Chapter 665: Suspicion
"Your Excellency. Grandpa Feng. "In front of the yamen of the Jinyi Guard. Liang Chao bowed his hand to Zhang Fan and Feng Bao, who were here.
Of course. Feng Bao naturally won't say much about a little person like Liang Chao. Just nodded. Even if it means a return gift. Of course. Naturally, he couldn't have been very enthusiastic. After all, that's it. On the contrary, it seems that he Feng Bao is a little low-level.
Zhang Fan naturally didn't care about those things. He asked Feng Bao to go in first. Then he said to Liang Chao: "I'll give you one thing." ”
Liang Chao thought that Zhang Fan wanted him to prepare something. used to deal with Feng Bao's. Heard Zhang Fan say this. He immediately asked, "Please ask someone else to give me orders." ”
"You're now. Let's go to the clinic on the street west of my house. Zhang Fan said. It's been too busy today. There's something going on at home again. But he forgot about this stubble. Xiangmei doesn't seem to have gone back yet. Inside the house. The old woman's mind is still on her newborn granddaughter. Wait until you remember it. But I can't see the fragrant plum. It's a nuisance again. You get a wagon. Go and take Xiangmei home in person. I don't know how Xiangmei is now. But now it's too late. Let her spend the night with a woman. Or let her come alone. It's really not worrying. Other than that. I'm talking to Ru Xue. So they don't have to worry. I won't go back too late. ”
Hearing what Zhang Fan commanded was this matter. Liang Chao suddenly felt a little bored. But since this matter was ordered by Zhang Fan. Liang Chao will naturally listen to his orders: "Don't worry, my lord." This matter is humbled and gone personally. I will definitely send Miss Xiangmei to the adult's mansion safely. I will not forget to convey my lord's words to my wife. ”
"Hmm." Nodding. Zhang Fan looked at the gate of the yamen. sighed. Said. "That's fine."
Although he was instructed by Zhang Fan. However, Liang Chao saw Zhang Fan's sighing appearance now. But he didn't go right away. Instead, he whispered, "My lord." How things were. ”
"It's a lot of trouble." Zhang Fan said with a frown. "Feng Bao's house. Vigilance is really big. Although the way I showed it. It's flawless. I didn't even let him see it, I knew. But. He was still not at ease. Although I didn't say it. But I know. He's a little skeptical of me now, too. ”
"This ......," I heard Zhang Fan say. Liang Chao suddenly hesitated. Asked. "That being the case. Is it to stay in a humble position? Miss Xiangmei's side. Let the other brethren go. ”
"No, you don't." Zhang Fan waved his hand and said. "You're tired today, too. After that, let's go home and rest. Aren't you going to redeem Hong'er? Today is already a day of delay. Let's go early tomorrow morning. Let her stay there for an extra day. It's not good. And. This side is followed by trouble. But you can't help much. And. Feng Bao knows that you are my confidant. When I go in and interrogate them. I'm going to take you with me. He's afraid he'll suspect something, too. After all, nowadays. His suspicions never let go. We're having a hard time doing it now. It can't be complicated anymore. ”
For what Zhang Fan said. Say he's useless here. Instead, it gets in the way. Liang Chao did not show any dissatisfaction with this. Or some kind of depressed appearance. After all, his time as a brocade guard has continued. He understood. In this court. Regardless of the emperor. Or down to the pawn. In a lot of the time. It's just a tool. Sometimes. Tools can come in handy. But sometimes. But it will get into trouble. Liang Chao deeply understood this truth in his heart. So. Even if Zhang Fan said something that actually hit him a little. But Liang Chao didn't feel anything wrong. Opposite. Only such Zhang Fan. It's what makes him more worthy of follow. Won't be emotional. Don't let your personal influence affect the big picture.
"That being the case. Humble duty understood. Liang Chao nodded. Said. "Let's go."
After seeing Liang Chao leave. Zhang Fan stood in front of the yamen. It seems to be thinking about something. After a while. This is the only way to turn around and walk into the yamen.
In the lobby of the yamen. Feng Bao is very laid-back. Sitting there drinking tea. Same as he said before. In the palace, Empress Dowager Li was in a hurry to wait for news, and the situation was completely opposite. It's completely a leisurely look. The four people who came with Feng Bao stood aside. But he didn't show any impatient expression. As if it had nothing to do with them. They came here. It's just to be Feng Bao's guard. They don't ask anything else. Of course. For this. Zhang Fan was very skeptical.
"Lord Zhang. But there was something. "I saw Zhang Fan come in. Feng Bao asked.
Although Feng Bao asked normally. The tone is also usual. Even his demeanor is completely indifferent. It's like just asking casually. But even so. Today's Zhang Fan can be regarded as a soldier. Even Feng Bao didn't have any extraordinary actions at all. In his opinion. Feng Bao asked this question, in fact, he was suspicious of something.
Perhaps. It's really wrong for Zhang Fan to be so nervous. And it's easy to do bad things. But Zhang Fan himself understands. But he understands better. Things are happening at a very important point now. There is no room for even the slightest mistake. Therefore. It's not too much to be nervous.
"My father-in-law is too worried." Zhang Fan smiled. Said to Feng Bao. "Today's noon thing. A little maid in the family was injured. Although only a subordinate. But it's also a maid who serves her mother closely. So the mother at home is extremely concerned. Now he is still in the hospital. That's what I asked people to send her back. ”
"Lord Zhang cares about his subordinates. Feng Bao really admired. Feng Bao said. The words are neither salty nor light.
Zhang Fan didn't care. said: "Since my father-in-law has arrived." The queen mother in the palace urged again. We don't have to waste time. Hurry up and review. Even if it's something absurd. At the very least, it's good to give the Queen Mother a reply. Let the Queen Mother have a good rest. ”
"What Master Zhang said is true." For Zhang Fan, he said so. Feng Bao naturally would not object. "That being the case. Let's get started. ”
"But ......" Zhang Fan suddenly hesitated again. The brow furrowed slightly. Said. "Although before. My father-in-law has agreed to have me and my father-in-law try these people together. But now. This is the yamen of my brocade guard. There are no people from the East Factory here. Does my father-in-law want to ......?"
"Lord Zhang. This matter is not bothered. Feng Bao naturally knew what Zhang Fan meant. Said with a smile. He looked at one of the guards he had brought. Said. "Wei Yong."
"Father-in-law." The guard heard Feng Bao's words. He stood up and saluted Feng Bao. You said to Zhang Fan with a fist. "Wei Yong has seen Master Zhang."
"Father-in-law. This is ......" in the face of Feng Bao's move. Zhang Fan was a little puzzled.
"Master Zhang." Feng Bao's smile remained undiminished. Said. "Wei Yong before he was promoted to the palace guard. It's from my East Factory. Especially when it comes to interrogating prisoners. He has a lot of experience. It doesn't matter what kind of charlatan you are. Or those corrupt officials who stubbornly refuse to speak. As long as Wei Yong goes up. It doesn't take half a column of incense. It is bound to speak. It's not that our family doesn't believe in Jinyiwei's methods. However, I hope that Mr. Zhang can be accommodating. ”
"So...... In this way, Zhang Fanke was relieved. Zhang Fan said helplessly. It seemed that he had thought that Feng Bao had come prepared. Now it seems that this is indeed the case.
"But ......," Feng Bao didn't stop. Go on. "No matter what. Wei Yong is also only one person. And there are eight over there. I'm running out of manpower. Mr. Zhang. Whether ......"
"Please rest assured." Zhang Fan naturally understood what Feng Bao wanted to say. Said to the subordinates next to him. "Listen. Today, I will try those people together with Gonggong Feng. If Gonggong Feng has any orders. You will obey. Feng Gonggong's words. It's no different from me. Do you understand. ”
"It's my lord. Humble obedience. Zhang Fan's subordinates around him said together.
See so. Feng Bao naturally rose up: "Since that's the case." Mr. Zhang. Let's not delay any longer. ”
"That's what my father-in-law said." Zhang Fan said. They were then taken to the cell where the prisoners were held.
Jin Yiwei's cell. Zhang Fan doesn't know how many times he's been here. Feng Bao has also been here a lot. Cells here. There are big and small. Although the location is underground. It's always a dark and damp place. But there are a lot of differences these days. The most obvious point is this. Since Zhang Fan served as the commander of Jinyiwei. The number of prisoners here has been greatly reduced. Sometimes. Someone was caught coming in. But it was quickly released.
After Zhang Fan became a commander. It was quickly recognized by the Weizhong personnel. But that's the only thing about it. A lot of people have some complaints. Of course. Especially the people who take care of it. The most unpleasant. After all. There are fewer prisoners. Although they have fewer things to manage. But it's obvious. There are fewer things to extort.
The people who were locked up here. Most of them were raided. However, the so-called cunning rabbit three holes. A lot of people have a backhand. Sometimes. These jailers can do some good. Sometimes it's even a big benefit. And all the people inside want is to be comfortable.
Right now. It's lively again. In a fairly spacious cell. Eight people were tied to the shelves side by side. Although it may seem. All of them are miserable. Unkempt. Just look closely, though. You can find out. In fact, they had not been punished at all.
It's just that what will happen later. But I don't know. Even if Zhang Fan is sure now. These eight people must be Feng Bao's people. But Feng Bao's actions. How will he face his own people. Zhang Fan is really hard to say.
