After hearing about such a big and shocking accident that might even make him drink a pot, how could Imperial Envoy Fang Da sit in the mansion? He quickly ordered to go down and drive to Gusu Yi to check it out for himself.
No one dared to move at the scene. Fang Yingwu stood at the door and saw a body hanging from the beam. A cold wind blew in, and the body swayed slightly.
Fang Yingwu called him to come forward and put the body down. Fang Yingwu took a closer look and found that it was indeed Mr. Wang Jing.
Imperial Envoy Fang's face turned ashen and he stood by the door without saying a word or moving for a quarter of an hour.
This time really set a precedent! Although the struggle is to win or lose, the prince himself is a man of many evil deeds, a person who breaks bones and sucks marrow. He is dead and there is nothing to sympathize with.
Fang Yingwu understood very well that the death of Wang Gonggong was definitely not without impact, and would definitely make him miserable! When Wang Gonggong was at his wits' end and was desperate, he used this life to drag himself into trouble!
An imperial eunuch sent directly by the emperor to do something was forced to death by another minister. How could this minister avoid the emperor's wrath?
The key point is that it is difficult for me to distance myself from it even if I want to, because I have just submitted a memorial, which contains the content of fierce impeachment of Wang Jing. People who are interested will definitely associate Wang Jing's death with myself, right?
How could Wang Jing think of committing suicide? Fang Yingwu couldn't predict it, let alone understand it. Fang Yingshi could only smile bitterly and said: "Everyone says that the sky is unpredictable, but today we know that human nature is more complex and unpredictable than God's will.
!”
After that, Fang Yingwu called Lu Zhong, the eunuch of Dongchang who had been hiding around him for several months and had only recently appeared.
Eunuch Lu looked at Wang Jing's body and was equally shocked.
Originally, he was just going south this time with the intention of making soy sauce. His immediate boss, the factory manager Wang Zhi, had already told him to do his best to cooperate with Fang Yingwu and leave other things alone, so why would he bother to be a bad person?
Who would have thought that we would encounter such a case? This is really difficult! Not only did Fang Yingwu have to give an explanation, but it would have been better if their Dongchang spies didn't come. Since they appeared here, they also had to give an explanation.
However, looking at Wang Jing's stiff face that could not rest in peace, Eunuch Lu felt like a rabbit dying and a fox grieving for its own kind, and couldn't help but let out a long and gloomy sigh. The other party responded:
"The eunuch profession is going up. It has been a road in Huashan since ancient times, but it has been completely blocked by you. So what if he doesn't die? We are not like you civil servants. If we lose, life will be worse than death. The dangers are not enough for outsiders to understand.
also!
In order to get this lucrative job, Wang Jing must have made enemies in the capital. If he really returns to the capital in despair with nothing to gain, his end will be equally miserable, maybe it is better to die here!"
Feeling that this place was unlucky, Fang Yingwu walked out of the inner courtyard and looked at the people coming and going outside as usual. He couldn't help but think about it for a while.
The news is still confidential. It has not spread, and people outside do not know that Wang Jing has hanged himself. But Fang Yingwu estimates that the news will be leaked sooner or later. I wonder how the people in Jiangnan will react when they hear it?
Thinking of this, Imperial Envoy Fang Da seemed to see countless people beating gongs and drums. They sent a plaque to the Imperial Envoy's residence with the four characters "Eliminating harm for the people".
The eunuch who caused harm to the local area died. The people are really going to be happy, but can they afford the four words "removing harm for the people"? And dare they do it? The deceased was not a local tyrant and evil gentry, but an imperial eunuch.
.
Eunuch Lu also came out and stood next to Fang Yingwu, wanting to hear what Fang Yingwu said. However, Fang Yingwu held it in for a long time, and finally just said: "Now we will only report the death news to the capital, and we will discuss other details later."
Lu Zhong nodded suddenly. This was a good strategy. In fact, to put it another way, it was throwing stones to ask for directions.
Faced with such an unprecedented event, no one knew how the capital would react; besides, Fang Yingwu had been away from the capital for most of the year and was not very aware of the recent trends.
Therefore, Fang Yingwu planned to briefly announce the death and not say anything else, so as to see how the capital reacted.
Then, based on the news in the capital, he would purposefully consider his wording and report the "details" again.
After returning to the mansion from Gusu Station, Fang Yingwu took up pen again and wrote a memorial. Except for the decorative prefixes and suffixes, the main content was only one sentence, "The imperial envoy purchased the eunuch Wang Jing and committed suicide."
Eunuch Lu also felt that this method was sound. After returning, he wrote a secret report to the Dongchang Yamen. He simply wrote, "Wang Jing committed suicide, details to be investigated."
But in the capital, thousands of miles away, the festive atmosphere is gradually getting stronger as the end of the year approaches.
The princes of the imperial court and the people in the yamen are also accustomed to relaxing. Although the holiday is still about a month away, it does not prevent them from enjoying this most relaxing time of the year.
Although there was a big problem last year and the Spring Festival for everyone in the imperial court did not go well at all, but things will not change every year, right?
At this time, the memorial of Fang Yingwu, the imperial envoy who rushed to the south of the Yangtze River to supervise the grain supply, was delivered to the court, bringing the good news of "increased income by one million" and adding a bit of joy and auspiciousness to the end of the year. This is indeed a story worth spreading.
The good news is that at least the full salaries of court officials have been secured next year.
In Fang Yingwu's memorial, he also fiercely impeached the eunuch Wang Jing, which is normal.
Everyone knows that when a eunuch is recruited, he must be like a wolf and a tiger. When someone like Fang Yingwu meets someone like him, it would be strange not to impeach them violently.
However, only one day later, another memorial from Jiangnan Supervisor of Food and Imperial Envoy Fang Yingwu arrived. It was originally inconspicuous among a bunch of memorials, but the content was really exciting - Wang Jing, the eunuch who was purchased by the imperial envoy, committed suicide in a bamboo shoot!
After seeing the memorial with their own eyes, the officials of the General Affairs Department were confused; when the news spread, the six departments of science and education were confused; when the memorial was delivered to the palace, the elders of the cabinet, the rites supervisor, and the eunuchs were confused.
This was a rare event that had never happened in the Ming Dynasty. Everyone was confused and didn't know how to react.
How could an imperial eunuch, who was almost completely unrestrained in the local area and could do whatever he wanted, be so depressed that he committed suicide? Even if the mission did not go well, he would not commit suicide like this. There must be some other reason.
If there was only this memorial reporting Wang Jing's suicide, people might not think too much about it.
But the day before, the Imperial Envoy Minister Fang Yingwu had violently criticized Wang Jing, and the next day Wang Jing hanged himself. If there was no causal connection, only a three-year-old child would believe it...
Could it be said that Fang Yingwu was so strong that he drove the imperial eunuch into despair and no longer wanted to live? This speculation is really incredible. If the protagonist were replaced by someone else, mainstream public opinion would not necessarily believe it.
But if it was Fang Yingwu, many people would be a little bit convinced. It was Fang Qingtian who hated evil and had strong methods.
So what most people think is - believe it or not, it must have been done by Fang Yingwu.
