Shen Liang thought about this clearly and knew that he could not delay any longer. If Zhang Yanling really asked for a confession from Liang Chun and Qian Baichuan, he would be implicated. Even with Mou Bin's protection, things would be extremely difficult.
It's not a trivial matter to take advantage of your salary and cheat your salary, it will really cost you your head.
Shen Liang no longer hesitated and stumbled out.
When Liang Chun saw Shen Liang was about to leave, he lay on the ground and shouted: "Shen Qianhu! Save me!"
Shen Liang turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Brother Liang, Brother Qian, if someone wants to frame you, I will never sit idly by. You two, please be patient for now, and I will definitely clear your grievances. Remember, shut up." Shut your mouths and don't talk nonsense, lest you give others a handle and be framed, do you understand?"
How could Liang Chun and Qian Baichuan not know what Shen Liang meant? Shen Liang told them that they must grit their teeth and not confess him, otherwise they would be convicted and there would be no turning back.
"Obsession! I obey!" Liang Chun and Qian Baichuan could only respond in a low voice. But they themselves also understood that Jin Yiwei's torture was severe and cruel, and they might not be able to withstand it. But now their only hope is to wait for Shen Liang to save them. , there is no other way.
Shen Liang and the other three hundred households supported each other and stumbled toward the door. Several guards at the door blocked them with angry glares.
"Let Shen Qianhu and the others go," Zhang Yanling said solemnly.
The guards moved out of the way, and Shen Liang opened the door. The sunlight outside was dazzling and dizzying. Shen Liang stepped out and looked back at Zhang Yanling, who was sitting on the chair with a sneer and slowly raised his hands.
"Master Zhang, Shen Liang will remember what happened today and take leave."
Zhang Yanling chuckled and said: "Shen Qianhu, I know you will remember it, so there is no need to tell me specifically. Go quickly and find a doctor to check on the injury, so as not to become disabled. You two have hundreds of households under your command. You assist in the investigation, after all, you are your subordinate, and after their crimes are proven, you will not be able to escape the blame."
Shen Liang sneered, turned around and limped away with three hundred households.
The meeting dispersed shortly after. Zhang Yanling did not announce the crimes of others, but once again emphasized the decision of those who had extended their hands to surrender within three days and forget the blame. On the one hand, everyone was glad to have escaped, but on the other hand, they were angry. , it is actually very common in the yamen to deduct the salary of the lieutenant under his command, not only now, but also in the past. This is actually a way for the Jinyiwei officials to make money, and the previous governors turned a blind eye. If not, but Zhang Yanling pierced this layer of paper, it not only cut off everyone's financial path, but also poked a hornet's nest.
If this kind of thing is investigated, not only the Nanzhen Fusi Yamen, but also the entire Jinyiwei Yamen, large and small officials will be implicated. This guy is ignorant of the depth and importance, and has cut off the wealth of many people. Someone will definitely do it. Come to diagnose and treat him. This man has committed public outrage but doesn't know it. He probably won't be able to stay alive for long.
When everyone dispersed, Zhang Yanling stopped Zhang Yin.
"Zhang Qianhu, please stay."
Zhang Yin stood still and said in a deep voice: "What are your orders, Master Zhenfu?"
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Zhang Qianhu has any thoughts on what I did today."
Zhang Yin frowned and said, "I don't have any ideas. Lord Zhenfu wants to rectify the yamen, which is good. I am innocent, and I have nothing to confess to Lord Zhenfu. I don't know about these things, and there is nothing I can do to help Lord Zhenfu." of."
Zhang Yanling nodded and said, "You don't have any suggestions for what I should do?"
Zhang Yin pondered for a moment and said, "What are you going to do with Liang Chun and Qian Baichuan? Do you want to ask about the export supply?"
Zhang Yanling smiled and shook his head and said: "No, I have no such plan. I am just escorting them. Someone will come to rescue them. I can't ask them, so I won't bother."
Zhang Yin nodded slightly and said: "Your Excellency, you have already thought about what to do. My humble suggestion is no longer necessary. I will resign."
Zhang Yanling stepped forward with a smile and whispered: "Zhang Qianhu, thank you very much."
Zhang Yin asked: "Thank me for what?"
Zhang Yanling chuckled and said: "Of course you understand, you helped me, of course I want to thank you. Don't worry, I, Zhang Yanling, will not let others help me in vain. You have helped me a lot, and I will repay you."
Zhang Yin raised his eyebrows and said: "My humble position is not good at guessing riddles. I don't understand what the Lord is talking about. My humble position does not help you much."
Zhang Yanling chuckled, cupped his hands and said, "Zhang Qianhu can do what he wants."
Zhang Yin said nothing, cupped his hands and turned to leave.
The sun was shining brightly, and the late spring sun was already very hot. It illuminated the stone steps at the entrance of the hall with white flowers, reflecting the white light like mirrors inlaid with strips.
A few bold birds flew down from the trees and landed on the steps, where some crumbs of food were scattered. Those were snack dregs scattered on the lapels of the Jinyiwei officials who had left not long ago. The birds were chirping.
Standing, they even jumped on the threshold and peered into the room. They looked curiously at a group of people sitting quietly in the room like clay and wood sculptures. If they had any thoughts, they would definitely wonder why these people were sitting motionless in the room.
As if waiting for someone to arrive.
Zhang Yanling sat on the chair with his back straight and his eyes slightly squinted, as if he was taking a nap. Behind him, Chen Shiyi and Zhao Yuancheng stood motionless on the left and right. More than a dozen personal guards stood tall.
The breasts stand on both sides of the long window, really like clay and wood sculptures.
The only people moving in the room were Liang Chun and Qian Baichuan, who had their hands and feet tied up and thrown under the wall. These two people originally thought they would be tortured to extract confessions, but in fact, after everyone left, Zhang Yanling and others never talked to them again.
They just tied the two people up and threw them aside. This made the two people a little overwhelmed. At this moment, they stared at Zhang Yanling and others with panic eyes, not knowing what they would face next.
.
The sun rose little by little, and the quiet atmosphere was instantly broken. The birds on the steps were the first to feel it. They fluttered their wings and flew into the canopy. At the same time, there was a rapid and chaotic sound outside the courtyard.
According to the footsteps, many people seemed to be walking quickly into the yard.
Zhang Yanling's squinted eyes opened, and a smile flashed in them.
"It should be here!" Zhang Yanling said solemnly.
"Your Excellency knows things like a god, and I admire you even though I am humbled by my position." Chen Shiyi said in a low voice.
Zhang Yanling stood up with a smile, walked to the door and stood waiting. Soon a tall figure appeared in the sunshine at the entrance of the hall, surrounded by a large group of royal guards. The leader was tall and burly, with thick black eyebrows tightly knitted.
Even in the sunshine, his expression seemed to be covered by gloomy dark clouds. But the moment he saw Zhang Yanling, the dark clouds receded and his smile bloomed.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Yanling, comes to see Mr. Mou." Zhang Yanling bowed and said loudly.
