Chapter 659 Secret Purpose
"Your Excellency, it's actually simple to do it. It's not difficult for me, Jinyiwei, to take people's lives. This is just Nanjing, and even in the capital, it's not impossible. It's just... I found a lot of strange things here. I think adults should listen to these things before doing things. Wang Yong holds the boxing.
Song Nan said, "Third."
Wang Yongchao took a look at Wang Zitong and Zheng Da and said, "After the humble position came here, Deputy Zhenfu and Lord Wang told me a piece of news. After verification in the past few days, it was found that it was true; Nagu Dayong is now the leader of the Nanjing Imperial Palace Department of Ceremonies. Since the New Year, this man has controlled many people in the Nanjing Imperial Horse Prison. Now it has become a government door similar to a factory, and hundreds of people wander around the streets and alleys every day to collect information and so on.
Song Nan frowned and said, "Oh? Is there such a thing? What does this one want to do?"
Wang Yong shook his head and said, "Although we have investigated this matter, we can't get the point. It can only be explained that this he wants to make a comeback in Nanjing East Mountain. If this person can make a name in Nanjing, such as hearing the greed of important officials. Corruption, fraud and dereliction of duty may not be able to be transferred back to the capital after being reported to the court.
Song Nan frowned and thought for a moment, "Does he want to go back to the capital and get up again?" This is too naive. However, your opinion may not be wrong. He may not have had this idea before, but now he is a member of the Empress Dowager. Empress Dowager Zhang must have given him some reassurance pills, so he jumped out.
Wang Yong and others nodded one after another and said, "It's very likely."
Song Nan said, "Can Gu Da's investigation be made clear about the hanging of the female officials around the princess? What happened that night?"
Zheng Da hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, this matter has been clarified. That night, it was Gu Daqi with several eunuchs, and the two female officials didn't say anything. Don't worry, my lord.
A stone fell to the ground in Song Nan's heart. Cui Hongying and Hongyu didn't seem to tell the matter of stealing the dragon robe with the princess before they died, so the matter was much simpler. If the news was leaked that night, Gu Dayong must not be the only one who knew, and maybe the Empress Dowager would also know. This can also explain why Zhengde would let herself go this time. If I knew that I had stolen the dragon robe and framed Liu Jin, I'm afraid I'm in prison now. I had this judgment before I came, but if I was not sure, I would always feel uneasy.
"Well, in this case, Gu Dayong can be killed immediately. In the past few days, it is best to kill him while he comes out of the palace. It's not impossible to do it in the palace, but it's too big."
Wang Yong and Zheng Da Wang Zitong were silent. Song Nan felt strange and asked, "What? Is it difficult?"
Wang Yong said, "There is no difficulty, but I'm afraid it won't work these days."
"Why is that?"
"Did the adult go to Baiqiao to watch the Huakui game tonight?"
"Yes, what does this have to do with this matter?" Song Nan was surprised.
"Can the unknown lord see Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning from Nanchang?" Wang Yong asked.
Song Nan frowned and said, "Do you also know about this? I was also trying to verify from you. I heard that Zhu Chenhao came to Nanjing and bought several brothels on the Qinhuai River. It seems to be true. But what does it have to do with this?"
Wang Yong said, "Your Excellency, can you see King Ning at Baiqiao tonight? If you see it, you will also see Gu Dayu.
Song Nan was stunned and said, "Gu Dayi? He is with King Ning?
Wang Yong nodded and said, "The relationship between this Prince Ning and Gu Dayong seems to be unusual. During this period, they have been together almost every day. According to the news from Jinyiwei Yamen, King Ning invited Gu Dayong to watch the Huakui Competition tonight. If you can see King Ning, you will also see Gu Dayong."
Song Nan said stunnedly, "I didn't see it. I didn't show up. Fortunately, I didn't show up. Otherwise, Gu Dayi knew that I came to Nanjing. With this man's shrewdness, he would definitely guard against me. This matter is very interesting. Gu Dayong is a demoted eunuch. Originally, no one should have paid attention to it, but recently not only got on the empress dowager's ship, but also fought with a vassal king, which is strange.
Wang Yong said, "Maybe it's just an old acquaintance. Gu Da used it in the capital and also made friends with foreign officials. Maybe it's just that Prince Ning came to Nanjing to buy a property, and Gu Da used up the friendship of the landlord."
Song Nan smiled and said, "I hope so. This Prince Ning is really good. What's wrong with coming to Nanjing? Buy a few brothel to be the boss behind the scenes. Isn't this the face of the royal family? I don't understand what he thinks.
Wang Zitong suddenly said, "These famous buildings in Nanjing City are not simple. It has always been popular in the officialdom of Jiangnan to take Huakui as a concubine, and the comparison is very strong. Bai Dongdong, the wife of Huakui the year before last, was redeemed by Li Weiqing, the governor of Zhejiang, for 100,000 taels of silver and took her to banquets and parties every day. It was very beautiful.
Song Nan's heart was moved and said, "One hundred thousand taels? This is too cheap. How can Huakui's redemption be so cheap?
Wang Zitong laughed and said, "Is there any need to ask? Half redemption and half delivery. The official is old and always has face. The governor wants to redeem her. Will the owner of Shuiyue Tower open his mouth?
Song Nan pondered for a long time, and suddenly felt uncomfortable and said, "Is there such a habit in Jiangnan's officialdom? Is it popular to ask for the red cards of several famous buildings as concubines and show off each other at the party?
The prince laughed and said, "There are all kinds of birds in the forest. You don't know the atmosphere of Jiangnan's officialdom. The trend of taking medicine and taking concubines and children is prevalent. In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has been stable, and there is no chaos in the place. I'm afraid that everyone will be panicked and will be unhappy if they don't do some tricks."
Song Nan picked up the wine bowl and slowly took a few sips, frowned into a pimple, and told herself that this matter was related to the matter of Ning Wang's purchase of a famous building, and it always felt a little strange; after dating Ning Wang for a period of time, I always felt that this person did not want to be so enthusiastic and cheerful, as if What's hidden?
When everyone saw Song Nan's sudden silence, they were all at a loss. Wang Yong carefully asked, "Your Excellency, how to deal with Gu Dayong's matter? Please tell me. Although he and Ning Wang are mixed together, it is not difficult to find an opportunity to kill."
Song Nan waved his hand and said, "No, this matter will be postponed. From tomorrow, mobilise our capable forces to find out two things for me. First, what Prince Ning did when he came to Nanjing City should be written into a secret report and submitted to me. Second, please find out the details of Prince Ning's acquisition of the top ten famous buildings in the Qinhuai River, and one The bottom line of the people called Fang Qingshan who wandered around the Qinhuai River.
Wang Zitong was stunned and said, "Your excellency wants King Cha Ning? This...is not appropriate."
Wang Yong shouted, "What's not appropriate? If you want to check whoever you want to check, you can check who. Everyone can check except the emperor. Don't you understand this yet?"
The prince hurriedly said, "That's not what the humble position means. The humble position means that it can be checked, but why adults want to investigate, they always have to say a reason, so that there is a direction. After all, the forces of all parties in Nanjing are complex, and there are not many people in our Jinyiwei. We can only secretly investigate and visit. If there is no direction, I'm afraid we can't get the information that adults want.
Song Nan smiled and said, "The Wang commander is also stained with the habits of Jiangnan's officialdom, and there is such a requirement; well, I will make an exception to explain a few words to you, but this time. Don't ask so many questions next time, or you will be regarded as incompetent.
The prince blushed and said, "I deserve to die. I don't care about the inferior position."
Song Nan said, "Listen, it's not a matter for me to investigate this matter. A prince has done a lot of things. It's good to invest in land and do business. Why did he buy a brothel to practice his reputation? This is one of the suspicious. Second, as you said just now, Jiangnan officialdom has been popular in privately asking for the red card from Qinhuai famous buildings** as a private pet, so is there any connection?
Wang Yong suddenly whispered, "Do you mean...?"
Song Nan shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything. We are brocade guards. Our noses are better than dogs. It is a qualified brocade guards who can smell a trace of strangeness in peace. I'm not sure about anything, but since I have doubts, I have to find out."
Several people in the seat were speechless and frightened, and there was a dense layer of sweat on their backs. There was a lot of imagination outside Song Nan's words. A terrible picture appeared in their minds, making them stunned.
"That's my personal curiosity. This guy is very interested. I just want to know where he came from and what he has done in Nanjing over the years, but nothing else." Song Nan began to immerse himself in eating vegetables, no matter how many people were shocked in front of him.
"This habit of Jiangnan officialdom is most easily exploited. Jinyiwei has been operating for more than 100 years, and the dark toon has been installed all over the country, from the prince's mansion to teahouses and restaurants. Experience tells us that only by gaining absolute trust inside can we obtain accurate and timely information. But none of this is easy to get information, that is the person on the pillow. The woman from the famous building scattered the official's inner house. If she becomes such a dark one, she is the most successful intelligence theft. Song Nan buried her head in eating and drinking, but it was difficult to calm down.
