Jiang Shantong and Mou Dazhi want us to follow you after Yang Tinghe falls.
Who allowed you to have the towering tree of Sun Jiao, Minister of the Ministry of Finance, behind you?
Zhu Hao smiled and shook his head: "I submitted my resignation to the court early in the morning. Perhaps this month will be my last month in the officialdom. You will go through fire and water for me? I think it is better to exempt it! Why don't you think about it, now the Yang family
The eldest son is still in Yongping Mansion, go and talk to him, maybe he will help you?"
Jiang Shantong and Mou Dazhi looked at each other.
Now that Zhu Hao has made it clear that he does not want to be tough with Jin Yiwei, it is basically impossible for them to recover the money that Jin Yiwei confiscated.
"I don't have any errands for you to do at the moment. Besides, Jiang Tongzhi, you have just come back. You should take over the storage of summer grain first. I won't bother you with the mine and the case I am about to handle!"
…
…
Jiang Shantong and Mou Dazhi left here not long ago.
Yang Shen brought Xu Jie to the door.
They also heard that Zhu Hao had been appointed as a doctor of the Ministry of Punishment, specifically responsible for investigating the local violations of the law by Jin Yiwei, so they came here specifically for this purpose.
Zhu Hao received them warmly.
Then Yang Shen said to Xu Jie: "Zisheng, why don't you go to the side hall and wait first. I have something to talk to Jingdao here. After I finish talking, you can come in again."
Xu Jie was stunned.
What does this mean?
We obviously came together, but you asked me to wait outside first? Since I am such an eyesore, just don't let me come with you from the beginning. Why bother?
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Brother Zisheng, I mean I can tell you some things, but there are some things I can't let you know for the time being. When it comes to court disputes, it is often better for you to know less. I am not deliberately hiding it from you."
Mr. Mi, please receive Xu Hanlin for me."
Zhu Hao understood what Yang Shen meant.
Yang Shen was afraid that if he came alone to see him, the new doctor of the Ministry of Justice, others would think that he was here to appoint Zhu Hao to do something, so he brought Xu Jie with him, mostly to cover up others' eyes.
Lou Suzhen said politely: "Xu Hanlin, please come this way."
Lou Suzhen and Xu Jie stood together. They were both white-faced scholars. Even in height, Lou Suzhen was taller and taller than Xu Jie. They really felt like an older brother and a younger brother.
"I didn't ask before, when did you accept such a guest?"
Yang Shenxian was interested in Lou Suzhen's identity.
Zhu Hao asked curiously: "Didn't I make it clear to you before? His surname is Mi and his given name is Jingde. He once studied calligraphy and painting with Tang Bohu. His knowledge may be average, but his attainments in poetry and painting are not low."
Yang Shen said: "Then, is it possible that he was placed next to you by Jin Yiwei..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhu Hao reached out and vetoed it.
"Brother Yongxiu, I have never told him some top-secret things... Even if he has studied calligraphy and painting with Tang Bohu, it does not mean that his position is on the side of Jin Yiwei, and I also know that his family has some feud with Jin Yiwei, please
Don’t worry! Besides, what do I have for her to betray?”
Zhu Hao seemed very relieved about Mi Jingde.
Yang Shen thought for a while and realized there was nothing wrong with what he said.
What happened this time is not to say that there was any big deviation on Zhu Hao's side, nor did Zhu Hao leak the inside story. It was entirely because Jin Yiwei had laid a plan in advance, and the civil servant faction accidentally fell into the trap.
But to say how bad the impact of the capture of Yongpingwei commander Li Bor was... the impact on Huairou Bo was not small, but the impact on Yang Tinghe was just that.
At present, the emperor has obtained the evidence that Huairou Bo Shi Zan reported Yang Yanhe, but he did not announce it in the court, which shows that the emperor is still very afraid of Yang Tinghe and the forces behind him.
Yang Shen no longer cared about Lou Suzhen's identity and asked: "What are you going to do next? I mean, regarding the investigation of Jin Yiwei's crimes..."
Zhu Hao shrugged: "We can't investigate deeply, and we can't ignore it. I guess it's just to vigorously punish the local forces that have colluded with the Jin Yiwei."
Yang Shen didn't expect Zhu Hao to be so negative. He probably had the same idea as Jiang Shan and felt that Zhu Hao wanted to take the opportunity to retaliate.
Fujin Yiwei, come out to make some big noise.
Zhu Hao said: "Brother Yongxiu, don't blame me for being timid. In fact, no matter from any angle, I am not qualified to investigate Jin Yiwei. At most, I will just report what I know after closing the case without any concealment, but let me take people there."
I can’t find and interrogate the people who detained Jin Yiwei.”
Yang Shen sighed: "No one asked you to fight against the Jin Yiwei, but if you were afraid from the beginning, the Jin Yiwei would kill you."
"What do they want from me?"
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Whether I continue to be an official or resign and return to my hometown, are they still planning to assassinate me? Or set fire to my house? Isn't that the case?"
Yang Shen shook his head: "It doesn't matter if you are really open-minded, I'm not here to force you, I just want to tell you that if you really want to investigate the matter more seriously, my father will help you, and the manpower I brought can also be used by you at any time.
"
Zhu Hao knew as soon as he heard this that Yang Shen wanted to use him as a spearman again.
Why did Yang Tinghe support him? Yang Tinghe probably said this to Shi Zan, right? Now that something happened, how did Yang Yanhe treat Shi Zan?
Zhu Hao, Jiang Shantong, and Mou Dazhi also worked for Yang Yanhe, but after the Jinyiwei captured them, Yang Tinghe did not show up in the capital, so it can be said that they were out of reach, but Yang Shen was in Yongping Mansion, and he had
Face?
On the contrary, it was Sun Jiao who helped Zhu Hao lobby in the capital and seemed very concerned.
Who doesn’t know how to say nice things?
The key is not what you say, but how you do it!
"By the way, Jingdao, there is one more thing I should make clear to you."
Yang Shen said that he would not force Zhu Hao, so naturally he could not slap himself in the face, so he could only use some indirect tactics. "Before I set off to Yongping Mansion, Sun Butang met me and asked me to tell what happened in the Yongping Mansion Mine."
I don't know what his intention is, and based on what I learned this time, it was Tang Yin who reported the Jin Yiwei, so I'm afraid there is a huge conspiracy behind it."
Zhu Hao said: "So?"
Yang Shen said: "I think it's better for you not to muddle along. The more afraid you are of trouble, the more trouble will come to you. Of course, this is just my advice."
Zhu Hao will not listen to Yang Shen's nonsense.
After the two talked, they went out together and went to the side hall to find Xu Jie.
…
…
When he saw Xu Jie, he was talking passionately with Lou Suzhen.
Xu Jie looked excited, as if he was about to feel his heart out when he met a close friend. The sudden arrival of Zhu Hao and Yang Shen seemed to disturb him from making friends.
"Jingdao, you don't know. Brother Jingde is really talented. He is knowledgeable about the past and the present. I..."
When Xu Jie saw Zhu Hao, he was about to praise Lou Suzhen's knowledge, but suddenly he saw the dark face of Yang Shen standing beside him, and his words stopped abruptly.
Xu Jie suddenly remembered that he and Yang Shen came to talk to Zhu Hao about something.
I have something confidential to discuss, and I don't want him to listen in. Now that the conversation is over, I have something to let him know, and I guess I want him to run errands.
Yang Shen said: "The pig iron recently produced by the Yongpingfu mine will be escorted to the capital by the Jinyiwei. However, Qianhu Lu Song, the Jinyiwei who is in charge of mining, has returned to the capital earlier. Probably because he was afraid that Jingdao would investigate him, he opened the door first.
Come on, this time Zi Sheng and I will return to the capital with this group of people."
"Um."
Xu Jie nodded, indicating that he understood.
He was also complaining.
Is this what you want to say that is not very confidential? If this is really the case, you can just talk to me alone. Why bring me to see Zhu Hao before mentioning it? Is it unnecessary?
Zhu Hao asked: "Brother Yongxiu, when will you set off?"
Yang Shen said: "We will set off in two or three days. Jing said, if you have any shortage of hands, or it is inconvenient to send government officials to do something, just give the order and let my people do it!"
…
…
Zhu Hao sent the two of them out of the government office gate.
On the way back to the inner courtyard, Lou Suzhen asked: "Sir, why is Yang Hanlin looking for you?
Isn’t it because I want to give you a face-to-face advice and ask you to pick the Jin Yiwei’s thorns?”
Zhu Hao nodded: "He hopes that I will make things worse. Anyway, my future in the government is not what he cares about. Now that I have become a member of the Sun Lao faction, he is even more unscrupulous in using me."
"But I don't understand, why would he come in person for such a thing?"
Lou Suzhen is still puzzled.
Zhu Hao stopped.
Lou Suzhen thought it was her words that aroused Zhu Hao's thinking. Zhu Hao suddenly thought of something, pointed in the direction of the backyard and asked: "You didn't let Xu Zisheng see the person inside just now... right?"
It's Zhu San.
Lou Suzhen smiled and shook her head: "Of course not. Her Royal Highness the Princess has always been careful. She knows that her status is not convenient for meeting guests. She is cautious and never does anything bad. I think that the Princess is not willful. After arriving at Yongping Mansion,
I always abide by the rules."
Zhu Hao also felt this.
In the past, Zhu San gave him the impression that he was a unruly, willful and unreasonable little princess, but now he was a little princess.
But when I saw Zhu San again this time, I felt like Zhu San had grown a lot.
It's not just about age, but more about experience. It seems that Zhu San has become more stable and more obedient in front of him.
Whatever she was asked to do, even if she said a few words of dissatisfaction, she never did anything to disrupt Zhu Hao's business.
"It's a pity that Ambassador Luo Zhen has left now. Do we have to let her stay here for another month before returning to Beijing with me?" Zhu Hao was still talking about official business just now, but now he suddenly became worried about Zhu San's affairs.
.
Lou Suzhen reminded: "If the palace doesn't rush to press, I think we can let the princess stay here for a few more days and let her see what's going on outside. Wouldn't it be possible to give up and return to the palace earlier?"
Zhu Hao glared at Lou Suzhen.
It seems to be saying, do you know what it means to be in love for a long time?
I always keep Zhu San by my side, and in the end, Zhu San doesn’t even want to leave.
I am a man with a family, and you let me maintain an unclear relationship with the princess. Even if the emperor trusts me again, aren't you afraid that it will cause me trouble in the future?
"Where is she now?" Zhu Hao asked.
Lou Suzhen said: "I'm just in the room. I've been learning embroidery recently. She said that she studied the Four Books and Five Classics more when she was young and didn't have much contact with girls' families. She also specially asked me to invite a woman with good female skills to teach her.
she."
When Zhu Hao heard this, he was done and he really didn't want to leave.
