At the time of the stalemate, Niu Er and others pushed Zhang Wen's family members to the front yard, and when the family members saw Zhang Wen, they wanted to rush over to meet them, but they were held by the captains in brocade clothes, and they couldn't move, and they cried loudly, and the cry shook the sky.

Zhang Wen waved his hand and said, "That's it, that's it, I'll go with you." ”

The third-grade military attache grabbed the hem of Zhang Wen's shirt and cried: "Master Hou, you can't go, let me go for you." ”

Zhang Wen helped him up, and said warmly: "Zhang Xin, the person Jinyiwei wants to arrest is me, not you, you don't have to make noise, wait for the news, I think Your Majesty has his own decision." ”

Zhang Shixing looked at it fixedly, and then remembered that the short and sturdy man and third-grade military attache in front of him turned out to be Zhang Xin, the commander of the Tongguan Guard he had seen when he had inspected Guanzhong with the crown prince Zhu Biao, and he didn't know when he was transferred back to Beijing.

Who knew that Zhang Xin turned around, knelt down at Zhang Shixing's feet with a plop, and cried: "Master Qianhu, let our Hou Ye a horse, if there is anything for me Zhang Xin to go to Jinyiwei for him to explain clearly." ”

Looking at this third-grade master, prostrate at his feet, crying bitterly, Zhang Shixing couldn't bear it, returned the knife to the sheath, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up and said, "Commander Zhang, do you still recognize me?" ”

Zhang Xin rubbed his eyes and arched his hand: "I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes, I have offended thousands of households, if there is something coming to me, please let the Hou Ye go." ”

Zhang Shixing sighed and said, "I am also acting under orders, and I can't call the shots." If you obstruct the case here, it will only make the matter bigger and bigger, and it will be unfavorable to Lord Hou. Please also ask Master Hou and me to go to Jinyiwei to make it clear, you are out of activities, and things are still taking a turn for the better. ”

Zhang Xin listened, his eyes lit up, and he was about to ask something more, Zhang Shixing pinched his arm, signaled him not to say more, and made a gesture of please, Zhang Wen had no choice but to arch his hand with everyone and said: "Brothers, don't say goodbye." If there is a day of reunion, you and my brother will come again and get drunk. ”

When the guests in the courtyard heard this, they all knelt on the ground and saw them off with tears in their eyes.

Zhang Shixing escorted Zhang Wen back to the Jinyi Guard Command Envoy, and after the delivery, it was getting late, so he went out of the office and walked back to the next place. Just turned the corner, but was grabbed by a person wrist, Zhang Shixing has been practicing the inner fist for a long time, naturally flipped his wrist, turned around, and grabbed the person with his backhand, the man screamed in pain, Zhang Shixing took a closer look, it turned out that this person was Zhang Xin, the commander of Tongguanwei.

He hurriedly let go and said angrily: "Commander Zhang, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhang Xin rubbed his wrist and said, "Brother Zhang, the matter is urgent, please think of a way to save Master Hou." ”

Zhang Shixing hurriedly pulled Zhang Xin to a secluded place and said, "Commander Zhang, this is a major case of rebellion, how can I manage it as a small thousand households?" ”

Zhang Xin hurriedly said: "Brother Zhang, I have inquired, you are a popular person around Taisun, there must be a way to think of it." Oh, by the way, you and I have a relationship with Tongguanwei. For the sake of the brothers of the family, you save the Hou Ye. ”

Zhang Shixing said with a smile: "Commander Zhang, you finally remembered me, aren't you in Tongguan, how did you get to this Beijing Division?" ”

Zhang Xindao: "I don't know, a few years ago, the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army transferred me to Beijing and became the commander of the right guard of the Imperial Army, I think it is good to be able to reunite with Hou Ye, who knows that there is such a thing, please think of a way to save Hou Ye." ”

Zhang Shixing sighed: "You are really a righteous man. The Blue Party case, everyone is afraid to avoid it, but you want to plunge into it, but why? ”

Zhang Xindao: "I once told the prince, you are also present, the prince has the grace to save my life, the righteousness of the robe, he is in trouble now, how can I stand by and watch." Brother Zhang, you should show the way quickly, and I will thank you for my letter. "With that, he hit the ground.

Zhang Shixing pondered for a while and said: "I have to ask the grandson to come forward in this matter." You wait for me outside Dong'an Gate early tomorrow morning, I will take you to see the grandson, you go and beg him, and the Hou Ye will definitely be saved. ”

Zhang Xin bowed his hand again and said: "Brother Zhang, thank you for your great kindness, I Zhang Xin wrote it down." ”

Early the next morning, Zhang Xin waited outside Dong'an Gate early, looking forward to it. Around the hour, Zhang Shixing came on horseback, the two gathered, Zhang Shixing took him to the palace city Donghua Gate, kicked off the saddle and dismounted into the palace, the captain of the gate recognized Zhang Shixing, so no one stopped.

Zhang Shixing took Zhang Xin to the outside of the Wenhua Palace, he told Zhang Xin to wait outside the palace, he went in to communicate, Zhu Yunwen was discussing an article with Fang Xiaoru, and when he came in, he scolded with a smile: "Little monkey cub, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are alive again, and your body is getting better?" ”

Zhang Shixing knelt down and saluted: "Thanks to the blessing of the grandson, all the small ones are all good." I have been busy running errands for the past few days, and I have not come to ask my grandson for peace, hoping that my grandson will forgive my sins. ”

Zhu Yunwen put down the book and asked, "What are you doing, isn't it a big case of the Blue Party?" ”

Zhang Shixing stood up and replied: "Hui Taisun, it is the case of the Blue Party, at present, Jinyiwei has arrested more than 20,000 people, and they can no longer be put in prison, they are all confined in the elephant room, interrogated day and night, and stayed all night, I am afraid that there are no less than 100,000 people in the Blue Party in the DPRK and China." ”

Zhu Yunjio said curiously: "There are so many, isn't the Chinese martial arts of the dynasty empty?" ”

Zhang Shixing said: "Then it is inconvenient to comment on this small one, and the small one can only arrest people with the driver's post, and the rest will not be asked." ”

Zhu Yunwen asked: "Then who have you arrested recently, tell me about it?" ”

Zhang Shixing replied honestly: "Yesterday, I arrested Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan, and Zhang Wen, the Marquis of Huining. It's a pity that Wang Bi was strong and killed himself on the spot. ”

Zhu Yunwen sighed, dropped the scroll, stood up suddenly, and asked, "Is that Wang Bi who is good at using double knives?" ”

Zhang Shixing said: "Exactly. ”

Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath and said: "This case is too widely implicated, and I am afraid it is not a blessing for the country." What about that Zhang Wen, did he commit suicide? ”

Zhang Shixing said: "That's not true. However, when the little one went to arrest him, his family was holding a birthday banquet, and relatives and friends gathered together, and most of them were martial artists, if it wasn't for the small one who took down his family members in advance, it almost caused a mutiny. ”

Zhu Yunwen was so angry that he stomped his feet and said: "What is the matter with this Jiang Huan, the imperial grandfather asked him to track down the Blue Party, not to let him hunt and kill indiscriminately, in case of a big change, but what is good?" ”

Fang Xiaoru interjected on the side: "After Jinyiwei arrested the criminal, he recorded a confession and handed it over to the Criminal Department, and after the Criminal Department reviewed it, the sentence was convicted, and then submitted to His Majesty for reading and disposal. Therefore, if the Criminal Department can enforce the law impartially, it can still do so. In addition, it is necessary to reassure the relatives and friends of the arrested person, and not to implicate too widely, and the case will gradually subside. ”

Zhang Shixing praised: "Bachelor Fang's words are really old and seeking the country. At this moment, outside the hall is waiting for Zhang Xin, the commander of the Right Mansion Army, this person is the former subordinate of Zhang Wen, the Marquis of Huining, and wants to ask to see the grandson, I wonder if the grandson is willing to see him? ”

Zhu Yunwen hesitated slightly, and said, "Call him in, and listen to what he has to say." ”

Zhang Shixing went out of the hall and introduced Zhang Xin into the hall. After Zhang Xin saw Zhu Yunwen, he knelt down and saluted, and Zhu Yunwen shouted: "Flat." ”

Zhang Xin knelt on the ground and refused to get up, kowtowed again, and said: "Taisun, I am willing to guarantee the life of the whole family, and Zhang Gong, the Marquis of Huining, did not rebel, please ask Taisun to investigate." ”

Zhu Yunwen sighed and said, "How can you see it? ”

Zhang Xindao: "In the third year of Hongwu, Zhang Gong led thousands of people to garrison the isolated city of Lanzhou, and at that time he was under the command of Zhang Gong. Wang Baobao, the general of the remnant Yuan, led an army of 100,000 to besiege Lanzhou City for several months and could not go down, which shows the loyalty of Zhang Gong, and His Majesty also called it a miracle. In the tenth year of Hongwu, Zhang Gong was the general of Yingguo Gong Fu Youde and Shu, ranking first. In the eleventh year of Hongwu, he was the deputy general and the Marquis of Yuan, Wang Bi, and others crusaded against Xiqiang, and won the title of Marquis Ning, Lu 2,000 stones. In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, he conquered Yunnan from Fu Youde, the prince of Yingguo, broke the king of Yuan Liang, pacified Yungui, and expanded the land for thousands of miles. In the autumn of the twentieth year of Hongwu, Lan Yu, the Duke of Liangguo, led his army to the north to ask for the Yuan Prime Minister Naha, and subdued his people, all of which had great achievements. It is to ask, how can such a person rebel? Therefore, he was willing to guarantee with the lives of his whole family that Zhang Gong did not plot rebellion. ”

Zhu Yunwen smiled awkwardly and said: "The big case of rebellion is not something that can be understood in a moment, I believe that there is a company that will handle it impartially." Go back and listen to the letter first. ”

Zhang Xinwu knelt on the ground and refused to get up, only tears in his eyes.

Fang Xiaoru said: "Commander Zhang, you should get up and go back to the council first, don't delay your official business because of this." The grandson will inquire about this matter. ”

Zhang Xin got up at this time, thanked him, and went out of the palace unhappy.

Zhu Yunwen raised his eyes to look at Fang Xiaoru and asked, "Sir, how should this matter be handled?" ”

Fang Xiaoru pondered for a moment and said: "The Blue Party case is widely implicated, especially the Hu case. Most of the Hu cases were civil officials, and most of the Lan cases were martial artists. Thinking that the prince's teacher Song Lian was involved in the Hu case, the prince pleaded with His Majesty for him, and the father and son almost turned against him, and the prince wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the water, so His Majesty forced His Majesty to let Song Lian go. Zhang Wen has no friendship with the grandson, and the grandson can't anger His Majesty, lest His Majesty suspect that the grandson befriended the generals, which is a big taboo. ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said, "What the teacher said is extremely true. ”

Zhang Shixing was a little anxious while listening, and asked, "Taisun, how do you reply to Zhang Xin?" ”

Fang Xiaoru said: "The blue case is a case, everyone is in danger, and they are afraid to avoid it, but this Zhang Xin can give up the life of the whole family for the old owner to vouch for it, and he is a righteous man." If the grandson does not help, it is inevitable that he will not be close to people. ”

Zhu Yunwen asked, "Then how should I do it, teacher?" ”

Fang Xiaoru said: "The grandson can't directly come forward to plead with His Majesty. As I said earlier, Jin Yiwei arrested the prisoner and recorded a confession, which needs to be reviewed by the Criminal Department and sentenced and convicted before it is submitted to the Imperial Court for decision. We can call Yang Jing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to come and ask him to do something about Zhang Wen's confession, and the felony is lightly sentenced, which can be regarded as saving people's lives. ”

Zhu Yunwen said happily: "Okay, just do it." Zhang Shixing, you go and invite Yang Jing to Wenhua Palace, saying that there is something important to discuss, and you can't let others know. ”

Zhang Shixing agreed, and walked out of Wenhua Gate quickly, and Pegasus went straight to the Yamen of the Criminal Department outside the Taiping Gate.

When he arrived at the lobby of the Criminal Department, Zhang Shixing showed his waist card to Yang Jingyi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, bowed down and said: "Yang Shangshu, there is something important to tell you below, and please ask Shang Shu to retreat." ”

Yang Jing glanced at the scribes left and right, and the scribes retreated with interest.

Zhang Shi walked forward and whispered to Yang Jing: "The grandson has important matters to discuss, and he also invited Yang Gong to go to the Wenhua Hall to talk about it." ”

Yang Jing put down the case in his hand and asked: "I don't know what is important to the grandson, the Criminal Department has been busy with the Blue Party case these days, and I am afraid that I will not be free for a while." ”

Zhang Shixing said: "I don't know about my humble position, the grandson just said that 100,000 is urgent, and you must ask Yang Shangshu to come to the palace to talk about it." ”

Yang Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, you lead the way." ”
