Chapter 39 Lord Yue’s methods

"Teacher, what do you mean?" After hearing Yue Su's words, Yang Yishan inevitably became confused and looked at Yue Su in confusion.

"Zhongyue, now you are like this, like this, and so..." Yue Su immediately came up with a brilliant plan.

"My teacher is really great, I will do it now."

Early the next morning, Yue Su went to court as usual. Now when he arrived at the court, he was no longer alone. Fang Congzhe, Qi Shijiao and other members of the three parties were all sitting beside him. On the contrary, his father-in-law Ruan Zhenmei still kept a distance from him.

But today, Ruan Zhenmei's side was empty, and no one came to help him. As a result, Ruan Zhenmei became a loner.

Ruan Zhenmei was very puzzled. Seeing that no one came to sit next to him, he always had the shame to join other officials. However, those officials, seeing him, were like seeing the god of plague, and hurriedly hid far away, as if

The way he treated Yue Su at the beginning was completely different from the scene when he went to Jizhen and all the officials came to see him off.

"Pan Shilang, today this is..." Ruan Zhenmei walked towards Pan Song in great surprise.

"Master Ruan...it's nothing, it's nothing..." Pan Song said, dodging sideways, just not wanting Ruan Zhenmei to get close.

You may say that this posture is nothing, but who would believe it? Ruan Zhenmei thought to herself: "Who have I provoked? Why is everyone keeping a distance from me? Could it be that I have offended someone inadvertently...

Ah, by the way...it must be that when I came back from Ji Town, I didn't pay filial piety to some of the senior officials, because they thought I was living alone. Whatever, I will make up for it after I retire from the imperial court."

It was ringing like this on his side, and soon the Jingyang bell rang, and hundreds of officials went to the Hajj. After standing on both sides, Zhu Carpenter went to the hall and sat behind the dragon case. Wenwushan shouted long live, Zhu Carpenter waved his hand and said excuse him,

Then I heard a eunuch shouting loudly: "I'm going out to play early, I'm going to roll up the curtain and leave the court."

After the voice settled, Pan Song, the Minister of Punishment, was the first to stand up and said: "I have my roots."

Carpenter Zhu glanced at Pan Song and said, "Pan Qing, I wonder what chapter you want to play today?"

"Yesterday when I was on duty under the Ministry of Punishment, a child came with an anonymous report letter, wanting to expose a certain official in the DPRK who had taken bribes illegally and deceived the emperor. However, this official had a complicated background and had a complicated relationship with the powerful people in the DPRK.

I am afraid that Lord Yue will ignore the matter after receiving the letter and will give up. I would like to say it in front of His Majesty and all the civil and military officials. By the way, I would like to ask Lord Yue how he plans to deal with it?" Pan Song said righteously and loudly.

As soon as he finished saying this, the civil and military officials looked at Yue Su in astonishment. Although the officials in the court were dissatisfied with Yue Su, they also knew that Yue Su's temper was not tolerated. Someone exposed a corrupt official, how could he?

Maybe he was indifferent and allowed himself to be free. What kind of "medicine" did Mr. Pan sell in the gourd today?

Of course Zhu Carpenter also knew Yue Su, so he looked at Yue Su and asked: "Yue Qing, is this the case?"

Yue Su went out to report: "Your Majesty, what Master Pan said is true, and it is true. Yesterday when I was on duty, a child was hired to send a letter of report, reporting that a certain official in the DPRK had taken bribes and illegally deceived the Holy Spirit.

Cong. However, anonymous letters often exist. Does it mean that if I haven’t received a report letter, I have to investigate the officials involved? If that is the case, doesn’t it mean that I don’t have to do anything else? Moreover, as long as anonymous letters

, the authenticity of the contents of the letter is difficult to determine, so I believe that it needs to be treated with caution to avoid injustice to Zhongliang."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "What Ai Qing said is right. Such anonymous letters of accusation must be handled carefully to avoid being used by villains. Pan Qing, you also heard what Yue Qing said, and he also

I didn’t say not to deal with it, I just need to treat it with caution.”

Pan Qing quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, you must not be deceived by Mr. Yue. Mr. Yue has always enforced the law vigorously and resolutely, and has no tolerance for criticism. If the person reporting in the letter was someone else, I am afraid that he would have already launched a vigorous investigation. He was just

The person who made the report...haha..."

"What about the person who was reported?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Who it is, please tell Master Yue yourself." After Pan Song finished speaking, he looked at Yue Su.

Yue Su looked very calm and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the authenticity of anonymous reports is always inevitable. If it is a lie, if I tell it in front of the palace, it will be embarrassing and will also cause disadvantages.

The influence. I think it is better to wait until the investigation reveals the clues before naming names."

"What Yue Qing said is reasonable. It is better to wait until the investigation is clear before announcing the name. I also believe that Yue Qing will never cover up any guilty person." Zhu Carpenter nodded and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Pan Song was about to speak again. However, before he could say anything, someone else stood up. "Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Yue said is quite ridiculous. Although it is an anonymous report.

But since someone dares to expose it, it shows half of the credibility. It is better to be in vain than to indulge, especially for those "treacherous" villains. There is no harm in saying it to Mr. Yue's face, let him

The whole court, please help me to look into the details. I think that the officials named will not care too much. Some of them will be punished, and some will be crowned. How can we, the upright people, care about this small gain or loss in reputation. After undergoing a thorough investigation

, if it is a matter, it will make us more upright. Even if the letter refers to a minor official, I am still willing to open my door and accept Mr. Yue's investigation."

This man's words attracted the attention of the civil and military officials of the court. When Yue Su saw the person who said this, his nose almost turned crooked. This person was none other than his father-in-law, Ruan Zhenmei.

Ruan Zhenmei would never have thought that the person in this letter would be herself. She had only been in the court for a few days. Even if she was reported for taking bribes, it would not be her fault. After all, there were several officials in Beijing who did not accept bribes.

Ruan Zhenmei was deeply puzzled by the fact that Pan Song and other officials were isolating her today. She thought that she had received benefits in Ji Town and had not distributed them to them, which was causing dissatisfaction. This time, he took the initiative to stand up and speak for Pan Song in order to ease the situation.

Everyone’s relationship.

Seeing Ruan Zhenmei say this, Pan Song was secretly happy, and his voice grew twice louder, saying: "What Mr. Ruan said is absolutely true, we are aboveboard, even if it is an anonymous report, no matter who is exposed in this letter, we are all

I will open the door and accept Mr. Yue’s thorough investigation!”

"That's right!" At this time, Feng Quan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, also stood up, "As the saying goes, a person who is upright is not afraid of a slanted shadow. Who is the person reported in the anonymous letter? Mr. Yue can tell you. Even if it is me, Feng Quan, I will do whatever it takes.

Let Mr. Yue investigate thoroughly."

Good guy, as soon as he finished saying this, the officials of the Eunuch Party stood up one after another, expressing their hope that Yue Su would reveal the person who was being reported. Even if it was themselves, they would be willing to accept the investigation and not care about the gain or loss of their personal reputation.

.As a result, other officials who do not take the initiative to stand up will be hypocrites who care about personal fame and fortune.

As a result, the voice above the court became even louder, which meant that the members of the three parties remained silent.

Seeing the turbulent public sentiment, Zhu Carpenter seemed to feel that something was wrong. He looked at Yue Su and said, "Yue Qing, do you have any unspeakable reasons for not telling the person reported in the anonymous letter?"

Yue Su bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, I have always enforced the law for the country, regardless of personal gains and losses. How can I have unspeakable difficulties? I just mentioned this person who was reported, for fear of being too implicated and destabilizing the court."

.”

After hearing what Yue Su said, Pan Song, Feng Quan, Wei Guangwei, Gu Bingqian and others all sneered in their hearts. You Yue Su is good at making excuses. What qualifications does an official like your father-in-law have to influence the turmoil of the court? I thought.

It's obvious that it's a cover-up without investigation, so why bother?

Several people exchanged glances, and once Assistant Wei Guangwei stood up and said: "Sir Yue, no matter who is named in this anonymous letter, my cabinet will be the first to stand up and support Mr. Yue in a thorough investigation, even if it is me,

As Master Ruan just said, I will open the door and wait for Master Yue to come in and search."

“Not bad!” “Not bad!”…

The eunuchs immediately spoke in unison and once again stated their views. You said that no matter who is accused, they will willingly accept the investigation.

Seeing such a situation, Yue Su also knew that he was riding a tiger and it was difficult to get off. He bowed and said: "Your Majesty, since all the officials said so, I will take out the anonymous letter."

"My dear, just take it out. No matter who is written in the letter, I will make the decision for you and allow you to investigate thoroughly." Zhu Carpenter said loudly.

"I obey the decree!" Yue Su agreed loudly. After saying this, he reached into his arms and took out the anonymous letter.

Above the court, the eyes of all the officials were focused on Yue Su's hand. When they saw Yue Su take out the anonymous letter and hold it high, many people were stunned.

It turned out that what Yue Su took out and held up was not a letter, but a stack of letters. At this time, Yue Su said loudly: "Long live your Majesty Qi. After I returned to Beijing, I took over the Ministry of Punishment and the Shuntian Mansion. In a few days, I

Over a period of time, I received no less than ten letters of anonymous accusations. Because the involvement was too large and the letters were not signed, I have not dared to make any arbitrary judgments. Now that all my colleagues are so generous and have expressed their willingness to accept the investigation regardless of their personal reputation, then I will

I would like to read out the name of the person who made the report in the letter, and hope that all colleagues will fulfill their previous commitments and accept a thorough investigation!"

After saying that, he took out the papers from the envelope one by one and read this aloud.

"This letter is to report Mr. Feng Quan, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. The letter says that Mr. Feng has accepted bribes, and the amount is huge." "This letter is to report Mr. Pan, the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. The letter says that Mr. Pan has accepted bribes and protected him.

"This letter is to report against Mr. Zhu, the cabinet scholar, for illegally accepting bribes." "This letter is for reporting against Mr. Wei, the second assistant in the cabinet, for illegally accepting bribes and deceiving the emperor." "This is a letter.

A letter..."...

Yue Su read out more than a dozen letters in one go. The names on the letters were all key members of the eunuch party. It was not until the last letter that he read out his father-in-law, Ruan Zhenmei.

All the officials who were named by Yue Su collapsed. Didn't they just shoot themselves in the foot? Just now they were righteous, but now they are fine. The anonymous letter in Yue Su's hand actually has his own name. Was this prepared in advance?

Okay, or did someone actually report it anonymously?

Of course, this was not an anonymous report, but what Yue Su had prepared last night. The last thing he asked Yang Yishan to do was to write more than a dozen anonymous letters in different handwriting styles. If Pan Song was in the court,

If he dared to raise the issue, he would climb along the pole and take it out together. He didn't expect it to happen so quickly, but the eunuchs were so impatient that they stabbed it out in front of the emperor within a day.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I have always been honest, upright and law-abiding. I will never accept bribes. I hope your Majesty will be aware of this." Pan Song was so frightened that he was the first to kneel to the ground.

The other officials were not much slower than him. Feng Quan, Wei Guangwei, Ruan Zhenmei and others fell to their knees one after another, shouting that they were wronged.
