Lu Junzhong smelled the **** smell and felt comfortable, but Fan Wenzheng, the chief of the Ministry of War, had already smelled the **** smell.
But unlike Lu Junzhong's mood, Fan Wenzheng knew in his heart that if blood was really going to bleed, the blood could only flow from the Ministry of War.
Fan Wenzheng's heart sank quickly after learning that Qin Xiao rode a cart to the Xingbu Yamen and knocked on the drums.
He didn't expect that Qin Xiao, who he thought was Han Yunong's entourage, would unexpectedly play such a hand. Before that, he had not even thought that the Criminal Ministry would be involved in this matter.
The Xing Department is indeed a fascinating yamen, and the Blood Hades is indeed the number one official in the Tang Dynasty.
But this matter seems to have nothing to do with the Criminal Ministry.
The Ministry of Justice can investigate criminal cases, but it has nothing to do with the Ministry of War. Even if someone in the military violates military regulations, it is never the turn of the Ministry of Justice to intervene. For a long time, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice have been in peace, and the two sides are not in trouble. , Be regarded as maintaining a non-interference relationship.
Han Yunong entered the yamen of the Ministry of Defense, which involved military affairs, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs had no reason to get involved.
So before this, Fan Wenzheng had not considered the Criminal Ministry at all, even if he wanted to bring people down to bear the blame for the loss of Xiling, he thought of the staff and the transfer department, but he had no intention of pulling in the Criminal Ministry at all, and indeed There is no reason to put a hat on the criminal ministry.
Qin Xiao knocked on the drums in front of the Xingbu Yamen, Fan Wenzheng immediately sent someone to watch him, and waited for the military servant Dou Ye to come and report that Qin Xiao was taken into the Xingbu Yamen, Fan Wenzheng knew that something was wrong.
If the Criminal Ministry does not want to get involved in this matter, the best way to deal with it is to send someone to drive Qin Xiao away.
But Qin Xiao was taken into the yamen of the Xing Department, and the moment Qin Xiao stepped into the Xing Department with one foot, the Xing Department just extended his hand to the incident.
Fan Wenzheng did not expect that Qin Xiao would come to do this, nor did he expect the Criminal Ministry to take the initiative to get involved in this matter.
"Butang, it was Zhu Dongshan’s fat pig who personally brought Qin Xiao into the Xing Department Yamen." Dou Yan's expression was also a bit solemn: "Zhu Dongshan is the number one confidant under Lu Junzhong's hands. Intervened."
Fan Wenzheng was caught off guard by Qin Xiao's hand, but after all, he was an old river and lake. He didn't panic because of it. He thoughtfully asked in a low voice, "Do you know why Qin Xiao entered the Criminal Department? "
"Find someone." Dou Fen said: "Qin Xiao had a very loud voice on Zhuque Street, and many people in the vicinity heard it clearly. He claimed that he had come to Kyoto from Xiling to report an emergency military situation. Two companions were missing. Ask the Criminal Department to help you find it. And...!" He stopped talking, his face was solemn, and he didn't dare to say it immediately.
"And what?"
"And he took out the tiger head jade pendant." Dou Yan said: "Zhu Dongshan took the tiger head jade pendant and looked at it very carefully. After returning it to Qin Xiao, he turned to the torture department's yamen. Less than a stick of incense, Come out and bring Qin Xiao in."
Fan Wenzheng changed his color slightly: "Qin Xiao is also a night crow?"
"He has a tiger-head jade pendant in his hand, and his identity should be no problem." Dou Yan said: "So besides Han Yunong, Qin Xiao is also one of the night crows who came to Beijing this time."
Fan Wenzheng clapped his hands and said annoyed: "The old man has oversighted. I didn't expect that he is also a night crow, **** it!"
I don’t know if Qin Xiao deserves it
Die, or **** yourself.
"Butang, since Qin Xiao is a night crow, what he said is extraordinary." Dou Yan said: "He deliberately knocked on the drums in front of the Xing Department Yamen and shouted out the disappearance of Han Yunong and Du Hongsheng. Let the people on the street know this. It was during the errands, there were many officials from various government offices on the street. At the moment, I am afraid that the news that Han Yunong went to Beijing to report the military situation but suddenly disappeared has spread in various government offices. Today In the past, everyone in the capital knew everything."
Fan Wenzheng's face is very ugly, thinking of something, and asking: "Can Han Yunong eat something?"
"Not yet." Dou Yan said: "The food is already cold. In order to avoid him being suspicious, the official just put the breakfast away as usual, and prepares to deliver the food again at noon."
Fan Wen was sitting in a chair, silent for a moment, and finally asked: "What do you think Lu Junzhong is going to do?"
"Butang, Lu Junzhong is insidious and fierce. We all know the temperament of this man. If he doesn't make a move, he will put people to death. If a group of people is not dead, he will not stop." Dou Yan Obviously he was extremely jealous of Lu Junzhong, and said in a low voice: "Since he let Qin Xiao enter the Criminal Ministry, he is ready to make trouble."
Fan Wenzheng sneered: "What is the matter with the Ministry of War, what is the reason for him to trouble him?"
"Ministry, Qin Xiao has reported that someone is missing." Dou Yan frowned, "Detecting disappearance cases is also within the scope of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Although the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is not interested in managing disappearance cases, it will be thrown to the Kyoto Prefecture. By the way, the Criminal Ministry really wants to do it by itself, but no one can say nothing."
"Investigate the Ministry of War by investigating the disappearance case?" Fan Wenzheng lightly stroked his beard. "The old man waited for them to come, but said that Han Yunong was not in the Ministry of War. Does the Ministry of Criminal Justice have any burden to search here?"
Dou Fan hesitated, then whispered: "Ministry, if the Ministry of Criminal Affairs finds someone to testify and kills Han Yunong and enters the Ministry of War, what should we do? Lu Junzhong and the gang are best at making things out of nothing, and framing others with a familiarity. It’s not impossible for Qin Xiao to create a witness. And Qin Xiao found the Ministry of War last time, it shows that Qin Xiao also feels that Han Yunong is in the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs allows people to give false testimony, and Qin Xiao proves that Han Yunong came to the Ministry of War. If we prevent them from looking for someone in the Ministry of War, Lu Junzhong will definitely report the matter to the palace. If other people are missing, it will be fine, but if the saint knows that Han Yunong came to Kyoto from Xiling to report the emergency military situation, he may also be detained. The Ministry of War, it must be Long Yan furious. At that time, it is very likely that Lu Junzhong will be given a will to give him the right to find someone in the Ministry of War."
Fan Wenzheng's face became more solemn.
"At that time, Lu Junzhong will find Han Yunong here. The consequences will be disastrous." Dou Yan said solemnly.
"What should we do then?" Fan Wenzheng frowned, "Should you let Han Yunong out? He only needs to walk out of this door, and what should we do if we force him to implicate officials in Xiling?"
Dou Fan said: "The ministry, the important thing is that after he is released, if he and Lu Junzhong commit a crime and sue us for detaining him in the Ministry of War, things will be even more troublesome. He came to Beijing to report the military situation, and the Ministry of War detained him. I just don’t want to send the tens of thousands of urgent military sentiments to the saint. If Lu Junzhong catches this, he will slander us deceiving the saint."
Fan Wenzheng detained Han Yunong, hoping to allow Han Yunong to hold the blame for Xiling's loss on Yao Mubai and many other officials in Xiling, so that it could also pull the officials into the water and cause more people to blame.
Han Yunong did not follow Fan Wenzheng
The idea is to cooperate with him, and he is resolutely unwilling to stand up and prove that the guilt of the loss of Xiling is on Yao Mubai, the protector of Xiling. Therefore, Fan Wenzheng can only retreat to second place and make Han Yunong write down his confession.
Although it is impossible to directly involve Yao Mubai because of this, Han Yunong's confession can be used to implicate the officials, and even the Heiyu general who secretly arranged Han Yunong to go to Xiling was also pulled down.
In order to prevent Han Yunong from withdrawing his confession afterwards, Fan Wenzheng even thought of poisoning Han Yunong. In this way, with the confession in hand, Han Yunong committed suicide in fear of crime, and it is impossible to withdraw the confession again.
Everything was originally planned well, who knew Qin Xiao was killed out and directly pulled the Criminal Ministry in.
As soon as the Criminal Ministry came in, his previous plans were also in vain.
"Kill him immediately." Fan Wenzheng was silent, and his face became cold and stern: "The Ministry of Justice came to the door and said that Han Yunong was indeed in the Ministry of War these days. We have been inquiring about him these days and asked him to fix what happened in Xiling. All reports were reported in detail, but Han Yunong was not in a good mood, was in a trance, and did not report all the circumstances in time. We can only let him stay in the Ministry of War temporarily before we fully understand the detailed situation of the Xiling rebellion, and it is not good to be incomplete. The military report told the saint." The cold light in his eyes was like a knife: "Today we probably have a grasp of the situation. Han Yunong also wrote a confession. He felt ashamed and committed suicide in fear of sin."
Dou Fan said: "If Han Yunong had been poisoned by food before the people from the Criminal Department arrived, what the ministry said would be foolproof. But...Han Yunong has not been poisoned and died, so we can't do anything to him. It’s not difficult for us to arrange for someone to kill Han Yunong, but when the time comes, the Ministry of Criminal Justice will not give up easily. An autopsy will inevitably be conducted. If it is found that someone was killed, the Ministry will be in great trouble."
Fan Wenzheng knows Dou E's words are reasonable.
In the Ministry of War, sending people to kill the messenger who came to Xiling, Fan Wenzheng didn't have the courage even if he had eaten the courage of the bear heart and leopard.
Unless Han Yunong is really poisoned and died, the Ministry of War will never send anyone to attack.
"Lunch is still more than an hour away. Send it early. Han Yunong will be suspicious." Dou Yan said: "We will either wait until noon or even night. Han Yunong can't hold it and we will be done after we eat. But we can't be sure. Will the people from the Criminal Ministry come over today? If they don’t come today, we can wait one day, but if they come right away, we won’t be able to wait for Han Yunong to be poisoned.” He approached Fan Wenzheng and said in a low voice. : "Ministry, weigh the pros and cons, now we have to deal with the Criminal Ministry, there is only one way that may be able to reverse the situation."
"What way?"
"Make a deal with Han Yunong." Dou Yan said: "In addition to not being able to kill him, we must also win over him. After he is let out of the gate of the Ministry of War, we will not say a word that is not good for us."
Fan Wenzheng frowned and said, "Win over him? Last night, the old man asked him to write a confession. He must have resentment towards the old man. If he goes out of this door, he will definitely be in trouble with the criminal ministry." He sighed, quite a bit. A little annoyed: "The old man didn't think about it well. I didn't expect Qin Xiao to pull in the criminal department."
"Ministry, being confident that you can convince Han Yunong." Dou Yan said solemnly: "People from the Criminal Ministry may come to the door at any time. Before that, we must reach an agreement with Han Yunong. Time is tight and no delay, otherwise there will be more What an even bigger trouble, please let the next official go to try."
Fan Wenzheng sighed: "This can only be the case until now."
