Chapter 425 The only regret
When Li Ling, who was in the hall, heard the familiar voice of the intruder outside, his mouth curled up and showed a happy smile. However, the Imperial City Department sent Yang Chen to bring people here this time, so he would definitely be able to come out of the Censorate. As for the reason, he could naturally imagine it.
It must be that the content of the newspaper caused an uproar in the city, and then the Imperial City Office took decisive action as he had made before and took the initiative to investigate the matter. In this way, I really had the foresight. If it weren't for this arrangement, I would have suffered some hardship in the Censorate this time.
However, many young and energetic censors in the Censorate would not give in easily. In a moment, dozens of people gathered together, blocking the lobby and Yang Chen and other Imperial City Generals and School, blocking their way.
Someone raised his arms and shouted: "What power does your Imperial City Department have to go to my Censorate to get people at will? You only have the responsibility of some of the officials in the capital. When will you even ask about impeachment?"
This naturally attracted a burst of echoes from colleagues around him, and many censors shouted like chicken blood, staring at these Imperial City spies who had always been despised by them, and they were very tempted to drive them out directly.
Yang Chen was quite calm at this time. While stopping his subordinates from making possible actions, he shouted in and said, "I wonder if Mr. Jiang can be there? Is there anything to ask for information about the subordinate?"
"Random, how can you let the censorate and make noise in the censorate! How could Jiang Zongxian see you at will?" Someone immediately rebuked loudly, but as soon as he said that, many officials beside him bowed and saluted: "I have met Lord Zongxian!" But Jiang Hezhen came out because of this noise.
Not only Jiang He, but also the Censor who was still interrogating Li Ling, stood up to greet him. As soon as he saw his boss, he felt embarrassed: "Sir Zongxian, look at this..."
Jiang He has grown a lot more than a year ago. Obviously, this period is not easy for him. As a high-ranking official who has always been famous and respected for his fairness and severity, the storm last year had a great impact and blow to him, and he has not been able to recover until today.
However, his performance was quite normal. He looked at Yang Chen without any aggressiveness. He just looked him up and down for a while and said, "What's the matter if you want to see me?"
Even though he was just so casually against it, Yang Chen still felt a lot of pressure, but he was still fearless and looked back at the other party: "If you go back to Jiang Zongxian, the official just wanted to ask the Lord to allow us to bring the criminal Li Ling back to the Imperial City Office for trial."
If it weren't for Jiang He here, everyone would have been shouting loudly again, but when he glanced at him, everyone quickly shut up, just looking at Yang Chen, the eyes were still full of hostility. Jiang He smiled again: "There is a way to come first and then come, and it's the same for people to get it. Since we got this Li Ling first, you may have something wrong with it, right?"
"Jiang Zongxian doesn't know anything. Li Ling is involved in a major case this time, which is related to the innocence of Bian Xuedao, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Although the world's affairs must be discussed first and then, they must also be prioritized. I think with Jiang Zongxian's wisdom, he will not make wrong choices, make mistakes again and again, right?" After Yang Chen pointed out the whole story, he reminded the other party obscurely.
This last seemingly wrong statement made Jiang He's heart beat suddenly change. He couldn't help but think that the storm last year was also related to Li Ling and the Ministry of Revenue, and then... will he step on the same ditch this time?
As his mind turned, he asked again: "What kind of case is this? Why is it related to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"
"Sir, I don't know anything, just yesterday morning..." Yang Chen did not hide it, but he told the story of the articles in the newspapers that were actually known to everyone in the city, and even Jiang He had heard of it, and that the Imperial City Department had taken down the relevant person, and that only one key person was missing, and the article author Li Ling was missing.
After saying this, even the censors around him who had been trying to obstruct him from taking Li Ling away changed their faces one by one, and then they realized that the matter was indeed very complicated. Unexpectedly, a year later, a dispute broke out in the Ministry of Revenue, and this time the status of the two parties who attacked each other was even more disparate, and their methods were more radical.
One side gathered the superiors and subordinates in the yamen to impeach them directly, and engraved the six words "I want to eliminate dissidents" on their foreheads; the other side was even more amazing, and simply wrote a proclamation of confrontation - this method that was directly published in the newspaper and was well known throughout the city was even more disseminated than ordinary proclamations.
After thinking about all this, the censors who were determined to keep Li Ling were also shaken and began to look at their own Congregation uneasy to see what decision he would make.
Jiang He also fell into silence for a moment, and then turned around and glanced at Li Ling, who was still standing in the hall inside. He naturally had a deep impression of this young man. He fell into his hands last year. He was a bold, meticulous guy with great means.
Thinking of this, he felt even more violently. Will there be another pit waiting for him to step on it? He had already taken a wrong step at the beginning. If he did this again, his reputation would be completely ruined!
At this moment, Jiang He, who had always been fair and fearless, actually felt afraid. Even though this was just a change of thought, it was enough to let him know his inner choice. So without hesitation, Jiang He nodded and said, "You are right, the matter is divided into severity. Compared with a mere impeachment, the reputation of the Bian Shigong is naturally more important. That official will allow you to take Li Ling away. However, after you have concluded the matter, you have to send someone back to the Censorate!"
"Thank you, Lord Zongxian, for your support. I will obey the order." Yang Chen quickly agreed, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the other party would not let go. When facing such a senior official in the court, he would not dare to use force to steal people, and not to mention that the Tiqi of the Censorate is not easy to mess with.
Li Ling also felt relieved. He was also worried that Jiang He would deliberately keep himself in trouble because of last year's incident, so his situation would be dangerous. Fortunately, Jiang He was a rational person after all and knew how to advance and retreat. He also believed that even if he really wanted to come back this time, those charges would definitely no longer exist.
Without anyone to greet him, Li Ling had already dusted his robe and turned around and nodded to Yang Chen. The latter knew how to wave his hand: "Take the criminal back!" On the other person's territory, he still had to do enough play, and he had to give them some respect.
However, when they left the Censorate, the identities of both parties were quickly changed. Yang Chen quickly asked with concern: "Do you have any grievances caused by sir? They didn't torture you, right?"
Li Ling smiled and shook his head: "No, no one really dared to attack me except for pushing me a few times. After all, the censorship is no longer as unscrupulous as it was a year ago. Moreover, it is a blessing that you brought people to rescue me in time. If I drag it for a while, I wouldn't dare to say whether they would attack me."
"I am auspicious person and I will never dare to take credit for it."
"Haha, does a lucky person have a heavenly appearance? In my opinion, it is better to say that you protected me instead of being blessed by heaven. If you weren't following me in the southwest, I'd probably either die or be injured."
"Sir, I am so serious. This is what Yang Zhen and I should do. Besides, I am not bad to our brothers. You have given us such a big contribution to our brothers. It can be considered that we have made a big move in the yamen. Now we have all promoted it to the prescription." Yang Chen hurriedly thanked.
It is true that it is not easy for those working in the Imperial City Department to be promoted. Their two brothers can quickly be promoted from middle and lower levels to middle levels at a young age. Li Ling's contribution to the contribution was extremely great, otherwise it would be impossible for more than ten years.
Because of this, Yang Chen was naturally extremely grateful and respectful to Li Ling, so he proposed to come to the Censorate to save people. He even made up his mind that even if he used his strength, he would take Lord Li back.
While speaking, the two of them had already left the Censorate, and there were already carriages waiting there. Yang Chen invited Li Ling to enter first before he quickly got in. It seemed as if he was escorting the prisoner, but in fact it was not the case at all.
When the carriage started again, Li Ling had already asked about the current situation of the other party. After all, he was taken to the Censor Taichung the day before yesterday. I really don’t know what happened after the newspaper was released.
"Since you have arrived, it means that the case is really as we wish. Your Imperial City Department has already been asked about it?"
"That is, now we are in our hands, and we will definitely protect them."
"That's good." Li Ling breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that he might implicate these innocent people. Now he was relieved, "Where are you learning Taoism there?"
"It's not easy to get him now, but our people have been staring at him. As long as he has any abnormal movements, we will take the person first. However, sir, the response this article has caused a huge impact. The streets and alleys of the capital are talking about the sinful people, and the things seem to be bigger than we expected."
"Is that so? That's a pity. I didn't even see this public opinion storm with my own eyes." Li Ling sighed with regret. This may be the only regret that he was taken to the Censorate.
Yang Chen didn't know how to take this sentence. Others don't bother to be serious when watching the fun. Why do you just cause big things yourself and then look forward to the big things getting bigger and bigger?
But soon, he looked solemn again: "Sir, because the matter is getting worse, even the King of Yong came to our Imperial City today. So the next interrogation will have to go through a formality."
"Oh?" Li Ling was not worried at all when he heard this, but instead showed an interesting expression. "Since there are so many audiences, it would be even better. It just happened to confirm all the charges of Bian Xuedao. By the way, have those people arranged all the evidence and evidence?"
