On the second day, Wang Zhizheng came out of the Yanqing Palace of the Hakka family, went straight to the Jiuqian-to-Sui Mansion to participate in the regular morning meeting of the eunuch party, and arrived at the Jiuchi-to-Sui Mansion and waited for the Jiuchi-to-Sui to arrive in the council hall.

In the council hall, Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Gu Bingqian, the first assistant of the cabinet, Huang Liji, the cabinet minister, Ni Wenhuan, the secretary of Taichang Temple, and Li Yongzhen, the eunuch in charge of the 9,000-year-old mansion, were drinking tea and chatting.

Wang Zhizheng's status in the Nine Thousand Years Old Mansion has gradually risen since he served as the left waiter of the Ministry of War, and even Su Ri looked down on the old fox of Gu Bingqian, the first assistant of his cabinet, and hurriedly greeted and nodded when he saw Wang Zhizheng. Wang Zhizheng humbly gave a salute to a few bigwigs.

Cui Chengxiu smiled and said to Wang Zhizheng: "Pei Ran (Wang Zhizheng Pei Ran), I heard that you were in Dongchang yesterday afternoon and killed the county magistrate named Zhang Kai?" Wang Zhizheng smiled slightly and said: "Hui Shangshu, yesterday in Dongchang, I originally wanted to teach Zhang Kai a lesson, to Mrs. Fengsheng out of a bad breath, but I didn't think that the open body was not strong, I whipped and punched him, and threw him into the dungeon, who knew that at ten o'clock in the afternoon, that Zhang Kai died in the dungeon. I obeyed the jade order of Mrs. Hakka, cut off his head and hung it at the entrance of the vegetable market to show the public! Wang Zhizheng smiled and understated the murder, which made several ministers feel faintly numb when they heard it.

Ni Wenhuan and Wang Zhizheng are not at the same time, how can you look at Wang Zhizheng, how can he not get used to it, after hearing this, he said with a cold face: "Lord Wang, the country has national laws, how can you torture a court member to death?" Wang Zhizheng sneered and sarcastically said: "This remnant of the Donglin Party is stinky and hard, if you don't teach him a lesson, where can you deter Xiao Xiao's people in the world!" I admit that I killed people with heavy hands, but it's better than some people's hypocrisy, right? ”

Ni Wenhuan heard Wang Zhizheng sneering and sarcastically mocking him, and he was angry and didn't know how to answer. The old fox Gu Bingqian mediated in a hoarse voice: "Okay, okay, anyway, it's killing chickens and eating meat, what's the difference between steaming and boiling, don't argue between the two of you." Cui Chengxiu also hurriedly protected Wang Zhizheng and said, "Lord Ni, what does it mean to execute a member of the court without authorization?" Didn't you participate in Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian's affairs? Ni Wenhuan saw Cui Chengxiu protecting his subordinates, and the two of them were alone, so he simply pulled his face and said, "Okay, I'm just giving advice." ”

At this time, Wei Zhongxian, surrounded by the guards, came majestically and sat at the head of the main hall, glanced at everyone and said: "The reason why Wang Zhizheng killed Zhang Kai was because Zhang Kai didn't know the current affairs, insulted the old man and Mrs. Fengsheng, and according to the old man, the flogging to death was a light forgiveness for him. Okay, Master Ni, don't complain. Wei Zhongxian said a few words to Ni Wenhuan, and said to Wang Zhizheng in the attitude of playing fifty boards each: "But then again, Zheng'er, you shouldn't do this kind of thing personally, the jailer is responsible for the murder and punishment of Dongchang, how can you, as a member of the third grade of the imperial court, do such a vulgar thing with your own hands." After that, he took a sip of tea and stared at Wang Zhizheng. Wang Zhizheng hurriedly knelt down and said: "Nine thousand years old lesson, grandson knows that he is wrong, and he will not do such a vulgar thing easily in the future." However, the grandson also heard him abuse Chitose and Mrs. Bongsheng, so he was really angry in his heart and would personally punish him! ”

Wei Zhongxian nodded: "I know your filial piety in my heart. ”

Wang Zhizheng took advantage of this opportunity to tell Wei Zhongxian about letting the two insiders worship Mrs. Ke as his godsister. This kind of thing still has to be told to Wei Zhongxian, because although Wei Zhongxian and Mrs. Hakka are in collusion, after all, they are Wei Zhongxian's personal team, if they don't tell Wei Zhongxian, but convey it to Wei Zhongxian through someone else's mouth, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary suspicion. After all, this kind of leader of theirs attaches great importance to mountaineering, and he also looks very closely at his own people, and he doesn't know whether Wei Zhongxian and Mrs. Hakka have reached the point where the interests of the two are completely identical, regardless of you and me.

After the announcement, Wang Zhizheng raised his eyes to look at Wei Zhongxian. When Wei Zhongxian heard this, his eyelids blinked and said, "Oh, it's good, Mrs. Hakka also admires you very much after all, she and I are indistinguishable from you and me, and it's good to be a sister of Baigan." Wang Zhizheng was affirmed by Wei Zhongxian, and he knew in his heart that Wei Zhongxian didn't mind his intimate relationship with Mrs. Hak.

Wang Zhizheng and Mrs. Hak's adultery, Wei Zhongxian has long found out, and today I saw Wang Zhizheng take the initiative to mention this matter, and I was very relieved in my heart, it seems that Wang Zhizheng did not forget his roots because he hooked up with Mrs. Hakka.

After the morning meeting, Wang Zhizheng did not return to the Yamen of the Ministry of War, but went directly back to the Chongguo Mansion, and he invited Cui Chengxiu for an afternoon to pretend that he wanted to go to Yangxin Building to drink tea and listen to music with Zhu Youzhen, the prince of the letter.

Cui Chengxiu has always trusted Wang Zhizheng 100%, plus Zhu Youzhen is likely to be the future Son of Heaven, and Wang Zhizheng is the cousin of Zhu Youzhen, the prince of Xinwang, the two of them have a lot of contacts, and there is only good for him Cui Chengxiu.

In the afternoon, when he returned to the Chongguo Mansion, Wang Zhizheng took Liu Qingqing and went straight to Yangxin Building in a small sedan chair. When he arrived at Yangxin Building, the shopkeeper smiled and said: "Lord Wang, I believe that the prince has already arrived, and I am waiting for your old man in the private room on the second floor." Wang Zhizheng smiled: "It seems that the prince is more familiar than me." ”

This shopkeeper is Qian Qianmin, the younger brother of Qian Qianyi of the Donglin Party. On the orders of Brother Nai, he was here to help contact the Donglin Party members in the capital.

Wang Zhizheng nodded to Liu Qingqing, and the two moved to the second floor, entered the private room, and sure enough, they saw Zhu Youzhen, the prince of the letter, drinking tea, listening to the graceful singing of the music girl and beating the beat with his hands. Wang Zhizheng said to the music girl: "You step back first, I will talk to the prince for a while." ”

Zhu Youzhen saw Wang Zhizheng and nodded to him: "Ask me to come here today, is there anything you have to say?" Wang Zhizheng smiled: "I killed someone yesterday, do you know?" Zhu Youzhen's face showed compassion: "Zhang K County Commander is a good official with integrity. Why do you want to deal with him personally, is it necessary to slap Mrs. Hakka like this? ”

Wang Zhizheng smiled: "That's why I asked you to come today." After that, he glanced at Liu Qingqing, and Liu Qingqing came out. Zhu Youzhen asked, "What kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?" Wang Zhizheng smiled and said, "I brought you two people, and I think it is necessary for you to get to know each other." ”

At this time, the door opened, and Liu Qingqing came in first, followed by two young men. One is magnificent, dignified in his thirties, and the other is pale and wearing the coarse cloth gown of a teahouse guy.

When they came in, they knelt down on the ground together. Zhu Youzhen looked at the two of them and said with interest: "The two gentlemen are surnamed Taifu? Wang Zhizheng smiled mysteriously: "The one on the left is the famous Mr. Zhang Puzhang of the Fushe Society, the Jiangnan leader of the Donglin Party, and the one on the right is the unlucky ghost Zhang Kai who was killed yesterday!" ”

Zhu Youzhen jumped up in shock: "Why is Mr. Zhang in the capital?!" What's going on with the gap? You, you got him out? Wang Zhizheng smiled and looked at Zhang Kai, who was pale and weak, and said, "Lord Zhang, tell the prince about yesterday's events." Zhang Kai gratefully glanced at his life-saving benefactor Wang Zhizheng, Zhu Youzhen hurriedly said: "Don't kneel, Mr. Zhang, you sit first, Lord Zhang Kai, you also sit quickly, there are injuries on your body, don't stick to vulgarity." Zhang Kai nodded, sat down in the seat below, and told the story of yesterday's rescue. Zhu Youzhen listened, sometimes shaking his head and sighing, sometimes indignant, and sometimes looking at Wang Zhizheng with reverence. When Zhang Kai finished telling what happened to him, Zhu Youzhen said with tears in his eyes: "Lord Zhang has suffered. ”

Zhang Kai said with a weak smile: "It's still Lord Wang's clever calculation, using Li Daitao's stiff strategy, putting him to death and resurrection, saving his next life." Zhu Youzhen held his arm and said, "Lord Zhang, it's not this king who said you, you are right to advocate righteousness, but you have received Wei Zhongxian's cruel revenge, which will do all kinds of harm but not benefit!" Don't take any risks in the future. Zhang Kai said firmly: "Lord Wang, this time I am holding the heart of death, and I am ready to use my blood to awaken the people of the world." ”

Wang Zhizheng sneered: "Lord Zhang, your blood can be used, but please keep it, not now, but when you need it." You recuperate from your injuries first, and when you heal your injuries, you will immediately go incognito, and I will give you important tasks to do. Zhang Kai said impassionedly: "Please rest assured, Lord Wang, you are Zhang's life-saving benefactor, as long as you give me an order, I will definitely go to the soup and die without giving up!" Wang Zhizheng nodded and said, "There is one more thing, your family has come to collect your body." So you can't let anyone know about what you're living about, understand? Including loved ones! ”

Zhang Kai nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Wang, I know that if the news of your release of me spreads, the Hakka ** will definitely frame you, so even my family doesn't know my condition." Wang Zhizheng said, "That's right. In the future, you will be a firewood burner in the firewood room in Yangxin Building. It's best to leave a beard to change your image. ”

After listening to it, he smiled slightly: "I will definitely destroy my face to repay Brother Wang." Hearing that Zhang Kai was about to destroy his face, Wang Zhizheng hurriedly stopped him and said, "No need, Brother Zhang, you just need to grow a beard." Zhang Kai smiled disdainfully: "The ghost gate has been closed for a while, what is it to ruin your face!" Zhu Youzhen also agreed: "The eunuch is cunning, it is better to be careful." ”

Wang Zhizheng still wanted to stop it, but Liu Qingqing said: "My lord, let Zhang Kai decide this matter." ”

Wang Zhizheng had no choice but to nod.

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly saluted Zhang Pu: "Mr. Zhang, this king asked Wang Zhi to contact you in Suzhou before, but I didn't expect you to act so righteously, please accept this king's worship." Zhang Pu hurriedly helped Zhu Youzhen up and said: "Lord, you can't do this great gift, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, not to mention my generation of scholars." Zhu Youzhen expressed his heart to Zhang Pu: "Lord Zhang, the current situation, the situation in the court is completely controlled by the eunuch party, the Donglin party has been suppressed and killed countless people, and the people of the world are all looking forward to the demise of Wei Zhongxian and the eunuchs. Zhu Youzhen is determined to get rid of the second thief and return a peace to the world. ”

Zhang Pu hurriedly said: "Believe in the prince, Zhang Pu has some manpower and connections available in Beijing, the local area and the rivers and lakes, once the world changes, Zhang will support the prince at all costs, please believe in the prince." ”

Wang Zhizheng saw that the meeting he arranged had achieved the desired effect, so he hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, the time is not long, we are not very safe here, Mr. Zhang Pu still has to go south to contact local forces, if the world changes, we need to have local forces in our hands that can resist." Let's start with today. I will arrange all the affairs properly, so you can rest assured. ”

After that, Zhu Youzhen said goodbye to Zhang Pu and Zhang Pu. Then he went downstairs and went back to the palace. Wang Zhizheng and Liu Qingqing arranged the specific work of Zhang Kai and Zhang Pu in Yangxin Building.
