Five hundred and forty-first imperial prison
After hearing Zhang Han's words, everyone laughed. Liu Ji said, "Xiang has already arranged this matter, so I will definitely ask the adults to rest assured. Eight≥1 Chinese ≧ ≦≦﹤.≦<≦≦≦.”
Wang Xiang said: "I chose a six-person action team to follow me. In addition, do you want me to send some additional staff to follow me?"
The bald man squinted his eyes: "Your operation team is mostly trained in the city. When the guards are barely qualified, they will go to the grassland to fight, so don't follow the trouble."
Wang Xiang was displeased when he heard this and said, "The operation team may not be skilled in riding and shooting. Our people have also undergone the best military training!"
The bald man wanted to say something again, Wen Zhong cursed: "Shut up your stinky mouth, you can't even tell me if you know something!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Zhang Han laughed out loud.
Wang Xiang was a little embarrassed just now, and he smiled and scolded Wen Zhong: "What are you good at Wen Zhong? We fought in Xinpingbao. You are not my opponent."
Wen Zhong hummed with a tilted face and ignored Wang Xiang.
Zhang Han said: "Everyone will go, I have something to explain to you."
Everyone thought that Zhang Han wanted to give some instructions on the intelligence work in the capital. These were the highest level secrets. They all stood up and retreated. Xia Xiping bowed and bowed to Zhang Han because he wanted to leave directly. Zhang Han smiled and said, "Let's just give him a military salute next time, you have changed from a civilian to a military position."
Xia Xiping was a little worried when he heard this. Although he had undergone military training, he was really not very adaptable to military life... Some people are like this, very adapted to the stereotyped and regular military life, while others are not necessarily.
After the people in the house walked away, Zhang Han said to Wang Xiang: "Have the people around the Ministry of Justice Prison arranged it?"
"The arrangement is done." Wang Xiang said: "Yesterday, Wang Ji, the Minister of Justice, went to the Zuodu Censor Zhao, Nanxing's mansion. Our people could not hear their secret discussions. They only saw the Donglin Party members coming in and out. Yang Lian and Gao Panlong Zuo Guangdou and others were there. In addition, the people from the Zuo Mansion said that there was a Henan Juzi named Shi Kefa. This guy was a student of Zuo Guangdou. He discussed with Zuo Guangdou a few days ago and must bring Zhang Xuzong to the Ministry of Justice... From a legal perspective, Wang Xinyi was considered an important imperial prisoner and went directly to the Jinyiwei Edict Prison. Zhang Xuzong was best tried by the Three Juris. Even if the emperor and Wei Zhongxian would not agree for the time being, they would still get Zhang Xuzong when things were indifferent."
Zhang Han knocked on the table with his finger and said, "They want to get Zhang Xuzong in their hands so that they can use this case in the future."
"As pretty much the same idea." Wang Xiang said: "Wang Xinyi's affairs made the Donglin Party extremely passive. The reasons for impeaching Wei Zhongxian were mostly stolen, and even citing the internal court, which was absurd. The emperor was very angry. Ye Xiang, the senior Donglin boss, strictly restrained those younger generations, and Wan Jing and others were killed by sticks. The Donglin Party felt that Wei Zhongxian was really angry this time. For a while, except for a few who were really not afraid of death, there might not be anyone who jumped out again. Previously, Wang Wenyan and others often had secret meetings, and recently this secret meeting has also stopped. So I think that recently they just wanted to get Zhang Xuzong slowly, and take it out to overturn the case after half a year, and the time is right."
"Those people are cooked ducks, and their mouths are hard when they die." Zhang Han knew that Emperor Tianqi issued two consecutive edicts to the Censorate yesterday afternoon and this morning, both of which severely warned the censors to put state affairs first and not to harm state affairs with party struggles. It can be said that the Censors have been grasping the recent actions of all, and the censors have indeed become quite arrogant.
How the Emperor of Ming Dynasty used and controlled censors was an obvious symbol of the different levels of the emperor's mind.
The methods of the Apocalypse are still very immature. Because of the difficulties in state affairs, he chose a one-size-fits-all approach in the short term. Several consecutive imperial edicts mean that they are very simple. In recent times, I will shut up all of them!
It is also a very clear signal to indulge Wei Zhongxian to kill Wan Tong and others.
"The emperor's mind is also very amazing." Wang Xiang sighed: "Even if you lift Eunuch Wei too high, something will happen in the future."
"That's another trouble." Zhang Han knew the direction of history, so of course he couldn't talk about it with Wang Xiang. He said: "I won't say too much about it. As soon as Zhang Xuzong was transferred to the Ministry of Justice, he immediately arranged someone to finish the man."
Wang Xiang said seriously: "Please rest assured, this person will only last three days."
"What if I go to Jinyi Guard?"
Wang Xiang smiled and said, "That's more convenient. The rules of the Ministry of Justice's prison are actually bigger than those of the Northern Institute. The Northern Institute just sounds scary. From the custody to the prison head, he dares to collect the money when he gives money. He is much more courageous than those of the civil servants."
"Okay." Zhang Han stood up and said in a deep voice: "This matter starts with Zhang Xuzong and ends with Zhang Xuzong. He is my clan brother, but there is no need to discuss this matter. When you start, you don't have to give him too much pain."
Wang Xiangsu said: "Yes, my subordinates can save it."
Zhang Han was indeed a little emotional. Zhang Xuzong was an acquaintance around him and was still a serious blood relative in this life. However, he decided his life and death in these few words. No one could save this person, including those who were determined to use Zhang Xuzong... The group of people in the Donglin Party had no idea about the spy methods at all. Their methods were very crude. It can be seen that the three major cases in the Wanli period were indeed difficult to investigate. The other two cases were at the same level as children. In comparison, these subordinates who helped Zhang Han do secret activities were already very mature after several years of training. The key was to run a good network of relationships, which made them more comfortable when doing things and helped Zhang Han even more.
Not long after noon, Zhang Han quietly left the capital. Before that, Xia Xiping and others had left. A big storm suddenly came, but after Zhang Han's various efforts and efforts, it finally calmed down.
Shortly after Zhang Han and others left, Xu Dahua and his party finally arrived in the capital.
It was a waste of dust along the way. June is the hottest season of the year. There are no trees on the official road. There has been no rain for a long time recently. The floating soil of the entire official road can cover people's ankles. Most of the time, people have to walk. Even if they ride horses, they cannot be on horseback all day. A gust of wind blows, making people feel that the loess wants to bury their bodies. In this weather, only a few merchants are rushing on the official road. They are also in a hurry. When approaching the capital, the hundred people following Xu Dahua saw the familiar camel fleet. They all breathed a sigh of relief. They felt that the capital was in sight, and their home was right in front of them, and their paces were a lot faster.
After entering the city gate, except for Xu Dahua and a group of prisoners, everyone's heads and faces were covered with dust, and their clothes could not be seen clearly. After entering the city, they could not disband and rest. Xu Dahua received the latest edict at the city gate. Zhang Xuzong and others were sent to the Ministry of Justice Prison, and Wang Xinyi was sent to the Beizhen Fushi Prison.
The vehicles were scattered in front of a gate, and there were not many people watching the fun around them. The weather was too hot, and the air under the sun seemed to be twisted. People were all under the eaves where air convection was flowing or under the trees. Only children ran around tiredly. When they were hot, they went to the well to take a shower, and then drank cold water in big mouthfuls.
Rich people will eat watermelons from Jingshui Town at home in this weather and also have iced sour plum soup. Of course, they will not come to the streets in this weather.
Xu Dahua wanted to pay the order, and at the same time sent Wang Xinyi to the Beizhen Fushi. He divided the convoy into two groups. The few people sent Zhang Xuzong and others to prisoners, and the many people escorted Wang Xinyi to the Beizhen Fushi.
Xu Dahua was also a little nervous. Judging from the diversion of prisoners, the Donglin Party still had an absolute advantage in the outer court. In addition, even the Jinyiwei was not safe. The Jinyiwei's palm seal was appointed by Wang An. From the command of the palm seal to the Qianhu in the North Office, no one on the line of Wei Zhongxian. Judging from the fact that Zhang Xuzong was sent to the Ministry of Justice, the Donglin Party still had an advantage, but the advantage was not as great as before.
"I guess the next step for Wei Taishou is to serve as the admiral of the East Factory, and then take the Jinyiwei into his pocket. The next time is the time to fight again with the Donglin Party."
At this time, the Donglin Party and Wei Zhongxian have both chosen to give in for a while. Xu Dahua is also a smart person and has some insights from clues.
The address of the Jinyiwei North Institute is the lobby and prison of the Ministry of Justice in the Qing Dynasty. It is not as gloomy as outsiders imagine. It is as regular as the official office, gate, screen wall, horse-drawn stone, horse-tie pile, and Shenming Pavilion. It is all available. After entering through the side door, there is a staircase that avoids the main office and goes straight to the north. There is a huge courtyard inside, square and buildings in the north and south. There are some trees planted in the courtyard, but they are not growing very much, and they have not been able to provide shade under such a scorching sun.
Xu Dahua completed the procedures, and the Jinyiwei from the Fufu Department came over to open the prison car and lifted Wang Xinyi off the car.
After traveling a long distance, he stayed in a small prison car. Fortunately, Xu Dahua took good care of Wang Xinyi, his old colleague, and did not abuse him. Wang Xinyi's expression was just a shudder.
After getting off the car, Wang Xinyi's expression had become extremely frightened. He looked around and was covered with the evil-looking Jinyiwei. He immediately said to Xu Dahua: "Mr. Xu, I hope to give the criminal a life and send the criminal to the Ministry of Justice!"
"I'm sorry." Xu Dahua shook his head and said, "It's an edict to send you to the Northern Institute. How can I send you to the Ministry of Justice without authorization?"
Wang Xinyi felt that he had already cried, and he said, "But it's really wrong for the offender, it's really wrong."
At this time, Wang Xinyi had no conceit and courage as the censor of the capital, nor did he have the decent honor of being a prisoner of the capital. He begged for mercy every time, and he was like a child.
Xu Dahua just shook his head and said, "You are a rebellious case. Forget it, you can't impeach others. You dare to speculate on the affairs of the inner court without authorization, catching wind and shadow, and having defiled holy virtue, others can't save you."
Wang Xinyi shouted when he heard this: "It's really wrong. The memorial was definitely not written by the offender, but someone pretended to be a fake!"
Xu Dahua just shook his head when he heard this. At this time, a few strong men from the Jinyiwei came over. Everyone was very experienced. After removing the wooden shackles on Wang Xinyi's head, they immediately lifted them up and left. Wang Xinyi wanted to scream and struggle. At this time, someone stuck in his throat. Wang Xinyi suddenly started to retching and could no longer make a sound. After a moment, tears and snot flowed down together-
