Cui Yingyuan was a little panicked when he learned that he was about to be arraigned, but when he learned that it was Wang Zhizheng who interrogated him, he smiled easily and said to Sun Yunhe and Yang Huan: "It's okay, it's my own people who are arraigned." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Sun Yunhe said uneasily: "However, whether Wang Zhizheng will protect us according to the meaning of the nine thousand years old, this person is too insidious, and he can't figure him out at all." ”

Cui Yingyuan, who is five big and three five, shook his head: "Hmph, nine thousand years old let him protect me, does he dare to argue with nine thousand years old?"

Sun Yunhe also felt that what Cui Yingyuan said was reasonable, so he no longer doubted it.

At this time, the housekeeper in the mansion came to report: "Master, Wang Zhizheng's staff Master Qin is here." ”

Hearing that Master Qin was coming, Sun Yunhe and Yang Huan retreated.

Cui Yingyuan stood up and walked to the door to greet him, and Master Qin had already strode in.

Master Qin looked around with a thief's eyebrows, and then gave a deep salute to Cui Yingyuan, Cui Yingyuan asked puzzledly, "Mr. Qin, what are you looking at?"

Master Qin smiled and said, "I'll see if anyone listens to the wall, the Great Commander said that today's words can only be heard by you alone, and you can't let others hear them." ”

Cui Yingyuan laughed, invited Master Qin into the room and said, "Master Qin is too worried. ”

After entering the house, Cui Yingyuan personally poured hot tea for Master Qin, Master Qin took the tea and said: "Master Cui, you and I are the ones who do things for the master, of course we must do our best to do the things delivered by the master, after all, it is to honor the master to put it bluntly or for my own future." ”

Master Qin's strange words made Cui Yingyuan, who had always believed in violence the king, a little confused, so he looked at Master Qin puzzled and asked, "Mr. Qin, the Great Commander asked you to come over, is it just to teach me a lesson?"

Master Qin shook his head and said: "Master Cui, I came with a nine-thousand-year-old edict and a message from my master, Commander Wang, you know, Cui Chengxiu framed you in front of the emperor, saying that you arrested Jia Sanqu, a house slave in his house, and beat him into a trick, and the emperor asked Commander Wang to re-investigate the case thoroughly." ”

Cui Yingyuan touched his head and said, "This... I know this, but there is a testimony below, Huang Hengruo, the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, and Wang Zhiyi, the deputy general, they can all prove that Jia San is the murderer. ”

Master Qin grinned: "Master Cui, it seems that if I don't come this time, I guess you won't be able to save your head." ”

When Cui Yingyuan heard Master Qin say this, cold sweat suddenly dripped down his head: "You... What are you talking about?"

Master Qin stood up, put his hands behind his back and said: "The nine-thousand-year-old edict said, this time the Great Commander Wang interrogated you, you have to prove that the evidence is insufficient, let alone tell Lord Huang Hengruo, so that you can keep your peace, if you forcibly bite the evidence, Lord Huang Hengruo has provided you with evidence, you are likely to be killed this time!"

Cui Yingyuan was shocked: "What?

Master Qin said: "Cui Chengxiu." ”

Cui Yingyuan asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Master Qin said: "Think about it, Cui Chengxiu falsely accused you in front of the emperor, and the nine thousand years old immediately went to intercede with you, but when he entered the palace, he was rejected by the nine thousand years old, indicating that he wanted to thoroughly investigate that you were the emperor's intentions." If you insist that you are wronged, it will only make the emperor unbearable, and it will ruin the 9,000-year-old event. When the time comes, you grit your teeth and say that Lord Huang Hengruo instructed you to arrest Jia San, you offended the emperor on the one hand, offended the nine thousand years old on the other, offended Cui Yingyuan on the other, offended Huang Hengruo on the other, and made Lord Wang Zhizheng in a dilemma, offended five powerful people, even if you have five heads, it is not enough to cut off!"

Master Qin's words landed, Cui Yingyuan suddenly turned pale with fright, the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and he said cowardly in a cold sweat: "How... Who is trying to harm you, is it Lord Huang Hengruo or Cui Chengxiu?"

Master Qin hurriedly silenced him: "You can't talk nonsense!Master Cui, it's not that you offended people, but you offended Cui Chengxiu, so Cui Chengxiu chose to let you be a victim, of course, the emperor also felt that he needed to support him once, Cui Chengxiu came to restrain the nine thousand years old, so you became a victim." If you don't want to be a victim, the only way is to obey the arrangement of Lord Wang and the nine thousand years old, understand?"

Cui Yingyuan said with a bitter face: "But if Commander Wang sentences me to death, then I won't die too much!"

Master Qin said coldly: "Don't worry, the nine thousand years old have explained to Lord Wang, and Lord Wang has also promised the nine thousand years old that this time you will be demoted at most, and you will not even be dismissed." The emperor just borrowed you to suppress the nine thousand years old, not really wanted your head, if you honestly stand up and take the blame, and demote you now, in fact, the nine thousand years old will soon give you a promotion, if you don't follow the meaning of the nine thousand years old, Cui Chengxiu will beat you into a trick, and the nine thousand years old can't protect you, you are really a dead end!"

After listening to the cold analysis of Master Qin, a thief-eyed guy, Cui Yingyuan had no choice but to sit down, and said together: "Mr. Qin, please tell Commander Wang, I will do what he says, and I will hand it over to him whether it is honor or disgrace." ”

Master Qin nodded and said, "By the way, if Huang Heng is the eldest son of Huang Liji, the first assistant of the cabinet, so you must not mention him at any time, if you mention that he offends Huang Liji, it will be even more difficult for you to save your life." ”

Cui Yingyuan pounded the table with his hand and said: "I really don't want to be this official, you help me tell Lord Wang, after this matter, I am willing to return to my hometown with gold, silver and jewelry, and I don't want to wander in this whirlpool anymore." ”

Master Qin was secretly happy in his heart, but he said: "This is up to you, as the saying goes, it's easy to get on the boat and difficult to get off the boat, since you have come this far, it is even more difficult to get out, you just listen to Lord Wang's arrangement, the glory and wealth can be guaranteed, maybe you can go further!"

After that, Master Qin arched his hand: "Commander Cui is good for himself!"

Then he turned around and walked away for the most part, leaving only Cui Yingyuan, who was full of entanglement and depression.

Master Qin successfully completed the task, persuaded Cui Yingyuan to confess, and promised not to mention Huang Hengruo's matter, returned to the Chongguo Mansion, and reported to Wang Zhizheng.

Wang Zhizheng was holding his son Liangzhi to play in the study, and when he heard that Master Qin was back, he handed Liangzhi to Ruan Shi beside him, and said with a smile: "You take your son and step down." Ruan nodded and retreated, and Master Qin walked in.

Master Qin reported the ins and outs of the matter to Wang Zhizheng, Wang Zhizheng laughed and took out a copy of the Book of Changes from the cabinet and handed it to Master Qin, Master Qin took the Book of Changes and said in surprise: "My lord, this Book of Changes is an engraved copy of the Taiping Xingguo of the Song Dynasty, this is a unique book, where did you find it?"

Wang Zhizheng smiled generously and said: "This is what the prince bought from King Gui for 200,000 taels of white flowers, and I gave it to you!"

Wang Zhizheng casually said the words "I gave it to you", as if it was not an antique worth 200,000 taels, but a gadget, Master Qin was shocked, holding the "Book of Changes" with both hands and said: "Please take back the lord's life, please tell the prince, where can I afford such a big gift with a small staff?"

Wang Zhizheng smiled and said gently to Master Qin: "Mr. is the reincarnation of Wolong, how can you not afford this book, even if you accept it, if you don't accept it, you don't know the person of King Xin, he will definitely think that you are not sincere in planning for him!"

Master Qin cautiously looked at this yellowed paper book "Book of Changes", and sighed: "This book is an engraved copy of the Taiping Xingguo in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the title of the book is personally mentioned by Song Taizong, the annotation is Prime Minister Kou Zhun, and the title page has the signatures of Cheng Yi, Zhu Xi and Wang Shouren of my dynasty.

Wang Zhizheng said lightly: "Master Qin, let me tell you: this book is held by the successive ministers who protect the country, and with it, you will be the future protector of the Ming Empire!"

Master Qin knelt on the ground, and was immediately moved to tears: "The person who is a confidant dies, please tell the lord to tell the prince, and in the future, Qin Yong will not give up!"

Wang Zhizheng laughed and said: "Where can I use Mr. Qin to go to the soup, but Mr. Qin will have to work hard to plan in the future!"
