"This is it." The eunuch held a coal lamp in one hand and handed over Ye Yongjia's memorial with the other hand. "This is sent by Ye Yongjia, the prefect of Nanjing."
"Give me the lamp." When Liu Zhennian heard that it was from Ye Yongjia, he was anxious to ask for a coal lamp and leaned against the white wall to look at it.
"It is indeed a small matter," he looked at it carefully again, "but... Tinglong has always been cautious and shrewd. There may be a deep meaning in this, and we are not aware of it. Hurry up, Captain Gui and Minister Yan, and come here!"
"How much do you think Ye Yongjia thinks about?" Gui Fu shook his head, "Obviously he called me my benefactor yesterday, thinking I could get closer to you, the general, so I wanted to take advantage of it, so what can I say! General, take a good rest and don't be so tense and disturbed by things like this."
Just as Yan Liang finished reading this essay, he stood up and refuted: "Captain Gui, Ye Yongjia is such a villain who is so swayed by people, how can General Liu praise him so much? Although I don't know what he means, he doesn't say anything easily. You will definitely gain something, don't take it lightly. And it won't hinder anything if you reward two or three lackeys. It's better to follow Ye Yongjia's wishes."
"What if he wants to trick us?" Gui Fu said with wide eyes, "How Lu Deguang died and how Wan Heshun was tricked by him, you don't remember, I remember them all!"
"If we don't believe him, who will we believe?" Yan Liang was also very angry.
"What's the noise? Don't make any noise. Sit down quietly." Liu Zhennian glanced at the two of them and had to sit down.
"Those who hesitate will be defeated since ancient times. Although I usually don't know strategies, I rarely understand this principle." Liu Zhennian held the sword in his hand and spoke calmly, "It is true that Tinglong and I have enmity, but that is the past. Party struggles are cruel. Who can There is nothing I can do, I don't expect him to hold a grudge. Now that I have said the word "Benefactor", I will believe his truth! According to the words of Minister Yan, I will report to Your Majesty so that he can be summoned tomorrow."
"Subordinates, please take a look and inform the Yamen." Yan Liang reminded him with his hands folded.
"nature."
After Ye Yongjia received the news that Liu Dang was ready to cooperate, he went back to the study without taking a moment to talk to Jiang Tianjin.
"In this way, we have really eliminated a serious problem..." Ye Yongjia thought and asked him, "Is your inspection department sure?"
Inspector Jiang said: "There are only a few people from Wei Chong in my inspection department, so it is not difficult to find them. I just need to show you how to monitor Wei Chong's actions."
"It's best to ask them to take the initiative to monitor without any effort from the two of me. These soldiers are not sincerely surrendering to Wei Chong, but they are wavering. Now the Liu Party is powerful. If I go to lobby in person and explain the truth, I won't believe every one of them. Don't turn!" Ye Yongjia made up his mind as soon as he slapped the table.
Those government officials received Wei Chong's order in the morning, and by night they were already planning to overturn the case tomorrow. They were thinking about which intersection they would pass along the way, who was in the prison, and who they should be wary of... As a result, they didn't think much about it all night. After sleeping well, as soon as it dawned, he cheered up and went to the Yamen to stand guard.
As soon as these confidants arrived at the door, Ye Yongjia walked towards them with a golden edict in his hand: "Just now, the imperial court has ordered you to go to the palace to face the saint and receive the reward. Don't be negligent, kneel down and go before the imperial edict. .”
Those few people looked at each other in disbelief, kowtowed, and then said to Ye Yongjia: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's heavenly grace is so great that your people are trembling with fear and crying. However, we still have to work hard for Your Majesty. We must not be arrogant and forget our responsibilities. Once everything is over, you will feel lighter."
"You are very good at speaking on the spot," Ye Yongjia put his hands behind his back and smiled, "but the emperor will not listen to this. This is the holy will. If you are still slow, you will end up like Chen Tong in prison."
"Let us talk to Wei Shu's office about our business first!" A yamen servant got up and shouted.
Ye Yongjia's face darkened immediately and he asked solemnly: "What official business can I report?!"
The few people pursed their lips, and each had nothing to say. They all looked at the yelling yamen servant, and then they all became honest.
"Hurry up and go!" Ye Yongjia's eyes were full of perseverance and determination. He didn't shift his gaze towards the Inspection Department until they left.
"Jiang Tian, the lower official, welcomes Mr. Ye!"
Jiang Tian led a group of soldiers to kneel down on one knee and bow to him.
Ye Yongjia quickly helped him up, looked around a few times, then patted his arm and said, "I'm not here today just for chatting, but to talk about things at the yamen, please sit down in the inspection room."
Jiang Tian pretended to be surprised and coughed several times: "Everyone around you should retreat."
"Wait a minute!" This order was suddenly stopped by Ye Yongjia, "It's better to leave a few people to follow you in and be careful of eavesdropping outside the window."
"That's the truth!" Inspector Jiang hurriedly answered, seemingly randomly naming a few people - all of them Wei Chong's confidants: "Those few, follow Mr. Ye."
"Yes!" Without thinking much, they opened the curtain and entered, then closed the doors and windows tightly.
"Master Ye is here just to discuss the matter of retracting Chen's confession, right?" Inspector Jiang asked knowingly.
"That's right, Wei Chong thought it was necessary to mobilize these brothers to protect him." Ye Yongjia turned around and smiled at the soldiers.
"What do you care about us?"
Jiang Tian waved his hand, and several soldiers walked out from behind the screen. They quickly stood at the doors, windows and other places, surrounding the confidants and preventing them from moving.
"Do you think your usual interactions with Wei Chong can escape the superior's eyes?"
"Please forgive me, please forgive me!" They all knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Jiang Tian and begged for mercy.
"Kow to the magistrate!" Jiang Tian shouted.
"Okay, let's..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ye Yongjia: "There's no need to kowtow. I'm not a person like Wei Chong. I'm just trying to show off my power."
"You must protect our lives!"
"I'm not going to kill you, I'm just going to talk about something slowly." Ye Yongjia took a sip of light tea relaxedly, "Wei Chong is going to jail to interrogate Chen Tong today, and I have to recruit you to protect him to prevent outsiders from learning about him. Dirty things. I don’t have any requirements. I just ask you to keep a close eye on him and record his every move."
"I know that you think Wei Chong is powerful and difficult to deal with, so you bow to him. I can understand it. But at this point, if you are still willing to work for Wei Chong, it is unrealistic to think that you will be rich and powerful one day. He Wei Chong is a selfish person. He treats others with cold eyes. How can he care about your life and death? Besides, you are soldiers in the Inspection Department. This is Chiang's inspection territory. He will never trust you. But those who follow him can get some 'gifts'."
As he spoke, he took out the edict: "Look, this morning, those government servants were sent to the palace to enjoy the good life, but they asked you to do hard work for them. Is there such a truth in the world!"
"No, no..." Everyone said in unison, and one of them was completely moved by Ye Yongjia's words, and gradually became angry.
