Cao Yingjia's reaction was indeed not slow, if someone was sent to do it later, Fan Jin really wanted to hit his head on the table or the wall, creating an obvious injury. Anyway, there is no monitoring equipment in this era, and no one can say clearly how this injury came to be at that time. Although torture was a recognized method in the judicial system at this time, Cao Yingjia could leave the yamen by himself if he was given an unprovoked punishment to a new science and technology scholar.

Even if there is no self-harm, the effect is not much worse. Fan Jin's brawn martial arts skills are enough to subdue two poor people. But he did not make any self-defense moves, and the two messengers pressed him firmly on the table and could not move, and at this moment, the door was pushed open again, Hou Shouyong was in front, and several brocade guards with big shoulders and round waists were behind, and rushed into the yamen like a swarm.

Hou Shouyong was originally Cao Yingjia's subordinate, and there was a big difference in the seniority between the two departments, so he had to call himself a junior when he met. But today, his face was as heavy as water, and his eyes were cold and light, as if he was on an equal footing with Cao Yingjia. As soon as he saw Fan Jin being held down by the public, he immediately shouted: "Wait for what a big boldness!" Do even lowly servants dare to insult the imperial court? You still have Your Majesty in your hearts, is there a royal law? Don't let go with me yet! ”

The two tolerances naturally didn't dare to provoke Hou Shou to use this kind of speech, not to mention that he also brought several brocade guards. Hurriedly let go of his hand, but Fan Jin didn't move, still lying on the table, as if he had been seriously injured. Hou Shouyong turned his head to look at Cao Yingjia and said, "Cao Jianqing, how do you explain this matter?" ”

Cao Yingjia also said angrily: "How can I explain? I would like to ask you what your intentions are. Since Fan Jin entered Dali Temple, no one has added a finger to him, he himself is lying on the table and can't get up, who do you ask? I want to ask you, what is the reason for trespassing in Dali Temple? ”

"Trespassing? I think Cao Jianqing misunderstood, it was the official who asked him to come. ”

A few brocade guards were left and right, and a white-haired old man strode in from outside. This person was dressed in a second-grade uniform, and he was obviously the highest-ranking one among all the people present. As soon as Cao Yingjia saw the visitor, the expression on his face changed: "Chen ...... Chen Dutang, how did you come here......

"What? Can't the old man of Dali Temple come? Whether it is the Yamen of Dali Temple or the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it is the office of the imperial court, and the old man is the general constitution, and he has the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials and picketing illegality. If someone uses the yamen to do illegal things, will the old man have to let it go? The innocent and weak woman shouted grievances outside the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, her voice was bloody, her words were sad, and her heart and stone heart also had to give birth to an unbearable heart, not to mention a mortal person in the flesh? The old man planned to see if Fan Huisi was called for questioning, or if there was something else hidden. If I don't come, I'm afraid I won't see such a good show. The old man witnessed this with his own eyes, and it was not hearsay, I don't know what else Cao Jianqing has to say? ”

The old man who came in later was Chen Ji, the leader of the current Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the official of the Yanguan. He is a 20-year jinshi in Jiajing, with seniority earlier than Cao Yingjia, and he holds the Metropolitan Procuratorate in his hands, and he is the leader of the officials, and he is naturally an important role in the court.

But this person's ethics are not suitable for being a speech officer, and there is no uprightness and a character that dares to fight with anyone. On the contrary, he is a well-known good gentleman who treats people kindly, and he takes the initiative to cling to Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao and others. Zhang Juzheng clamped down on the six departments with his words, and Chen Wei was a major helper. He sat firmly in the seat of the general constitution, which was also the result of the great help of Zhang Feng and the others.

said that he would come out to uphold justice, and even go straight to the yamen of Dali Temple, Cao Yingjia would not believe it if he was killed, and this old man is not this kind of character. The criminal department gave the matter, the general constitution and the Jinyiwei, several contradictions and mutual suspicions, the yamen attacked themselves at the same time, at this moment Cao Yingjia kept praying in his heart that this was a dream, if it wasn't a dream, how could such an absurd and bizarre thing happen. What means does Fan Jin have to knead these yamen together and help him do this game.

The blood around him surged up above his head, and he pointed to a few people: "You guys...... A few of you are in a line and deliberately harming me. ”

"Cao Jianqing, please be cautious. The old man came here just to find out the facts and give Dali Temple a fair. Now it seems that justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, Cao Jianqing, we have taken it away, if you want to find out something, you can send an official document to the Criminal Department, and Fan Jin will write a clear reply to the post, which is better than the two verbal answers without proof. As for other things, the old man should report it truthfully, please judge it by the Son of Heaven, you can do it yourself. ”

With Chen Wei's intervention, no one dared to block their way. Several brocade guards helped Fan Jin out of the yamen of Dali Temple and walked all the way to the criminal department. Fan Jin still pretended to be unconscious, dragging his legs on the ground. I only heard Zheng Chan's heart-rending cry in my ears:

"Master Fan, it was the folk woman who harmed you. If it weren't for the people's wives and other people's grievances, why would you end up in this field? Zhu Guochen said that day that he had a backer in the yamen and was not afraid of being sued by others. It's just that he is talking nonsense, and he doesn't want him to be so powerful, as soon as he was arrested yesterday, he was arrested today, and he was arrested in Dali Temple today......"

Her voice was originally very suitable for being an opera actor, at this time she was crying and saying desolate and mournful, and she spoke clearly, and the officials of various departments and even the officers and soldiers guarding the door all listened to it really. Some people whispered about something, and some people stepped forward to comfort Zheng Chan, only Fan Jin's heart was bright: This girl is really a drama spirit!

In comparison, among the women in the family, Sister Hu and Brother Liang Pandi are all from the market, and Lin Haishan is a robber. If it is spicy, Liang Pan's brother Lin Haishan may not lose to Zheng Chan, but both of them have martial arts, so they have the capital to be spicy. Zheng Chan is a weak woman, and she dares to come to the door of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to report the black, and she is a professional defense household in the Ming Dynasty. This kind of spicy and outgoing woman, if you can give her a business?

When Fan Jin was planning what deal to give her, the person had already been carried into the public room of the Criminal Department, and several Guanzheng Jinshi glanced here, and then they all sat back again. Everyone is not stupid, they know that Fan Jin has caused something big, and this kind of thing is either a big success or a big disaster. The former will not be happy to divide the other party by himself, and the latter will go up to accompany the tie-up by himself? So everyone sensibly chose to pretend to be blind and let Fan Jin perform by himself.

When he arrived at Hou Shouyong's public house, several brocade guards and Chen Wei left, Hou Shouyong whispered: "You can open your eyes, everyone is gone." ”

"It will take a while, and now when I open my eyes, I won't be able to go home."

"You and the teacher have already made a good plan, but why bother to bring the Metropolitan Procuratorate in? With Jinyiwei and me, can't we still pick you up from Dali Temple? This is the Jingshi, not the countryside, Cao Yingjia still dares to move you in the yamen? ”

The disciple never thought that the Zheng family had the courage to go to the outside of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to make trouble. But thinking about it, most of this Chen Lao Dutang was also ordered to do it. Otherwise, if a female stream makes trouble, at most a few officials will come out to appease her, and the dignified general constitution will personally come to the rescue. ”

Hou Shouyong said: "Most of the people who can command Chen Wenhui are Zhang Jiangling." The immortal fighting method should be from small to large, first the disciples fight, and then it is the turn of the seniors of the master to fight. Why did Zhang Juzheng want to clear the scene by himself from the beginning this time? ”

"It shouldn't be, that would be too embarrassing, Zhang Ju is a person who wants to save face, and he won't do this kind of thing. Chen Wenhui showed up, most of them just to show his attitude, proving that they wanted it from Dali Temple. For a long time, in the three law divisions, Dali Temple is neutral, this time to solve Cao Yingjia, Guan Luoneng is old and sick, and he is even more powerless, and most of the people who make up for it are the people of the Jiangling Party. In this way, it will be difficult for the criminal department to do it. ”

"It's not necessarily two to one, maybe the Criminal Department will also be intervened by Zhang Jiangling this time."

Fan Jin had already gotten up while speaking, looked around and asked, "Where is Hua Lao?" ”

"Don't mention it, he was moved by Zheng Chan's experience yesterday, regardless of his body, he wrote a recital overnight, and before he could go to the court, he vomited blood, vomited blood several times, and the situation was very bad. I invited a doctor to perform the needle, and it was not as good as usual. If it weren't for this battle, why would the teacher have to stay in the Hua family and help take care of Brother Hua. But now I can't talk about it. ”

He sighed, very worried about the health of this old friend, but after being an official for so long, he can always distinguish the importance and know that now is the most critical time. The enemy left the flaw to himself, and it would be too stupid not to catch it. As Fan Jin said, just turning the case over is not a good thing, and taking the opportunity to make a name for himself is the right way. After all, the gossip officials all count on fame to eat, and the higher the prestige, the greater the possibility of promotion, this kind of thing is related to the future, and no one can take it seriously.

The previous recital has already been put up, and it can be regarded as an ambush in advance, and Cao Yingjia is equivalent to the fish hitting the net by himself this time. Zheng Chan was crying, I don't know how many people were attracted to watch, and there were many imperial historians inside. The scene of Fan Jin coming out of a coma in Dali Temple, these people all watched. For this group of guys who have nothing to do, there is no reason to let go of this kind of good material, and now most of them will rush to the yamen to write a chapter to impeach Cao Yingjia, and they will end at this time, just in time!

He took out the recital that he had already written, transcribed it with slight modifications, and said as he wrote: "Ponder, how did you calculate that someone would invite you to the yamen." ”

"It's not hard to guess. The bigwigs in Beijing are all deaf and clear-sighted people, and they have no reason not to know about Zhu Guochen. The disciples on the factory guard's side have already been contacted, and they can't get anything. The dossier is in the hands of the disciples again, and they can't get it from the criminal department, and the only one who can find it in the end is me. Whether it's threats or inducements, or negotiations, it's always time to meet. Calculate the time, the most meeting place is the yamen, if it is to go to a private house I can completely refuse, they can't help it. All things considered, Yamen is the best choice, and there is nothing wrong with betting there. ”

Hou Shouyong nodded, "Now the first few steps are as you think, and our plan has almost succeeded, only in the last effort." What do you think about the cantata? ”

Fan Jin shook his head and said, "I can't say anything, just reply according to the truth." There are many people who play the concert this time, and whoever lies will be easily discovered. The key is to make sure that the movement is seen and seen by useful people. One of the purposes of the disciple's transaction with the factory guard is also for this, with the help of the factory guard, our music is guaranteed to be handed to His Majesty and Zhang Jiangling, especially the name of the teacher, so that it can be remembered. ”

Hou Shouyong looked at Fan Jin, "Thinking about it, I've been thinking about it since last night, whether I did it right or wrong when I accepted you as a disciple in the first place." I always feel that if you don't accept you as an apprentice, you may be in the position of a minister for the rest of your life, until you return to your hometown, but you can enjoy your life in peace. With your help, the journey to becoming a teacher is very smooth, but I am a little worried about the end in the future. I don't know if I will return to my hometown with honor, or go to prison to ask for beheading. I always feel that there are two possibilities, but I don't know which one is more likely. ”

Fan Jin said: "Teacher, there is no turning back when you open the bow, even if you want to retreat now, those people will not give up." Now we can only knife to gun, everyone can fight to the death with a knife and a gun. ”

"I know that it is precisely because of this that I feel like I am on a thief ship. Originally, the teacher was just thinking about redressing the wrongs and rehabilitating the innocent. But now, he has to participate in Gao Gong, Weng Dali, and Cao Yingjia...... There is even Yan Qing. That's a good person, and it's not my intention to be implicated this time. And in the final analysis, all this is to sweep away political enemies for Zhang Juzheng. If Zhang Wenming really can't pass this level, Zhang Jiangling will be in charge for three years, and the new Shoufu may not meet you. ”

Fan Jin said: "Yes, but the disciple has no choice, so he can only take this path." As for the teacher, you have a reputation at this time, and no matter who is the first assistant, you don't dare to embarrass the teacher. This reputation is a talisman, the more likely Zhang Juzheng is to keep the system, the more we have to be famous. ”

Hou Shouyong also knew that what Fan Jin said was the truth, but he was not a Jiangling Party, but now he was going to charge for the Jiangling Party, and no one would believe him no matter how he explained it in the future. I had to sigh and say, "That's it." Anyway, when things come to this point, there is no way back, so they can only charge forward. As a teacher, I am afraid that it will be the immortals who fight the law and mortals who will suffer, and this time I don't know how many people will be affected and will be cut off the horse. ”

"The old doesn't go, the new doesn't. If you don't cut off these dead branches and leaves, where will there be new life? This time it is true that the immortal fighting method is true, but one is an immortal in power, and the other is an immortal who has degraded the heavenly court, and there is a big difference in mana between the two times, so there will not be too many mortals injured. As long as the teacher is registered in front of the gods, he is not afraid of not having a fresh peach entrance at the peach banquet. ”

While Fan Jin was talking, he looked outside, the sun shone into the room through the window paper, and it seemed that it was a good weather today. There is no golden drum in his ears, no gunpowder smoke in front of him, everything seems to be the same as usual, it is a peaceful scene, but Fan Jin knows in his heart that a battle has begun, he has completed the charge, and then it depends on the cooperation of others to follow up, and which side the heavens are on.
