Chapter 69 The turbulent current
"Have you heard that there is something else in the killing of the Fang family." In a restaurant in the capital, a man mysteriously said to the diners beside him.
"Oh? Hasn't the court already got the suspect? What, is there any other problem? But what's the inside story?"
Previously, the man looked around nervously and was sure that no one was staring at him before he replied, "Xu Jinghong, who was taken, was just a person who suffered on behalf of others. In fact, it was a senior official in the court who killed the Fang family."
"What? Is this true? However, to be honest, I also think Xu Dusi did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. When he became the capital of Guoan, he was very upright.
"It was precisely because he was too upright when he was a capital and offended those big figures in the court that someone used this incident to frame him."
"Since someone deliberately framed him, how do you know? You are just a businessman. Can you still have friends with those officials in the court?
"Of course, I'm not so well-fed, but I just heard people talk about it. It is said that at the scene of the corpse of the Fang family, there were three bodies of people in black, and they were some of the murderers. Hearing the words from the people in the capital, these three were good players in the world at the beginning, but later they were taken away by a family in the capital.
"Is there such a thing? However, you have figured it out by me. Xu Jinghong is not the only one who has a grudge against the other family in this court. Although those families look harmonious on the surface, they must have hatred behind their backs. This time, the Fang family was driven out of the capital. Don't these people fall into the well and take revenge?
"Yes, and they have found such a good scapegoat this time. May I ask if these people still don't do it? Two things can eliminate two disasters with one stone. If it were you, I would do the same, right?
"Not at all." Both of them drank wine with a heartfelt smile, but they didn't realize that their conversation had been heard by other diners beside them. So soon, this statement spread like wings in various restaurants and teahouses in the capital, and almost everyone knows it.
In King Jing's Mansion, Sun Zaiyuan walked back and forth in his room uneasily. He was sent to Zhao Hong the day before Xu Jinghong's house, so that if something really happened, he could be well. Although he is very safe now, he is still extremely nervous, because Xu Jinghong and others have been imprisoned in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for two days without news.
Suddenly, the door opened and Zhao Cong came in. At this time, Sun Zaiyuan didn't care about any etiquette and immediately asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any news about my son? What's the reaction outside after that statement spread? In front of outsiders, he dares not call Xu Jinghong the lord. After all, this title is a little taboo.
Zhaocong seemed to smile at Sun Zaiyuan with comfort: "The people I sent to finally brought back the news there after several twists and turns. It is said that Brother Xu made another big trouble in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, which made those guys suffer losses, and he himself was not injured. As for the news, although it has spread among the people, the effect is not very good. After all, people in the officialdom should be more cautious.
Sun Zaiyuan relaxed a little, and then frowned and said, "I really didn't consider the thoughts of those people in the officialdom when I planned to do this with the prince. We are a little optimistic."
"There is no need to underestimate yourself. In fact, this statement has been effective, but it can't be seen on the surface. We have done a good job. Now many people in the court are complaining about Brother Xu's injustice. Presumably, the Ministry of Criminal Justice will have to release people soon.
"It's so good. Next, it's time to completely point out the origin of these three people, so that those who wait and see can take action. After set his mind, Sun Zaiyuan once again showed his resourceful side: "Since the previous rumors can't be banned by the court, the next statement can also be publicized."
"That's what I think. But..." Zhao cong paused and proposed, "In my opinion, it's better for the government to dig out this matter by itself, right? Those people in Gyeonggi Province are not weak. The bodies are in their hands. Naturally, they can find out everything, which is much more effective than empty rumors.
"Isn't the prince afraid that the Gyeonggi government will suppress the truth because of some taboos?" Sun Zaiyuan asked uncertainly.
"I don't think so." Zhao cong shook his head: "You don't know Lu Bingqing's identity. He is not from any family and won't have too many worries."
"Hm?" Sun Zaiyuan heard the sound of the other party's words and nodded: "Since the prince has such confidence, then do as you say. I just hope that this matter will change quickly, so that the prince can be free earlier.
"Sixty, the situation will change greatly in these days." Zhaocong said confidently again.
As Zhao cong said, the efficiency of the Gyeonggi government is still very high. However, in just three or four days, the identities of the three bodies were identified one by one. They are all famous bandit killers in the world, namely Liu Siming, Pang Dingtian and Xue Muyao. There is almost no doubt about the confirmation that these three are the murderers, because these three people are too famous and have too many criminal record, and it is evogoable to kill all the Fang family this time.
However, when the people of Gyeonggi Province continued to dig deep into the three people, a shocking result came out - they actually had a deep relationship with the most powerful Ye family among the seven people, and they have recently become members of the Ye family!
Today's court is completely in the hands of the seven masters, so although they have some shady things, they don't care too much about confidentiality. After all, they have nothing to worry about when they are in power. Naturally, they are not afraid of being found to use killers to eradicate their dissidents. Naturally, the Ye family was not afraid, so the relationship between Xue Muyao and the three of them was not too well kept secret. Xu Jinghong had no connections to investigate because of the new establishment of Guoan Division, but the Gyeonggi Province was different. They have completely found out this point with little effort.
But after it was found out, they were a little dumbfounded. This matter involved two of the seven families, and the power of the Ye family is so great. Does the Gyeonggi government really dare to expose this? In the end, these people had to report the situation to Lu Bingqing and wait for him to make the final decision.
"Your Excellency, what should we do about this?" After explaining the situation, Wang Guben looked at Lu Bingqing expectantly. After his relationship with Xu Jinghong, he has developed a certain friendship with this teenager. Now that he has been framed, he naturally hopes to help him. However, the final decision is still in the hands of Lu Bingqing.
After looking at the document in his hand, Lu Bingqing suddenly looked up at Wang Guben: "What do you think?"
"I..." Wang Gu didn't expect the other party to ask himself this, and he really didn't know how to answer for a moment. After a long time, he hesitated and said, "Everything depends on the judgment of the adult."
"This is not your truth. I can still see that I have been anyin for many years." Lu Bingqing shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm afraid you want to save your friend Xu Jinghong from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, right?"
Wang Guben did not deny this. The other party made it clear, and it would be too much to deny it, so there was an acquiescence.
"The official asks you, if I don't tell the truth and let Xu Jinghong take this blame, will you poke all this out?" Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lu Bingqing asked again.
"I... humble..." Again, Wang Guben was a little difficult to speak, and finally said, "I don't know about this."
"You are telling the truth. In fact, I don't know what choice to make before. But now, I have made a decision. Lu Bingqing smiled and said, "For a long time, my purpose as an official is to be this official. I have never thought of doing something impressive. This time, I took this risk and helped Xu Jinghong with you!"
"Your Excellency..." Wang Guben shouted with some emotion. He could hear that Lu Bingqing was helping him.
"You have been with me for many years, but I, a superior, can't give you any promotion. This time, I, Lu, will take it as your auxiliary work over the years. Don't worry, this time it won't be so fixed. The real murderer can't run away!" When Lu Bingqing said this, his eyes rarely showed excitement.
"Your Excellency, no matter what you tell me, I will do my best!" There was nothing else to say. Wang Guben only used this sentence to express his excitement. In fact, the reason why he behaved like this is not only for Xu Jinghong. As an official with a conscience and has seen too many illegal things in his family, he also hopes that one day he can arrest these illegal people with his own hands.
"Go and prepare for it. In these two days, I will let you do something you didn't dare to do before." Lu Bingqing finally ordered, and Wang Guben took the order after arching his hand.
After the hall calmed down again, Lu Bingqing's face showed a strange smile: "Have you heard it? In fact, there are still many hot-blooded people among my Song officials. What else can you worry about?"
"Yes, the old man still underestimated Wang Guben." A hoarse voice came from behind the screen, and then a thin figure came out. It was the transcendent position in Jingji Prefecture that was respected by many people.
"Lao Yan, we haven't been waiting for a day or two. What do you think now?"
There are always ideas, but the practice is more suitable for us. After so many years, we finally have another opportunity to hit the rich family, and we must not miss it. Think about 30 years ago..." Speaking of this sentence, Lao Yan's face, which had always been expressionless, also showed sadness.
"To be honest, I have only heard my father talk about what happened in those years. Is it really possible to reverse the situation of the family in power at once?" Lu Bingqing is now less than 50 years old. Thirty years ago, he was still a teenager who was studying. Most of the things in the court came from his father, who had already been an official.
"Yes, in fact, everyone was ready to attack the family after Feng Shuai gave an order. However, Tian did not follow people's wishes. At that time, it happened that the Hu people invaded, and Feng Shuai was responsible for guarding the land, so he had to go to the northern Xinjiang. I don't want to... When he went, he was killed by the seven people who had been detected to be bad on the battlefield with the barbarians. Feng Shuai was loyal to me, but as a result, he was killed, and his family was also killed..." In the end, Mr. Yan shed a few turbid tears.
After sighing with the other party for a while, Lu Bingqing said, "Now that we have another chance to deal with the family, we will never miss again."
"Yes, I won't miss again. This time the Fang family has been destroyed, and it's the Ye family's turn next." Mr. Yan's sad face suddenly turned into a determination: "If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent. However, to be honest, the person who set this plan is still not rigorous enough. Fortunately, the old man's position is like this, otherwise it's really hard to say.
"What? Did Mr. Yan still find any problems? Lu Bingqing asked uneasily. In fact, he already knew the identity of the three people and made up his mind, but he had been hiding them all the time.
"There is no problem with the identity of those three people. They are indeed the hidden killers of the Ye family, and the real murderers have arranged the scene without any loopholes. Even if they come to investigate, they can't see any problems. It can be seen that the other party is also a good person. However, there are many freshly tortured scars on the three bodies, which will naturally become the biggest doubt in this case, which will have an impact on the final case.
"Is there such a omission?" Lu Bingqing said worriedly, "What's wrong with this?"
"Adults can rest assured that there are old people. It is not difficult to cover up this. In another day, the effect of the medicine I applied to the three bodies will completely appear, and the scars on their bodies will turn into older wounds, so that everything can be covered. Lao Yan said with a smile.
"It's the best. Let's wait one day before I will report this matter to the court to see what the Ye family can say on this matter. Presumably, other families will not miss it when they see such an opportunity to weaken the momentum of the Ye family. Lu Bingqing also laughed.
At this time, in the Ye family's mansion, Ye Mingyang and other family leaders in charge of major events were in their study. Everyone's faces were not good-looking, especially Ye Mingyang, the owner of the family, who was so gloomy that they were dripping water.
"How can there be such a saying in Beijing?" After a long time, Ye Mingyang, who had not spoken, said.
"I've checked this. It's all spread by unidentified merchants in various restaurants and teahouses." Ye Mingyuan immediately replied, "And it is too difficult to find out their identity afterwards. So it seems that someone is deliberately spreading such rumors."
"Master, in fact, you don't have to worry so much. What they are talking about is just a certain family, and they have never said by name that it is our Ye family." Ye Scenic Spot said.
"Well, what do you know? This is just a temptation. If we don't suppress this news immediately, I'm afraid that in a few days, this family will become the Ye family. Ye Mingyang scolded.
"Master, should we use the power of the Gyeonggi government or the patrol camp to arrest these people who spread rumors?" Ye Mingzhong put forward his own views.
"If you do this, you won't be self-invited. I even suspect that the source of this news is the people of Gyeonggi Province. In addition to them, who knows that there are three people in black where the Fang family was in the accident?
"In fact, the murderer should also know, but I really can't think of anyone other than Xu Jinghong who dares to do such a thing." Ye Mingyuan sighed and was quite embarrassed.
Ye Mingyang stabilized his mood and continued: "I still suspect that it was Xu Jinghong who killed the Fang family. He was proved that it was just a part of the plan. And he left three men in black at the scene in order to find a scapegoat. Do you know the identity of those three people?
"The Gyeonggi government has been keeping this matter secret, and our people can't ask what happened." Ye Mingyuan smiled bitterly and said, "But I still agree that the three people you mentioned are Xue Muyao, so that Xu Jinghong made this matter more obvious."
"It's a pity that the three of them have fallen into the hands of Xu Jinghong before, otherwise they can be convicted of him at once."
"This is exactly what he is cunning about, knowing that we can only put up with this in this regard." Ye Mingyang snorted again, "But we can't always be led by him. We must come up with a countermeasure."
"I have a way, maybe I can make sure of Xu Jinghong's crime." Ye famous said again, "Is't he in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice? We just need to give him..."
"How can it be easy to kill him? The Ministry of Criminal Justice had this idea before, but as a result, hasn't he avoided it? And because of this, he controlled the situation over there. Ye Mingyuan shook his head and disagreed with this method.
"The only way is to put enough pressure on the Gyeonggi Province so that they can completely determine the murderer as Xu Jinghong." Ye Mingzhong said.
"It seems that this is the only way." The Ye family, which has never been so passive, is obviously a little confused in such a situation, which is also the common problem of today's families. They took over the power of their superiors to control the world, and naturally they are not very able to deal with the disadvantages.
In the next few days, the Gyeonggi Government was under more pressure than in the previous two days. Many officials with a certain status in the court came to Lu Bingqing when they had nothing to do, knocking on the sidelines to make him quickly solidified Xu Jinghong's charges. In this regard, Lord Lu's attitude was very ambiguous. He neither agreed nor objected, and it was dragged all the way to the end of October, the last dynasty meeting.
