Shanxi merchants suggested that they hope Yue Su can postpone the trial for two days. If Yue Su still decides to go to trial after two days, they must confess truthfully. txt e-book download "", watch the latest update of this book) See what they have to rely on
Looking frightened, Yue Su expected that there would definitely be a big backer behind the Shanxi merchants. Yue Su also wanted to see who their backer was, so he agreed.
Then, Yue Su ordered a group of prisoners to be imprisoned on the spot in the governor's camp. Liao Fei, Xu Guangda, Liu Zhenyou, and Wen Tiecheng did not need to be imprisoned. The troops and horses in Zhangjiakou were still commanded by Liao Fei. At the same time, the goods of Wang Dengku and other merchants were shipped.
They were all sealed up. They sent people to Taiyuan quickly and sent a letter to Shanxi Governor Liu Ce, asking him to guard all the homes of these Shanxi merchants and not let any of them escape. They also secretly sent a letter to Taiyuan Magistrate Wu Rumeng, telling him to be careful.
Staring at the soldiers and horses brought by Cui Jingrong and Mi Zhihuan, they were temporarily managed by Wu Sinan and camped outside the city without movement.
The number of soldiers and horses brought by these two men can be thousands, especially Cui Jingrong's guards, who are elite. After all, he is also the governor of Xuanda, who manages the border town. Naturally, he has the best soldiers and horses in his hands.
.But soldiers are soldiers, and he had no guts to go against the court. Yue Su asked Wang Yuanhua to accompany Wu Sinan to read out the charges against Cui Jingrong and Mi Zhihuan. After hearing this, the soldiers naturally behaved.
That night, after dinner, Yue Su asked Wu Sinan and Jiang Jie to go to the study to discuss matters.
The three of them sat down in the study, with Yue Su sitting at the top. Jiang Jie and Wu Sinan started. Yue Su said a few polite words at first, and then went straight to the topic.
"Master Wu and Mr. Jiang, they captured the stolen goods of Jin merchants, and also found out the generals of Xuanfu and Datong who were short-term and drank the blood of soldiers. They can be regarded as full merits. But in the end, Jin Liangyu asked me to let him know.
After waiting for another two days, I concluded that the big shot behind them would come forward to intercede for them. But this case involves collaborating with the enemy, which is a crime of annihilation. I will never be lenient. Those Shanxi merchants also have
Those with good eyesight should be able to tell that I will not tolerate them, but looking at their appearance today, they are indeed Chengzhu. It seems that there is an extremely outstanding person behind them. Can you help me guess who it is?
Who is it?" Yue Su first started to introduce the problem, wanting to hear the analysis of these two people, "Master Wu, you speak first."
Let Wu Sinan talk first, it is also Yue Su's investigation of Wu Sinan.
"My lord, the lower official is thinking the same thing as your lord. There must be someone behind the Shanxi merchants. Shanxi merchants dare to sell military supplies. Officials in the capital must take care of them. The power of their backers is definitely not small.&*."". Fastest update*
*If there is anyone who has a great background, the only ones I can think of are the nobles and the father-in-law. However, the possibility of the father-in-law is not high, because these Shanxi merchants had their luck in Zhangjiakou a few years ago.
Military supplies were sold, and the father-in-law entered Beijing only after the death of the late emperor. After excluding the father-in-law, what was left was the nobles, but the official believed that the Shanxi merchants would never expect these nobles to do anything for them.
Please forgive me. Mr. Yue works vigorously and resolutely. Who dares to plead for mercy? Also, noble nobles will never participate in the sale of military supplies. At most, they will only collect their money. For noble nobles, collecting some money is not enough.
Nothing, there is no need to take the risk of interceding with them here and causing trouble. If you have the time to enter the palace, kneel before the emperor and the queen mother, and recite the merits of their ancestors, and you are really ignorant, you will probably spit out your money at most.
If you come out, it will be fine. Therefore, it is unlikely that the nobles of the Shanxi merchants will come out to rescue you. The only ones left are the officials in the capital and the eunuchs in the palace. Your Excellency is the second minister of the cabinet, entrusting the lonely and important ministers to the late emperor.
Given three copper guillotines, he has the right to kill first and then report. Looking at the court, there are really no officials greater than your lord. It is useless to expect any official to come forward. The lower officials think that it is useless. Remove the officials, and finally they will be eunuchs. This case
The case has implicated many eunuchs in charge of the army. Those currently on the case include Xiao Fengzhong, the eunuch in charge of the Xuanfu, and Zhao Yan, the eunuch in charge of Zhangjiakou. Zhao Yan is nothing, but Xiao Fengzhong confessed that he earned a lot of money from selling military supplies.
They all paid filial piety to the eunuch Zhang Yurui and Xiao Fengzhong who were well established in the inner palace. The other eunuchs involved in the case, such as the Datong supervisor, the Henan supervisor, the Shandong supervisor, and the Huguang supervisor, they should also have in the palace.
A certain foundation. Who their foundation is is unknown to the lower officials, but Xiao Fengzhong’s adoptive father is the eunuch in charge of the inner official prison. I think the foundation of other supervisors will not be much different. If the foundation of any supervisor is
Eunuch Zou, the eunuch in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, then..." At the end of the sentence, Wu Sinan shook his head.
Everyone knows Zou Yi's status. The Chief of Ceremonies is in charge of the eunuchs, the eunuchs of the Jiadong Factory are in charge of the eunuchs, and he is favored by the Queen Mother. If he is involved, the case will be really difficult.
After listening to Wu Sinan's analysis, Jiang Jie smiled slightly and said: "Master Wu, you are worrying too much. Even if this case really involves Eunuch Zou, Eunuch Zou will not come forward on behalf of those Shanxi businessmen. This case
The relationship is so big that it is tantamount to rebellion, and the official who is presiding over the trial is Mr. Yue. How dare Eunuch Zou come forward? He is the same as the nobles you just analyzed. At most, he only received money. The nobles all know that this matter cannot be done.
If you want to plead with us adults, you have to go to the palace to cry to the emperor and the queen mother. Eunuch Zou is the one who serves the emperor and the queen mother in the palace, and he will be the first to go to the emperor and the queen mother. He can cry casually.
Spit out the money, and I hope the emperor and the queen mother will not make things difficult for Eunuch Zou anymore."
"Yes...Mr. Jiang is absolutely right. Mr. Sinan thought about it 10%. But where did those Shanxi merchants get the confidence to tell you that waiting for two days would not be just a delaying tactic?"
." Wu Sinan said.
"I guess not. These Shanxi merchants do have something to rely on to have such confidence, but this reliance should not be on a certain official, but on officials of all sizes in the capital. As you said, Shanxi merchants
Selling military supplies, giving gifts to many officials in the capital, and even asking them to do things, such as the death of Chang Zhentan and the loss of Zhangjiakou to protect Tian Xiu, all of which required the intervention of officials in the capital. If the first trial of Jin
Merchants, those Shanxi merchants are bound to bring out all these officials, and the number will not be small. Such a big case, involving so many officials, will not only shock the world, but may also shake the country. It is rare to say this in peacetime.
But at present, the Ming Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, and it really cannot withstand such turmoil. I am afraid that the Shanxi merchants have noticed this and dare to be so calm..." At this point, Jiang Jie paused and then said: "Your Excellency is at court.
Claiming to be ill, he secretly came to Zhangjiakou to handle the case. Zhangjiakou is not far from the capital. However, your Excellency stood up for Mr. Wu in Zhangjiakou and took the governor of Xuanda, Cui Jingrong, the commander-in-chief Mi Zhihuan, and the military supervisor Xiao Fengzhong. It must have been spread.
In one day, it will be spread to the capital. Those officials in the capital who have received benefits from Shanxi merchants will inevitably feel frightened after learning about it. They are afraid that officials who are familiar with you may also be involved. "
Jiang Jie's analysis was impeccable. After combining his and Wu Sinan's analysis, Yue Su nodded slightly and said, "You two analyzed it well. It seems that the intention of the Shanxi merchants is very obvious. They are afraid that the world will fail!" Yue Su said.
Su gritted his teeth, slapped the coffee table next to him, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "I'm tired, go back and rest."
After saying that, Yue Su stood up and walked outside.
Wu Sinan and Jiang Jie had to stand up to accompany each other, and Yue Su returned to the wing where he was staying. For him, if this case was really as Jiang Jie expected, it would be really troublesome. It's not that Yue Su was afraid of being involved.
He was afraid that there would be more officials involved in Yue Suzhong than he thought. The Ming Dynasty was already in turmoil, and it really couldn't withstand such a torment.
Beijing city.
Because the emperor is young, it is rare for officials at all levels to go to court in the morning. It is the same today. They all go to their respective yamen to do what they should do.
But at noon, the city of Beijing suddenly exploded. This was because a piece of news spread from the public and spread throughout the entire city of Beijing at an extremely fast speed.
"Master Yue did not recuperate at the mansion, but went to Zhangjiakou!" "I heard that Master Yue captured Master Cui, the governor of Xuanda, in Zhangjiakou!" "Not only the governor of Xuanda, but also the general soldiers of Xuanfu and Xuanfu's
Supervise the army!" "It seems that a businessman was caught transporting weapons and armor out of the customs. Master Yue seemed to have expected it, and rushed to wait for the rabbit one step ahead!"...
Rumors like these are widely spread in the streets and alleys of Beijing. There is a saying in this world that three people make a tiger. With so many people spreading it from ear to ear, it is inevitable that the spread will become more and more exaggerated. Everyone will use their own imagination, and even
Others say that the reason why the Tatars were able to enter and exit the customs calmly was all because of Cui Jingrong's collaboration with the enemy. Otherwise, how could the Tatars go to Datong when entering the customs and go to Xuanfu when leaving the customs? Both places are the same.
The place under the jurisdiction of Cui Jingrong.
The people were talking a lot, and the officials naturally got the news. When they learned about this matter, it could be said that some people were happy and some were sad. Some petty officials, who were not usually taken seriously, were secretly happy. Such a major case had nothing to do with themselves.
However, there will definitely be no shortage of officials in Beijing who will be implicated. Mr. Yue will act vigorously and resolutely. Once they are all dealt with, there will definitely be a lot of vacancies, and he may be able to fill a good job by then.
Some high-ranking officials, those with authority, are really anxious, and can even be said to be frightened. Some people have received money from Shanxi merchants, and now the Shanxi merchants have been caught for leaving the country to transport military supplies, and the case is being handled.
It's still the same Mr. Yue who can't get in. What should we do now? The Shanxi merchants will definitely take advantage of it and pull others to back them up. It's over, it's over.
Those who had confiscated money from Shanxi merchants were also anxious, such as officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs. Mi Zhihuan would pay filial piety to them every time he paid military pay. You could guess where the money came from. You can guess with your buttocks that this is food.
The empty quota is obtained by drinking the blood of the soldiers. If it were in other places, it would be easier to say, but this is Xuanfu, and the Tatars left the customs through Zhangjiakou. The empty quota and the blood of the soldiers were obtained by drinking the blood of the soldiers, making the soldiers unable to resist, making it easy for the Tatars
After leaving seclusion, you must also be jointly and severally responsible. Mr. Yue has just come back, which can be said to be the new official's three fires. If this fire is used, a large area will be burned to death. What a tragedy!
