Yan Shichong learned about the arrest of the thirty people after the sun went down, and he immediately sent someone to keep an eye on Shen Jiahui: "Don't give him a chance to hand over that letter to the emperor." He instructed.

"My lord, do you want to go and meet Shen Jiahui directly?" Lu Sheng, one of Yan Shichong's disciples, cautiously proposed.

Yan Shichong currently has twenty disciples, who are either strong in martial arts or talented and resourceful, all of whom are loyal to Yan Shichong and have strong action.

Upon learning that Yan Shichong had something important to discuss, they immediately gathered in his study.

"No need, just kill Zhang Yi." Yan Shichong said expressionlessly.

The doorman Liu Sheng immediately said: "It's not good to commit a crime at this time, right? The limelight is on fire. ”

"You can't wait for Zhang Yi to confess everything, right? While the emperor didn't know about it, he quickly resolved it. Yan Shichong's eyes said coldly.

"What if the emperor asks?" Liu Sheng is worried.

"Isn't that easy to deal with? It is said that he committed suicide in fear of sin. ”

"Why?"

"He covets the position of secretary of the Ministry of Works, and his biggest competitor at the moment is Yan Jinxuan, so he wants to get rid of him, but he doesn't have many people to mobilize, so he asked me to help."

"But when those 30 people return to Beijing for trial, they will definitely tell the truth of the facts."

"There was no proof of death then." Yan Shichong smiled slightly.

The crowd didn't dare to say more.

Yan Shichong immediately sent Xun Yi, the disciple with the highest martial arts, to lead fifty masters to round up Zhang Yi.

"Take his head before dawn and come to me." Yan Shichong commanded.

Xun Yi immediately received the order to act.

………….

Shen Mansion, Shen Jiahui took Yan Jinxuan's urgent letter and pondered for a long time.

If he presented this letter to the emperor, it would inevitably cause Yan Shichong and his party to block it, and even his life would be in danger.

With Yan Shichong's character, he will definitely do whatever it takes to achieve his goal. And when it comes to playing tricks, he is far from being Yan Shichong's opponent.

After thinking about it, he decided to keep the matter down.

Naturally, Zhang Yi had to be dismissed, otherwise the Ministry of Industry would soon fall under Yan Shichong's control.

Looking at the Ming Kingdom, except for the emperor, I am afraid that no one dares to openly fight with Yan Shi. He didn't want to be targeted by them.

But this matter is very important, and it is impossible for him not to report to the emperor.

But how do you tell the emperor?

Shen Jiahui paced back and forth in the study, his heart was very anxious.

The butler knocked on the door and came in: "My lord, the door is full of people." ”

Shen Jiahui was shocked.

It seems that Yan Shichong already knows about this.

Then I'm afraid he won't even be able to go to the court today.

He thought about it. He said to the steward, "Go and ask who they are and why they are surrounding my house." ”

The butler did so.

After a while, the butler trotted back and said, "They told you not to announce the contents of the letter, otherwise Elder Yan Ge will come to you for a drink and chat." ”

Then, Yan Shichong just asked him to keep it a secret. Don't dare to ask for his life yet.

He took a deep breath and said, "Tell them I'll keep my mouth shut." ”

After a while, the people sent by Yan Shichong quietly retreated.

Shen Jiahui's hanging heart finally landed.

He carried the letter in his pocket, and rode into the palace in a carriage without even eating breakfast.

While waiting to open the door at the gate of the palace, he glanced at the civil and military officials in the square, but did not find Zhang Yi's figure, and his heart suddenly sank.

In the past, Zhang Yi arrived very early, but what happened today?

Thinking of the situation when his mansion was surrounded by Yan Shichong's people just now, a chill suddenly appeared in his heart—could it be that Zhang Yi had already ......

Shen Jiahui was suddenly a little dizzy and almost unsteady on his feet.

He decided to wait and see. Maybe Zhang Yi is late today.

As the palace gate opened, the civil and military officials entered in order.

Soon, the time for the dynasty came.

It's a pity that Shen Jiahui still didn't see Zhang Yi.

Emperor Zhu Zhi also felt strange, so he asked Shen Jiahui: "Shen Aiqing, why didn't Zhang Aiqing come to the court?" ”

Shen Jiahui was suddenly frightened. He peeked at Yan Shichong and found that the latter was looking at him like a knife.

That look made him feel as if he was being held to the neck with a knife, so even his voice changed: "Back to the emperor, Weichen doesn't know what's going on, he was fine yesterday." There was no talk of asking for leave. ”

Zhu Zhi's face changed slightly, and he immediately sent someone to investigate.

After retiring from the dynasty, Shen Jiahui looked at the emperor's back and stopped talking.

What to do?

You can't ignore such a big thing in the Ministry of Industry, right?

In distress, Yan Shichong passed by him. He said to him with a smile: "Lord Shen, if I were you, I would tell the emperor that Zhang Yi wanted to frame Yan Jinxuan in private, but Yan Jinxuan found out, so he committed suicide in fear of sin, so wouldn't there be nothing?" ”

After that, he stepped forward and patted Shen Jiahui on the shoulder before walking away.

Shen Jiahui only felt that the place he had photographed was stiff. He couldn't slow down for a long time.

He returned to the yamen with a heavy heart.

Soon, the people sent by the emperor 'invited' him to the emperor's imperial study.

"Shen Aiqing, Zhang Aiqing died at the back door of her house this morning, do you know about it?" Zhu Zhi asked as he stared at his face.

Shen Jiahui only felt that his knees were weak and he almost fell to the ground.

"Back to the emperor, Weichen doesn't know." Shen Jiahui replied in a trembling voice.

"I forgive you for not knowing, but I will send someone to investigate, and you should confirm the candidate for the right squire as soon as possible in the next few days."

"Yes."

Shen Jiahui walked out of the imperial study with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Walking on the road leading to the palace gate, his brain hurt as if it had been bombarded by something.

Suddenly, a man hurried after him, slipped him a note, and left.

He opened the note and saw that it was Yan Shichong who wrote it, which read: "I have already sent someone to seal the mouth of the Qinglonghe local county order, you had better remind Yan Jinxuan to restrain me a little, otherwise it will not only be him who will suffer." ”

Yan Shichong didn't dare to attack Yan Jinxuan at once because he was somewhat afraid of the influence of the four heroes of the Yan family in the court, and it would not be cost-effective for him to make all the ministers in the court point the finger at him because of this matter, so he let him go for the time being.

It seems that this matter can only be whitewashed as a personal grudge between Zhang Yi and Yan Jinxuan.

Shen Jiahui let out a long sigh and walked out of the palace with heavy steps.

Three days later, Zhang Yi was convicted of 'suicide in fear of sin' and was buried on the same day.

None of the civil and military officials dared to raise objections.

Shen Jiahui seemed to have aged ten years overnight.

He personally went to Zhang Yi's funeral and wrote a memorial full of 300 words.

Reading and reading, Shen Jiahui couldn't cry, and he suddenly realized that all his previous ambitions were quietly buried with tears at this moment. (To be continued.) )

PS: Dear friends, the second shift is coming. The third watch is around 11-12 p.m. Ask for subscriptions and monthly passes ( ̄▽ ̄). Yan Shichong is the image of a traitor, so he writes coldly when describing him.
