Chapter 12 Opinion

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the news brought back by the Jin Yiwei who went to Yunmeng County is the same as what Eunuch Zou just said." Luo Yangxing bowed and replied.

"I didn't expect that there would be such news..." Zhang Yan groaned, with a look of disbelief on her face. After a while, she murmured: "Yue Su is an upright official, and he is honest both in the government and in the public.

He is famous, and I heard he is also called Qingtian. Not counting the corrupt officials he has dealt with, there are countless local tyrants, bullies, and unscrupulous businessmen. Doesn’t he hate those bullies from the fish and meat village the most?

Even his family members can do such things. By the way, do you think he knows about this?"

"This..." Luo Yangxing and Zou Yi looked at each other, and no one dared to speak rashly. Although Luo Yangxing is not very old, he has a reserved personality and is very scheming.

The old fox standing beside me knew that it was best not to say anything at this time.

They didn't say anything, but some people said that at this time, Mrs. Taikang, who was sitting under the Queen Mother, said: "How could you not know? I'm just pretending to be confused. I know people and faces but don't know their hearts. I heard that he

They show favoritism to their father-in-law and leave the matter to the emperor. These people show off their justice on the surface, but are filthy on the inside. They pretend to be benevolent and righteous, deceive the world and steal their reputation. They don't love money openly, but secretly let their family take advantage of them. Huh, how can you not love cats?

It’s fishy. I don’t know how these scoundrels deceived the late emperor, obtained the favor of the emperor, and made him a minister of Tuogu. Fortunately, his father died early and had to go home to Dingyou. Otherwise, in a few years, our Ming Dynasty

It had to be ruined in his hands. And if he hadn’t come home to Ding You, we wouldn’t have known about the dirty things they did at home.”

The old lady hated Yue Su with all her heart. She definitely had no good comments about him, no matter how hard she said it.

Fortunately, Zhang Yan is no different from ordinary women. She has some sense of propriety and cannot be easily influenced by others. She thought for a moment and said, "What evidence did Dongchang and Jinyiwei find?"

"The evidence... has also been found..." Zou Yi was determined to protect Yue Su, but when the Queen Mother asked, he did not dare not say, "Many shops in Yunmeng County have been forcibly occupied by the Yue family through various means.

, some fields outside the city were also plundered. There are witnesses and victims of these, as well as some physical evidence. There is also the magistrate of Yunmeng County, who is said to be Lord Yue's nephew..."

"Haha..." Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan sneered and said, "He actually arranged for his nephew to be an official in his hometown. Damn Yue Su thought of it. It seems that he must have known about it."

The fact that Yue Jinzhong became the magistrate of Yunmeng County was not arranged by Yue Su. If Yue Su had the intention to promote someone, he should at least not be a magistrate. For a mere county magistrate, Master Yue would not even raise his eyebrows. Yue Jinzhong is

He was born in Juren, and it took him many years to get the vacancy of a county magistrate, which happened to be Master Yue's hometown. He was probably not even sure whether he was related to Master Yue or not. Anyway, everyone's surname was Yue, so it was up to him.

"This... I'm not sure..." Zou Yi knew that he couldn't say that Yue Su knew about it, but if he directly said that Yue Su didn't know, he was afraid that the Queen Mother would be suspicious of it, so he could only say this. Saying that he is not sure,

At the very least, I would help Lord Yue to block it. After all, Yue Su is the second assistant of the imperial court and a minister of Tuogu. His family has violated the law. As long as there is no real evidence to prove that he knows, it is not that easy to touch him.

When Luo Yangxing saw what Zou Yi said, he also whispered, "I'm not sure either."

"Yue Su has been an official in the capital these years. It's understandable to say he doesn't know anything about what his family does. It's excusable. But if he pretends not to know, it's hard to say." Zhang Yan said in her heart.

Let's make some calculations. Yue Su was an important minister who was left behind by the late emperor, and he also had some talents. If he was not used, or he was killed, I would really be sorry to the late emperor. But if he was reused, he would think that I, an orphan and a widow, was not a very special person to the court.

We must rely on him. In this way, we still need to use him, but he cannot be beaten more or less like before. Let him know that his rights and status cannot be shaken. If the late emperor can give it to him, we orphans and widowed mothers can still do it.

Take it back.

Having made up her mind, Zhang Yan took it into consideration and said: "Yue Su has always been a leader in the country's laws and enforced the law like a mountain. Now that his family has violated the court's laws, he must give an explanation to the world and those who have suffered. In this way, Zou

Yiyi, you send someone to Yunmeng County to collect all the evidence of the Yue family's illegal activities, and try to find out whether Yue Su knows about it. Don't let any rumors leak about this matter. After you find out, report back to the Ai family as soon as possible.

"

"Old slave, I obey." Zou Yi bowed and said.

"Okay, you guys step back. I'll have a chat with my mother." After Zhang Yan finished speaking, she waved her hand gently.

"Old slave, please retire." "Wei minister, please retire."

Zou Yi and Luo Yangxing left hand in hand. After the two went out, Mrs. Taikang said: "Daughter, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are both top-notch spies in the world. How can the information they found be there?"

Fake, the Yue family's rampage in the countryside must be true, there is no doubt about it. Who would believe that Yue Su didn't know about it? Without his support, the Yue family would not have the courage, and the local officials would just sit back and ignore it.

Yes, he also deliberately arranged for his relatives to serve as officials in his hometown. What he meant was Sima Zhao's intention, and everyone on the street knew it. My daughter, there were outsiders present just now, and my mother couldn't say much. Now it's just you and me, mother and daughter.

Mom, you might as well think about it. He, Yue Su, has never taken our family seriously. Why not take this opportunity to take his head off this time, so as to make your father and your brother angry? Even if you don't want his head,

, at least we have to beat him back to his original shape to see if he dares not to take our family seriously in the future, and let other officials see it and let them know that no matter who dares to offend our Zhang family, they will not

It will end well."

Her mother hates Yue Su. How could Zhang Yan not know this? She expected her mother to say this. But Zhang Yan really has no intention of killing Yue Su, and she has also made up her mind to give Yue Su

Some lessons are that there is no need to take his life. At that moment, she smiled and said: "The child understands what the mother means, and it is true that Yue Su should suffer some hardships. However, Yue Su is the minister who cares for the orphan after all.

If there is no complete evidence, the official position must not be taken away, or even killed. How to deal with it will be decided after the people sent by Zou Yi come back. Then my daughter will make her own decision."

"Daughter, please don't tolerate traitors. I've only been here for a few days, and my mother has already heard that Yue Su is extremely powerful and has many gang members. If these powerful traitors are not eradicated as soon as possible, they will remain in the world.

, it is a disaster for your mother and son. Also, you said that it is not easy to find the evidence. You arrested the Yue family members and tortured them to extract confessions. If you don’t believe them, they will not confess. My daughter, in this matter

Don't be merciful." Mrs. Taikang advised again.

To say that Yue Su was extremely powerful and had many followers was indeed against Empress Dowager Zhang's taboo. This was what she was afraid of. After listening to her mother's words, she felt that it made sense. She hesitated in her heart, and finally said: "Mother is right, my daughter."

I have already made some calculations in my mind, I just want to see what kind of news Dongchang will bring back this time."

"daughter……"

Seeing that her mother wanted to talk more, Zhang Yan casually interrupted her mother's words and said: "Mom, my daughter is a little tired, that's all for today."

"Well, Queen Mother, I will resign now." Mrs. Taikang also knew what was going on. Since her daughter had issued the expulsion order, it was obvious that she had made up her mind and did not want to mention Yue Su's matter anymore. However, she was still very dissatisfied. Regarding her daughter's title,

They were all changed to Queen Mother.

Mrs. Taikang left the Forbidden City and returned to her mansion. During dinner, the family of three ate together. It was rare that her son did not go out to fool around today. During the dinner, Mrs. Taikang told what happened in Cining Palace today.

Once again, when they heard it was about Yue Su, the eyes of the old man and his son lit up.

When the old lady finished speaking, Zhang Zhongxin immediately said: "This is a good opportunity given by God. If we can take this opportunity to get rid of Yue Su, we will be able to avenge ourselves with one stone."

"My mother thought so too, but your sister didn't speak out and revealed her inner plan. God knows if she really wanted to kill Yue Su and make our Zhang family angry." Mrs. Taikang said somewhat unhappy.

"Mom, it doesn't matter if my sister doesn't spit now. As long as the Dongchang side finds evidence that Yue Su violated the law for personal gain, they will ask the censor to read a copy of the book, so that Yue Su can't bear it and walk away." Zhang Zhongxin said.

"That's what I said, but I'm afraid Dongchang can't find any evidence. Yue Su is very powerful in the court, and God knows who is his. What if the people sent come back and say that Yue Su has been in the court without knowing it?

What should we do?" Mrs. Taikang said.

"This..." Zhang Zhongxin hesitated and immediately came up with an idea, "Mom, I have come up with an idea. Why don't I go to Yunmeng County secretly to find out the evidence of Yue Su's favoritism? Then tell my sister and see what she says.

.”

"Pfft... Just you..." After hearing that his son said that he was going to Yunmeng County to collect evidence of Yue Su's favoritism, Zhang Guoji spit out the soup he just drank in his mouth. He still knew how capable his son was.

How can my precious son have such ability when he goes out to investigate undercover?

Seeing his father's disdain for him, Zhang Zhongxin immediately straightened his back and said: "Isn't it just to collect evidence? How big is it, what's so difficult? Is it possible that only he, Yue Su, can do it? In the past, Yue Su always checked others, but today

My son, go and check on him. Even if he really doesn’t know, I’m going to trick him into knowing that he didn’t tell anything, and bending the law for personal gain. Then my father will go to the censor to impeach me, and my sister will nod her head, and I will make him peel off his skin even if he doesn’t die.”

After all, Zhang Zhongxin was just a playboy. If the Queen Mother really wanted to deal with Yue Su, she hinted that Zou Yi would find a way. How could it be so cumbersome? Zhang Zhongxin didn't know what his sister was thinking, so he still thought he was

If he can find the evidence, he can deal with Yue Su. However, one thing is for sure, if he can really find the real evidence, it will at least be enough for Yue Su to drink a pot, and his whole life's reputation will be ruined in one day. He has been in the hearts of the people for many years.

The image established will also be completely destroyed.

Zhang Guoji saw that his son was determined to do this. Although he knew that his son had no ability, he still wanted his son to go out and practice. So he said: "Since you said that, it also shows that my son is very ambitious. Then do what you want and go to Yunmeng."

County, do some secret investigation. But remember, be careful."

"Dad, don't worry."
