Chapter 30: Closed door

As soon as he arrived in the capital, Yue Su, in the name of the Ministry of Punishment, distributed Ma Guangyi's image on a poster almost all over the city of Beijing. Moreover, all officers from Shuntian Prefecture and the Ministry of Punishment were dispatched to conduct house-to-house inquiries. It can be said that as long as people are in the capital,

, if someone knows him, he will definitely be able to translate it.

Fanzi from Dongchang is also a human being, and he also has a family, a mouth, and neighbors. Ma Guangyi is the leader of Dongchang Jiti, not an agent. He is usually very majestic, and the surrounding neighbors not only know him, but also fear him like a tiger. This is

The Ministry of Punishment and Shuntian Prefecture searched the city for your image. There was no reason why they couldn't find it. It only took half a day for officers to visit Ma Guangyi's neighbor and identify his home. At the same time, they also found out his identity.

Profession.

The other party was from Dongchang, and the officers did not dare to act rashly. They hurried back to the Yamen and informed Mr. Yue that Yue Su still didn't care what you did, and immediately ordered Tong Zhou to bring someone to arrest him.

Tong Zhou led his people to Ma's house and knocked on the door a few times. Immediately, a young man came out to open the door. The young man was quite bold. When he saw that the person coming was from the Yamenkou, he immediately shouted and asked: "What are you doing? Did you go to the wrong door?"

"Is your master's surname Ma, Jiti from Dongchang?" Tong Zhou asked loudly.

"Since you know that my husband is from Dongchang, do you still dare to come to your house and rape me?" the young man asked in return.

"Then what does your master look like?" Tong Zhou asked, showing Ma Guangyi's portrait.

When the young man saw that he was indeed his master, he said in confusion: "It's my master, what do you mean?"

"That's fine." Tong Zhou waved his hand and shouted, "Go in and search!"

Tong Zhou had brought more than fifty people with him. He gave an order and the officers pushed the young men aside and swarmed in.

The leader of Dongchang Jiti was not a high-ranking official. Although he could get some money through extortion, the house was not very big. It was just a courtyard with two entrances. The guards quickly pulled out all the people in the house. Ma Guangyi

There was a mother, two wives, a child, and a dozen maids and servants, but Ma Guangyi was not there.

After a brief interrogation, he found out that Ma Guangyi had gone on a business trip in the morning and had not come back yet. After all, it was an important case. In order to prevent anything from happening, Tong Zhou sealed off the Ma family and took the whole family back to the Ministry of Punishment. Afterwards, he reported to Ming Yue Su

.

When going to Dongchang to arrest people, the Ministry of Punishment did not have the right to do so. They could only ask the emperor for an order. According to the usual practice, it was not too late to go to the court the next day to ask for an order. But after all, the case involved a British citizen, and Yue Su did not dare to be careless.

, and immediately entered the palace in person.

When Grand Tutor Yue enters the Forbidden City now, it is no different from entering the front door of his own house. If he announces the news outside, the Emperor will immediately summon him.

After meeting Zhu Carpenter in Yangxin Hall, Yue Su told the British Duke's case, and Zhu Youxiao immediately ordered someone to call Wei Zhongxian.

Eunuch Wei is now on duty. After receiving the message, he came to Yangxin Hall. When he came to the door, he bowed and saluted, "Old slave, please give your regards to the Emperor."

"No need." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, "Come in and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Eunuch Wei slowly walked in, and when he was still two steps away from Carpenter Zhu, he bowed and said, "I wonder what the emperor's instructions are to this old slave."

"Is there a man named Ma Guangyi in Dongchang?" Zhu Carpenter asked.

The father-in-law replied calmly.

"According to Yue Qing's family, he is the one who robbed the British silk goods. You can bring him to me right now." Zhu Carpenter said.

"Ah..." Wei Zhongxian pretended to be surprised, "This guy is so brave. Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will ask someone to bring him here."

After saying that, Wei Zhongxian ran out in a hurry, but came back soon. "Your Majesty, I have sent someone to take this guy into custody. Please wait a moment, Your Majesty."

Dongchang's work efficiency has always been very high. After waiting for a while, an old eunuch came to Yangxin Hall. The old eunuch walked to the entrance of the hall and knelt down directly, "The eunuch in charge of the second room of Dongjishi Factory.

Han Han went to see the emperor."

"What are you doing here?" Zhu Carpenter asked casually.

"Ma Guangyi belongs to my servant's second house. I came here to apologize to the emperor." Han Han said carefully.

"We'll talk about your affairs later. Where are the people from Ma Guangyi?" Zhu Carpenter asked.

"My slave sent him to lead people to capture Huang Zunsu in Zhejiang this morning. He has already left the city. I have just sent people to chase him along the road," Han Han said.

Go to Zhejiang to raise Huang Zunsu? Should I say it or not, Zhu Carpenter's memory is pretty good. He looked at Wei Zhongxian and said: "Wei Qing, remember not long ago, you have asked me to ask for orders to go to Zhejiang."

Are you betting on Huang Zunsu? Why are you going now?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the thing is like this. The people who took Zhou Shunchang and Huang Zunsu into custody last time went together, but something went wrong on the way, and they lost their driving papers. But they came back, and then they sent people forward for the second time.

Go. I don’t know who Eunuch Han sent just now, and I don’t want Ma Guangyi to go." Wei Zhongxian said.

The Donglin Party Prison is divided into the first six gentlemen and the last seven gentlemen. The first six gentlemen are Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Wei Dazhong, Yuan Huazhong, Zhou Chaorui, and Gu Dazhang. The last seven gentlemen are Gao Panlong, Zhou Shunchang, Zhou Qiyuan, Miao Changqi, Li Yingsheng, Zhou Zongjian,

Huang Zunsu.

After Eunuch Wei drove away Ye Xianggao and his gang, he still pursued and beat up some officials of the Donglin Party, including the Seven Gentlemen. A few days ago, when he went to capture Zhou Shunchang, a civil uprising was triggered in Suzhou

, the common people beat Dongchang Fanzi to death. It is unfortunate because the people's enthusiasm was too high and they beat Fanzi whenever they saw him. Another group of people who went to capture Huang Zunsu were also implicated and lost their car in a hurry.

Post. If there is no post, who else are you going to arrest? You can only rush back.

However, the person who went to detain Huang Zunsu for the second time was actually not Ma Guangyi.

When Yue Sugang returned to the city and sent people to search for Ma Guangyi throughout the city, Wei Zhongxian had already received the news that the agency had been "exposed". Ma Guangyi happened to be working in Dongchang at that time, so Wei Eunuch simply stopped doing nothing and directly

They killed Ma Guangyi and all the fans who went to rob the goods that day. Then he told Han Han that if he was found out, he would tell him that he had sent Ma Guangyi out of the city this morning and went to Zhejiang to capture Huang Zunsu.

Anyway, those who don’t know are not guilty.

The carpenter nodded and said, "Wei Qing, I'll leave this matter to you. Send someone quickly to arrest Ma Guangyi and hand it over to Yue Qing."

"Old slave obeys the order."

This matter has been fooled by Eunuch Wei, and Yue Su also understands that he will never see Ma Guangyi again in this life. With Dongchang's methods, even Ma Guangyi's body will probably be evaporated. Okay, let's forget it.

, anyway, the Li family’s injustice was cleared.

Yue Su returned to the Ministry of Justice and personally wrote a letter to the British official, explaining the whole story of the case. Naturally, the doubtful points must be stated. In addition, the person who robbed the silk goods in the house has been identified. He is a Dongchang fan, but he is not a human being.

Whether it can be found again is another matter. I will try my best here, but the matter definitely has nothing to do with the Li family, because the Li family has not mobilized the ability of Dongchang, and it is very likely that they deliberately framed it.

The content of the letter was relatively obscure, and it was not mentioned by name that Wei Zhongxian was the one who instigated it. However, a discerning person could guess that even if it was not Wei Zhongxian, it might be someone from the top of the East Factory. In the end, someone bribed Ma Guangyi.

The British man is not short of money, he is just short of breath. Now the truth is basically revealed. As a member of the fox clan, he can guess at least that he is being used as a gunman. Forget it, forget it. No silk goods.

OK, can you send someone to the south to collect it?

The city of Beijing came to a standstill again. A few days passed and the imperial court issued an order to send people to the nine sides for a military parade to check the number of soldiers, horses and ordnance.

This time we sent people to inspect Jiubian, and the official positions of the people they sent were the same as before, but there were two differences that were a little different. The first place was Liaodong, and the people they sent were Liu Yingkun, the eunuch and eunuch Liu Yingkun and Eunuch Liu.

He is considered a prominent figure in the Forbidden City and ranks fourth among the Supervisors of Ceremonies. Sending such a person to inspect Liaodong was beyond everyone's imagination, but everyone could vaguely understand that Eunuch Wei wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to inspect the border troops.

, attack Sun Chengzong.

The one who inspected Jizhen was Ruan Zhenmei, the right deputy of the Du Censor of the Du Procuratorate. He had two tasks during his trip. One was to inspect the border troops, and the other was to thoroughly investigate the case in which Zhang Guozhu took advantage of the situation.

The emperor issued an imperial edict that all officials who inspect the border troops will depart in three days. Before leaving, few people are allowed to see these officials off at their homes.

The right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Imperial Censor, said it was a big deal or a small deal, but Lord Ruan had just arrived in the capital for the first time and had not made many friends. Logically speaking, not many people should have come to see him off.

But everything cannot be treated according to common sense. Maybe it is because Mr. Ruan is very popular. Since the imperial edict was issued, the door of Mr. Ruan's house has been really busy, and there is an endless stream of people coming to see him off. Don't go empty-handed when you come to see him off. There is a big car.

, the gifts in small cars were delivered to Ruan Mansion one by one.

As a court official, as long as he is a Beijing official, the court mostly arranges houses, and these houses are lived in in turns. After the right deputy censor leaves office, you will vacate the court house and leave it to the next one. Therefore, Ruan Zhenmei

Once you enter Beijing, you will have a place to live.

The father-in-law is leaving Beijing, and as a son-in-law, he has to go and see him off. Although he has bumped into her every day in the past few days, and Yue Su takes the initiative to say hello every time, Ruan Zhenmei is always ignoring her.

His expression was as if Yue Su owed him one hundred thousand taels and hadn't paid back.

As a junior, Yue Su could only endure it. Today was the second day after Ruan Zhenmei received the order. Yue Su felt that he had to go to Ruan Mansion anyway. After discussing with Ao Yue, the two of them prepared various gifts and took a car.

Head to Nguyen Mansion.

The Ruan family has been extremely busy these past two days. There are not enough people at home, and many servants and maids have recently been hired.

Ruan Xiaosi now serves as the housekeeper, responsible for welcoming people and sending them off at the door. While he was busy, he saw a large group of people approaching. From their posture, he knew that they were high officials. The guard of honor arrived outside the door, and a pair of people got out of the car.

The couple were Yue Su and Ruan Aoyue. Ruan Xiaosi hurried forward to greet them and said with a smile on his face: "I would like to say hello to my aunt and young lady."

Ruan Xiaosi also found out how high an official Yue Su was now. Even though the master didn't want to see him, he didn't dare to offend a current man.

Aoyue nodded and said: "I heard that my father will leave Beijing for Jizhen soon. I came here with my husband to see him off today. I don't think I need to inform him when he comes."

"Miss, I have already told you that as soon as Miss comes, I will invite you in. But, Master..." Ruan Xiaosi said with some embarrassment.

"Xiao Si, what happened to my husband?"

"The master said...if it's my aunt who comes...he won't be entertained...just go back to where he came from..."

Ruan Xiaosi finally finished this sentence.
