Chapter 699: Everything is ready
Duke Jing's face was changing. He thought for a while and said, "Is there any physical evidence?"
The same is true for personal evidence, but for a family background like the Zheng family, it is absolutely impossible to have no physical evidence; how could the old fox, Duke Jing, not understand?
Tong Guan laughed and said, "Of course there are, and the goods in the three warehouses have been searched. All three of them belong to the Zheng family." Then, he glanced at Yang Xi, glared at him and scolded, "Why don't you go down and think about your mistakes quickly? Then you will naturally have your use."
Yang Xi withdrew.
The Dukes and Mausoleums in this hall all showed playful smiles on their faces at this time. To impeach the Zheng family, of course, they had to be charged with provocation. The word "engagement" is not as good as treason, but it was almost the same. They beat snakes and seven inches. Now there are all evidences and physical evidence, and some of them will be well looked at on the day of the imperial examination.
Tong Guandao: "How about Duke Jing and Duke Mao, why not just focus on colluding with the enemy?"
Duke Jing smiled faintly and said, "It's rare that Eunuch Tong has an idea, it's easy to say, and it's easy to say." He couldn't help but stroke his beard and said, "Just do it like this. On the day of the imperial trial, I brought people to the hall to impeach the Zheng family personally. There are more than 100 memorials here, and Eunuch Tong is waiting to see the good news."
Tong Guan smiled again and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Tong has actually prepared a hundred memorials."
"Oh?" Duke Jing couldn't help but say, "Is it from Sanbian?"
Tong Guan said seriously: "The Zheng family has been rampant in the Three Counties for many years. The generals in the army dare not speak out. What's more, a batch of fur goods are scarce on the Three Counties. They ordered from the Zheng family. They actually used inferior products as good ones and asked for prices everywhere. Such behaviors, the family would have long complained about the imperial court."
The Duke of Jing thought to himself that Tong Guan was prepared, and this person should not be underestimated. He smiled and said, "This is better. We sued the Zheng family to collude with enemies. You sued the Zheng family for fraud. I should go back and prepare. Eunuch Tong, say goodbye."
The Dukes and Mausoleums scattered, Tong Guan personally sent them out, returned to the hall, closed their eyes, and couldn't help but smile faintly. He called an adopted son and said, "Give all the memorials of the generals."
After a while, the adopted son brought a box and unpacked it. There were memorials in one by one. Tong Guan picked up a piece of memorials and looked at it for a while. He was quite content. These memorials were naturally written by him under his instruction. The memorials did not directly point out the matters of the Zheng family. While beating the Zheng family, he also shaved a little on the face of King Pingxi. While impeaching the Zheng family, he also scolded King Pingxi, saying that when King Pingxi went in and out of the Western Xia, he often had a great show when passing by the three sides, and the military and civilians were unable to bear the disturbance.
This crime is said to be a crime, but it is not a question. It is just a small mistake. The reason why Tong Guan did this was to hit Shen Ao gently to show that there was no relationship between the three sides and Shen Ao. Otherwise, so many sides would stand up and talk to King Pingxi. What would the Tian family think? If such a thing is not good, it will help the Zheng family. So while beating the Zheng family hard, he also said that the reason is that King Pingxi is not.
Tong Guan sat for a while before he stood up. The next day he would be the imperial inspector. There were so many things to do. Although it was dark, he changed into the purple gold suit for traveling and ordered people: "Prepare horses and go to the Duke of Wei County."
Under the bleak moonlight, the Duke of Wei County seems particularly quiet. Near the Duke of Wei County, there are houses with prominent high-ranking officials. Although the night is dark, with the arrival of the imperial trial period, the owners of each family are preparing. In this game of either one or the other, some want to be promoted, some want to consolidate their status, some want to curry favor with the tycoons in the court, some want to vent their personal anger, and some want to avenge their public revenge. Taking advantage of the storm, it is impossible to protect yourself. If you don’t get rid of others, others will come to kill you. So unlike the peace before, at this time
The doors of the mansions of each family are very lively. For example, from dark to now, it takes two hours, and guests come to the door almost every once in a while. The guests either greet their children and nephews, teachers and students, or officials, or officials. When they enter this deep gate, they immediately lead them to a quiet small hall with lanterns. They don’t talk much. Everyone is smart. The person who comes directly takes out a memorial and asks the Duke of Wei to take a look. On the surface, they ask the Duke of Wei to give some advice. In fact, they surrender and tell the Duke of the Duke of the County that the Duke of the County is willing to serve the work of a lot of horses.
These memorials include impeaching the Zheng family, impeaching Li Bangyan, and impeaching Huaizhou merchants. Just like a smelly egg, it is already surrounded by flies, no one is necessarily cleaner than anyone else. The day after tomorrow, it is the time when everyone exposes the ugliness. It depends on who has more ugly things and who has thick-skinned face.
Quartz is well aware of the principles here, so he treats everyone very well and dare not be negligent. A true best friend will not come at this time. With one look and another, everyone will know what to do, how to vent, and how to bite them tightly. Most of the people who come here are fences. Today he surrenders to you and acts as a pawn for you. After a few days, he may be irreconcilable with you. At this critical moment, naturally, the more people he wins over, the better. Since the Yuanyou Party, forming a party in the court has been made public. Whoever has a strong momentum and has more people will often take the lead. In fact, to put it bluntly, this is no different from the street fighting of the ruffians. It is just that scholars catch pens and swords, and the ruffians use swords to cut each other, and they will splatter blood for five steps, and no one is more polite.
At the third update, a carriage quickly arrived at the Duke's Mansion. The people who came were actually the border troops of Taiyuan City. There were dozens of them, one in military uniform and pressed the hilt of the knife around his waist. The leader was a Yuhou. The Duke of Yu jumped off the horse and then bowed to the gate under the stone steps in front of the mansion, saying, "Can Duke Wei be in the mansion? Please inform me, and I said that we were ordered by the Governor Liang and according to the wishes of King Pingxi."
He summoned two big figures in one sentence, and of course his disciples did not dare to neglect them, especially when it came to King Pingxi, and he could not be hasty. He hurriedly said, "Soldier Master, please stay." He went in quickly to report.
Then dozens of guards from the Duke of the County, asked the Taiyuan border troops to drive the carriage into the mansion. The leader Yu Hou was led by someone to a study room. Quartz was sitting in the study room. He was a little older than a year ago. His temples were gray and his eyes were loose. It was obvious that he had not slept well for several days. Only those eyes looked extremely sharp. He only glanced at the Duke of Yu, then withdrew the sharpness in his eyes and said lightly: "Is it Governor Liang Jianliang who asked you to come?"
Mr. Yu knelt on one knee and said aloud: "That's right, Governor Liang said that before King Pingxi returned to Bianjing, he had instructed him to bring something back. With such things, the Zheng family would undoubtedly die. Therefore, he ordered the last general to escort the army along the way. Finally, he was lucky to have a good fortune. He came before the imperial trial and asked Duke Wei to accept it."
Quartz couldn't help but say, "What's it?"
The Marquis of Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Governor Liang said that this is a magic weapon. With it, it is enough to kill the heads of the Zheng family of 127 people."
Quartz jaw nodded and said, "You should take a break for the time being, I understand."
The Hou Yu said embarrassedly: "The General of the Mo is going to return to Taiyuan tomorrow. Can the Duke give the General of the Mo? Just say that the thing has been received, so let the General of the Mo go back and have an explanation."
Quartz smiled and said, "It seems that such a caution is really a treasure." He took a letter paper from the desk, wrote a pen and wrote a letter casually, folded it, put it in the letter tube, and asked someone to put it on the fire paint, and handed it to the Hou Yu, saying, "This trip is hard. If King Pingxi can be safe and sound, you will be a great achievement. At that time, you will definitely be able to continue your contribution."
The Hou Yu said: "It is a great honor for the last general to do things for His Highness Pingxi. How dare you reward him?" He said it without any politeness. It was entirely out of sincerity. Not to mention that the King Pingxi defeated the Jurchen Iron Cavalry, at least among the middle and lower officers, he became the object of worship, even if he did it in Taiyuan, it was enough to be convinced.
Quartz nodded, and when the Yuhou left, Quartz called his family and said, "Take the things they escorted over."
The one who brought in was three large boxes, each of which was quite large. Quartz was stunned and dismissed the outsiders, opened one of the boxes, looked at them briefly, and immediately showed a look of shock in his eyes. Then he closed the box hard and fell into thinking again.
Someone else reported outside: "Mr. Duke, Master Tong Guantong asked for a meeting."
Quartz came to his senses and asked someone to remove the box, seal it carefully, and sat back on his seat as if nothing had happened, saying, "Please come in."
As soon as Tong Guan entered the study, he smiled heartily and said, "Wang County Duke is fine?"
When Quartz was young, he also spent Jin in the army. He and Tong Guan both went to Jiangnan to suppress the rebellion of Pingfang La. They said that there was no extraordinary friendship and they were always familiar with each other. When Cai Jing was in power, Quartz was always an unfair Cai faction in the court. However, Tong Guan at that time, for the sake of his future, he was fully responsible for the matter of Hua Shigang in the Suzhou and Hangzhou. Now that King Pingxi ordered them to stand together, it was a bit of a good idea.
Quartz smiled and raised his hand and said, "Please sit down with Eunuch Tong."
Tong Guan sat down sharply, raised his eyes, looked at Shi Ying, and said, "I believe the Duke of Wei County is also aware of the situation in the family, but I don't know how well Duke Wei County is prepared?"
Quartz didn't hide it from him. Tong Guan entered Beijing at this time, and his nephew was in the Ministry of Justice Prison. He had already shared the same relationship with Shen Ao. If he said suspicion at this time, it would be a fantasy. He said seriously: "The Censor General Zeng Wen has already contacted him, and the others have a clue."
Tong Guan sighed and said, "Everything is ready, but the east wind is not available."
Quartz smiled and said, "The east wind has just been sent."
Tong Guan said in shock: "Why did your husband say this?"
Quartz was silent for a moment before saying, "Eunuch Tong will wait and see. King Pingxi had already arranged everything before he took the lock. What he had to do now is to sit and watch the sky turn upside down and the earth shakes."
