Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Right Man

Zhang Zhaohua was taken aback: "What the hell happened!"

This person said: "Ji Gang said that in our garden, there is a female talent who is harboring, and now she is a key criminal ordered by the emperor!"

Female Xiucai, wouldn't it be the Liu family who made Mei Yin and the princess fall out of harmony-

According to his 1510 Dao, he said that a woman suddenly came to the garden two days ago, she was quite good-looking, and she was alone, saying that her husband died a few days ago, and she came to the capital to join her brother, and she didn't know how to get into this garden.

Originally, it was very impolite to enter the door of other people's houses in the midst of filial piety, but it was late at that time, and seeing that this woman was really lonely, Zhang Chang also felt compassion and let her stay in the garden for one night.

It's just that I didn't see this person the next morning, and no one saw how she went out, Zhang Chang didn't care, I didn't expect Ji Gang to bring someone after a day, but he didn't enter, just politely asked him to hand over a "female showman", Zhang Chang was inexplicable, I don't know who this female showman is.

Jinyiwei is like a melting pot, there are all kinds of people in it, but they can be divided into three categories according to their origins, and these three kinds of people are actually distinct, namely honors, subjects, and merit.

Xunwei is very simple, it is Zhang Chang like this, with the relationship between Xun and relatives, those who enter Jinyiwei are all idle and supported by the state, Zhang Chang has very little time to go to Jinyiwei's yamen office, and he has no power, people like Zhuang Jing and Li Chun under Ji Gang have long since been hollowed out of him.

The subject is a matter of criminal name, and Jinyiwei's punishment and inspection all require specific talents; the last meritorious promotion is that the person who has made meritorious contributions in investigating and handling cases will be promoted, and he has the right to promote and appoint the people who have been tortured the most ruthlessly, the most useful, and the most loyal to him.

Zhang Chang didn't want to be this official in the first place, he didn't go much on weekdays, and he honestly didn't say anything when he saw Ji Gang, Ji Gang was also respectful and polite to him, because he knew that he was the eldest brother of the crown princess, and he had been together so safely for a long time, Zhang Chang didn't know why Ji Gang suddenly appeared at his house, and forced him to ask for someone.

"There is indeed a female showman, why did this female showman go to my eldest brother's manor now," Zhang Zhaohua said: "Didn't the eldest brother explain to Ji Gang what was going on?"

"Said," said the man, "said that the next day the people would be gone, but Master Ji didn't believe it, saying that his people saw people go in, but they didn't see people come out." Master Ji asked, don't you believe in Jinyiwei's detection methods?

Premeditated.

Zhang Zhaohua's mind was spinning rapidly, and she quickly had an inference that Liu Xiucai, who appeared in the Horse Mansion in the first year of Yongle, was indeed the one who came out of the palace before, but the one who entered Zhang Chang's manor later was not necessarily Liu Xiucai.

Someone was framing Zhang Chang, finding a woman to go in, and then guiding Jin Yiwei to track down the orchard, but he and this woman had already escaped - this is a guess.

But Zhang Zhaohua is very biased towards his second guess, that is, the person who framed Zhang Chang is Ji Gang.

Ji Gang had already caught Liu Xiucai, but he didn't squeak and did it quite secretly. Princess Ning Guo didn't know the situation, so she didn't catch anyone when she went to catch her, and she made a big fuss. And he sent someone into the Zhang family manor, and then secretly helped her get out, everyone in the manor saw this woman, but no one could tell her whereabouts, Zhang Chang was speechless.

The problem now is that Zhang Chang doesn't know the identity of this woman, and Ji Gang insists that she is Liu Xiucai. Zhang Chang couldn't hand over anyone, and many people saw the existence of this woman, and these people could be taken out by Ji Gang and said that they were "human witnesses".

What a delicate trap - why did Ji Gang deal with Zhang Chang like this?

He didn't do it to deal with Zhang Chang, to be honest, he was not Ji Gang's opponent at all, Ji Gang wanted him to be unable to get along in Jinyiwei, as long as he used a little means, he would suffer all kinds of unspeakable encounters. It's just that I didn't do it before, but today suddenly a hand came - why?

Ji Gang's goal should be on her Zhang Zhaohua.

Zhang Zhaohua stood up and walked around silently, this matter was not reported to the emperor, and the person who reported the news appeared to her, which in itself showed that Ji Gang deliberately let him out, and Ji Gang was observing her reaction.

No, Zhang Zhaohua thought about it, Ji Gang should be expecting her to beg him.

begged him to settle things, don't pursue it, begged him in front of the emperor, don't mention the matter of this female showman, she begged like this, Ji Gang naturally agreed to the boat, because he wanted to sell the crown princess a favor, but in this way, it was actually equivalent to confirming Zhang Chang's crime of harboring the case. This charge is in Ji Gang's hands, and it can be used to pinch Zhang Zhaohua at any time in the future.

Zhang Zhaohua's heart was full of anger, her women's army was disbanded by the emperor's personal order before, and who the emperor had spoken to in those days, she also secretly checked, and the most suspicious thing was Ji Gang - what kind of grudge did Ji Gang have with her, and he wanted to harm her like this!

One time is not enough, and I have to come again! and still expect her to beg him - do you think she Zhang Zhaohua has no way out?

Zhang Zhaohua glanced at the missing moment and said, "Chen Ying is still in the palace, didn't you go out of the palace?"

"No," Han Dong said: "It seems that every time Lord Chen leaves the palace, it is almost time to drop the key at the palace gate." ”

"You go in person and lead Chen Ying to Zuo Shunmen," Zhang Zhaohua put on his clothes and waved everyone away: "I have something to say." ”

This time, Zhang Zhaohua waited for a long time, because Chen Ying was reporting on Mei Yin's affairs, and when he hurried to Zuo Shunmen, he saw Zhang Zhaohua's cold gaze, which made him gasp involuntarily.

"Lord Chen," Zhang Zhaohua said: "I can't see that you and Ji Gang are really Your Majesty's right-hand men, and Your Majesty really can't do without you day and night!"

Chen Ying was inexplicable.

"Ji Gang is against me," Zhang Zhaohua said with a slashed face: "Are you going to have trouble with me?"

Chen Ying was shocked: "The minister has no objection to Niangniang!"

"Ji Gang deployed heavy troops at the door of my brother's house, saying that he wanted to arrest a female Xiucai," Zhang Zhaohua said: "Let me ask you, is this female Xiucai the person you mentioned in the song to 'curse Mei Yin'?"

Chen Ying didn't know about this at all, and said: "The minister only knows that there is a female showman who has a close relationship with Mei Yin, and after the minister submitted the note, the emperor approved the discipline outline to do it, and the minister has no contact with him again." ”

Chen Ying was really shocked, Zhang Zhaohua looked at his expression, and made sure that he and Ji Gang did not gang up to deceive her.

"Then this female showman," Zhang Zhaohua said, "Where is it now, you don't know?"

"I heard that she disappeared overnight, and Lord Ji is arresting her," Chen Ying said, "I don't know she went to Lord Zhang's house-"

"!" Zhang Zhaohua said angrily: "Ji Gang made something out of nothing, and he wants to pull my brother into this case, and this palace wants him to look good!"

Chen Ying didn't think that Ji Gang was so bold, and the specific situation must be discussed, but Zhang Zhaohua said: "The song you wrote, the person arrested by Ji Gang, if it is really caught from my brother's house, you two, it is really a great credit!"

Chen Ying hurriedly said: "Niangniang, wronged! The minister doesn't know what is going on with Master Ji, but the minister here will never know about it, and he will never dare to oppose Niangniang!"

"Then you say," Zhang Zhaohua said, "Is the person handed over by my brother Liu Xiucai?"

"How could it be Liu Xiucai," Chen Ying couldn't figure out what Zhang Zhaohua was going to say now, and she couldn't figure out the ins and outs of this matter, and a layer of cold sweat poured out on her back: "Liu Xiucai, Liu Xiucai......"

"What does Liu Xiucai have to do with me, what does it have to do with my brother," Zhang Zhaohua stared at him and said: "In my brother's family, there is only one Xinna's concubine, this concubine is from the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, she is beautiful, and Master Ji also loves her very much." ”

The soles of Chen Ying's feet began to soften this time, "You asked me to impeach Ji Gang-"

"Who told you to impeach Ji Gang!" Zhang Zhaohua scolded: "Aren't you with him, you are your right-hand man, and no one can leave anyone!"

Chen Ying was completely blinded, and Zhang Zhaohua said: "Tell any of your subordinates to play any imperial history, participate in my brother's greedy flowers, take luxury, the more ruthless the better, when you participate in the court, you must not be merciful!"
