His Majesty cares too much about Zhang Ning. Many people were silent to themselves.

Even though he knew that Zhu Qizhen regarded him as a brother, Zhang Ning's heart still warmed, and said: "The minister asked the imperial doctor to see it before he came, although the wound was deep, it was not hurt to see harm, please rest assured Your Majesty." ”

He had been injured, but in order to increase the seriousness of the matter, let people bandage it with a white cloth and smear some chicken blood on it, anyway, no one dared to find out where the blood on his body came from, whether it was his or not.

Zhu Qizhen said as he stepped down from the throne: "Have you stopped the bleeding?" ”

"The medicine is still working, it should be stopped."

In front of everyone's eyes, Zhu Qizhen walked to Zhang Ning's side, asked Jia Xiaosi to bring the candlestick, and looked at the blood stains on his white cloth by candlelight, and saw that the blood stains had solidified, so he walked back with confidence.

Zhang Ning thought that he was going to inspect the wound in public, and his mind was spinning rapidly, and he had to find some excuse to prevaricate in the past, but he didn't expect Zhu Qizhen to suspect him of faking at all, and when he saw that there was no blood oozing out of the white cloth, he returned to the throne. While he was moved in his heart, he also felt a trace of guilt, he was indeed guilty of deceiving a person who trusted and cared about him so much.

Jia Xiaosi put the candlestick and whispered, "Your Majesty, do you still want to pass on the imperial doctor?" ”

"Since Zhang Qing has let the imperial doctor see it, there is no need to pass it on." Zhu Qizhen said: "Can the assassin be caught?" "This assassin really deserves to die, he actually stabbed Zhang Qing, and after catching him, I have to break him to death.

Zhang Ning said: "Thanks to Your Majesty Hongfu, the assassin has been caught, there are two people in total, and they are now locked up in the Jinyiwei compound." Their confessions are here, please see them for Your Majesty. ”

Zhang Ning said, and took out two pieces of paper folded into squares from his sleeve, which were the confessions of Jia Yue and Wan Liang, and there were two people drawing fingerprints on them.

Jia Xiaosi trotted over to take the confession, and then took the steps on the small road, went to the throne, and presented it to Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen opened it and looked at it quickly, the more he looked at it, the more angry his face became, and finally said coldly: "Come on, go and get Cao Jixiang immediately." ”

The ministers looked at each other, could it be that the assassin was instructed by Cao Jixiang? Why did he assassinate Zhang Ning? The object of his revenge should be Jia Xiaosi. And to kill Jia Xiaosi, the best way is to poison the palace, why send someone to assassinate Zhang Ning in the palace?

Yesterday, Jia Xiaosi was the director of the Dongchang factory, most of the courtiers knew, many people wondered why Zhu Qizhen chose such a small eunuch, and some people were vigilant, Jia Xiaosi was only fourteen or fifteen years old, so he was the factory father, if he was allowed to grow up, wouldn't it be dangerous? Will they have a good life then? Some people even think that the emperor is young and likes to use teenagers, Zhang Ning is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and Jia Xiaosi is only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he has to be reused.

Jia Xiaosi was taken aback, glanced at Zhu Qizhen quickly, and quickly lowered his eyelids, as if nothing had happened.

The Han general in front of the palace responded and went out of the palace to arrest Cao Jixiang.

Zhu Qizhen was no longer in the mood to pay attention to other government affairs, and was worried that Zhang Ning would be injured and would not be able to stand for a long time, so he asked someone to bring a chair over and let him sit down.

Zhang Ning unceremoniously thanked him and sat down,

…………

Cao Jixiang was as anxious as a lost dog, he only hated that the palace door was closed, and he couldn't enter the palace overnight to cry to the emperor, as for the rhetoric, he naturally had already thought about it.

He fidgeted in the private house outside the palace until the fourth watch, rushed to the palace gate by car, and saw the officials coming in a sedan chair from a distance, ready to go to the court, but did not dare to go over, and quietly took a sedan chair back to the private house.

Officials, especially civil officials, have always been unfriendly to these eunuchs, and he feels the same whether they show a different color or not. Now that Zhang Ning is Yang Shiqi's grandson-in-law, if the civil officials knew that he had sent someone to assassinate Zhang Ning, would they let him go?

As for the generals, most of them are nobles. Zhang Ning himself is a noble son, and the British Duke Zhang Fu has praised him many times, knowing this, he will definitely not let him go.

Before he arrived at the private house, he was stopped by the big man and taken back to the palace.

"Your Majesty, the slave has been wronged." As soon as he entered the hall, he knelt down and wept bitterly, and said: "The slave heard that Jia Xiaosi sent someone to assassinate Master Zhang Ning Zhang, and wanted to enter the palace to report and arrest Jia Xiaosi, but the palace door was closed and he couldn't enter the palace, so he had to watch Lord Zhang be assassinated. Fortunately, Master Zhang is fine, otherwise the slave would not have known and not reported, wouldn't he be severely responsible? ”

Before you say anything, you shouted injustice, which shows that you are not wronged at all. The ministers said silently.

Yang Shiqi and Zhang Fu saw Cao Jixiang kneeling on the ground trembling all over, one eye was red, and one eye clenched his fists, if it wasn't for the emperor here, they would have rushed up and punched and kicked, how could they let him go?

Don't look at the age of the two, the body bones are very good, Zhang Fu has been practicing bows and arrows without stopping, and he can pull a hundred stone bows with both hands, don't look at Cao Jixiang is twenty or thirty years younger than him, and he can't stand his punches.

Jia Xiaosi was falsely accused, not only was he not in a hurry, but he smiled, I'm afraid Cao Jixiang didn't know that the assassin had confessed, right? If he is like this, he will be even more disgusted by the emperor and die faster.

Zhu Qizhen's face was gloomy, and he said, "Cao Jixiang, are you guilty?" ”

"The minions are wronged." Cao Jixiang snorted and tears, and said: "It was Jia Xiaosi who was the factory man, and he sent someone to assassinate Zhang Ning in order to establish his authority." His Majesty should treat Jia Xiaosi's sins and avenge Zhang Ning. ”

"What kind of revenge are you taking for this official?" Zhang Ning spoke up, Cao Jixiang's appearance was really disgusting to him. You either run away or confess your guilt, framing Jia Xiaosi like this will only make people look down on you even more, okay?

Zhang Ning didn't think that Cao Jixiang didn't know that Jia Yue and Wan Liang had lost, and the news of their failures was released by him. originally wanted Cao Jixiang to jump over the wall in a hurry, but he arranged manpower for this, preparing to make Cao Jixiang's death unclear in the chaos, but he didn't expect this gelding to dare to come out to check.

Zhang Ning withdrew his manpower before he came to the court. Otherwise, Cao Jixiang will be blocked in the middle of the road, and the Han general will go to get people, and he can only carry back his body.

Cao Jixiang looked up and saw Zhang Ning's face sitting on the chair with a smile that seemed to be not smiling, and he was so flustered that he didn't notice the white cloth on his chest for a while. He said with difficulty: "It's best if Master Zhang is fine." "Damn, why didn't I stab you to death?

"Who said I'm fine?" Zhang Ning pointed to the blood stain on the white cloth on his left chest and said, "If it's okay, why is there so much blood?" ”

Cao Jixiang was ecstatic: "Are you injured?" It seems that Jia Yue and Wan Liang are not too cowardly, and they let Zhang Ning hang up some color.

Seeing his ecstatic appearance, Zhu Qizhen said angrily: "Little Si, you tell him who instigated the assassin's confession. ”

"Yes." Jia Xiaosi came out in response, came to the front of three steps away from Cao Jixiang, and said loudly: "Father-in-law Cao, listen, the assassin confessed, and the person who instructed him is called Cao Jixiang." ”

Jia Xiaosi hadn't read the confession, but he could guess what the emperor meant. If it weren't for this fat pig's instructions, would the emperor have asked the Han general to get him? It's ridiculous that this fat pig still loves to stamp the quibble. Let's see what jokes this fat pig is making.

Jia Xiaosi was worried that Cao Jixiang would be a hindrance and it would be difficult for him to take over the East Factory smoothly, so he only went to the East Factory in the afternoon, and he didn't think that Cao Jixiang would die by himself, so he endured it and didn't laugh out loud.
