The Mansion of Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet of the Nanxunfang Cabinet in the capital, has not yet reached the ugly time, the mansion is already brightly lit, and generally at this time, only a few people will get up to serve Lord Shoufu to go to the early court, but on this day, almost the entire mansion has risen.

A team of guards were patrolling back and forth, shuttling through the corridors, everyone had panic on their faces, they didn't know what was going on, they only knew that the housekeeper was very angry at this time, and it was like having a sheep epilepsy when he caught someone and scolded whom, and Lord Shoufu seemed to be very unhappy.

Wen Tiren is not unhappy at this time, he is sitting in the study with a gloomy face and thinking about something, his eyes are cold for a while, dazed for a while, vicious for a while, and flustered for a while, just like a marquee, flickering.

At this time, a courtyard at the back of the mansion was also brightly lit, a team of Jinyi guards and Jingying Tun guards were shuttling back and forth in the courtyard with torches, I don't know what they were busy with, Jinyi Wei commanded Qi Panzong and Wang Jikui, the left of the Imperial Palace, stood motionless in the courtyard in the middle of the courtyard, as if they were analyzing the "case" and as if they were discussing countermeasures.

In fact, that's not what they were talking about.

Wang Jikui looked at the busy Jingying guards, and said with a little trepidation: "Lord Qi, how to deal with these family items, there are holes everywhere, people can see at a glance that this is shot by crossbow arrows." ”

Qi Panzong said lightly: "What crossbow arrows were shot, obviously they were damaged in the fight, it's useless, light a few fires, let's roast everyone, it's too cold this day." ”

Wang Jikui was stunned when he heard this, but then he gave a thumbs up and praised: "Good idea, you should really light a few fires and roast them on such a cold day." ”

After a while, a bonfire was lit in front of them, but it was a bit big, and there were a lot of tables, chairs, benches, and even bed boards, it was like burning a house!

Wang Jikui took advantage of the firelight to look at the bloodstains all over the ground, and couldn't help frowning: "What should I do with this bloodstain, I'm afraid I won't be able to wash it off if I wash it with water for a while and a half, right?" ”

Qi Panzong still said lightly: "First spread a layer of dry sand and sweep it, then sprinkle a layer of lime and sweep it, and finally sprinkle a layer of grass and wood ash to sweep it again." ”

Soon, Jinyiwei and Jingying Tunwei began to clean up the blood stains on the ground again, and they didn't look like they were handling a case at all, but like someone had come to wipe their butts.

The two groups of people were busy for about half an hour, and everything was almost processed, Wang Jikui looked at the sky, and then arched his hand and said: "Lord Qi, I am going to the early dynasty, if someone asks about this case, how should I say it?" ”

Qi Panzong thought about it, and said lightly: "Let's just say that it is a gang fight, these gangs are too rampant, they dare to run to the capital to fight, but they are clean when they die." ”

"Gang Rush!" When Wang Jikui heard this, he looked at the direction of Wen Tiren's mansion with some embarrassment, and said worriedly: "What if that person sues the emperor there?" ”

Qi Panzong snorted coldly: "If he has a kind, he will sue, I'm afraid he won't sue!" ”

Wen Tiren really didn't dare to tell him, this kind of thing, it was too late for him to hide it, if Chongzhen really ordered a thorough investigation, he would be dead!

He could only knock out his front teeth and swallow it in his stomach, as if nothing had happened, and ran to the morning court as usual, and when someone asked about it, he even said that he was asleep and didn't hear anything!

Of course, this is a rhetoric to outsiders, but he issued a serious warning to his own henchmen, warning those Wang Balambs, be honest during this time, don't abuse your power, don't be corrupt, and don't act recklessly, first pretend to be honest and honest, and show Chongzhen well, and wait for him to find the enemy hidden in the shadows.

At this time, the entire court suddenly changed, not to mention the sharp reduction in various expenditures, and the efficiency of work was surprisingly high, Chongzhen thought that under his hard governance, the government had finally improved, but Zhang Bin knew that this was Wen Tiren who was frightened and temporarily stopped, once this goods eased up, it would definitely be even crazier.

Zhang Bin did not slow down the pace of cleaning up Wen Tiren, but stepped up the investigation of Wang Yingxiong, he wanted to assist Huang Chenghao to pull Wang Yingxiong off the horse as soon as possible, first cut off Wen Tiren, the most powerful helper, put the officials under control, and then gradually clean up Wen Tiren's other henchmen.

It's a pity that at this time, although Wen Tiren's secret forces have been wiped out, the forces on the surface are still quite strong, the cabinet, the Ministry of Officials, and the Criminal Department are all under his control, and it is really difficult to clean up his right-hand man Wang Yingxiong.

Just when Zhang Bin was at a loss, Cao Juan, the head of the household department, actually ordered someone to send a post, saying that he had something to discuss.

This Cao Jian is a very good official, honest and honest, he is also quite cautious and cautious in doing things, and never participates in court battles, Zhang Bin's impression of him is still very good, coupled with Bi Ziyan's relationship, Zhang Bin is even more enthusiastic about him.

At three o'clock on this day, Zhang Bin specially held a banquet in the mansion to entertain Cao Jun, the secretary of the household department.

At the beginning, Cao Jian did not make his intentions clear, but chatted with Zhang Bin about the old Shangshu Bi Ziyan, and his words were full of reverence and remembrance, Zhang Bin was not in a hurry, he simply followed his topic and chatted with him, Bi Ziyan was also a person he respected, and the two chatted quite a deed.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Cao Jian suddenly said ashamedly: "Shuangquan, Lao Shangshu sent me a letter a few days ago, there is something you want me to help, I have been thinking about it for a few days, I really have no way, I am really ashamed!" ”

It turned out to be Lao Shangshu's self-strictness, so of course I don't have to say it, no matter what, I have to help with this favor.

Zhang Bin said without hesitation: "Master Cao, you also know that Lao Shangshu treats me like a nephew in his later life, if there is anything, you can say that what I can do is absolutely unambiguous." ”

Cao Jian was embarrassed: "If you want to be the governor of the five provinces, you should be able to handle this matter easily, but at this time, the emperor has removed the governor of the five provinces, and it will be difficult for you to do this, alas, I am also forced to have no way, otherwise, I really don't want to embarrass you." ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he couldn't help urging: "Lord Cao, what the hell is going on, you are like this, it is even more difficult for me!" ”

Seeing this, Cao Jian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Alas, this thing is really difficult to do, when Lao Shangshu was demoted to Jinling by Wei Gelding to serve as the head of the household department in the southern capital, Ni Sihui, the left attendant of the household department, was quite upright and respectful to the old Shangshu. To the Chongzhen Dynasty, the old Shangshu went out of the mountain again, but Ni Sihui had no intention of career, retired at home, never thought, disaster fell from the sky, when the dynasty university scholar department Shangshu Wang Yingxiong's brother Wang Yingxi and Ni Sihui's son Ni Tianhe should compete for land and property conflicted, Sichuan governor Wang Weizhang bent the law for personal gain, helped Wang Yingxi, falsely accused Ni Tianhe of taking people's property, and Ni Tianhe's family was all arrested in prison, and confiscated his family property, and Wang Yingxi divided and swallowed it, Ni Sihui's wife died of anger. Poor Ni Sihui has been honest and upright all her life, and when she is old, she has a wife who is separated, and her family is ruined! Ni Sihui is lonely, living in a broken temple, miserable, Lao Shangshu cried when he heard it, and wrote a close-up letter asking me to uphold justice for Ni Sihui, alas, I am soft-spoken, how can I fight the powerful Wen Tiren and Wang Yingxiong, Shuangquan, I am ashamed, I can't help Lao Shangshu, I am ashamed of Lao Shangshu! ”

As he spoke, he was in tears, and he couldn't help himself.

When Zhang Bin heard this, he was furious and said: "How can this be reasonable, dare to be so lawless, is Wang Weizhang Wen Tiren Wang Yingxiong's party?" ”

When Cao Jian heard this, he nodded tearfully and said: "Yes, at the beginning, Wang Weizhang was the governor of Xining, and he was experiencing a great drought, not only did he not organize disaster relief, but also expropriated and extorted, so that the people changed one after another, and Cao Yubian, the imperial history of the left capital, immediately dismissed him and investigated it, but after Lord Cao was dismissed, Wang Yingxiong and Tang Shiji, the left capital of the imperial history, and the right deputy capital of the imperial history Zhang Jie jointly spoke, and enabled Wang Weizhang to be the right capital of the imperial history, governor of Sichuan, Wang Weizhang has since become Wang Yingxiong's private party, helping his family to collect money in Bazhong and annex the fields, Ni Tianhe's matter is just one of them, Wang Weizhang doesn't know how many people's property he has taken from Wang Yingxi, Wang Yingxi has become a tyrant in Bazhong at this time. ”

Dogs, do you really think that no one will cure you, I am worried that I can't find your handle!

Zhang Bin nodded coldly and said, "Okay, Master Cao, I know, leave this matter to me, I will definitely find a way to give Ni Sihui justice." ”

Cao Jian was moved: "Shuangquan, if it really doesn't work, forget it, I also know that this matter is very difficult to do, Wen Tiren and Wang Yingxiong are powerful at this time, don't conflict with them for this matter, if something happens to you, I will be even more shameless to face Lao Shangshu." ”

Zhang Bin said righteously: "Wen Tiren, Wang Yingxiong and others, abuse their power, misconduct, lawlessness, and let them continue like this, the Ming Dynasty will be harmed by them, this is no longer a matter of personal life and death, even if they are powerful, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of the people of the world, I have no hesitation!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Jian slowly stood up, respectfully reasoned with him, and then said solemnly: "Shuangquan, if there is a place where I can be useful in the future, even if I speak, I will not hesitate." ”

There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.

Zhang Bin really didn't expect that just when he was at a loss, Cao Jian not only took the initiative to send him the evidence of cleaning up Wang Yingxiong's crimes, but also fell to his camp because of this, and he would kill himself if he committed more injustice.

That night, he sneaked into Huang Chenghao's mansion with a team of personal guards, but this time he didn't smear his face black, because Huang Chenghao's transformation He knew quite well that this person was no longer the original treacherous villain, on the contrary, he had changed his ways and become a righteous minister, and it would be boring to hide it in front of him.

Huang Chenghao had just warmed up at this time and was about to fall asleep, when a man in black suddenly entered through the window, stood beside the bed and said softly: "Lord Huang, we adults invite you to the study for a while." ”

This one-eyed dragon is really good at picking the time, he rolled his eyes helplessly, and patted the little peach on the side who was also rolling his eyes, then got up and put on his clothes randomly, and then followed the man in black to the study.

At this time, Zhang Bin had already lit the oil lamp inside, sat on the main seat with a big smile, and waited for Huang Chenghao to come to discuss.

Huang Chenghao didn't say anything when he came in and saw that his seat was occupied, he walked straight to the guest seat in front of the desk and sat down, and then said with interest: "This military master, I don't know what is going on here so late, won't there be another big gift?" ”

Zhang Bin nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, the official does prepare a big gift, but I don't know if Lord Huang will accept it." ”

This officer? Why is this voice so familiar, Huang Chenghao couldn't help but take a closer look at Zhang Bin when he heard this, the one-eyed dragon's blindfold was still there, but his face was no longer black, but white as jade, gentle and abnormal.

This, this face, where has he definitely ever seen!

He couldn't help but be surprised: "You, your face, it turns out that you are not a black-faced Guan Gong!" Also, what does this official mean, have you been promoted? ”

Seeing that he hadn't recognized him yet, Zhang Bin couldn't help joking: "Yes, I was promoted, and I was promoted to a prince and young master from the first rank." ”

From the young master of the prince of a product? You're a ruffian!

Huang Chenghao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The military master is joking, if you want to be promoted, you will also be promoted to the right governor of the first grade." ”

Zhang Bin continued to joke: "Who told you that I am a martial artist, I am originally a civil official." ”

When Huang Chenghao heard this, he was stunned and said, "You are a civil official!" ”

What are you kidding, is there such a rude civil official as you?

Zhang Bin slowly took off the blindfold and said with a faint smile: "What's the matter, can't I be a civil official?" ”

"Master Zhang!" Huang Chenghao jumped up from the chair in shock, glared at him and exclaimed, "You, you, you are really a one-eyed dragon?" ”

Zhang Bin shook his head and smiled: "I'm not a one-eyed dragon, it's just that at that time, it was inconvenient for me to show my true face, so I found an eye patch and put it on randomly, which made Lord Huang smile." ”

Huang Chenghao still said in disbelief: "Lord Zhang, is it really you?" ”

Zhang Bin nodded and said, "Of course it's me, you don't want to think about it, besides me, who else can save your family from Jiannu's hands." ”

Huang Chenghao thought about it carefully, it was true, Zhang Bin was commanding the army to fight against Jiannu at that time, it was most reasonable for him to save his family members from Jiannu, what Yuan Chonghuan, that was a joke, at that time Yuan Chonghuan was staying in the edict of Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town.

Zhang Bin talked about his family, and Huang Chenghao no longer doubted it, because except for him and Zhang Bin's gang, no one else knew about it, and even his own family didn't know who rescued them.

The "soldier ruffian" who has been blackmailing him turned out to be the young master of the crown prince of the dynasty, the right capital of the Imperial Palace, and Zhang Bin, the secretary of the Zhan Mansion and the secretary of the military department!

This incident really thundered him, and he was stunned for a long time before he asked curiously: "Master Zhang, I don't know what is the matter with finding the next official?" ”

Zhang Bin continued to smile and said: "I said that I will give you a big gift, but I don't know if you can accept this big gift." ”

Huang Chenghao was curious: "What kind of gift?" ”

Zhang Bin said lightly: "Cabinet scholar, the secretary of the ministry Wang Yingxiong!" ”
