Before Wang Yan arranged for people to spread the news, so Zhang Bin relied on the favor of the Son of Heaven and made a great contribution, instructing his entourage to kill Ma Binrui, a minister of Taishi who had a holiday with him, and also sent someone to destroy Ma Binrui's Manmen The news began to spread in the capital.

Zhang Bin is now a celebrity in the capital, and for ordinary people, as long as they are celebrities and officials, they like to talk about it the most, and ordinary people have a natural hatred for the powerful, as long as they hear that the powerful are unlucky and the powerful have done bad things, they will be inexplicably excited when they talk about it.

As with all stories, they are distorted as they are passed on, and everyone who tells the story seems to have seen it with their own eyes.

The upstart of the imperial court, relying on his great achievements, favored the Son of Heaven, sent a vicious entourage to kill another official who offended him, and did not understand his hatred, and directly destroyed his family......

Bianjing City is full of stories and gossip about Zhang Bin's flying and domineering.

This story reached the ears of Sima Guang, who was writing his resignation.

On the Longtuge University Scholar's Mansion, Sima Guang had a gloomy face, and he had aged for a year or two in a few days, and his resignation was nothing to him, as long as he was famous, it was not difficult to make a comeback.

However, this time he lost badly, which was too much of a blow to his reputation.

And Sima Guang knew in his heart that the more famous he was, the more he couldn't resign, so he didn't go into the palace to resign immediately after the bidding meeting ended yesterday, he had been thinking of a way to not leave the center of the court, but as long as Zhang Bin was still alive and staying in the capital as a great hero, even if he forcibly stayed, he would not have the face to stay.

Sima Guang was depressed, and although he hated Zhang Bin to death, he also regretted his bet with Zhang Bin to death......

From morning to afternoon, all day long, Sima Guang sat upright on the couch, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and the beautiful words were meandering under the pen.

An attendant quietly walked into the study, originally wanted to speak, but saw Sima Guang looking at the folds on the table intently, motionless, so he held his breath and stood quietly aside, because he knew that his master was in a bad mood, and he also hated being disturbed when he was concentrating on things or thinking about things.

I don't know how long it took, Sima Guang sighed, wrote another resignation in one breath, and then put the pen on the jasper pen holder, and the attendant gently stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"What?" Sima Guangzhi is very strict with his family, and he never gives his subordinates a good face, but if he does something well, his reward is very heavy.

"Master, there are rumors in the market, which are related to that Zhang Bin."

When Sima Guang heard the name "Zhang Bin", his brows jumped, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What rumors?" ”

"Zhang Bin relied on the favor of the Son of Heaven and sent his entourage to kill Ma Binrui, the minister of the Taishi Bureau who had a holiday with him, and sent someone to destroy Ma Binrui's ......"

"There is such a thing." Sima Guang was shocked, but after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "This is impossible." ”

"But ......" Sima Guang sneered: "No matter who deals with Zhang Bin, this is the old man's chance." ”

As he spoke, he took up the pen and wrote six letters of worship in one breath, handed them to the entourage, and instructed: "Send my letters of worship to these six mansions, and you will arrange for some people to add a fire and spread rumors everywhere, I want to make Zhang Bin a big villain in the eyes of the people of the capital, so that the people can be excited, so that it can become a big help to me." ”

………

………

Under the instigation of Sima Guang's faction, many people inside and outside the capital have become indignant, and public opinion has condemned Zhang Bin for being arrogant, vicious and arrogant.

Wang Yan and Sima Guang successively let people spread rumors and incitement, but the main thing is that the people are naturally sympathetic to the weak, or sympathetic to the unlucky.

In the eyes of the people who don't know the truth, Ma Binrui's family is the victim, not to mention his tragic death, the family was wiped out, and the murderer and the mastermind behind the scenes are still alive, which makes many people feel angry, because this represents the most unfair place, and this unfairness may fall on them at some point.

Under the deliberate instigation of someone, the distant relatives of the Ma family gathered hundreds of people to come to the criminal department, and a group of people knelt outside the yamen to ask the court to uphold justice.

Feng Jing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is not an ordinary role, and his qualifications are enough to become a deputy to the Governor or the Privy Council, but he is short of fame and merit, although he attaches importance to the hundred or so people kneeling outside the door, he is not afraid, and sends people to forcibly drive them away.

However, after such a fuss, this murder case finally exploded in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is undoubtedly an extremely angry thing, because this is too unfair, the innocent Ma family has been wiped out, and the murderer is still alive and very nourishing, I heard that he will be rewarded again by the Son of Heaven soon.

However, in the eyes of some important ministers and individual insiders in the imperial court, this matter is becoming more and more interesting.

…………

…………

In the yamen of the three divisions, Wu Chong, the envoy of the three divisions, listened to the gloating discussions of several subordinate officials outside the door, and frowned tightly.

Zhang Bin acted so ruthlessly and unscrupulously?

If it really doesn't count as killing Ma Binrui alone, but also relying on the favor of the Son of Heaven and making great contributions, and destroying the full family of a court official, then this matter will be big, and it will be too big to atone for the crime.

But how is this possible?

……

……

"This son has an extraordinary mind and has always acted calmly, even if he has an enmity with that Ma Binrui, he shouldn't be so reckless!" In the prime minister's mansion, after listening to Han Ziming's report, Han Qi squinted and said lightly.

"Grandfather thinks there is something else going on in this matter?" Han Ziming asked respectfully.

Han Qi nodded and said: "Zhang Bin has blocked the financial path of many people recently, and there are also a few enemies, this is someone who wants to destroy him, if he can pass this level smoothly, it can be regarded as a prestige, and in the future, he will also have a foundation, sit firmly in the court, and the future is limitless." ”

……

……

On Zhang Bin's house, Cai Jing, Su Guo, Sun Guodong, and Zhang Santao came to the door together, but Zhang Bin was not in the house, and the four of them had something on their minds, so they stayed in the living room and waited for Hou Zhang Bin to come back.

At this time, the four of them looked worried, and their brows were tightly frowned.

It is too common for officials to have personal enmity between them because of interests and party disputes, but it is generally through officialdom to put each other to death, and send people to assassinate or even destroy the door, which is no longer a taboo, but a unscrupulous challenge to the authority of the court and the Son of Heaven, which is a serious crime, even if the person who does this thing makes a great contribution, it is difficult to offset this matter, because the impact is too bad.

In short, if Zhang Bin can't prove his innocence this time, I'm afraid it will be dangerous.
