For Wu Yihuang, the past few days have been like hell. No! It's worse than hell!

Although he insisted that Zhang Siwei instructed himself to hire villains to play a black hand in the construction of the Great Wall at Juyongguan, resulting in more than a dozen deaths and several injuries. The rest of the problems in all aspects are also instigated by Zhang Siwei, and he is just coercing, and there is no way to do it.

But Hai Rui didn't believe it at all, I don't know why, Wu Yihuang always had a feeling that Hai Rui, the old man, seemed to know much more than he thought Hai Rui knew!

Wu Yihuang was very panicked in his heart, and what made him most uneasy was that he knew all the news first-hand since he was the left waiter of the military department before. And now that he is in the prison of the Criminal Department, he seems to have become deaf and blind in an instant, and he no longer knows anything, this strong and huge contrast makes Wu Yihuang almost collapse.

But he knew that he could not collapse, because he knew very well who was directing him. This person himself must not be involved in a word, because if it is involved, it is the crime of deceit. His whole family is living in this Jingshi, and now he is only confined in captivity, but if he goes one step further......

Wu Yihuang closed his eyes and leaned against the corner, today is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the day when the prince of the stove went to heaven to report on his work. On this day last year, Mrs. Zou took her two concubines to cook and make sacrifices in person, and also made her favorite crispy chicken. On this day last year, the whole family also made a wish to say that the king of the stove would say a lot of good words after going to heaven, so that he could climb smoothly and give birth to lotus step by step!

But I didn't expect that in just one year, or today, I have been reduced from a second-class member to a low-level prisoner, and he is the kind of low-level prisoner who has no hope of getting out of prison.

The evidence is conclusive, and this one can't run away anyway. And the mastermind ...... Zhang Siwei is also a close confidant of the saint, and he is a bridgehead against Zhang Juzheng's power, and the saint should do his best to protect him. And what about yourself......

Wu Yihuang was extremely indignant in his heart at this moment. The most important thing in the court is to stand in line, for so many years, he has been impartial, not left or right, from the fourth grade of Beijing officials to the second grade, he has become the confidant of the little emperor Zhu Yijun, relying on the innate sensitivity of standing in line.

I thought that it was better to follow the emperor than to follow anyone, but now, this stubborn old man Hai Rui doesn't seem to have made any effort at all, and he can see through the things he has worked hard for so many years, inside and out!

Could it be that he is sharp-eyed!? Or is there a heavenly eye? Wu Yihuang has 10,000 uncertainties in his heart at the moment.

In fact, Hai Rui does not have a sharp eye, nor does he have a good eye. But behind him, there is Zhang Juzheng, who has mastered all the tricks of the courtiers, and there is also Hai Rui's life-saving benefactor, the chief victim of the destruction of the Juyongguan Great Wall construction case, as a tandem line, so this matter became logical and natural.

Sitting in the small hall in the backyard of Zhang's mansion, Zhang Juzheng's spirit today was particularly vigorous, and he didn't drink health tea, but picked up a wine glass and heated a pot of wine. He lifted the flask, poured me a glass, poured another glass for himself, took a sip, and with a "z" sound, he raised his head and put a glass of wine into his stomach.

A hint of flushing flashed on Zhang Juzheng's face, and when I saw it, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and then raised my glass to drink, and raised my head to drink the wine into my stomach.

This wine is so powerful! Drink it into the stomach for a burst of hot heat. Zhang Juzheng looked at me and smiled: "This is tiger bone wine, drinking it at your age is indeed indigestible!" But it's okay to have a few drinks once in a while. ”

I smiled, put down my glass, picked up the flask, poured him half a glass, and filled myself again.

Zhang Juzheng smiled: "Why do you pour me so much?" ”

I didn't make a sound. Zhang Juzheng smiled bitterly, looked at me and said, "It's okay." Drink an extra glass and you won't die early. Drink one less glass and you won't live longer. Fill it up for me! ”

I shook my head helplessly, added three points to his half-filled cup, and said softly: "Don't take evil as small, don't take good as small." ”

Zhang Juzheng smiled, shook his head and picked up the cup, drank it all again, and then pushed the cup in front of me, looked at me and winked.

In desperation, I gave him another eight, but I picked up my wine glass, raised my head again, and filled myself again.

Zhang Juzheng laughed twice and said, "It turns out that you want to grab wine with me!" ”

I shook my head and laughed, "Even if it's it!" ”

Zhang Juzheng picked up the wine glass, but he was not in a hurry to drink, but played back and forth in his hand. His eyes seemed to be staring at the wine in the glass, but he seemed to be very confused, thinking about something. I waited quietly.

After a while, Zhang Juzheng's expression did not change in the slightest, but he said in a low voice: "This can't bring down Zhang Siwei, I'm afraid it will be difficult to bring down in the future!" ”

I nodded. yes, this time it's been a lot of work. While Hai Rui thoroughly investigated the case of destroying the construction of the Great Wall at Juyongguan, after the emperor was initiated, he had already mobilized the forces of Dongchang to conduct a thorough investigation of Wu Yihuang and others involved in the case, and even investigated Zhang Siwei.

As a result, all the deeds of Wu Yihuang in the past 30 years as an official have been investigated clearly, and of course, some of the things involving the palace have naturally been omitted by Dongchang. However, Zhang Siwei's progress here is very slow, and there seems to be a force obstructing it, Hai Rui has repeatedly ordered, but he can't break through this obstruction, and Dongchang seems to be cowering in this matter.

Hai Rui knew that he seemed to have touched something that he shouldn't touch, but what was he afraid of!?

Hai Rui said in his heart, he has no queen, second, he seeks fame, and third, he is almost ancient, so on such a difficult bone, it must be strong when it is strong, and he will be just Yu Gang! If you can't recover because of this incident, then ...... That's really seeking kindness! Give up the old skin, in exchange for everything to be admired!

Therefore, Hai Rui tried his best to track down the case. Although the Inspectorate, the Criminal Department, and even Dali Siqing have hinted to him many times that it is almost enough, Hai Rui is still brave!

It wasn't until one day, when the little emperor Zhu Yijun told Hai Rui that the case of destroying the construction of the Great Wall of Juyongguan had been ascertained and there was no need to trace it again, that Hai Rui knew that the real root was really in the Forbidden City, which was covered with clouds and mountains.

Later, there was a rumor in the team of the three sessions, saying that the crime stopped at Wu Yihuang and the punishment stopped at Zhang Siwei, I don't know where this word came from, and I don't know who came from it, but it seems that everyone in the team takes this as the bottom line, and all judgments and rulings are made on this basis.

Hai Rui was sad and angry. He asked to see the Holy Lord several times, but the Holy Lord refused the request for an audience on the grounds that the dragon body was not safe. So he knew that in this matter, the coffin had been closed.

Thinking of this, I picked up my wine glass and raised it to Zhang Juzheng and said, "Second Uncle Ancestor, no matter what, this time is a victory for us!" It's worth celebrating! ”

This title was asked by Zhang Juzheng, and it can be regarded as an explanation of his history, feelings, and brothers. I didn't resist or resent it, and we grew closer.

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng reached out and touched the wine glass lightly with me, smiled, glanced at me and said, "Qi Lanna!" It's a pity that you didn't get fame when you were young, otherwise, I really have the heart to let you take my place and push this Ming to move forward! ”

With that, we tilted our heads and drank all the wine in our glasses.

I wiped the wine stains from the corner of my mouth and said with a smile: "Everyone has a life!" "Fill it for both of us.

Zhang Juzheng smiled: "Yes! To each his own life! I have my own destiny and I am bound to heaven. Haha, free and easy! As he spoke, he was about to pick up his glass, but I gently pressed it with my right hand.

Zhang Juzheng looked at me and smiled: "Three more drinks!" ”

I looked at him and said, "Two glasses!" ”

Zhang Juzheng laughed and said, "Okay! Two cups! I let go of my hand, he picked up the cup, drank it all, put down the cup and smacked his lips and said: "It is estimated that the little emperor will abandon the car to protect the handsome, this time Wu Yihuang will die, and Zhang Siwei is just a punishment that is not light or heavy, although strictly speaking, it can be regarded as a victory, but compared with expectations, the fruit is too small!" ”

I just drank a glass with him, and at this moment, my stomach was steaming with this tiger bone wine, and I pressed it a few times, and Fang said: "It's not small!" This Forbidden City was not built in a day, so how could the four dimensions collapse with one blow? It's better to take it when you see it! ”

Zhang Juzheng played with the empty cup and said with a smile: "Take it when you see it?" Take it when you see it! Take it when you see it......" said and looked up at me and said, "Qilan, you go and do something!" ”

I asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Juzheng stepped forward and whispered a few words not far from my ear.

I looked at him for a long time, smiled and nodded. He stretched out the empty wine glass, I filled it for him, I poured a glass myself, looked at Zhang Juzheng, and touched him gently.

Wine in the glass.

That night, ugly. The world is quiet, only the howling north wind invades the land of Jingshi.

In the prison of the Criminal Department, Wu Yihuang was wrapped in a thin quilt and was resting in a daze, when he suddenly heard the door locked. He tried to open his eyes, and by the dim light, he saw the cell boss open the cell door with a lantern, and respectfully let in a man in a cloak.

Wu Yihuang had a glimmer of realization in his heart, knowing that his life should come to an end. He wasn't afraid, because he had expected this day to come, but he hadn't expected it to be so early.

The cell boss sent people in, bowed deeply, and then closed the cell door and retreated far away.

Wu Yihuang stared at the visitor and asked softly, "What choice do I have?" ”

The man spoke: "Only a pot of fine wine." ”

Listening to the voice, it was sharp and piercing, it was actually the yellow door in the palace.

Wu Yihuang's mind was racing, it seemed that the person in the Forbidden City was afraid that I wouldn't be able to endure the punishment and said something that shouldn't be said, so he came to give me a ride. He smiled, stretched out his hand and took the pot of wine from the hand of the visitor, and when he got closer, he glanced at it by the light and recognized the person who came, it was Mu Nansi, a celebrity next to Zhu Yijun and a confidant next to the great eunuch Feng Bao.

At this point, Wu Yihuang no longer had any doubts in his heart, this was indeed to send him on his way. He put the flask on the small stool on his left, sat down, and asked, "The ...... What else to explain? ”

Mu Nansi said softly with a sharp voice: "My lord, you should have an explanation when you leave, although the confession has been recorded, isn't the effect of the suicide note better?" What do you think? ”

Wu Yihuang nodded and said, "I'll write it now!" It's just my wife and children......"

Mu Nansi said softly: "That one has already arranged for someone to send your wife, two concubines, and four children to Nanjing, so that they can have children and raise them." Naturally, they also found a substitute to die for them. ”

Wu Yihuang nodded again and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”

As he spoke, his subordinates had already written a short suicide note. The suicide note is nine big characters: "Zhang Siwei, the one who forced me to commit the crime!" ”

After writing it, he showed it to Mu Nansi, Mu Nansi nodded, and Wu Yihuang put the suicide note on the small stool at the bedside, sat back at the head of the bed, arranged his clothes and hair, and turned his head to look at the wine jug at the head of the bed......

After Munansi came out, he got into the car and stayed away from the prison of the Criminal Department. Turn the third corner and stop. I boarded the carriage and got into the carriage. When Munansi saw that it was me, he handed me the empty flask and said, "All the best! ”

I nodded, reached out and pulled a small bag from my bosom and gently placed it on Munansi's hand.

Mu Nansi smiled flatteringly: "It's all about worrying about the Lord!" Lord Sun is so polite! ”

I arched my hand and said, "Say hello to Chief Officer Feng for me!" I returned the salute and I got out of the back door, and soon the sound of horses' hooves sounded and faded into the darkness.

Mu Nansi gently flicked the heavy bag in his hand, listened to the soft sound of metal, smiled slightly, and ordered the groom to drive in the other direction, farther and farther.

Only the howling north wind remains, telling the sleeping world in vain what it has seen and heard......
