Chapter 941: Causal Connection
"My lord," Wang Meng found Zhang Fan, obviously he had something to say to Zhang Fan, and he still had a serious and mysterious look on his face, obviously he had something important to say to Zhang Fan, so when Zhang Fan saw Wang Meng's appearance, he didn't say a word, and directly came to a yamen with Wang Meng It was very remote, and he didn't worry about the wall having ears, and it was used for secret talks.
"Say, what did you find," after entering the room, Zhang Fan asked Wang Meng, he didn't say anything else, he didn't delay the slightest, after all, this incomprehensible matter has always been pressing on Zhang Fan's heart, if he doesn't understand it, Zhang Fan naturally can't feel at ease.
Since he has come to this place, the news that Wang Meng wants to say should also be worthy of this place, fortunately, Wang Meng will never disappoint Zhang Fan, and the news he said really made Zhang Fan feel that he had already caught something.
"My lord, let people infiltrate the rear army to investigate," Wang Meng didn't talk nonsense, and said directly, "After so many days, some things have been found,"
It turned out that after Zhang Fan followed Zhu Yijun back from the suburbs of Beijing that day, he heard that someone had actually come to his house to report the news on the night of the assassination.
Through secret communication with Zheng Chengxian, Jin Yiwei secretly sent someone to infiltrate the rear army to inquire about the news, of course, this matter was done in secret, for Zheng Chengxian, it is even easier to fool, after all, Zheng Chengxian is now able to be called the head of the horse for Zhang Fan, even if Zhang Fan doesn't say anything, Zheng Chengxian will agree, and he won't ask anything.
However, Zhang Fan didn't do this, after all, this matter was not explained to him by the Empress Dowager Li, but about Zhang Fan's own, although compared to it, maybe the emperor's matter is bigger, but for Zhang Fan, the things related to himself are the things he should pay attention to the most, so in comparison, Zhang Fan has to do more perfect in this matter.
Therefore, he told Zheng Chengxian about the half-truth, someone went to Zhang's house to report the news, this matter was true, Zhang Fan told him, but Zhang Fan did not tell him that there was a part of him behind the entire assassination time, that is to say, the news that Zhang Fan told Zheng Chengxian made Zheng Chengxian feel that those who planned to assassinate not only had to deal with the emperor, but also against Zhang Fan.
This time, it made Zheng Chengxian nervous, after all, Zheng Chengxian today is no longer like in the past, he feels that he is already his own limit now, and he was "enlightened" by Zhang Fan that day, he suddenly felt that he still seemed to have potential, and he could go to the next level, but this so-called "potential" is not only something that he can complete by himself, but also needs someone to help, and the person who helps is naturally Zhang Fan.
But now, Zheng Chengxian heard that someone dared to threaten Zhang Fan's safety, and for Zheng Chengxian today, threatening Zhang Fan's safety is tantamount to threatening his Zheng Chengxian's future, after all, today's Zheng Chengxian can be regarded as relying on Zhang Fan greatly, if something happens to Zhang Fan, then Zheng Chengxian's determination that has just arisen is not in vain, he naturally can't let people say that he is determined, whether it is desire, in short, Zheng Chengxian will not let anything happen to Zhang Fan now.
There is also the problem now, this is no longer a matter of Zhang Fan himself, after all, Zhang Fan is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and every day he is protected by a large number of masters, and the only time that Zhang Fan can be alone is only when he is in the palace, but after all, the palace is in the palace, and the people in the court don't care, but it is almost impossible for outsiders to do it in the palace, and if the people in the court want to do it, I am afraid that no matter how many people protect it, it will be useless.
And now, what Zhang Fan and Zheng Chengxian are worried about is that no matter who it is, they will make a move on Zhang Fan's family, although Zhang Fan's family also has many good hands guarding in the open and in secret, but after all, it is not as good as the people around Zhang Fan, if someone takes advantage of it, it will be over.
Zhang Fan is not wrong to worry that something will happen to his family, but why is Zheng Chengxian worried, the reason for this is actually a little weird.
What Zheng Chengxian is worried about is that now Zhang Fan told him that it is very likely that the people who have something to do with this matter are in the rear army under his jurisdiction, if he doesn't help, in case Zhang Fan doesn't find out in the future, and finally something happens to Zhang Fan's family...... Zheng Chengxian is afraid, when Zhang Fan retaliates, he will put the responsibility on his head, if that is really the case, let alone any future ideals and plans, I am afraid that Zheng Chengxian can be said to be unable to save his life.
It was precisely because he thought that Zheng Chengxian had figured out these things, so now that Zhang Fan asked him to help investigate this matter, he only thought about the stakes a little, and then agreed without hesitation, after all, it can be said that it was originally a matter that was only slightly involved with him, but now it has been completely involved with him.
And after Zheng Chengxian's side readily agreed, Zhang Fan's side naturally would not be idle, and he immediately let Wang Meng take action.
Wang Meng also selected a good candidate and placed it in the rear army, to say this matter, without Zheng Chengxian's help, it is really difficult, after all, it is one of the rear army of the five armies, it is the Imperial Forest Army, although there are so many people, most of the soldiers are from ordinary people, but it is still very difficult to get in, although this era, it is not as developed as information five hundred years later, if you want to know what information of whom, you only need to check it to understand, However, it still needs to go through a lot of formalities before you can enter, and it is extremely difficult to insert people in the middle of the process, not to mention letting people in without even checking them.
Fortunately, on the one hand, there is Jinyiwei, under the vast supernatural powers, nothing can be obtained, and on the other side is Zheng Chengxian, the deputy governor of the rear army, and now the governor Zhu Xizhong has long been unable to ask about these things, but he just hung up the title of a governor, in fact, the management of the rear army has been handed over to Zheng Chengxian, so, let a few people in, Zheng Chengxian naturally has this right, although it will also cause some people to spend a lot of effort at the beginning, The complaints of those who have worked hard to get into the rear army, but in the final analysis, these people are just the lowest soldiers, and they naturally can't say anything about Zheng Chengxian, their supreme commander now.
Therefore, Zhang Fan's people entered the rear army very smoothly, and Zhang Fan's side did not ignore it because he had already photographed people, and at the same time as secretly investigating, he was also not idle here, of course, the method used here was more clumsy, Zhang Fan asked Zheng Chengxian to bring all the rosters of the 1,000 people who accompanied him to the suburbs of Beijing to protect Zhu Yijun during that time, and at the same time there were also the files of these 1,000 people, because Zhang Fan was very concerned about this matter, so he didn't cut corners and didn't let go of one.
Of course, it sounds like a file of a thousand people is a bit too large, but in fact, there are not so many, you know, no matter what, it is also in the army, not a place where everything needs to be recorded in detail, only what needs to be recorded, so this so-called file is just a record of the person's surname, where he is, when he joined the army, what merits he made on the way, or what mistakes he made.
As for meritorious service or making mistakes, these are not what Zhang Fan is looking for, what he is really looking for is when these people joined the army.
Although Zhang Fan can't be sure who is manipulating this matter behind his back, Zhang Fan understands that the person who is doing this thing behind him should not send someone to lurk in too early, and now this is to deal with himself, but since Zhang Fan joined the office, until he needs to worry that he will be dealt with, it is also after he became the governor of Jinyiwei, and it has been almost five years.
So here, Zhang Fan asked people to find out all the people who entered the rear army among the thousands of people five years ago, but nearly half of the number was among them, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and there are no special cases among them, and there are no suspicious characters who are inserted halfway.
Five years ago, it happened to be the first time that the rear army was recruited, and among these five or six hundred people, three hundred people came in at that time, and the people who were recruited the year before last, the three hundred or so people who were born, and nearly two hundred people Yes, the rest is this year, only about 100 people.
However, classifying these things is also useless, after all, this is compared to looking for a needle in a haystack and becoming in a lake, and there is no essential difference for Zhang Fan.
Therefore, now Zhang Fan can only wait intently for his subordinates to investigate what has been passed on, so that he can see whether there is a problem in this.
Now, Wang Meng came to tell him, obviously because he found something again, which made Zhang Fan look forward to it, if Wang Meng can tell him some useful news, let him determine a candidate, he will be able to follow the vine, follow this line, and drag the people behind him out.
