Chapter 226: Identity Exposed
Last time, it was said that some ministers said that the facts showed that the Nine Standing Servants were not internal traitors, and suggested that Liu Hong release the Nine Standing Servants and reinstate them.
Liu Hong wanted to veto it directly, but he couldn't. He was afraid that He Jin's people would rise up against him in court. If the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty disobeyed, it would mean that the emperor's decree was chaotic, and at that time, Liu Hong would be embarrassed. So Liu Hong could only ask He Jin gloomily: "What does the general think?" ”
Although He Jin and Jiuchang have become allies, the grudges accumulated for many years are not so easy to eliminate, so He Jin still wants Jiuchang to continue to suffer in prison, but he can't say it in court. In addition, He Jin didn't think that Jiuchangshi was necessarily not a traitor, so He Jin didn't want to release Jiuchangshi for the time being.
So He Jin started Tai Chi with Liu Hong, and said perfunctorily: "But it is up to Your Majesty to deal with it." ”
Liu Hong heard He Jin's answer so ambiguous, and secretly laughed in his heart that the Jiuchang attendant was looking for the wrong backer, and He Jin clearly didn't want to get the Jiuchang attendant out of the prison.
Liu Hong looked fiercely at the minister who had just spoken for the Nine Standing Attendants, and said loudly to the guards: "Someone! Take down the one who just spoke for Zhang and let the thieves talk to them, and punish him as a fellow party. ”
When the minister who interceded for the nine permanent servants heard this, his feet were weak, and his whole body fell to the ground softly. He didn't understand why the general didn't help to say good things, isn't everyone in the same formation?
The guards heard Liu Hong's call and were about to step forward to get someone. He Jin spoke out in time to stop him: "Wait!" Your Majesty, the Nine Standing Servants have not yet been convicted, they are only suspected. There is no confirmation for a day, and he is still a regular servant for a day. Speaking of this, He Jin shouted loudly, "Luo Tingwei, has the crime of collaborating with the enemy been confirmed?" ”
When Luo Lei heard He Jin's mention of the Nine Standing Attendants, his head was big for a while. This case is not easy to investigate, if the Nine Standing Servants do not belong to the general formation, of course Luo Lei does not need to scruple, even if the Nine Standing Servants do not collaborate with the enemy, they can be made into collaborators. Because the Jiuchang servants are all locked up in the prison, it's not like Dali Temple can deal with it as much as it wants. But the problem is that if the nine permanent servants did not collaborate with the enemy, they would definitely be reinstated by the officials under He Jin's arrangement. Can this be checked? But He Jin asked now, and Luo Lei couldn't take it as if he couldn't hear it.
Luo Lei could only bite the bullet and go out of class: "Your Majesty, the minister has sent someone to the mansion of the middle attendants to find evidence, but no suspicious objects have been found. The attendants were interrogated, and nothing suspicious was found. ”
In fact, He Jin also knew that Luo Lei couldn't find anything substantive at all, and he knew that the search and interrogation that Luo Lei said might just be a form of walking, because this case was not something that Luo Lei's level could investigate. He Jin felt that if the Jiu Chang Shi really had a traitor in it, he could only dig him out by the Jiu Chang Shi himself, and He Jin also believed that the Jiu Chang Shi hated the traitor as much as he did, so he was not in a hurry, if he couldn't dig out the traitor in the end, then wait until the Yellow Turban Thief was destroyed, and then the Jiu Chang Shi would be fished out.
Liu Hong was so angry by He Jin and Luo Lei's double reed play that he smoked through seven holes, which was He Jin's clear intention to keep the nine permanent servants. Liu Hong looked at his teacher Yang Ci and saw Yang Ci standing in his position with his eyes closed. Liu Hong was discouraged.
This is also where Liu Hong doesn't like those hard bones with wind and bones, when he should help himself speak, he doesn't let a fart go, he knows that he has to follow the rules, isn't what I say just the rules? Not only will powerful ministers like He Jin break my rules, but even these hard bones will also break my rules!
Liu Hong felt that it was too unlucky, so he played with his temperament, and he didn't even care if the courtiers had anything to do, so he got up and left directly.

When Jian Shuo saw that Liu Hong was leaving, he immediately shouted to retreat from the dynasty, and followed Liu Hong's ass out of the Chongde Palace.
Yang Ci saw Liu Hong's childish temper, sighed secretly in his heart again, and turned to leave.
During the time when the Han Court was discussing the change of commander, there were also drastic changes on the side of the Yellow Turban Army. The cause of the incident can be traced back to Zhang Liang leaving the Qingzhou camp and starting to talk about it.
After Zhang Liang left the Qingzhou camp, the generals in the battalion soon found that they could not find the general Digong, and rumors suddenly spread in the camp, some said that the general was seriously ill, and some said that the general was unexpected, anyway, there was nothing good, and it affected the morale of the army.
In order to dispel the rumors, Yan Zheng suggested that Zhang Bao come forward to clarify. Zhang Bao said to the army that Zhang Liang received an order from Zhang Jiao to go north to deal with the military affairs of Youzhou. When the soldiers saw that it was Zhang Bao, they had no suspicion at all, so the rumors disappeared.
Although the rumors have disappeared, it is necessary to find out how the rumors came out.
After a round of screening, Yan Zheng found that there were a few soldiers missing from the camp, and on the surface, it seemed that the rumors in the army were the good deeds of these missing soldiers. But why did these soldiers spread such rumors? And the soldiers didn't know that Zhang Liang was not in the camp, but they had already disappeared, and Yan Zheng couldn't investigate it, so he could only arrange for people to secretly keep an eye on the generals of the units to which the missing soldiers belonged. And Zhang Bao felt that the rumors had been basically resolved, so he didn't report it to Zhang Jiao, and he had to report everything to Zhang Jiao, which made him seem too incompetent.
At the same time that Yan Zheng arranged for people to monitor the suspicious generals, one of the missing soldiers was on his way to Jizhou, and the other was on his way to Youzhou.
The person who went to Jizhou wanted to inform Zhang Yan of the news of Zhang Liang's departure from the camp, and the person who went to Youzhou wanted to inform the accomplices on the other side of Youzhou to find out the specific reason why Zhang Liang went north.
After Zhang Yan learned of the news, she was very concerned and sent additional people to Youzhou to investigate the matter.
As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall in this world at all, and under the deliberate and unintentional investigation of Zhang Yan's secret agents, Liang Xu, the prince of the Yellow Turban Army, was still discovered.
The secret agents in Youzhou first found Murong Xuanzheng, and then found Zhang Liang. In the end, it was found that Zhang Liang always carried a little doll by his side, and his actions were very intimate. So the spies concentrated their firepower and began to comprehensively investigate everything about this little doll.
Through the servants of Liu Bei's mansion and the villagers of Zhang Fei Zhuangzi, I learned that this little doll is called Liang Xu, from Guangzong County, Julu County, and is the nephew of Zhang Liang under the pseudonym Liang Jian, and Liang Xu is called Zhang Liang's third uncle.
Later, the spies also found Zhang Sheng and Zhang San, who had not appeared for a long time, by Liang Xu's side, which further illustrated that the identity of this little doll named Liang Xu was extraordinary. The spies did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly passed the news back to Zhang Yan.
