Domineering Daming

For a while, Liao Changyong said with a gloomy face, "This matter is no longer a matter of the size of the case. You all keep your mouths shut. If anyone leaks half a word, I, Lord Shangshu, will never let you down!"

"Yes!" A group of people said with awe-inspiring expressions.

Not long after, Zhang Wenda arrived at the yamen and recruited Liao Changyong into the classroom.

After Liao Changyong finished speaking carefully, Zhang Wenda nodded and said: "You are right, this case has gone beyond the case itself, and needs to be handled with caution."

Seeing Zhang Wenda coming, Liao Changyong's expression relaxed a lot, and he said in thought: "My lord, tell me, do the Dukes of Dingguo and Chengguo know about this? Does Prince Jing know about it? If they don't know, The matter may be easy to deal with, but if they all know about it, I’m afraid they may not be able to handle it well.”

Involving two princes who are highly valued by the emperor, and a prince with high positions and high hopes, will not be "good" at all!

Zhang Wenda's expression was as usual, and he pondered: "Whether they know it or not, the Ministry of Punishment must keep it secret, and its actions must be hidden and careful, so that no one can be caught. The case must be clarified, and all evidence, especially witnesses, must be grasped." In your hands, you can't make any mistakes!"

Liao Changyong immediately understood what Zhang Wenda meant. In this way, no matter how the incident develops, the Ministry of Punishment can take the initiative.

"Yes."

Liao Changyong raised his hand, immediately took a step forward, and said in a low voice, "My lord, if you meet Prince Jing in the cabinet today, you might as well test it out."

Zhang Wenda glanced at him, and was about to speak when there was an urgent knock on the door.

Zhang Wenda frowned slightly, and said, "Come in."

The people from the arrest department quickly came in and said in a hurry: "My lord, we just got the news that Master Cao Wenzhao ordered to form a special army. All the nobles and ministers in the capital sent their children in. Zhu Yingyou and Xu Huazhi are all on the list. , will enter the Royal Military Academy tomorrow morning at the latest!"

"What did you say?" Liao Changyong's expression changed drastically.

The Royal Military Academy is very special. It has always implemented strict closed management. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter and exit at will. Even cabinet ministers have to hold the emperor's handwriting to enter.If Zhu Yingyou and Xu Huazhi entered the military academy, their Ministry of Punishment would have nothing to do.

At that time, the trouble will all fall on the Ministry of Criminal Justice!

Zhang Wenda also realized that the matter was serious. If these two men ran away, two princes and two princes would get involved, it might not be easy for the cabinet, let alone their Ministry of Punishment.

Liao Changyong's face changed for a while, then he turned to Zhang Wenda and said, "My lord, you can't take your time, let's arrest him, first detain Xu Hua first."

It's not that simple to detain the son of a duke of the state, and not long after the "nobility case", the court just needed to appease these noble dukes.

Zhang Wenda pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "It can't be deducted. In this case, you personally take the bodies of Shen Bingwu and Liu Qing, and transfer all the evidence to the Governor's Council. Remember, pretend that you don't know anything, make a big noise Let the nearby yamen watch, and when I go to the cabinet later, I will talk to Prince Jing and see his reaction."

Liao Changyong looked at Zhang Wenda, his eyes lit up, and said, "My lord, this method is good. Let's see if Prince Jing is involved in the case. If not, this matter will be easier to handle."

The honorable ministers and the clan have always been close, especially recently, their relationship has become a little closer. If it is said that Prince Jing is covering up or deliberately covering up, it is completely reasonable.

"Whether Prince Jing is involved or not, I want to push this matter out. Even if it is pushed to the cabinet, it cannot be left in the hands of our Ministry of Punishment." Zhang Wenda said.

Liao Changyong nodded immediately, and said in deep agreement: "What your lord said is that as soon as the sun breaks, the subordinate officials will send everything over there with great fanfare!"

Zhang Wenda's expression was indifferent, and after a while he said: "The emperor is going to entertain Zhang Guogong in the palace today. Whether Prince Jing is involved or not, he will handle it in a low-key manner. Please pay attention to Dali Temple and the two governments. If there is any change in them, even I am in the cabinet, so I have to find a way to tell me as soon as possible!"

"Yes, sir, don't worry!" Liao Changyong said in a deep voice, knowing that the matter was serious.

Zhang Wenda felt somewhat uneasy, stood up and said, "Go ahead, be more aggressive, Sun Baigu is on duty in the cabinet today, I'll show off."

"I'll go right now." Liao Changyong said, then turned around to make arrangements.

Zhang Wenda watched him leave, changed into court clothes, and prepared to enter the palace.

The sky gradually brightened, and more and more officials came and went on both sides of the Daming Gate, and it gradually became lively.

Liao Changyong and Shen Bingwu gave a lot of instructions, and when they saw the Governor’s Court open the door, at the busiest moment, they said to Shen Bingwu: “I will accompany you to go in person, remember, don’t say that the Governor’s Court is protecting each other. , we are here to report the case, the witnesses and material evidence are complete, and everyone is watching!"

"Little man understands!"

Shen Bingwu gritted his teeth, looked at the Governor's Court with some hatred, holding the case transfer document from the Ministry of Punishment in his hand, pushed Liu Qing's body, and went straight to the Governor's Court.

Liao Changyong led several people, dressed in official uniforms, and followed behind Shen Bingwu.

"His Royal Highness, King Jing, please make the decision for the villain. It is only right and proper to kill people for their lives!"

Shen Bingwu knelt in front of the gate of the Governor's Court and shouted loudly.

This is a gathering place for many yamen, and it was already crowded with people, and it was very lively. When he called out, everyone immediately looked over.

Chapter 937

In the Governor's Court, people from various departments and bureaus came out one after another to look at Shen Bingwu and the corpse beside him.

Most of the people were baffled, and they were watching the fun, but Liang Chengyong's face changed slightly, and there was a look of horror in his eyes.

"Isn't this Liu Qing without relatives and reasons? When will a fiancé appear? How do they do things!"

Liang Chengyong was terrified, if this trouble continued, he had to find out what was wrong with him.

In full view of the public, the Minister of Criminal Justice was in front of him, and he couldn't hide it, he could only watch anxiously.

Soon, the head of the inspection department came forward, and everything was in accordance with the rules, and the case was received by the Governor's Council for reorganization.

Liang Chengyong was the deputy chief on duty at the time and was left behind.

This case is simple and clear, and the two governments also involve the fraudulent practices of the deputy director of the Inspection Department of the Governor's Council.

This Liang Chengyong is not an ordinary person, not only has an old relationship with the Duke of Dingguo, but also has an unpredictable relationship, and is also the inspector and censor of Jiangsu appointed by the cabinet. The richest place in the Ming Dynasty is nowhere more than this. Unknown who wants to win this position How many times, it can fall into the hands of Liang Chengyong, which shows his background and methods!

The head of the inspection department didn't dare to behave himself, so he asked Liang Chengyong to quietly watch him, and he reported to King Jing's class.

Originally, small cases would not disturb Prince Jing, but this case is really not small!

Prince Jing had just taken a nap, and when the head of the Inspection Department finished speaking, his brows became a "Chuan".

King Jing looked at the head of the inspection department and said with difficulty: "You mean, it was Duke Ding's son Xu Huazhi who pushed people down the stairs, and a fight with Cheng Guogong's son Zhu Yingyou caused it. Liang Chengyong cheated for personal gain. , suppressed the case, then Liu Qing's fiancé sued the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but the Ministry of Criminal Justice transferred the case to us?"

The head of the inspection department nodded, and said: "Yes, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. By the way, Xu Huazhi, Zhu Yingyou will be recruited into the Royal Military Academy by Cao Zongbing today, and Liao Shilang specially ordered one more thing."

Prince Jing pondered for a while, and then a trace of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "That old fox Zhang Wenda, this is throwing this big black pot to this king..."

The head of the inspection department is not stupid. The key to the problem now is whether to take the sons of the two princes. If he really wants to take it, let alone the turmoil between the government and the opposition, the cabinet and the emperor will definitely pay attention to it. To roast on the fire.

"My lord, what should we do now?" the chief inspector asked cautiously.If they don't take people anymore, they will enter the Royal Military Academy. If the Governor's Council wants to take people again, they will have to go to the palace to ask for an order. That is not an ordinary embarrassment.

Prince Jing is not afraid of Duke Cheng and Duke Ding, they are nothing more than two outdated Dukes, he is a dignified prince, he is a cabinet minister, so he will not take it seriously.

The problem is, these two are now Xungui's leading figures. If something happens, it will have a great impact on the court situation. Not only Xunqing refuses to agree, but the cabinet and the emperor will not agree.

However, these two father-in-laws were still blatantly killing people in the brothel, leaving enough clues that they would not be able to "be kind" under the watchful eyes of the public!

Prince Jing's expression was ugly, his brows were wrinkled in pain.

It is certain that one should not be so reckless in picking someone up. It must be properly arranged, and the cabinet will be informed, so that the emperor's decision will not fall on him alone.
