Looking at Yang Feng who was laughing at the sky, Pan Ruzhen was a little stunned in his heart, if he didn't know about the assassination of Yang Feng in advance, it would be an insult to him, the governor of Zhejiang.

After all, Peng Shouli and others also knew that if they wanted to assassinate a dignified grandfather like Yang Feng, how could they bypass Pan Ruzhen, the boss of Zhejiang Province, so in advance, Peng Shouli and others also notified Pan Ruzhen openly and secretly through various channels, and Pan Ruzhen's reaction was also as they expected, neither supporting nor opposing, pretending to be confused.

Although they failed to get the support of Pan Ruzhen's clear statement, Peng Shouli and the others were also very satisfied, after all, Pan Ruzhen, as the governor of a province, also wanted to be face-saving, so it was naturally impossible to say in public that I support you to kill Yang Feng.

As for the consequences of failure......

Hehe, what consequence can be more important than five million taels of silver?

In their opinion, what is it to kill a Shinkoku? Don't talk about a Xinguo Gong, even if it is an emperor, as long as it violates their interests, then it will be changed, otherwise how did Emperor Zhengde and Emperor Tianqi die in another historical time and space?

The two emperors both fell into the water and died, such a ridiculous thing even a three-year-old child didn't believe it, but it was written in the history books so grandly, not only that, but the dead Liang Zhengde and Tianqi were also constantly splashed with dirty water by those civil officials.

One is to make a leopard room and play the story of Beauty and the Beast all day long. Not only that, but he also sold fish to train leopards, teased hundreds of officials, and was a mediocre and incompetent emperor, and finally fell into the water and died.

One is uneducated, can't even read the folds, and can only do carpentry work all day long. favored eunuchs, entrusted the affairs of the court to eunuchs like Wei Zhongxian, wantonly slaughtered loyal ministers (Donglin Party members), and finally also fell into the water and died.

In addition to these two people, the emperor's death of the Ming Dynasty has also been played with new tricks, there are those who died by taking medicine, those who were stabbed while sleeping, and the crown prince was beaten, it can be said that throughout the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, being an emperor is a very dangerous thing, except for the few emperors who killed decisively in the founding of the country, few other emperors died well.

The reason is that the power of the civil official group in the Ming Dynasty is too great, and they who have gathered with the gentry and merchants are too bold.

Of course, this is also the Ming Dynasty, and later after the Manchu Tartars entered the customs, those barbarians who were born in wild boars will not be accustomed to these people, and they will kill people with a big stick, and those civil officials and businessmen will be honest immediately, and the Manchu Dynasty will be honest for hundreds of years, and those civil officials will be as honest as rabbits, not to mention any small actions, they don't even dare to put a fart on weekdays, and even the posture of kneeling and licking is so fresh and refined.

Yang Feng, who finally completely threw away all his illusions, also let go of the last trace of luck in his heart, he glanced at Pan Ruzhen deeply, "Pan Ruzhen, the assassin who killed Bengong this time even used a bed crossbow, Bengong now has reason to suspect that this matter has nothing to do with you, the governor, in order to avoid suspicion, so it is better for you to avoid it." ”

"What? Also used a bed crossbow? ”

Pan Ruzhen only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he almost fainted.

If he can still prevaricate the assassination of Yang Feng without knowing about it, then he can no longer say that he doesn't know about it.

What is a bed crossbow? It is a sharp weapon to defend the city, in the words of later generations, this is a strategic weapon, this kind of thing moves and does not change and the operation is cumbersome, and ordinary people don't know how to use it even if you give it to him.

But now, even this kind of thing that should be strictly kept has appeared on the street in a grand manner, and has been used to assassinate the prince of the dynasty, Pan Ruzhen, as a brother in Zhejiang Province, if he still wants to say a word lightly, I don't know, I can't say it anyway.

"These bastards, this time they have made the old man miserable."

Rao is Pan Ruzhen's city mansion was deep, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Pan Ruzhen, I advise you to wipe your ass clean before meddling, and at the same time, I can also tell you that before you came, I had already sent someone to arrest Ma Sidi and the officer in charge of guarding the bed crossbow. Finally, I want to say that if I find out that this matter has something to do with you, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will never let you go. ”

After that, Yang Feng glanced at the Fubiao camps behind him, snorted lightly, and walked into the camp under the support of a group of family members......

Yang Feng was very angry, and the consequences were serious

In anger, Yang Feng sent Li Yan to lead a large army to arrest Peng Shouli and all the merchants in the painting boat that day, torture him and force him to interrogate his comrades, and at the same time sent people to raid their homes.

While doing these things, Yang Feng also wrote down the story of the incident and sent people to the capital in an urgent way of six hundred miles.

Li Yan, who was entrusted with an important task by Yang Feng, understood that this incident was an opportunity and an opportunity for him, and it was up to him whether he could satisfy his boss.

After three days of continuous rotation, Li Yan finally got things to the bottom of the matter.

"Grandpa Guo, this is the confession of Peng Shouli and others, please take a look."

In the handsome tent, Yang Feng looked at Li Yan, whose eyes were bloodshot, and did not confess, but said directly: "I don't need to look at it, you can tell me roughly." ”

"Yes!"

Li Yan cleared his throat, sorted out his thoughts for a while, and said, "This matter was made up by Peng Shouli and the gentry in Hangzhou City, and the reason is that you want them to pay five million taels of silver and fifty thousand stones of grain and grass.

Peng Shouli and the others were unwilling to pay so much silver taels in vain, and they were worried that after you exterminated Li Zicheng, they would take the opportunity to lift the sea ban in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so they decided to take the risk to assassinate you. As for those assassins, they were also the dead soldiers raised by the gentry and others, and those bed crossbows were also bought off by the officers who defended the city, and they got them from the armory, and those who operated the bed crossbows were also officers and soldiers who defended the city. ”

"What about Pan Ruzhen, is he involved in this matter?"

"At present, there is no direct evidence that Master Pan was also involved in this matter, but according to Peng Shouli's confession, they asked Pan Ruzhen about this matter beforehand, but Pan Ruzhen did not express his position on this matter."

"In other words, Pan Ruzhen has a tacit attitude towards their assassination of his father?"

"This ...... Yes, so to speak. ”

"Hey...... What a default. ”

Yang Feng had a sneer on his face, but his heart became angry, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

"Li Yan!"

"The lower official is here!"

"You immediately lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to the governor's yamen to arrest Pan Ruzhen for me, if there is any resistance, there will be no forgiveness!"

"Ah......h
