Volume Two, Chapter 54, True and False
By the way, Yang Cong is too brave. Jiajing asked Lu Bing to send Jinyiwei to protect Lu Ling'er. He actually took his own initiative and used it to examine local officials. Wouldn't he be afraid that Jiajing would get angry and deal with him?
Of course he was not afraid. He insisted on his own actions, Jiajing would get angry. If Lu Ling'er "takes on his own actions", it would be different. At that time, he could completely let Lu Ling'er act coquettishly in front of Jiajing, saying that he saw someone bullying his father-in-law and was so angry that he asked the Jinyiwei to examine him.
If Lu Ling'er does this, Jiajing will never get angry.
Lu Ling'er likes to play with officers and soldiers catching robbers. Yang Cong knows this. Jiajing knows more. When they were young, they often played with each other. What is the point of a corrupt official when they were young?
Therefore, there is no problem with using the Jinyiwei to examine these local officials, and Jiajing can completely fool them.
However, he was not a joke. He asked Chen Lian to record the interrogation process in detail, not just to scare Wu Fengchun. If these guys dared to be arrogant in front of him, Lu Ling'er would naturally take these to Jiajing to complain. It would be strange if Jiajing didn't get angry at that time.
Yang Cong's move is true and false, and false is true.
If you want to think that he is fake, and don’t take it seriously, he will play with you and let Lu Ling'er run to Jiajing to complain.
If you think he is real and obedient, then the trial case of the Jinyiwei is fake. He will not let Lu Ling'er talk about this to Jiajing at all. After all, he is using public services for private purposes. Even if Jiajing listens to Lu Ling'er's words, he will not get angry and will inevitably feel a grudge against him.
Wu Fengchun didn't know whether Yang Cong was playing the real or false. He only knew that the Jinyiwei was real and Zhu Bingzhong was also real. If the commander of Zhenwuwei was Jing, he would definitely be an extraordinary person. No matter how much Zhu Bingzhong said, he was still a real commander of the third rank, and he was also a confidant of Cheng Duke.
He dared not offend such a big man, and he dared not ignore others' words. After running out of the Yang family courtyard, he ordered people to find a few fast horses, and then took a few people to Xinzhou Prefecture City with them.
Fortunately, Dingxiang County is only more than forty miles away from Xinzhou Prefecture City. It only takes one hour to run back and forth, but there is plenty of time. I just don’t know what the Xinzhou Prefect Yue Lingshuang will react.
Yue Lingshuang felt a little nervous after hearing Wu Fengchun's description.
He knew this matter better than Wu Fengchun. It was completely unreasonable to suppress Fujian merchant Yang Lin. The reason why he ordered Wu Fengchun to do this was because he received the above order.
However, what comes from the above is just verbal orders and no official documents. If he acts according to the rules, he will ignore it at all. However, what officials are talking about these days is not all the rules of the court. He can ignore it, but if he ignores it, he will suffer losses. Moreover, the above said that after the matter is done, he will benefit him.
These days, this official cannot be long-lasting. Sometimes, compliance with the rules is secondary. Whether it can please the people above is the most important thing.
He believed that no matter who was involved in this kind of thing, he would do it as mentioned above. It was just a merchant, and it would be cleaned up. What's so great about it?
What he unexpectedly expected was that this incident actually attracted the Jinyiwei!
Damn it, what is Yang Lin's origin? Didn't he say that his father is just the head of the Guanglu Temple in Nanjing? And he is also a donated official. How could he have such great energy that even the Jinyiwei could invite him?
Could it be that Yang Lin’s son is really the top scorer in the new subject!
He had heard from people mention this, but he had asked the person above, who said that Yang Lin's son did have the same name as the new top scorer, but he didn't take it seriously.
It seems that this is not simple!
He just hesitated for a moment and decided to go to Dingxiang County as the "big man" said.
The Jinyiwei is not a joke. If he dares not go, he is likely to go to the prefectural office to arrest him. By then, there will be no place for his face to be put.
He didn't dare to moji, so he rushed to Dingxiang County. After ate something in a hurry, he came to the Yang family courtyard accompanied by Wu Fengchun.
This guy felt a little scared when he saw the dense Jinyiwei along the way.
He didn't know what was going on. If they just bullied a merchant, would it take for them to send so many Jinyiwei to come?
He walked into the lobby of the Yang family courtyard with a nervous mood and saw that, indeed, the commander of Zhenwu Guard Zhu Bingzhong was admiring the last seat without saying a word. Although the young man in the main seat was not wearing an official robe, he was imposing and seemed to be not an ordinary person at first glance.
He thought about it, but he took the initiative to bow and said, "Mr. Yue Lingshuang, the governor of Xinzhou, please see you."
Yang Cong stared at him for a while, then said coldly: "According to the magistrate of Dingxiang, the matter of preventing Fujian merchant Yang Lin from purchasing grain was your order. Is there such a thing?"
When Yue Lingshuang saw the records that the Jinyiwei and the hundreds of households next to him were indeed brushing, she felt a little panicked. This matter was indeed an order from him, and quibbling was useless. He could only say helplessly: "This is indeed an order from the lower official, but the lower official also acted on order."
Yang Cong asked coldly: "Whose order did you follow?"
this!
Yue Lingshuang hesitated. He was afraid of the Jinyiwei, but he also knew that the Jinyiwei was not as good as the Zhengde Dynasty at this time. The Jiajing Dynasty had never heard of the Jinyiwei inexplicably dealt with a prefect. As for the one above him, the Jinyiwei could not do it now. Should we honestly explain it?
He wanted to sell the person above without knowing anything. The person above might be able to deal with him. Forget it, let's take it on and see the situation.
Thinking of this, he simply pretended to be frowning and thoughtful, and said nothing more.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yang Cong immediately asked: "Do you know that the grain purchased by Yang Lin was to send military rations to Datong Town. If you are stuck, the border troops in Datong Town are likely to be short of food. The army is short of food. What will happen? Do you know? Can you bear this responsibility?"
Damn, he couldn't bear the blame. Yue Lingshuang quickly defended: "The officials were just ordered to do things and disobey the Shangguan's orders. The officials could not afford to take responsibility."
Yang Cong said disdainfully: "What are you doing to hide it? The Shangguan you mentioned is Chen Da, the governor of Shanxi?"
Everyone knows this, you just ask, what do you dare to do to others? They are officials in the border areas!
Yue Lingshuang simply nodded and said, "Yes, it's the Governor."
Upon hearing this, Yang Cong snorted coldly: "Governor, what a great power. Does he think that being a governor can use public services for private purposes? Does he think that being a governor can deduct military rations and shake the morale of the army?"
Damn, you're so frustrated with you!
Yue Lingshuang seemed to understand something, and he asked carefully: "Your servant dared to ask, dare you ask, "You are the new top scholar, the editor of Hanlin Academy, Lord Yang Congyang?"
Yang Cong continued to snort coldly, "Do you know who I am? If you are a wise man, hurry up and withdraw your unspeakable order."
I'm so dizzy, isn't this difficult?
Yue Lingshuang could only bite the bullet and said, "If Lord Chen blames him, the officials will not be able to afford it."
Yang Cong said disdainfully: "Do you think a governor of a province can be lawless, right? Do you want to help the evildoer, right?"
Lawless?
Helping the evildoer!
You are too ruthless in your hat, Yue Lingshuang hurriedly bowed and said, "You are not afraid."
