Chapter 487 Jia Heng: Take them all!
Sotama Palace
The palace is located in the southwestern corner of the harem, with halls, lofts and pavilions. There is also a winding stone path leading directly to the Imperial Garden and Shanglin Garden. The palace is majestic without losing its beauty.
In the hall, there are beams, columns, curtains and curtains all around, and the jade steps are cool and bright, and the light can be used as a guide to others, reflecting two slender, beautiful (standing) figures.
Going around a screen and walking towards the inside, the two of them stopped.
There are several crane-shaped palace lanterns placed under the Xuan window, and a red sandalwood bookshelf stands on the southwest wall. Next to the bookshelf, there are scrolls of paintings in a large blue porcelain urn. In front of the bookshelf, there is a mahogany desk with brushes, ink, paper and inkstones. , and near the book table, there is a three-legged animal head smoker cage, and the smoke inside it curls up.
Because it is close to the casement, the sunlight comes through the window, so it is not dim. If the light is too strong, you can draw the curtain or use a screen to cover it.
On the whole, the layout of the hall is simple and simple.
In fact, this was the first time Jia Heng came to Princess Xianning's bedroom. He looked around, turned to Princess Xianning, and said, "Your Highness's room is simple and not luxurious, which is admirable."
Princess Xianning smiled lightly, and said softly: "Mr. is too well-respected, please come here."
As he spoke, he ordered the female officer Zhi Xia to get the medicinal wine, and at the same time led Jia Heng into the study.
Jia Heng sat down next to the small table in the study, his eyes moved slightly, and he picked up the beautifully bound book on the table, and saw the words Three Kingdoms written on the cover, opened the book, and saw a bookmark inside.
Here, Princess Xianning has rolled up her sleeves, revealing a frosty wrist like a white lotus root. She lifts the teapot and pours tea into the teacup on the small table. As the heat gradually rises, the dense aroma Flood indoors.
Jia Heng looked up at the girl and asked, "Your Highness, have you finished the second part?"
"Sir, the second part of the Three Kingdoms, as soon as it was published, I asked the people below to buy it. I have read it overnight in the past few days, and now I am reading it for the second time." The young man said in a pretty voice.
Jia Heng smiled, and said: "After all, it's a story book, something for entertainment, and it's not worth reading it from time to time."
Princess Xianning smiled and said, "Mr. is too modest. I have learned a lot from Mr.'s book."
While the two were talking, Zhixia led the maid over, carrying copper basins, towels and other things, and said softly: "Your Highness, the medicinal wine is here."
"Put it here." Princess Xianning ordered, and Zhixia put a porcelain bottle of medicinal wine in her hand on the small redwood table.
"This Boundary Medicinal Wine is brewed by the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital with precious herbs. It was originally used by me. I often apply it on bruises, and the effect is immediate." Princess Xianning said in a clear voice, and then cast a pair of autumn pupils on Jia. Heng, hesitated for a while, and asked: "Sir, can I check the injury?"
Jia Heng frowned, with a strange flash in his heart, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I'll just do it myself."
"Mr.'s injury is on the shoulder, and it's not easy to knead it myself." Princess Xianning explained.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "This... I'm going to trouble Your Highness."
Seeing the girl's blushing cheeks, she felt that she would hurt her heart if she refused again.
Without further ado, he gently went to the python suit. Inside Jia Heng was a light white cross-collared jacket. With one hand, he took off the inner coat to his shoulders. When he turned his eyes, he saw a group of bruises on his shoulders, and black was already visible. Purple color.
Princess Xianning didn't look at it casually, but her clear eyes were like dew, she looked at her shoulder anxiously, and said with a frown: "Sir, this...why is it so serious?"
Thinking of the young man from just now, with his usual expression, talking and laughing freely, it is really unimaginable that his body still has such serious injuries.
Jia Heng said: "The brick was hit once, it should not hurt the bone."
Princess Xianning said in a low voice, "I'll apply medicine to Mr.
As he said, he washed his hands, took a towel to dry his hands, then unscrewed the porcelain bottle, poured the medicinal wine into his palms, and began to rub his palms, and then the smell of medicinal herbs evaporated, and the fragrance floated, which lifted people's spirits .
"There is vanilla juice in it, otherwise it will be a little pungent." Seeing Jia Heng curious, Princess Xianning lowered her clear eyes and explained.
Seeing that the smearing movements were professional, Jia Heng smiled and said, "Your Highness looks very skillful."
"In the past, there were many bumps and bumps. I did it myself, and I gradually got used to it." Princess Xianning said softly, her cheeks were slightly hot, and then she moved forward and rubbed Jia Heng's shoulders from behind. After a while, Sisi The coolness hit, dispelling the pain.
And the slender jade hands pinched the shoulders with neither light nor heavy force, and smeared essential oils, um, the jade hands of the medicinal wine were very comfortable, and bursts of fragrance came, floating in the nose, making people's minds sway even more.
Jia Heng's face paused slightly, and he was in a trance for a while.
The princess of a country condescends to serve him like a maidservant. Such a beauty is so affectionate, which is really a bit of a headache.
"Sir, do you feel better?"
The girl's voice behind her was cold and sweet, like broken jade touching each other, but Jia Heng could still vaguely hear some trembling, obviously Princess Xianning's mood was not calm.
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Your Highness, it's much better, it doesn't seem to hurt much now."
Princess Xianning gave a "hmm" and couldn't help lowering her eyes, only seeing the shoulders and chest, and below that...
My heart skipped a beat, and I didn't dare to look at it any more, I picked up the medicine bottle and poured it into my palm, rubbing my hands together.
After doing this three times, Princess Xianning said softly, "Sir, the effect of this medicinal wine is still good. It should be cured in two or three days."
Jia Heng put on his middle coat, put on the python suit, looked up at Princess Xianning, and said softly: "Your Highness's courteous treatment really frustrates me."
"Mister saved my father from danger. As a daughter, it is my duty to relieve my husband's pain." Princess Xianning said softly, while washing her hands, she washed the medicinal wine in her hands and stirred up the water, as if she was also thinking about it. There were circles of ripples in the lake, after thinking for a while, he warned: "Sir, don't catch the cold these days."
Jia Heng nodded, turned to look at the slender girl twisting the towel, silent, although there was nothing charming just now, but an innocent nobleman smearing medicinal wine on him is the greatest charm in itself. .
Princess Xianning washed her hands, wiped her hands with a towel, and sat down again, with a peaceful smile on her beautiful face, she said: "It's noon now, I'll ask the people below to deliver some meals."
Jia Heng put down the teacup, met the girl's gaze, smiled and said, "I'm bothering Your Highness."
While the two were drinking tea and chatting, Zhi Xia came in and said, "Your Highness, Eunuch Dai is outside the hall, looking for Lord Jia."
Jia Heng stood up and said, "Your Highness, I'll go outside to have a look."
Princess Xianning also stood up, feeling somewhat surprised, and said: "Then I will go there with my husband."
Outside the hall, I saw an inner eunuch wearing a bright red brocade robe with a calm and dignified expression. When he saw Jia Heng, he said in a low voice: "Jia Ziyu, what happened?"
Jia Heng's heart moved slightly, his face remained unchanged, and he asked, "Elder-in-law, what happened?"
"Gongling's mausoleum collapsed, and the emperor was furious. The sage ordered the Jinyi Mansion and the Internal Security Factory to send all officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs involved in the supervision of the mausoleum to prison for torture and interrogation." As soon as Dai Quan entered the hall, he said straightforwardly. .
Jia Heng's heart moved slightly, and he asked: "Have you ever asked the cabinet to issue an edict?"
Dai Quan smiled wryly and said: "This kind of big prison is entrusted to us, how can there be any explicit order? By the way, this case is led by your Jinyi Mansion, with the assistance of the Internal Police Department, how about it?
Jia Heng didn't agree immediately, but thought about the stakes involved, and asked: "Eunuch Dai just said that the emperor was furious, so this decree means the meaning of the two palaces?"
Dai Quan still had a look of lingering fear on his face, and said: "The Supreme Emperor Longyan is furious, I don't know how many heads will fall to the ground."
In his memory, during the years of Longzhi, and even the early years of Chongping, many people were implicated in the execution of large prisons.
Jia Heng pondered and said: "Father-in-law, the Internal Police Department has rich experience in arresting and interrogating such matters, why not take the lead in this case?"
"A man in our family who has been sentenced to death, what experience does he have? Even if he presides over this case, it is nothing more than creating more unjust prisons. Ziyu is now holding the sword of the emperor, and he is in charge of the army. Now he is in charge of the affairs of Jinyi's mansion. The trial of this case, on the one hand, is righteous, and on the other hand, advances and retreats freely." Dai Quan said with a smile.
Jia Heng frowned, and fell silent for a while.
Leading the case has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that "Xing Da Prison" is led by him, and he can completely chase after him, so that it is convenient to bring King Zhongshun in. The disadvantage is that if the method is too cruel, it may cause the Wenchen Group fear.
As for why Dai Quan didn't want to be in charge, it wasn't that Eunuch Dai became soft-hearted when he was old, but that this old eunuch had served the emperor for many years and he had to think about his own affairs.
As far as he knows, Dai Quan adopted a son from the same clan, helping to continue the Dai family's incense, and now lives in Nanjing.
In fact, every time the emperor set up a prison, it was a reckless act of the imperial power. Of course, in the era when the imperial power surpassed the sky, the imperial power has the qualification to be willful.
In particular, the mausoleum was destroyed because of corruption, so that the emperor could not rest in peace even after he died?
This is an offense against the imperial power, how can it be done without losing a few heads?
Otherwise, three glasses of wine?
Moreover, why didn't the Supreme Emperor and the emperor not use the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Punishment?
Nothing more than naked distrust!
It is almost conceivable that after this incident, Jinyi Mansion regained its momentum, and the fear of court officials being dominated by Jinyi Mansion and imperial edict returned.
Jia Heng thought for a moment, and said: "The Jinyi Mansion under my leadership is willing to take the lead in this case, and I must investigate for the Holy One to find out the truth!"
Only when he leads the case can the previously obtained evidence be perfectly integrated into the case, and then the whole link can be leak-proof.
"Zi Yu is a well-known loyal and upright minister in the world, and it is perfect for you to lead the case for His Majesty." Dai Quan complimented with a smile.
Princess Xianning listened to the conversation between the two, her eyes flickered, and her worry was gradually let go.
Honorary officers in charge of soldiers are different from cruel officials. If they are cruel officials without foundation, they will surely end badly if they offend civil officials like this. Palace work.
Jia Heng nodded his head, as a consent.
"Since it's so agreed, it shouldn't be too late. Ziyu and our family will arrest the person together. Don't leak the news and let them destroy the criminal evidence." Dai Quan smiled and said.
Jia Heng nodded, turned to look at Princess Xianning, and apologized: "Your Highness, I won't eat lunch for now."
"Go to work, sir, be careful along the way." Princess Xianning said hastily, then took the medicinal wine from Zhixia's hand, and said, "Sir, take this bottle of medicinal wine back and smear it on."
Jia Heng said: "Thank you for your generous gift, Your Highness."
Said, without further delay, followed Dai Quan out of Shuyu Palace, stood under the eaves of the corridor, looked up, and saw the dim sky in the distance, dark clouds covered the sun, the clouds rolled and gradually condensed, as if a heavy rain was about to fall Come.
……
……
Near Anshun Gate, Yamen of the Ministry of Industry
When the earth dragon was shaking, there was a brief period of chaos in the office of the Ministry of Industry, but as time passed, except for the tiles on the eaves of the official office being shaken off, there were not too many casualties, and people's hearts gradually settled down.
Pan Bingyi, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, who had just finished lunch, was sitting in the Secretary's Office. Across a small table, he and Lu Chengan, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, summoned the officials of the Fourth Division of the Ministry of Industry.
In addition to Dushui, Tuntian, and Yuheng, the four officials of the Qing Dynasty, Langzhong and Yuanwailang, as well as the officials of the Ministry of Construction and Cleaning, Wailang, and the director of the Bureau of Materials and Evaluation, also bowed and waited on the side, and Lingshi and Zhanggu bowed their heads not far away. Listen to Pan Bingyi's lecture.
At this moment, the collapse of the Gongling Mausoleum has not been reported to the Ministry of Industry by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, so Pan Bingyi is not yet aware of it.
"Lord Lu, in this earthquake, did the government offices and walls of the central Beijing collapse?" Pan Bingyi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, asked Lu Chengan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was beside him.
Lu Chengan put down the teacup, with a serious expression on his face, and said: "Mr. Zhang has already led people to check it just now."
"Wait to list the damaged and fallen items everywhere, and let the Bureau of Renovation and Cleaning Officials send craftsmen to repair them as soon as possible. Now that it's time for Beijing inspection, the Ministry of Industry's affairs in the headquarters should be more neat." Pan Bingyi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, then continued: " If there are halls and pavilions in the palace that have collapsed, they should also be listed together and repaired as soon as possible."
As he said that, he looked at the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Cleaning, and said, "Tian Yuanwailang?"
"Master Pan, the household department's bank balance has not been allocated for the past six months, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs is short of money and people." Wailang Tian Xigong, a member of the Department of Cleaning and Cleaning, complained.
Because Qin Ye has been on leave for the past few days, the two Yuanwailang who are now in charge of the affairs.
Pan Bingyi said: "The money has been sent to the official. It is only necessary to wait for Qin Langzhong to come and review the account books of last year's official building together with the estimation office before disbursement. Qin Langzhong is on sick leave for a few days, and I don’t know if he’s better or not.”
As he said that, he turned his eyes to Lu Rong, another Yuanwailang, and said, "Lu Yuanwailang came over to the mansion and asked Qin Ye when he would come to be the director."
"I'll go to the Qin Mansion to ask after I'm dismissed from the office." Lu Rong said hastily, his heart trembling.
Just as several people from the Ministry of Industry were discussing, a clerk suddenly ran into the Secretary Office from outside the official office, out of breath, and said, "Master Pan, it's not good, a large number of Jinyiwei came outside."
Pan Shilang frowned, and asked in confusion: "People from Jinyi Mansion, what are you doing here at this time?"
However, before anyone was sent to investigate, a large number of guards in flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives poured in from Yimen and surrounded the Ministry of Industry.
"Can't let one go!"
There were bursts of shouting, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps, and then a large number of guards from Fusi, North Town of Jinyi Mansion, surrounded the official hall, lined up from Yimen to the eaves, holding knives on guard.
Pan Bingyi's complexion changed slightly, and he suddenly got up.
Not only Pan Bingyi, but also Lu Chengan and the other officials of the four divisions all looked at Jinyi Qianhu and the two Jinyi Baihu who came into the official hall wearing flying fish suits.
Pan Bingyi regained his composure, and shouted: "This is the office of the Ministry of Industry, no trespassing is allowed, who let you in!"
The young man who looked like a thousand households in Jinyi Mansion was the leader, with a gloomy face, he sneered and bowed to the side without saying a word.
Immediately, I saw two people striding forward in the passageway of the human wall lined up in two teams.
The person on the left is tall and straight, wearing a black and red satin python-pattern official gown, with a jade belt buckled at the waist, and a black cloak, holding a sword.
The person on the right is wearing a bright red dress that can only be worn by high-ranking eunuchs. He has a fair face, no beard under his chin, and holds a whisk.
"Jia Ziyu!" Pan Bingyi was startled, because he was no stranger to him when he met him at the court meeting, and when he saw Dai Quan, his pupils couldn't help shrinking into needlepoints.
This is the factory guard!
Jia Heng entered the official hall, looked at the terrified officials of the Ministry of Industry, and said: "Master Pan, Lord Lu, the mausoleum collapsed, and the Governor ordered the mausoleum to be related to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Officials, all sent to prison, tortured and interrogated, there must be no mistakes!"
Pan Bingyi's complexion changed, and there was a "boom" in his head. Gongling collapsed?How can this be?
Lu Chengan also gasped, did Gongling collapse?Was it collapsed by an earthquake?
Jia Heng's expression turned cold, and he said, "Come on, take the two of you down!"
The school captain of Jinyi Mansion immediately rushed forward, holding Pan Bingyi and Lu Chengan on their shoulders.
"What are you guys going to do, be presumptuous! I am the official of the imperial court, a third-rank official, how dare you be presumptuous?" Pan Bingyi was startled and angry, struggling, and yelled angrily, sticking his neck.
Lu Chengan was also held down by the guards of the Jinyi Mansion, his complexion changed drastically, and he said in horror: "It has nothing to do with us, I want to see the Holy One, I want to see Elder Zhao Ge!"
At this moment, in the buildings on both sides of the government office of the Ministry of Industry, all the officials of the Ministry of Industry poked their heads out and looked at the Office of Secretary Affairs, feeling terrified.
Dai Quan laughed slyly, and continued, "Lord Lu, His Majesty is furious right now, and no one wants to see him."
Emperor Chongping really didn't want to see anyone. When the cabinet heard that the emperor of Chonghua Palace was furious because of Gongling, and Emperor Chongping used the factory guards to arrest officials, he was terrified.
Then, wanting to advise Emperor Chongping to take back his order and change to a joint trial by the three jurisprudence, Zhao Mo, a scholar of the cabinet and Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment, took the initiative to invite Ying, expressing that he would investigate strictly to the end and would never tolerate it, but Emperor Chongping avoided seeing him.
"Slapped the official hats of Pan and Lu!" Jia Heng frowned and said in a deep voice.
For Pan Bingyi and Lu Chengan, the black gauze caps on their heads were knocked off, their buns were messy, and a strand of hair hung down their faces. They looked embarrassed and terrified.
Jia Heng didn't say much, standing on the construction site before the case of the Ministry of Industry, the hand under the cloak was pressing the Tianzi sword on his waist, his eyes wandered over the officials of the Ministry of Industry, and said in a deep voice: "Secretary of the Department of Affairs where?"
"Your official... is here." At this moment, a middle-aged official stepped out from the corner, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Now all the people that the governor reads come to the left, you can help identify them, do you hear me?"
"Understood." The middle-aged official replied in a low voice with his heart trembling.
"Guo Yuanzheng, the secretary of the Tuntian Qingli, Cao Funian and Yu Congdian, the officials, Hou Yi, the official of the Bureau of Materials, Zhang Weili, the official of Jieshenku, and Zhou Ji, the official..." Jia Heng took the roster handed over by Qianhu in Jinyi beside him. , reciting one by one, about more than 20 names, and said in a deep voice: "Where are the above officials?"
Every time I read it, it seems to make the officials of the Fourth Department of the Ministry of Industry feel a little bit of a heartbeat.
The specific offices of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry are mainly four divisions, two treasuries and one office.
As for the supervision of the construction of the mausoleum, it was the Tuntian Qingli Department that was responsible for the collection of materials, while the Bureau of Materials and Evaluation and the Jieshen Treasury were in charge of account verification and project acceptance.
As for the departments of Duli, Zhunzhi, Gui, Miscellaneous, and Craftsmen under the Tuntian Qingli Division, as well as the case room, calculation room, and fire room, according to Emperor Chongping's will, these must be arrested and interrogated.
After this incident, it is equivalent to killing the two ministers of the Ministry of Industry and the officials under the jurisdiction of the Tuntian Qingli Division. It is conceivable that with the interrogation of the party members, pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, the Fourth Division of the Ministry of Industry will be empty, and it is only time question.
Guo Yuanzheng, Cao Funian, Yu Congdian and other officials present all changed their complexions, with cold sweat dripping from their backs, and stood boldly to the left.
"You are the officials in charge of the construction of the Gongling Mausoleum, who are responsible for estimating and writing off the accounting expenses, or who are responsible for collecting wood, or who are responsible for recruiting craftsmen. It hurts my heart, you are the supervising officials, I can hardly escape the blame!" Jia Heng said in a deep voice, waved his hands, and said coldly: "Take them all!"
"Hurrah..."
The guards of Jinyi Mansion rushed in one after another, poured into the official hall, and began to capture relevant officials of the Ministry of Industry with chains.
From time to time, there were voices of yelling and cursing, and the noise in the grand hall of the five houses was endless.
"Bring all these people back to the Imperial Prison!" Jia Heng ordered.
Not long after, a large number of officials, together with the two servants of the Ministry of Industry, were all knocked off their official hats, their arms were cut off, and they headed for the prison car outside the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and were escorted to the imperial prison of Jinyi Mansion.
However, the six yamen of central Beijing were originally at the foot of the imperial city, and the car along the way attracted the attention of other yamen, causing people to panic and rumors to fly.
