Setting up a set

Tang Feng's words were quite shocking, which made the three civil servants present in Zhejiang so shocked that they could not speak for a long time. He never dreamed that Tang Feng would really have an imperial order. But then the three of them became confused again. After the case occurred on their own, they submitted details and the speed of the Beijing War Department. There was no reply yet. How could Tang Feng have invited all the imperial orders in such a short time? Even though he was deeply trusted by the emperor and had the channels of the Jinyiwei, it was impossible to be so fast. No, there must be a fraud in this! This was the conclusion that the three of them unanimously reached after silence.

Finally, the first person in Feng Keyan couldn't help but say: "Mr. Tang is not a joke. Don't scare me with this. If you really have the imperial edict, why don't you take it out on the court just now?"

Tang Feng did not take their suspicions seriously and smiled: "Since the three adults have doubts about this, the official can only offend him. Zhang Tai, come in!" With his greeting, Zhang Tai, who was waiting outside, strode into the hall. He was carrying a long strip of yellow silk on his back. At the signing of Tang Feng, he took it down and handed it to Tang Feng. This was the secret order that Chongzhen handed him over to him before Tang Feng left Beijing. Xiong Hui used it as a basis for the generals leading from Suzhou and Nanjing. After Jiande's goodbye, he returned it to Tang Feng.

Tang Feng untied the bag quickly and carefully took out a scroll with yellow silk face from it. While unfolding it, he spoke with a serious face and shouted: "Is the will!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Although I was very surprised, the three of them did not dare to be negligent. As soon as they saw Tang Feng really issued an imperial edict, they immediately left their seats and knelt down, shouting loudly. Zhang Siyuan and Feng Keyan were even more distressed, knowing that this time the matter was really not good.

"I ordered the Jinyiwei Mentor Tang Feng to inspect all parts of the south of the Yangtze River to check for omissions and fill in the gaps, but any illegal activities can be investigated and acted cheaply. The government offices and the military troops of the garrisons in various places must obey their moderation and mobilize them. I respect this!" After Tang Feng slowly read this simple secret decree, the three of them gave him a great ceremony to the emperor and his ministers, and then stood up. At this time, the three of them became much more respectful to see his color. It turned out that he was not asking for the emperor's imperial edict to let him take charge of the matter, but he had the power to supervise the local area. To put it more clearly, he was the imperial envoy. This reduced the three of them's original confidence in winning.

After putting away the imperial edict again, Tang Feng said: "It turns out that I don't want to take it out, but since Lord Yan just said that I had acted irreverently, I can only take it out. I guess the adults are very clear about the meaning of doing this cheap. I don't know that this flood caused by my official intervention in Jiande can be within the cheap."

Although he was very angry at his behavior that had gained the upper hand, the situation was stronger than others, and the three of them still had to nod and said, "Of course, since Lord Tang was carrying the imperial edict, he naturally had the power to inquire about all matters in Zhejiang. I didn't know the details before, so please forgive me!" Tang Feng no longer represented an imperial edict, but the emperor behind him, and the titles of several people also changed.

Their reactions were all in Tang Feng's expectation. He smiled and said, "Several polite adults, those who don't know will not be guilty. Of course, I will not blame you for some of your words. Okay, now, let's get back to the point, may I listen to me and tell you what I know about the flood in Jiande?"

"Sir, please tell me." Although the few people were uneasy, the matter could no longer stop Tang Feng from interfering.

"Everyone also knows that the spies of my Jinyiwei are all over the Ming Dynasty, and Zhejiang is naturally no exception. This matter starts with the subordinates of my Jinyiwei. After the Jiande floods, the spies of my Jinyiwei were arrested, and the spies of my Jinyiwei reported to me that this matter was something else, and that someone deliberately destroyed the embankment, which led to the tragic incident of the flooding of the entire Jiande county. The county magistrate Xiong Can was only framed.

"Of course, I will not believe the one-sided words of my subordinates. For the sake of caution, I took people to Jiande to check. Unexpectedly, after I arrived there, I not only found out that the incident was indeed different, but also discovered a strange thing. Someone actually took advantage of the situation and robbed there under the sign of the governor's yamen, and exchanged food for the land of the local people at an extremely low price." When he said this, Tang Feng secretly observed the expressions of the three people and found that the three of them were very surprised, but there was no panic about the conspiracy being exposed, which made him a little admire their acting skills.

"What?" Yan Boda said in a very surprised voice: "Why never know about this? I dare to ask, who is the one who did such a bad thing? He dared to do such an unjust thing under the sign of my governor's yamen. I will not forgive him."

"This person is called Ding Bancheng. After he was taken down by my people, he kept saying that he was in Jiande as you wish by the governor. I wonder if he knows this?"

"Ding Bancheng... There is indeed this matter, but I just asked him to borrow the food from the people who were affected by Jiande, but I didn't say that he would do such a difficult thing to tolerate! This person is so brave that he dares to use public service for his own sake!"

Seeing Yan Boda's righteous and strict appearance, Tang Feng believed that what he said was the truth. He did not know what happened here. However, Tang Feng was not able to fool him in just a few words. He just smiled and said, "What Lord Yan said is that I think so too. The people in Zhejiang are under your governance. You have no possibility of indulging him in order to harm the people who have suffered disasters. It is really unforgivable that this person dares to act like this. I wonder what crime Lord Yan thinks he should be charged with?"

"Even if he can't be killed, he will confiscate his property and make it difficult for him to be in trouble in the future!" Feng Keyan said in a timely manner, but he had already made up his mind to get rid of this bad guy.

"Okay, Lord Feng is worthy of being a veteran of Zheng Ming, and he hit the nail on the head. However, Ding Bancheng later revealed some news to me, saying that he knew the truth of this incident. He hoped to atone for his sins by telling everything through confessions. I wonder if Lord Feng thought this method could work?" Tang Feng continued to ask with a smile.

"What?" Not only Feng Keyan, Zhang Siyuan, who had been trying to calm down, also screamed loudly when he heard this. He did not expect that this businessman named Ding was so weak and he would sell him and others in a few seconds. The businessman's ungratefulness was indeed true.

"What, Mr. Zhang has any opinion on this?"

"The official thought that this person made such a big mistake. In order to protect himself, he was very likely to bite him randomly. Lord Tang must not believe his nonsense." Zhang Siyuan said hurriedly.

Tang Feng nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang is very reasonable. He once told me that this matter involves many high-ranking officials in Zhejiang now. I was unable to believe his words, so I did not agree to him." Seeing that those people obviously expressed their breath, Tang Feng changed his mind and said, "But something strange about this matter was confirmed from him, so I realized that I was going to Hangzhou. After saving Xiong Can's life, I would like to think of him to reveal the truth of the matter. This is why I ordered people to save the Xiong County Magistrate just now. Please forgive me."

After hearing what he said, Zhang and Feng hated Ding Bancheng to the core. If he hadn't been greedy, how could he be captured by Tang Feng, and how could he be trapped in danger? The two of them looked at each other and had already made a decision.

"Mr. Tang seems that you are really prepared this time. I am a little abrupt when I don't believe it just now. I wonder how Lord. Tang plans to re-examine the case?" Yan Boda asked. Among the three, he seemed to be the most relaxed, but the tension in his heart was far better than the other two.

Tang Feng not only has a lot of evidence, but also has the imperial edict. This time it will be much more difficult to deal with him. What Yan Boda can do now is to secretly provoke conflicts between the two sides, causing Zhang Siyuan and others to do something unfavorable to Tang Feng in order to protect themselves. And his current problem is to intensify the conflicts between the two sides.

Sure enough, after hearing his question, a trace of fear flashed across Zhang Siyuan's faces. They were afraid that Tang Feng would order the trial of the case at that time, and that would probably drag him out. Fortunately, Tang Feng was not in a hurry to trial the case at this time, but said: "It's too late today. I have been running around to save Xiong Can for a whole day, and I just want to have a good rest. There are still several important witnesses on this case and have to wait until tomorrow morning to arrive. Therefore, according to my opinion, let's put it aside first. It's not too late to wait until tomorrow to hear the case."

This proposal hit Zhang Siyuan and the others' thoughts. Without waiting for Yan Boda to express their opinions, they nodded anxiously and said, "What Lord Tang said is that you have to work hard all the way and have to take a good rest. The case is not in a hurry. Please let me move into my inn in Hangzhou first, and the officials and others will not disturb you."

After bringing people into the inn, Zhang Tai said in confusion: "Sir, you have already gained the upper hand today, why not take the opportunity to go further? Maybe they can quickly turn the case over when they are caught off guard."

"No hurry. Even if there are some testimony that is unfavorable to them, they may not be able to convict them. But after a while, they will do something that will kill themselves." Tang Feng leaned comfortably on the chair and said with half-closed eyes.
