Chongzhen was sitting in the Xinuan Pavilion, looking at the secret report of the Jin Yiwei in his hand.
"Do you think Marquis Dingyuan did this?" Chongzhen put down the secret report and asked calmly.
The fact that Lijiazhai was burned to death really alarmed the emperor.
After all, he was a second-grade civil servant. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the affairs of civil servants were no small matter. It was easy for the emperor to kill a military attache, but it was difficult to kill a seventh-grade county magistrate.
The entire family of a former chief envoy who was ranked second in rank was burned to death. This incident was a major event that shocked the world.
If it were a second-grade military attaché, even a first-grade military attache like Mao Wenlong, he would not have such a big reaction. The shock to the entire civil service system was almost like an eight-magnitude earthquake.
They found out angrily that there were simply no rules in the world. Someone actually dared to destroy such a high-level civil servant clan. Is there still king's law? Is there still law? Isn't this going to change?
Of course, if a second-grade military attache was killed, there wouldn't be such a big reaction. Aren't those Qiu Baye the ones who killed me and I killed you?
From a second-grade military attaché to a deputy general soldier, they are like dogs. When they see a fourth-grade civilian officer, they are ready to kowtow. No one cares whether they die or not.
But this time, the person who died and was exterminated was a second-grade civil servant. This made the civil servants explode the temple. For the first time, they felt that their safety was not guaranteed.
This feeling drives them crazy.
It turns out that they can be beaten, killed, and exterminated just like the ants they oppressed.
It was like when they beat someone, others didn't dare to fight back. But this time, the person being beaten suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed one of the assailant to death.
This makes them unable to accept. Is there justice and justice in this world? How can you ants fight back!!!
Suddenly, documents requesting a thorough investigation flew towards the Qianqing Palace like snowflakes. Chongzhen had no choice but to order the Three Laws Division to conduct a detailed investigation. Officials across Shaanxi hunted for the fugitives.
Unfortunately, most of the people had already run away. They fled into Shanxi that day. After all, it was very close to Shanxi. Then, these mobs crossed the Taihang Mountains and entered Beizhili without stopping, and then went straight to Beitangkou to go to the sea.
.
There were only two unlucky guys. One ran away to gamble and got into trouble. He was found to be a Yi and was arrested. The other was a Japanese who passed by the capital and planned to see the world and see the scenery of the Kingdom of Heaven. He couldn't control it for a while.
He went to a brothel in the capital to have a good time, but was found to be a Japanese who was proficient in Ming Dynasty Mandarin, and was also arrested.
It's hard to hide something like this.
Soon Yang Fan learned that a Japanese pirate was captured by Jin Yiwei, and a Malay was captured by Yang He, the governor of the three sides.
Yang Fan sighed on the train. It seemed that this matter could not be settled without spending a lot of money today.
It is impossible to punish Yang Fan for this kind of thing, there is no way. Because the words of these gangsters cannot be used as evidence. They were like dogs to the Ming Dynasty, but what they said actually bit Dingyuan Hou. Is there anything more ridiculous than this?
.
Yang Fan said, Mo table fell into the water last time he went to sea. His whereabouts are unknown.
If Mo Zui doesn't come back, the two sides can't testify, and the matter can only be left alone. If you want to wait, just wait. Anyway, I don't know whether Mo Zui is dead or alive, and when he will come back.
Although Luo Yangxing wanted to use this incident to draw Yang Fan into trouble, Yang Fan's influence in Jinyiwei made him very unhappy. The key was that His Majesty always used Yang Fan to beat him, making him feel in crisis.
Whether you can do it or not, don't you feel ashamed to see what Dingyuan Hou is doing?
However, he lowered his head and saw out of the corner of his eye the way His Majesty looked at him. He thought about it for a long time and finally said: "If you say that Marquis Dingyuan is responsible for this case, I won't believe it."
"Well, tell me the reason." Chongzhen asked.
"Your Majesty, when the chief envoy retired, Uncle Dingyuan was not born yet. This is really irrelevant. There is no chance that he could offend Dingyuan Hou." Luo Yangxing said helplessly.
Besides, this kind of retired old man has been away from officialdom for more than 20 years, so how could Marquis Dingyuan use him as an onion? If he wants Marquis Dingyuan to target him, he must have the qualifications.
This is something everyone understands.
Chongzhen nodded, he also believed that this matter had nothing to do with Yang Fan.
"However, this matter may have something to do with Zhang Fengxian, the slave of Dingyuan Marquis. Zhang Fengxian was from that place. Later, for unknown reasons, the entire Zhang family was burned to death by bandits, and the village was burned to the ground.
"It's exactly the same as what happened to the Li family this time. And the three hundred acres of paddy fields of the Zhang family have indeed come into the hands of the Li family." Luo Yangxing said carefully.
Because what he is reporting now is not some cat or dog, but the youngest nobleman of the Ming Dynasty, the Marquis of Dingyuan with great military exploits. He is a first-class military attache.
Chongzhen’s eyes are interesting.
It is estimated that nine times out of ten, he is a subordinate, secretly taking revenge on Yang Fan's men. Considering that this guy always gets good things from overseas, he must have some influence overseas.
It makes sense that Mo Zhuo secretly took the pirates to take revenge.
"Don't make any noise about this matter, please step aside first." Chongzhen looked at Luo Yangxing and said.
Luo Yangxing knew that the final outcome of this matter would be to let it go.
Because no one dared to touch Dingyuan Marquis now. This time, 150,000 Jiannu and the Mongol army were beaten to pieces by more than 30,000 Dingyuan Marquis, and they fled all the way back to Liaodong. The Ming Dynasty was shocked.
.
Marquis Dingyuan is so fierce, if you try to stroke his beard, aren't you looking for death?
Donglin can't protect himself now. The immortal chief minister is also the old coffin of the Chu Party.
Since Xiong Tingbi disappeared, the Chu Party has long been in decline.
Who would provoke the Marquis of Dingyuan for this? The other factions also howled loudly, and they were frightened if I really checked. They just had to keep quiet.
Once this kind of thing is done, it is not unreasonable. It requires strength and head-to-head confrontation. Whoever has a big mouth will be right. Whoever has a big fist will be right.
Chongzhen was stupid and went to find Yang Fan's misfortune for the sake of an old immortal.
But his slave is so wild and rebellious, so as the head of the family, he must take responsibility again.
So, he wrote an edict to Yang Fan.
One mentioned this matter. As the highest military attache of the neighboring province, he had to help arrest the criminals who fled to Suiyuan in northern Shaanxi. The other started to tell that after the rebellion in the Beijing camp and the raging slaves,
Jingying has been dilapidated and cannot be used for any purpose.
The emperor's intention is very clear. The capital camp needs to be rebuilt. It's up to you, Aiqing.
Yang Fan received the telegram containing the contents of the edict on the train.
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru were so angry that they scolded Mo Zhui again. Looking at the situation, if they want to block His Majesty's mouth and prevent the Yang family from thinking about this matter, they will have to spend a lot of money.
"Forget it, it was the slaves of the Yang family who caused the trouble after all. Let the Xincheng Arsenal hand over 10,000 second-hand flintlock rifles to His Majesty. Anyway, we have all replaced metal bullet rifles. These old guns are of no use.
Yes. The equipment for Jingying is also good. It is much stronger than their Lumi gun."
