The newsboy carrying the newspaper basket shouted loudly against the morning sun.

"Extra! Extra! Today's national abbot and cabinet scholar are the behind-the-scenes umbrella of the new Zheng dog official!"

"Chen Zanzhong, a scholar of the Imperial Palace, resigned, and issued a guilty move! Apologize to the world!"

"Righteous annihilation! The regent ordered Chen Zanzhong to be sent to Heilongjiang according to the law!"

Originally, the hearts of the whole empire were hanging on this Zhengcheng County, and it became the key to the confrontation between the old and new forces, but I never expected that at this critical moment, Mao Jue's own camp actually dropped the chain first, and the situation became simply twists and turns.

The newsboy has already become a big scene in Beijing, not to mention that this news is still so vigorous, in the morning, the newspaper is almost crazy, no matter how many big characters you know, the stall owner wearing oily robes, the worker in canvas clothes, and the small boss with a bag, all of them are scrambling to squeeze forward, and the copper money is stuffed into it.

Not to mention that everything that happened is closely related, now whoever doesn't talk about two major court events will be embarrassed to go out, and the difference between the Beijing masters and the outsiders is that they know the fastest imperial news, and they don't want people to be hillbillies, who dares not to buy it?

It's really like grabbing that, but in the crowd of a group of small citizens with cigarettes, a scholar was stunned that his head was sharpened, and he plunged into the crowd, and he grabbed a crumpled newspaper without paying the money, looking at the decadent appearance of Chen Zanzhong sketched by the reporter with charcoal, and at the moment when he half-bowed and admitted his mistake, the scholar was simply happy, and laughed excitedly.

"Hahaha, the hairy dog thief, you also have today, lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot, hahahaha!"

didn't make the scholar smile thoroughly, but the next few words made his smile freeze on his face.

At the end of this news, in an inconspicuous position, it was written clearly in black and white, and Chen Zanzhong confessed that it was a bribe from Zheng Xi, a member of the Hanlin Academy, who was awarded in the same year, and this was the exception of these people in Zhengcheng County.

Politics is never a matter of gaining or losing one city or one place!

Mao Jue asked Chen Jiao to deal with the Chen family's affairs, which is equivalent to letting the Chen family go in this matter, which is simply a grace! You must know that in all dynasties, which powerful figure would tolerate his relatives falling to the side of political enemies?

Chen Jiao also had to respond to Mao Jue's tolerance, so poor Chen Zanzhong had to completely slap his old face on the ground in the cry of his children and grandchildren to destroy the family, and according to Chen Jiao's request, he added fuel and vinegar to explain how Zheng Xi bribed himself and how he conspired to help several people to the top in the newspaper.

Who is Zheng Bin? Chunfang's first lecture, the teacher of the enlightened emperor, is also one of the leaders of the old school of Jingshi! It seems that Mao Jue's father-in-law has lost his face, and the Dongjiang political group has suffered a big loss, but in fact, this fire burned from Zhengcheng County was finally led to Emperor Kaiming himself!

However, the newspaper can be regarded as bragging, saying that Zheng Xi was arrested and imprisoned, but in fact, when the newspaper was published, he was still shaking his head and talking about the Avenue of Sages in Chunfang.

Heavy footsteps suddenly broke the silence of the court, and like all the villains, Song Xiance walked in with his huge funny head shaking in the midst of a large number of "doglegs" with flintlock pistols and a warrant from the regent.

The little eunuchs who were waiting in the East Palace, the palace daughters were immediately frightened, but there were two die-hard eunuchs who stopped in front of the palace tremblingly, and shouted loudly with insufficient confidence: "In front of Your Majesty, you must not be presumptuous!"

Ignoring the eunuch at all, just like an authentic villain in a TV series, Song Xiance shook his hand in a big way, and shouted triumphantly.

"Master Zheng Xi, Master Zheng, the Criminal Department suspects that you have a major connection with the case of abuse of the people and fraud in Zhengcheng County, please come with us!"

However, Zheng Xi and Zhu Cihong seemed quite calm, maybe when the prisoners were escorted to Beijing, they had already expected this, and like those positive characters and loyal ministers in the TV series, there was no Song Advice at all, Zheng Xi still shook his head and talked about Confucianism to Emperor Kaiming, until the end of the lecture, he bowed heavily to Zhu Cihong.

"The old minister can accompany His Majesty, that's all there is to it, the old minister is gone, I hope Your Majesty will take care more!"

After all, it is a teacher who gets along day and night and gives himself ideas, even if he has always been cold-blooded royal genes, Zhu Cihong couldn't help but have his pupils slightly warm, but he didn't answer, just looked down at his scroll.

Now in the face of Mao Jue's offensive, all he needs to do is to do his best to hibernate and not give Mao Jue an excuse to abolish him, as long as he is still in this position, it is possible, there is a chance! So he must from now on to make a clear connection with Zheng Xi, a dead man who has fallen in.

Song Xiance, who watched the scene of the monarch and the minister's death, couldn't help but sneer, and looked at Zheng Xi walking over to him with arrogance, he didn't say a word, and walked over to the palace first.

Originally, I wanted to throw down the Dongjiang soldiers who pushed him very positively, and I can go by myself with a positive character, who knows if these Dongjiang group performances are not paid enough or are in an emotional situation with the director, they are actually so stupid pillars, holding a gun and standing behind Zheng Bin, not even urging him, looking back awkwardly, Zheng Xi shook his head a little aggrieved.

A carriage, supported by the troops, rushed out of the East Palace, and this royalist veteran was dragged into the whirlpool of power struggle.

…………

At the end of the Apocalypse, there was the case of the Six Gentlemen of Donglin, at that time, as a political enemy, Wei Zhongxian threw Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Gu Dazhang and other six Donglin Qingliu into the Jinyiwei prison, and the six gentlemen were loyal and unyielding, as well as the cruelty and inhumanity of Jinyiwei's torture.

Zheng Xi is a ruthless character, in history, he was framed and imprisoned because of his opposition to the Shoufu University scholar Wen Tiren 500, and he died with a thousand cuts, but in this time and space, Wen Tiren fell faster, and he also escaped with his life, so he had the life to fight against Mao Jue and was imprisoned, Zheng Xi had this kind of mental awareness of torture, followed the carriage out of the palace, and got off at the old brocade guard yamen at Pishikou, he also loosened the collar of his shirt in a big way, and snorted coldly and said: "Chaotic ministers and thieves, what means do you have, just greet the old man!" ”

"Less nonsense, go in, and follow the registration to arrange a detention room for you first! After a while, Lord Shen Rui, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, will come to interrogate in person, and there will be reporters from the Imperial Capital Daily to interview, remember, confess leniently, resist strictly!"

can be regarded as a little ruthless, the iron gate in the middle of the cement courtyard wall in front of him was opened, and the two guards of the detention center pushed Zheng Xin in, staggered a step, raised his head, and did not see the low and cold Jinyi guard prison in his imagination, but a square and clean three-story building met Zheng Bin's eyes.

This is the prison of Mao Jue's era, a room smeared with 100 lime and snow-white, windows with iron railings, iron shelves, beds, and a large wooden table against the window, the whole room is about square meters, and Zheng Xi's own home is definitely not comparable, but compared to the edict prison he lived in when he was imprisoned by Chongzhen before, that is the difference between heaven and earth.

Don't say it, this old guy is hypocritical enough, he is not satisfied with this, the old face is raised high, he is angry and shouting: "Don't think you can buy the old man, the old man will never bow to you rebellious ministers and thieves, hurry up and put the old man in prison, don't get these useless!"

"Hey, you old man has a sick head, right? Where are so many picks? Hurry in, notify the family members to come and deliver the bedding in a while, and then go downstairs for arraignment! ”

With a bang, the big iron door was closed, and it was immediately locked, looking at the detention center officer who was swaggering and carrying the key downstairs, Zheng Xi was a little aggrieved.

This is not a big punishment, how can he show his old man's unyielding loyalty, how can he leave a name for eternity?

………

Not to mention, it's really not Mao Jue who takes care of him alone, there are also a few officials locked up in the left and right prisons, everyone is a treatment, after a while, Zheng Xi's family really sent a few changes of clothes and bedding over, and actually sent a few books by the way, except for the iron windows are a little eye-catching, the comfort is almost the same as at home, I really don't know if it's the common disease of the Daming doctor, cheap skin! This comfortable environment made Zheng Xi feel aggrieved.

Also, after waiting in the cell for more than half an hour, the interrogators were in place, and like the fighting chickens in the rooster, Zheng Xi followed downstairs with a fierce attitude.

But this Mao Jue Dynasty is too weird! The accustomed yamen hall, there is no here, a room is divided into two sides by an iron railing, he sits on a stool inside, and there are three Dongjiang officials sitting outside with big eyes, he doesn't know these people, he shouldn't be a big man, the only thing here that can make him care about it is only Princess Changping who holds a small book.

This environment is not friendly, the problem is that as soon as the iron railing is closed, the big iron door behind him is locked, what are you going to use as a torture tool? This simple interrogation room made Old Master Zheng, who was prepared for a stomach full of torture, feel like a fist on cotton, very uncomfortable.

"The criminal suspect Zheng Bin, this official is Shen Rui, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who is specially responsible for trying the case of your gang and fraud, and you have to answer truthfully if you ask you anything in a while! Don't hide it in the slightest, or we won't be able to help you!"

"Help me?"

The old stubborn old man Zheng immediately snorted disdainfully.

It's really a businesslike attitude, and he didn't even look at him, Shen Rui took out a small notebook and asked mechanically: "Who instructed you to bribe and win over Lord Chen in the cabinet and seek fraud for Meng Qiwen, the county commander of Zhengcheng County?" ”

"Nobody! It's all the old man's doing!"

"There is really no one, you are just a small official and a gentleman, there is no backstage, can you handle such a big case? Isn't it ......"

The tentative question made Zheng Xi angry, and he stood up violently while patting the armrest of the chair.

"It's the old man who did it alone! You don't want to use the old man to frame others again!"

He was full of momentum, but what made him indignant was that the three inquisitors didn't even answer a word, but they just lowered their heads and recorded what they had just said, which made him want to quarrel with someone, but he couldn't make it, and it was uncomfortable like the second punch had hit a stone.

"The second question, Zhengcheng County was corrupt and corrupted, collected the people's fat and people's ointment, and successively handed over 40,000 taels to Jingshi, who did you transfer all this dirty silver to?"

"Spent!"

"It really didn't turn it on to anyone behind you?"

The problem that made Zheng Xi angry came again, and he slapped the arm of the chair again and roared.

"It's the old man alone, what's coming to the old man, don't want to implicate others through the old man!"

The three inquisitors still didn't get angry, and they still recorded the things, which made Zheng Lao Pifu even more depressed.

In addition to asking him if he had a backstage in every sentence, the three of them asked some regular questions, and there was nothing else, and in less than half an hour, when Zheng Xi was still unsatisfied, the three bastards actually packed up their things and got off work, on this end they were discussing where to go for lunch for a while, and on the other end someone opened the door of the iron railing to let him out, full of astonishment, Zheng Xi was lying on the iron railing and shouting behind his back.

"Hey! That's it? Don't you ask the old man about rebellion or something? ”

The three guys didn't have a single case for him, but the editor-in-chief of the Imperial Capital Daily, Ping, turned around and smiled.

"Don't worry, Lord Zheng, our Imperial Capital Daily, the media supervises the government, there is absolutely one thing to say, there is two to say, and they will not let them wronged you a little, rest assured!"

Watching Changping chuckle and go out with the press release in his hand, and finally gave himself a flying eye, Zheng Xi's heart was like fifteen buckets of water, up and down.
