Chen Xiaoting took the document of removing his fame and handed it over to Zhou Wenzhu, and was praised by Zhou Wenzhu.

Originally, Zhou Wenzhu thought that he was going to wipe Chen Xiaoting's ass, but after having this document, things became less tricky.

When Chen Xiaoting said that the condition was to spare Lu Zhengquan, Zhou Wenzhu agreed without thinking about it.

After Lu Zhengquan went through this incident, he would have to suffer in the future, and he couldn't do it for Jinyiwei to move him personally.

It is precisely because after getting this document that Zhou Wenzhu is not polite to the people arrested in the yamen, and even if he is ordered to go down, he will be tortured.

On March 18, the sixteenth year of Yongzhi, this was the third day of the arrest of the scholars, and the hundred households were quieter than usual.

Not because there are few people, but because today is the day when Huang Ting's father-in-law comes, which makes everyone including Zhou Wenzhu feel great pressure.

Huang Ting, as the eunuch guarding the town of Yongxi, is different from the eunuchs of other provinces, because he almost became the celebrant eunuch.

Standing on the steps of the yamen, Zhou Wenzhu turned around and asked, "When is it now, why haven't you come yet?" ”

At this time, the only person who could talk to Zhou Wenzhu was Zhang Zhenshan, who had a more transcendent status, and only heard him reply: "Don't worry, adults, you always have to come!" ”

In fact, Zhang Zhenshan can understand Zhou Wenzhu's anxiety, now that the matter is happening on the ground in Guangde, as a hundred households, he naturally has the greatest responsibility.

Although the riots of the scholars have been suppressed, there is still no progress in the counterfeit drug case, and it is still unknown who is behind it.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhenshan was not calm in his heart, and his responsibility for this matter was not small.

In addition to the most ruthless punishments, Yang Yuanjiao, the torture instrument of Jinyiwei, has tasted it all, but he still hasn't explained anything.

For the life and death of the family, Yang Yuanjiao has been able to hold on until now, which has to be said to be a miracle.

But now Zhang Zhenshan also has some speculation about the case, and the person behind Yang Yuanjiao is likely to be in the prefect's yamen.

It's a pity that Yang Yuanjiao didn't confess, and Zhang Zhenshan didn't dare to go directly to the prefect's yamen to arrest people, let alone bring all three chief officials to the hundred households for questioning.

It's just that Yang Yuanjiao was arrested, and it caused a storm in the city, if Jinyiwei took Li Changshan and the other three away, I am afraid that the ground in Yongxi will tremble.

The power of civil officials is definitely the largest in the court, and even the emperor is uncomfortable when these people make a fuss.

Just as Zhang Zhenshan was thinking about this, there was a series of horses' hooves from the alleyway, and at the same time, there was the sound of the rumbling of the wheels.

Hearing this, Zhou Wenzhu's expression was shocked, and his whole person tensed, as if he was a student who wanted to see the teacher.

A group of people appeared at the corner of the street, led by a few people holding flags, with the words "Eunuch of Yongxi Town, East Investigation Factory" written on it.

And the only carriage in the team is thought to be Huang Ting's car.

When the team came to the hundred households and stopped, Zhou Wenzhu hurriedly walked down the steps, came to the carriage and knelt down on one knee and said: "Zhou Wenzhu, one hundred households of the hundred households of the lowly Guangde Hundred Households, see my father-in-law!" ”

And behind Zhou Wenzhu, all the flag officials, including Chen Xiaoting, also knelt down.

If he wants to kneel down for a eunuch, Chen Xiaoting is actually very repulsed in his heart, but people always have to bow to reality, after all, even Zhou Wenzhu can't avoid it.

At this time, a eunuch stepped forward on the left and right sides of the carriage, one lifted the curtain, and the other bowed down to the side of the carriage.

In fact, Chen Xiaoting wanted to look up to see who was in the carriage, but reason told him that it was better to keep his head down at this time.

At this time, a feminine man in a red python robe slowly got out of the carriage.

This person is Huang Ting, the eunuch guarding Yongxi Town, who is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, but he looks even more charming than a woman.

But this is just what it seems, only to hear Huang Ting's voice said coldly: "A group of scholars who are powerless to restrain chickens will make you a cup bow and snake shadow, and hundreds of households will hide in the yamen and dare not come out, is this still the yamen of Jinyiwei?" ”

Huang Ting's questioning was like a knife, and every sentence was directly inserted into the hearts of Zhou Wenzhu and others, and no one knew what the consequences would be next.

At this time, Zhou Wenzhu could only kowtow and say: "Humble and incompetent, father-in-law forgives sins!" If you are guilty of humiliation, please punish just now! ”

When he said this, Zhou Wenzhu was very aggrieved in his heart, he had hated eunuchs extremely much in his life, but now he wanted to prostrate in front of the other party.

But at this time, Huang Ting did not let go of Zhou Wenzhu's meaning, and then said: "You are incompetent, that person surnamed Yang has been arrested for so many days, but there is no trial result until now, what are you doing on this errand?" ”

The two points that Huang Ting grasped are the most important problems in the current Guangde Hundred Households, and Zhou Wenzhu cannot refute them at all.

At this time, Zhang Zhenshan also bowed his head and said: "You are guilty of despicability, please punish just now!" ”

The scene became deadly silent, everyone was worried about Huang Ting's anger, and the time became very long at this time.

After about a few breaths, Huang Ting stepped on someone and got out of the carriage, and stopped when he came to Zhou Wenzhu.

At this time, Huang Tingcai said: "But you are not all useless, at least those sour Confucians can still be driven away, but you need to be persecuted!" ”

Huang Ting's tone changed, which made Zhou Wenzhu breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, but he still said humbly: "It's only because of my humble incompetence that this disaster was caused, and I ask my father-in-law to punish him!" ”

But at this time, Huang Ting preached: "You Jinyi Wei is on an errand for the emperor, if you are afraid of wolves and tigers, how can you share your worries for the emperor?" ”

This is almost clear that Zhou Wenzhu was afraid of the civil official group, so he did not dare to do anything to the scholars.

Zhou Wenzhu did not quibble about this, but said directly: "What the adults said is that they are confused!" ”

At this time, Huang Tingcai said: "Okay, get up!" ”

In general, Zhou Wenzhu's attitude of admitting his mistake was not bad, Huang Ting didn't want to delve into this matter anymore, it was easy to abolish Zhou Wenzhu's position, but the relationship with the Yongxi Qianhu Institute was poor.

Only then did Zhou Wenzhu stand up, and everyone behind him also got up, but they all bowed down and didn't dare to look directly at Huang Ting.

Only Chen Xiaoting's curiosity and wanted to see what the eunuch looked like, so he raised his head slightly and glanced at Huang Ting.

But it was just a glimpse, Chen Xiaoting lowered his head, he didn't want to touch his brows.

Zhou Wenzhu stood aside at this time and said respectfully to Huang Ti: "Tea has been prepared in the yamen, and I invite my father-in-law to go in and rest for a while, so as to relieve the fatigue of the journey!" ”

So the group walked to the hundred households, and Chen Xiaoting, as a small flag officer, walked behind, but his eyes kept staring at Huang Ting's back.

The scene just now had a great impact on him, and the previous impression of the humility of the eunuch disappeared, and at this time it was really all turned into jealousy.

These rootless people cling to the imperial power, and they have to be trusted by the emperor more than Jinyiwei, and their authority is really unimaginable.

In the west hall of the lobby of Zhou Wenzhu's hundred households, Huang Ting sat alone in the main seat at this time, and there were two little eunuchs standing on his left and right, and Zhou Wenzhu and Zhang Zhenshan stood as the first attendants.

In fact, it stands to reason that Zhang Zhenshan is not qualified to stay here, and he was only left behind because he came from a thousand households.

After handing the teacup to the little eunuch, Huang Ting said: "Tell our family the ins and outs of the fake medicine carefully!" ”

Zhang Zhenshan knew this better, so he bowed down and replied: "Back to my father-in-law, this is how things ......"

After Zhang Zhenshan's detailed explanation, Huang Ting learned more about the matter, but he was still dissatisfied with the current progress.

After the three of them chatted for a few words, Huang Ting asked Zhou Wenzhu: "Zhou Baihu, you were full of jealousy of those scholars before, how can you use thunder to drive them away this time?" ”

These words made Zhou Wenzhu very embarrassed, but he still said: "Everything is in accordance with the orders of the father-in-law, and the humble position is naturally indomitable!" ”
