"This is it." The eunuch held a coal lamp in one hand and handed over Ye Yongjia's memorial with the other. "This is from Ye Yongjia, the prefect of Nanjing."
"Give me the lamp." Liu Zhennian heard that it was sent by Ye Yongjia and was anxious to ask for a coal lamp. He leaned against the white wall and looked at it.
"It is indeed a small matter," he looked at it carefully again, "but... Tinglong has always been cautious and shrewd. There may be a deep meaning in this, and we are not aware of it. Hurry, Captain Gui, and Minister Yan, come here!"
"How much do you think Ye Yongjia thinks about?" Gui Fu shook his head, "Obviously he called me my benefactor yesterday, thinking that I could get closer to you, the general, so I wanted to take advantage of it, so what can I say?
General, take a good rest and don't be so tense and disturbed by things like this."
Just as Yan Liang finished reading this essay, he stood up and refuted: "Gui Taiwei, Ye Yongjia is such a villain who is so swayed by people, how can General Liu praise him more? Although I don't know what he means, he doesn't say anything easily.
You will definitely gain something, don't take it lightly. And it won't hinder anything if you reward two or three lackeys. It's better to follow Ye Yongjia's wishes."
"What if he wants to trick us?" Gui Fu said with wide eyes, "How Lu Deguang died and how Wan Heshun was tricked by him, you don't remember, but I remember them all!"
"If we don't believe him, who will we believe!" Yan Liang was also very angry.
"What's the noise? Don't make any noise. Sit down quietly." Liu Zhennian glanced at the two of them and had no choice but to sit down.
"Those who hesitate will be defeated since ancient times. Although I usually don't know strategies, I rarely understand this principle." Liu Zhennian held the sword in his hand and spoke calmly, "It is true that Tinglong and I have enmity, but that is the past. Party struggles are cruel. Who can
There is nothing I can do, I don't expect him to hold a grudge. Now that I have said the word "benefactor", I will believe in his truth! According to the words of Minister Yan, I will report to your majesty so that he can be summoned tomorrow."
"My subordinates should look at it and inform the Yamen." Yan Liang reminded him with his hands folded.
"nature."
After Ye Yongjia received the news that Liu Dang was ready to cooperate, he went back to the study without taking a moment to talk to Jiang Tianjin.
"In this way, we have really eliminated a serious problem..." Ye Yongjia thought and asked him, "Is your inspection department confident?"
Inspector Jiang said: "There are only a few people from Wei Chong in my inspection department. It is not difficult to find them. I just need to show you how to monitor Wei Chong's actions."
"It's best to ask them to take the initiative to monitor without any effort from the two of me. These soldiers are not sincerely surrendering to Wei Chong, but they are wavering. Now the Liu Party is strong. If I go to lobby in person and explain the truth, I won't believe every one of them.
Don't turn!" Ye Yongjia made up his mind as soon as he slapped the table.
Those government officials received Wei Chong's order in the morning, and by night they were already planning to overturn the case tomorrow. They were thinking about which intersection they would pass along the way, who was in the prison, and who they should be wary of... As a result, they didn't think much about it all night.
After sleeping well, as soon as it dawned, he cheered up and went to the Yamen to stand guard.
As soon as these confidants arrived at the door, Ye Yongjia walked towards them with a golden edict in his hand: "Just now, the imperial court has ordered you to go to the palace to face the saint and receive the reward. Don't be negligent, kneel down and go after the imperial edict."
.”
Those people looked at each other in disbelief, kowtowed, and then said to Ye Yongjia: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's heavenly grace is so great that your people are trembling with fear and crying. However, we still have to work hard for Your Majesty. We must not be arrogant and forget our responsibilities.
Once everything is done, you will feel lighter."
"You are very good at speaking on the spot," Ye Yongjia put his hands behind his back and smiled, "but the emperor will not listen to this. This is the holy will. If you are still slow, you will end up like Chen Tong in prison."
"Let us talk to Wei Shu's office about our official business first!" a yamen servant got up and shouted.
Ye Yongjia immediately darkened his face and asked solemnly: "What official business can I report?!"
The few people pursed their lips, each having nothing to say. They all looked at the yelling yamen servant, and then they all became honest.
"Hurry up and go!" Ye Yongjia's eyes were full of perseverance and determination. He didn't turn his attention until they left and headed towards the Inspection Department.
"Jiang Tian, the lower official, greets Mr. Ye!"
Jiang Tian led a group of soldiers to kneel down on one knee and bow to him.
Ye Yongjia quickly helped him up, looked around a few times, then patted his arm and said, "I'm not here today just for small talk, but to talk about things at the Yamen, please sit down in the inspection room."
Jiang Tian pretended to be surprised and coughed several times: "Everyone around you should retreat."
"Wait a minute!" This order was suddenly stopped by Ye Yongjia, "It's better to leave a few people to follow you in and be careful of eavesdropping outside the window."
"That's the truth!" Inspector Jiang hurriedly answered, seemingly randomly naming a few people - all of them Wei Chong's confidants: "Those few, follow Mr. Ye."
"Yes!" They didn't think much, they opened the curtain and walked in, then closed the doors and windows tightly.
"Master Ye is here just to discuss the matter of retracting his confession, right?" Inspector Jiang asked knowingly.
"That's right, Wei Chong thought it was necessary to mobilize these brothers to protect him." Ye Yongjia turned around and smiled at those soldiers.
"What do you care about us?"
Jiang Tian waved his hand, and several soldiers walked out from behind the screen. They quickly stood at the doors, windows, etc., surrounding the confidants and preventing them from moving.
"Do you think that the little interaction you have with Wei Chong on weekdays can escape the eyes of the superior?"
"Please forgive me, please forgive me!" They all knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Jiang Tian and begged for mercy.
"Kow to the magistrate!" Jiang Tian shouted.
"Okay, let's..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ye Yongjia: "There's no need to kowtow. I'm not a person like Wei Chong. I'm just trying to show off my power."
"You must protect our lives!"
"I'm not going to kill you, I'm just going to talk about something slowly," Ye Yongjia took a sip of light tea relaxedly, "Wei Chong is going to jail to interrogate Chen Tong today, and I have to recruit you to protect him to prevent outsiders from learning about him.
Dirty things. I don’t have any requests. I just ask you to keep a close eye on him and record his every move."
"I know that you think Wei Chong is powerful and difficult to deal with, so you bow to him. I can understand it. But at this point, if you are still willing to work for Wei Chong, it is unrealistic to think that you will be rich and powerful one day. He
Wei Chong was originally a
Selfish people treat others with cold eyes, how can they care about your life and death? Besides, you are soldiers in the Inspection Department. This is the territory of Chiang Kai-shek's inspection team. He will never trust you. And those who follow you
Those around him can get some 'gifts'."
As he spoke, he took out the edict: "Look, this morning, those government servants were sent to the palace to enjoy the good life, but they asked you to do hard work for them. Is there such a truth in the world?"
"No, no..." Everyone said in unison, and one of them was completely moved by Ye Yongjia's words, and gradually became angry.
