Wang Xian saw that Li Chengen was a little unhappy, and hurriedly said: "Gong Cao is angry, of course ordinary prisoners can, but Lord Qian, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the flying fish suit given by the emperor, don't you ask the emperor what he means when interrogating this kind of court official?" I remember that His Majesty the Emperor had a holy decree saying that officials above the fourth rank in the court and the central government should not be punished without a special decree, right? ”

Li Chengen didn't expect to be caught by Wang Xian today, the emperor used to say that four-grade officials can't be tortured without a holy decree, but that refers to civil officials, but the holy decree didn't say that civil officials and military attachés, I didn't expect to be exploited by Wang Xian.

Li Chengen nodded again and again and said, "High! It's really high! I used to hear that Lord Wang was good at criminal names, but today I really see it! ”

"Let Gonggong Cao smile, since the emperor has no special decree that can be punished, then should we ask Gonggong Cao to ask for another holy decree that can be punished?"

Li Chengen saw that the courtyard was full of brocade guards, and knew that without the emperor's holy decree of torture today, he could no longer fight Qian Lide, and it seemed that he would have to trouble asking for another holy decree.

Li Chengen turned his head and said to the stall leaders of the East Factory: "You guys are watching here, I'll go and ask for the Holy Decree, if anyone dares to rob someone, they will be killed on the spot!" After speaking, he turned to Wang Xian and said: "Wang Tongzhi, you are all officials of the imperial court, you don't know the law and break the law, right?" ”

Seeing the success of his plan, Wang Xian lined up his chest and said: "Of course, please rest assured that Gonggong Cao, our Jinyiwei cooperates with the brothers of Dongchang to guard here, and we must not let people snatch the prisoners away!" ”

Li Chengen knew that these Jinyi guards were afraid that they would secretly kill Qian Lide, but he couldn't help it, without a holy decree, these Jinyi guards would definitely not let themselves do it, and now it is the right way to go to the front to find the emperor to ask for a holy decree.

After Li Chengen finished speaking, he immediately returned to the barracks and went to ask for the holy decree. Wang Xian saw that the plan to delay the army had been completed, and now he had to find someone who could speak. Wang Xian came to Qian Lide's side and asked in a low voice, "Lord Qian, who should I go to?" ”

Qian Lide had already woken up at this time, and when he heard Wang Xian coming to save him, he whispered: "Tong Yangjia!" Only he can save me! ”

The head of the Dongchang stall on the side saw Wang Xian and Qian Lide talking, and came over and scolded: "Wang Tongzhi, you... Before the words could be spoken, Wang Xian opened his bow left and right and slapped two big mouths.

"You bastard, who do you think you are, you still take care of grandpa, grandpa was still a hanger when he rescued Princess Yuyang in Fujian!"

The head of the Dongchang stall knew that the king seemed to be guilty, and that he had saved the princess, and this kind of person was not something he could offend, so he quickly rubbed his swollen face and retreated.

Wang Cheng hinted at Qian Lide and hurriedly called Shen Zhuguo, and said: "Old Shen, you take people to guard here, you must not let these bastards in Dongchang do it again, I will go find someone to save the adult!" After Wang Xian finished speaking, he hurriedly went out to find Tong Yangjia.

It was already midnight when Wang Xian came to Tong Yangjia's residence, and the banquet had ended, Tong Yangjia drank a lot, but he didn't drink much, and just came back with the support of his family.

The fifth guard had been waiting for Tong Yangjia for half a night, and when he saw Tong Yangjia coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop the official sedan chair.

"Tong Ge Lao, I am the guard of the Jinyi Guard's commander Qian Daren, my family was captured by Dongchang Cao Gonggong, I implore Ge Lao to reach out and rescue!"

Although Tong Yangjia drank wine, his head was still sober, and he was shocked when he heard that person say this, so he quickly opened the sedan curtain and asked, "Is it the emperor's will or Dongchang's own doing?" ”

"Ge Lao, it is the emperor's will, and the holy decree says that Lord Qian is flying and domineering, let Gonggong Cao interrogate! Now that my family has been taken away for more than two hours, please reach out to help! ”

The treacherous and cunning Tong Yangjia was relieved when he heard that it was the emperor who made him arrested, as long as it was not done by Dongchang himself. Tong Yangjia's eyes rolled, put down the sedan curtain and said: "Go back, you Jinyiwei and the old man have no intersection, and the old man can't speak for Lord Qian, I really can't help!" Tong Yangjia stomped his feet after speaking, and the sedan chair continued to move forward.

As a rough man, the guard Lao Wu didn't understand these crooks in the officialdom at all, Qian Lide asked him to come to Tong Yangjia, he thought that Tong Yangjia could save Master Qian, but he didn't expect that when he arrived at the place, Tong Yangjia said that there was no way, which made Lao Wu helpless.

At this moment, Wang Xian rushed over, saw the fifth child at the door, stepped forward and asked, "Fifth brother, what are you doing here?" ”

Of course, the fifth child recognized Wang Xian, the second-in-command of Jinyiwei, and hurriedly saluted and said: "Lord Wang, I came to find Tong Ge Lao to rescue Master Qian, but Tong Ge Lao said that he couldn't control it!" ”

Wang Xian was also for this purpose, and was stunned for a moment when he heard Lao Wu say this, and asked, "What did Tong Ge Lao say?" ”

"He said that he has no intersection with our Jinyiwei, and he can't speak for Lord Qian, he can't help it!"

Hearing the fifth child say this, Wang Xian scolded in his heart: There is no intersection between the fuck, the one who doesn't know that Lord Qian and you are called father-in-law, so I don't want to wade into this muddy water, it's really a fucking old fox.

Wang Xian didn't speak after hearing the fifth child's words, and lowered his head and went to Tong Yangjia's tent. Tong Yangjia is the prime minister of the cabinet and has guards, and these guards are still Jinyi guards, and now when they see their top boss coming in, these people look at each other, step forward to stop Wang Xian and say: "Wang Tongzhi, don't embarrass brothers!" Elder Ge doesn't want to see you! ”

Seeing that he was stopped by Jinyiwei, Wang Xian scolded: "You bastards, if you can't save Lord Qian, you will be unlucky with you, don't let me get out!" ”

What Wang Xian said is true, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have never dealt with each other, if Qian Lide falls, Jinyiwei will be firmly suppressed, and everyone will be uncomfortable together.

Those guards had no choice but to get out of the way and let Wang Xian in.

Tong Yangjia just drank the sobering soup under the service of his family, and couldn't help but sigh when he saw Wang Xian coming in, he didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the factory and the guard, but he didn't expect this Wang Xian to be stunned, and he still implicated himself.

Tong Yangjia recognized Wang Xian, Wang Xian escorted his nephew Tong Tuchang to Fujian, and Tong Tuchang wrote to say that he was on good terms with this Wang Xian, so Tong Yangjia had a very good impression of Wang Xian before.

But seeing Wang Xian break into his tent without reporting, Tong Yangjia was still a little unhappy.

"Are you Wang Xian? You are so bold to trespass into the Prime Minister's bedroom without reporting, do you know how guilty you are? ”

Wang Xian didn't dare to take it big in front of Tong Yangjia, so he quickly knelt down and said: "Tong Ge Lao, the lower officials are also forced to do so, my family's life is hanging by a thread, and I have been beaten by Cao Gonggong for thirty lashes just now, if Tong Ge Lao doesn't come to the rescue, my family's life can't be saved!" ”

Seeing Wang Xian's anxious appearance, Tong Yangjia understood very well, it was not that he didn't want to save Qian Lide, as a political ally, was there any reason not to save him? The first point of Tong Yangjia's scruples is that he doesn't want to get involved in the dispute between the factory and the guard, although the East Factory was suppressed by Jinyiwei, but the East Factory has the power to supervise hundreds of officials, and it is difficult to offend Cao Fang to give you a black hand at the critical moment.

The second point is that Tong Yangjia heard that the emperor ordered Qian Lide to interrogate, and he knew that Qian Lide was not a big problem, that is, he suffered from some flesh and skin. The emperor still trusts the old Huguang buddies in the past, and there is no substantive problem that he will not ask for Qian Lide's life, and this arrest of him is probably caused by Qian Lide's stinky mouth.

The last point is the point that Tong Yangjia is not ready to stretch out his hand, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are close ministers of the emperor, and they belong to the civil officials of foreign dynasties, why are you a cabinet elder and the emperor's close ministers so close? Do you want to spy on the emperor's privacy? This was a mortal sin in the age of kingship. So Tong Yangjia decided not to help when he learned that Qian Lide's life was not in danger.

"Wang Tongzhi, don't worry, your command is not in danger of life, the emperor just wants to teach him a lesson this time, and the old man estimates that he will be released in a few days!"

When Wang Xian heard this, how many days will it take? Everyone knows that the commander of Jinyiwei makes Qian Lide a wreck, what if he is tortured but bites indiscriminately? What if he puts all the blame on himself for the sake of his own lessency? It's not like Qian Lide has never done this kind of thing before, so he must rescue Qian Lide tonight.

"Ge Lao, my family is weak, and I really can't stand the torture of Dongchang, please help!"

Tong Yangjia saw that Wang Xian was unrelenting, sighed and said: "Wang Tongzhi, I really shouldn't say this pleading, you see that Jinyiwei is the emperor's confidant, and the old man is a minister of foreign courts, if I go to intercede, it will make the emperor misunderstand that there is any collusion between me and Jinyiwei, so that Lord Qian will be fine!" ”

Wang Xian reacted when he heard Tong Yangjia say this, yes, if Tong Yangjia went to intercede, it would make the emperor feel that the minister and Jinyiwei were colluding together, and Qian Lide would really become a dead man at that time.

Wang Xian listened to what Tong Yangjia said reasonablely, and said bitterly: "But how to save my family, if my family can't stand the torture and bite, there will be Tong who will be unlucky at that time!" ”

Tong Yangjia was stunned, he forgot about this. According to Qian Lide's shit character, he will definitely bite indiscriminately after being tortured, but if he talks about his collusion with him, it will be a disaster, if he tells the matter of Prince Huguang again, then his whole family will be a disaster to the nine clans. It seems that this fat man still has to be saved, but he can't do it himself.

"Wang Xian, the old man is really not suitable to come forward to intercede, now there is only one person who can save Qian Lide, you go and beg him to be somewhat sure!"

As soon as Wang Xian heard that there was a play, he hurriedly asked, "Please tell the elder who the lower official is?" ”

"Hey, this person is your teacher, Zhu Hongyi, the king of Wuchang County!"

Wang Xian scolded in his heart when he heard Tong Yangjia say this: Isn't this nonsense, Zhu Hongyi, as the emperor's eldest cousin, has followed the emperor since he was a child, and is very trusted by the emperor, maybe he still trusts Zhu Hongyi more than those princes.

However, Zhu Hongyi lives in a simple place, never expresses his opinions on the government, and only does a good job of guarding the emperor every day, even the first batch of non-commissioned officers and students gather every year, Zhu Hongyi, the instructor, does not participate, can he speak for Qian Lide this time? Wang Xian really didn't dare to guarantee it.
