Chapter 088 Assisting in handling the case [Fourth update!]
That witness?
The problem with that witness certificate is indeed very big, very big.
After a rough interrogation, Huang Mengyu learned that the man's name was Wang Peng, who was originally an employee of the Gao family. From less than half a year after the official establishment of the highly pragmatic Jinghua Kaiping Coal Mine, until three months ago, he had been working in the Jinghua Kaiping Coal Mine.
Work. Because this person is tough and really has a lot of strength, he was quickly selected into the Kaiping Coal Mine Mine Protection Team.
However, three months ago, he was fined forty taels of silver by the mine for molesting the family members of his co-workers, and he publicly apologized. Since he had signed the deed and had his fingerprints pressed, there was no way to deny the fine, and neither did this guy.
He was so embarrassed that he lost money on the spot - equivalent to working in vain for several months.
However, he refused to apologize and threatened, "I didn't fuck her and I didn't touch her. How can I die by teasing her with a few words?" As a result, Gao Xiaozhuang, who went on an inspection tour, was offended and was summarily expelled. His whereabouts are unknown since then.
But Wang Peng's own statement is different. According to his confession, his molestation of the family members of his co-workers was arranged in advance by Gao Xiaozhuang, the general office of the Kaiping Coal Mine in Beijing. The whole thing was planned by Gao Xiaozhuang in order to remove Wang Peng from the mine.
Reasonable transfer.
As for what he would do after being transferred, Wang Peng himself didn't know at first. He only knew that Gao Xiaozhuang told him, "I will entrust you with important tasks."
As for what the important task was, he said that Gao Xiaozhuang did not tell him at the time, but only promised him, "If you come back safely after the task is completed, I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver, and you will be promoted to the foreman of the area; if you die unfortunately, I will reward you with a reward of two thousand taels of silver and give it to your family."
If you are captured, as long as you keep your mouth shut, you will not be convicted, and you will be promoted to the area foreman after you return, and the silver reward will be increased to two thousand taels."
When Huang Mengyu first heard this, he even felt that the generous reward was indeed a high-ranking view of politics.
But when I think about it carefully, something is wrong - no matter how rich Gao Pragmatic is, he sends out more than 20 servants at one time to kill Feng Bao, and clearly states the price and reward. Is he crazy?
Huang Mengyu is not someone who stays in the palace all year round and knows nothing about the world. He stays in a place like Datong all year round, and he doesn't know a little bit about "jianghu affairs". Who's head is worth a reward of tens of thousands of taels of silver? I'm afraid even Gao Ge Lao,
Once it's on the bounty list of those people in the world, it won't be worth ten thousand taels of silver.
Because people in the world of charlatans seek rewards for killing people, the price is never determined based on the identity of the target, but rather based on the difficulty of killing him, the difficulty of escaping, and the size of the trouble in the future.
As the admiral of Dongchang, Feng Bao was supposed to be difficult to kill. The biggest problem was not that it was difficult to kill, but that the trouble would be even greater after the killing.
First of all, you may not be able to escape on the spot. Secondly, even if you escape at that time, you will still have to face long-term searches by Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and even the military and yamen in various places. It is probably not easy to find someone to do such a dangerous job.
of.
Unless these people are highly pragmatic and long-term warriors, it is impossible for him to be so stupid and to recruit a few mine protection team members from his own servants to do such a big deal.
However, Huang Mengyu's analysis was opposed by most of the big stalls in Dongchang, especially the former Chu Zhiyuan Chu stall, who made it clear that Huang Factory Supervisor's analysis was biased.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Governor, our Dongchang is no better than other yamen. Our code of conduct is that we doubt anyone except the emperor!"
After saying these powerful words, Chu Zhiyuan continued: "Furthermore, when our Dongchang faces any case, as long as the other party is suspected of being involved in the case, then we will get to the bottom of it. We don't need to ask the other party.
Why do you do this? Just ask the other party if they can do it! If they can, then they are the suspects!"
It's better to kill someone wrong than let it go. Huang Mengyu knew this idea very well, and he also knew that a special organization like Dongchang had such an attitude.
But the problem is that he hasn't received the message from Gao Jingshi yet. He doesn't know whether this matter really involves Gao Jingshi. If it does, he has no intention of acting impartially and must be the first to do so.
Shi Shi was trying to find a way to cover up the truth for Gao Pragmatic, so he couldn't follow the ideas of the people in Dongchang - who knows how many of them were not Feng Bao's people?
Fortunately, Huang Mengyu didn't hesitate for long, as news came from outside that the Li Supervisor Bing Bi and the Royal Horse Supervisor Chen Ju, the eunuch in charge, were coming with a group of pure troops.
Huang Mengyu breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Chen Ju must not only be bringing the Jing army here to help, but must also bring high pragmatic news, so he immediately announced a temporary adjournment of the meeting and went to receive Chen Ju.
The so-called pure army refers to an army composed of castrated people. This can be regarded as a unique army of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty claimed to rule the world with filial piety, but as the saying goes, "Unfilial piety is the third, and having no heirs is the greatest." Therefore, the Ming court repeatedly issued orders not to allow people to castrate themselves. Most of the eunuchs used in the Ming court and the prince's mansion came from prisoners captured in the war.
of young children.
However, as time went by, some princes and ministers also used eunuchs privately in their homes, and some people even castrated themselves in order to make a living or to enter the palace. However, these people were all illegal eunuchs, so after being discovered by the court,
Most of them will send them to various military bases.
Since these people were all eunuchs, they were called "Pure Army". In addition, there is another source of "Pure Army", that is, the eunuchs in the palace lost the trust of the emperor and were demoted to the guards to serve as "Pure Army". For example
The great eunuch Shang Ming during the Chenghua period was demoted by the emperor to the Jingjun in Nanjing because he sold his official position and did everything he could.
Although the Pure Army exists everywhere, the two capitals are the most numerous. The number of Pure Army in the capital varies from period to period, and sometimes even reaches tens of thousands. For example, the Eight Thousand Female Ghosts, Eunuch Wei, once committed a shocking act.
40,000 Jingjun. However, the number of Jingjun during the Longqing Dynasty was relatively average. The total number of soldiers around the capital could only be about 3,000, and they were not handed over to the management of the Jingying camp. They were all under the command of the Royal Horse Supervisor.
Due to the special nature of Dongchang, although Chen Ju was also the eunuch of the inner court, he still stayed waiting outside the Yamen of Dongchang until Huang Mengyu personally greeted him.
As soon as the two people met, without even having time to say a polite word, Chen Ju said loudly: "Director Huang, our family is here to assist you in handling the case in accordance with the Queen's decree, the imperial concubine's decree and the emperor's imperial edict. Governor Huang, our family is here to assist you in handling the case."
I have brought you three hundred troops, and also sent troops to blockade the north and south cities of the capital. If the governor needs anything else, you can just say it. The two palaces and the emperor have both confessed that this matter must be investigated.
The truth comes out!"
The oral edict was also an imperial edict. Huang Mengyu first accepted the order and thanked him, then took Chen Ju's hand and seemed to be saying some words of gratitude, but in fact he hurriedly asked: "Speaking of Lao Chen, what is going on in this matter?"
, Gao Guanzheng, did you... uh, did you bring anything to say?"
Chen Ju replied in a low voice but quickly: "Gao Guanzheng said that he suspected that Feng Bao was trying to frame the case. You can investigate with confidence and be sure to investigate thoroughly." Then suddenly he raised his voice: "The two palaces and the emperor have said that this matter
If the Dongchang family can't handle the matter, Jinyiwei or the Sanfa Division can all help... Huangchang Supervisor, you have a very heavy task on your shoulders!"
Huang Mengyu also responded loudly and thoughtfully: "Yes, yes, our family understands. Please ask Mr. Chen to tell the two palaces and the emperor that the ministers will do their best to solve the case as soon as possible!"
