The Zhang brothers had only been fined and grounded before, but after the fight, they were placed directly under the supervision of factory guards and no one was allowed to enter or exit the mansion.
Due to the special status of the two of them, even if Dongchang and Jinyiwei jointly investigate, it will not be easy. If you want to inquire about the case, you have to notify the Ministry of Punishment. So the Ministry of Punishment sent Yan Yishou, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, with several subordinate officials, and then Admiral Dong
Only after the factory eunuch Huang Jin came forward was he allowed to enter Shouning Hou's Mansion to interrogate the case. In addition to seeing Zhang Heling, Zhang Yanling also had to be summoned to Shouning Hou's Mansion.
"...We have an official statement from the Ministry of Industry. The coal mines originally belonged to us. We sent people to Xishan to take over the coal mines. Unexpectedly, a group of people claiming to be Jin Yiwei came out and took action. Our people were just self-defense. Otherwise, why would we
There are casualties here, but the Jin Yiwei side is unscathed?"
Zhang Yanling is more intelligent than his elder brother on key matters.
Yan Yishou said: "It needs to be noted that there were also injuries on Jinyiwei's side. Fortunately, both parties involved in the case exercised restraint and did not escalate the situation further. Otherwise... hmm."
Originally, Yan Yishou wanted to represent the court and reason with Huang Jin, hoping to put an end to the matter.
But after discovering that the new owner of Dongchang Factory was a kind of unsmiling person who seemed to be deeply scheming and difficult to get in touch with, Yan Yishou could no longer speak for the Zhang brothers.
From a certain point of view, the Zhang brothers are indeed very unpopular. They are the kind of treacherous and evil criminals that civil servants like to take part in when they have nothing to do.
However, the Zhang brothers have been in the government for many years and have been constantly fighting with the civil servants. The civil servants found that apart from their misbehavior, the brothers did not do much damage to the order of the court. Instead, they developed a sense of sympathy that "no fight, no acquaintance". Facing the royal side branches
After inheriting the great unification and repeatedly challenging the old order, a kind of unified mentality towards the outside world was born.
This is also the reason why during the Jiajing Dynasty in history, the Zhang brothers repeatedly committed crimes, causing outrage and resentment, and were finally imprisoned by Emperor Jiajing. However, those civil servants who had impeached them took the initiative to speak for them and insisted on keeping them.
important reason for one's life.
Yan Yishou continued: "Since there is a document issued by the Ministry of Industry, let's take it out."
Immediately, Zhang Heling handed a file to Jin Yiwei on the side, and then handed it over to Yan Yishou.
Yan Yishou frowned after reading it: "This seems to be an official letter from the Admiral Yizhou Mountain Field. At present, Yizhou Mountain Field... has not sent officials to replace the appointment for many years. You..."
When the Yang family father and son handle affairs, they will never give the Zhang family brothers a chance to bite back.
Ministry of Industry official document?
Beautiful thought.
It is said to be from the Ministry of Industry, but in fact it is an official letter from Admiral Yizhou Shanchang, and it is only an official letter for cooperating with coal mines. It is not an official document used to prove the ownership of the coal mine in the traditional sense.
Besides, there is no proof for mining these days. The protection of property rights in Ming Dynasty was limited to fields, houses, people and animals. Coal mines were originally mined privately, so where is the official contract?
Zhang Heling said: "Isn't this the deed to open a coal kiln? When the man named Yang was sent to my house, he made it clear that it was the deed."
Yan Yishou asked curiously: "Who's surnamed Yang?"
"My name is Yang Shen. He is the son of Yang Tinghe, the chief minister of the cabinet. Don't you know him?"
Zhang Heling spoke without restraint and just stabbed it out.
Yan Yishou felt a headache as soon as he heard this. Why did Yang Shen get involved? Could it be that Yang Shen gave them the so-called deed and asked them to send people to make trouble in the mine?
Yan Yishou looked at Huang Jin: "Eunuch Huang, look...?"
Huang Jindao: "The people involved in the fight escaped from the coal mine and sneaked into the capital. They were taken into custody by Shouning Houfu and Jianchanghoufu. Please inform them of their whereabouts so that our family can take people to arrest them and hold them accountable."
.”
"Yep."
Yan Yishou immediately clarified his thoughts.
If we were to think about the Zhang brothers' crimes, we might not be able to come up with a result even after three days and three nights of interrogation. They had fought with each other not only once or twice, but this time they happened to have a tough fight with Jin Yiwei.
By the way, in the past large-scale wars between noble families, the casualties were much more serious than this time. In the end, it was not a big deal, right?
Zhang Heling looked impatient: "I don't know, I don't know where they have gone... I want to arrest them and find them myself!"
Yan Yishou said: "Please make it easier for Hou Ning and Jianchang. You don't want to be implicated in this case, right? Or they are hiding in your other courtyard. Just tell them and someone will come to arrest them."
Zhang Heling was about to get angry, but Zhang Yanling stopped him.
"They want to arrest people, just hand them over!"
Zhang Yanling said, "But in this case, we will not let it go. Even if it is not the deed given by the Ministry of Works, it is because the high officials of the DPRK asked us to beat people. If you want to be held accountable, you have to give Yang the same name."
Going to jail and being held accountable...Oh, by the way, who else was there at that time?"
Zhang Heling said: "There is also a boy named Zhu, who I heard is the number one scholar in the new subject."
Yan Yishou felt even more headache when he heard this.
How come the more involved this is, the more people there are?
Yan Yishou said: "Eunuch Huang, do you want to call Yang and Zhu Hanlin to confront you now?"
Huang Jin said: "Call Zhu Hanlin."
"right."
Yan Yishou thought about it, and it made sense. The persimmons had to be picked on the soft side. It was obviously not possible to call Yang Shen directly. That would be a slap in Yang Tinghe's face. Does he, the Minister of Justice, still want to hang out in the court? Then let Zhu Hao come, and he didn't show up.
The answer is to ask for guilt, but at least confront him face to face and speak clearly.
…
…
Zhu Hao was called to Shouning Hou Mansion.
This was a situation that Zhu Hao had long expected.
When he came to the Hou Mansion again, Zhu Hao actually felt a sense of intimacy after the two brothers from the Zhang family sent people to fight with the Jinyi Guards.
When entering the yard, Zhu Hao thought, this house is really nice. If he knocks down the Zhang brothers later, is he asking for this house to live in?
"That's the boy!"
After Zhang Heling saw Zhu Hao, he gritted his teeth and said.
It seems that Zhu Hao caused him to fall to where he is today.
Zhu Hao first introduced himself to Yan Yishou and Huang Jin, and Yan Yishou also introduced the people present politely.
Yan Yishou said: "Zhu Hanlin, I heard that you went with Yang Hanlin... Yang Yongxiu, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, to Shouning Hou's Mansion, and handed an official letter from the Admiral Yizhou Shanchang to Shouning Hou, and encouraged the two princes.
Will you take back the coal mine that originally belonged to them?"
Zhang Heling said angrily: "That's him. No need to ask. If he doesn't admit it, beat him... and put him in jail."
Zhu Hao looked innocent: "Marquis Shouning, you must be reasonable when you speak. It's true that Brother Yongxiu and I came to deliver official letters at that time, but who asked you to fight with the imperial guards? I and Yang Hanlin are ministers of the Ming Dynasty. How could this happen?
Knowing the law and breaking the law?
"Besides, even if we really mentioned this matter, couldn't Shouning Hou refute it on the spot and take us both down and hand it over to the judge? And he still complied? This...isn't it too unbelievable?"
As soon as this statement came out, not to mention Yan Yishou and others from the Ministry of Punishment, even Zhang Yanling was confused after hearing this.
Yang Shen and Zhu Hao came to you and told you to beat someone, but you really sent them there without considering the consequences? Are you a dog? Throw a bone out, and you rush out?
Zhang Heling was furious: "How dare you deny it? Believe me or not..."
"Marquis Shouning, you must be conscientious in your words and actions. We kindly sent the official letter so that the two marquises can use it as a basis to ask for their coal mines from the court, and even obtain purchase orders from the inner government with coal. This is equivalent to
I sent money to your house. At that time, you were just angry and said that your coal mine was robbed, so you mobilized your troops to beat them... The decision-making power is in your hands, how can you now say that we who sent the official letter are responsible for the crime? "
Although Zhu Hao only spoke one-sided words, the words coming out of his mouth were convincing.
Because what Zhang Heling said was too unbelievable. He said that Zhu Hao and Yang Shen came to the Hou Mansion and instigated him to send people to fight with the Jinyi Guards. Then Shouning Hou Zhen called people from his younger brother's family. The two families combined had hundreds of people.
Go to Jinyiwei's defense area...
Before you bite someone randomly, can you two think about the rationality of the matter? Don't insult other people's intelligence, okay?
"Wow yeah yeah..."
Zhang Heling was so angry that he clenched his fists and rushed towards Zhu Hao.
The Jin Yiwei immediately stepped forward and protected Zhu Haoli on the third and third floors.
Zhu Hao said: "Marquis Shouning, do you want to hit me? I'm just telling the truth. Besides, since you said I instigated you to do it, you should consider the consequences before acting, right? I have already expected it.
Is this the case today?
"Okay, from the very beginning of our relationship, you had planned to put the responsibility on Yang Hanlin and I. That's why you did it now, and you acted so angry... Who would believe it?"
Originally, some people thought that it was impossible for Zhang Heling to frame Zhu Hao casually.
For example, Zhang Yanling.
But after hearing Zhu Hao's words, even Zhang Yanling turned against him.
"Brother, I think this guy is right. You said it was Mr. Yang Ge who instigated you to let us two brothers fight against the Jinyi Guards. Are you not smart enough to just take whatever they say? Or did you think you got it at that time?
With the contract, you have nothing to worry about and send people to my house to summon people to fight with Jin Yiwei?"
Before the trial of this case was over, the Zhang brothers had another conflict.
Just like in the previous arson case, the brothers' feud with each other reappeared before anyone could find out the charges.
To make money, when fighting, brothers work together to make money.
When the spoils are divided or when you are accused, it becomes who do you think you are?
Zhang Heling was furious: "Second brother, are you questioning me? Do you think I will misunderstand you? If you don't believe me, call Yang here and confront him!"
At this point in the trial of the case, even without going to court, Yan Yishou, as the right minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, could see that these two brothers were really no good, and there was no way he could help them even if he wanted to.
Yan Yishou could only look at Huang Jin helplessly and said cautiously: "Eunuch Huang, you think... Why don't we invite Zhu Hanlin to Beizhen Fusi and let the Jin Yiwei people question him?"
Yan Yishou means that now Zhu Hao and Zhang Heling are holding different opinions. If Yang Shen cannot be brought for questioning, it is better for Dongchang or Jinyiwei to take Zhu Hao away. You have too many ways to make people confess.
Already.
As for what Dongchang and Jinyiwei want Zhu Hao to say, it's not you who have the final say?
Huang Jin looked at Yan Yishou, his eyes were sharp, and he asked coldly: "You mean... let the Jin Yiwei use torture to extract Zhu Hanlin's confession?"
"That's not what I meant."
Yan Yishou hurriedly explained.
Huang Jindao: "The evidence in this case is conclusive. Even if someone is really instigating it behind the scenes, the two princes' mansions should be held responsible. There is no doubt! Come on, put the Shouning Houfu and Jianchang Houfu under their names.
Seize them all!"
