Volume 7 Chapter 63 The Dead
Is Wang Yingxiong corrupt?
This is for sure, the so-called no wind and no waves, if he hadn't been corrupt, Zhang Zhengchen and Fan Shutai in the matter, and Feng Yuanbiao in the right of the Ministry of Rites would not have been able to impeach him.
Although these people have the right to hear and say things, they rarely chase the wind and catch the shadows, listen to the wind is the rain, what kind of framing and framing, and the tricks made out of nothing can only be played by the shameless people of the eunuch party and the remnants of the eunuch party, such as Feng Yuanbiao, Zhang Zhengchen and Fan Shutai, these upright officials will never talk nonsense, they really discovered Wang Yingxiong's corruption before they played the impeachment.
It's a pity that at that time, Wen Tiren could be said to cover the sky with one hand, and the cabinet, the six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other important yamen, except for one household department that was not under his control, the other yamen were all pinched in his hands, so Feng Yuanbiao, Zhang Zhengchen and Fan Shutai were all planted, and they were planted very miserably.
At this time, Huang Chenghao entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate, will he be able to shake Wen Tiren's party and punish Wang Yingxiong?
This question is really difficult, because the Ministry of Rites is still under the control of Wen Tiren at this time, and it is basically impossible to collect evidence of Wang Yingxiong's corruption.
Huang Chenghao has made no progress during this time, and there is no way to take Wang Yingxiong.
He knew how Wang Yingxiong was corrupt, which Feng Yuanbiao had already made clear in the letter he wrote.
During his tenure as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Yingxiong was in charge of the Host and Guest Cleaning Officials Division and the Jingshan Cleaning Officials Division, mainly responsible for receiving foreign guests and holding feasts and sacrificial affairs.
For example, the Ming Dynasty received foreign guests that were all delicious and drinkable, and they had to send a lot of things before leaving, in order to show the demeanor of a great country, if they were honest and honest officials, how much people ate was, and how much they sent, but Wang Yingxiong didn't do that, he doubled the meals for receiving foreign guests and the gifts for foreign guests.
This seemingly absurd method has no problem at all when it comes to Wang Yingxiong, because someone above has criticized him, and as much as he dares to write, people will dare to give him as much as he wants!
Although Huang Chenghao knows these things, it is difficult to find evidence, there is no problem with all kinds of procedures, can you call back the foreign guests received by Wang Yingxiong one by one to confront him, this matter is absolutely impossible, because Daming can't afford to lose this person.
Zhang Bin secretly heard the news and immediately cried and laughed, this kind of thing, you want to clean up a cabinet scholar, it's a dream, even if you have conclusive evidence, as long as people flicker a few words, Chongzhen will be fooled, what can you bear with him?
This kind of thing is purely work for nothing, Feng Yuanbiao, Zhang Zhengchen and Fan Shutai have already paid the price of blood to try, Huang Chenghao even followed in the footsteps of others and was stupid, does he think that Chongzhen will definitely believe what he said about the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace?
This kind of obviously unreliable thing, Zhang Bin could only shake his head and smile bitterly when he heard it, but Huang Chenghao's secret son is still very useful, and Zhang Bin decided to help him.
That night, it was still around midnight, Huang Chenghao cleaned up in the study, and hurriedly walked to the small pink room, he still didn't notice that there were two black shadows squatting under the window edge of the study.
However, Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan have noticed it a long time ago, because these two black shadows often visit Huang Chenghao's mansion, and the path they took into the mansion, and even where they changed their night clothes were clearly understood by Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan, so they were already locked by Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan before they entered Huang Chenghao's mansion over the wall.
Wen Tiren was also a little anxious during this time, Huang Chenghao couldn't find evidence of Wang Yingxiong's corruption, and he didn't organize people to impeach Wang Yingxiong, so he didn't even have a chance to fight back, but he wanted to "take" it back as soon as possible, so during this time, he always sent people to Huang Chenghao to investigate the news, if Huang Chenghao had no "progress" in Wang Yingxiong's corruption case, he was even ready to let people plant it!
These Huang Chenghao naturally didn't know, he ran into Xiao Taohong's bedroom, ready to warm up and go to bed, but as soon as he entered the door, he was stunned, because there were people in Xiao Taohong's room, and there were many people, the one-eyed dragon was sitting at the small round table next to the bed, looking at him with a smile, and there were four people in black standing around the bedroom, and Xiao Taohong was sitting on the edge of the bed with the maid in the room shivering.
Why is this guy here again, is there anything good that can't be done?
He had already seen that this one-eyed dragon was not a bad person, but a good person, a big good person, last time, he gave himself a great gift, making himself the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Palace, so he did not panic, but joked: "This military master, is there any big gift to give me?" ”
Zhang Bin nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, I was about to give you two big fish." ”
Huang Chenghao couldn't help but be surprised: "Oh, where is it, why don't I take someone to arrest it now?" ”
Zhang Bin still smiled and said, "It's in your house, you don't need to bring someone to arrest it." ”
Huang Chenghao thought that Zhang Bin had already arrested someone and escorted him to his house, which was a good feeling, saving him a lot of trouble to run.
He hurriedly arched his hand and said, "I don't know where the people are, I bother the military master to take me to see it." ”
Zhang Bin nodded, stood up and walked out, and the black-clothed people scattered around followed quietly.
Huang Chenghao glanced at Xiao Taohong, and then followed with a fart.
Unexpectedly, when he went out, the one-eyed dragon actually took him straight to the direction of the study.
He felt this strange in his heart, he had just come from the study, was there anyone there, why didn't he know?
Of course there are people there, and there are a lot of people, as soon as he followed Zhang Bin to the door of the study, more than ten black shadows flashed in the dark, faintly surrounding the study.
These people were obviously the subordinates of the One-Eyed Dragon, so why did they stare at their study as if they were facing a great enemy?
Huang Chenghao was inexplicable, he couldn't help but ask, "Is there someone in the study?" ”
Zhang Bin didn't answer, but nodded solemnly, and then glanced at Zhang Cha and Zhao Ru next to him.
Zhang Cha and Zhao Ru stepped forward without hesitation and pushed open the door of the study.
It's dark in the study, and it doesn't look like there's anyone!
Huang Chenghao looked at Zhang Bin dumbfounded, and really didn't understand what he meant.
Zhang Bin snorted coldly, raised his feet and walked to the study, Zhang Cha, Zhao Ru, Wang Er, and Sun Biao looked nervous around him, as if there were ghosts in the study.
Huang Chenghao probably understood at this time, it is estimated that there are really "ghosts" in this study, he followed behind Zhang Bin tremblingly, and slowly walked into the study, his eyes were wide, for fear that someone would suddenly come out of the darkness and give him a knife.
Zhang Bin was actually very nervous at this time, he thought that if he scared the two black-clothed people casually, he would come out of the study and be caught by Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan who were guarding outside, but he never thought that these two guys were so calm, they brought people in, and they didn't run away!
Careless, careless, these two guys want to hide in the shadows and throw hidden weapons at themselves, it will be dangerous.
He forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and snorted coldly, "Light the lamp." ”
Zhang Cha is a master of the arts, he heard this, he did not hesitate to take out the fire fold, blew it, and then walked straight to the oil lamp on the desk.
At this time, the two black shadows hidden under the window edge next to the desk finally couldn't hold back, these black-clothed people were darker than them, their faces were black, Zhang Bin's black-faced one-eyed dragon image was even more terrifying, where did they dare to play any sneak attack, Zhang Cha didn't approach the desk, they quickly opened the window and turned out.
The result can be imagined, Li Dingguo, who had been waiting outside, flew up like lightning, and it was a sweeping leg, which directly swept the two of them into a rolling gourd, and then, more than ten black-clothed people swarmed up, tying them up in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Zhang Bin slowly walked to the window with Huang Chenghao, whose face was white, and said, "How about it, these two big fish are not bad, right?" ”
Huang Chenghao stammered: "Yes, yes, who is this?" ”
Zhang Bin made a look, and Li Dingguo immediately stepped forward and tore off the masked scarves on the faces of the two, but unfortunately, they were two ordinary faces that could no longer be ordinary, and they didn't know each other at all.
However, Zhang Bin did not show disappointment, but said proudly: "It depends on who you have offended recently, you, you provoked people who shouldn't be provoked are still so careless, these people are not only here for you this time, if they want to be angry and angry, put some medicine in your rice or tea, don't you die and don't know how to die." ”
When Huang Chenghao heard this, he couldn't help but say with a panicked face: "Wen Tiren! ”
Zhang Bin was nodding proudly and pretending to be forced, the two men in black suddenly glanced at each other, and then without hesitation, they lowered their heads and grabbed the buttons on their underwear and bit hard.
Oops, before Zhang Bin could stop it, the two of them were already hanging their heads and not moving.
Seeing this, Li Dingguo hurriedly went up and pinched their necks to probe their pulse, then shook his head and said, "All dead." ”
"Ahh Huang Chenghao exclaimed in fright, his face suddenly became like a blank piece of paper, although he had experienced the eunuch rebellion, and heard that countless loyal ministers would be tortured to death by Wei Zhongxian, but he had not seen it, and even, he had never even seen a dead person, and now, two people suddenly died in front of him, he was naturally frightened.
Zhang Bin was so angry that he gritted his teeth, at this time, he had already checked the situation of Wen Tiren's cronies, the reason why he chose to arrest these two people in front of Huang Chenghao was to give this credit to Huang Chenghao, let him "arrest" these two people, torture them, force out their accomplices, and then go to Chongzhen to complain, Chongzhen will definitely order the arrest of these people.
As long as Chongzhen makes a decree, he can secretly send someone to assist Luo Yangxing to wipe out these people, Wen Tiren secretly cultivates cronies, and the matter of spying on court officials everywhere will be exposed to Chongzhen, and at that time, Wen Tiren will be finished.
It's a pity that he thought things too simply, how could Wen Tiren be so careless and let him grab the handle, it seems that these people are dead soldiers, and it is useless to catch them!
Dead soldiers, he really didn't expect that it was rumored that Wei Zhongxian had raised a group of dead soldiers at the beginning, but he didn't expect that Wen Tiren's gang of people were also dead soldiers!
What to do?
He was thinking about countermeasures, Huang Chenghao suddenly trembled and said: "This, this, what should I do now, do you want to refer to Wen Tiren's book?" ”
Zhang Bin was stunned when he heard this, let Huang Chenghao hand over these two dead people to Chongzhen, definitely not, these days, it is too simple to find two dead people, take this to sue Wen Tiren, you don't need Wen Tiren to quibble, Chongzhen himself will not believe it.
He thought for a while, and simply waved his hand: "You go back to sleep, just act as if nothing happened, and I will secretly send someone to protect you here." ”
Where can Huang Chenghao still sleep at this time, but he doesn't want to face two dead people all the time, so he hurriedly arched his hand and staggered towards Xiao Taohong's bedroom.
At this time, Li Dingguo asked in a deep voice: "My lord, what should I do?" ”
Zhang Bin thought for a while, and then ordered: "You carry these two corpses to the mansion of the eldest princess of Ning'an and bury them, and then send someone to inform Ai Nengqi to continue to monitor and don't act rashly." ”
When Li Dingguo heard this, he bowed his hand and obeyed the order, and then waved his hand and walked away with his subordinates carrying the two corpses.
Zhang Bin looked at the dark night sky, sighed, and then raised his feet and walked into the darkness, slowly disappearing into the night.
Early the next morning, at the ugly hour, Wen Tiren had just gotten up and put on his court clothes, and an old man who looked like a housekeeper said loudly outside: "My lord, Qinglong asks to see you." ”
The nature of his cronies is not the same as that of Zhang Bin's guards, these people are specially for him to do dirty work, and they can't see the light at all, so they don't use their own names, but Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, etc. instead.
This Qinglong is the leader of his cronies, he came over so early, something big must have happened, Wen Tiren didn't care about what to eat early, he hurriedly rinsed his mouth, wiped his face indiscriminately, and then walked quickly to his study.
His study is a bit special, there is a small room next to it, usually the door is closed, and the lights have not been lit, and generally people are not allowed to go in to clean, it seems to be very mysterious.
After Wen Tiren walked into the study quickly, he pushed open the door next to him and walked into the small room, it was dark inside, and he couldn't see anything, but Wen Tiren didn't care, he just asked in the dark, "What's wrong?" ”
A voice replied in the darkness: "My lord, the person sent to Huang Chenghao's mansion did not return last night. ”
Wen Tiren frowned when he heard this, if he didn't come back, it means that something happened, unless these people died outside, it was impossible for them to stay outside for one night and not come back.
This Huang Chenghao doesn't seem to be simple, why didn't he find out the forces behind him after investigating for so long?
Wen Tiren pondered for a while, and then ordered: "Huang Chenghao don't send someone there for the time being, you should also be careful, it's best not to go out these days." ”
The man in the dark obeyed the order, and then there was no sound, Wen Tiren cleaned up his mood, slowly walked out of the study, and slowly walked towards the imperial city.
In the early dynasty, everything was still as usual, as if nothing had happened, but Huang Chenghao's face was faintly pale, while Wen Tiren's face was faintly a little blue.
