Chapter 548: The Threat of Thousands of Households
After complimenting each other and greeting each other, the prefect Li Huaigu looked at Zhang Jin with a smile: "The Jin Yiwei are the first forbidden army in the capital. If there is no big deal, they will not leave the capital. Zhang Qianhu came to Baoding Prefecture.
yes?"
"After the emperor returned to the capital, the rebel forces that had once caused chaos in the capital disappeared and went into hiding. Even so, the impact of the kidnapping of His Royal Highness on the government and the public cannot be underestimated. I, the Ming Dynasty, have come to the outside world.
Bye, how could the emperor allow this force to continue to exist? This case has been handled by Dongchang, but how could Jinyiwei sit aside and ignore it. So, the commander asked me to come to Baoding Mansion.
Let’s see if we can find some more clues and help Dongchang to completely uncover this group of people as soon as possible.”
Zhang Jin leaned on the back of his chair, clasping his knees with his hands crossed, and said casually as if doing something ordinary.
After hearing this, Li Huaigu probably understood what was going on.
Although he is timid by nature, Li Huaigu is certainly not stupid if he can sit in the position of prefect.
Dongchang has always been responsible for this case. Both the prince and the criminals related to the case were escorted back to the capital by Dongchang.
If you want to know the situation of the other party, the normal interrogation of these criminals is to go back to the empty Baoding City, what else can you find that is useful?
There are vague rumors in the government and the public that the rise of Dongchang has made Jinyiwei a little breathless.
Could it be that Zhang Qianhu's arrival was just to find some flaws in the case handled by Dongchang, so as to take the opportunity to restrain Dongchang and give himself a chance to breathe and make a comeback?
All the actions taken by Dongchang and Baoding Mansion were based on the premise of retrieving the prince, and there was almost nothing to blame. The only flaw was that the entire guard army was killed, which was a bit abrupt.
Li Huaigu felt a little sorry for his guard. After all, this was the only armed force in Baoding Mansion. He approved of Xiao Chen's behavior from the bottom of his heart.
The guards, under the leadership of Qianhu Zhang Meng, have become a little bit disobedient to the control power of the government. Many times they only listen to the orders of the government but do not execute them. If they are allowed to continue to develop, they will threaten the government with force.
It is not impossible to obey their wishes.
If you kill Dongchang well, you can give yourself a reason to rebuild the guard army.
It's just that there are so many people, so to say that they all participated in the rebellion is just a one-sided statement from Dongchang.
Anyway, Dongchang is handling the case in Baoding Prefecture, and the person assisting them is Daning Dusi. From the beginning to the end, the government office was not involved, so how could they know so much inside information? If the Jin Yiwei really wants to ask about the specific situation, let them go
Ask Daning Dusi.
"Dongchang and Jinyiwei are both agencies directly under the emperor, and it is only natural for them to help each other. As long as the rebellious force that kidnapped the prince can be completely eliminated, Qianhu Master can do whatever he needs from Baoding Mansion. Just give him the order." He lifted his chest.
As soon as he stood up, Li Huaigu said very "generously".
Whether he can do it or not is a matter of ability. But his attitude of fully cooperating with Jin Yiwei must be exaggerated no matter what.
"The prefect is very busy every day. I just came here to see if I can find something that Dongchang didn't notice. How can I just ask you to do things for me." Zhang Jin smiled politely, "However,
There are some things that I would like to know from the prefect, and I hope that you will tell me everything."
"Zhang Qianhu said, whatever I know, I will not hide it," Li Huaigu said.
"I heard that the place where the prince was found this time is called Auditing Academy? Dongchang took away some people from the academy, so those who are left behind are all people who have nothing to do with the case?" Zhang Jin picked up the tea bowl in front of him and asked
He took a sip.
"I really don't know about this." Li Huaigu smiled awkwardly: "I didn't know when Dongchang entered Baoding City. I didn't know until Daning Dusi's army surrounded Baoding City.
People from Dongchang had already entered the city and were looking for the whereabouts of the prince. Zhang Qianhu should know that the later Baoding City Guards were also involved in the case. As the direct superiors of the guards, in order to avoid suspicion, the Baoding Mansion even
I didn’t set foot on the crime scene. I don’t even know who was taken away by the academy and who was left behind.”
"So, the Dongchang is in Baoding Prefecture and handles cases directly beyond the government office?" Zhang Jin asked intentionally.
Normally, Dongchang handles cases without having to say hello to anyone, and has the power to handle cases directly. However, this is on the premise that there are no mistakes.
If there is a mistake, such as a mission failure, accidental injury to civilians, or other serious consequences, people will still accuse them of being arrogant and not communicating with local agencies. Various excuses will be used to pursue accountability.
The purpose of Zhang Jin's question was to first determine whether Dongchang had really abandoned Baoding Prefecture. As long as it was confirmed that Dongchang did not communicate with Baoding Prefecture immediately, then if they made even the slightest mistake, Jin Yiwei could report it to the court.
How could Li Huaigu not understand the other party's intentions?
Jin Yiwei couldn't afford to offend him, but Daning Dusi and Dongchang couldn't afford to offend them either.
Now, Daning Dusi seems to have become entangled with Dongchang. If he gives Jin Yiwei an excuse casually, can Daning Dusi stationed next to him get along with him?
Then again, although Dongchang does not have a branch in Baoding, it has also relieved him of a worry. What's more, after several contacts, the purple-clothed captain of Dongchang is not just as cruel as the legend. He considered in his heart
It's more about the court and the people.
For such a relatively upright person, how could I create some excuses for him to fall into the hands of others?
"The kidnapping of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is no less than the outbreak of a large-scale war for the imperial court. As Dongchang, who is in charge of this case, he knows the importance of it. The capital of Daning is right in front of us. These imperial courts who have conquered the world
The combat effectiveness of the defensive army is naturally much stronger than that of the Baoding City Guards. What's more, finding the whereabouts of the prince is a secret matter in itself. Too much movement will only alert the enemy and threaten the prince's safety. Therefore, although Dongchang did not
The Baoding Prefecture of the branch has always maintained contact with Daning Dusi and acted together." Li Huaigu said with a smile.
"Act together?" Zhang Jin narrowed his eyes slightly.
It makes sense to assist in the operation. If they act together, Dongchang intends to give Daning Dusi a share of the credit. While handling the case, he recruits the local defense army. Although the emperor did not give any reward to the purple-clothed captain this time,
With the full support of Daning Dusi, this reward is more substantial than any superficial reward.
"On the eve of the arrest in Dongchang, Daning Dusi's army surrounded the entire Baoding City. After finding the prince, the place where the prince temporarily rested was jointly guarded by Dongchang and Daning Dusi. It can be said that this time,
The cooperation between Dongchang and Daning Dusi was perfect. Not only did they rescue the prince, but they also captured all the people involved in the case," Li Huaigu said.
This time, Li Huaigu did not exaggerate.
Let’s not talk about the secret collusion between our guards and the auditorium. Even if there is no problem with the guards, if they are allowed to cooperate with Dongchang, they will definitely not have this thunderous effect again.
Li Huaigu himself knew very well how effective he was in fighting with the food and salary from the imperial court.
Seeing that the exchange between the two people was becoming increasingly worthless, Zhang Jin simply went straight to the point.
"There are more than a thousand guards in Baoding City, and all of them are rebel forces. Do you believe this, Lord Magistrate? The entire guard army participated in the rebellion. I am afraid that the Lord Magistrate is also responsible for the crime of unfavorable supervision." Zhang Jin said calmly.
The way.
I originally thought that you would really cooperate with Jin Yiwei's investigation.
But as I listen to it, your words seem to be trying hard to smooth things over for Dongchang.
Just because Dongchang has not held you accountable does not mean that you are really not guilty.
The entire guard army is involved in the rebellion, so why do you have the nerve to sit quietly in the government office and continue to preside over the affairs of Baoding Mansion?
Li Huaigu couldn't help but feel startled, and looked up at the other party in surprise.
Is this because you can't find a breakthrough here and start threatening?
Although the Guard Army is controlled by the Baoding Prefecture, it is also a separate military establishment with its own person in charge. He is the prefect of Baoding and is in charge of local government affairs. If something happens to the Guard Army, it is at most his fault for ineffective supervision.
There is an essential difference between this fault and sin.
