each other in private, they were still brothers and sisters on the surface.But I believe that after tonight, there will be rumors about Dudu Ji being contradicted by his subordinates face-to-face and robbed him of food by his subordinates inside and outside the capital. People guessed, is this mighty leader of Jinyiwei about to lose his power?
So being pushed by the emperor, Wang Xian had no choice but to go to the Colosseum to fight Ji Gang to the death.Although Wang Xian had realized this a long time ago, he would face Ji Gang sooner or later, but it is definitely not now!
But the world is like a chessboard, he is just a chess piece in the hands of the emperor, if the emperor wants him to enter, he will advance, if he wants him to kill, he will kill, even if he wants to abandon him, it is only in the backhand, how can he consider the feelings of the chess piece?
'Fuck, I'm not ready yet! "Wang Xian sighed depressingly when he left Yingtian Mansion with the criminals, "I often hear people talk about killing people, but now I finally understand what it means to kill people..."

.

After recovering from the helplessness of the emperor, Wang Xian shook his head, driving away the sense of powerlessness that enveloped his whole body, and dealt with the current crisis first.

Since Wang Xian has not yet formally joined the Zhenfu Division, Wang Xian will naturally not send the two to prison, but let someone open an independent cross-court in a street hotel as a temporary torture place.

The hotel owner was very surprised by this move, so he said he didn't dare.

"Wu Na store, we can't afford your store money, why don't you dare to rent a room to us?" Shuai Hui said angrily.

"The official misunderstood..." The shopkeeper hastily wiped off his sweat, and said tremblingly, "I dare not accept the money from the official. If the official wants to use the place, just use it."

"Oh, that's how it is..." Shuai Hui scratched his head, obviously not yet adapted to the change of status.Grandma, it turns out that we are already poor officials who don’t need to pay for eating out!

He was about to take back the money bag, but Erhei behind him shuddered and scolded in a low voice: "Can you show me some face?"

Shuaihui touched the bag on his head, and muttered, "I'm also trying to save money for adults."
The shopkeeper led everyone to the most secluded courtyard, and then ran away as if fleeing. The guards guarded the place, and Wang Xian sat upright in the main room, interrogating the No. 1 criminal.Although the question was asked in the hotel, but the question was the Qin case, and there was no sloppy in the details.Wang Xian asked the case in the main hall, and the clerk took notes in the inner room. This is the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and it is said that it can facilitate the preparation of confessions.The criminals are brought up for interrogation separately to avoid collusion.

After a while, the prisoner who was tied up was brought up. He was a handsome young man. The guards asked him to kneel down, and he obediently knelt down.

Wang Xian looked at the young man expressionlessly, and saw that in addition to the fear and begging that prisoners usually have, there was also a heavy sense of guilt in his eyes.

Wang Xian originally hated this arsonist who killed thousands of people, especially his husband and wife. His original plan was to make him unable to live or die after he was caught.However, after seeing these eyes, he lost his anger and just looked at the young man quietly.He opened his mouth and asked, "The suspect has reported his name."

"My name is Jin Yingze." Since the young man surrendered himself, he naturally has the idea of ​​being a good man and doing things as a good man, and he will never implicate others, so he will not hide it.

"Are you that Hanlin inspector from North Korea?" Wang Xian asked.

"Exactly." Mentioning his status in the country, the young man's face showed a trace of pain.

Wang Xian keenly grasped this point, and asked in a deep voice: "Since you are an imperial scholar, you naturally have read the books of sages and sages. How could you do such insane things?" So it was Kim Young-taek who was tried first.And starting from Jin Yingze's identity as a scholar, he will not worry about him not defending himself.

In fact, Jin Yingze and his wife came out to surrender after they learned that Jin Yiwei was going to arrest and execute all the North Koreans in Beijing, and they were worried that their compatriots would be implicated.The object of the surrender was not Jin Yiwei, who had a deep hatred, but Ying Tianfu, which meant that they still had something to say.

Sure enough, Jin Yingze lowered his head and said, "At that time, I didn't think it would cause such a bad result."

"How?" Wang Xian asked.

"My cousin said that the emperor will watch the lanterns in the Wufeng Tower that day, which is the best opportunity to sue the imperial court." Jin Yingze said sadly: "So he wants to use fireworks to write a big injustice in the sky, so I help build it." over that mountain of lights."

"Writing with fireworks?" Wang Xian was taken aback. He knew that there would be such a difficult thing in later generations, so he could do it now?

"I heard that famous craftsmen in the capital can write simple characters on fireworks, such as 'one', 'day', 'two', 'people'." The well-informed Wu Wei said softly: "But I can't write For a word as complicated as 'grievance', unless the craftsmen of North Korea are more skilled."

Jin Yingze changed his face when he heard the words: "It turned out that Daming didn't have this kind of ability. I didn't believe it at first. My cousin said that it can be done in Ming Dynasty, so I believed it."

"So, he deliberately lied to you from the beginning?" Wang Xian said quietly.

"..." Jin Yingze stopped talking. This was a big blow to him. Before, he thought that the firework was not successful, which caused the fire, and he comforted his cousin a few words.Now it seems that it was the cousin who frantically hid it from himself and wanted to take revenge on Daming.Thinking that his family members in North Korea will suffer because of this, fear and resentment finally appeared in Jin Yingze's eyes.

"Are you worried about your family members, will you be implicated?" Wang Xian's words pointed directly at people's hearts.

Jin Yingze didn't say a word, but acquiesced. "If you want them not to be implicated, you must first reduce your own charges." Wang Xian said cogently: "Now, according to your description, you should have been kept in the dark, so that the charges can be greatly reduced. Coupled with taking the initiative If you explain, I think it will be of great benefit to your family in North Korea."

"I said, I said everything." Jin Yingze didn't resist, only confessed.

"That companion of yours is your cousin?" Wang Xian asked.

"Yes." Jin Yingze nodded and said, "His name is Lu Chengjian, and he is my aunt's son."

"Lu Chengjian, what's the relationship with Lu Jieyu?" Wang Xian asked.

"He is Lu Jieyu's biological elder brother," Jin Yingze confessed without waiting to ask: "When Lu Jieyu poisoned and killed Concubine Quan, the emperor sent an envoy to North Korea to preach that the Lu family no longer had to live in North Korea. The implication , asked the king to kill the Lu family. At that time, my uncle was seriously ill and died immediately after hearing about it. My aunt was also arrested and killed by the king. My cousin escaped to my family's manor in the countryside. A catastrophe."

"How did he get into the mission?"

"My cousin heard that I joined the mission and wanted to come to Ming Dynasty to congratulate him." Jin Yingze said bitterly: "So he found me and begged me to bring him to the capital. He wanted to find evidence and rehabilitate my aunt's family. My cousin and I have had a very good relationship since we were young. When we see other people's misery, we can't help feeling sorry for them. In addition, my family's status has been declining due to the involvement of my aunt's family. So I agreed for a moment and asked him to pretend to be me. servants, come to Beijing together."

"What happened next?" Wang Xian asked softly.

"After we came to the capital, I went around with him, mainly asking the North Koreans in Beijing about the situation of the case at that time." Jin Yingze sighed: "But they have no way of knowing the secrets of the palace, but suddenly, they heard that Lv Jieyu, who was extremely favored, was immediately deposed and executed, and as for the reason, the Koreans in the palace kept secrets and couldn't ask anything at all."

"So, you have no clue for a while?" Wang Xian asked.

"Yes or no," Jin Yingze said gloomily, "After going through many twists and turns, I found a nanny in the palace. After paying a lot of money, I found out the truth. But both of us felt that this was unimaginable. The emperor's expedition, only brought Concubine Quan was alone, and Lu Jieyu was in the capital at the time, so how could she poison Concubine Quan to death? Taking a step back, even if it was really Concubine Quan who was poisoned by Lu Jieyu, she and those who knew her should die in their hearts. Maybe talking nonsense? And telling Concubine Quan's maid, is she tired of working?"

"It makes sense." Wang Xian nodded.

"We also feel that there is something strange about it. It is impossible for Lu Jieyu's court lady to say 'poisoned to death like Concubine Quan'. It is likely that someone deliberately distorted it and framed it." Jin Yingze sighed: "We wanted to find Concubine Quan's maid asked clearly, who knew that she had gone mad after seeing Lu Jieyu being tortured. Only Lu Meiren who was the informer was left, but she couldn't move a single step in the deep palace, and no one could see her .”
