Chapter 232 Kill the decisive Liu Jin
Chapter 22
After the early morning, officials talked about going out of the hall one after another. Today, Song Nan's case solving process in the hall is vivid. No matter what they think of Song Nan, the ministers have to admit that Song Nan has some means.
Today, the ministers had privately thought that Ma Wensheng and Sun Xuan were inevitably lucky. Unexpectedly, the situation turned around in an instant. The two were not only safe and sound, but also captured Cui Xiu. However, the case is far from being understood. Xu Liang and the libriff were instructed by Cui Xiu. Who is behind Cui Xiu? Why did Cui Xiu, an official who has always been honest and not revealing, stir up so many things with lard? Obviously, it is not reasonable.
Who is behind the scenes? Everyone has a name in their hearts, but no one can say it tacitly.
Ma Wensheng specially waited at the gate of the hall to thank Song Nan. Song Nan can be regarded as saving his name today. Song Nan went to the government to borrow those account books and records last night. Ma Wensheng did not know Song Nan's intention. At this moment, he knew that Song Nan had already planned everything, and it was not an exaggeration to say that Song Nana had planned a strategy.
"Song Zhenfu, thank you for your help today. I'm still ashamed."
"Lord Ma doesn't need to thank you. To solve this case, Lord Ma's vigorous cooperation is also the key. If you still need to trouble the government of the Ministry in the future, please ask Lord Ma for more help." Song Nan smiled.
Ma Wensheng coughed twice and shook his head and said, "Song Zhenfu, I'm afraid there is no chance."
Song Nan was stunned and said, "Why?"
Ma Wensheng said slowly: "I have just thought about it. I'm 80 years old, and I should also tell my hometown to take care of the world. The court is also the world of the descendants. If I don't fall in love with the stack again, today's disaster is always inevitable. Thank Song Zhenfu for letting me keep the late holiday. When will it be better if I don't leave at this time?"
People are old and become elite. Although today's case is closed, Ma Wensheng also knows that the official government is no longer a piece of iron plate. Liu Jin's hand has reached into the government, and there is not only Cui Xiu in the government? It is wise to retreat bravely, otherwise sooner or later, you will still be kicked off the stage and lose your reputation.
In addition, Song Nan saved Ma Wensheng. This favor is not a white-collar worker, and it is no longer deserve to cooperate with Song Nan. The civil servants will definitely scold themselves for having no principles behind their back.
Under the exclusion of the civilian group, under the supervision of Liu Jin, and the debt to Song Nan, Ma Wensheng can't cope with so much pressure. After thinking about it, it's better to resign and return from office. It's time to end decades of court struggle.
Song Nan silently sighed, "I didn't expect Lord Ma to be so open-minded, but the court lacks such a mainstay as Lord Ma, and the emperor may be caught off guard."
Ma Wensheng laughed and said, "The waves behind the Yangtze River push forward, and there are a lot of talents in the court, and there is no less than an old man."
Song Nan smiled and said, "Lord Ma has decided, and it is inconvenient for the subordinate to say more. I can only wish Lord Ma a good journey."
Ma Wensheng nodded with a smile, bowed his hand and said goodbye. Song Nan was slightly ashamed of his heart. The most unfortunate thing in this incident was Ma Wensheng, which can be said that he was shot while lying down. The first confrontation with Liu Jin made an important minister of the imperial court fall down with a gun. If there is another dispute in the future, I don't know how many people will be unlucky.
Song Nan sighed and quickly walked down the steps of Fengtian Hall. Behind him came a negative test: "Lord Song, please stay."
Song Nan frowned and turned around. That was Liu Jin's voice.
"How are you, Grandpa Liu?" Song Nan arched his hand.
Liu Jin replied with a smile on his face and said, "Lord Song and Ma Shangshu talk happily, and it is not convenient for our family to disturb. Lord Song is now famous. Today's case resolution in the hall is really wonderful. Our family is stunned."
Song Nan smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise. What can I do for my father-in-law?"
Liu Jin laughed exaggeratedly and said, "Oh, can't you chat with Lord Song if you have nothing to do? You and I haven't had a deep conversation for a long time, and we all feel a little strange, haha.
Song Nan smiled and said, "How can you give birth? I want to talk to my father-in-law, but I also know that Liu Gongrong is in charge of the eunuch of the ceremony department. He is busy with public affairs and has a thousand opportunities. I'm embarrassed to disturb him.
Liu Jin laughed and said, "Is that right? Our family is really busy, but it also depends on who they are. Others are not free. If you come to find our family, you will be left behind.
Song Nan laughed and said, "It's really embarrassing for Grandpa Liu to say that."
Liu Jin's face changed and said, "Lord Song, we know that you are wrong, and we also know that you mean to respect me, but in any case, you can't fight with the foreign civil servants, not to mention that you are an official of the Jinyiwei, and you should always be neutral; besides... Have you forgotten how the foreign court dealt with us? Ours? Don't you remember that they are going to kill you and me?
Song Nan put away his smile and said, "My father-in-law's words are not good. I didn't have a hot fight with the foreign court, it's just the official contact required for the case. As far as I know, Mr. Liu made a few friends of the foreign court, but this is also normal. At this time, there was no need to always remember the previous hatred."
Liu Jin's increasingly plump face looked serious and whispered, "Are you still angry because our family recommended Shi Wenyi as the commander? In fact, our family is also for your own good. You are too young and have a shallow resume. If you go to the sky step by step, you won't let others talk about it. If you really care about this, how about telling the emperor to withdraw Shi Wenyi and promote you to commander?
Song Nan shook his head and said, "Mr. Liu, you are wrong. I have today's position, which is not supported by others. Needless to say, but every step is caused by my own fatigue. 100 households in Zhengnanfang are due to the military achievements of Weizhou, and the promotion of deputy thousand households is due to my efforts in the workshop. The promotion of thousands of households is due to Luo Fang's harm to my brocade guards. I saw through; the promotion of the magistrate was the case where I cracked the corruption of treasury and silver in the internal affairs government; I think that these official promotions are clear and reasonable, but I don't think of Grandpa Liu to help me.
Liu Jin stared at Song Nan and said, "Lord Song, the way to be an official is not based on your own strength. A good man and three gangs. Although the credit is important, connections are also the key. Don't Lord Song understand?"
Song Nan smiled and said, "I understand, but I don't want to abandon the principle for promotion. I have my own way of doing things."
"Is your way of doing things against me?" Liu Jin was finally angry: "It's not good for you to be with our family. How about Liu Jian? How about Xie Qian? How about Korean? Which one is not the leader in the court, now? Where are they again? Lord Song, our family is not a person who does not miss the past. You have helped our family a lot before, and our family will not forget these; but if you think that our family is infinitely tolerant of you, then you are a big mistake.
Song Nan sneered and said, "What is against you? I, Song Nan, only loyal to the emperor. Under this premise, it is not my intention to offend or help anyone. In the past, I can forget the past. If I inadvertent my father-in-law, my father-in-law can also remember the hatred. These are all floating clouds for me. In other words, I don't care at all.
"It's so arrogant and majestic. Anyway, we remember what you said today, and we have written off all kinds of things before from today. If there is any offending in the future, Lord Song, don't blame me Liu Jin for not thinking about the past."
Song Nan sneered and said, "In the past, I told Grandpa Liu that several people in the brocade guards were not allowed to move, but Eunuch Liu still pointed the finger at Sun Xuan. You have already broken your promise and talked about old feelings. Don't think everyone is blind. Today's things must be planned behind your back. Grandpa Liu still prayed that Cui Xiu not to confess. Come on, Duke Liu should beware of the means of Jinyiwei.
Liu Jin was stunned and immediately laughed and said, "Cui Xiu? So you think you have caught our family's life? You go to trial. It's strange that the dead can speak.
Song Nan was shocked, and a flash of lightning flashed in his heart, which shone with the uneasy dark clouds that had been hidden in his heart before. Shi Wenyi volunteered to send his direct brocade guard General Han to escort Cui Xiu to Fusi in Beizhen, which turned out to have a different purpose.
Song Nan shouted, "It's not good." Turning around and running down the steps, Liu Jin laughed loudly behind him and sounded creepy.
Song Nan flew to the outside of the Daming Gate. Wanzhi Wang Yong, Li Daniu and others, who were rubbing their hands and saw Song Nan surrounded one after another. Song Nan split his head and asked, "Cui Xiu can be escorted to the government?"
Wan Zhi stamped his feet and said, "Cui Xiu is dead."
Song Nan is like falling into an ice cellar. Although she is a little psychologically prepared, she still finds it difficult to accept.
"How did you die?"
"When I saw General Han escort Cui Xiu out, I followed him and walked to the stone bridge on Qipan Street. Cui Xiu suddenly jumped into the river. We were ready to go down to catch people. Unexpectedly, the brocade guards in the palace bent their bows and shot Cui Xiu to death in the river. It was too late for us to stop it. If your subordinates are not good at doing things, please ask Lord Song to be punished.
Song Nan was stunned for a long time and said in a hoarse voice, "You're right not to do your business; last night, I worked all night and my brothers were tired. Allow them to take a day off and let them go back to rest."
It is impossible for Cui Xiu to jump into the river to escape. I'm afraid that he was deliberately pushed down the river, and then he can shoot him in the name of fear of escaping. All this has already arranged by Liu Jin and Shi Wenyi. How can Liu Jin allow Cui Xiu to live in this world? Although Song Nan knew that Cui Xiu's case may not be able to catch Liu Jin's life, that is Cui Xiu Liu Jin's confession of immortality may not let Liu Jin fall, but Cui Xiu died so easily, which still made Song Nan a little unacceptable.
But Song Nan's consternation was far from over. When he rushed back to the government, another bad news came to his ears. Xu Liang and Qian Kang, who were imprisoned, both committed suicide in prison with their belts as ropes.
Although the two had no value of interrogation and they could never know more valuable things, the sudden death of the two in their government also made Song Nan furious.
Obviously, Liu Jin's people in Fusi Yamen in Beizhen just turned against Liu Jin and ushered in such news, which was obviously Liu Jin's deterrent move.
It was Peng Wanli, the former Qianhu in charge of Zhengnanfang, who was in charge of the prison. The king stood tremblingly in front of Song Nan and dared not look up. He died in his hands, and he could not escape his guilt.
"Desperation of duty, inferiority... Please appease the adult's punishment."
Song Nan sighed and waved his hand and said, "Go, they are going to die, and they can't stand it. Let's do a good job."
Peng Wanli couldn't believe his ears and retreated in fear. Hou Dabiao couldn't help asking, "Lord Song, why don't you hold him accountable?"
Song Nan said, "Peng Wanli will never dare to eat inside and outside. He doesn't have the courage. This matter must have been secretly done by others. There are traitors in the Fusi of Beizhen, which is already a certainty. Although we want to find internal traitors, we can't panic. I want you to investigate secretly from today, starting from thousands of households, everyone Keep an eye on your resume and behavior, and slowly comb it. Don't startle the snake.
Hou Dabiao arched his hand with a grim expression and said, "Yes."
