Chapter 49 Li Yunrui: Kick Him Out of Kyoto
"You arrogant boy! You don't know the overall situation!"
Looking at Ye Zheng mounting his horse and walking in front of a group of archers, Zhu Ge cursed in a low voice.
"I have to bear so much resentment for helping him get the job and promotion. Even if I don't know how to repay him, I should at least show some kindness to him. He is such an ungrateful person!" he said angrily again.
"Zhu Ge, be careful with your words!" Yan Ruohai stopped him immediately, and then said, "He was promoted to an official position, and my Inspection Office punished corruption and bribery, all in accordance with the will of the Supreme Being!"
"His talent and reputation are not important, but I have often heard that he is honest and upright, dedicated to public service, and selfless for the people. The people of West City and South City all praise him. How could they not know him?"
After saying that, he looked at the people in his fourth and seventh departments behind him and said, "Let's go get Si Lili."
After he left, the anger on Zhuge's face gradually disappeared, and only thought remained in his eyes.
……
Night, Bingmasi Yamen
"Sir, the dark room is ready. There is no light, no noise, and only one air hole."
In the hall of the West City Military Affairs Office, Ye Zheng sat behind a desk, carefully identifying various items from a large wooden serving tray, and searched out various items from Cheng Jushu and the four female swordsmen from Dongyi City.
Cheng Jushu didn't need any proof. His face was recognized by all the warriors in Kyoto.
The four Dongyi cities...
There was a token whose use was unknown, but as for the rest, Zhongli was at a loss as to what to do with it given his knowledge and experience.
You still need to give a confession.
Unfortunately, the Bingmasi only has the power to temporarily arrest and detain, but not the power to investigate.
"Okay, throw them in there and keep them for two or three days. Then, ask them a few questions. If they cooperate, I'll use the method I taught you to interrogate them. If they don't cooperate, keep them locked up. I'm still worried about finding another doctor. You are Mr. Fei's apprentice. You will have a hard time in the future."
"It's not hard, sir."
Zhongli clasped his fists.
Even with his head lowered, Ye Zheng could still see the determination on his face and feel the loyalty from his words.
"Go."
Ye Zheng would not stop him out of boredom and ask him why he stood on his side to test whether he was sincere or not. It would be enough to observe his words and actions.
A little time
"Sir, Master Fan is here."
After an archer reported, Fan Xian, reeking of alcohol and the stench of vomit, sat down on a round stool, grabbed the teapot on the table and drank it directly.
Look at his eyes, somewhat confused, but more than confused, there is a hint of anger in his eyes, and on his cheeks, the red color stimulated by alcohol is also tinged with grayness.
"Did you get the result?" Ye Zheng didn't stand up. He picked up the pen and wrote something.
Fan Xian didn't know whether he was tired or really drunk. He staggered to the desk and fumbled in his robe sleeves.
“Pah.”
He was asked to slap a piece of folded paper on the table.
He leaned his hands on the desk, his neck drooped, and his eyes looked straight at Ye Zheng.
After staring at him for a few moments, Ye Zheng reached out to take the paper and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. If you want someone to comfort you, go find Sister Wan'er. There's no need to act so sad in front of me."
He unfolded the paper and looked through it.
This is Guo Baokun's confession, signed with his signature.
Record his memories of Teng Zijing in detail.
"Have you taken the medicine?" He folded it slowly and asked.
Fan Xian nodded, and watched him hand the confession back to him, and asked in confusion, "You don't want it?"
Ye Zheng did not respond. He flipped through the pile of papers beside him, pulled out a sheet and handed it over. "The Kyoto Prefecture will come to expel Teng Zijing in a few days to redress his injustice. You need to rely on yourself or discuss it with your uncle. This is his confession. Take a look and compare it with what he told you in the past. Is there any discrepancy?"
"Is it so urgent?" Fan Xian was much more sober now, and he quickly took over the confession and asked.
After a quick glance, hmm... yes, it was exactly as I told him.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind. I read it carefully again and then quickly opened Guo Baokun's confession...
In fact, there was no need to look again, he remembered what Guo Baokun said. Gradually, anger grew in Fan Xian's eyes, much greater than the anger that was only in his eyes before.
"This... they planned it all out long ago. Someone arranged everything and they want me to go to Beijing." He tried hard to control his emotions.
"Hmm? Didn't your uncle write to you, asking you to go to Beijing to get married?" Ye Zheng asked in confusion.
Hearing this, Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, then he put away Guo Baokun's confession and replied, "My grandmother didn't agree at first, and I didn't like being arranged to marry like this. It was only after Teng Zijing's assassination that I decided to go to Beijing."
Ye Zheng nodded.
"I'm here to give you Guo Baokun's confession, but I also want to remind you of something."
Fan Xian continued.
"Ah."
Ye Zheng raised his eyes and looked at him, his expression as calm as ever, waiting for the next words.
"Regarding the assassination of Liu Jinghe, I am afraid that the person behind the scenes also understands the significance of this assassination to Qing State, so he is fearless, and his status is definitely not low. Only the second son of Prime Minister Lin's family is not enough, and he (she) is probably still thinking that Your Majesty will accept his (her) favor."
A hint of sneer appeared on Fan Xian's lips.
His mind was in a mess now. Usually a man with strong opinions, he was at a loss as to what to do.
There were a lot of messages today, and each one had a huge impact on him!
"Thank you." Ye Zheng nodded.
Fan Xian was stunned by such a calm reaction, then he smiled bitterly, "Yes, you can talk to me about it in the carriage today... No, I'm afraid you have already thought of this."
"I can think of it, but how can I break the impasse? If Your Majesty really accepts his (her) love, I'm afraid that in the end, it will be a lot of noise but little action."
Ye Zheng was unable to correct it.
Not to mention raindrops, there wasn't even any thunder.
"So, I'm trying hard." He picked up the pen again.
Fan Xian's eyes immediately fell on a memorial, and he carefully read it for a long time before reading out the words in the first column, "An Edict to Punish the Eastern Barbarians of Northern Qi..."
At this moment, he was stunned...
It's such a trivial matter, why write a manifesto?
Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at for making a fuss out of nothing and lacking the bearing of a great country?
Ok?
No, assassinating him is no small matter!
"We, Daqing, were founded on military power, and warriors are brave. This assassination can be small or big, and it all depends on me picking up my pen and writing it down."
"Everything has its origins in a legitimate reason, especially between countries."
"Someone wanted to rely on passing a name to His Majesty in an attempt to avoid punishment for colluding with the enemy country. Haha... I also want to thank him (her) and me for taking this opportunity to take away his (her) credit."
Fan Xian blinked, not knowing what to say.
The calculations are so in-depth and accurate!
"I go first."
Leaving the military headquarters, the streets were dark and empty, and Fan Xian's thoughts returned to himself, feeling sad.
Suddenly, he sensed something and turned to look at an alley behind him on the left...
In the darkness, a figure slowly walked out.
Fan Xian was like a bullied child who finally found a parent who supported him. He was excited and complained, "Where have you been, Uncle Wu Zhu!"
……
Guangxin Palace
"So neat? This kid from the Ye family is probably as talented in martial arts as his brother. He hides himself really well."
Li Yunrui praised.
When she showed no sign of continuing to speak, the female official reported again, "Mr. Wu and the second young master have been notified, and all the mess has been cleaned up."
"Okay." Li Yunrui showed a satisfied look, with a bright smile, and said, "Go tell the prince to start preparing. This time the Ye family kid has made a great contribution, so he should be promoted. Kick him out of Kyoto."
