The Red Mansions

Chapter 236 Are you teaching me what to do?
In Daming Palace——

Emperor Chongping was silent for a while, and said: "According to Yang Qing's intention, the Water Transport Yamen doesn't know?"

Yang Guochang said: "I think that the thieves are cunning, and the Water Transport Yamen should not know about it."

Emperor Chongping was silent again.

Looking at this scene, Jia Heng's eyes shifted, and he felt a little bit emotional, "It's hard to ask for blame if you don't hide your flaws."

In any case, after Du Jitong, the governor of Water Transport, took over the work of Water Transport, his work was still fruitful. Because of the comparison between before and after, the credit can be compared. This is a credit that no one can erase.

Then, just when Jia Heng thought that Yang Guochang would choose the Governor of Water Transport, he heard a familiar voice again.

Liang Yuanlang said in a loud voice: "My lord, now that the autumn grain is being sent to Beijing, the boats under the Sanhe Chamber of Commerce are all controlled by Jia Yunhui. The shopkeeper, staff, helmsman, and sailors are all thrown into prison. I'm afraid I can't gather such a large number of people."

Jia Heng paused slightly, and sneered in his heart.

This Liang Yuan, pretending to be smart, clearly wanted to burn the fire on him.

Sure enough, as soon as this remark came out, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty secretly discussed it because Jia Heng was involved.

"Didn't Dongcheng only arrest the leaders of the Sanhe Gang, how could it implicate so many merchants?" Wang Shu, the gray-haired minister of Dali Temple, frowned and said.

The other imperial censors also started discussing one after another, all turning their attention to Jia Heng.

Emperor Chongping's face was calm, watching the sudden agitation of the officials, he said: "Jia Qing, what do you say?"

At this time, Jia Heng came out from the playing class and said in a loud voice: "This matter, I have a feeling to report back. The Sanhe Gang has occupied Dongcheng for more than ten years, and has many properties under its command. Among them are thieves, thieves, and thieves. In order to prevent extrajudicial traitors, they need to be properly screened. Therefore, the minister detained them together and sent them to the soldiers and horses of the five cities for questioning. , Most of them are side businesses such as car and boat shops, foot teeth, and brothels and gambling houses. Even if there is no Sanhe Gang, the minister is now mentioning the military affairs of the five cities, and he also wants to regulate all businesses in the east city, but I don’t know what is involved? In addition, the minister has already Urgently mobilize the criminal officials of the five cities' soldiers and horses to interrogate those who are not the leaders of the Sanhe gang in advance. "

This self-defense almost dispelled Liang Yuan's criticism invisibly.

Deng Jin said in a loud voice, "I think Jia Yunhui's words are reasonable. Earlier, the Sanhe gang in Dongcheng caused a disaster and beat up the country to take the exam. The princes in the palace were outraged, just like yesterday. , and Jia Yunhui tortured him and uprooted him, which is exactly what we expected, so how can you say that the involvement is so extensive?"

This was the consensus reached by the court at the time. Originally, Jia Heng's errands were generally not bad, so it would be too much to be picky.

When the ministers heard the words, they all seconded their opinions.

Emperor Chongping said in a deep voice: "What you said is true. The Ministry of Punishment and the Jingzhao Mansion should send more people to help the soldiers and horses in the five cities to identify the culprits. As for water transportation, the Ministry of Households should communicate more with Jia Heng. Allocate ships and manpower in the boat to deliver the autumn grain to Beijing."

Liang Yuan arched his hands and said yes as ordered.

Secretly said, if it is impossible to shake this lucky person.

Jia Heng said in a loud voice: "My sage, the Sanhe gang's suppression has gradually come to an end in the past two days, and the order in the East City will gradually restore after that. I hereby report the details of the arrest and suppression of the Sanhe gang's disciples, so that You adults know."

Emperor Chongping nodded and said, "Nian and Zhu Qing listen to it."

Jia Heng picked up the summary of the situation in Fan Yi's book, and recited: "This battle wipes out the four leaders of the Sanhe Gang. There are four halls of wind, rain, thunder and lightning. From the leader Li Jinzhu down to deacons and above, there are 160 and five leaders, and three key disciples, 610... "

After that, there will be a preliminary introduction to the big and small leaders of the Sanhe Gang.

After finishing speaking, all the civil and military officials in the palace were silent for a while.

Some were even shocked that there was such a gang active under their noses in the city of Shenjing, which made people shudder down the spine.

"No wonder the Beijing camp was dispatched to blockade the east city..." Some shrewd officials were stunned.

Emperor Chongping said: "Jia Qing did a good job this time. After this incident, Dongcheng is bound to be cleaned up."

Jia Heng said: "It's all thanks to the cooperation of Jinyi Mansion, Jingying, and Wucheng Bingmasi."

Everyone cast their surprised gazes at the young man, and secretly thought, no matter what, the job was done flawlessly and beyond reproach.

However, at this moment, one of the censors came out of the Ke Dao and said: "My lord, Chen Duan, the censor of Jiangnan Dao, has something unclear, and I need to ask Jia Yunhui for advice."

Jia Heng's face paused slightly, and he looked at the handsome young censor who came out of the line. He had an impression of this person, and he also helped wave the flag when he heard the drum before.

Emperor Chongping looked indifferent, and said: "What does Chen Qing want to ask Jia Heng?"

Chen Duandao: "I heard that the officials in Wucheng Bingmasi and Jinyi Mansion copied and inspected the wealth of the big and small leaders of the Sanhe Gang. Today, the assets of the two families amount to more than 1000 million. I don't know how to arrange the property. There is also the Sanhe Gang. I have occupied the Eastern City for more than ten years, and there are many industries under my command, so I don't know how Master Jia will deal with these shops and businesses?"

As soon as this remark came out, it was really like a big stone dropped on a calm lake, setting off a stormy sea.

More than 1000 million taels of silver, such a huge sum, was like a whirlwind, shocking the hearts and minds of all the officials in the palace.

Even Wu Xun, who had been watching from the sidelines, including the King of Beijing, the King of Nan'an, and other five army governors, looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling inexplicably shocked.

That's right, they almost forgot, such Jianghu gangs, and stolen money...

The officials in the hall were in an uproar, and the noise was as noisy as a vegetable market.

Even Li Zan, Minister of the Ministry of War who heard about this for the first time, changed his expression slightly, and turned around to discuss in a low voice with Shi Jie, the minister of the Ministry of War.

Yang Guochang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, also had a happy face, and he was also discussing with Qi Kun, the minister of the household department.

And Han Huang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was also surprised on his elegant face.

It can be said that each of the more than 1000 million taels of property has its own plans.

The two censors who corrected the etiquette couldn't stop it.

"More than 1000 million taels, how is this possible?" someone said.

"How can it be impossible? It's strange that such a big gang doesn't have more than 1000 million worth of goods after occupying the East City for more than ten years!"

"How much does the Ministry of Household tax pay for a year? The 1000 million taels are filled into the treasury..."

At this moment, there was only the sound of a golden pot hitting the jade chime, and the crisp sound suddenly restored the tranquility of the noisy palace, but it was Dai Quan, the inner eunuch, who struck the jade chime.

It's just a pair of eyes, all looking at the young dignitary who is in the palace, staring fixedly.

The property worth more than 1000 million taels is in the hands of this young man!

Emperor Chongping frowned slightly. It was hard to hide such a large sum of money, but he also wanted to cover it up for a while. Who would have thought that it would be leaked so quickly.

Facing the gazes of all the gazes, Jia Heng looked normal, raised his eyes, looked at Jiangnan Dao Yushi Chen Duan, and said in a deep voice: "Where did Chen Yushi hear these rumors? To copy and inspect the properties of the big and small leaders of the Sanhe Gang, what happened?" Where did Chen Yushi know the secrets involved in the Five Cities Army Division and the Jinyi Mansion? Please also tell me, who leaked the secrets?"

It must be Jinyi Mansion or Wucheng Bingmasi, someone leaked the news to Chen Duan.

As for rumors, if the punctuation marks are wrong, they can be refuted, so what is it.

Chen Duan would not be so stupid as to say "this Peigong Zuo Sima Cao has no harm in saying it", he just stammered and said: "Jia Yunhui, the family property of the leader of the Sanhe Gang was copied and inspected, and there was a lot of movement before and after. Those of you who are good at it will naturally notice some clues, and the lower officials also faintly heard some rumors."

Jia Heng didn't allow him to be vague, frowned, and asked: "But this is an official secret, before the dust settles, how can we allow it to be publicized? Today, they can leak the amount of confiscated property and spread it." Everyone in the city knows that tomorrow we may leak our defense forces to the enemy! Chen Yushi, I have no intention of blaming Chen Yushi. Please explain!"

Chen Duan was stared at by Jia Heng's aggressive eyes, he asked, then he fell silent, and said: "Jia Yunhui, I also heard it by chance, it seems that Mr. Accountant in Jinyi Mansion mentioned it."

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and looked at Emperor Chongping, who was above him, and said, "I would like to thoroughly investigate the case of rumors and leaks in Jinyi's mansion!"

All the ministers: "..."

What are you talking about, the person who leaked the secret is going to be strictly investigated?
Now we are discussing money, don't talk about him left and right.

What kind of arrangement is there for more than 1000 million taels of silver?
Yang Guochang paused for a moment, and thought to himself, if all this money is going to go to the national treasury, I'm afraid it's not satisfactory.

Emperor Chongping's face was indifferent, looking at Jia Heng below, he said loudly: "It was played by Yun Qing."

Jia Heng said: "I obey."

Then, during the work of the engineering department, Zhu Yuanmao held the wat board, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I think this batch of goods should be counted and sold as soon as possible, and put into the national treasury!"

Following Zhu Yuanmao's words, the censors from Huke to Shizhong and the Metropolitan Procuratorate also came out to second their opinions.

The general trend of sharing pork was still created by the Kodao spokesperson.

Jia Heng watched this scene quietly, expressionless. All he can do now is to stay out of the matter and watch the game between the emperor and his ministers of civil and martial arts.

However, Emperor Chongping obviously did not intend to let Jia Heng go. Before the six above-mentioned ministers and the cabinet scholars were finished, he said, "Jia Qing, what do you think?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the Chinese and martial arts in the palace cast their eyes on the past in unison.

Jia Heng's face was stunned, and he cupped his hands and said: "I think it's too early to talk about the use of this money before it's fully settled."

This is a plan to slow down the troops.

Now that this matter broke out, the emperor might be a little caught off guard, and it is not easy to express his position directly, so let's press it first, and wait for the emperor and the cabinet to hold a small meeting to discuss a distribution ratio.

As for the emperor wanting to monopolize the money, it is almost impossible, it is nothing more than a matter of proportion.

Hearing the words, Liang Yuan, the Minister of Housekeeping, rolled his small eyes, smiled, and said, "Jia Yunhui knows that everything can be done if it is forewarned, and if it is not forewarned, it will be abandoned?"

Clearly seeing an opportunity, he intends to pull Jia Heng to the opposite side of the Kedao spokesperson.

"Master Liang, are you teaching me what to do?" Jia Heng cast a cold glance at Liang Yuan, with a gloomy complexion, and said in a calm tone.

Liang Yuan: "..."

Liang Yuan shot up his forehead with an evil fire, his face was ashen, he didn't know why, he just felt the indescribable contempt.

Jia Heng said indifferently: "The items copied and inspected are mostly real estate and gold and silver goods. I don't know how much they can be sold at a discount. As for the principle of taking precautions, since I can uproot the Sanhe Gang, I am better than you. Lord Liang understands."

Since Liang Yuan was killed by Fadeng Wengu, it is obvious that he has some grudges against him.

That being the case, there is no need to save face for him.

He just won a lottery, and he is in full swing, and it will be invalid after the expiration date.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, although the faces of all the officials in the palace were strange, no one felt that something was wrong.

Firstly, when Jia Heng talked about the same rank as Liang Yuan, there was no disdain for the superiors in the dispute of the same rank, and secondly, when it comes to credit, it goes without saying that the limelight is in full swing.

Being refuted in public, Liang Yuan felt ashamed and angry, and felt that he couldn't hold his face. He said in a deep voice, "Jia Yunhui, I am just reminding you kindly."

"Reminder?" Jia Heng smiled lightly, and then said in a cold voice: "The Sanhe Gang has been raging for more than ten years and has done many illegal things. The commodity breeding industry they operate has stolen and stolen Dongcheng's tax money. You, Mr. Liang In charge of taxation by the Ministry of Households, why didn’t you remind the sage at that time? Did you know but didn’t say anything, or didn’t you know? The Sanhe gang ran and drove for the grain guards, helping the grain transport yamen to load and unload grain, and you, Liang Yuan, were in charge of the warehouse Yamen, why didn’t you remind the cabinet that the members of the Sanhe Gang are all traitors? Just because you, Mr. Liang, sit on the table and watch, the Sanhe Gang used it to transport grain to the Yamen, and it grew stronger and stronger. Why do I need your reminder!"

"You...you..." Being reprimanded condescendingly by Jia Heng, Liang Yuan's face was gloomy, his eyes were about to burst into flames, his lips moved, but he didn't know how to argue.

All the ministers in the palace watched from the sidelines, with a bit of amusement in their eyes.

The two had a feud before, and now they are even more at odds.

Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "I impeached Liang Yuan, the left servant of the household department, to sit on the corpse and do nothing. I suspect that he may be behind the Sanhe gang. Otherwise, why is such a big gang covering the sky with one hand in Shenjing? The Ministry and the Water Transport Yamen are both right and left?!"

Either don't offend others, or offend to death!

Because Pan Jian was intercepted and killed by a mysterious force, some secrets of collusion with some officials also disappeared.

It is impossible for the Three Rivers Gang to only buy Qi Wang's family, and the relevant officials from the upper and lower levels of the household department's grain transportation may not be involved in the case.

Just now that old man Yang Ge was eager to get rid of Du Jitong, the governor of the water transport, and he might have the intention of cutting it.

"Originally the case involved King Qi, so it's not easy to entangle, but since the Qi Party is aggressive, don't blame me for relentless pursuit." Jia Heng thought about this, and said loudly: "My lord, I think Li Jinzhu and other backbones of the Sanhe Gang are running rampant in Dongcheng. For more than ten years, he bribed corrupt officials and covered up his evil, and should be strictly investigated!"

Jing Zhaoyin Xu Lu was the first to respond, and he cupped his hands and said, "My minister seconded the proposal."

After that, Yu De, the right-handed censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, also came out of the class to second the proposal.

As soon as this remark came out, it was undoubtedly changing the direction of the discussion in the palace. All the ministers in the palace, and some officials of science and Taoism came out of the train one after another, shouting for seconders, one after another.

In this scene, even Yang Guochang, the chief assistant of the cabinet standing in front of him, had a gloomy face, annoyed, and cursed secretly, Liang Yuan is stupid, Jia Heng is arrogant.

Originally, it was hard for him to select Du Jitong, Governor of Water Transportation, but now he wants to bring in the Ministry of Household Affairs instead.

Just when this old man Yang Ge was hesitating whether to go out of class to judge himself.

Emperor Chongping paused, and said in a deep voice: "The Sanhe gang has taken over Dongcheng and harmed one side, so they must severely punish the people behind it. Xu Deqing, Jia Ziyu, and Yu De, you three will try our best to solve this case. You must find out the truth."

Yang Guochang's old face changed slightly, he swallowed the words again, and sighed in his heart.

Xu Lu, Yu De, and Jia Heng clasped their hands together and said, "I will obey the order."

When Emperor Chongping finalized the matter, he said: "Copying and inspecting the property and selling it at a discount is not something that can be done in three to five days, and Jia Qing is fully responsible for this matter."

Neither the Ministry of Internal Affairs nor the Ministry of Household Affairs cooperated directly. As Jia Heng expected, Emperor Chongping also used a strategy of delaying the attack.

Jia Heng said: "Minister, take the decree."

All the ministers in the hall heard the words, but they didn't hear anything wrong, and the excitement on their faces remained unchanged.
