Recently, Yan Shichong has been gathering with his 300 disciples almost every night to discuss secretly.

The same is true tonight.

Also present to participate in the secret discussion were Yan Shichong's henchmen in various fields.

"Liu Chengze, the imperial envoy of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, proposed to the emperor yesterday to retry Zou Tong's case, thinking that the cause of his death is strange, and the emperor has approved it, Lord Yan, do we need to stop this matter?" asked Feng Yunteng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, cautiously.

Zou Tong, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was killed by Yan Dang for impeaching Yan Shichong for wantonly using private individuals, and the result of the trial of the three divisions at that time was insufficient evidence, and the two divisions of the three divisions, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, were all Yan Shichong's henchmen, so no one dared to investigate the matter in depth.

As the only one in the three divisions that did not have Yan Shichong's henchmen invaded, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was obviously going to act against Yan Shichong this time.

Yan Shichong sneered when he heard this: "No matter how much a metropolitan procuratorate jumps, it is impossible to find more evidence, and let them do these useless work." ”

"Your Excellency is wise, but in case they combine other ministers to come" Feng Yunteng still didn't dare to rest assured, after all, there were still some ministers in the court who were on the opposite side of Yan Shichong.

If the emperor listens to Yan Shichong's words on the ground, he can rest easy, but the emperor is a person who listens to the words of both sides from time to time, so he has to have some scruples.

"Unless they dare to write en masse, they don't have to worry." Yan Shichong said confidently.

He knew that in today's situation, it would not be possible to have the situation like 20 years ago when the ministers collectively wrote to impeach Wen Yan.

Feng Yunteng stopped talking.

"Ah Liu, I asked you to give the Jinyi Guard Commander to find fifty martial arts subordinates, how did you accomplish" Yan Shichong looked at the man named Ah Liu and asked. He was going to use these fifty people to replace the small group of non-strict party members in the Jinyi Guard.

"Back to my lord. It has been found, and it will be replaced tomorrow. Ah Liu hurriedly said.

"Well, at the moment, we still have the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate that have not been captured, so some things will still be restricted, everyone has to be extra careful on weekdays, but everything related to these departments has to be told to me as soon as possible." Yan Shichong said.

Everyone nodded their heads.

Among the three hundred guests, there was a person who had not spoken more than ten words in the three months since he was recruited, and at this moment he was sitting quietly in the corner, his bright and sharp eyes sweeping towards Yan Shichong and the others from time to time.

He remembered the names and looks of all the doormen, as well as the appearance and official positions of all of Yan Shichong's henchmen, and most importantly, he quietly wrote down every conversation between them.

this day. After everyone finished the secret discussion, Yan Shichong invited everyone to drink wine and eat meat. For a while, the whole hall was filled with the sound of eating and drinking.

During the banquet, Yan Shichong drank a little too high and muttered a few drunken words, which the others didn't notice. But the taciturn doorman heard it clearly. He deliberately picked up his wine glass and walked to Yan Shichong's side to toast with Yan Shichong.

"Who are you, when did you come in," Yan Shichong, who was drunk, asked with a frown.

"Back to my lord. My name is Wei Yuanting. It's been three months since I came here. The man replied softly.

"Yes, what is your specialty," Yan Shichong asked again.

The people who can become his disciples are either good at strategy, strong in martial arts, or extremely talented in learning. In short, you have to account for one of them.

"Strategy, talent, and martial arts." Wei Yuanting said calmly.

Yan Shichong glanced at him with half-squinted eyes, and said slowly: "If I want to have higher power, what do you think I should do?"

"My lord, your power is already above 10,000 people under one person." Wei Yuanting reminded with a smile.

"What if I don't think that's enough?"

"As a courtier, I am afraid that it is not practical to be in a high position, and I hope that the adults will accept it when they see it."

Yan Shichong sneered and drank after you.

"But if the adults really have this ambition, the little ones are willing to do their best to help you." Wei Yuanting continued.

"Well, you've finally said a good word." Yan Shichong pointed at him with a smile, and then fell drunk on the table.

A smile appeared on Wei Yuanting's face, and he drank the wine from his glass and slowly returned to his original position.

The next night, Wei Yuanting, Yan Jinxuan, Feng Zichao, and Li Zhitong made an appointment to meet in the box of a teahouse on Bai Teng Street.

In order to prevent attention, Wei Yuanting made a disguise, so it looked very different from his original appearance.

He informed Yan Jinxuan in detail of Yan Shichong's recent speech, and handed over the conversation materials he recorded.

After listening to Wei Yuanting's story, Yan Jinxuan said: "You will work hard and slowly become his confidant." Remember, you have to take it one step at a time, and don't make him suspicious. ”

"Yes."

So the three of them said goodbye to him.

Wei Yuanting was the person Yan Jinxuan asked Feng Zichao to find a few years ago, and he was responsible for monitoring and collecting Yan Shichong's private conversations, while Feng Zichao and Li Zhitong were responsible for tracking Yan Shichong's every move.

After sending Wei Yuanting away, Yan Jinxuan said to Feng Zichao: "Help me copy a copy of the conversation content of Zou Tong's case, and hand it over to me early tomorrow morning." ”

"Your Excellency wants to hand it over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

"That's right. If the Zou Tong incident had been handled in the same way as those similar incidents in the past, the DPRK and China would soon no longer dare to impeach his courtiers. Yan Jinxuan said with a firm gaze.

Feng Zichao knew that Yan Jinxuan wanted the Metropolitan Procuratorate to grasp more and more effective evidence in this retrial action, although it may not be possible for Yan Shichong to fall because of this in the end, but at least it can give him a powerful counterattack, so that he will not dare to act so boldly and recklessly in the next impeachment incident.

"My lord, why don't you go and investigate this matter yourself, with your ability, you will definitely be able to find out about this matter." Li Zhitong asked.

"Since this matter is within the scope of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it is inconvenient for me to directly intervene." Yan Jinxuan said with a smile.

If he intervenes in this matter clearly, it means that he is working against Yan Shichong, which is not a wise move under the current situation.

A few days later, the Metropolitan Procuratorate submitted the latest investigation materials of Zou Tong's case to the emperor.

Emperor Zhu Zhi couldn't help but widen his eyes when he found that the physical witnesses of the case had been prepared on this document.

"Liu Aiqing, I know, I will leave this matter to the third division to decide."

"Yes."

There is no doubt that this information was suppressed by Dali Temple and the Criminal Department for various reasons during the trial of the three divisions, and it was whitewashed as the result of the failure of Yan Shichong's subordinates.

Although the emperor knew that Yan Shichong had done this, he thought that his credit to the Ming Kingdom far outweighed this mistake, so he did not pursue the matter again, but personally criticized Yan Shichong in the court on the grounds that Yan Shichong was not strict with his subordinates.

"Yan Aiqing, don't take it as an example"

"Yes, Your Majesty." To be continued
