I nodded and said: "We can talk about this later. Since the affairs are complicated, let's not rest today. Let's go back to the Zhenfu Division together. After all, we are responsible for that. As the saying goes, there are three things to do when a new official takes office. I I am a blunt person to begin with, I need to get used to it slowly, and start doing things now." Ning Boyang and Hardy couldn't help laughing, but they didn't move. I pretended to be angry and said, "What? Mr. Qianhu said, you don't Do you listen?"
Ning Boyang and Hardy responded, looked at each other, suppressed their laughter, but still didn't move. I stepped forward and beat them twice. The three of them laughed, and then they simply cleaned up and led them out. Manager Hu saw us off at the door and said, "Master, are you going back too? You've just come back!" I nodded and said, "Today there are more things to do in the Zhenfu Division. We still have to deal with them. I'll leave the affairs in the government to you." You come and take care of it!" Manager Hu responded, bowing and saluting.
The three of us got on our horses and went straight to Zhenfusi. In less than half an hour, we had rushed back to Zhenfusi. Instead of taking the main entrance, I still took the corner entrance. In the past, there were always some family members of prisoners waiting here for news, but now there is no one there. Liao Jianzhong's rectification of the imperial prison was quite effective. Looking at the familiar courtyard, I couldn't help but think of Xiang Chong, but it was a pity that he would never have another chance. Although there were no outsiders, they saw the corner door wide open and a wooden cage prison car driving slowly. The car was covered with black cloth. The leader of the escort was Lou Xian, who had just been promoted to a hundred households. I was surprised. It had been three days since I took over Beizhen Fusi, and I had already started to deal with some things. This Lou Xian belongs to me, but I don’t know who he is going to arrest?
I followed silently and went straight into the Zhenfu Department. After getting off the horse, Lou Xian saw me. He came over quickly and saluted: "Master Qianhu, Lou Xian was ordered by Commander Shi to arrest all Yang Hong's family members and send them to prison. Because the matter was urgent, I did not report it to you. !”
Commander Shi was personally promoted by Liu Jin. Although he appeared to be very charitable, people who knew him called him the "Smiling Tiger". What shocked me even more was that Commander Shi actually arrested Yang Hong's family members and sent them to prison.
I smiled and said, "Brother has just taken over the mission, and we haven't spoken directly to Lou Baihu yet. Besides, we must complete the things arranged by Commander Shi. How many people have been arrested?"
Lou Xian said: "Yang Hong's wife, and his two children." I remembered that Yang Hong's family had an old mother, so I asked quickly, and Lou Xian lowered his voice and said, "Yang Hong's mother has been dead for many days, and all his family's belongings are in Enter the public domain. Hey, there’s nothing!”
As he said that, he handed me the documents that had been confiscated. I took a few glances and found that they were all books and old furniture, with no money at all. I sighed unconsciously: "It seems that this person is not a corrupt official!"
Lou Xian nodded and said: "His mother passed away, and she didn't even have a decent coffin. So the neighbors took out some door panels to help with the mourning. What kind of evil did this gentleman fall into? How could he be a small official like sesame seeds?" It’s time to worry about important court affairs!”
It was the first time I talked to Lou Xian like this together. I felt that he was still somewhat upright. Thinking about the mixed situation here, I stopped and said: "These things are beyond our control. Stop talking about it. Since they are a family, find someone." Decent cells, let’s circle them together!” Lou Xian hurriedly responded and immediately went to make arrangements.
Lu Song didn't know when he came over, so he cupped his hands and said: "Master Qianhu, Commander Shi wants you to go to the hall to meet him!"
I hurriedly asked Ning Boyang and Hardy to go elsewhere, and I hurriedly went to the lobby, only to see Gu Dachun and Shi Yi talking and laughing. Just as I was about to salute, Shi Yi said with a smile: "They are all from our own family. Avoid those clichés." He was born with a thin face, and his face was full of wrinkles when he smiled. I have always admired the nickname others gave him: Smiling Tiger!
Shi Yidao: "I thought you were resting at home today. I just heard you talking outside, so I asked Lu Song to call you up. What? Are you okay? Or did you hear something?" The implication is that I heard that he came to Beizhen. Fusi is here. I hurriedly said: "Eunuch Lin of Dongchang is recuperating in the town care department, so I came over to take a look. I don't want you to be here too!"
Shi Yi nodded and said: "I just saw him and he is recovering well from his injuries. It's just a little noisy here. I think we should place Eunuch Lin in the imperial prison."
I was startled and said: "Master Commander, that is a place where prisoners are imprisoned. Eunuch Lin is a big shot. Isn't it appropriate to do this?" Shi Yi interrupted me and said: "It's actually quieter there because the walls are high. And Hou, the security is tight, Eunuch Lin proposed it himself."
I was doubtful in my heart, but I agreed. Shi Yi smiled and said, "The prisoners in the imperial prison are all serious criminals. Eunuch Liu said that in a few days, people from Dongchang will come to screen. I think I, the Jinyiwei, are also from the Ming Dynasty. Facade, since you are in charge of the prison, I think you should go through the prisoners in the next few days to get a clearer picture. Don't wait for the people from Dongchang to come over. We don't know anything. We don't know anything when we ask. Facade has to be there! "
I quickly said yes. Shi Yi looked at Gu Dachun and said, "Dachun has also been in prison for a long time. Many procedures are very clear. I think he is also cooperating with you on this matter."
I nodded, and Gu Dachun smiled at me and said, "Master Qianhu, please take care of me." I smiled and said, "Dachun, why are you so polite? The Jinyiwei we entered together are just brothers, we just support each other!"
Shi Yi nodded and said: "Zhang Ying's words are right. We are brothers behind closed doors. We are all father-in-law's, and it is natural for us to do things for him. My father-in-law named a few people, among them Yang Hong and Wang Shouren , we have to get evidence."
I knew that Yang Hong was in prison, but Wang Shouren didn't know. I glanced at Gu Dachun, and Shi Yi continued: "Yang Hong is very hard-boned. It is said that he was punished with severe punishment, but he still didn't do it. He only said that there is reincarnation in the way of heaven." , God's justice is clear, and he scolded Eunuch Liu; Eunuch Liu meant that he should confess as soon as possible and then be executed." I asked: "I saw Lou Xian also brought his family members in."
Shi Yi sneered and said: "Eradicate the roots! This is included in the "Da Ming Law"!" I was shocked, thinking about Mrs. Yang and her two young children, and I really couldn't bear it.
Shi Yi seemed to see what I was thinking and said with a smile: "Zhang Ying, you will get used to this gradually. If you keep these people, they will be a disaster in the future." I had to say: "Yes, I will obey your orders!"
I have only been to prison twice before, once to save Kochi County, but I also gained a reputation as a greedy person. It’s not that people here are laughing at me for saving people, it’s just that I received too little money. In their eyes, this kind of official with no big problems is a money tree, and they can shake it without any scruples.
Liao Jianzhong once said that prison is the cleanest place in the world and also the darkest place. There must be a group of people who broke the law, and of course there are people who were wrongly accused.
Another time, it was Yin Hua who came here to rob the imperial prison and rescue Yu Qi. As a result, I accidentally ran to Dongchang and saw so many incredible things that I am still a little worried today. And I don't resent Yin Hua. She went beyond the Great Wall, and I don't know if I will see her again in this life.
In the past, I was just a young Jinyiwei who just joined the job, but now I am Qianhu, in charge of the Zhenfu Division. Everyone here is very polite to me, even though I still look so young and nervous.
Gu Dachun was very proud and walked in front with his head held high. Lu Song and I walked behind, and several captains followed me carefully. When I entered the prison compound, I found that there were still a large number of prisoners gathered here. When they saw us coming in, they immediately started shouting like a pot exploding.
"It's unjust! Sir, we are unjust! We just followed the pavilion elders and handed over the coupons, so we won't be locked up here. Let us out! Let us out!"
Needless to say, these people are the officials who followed Xie Qian, Liu Jian, and Li Dongyang to the table. Think about it, they were imprisoned for half a month. I glanced around at these people and found that they were wearing relatively clean clothes, all of which were newly made cotton clothes. It’s just that the faces of these people were very ugly, and their eyes were very different. Some were praying, some were angry, some were indifferent, and some were resentful. I sighed in my heart and said: "These people are still officials of the imperial court, so we cannot treat them badly."
Gu Dachun said: "Master Qianhu, you don't know something. Eunuch Liu has said that when dealing with these people, if there are any problems, they will be transferred to the East Factory and they will be found bankrupt. If there are no problems, they will be beaten with twenty killing sticks." Then send him to a remote area and never let him return to Beijing!"
I secretly lamented the consequences of offending Liu Jin. Gu Dachun winked at me and said: "These people are just weaklings. They will do anything to scare you. You are a Qianhu master. You don't have to interrogate yourself. I will arrange it later. Don't worry." , we abide by all the rules!”
