Chapter 0483 Killing someone with a borrowed knife
With just a few simple sentences, the whole story of this conspiracy was immediately outlined, and all the unreasonable points were explained.
At that time, Zhang Chu also wondered why there was only one assassin when all the assassins were close to the official family. This was contrary to common sense. It turned out that their real purpose was to get rid of brothers Zhao Shanxiang and Zhao Fan with the help of the official family and avenge Li Quan.
Zhang Chu continued to ask: "Where is Yang Miaozhen now?"
Yang Tong shook his head and said: "The mistress and the young master are hiding everywhere. When I left, they were hiding in Jinan Mansion, Shandong Province, but I don't know if they are still there now, but they should be in Shandong Province.
Shandong is the hometown of Mistress, and as long as there is an opportunity, Mistress can easily recruit soldiers there."
Zhang Chu saw that Yang Tong's words were sincere and there were no obvious loopholes. Combined with Yang Tong's previous confession, he knew that he was broken and there was a high probability that he would not lie.
Knowing all this, Zhang Chu was very excited. The case that had not been found out in the three-division interrogation was actually found out so easily in his hands. This was so smooth that it felt unreal.
Yang Tong looked hopeful at this time, and he said to Zhang Chu: "I have said everything, please let me go, please, as long as you let me go, I will be your most loyal dog and will work hard for you."
, bite for you.”
"snort."
Zhang Chu snorted coldly, looked at him with disdain, and cursed: "You are worthy of being a dog? What owner can rest assured that you are a dog?"
After saying that, Zhang Chu waved his hand and said: "Tear this guy off his hamstrings and hand tendons and let him know where our Imperial City Division is."
"yes."
Several imperial city officers agreed excitedly, as if they had received some good assignments. It seemed that these guys had long regarded criminal law as fun.
After getting the confession, Zhang Chu went to the palace that day and presented the confession to Zhao Yun for review.
After reading it, Zhao Yun was filled with emotion. He didn't expect that the mastermind of this incident turned out to be Yang Miaozhen, Li Quan's mother-in-law. This was really beyond his expectation.
In addition to being horrified, Zhao Yun was also quite scared. Fortunately, he terminated the three-division trial in time. Otherwise, according to Yang Tong's explanation, their next move would not only involve the Zhao Fan brothers, but also nearly half of the people involved.
When civil and military affairs are involved, if it really gets to that point, I'm afraid that even if I can't bear to kill hundreds of officials, the officials may have to consider changing the emperor in order to protect themselves.
Zhao Yun put down his confession as if he was relieved, looked up at Zhang Chu, and said, "Zhang Chu, you have made a great contribution this time. Yes, I am very satisfied."
Zhang Chu felt extremely proud after hearing this, but he did not forget his duty and did not dare to take any credit for himself.
He respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, you have blessed the world and moved the world. That's why I was able to solve this case with the help of your Majesty's grace. All of this is due to your Majesty's kindness."
Zhao Yun smiled slightly. Although Zhao Yun didn't like his flattery, to be honest, the flattery sounded really useful. It seemed that the superiors throughout the ages were surrounded by a bunch of flattering officials. This was not unreasonable.
Where there is demand, there is supply.
Zhao Yun pressed his hands and said: "You don't have to be too humble. There are so many people who have contributed to this matter. Please draw up a list and I will reward you. As for you, I can't do without you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I would like to thank Your Majesty for the generous reward on their behalf."
Zhao Yun asked Zhang Chu to submit a list to receive the reward, of course, so that Zhang Chu could better establish his authority in front of his subordinates and facilitate command.
Of course, Zhang Chu couldn't stupidly take advantage of the opportunity to cultivate his personal power. That would be no different from seeking death. Even though the Imperial City Division was powerful, as long as the imperial power was not neglected, he would be nothing more than a fly and a mosquito in front of the emperor.
If you die, shoot him to death.
Zhang Chu had been beaten by Zhao Yun before, and he had a deep understanding of the pressure of the imperial power. He would not think that Zhao Yun was really easy to deal with. How could Zhang Chu not know this.
After Zhang Chu left, Zhao Yun looked at the three words "Yang Miaozhen" again. When he thought about this person, he was in Shandong, thousands of miles away, controlling everything. The Song Dynasty court was almost destroyed in the hands of this woman!
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun was furious, so the next day, Zhao Yun summoned Han Hong to Funing Palace and asked him if there was any way to punish Yang Miaozhen.
When Han Hong learned the whole story, he frowned and said with emotion: "I didn't expect this woman to have such a plan. Thanks to the fact that Li Quan's rebellion was calmed down early, otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable."
Zhao Yun also said: "Although this woman is hateful, I have to admit her talent. This woman really has the style of Empress Lu and the Emperor Wu."
The monarch and his ministers sighed with emotion and then got down to business. Zhao Yun asked: "Now that this woman is in Shandong, can the Qing family have any way to punish her? If this woman is not punished, the bad breath in my heart will be really hard to calm down."
Now Shandong has long been separated from the control of the Jin Kingdom, and is under the rule of Bolu. And Bolu supports Tuo Lei and surrenders to Tuo Lei. Then Shandong is also under the rule of Tuo Lei. It can be seen that the territory of the Jin Kingdom is a
It's getting smaller and smaller every year, and it's getting worse and worse.
Han Hong thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, Tuo Lei did not recognize the covenant you signed with Genghis Khan and openly broke the contract. We can accuse him of this in a big way. In the final analysis, Tuo Lei violated Genghis Khan's will and has a guilty conscience.
If we control public opinion, we will certainly make Tu Lei uncomfortable."
Zhao Yun seemed to understand a little bit and said: "The intention of the Qing family is for me to accuse Tuo Lei of violating Genghis Khan's will and put pressure on him, and then quietly tell him that I am dissatisfied with Yang Miaozhen. In order to appease me, Tuo Lei
Will public opinion choose to kill Yang Miaozhen?"
Han Hong nodded and said: "Yes, Yang Miaozhen is quite popular in Shandong with the influence of his brother Yang An'er. This woman is a threat to our Song Dynasty. If she joins Pulu or Tuo Lei in the future, she will be a threat to our Song Dynasty."
unfavorable.
Now it is better to intensify the conflict between her and Bolu as soon as possible and cut off her path. If she cannot stay in Shandong any longer, she will have no place to stay and she will definitely die."
Zhao Yun pondered for a while and said: "Tuo Lei and I are in the same situation. Will he care about the public opinion? Will he choose to kill Yang Miaozhen to appease me?"
Han Hong smiled slightly, looking confident, and said: "Your Majesty, people's words are terrible. Many times, you don't need a knife or a gun to kill someone, a tongue is enough.
Tuo Lei's current attack on the Jin Kingdom has failed, and he is facing the threat of Ogedai. The morale of the army has been greatly affected. If he repeatedly mentions his violation of Genghis Khan's covenant at this time, it will have a great influence on him. He will be dissatisfied with His Majesty no matter how much he does.
, will also choose to compromise temporarily. This is a decision that the superior often has to face, and it is not up to him."
