Chapter 961: Please send the forbidden army to suppress the bandits
Chapter 961 Please send the forbidden army to suppress the bandits
Zhang Wenjiang, who had been preparing for several days, entered the Hall of Xuande to worship Long Live, and his heart trembled when he heard Long live the word "flat body".
The tone of Long live seems, probably, seems to be in a bad mood. He clearly entered the palace after inquiring. Concubine Dong is overjoyed. Long live should be in a good mood. Who is this one who doesn't have eyes to provoke Long live? Obviously no one entered the palace before him, and he didn't say any important memorials sent by the cabinet...
Jing He Di squeezed his brows and asked gently, "Why did you come here?"
This... Zhang Wenjiang hesitated for a while, but decided to make it clear, otherwise if he dragged on, he wouldn't have to sleep tonight, "Long live back, sir..."
Zhang Wenjiang shook his head from side to side and was surprised to see that there was no **** in the palace. Could it be that Long Live is just dealing with important matters?
Emperor Jinghe looked at Yang Feng, Yang Feng nodded slightly, and Emperor Jinghe said, "There are only four of you and me here."
The **** chief Yang Feng and the great general in front of the hall, Ye Qingfeng, are Long Live's confidants, and they can indeed speak with confidence. Zhang Wenjiang bowed again and said in a low voice, "On the 18th day of the first month, the Taikang County Government reported that there was a ghost on a mountain called Siguniang Mountain in the northwest of Taikang County. Several people entered the mountain and then did not come out. The ghosts are extremely absurd and unbelievable. The minister sent officials from Jingzhao House and Taikang to check and found that there were people guarding around Siguniang Mountain and their whereabouts were extremely secret. Although the exact number is unknown. , but there should be no less than 40 people. And within ten miles of Siguniang, no people have been disturbed by mountain bandits, and walking merchants have never been stopped nearby. The minister is not sure about the situation in the mountains, so he went to the palace to ask for an order, please Yulin Guard sent troops to encircle Siguniang Mountain."
ss - Ye Qingfeng, the general in front of the hall standing behind Emperor Jinghe, took a deep breath and peeked at Yang Feng, only to find that Yang Feng was standing with his head down, without a trace of abnormality.
Someone is doing sneaky things in the mountains. It is reasonable and reasonable that the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture invites soldiers to capture it. However, for these matters, the Xiang Army should be used instead of the Imperial Guard Imperial Army. Zhang Wenjiang acts cautiously, if he is not fully sure, he will never enter the palace to ask for an decree. Emperor Jinghe's heart turned a hundred times, but his face was still calm, "Who is this person in the mountains?"
Zhang Wenjiang bowed and saluted, "Long live back, this minister is just suspicious..."
"Your Excellency, but it doesn't matter."
"Yes." Zhang Wenjiang said straight, "I suspect that the people in the mountains are related to the grain salaries that disappeared ten years ago in Suzhou."
His - Ye Qingfeng's heart jumped wildly. How could a mountain in Gyeonggi be related to the greedy Mo An in Suzhou, which is three thousand miles away? Zhang Wenjiang is crazy!
Jing Hedi asked slowly, "Can you have evidence."
"I have it." After speaking, Zhang Wenjiang took Jiang Mian's memorial from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.
Yang Feng took the memorial and placed it on the jade case. When Emperor Jing He opened the memorial and saw the words "Jiang Mian, the minister of punishment, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment", his heart jumped and he asked calmly, "Zhang Qing, this is this?"
"Long live back. This is the memorial that Jiang Mian prepared before Jiang Mian was killed on the night of the fire ten years ago." Zhang Wenjiang secretly said that long live is indeed long live, seeing Jiang Mian's memorial can still be so calm.
Wan Sui seemed to be calm, but Ye Qingfeng and Yang Feng behind him looked at Zhang Wenjiang, and then at the memorial in Wansui's hand.
Jinghe Di lowered his eyes, carefully read the memorial, and looked up at Zhang Wenjiang, "Aiqing is flat, continue talking."
"Yes." Zhang Wenjiang got up and replied, "This memorial, along with Jiang Mian's confession and three account books, were dug up by Jinglong in the mansion of the criminal minister Meng Huizhou in the sixth year. Having pleaded guilty and put to death, it was difficult for the minister to distinguish the authenticity of the memorials and account books at the time, so I wanted to investigate and deal with it later."
"Is it dug up by the officials of Jingzhao Mansion?" Jing Hedi knew that Meng Huizhou's mansion was searched over and over by Shen Guogong's mansion.
Zhang Wenjiang said truthfully, "Long live back, I'm not a minister. It was dug up by Jiang Mulan, the second daughter of the minister of war, Jiang Feng, and his adopted son, Jiang Ling. After the two dug up the thing, they felt that it was a big deal, so they secretly sent it to the minister. hands."
Jing Hedi asked again, "Since Jiang Aiqing's children discovered it, why didn't they give it to Jiang Aiqing, but to Qing?"
I knew Long Live would ask such a question! Zhang Wenjiang replied, "The minister asked the same question. Jiang Ling Huichen said that he felt that Meng Huizhou had left this thing to frame Jiang Feng, so he kept the Jiang family and handed it over to the minister directly. In all likelihood, Meng Huizhou left behind to frame Jiang Feng."
"Go on, Qing." Thinking of Jiang Feng who was injured far away in Suzhou, Emperor Jing He's eyes turned sharp, "Go on, Qing."
"Yes." Zhang Wenjiang continued, "For more than three years, the minister has been secretly investigating the disappearance of the millions of grains paid by Jiang Mian in Zhongmu. Due to the lapse of several years, it is extremely difficult to trace the case, and the minister has not been there. Zhongmu found traces of a large number of grain and grass being secretly hidden and resold. Until this spring, Taikang reported the strangeness of Siguniang Mountain. The minister checked the map and found that Siguniang Mountain is surrounded by mountains, and it was at the junction of Zhongmu and Taikang. With the intuition of handling the case, I vaguely felt that the ghosts in the mountains should have something to do with the disappearance of food and salaries. Because if the mountains were just ordinary mountain bandits, they would not fail to rob businesses and people, and they would not send dozens of people to guard the mountain road, their whereabouts are so secretive.”
"There are dozens of bandits in the mountains, and it is reasonable to say that there will be smoke rising in the mountains in the morning and evening. However, the officials of Jingzhao Mansion watched Siguniang Mountain from the nearby peaks for two days and did not find any smoke. The officials speculated that the four There must be a giant cave and a dark river in the girl's mountain, and the officials inquired about the people and found out that it is true." Zhang Wenjiang said, bowing his head and waiting for the long live decision.
Jing Hedi stared at the memorial on the table for a long time before he said, "Zhang Qing has been investigating this case for several years. Apart from the disappearance of food, what else did he find?"
After Jiang Liu handed these things over to him for more than half a month, Zhang Wenjiang thought about it day and night, and scrutinized it over and over again, and then decided not to see Tai Fu and Duke Huguo, but to see Long Live directly. What should I say, he has already made up his mind. Zhang Wenjiang knelt on the ground and saluted, "What the minister will report next will be verified by the minister, as well as the minister's speculation, and there are also disrespectful remarks. The minister is bold, please forgive me."
Jing Hedi nodded, "No matter what you say, I forgive you."
"Chen Xie Long Live." Zhang Wenjiang got up, boldly raised his head to look at Long Live, and said bluntly, "This minister suspects that Prime Minister Qin is raising private soldiers in Siguniang Mountain."
"Hi-" This time, Ye Qingfeng couldn't help it and made a noise.
Jing Hedi has calmed down, "You can tell the truth."
"Yes." Zhang Wenjiang told Jing and Emperor in a euphemistic way what Jiang Liu had found and his speculations over the past few days.
This is half an hour.
When he finished speaking, Ye Qingfeng was stunned, Yang Feng was shocked, but Jing Hedi was calm.
After Zhang Wenjiang retreated, Emperor Jing He leaned back on the dragon chair, water stains dripped from the face covered by his hands and dripped onto the dragon robe.
