Chunmingfang, Wang's main hall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wang Qiong's eyes were slightly closed, and he sat on the official hat chair at the top, and the old steward who was reporting the news to him stood below.

"------ at this moment, Lord Futai has already returned to the Ya, thinking that he is already guarding the trial of Liu, as for the envoy of the inspector------ I am afraid that he will come over soon to pass the eldest young master to the court------ master, you can quickly get an idea, it will be too late if it is too late!"

The old housekeeper looked anxious, but Wang Qiong still didn't open her eyes, and still sat there pretending to sleep.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, picked up the teacup on the table next to him, and silently took a sip of tea.

Then, he held the cup in front of him in his left hand and said thoughtfully: "Sun Xu has long been dissatisfied with the officialdom atmosphere here of us, and he has the intention to rectify it, and I also know this." But I never thought that what he wanted was not small! This time, he took the opportunity to make trouble, and it seems that he regarded my Wang Qiong as a cancer in the Henan officialdom, and he wanted to get rid of it quickly------"

In fact, what the dynasty did in Kaifeng was little known to Wang Qiong, who was far away in Shangqiu. Especially for some fatal things, Wang Chaoli will deliberately hide it from him, and he doesn't dare to let him know about such bold things as colluding with Liu Lang and intercepting the money for the treatment of the river.

Therefore, Wang Qiong only thinks that he, like many gentlemen, will at most rely on his identity to bully and bully people in Kaifeng Mansion on weekdays.

After he sighed to himself, he turned around and said, "Sun Buyuan, Sun Buyuan, since you are determined to go against me Wang Qiong, don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

At this moment, Wang Qiong has already thought of a way to deal with it, once Sun Xu is pressed too hard, he will not hesitate to make a move and collude with Liu Lang to deal with Sun Xu.

Previously, he had already received the words that Liu Langtuo had brought him out of prison, which was nothing more than asking for help from himself.

Although Wang Qiong is good at befriending all forces, he doesn't like eunuchs like Liu Lang very much, strictly speaking, he should look down on the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty ------, and they will more or less look down on eunuchs.

The scholars despised these eunuchs who were missing a part of their bodies, and when they got closer, they could smell a smell of urine, and they could not be called men's eunuchs.

In addition, the inherent conflict of interest between the two groups is also the reason why civil officials dislike eunuchs.

But now is not the time to think about this, Sun Xu has already taken the lead in this case, but he still doesn't realize it------ if the matter is really irreparable and his son can't be fished out, Wang Qiong not only has to collude with Liu Lang to impeach Sun Xu, but also to launch Henan officialdom, and even unite all parties to carry out a counteroffensive.

What if Sun needs to be a governor?

As long as the interests of all parties are touched, the governor must step down!

"Prepare the car, first go to the political envoy's yamen." Wang Qiong gave the old butler a command, then got up and walked straight to the door.

"The big young master------

"That bastard thing, let him go to the hall first and suffer a little!" Wang Qiong didn't look back, and coldly interrupted the old steward's words.

Aside from last night's arrest, Lu Cheng didn't know much about what happened in Fucheng this morning, and how the people from all sides reacted to it, because he was giving a lecture to his disciples in his small private school at the moment.

In fact, Lu Cheng's case was the main cause of this incident, and he also became the fuse for the imminent conflict between the parties. But now it is the bigwigs of all parties who are playing, to be precise, Sun Xu and Wang Qiong are ready to wrestle their wrists and compete head-on.

Those high-minded and far-sighted officials and gentlemen, except for Wang Qiong, there are actually few people who have the heart to deal with Lu Cheng. The real contradiction lies not in him, but in the interests of all forces.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

The current Kaifeng Mansion, especially in the city of Xiangfu County, has long been full of treacherous clouds and surging undercurrents, and the officials stationed in the nearby states and counties have rushed to the city.

Xiangfu County is the provincial capital, and all forces will have special personnel here to investigate and spread the news in Kaifeng City.

Therefore, those Taoist officials who were stationed in other prefectures and far away from Kaifeng, although they had not yet learned about the major events that had happened in Kaifeng Mansion at this time, the person who delivered the letter was already on the way.

This turmoil is just about to blow, but it is already faintly developing towards an increasingly violent trend, and it is likely to form a tornado that will sweep the entire Henan------ causing a major earthquake in the entire Henan officialdom.

However, this state was quickly broken, because Zhang Zijun came to the door!

Zi said: Learn and learn from time to time, don't you also say? Have friends come from afar, are you happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, and they are not gentlemen------"

"Zeng Zi said, I am three times a day, I am not loyal? Making friends and not believing them? I can't get used to it------"

The sound of books in the study was loud, and the small courtyard outside the study was tense, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

At this moment, Zhang Zijun looked at Lu Cheng with a pair of smart and wonderful eyes, without blinking. Lu Cheng made her feel weak for a while, and she had the heart to explain a few sentences, but she didn't know where to start.

Between Lu Cheng and her, they have long since lost their initial state, but are standing on completely opposite positions.

Now the two are no longer friends, and Lu Cheng and the Zhang family have formed an indissolvable hatred. Since Zhang Chengzhi was imprisoned, he has never even seen Zhang Zijun.

"Lu Cheng!"

A coquettish shout interrupted the reading of the disciples in the study, and many students turned their heads curiously to look out the door, but they couldn't see anything.

"Why? You tell me, why do you want to hurt my father, why do you want to hurt my Zhang family?!! ”

“------”

Facing Zhang Zijun's voice and questioning, Lu Cheng didn't know how to answer, so he could only be silent. At this moment, he even wondered in his heart, did he go too far?

But soon, he dismissed such an idea.

What if you are repeatedly assassinated, and if someone else stands on your own side?

Compassionate, kind-hearted to spare your opponent, and finally let yourself die at the hands of the Assassin's sword?

Compassion may really move the world, but it takes real compassion and a very long process, plus incomparable luck.

Otherwise, my life will be gone, what kind of probation will I talk about?

To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself.

Lu Cheng never thought about what kind of bodhisattva he wanted to be with great compassion and help the suffering. Because he knew very well in his heart that he was just an ordinary man after all, and the quickest and most effective way to solve the problem was to kill the opponent.

It can be a humane destruction, which can make him truly surrender, or it can be the destruction of the strength he has. Only by strangling all dangers in the cradle can you save your life!

If you do something wrong, you will be punished, and if you easily escape the punishment of the law, the cost of such a crime is too low, and the wicked will not wake up laughing in their dreams?

So, when the cost of bad people doing bad things is reduced, and when bad people no longer have to pay too high a price for murder, what should innocent good people do?

Everyone understands the truth, but when it comes to themselves, people will always be selfish, and then subconsciously protect their relatives.

"Let's talk in another place, they still have to study."

Lu Cheng said lightly, then turned around and walked to the door of the study, and after instructing the disciples to study hard, he walked straight to the west wing of the gate.

The door closed, but neither of them spoke, and the room fell into a long silence.

"Alas------"

Lu Cheng sighed lightly and took the lead in speaking: "Say whatever you want, it's up to you to beat or scold, but I can say it first, I am absolutely not allowed to slap my face, otherwise I will turn my face------"

Bang------

Without warning, a punch swung towards Lu Cheng's face, so frightened that he sat on the ground with his ass, and he could be regarded as able to avoid this fatal blow to ------the face.

"What are you doing? I said that I can't slap my face------" Lu Cheng scolded slightly angrily, and before he finished speaking, Zhang Zijun swung another punch.

This time, the target was his right eye.

Bang------

When Lu Cheng was speaking, he had already put his hands in front of his face in advance, and Zhang Zijun came first, but he was still a step late and hit his wrist again.

But despite this, Lu Cheng was still grinning in pain, and the bones in his wrists seemed to have been cracked, and there were bursts of heart-piercing pain.

"You ------ you crazy woman, you have to eat the board if you beat Xiucai------"

Bang------

This time, Zhang Zijun kicked him directly in the chest, kicked him to the ground, covered his chest and screamed, but still raised one arm to protect his face tightly------

Bang------

Bang------

Bang------

There was a dull sound of objects crashing, and the sound insulation of the door was not very good, but fortunately, the sound of the disciples was covered by the sound of Lang Lang's writing, and no one noticed anything unusual for a while.

After a while, silence returned to the west wing.

In the room, Zhang Zijun looked at Lu Cheng with tears in his eyes, and choked up: "Lu Cheng, I hate you, you are ungrateful, you villain who will take revenge, I, Zhang Zijun, broke off with you today------"

When Zhang Zijun said this, he didn't know when there was an extra hairpin in his hand, which was the cheap wooden hairpin that Lu Cheng gave her during the Yuan Festival.

"There are such hairpins!"

She broke the hairpin with a "click", threw it on Lu Cheng's chest, then turned around and opened the door, and walked out quickly.

Lu Cheng looked at her departing back, and his heart was also mixed, and he didn't know what kind of taste, so he could only sigh softly: "Actually, Old Pavilion Master Zhang will be fine------

“------”

Zhang Zijun just stagnated, and then accelerated his pace and left.

was beaten for no reason, and when Lu Cheng saw her leave, he hurriedly rolled up the sleeves of his robe and checked the injury on his arm.

I saw two white arms, which were now full of bruises, and they were black purple. Seeing this tragic situation, Lu Cheng subconsciously touched his face, and was afraid for a while.

"It's okay, it's okay, the face is fine------"

Muttering to himself, Lu Cheng leaned over to pick up the two hairpins that fell to the ground, and couldn't help but smile bitterly again.

In fact, he didn't know that Zhang Zijun couldn't bear to be heavy on himself. Otherwise, it's impossible to keep a few bones.

However, Lu Cheng was also telling the truth, from Sun Xu's attitude towards this matter, he had already faintly sensed that the other party was going to deal with Wang Qiong and Liu Lang.

In other words, as long as Sun Xu didn't want to investigate this matter deeply, Zhang He, the briber, could have resorted to various methods to avoid this catastrophe.

In "Da Ming Law", there is such a paragraph that "its officials kick and force those who take money, and those who pay do not sit".

Things in officialdom have always been like this, as long as Zhang He insists that he was coerced by Liu Lang and forced to bribe because of the power of the other party, the government will not punish him------ of course, spending money to eliminate disasters should be inevitable.

And Liu Lang and Liu Zhenshou, who took bribes, would not be let go so easily. Receiving such a large amount of money, even in the current Hongzhi period, it is difficult to escape death.

It can be seen that Liu Lang can't change his fate whether he bites Zhang He or not. After all, Zhang He didn't offend him, and it was also a meaningless thing to pull a person who had no grudges and no grudges with him into the water before he died.

Therefore, Lu Cheng concluded that Zhang He would be fine.

However, in order to prevent accidents, Lu Cheng still asked Zuo Guoji to send him news from the city every day, and he still had to rescue him when necessary.

After putting away the two hairpins, Lu Cheng walked to the east wing, and his class was not finished.

Since ancient times, the relationship between the court officials and the second officials has not been too harmonious, and there will always be some disagreements between them.

Wang Qiong, the right-hand political envoy of the powerful side, and the left-handed political envoy of Henan, who is in great power, often compete with each other.

But it was all a trivial matter, and the fight between the two was not sharp, and they did not fight too much anger.

Li Jin, the political envoy, is a smart man, he knows that he is inferior to Wang Qiong in terms of power and means, so he will occasionally compromise with the other party appropriately, so as to have the current harmonious situation on the surface.

has been an official for half his life, so he naturally understands the truth of taoguang and obscurity, and avoids its edge. For him, the most important thing is to go on a stable career, what can be counted as a temporary gain or loss?

Therefore, he had already calculated how to stand in line in his heart.

Wang Qiong has the highest prestige in the officialdom, and now he represents the entire Henan officialdom, how can Li Jin not stand on his side?

After happily sending Wang Qiong away, Li Jin returned to the second hall, sat on the Taishi chair and calculated and weighed again, before he was completely relieved.

In his opinion, how can Sun need one person and one mouth, how can he withstand the verbal criticism of the entire Henan high-ranking officials?

Before the war started, Li Jin had already calculated, and Sun Xu was bound to lose this time.

At this moment, a messenger came over to report: "Master, the Liang sub-patrol Dao King observes, the Liang soldiers prepare for Lord Liu, the same Zhihe Lord, Zhengzhou Zhizhou Lord Shen ------"

A series of large and small officials read out from his mouth, Li Jin felt tired and panicked just by listening to it, and hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt: "It's done, don't let you adults wait outside, please come in quickly." ”

"Yes."
