Chapter 164: The Seeds of Doubt
Cao Jixiang was timid and cowardly, Jia Xiaosi originally thought that there was no need to make a confession, but he didn't expect that when he arrived at Dongchang, Cao Jixiang was more fierce than him. The fans have been under Cao Jixiang's orders, quite afraid of him, although they will not show mercy to their subordinates, but they are unwilling to do their best during interrogation, Jia Xiaosi has just taken over, and he has not yet established his authority, he is young and his wrist is not enough, so he has no way to take him for a while.
Shen Jingyi came to mention people, Jia Xiaosi's heart sank, did the emperor think that he was incapacitated, so he personally interrogated? He was not at ease, and escorted Cao Jixiang over with Shen Jingyi.
Along the way, Cao Jixiang scolded endlessly, and scolded Jia Xiaosi for forgetting his roots: "...... You are taken care of by our family in the palace, and now your wings are hard, dare to rob our family? Phew! ”
While scolding, he kept squirting saliva at Jia Xiaosi. He was tied up with a lot of flowers, and his arms were tightly held by the two fans, where could he spray Jia Xiaosi.
Jia Xiaosi's face was gloomy, and his eyes stared at him fiercely.
Shen Jingyi looked at this and that with a pale face, he wished he could go back to the palace quickly.
When the group came to the Zhaoren Palace, the scene in front of them made them feel at a loss, wasn't Master Zhang assassinated and injured, and there was still a white cloth on his body, and there was still a pool of blood on the white cloth? Why is the white cloth on his body gone, and he is chatting with the emperor with full of anger at this time, which looks like he is injured?
After crossing the bright road with the emperor, of course Zhang Ning didn't have to pretend in front of the emperor, the two chatted about food while drinking tea, and they didn't know how happy they were. It wasn't until Shen Jingyi came back to report that Jia Xiaosi escorted Cao Jixiang in, and Zhu Qizhen smiled.
"Your Majesty. The slave was really wronged, Jia Yue and Wan Liang were assassinated, and the slave didn't know at all. "If Cao Jixiang has no brains, how can he become a young eunuch? How could he let go of the opportunity to plead his way to the emperor? If you don't push everything to the two of you and pretend to be a bitter master, then it won't be him.
Zhu Qizhen said: "Little Four, give him the assassin's confession." ”
Jia Xiaosi immediately took out his confession and threw it in front of Cao Jixiang.
Cao Jixiang picked up a glance and read ten lines, the more he looked at his fat face, the whiter he became, and these two spineless people said everything. He didn't even have a chance to quibble.
In fact, I really don't blame the two of them, there are really not many people who can be tough in front of Jinyiwei.
Zhu Qizhen said: "Why did you send someone to assassinate Zhang Qing?" He couldn't figure it out, where did Zhang Ning provoke him, as for sending someone to assassinate him? There has never been an assassination of a minister since Taizu, which is really unreasonable.
If you don't recruit, you can't do it, but if you do, you'll die. Cao Jixiang was shocked and remorseful, kowtowed again and again, and said: "The slave was confused for a while, and I beg Your Majesty to spare the slave's dog life for the sake of the slave's dedication to serving." ”
Before Jia Xiaosi went to the emperor's side to wait, this messenger was Cao Jixiang, he saw that the Empress Dowager and Sanyang were old, and they didn't have a few years to live, Wang Zhen was only in his early fifties, and his body was tough.
miscalculated, if he hadn't gone to Dongchang, how could there be anything about Jia Xiaosi, a rabbit cub? Cao Jixiang deeply regretted it.
When the three of them came in, Zhang Ning held a piece of dim sum in his hand, and when the emperor asked, he finished the dim sum, took a sip of tea, and then looked at Cao Jixiang, his eyes seemed to be smiling. Zhu Qizhen understood, but he knew that it was very likely that Cao Jixiang knew that he made a statement to the emperor, and Jia Xiaosi was able to become the factory father.
Jia Xiaosi has been staying in the palace, and he has no chance to make a move. This is a pinch that picks up the softness. Zhang Ning complained silently.
"Minions...... The minion was confused for a moment. Cao Jixiang glanced at Jia Xiaosi, his hatred was hard to extinguish, if it weren't for this kid, would he have fallen into such a situation?
Zhu Qizhen was even more angry and said, "Slap your mouth." ”
"Yes." Shen Jingyi responded to the voice and slapped Cao Jixiang four times in a row.
Jia Xiaosi, who was already accustomed to listening to Zhu Qizhen's orders, took a step slower, he twisted his neck quite unaccustomedly, and didn't know what to do for a while.
Is this tickling Cao Jixiang? Zhang Ning had a very hands-on impulse, and finally held back and didn't move.
Cao Jixiang was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, the emperor in his impression had a gentle personality, and he never beat and scolded the waiters waiting around him, this time he made an exception, and he was probably angry.
Shen Jingyi stopped looking at the emperor, and saw that he didn't stop drinking, so he had to continue fighting. There was only a "pop" sound in the hall, until Cao Jixiang's cheeks were high and swollen.
Zhu Qizhen raised his hand, Shen Jingyi quickly stopped and retreated, only to feel that his hands were painful and swollen, and he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Ning in awe, thinking, Lord Zhang is so powerful, for his business, the emperor is angry like this.
"To say or not to say?" Zhu Qizhen's face sank, and he had the majesty of an emperor.
Cao Jixiang cried bitterly: "Your Majesty spared your life, and the servants heard that Master Zhang spoke for Jia Xiaosi, and Jia Xiaosi was able to take charge of the East Factory." The slave was angry, so he sent Jia Yue and Wan Liang to assassinate. The minion was confused, thinking that as long as he assassinated Master Zhang, Jia Xiaosi would not be the opponent of the slave if he had no helper. ”
Are you a fool? Zhang Ning almost greeted Cao Jixiang's eighteenth generation ancestor, what did the emperor most unwilling to see? The people around you form alliances. Cao Jixiang's knife stabbed hard enough, no matter how Zhang Ning explained, it would leave a shadow in the emperor's heart. Zhang Ning didn't hate him so much when he learned that he sent someone to assassinate him. This castration is really not enough to kill a thousand knives.
In the flash of his mind, Zhang Ning took advantage of the cover of the table to put the jade on. I hope to use good luck to eliminate the impact of these words somewhat. Just now he and Zhu Qizhen were talking and laughing, and a few quarters of an hour flashed by, if he wore a jade pendant, good luck and bad luck would be tossed back and forth, and it would be strange if Zhu Qizhen was suspicious.
So he didn't put it on.
He didn't expect Cao Jixiang to be as stupid as a pig and would say such a thing, even if it was true, he couldn't say it in front of the emperor.
At this moment, Zhang Ning moved to kill, but his face did not show it, but he got up and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Gonggong Jia can learn, it is out of his heart. Chen Su and Jia's father-in-law have no personal relationship, let alone become his helper. ”
Zhu Qizhen first glanced at Zhang Ning and Jia Xiaosi with bright eyes, and saw Zhang Ning get up calmly to argue, first felt that Zhang Ning entered the palace almost every day, and it was inevitable that he would get acquainted with Jia Xiaosi after a long time, and the two might have colluded in private. Thinking about it again, it is impossible, Jia Xiaosi never leaves his side, and occasionally leaves for a while, and he also takes his order to go out on errands.
With such a little time, can you collude with Zhang Ning?
But Zhang Ning spoke for Jia Xiaosi, which is another fact.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhang Ning said: "Your Majesty and the minister are talking in the palace, and Cao Jixiang is not in front of you, why do you know what His Majesty said and said?" It can be seen that Cao Jixiang has installed eyes and ears beside His Majesty. His heart can be punished. ”
"That's right. Your Majesty, Lord Zhang is right, the slave didn't know that Lord Zhang was a slave until this time, how could Cao Jixiang know so quickly? Jia Xiaosi said, solemnly saluting Zhang Ning: "Thank you, Lord Zhang." ”
High, really high. Zhang Ning secretly praised and replied: "This official is fair and straightforward, and Father-in-law Jia doesn't need to thank you." ”
