Yang Shen called Xu Jie early in the morning and set off for Yongping Prefecture.
Xu Jie was somewhat puzzled: "Didn't you say that some villagers were harassing the mine? Should we investigate on the spot? Logically speaking, the villagers mentioned in the report should be the people around the mine, right?"
Xu Jie is very naive. In his opinion, since mining disrupts local people's livelihood and competes with the people for profits, which leads to conflicts between the mine and the villagers, then the people around the mine should be investigated. There is no need to stay away from the incident.
Is it the city of Yongping Prefecture where it was born?
Shen Shen said: "The water here is too deep, Zi Sheng, you don't understand. Besides, the captured rebels are all imprisoned in the prison cells of the government office. If you don't go to the city, you won't be able to find any clues if you stay here."
Xu Jie thought about it carefully and asked seriously: "Then who is the culprit behind the scenes now? Do you have any clues?"
Yang Shen didn't want to explain to Xu Jie, a *** young man.
In Yang Shen's opinion, Xu Jie's rank is too different from his. Only Zhu Hao's wisdom can rival him, Yang Yongxiu.
After greeting the entourage, without even eating breakfast, the group took a carriage and headed for Yongping Prefecture.
…
…
Before Yang Shen left, he had greeted Zhu Hao, and Zhu Hao said he would leave later.
When Tang Yin and Lu Song returned from the market town at the foot of the mountain, Yang Shen and his party had already set off for more than an hour.
"Leaving? Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't you mean to bring out a batch of pig iron to force him to stay? Why did he go to Fucheng?"
Tang Yin asked casually, his tone was not strong, as if the answer was unimportant.
Zhu Haodao: "Sir, do you choose to stay in the mine or go to Fucheng?"
Since you don't ask for any explanation, I don't bother to reply to you.
Tang Yin looked at Lu Song, nodded and said, "You can go to Fucheng, or you can stay, you decide."
Zhu Hao sighed: "Then I'll see you in Fucheng... You go first. I have some things to deal with. I won't leave until after noon."
"Leaving now?"
It seems that Tang Yin has not spent enough time in the mine. I wonder if it is because the scenery of the market town at the foot of the mountain is so good that Tang Yin never wants to return?
"There are still some things that I will discuss with you after I arrive in Fucheng." Zhu Hao said, "Oh, by the way, the person in charge of reception in Fucheng is Mr. Naomi. His name is Jingde, and he is also a disciple of you."
Tang Yin was speechless.
Just tell me Lou Suzhen. Anyway, there are no outsiders around. She was rescued by Lu Song. Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf in front of Lu Song?
…
…
They set off separately, and it seemed that the people from the three forces didn't bother each other.
In the afternoon of the next day, Zhu Hao returned to Fucheng ahead of Yang Shen after a horse gallop. He quietly entered the government office, pretended to be slightly better from his serious illness, and summoned Jiang Shantong.
Jiang Shantong was very surprised. He had previously written to the capital, telling Zhu Hao that he had not recovered from his illness for many days, and suspected that there was something fishy about it. But in the blink of an eye, Zhu Hao said that he wanted to see him, as if Zhu Hao knew that he was suspicious.
Jiang Shantong was full of confusion and was led by Lou Suzhen to the bedroom where Zhu Hao was recovering from illness.
"Prefect Zhu?"
Jiang Shantong did not dare to go inside anymore because he now believed that Zhu Hao's disease was contagious and was afraid that he would be infected.
"Ahem..."
Zhu Hao's intermittent coughing sounds came from the back room, "Jiang Tongzhi, are you here?"
Jiang Shan listened at the same time and realized that it was really Zhu Hao's voice.
His voice was slightly hoarse, and he seemed to be very ill. Jiang Shantong thought to himself, is he going to die? He looks like a rotten old man, what can he say? He doesn't want to explain his funeral to me, right?
?
"It's the official."
Jiang Shantong still didn't go inside.
Lou Suzhen reminded: "Jiang Tongzhi, if you have anything to do, let's go inside and talk."
Jiang Shantong looked ashamed: "Are you the one who doesn't understand the rules? The magistrate is recuperating inside. I would rather listen to the magistrate's teachings outside... Magistrate Zhu, please speak directly if you have anything to say.
I can hear you."
"Ahem, still
Jiang Tongzhi, you have an official in your heart. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise the official duties of this government office would have been idle! I heard that the imperial court sent people to investigate the local people's harassment of the mines. You are involved in the case, right?"
"Yes. The files are all here in Xiaguan."
"Well, you go and receive the envoys sent by the imperial court on my behalf. One is Tang Yin, who is my mentor. The other one is Shidao Yang. He is also an old friend of me. Ahem, excuse me.
.”
Jiang Shantong thought about it for a while.
Tang Yin and Yang Shen don’t seem to be from the same faction, right?
Do you want me to receive both parties alone?
Lou Suzhen reminded again: "Jiang Tongzhi, did you hear what my Lord said?"
"Oh, I heard it, I heard it. I will definitely do a good job in reception. Please relax and recover in peace."
…
…
Jiang Shantong did not see Zhu Hao, so he followed Lou Suzhen out of the backyard.
Returning to the front lobby, he found Mou Dazhi staring at him with wide eyes.
Jiang Shantong yelled: "Why are you running here when you have nothing to do?"
Mou Dazhi asked: "Don't you ask me to cooperate with Lord Tongzhi to welcome the imperial envoy?"
"The imperial envoys are just a few unrelated court officials." Comrade Jiang Shan said.
Mou Dazhi became more and more confused: "It's hard to say whether Tang Bohu is considered an imperial envoy, but the eldest son of the Yang family, isn't he Jiang Tongzhi's backer?"
Jiang Shantong glared at Mou Dazhi: "My backer is Mr. Yang Ge, and at most the second son of the Yang family. As for the eldest son of the Yang family, I have nothing to do with him. He didn't even pass the letter. He recommended me
?hehe."
Mou Dazhi was very anxious upon hearing this.
Regardless of whether he is the eldest son or the second son of the Yang family, aren't they both Yang family masters?
Why are you, a lackey of the Yang family, so unaware? Even if the eldest son of the Yang family is not your backer, he is still doing things for his father, so why are you so negligent?
"Brother Ge, come with me to receive you...Listen up, let the government office transfer some money to the post house. I've been able to serve you comfortably these two days!" Jiang Shantong ordered.
Monk Mou Dazhi made such a fuss that Monk Zhang Er was confused. Just now he had tried his best to distance himself from the eldest son of the Yang family. Why did he suddenly wake up and go to receive him?
You changed very quickly.
What a tough talk.
…
…
Yang Shen took Xu Jie and hurriedly arrived at Yongping Fucheng earlier than Tang Yin.
Soon after entering the city, I saw Jiang Shantong who had been waiting there for a long time at the post house.
Jiang Shantong came forward with a smile on his face. Unexpectedly, before he could say hello, Yang Shen told him in a cold tone that he was in the banquet hall of the post house.
"Mr. Yang, what are you doing?"
Jiang Shantong was a little nervous when he met Yang Shen for the first time.
Yang Shen said: "What's the current situation in the prefect's Yamen?"
"Well, everything is normal. It's just that Governor Zhu has been ill and has not been out of the government office recently. I have never seen him until today." Comrade Jiang Shan said.
Yang Shen frowned: "Have you seen him?"
"I didn't see him, but I heard him talking through the door."
Jiang Shantong was also afraid that Zhu Hao was really not in the government office and was just looking for someone to pretend to be Zhu Hao. It was best to come up with an excuse first.
As soon as Yang Shen heard this, he classified Jiang Shantong into the category of incompetent people.
Zhu Haoren is in the mine. You actually always thought he was in the government office? Sure enough, the person chosen by the second brother is not good enough. He is such a loser and still wants to work for his father?
"Has Tang Yin arrived?" Yang Shen asked again.
"This... probably hasn't arrived yet."
Jiang Shantong tried his best to tell the truth, but did not know how to expose his shortcomings.
Yang Shen said: "In this case, if you mobilize more manpower for me, it might be of great use."
Jiang Shantong was very unhappy when he heard this.
Who do you think you are?
You just talked to me like this when you came up. I am a co-president of the government. You are just a lecturer in the Imperial Academy. Can you directly rule me? Even if your surname is Yang and you are giving orders for your father, but as soon as you come up, you will
When you ask me for manpower, regardless of where the funds for raising manpower come from, let’s just say that these manpower can be found easily? It doesn’t take time?
"May I ask, what are you going to do with all the manpower?" Jiang Shantong asked.
Yang Shen replied coldly: "Is this also a question you should ask? Also, hand over the criminals who harassed the mine to me. I want to start interrogation immediately!"
Yang Shen was furious: "What is your intention in pushing back and forth like this? I am sent by the imperial court to do official business. Jiang Tongzhi, please cooperate with me in official business, otherwise..."
Wanting to scare him, Yang Shen suddenly realized that the reason why he could order Jiang Shantong was just because he was promoted by his father. In terms of official duties, the Imperial Academy Minister had no power to dispatch local colleagues, even if he
If the court is sent to handle the case, it can only negotiate with local officials and does not have the power to directly issue orders to local officials.
I can’t help being scared!
When Jiang Shantong saw that Yang Shen was angry, he was a little afraid.
If this young and energetic eldest son of the Yang family went to his father to file a complaint against me, even if I was cultivated by his father himself, I might not be able to hang out in the officialdom in the future.
It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain like Yang Yongxiu.
Companion Jiang Shan smiled and said: "Manpower can be raised, but it will take a certain amount of time. By the way, Mr. Yang, you and Magistrate Zhu should be considered the same disciples, right? Why don't you go to the government office to pay a visit today?"
I said this, but I was thinking in my heart, it would be best if the tuberculosis ghost infects you, and you two go to see the King of Hell together!
"No need, just go find someone quickly and hand over the criminal... Oh, by the way, have you found any clear clues now?" Out of caution, Yang Shen still asked, although he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the place.
I can trace it to Jin Yiwei.
Comrade Jiang Shan said: "I found a family named Yue, a big local family. Someone in the family was an official in the court and had contacts with many dignitaries in the court. As for why they did this, it's hard to say. Previously, Magistrate Zhu had never agreed, otherwise he would directly send the Yue family to
The head of the family will find out after he is arrested and tortured."
"Yue's family?"
Yang Shen had never heard of such a big local family. To Yang Shen, it didn't matter who was in the front. Zhu Hao had told him that it was the Jin Yiwei who did it secretly. If Yang Shen didn't doubt Zhu Hao, he wouldn't
I will think about the disputes between the government and the people.
Yang Shen said: "I need weak-boned criminals now. It is best to let him say whatever he wants after being tortured..."
"This this……"
Jiang Shantong said nervously, "Master Yang, is this inappropriate?"
Yang Shen said impatiently: "Are you going to do it or not?"
"Fuck, fuck!"
Jiang Shantong almost stretched out his hand to wipe away the sweat.
People who come from the chief minister's family have a really different style of acting. He directly said in front of the local government officials that he would beat the criminal to death, and he said it so seriously. Don't you know that Ming Dynasty is about law?
