Chapter 493: Rival in Love
This matter is very easy to implicate, or from the beginning, those people did not intend to kill people, and if they could buy him shoes, it proves that they did not want to kill him, otherwise who would buy shoes for a dead man? Second, this person should be very familiar with Jia Dapeng, otherwise he would not buy him shoes. And now the focus of the investigation is on Jia Dapeng.
After two days of sleepless investigation, Zhang Mingchang checked Jia Dapeng's business and some relatives and acquaintances, and finally found that Jia Dapeng was actually from selling illicit salt in the past. Things suddenly became interesting, a man who sold smuggled salt made a fortune, opened a lot of business in the capital, and was still familiar with many court officials, which is really difficult not to make people suspicious.
Zhang Mingchang wrote a report to the imperial court, and the rumors of Xu Ying's murder had been broken, and the will about Guo Wenying being thought about by the face was revoked.
The emperor praised Zhang Mingchang in court, and also summoned the new champion in the imperial study.
The new champion has never seen the emperor, Zhang Mingchang is definitely the first, the emperor of the Qionglin banquet was not present, and when the Golden Palace summoned him, everyone else announced it, and the only one who didn't announce it was him. Later, the imperial court assigned official positions, one of Bangyan and Tanhua entered the Hanlin Academy, and the other entered the Ministry of Officials, all of whom were Beijing officials of five or six grades. Although he stayed in Beijing, he was sealed with seven grades, although he was in the sixth department, but it was not a place to be seen.
The popularity of the people in the six branches is not good, and others avoid walking when they see it, looking at the power, in fact, they offend more people, and it is not a good errand to say.
Some people have long been talking in private, saying that the emperor does not want to see this new champion. But this time Zhang Ming has a long face, and it can be regarded as a favor to make an exception and summon him.
Zhang Mingchang couldn't sleep this night, excited, he could see the emperor, the emperor was going to praise him, can he not be excited?
But when he entered the imperial study, he suddenly couldn't laugh anymore, because he found that he seemed to know what the reason why the emperor didn't want to see him. Moreover, he has not seen the emperor before, he has seen it as early as the day the list is released.
He kowtowed like pounding garlic, and suddenly he didn't know how to excuse himself?
How did he know that the woman that day was Lord Guo, and he didn't know that she had already gotten along with the emperor, and he wondered if the emperor would kill him because of this?
There were many thoughts in his mind, but the emperor just glanced at him lightly, and said coldly: "You are very relieved to make efforts this time, and then check it out, and then find out what can be secretly reported." ”
After speaking, he waved his hand to make him stand down.
Zhang Mingchang felt incredible when he went outside, pinched himself hard, and felt pain, only to know that it was not a dream. He was overjoyed and sorrowful, and now his life has finally been picked up.

Guo Wenying lifted the closed-door thinking and reported to the yamen on the second day.
The officials of the Ministry of Industry came to congratulate her when they saw her, regardless of whether it was real or fake, but they looked very enthusiastic.
Deng Jiucheng pulled Guo Wenying to his side and said in a low voice: "Wenying, what happened, why are you even involved?"
Guo Wenying smiled, "There are people who are unwilling to be lonely, you just wait, this thing can't be over." "There's no telling what's going on next. She knows, and the emperor must know it too.
Zhang Ming checked for a few days, and after digging deeply, he really dug out something useful, Jia Dapeng had done things for His Royal Highness in the past, and he had a close past with Feng Jing'an, it seems that this matter is indispensable for this third master to be the driving force behind his back. It's just that Feng Jingan and Guo Wenying don't have much grudges, and they really can't frame Guo Wenying.
Feng Jingting thought about it again and again, and always felt that this matter was not over, maybe someone in the court was secretly colluding with the third prince, and maybe he was thinking about what would happen. He asked the whole city to search for the third prince, although he also knew that the third child would definitely not be in the capital at this time, but it was good to find some shrimp if he couldn't find fish.
Zhang Mingchang is bold and careful, and he is quick to do things, which seems to be a good material for natural case investigation, and finding someone is even better for him. He followed Jia Dapeng's line all the way, and actually found a few hiding places for the rest of the party. took someone to serve the pot, and really caught two live mouths.
This matter was not tried by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and was directly tried by Jinyiwei, tortured, but he really asked something.

Guo Wenying came back from the yamen, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Xu Mao standing under the corridor, and knew that the emperor was coming.
She frowned, she hid a few days ago, and didn't even give a message, it's okay now, he's coming here.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Feng Jingting dressed in white. Recently, he doesn't know what he's doing, and he always likes to wear white clothes in private. It seems that she once said one day that she liked suave people, and then he started like that. But as far as she thinks, just like some people who wear yellow robes are not like the prince, even if he wears a white shirt and holds a fan, he does not have the temperament of a scholar. The extravagance and the occasional ruffian that are all over the body, how can a fan be removed by a white dress?
Feng Jingting didn't have such a consciousness, he thought he was free and easy, and sat leisurely on the chair. took a sip of tea from the teacup, and then beckoned to her, "You are also blessed, eat one of the oranges that have just been paid tribute in the south." ”
He took a huge yellow orange and handed it to her, Guo Wenying was also obedient, cut it open with a knife, and put it in front of his mouth first.
Feng Jingting ate it with her hand, and licked her fingernails with his tongue intentionally or unintentionally, causing her heart to tremble. Today he seems to be in good spirits, and it seems that in addition to a few heart diseases, he has also recovered his red face.
She muttered to herself, she was "full of warm thoughts", he wouldn't plan to do anything to her again, right?
Feng Jingting smiled faintly, "She's fine, she's getting older, it's inevitable that she will have a headache and brain fever, I have given supplements, and the imperial doctor has also gone to see it, and her body is fine." ”
Guo Wenying had the intention to distract him, so he talked about the soft beauty that the Queen Mother found for him, and praised her as a rare beauty in the world.
Feng Jingting didn't answer, just looked at her and smiled, as if she was a juicy peach, and he wanted to pounce and take a bite at all times.
Guo Wenying was frightened, took a step back but was grabbed by him.
"Is Jiaojiao jealous again? Although that Rou'er is beautiful, how can she catch up with you. In my eyes, you are the number one beauty in the world. His warm breath sprayed on her face, causing her heart to tremble. She wanted to step back, but his waist was tightly clasped by him, and he touched her face with one hand, and asked in a gentle voice like a drop of water: "What have you done today, why is your face so ugly?"
Guo Wenying stared at him, "I have been scared for many days, and it is strange that my face can be good." ”
