Chapter 431: The Startled Snake
Shen Teng, the head of the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War, finally sent Jiang Botao's wife away, wiped his sweat with a hand towel, and said: "It's really troublesome, he actually found me here, why didn't he go to Yan Qi, a member of the Criminal Department."

His wife asked, "Well, sir, will you help or not?" Our family and Pan Renke are both from Haining County, Yijiang, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate not to help. ā
Shen Teng waved his hand and said, "Lord Yan already has orders, so I can only do things according to Lord Yan's orders." ā
"Besides, I also believe that Lord Yan's orders will be beneficial to us."
When his wife heard this, she stopped talking and returned to the backyard. Shen Teng also stood up, planning to go back to his study.
But he suddenly heard an 'ah', the voice was very short, and the volume was not high, but Shen Teng instantly recognized that it was his wife's voice.
Shen Teng panicked all of a sudden, and hurriedly ran to the backyard, he was afraid that it was the thieves who came to steal that found out about his wife, so he captured her. Their family is not a rich and noble family, and there are few people in the backyard.
But when he ran to the place where the sound came from, he found that someone had indeed captured his wife, but the person who had captured his wife did not look like a thief as he had imagined.
This is a man who looks very gentle, and although he wears clothes that are not easily noticed by daylight, he is definitely not a thief.
Since it's not a thief, let's talk about it. Shen Teng said: "I don't care who you are, and it doesn't matter why you came to my house, as long as you let my wife go, I won't ask anything and let you go." ā
He realized that something was wrong, but he didn't know why, so he said it.
However, it should be said that it was not unexpected, this man cleanly refused. He said: "Lord Shen, I am not here to treat Mrs. Zun, so Mrs. Zun's safety master must rest assured." ā
But hearing his words, Shen Teng's face became even more ugly. He said: "Knowing the name of this official, are you from the town division?" Or the people of Jinyiwei? ā
The man didn't answer the question, but said, "I've found what I'm looking for, and it's time to go." Mrs. Ling just fainted, and there was no major problem. With that, the man went out of the house, climbed onto the roof, and disappeared.
Shen Teng sat down quietly, waited until his wife woke up and explained some things to her, and then just as his wife asked, "Master, what are you doing with me", someone began to knock on their door.
ā¦ā¦
Guo Hongtao said to Zhou Junchen: "You see, when people are in an emergency, if they don't have prior arrangements, they will do some wrong things. ā
"If Jiang Botao hadn't told his wife before that Shen Teng was his true friend, and she rushed to Shen Teng's house to go to the doctor, how would we know that Shen Teng was so important? Jiang Botao had never visited Shen Teng in Beijing. ā
Zhou Junchen sighed: "So when they arrested Pan Ren before, they didn't raid their homes or detain their families, just for this?" ā
Guo Hongtao said: "Not bad. First of all, almost all of the people who were arrested already knew that they were exposed, so even if they raided their homes, they wouldn't get anything useful. ā
"Second, they didn't expect His Majesty to do it before the New Year, so when His Majesty said those words at yesterday's court meeting, they thought it was just another knock on the mountain and shocked the tiger, but they relaxed their vigilance."
"Then they will be even less prepared for the harvest that we can have today. I just didn't expect Deng Fu to be so resolute, and his wife is also very human, otherwise we would have gained more today. ā
At this time, a person walked in and said to Guo Hongtao: "My lord, a servant of the Pan Ren family is going to find Yan Qi, a member of the criminal department, and he is still careful, but today he is still in a hurry, and we found out that he missed the horse's feet." ā
"After that, we sent people to search Yan Qi's home, and sure enough, we found something, and it was something very important."
"What's that?"
"Something that can prove that Yan Zhenzhi is related to the case of rebellion!"
Guo Hongtao took these things from his hand, looked at them carefully, and then said, "Not bad." You're doing a good job. ā
But with this, it is still not certain that Yan Zhenzhi is involved in this case. You see, in these words, which sentence mentions Yan Zhenzhi? It's all just metaphors. ā
"Now Your Majesty has directly taken down several officials without being interrogated by the three divisions, and then you can't take down Yan Zhenzhi with these things, Your Majesty must maintain the rules."
After saying the last sentence, Guo Hongtao was a little emotional, and he didn't know what he was feeling.
Lai Xing said: "Then what should I do? ā
Guo Hongtao said: "First put Yan Qi and the others in prison, and send the three whips Liu brought back from Beiping by His Majesty to interrogate them and see if they can ask anything." ā
"As for the rest, Your Majesty will not be unprepared."
========================================
In the Qianqing Palace, Yun Xi was in Miaojin's Yanxi Palace at this time, talking to her.
The two talked for a while, and Xu Miaojin said: "Husband, there are some things in my heart, I can't forget it after coming to me from Qianqing Palace for so long, it must be a big thing." ā
Yun Xi said: "That's true. ā
Xu Miaojin frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Is it about the rebellion case?" ā
Yunxi nodded.
Xu Miaojin actually didn't know what Yunxi had done, but she said: "Husband, you are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, why do you have to make so many preparations, just send them to prison?" ā
Yun Xi lay down on the Luohan bed and said with a smile: "You didn't learn much from your eldest brother in the Wei State Mansion, but it was Xu Zengshou's practice." ā
"Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh, it can't be so simple." Yun Xi didn't explain in too much detail.
Xu Miaojin didn't ask. She knows the measure of things very well, and never asks more than she shouldn't, no matter how curious she is.
Xu Miaojin turned around and took out a horizontal flute and blew it.
Although she has been pampered since she was a child, her family's teaching to her has never relaxed, so she not only has far more insight than ordinary women in the world, more than ordinary talents, but also has outstanding ability to play the transverse flute. At this moment, her transverse flute blew, and in an instant it blew away the irritability in the room.
Yun Xi's original frowning brow gradually eased.
Xu Miaojin blew like this, song after song, until fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he did not stop.
But at this moment, Wang Xi walked in and saluted Xu Miaojin, and then said something in Yun Xi's ear.
Yun Xi opened his closed eyes and said to Xu Miaojin, "Stop." Then he sat up, reached out and picked up the hand towel that Xu Miaojin put aside, wiped the sweat beads on her forehead, and said, "Husband, I'll come back when I go." ā
After wiping Xu Miaojin's forehead, he put down his handkerchief and turned around and left Yanxi Palace.
Xu Miaojin picked up the handkerchief, grabbed it tightly, and then suddenly laughed, and didn't know what he was laughing at.
