Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-Eight: Breaking the drum and beating
In early October of the eighth year of Wanli, one day before the 'delivery' date agreed with Liu Shouyou, the Jinyiwei Tishuai, former chief assistant Xu Jie fled with his family and wanted to go to Japan, but was caught on the spot by Jinyiwei. The evidence is conclusive!
Xu Jie, who was arrested, was a bachelor. He poured beans through bamboo tubes to protect a huge amount of land. He instigated the doctor Zhao Yu to poison the chief minister of the dynasty by taking advantage of the opportunity to treat Zhang Juzheng.
come out.
Of course, in order to save his life, the instigators behind these crimes turned out to be his two sons, Xu Pan and Xu Kun. Even his escape from Japan this time, in his words, he became the target of his two "treasonous sons"
'To hold someone hostage and have no choice but to comply is extremely shameless!
"Tsk, tsk, this time I really opened my eyes! I didn't expect that this once dignified chief minister would not even spare his own son in order to survive, and he would not even eat his own son if he was poisoned by a tiger!"
Seeing what Xu Jie did in order to survive, He Qi, who was a member of the Qianhu Jinyi Guards, was immediately shocked and speechless by Xu Jie's extreme egoism.
"What's so strange about this? How many literati have you seen with strong bones? The older you become and the longer you live, the softer your bones will be! Those moral integrity that they usually talk about.
, just listen to it as a joke!"
Not to mention He Qi, even Liu Shou, a well-informed and well-informed handsome man in royal robes, was at a loss because of Xu Jie's "confession" spirit. So much so that he was a little afraid of what he was holding.
Once this confession is sent back to the capital, will he be accused of torture to extract confessions and persecute Zhongliang?
"Come here, please send this confession back to the capital as soon as possible and submit it to His Majesty for judgment!"
Finally, with excitement and a little anxiety on his face, Liu Shouyou quickly sent someone to send Xu Jie's oral supply back to the capital.
But before the emperor's new decree arrived, Xu Jie's family was temporarily imprisoned in that luxurious and majestic mansion.
…
"Excuse me, gentlemen... Uh, I, I went the wrong way!"
Looking at the two imperial guards with embroidered spring knives on their waists and wearing flying fish uniforms in front of them, Yang Lin, the magistrate of Huating County, who had lowered her head to think about things before, could not help but break into a cold sweat with fear.
Fortunately, his mind moved relatively quickly, and he promptly changed the phrase "down to the official" to "at the lower level".
'It's over, it's over, I'm just unlucky to have it delivered to my door!'
Glancing at the two Jin Yi guards guarding the door again, Yang Lin couldn't help but wailed in her heart.
There is no way, no matter how powerful the Xu family is in Songjiang Mansion, it is impossible for the guards in flying fish uniforms to guard the door.
You know, not everyone in Jinyiwei can wear Feiyu uniform! And how can Jinyiwei who is qualified to wear Feiyu uniform guard the door for others?
Coupled with the faint sound of wailing coming from the gate, how could Yang Lin not understand that the earth emperor of Songjiang Prefecture was about to collapse!
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
Seeing the frightened look on Yang Lin's face, the two Jinyi guards guarding the door couldn't help but shouted sharply.
"Young man, I am in the cotton business. I just thought about something and didn't pay attention. I admitted to the wrong door. Please forgive me!"
Fortunately, Yang Lin was not wearing official uniform today, and he had lowered his head and was thinking about things before he came in, so he did not arouse the suspicion of the two royal guards and allowed him to narrowly escape.
"What happened? It looks like things are going to change in Songjiang Mansion!"
After turning the corner, Yang Lin, who was confused, could not help but feel happy while stroking her chest!
"Oops, those people who complained!"
Yang Lin, who had calmed down a little, was suddenly startled again. She remembered the case she had helped Xu Pan handle a few days ago, suing the Xu family for seizing land.
'I hope it's still too late!'
Thinking of the few people who were imprisoned by herself for suing the Xu family for usurping people's land a few days ago, Yang Lin suddenly no longer cared about her dignity and image, and hurriedly ran towards the county government office!
…
"Sir, the common people have been wronged!"
"Sir, the Xu family has taken over my fertile land and taken away my daughter. Please make the decision for the common people!"
…
Soon, as the news that the Xu family was imprisoned by the Jinyiwei continued to spread, countless people who had been oppressed by the Xu family rushed to the county and government offices to complain.
But at this time, those officials who had been colluding with the Xu family in the past were opening the door one after another in order to draw a clear line between them and the Xu family. As long as the official documents were handed over, they were all accepted!
And the magistrate of Huating County, Yang Lin, who was the first to receive the news, successfully released the previously imprisoned people after some sweet words to appease them.
Then, in order to show that he was incompatible with the Xu family, this guy even asked a few clerks to set up a table at the gate of the county government office to write petitions for free for the people who did not have petitions.
However, most of the people who went to the government and county governments to complain were people who had been oppressed by the Xu family before but did not dare to complain.
However, those people who had sued to no avail but still managed to escape with their lives no longer trusted the county government at all. They rushed to the Jinyiwei Baihu Office one after another and handed piles of papers filled with blood and tears directly to the Baihu Office.
Throw it inside the house.
"Oh, this, what's going on!"
Looking at the thick stack of paper in his hand, Liu Shouyou, a handsome man in fine clothes, couldn't help crying and laughing.
There is no way. Since the establishment of Jinyiwei, all it has handled are major and important cases. How has it ever handled such a small private case?
"Tishuai, maybe this is an opportunity, a perfect opportunity for our Jin Yiwei to improve our reputation. Hehe!"
Seeing Liu Shouyou's wry smile, He Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Oh, tell me?"
Speaking of which, despite the overwhelming power of Jinyiwei, its reputation is not very good. Therefore, Liu Shouyou couldn't help but become interested in He Qi's proposal.
"Tishuai, anyway, the imperial court will send people to hear these cases. Why don't we take this opportunity to be a favor and take the initiative to accept all the complaints from these people? When the time comes, these people will spread the word by word of mouth, and our Jinyiwei's reputation will be great.
Could the time be any worse?"
"He Qi, after this incident is over, please return to the capital with me!"
Obviously, Liu Shouyou was quite satisfied with He Qi's suggestion.
…
"Dear fellow citizens, the Jinyiwei are His Majesty's personal soldiers. They cannot interfere in the trial of local cases without His Majesty's order. But after reading the complaints submitted by you, I really cannot bear it. In this way, I will definitely forward these complaints to Your Majesty on your behalf.
, let His Majesty make the decision for you!"
Looking at the people outside Baihusuo who came to complain, Liu Shouyou raised the stack of complaints in his hand and solemnly assured everyone.
“Young people, please bow down and thank Master Qingtian!”
"Why haven't we ever thought of coming to complain to His Majesty's soldiers before? Wuwuwu..."
"I will never believe those blind officials again. The officials of Jinyiwei are the good officials!"
