After Yuan Jiang's heart was weak for a while, he sneered: "This official doesn't know what you're talking about! Jinyiwei is handling the case here, do you dare to obstruct it?"

"I don't know which official of my Zhenjiang Mansion violated the royal law," the official said, "Why don't you know?"

"It has nothing to do with your Zhenjiang," Yuan Jiang said, "Why don't you retreat quickly?"

Seeing that this official seemed to be a little familiar, Yuan Jiang carried a torch and shone it over: "I seem to have seen you somewhere." ”

He thought about it, and suddenly his eyes widened: "You are Zhou Xin's subordinate!"

"It's good that I'm Zhou Xin's subordinate," the official showed a look of hatred: "The people here are also Zhou Xin's people!"

Zhou Xin is also one of the thousands of officials in the Ming Dynasty, but he is known for his honesty and good at judging cases, and he is known as "cold and cold". When he was the governor of Zhenjiang, he did a lot of good deeds for the local people, so the people here are still grateful to him and cannot be forgotten. After that, Zhou Xin was framed for offending Ji Gang, and was unjustly killed after being tortured.

It was Yuan Jiang who sent Zhou Xin to Nanjing at the beginning, and the people of Zhenjiang saw him, can they not be excited?

"What are you going to do?" Yuan Jiang was forced to retreat again and again under their gaze, terrified: "You are a rebellion, you dare, dare to besiege Jinyiwei?!"

"Do a lot of injustice," the official stared at him coldly, "and he will kill himself!"

There are only a dozen Jinyi guards, and there are thousands of people who are bent on avenging Zhou Xin, they roared and rushed forward, and Yuan Jiang, who had no time to escape, was beaten to death, and Li Qian found that the situation was not good, and immediately fled, and luckily let him escape.

And the angry people rushed into Zhou's house, only to find the body in the house. And although the corpse was scarred, its face was still intact, and when Zhenjiang Mansion Yin saw this person's face, he was immediately shocked: "Chen Ying?"

He is also a smart one, and soon sighed: "It seems that I am also a pawn in the hands of others." However, as long as I can avenge Tie Hangong, I am willing!"

And Li Qian, who had escaped, ran for more than 160 miles in embarrassment until the city of Nanjing, and then he was relieved, feeling that he had escaped death. On the one hand, he hated that the officials of Zhenjiang Mansion dared to be so bold and rebellious, and took advantage of the emperor's absence to gather a crowd to besiege Jinyiwei, and on the other hand, he was uneasy, because Chen Ying's body had no time to do anything to deal with it, and it would soon be possible to make it rain.

"I watched you stare at the corpse for a long time," Li Qian turned his head and asked Li Yigui, "What do you see?"

Li Yigui said: "The subordinates didn't see anything. ”

Li Qian said with annoyance: "It's not that Jin Yiwei doesn't know the severity of his attack, and it is impossible to kill people! It must be Chen Ying himself, who can't survive the punishment and commits suicide!"

"My lord," Li Yigui said, "it could also be ...... After the ribs were broken, they penetrated the internal organs and died. ”

"It's also possible that it's ...... iron nail board," another hundred households also said: "Pick a nail off from it, and it's easy to die!"

It is also to blame that the people of Zhenjiang came at an inopportune time, they didn't even have time to carefully examine Chen Ying's corpse, but Li Qian was almost eighty percent sure that Chen Ying committed suicide, and suicide would be easy to handle, and there was a so-called "fatal injury" in the examination, and the fatal injury could be distinguished from the scar of Jinyiwei's torture.

"Suicide in fear of crime...... Li Qian squeezed out these four words from between his teeth and said: "He committed suicide in fear of crime, even if his body is pulled to Nanjing for examination, he will definitely be able to check out the wound he made." ”

Only Li Yigui knew that Chen Ying used the piece of iron that was broken off from the hammer to cut the flesh and skin of his thigh, and cut the major artery inside, which was more spiritual than cutting his wrists and committing suicide. Therefore, Chen Ying did not add any more injuries to his body, he started on the old wounds caused by torture, cut the tendons and veins, and died of blood loss.

Unless it is inspected on the same day, it will no longer be possible to distinguish between new and old wounds.

The people who wanted to ask Jinyiwei for an explanation, were they really so coincidental, and when they wanted to examine their injuries, they appeared?

The night in Nanjing was not peaceful, because such a pure place as the Heavenly Realm Temple was actually on fire.

Originally, the King Kong Hall was on fire, and in an instant it spread to the Dao Tianwang Palace, the Buddha Palace, the Left Guanyin Palace, the Right Wheel Tibetan Palace, and even the Bell Tower, and the Pilu Pavilion all burned, and the fire soared to the sky, and there was a sound of panic and crying.

The commander of the soldiers and horses had not yet arrived, but the Tiqi of the Jinyi Guard came, and under the command of Ji Gang, they occupied the four gates of the temple, pretending to call for people to put out the fire, but carefully watched everyone who escaped from the temple.

Ji Gang stood on his horse, and the corners of his mouth showed an imperceptible smile.

The temple at night is not as crowded as it is during the day, most of them are monks in the temple, and a small number of visitors live in the temple, but there are few and far fewer women among them.

After a while, the princess's concubine actually came out, and there was actually a person sitting on it, but the curtains around him were pulled down, and the faces of the people in the public opinion could not be seen clearly.

"Crown Princess Niangniang," Ji Gang hurriedly stepped forward: "Minister Ji Gang has seen the Crown Princess Niangniang! Niangniang is not frightened, right?"

Sure enough, the people in the public opinion didn't speak, but the big palace maid replied on the side: "Master Ji, I saw that Niangniang accidentally inhaled smoke and dust, and her throat hurt badly, I can't speak at this time, please understand." ”

"You might as well do it," Ji Gang sneered: "The minister just sent someone in to search for Niangniang, fortunately Niangniang is safe." The night is not peaceful, but I am afraid that people's minds will change, and the villains will take the opportunity to make trouble - the minister implores to escort the mother back to the palace. ”

As expected, the maid of the East Palace really disagreed, but Ji Gang didn't let her say anything, and without saying a word, he brought people over, lifted Chengyu up, and rushed in the direction of Ouchi.

And the palace who got the news was also alarmed, and when he came in from Donghua Gate, he was surrounded by the concubines before he even reached the Arrow Pavilion.

Ji Gang stepped aside, seeing that Wang Guifei was also coming, the people in the sedan chair had to come down-

"Concubine Lao asked," Zhang Zhaohua came out with a frosty hand, and said unhurriedly: "I have nothing to do, I just saw a little spark popping up, and they helped me out." ”

She deliberately said to Ji Gang: "I was tired of Lord Ji sending me back to the palace, but I was going too fast all the way, and I was dizzy and uncomfortable, so I won't be deeply grateful." ”
