Honglian saw that this was the end, and it would be a little inconvenient to talk about official business. Honglian picked up the flask and poured Lu Bing a glass of wine, then picked up her own glass, and said, "Our sister and brother have not seen each other for a long time. Today we borrow flowers to offer Buddha. Brother a glass."
Lu Bing looked at Hong Lian's gentle smile, and he was in a daze, as if he had returned to the Xing Palace. Every day when he was exhausted from practicing martial arts, Hong Lian would give him a bowl of warm water, and the smile remained the same.
Lu Bing hurriedly picked up the wine glass. The three of them stopped talking about official business, just gossiping about the old days. After three rounds, they went back separately.
On the second day, Lu Bing, the solicitor of Fusi Town, Beizhen, began to investigate the Mashi case thoroughly!
Because Lu Bing already had enough evidence in his hands, it was like a gust of wind and rain.
Following the vines in the Northland, I quickly felt a lot of melons, both large and small.
In just one day, the edict was overcrowded.
There were some people who wanted to do something, but they immediately realized that they could not move.
The emperor strongly supported the thorough investigation of the Mashi case. From the emperor's side, it would not work. Maybe he would make a confession. The emperor never acted softly.
If you want to use the usual method of confronting imperial power, start with scholars and use public opinion to fight against it. What they did was really not on the stage, it was really publicized, and maybe they were criticized as traitors by verbal abuse.
To start from Jin Yiwei's side, the original commander Luo An has resigned, and someone begged to get in front of the door.
The new commander of Jin Yiwei, Wang Zuo, is also from Beizhen Fusi, and he is much tougher than Luo An. Anyone who finds him will either say that the emperor’s order is hard to violate, or that Beizhen Fusi is directly responsible to the emperor. In this case No right to intervene.
The chief officer of Beizhen Fusi, Lu Bing, was himself a notorious person. After yesterday's incident, even the East Factory Superintendent couldn't help him. The people they planted in Beizhen Fusi didn't dare to act rashly.
And early this morning, the first person Lu Bing summoned was Chen Hong, the factory supervisor of the East Factory.
This caused all factions in Beijing to die, and they had no choice but to wait for the slaughter.
There are tens of thousands of Jinyiwei in Beizhen Fusi, under the unified attitude of several Jinyiwei chief officials, it is rare to have one heart and a strong attack!
According to the clues in Lu Bing's hands, in just one day, the people in the capital who had participated in the horse market were checked out!
After Lu Bing personally interrogated Chen Hong, he actually left Chen Hong in the imprisonment. Although he lived in a first-class cell, his freedom was restricted.
This made all the people panic, especially the officials who depended on Chen Hong. At this time, there was a tendency for trees to fall and fall apart.
After Lu Bing interrogated Chen Hong, he did not stop there, but immediately summoned the official secretary, Fang Xianfu, the second-ranking member!
Lu Bing's resolute and unscrupulous way of doing things will make the seemingly stagnant capital of the city, and the stirring waves go to the sky!
When everyone was speculating whether Chen Hong was going to fall into Lu Bing's hands, the wind direction seemed to be turning slowly the next morning...
Early the next morning, Lu Bing submitted the confession to Emperor Jiajing, among which the most important ones were of course the confessions of Chen Hong and Fang Xianfu.
Neither Chen Hong nor Fang Xianfu deny that they have a relationship with Ma Shi.
Chen Hong confessed that he himself hoped to break Dongchang spies into the grassland under the guise of trade. He didn't know why such a large-scale smuggling would develop in the later period.
The evidence that Lu Bing found in Marseille, including the Dongchang factory, did not mention that the governor Chen Hong was the leader. And Lu Bingshun found out several East Factory personnel who participated in the horse market. They also confessed that it was not Chen Hong's chief envoy, but because of greed and being coerced, they eventually fell deeper and deeper.
And Fang Xianfu's confession was that he himself did not take this matter very seriously. It was just that the family clerk did some small business and ordinary sales activities. As a result, he did not expect such a large-scale smuggling. He has sent the participating clerks to the Beizhen Judicial Office. However, Fang Xianfu mentioned that the reason why he was careless was that his colleagues around him and some participants also made it so easy to follow the crowd. Those colleagues were just like him. They only thought it was normal business. They didn't expect to break the law.
Emperor Jiajing saw these two confessions, although he was very angry, but he expressed his understanding of his courtiers.
The Jiajing Emperor magnanimously did not continue to pursue the charges of Chen Hong and Fang Xianfu, but only fined each of them for one year and demanded the payment of illegally obtained accounts.
Both Chen Hong and Fang Xianfu honestly admitted their punishment.
Overnight, the wind direction completely changed!
No one who can occupy a high position in the capital is a fool. They have a very keen political sense. They immediately noticed that there is something behind this.
The next day, without waiting for Lu Bing to send someone to arrest him, a large number of officials voluntarily turned up and pleaded guilty, using the same reasons as Fang Xianfu's.
Some even took the initiative to hand in a large amount of money, and then went to Beizhen Fusi to collect the crime.
The emperor immediately stated that the horse market was involved in a wide range of issues, but most of them were trapped and involved, and they were also deceived. Anyone who voluntarily confessed and turned in the stolen money will only be fined for half a year. Stern warning is not an example.
However, the emperor also strictly ordered Lu Bing to find out who is behind the scenes and punish him severely! Those who fail to pay the stolen money in full will be punished for multiple crimes.
The officials cried secretly. They didn't know the evidence that Lu Bing had, showing how much they had gained, so they had to post one or two more layers on the amount they got.
On the third day, Lu Bing announced the release of Chen Hong and Fang Xianfu.
On that night, under the pretense of shocking Chen Hong and Fang Xianfu, Lu Bing sat together.
In the past three days, the turmoil in Beijing has changed rapidly, but today, the direction is gradually clear, and the three finally have the opportunity to sit together and discuss how to end.
Fang Xianfu raised his glass first and smiled at Lu Bing: "Master Lu is a good method, and Fang admires it!"
"Master Fang is polite." Lu Bing also smiled and picked up the wine glass, and said: "If it were not for the tacit cooperation of Master Fang, the subordinates would not be able to advance the plan to such a level within three days."
Fang Xianfu turned his face to Chen Hong and smiled: "Master Chen, shall we have a drink together?"
Chen Hong sneered and said, "You are welcome, Master Fang, this is just for your own sake. After today's discussion, let's go our own way!"
Fang Xianfu didn't get angry when he heard Chen Hong say this, but he also felt that there was no need to be too polite with a castrate. He just smiled, and the three of them toasted and drank.
Yes, all the waves in the past three days were caused by the tacit cooperation of the three.
Last time, after Lu Bing and Fang Xianfu had finished talking, there was care in their minds, and Fang Xianfu also had his own small plan at the same time.
