Chapter seven hundred and sixty-six: the hard-pressed investigation duo
Li Yangzheng, Minister of Justice and Xue Fengxiang, Minister of Works, came to the street. Looking at the mess, he felt really uncomfortable.
After all, they are all officials of the court and one of the most elite people in the world today. Seeing the common people appear to be like this, people's hearts are full of flesh, and few of them are heart-warming.
However, neither of them showed it to their faces, and they had something more to worry about.
This big explosion was too bizarre. You said it was just an arsenal explosion. It could not be so powerful that it could uproot the big tree and the three thousand kilograms of stone lion was thrown several miles away, and even affected Tongzhou several kilometers away.
But if you want to tell me what is hidden this time, no one knows whether there is the mastermind behind this, or whether the Wang Gongchang disaster was artificial, they don’t know at all.
To take a step back, even if there is a mastermind behind it, it is impossible to find out the real mastermind in five days.
Just look at the current situation on the street, I am afraid that Wang Gongchang will be even worse, so I found the relevant person and asked them all, but it could not be stopped in less than ten days or half a month.
The two looked at each other and walked towards the outskirts of the capital with firm steps.
It’s not OK to be unstable. If you can’t find out, one of them is a black hat that cannot be saved, and the other is that their lives are gone.
If there is such a big thing under the emperor's feet, if there is no reasonable explanation and convinced people in the world, a large number of people will be involved from top to bottom.
Wang Gongchang is under the Ministry of Works, and Xue Fengxiang, the Minister of Works, will definitely be the one who took the blame and was killed. He knows this better than anyone else.
If you want to escape this disaster, you can only investigate the case in these five days!
The Ministry of Justice is in charge of the world's criminal prisons. As the highest-ranking judicial yamen, Wang Gongchang's case must be handed over to them. This is a formal procedure.
If you can't find out why, Li Yangzheng, the Minister of Justice, might not have any worries about his life, but it is necessary to resign to thank the world.
When you go home, everyone in your hometown will know how you were dismissed from office by the court. Where will you put your old face?
Xue and Li are the highest-level officials and must be punished. Then, under them, Wang Gongchang is the radius, a large number of relevant people will be implicated.
Those who should be dismissed will be dismissed, and those who should be investigated and dealt with!
For what? It's just to block the mouths of all people!
Then this is not enough, because this kind of thing has never happened before, it can be said to be unprecedented and has a great impact.
The spread of rumors is now a thousand times faster than good news. In five days, the news of the natural disaster in Wang Gongchang spread throughout Jifu.
In less than half a month, this news will spread all over the country with the endless pace of merchants and pedestrians, and the mouths of the Donglin Party members who can make money and make gods!
It would be too late to prove something at that time!
If the court did not find anything useful to use within these five days, even the emperor Zhu Youxiao would not be spared.
The people will think, you are the emperor, why did this dynasty have such a big deal? Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you, the emperor?
Is it because the eunuch party caused trouble to the court, and was it because the army was rampant and the killings were very serious?
It seems that what the Donglin Party said is true. This is a warning to the dynasty!
Rumors cannot be eliminated by themselves, they will only become more and more evil as they spread. Moreover, this thing relies on people's hearts and its power is more shaking the foundation of the Ming Dynasty than a major rebellion!
At that time, at least a self-criticism was waiting for Zhu Youxiao to worship the ancestor temple for review, repent, and even eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name. These were inevitable.
The human heart is an invisible knife, and I always want to tear apart the Ming Dynasty!
Xue Fengxiang and Li Yangzheng are both the best in the officialdom, and all kinds of open and secret arrows have come. How could they not know the true meaning of the emperor summoning him?
After all, it is an indisputable fact that the Ministry of Works is in charge of Wang Gong Factory, so the Ministry of Works must have a name inside to deal with this matter.
As for the Ministry of Justice, let alone, it is a formal judicial procedure to hand over such major cases to the Ministry of Justice.
But what about Emperor Apocalypse, did he really ask them to investigate the case?
Not.
Now the power of the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei is greater than each other, one of which is the supervisory authority throughout the world, and the other relies on the identity of the emperor's personal army, and even the royal relatives dare not provoke him.
How could it be really the turn of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Justice to take charge of such a major case?
As for Dali Temple, there is no authority to interfere in this matter, let alone assist in the trial of the case.
Among the various judicial yamen in the Ming Dynasty, Dali Temple was the one with the least number, and Emperor Tianqi did not pay attention to it, so they did not have much power in this dynasty.
The two of them were walking on the street, and they knew it was clear that the emperor had already suggested more than once that this time, this time, they were both here to put it bluntly.
The real thing to investigate the case is not the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Justice, but the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei!
Of course, there is also a hidden house, a secret institution that everyone except Zhu Youxiao did not know.
What the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Justice has to do in the past five days is not to find the real murderer behind the scenes, but to make up a reason for the court to deal with the upcoming rumors and slander.
Of course, this reason cannot be to just take someone as a scapegoat.
The explosion in Wang Gongchang is so big that the whole world is paying attention to it. He acts so carelessly, and it makes a joke when it comes out, forcing the emperor to kill people.
What they mainly do in the past five days is to find some clues and then set fires accordingly.
They don’t care whether this person is the real murderer or not. They just magnify these clues, and then let their disciples go out and follow the trend to make some fun, and then they will be the murderer.
As long as these evidences seem perfect, all civil and military officials in the court will help wipe their butts. After all, no one wants such a thing to be really involved.
When that time comes, Zhu Youxiao will turn a blind eye and deal with this matter first on the surface.
As for secretly, if the real murderer is found, he will never give up.
Walking, Xue Fengxiang and Li Yangzheng came to Dongcheng District. Before they could reach Chongwenmen in the outer city of the capital, this place was a miserable scene that was completely different from the Zhongcheng District just now.
There are still four or five miles away from the Chongwenmen to the Wanggong Factory in the suburbs of Beijing.
Going out of Chongwen Gate to the east, and going to the outer wall of the capital and outside the Dongguan, there are five yards, thirty-seven signs, and one hundred and ninety-nine villages.
In Yishitazhai Village, the easternmost part of the east, we arrived at the westmost factory building of Wanggong Factory, which was still a distance from the warehouse where gunpowder was stored.
But here, you can already see the thick smoke from Wang Gong Factory far away.
The streets were even more devastated.
If only about 50% of the houses in Zhongcheng District were damaged, 70% or even 80% of the houses here could no longer be able to live in.
Most of the government offices cannot continue to use. Walking on the street, they are all people who cough and cry.
On both sides of the road, many houses have been tilted and are shaking.
