"Haven't you seen it through, after so many years, you still haven't grown at all." Jin Yu's tepid words frightened the man and knelt on the ground.

"Master, it's a slave who talks a lot."

"Alright, alright, get up, look at the eyesore."

"Yes, master." After hearing this, the man quickly got up from the ground, and he did not dare to disobey the words of his master.

"Jin Shuichen used to underestimate him, you see what he is doing in this lobby today, which is a scheming. You wait, tonight's cell in Dali Temple must be solid, and not a single fly can fly out. If we send someone to go, we will only throw ourselves into the net, why bother with that, it is better to search Zhang Qing's house, and he doesn't know who the people behind the scenes are, so there is nothing to fear. ”

"It's the master, I see."

……

At night, in the cell of Dali Temple, Zhang Qing's face was depressed, it was already late at night, but where could Zhang Qing sleep, he kept pacing back and forth in the cell. Because of the fire, it was more because of the dozen or so mouths during the day, and a series of artillery pieces rose on the high and swollen mouths, and it hurt so much that I couldn't do it.

"How is that good...... At first glance, this Shi Yuandao is standing at the end of An Yinhuo, not to mention that there is the prince behind him, do I really want to capsize in the gutter this time! ”

Zhang Qing talked to himself in the middle of the night and no one said about him, because Shi Yuandao was afraid that something would happen to him, so he specially ordered the officials to lock him in the most secret and solid cell, and the surrounding prisoners were emptied.

At this moment, even if he was shouting loudly, only the three officials outside could hear it, but in the second half of the night, the three of them had already begun to doze off and find a corner to sleep.

Zhang Qing's heart was like frying oil, and he was worried that if he continued like this, his life would not be guaranteed. Originally, he had only one role in this matter, that is, to admonish and complain, and use his identity as the imperial historian to pull Fang Zhengyun off the horse. But why did it become his conspiracy to frame and attempt murder...... Oh no, two innocent people died. He Zhang Qingming is just a small character, why has he become the main messenger behind the scenes now?

"Stop! Who are you......

Zhang Qingzheng was puzzled, and suddenly heard a shout from the officer, followed by the sound of falling to the ground...... Zhang Qing chuckled in his heart, wouldn't it......

At this moment, I saw a figure in a night suit appear in front of the cell, holding a bright knife in his hand, Zhang Qing was suddenly frightened and his legs trembled.

"Someone, there's an assassin...... Come on! ”

As soon as Zhang Qing saw the man in black, he immediately ran towards the inside of the prison with his hands and feet, and shouted for help while opening his mouth. Seeing this, the man in black sped up his movements, and with a big knife, he actually cut off the lock of the cell, opened the door and came in, and slashed towards Zhang Qing. Zhang Qing trembled with fright when he saw it, and shouted for help even louder.

At this critical moment, the man in black was suddenly hit in the knee by a small pebble, his body staggered, and he knelt on one leg, and the knife was crooked. At the same time, I saw a guard in a black suit jumping out from under the bed board of the cell, and it turned out that he had shot the small pebble hidden weapon just now.

This person looked like he was hiding under the bed early, because the foot of the bed was dim, and this person was wearing black clothes, so no one found out, even Zhang Qing stayed in this cell all night and didn't find that he was lying under the bed.

The two of them fought together in an instant, and Zhang Qing hurriedly ran to the corner to hide when he saw this. The guard was obviously much better than the man in black, and it didn't take long for the man in black to be defeated, and one of them turned around and fled, and the guard chased him out. Seeing this, Zhang Qing sat on the ground and congratulated himself for the rest of his life.

……

People will always cherish life more after experiencing life and death, so when he saw the prince and the prince walking in from outside the cell, Zhang Qing burst into tears and knelt on the ground all of a sudden.

"Master Taifu save me, I will recruit, I will recruit anything, I just ask Lord Taifu to save my life."

Seeing this, the prince hurriedly took two steps, helped Zhang Qing up and said, "What's the matter with Lord Zhang, this Lord Shi sent me news at night, saying that Dali Temple has entered the killer...... Fortunately, the old man arranged the guards in advance. Hey, people think a lot when they're old, I'm afraid that someone will be unfavorable to you tonight, so I arranged someone early, but I didn't expect it to be used. ”

"It turned out to be Master Taifu, the grace of saving his life, Zhang Qing can't repay it." Saying that, he bowed deeply.

If it was a weekday, if it wasn't for the life and death crisis just experienced, Zhang Qing might have figured out, how could this Taifu come so quickly? Could it be that this Taifu also lives in the yamen?

Jin Yu was right, the crown prince Jin Shuichen had already arranged someone in the prison, as long as he sent a killer, he would go and not return at any time. But he didn't expect that Jin Shuichen would be more cunning than he expected, since the other party didn't come, we would do it ourselves...... Therefore, such a good show of killer assassination, guard ambush, and waiting for the king to enter the urn is actually his own person, and Jin Yu was completely hacked by Jin Shuichen.

"Master Zhang, don't say that, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, so I can't watch you die. It's just that the people behind this scene are inevitably too ruthless, and they actually want to kill people and kill people......"

Taifu shook his head as he spoke, and at the same time raised his eyes to see Zhang Qing's expression. I saw that Zhang Qing's whole face was gloomy, probably because he was frightened just now, and he was a little pale. But after listening to Taifu's words, Zhang Qing still didn't speak, and Taifu groaned in his heart......

"Okay, I'll go back too, I can't help but toss when I'm old, but I'm afraid that the other party won't give up...... It's okay once or twice, if you have to die, I don't have enough power, old man. Lord Zhang, take care of yourself. Hey......"

Zhang Qing was stunned when he heard this, he was still hesitating, but when he saw that Taifu was going to throw his hands and leave, he suddenly didn't dare to delay any longer. Zhang Qing had a really ups and downs today, as if all the bad luck had been put on his shoulders, and he was in shock at the moment, so as soon as Taifu put pressure, he collapsed instantly, grabbed Taifu's sleeve and shouted: "Master Taifu, don't go, please save me." ”

"It's not that Lord Zhang doesn't want me to help you, but the old man is helpless in this matter, even if the old man can save you for a while, but tomorrow after you are convicted, the emperor will not let you go, and the people will not let you go. Master Zhang, I didn't say you, why are you so confused, have you ever thought about what your family will do if you are asked? ”

Taifu's face was distressed, but he was relieved in his heart, in order to let Zhang Qing take refuge wholeheartedly, Taifu put out the worst results one by one, so that Zhang Qing had no way out.

Zhang Qing burst into tears when he heard this, and he was really scared at this moment, if he really died, his parents and children would inevitably be scolded by everyone, and they were even likely to encounter misfortune, look at An Yinhuo, Zhang Qing shuddered.

"Master Taifu, I said, I'll say everything, please save my family."

Taifu saw Zhang Qing like this, but he couldn't sympathize with him, and now he knows his parents and knows that the child is innocent. Did you think about this when you dealt with An Yinhuo? The old and the old, the young and the young, have such compassion and will not come to this day.

"Master Zhang, I know that regret can be saved. Don't worry, as long as you tell everything you know, the emperor will definitely help you plead for a thing or two, and it is not difficult to save your life. ”

"Lord Xie, Lord Xie......"

"Lord Zhang, tell me who is behind this scene first?"

Zhang Qing pondered for a while, relieved his mind and then spoke, "Master Taifu won't tell you, I haven't seen anyone behind this scene once, and every time a mysterious person in black contacts me." At the beginning, I didn't want to be manipulated like this, but the lives of the whole family were in the hands of others, so I had to obey orders. ”

"Oh, Lord Zhang, I told the emperor to listen to your statement, this, the emperor is hard to believe......"

Taifu's words are subtle, but Zhang Qing is not stupid, if he wants the emperor to spare him, he must show his own value, otherwise who will care about his life or death?

"Master Taifu has one more thing, I guess this person should be one of the three kings. Because every time I finish the things I explain over there, there will always be certain benefits. ”

"The benefits? What are the benefits? ”

"My lord, you also know that I have stayed in both the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Officials, and I came to the Inspectorate at the end, and over the years, I have always been promoted every time I have completed the other party's instructions, and sometimes, I will be sent some fat ......."

Listening to Zhang Qing's words, the crown prince took a deep breath, which means that this person controls the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry, and only the Manchu Dynasty has such ability...... Becoming a king...... Shi Lekang!

"Zhang Qing can't talk nonsense like this!"

Taifu is still suspicious of Zhang Qing's words, this Cheng Wang Shi Lekang is a supporter of the emperor today, and he also made great efforts back then, how can this be him?

"My lord, what I have done over the years, what tasks I have received, and what benefits I have gained, all of them have been recorded in a notebook and placed in the secret compartment of my study.

After Zhang Qing finished speaking, he saw that Taifu's face was gloomy and uncertain, and his heart sank, he also knew that Shi Lekang was a supporter of the emperor, and he was afraid that the other party would still think that he was a chess piece and sacrificed himself to frame the king.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qing smiled, "The adults must be afraid that I will sow discord...... My lord, as long as you send someone to fetch the things, you will understand that the things of the past ten years cannot be faked. ”

Taifu had to admit that Zhang Qing's words did have some truth. You can judge the year of the thing from the handwriting and paper, if Zhang Qingzhen has been recording it for more than ten years, then the thing must be true.

If this is the case, it will be terrible, if Shi Lekang harbors evil intentions, then the current situation will become more severe, and the emperor will lose Shi Lekang as if he has lost an arm.

Master Taifu sighed in his heart when he thought of this, don't be gullible, don't talk lightly, don't rely on, in front of the throne, it's difficult for you to distinguish who is an enemy and who is a friend, your own people's calculations are the most unguardable, and the person who stabs you in the back is often the person you trust the most......

"Come on, go and check, go to Lord Zhang's study to check for me to understand!"

"Yes"
