Zhang Fan is very troubled and uncertain about the news he has so far.

Obviously, the news that Liang Chao and others found out is there, and the direction is very clear, and although Liang Chao and others did not bring people back to the yamen for careful interrogation before, and they did not bring any torture tools on their bodies, Zhang Fan knew that even if they were empty-handed, they could make people speak, so the news they got should not be fake.

However, this is only to determine the truth of the message by analyzing the source of the message, and if you analyze the actual information obtained, the result obtained is not the same.

It is true that Zhang Siwei is a gap with Feng Bao, and it is a considerable gap, and it can even be said that Feng Bao has unilaterally not tolerated Zhang Siwei, and must get rid of this big obstacle, and this matter is not a secret in the DPRK, it can be said that everyone knows about it, this time Zhang Siwei returned to his hometown to recuperate from his old illness, nominally, but in fact, everyone knows that since Longqing died and Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao gained power, the two of them, especially Feng Bao, were forced too much, Zhang Siwei more or less left the imperial court for this reason.

There is also one less character mentioned earlier, when Zhang Fan was still a person, he was recruited into the army by the imperial court, and when he attacked with the army, he met Wang Chonggu, who was guarding Ningxia at that time, Zhang Fan admired Wang Chonggu for both personality and talent, and this Wang Chonggu was exactly Zhang Siwei's uncle.

Now because of Zhang Siwei, Wang Chonggu has also been affected a lot, but fortunately, Wang Chonggu is bent on the side, although the official title of the military department is added, but he does not ask about the struggle in the court, plus Wang Chonggu is one of the famous generals of the Ming Dynasty today, with outstanding martial arts, although Feng Bao also wants to move him many times because of Zhang Siwei's affairs, in order to show his authority, but because of the dissuasion of Zhang Juzheng and other ministers, and the advice of generals such as Qi Jiguang outside, this is not a move.

However, even if Feng Bao didn't do anything against Wang Chonggu, but the impact was there after all, and Wang Chonggu was able to stay unaffected now and still sit in the position of the military affairs of the three provinces because of his own ability.

But since the matter has already happened, it is not so easy to calm down, perhaps, because of this incident, Zhang Siwei, who had no complaints about what happened to him, may resent Feng Baolai because of this.

Therefore, if Zhang Siwei wants to strike first, so as to create some trouble for Feng Bao, it is not impossible.

But today's things, Zhang Fan doesn't think that this is the case, first, even if this matter is successful, it will indeed have a great impact on Feng Bao in the future, but after the impact, this kind of influence is just a face, it will make Feng Bao feel a little embarrassed in the court, and it will not have the slightest impact on the power in Feng Bao's hands and his status now, Zhang Siwei is a person who understands, it is impossible not to see this, if he does this, not only will he not be able to use Feng Bao's revenge the most, It will only anger Feng Bao even more, and it will be even more unfavorable to himself in the future.

Second, from Zhang Fan's understanding of Zhang Siwei, he didn't think that Zhang Siwei would do this at all, yes, Zhang Fan didn't even consider the slightest possibility.

Zhang Siwei is a person who acts above and bound, even if he wants to deal with someone, he will be above the court, draw a line, and a dignified duel, he is definitely not a person who will use these little cleverness to do things behind people's backs, this is understood by anyone in the court, and there is a point that can be corroborated that one of the people Zhang Siwei admires most in his life is his uncle Wang Chonggu, so there are many places in his actions that can see Wang Chonggu's shadow, and he regards Wang Chonggu as a benchmark for himself, from this aspect, He will never do anything that contradicts Wang Chonggu's personality.

Generally speaking, Zhang Siwei is an upright person, and he will never use this method to do anything behind people's backs.

Of course, Zhang Siwei is more or less old-fashioned, when he was still in the court, Zhang Juzheng's idea of reform was also spread a lot, some old-fashioned Zhang Siwei after getting the news, his ideas are very interesting, it can be said to be full of contradictions, but this contradiction is perfectly reflected in his body with a feeling of not violating the harmony at all.

On the one hand, he thinks that Zhang Juzheng's method is good, in his opinion, if Zhang Juzheng does that, and the court also passes and begins to implement it, then in terms of its effect, it is absolutely beneficial, whether it is for the court or the people, the corruption of officials will be greatly reduced, and with it, the people's lives will be much easier.

But on the other hand, he disagreed with Zhang Juzheng's approach, after all, Zhang Juzheng wanted to change the laws of the imperial court, and Zhang Siwei, who was a little old-fashioned in thinking, did not dare to agree with this.

On the one hand, he agrees with its effect, but on the other hand, he opposes its way, and the two sides of this contradiction are all embodied in Zhang Siwei alone, which has to be said to be a kind of spectacle.

However, these are not things that need to be considered now, what should be considered is how much this matter has to do with Zhang Siwei.

Thinking of these things, Zhang Fan and the others had already returned to the outside of the city.

"Let's go, take me over first, and I'll ask them personally," Zhang Fan got off his horse and instructed Liang Chao directly.

"Yes, my lord," Liang Chao didn't say much, and walked directly to a tent in the distance with Zhang Fan.

In the tent, eight people were all tied up and sat side by side on the ground, and the tent was guarded by brocade guards both inside and out, and these people had no possibility of escaping.

After Zhang Fan entered, he sat on a chair that Liang Chao had brought him, and did not speak immediately, but looked at the eight people.

To be honest, these eight people are also a little strange, Zhang Fan didn't look at them carefully before, but now it looks like the problem is not small, one by one is wearing ordinary people's clothes, and their hair is unkempt, and there is a lot of dust on their faces, they look like the people outside, there is no difference, several people are also strong, but this is exactly the problem, although Zhang Fan is not too familiar, but he also understands that this kind of strong appearance is not like the result of perennial farm work, On the contrary, it seems to have been trained for many years.

This is a big problem, after all, there is no gym or anything like this in this era, and ordinary people will not exercise like this, they only have one possibility, these are definitely people who have been soldiers.

Moreover, the expressions on their faces are also a little intriguing, and they can't see how they were interrogated by Liang Chao and them, but there are some strange expressions on the faces of these eight people, as if they are resolute, but they also have a little scared.

Zhang Fan was secretly a little funny in his heart, it must be because Liang Chao didn't know what means they used, so they would be like this.

"You ......" After a while, Zhang Fan opened his mouth and asked, "Where are you all from?"

"Hmph, naturally it's from Shandong," one of them looked at Zhang Fan with some disdain, and said, although it looked very arrogant, but Liang Chao on the side knew that they were already much better than before.

"Shandong, well, yes, it's that kind of smell when you speak," Zhang Fan said with a smile, not caring about his disrespectful appearance at all, "Then, you guys are really sent by Zhang Siwei,"

Hearing Zhang Fan say this, the following eight people are nothing, but Liang Chao on the side has a change on his face, it is obvious that Zhang Fan is asking this question not to verify anything at all, but to keep a great suspicion in his heart.

"Yes," the same person, very determined, replied, "Lord Zhang is as kind to us as a mountain, and Lord Zhang's personality is admirable, but now he is victimized by the eunuchs in the court, and he can't be an official in the court, so I want to seek justice for my lordship,"

"Well, that's a good idea," Zhang Fan said, "However, this matter was planned by yourself, or did Zhang Siwei ask you to do it,"

"I'll wait...... It's up to me to decide," the man said with some hesitation.

"No, no...... My lord, no," at this time, a person on the side suddenly said loudly, with some crying in his voice, "These are all done by Zhang Siwei and asked me to wait, and there is no way for us to wait, and I hope that my lord will spare my life,"

"You dog stuff that eats inside and out," the man who spoke just now suddenly looked at him with a look of righteous indignation, and scolded, "Lord Zhang is not thin with you, how can you be like this?"

Several other people next to him also looked at the man with an angry look, and some even spat on him, and the people on his side wanted to get up and hit him, but they were restrained by Zhang Fan's men.

"Alas......" Seeing this, Zhang Fan sighed, and said in a somewhat troubled tone, "This is difficult to do, if you are like this, I will have to kill you, so as not to have more trouble in the future,"

"If you want to kill, you will kill, I will wait for no regrets," the man still looked stubborn.

The person before was on his knees begging for mercy, saying loudly that Zhang Siwei asked them to do it, and they had no way to do it.

Zhang Fan looked like he hadn't heard their words at all, and said: "It's just that killing you is also troublesome, after all, I have a deep friendship with Gonggong Feng, so I killed you like this, I don't know if Gonggong Feng will not trouble me in the future, saying that I killed my own people by mistake regardless of right and wrong,"

Hearing Zhang Fan say this, Liang Chao on the side suddenly looked like he had a sudden realization.

And the eight people below, all of them look inexplicable, well, at least it looks inexplicable,
