Wen Zheng's car was tied to a wooden stake outside the yamen. Several soldiers stood upright, but they were all wondering why the commander summoned people to discuss matters so early in the morning.
In the past, the commander-in-chief was a person who did not care about anything, and would not necessarily call everyone to discuss matters throughout the year. However, recently, he has repeatedly invited a few colleagues to discuss matters.
Although the Nanzhen Prefecture is far away from here, Wen Zheng was the first to arrive and was already talking to the commander in the flower hall.
After a while, another colleague, Liu Xian, came over with Yang Tao, a minister. Everyone knew that the two of them, Meng Bulijiao and Jiao Buli Meng, had the best relationship in the guardhouse. The two of them were joking and riding horses.
He handed it over to the guards at the door before entering the Beizhen Prefecture.
The last person to come was Chen Rang, a fellow commander and commander. Chen Rang seemed a little distracted and full of worries. When he dismounted, Menzi was a step too slow to lead the horse for him, and he gave him a vicious whip.
Chen Rang's temper is usually pretty good, at least most of the time he doesn't do anything to his subordinates, but today he violated some taboo and made people afraid to get too close.
Chen Rang walked into the town hall without hesitation and walked into the flower hall with ease. Seeing everyone waiting for a long time, he absentmindedly saluted Mou Bin. Seeing Mou Bin's serious look, he couldn't help but said: "Commander!
Sir, I don't know what happened, so you called the brothers here in a hurry?"
Mou Bin had a cold face, snorted, and put the tea cup on the table.
Chen Rang couldn't help but feel angry when he saw that he didn't know who to get angry at. Mou Bin had never been warm to him in the past, but he would never show such a face to him. He was a commander. He was also a commander after all.
Tongzhi, although she is half shorter than him, she is not necessarily afraid of him.
Just as Chen Rang was about to get angry, another commander, Liu Xian, a fellow commander, quickly said: "Brother Chen, something big has happened this time!"
"A big thing?" Chen Rang's heart skipped a beat and he said, "What other big thing could happen? It won't be that Liu Chengfeng again, right?"
Chen Rang lay awake all night last night because of Liu Chengfeng. He is from Dongchang, Xiao Jing is his godfather, and what happened to Liu Chengfeng in the palace yesterday, Chen Rang thinks 80% of the time.
It was his godfather who did it. Originally, this plan was not bad. It would be good to take the opportunity to eradicate Liu Chengfeng. But who knew, Liu Chengfeng did something wrong, and not only escaped, but also
He took a eunuch and left the palace.
Chen Rang was frightened. If this was really done by his godfather, things would not be simple. He might also be implicated. Liu Chengfeng dared to take someone in the palace. What else could he not dare to do?
Since Jane is in the heart of the emperor, even if it is a hundred households, its strength cannot be underestimated.
Chen Rang was originally a suspicious person. Seeing Mou Bin's attitude towards him today, he felt a chill in his heart and thought: "Could it be because of Liu Chengfeng..."
Liu Xian shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The matter happened in Beitongzhou."
Hearing the words Beitongzhou, Chen Rang breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Hasn't Beitongzhou already appointed a new Qianhu? What is it called?"
Mou Bin said coldly: "He is already dead."
"Dead..." Even Chen Rang was shocked.
A few days ago, Deng Tong, a member of the Qianhu family, died. Because of this, the entire Jinyi Guard was shocked. Even Mou Bin personally led a team to investigate. However, just a few days ago, Deng Tong's bones were not cold, but the newly appointed Qianhu family was dead.
Dead again.
"The newly appointed Qianhu died in the main hall of Qianhu this time. I don't know who poisoned him and threw him on the papers. These people are really neat and tidy in doing things, but until now, we still don't know who did it.
." Mou Bin's tone was calm, but everyone knew that every word he said was filled with unconcealable anger.
Mou Bin paused for a moment and continued: "This time, the Zhenfu Secretary has made a big mistake. Before Deng Tong died, he could still cover it up, but now another thousand households have died. For those who don't know, they still think that we Jin Yiwei are easy to bully.
What's even more frightening is that the people who killed Deng Tong and Xin Ren Qianhu have not even been found. These people are really scary..." Mou Bin's lips were trembling and his face was pale. It was not that he was afraid of these people, but in his heart
There was nowhere to vent his anger: "Killing thousands of Jinyiwei households is tantamount to rebellion. Whose courage did they borrow? They had killed Deng Tong before, but this time, they poisoned him in the government hall. Hmph,
It is really too much to deceive others and to deceive others too much."
It's no wonder that Mou Bin lost his position. Whether it was Deng Tong or the newly deceased Qian Hu, they could be regarded as Mou Bin's confidants. The abilities of these two people were also first-class in the entire guard, but they just died like this, or
I don’t know why, if someone dares to kill a thousand households today, why would he not dare to kill a few people tomorrow? Do you understand?
Everyone fell silent.
Mou Bin said calmly: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated eventually, but right now we don't have a clue. The top priority is to see who will be appointed to hold the post of Thousand Households. What do you think?"
Wen Zheng couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face. After two thousand households died in a row, and he wanted to find another thousand households, wasn't it obvious that he was going to die? Who would be willing to go?
But it’s not possible without appointment. What kind of place is Beitongzhou? We must not give up easily! Moreover, the Thousand Household Office in Beitongzhou must have been turned into a mess. Without a leader, this team will collapse sooner or later. Someone must clean it up.
.
When Mou Bin saw that everyone was silent, he said, "There are hundreds of households in Outer South City named Zhu Chen. How about this person?"
Zhu Chen......
Almost no one has heard of him.
But it doesn't matter whether you have heard of it or not. It is precisely because this person has no background and no one favors him that he is suitable. Otherwise, wouldn't it be uncomfortable to let everyone's confidants go?
Chen Rang immediately said: "Okay, let him go."
The others also nodded.
Mou Bin smiled bitterly and said: "We can only treat a dead horse as a living horse. However, the matter in Beitongzhou can only be temporarily stabilized. It is only right to arrest the culprit."
Everyone also nodded.
Mou Bin felt a little frustrated when he saw these people being perfunctory. At this moment, he suddenly thought of Liu Chengfeng. If these Jin Yiwei were all like Liu Chengfeng, even though they would cause a lot of trouble, they would not be punished.
Are people being bullied to this extent?
Mou Bin leaned on the chair. Having been in this position for many years, he had already developed the temperament of being able to remain calm despite the collapse of the mountain. It was just that he was too excited just now, but now when he came back to his senses, he put on another expression.
With an indifferent face, Mou Bin took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I heard that Liu Chengfeng arrested an eunuch from the palace yesterday?"
After hearing this, Chen Rang's face changed slightly and he remained silent.
Yang Tao, the official, said: "That's what happened. For that, the guy even wrote a note and asked me to go to the prison to transfer a few brothers to him and borrow a lot of torture tools. Thinking about it, it's really..." Yang Tao said to him
Wen Zheng smiled and then said: "A person from a hundred households sent a note to ask for something from my prison, which made Yang very embarrassed."
Wen Zheng chuckled and said, "Mr. Yang, please be considerate. Children just don't understand the ways of the world."
Yang Tao shook his head and said: "It's just a joke. Yang is not so small-minded. It is said that he was ordered to try the case. This case seems to have a relatively small background. There is no news in the palace."
After hearing this, Chen Rang's expression became even worse, and he just bit his lip and said nothing.
Mou Bin said calmly: "Send someone to ask him later if he is short of anything. The town government department will provide him with supplies. Okay, everyone has something to do, so let's leave today."
Mou Bin looked tired, and several colleagues and colleagues stood up and said goodbye.
Mou Bin was alone in the flower hall with his hands behind his back, and opened the window. The weather turned gloomy at some point, and everything seemed to be suffocated by dark clouds. The distant sky was gray, and Mou Bin's
His eyes also became sad. He sighed, called a clerk, and said: "Please pay attention to the movement in Dongchang. They are too quiet. Something happened in Beitongzhou. They didn't make any movement at all. Something happened in the palace."
They are still indifferent to such a big matter. I always feel that the eunuch Liu Chengfeng arrested seems to have something to do with Beitongzhou. He may not be uninvolved with Dongchang."
"Sir... Dongchang may not have the guts to kill thousands of members of the army." The clerk was obviously someone whom Mou Bin trusted, and he had no scruples in what he said.
Mou Bin looked back, with a sullen face, and said calmly: "Of course it was not Dongchang who did it, but Dongchang may not know a little bit of the news. They are watching the fire from the other side, sitting back and watching the show. It's a pity that Liu Chengfeng is in the holy family and can't leave the capital.
, otherwise let him go, maybe he can find out something."
The scribe smiled slightly and said: "Student understands, the student will be informed of what the adults have told me."
At the Hundred Households Office in Yanhua Hutong, Liu Chengfeng arrived at the direct room early in the morning. Yesterday, he seconded several people from the prison to torture Li Shun, so he spent the whole night wondering if he had found out.
As soon as he arrived at the Baihu Office, Clerk Wang immediately came to greet him, smiled at Liu Chengfeng and said, "My lord, you are here very early today."
Liu Chengfeng laughed and said, "Scribe Wang is not too late. Why, did Li Shun speak?"
Secretary Wang said sternly: "Last night, Mr. Chen Qi personally sat in charge and worked with several brothers from the prison all night. Li Shun was very stubborn and refused to say anything no matter what. The students were afraid that Li Shun would not be able to bear it. If not,
If he died, wouldn't it be a big deal for the adults? So the student asked Mr. Chen Qi and others to rest for the time being, and asked someone to let Li Shun sleep first. He also asked someone to look at his injuries, but they were all skin injuries.
, it doesn’t matter.”
Liu Chengfeng nodded, feeling quite a headache, and couldn't help cursing: "Those guys from the prison, they still boasted that no one can refuse to open their mouths in front of them, and they also said that this morning, when I get here, I will
There is news. It turns out that he was just bragging, bah... What a prison sentence, it's actually nothing. But then again, this damn eunuch is a bit too tough, and he even stayed up all night without speaking." (To be continued. If you
