Rise From the Humble

Zhu Ping'an stayed in the Shuntian Mansion Prison for about half an hour, and during this half an hour he had a general understanding of the murder of the prisoners.

The incident happened around midnight, which is around 4 o'clock in the morning. In modern times, it would be around 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning. This is when people sleep the deepest, and the violent storm last night provided a natural disguise for the other party to act.

On the one hand, the violent wind and rain can cover up the movements in the cell, making it difficult for people to detect; on the other hand, the violent wind and rain wash away the traces of the other party entering and escaping from the cell, making it difficult to trace.

The silencing happened at Chou time, but the other party had been planning it since yesterday evening. I learned from the two guards on duty yesterday that an old man and a young woman came to the prison to visit the prison yesterday evening, bringing wine and food. They were said to be among the eight prisoners. Someone's father and daughter-in-law came to visit him in prison.

The old man and the young woman came to the prison and were very polite. They gave his son five taels of silver for his meal and divided half of the food and wine between the two jailers.

The old man and the young woman visited the prisoner in the cell for a while and then left. After they left, the jailer tested both the food and wine with a silver needle and found that they were not poisonous. Moreover, the eight prisoners were all fine even after eating for a long time. Outside It was raining and cold, so they had some food and wine.

The other party is very smart, and the food and wine are not poisonous, but the wine contains something similar to sweat medicine. The dose is not large, but it can deepen your sleep.

After the two jailers finished drinking, they didn't have much reaction, but it took effect after they fell asleep, and they fell into a deep sleep.

Not only the jailer was sleeping deeply, but the eight prisoners were also sleeping deeply, and they also used this time to silence them.

As for how the other party got into prison?

Without even thinking about it, there must be someone inside the Shuntian government office. Shuntianfu Prison is also a very tight prison, with several checkpoints. Even if the jailer on duty is sleeping deeply, if there is no painting of the mole, he will not be able to enter the prison to silence him.

As for the insider, it won't be possible to find out for a while. The other party is doing it very secretly, and there are dozens of people under suspicion. Anyone who has the ability to help outsiders enter the prison will be a target of suspicion at this time.

It's not easy to find out the inner culprit, whether it's mental calculation or not.

Zhu Ping'an stayed in the prison for about half an hour, cooperated with Zhou Houjie to complete the procedures, and then came out.

As for the inner ghost, Zhu Ping'an did not interfere too much. Zhou Houjie still had to worry about it. This was an internal matter of their Shuntian Mansion Yamen. Moreover, Zhou Houjie was very worried about such things happening under his rule and was determined to find out the truth by himself.

After Zhu Pingan came out, he met Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei outside the Shuntian Mansion Yamen. When they saw Zhu Pingan walking out of the Yamen, they walked over quickly.

"Ziwei, Wensheng, why are you here?" Zhu Ping'an greeted him from afar.

"I'm not here to find you yet."

Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei smiled bitterly, looking worried. They had just gone to Linhuai Marquis Mansion to find Zhu Pingan. The concierge at Linhuai Marquis Mansion said that Zhu Pingan had come to Shuntian Mansion Yamen, so they immediately turned around again. Came here.

"Looking at how worried you are, what happened?" Zhu Pingan asked doubtfully.

"Yes, Zihou, something happened?"

Wang Shizhen looked at Zhu Pingan and said, Zhang Siwei also nodded.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Ping'an also became serious. It seems that the matter is not a trivial matter for the two people whose names will go down in history to be so heavy.

"There are two things." Wang Shizhen raised two fingers and said with a heavy face, "The first thing is, I received news this morning that Mr. Wang Zongmao, who had just been transferred to Nanjing's censor, submitted a letter to impeach the old traitor Yan Song for nine deadly crimes. Please Get rid of Yan Song and confiscate his family property to cause trouble to the Soviet Union."

Is someone impeaching Yan Song again? !

Zhu Ping'an was stunned for a moment. He impeached Yan Song himself and was petitioned by the Ministry of Punishment. After him, Zhao Jin, the censor of Yungui and Guizhou, and Zhou Mian, the doctor of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, impeached Yan Song, and was demoted to civilians and imprisoned. They thought that Yan Song was impeached. Based on what I and others have learned from the past, it is estimated that some people are not angry with Yan Song and dare not impeach him again. Unexpectedly, someone rushed to impeach Yan Song at this time.

Sure enough, literati do not lack character.

Wang Zongmao? This person seems to have some impression of himself. He had studied this person's information when he was studying Yan Song in modern times. This person had impeached Yan Song before, but I don’t know if he was also the one who impeached Yan Song at this time.

However, when he impeached Yan Song, didn't he impeach eight deadly sins? Why did it become nine deadly sins now?

"Zihou, Sir Wang's letter to impeach Yan Song has something to do with you." Wang Shizhen's next words surprised Zhu Pingan for a long time.

"Is it related to me?" Zhu Pingan pointed at himself with a surprised look on his face.

"Yes, before that, Shen Lian impeached Yan Song and was demoted to a security guard, and then you impeached Yan Song's party member Zhao Daying, who was petitioned by the Ministry of Punishment, and then Zhao Jin and Zhou Mian were demoted to civilian positions. At this point, Yan Song was photographed both inside and outside the government His power was as silent as a cicada, and no one dared to speak out. Lord Wang was indignant and resentful, and angrily wrote a letter to impeach Yan Song." Wang Shizhen nodded.

Well, Zhu Pingan opened his mouth but said nothing.

"Not only that, among the nine crimes for which Mr. Wang impeached Yan Song, the ninth crime quoted the content of your memorial." Zhang Siwei continued, and then repeated Wang Zongmao's memorial, "Sir Wang impeached: Yan Song was originally The evil and flattering people are shameless, hold on to power for a long time, and dominate and do good things, and all the subjects at home and abroad are resentful. There are eight major crimes that cause harm to the country and the people: 1. Appointing officials, extorting heavy bribes, expelling all civil and military generals, and distributing them in key places Second, citing private individuals, foreign officials were promoted without regard to talent or seniority, only bribes, which resulted in upright people being repeatedly excluded and unable to serve the country. Third, after being impeached years ago, he immediately secretly transferred his family property to Tens of thousands of people were moved to their hometowns in Jiangxi in the south. Fourth, fertile land was built in various places in Jiangxi, and gold and silver treasures were stored for future generations, regardless of the poverty of the country and the people. Fifth, they were raising domestic slaves, traveling to and from the capital, harassing and torturing them along the way. Harming the residents, everyone is angry but dare not speak out. Sixth, extravagance and lust, all kinds of exotic products, all available. Seventh, greed is extremely unbridled, but Tian Tian does not know how to stop. Eighth, recruit more than thirty court officials as cadres The adopted son acts as a henchman and thug, and the kindness and power of the court do not come from His Majesty. Ninth, protect the subordinates and allow them to commit crimes and commit crimes, bringing harm to the world. For example, those who kill good people and take credit for Zhao Daying will not only be innocent, but will be promoted. The world. The only things we rely on for security are wealth and soldiers. If untalented officials leave Songmen with bribes, they will deprive the people of their wealth. How can the people not be trapped? If untalented military officers leave Songmen with bribes, they will deprive the army of pay and soldiers. Why don't you get tired! Yan Song's position can only be paid for several years. Please get rid of this traitor who is harming the country and the people, and confiscates his family property to cause trouble to the country."

Zhu Ping'an felt sad for a long time after hearing this.

It turns out that this is the case. No wonder Wang Zongmao originally impeached Yan Song for eight crimes in history, but today it has become nine crimes for impeaching Yan Song. It turns out that he learned from his own memorial, and then added one more crime.

At this time, Zhu Ping'an felt like the butterfly flapping its wings in the South Pacific, which had begun to gradually influence history.
