Jia Heng ordered the guards of the Jinyi Mansion to escort Pan Bingyi and Lu Chengan, the ministers of the Ministry of Industry, to the imperial prison. For a while, Jia Heng did not leave the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.
Instead, he ordered the accompanying Jinyi Palace Chief Ji Yu to punish Qianhu, saying: "Ji Qianhu, seal the account books of the Ministry of Industry's Tuntian Qinggeng Division, Material Appraisal Office, Jie Shenku, and the Imperial Mausoleum, and move them all to Zhenfu." Division, details
Check and compare. "
Rudai only arrests people and interrogates them for confessions, which has limited persuasiveness. The key is to secure physical evidence and documentary evidence.
Of course, he has already obtained the key evidence, but that does not mean that there is no shortage of other evidence. The next step is how to obtain confessions from the arrested people, and then combine the key evidence in his hands.
change:
After a while, a general flag of the Jinyi Mansion came from outside the courtyard, hurriedly entered the Yamen Hall, stood in the official hall, cupped his fists and said: "My lord, Qu Zhenfu has surrounded the Ministry of Internal Affairs and arrested Zhong Luo, the construction director.
Wang, now confronting the guards of the Imperial Household Office led by the Chief Historian of Prince Zhongshun,"
It turned out that after Luo Chengwang, the construction manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, reported to King Zhongshun, Zhou Shun, the chief historian of the palace, felt that the matter was serious and went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs as soon as King Zhongshun entered the palace to meet the emperor.
Ask Luo Chengwang, the doctor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to clean up some of the dirty hands.
But the people from Jinyi Mansion and the inner guard were not slow in their actions.
Jia Heng went to the Ministry of Industry himself, and then sent Qu Lang from Beizhen Fusi to lead people to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrest Luo Chengwang, the Construction Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and others.
Jia Heng frowned and asked: Didn't Qu Zhenfu say it was the Holy Spirit's will? "
Because the Ministry of Internal Affairs involves the royal family, not only can the names of the prisoners be known, but there is also a force of about 3,000 guards stationed in various places, and there are even yamen such as the Armed Forces Academy that manufacture ordnance and armor.
The general flag of the Jinyi Mansion raised his hand and said: "Back to your lord, the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not believe the oral instructions and asked us to come up with the imperial edict, otherwise we will not be allowed to go in and arrest people," 0
Dai Quan listened, frowning.
Jia Heng pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Dai Quan and asked: If the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not obey the order, does Mr. Dai want to take someone with him? "
Having Dai Quan by his side is actually more of an endorsement, because this prison was completely uninvited by the cabinet, and it was quite a direct consequence of the imperial power.
In fact, it is impossible to gain the support of the cabinet and civil servants to build a large prison.
Once handed over to the court officials, they will immediately fall into endless criticism and disputes between "court discussions" and "technical affairs", and then the emperor's accumulated anger will pour out.
To put it bluntly, the imperial power acted unilaterally and alone in establishing the prison.
Dai Quan smiled, his eyes moved, and he said softly: "Zi Yu, since Jinyi Mansion is taking the lead in this case, it would be best for us to go together."
When Jia Heng heard this, he didn't say much. He turned to look at Liu Jixian, a householder of Jinyi Mansion, and said: "Immediately sent guards from Jinyi Mansion to surround Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering or exiting!"
King Zhongshun is the prince of the country and has no special purpose. It is said that it is not easy to break into the mansion secretly, but depending on the intentions of the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Chongping, since the investigation is strict, King Zhongshun cannot stay out of the matter and seals off the mansion first. H
Controlling access is only the first step.
Once the clues are verified, Prince Zhongshun’s palace can be searched!
Dai Quan's expression changed slightly, obviously shocked by Jia Heng's move, but he soon returned to normal.
That might not be a good idea. The Ministry of Internal Affairs wants to retreat, so you surround his loyal and shun palace.
Qu Lang said in a deep voice: "Eunuch Dai, I just heard that King Zhongshun is the prince of the country, and he also leads the ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the chief minister of the palace, and the staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prevent the Jinyi Mansion from arresting the culprits. I
To test, the palace was sealed off first to prevent them from colluding secretly and leaking information! "
"Zi Yu is aware that Prince Zhongshun was not involved in the case?" Du Jing blinked and asked with a half-smile.
Qu Lang smiled and said, "Eunuch Dai, you have never said that before. It will be clear who is in the case before the investigation."
Du Jing nodded and reminded: "Zi Yu, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is guarding eight thousand soldiers. Although there is only one battalion to protect the general office, it is still a huge force. It is best not to cause any trouble."
Qu Lang said in a deep voice: "No problem, the officers and soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all servants of the emperor. If you dare to disobey and rebel, you will be regarded as bullying the emperor!"
"This is true," Du Jing said loudly,
After the seven people finished speaking, they wasted no time and led the team of Jinyifu Litu and Xiaowei to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Ministry of Internal Affairs
The Yamen is far to the right and left of Anshun Gate, but in Yonghefang, eight miles away from Anshun Gate. Behind it is Yonghe Street. one
The light rain washes away all the stains, and the white light shines,
And at this moment, under the street behind the Yamen, groups of Jinyi Mansion guards wearing flying fish uniforms and embroidered spring swords surrounded the Yamen in small groups, and behind the gate of the Internal Affairs Mansion, there were more than a hundred guards wearing armor and holding Yan Fei Dao. Guard pair
stand,
Although the atmosphere between the two sides was extremely tense, they were still giving in with their eyes wide open.
At this moment, the sky is clear, dark clouds are rolling, and there are scattered raindrops in the sky.
Dai Quan, the envoy of the Jinyi Mansion, was riding on his horse, holding the Embroidered Spring Blade on his waist. He looked at the palace guard opposite with his hot eyes above his sword eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "I, the envoy of the Jinyi Mansion, are here to serve. The emperor ordered the arrest of the construction manager q
Yin Wanying and the others - as watchmen, you'd better get out of the way! "
Because, in the official system of the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties, Chen and Han established seventy-seven eunuchs in the inner palace, such as the ministers of ceremony and the royal horsemen, and the seventy-seven eunuchs of the Eighth Shang Dynasty were governed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in charge of the eunuchs and palace men.
In addition, the mining supervisors in Zhu Province went on strike, so there was a need for an yamen to handle the royal property, so as to collect the profits from the mountains, rivers and lakes and support the internal gangs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs naturally came into being:
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has one department and eight departments.
The departments of Kuaiji, Guangchu, Duting, Zhangyi, Construction, Shenxing, and Qingfeng are respectively in charge of royal finance, treasury, security guards, mountain hunting, etiquette, royal estate taxation, engineering, punishment, and animal husbandry.
Nagisa matter,
In addition, the Siyuan is responsible for managing the imperial horses, the Military Academy is responsible for manufacturing and collecting umbrellas, saddles, swords, guns, bows and arrows, etc., and the Fengweiyuan is responsible for managing and repairing the various gardens and Nagisa affairs.
It is worth mentioning that the Osmanthus Bureau under the jurisdiction of Fengtiyuan was contracted by the Jia family. Well, it was not the Guxia family of Jia Jingui.
The guard general of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a middle-aged general in his early eighties, named Yin Wanying. His official rank is a seventh-grade military general. He is no more than eight feet tall, has a short beard on his jaw, has a square face, and has a deep voice. Said: "loyalty"
The prince is dead. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is an important place for the royal family. It contains secrets. No one can enter the Ministry of Internal Affairs without obtaining the imperial decree! "
The so-called imperial edict naturally refers to a written edict document, but it is an oral edict.
Dai Quanchang frowned and pressed the Xiuchun Blade on his waist. He was determined to order the hundreds of guards in brocade robes in front of him to rush back and get someone.
At this moment, in the study room in front of the official office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Zhou Shunzheng, the chief minister of Prince Zhongshun, and Zhou Changshi, the doctor of the construction department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, were talking to each other.
In addition, there were seven other people, Xie Shan, the doctor of Kuaiji Division, and Jia Heng, the doctor of Luo Chengwang, accompanying them. Those people were all the confidants of King Zhongshun.
"Wei Chengye, how long will it take for the prince to come here?" Zhou Changshi asked anxiously,
Wei Chengye's face was solemn and he said: "It's been half an hour since the prince left the palace to face the Holy Spirit. He still hasn't come out yet. The Jinyi Mansion also said that he had received an order to arrest the construction minister, Xiangfu. I'm afraid it's...
Something happened at the window,"
When several people heard this, they were all shocked.
Xie Shan, the doctor of Kuaiji Division, looked bright. He turned to look at Zhou Changshi and asked: "Lao Luo, you have arrived at the prison. What should I say? Is there anything on his mind?"
Zhou Changshi's expression changed, and he hurriedly said: "You don't know, you will implicate others,"
Mr. Luo, who was responsible for the construction of the imperial mausoleum, coordinated with the Ministry of Industry on matters such as expenditures, school planning, etc. He did not prepare the account books successively, just because he was afraid that we would check! The key now is that he, Luo Langzhong, can you escape from the imperial edict and jail?
Can you withstand the torture of Jinyi Mansion? "The heat in Wei Chengye's eyes was like melting ice. He stared at Zhou Changshi and observed his expression:
Zhou Changshi's pupils shrank, and a chill suddenly appeared on his back, and he quickly reassured: "Wei Chengye is worried. Even if Shangguan Rong is released from the imperial edict, even if he dies, he will still be entangled in the prince."
Mr. Luo, the prince will take good care of his two sons’ surviving wives and mother, otherwise the Luo family will lose its incense:” Wei Chengye pondered for a moment, then slowly said,
Hearing this, Zhou Changshi felt a chill in his heart and asked, "What does Wei Chengye mean?"
Wei Chengye sighed and said: Mr. Luo, when we get to that point, I'm afraid I'll just lose a few heads."
Luo Cheng looked at Jia Heng, his doctor, and said wrinkledly: "I'm afraid that Lao Luo Ao will be tortured by the imperial edict."
Wei Chengye nodded, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and said: "So, Mr. Luo, please return to the construction department hall later and take this medicine. In that way, the whole family will be safe and sound, and his wife, eldest, and mother will be safe." ,
You can also have nowhere to go. "
Zhou Changshi felt a chill in his heart, and stood up suddenly, saying: "Wei Chengye, you are not the only one who knows the truth. Unless all the members of the Construction Department are told to shut up, besides, you and others are just grasshoppers under a piece of silk. He bear i
You are serious, if Jinyi Mansion takes Wei Chengye away, will he also commit suicide out of fear of crime? "
When Wei Chengye heard those accusations, his cheeks were swollen and his expression was as dark as the dark clouds gathering in the room, and he said: "I know the truth very well, and I have no way to refute it. Besides, if there is really no
The doctor said that today, if Luo Langzhong is worried about you, you will also commit suicide and cause trouble for the prince! "
Except for the two ministers of the Ministry of Industry, Lu and Pan, but even those two people only knew about the affairs of the Ministry of Industry and knew a lot about the affairs of the prince. Only Zhou Changshi was not the specific person in charge, and they knew too little. few,
If you escape the imperial edict, your whole family will be doomed!
Only if I die can the prince survive in death. At this time, the prince is admitting that he is willing to die, and the excuse is that the people above are colluding. If the emperor thinks of him as the prince's brother, he will be lenient!
Otherwise, the emperor only has one biological brother, so why should he pursue him so hard?
At this moment, Wei Chengye still knew that the two ministers of the Ministry of Industry were also on the list of arrests, because Dai Quan came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pick up people, and did he mention Lu and Pan from the Ministry of Industry? Yin Wanying still overestimated the matter. .
Zhou Changshi stared closely at He Dinghong, his face ashen, and was about to leave. When he turned around, he saw that Jia Heng, Luo Chengwang's doctor, had suddenly stood up. This man had small arms and a round waist, and he was weak. Staring at myself,
Faintly blocking the way.
"They think they can get away with it by forcing you to commit suicide. It's just a wishful thinking! Now that everything has been investigated, the court may end it!" Zhou Changshi also got up and said warmly,
Then he picked up the teapot under the table and threw it at Jia Heng. Then, while he was distracted by Jia Heng's dodge, he ran towards the door.
"Why is that fork necessary?" Wei Chengye said loudly, stretched out his hand to pick up the larger tea cup on the side, dug it in with his head raised, and sighed in his heart. Since Yin was greedy and fearful of death, he could not stop it. Imprisonment
asked,
The one prepared by Hedinghong is right.
At this point, Prince Zhongshun's Mansion has been forced to a dead end.
Immediately, several followers brought by Wei Chengye at the door blocked Zhou Changshi's way. They were all low in stature and looked kind, so they pushed Zhou Changshi to the ground and knelt on his neck.
^Mr. Du, send Mr. Luo off. "Wei Chengye handed the porcelain vase containing the red crown to Luo Chengwang's doctor Jia Heng.
Jia Heng took the porcelain vase and walked towards Zhou Changshi on the spot. The young man who worked with him was really not very successful at that.
"Zhou Shun, he's a son of a bitch! If I'm not a ghost, let him go!" Zhou Changshi struggled violently and cursed angrily, then looked at Heng with his eyes red, and gritted his teeth and said: "
Du, if I kill you, they weren’t the last one! You wait for them up there! "
When Yin Wanying heard this, he paused on his feet, his eyes flashed, he turned to look at Wei Chengye, and said loudly: "Yin Wanying, we are going to send Lao Luo out of the city. As long as the people from Jinyi Mansion are caught, we will do it right away." tight,"
Wei Chengye put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Heng, knowing that he was filled with sorrow for the death of a rabbit or a fox, he frowned and said, "Where else can we hide now?"
Jia Heng said: "In the northwest, there are no people of yours here in Yulin. Besides, there is a war and chaos inside. Where can I find anyone in Jinyi Mansion?"
At that time, the desire to survive prompted Yin Wanying to shout slowly: "Wei Chengye, I'll send you to Yulin. You will take one step back from Shenjing again in your life!"
Wei Chengye's face was clear and determined, he picked up the tea cup,
If Yin Wanying is dead, how will she explain to the court, especially now that she has resentment towards the prince in her heart? When the Jinyi Mansion catches her and interrogates her, most of her will betray him.
However, it was better to kill him in front of a few people at this time. When he raised his eyes, he saw that Xie Shan, the doctor of Kuaiji Division, had a slightly strange expression on his face.
Wei Chengye frowned. If time hadn't been urgent, why would I have come up with such a good idea? It's a pity that the arrow was under the string, and it was shot.
"Send me away from the front office and send me to Yulin immediately." Yin Wanying thought for a while and gave the retinue a look:
The retinue suddenly realized what he was thinking, and escorted Zhou Changshi to the front courtyard.
When Yin Zhen saw this, he sighed and thought to himself, there is no guarantee that he would have killed him somewhere else.
But I have also exhausted all my benevolence and righteousness. Now my family is like a clay Buddha crossing the river, and I cannot protect myself.
Wei Chengye said enthusiastically: "The top priority now is to clean up the mess. No matter what, that matter will be implicated in the prince's head! The blame comes from below. It's the prince's fault. Brother, you can still wait."
There is only one life left, if the Ministry of Internal Affairs is investigated and everything is wiped out, and the prince is deposed as a commoner, your head will also have to be moved! "
At this point, things are so urgent that we can only fight to the death and survive!
It was Ti Yin and Wa Ying who said that Dai Quan was confronting the guards of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Suddenly, there was the sound of horse hoofbeats. Following the sound, he saw white people approaching from the end of Yonghe Street. nearly a hundred
, the leaders were none other than Qu Lang and Yin Wa.
When he saw someone coming, Dai Quan got on his horse and bowed his hands at the roadside and said: "Captain,"
Qu Lang pulled the horse's tying rope, clamped the horse's belly, and drove the horse closer. The black cloak he was wearing was flying in the wind. He looked at Dai Quan and asked: "Why are you withdrawing from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and recruiting people?"
Yin Wan cupped his hands and said, "The guards of the Ministry of Internal Affairs need an imperial edict before they can retreat, and there are no guards to resist the edict."
Du Jing frowned, and when he got closer, he shouted: "Our chamberlain is here, who is the guard general of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Come and talk to me!" "
The general, Yin Wanying, had a struggling expression on his face. He walked slowly closer, clasping his fists and saying, "We are not the general of the Shenxing Department, and the general of the Imperial Household Department of Internal Affairs. Doesn't Eunuch Dai have an imperial edict?"
"Let him go! Does he mean to say that our family is pretending to pass on the imperial edict?" Du Jing snorted and said in a hot voice: "The Holy Spirit ordered us to search the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or get out of the way!" "
"You dare not be a general. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is an important place for the royal family. Prince Zhi Jing has explained that others will have to trespass without getting the decree," said the Secretary of Shenxing, cupping his hands.
Du Jing was also aroused and lost some of his anger. A sharp and feminine voice sounded, and he laughed angrily and said: "It's so loud, it's reversed, it's reversed!"
Qu Lang's face paused slightly, and he said with a warm smile: "I, the Commander-in-Chief in Jinyi, Qu Lang, issued an edict from the Holy Spirit to arrest the Imperial Household Prisoners. If you follow the edict, you are resisting the edict and tantamount to rebellion!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly clamped down on the horse's belly and spurred the horse forward. With lightning speed, the horses and men retreated together and rushed towards the general. The Emperor's Sword slowly stabbed towards the guard general named Shen Xingsi. Neck
Go, the cold light flashes, the sound of horse hooves is chaotic:
"Poof!"
The light of blood suddenly appeared, and the Chief of Shenxing was caught off guard. He groaned in pain, and immediately reached out to cover the bleeding neck of "Tianlei". His pupils narrowed, as if he couldn't believe that Yin was so fierce and happy, and he was frightened. Looks right
for many years,
With a "pop" sound, the body fell to the ground with a sudden flow of blood. Immediately, a pool of bright red blood appeared under the bluestone road.
Yin Wan looked at Ningchang and looked sideways at Niu Niang, secretly thinking that although he was not suspected of being attacked, he still decided to kill decisively.
Yin Zhen held the Emperor's Sword that was still ticking and bleeding. He looked at the guards of the Ministry of Internal Affairs blocking the road and said in a deep voice: "I will count to eight. If you place your weapons and get out of the way, we will kill you." hasty
As soon as these words were spoken, the guards in brocade uniforms shouted in unison, and drew out the Xiuchun Blade with a "swipe", urging the horses, and the original guards in brocade uniforms also gathered around with the Xiuchun Blade.
The guards on the back corridor of the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs suddenly became agitated and couldn't help but move forward. The soldiers looked at each other, obviously shocked.
This was General Wei, a seventh-grade general who was guarding Yushuai's mansion, and he was killed on the spot!
Qu Lang had just shouted, and the guards of the Jinyi Mansion in front of him also shouted "One", the sound was like thunder, and the momentum was astonishing.
There was a "dang" sound, and someone knew who it was. The wild goose feather knife fell to the ground, and one after another came and went. The clang sound was heard. The guards of the Ministry of Internal Affairs held their heads high and opened the way to both sides.
Qu Lang glanced at Dai Quan and shouted: "It's better to retreat and get someone!"
Yin Wan's heart was shaken, and there were two strange blushes on his cheeks, and he whispered: "I obey my command,"
Suddenly, a small group of Jinyi Mansion guards poured into the House of Internal Affairs like a white tide, flooding the outside and inside.
And at that time, the spring rain that had been brewing in the sky for a long time seemed to be finally withstood by the dark clouds. It rose up, raindrops, and rushed out of the general who had fallen in a pool of blood when he was young.
Stained with blood,
Du Jing looked at that scene, taking shelter from the wind and rain, and asked: "Zi Yu, how should our family report to His Majesty later?"
"The General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will comply with the order, and it is a pity to die. Just play it truthfully!" Qu Lang looked at the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was locked in rain and fog with a pale face.
Back then, when the Daiyong Camp was being reorganized, more than one person died!
