“How is Pang Youshan’s character in the Fourth Division?” asked Zhang Ronghua.
Han Zhenggang was able to tell that the lord was ready to make a move. It was already too late for him to get off the ship. Furthermore, without betraying He Wenxuan, he was envious of Ding Yi and the others. They had won all the way and were promoted and rich. After sitting in the position of Right Qian Imperial Censor for so many years, he also wanted to move his butt and move up.
“Yang Yilai might have some important information.” He recounted everything that had happened in detail.
Six years ago.
Yang Yilai was still the Imperial Censor of the Left Qian Capital, and his good friend He Jia was the Imperial Censor of the Left Jian Capital. Pang Youshan was only the Imperial Censor of the Right Qian Capital at that time. In one night, He Jia was reduced from a high and mighty third grade official to a prisoner. Even his home was raided. The men were sent to the border as slaves, and the women were sent to the Education Department as prostitutes. Not long after, Pang Youshan was promoted and took over He Jia’s position, pushing Yang Yilai to the bottom. Now, he was only an ordinary Imperial Censor, from the ninth grade.
They wanted to deal with him openly and secretly, but Yang Yilai was an honest person. With his official position at that time, he was a fourth-grade official, but he actually rented a house in the capital. After rummaging through the inside and outside, the money in the mansion was less than 500 taels, and it was saved from daily expenses.
Unable to find a ” reason ” to convict him, he could only hide it until now.
At that time, he was also promoted to the Right Qian Imperial Censor, taking over Pang Youshan’s position.
“Why?” asked Zhang Ronghua.
“Embezzlement! At that time, we found ten thousand taels of silver in He Jia’s residence.”
“How is their relationship?”
“Friends till death!”
“After all these years, has Yang Yi ever thought of overturning the case?”
Han Zhenggang shook his head.” I was born in a poor family. I relied on my own ability to climb to the height I was at that time. It’s already very commendable!” There’s no one up there, and Pang Youhao is powerful. It’s easier said than done!”
“Go to the Ministry of Works and find Ding Yi. Tell him to investigate He Jia’s daughter. Act accordingly,” Zhang Ronghua instructed.
“I’ll go now!”
“Before you go, call the people below.”
“Yes, sir!” Han Zhenggang stood up.
Just as he was about to leave, Zhang Ronghua pointed at the tea, his heart filled with excitement. He was prepared to use himself. He took a sip of the tea, put it down, and quickly left.
If what Han Zhenggang said was true, even if Yang Yilai had evidence, there were two reasons why he didn’t take it out. Firstly, there was no one up there. Secondly, Pang Youshan threatened his good friend’s daughter. If she dared to disobey, he would kill her.
He deduced that it was very likely that He Jia’s niece was not in the Education Bureau.
If Ding Yi came forward, he would have the True Dragon Token in his hands, so he could leave the palace even if he was on duty. Although the Education Bureau was under the jurisdiction of Taichang Temple, as long as he spoke, Xiao Yueniang would not dare to disobey him. Even if someone was ” taken away “, there would be records. Wherever they went, they could follow this clue and find her, then they could get her out.
Imperial Censorate, in a large hall.
The space was huge and the layout was decent. It looked low-key, but in fact, every item was expensive. The tables, chairs, bookshelves, and so on were all made of top-grade purple wood that had reached 200 years old. This was the office of the Imperial Attendant, Bai Yichang.
Inside.
Pang Youshan bent his body and spoke in a very humble manner. He told Zhang Ronghua about how he had easily neutralized his attack.
“If Zhang Ronghua didn’t have any tricks up his sleeve, He Wenxuan would have taken him down long ago!” Bai Yichang sneered. He couldn’t stand out and be transferred to the Ministry of Works, forcing Stylone to be at his wit’s end. Even Cui Jiancheng couldn’t protect him, and he wanted to use the power to transfer him out of the capital.”
“The Imperial Censorate isn’t like the Ministry of Works. No matter how powerful they are, they have to behave themselves here! If he dares to move, I will teach him a lesson and beat him back to his original form.”
“There’s no false reputation. You can’t take it lightly,” Bai Yichang reminded.
“I understand! He would never let Zhang Ronghua seize the opportunity to counterattack. Didn’t he want his subordinates to report their work? “Let’s hang them out for a while. When it’s time to go down, we’ll call them over. We’ll just go through the motions and not even give them time to say a word.”
“Yes.” Bai Yichang nodded in satisfaction.
“Where is Yang Yi?”
Pang Youshan was annoyed. This guy was like a stone in a latrine pit. He was smelly and hard. He didn’t like him, but he couldn’t kill him. If he killed him, the death of the official would definitely alert the True Dragon Palace. No matter how well he did it, he would be suspected. With the vicious methods of those people, even though Jiu Xuanji was scolded badly in the court and pretended to be a coward, once he fell into their hands, he would immediately turn the tables and die!
He knew that he couldn’t withstand a set of punishments.
All these years, he had sent people to keep an eye on Yang Yi. When the opportunity presented itself, Yang Yi would leave the capital and get rid of him with the help of demons and ghosts. He didn’t expect Yang Yi to be so smart. He knew that he would die if he left the capital. No matter what happened in his hometown, he didn’t care. He even gave a death order not to allow his family to leave. He could only use other methods to force them to submit.
“Lord, please rest assured! It was absolutely foolproof. Before Zhang Ronghua came, I warned him again that Yang Yilai would not dare to act rashly. When the time comes, I will get someone to take her out of the capital. This way, there will be no more hidden dangers.”
Thump! Thump!
‘ Master!” Someone knocked on the door, and his confidant’s voice came in.”
Something happened to the master!”
For some reason, Pang Youshan had a bad feeling. He sensed danger, or rather, it was coming. He thought of Zhang Ronghua.. Could it be him? Impossible!
