Hot Springs knew that the most important thing about whether this plan could succeed was the status of the treasure of the Rain Spirit Heavenly Master in the emperor's mind. However, he knew that the emperor had been taking the golden pill provided by the two masters and apprentices of the rain spirit heavenly master, and the emperor was full of praise for this golden pill. Since the Rain Spirit Heavenly Master said that this is a treasure that multiplies the utility of the golden pill, it will definitely be able to get the emperor's attention. Next, it is necessary to how to frame Tang Zhicong. Of course, I am an expert in this area, and I have already thought about what to do as soon as my eyes roll.

When he liked it, Hot Spring followed the indignant support of Zuo Jiayin to sue the emperor, and patted his chest and said that he would go to the emperor as a witness with her, and he must ask the emperor to punish him severely for daring to rob the tribute and assassinate the heavenly master.

Zuo Jiayin took out the sketch and asked the hot spring to immediately let the craftsman make it according to the drawing. The craftsmen in the hot spring mansion were much more clever than Zuo Jiayin's family, and soon made a set of smoking utensils.

This effort, Hot Springs has made detailed arrangements for how to frame Tang Zhicong, the collusion of confessions, the forgery of forgery, and after the smoking set is made, send someone to take the corpses and weapons of the killed Tang Zhicone henchmen, and follow Zuo Jiayin into the palace to face the saint.

Of course, Meng Tianchu sat in the hot spring mansion and waited for news.

Late at night, Zuo Jiayin's sedan chair finally returned.

Meng Tianchu had been waiting at the gate, and when he saw Zuo Jiayin's smiling appearance, he put down a stone in his heart, shouted happily, and ran over to hug her. I picked it up and turned around, then I put it down and asked, "It's done, right?" ”

"Hmmm! The emperor was furious and had already ordered Tang Zhicone to be sent to prison. Handed over to the public for interrogation. Gonggong Wen is now arresting Tang Zhicon's comrades in the whole city and conducting an overnight surprise trial. ”

"Great!" Meng Tianchu hugged Zuo Jiayin and turned around again, and kissed her tender face.

Zuo Jiayin blushed and said angrily: "What are you doing!" There's someone next to you! ”

Meng Tianchu took her hand and jumped all the way back to the small courtyard of her residence like a child.

After arriving at the residence, Zuo Jiayin told the story in detail, it turned out that after they entered the palace, Zuo Jiayin reported that Jindan refining had made a qualitative leap. Emperor Jiajing was overjoyed and hurriedly asked what was going on. Zuo Jiayin took out the cigarette gun and told the emperor that this thing could greatly increase the effectiveness of Jindan, and the emperor would try it immediately. Zuo Jiayin also said that there must be some kind of processing on Jindan.

At that moment, Zuo Jiayin loved that Jin Dan (raw opium pill with aphrodisiac substance) made cooked opium, and then followed the method taught by Meng Tianchu. instructed the emperor to use a smoking device. Because the emperor used to swallow raw opium, but now he uses a smoking appliance to smoke cooked opium, and the effect is simply one in the sky and one on the earth. The feeling of fluttering immortal made him feel excited, and the emperor did not smoke opium for a long time. I have not yet realized the great harm of opium to the body, and at that time opium was very rare, and few people knew about it, and it was even more impossible to know that opium was actually harmful to people. Therefore, the emperor originally regarded the opium paid tribute by Zuo Jiayin's master and apprentice as a treasure, and now Zuo Jiayin's refining of this smoking gun and the technology of making raw opium into mature opium have made the efficacy of this treasure of Jindan in the emperor's eyes substantially improved, how can Emperor Jiajing not be ecstatic.

Taking advantage of this, Zuo Jiayin said that he was attacked by robbers on the road, thanks to the hot springs who got the news in advance and sent someone to rescue him. Hearing this, the emperor was already angry, and asked the hot springs to pass by, and the hot springs said that he had already received a report that Tang Zhicone was not conducive to the rain spirit heavenly master, so he sent someone to secretly protect him, and showed the corpses and weapons of Tang Zhicone's men who were killed. Emperor Jiajing was furious, after all, Tang Zhicone was also his trusted minister. Furious, he decided to get things straight.

As a result, Emperor Jiajing immediately sent Tang Zhicone to ask whether he had sent someone to assassinate Zuo Jiayin and others, and whether these people had been killed by the people sent by Hot Springs.

Since Tang Zhicone didn't know about Hot Spring and Zuo Jiayin, the two of them had already made a ghost and framed him. The true and the false are mixed together, and an important plot that is enough to make him unlucky has been added, and he thought it was just a matter of the previous two fighting openly and secretly. Since the corpse and physical evidence are in front of him, and it is not the first time that the two have fought openly and secretly, the emperor has always turned a blind eye, and thought that this time would be the same, so he arrogantly admitted that he sent someone to intercept and kill Zuo Jiayin and others, and was robbed and killed by the hot springs.

Tang Zhicone actually hijacked the tribute, and also tried to assassinate the heavenly master, and this heavenly master is to the emperor to offer the golden pill treasure, for the Jiajing Emperor, there is no more worrying thing for him than refining the golden pill, during the Jiajing period, because of the alchemy, how many people have been imprisoned or even beheaded and exterminated, although Tang Zhicone is the emperor's favored minister, but the matter of refining the golden pill is too important to the emperor, Tang Zhicone dared to attack the golden pill, that is, to the emperor, how can it be spared. Therefore, Emperor Jiajing was furious, and immediately ordered Tang Zhicone to be put in prison, and ordered Hot Springs to be in charge of interrogation.

How could Hot Springs miss such a good opportunity, taking advantage of the emperor's anger and not having time to analyze in detail, immediately organized the whole city to arrest Tang Zhicone's henchmen, and immediately used torture to extract confessions, how terrible the torture in Dongchang was, and soon forced out Tang Zhicone A lot of crimes, all of which were heinous, and of course Hot Springs would not let Tang Zhicone have another chance to defend himself, nor would he give the emperor a chance to relent. Under the heavy punishment, Tang Zhicone was tortured to death on the spot.

The so-called tree fell and scattered, and those subordinates saw that Tang Zhicone was dead, and in order to protect themselves, they turned back one after another, and confessed a lot of evil deeds and crimes of Tang Zhicone with real evidence.

Tang Zhicong, as the head of the East Factory, was in charge of thousands of households, and of course he had done a lot of evil things. Of course, the butt is not clean, and these crimes with sufficient evidence are placed in front of the emperor one after another, and a considerable part of them are ordered by the emperor. cut off the head to show the public, and even the nine tribes. Among Tang Zhicong's henchmen, Ling Chi, a confidant, was executed, and the rest were all executed except for the report that saved their lives and were exiled for 3,000 miles to fill the army and never return to their hometowns.

A few days later, Emperor Jiajing calmed down. I also think this matter is a bit sloppy. But at that time, Tang Zhicone had already been tortured but died, and Emperor Jiajing had a smoking set for Zuo Jiayin's attack, and after knowing the method of making cooked opium, he smoked opium even more vigorously, and regarded this as an elixir for longevity, so he didn't bother to delve into this matter.

In view of the fact that Tang Zhicone was dead, and the hot springs had a meritorious role in protecting the tributes and ordering the heavenly masters, Emperor Jiajing issued an order to appoint the hot spring master to be the eunuch in charge of the seal, and also to serve as the governor of the Dongchang factory.

Emperor Jiajing was going to reward Zuo Jiayin heavily and prepare to canonize her as a national teacher, Zuo Jiayin thought that once she was canonized as a national teacher, it would be a teacher of a country, and she would not think about marrying Meng Tianchu, so she quickly explained that this smoking gun was developed by her master and her together, mainly because of the master's merits, and she should also be canonized as her master Jin Lingtianshi.

Emperor Jiajing then canonized Zuo Jiayin's master, Jin Lingtianshi, as a national teacher, rewarded Yuling Tianshi with countless gold, silver and jewelry, and allowed them to face the saints without kneeling.

That's a great honor. It can be seen from this that set of smoking utensils and cooked opium are very important to Emperor Jiajing.

Zuo Jiayin took the opportunity to propose to the emperor that he would no longer hold the position of Jinyi Wei and wanted to concentrate on the development of Jindan. Of course, the emperor agreed. Let Tian Yan remove Zuo Jiayin Jinyi Wei from the post of Hangzhou Zhenfu. The matter of supervising the Heavenly Master's refining of the Golden Pill was handed over to the Golden Spirit Heavenly Master.

After breaking away from Jinyiwei, Zuo Jiayin was no more worried that Tian Yan would force her to provide Dongchang news. Zuo Jiayin breathed a sigh of relief, Meng Tianchu was of course very happy to learn the news, and the two said that they would get married when they returned to Hangzhou.

Jin Ling Tianshi had the title of national teacher out of thin air, and it took him a long time to understand that it was the role of Meng Tianchu's smoking gun, and he realized that he himself had underestimated the significance of the smoking gun invented by Meng Tianchu for a big smoker. Privately, I was grateful to Meng Tianchu.

Although Meng Tianchu did not get any practical benefits from the emperor, even the emperor did not know that his precious smoking gun was actually invented by Meng Tianchu. But Meng Tianchu eliminated Tang Zhicone, the biggest threat, and his life safety was guaranteed, and at the same time, he passed the test of the hot spring and became the confidant of the hot spring. And after Hot Spring was promoted to the governor of Dongchang, Meng Tianchu also entered. That's the biggest takeaway. In addition, Zuo Jiayin, who he has always admired, may have made a hundred-year appointment, and he has become a husband and wife, which can be regarded as a harvest.

Hot Spring became the governor of Dongchang, all relying on Meng Tianchu's smoking guns and stratagems, according to his idea is to transfer Meng Tianchu to the capital to replace the vacancy of his Dongchang Hundred Households, but this position is generally held by the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, of course, Meng Tianchu can't be a eunuch, so this idea has to be abandoned.

This time Meng Tianchu disappeared, the heroin in the hot springs was interrupted, and he tasted the taste of life worse than death, and really felt the importance of Meng Tianchu, and the most reliable thing was of course to transfer him to the capital himself. That's the safest thing. It's just that Meng Tianchu has long said that the raw materials for configuring the loose ones are only available in Hangzhou, and the hot springs don't understand, of course, they can only listen to Meng Tianchu, so the best way is to focus on protecting Meng Tianchu in Hangzhou.

Fortunately, Tang Zhicone is dead, at present, no one wants Meng Tianchu's life, and there are only a handful of people who know that the hot springs rely heavily on the situation provided by Meng Tianchu, and after this news is kept strictly confidential, there is no need to worry too much that other politicians will control or plot against Meng Tianchu to deal with the hot springs.

In order to be on the safe side, Hot Springs allocated a huge amount of money to expand Meng Tianchu's Hangzhou residence. Security facilities have been specifically strengthened. Thirty strong and alert men from Dongchang were also transferred to form an escort team to be responsible for security and security. assigned his two most powerful masters to Meng Tianchu as personal bodyguards.

These two masters are an old couple in their fifties and fifties, the man's name is Zhu Hao, and the strong eagle claw skill can be described as the peak, and the woman's name is Li Linjing, who is good at hidden weapons. These two people have followed the hot spring for many years, and this time the hot spring was specially allocated to Meng Tianchu for personal protection, which shows the importance they attach to Meng Tianchu.

Since Meng Tianchu could not enter Beijing to be an official, this time the hot springs won a big victory mainly due to Meng Tianchu's strategy, and the hot springs originally wanted to promote Meng Tianchu to be the head of Dongchang Zhejiang, but after this period of contact, he also knew that Meng Tianchu was actually not good at political struggle. is not good at intriguing, and even less good at framing with conscience. And the main job of the high-level people in the East Factory is to do this, which is obviously not suitable for Meng Tianchu, and Meng Tianchu is mainly good at solving cases, this kind of thing is more convenient to secretly visit than to investigate in the open, so he did not promote his official position in the East Factory, and still let Meng Tianchu serve as the foreman of the East Factory in Hangzhou, and kept it a secret from the outside world. On the surface, Meng Tianchu is already the famous master of the county government of Renhe County, Hangzhou.

Although Hot Spring did not promote Meng Tianchu, he rewarded him with countless gold and silver treasures, and made it clear that he valued and appreciated Meng Tianchu, hoping that he could continue to establish meritorious deeds.

Meng Tianchu didn't have a good impression of Dongchang, and he didn't bother to deal with the affairs of officialdom. He didn't want to get involved in complicated political struggles, so it was exactly what he wanted not to be promoted.

After finishing the affairs in the capital, Meng Tianchu took Zuo Jiayin, under the protection of his own escort team, and used a carriage to transport countless gold, silver and jewelry rewarded by the hot springs, and returned to Hangzhou for a long journey.

Xia Fengyi and Feiyan were almost eager to see through it, and they were overjoyed to see their husbands come back. When I saw those countless gold and silver treasures, I thought that my husband had dug up treasures. Busy asking the source. Meng Tianchu didn't want them to worry, and he couldn't say much about the political struggle, so he just said it roughly, and the second daughter knew that these gold and silver treasures were all rewarded by the governor of Dongchang, which showed that her husband had been highly valued by the superior leaders, and he must have a bright future, of course, he was all smiling.

Cai Zhao and Cai Zhixian came to visit. After this incident, he knew that Meng Tianchu had a great background, but he didn't know the specific situation. secretly used words to probe, Meng Tianchu just said that he had an iron buddy who was a high-ranking official in Dongchang, and after he disappeared last time, that buddy was too anxious to inquire about Cai Zhixian. Cai Zhao is old and sophisticated, how can he not know that Meng Tianchu is deliberately concealing it, since it involves the East Factory, Cai Zhixian does not dare to ask more.

After this incident, Cai Zhixian has had an extra eye since then, and asked Meng Tianchu for advice on everything. He was more polite than ever to Meng Tianchu, the famous master of the criminal family. The attitude is not only humble, but even a little more awe. Even if he ascended to the hall, he had to ask Meng Tianchu to sit upright on the Taishi chair behind the screen before he dared to ascend to the hall. Even when Meng Tianchu farted behind the screen, Cai Zhixian had to retreat and ask if there were any instructions. After that, he continued to ascend to the church. It made Meng Tianchu smile a little bitterly.

Cai Zhixian's change in attitude towards Meng Tianchu was quickly captured by the sensitive yamen officials, and they all knew that after Meng Tianchu's disappearance last time, Dongchang was very nervous, and various legends were circulated, and the result of these legends was that the people of the entire yamen and even the entire Hangzhou Prefecture who knew about this situation were also in awe of Meng Tianchu.

Whenever he saw Meng Tianchu, the older man nodded and greeted him. The officials and ordinary scribes are far away from the side, hanging their hands and standing solemnly. The atmosphere didn't dare to come out, just like Meng Tianchu was the eldest political envoy.

And Murong Yuxue also had a lot of differences with Meng Tianchu. This little girl seems to be afraid that others will say that she wants to climb high branches, although she still goes to Meng Tianchu's mansion on time every day to help deal with criminal affairs, she doesn't talk to Meng Tianchu much, often Meng Tianchu talks a lot, she just stands and listens, occasionally flashes her big eyes and nods, and she doesn't laugh with Meng Tianchu, and she only blushes and bows her head and doesn't speak when she occasionally laughs at Meng Tianchu, which makes Meng Tianchu very angry.

Back in Hangzhou, after discussing with Xia Fengyi and Feiyan, Meng Tianchu personally went to the door to propose marriage to the Zuo family and asked Zuo Jiayin to be a concubine.

After Zuo Jiayin's parents asked Zuo Jiayin's opinion, Zuo Jiayin of course agreed with shame. Although Zuo Jiayin's parents felt that they had wronged their daughter by marrying her daughter as a concubine, the last time Zuo Jiayin's father almost died of poison, it was Meng Tianchu who saved his life. Now that my daughter has agreed, of course I can't raise any objections.

Taking a concubine is not as good as marrying a wife, but Meng Tianchu still officially married Zuo Jiayin in accordance with the procedure of marrying a wife, except for worshipping heaven and earth, everything is in accordance with the rules. At the same time, Meng Tianchu also officially accepted the pretty girl Feiyan as a concubine.

Now Meng Tianchu is at least a household name in Renhe County, not only because he solves cases like a god, but more importantly, because of his mysterious relationship with Dongchang. Now he wants to take a concubine, and the well-known figures in Renhe County, including Hangzhou Governor Ke Qian and other important figures in Hangzhou, who don't know each other, come to celebrate, and they dare not come.

Therefore, but with the grandeur and excitement of this marriage, I am afraid that the emperor will marry his daughter.

The Zuo family saw that Meng Tianchu attached so much importance to his daughter, and Meng Tianchu was so respected, so they let go of their hearts.

Because Feiyan is relatively young, although the marriage is in front, but at the same time as Zuo Jiayin, they are ranked according to age, Zuo Jiayin is the second aunt, and Feiyan is the third aunt. Of course, the eldest grandmother is the original Xia Fengyi.

The Zuo family married three maids and gave them to three grandmothers, Xia Fengyi's personal maid is called Chun Tao, Zuo Jiayin's is called Xia Lian, and Feiyan's is called Qiu Ju.

Meng Tianchu has a wife and two concubines, and the three daughters take turns to sleep, and occasionally sleep together, which is really happy
