Chapter 1079
Ji Dingzhong said angrily: "Fart! We just want to lure the Japanese pirates here, and then wipe them all out! Otherwise, why would we have spent so much effort and set a trap in this City God's Temple?! If it weren't for you, a thief!
I don’t know what means were used to deceive Hu Kun, and led Ruyang Guard’s soldiers and horses into the City God’s Temple. We have already wiped out all the Japanese pirates! You big traitor is still here confusing right and wrong. Do you really think that we are all fools?!
"
Xu Chengzong was about to retort, but he heard Yang Zhenzhong say: "That's enough!"
His voice was not harsh when he said this, but Xu Chengzong and Ji Ding both shuddered and immediately stopped talking.
Yang Zhenzhong said in a deep voice: "Both the Nie and Xu families have colluded with the Japanese pirates this time..."
Xu Chengzhong and Ji Dingzhong's expressions changed when they heard what Yang Zhenzhong said. However, Ji Dingzhong's face was full of disappointment, but Xu Chengzong's mouth showed a smile.
The children of the Nie, Lu, and Zhao families standing on the stone steps were also shocked. Everyone in the Nie family was a little frightened, but the children of the Lu and Zhao families were surprised and happy.
Mr. Nie stood on the stone steps with his hands in his sleeves, his expression indifferent, and he seemed to turn a deaf ear to Yang Zhenzhong's words.
I only heard Yang Zhenzhong say: "I don't want to pay attention to the grievances between your two families. But this time the quarrel was too big, involving Japanese pirates and the imperial court. Even the dignified Luoyang prefect died in Xiuwu County. The Henan Inspector
He was also hijacked by Japanese pirates. The troops of Ruyang Guard dared to enter Xiuwu County without permission from the Ministry of War. Each of these cases is a shocking case. If the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple jointly tried, I don’t know how many people there would be.
I want to kill every one of my family members, implicating all nine clans."
When Yang Zhenzhong said this, he deliberately stopped talking, but his eyes slowly passed over the faces of Mr. Nie, Ji Dingzhong and others, and finally landed on Xu Chengzong. Everyone knew that what Yang Zhenzhong said was true, and they were all frightened.
Uneasy.
Yang Zhenzhong continued: "I am not a confused person, and I don't want to cause a big case. Although you have done what the traitors want to do, you have no determination to be traitors. Moreover, both of you want to destroy the Japanese pirates in the end.
, causing great damage to the Japanese pirates. Therefore, after careful consideration, I came up with a way that may be able to save the lives of your family members..."
Xu Chengzong, Ji Dingzhong and other members of the Nie family, Lu family, and Zhao family were surprised and happy when they heard Yang Zhenzhong's protective words. Only then did Ji Dingzhong remember that he had been standing on the stone steps.
He was condescending to Yang Zhenzhong, and was very disrespectful to Yang Zhenzhong. He hurriedly threw the long sword on the ground, ran to the stone steps in three steps and two steps at a time, lifted the corner of his robe, and knelt down in front of Yang Zhenzhong with a "plop", trembling
Said: "I hope you will be considerate."
When Xu Chengzong saw how pretentious Ji Dingzhong was, he looked down on him. He was about to say something sarcastic, but then he thought that if he were to change places and save the lives of his people, he would have no choice but to compromise like Ji Dingzhong. In an instant
Suddenly, he actually felt sympathy for Ji Dingzhong.
Yang Zhenzhong said: "Master Ji, please wake up. I have read some of the official documents you wrote for Mr. Han. With Master Ji's talent, if he gets out of the examination room, he will be more than enough to become a prefect in the future. Even if he does three
It is not impossible to become a high-ranking official like the Secretary. However, with Master Ji’s useful body, it is really too humiliating for him to submit himself to the Luoyang magistrate’s office and become a white-coated master."
Ji Dingzhong was talented and intelligent. He had read poetry and books since he was a child. He originally wanted to obtain fame. But later, Mr. Nie strictly ordered the children of the Nie family not to serve as officials. They could only hide in the government and manipulate power behind the scenes. Although Ji Dingzhong wore white clothes
As a person, he controls the affairs of the Luoyang magistrate's yamen, which is much more prestigious than the magistrate Han Qusi, but he is always resentful in his heart. Over the years, he has deliberately planned to overthrow the Xu family in one fell swoop. In addition to the fact that the Xu family is a feud with the Nie family, the two sides vow to be incompatible.
In addition to having to fight to the death, it was also because Ji Dingzhong always wanted to show off his talents and had to make a fortune in his official career. In the Battle of Haizhou, the Xu family was destroyed, and Ji Dingzhong thought that he would no longer have to hide in the Luoyang magistrate's office.
, was about to step into the officialdom and show off his talents, but he did not expect that a fish in the Xu family slipped through the net, which almost caused the Nie family to be completely defeated. In this day, he experienced unprecedented joys and sorrows in his life, and Ji Dingzhong could no longer be like before.
He was not surprised at all the changes. At this time, listening to Yang Zhenzhong's eloquent words, Ji Dingzhong felt that the person who understood him best in his life was the Master Yang Zhenzhongyang in front of him who was "in charge of the royal guards". So he knelt on the ground, despite the biting cold wind,
My heart felt hot, and I almost shed tears.
Li Qiufeng stood aside and suddenly heard Yang Zhenzhong praising Ji Dingzhong. He was startled. He thought to himself that Yang Zhenzhong had always been very deep in the city. Why would he openly praise Ji Dingzhong? A high-ranking official with such a high position must be cautious in what he says and does.
Extremely. Ji Dingzhong can be said to be guilty at this time, but Yang Zhenzhong, regardless of the presence of outsiders around him, actually praised Ji Dingzhong so highly. There must be some deeper meaning.
When Yang Zhenzhong said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Master Ji, you're welcome. Please get up quickly."
Ji Dingzhong got up from the ground and stood aside with his hands down, not even daring to say a word. He had always been conceited and resourceful, but now in front of Yang Zhenzhong, he was ashamed of himself and no longer dared to be arrogant.
Yang Zhenzhong glanced at Ji Dingzhong, but then turned to look at Mr. Nie who was standing on the stone steps, and said: "Master Nie, congratulations on having such an amazing son. When Master Nie left the capital, although he was safe,
There is no need to worry about ruining one's family and life. However, with Master Nie's ability, how can one be convinced that he has become an official like this? What's more, Jiang Bin, who framed Master Qian Ning back then, has already been punished, and new people have replaced old ones in the court.
If Mr. Nie comes back to the profession again, it will not be difficult to become a cabinet bachelor based on his ability to turn his hands into clouds and rain in the officialdom."
When Li Qiufeng heard this, he thought to himself that Yang Zhenzhong first praised Ji Dingzhong, and then he piled top hats on Mr. Nie's head one by one. This was very different from his usual behavior.
I'm afraid that he is so pretentious and has other agendas.
While Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he heard Mr. Nie say calmly: "Master Yang is putting gold on the faces of our father and son. It's just that although I am old, I have not reached the point of being old and stupid."
When Mr. Nie said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "I have already guessed what Mr. Yang wants to say. In exchange for the old man's useless body, he has gained hundreds of people from the Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua families.
People's lives are safe, and we can't thank Master Yang enough for his kindness. Master Yang has a bodhisattva-like heart and is so kind that I accept it with my heart."
As soon as Mr. Nie said this, everyone was shocked. Many people secretly thought that Yang Zhenzhong praised Mr. Nie and Ji Dingzhong and his son without any intention of blaming him. But why did Mr. Nie suddenly say such a sentence?
The words are really puzzling.
It's just that Ji Dingzhong and Li Qiufeng are different from the others. Ji Dingzhong is smart and good at changing things, and Li Qiufeng knows Yang Zhenzhong's character well. The two of them just heard Yang Zhenzhong talking to Mr. Nie, and they were puzzled at first. But then they thought about it.
, immediately understood the profound meaning of Yang Zhenzhong and Mr. Nie's words. Ji Dingzhong's face changed drastically, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he couldn't help but tremblingly said to Mr. Nie: "Dad, how could you be like this..."
When Ji Dingzhong said this, he saw Mr. Nie turning his head to look at him. There was blame, regret, and encouragement in his eyes. The words that originally came to his mouth could no longer be said. He just trembled slightly.
I lowered my head and couldn't bear to look any further.
Li Qiufeng thought to himself, there have been frequent major cases in Yuntai Mountain and Xiuwu County recently, and thousands of people have died. Such major cases must go directly to the imperial court. The six ministries of the imperial court, the cabinet, the Yushitai, and the Dali Temple are all paying attention to this matter.
If handled improperly, even if Yang Zhenzhong was a close confidant of the emperor, the ship would probably be capsized. What's even more terrible is that these cases also involve Japanese pirates, which is the bad luck of the imperial court's party disputes. Over the years, the imperial court has been harassed by Japanese pirates and Tatars in the Ming Dynasty.
There were endless quarrels. Some officials advocated appeasement and peace, and no use of weapons. Some officials insisted on suppressing the main force, and absolutely could not make peace with these clowns. As a result, the two sides formed their own factions and attacked each other, which has become a fire and water. If
When word spreads about Japanese pirates sneaking into the Central Plains and killing officials and people in Xiuwu County, all parties in the imperial court will inevitably attack each other. I don’t know how many people will lose their heads because of this. I am afraid that Lu Bing, Yang Zhen and other factions will also be involved. In order to
To protect themselves, Yang Zhenzhong decided to suppress this major case. He must not raise a prison because of it, lest he get burned.
