Today, Zhang Shou and others were summoned to the court, and there were not a few officials who felt strange, and when they heard that many families had been broken into by thieves last night, including Zhang Yuan and Yue Shanchang, they suddenly realized.

However, after listening to the impeachment of Zhu Tingfang by the imperial history of the city patrol, the emperor set a reward and punishment for meritorious deeds, and immediately asked Zhang Shou and others, instead of the nobles who also encountered thieves in the palaces of Zhao Guogong and Qin Guogong, and the courtiers couldn't help but smell a different taste. For a while, I don't know how many eyes converged on Zhang Shou and the other four.

As a result, a few of the scholars of the Hanlin Academy, who were originally glad that their families were spared a catastrophe, were a little sour at this time. is also the East Palace, but those thieves didn't go to their house, this is looking down on them and thinking they are insignificant?

Yue Shanchang glanced at Zhang Shou first, and when he saw that people nodded at him with a smile, as if he was signaling himself to speak first, and when he squinted at Xu Shanchang and Xiao Shanchang, he found that the eyes of the two were not so much silent, but rather dazed, as if he was saying to himself, we slept until dawn and didn't know anything, and he suddenly became helpless.

After being awakened last night, he first sent the students out to inquire, and then went out to check in person, but he didn't see anyone else come out to inquire about the movement. After he came out of the line to salute, he explained what he had seen and heard in a concise and concise manner.

"Back to the emperor, after the minister was awakened last night, he heard the students come in and tell him that it seemed that Yashe had entered the thief, and remembered that the minister and the students had practiced martial arts, and if there was any, they might be able to help, so they went out."

"When the minister arrived, there were only blood stains on the ground, but the thieves didn't see it, and only listened to a rapping handyman from Yashe that someone suddenly came in over the wall, and lit a rocket as if he was ready to set it on fire, but fortunately, the soldiers and horses of the Rui cavalry battalion sent by the emperor reacted very quickly, not only killed a thief on the spot, but also captured the others in one fell swoop."

"Naturally, he was relieved, after all, he and the students didn't want us to use force, because that would mean the worst. Later, the people of the Beicheng Terracotta Division also arrived. The minister saw Lord Zhu at that time, and it was only from Lord Zhu's mouth that the thieves not only came to Yashe, but also captured many other places. ”

Speaking of this, Yue Shanchang hesitated for a moment, and did not add "Such a rebellious offender is really outrageous, please deal with it according to the law to set an example."

When such a vicious incident occurs in the capital, it is conceivable that the emperor will be severely punished, so there is no need for him to add such a statement.

Chief Yue's words sounded exhaustive, but in fact he didn't say anything - after all, he hadn't seen the thieves come to commit the crime at all, and the scene of the two fighting each other, according to the precedent in the field of grading, it was a typical incorrect text. However, when Xu Shanchang and Xiao Shanchang apologized that they slept so hard at night that they didn't know anything, no one blamed Yue Shanchang.

After all, after all, he had gone out to see what was going on, and he carefully asked some things about the head of Zhaoming Academy, wasn't it much better than the other two who were dazed and ignorant? Such a big movement but still lying soundly, what a heart this must be!

These three are equivalent to not knowing anything, in this regard, the emperor smiled noncommittally, and then looked at Zhang Shou and said, "Jiuzhang, what about you?" Last night, it was said that there were also thieves on your Zhang Yuan's side, and you also slept dead and didn't know anything? ”

"The minister has been busy and tired for days, and he did sleep until dawn, but the specific situation is really not clear."

Zhang Shou said this sentence calmly, and he glimpsed that many of those courtiers showed expressions that were really like this. As for Zhendang, if this is the case, he still thinks that he is pushing, of course he doesn't care, and he doesn't hurry and says: "But last night, Ah Liu's family was armed by Ah Liu, so after being called early in the morning, he learned that there was such a thing, and the minister naturally came to him to ask for an understanding." ”

He relayed the words that An Lu said on behalf of Ah Liu in the morning, including the front wall into the person who shook a shot, and the exit blocked by the secret passage behind was suddenly dug up, and the thief sneaked in.

But even so, Zhang Yuan suffered from the enemy in the abdomen, but as a result, he was killed and injured on one side, and the result of capturing two people alive on the other side really made many courtiers gasp.

Especially because the Confucian scholar got up early and failed to attend the temporary sick leave, he took advantage of the chaos to sneak out of the Kong family to participate in the court, and wanted to watch the style, I heard that Zhang Shou, who was scolded by his brother as a nouveau riche before, there are a group of such murderous people in the house, even if he knew that Zhang Shou's self-proclaimed housekeeper Ah Liu was very powerful, he couldn't help but be secretly awe-inspiring.

It's not surprising that one person is powerful, but Zhang Yuan is so big, it is definitely not a person who can take care of it thoroughly! Therefore, the reason why he misreported the news of Zhu Tingfang's assassination and serious injuries before was that it was not unintentionally leaked by Ah Liu, but deliberately leaked by someone!

And the emperor was not surprised by the overall result that four of the thieves who infiltrated Zhang Yuan were killed, and the other four were captured alive - if Ah Liu didn't have this ability, he wouldn't be like Hua Qi's real mantle heir.

It's just that he is bound to be unable to summon Ah Liu again on such an occasion to ask for clarification - of course, he will definitely do this after the early dynasty - so at this time, he smiled and praised it, and it was indeed worthy of his reputation. But just as he was about to continue to ask Zhao Guogong, Zhu Jing and others, Zhang Shou opened his mouth again.

"There is another thing, the minister has to report to the emperor to know. Last night, Ah Liu first went to the headquarters of the Rui Cavalry Battalion, but when he came back, he was intercepted and killed by someone......"

In front of the ministers, Zhang Shou lightly told the cause and effect of Jiang Zhuoer's confession after being taken down by Ah Liu, and even pouring beans into a bamboo tube, but just said that this person was frankly doing dirty work, so it stopped abruptly. Even so, more than half of the hundreds of civil and military officials who could come to participate in the Chang Dynasty suddenly changed color.

Even if he hasn't done it, he has to desperately recall and examine whether there are unscrupulous children and grandchildren in his family, relatives of seven aunts and eight aunts, and those subordinates who actually do things, will contact that dirty and dark circle in their own name. As for the person who did ask someone to contact these characters, he was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out.

Among them...... Naturally, it includes Master Kong Jiu who confessed to Jiang Zhuoer.

Just now with the most able to read in the clan, the official was also the eldest brother to put a match, and was scolded by someone by the collar, and then saw that the Confucian scholar was stunned by Zhu Tingfang's words, and he himself personally experienced the undisguised hostility when facing himself after Zhu Tingfang blatantly broke into the Confucian Mansion, to say that he was worried, of course, he was worried, but it was not to the point where it was imminent.

Zhu Tingfang's revenge at most made him lose his official position - and he may not even be able to do it, after all, although he was born in the same Jinshi, he has been out of office for several years, and there is no fellow villager in the same year, and there is no same year and a teacher, plus he is good at dancing in these years, and he has also met some people, since he knows that he has provoked Zhu Tingfang, he will not be restrained.

Moreover, the eldest brother hated and angered him no matter how much he could, but he had to protect him.

However, what Zhang Shou revealed, it was likely to kill him! You must know that of course, the clan fully supports his eldest brother, and the resources and supplies that fall on him are quite small, and in order to make a wide range of contacts, he spends quite a lot, so many times he has to use some means under the table, and he has done a lot of tricks.

If things in a certain circle are really exposed...... He's really done!

Seeing that the various eyes around him seemed to him, and a large number of people might be in danger of themselves, Zhang Shou said with a smile: "Ah Liu said that there are many such villains in the market who swagger and deceive on the grounds that they know the official eunuchs' private affairs, so Jiang Zhuo'er's words are not enough to be trusted. Therefore, if the emperor hadn't just asked, the minister would have almost forgotten such a person. ”

"Two more days, maybe people will be locked up directly......"

The emperor was said to be happy by Zhang Shou. However, Zhang Shou made it clear in front of him, and he didn't even hide that this guy was in the black market circle, of course he was very satisfied. As the only abnormal son of heaven since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he used to wander around in white dragon fish clothes when he was young, and when he grew up, he personally went deep into some places to find out, so he is no stranger to some kind of deed.

At this moment, he touched his chin and smiled, and his eyes fell on Zhu Tingfang: "Last night's incident, since it was all led by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, then what Zhang Qing said and who he said, leave it to Zhu Qing." The four ...... in his house No, plus this Jiang Zhuo'er, it should be five living mouths, you send someone to take over. ”

Because of this big news that Zhang Shou poked, the emperor suddenly lost much interest in the thieves on the side of the other noble ministers - who has a monster like Ah Liu in his family, after capturing the first assassin alive, the follow-up people are too scared to make a move, and they are not afraid of taking money and not making a move but ruining their reputation? Working together to capture the thief is not as interesting as fighting alone......

So, he said with a solemn face: "Last night's incident, there were palace people in the palace who intended to set fire, and there were thieves outside the palace who invaded the mansion of the noble minister, which is really a great rebellion that has not been heard of in recent years. The few captured palace people have already confessed, but they have listened to the news spread in the palace, saying that the palace people are about to abolish the virtue policy released from the palace when they are old, so they are hateful, so they made this decision. ”

Seeing that many officials showed angry expressions, the emperor stood up directly by pressing the armrest before anyone could speak.

"And what is the situation of those thieves outside the palace, I think Zhu Qing didn't have time to interrogate last night. Well, many people are more concerned about the families who are patronized by the Five Cities Terracotta Division, Zhu Qing, let's talk about it, what is going on. ”

Since the emperor was named, Zhu Tingfang stood up. He is not like Zhang Shou to say an extremely serious thing in such a spring breeze tone, his tone is cold, and there is a profound murderous intent between the lines, so even if the people who listen to it have nothing to do with him, they can't help but be shocked, especially when they hear that a certain waiter actually committed suicide with medicine, then many people are even more concerned.

And smart people soon realized that one thing after another, only by pointing to the eldest prince who had completely lost hope and the dead queen who had died, that was the least likely to involve others. Especially Wu Gelao, who had a false alarm last night and didn't sleep well all night, also lost his habit of being kind to others at this time.

Being kind to others, that is, making friends with people that the Son of Heaven likes, and showing kindness to others if they have nothing to do, it is by no means that people who dislike or even hate the Son of Heaven are more hypocritical and wronged. Otherwise, he will be in vain as the Son of Heaven.

So, as Wu Ge Lao was the first to stand up, he said bitterly that the eldest prince should be recalled to Beijing for careful investigation, and the people who echoed it were endless. Zhang Yu, a bachelor who also suffered a thief who invaded the mansion last night and injured several family members, was initially hesitant to fall into the well, but seeing the turmoil, he finally joined the ranks of seconding the proposal.

In the face of this scene, remembering the time when the queen mother was in the world, the eldest prince and the second prince swaggered through the market, and flew high, Zhang Shou couldn't help but feel a sense of vicissitudes.

But this vicissitudes didn't even take too long, let alone twenty years, not a year! It is no wonder that these ministers of the DPRK and China are walking on thin ice as if they are on the edge of the abyss, and this kind of feeling that no one will rescue you as soon as the boat capsizes, and that countless oars hit you who are trying to climb onto the boat again, is really terrible!

And although the emperor has never liked the wall to fall down and everyone pushes it, just like when he heard the news of the shipwreck of the second prince and the death of Concubine Jing, he was shocked and even angry, but this series of events last night really deeply angered him.

It's not that he didn't leave a chance for his eldest son, and even after people took the initiative to take on the burden, he let people go to Cangzhou, thinking that if people can see the people's livelihood and make progress, then the long-pending East Palace may be able to have a master. But what does man repay him? A civil uprising that can be called ridiculous?

And now, look at this mess! The accident of the shipwreck of the second prince may really be done by Concubine Jing before her death, just to sacrifice one son to save the other, anyway, the one who was sacrificed has already broken her heart. And Concubine Jing begged for death, probably to win people's sympathy, after all, as long as she died after the abolition, the people would have sad and regretful voices.

Otherwise, when will it be bad for her to swallow gold, and she will have to swallow gold at that time? As for spreading rumors and instigating palace people to set fire to the palace...... He felt that this was completely superfluous. Sure enough, this proved to be the case.

He just had something to hide in front of the court officials, because last night he called Chu Kuan over in person, and when he asked for confessions one by one in front of him, because Chu Kuan directly threatened Ling Chi, clan extermination, and even sitting down, most people couldn't bear the huge pressure, and some of them wept bitterly and confessed that it was the eldest prince who bribed heavily. On the grounds of the warning of the heavenly fire, the emperor was forced to depose the crown prince and take him back.

Although this is just one or two people who said this, in the residence of the two palace people, in the luggage and clothes they said, a few pieces of gold jewelry were also found, and then after checking the style, it was verified that it was indeed the original Inner Mansion Record, and Concubine Jing was rewarded to the eldest prince when she was still the queen, and the emperor had no way not to believe it.

Seeing that the crowd was angry, the emperor did not make a decision immediately, but let the attendants on the side shout: "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”
