At this time, Mao Yizhi finally understood that if he continued to file a case and arrest people for An Xinghou, he would eventually become a scapegoat without a burial place.
"My lord's words woke me up from my dream." Mao Yizhi broke out in cold sweat on his forehead: "I never thought of this before, but my lord is wise and wise."
"You are so smart." Fan Yang said angrily: "When An Xinghou led his troops to the south of the Yangtze River, he did not immediately go to Suzhou for reinforcements, but went directly to Hangzhou City. I knew that something was wrong. The development of the matter was indeed like I did.
As expected." He sighed: "If I hadn't pretended to be sick, I would have been the one to file a case for him and arrest him."
Mao Yizhi thought that from this point of view, I still took the blame for you.
"How can I, a mere governor of Hangzhou, have the strength to fight against him?" Fan Yang sat down and said with a bitter smile: "If I had not obeyed, this head might not still be on my neck now. An Xinghou is indeed ruthless, and the Hangzhou Three
From a big family, he will kill as many as he wants, so naturally he won't care about cutting off more of my head."
Mao Yizhi said cautiously: "Then Sir, today...?"
"If I don't say anything, there will be no good end sooner or later." Fan Yang said slowly: "It's just that I believe that the princess will never sit idly by and ignore it. She knows what An Xinghou did in Hangzhou and will definitely take action. Before that,
I can only avoid it."
Older gingers are more spicy.
Mao Yizhi sighed in his heart, it was really not an accident that this old man could sit in the position of governor.
"Your Excellency, you think Qin Shaoqing is the princess's trump card?" Mao Yizhi said: "I am afraid that Qin Shaoqing is not the opponent of An Xinghou."
Fan Yang pondered for a moment and then said: "I'm not sure who will win this time. But now, we have no other choice but to try our best to help Qin Shaoqing." He raised his hand and stroked his beard and said, "But be careful.
When I think about it, Qin Shaoqing may not have no chance of winning. Less than half a year after entering the capital, this person was promoted several levels and became the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. This kind of favor has never been seen since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. From this,
It can be seen that the saint was very kind to him. Although An Xinghou was the nephew of the saint, he could not consider Qin Xiao's status in the saint's heart."
Mao Yizhi nodded hurriedly and said: "Exactly, it is rare for a saint to be so kind to a minister."
"This Qin Shaoqing is not a good person." Fan Yang chuckled and said: "Of course you know about Mrs. Cheng Guo of Tianchi Mountain in Suzhou. She was placed under house arrest by the saint, and the reason seems to be Qin Shaoqing. Qin Xiao is not only in Beijing, but
He went head-to-head with the Ministry of Punishment and killed several guards of Chengguo Palace with his own hands. No matter the Blood King of the Punishment Bureau or Mrs. Chengguo, which one was not a ruthless character? Qin Shaoqing was so brave that he was not afraid of these two people at all. Then Chengguo
Madam is the saint's biological sister, so since Qin Shaoqing dares to go against Madam Cheng Guo, naturally he won't be afraid of the saint's nephew."
Mao Yizhi's brows widened and he said with a smile: "I have also heard the rumors about Qin Shaoqing, but I just feel that the hearsay may not be true. But since there are such rumors, this Qin Shaoqing is certainly not a soft persimmon."
"Although An Xinghou has the Shence Army Pioneer Battalion in his hands, Qin Shaoqing also has thousands of local warriors brought from Suzhou." Fan Yang said: "Sha Changshi reported that Qin Shaoqing has driven Qi Shen out of the Hangzhou camp.
, the Hangzhou camp is also in the hands of Qin Shaoqing, if we really want to compete, this Qin Shaoqing also has enough capital."
Mao Yi said: "When the Lord says this, the subordinate's heart becomes much more open-minded."
"It's still unclear who will win." Fan Yang sighed: "Our wealth and lives are all placed on Qin Xiao. If he loses this time, we will not end well, so no matter what, we must do whatever it takes.
Please help us." Pointing to the box, he said: "This is the generous gift we have prepared for Qin Xiao. As long as these two boxes are handed over to Qin Xiao, the situation in Hangzhou may be reversed, so what we have to do now is to do whatever it takes.
The price is to keep these two boxes."
Mao Yizhi nodded and said: "My lord, I understand what you mean. But... Now that An Xinghou has woken up and knows that these two boxes will bring him a lot of trouble, I think he must
I will take these two boxes away before Qin Shaoqing."
Fan Yang looked stern and said, "Let's try our best to delay, and we'll see if Qin Shaoqing can arrive in time." He walked to the window, opened it, put his hands behind his back, looked at the green scenery of the courtyard, and murmured: "I just hope that this will happen."
Qin Shaoqing, don’t let Jiangnan down!"
Mao Yizhi was not wrong. In the evening, the men from the Shence Army arrived as scheduled.
Zuo Xuanji, the general of the Shence Army, is a third-rank Yunhui general. Although he is only a third-rank general, his status in commanding the elite soldiers and horses guarding Kyoto is self-evident.
Under General Shence, there are two Zhonglang Generals, namely Huaihua Zhonglang General and Guide Zhonglang General, both of whom are in the fourth rank of military rank.
Qiao Ruixin is one of the generals of Gui De Zhonglang, and he is also the general in the vanguard camp of the Shence Army second only to An Xinghou.
The person who led the team to the Governor's Mansion was Qiao Ruixin.
When Qiao Ruixin, who was also a eunuch and wore a cloth crown, arrived at the Governor's Mansion with hundreds of fully armed Shence officers and soldiers, the sun was setting and it was already evening.
Naturally, Qiao Ruixin would not rush directly into the Governor's Mansion, but would ask someone to inform him first. Soon someone came out and replied: "The Governor is not feeling well and cannot see the guests. Please forgive me. Your Excellency, please wait until your health gets better."
, I will go to see the Marquis in person."
"Young Governor, you don't have to get up." Qiao Ruixin said with a smile: "I was just ordered to pass a few words to Governor Fan. I can just go to the bedside and visit you." This time, he was not polite. He only brought two followers and went directly into the Governor's bed.
The guards of the governor's mansion couldn't stop him, so they hurried over to report.
When Qiao Ruixin saw Fan Yang, Fan Yang was lying on the bed with a haggard look on his face. He was about to get up, but Qiao Ruixin had already stepped forward to stop him and said with a smile: "Don't get up. The Marquis heard that the governor has been ill and ordered me to come and visit. Sir
Are you feeling better?"
Today, Fan Yang personally went to Sun's house in the west of the city to stop the arrest. Of course, the matter had already been reported to An Xinghou. Qiao Ruixin seemed to have no idea that Fan Yang had gotten up at this moment. Fan Yang naturally knew that this guy was acting. Since he was going to act, of course he would come together
He acted and said feebly: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for thinking about me. As I get older, these old bones are becoming less and less useful."
"The Marquis ordered me to send some supplements." Qiao Ruixin motioned to her entourage to place the gift box on the table, waved her hand away, and said with a smile on her face: "Sir, please take care of yourself."
Fan Yang leaned on the bedside and said gratefully: "Thank you for your trouble, Lord Marquis. Please tell the general to tell Lord Marquis that if you feel better, go and see him immediately."
"The Marquis came here to quell the rebellion, and used thunderous means to kill the three great families and make the rebellion in Hangzhou aborted." Qiao Ruixin said: "However, there are quite a few rebellious parties in Hangzhou. These days, the Marquis has been awake day and night.
A large number of chaotic parties emerged."
Fan Yang nodded and said: "With Lord Marquis sitting in charge and Shen Ce's army quelling the chaos, Hangzhou will definitely be safe and sound."
"Sir, the Marquis is a cautious man." Qiao Ruixin sighed: "Some of the arrested prisoners cried out that they were wronged, which made the Marquis very worried. You also know that investigating the rebels and arresting key criminals are all
With the prefect's Yamen coming forward, the Marquis is worried that there will be any flaws in these cases, and that someone has really been wronged, so he is anxious about this." Looking at Fan Yang's eyes, he said: "So the Marquis decided to review the case files.
Personally review it, and if it is found that there is an unjust case, it will definitely be reversed."
Fan Yang remained calm and said: "It should be so."
"Because of this matter, the Marquis has previously invited Chief Shi Shadeyu to discuss it. He originally wanted to go to the prefect Mao Yizhi, but there was no trace of Mao Yizhi." Qiao Ruixin said slowly: "The files of all cases
, are all in the prefect's Yamen, and Master Mao is not there, so it is naturally difficult to transfer those files. The Marquis sent someone to the prefect's Yamen, and I heard that Master Mao had packed those files and sent them to the Governor's Mansion. Now Master Mao also
In the Governor's Mansion, so the Marquis asked me to take Sir Mao and those files back with him after visiting Mr. Lao."
Fan Yang hesitated for a moment and then said: "Is Magistrate Mao over here? I don't know."
"Perhaps the boss is in poor health and the people below didn't report it." Qiao Ruixin said with a smile: "But many people saw Magistrate Mao entering the Governor's Mansion with a box. This is absolutely true and cannot be wrong. Sir
If you don't know, I can just look for him in the Governor's Mansion myself."
Fan Yang knew that he couldn't hide this matter, so he simply said: "Someone seemed to have come to report it before, but I was confused and didn't hear it clearly. It's not strange that Magistrate Mao sent the case file over. I have explained it before.
, the trial of an important case is a matter of life and death, and one cannot be convicted easily. There are too many people involved this time, and Magistrate Mao must be worried that there are loopholes in it, so he sent the case to the governor's office, presumably for verification."
Qiao Ruixin smiled and said: "That's very good. The boss is ill now, so you can't work hard on reviewing the case. It just so happens that the Marquis also attaches great importance to this matter, so he asked me to take the file and Mr. Mao back."
"General, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, this should not be appropriate." Fan Yang said slowly: "The purpose of the Marquis leading the troops is to wipe out the rebels. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the general leading the troops is actually not qualified to intervene.
Regarding criminal cases, even the Marquis is no exception. I know that the Marquis has worked hard to avoid unjust, false, and wrongful convictions, but these matters should be handled by the Governor's Office. Although I am not in good health, I
Both Sha Changshi and Magistrate Mao have the power to review cases, so just let them examine these cases carefully, and do not let these cases delay the Marquis's important affairs."
Qiao Ruixin's expression remained unchanged, she shook her head and said with a smile: "My lord, you are wrong. These cases all involve rebellion against the party, and the Shence Army's suppression of the rebellion. These are also included."
"According to what the general said, the imperial court does not need to have six departments." Fan Yang smiled faintly: "Wouldn't it be better to combine the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs into one? Military affairs and criminal affairs have not been the same thing since ancient times, as have military law and national law.
It's impossible to mix them up." He paused, looked into Qiao Ruixin's eyes and said, "And the imperial court has sent a more suitable candidate to handle the matter of Hangzhou's punishment, so there is no need for the Marquis to worry too much."
