Chapter 878: New Hatred and Old Hatred
The people of the Marquis of Longping had never experienced such a situation, and a large number of fierce soldiers suddenly broke into their homes directly, wielding long knives with sheaths, and drove themselves from all over the place to the front yard to gather, just like driving a group of prisoners or livestock.

This naturally caused a lot of people to scream and curse, but when they learned the identity of these uninvited guests, they didn't dare to disobey. Although many of these people lived in seclusion and only lived on this side of the Hou Mansion, they had also heard of the murderous name of Jinyiwei. That's a terrible existence that everyone in the capital is afraid of, but it can be used to stop children's night crying.
And now, these legendary fierce gods and evil gods actually appeared in front of them, which made them quickly turn from anger at the beginning to horror - could it be that their own marquis had committed some great crime, and the court let Jinyiwei come to raid the house? Thinking of this possibility, everyone was silent, let alone resisting, they didn't even dare to speak, so they could only let Jinyiwei take him out of the backyard and stand side by side in a pile.
And in the front hall not far in front of them, Yang Zhen happened to be holding the tea bowl for a long time, leaning over to look at the authentic handiwork of Wu Daozi on the table. When Jinyiwei came to the door, Zhang An had just taken the painting out of the treasure house, and Zhang Tong didn't have time to ask someone to put it away, so Yang Zhen and the others broke in.
After looking at this painting for a while, Yang Zhencai sighed a few times: "The Marquis of Longping is really a good Yaxing, he still has such a good painting, and he usually takes it out to admire, which makes the governor greatly admired." ”
There was an obvious ridicule and surprise in these words, which made Zhang Tong's heart feel crooked for a while. But in front of Yang Zhen, he didn't dare to attack, so he could only smile reluctantly: "It's just idle and nothing." If Yang Dudu is really interested, it is nothing for Benhou to give it to you. ”
"This is not necessary, firstly, the governor does not have any research on calligraphy and painting, and secondly, I dare not take such a valuable thing casually, otherwise it will be passed out, and I am afraid that there will be a royal history to impeach me."
Hearing the word Yushi, Zhang Tong's heart was tight, and he could only lower his head. The matter is already very clear, Yang Zhen is here for what he did before, and now he can only admit it.
"By the way, looking at these two paintings, I am reminded of an incident from many years ago." Yang Zhen suddenly turned his gaze and fell on Zhang Tong's body again: "It should be the winter of the fourth year of Wanli, there was a strange theft case in Beijing, and many treasures in the homes of powerful people were stolen. And if I remember it well, it seems that there is Wu Daozi's real handiwork in it, but I don't know if it was lost in the Hou Ye's mansion? ”
Zhang Tong frowned obviously, he didn't remember the events of five or six years ago so clearly. But after recalling it carefully, a past incident jumped into his mind, which made him stunned, and then immediately said: "No, there has never been a theft in my house." ”
"Really? Maybe someone else reported the case. Yang Zhen laughed, and he didn't mean to pursue it. But in fact, the other party's reaction was already seen by him and confirmed that he was lying.
Although a few years have passed since the original incident, Yang Zhen still remembers it clearly. It was the testimony of these people that made Tang Feng completely accused of being a thief, and finally ended up in such a miserable end. It can be said that these guys are all accomplices of Liu Shouyou who designed this matter, and they were the ones who helped kill Tang Feng!
Now, such an accomplice has fallen into his hands again, and Yang Zhen will naturally not give up, just to vent his evil anger for his former boss!
After exhaling a breath and seeing that there were already many people standing outside, he put down the teacup and said, "Master Hou, don't you want to know why I want to search your mansion?" Come on, I'll tell you the answer. With that, he walked slowly out of the hall.
Behind him, Zhang Tong obviously hesitated, but then gritted his teeth and walked out behind him.
In the courtyard, the men and women in the Hou Mansion were divided into two columns, but no matter what gender they were, all of them were full of panic, as if they were worried that their families would really suffer a catastrophe.
These people's reactions were seen in Yang Zhen's eyes, and he only smiled lightly, and then said: "You don't have to panic, our Jinyi Guard will not hurt you, and we gathered you here today just for a case." Have all the people brought it out? The latter sentence was said to his subordinates.
"There are also brothers looking in the corners inside, I don't know if there is a dark room or something, just in case something is missing." Song Guang reported busily.
Yang Zhen nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "You must be very strange, what kind of case can make our Jinyi Wei so aggressive, I tell you now, it is an extremely bad murder case, someone actually brought a wicked slave to the door in order to rob other people's wives, not only took people, but also killed the woman's husband." ”
Speaking of this, Yang Zhen's gaze swept over everyone's bodies, and when he saw that these people were stunned or numb, he said: "And this person is the Zhang Bing you know, that is, the son of your Hou Ye."
"Maybe for you, it's not a big deal for the little marquis to kill a person, but the country has national law, in my eyes, human life is as big as the sky, and it can't be taken casually, even if he is a powerful person, as long as someone sues, I, Yang Zhen, will give him justice."
"Of course, after all, this is an innocent human life, and I will not convict Zhang Bing hastily, so I need some unshakable evidence. And this evidence is in this Hou Mansion. Master Hou, now you know my purpose for coming here today, right? When he said the last sentence, Yang Zhen turned his gaze to Zhang Tong.
And this also made Zhang Tong slightly stunned, how could there be any evidence in his house? Is it a murder weapon or a bloody coat? I'm afraid that Zhang Bing will have thrown these away long ago after he came back, how could he find them. Could it be that they are trying to blame it?
The more he thought about it, the more Zhang Tong felt that this judgment was reasonable, and if he concentrated everyone here, their people could place things in the mansion at will, so that they could use these as evidence. This realization made Zhang Tong both uneasy and a little angry, which was clearly a false accusation, but he was powerless to object.
As if he had seen through his thoughts, Yang Zhen smiled again: "Master Hou, but please rest assured, our Jinyiwei will never make a false move, I will convince you." As he spoke, he lifted his hand and patted it gently.
A moment later, two lieutenants came over with a hobbling old man. Yang Zhen pointed at him and said, "This is He Sanwu, the father of the person who was killed by Zhang Bing." He Sanwu, it is up to you to identify this crime now. Among these people, is your daughter-in-law among them? ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Tong's heart was a sigh, and he finally knew what the problem was. Why are you so careless and neglect this?
Since Zhang Bing robbed the deceased's wife, that person must be hiding in his own house. Now, Yang Zhen brought the door to search for this person. As long as the person is here, the crime is completely established.
It's ridiculous that I'm still thinking about what is to blame, what is the murder weapon and bloody clothes, it turns out that things are so simple. If you had thought of this layer earlier, as long as you killed this scourge and threw it out, let them say that it would have gone through the sky, and there would be no substantial evidence......
At the same time that Zhang Tong was frustrated, He Sanwu had already come to those female relatives tremblingly and looked at them. Although he was old and dizzy, and although there were dozens of women of very different ages and appearances in front of him, the old man quickly found his daughter-in-law from among these people: "Xiu...... Shirley ......"
The woman named Xiulan was still a little dazed and cringe, but when she heard her father-in-law's call, her body trembled suddenly, and then tears flowed down her eyes, and then she knelt down: "Father-in-law, it's the daughter-in-law's fault, and it has affected Shichiro......"
With the appearance of this scene, Zhang Tong suddenly withered to the ground like a deflated ball, he knew that this time it was completely over, and it was impossible to excuse his son. The person was found in his own house, doesn't this just mean that his son robbed the people's daughter? All crimes, and it is natural!
"Master Hou, do you have anything else to say now?" Yang Zhen looked down at Zhang Tong condescendingly, and his tone was full of meaning: "Tomorrow, I will report all this, I want to see if those officials will speak for you, Master Hou." I don't know what kind of attitude Your Majesty will have after knowing this. ”
Yang Zhen's ridiculous words sounded in Zhang Tong's ears, making his body tremble again. He knew too well what choices those officials would make, even if they knew that this was Yang Zhen's deliberate action, they didn't dare to cause trouble. As for the Son of Heaven, I'm afraid he won't let himself go......
Before leaving, Yang Zhen came to Zhang Tong, who was not guarded, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Master Zhang, this time is just a small punishment and a big commandment, but the matter between you and me is not over." Zhang Bing, it's just a small part of the price you have to pay, and next, I will make you pay an even bigger price. This is not only for Zhang Runsheng, but also for the things of six years ago, so do it yourself. After saying this, he threw away his sleeves and left.
After hearing this, Zhang Tong, who was already pale, changed his complexion greatly, his face turned from white to blue, and then from green to white, and his body trembled like a dead leaf in the autumn wind. In his mind, countless thoughts abounded, including anger, fear, and remorse...... A variety of emotions were mixed together, and he suddenly became black in front of him.
"Ah...... Hou Ye...... Master Hou fainted...... "Before he lost consciousness, he heard such a frightened cry.
