The forbidden army on duty at Zhengyangmen quickly surrounded the squares, and the two assassins thought that they had already had the intention of dying, and when the forbidden army arrived, they both committed suicide by slitting their necks.

Chen Zilong was furious when he heard the news, and ordered Xu Fuyuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to solve the case within a time limit.

As a result, chickens and dogs jumped in the capital, and everyone in the officials was in danger.

But Ma Shiying thought differently, he keenly felt that something was wrong, this matter was too weird.

Ma Shiying was self-aware, and with his talent and influence in the Qingtai Dynasty, it was not enough to make the Qing court jealous and send the dead to assassinate him.

And Qingliu in the middle of the court will not and dare not be so cruel to him, after all, Wu Zheng is standing behind him.

But the problem is that the assassination really happened, and he almost died from two crossbows.

Ma Shiying immediately guessed that this must have a lot to do with the man in black who bumped into the man in black in Ronglai Restaurant before.

But now that Wu Zheng has left the capital, Ma Shiying can't think of who to talk to about this matter for a while.

He didn't believe Chen Zilong, and Qian Sule and Chen Zilong were too close, and it was not within the scope of his thoughts.

Thinking about it, Ma Shiying chose Zhang Huangyan.

……。

"Is that true?" Zhang Huangyan listened to Ma Shiying's words, and couldn't help but feel creepy, the war is coming, and there are Qing court spies among the important ministers in the court?

Ma Shiying said: "How dare Ma joke about this? I talked to Zhen Guogong before, but Zhen Guogong thought that even if the things he was planning were known by the Qing court, the Qing court would make changes, so the investigation of the spy was left after the war, and at the same time, it could also confuse the Qing court. But now, Ma thinks that the spies in the DPRK and China can be blatantly assassinated outside the Zhengyang Gate, and almost succeeded, if it is not Ma today, it is replaced by other important ministers, and the consequences are unimaginable! ”

Zhang Huangyan nodded and said, "Ma Xiang's words are reasonable, this matter must be thoroughly investigated...... Who is the man in black, and Ma Xiangke is a suspicious candidate? ”

Ma Shiying hesitated for a while and said: "This matter is not trivial, Ma has no evidence, and he does not dare to point fingers at others." ”

Zhang Huangyan said hurriedly, "When is it, Ma Xiang is still such a mother-in-law?" Now that Zhenguo Gong is not here, once there is an accident in Tianfu, how to face Zhen Guogong? ”

Ma Shiying said: "Ma felt that the man in black had a familiar feeling before, but he couldn't remember it at the time. When he went to court today, Ma suddenly found out...... There is a person who resembles a person, both in size and ...... Well, that kind of smell, it all matches the man in black. ”

"Who?"

"At that time, Song Zhengyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry."

Zhang Huangyan was dumbfounded, Song Zhengyu?

Isn't that a joke?

Let's not say that Song Zhengyu is a scholar of the Ministry of Industry, and he is a member of the second rank of the dynasty.

Just said that he is the confidant of Shoufu Chen Zilong, so he can't be easily moved.

Zhang Huangyan's voice trembled and asked, "Ma Xiang can't guess wrong, right?" ”

Ma Shiying naturally knew that this matter was very important, and if it was wrong, it would really cause chaos.

Song Zhengyu is a small person, but if this matter really needs to be investigated, it will definitely implicate Chen Zilong, and the court will definitely be split because of this, and before the Qing army can attack it, the Qingtai Dynasty will have already dispersed.

Ma Shiying shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Ma didn't see the appearance of the man in black that day, just based on his own feelings, how dare he guarantee that it must be him?" Worried and undecided, didn't you just come to see Zhang Xiang to discuss a plan? ”

Zhang Huangyan also smiled bitterly, what kind of trick is this, isn't this stuffing a hot potato into his hands?

Can't find it!

You can't help but check it!

That's the difference between knowing and not knowing.

But Zhang Huangyan is not as sleek as Ma Shiying after all, he is young, his blood is strong, and he is famous for his uprightness when he was in Shaoxing Mansion.

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Huang said: "Ma Xiang, you and I are not enough to rely on this matter, we have to find another helper." ”

Ma also thought so. It's just that I can't think of who is suitable for a while? ”

"Mrs. Zhang!"

Zhang Guowei is now in power, although he has not entered the cabinet, but he is already the Taifu of the current dynasty (it is ridiculous to say, the Qingtai Dynasty does not even have an emperor, but there is a Taifu, I don't know whose Taifu it is), and now 40,000 Beijing troops are under his control.

If you can get his support, then you can compete with Chen Zilong.

Ma Shiying asked: "Zhang Gong is gentle by nature, can he stand on your side and me and be the enemy of Shoufu?" ”

Zhang Huang said: "Ma Xiang's words are ridiculous, you and I are only trying to track down the whereabouts of the man in black, why are you the enemy of Shoufu?" ”

Ma Shiying slandered in the belly, this really wants to investigate Song Zhengyu, can you not implicate Chen Zilong?

can think about it, Ma Shiying knew that Zhang Huangyan was right, and he could do something, but he couldn't say it, "Ma lost his words." ”

……。

Zhang Guowei is no longer Zhang Guowei of Shaoxing Mansion.

His heart has also changed due to more than a year of wandering.

Although he is still gentle, he can no longer be called a good man.

Especially after deciding to assist Wu Zheng and create a great cause, Zhang Guowei already has a edge.

After listening to Ma Shiying and Zhang Huang's words, Zhang Guowei pondered for a while, and then responded: "The first assistant has ordered the criminal department to investigate thoroughly with Jing Zhaoyin within a time limit in this matter, and I believe that the first assistant will not be involved...... However, Song Zhengyu is a second-class member of the imperial court after all, and he may not be moved by suspicion and no evidence. ”

Zhang Huang said: "Ma Xiang and I also took this into account, so we came to Zhang Gong for help!" ”

Zhang Guowei pointed at Zhang Huangyan and said with a smile: "Zhang Cangshui, Zhang Cangshui, I have been by Wu Zheng's side for a long time, and I didn't learn it well, so I learned his slippery." ”

Zhang Huangyan's face flushed, that's right, that's what he really thought.

If you can't solve it yourself, you can hand it over to those who can, which is Wu Zheng's usual practice.

To say that it is good is to retreat from the difficulty, and to say that it is difficult to say that it is irresponsible.

Ma Shiying also became embarrassed, he was the one who started this matter, and he was also the one who pushed it to Zhang Huangyan.

Although Zhang Guowei pointed at Zhang Huangyan, these words were in Ma Shiying's ears, and there was no difference between pointing at him.

However, Zhang Guowei couldn't bear to be too embarrassed by the two after all, and said: "In troubled times, you should use heavy codes!" The war is coming, and the interior must be cleared...... In this case, you two must first report the matter to His Highness the Prison before making a decision. ”

Zhang Huang said happily: "Just according to what Zhang Gong said." ”

Ma Shiying frowned and said: "Although I think it is Song Zhengyu, but after all, there is no evidence, if it is to the prison state, this is ...... I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right? And in case ...... There are other people, won't you and I enter the palace and startle the snake? ”

Zhang Guowei smiled slightly, and said: "Song Zhengyu is in a high position, even if he is guilty, it is not for you and me to deal with him, naturally he must have an edict issued by His Royal Highness the Prison State before he can act, as for the grass and snakes, Ma Xiang thinks that after the assassin who stabbed you on the side street committed suicide, the murderer was still not alert?" At this time, it is just self-deception to worry about startling the snake. ”

Ma Shiying was right to think about it, so she agreed to Zhang Guowei's plan, and the three of them entered the palace together.
