Chapter 879: An Imminent Conspiracy
When he saw He Sanwu's daughter-in-law Xiulan appear in front of him, Zhang Bing, who was already frightened, completely collapsed, and entertained his crime in the court. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He is not a determined person, but he is just a gentleman who dares to run rampant outside because of his father and ancestor Yu Yin, under the pressure of Jinyiwei, how can he dare to deny it? So, in an easy way, Yang Zhen completely cracked this case that could not be handled by several yamen, and quickly reported it to the Son of Heaven.
Although this case is not too big, but the repercussions caused are not small, those officials naturally know that Yang Zhen's purpose in doing this is not only to make decisions for the people, but more, I am afraid that he is coming for the beating that happened at the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate before, he is taking revenge, and he is supporting Zhang Runsheng.
But even if they know this, it is not easy for the officials to speak for Long Pinghou in this matter, after all, Zhang Bing's crime is conclusive, and even he himself confessed to the prison, how can they tell the difference? What's more, this kind of thing cannot be studied in depth, otherwise it will only attract public discussion, which is not what those officials in the DPRK and China who respect their own identities want to see. In this way, the only thing they can do in this matter is to pretend to be deaf and dumb as if nothing had happened.
Soon after, the meaning of the Son of Heaven was also conveyed - Zhang Bing bullied men and women and killed and injured people, and his crime was not small, so he immediately took away all his identity and sent him to the border as a slave; Zhang Tong, Marquis of Longping, shielded his son, which was also a big crime, but remembering that his ancestors had made great contributions to the imperial court, he was only fined for one year and demoted to two levels to see the after-effects; There is also the Wanping County Order that was specially ordered by Yang Zhen, but he was directly dismissed from his official position and went home to farm.
The emperor's series of decisions made the officials a little unbelievable, and the punishment was too harsh! actually made a marquis's family pay such a price because of the death of a commoner, and also took a current capital county magistrate, and the life of this commoner is too precious.
But this is just their private discussion, in fact, so everyone knows that this is also the Son of Heaven's riposte, and he has to make decisions for Zhang Runsheng, otherwise how can there be officials who will stand up and speak for themselves in the future?
Of course, when this matter reached the people, it became a different picture, and the people naturally looked at things from a different angle than the officials, and they were naturally very happy after seeing these bullying magnates end up like this. Especially those sufferers who have had similar experiences before, they are even more sympathetic, and they are shouting that the Son of Heaven Shengming, Lord Yang is wise, but he also feels why he has not encountered such a good thing.
Subsequently, some good people compiled this incident into a script and opera to circulate among the people, and for a time the story of "Yang Qingtian is the master of the people, and the evil marquis eats his own fruits" has become the most popular track, and it is still well-known even in later generations. Of course, here, Yang Qingtian is no longer Jinyiwei......
Soon after, Zhang Runsheng's injuries were healed, and he returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate on an errand again. Although he no longer has any status and popularity in the yamen, no one dares to despise him, because everyone knows that behind him, there is a formidable Yang Dudu, and behind them, there is the shadow of the supreme ruler of the empire.
A small turmoil caused by the proposal of the establishment of the reserve finally passed, and both the officialdom and the people in Beijing completely stopped, but no one knew that the changes caused by this incident continued to ferment and brew......
Yang Zhen's words before leaving made Zhang Tong frightened a lot, and the next Son of Heaven was even more shocked.
The son was assigned to the border, and it is difficult to say whether he lives or dies. He was demoted, and became a laughing stock in the circle of magnates, and the princes who had dealings with him in the past did not come to the door again, and as for the courtiers who were only used by him, they quickly dissociated themselves from him. As a result, in just a short period of time, the status of Marquis Longping plummeted, and he was even more desolate than Wang Wei, who was unpopular before.
And this bleak environment caused Zhang Tong to have dark ghosts, and some cups and bows and snakes appeared. It seems that every night, Yang Zhen's gloomy face will appear in his dreams, and he is softly saying the same words as himself: "The matter between you and me is not over, I will make you pay a greater price!" ”
Every time, he woke up from a nightmare covered in sweat, and panic had filled Long Pinghou's entire chest, and Yang Zhen had become his nightmare at this moment!
"What to do, what can I do to get rid of this terrible nightmare?" After experiencing half a month of pain, Zhang Tong finally couldn't help it, howled at night, and quickly alarmed the stewards in the house.
But these people don't have any idea about it. Originally, even the dignified Hou Ye was not taken into the eyes of him Yang Zhen, let alone their subordinates.
But things finally took a turn for the better, after entering November, the visit of a mysterious visitor gave Zhang Tong a chance to eradicate the demons in his heart, it was a cold rainy dusk, a slender figure in green clothes and hats appeared outside the Longping Marquis Mansion.
When the knock sounded, the door of the Hou Mansion was still a little surprised. Because during this period of time, almost no one has climbed the door of the Marquis of Longping's Mansion again, let alone at this point in time.
And when he saw such a guy hiding his head and tail, he was even more stunned. If it weren't for the fact that the Hou Mansion was now down, he would have asked someone to drive away such an uninvited guest: "Dare to ask the guest if it is ......"
"I have an important matter I want to ask to see Marquis Longping, and I hope that the housekeeper can make a note on my behalf." Tsing Yi said in a deep voice.
"My lord has been unwell recently, and he hasn't seen any outsiders for a long time, so please go back." Of course, it is impossible for the door to let the other party in, so it is so.
"Really? The illness that your lord suffers from is a heart disease, right? If I say, "I have come today to cure his heart," I wonder if he will see me. Tsing Yi Ke was not discouraged, just said this softly, and then took out a post from his sleeve and handed it over: "The annoying housekeeper sent this post to Hou Ye for a look, if he still refuses to see me after reading it, I don't dare to disturb it!" ”
Somehow, after hearing him say this, the man actually took the post and personally delivered it to the hands of Long Pinghou.
What's even more surprising is that Zhang Tong, who originally looked listless, was in high spirits after reading the post with some boredom: "Go, hurry up and invite someone to me in......"
In the study of the Hou Mansion, Zhang Tong saw this Tsing Yi guest wearing a hat. Although the other party refused to show his true face until this time, Marquis Zhang was not too surprised, just stared at the other party and said, "Are you really as you said in the post, can you help me get rid of my inner demons?" ”
"Then it depends on Master Hou whether you have this determination." The man's voice was still hoarse: "As long as Master Hou has this determination and can cooperate with us, this thing will definitely be done." ”
"Then tell me your plan, as long as it is feasible, I will definitely cooperate with you. By the way, you also have a grudge against him? Zhang Tong said, staring at the pair of slender eyes under the opponent's hat.
"The hatred is as deep as the sea, even worse than Hou Ye!" The man took a deep breath and said, "It's a pity that he is too powerful, and there are too many people under him who are willing to die for him, so I can only endure it all the time." But as long as we can work together this time, it will no longer be difficult to get rid of this great enemy. ”
"When...... Seriously? Zhang Tong asked again with some excitement.
This time, the other party did not continue to promise in words, but only nodded solemnly. Then, he took out another drawing, and pointed out his plan there.
After listening to the whole plan, Zhang Tong was obviously stunned for a while, and his body trembled. This is both because of some excitement and more because of worry, because the fact is too dangerous: "This ...... Can this really be done? Are you so sure? ”
"Of course...... As I said, I have a deep enmity with him, and we have been preparing for three years for today, and everything has been calculated and prepared. Now, it's just that there is a helper like you, Master Hou. Tsing Yi Ke did not shy away from saying the hatred in his heart.
Zhang Tong obviously felt this, and he could see that this was not disguised, it was real resentment, a resentment deeper than himself. Perhaps, only this kind of resentment can make people spend years of thinking about arranging a plan to deal with the enemy.
Seeing that he was silent, Tsing Yi Ke was not anxious, just sat there indifferently, waiting for him to make a final decision.
Finally, after weighing it for a while, and the nightmare of the day flashed in his mind, Zhang Tong nodded vigorously: "Okay, I can cooperate with you." But before I can do that, I need to know who you really are. ”
"This, in fact, doesn't do you any good, but since you want to know, then I'm not afraid to tell you......" Tsing Yi Ke said and lowered his voice and told his identity.
And after hearing all this, Zhang Tong's body shook again, and he stared at the other party's face hidden under the hat with some disbelief: "You ...... ......"
"Master Hou, who we are does not conflict with your purpose. After that, there will be no more crossings between the two of us, so why should you care? Don't you want revenge, don't you want to untie the knot in your heart? Tsing Yike's voice was full of some kind of seduction.
Finally, Zhang Tong was persuaded by him, and his hatred and fear of Yang Zhen had overwhelmed everything, and at this time, he only had one last thought left: "Okay, I promise to cooperate with you!" ”
"Very good, then when I arrange everything, I will contact you Hou Ye, I hope we can do it once and for all!" After the Tsing Yi guest finished speaking, he got up and left!
The drizzling winter rain kept falling under the dark sky, making Zhang Tong, who was watching all this, shudder unconsciously......
