Shi Kefa stood in front of the hall, the bright moon in the sky was very dazzling, it has been two months since the Ming Dynasty was rebuilt in Nanjing, but the disputes have not stopped, each has its own thoughts, each has a ghost, Shi Kefa is also very helpless, many things are not that he does not know, but he has no ability to change after knowing.

"Your Excellency...... The adult ...... "When Shi Kefa was melancholy, the servant of the family staggered over.

"What's wrong?" Shi Kefa asked absent-mindedly and without much waves.

"The general broke into the mansion with the brocade guard!"

Before Shi Kefa could react, Cao Bianjiao had already walked over, followed by a large group of brocade guards, seeing this scene, Shi Kefa was also curious, and stepped forward and asked, "General, what is this doing?" The old man is the first and auxiliary minister of the imperial court, and if you do this, you will ......"

"Brother Xian, don't panic, I'm here to give gifts, come here, bring it!"

Cao Bianjiao gave an order, and the brocade guard behind him walked through the crowd and dragged a person to Shi Kefa's face, when Shi Kefa saw this person, he also frowned, he knew this person, his name was Dai Zhong, he was a person in the Donglin Party, and he was currently reviewed by the Hanlin Academy, seeing this person's embarrassed appearance, Shi Kefa was even more puzzled.

"General, this is ......"

"Brother Xian, don't worry, there's another one." Cao Bianjiao beckoned again, and another person was escorted over, and Cao Bianjiao also said slowly: "This first person, Brother Xian should know it, Hanlin Academy reviewed Dai Zhong, I didn't expect it, I actually started kidnapping and kidnapping, I really don't know which sage book was handed over to him, and it was taken down by my people, and a person behind this is called Tu Guobao, who was a thief of Taihu Lake in his early years, and was recruited by Hong Chengchou to serve as the chief soldier, and he was demoted after I took office, this person was resentful, and actually colluded with Dai Zhong, kidnapped Liu Zheng's family, by the way, Liu Zheng is the Wang Zhiming, Wang Zhiming's parents, wives and children were held hostage by them, so obey their wishes, pretend to be the prince, and try to subvert the court situation, Brother Xian, the emperor decreed, let you take charge of this matter, let's convene the cabinet ministers and the six Shangshu to consider this matter now, I have sent someone to inform the rest of the adults, let them go to Yingtianfu Yamen to wait, there is a shortage of you. ”

Shi Kefa also shook his head at the moment, sighed, he couldn't stop what he should have come, he always had to face it, he had to make a decision, and he also responded at the moment and said, "Let's go!" I must give an explanation to the general, an attitude to the emperor, and an explanation to the Ming Dynasty. ”

The officials of the Yamen of Yingtianfu are all standing there motionless, and they are awakened in the middle of the night, and no one will be in a good mood, but the general's meaning, they can only listen to the order, and get up to prepare for the trial, and it is no one else waiting in the hall at this moment, they are all the first-class compound of the imperial court, the cabinet ministers and the six Shangshu, all of them are maintaining a solemn attitude, knowing that something big must have happened.

"Shousuke-sama has arrived!"

Shi Kefa strode to the front of the case, and everyone stood up to salute.

"Shousuke-sama, what the hell is going on, the trial in the middle of the night?" Zhang Shenyan asked with doubts, he had just fallen asleep, and was woken up by Jinyiwei, saying that it was the emperor's dictation to let them come to the Tianfu Mansion, Zhang Shenyan hurried over.

Shi Kefa waved his hand, signaling them to be calm and calm, and said: "The general has investigated and dealt with the mastermind behind Wang Zhiming, and by the emperor's order, I will be the chief minister, and the general will try this case overnight for supervision." ”

"What about the General?" Zhang Shenyan continued to ask.

"The general has gone to arrest the people involved, it will be there in a while, we will try it first, anyway, you adults will testify."

Tonight's Nanjing City is destined to be difficult to be calm, and the people of Jinyiwei and Wucheng Soldiers and Horses are all busy, and according to the list given by Cao Bianjiao, they secretly rushed to the mansions of the court officials to arrest the people involved.

"Spare my life, Lord Shoufu, I was also instructed by someone, it was Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who instructed me to do this, they said that after this matter was done, they would promote me to the chief soldier, I was confused, and I asked Lord Shoufu to see what was going on......"

As soon as Shi Kefa brought the Tu Guobao to the lobby, before he asked, the Tu Guobao threw out a blockbuster*, which made everyone present feel like they had been struck by lightning, Gao Hongtu was even more pale, and he was escorted here by the Jinyi Guard in a daze, and before the other party could ask, the other party pointed directly at himself, so that Gao Hongtu was embarrassed.

"Bastard, when did this official instruct you to do this, don't talk nonsense!" Gao Hongtu was also scolded at the moment, obviously he didn't have much confidence, and his forehead was already covered with cold sweat.

"Lord Shoufu, he really instructed me to do this, the first time he came to me with Lord Zhou Bi, he personally promised me, at that time my mother-in-law was hiding behind the screen, she can testify, the night before yesterday, Zhou Bi came to me again, I was really wronged."

"Gao Shangshu, as a scholar of the imperial court, a member of the first grade, or a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, you really have no etiquette and shame, in vain you are also a person who reads the book of sages, how can you do such a thing without a king and a father." Zeng Ying also pierced Gao Hongtu's face at the moment, making Gao Hongtu's face red, if there was nothing to do, he would naturally argue fiercely, who made him weak-hearted.

"Take the king's wisdom!" Shi Kefa continued to hear the matter.

"More than a month ago, a group of people came to me and asked me to do something for them, and held my family hostage, if I didn't do it, they would kill my family...... The people who instructed me were Gu Gao and Lei Yanzuo, I didn't know it at first, but later I learned that they were members of the imperial court......"

Wang Zhiming also explained one by one, just before entering the hall just now, he had already learned that his family had been rescued, and he had no worries, if he had anything to say, the big deal was death, and Cao Bianjiao assured him that even if he died, his family would not be implicated.

"Dai Zhong, don't recruit ...... from the truth"

"Master Shi, wronged, I just got Huang Zongxi's letter, saying that I would go somewhere for a while, so I went there and was taken down by Jinyiwei, I was just passing by, and I didn't know what was going on......"

In the face of Dai Zhong's sophistry, Shi Kefa also changed his previous indecisiveness, and immediately ordered the officials to be tortured and served, under the baton of killing, Dai Zhong finally couldn't support it, he was instructed by Gao Hongtu and Huang Zongxi to dispose of Wang Zhiming's family to prevent leakage.

Shi Kefa tried the people involved one after another in the Yamen of Yingtianfu, and the soldiers and horses of Jinyiwei and Wucheng Soldiers and Horses were arresting people according to Cao Bianjiao's instructions, but Cao Bianjiao entered the palace, he knew that there were too many people involved in this matter, and he had to get a clear decree from Zhu Cijiong to deal with it.
