Shen Yi spent half a day in the Linhaiwei temporary camp outside the city, tallying up the specific casualty data and getting a list of those who needed pensions.
After getting these lists, he found a board in the camp, found pens, ink, paper and inkstones, spread them on the board, wrote down the names of the people who needed pensions and the amount of pensions, and then wrote down the list of injured and disabled people. Remember, I kept busy until the afternoon to finish these things.
I didn't even have time to eat lunch.
At noon, Ling Su brought some side dishes to Shen Yi in a lunch box. Shen Yi shook his head and refused, focusing on doing paperwork for the imperial envoy.
In the afternoon, he finished all the clerical tasks, and then asked the Linhai Guards to rest where they were. He took a few pages of paper filled with writing and re-entered Linhai County.
After entering the county town, Shen Yi went all the way to the entrance of the Wang family's mansion. At this moment, the entrance of the mansion was tightly guarded by a group of royal guards and a group of Linhai guards. The yamen and officials of the local two-level yamen were blocked out. , As soon as Shen Yi arrived at the gate of the mansion, he saw the county magistrate Deng Quan, the prefect Yuan Yuan, and a group of officials from the prefect's Yamen waiting anxiously at the gate of the mansion.
Seeing Shen Yi coming from a distance, Yuan Fuzun hurriedly greeted him, raised his hands to Shen Yi, and said with a wry smile: "Shen Hanlin is here."
Shen Yi looked at Magistrate Yuan and the local officials behind him, frowned and said, "Who are these gentlemen?"
The prefect Yuan is the biggest here, so naturally he speaks alone. The governor pulled Shen Yi's sleeves and looked a little nervous: "Shen Hanlin, I and other local officials really didn't know anything about the Wang family's Japanese affairs in advance. , we have nothing to do with the Wang family..."
Shen Yi said dumbly: "Master, no one said that you have anything to do with the Wang family?"
Yuan Fuzun smiled bitterly and said: "But after the imperial envoy came back from outside the city, he kicked out all the people from our two-level government offices out of the Wang family's mansion, and we were not allowed to see any of the Wang family members. We were also worried that the imperial envoy would misunderstand..."
Deng Zhixian on the side swallowed his saliva and echoed: "It doesn't matter if you misunderstood me. If it affects the imperial envoy's work, it will be a big sin..."
At this time, each of these local officials in Taizhou Prefecture looked nervous.
There is no way, every one of them has eaten with Mr. Wang.
It is natural to say that these local officials had connections with the Japanese, but it also makes no sense to say that they had nothing to do with the Wang family.
Therefore, these people are naturally nervous.
Because the case of interrogation was a major one, as long as Li Mu, the imperial envoy, said a word, all local officials like them could be implicated. Not only would their reputations be lost, but their lives and fortunes might not be saved either.
Shen Yi looked at these local officials, pondered for a while, and then said: "Don't worry, everyone, if you really have nothing to do with the Japanese pirates or the Wang family, the imperial envoy will not wrong you. It is useless for you to gather here now. The Japanese pirates last night The Linhai Guards outside the city suffered a lot of casualties during the attack. Now they need some doctors and medicine. These all need to be dispatched by the local government. You should do what you should do now, otherwise..."
He looked at everyone and said calmly: "Otherwise, even if the Japanese pirates matter has nothing to do with you, I'm afraid you will be charged with dereliction of duty."
After Yuan Fuzun heard this, he looked at his subordinate Deng Quan without hesitation and said in a deep voice: "County Magistrate Deng, our Da Chen soldiers are fighting hard outside the city. You should go to the outside of the city with medicine to support you now, and bring more meat and vegetables out. , to make up for the soldiers, and the subsequent expenses will be paid by the two levels of yamen!"
The first level of officialdom is overwhelming, let alone the immediate boss. Magistrate Deng glanced at Shen Yi and did not dare to neglect. After bowing his hands to the two people, he went down to do things.
After Magistrate Yuan arranged the matter, he showed a smile to Shen Yi and said: "Shen Hanlin, look, can you take Yuan in to see the imperial envoy and see if there is any place that the Magistrate's Yamen can help. …”
Shen Yi smiled politely at him.
"Master Yuan, Mr. Shen is just a junior official of the eighth rank. There are many things that Mr. Shen cannot do. I will go in and ask the imperial envoy about the things you mentioned, and then I will come out and give you an answer to Mr. Yuan."
After saying that, Shen Yi bowed his hands to Yuan Yuan and strode into the Wang family mansion.
The guard at the door was a personal guard of Prince Jin's Mansion. He must have been warned by Li Mu and had no intention of stopping Shen Yi and allowed him to walk in.
As soon as he walked into the Wang family's mansion, the smell of blood hit his face. After entering the front yard of the Wang family's mansion, Shen Yi saw pools of blood in the open space in the front yard.
It was obvious that the Crown Prince of Jin had done something to the Wang family.
Shen Yi sighed and went all the way to the back house of the Wang family mansion. In a bedroom in the back house, he found Li Mu who was catching up on his sleep.
Li Mu was in a daze at the moment, and he was still a little angry after being woken up. But after knowing that Shen Yi was back, the prince rubbed his eyes, cheered up, and asked Shen Yi to sit down.
Shen Yi found a chair in the room and sat down, then took out the paperwork he had been working on for a long time from his arms, and said: "Your Majesty, here are the specific casualties of Linhai Guards that I calculated, as well as the list of people who need to be compensated."
Li Mu waved his hand a little tiredly and said, "I don't want to read a word about this Linhaiwei matter. It's up to you, Ziheng, to make your own decision."
Shen Yi put the paperwork aside and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I stayed in the Linhai Guards camp for a long time and asked them a lot of things. The Linhai Guards are not as bad as we saw, or they are not useless. ."
Shen Yi briefly explained the reasons for Linhaiwei's weakness, and then said: "I will send the Di Reporting Department to slowly verify what Linhaiwei said. However, if what Ling Qianhu said is true, then Linhaiwei's weakness may be It’s not just the fault of Linhai Guard, but the guard system itself has a big problem.”
Seeing that Li Mu was silent, Shen Yi organized his words and continued: "Your Majesty, people from the Wang family..."
"I locked him up."
Li Mu snorted and said, "These people are so tough-talking that they refuse to admit their relationship with the Japanese pirates. I couldn't help but take action. Now some of them are ready to let go."
He said angrily: "Also, a large number of tunnels were discovered underground under the Wang family's mansion. Following these tunnels, you can always find some evidence that the Wang family colluded with Japanese pirates!"
"When the evidence is complete, I will immediately write to the court and ask for the law to kill them!"
I have to say that Li Mu is very particular about what he does.
The emperor gave him the power to make decisions on the fly. He could have directly killed these royal family members and then reported it to the court. But even when he was very angry, he still chose to report it to the court first.
This kind of behavior is very pleasing.
It will make His Majesty the Emperor in Jiankang City feel at ease.
Shen Yi sat opposite Li Mu and said: "Your Majesty, the matter in Taizhou Prefecture naturally needs to be reported, but the imperial court sent us down to quell the Japanese. Now that we have arrived in Taizhou Prefecture, we have suffered a heavy loss from the Japanese pirates."
"At this time, there is no need to rush to report. Let's get rid of the arrogance of the Japanese pirates first, and then report it."
Li Mu looked ugly and said helplessly: "Only the Linhai Guards are available nearby. Even the Linhai Guards can't do anything to deal with the Japanese pirates. How can we defeat the Japanese pirates?"
"Besides, with the lessons learned from the last time, they probably won't come back rashly again."
Shen Yi whispered: "Your Majesty, I thought... they would come again."
Li Mu looked at Shen Yi, his brows softened: "Why do you see that?"
"Because the Wang family's people are still in our hands, and the Wang family's mansion is still in our hands."
"This Japanese pirate obviously cares about the Wang family."
"Since the Wang family's bait is very fragrant, it might as well..."
Mr. Shen put his hands in his sleeves, looked up at Li Mu, and spoke in a calm voice.
