Zhu Jiuye came over to meet with Zhou Xin today and discussed that investigating the case was a pretense, and getting to the bottom of the case was the purpose. Seeing that Zhou Xin was not unyielding when he was in a position of power, he felt relieved and said, "Since your Excellency is so reasonable, then let's
Say whatever you have to say."
"That's right." Zhou Xin nodded.
"I have been in Hangzhou for some time. I have seen and heard that Xu Qianhu and the others have gone too far. Xu Yingxian is a new guy here. He is eager to make contributions and his methods are a bit rough. He should be punished properly." Zhu Jiudao: "But we must.
It is impossible to say that he robbed people's property, bullied men and women, and committed all kinds of evil. Although Hangzhou is not Jinei, it is only 600 miles away from the capital. He is also handling an imperial case. How many pairs of eyes are watching from the emperor down?
, How dare you act recklessly?"
"Yeah." Zhou Xin nodded and said, "So what Jiuye means is that Xu Qianhu just ran the errand a little ruthlessly, but he had no selfish motives, right?"
"That's the truth." Zhu Jiu nodded heavily and said with profound meaning: "I have already taught him a lesson. As a Jin Yiwei, I will first express my position to you. As long as your Excellency tries the case in this direction,
, First of all, we will fight Xu Ying back first and replace him with a kind-hearted person; secondly, I respect others as much as I respect others. This is the motto of our Jinyiwei. We will also deal with that huge case.
I hope nothing happens to you."
"..." Zhou Xin pondered for a moment and said: "Since Master Jiu has spoken as a Jinyiwei, I am also speaking to you as an inspector of Zhejiang Province. May I ask whether the Zhejiang Qianhu Office will be abolished and never reestablished?
How big might it be?"
"Is this..." Zhu Jiu frowned and said, "Impossible. The Qianhu Office was established by imperial edict, how can it be abolished?" Are you kidding? Jin Yiwei managed to get involved in Zhejiang with great difficulty, how could he withdraw?
"Then I understand." Zhou Xin nodded and said, "Then we will make a quick decision. Tomorrow we will invite Master Jiu, Xu Qianhu and others to come to the Chasi Yamen, and we will open a court to ask what grievances Xu Qianhu has.
, we can explain it in court, and we will try our best to get a result that can be reported to the emperor and be safe for the common people."
"Okay." Although Zhou Xin didn't say this, at least his attitude was very good. Zhu Jiu didn't expect to be able to convince the cold-faced Hantie once. If he had a good tone this time, he felt that it was worthwhile.
Okay. He also said that the case involved imperial emissaries and should not be tried in public, and that questions in court should be avoided. Zhou Xindu agreed easily.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Zhu Jiu stood up and said goodbye crisply, returning to Qianhu Station.
In May, Jiangnan began to feel the summer heat, which made people a little breathless. The Jinyiwei Qianhu Institute changed from the usual hustle and bustle and became quiet, with no one walking back and forth. There was a big tree in the courtyard.
On the willow trees, there were already cicadas chirping, and the cicada's chirping sound was particularly harsh in the quiet yard.
Xu Qianhu and Xu Yingxian were wearing an impressive Feiyu suit and sat in a daze in the custody room. Most of the buttons on his robe were unbuttoned, partly because of the stuffy heat and mostly because of the anxiety and boredom in his heart. He was not a hero of the Jingnan War and had never been on the battlefield.
, it has only been ten years since he joined the Jinyiwei. The reason why he climbed up so fast is that firstly, he is a fellow villager of the Jinyiwei commander Ji Gang, and secondly, he has been flattering him for several years. He was able to come to Zhejiang this time because he knew the commander Ji Gang.
What did the adults need? I gritted my teeth and paid a high price of five hundred thousand taels of silver a year to snatch away an old man and jumped from a hundred households to a thousand households, and it was a thousand households in the Zhejiang Thousand Household Institute.
Five hundred thousand taels a year, five million taels in ten years. If he can't pay the money by then, the commander will definitely destroy him. Carrying a heavy debt, he came to Hangzhou, and Xu Qianhu began to make money crazily. His subordinates
Those groups of cows, ghosts and snakes naturally took the opportunity to commit lawlessness and bully men and women... Xu Qianhu knew this, but he didn't care. He had been with Ji Gang for a long time and had done a lot of harmful things.
Where to where?
After witnessing with his own eyes the Commander-in-Chief, Lieutenant General Yang Wuhou, the hero of Jingnan's victory in the Imperial Palace, opened a gourd with a gourd, he believed that in this world, I am the king of heaven and I am the first, Commander-in-Chief is second, and all the rest are like quails.
Sure enough, after he whipped an officious official to serious injury, all officialdom in Zhejiang Province became mute. Some people even prepared pearls and donated money and silk to save their families, which made him make another fortune.
But only the inspector, Zhou Xin, had been deliberately trying to get in trouble with him. He first protected the person they wanted to arrest, then secretly collected evidence, and entrusted Hu Qin to prosecute him severely.
Hearing that the emperor was very angry and asked Zhou Xin to try the case, Xu Qianhu was a little scared. But fortunately, he also asked Zhu Jiuye to co-trial, which showed that the emperor still protected Jin Yiwei, which reassured him. Although he and Zhu
Jiu urinates less than a pot, but it is related to Jin Yiwei's dignity, I believe he will be able to carry it out.
No, Zhu Jiuye went to negotiate with Zhou Xin. Even though Zhou Xin was making a fuss, I believe that as soon as the matter that the imperial court was secretly investigating him was revealed, he would figure it out by himself.
...Now that even the sufferer has said that he will not pursue the case, who in the world would be so stupid, insisting on having trouble with Jin Yiwei, and then involving his whole family?
Of course, thinking that it was just a matter of time, he should be nervous when it comes. He has never been like this before, feeling so miserable every second. He was restless and waited until now when he heard the news that Master Jiu was back.
Xu Qianhu jumped up from the chair, buttoning his buttons, and went out to greet Zhu Jiu. When he saw Zhu Jiu, he was like seeing his biological father, and asked repeatedly: "Master Jiu, Master Jiu, how are you doing?"
Zhu Jiu saw that his clothes were disheveled and the buttons were buttoned wrongly. He couldn't help but frowned in disgust and said in a deep voice: "You better prepare yourself for the court hearing tomorrow."
"What did Zhou Zhitai say?" Xu Qianhu asked pitifully, "Can I be accommodating?"
"If I had known today, why bother in the first place." Zhu Jiu glanced at him and said, "Can this kind of thing be finalized? Let's go over tomorrow and take a look. Just act according to the situation. Anyway, he has promised not to appear in court publicly. If he doesn't report it in the end, there will always be something wrong.
Room for slow turn.”
It sounded optimistic, but it was very hypocritical. Xu Qianhu felt uneasy at all. During the meal, he discussed with Zhu Jiu a few words about tomorrow's court appearance, and then went back to discuss it with Du Baihu.
Full of worry, I went to bed.
He didn't sleep a wink all night again. He got up at dawn the next day and asked the soldier to freshen up. Looking at the haggard face in the mirror, he couldn't help but sigh to himself. It was so overwhelming. Then he looked at the clothes on the hanger.
Wearing a yellow flying fish suit, the dragon-like flying fish on it opened its teeth and claws, which gave him great courage, and he groaned:
"Serve the master and put on your clothes. We can't lose the majesty of the royal guards."
Then he put on the flying fish uniform, a wingless black gauze hat on his head, and black leather boots, and walked out of the room with his head held high. Outside the house, fifty Jin Yiwei wearing red flying fish uniforms were already waiting in line under the leadership of Du Baihu, and they all had expressions on their faces.
Like iron, looking at their thousands of households
Xu Qianhu's eyes slowly swept across the crowd, he turned over and mounted the tall horse brought by his own soldiers, and shouted: "Let's go"
"Here!" All the men responded in unison and followed Mr. Qianhu out of the inner courtyard. In the front yard, Zhu Jiu had been waiting there for a long time. Looking at his bluffing posture, he sneered in his heart, "He looked fierce but his heart was full of anger," and then he also got on his horse.
Surrounded by twenty Jin Yiwei who were also wearing red flying fish uniforms, they formed a team with him and marched out of Lu Garden.
These nearly a hundred arrogant and powerful guards were walking on the streets of Hangzhou City. The common people hurriedly got out of the way and stopped by the roadside to watch. After they passed by in a menacing manner, they started talking in low voices:
"Who are we going to arrest again? Such a huge formation?"
"Guan'er is definitely not young..."
"To be fair, I heard from my cousin's third brother-in-law in Zhensi Yamen that Zhou Zhitai is going to interrogate Jin Yiwei at Zhensi Yamen today...
"Really or not, this posture doesn't look like a trial? It's almost enough to raise an army to investigate."
"You don't understand. This is just like negotiating with our gang. No matter what, we have to bring all the troops together. You can't lose the battle if you lose." He was still a gang member, and he revealed the secret with one word.
No matter what, it could not extinguish the enthusiasm of the people to watch the good show, so the crowd began to gather at the Yamen. However, what was disappointing was that the gate of the Yamen was tightly closed, blocking the people far outside the Yamen. It was obviously about to close.
interrogation.
Through the fence, the common people looked at the deep courtyard of the Yamen, wondering what was going on inside...
Zhu Jiu and Xu Ying first entered the gate of Jisi, surrounded by Jin Yiwei. Zhou Xin personally led the crowd to welcome them out, and entered the lobby hand in hand with Zhu Jiu. He was also very polite to Xu Qianhu, and ordered the officials to lead the entourage to the flower hall to rest.
.Unexpectedly, the followers and pro-army soldiers ignored them and only gathered around the two thousand households, refusing to leave even half a step.
Zhou Xin had no choice but to wave the officials to retreat, leaving the guards to do what they wanted.
It’s just that it’s funny. When the second hall was raised, in addition to the third class yamen servants, there were dozens of Jin Yiwei wearing flying fish uniforms and embroidered spring knives on their waists. The yamen guards’ standing duty was to enhance the authority of the hall.
, but under the intimidation of the emperor's own army, how can there be any dignity at all?
Zhou Xin first read the imperial edict with Zhu Jiu, and then sat behind the big case. Zhu Jiu set up a table and sat aside. Xu Qianhu stood under the hall, with nonchalant expressions on his face and a hint of anxiety.
Zhou Xin's eyes slowly swept down the hall, and he saw dozens of guards in imperial uniforms staring at him eagerly inside and outside the second hall. He couldn't help but feel a little pain in his balls. He patted the gavel gently and gently, and said in a deep voice: "Then let's ascend to the hall.
"
Mighty..., the cries of the servants all revealed their guilty conscience, which made the Jinyiwei become even more arrogant.
"According to the order, I want to inquire about the case of the Jinyi Guards who killed thousands of people in Zhejiang and plundered people's property." Fortunately, Zhou Xin's face is not angry and self-proclaimed. This man has a great reputation. He is sitting there with majesty, even though his slightly hoarse voice
After the voice spoke, everyone couldn't help but feel solemn.
