Although they were in a dungeon where no sunlight could be seen, the biological clock in the human body still worked in the middle of the night, and several jailers were already drowsy, leaning back in their chairs and taking a nap. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not long after they had fallen asleep, there was a knock on the door at the entrance. The few people who were awakened first showed anger: "This disturbing dream in the middle of the night, are you in a hurry to reincarnate?" But then, they could tell from the very regular knocking that Yan Tou'er was coming, so they quickly changed their faces and hurried over to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, they saw Yan Tou'er standing there impatiently: "Why did you open the door so late?" They all sleep in there, don't they? ”

"The little ones don't dare. Didn't the little ones go to the inner cell, so they opened the door a little late. Zhang San hurriedly explained.

Yan Tou'er did not continue to pursue this, but ordered the people behind him to bring a man in coarse cloth clothes over, and asked, "Did you do what I wanted?" How's that kid? ”

"This ......" He didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, the three jailers' expressions froze, and then they showed expressions of anger and shame. After being so ridiculed by Yang Zhen before, the three jailers didn't dare to attack, because they knew that Yang Zhen, who could knock down the three big men in a single move, would not have to work too hard to deal with them, so in the end they could only retreat in disgrace.

Finally, they expelled this sense of powerlessness from their minds, and their own head suddenly came to ask such a question, which naturally made them feel apprehensive and embarrassed. As soon as Yan Tou'er saw their appearance, he knew the result, and snorted: "Why is it so difficult to ask you to do something, it's really disappointing." ”

"Boss, it's really that Yang Zhen is too tricky, obviously the shackles are complete, and the three we put in are also the best in prison, but the result is ...... We did our best. Wang Er hurriedly defended himself.

"Alright! That's all it was for now, but I still have a back hand. Yan Tou'er seemed to be generous, but he seemed to interrupt their speech with a wave of his hand, and said to the men escorting behind him: "Take this prisoner in and put him in the Tianzi cell." ”

"Yes!" The two men whispered yes, and escorted the man, who seemed to be wrapped in darkness, towards the entrance of the dungeon.

Hearing Yan Tou'er say this, Zhang San and the others immediately became curious, and they didn't know where he found a good hand to deal with Yang Zhen, so they looked at the prisoner. I didn't want to just look at him, and the hearts of the three of them suddenly tightened, because they only met the cold gaze of the man, as if someone had stabbed him in the heart, so they quickly avoided their eyes and followed them into the dungeon from a distance.

Yan Tou'er did not follow them into the dungeon, but watched them walk in with a rather thoughtful expression: "I don't know where they found such a dangerous person, I hope I don't have a big mess in this prison." If I had known that, I should have asked them for a higher price. ”

When several people came to Yang Zhen's cell again, he was leaning against the wall and pretending to sleep. But suddenly, his closed eyes snapped open, and he looked at the people outside the cell. Although there were more people outside than before, in his eyes, there was only the man in coarse cloth in the middle.

This is a man who looks extremely ordinary in appearance and figure, and the only thing that is wrong is that there is a long scar on his left cheek, from the eye to the jaw. But when Yang Zhen's gaze met him, he realized that this was an extremely dangerous figure, because his gaze did not carry the slightest temperature, like two awls, which made people feel cold.

"They were really obedient, and they told them to find a more powerful character, so they really found such a guy." With this thought in his heart, Yang Zhen's body was already tense.

The cell door opened, and the man walked in consciously, then slowly sat down opposite Yang Zhen, and began to look Yang Zhen up and down with those indifferent eyes. The moment he and Yang Zhen met their eyes just now, they also felt the same threat, which is a feeling that only people of the same kind can feel.

And under the two of them looking at each other quietly, the situation inside and outside the cell suddenly became a little tense, so that Zhang San and the others couldn't help but sudden. After snorting a haha, Zhang Sancai said: "Several, people have already entered the cell, our errand is completed, let's go." ”

"Hmm!" The few people who came in with the man got rid of the unspeakable pressure, and quickly nodded, and with Zhang San, they quickly retreated, as if as long as they stayed there for a while, they would be in danger.

After they left, the cell fell silent again. After a long time, the man said in the same emotionless voice: "Yang Zhen? ”

"Exactly, what's your name?" Yang Zhen sat up straight, no longer as relaxed as before, his eyes full of wariness staring at the man's every move. This person is not under him in terms of danger or ability, this is Yang Zhen's first reaction after seeing him.

"Xiang Ying. Commissioned by men, they have come to take your life. The man named Xiang Ying unexpectedly told his intentions truthfully without concealment, and then leaned forward slightly while sitting, looking at Yang Zhen like a tiger and leopard staring at its prey.

Yang Zhen didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and he also leaned over, looking back at the other party with blazing eyes, and his body was completely straightened. As long as there is any change in the other party, he will respond accordingly in an instant. At the same time, he still spoke: "Can you tell me who called you?" ”

"You don't need to know that. For if you die, it is useless to know it. If I die, he will still call for him. When Xiang Ying said this, his heart moved slightly, he had never thought of being killed by an opponent in the past, which was enough to show that this person in front of him had indeed given him a great threat.

The corners of Yang Zhen's mouth curled slightly, and he no longer asked, but put all his energy into the confrontation with Xiang Ying. For a while, a suffocating and dangerous aura filled the entire cell, but the two equally dangerous characters did not act immediately.

The two faced each other motionlessly like two statues, and the master duel, only in an instant. No one dares to relax, and no one will make an easy move!

Although he had already entered the child, Feng Bao had not yet gone to bed. As the palm seal eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, although he is not as resourceful as the first assistant Zhang Juzheng, he also has too many affairs to deal with, and it is even more common to "approve red" until the middle of the night in the third watch every day.

The so-called approval of the red originated after Chengzu set up the cabinet, which was originally the power of the Son of Heaven -- when the cabinet members who were the emperor's secretaries reported to the emperor in the form of a statement of the various places, the emperor had already written his own opinions in a red pen and then distributed them to the yamen of various ministries for disposal. It's just that as the emperor became more and more lazy and the power of the eunuchs increased day by day, this batch of red power was transferred from the emperor's hands to the hands of the celebrant eunuchs.

Feng Bao, as the current leader of the celebrant supervisor, naturally needs to deal with these affairs, which also leads to the fact that he can no longer be with Wanli as before. As for whether this is good or bad for him, at least for Gonggong Feng, who has satisfied his desire for power at the moment, the benefits still outweigh the disadvantages.

Feng Bao looked at Tiao Chen carefully behind the case, making instructions, not far in front of him, Liu Shouyou was waiting there quietly with his hands down, looking very well-behaved. But in fact, his head was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his back was completely wet with sweat, because he had been waiting here for more than an hour.

Liu Shouyou naturally came to see Feng Bao because of Yang Zhen's incident, after all, Yang Zhen was also the person Feng Bao originally wanted to woo. But unexpectedly, after he opened his mouth, Feng Bao only answered and knew, and then took care of the work at hand, as if he had forgotten the existence of Liu Shouyou.

This time, Liu Shouyou was very embarrassed. If you Gonggong Feng is willing to save people, it is naturally easy to say; Even if you have doubts and refuse to make a move, or even if you don't ask Liu Shouyou to intervene in this matter, you can just hint at it, and Liu Shouyou will never say anything. But like now, not saying anything made Liu Shouyou in a dilemma, after all, he didn't dare to leave before Feng Bao signaled him to retreat.

It wasn't until one of the arm-thick candles on the side of the desk suddenly splashed a trace of spark that Feng Bao was slightly distracted and looked up to see Liu Shouyou. A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, and then he said, "Then Yang Zhen has been in prison for less than two days, right?" ”

Seeing that Gonggong Feng finally talked to him about this, Liu Shouyou finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "If you go back to Shuanglin Gonggong, that's exactly the case." ”

"You have sent people to Shuncheonfu, how did they answer?"

When he mentioned this matter, Liu Shouyou still had fire in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Feng Bao, but said: "They said that this case is too serious and they refuse to hand it over to the lower officials." ”

"Do you think this case is serious?"

"This ......" Liu Shouyou looked at Feng Bao with some hesitation, but he couldn't see the answer he wanted from the other party's calm expression, so he had to say: "Although Yang Zhen killed an envoy of the Japanese State, the lower officials thought that this matter was not so serious that it could not be accommodated. Since his intention was to save Yang Zhen, he could only say that.

Feng Bao glanced at him with a smile: "Originally, I thought the same way, isn't it just a widow, if you kill it, you will kill it." But it's only been two days, and my mind has changed, do you know why? ”

"This ...... The lower officials don't know. Liu Shouyou's face tightened, and he didn't know if he had answered wrong.

"This is a note submitted by the Manchu officials in the past two days, including the Yan official and other court officials, and they all mentioned Yang Zhen's case, you can take a look." Feng Bao said, and pushed a large stack of music forward.
