Chapter 952 Who Is the Winner?

"The people of the Yang family," Wu Yi heard this, his face was normal, as if he had expected this moment long ago. After all, the Yang family was prosperous, and he thought that it might be backlashed at the beginning, so there was nothing strange about it now.

"Did you kill the whole family of the Yang Mansion?" Qian Tongpan continued to ask. Although he asked this question, he had already received the news, and this question was not for confirmation, but just to test Wu Yi.

"The evil gentry and the powerful, the rich and unkind, everyone can kill them!" Wu Yi said righteously, as if he was doing justice for the heaven, and what he did was good.

Even if the news was reported that it was indeed this seemingly weak scholar who led hundreds of militiamen to destroy the Yang Mansion, Qian Tongpan still looked unbelievable. With such a strong murderous intention, why did he choose to study literature in the past?

The Yang Mansion has been passed down for hundreds of years, and Qian Tongpan also knew its name. It is really incredible that such a big family died in the hands of such a scholar in front of him.

"The Yang family is deeply rooted, and you can't completely eradicate it. Even if the imperial envoy forgives you, you can't expect to have a peaceful life after you are released from prison!"

As soon as these words came out, the implication was obvious. I can protect you and guarantee your safety. Qian Tongpan was extending an olive branch to Wu Yi.

"May I ask if you know who the imperial envoy is?" As soon as the question was asked, Wu Yi was considering Qian Tongpan's strength. In just a few days, if he wanted to know the name of the imperial envoy, how could he know it if he didn't have someone in the court.

Qian Tongpan extended an olive branch to Wu Yi, and Wu Yi also needed to think about whether the olive branch was solid or not. This is what is called, good birds choose trees to live in.

If those subordinates who don't care about the origin and character of their lords are really not good, or they don't plan to work for a long time. After brushing up their qualifications here, they will turn to others.

Qian Tongpan knew what Wu Yi meant, and at this moment he really looked at Wu Yi with a sidelong glance. He was not a hot-blooded young man who only knew how to fight, but he still knew the weight!

"Forget it. Anyway, the imperial envoy will interrogate you in a few days. It's okay to tell you that after this court dispute, the imperial envoy sent is the Minister of Rites, Lord Xu."

"Minister of Rites?" Wu Yi couldn't believe it and asked again. It's not common for the Minister of Rites to take care of this! The Minister of Rites is responsible for sacrifices, schools, imperial examinations, and cultural matters, and matters related to people's livelihood, especially this time involving civil unrest. Can the Ministry of Rites take care of it?

Wu Yi was very skeptical about this. However, thinking from another angle, the important thing about the imperial envoy is not the envoy, but the word "imperial" in front. As long as the emperor is satisfied, he can send whoever he likes. Sending someone from the Ministry of Rites may be because he wants to promote this person and finds a reason.

The Daji Dynasty has not encountered civil unrest for many years. It is not surprising that such a bad incident occurred this time and a central official was sent to deal with it. If a person of this level was not sent, it might cause public discussion.

If this is true, this person has a bright future with the emperor's grace, and he is a master you can rely on.

"Yes, it's the Minister of Rites!" Qian Tongpan said affirmatively.

In the official system of the Daji Dynasty, the Minister of Six Departments is a third-rank official. Above him are the Prime Minister (Sanji Zhengshi) who is in charge of civil affairs and the Privy Council who is in charge of military affairs. As for the Jiedushi and the governor of a certain state, they are all empty positions and do not count. At most, they can give you an extra salary.

"When the report was submitted a few days ago, it was not reported that the county magistrate of Chenliu County was killed. If the guess is correct, in a few days, you can hear that this minister is also a university scholar." In order to let Wu Yi know his background, Qian Tongpan told Wu Yi the inside information he knew.

There are third-rank and second-rank university scholars. Since this person has to deal with the vicious incident of the county magistrate being killed, he can only be assigned a higher position, and he must be a second-rank university scholar.

After some negotiations, Wu Yi and Qian Tongpan formed a temporary strategic alliance. This alliance may only last until the arrival of Minister Xu, or until the investigation of this case is over. It is also possible that Wu Yi will resolutely leave the alliance after he finds out that he has been deceived.

In short, this alliance is extremely fragile. It is based on the exchange of interests. The basis of the alliance is that both parties can give each other benefits.

"What is the matter with the unrest in Chenliu County? Tell me in detail!" As soon as the alliance was established, Qian Tongpan couldn't wait to ask Wu Yi.

The truth is that Wu Yi played an extremely disgraceful role in this civil uprising, so he naturally couldn't tell Qian Tongpan that Wu Yi controlled the overall situation through the Dingyun Star Plate in the previous ten days. He didn't participate in it personally, but he also knew the general situation.

Wu Yi explained the fact that the people went to the surrounding counties to buy grain together, and then on the way back, they were regarded as bandits by the county magistrate, and the grain was withheld and the people were detained. It was exactly the same as what Qian Tongpan knew privately.

The only difference is that Wu Yi knows more details, including which villages and how much they contributed. If you are not the party involved, you have no way to know these contents. If you want to investigate in the future, if you don't find the key witness, it will be a broken line.

Qian Tongpan was very excited when he heard this. The "Chen Yan" in front of him was really a wonderful person. With these information in hand, is he still afraid that he can't talk about his merits in front of the imperial envoy?

But later, when the people and the government confronted each other, Wu Yi stopped talking and only said that it was getting late and asked Qian Tongpan to come again tomorrow.

It was clearly sunny outside and it would be a few hours before dark. Isn't it just to keep his secrets?

Qian Tongpan showed an unhappy expression on his face, but he was extremely calm in his heart. If Wu Yi really said all the content in one breath, he would worry whether Wu Yi was deliberately fooling him.

In this transaction, Wu Yi's hand was the secret he knew. He went all in in one breath, but life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is in the hands of God. It is not something that a normal person can do. It is precisely because Wu Yi has reservations that it shows that Wu Yi intends to maintain this alliance.

Knowing this truth in his heart, Qian Tongpan left quite quickly without delay, but he did not even leave the door of the post station. His subordinates whispered in his ear.

The old Tongpan smiled and ordered his servants to give Wu Yi a wooden box. A bloody smell could be smelled through the box.

Wu Yi knew what was inside without opening the box? Today's farce finally had a result.

The Yang Mansion did not even have a base camp. Some jumping clowns, in addition to being able to bully ordinary people like Wu Yi, could be easily captured once a big official like Qian Tongpan came forward to deal with them.

The person who poisoned the family is dead, and three or four people who were poisoned also died, and the lives of more than a dozen people were at stake.

The real winners were only Qian Tongpan and Wu Yi.

The official system imitated the Song Dynasty, but the Daji Dynasty was described by Sanren as having a long history. In fact, it was a mixture of many dynasties, hiding the changes in the official system.

So if you see official positions from other dynasties in the future, don't be surprised.
