"Mr. Wang," Zhang Zhaohua said, "The emperor knows that you are here with me, Chen Ying has already asked me for someone, and I have no right to execute you privately." If you go to Nanjing, when the time comes, you will live or die, and I will have nothing to do with it. ”

She knocked on the table, and a number of Jinyi guards came in, lifted Wang Du on the ground, tied up the five flowers, and put him in the carriage outside the door.

"Sir, let's go. Zhang Zhaohua said politely and did not stand up to see him off.

Waiting for Wang Du to be escorted away, Zhang Zhaohua sat alone in the room for a while, she thought about things slowly, and suddenly heard a sound of rustling behind her, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she looked back.

Zheng seemed to freeze at that moment, she saw that Zhang Zhaohua's shoulders didn't move at all, but his head turned back to face her, those eyes were like the eyes of a wild wolf who wanted to devour people-

Zhang Zhaohua didn't notice Zheng's abnormality, and said casually: "How long has my sister-in-law been here?"

Zheng was so shocked that she couldn't say a word, her whole body was shaking slightly, and she tried to control her disorder, "Just come, just come, come." ”

Zhang Zhaohua couldn't help laughing when she saw her like this: "Sister-in-law should have heard what I said to Wang Du!" But seeing that Zheng was shaking even more, he wanted to help her to sit on a chair - but she didn't touch Zheng's sleeve, Zheng was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and curled up in a ball.

Zhang Zhaohua was so angry and funny that he pulled her up: "Oh! It's all a lie to him! Not a word of truth!"

Zhang Zhaohua naturally couldn't slaughter all his innocent family and friends just because Wang Du calculated her. Even if he wants to retaliate, he will not use such an extreme and hateful way, what Zhang Zhaohua has always wanted is the submission of this person, just like King Yan wants the submission of Fang Xiaoru, the seed of these loyal ministers, but his methods have proved not only useless, but also left infamy, Zhang Zhaohua can only find another way, and he can't learn from him.

If you can't use it for me, you have to kill people, this method is actually not advisable, and the physical destruction of people is far worse than the destruction of people on the spiritual level. She came up with a solution.

"Whatever you told him to raid his house and destroy the door was a lie to him," Zhang Zhaohua explained: "If you want to escort him to Nanjing, it is also a lie to him, I guess he will run away halfway, and inquire while hiding." He will soon learn that I lied to him, that his family and friends are alive and well, and that he can run away from the car so easily, and he will understand that it was actually my bidding. He'll think I'm willing to let him go. ”

"He hurt me, but I'm still willing to let him go. Zhang Zhaohua chuckled: "Even if I scared him, I still have kindness to him." ”

Zheng slowly eased up, and his heart jumped back to his original position from his throat, and he was actually very moved, and said: "Niangniang, this should be a great kindness for a scholar." ”

"Whether he can come back to me, I don't know. Zhang Zhaohua lowered his eyes: "I think I have a clear conscience." ”

Zhang Zhaohua said this to the Zheng family, in fact, she didn't think about using the so-called kindness to keep people at all. She had already placed her men in Shandong and Jiangsu provinces, and wherever Wang Du went, they would catch him - and put him in prison and torture.

Zhang Zhaohua's original words to them were: "Fight to death, torture to death, but don't kill people, don't make him crippled, don't torture in your brain, don't stun your mind, I still count on using his brain." ”

This brocade guard named Xie Chuan was once ordered to send the concert to Beijing. Zhang Zhaohua saw that he was shrewd and capable, and he was interested in winning over and taking it for his own use. He was asked to do it.

"Then according to Niangniang's wishes," Xie Chuan said: "You don't need a brain hoop and a book, just a few snacks such as a rat playing a kite, a horse stopper, and a swallow flying are enough, and there is no injury on the muscles and bones, and it will not beat stupid people." ”

Zhang Zhaohua said with satisfaction: "Okay." Your Jinyiwei's eighteen dim sum has always been famous, and you will definitely be able to serve people well. This five hundred taels of silver is considered your hard work. ”

Xie Chuan immediately said: "Serving Niangniang is what the minister should share and willingly, no matter what Niangniang sends, the minister will go to the soup and fight the fire." ”

Zhang Zhaohua was satisfied, and after a deep sigh, he said, "Your new commander, Master Ji Gangji, how is your personality?"

"My lord is very dependent," Xie Chuan opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, since July last year, the big and small Jianwen Yu party cases have been investigated and handled by adults, and the adults use them fairly, and the sentencing——"

Zhang Zhaohua said a slight "heh", and Xie Chuan didn't dare to speak.

She looked at Xie Chuan, and suddenly said, "The internal personnel of the Jinyi Guard all call the commander the Metropolitan Governor to show their respect. How can you be more alienated than a courtier?"

"I want to listen to the truth," Zhang Zhaohua said: "Ji Gang is just a sentient being, blocking horses and surrendering to work, suddenly becoming expensive overnight, ranking above you Jinyi old men, are you really willing to be driven by it, without any selfish complaints?"

Xie Chuan had to say: "This is all appointed by the emperor, and the ministers are under the people, so they should assist them wholeheartedly." ”

Seeing that Zhang Zhaohua just sneered, Xie Chuan stiffened his head and said: "Two hundred and forty-six iron cases, each case involves hundreds to thousands of people, Jinyi Wei Imperial Prison, all of them are full, and they have to borrow the prison of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and these cases, which have never been handled by Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, are all - tortured, determined as iron cases, reported to the emperor, according to the list of Lord Ji, all copied and beheaded." ”

"How many unjust cases are there?" Zhang Zhaohua said.

"But if you sit together," Xie Chuan said, "there is no case that is not unjust." ”

"Ji Gang, is there any suggestion to establish a reserve?" The unjust case is not what Zhang Zhaohua really cares about, but the establishment of the reserve.

"Master Ji is a smart man. Xie Chuan said.

"A smart person has always lived longer than a stupid person," Zhang Zhaohua said, "I hope he will always be smart." ”

"Niangniang, Niangniang—" Zheng's call woke up Zhang Zhaohua who was in deep thought.

"It's snowing. Zheng pointed to the snowflakes flying outside the window.

"It's the first snow of the year. Zhang Zhaohua suddenly said: "I heard that when it snows for the first time, any lie can be forgiven." ”

Even lying to one's conscience can be forgiven.

"Let's take a second look," Zhang Zhaohua said: "When I go to Nanjing, I won't see such heavy snow." ”
