When he came to the Cao Gang stronghold in Linhe Lane again, both Yang Zhen's mood and the gang's attitude towards him were very different from the first time he came here. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 They respectfully welcomed the smiling Yang Zhen into the mansion, and Luo Chengzhang had been waiting in the hall for a long time as he had done that time.

It was still a pot of coarse tea, and the two sat opposite each other, but it was less tense before and more close.

After greeting each other and greeting each other, Yang Zhen got to the point: "The day before yesterday, the Luo gang leader said that he wanted to use the power of our Jinyiwei, please say it directly today." ”

Luo Chengzhang turned pale, and refilled the cups of the two of them before continuing: "Brother Yang, do you still remember the fire during this year's Shangyuan Festival? After speaking, he glanced at the screen thoughtfully, but his daughter did not hide behind it today.

Yang Zhen nodded yes. He was in the middle of the fire when it started, how could he have forgotten it after only a few months? He even remembered that he had saved a beautiful woman at that time, but unfortunately he never met him again, which was quite regrettable.

"The little girl was also in the fire that day, but fortunately someone rescued her and escaped." Luo Chengzhang glanced at Yang Zhen again as he spoke, and then said after hiding the gratitude in his heart: "But my old brother named Li Gang was buried in that fire. ”

"How is this possible?" Yang Zhen shook his head in disbelief: "Presumably, that Senior Li is also a person with martial arts, how could something happen in this fire?" ”

"This is exactly where I want to ask your Jinyi Guards to help. My brother Li is also famous in the rivers and lakes for practicing kung fu, but I don't want to fail this hurdle. And as far as I can see, he was indeed plotted by someone to die here. Luo Chengzhang said with a sad look in his eyes: "And the little girl who was with him at that time recalled, a strange thing did happen at that time, she had smelled a strange fragrance beforehand, and then she was unable to escape from the fire." ”

"There's a sentence in the next one that I don't know whether to say or not." Yang Zhen listened to his description, and his heart moved, and he vaguely seemed to have guessed something.

"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it." Luo Chengzhang also seemed to know Yang Zhen's thoughts, and his face was like an ancient well.

"It seemed like an accident, but it seemed to me that someone was deliberately plotting. Miss Keluo ...... "Speaking of this unfamiliar title, Yang Zhen suddenly paused, as if he had thought of something, but quickly put this strange idea aside: "And Senior Li's appearance on that street is also accidental, so it means that someone is secretly following to succeed, right?" ”

"Not bad. There is another thing I don't want to hide...... Luo Chengzhang's voice was slightly lower: "I have found out that this matter was done by someone in my Cao Gang." ”

"Hmm......" Yang Zhen was obviously taken aback, but quickly accepted this fact. It is also normal for a big gang like the Cao Gang to have a life-and-death struggle within it, after all, there is a good saying, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the Cao Gang is not a small river and lake?

But I have not been able to find out who the person who did it was, or what his purpose was. After all, as the deputy of the Cao Gang, I still have a lot of inconvenience to take the initiative to investigate this matter, and it will even arouse the suspicion of other brothers in the gang, so I want to ask your Jinyi guards to help me investigate outside. Luo Chengzhang finally expressed his thoughts.

Yang Zhen picked up the teacup and took a sip of slightly bitter tea, and then said, "Just do it according to the will of the leader of Yiluo." It's just that the Cao Gang has a lot of people, so you should have some suspicions, right? ”

Luo Chengzhang took out a piece of paper with many names written on it from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Zhen: "This is the person I suspect after thinking about it recently, you can check them first and see what you find." As long as this person is not found out for a day, it will always be a big hidden danger for us, please. ”

"In this case, please wait for the good news." Yang Zhen accepted the paper and solemnly arched his hand. After solving An Li and Shen Zhuo, Jin Yiwei had no enemies in Hangzhou for the time being, and he just took advantage of this time to help the Cao Gang investigate this matter.

Of course, Yang Zhen and Tang Feng both knew in their hearts whether they could really completely solve An and Shen, and it was no longer what they did at this time, but it depended on what the imperial court was thinking.

The fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Dragon Boat Festival. The capital of the Ming Dynasty is Beijing.

In this traditional festival with a history of thousands of years, the descendants of Yan and Huang have long developed unchanged habits: eating five yellows, making zongzi, and racing dragon boats...... Although Beijing does not promote the activity of dragon boat racing, the entire Sijiu City from the dignitaries and dignitaries, down to the peddlers and pawns, will eat a few zongzi on this day and drink a cup of realgar wine.

Walking in the streets and alleys of Beijing, you will smell the fragrance of rice dumplings wrapped in glutinous rice from time to time, as well as the pungent smell of realgar. Even in the Forbidden City within the Ninefold Palace, it is similar to the folk at this moment, and a trace of zongzi fragrance wafts out.

The cabinet duty room is no exception, and on the big case in front of Zhang Taiyue, the first assistant today, there is also a rosewood tray at this moment, in which a plate of zongzi and a pot of realgar wine are placed. It was the emperor who asked the imperial dining room to give him a special reward for Master Zhang.

But the zongzi have been delivered for nearly an hour, and they have all cooled, but Zhang Juzheng has not moved yet. Because he was so busy that he didn't even have time to take a break and have a snack.

The emperor is still young, and the queen mother does not care much about the government, which makes the important decisions of the entire Ming Empire fall on Zhang Shoufu's shoulders. Especially after the implementation of the new law last year, Zhang Juzheng did not dare to slack off in the slightest, if he, the head of the cabinet who issued the decree, could not set an example, then how could he serve the hearts of millions of officials in the world?

All Zhang Juzheng can do is bow to the essence and die.

Because of this, although he has only worked for half a year, Zhang Juzheng looks much older than last year, not only have a few more wrinkles on his face, but also have a few more gray hairs on his sideburns. Seeing this, the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother asked Zhang Juzheng to take care of his body several times, but he was still the same, and he was even more like walking on thin ice, as if he was on the edge of the abyss. Jun's grace is deep, and he can only repay it like this.

At this moment, Zhang Juzheng had just listened to an urgent letter from Guangdong and made instructions, and after rubbing his temples to make himself less tired, he took a pair of reading glasses with gold as a frame and glass lenses in front of him and put them in front of him.

People all over the world envy Zhang Taiyue's current status, and some people even think of various ways to replace him. But who knows how hard it is to sit in this chair and review hundreds of notes every day? It is not an exaggeration to use the four words of Rili Wanji on his body.

Fortunately, Zhang Juzheng has long been very familiar with handling political affairs, and many of the mistakes that are not too problematic are often made by making decisions and approvals with just a few glances, but he is also calm.

It wasn't until he picked up a copy sent from Zhejiang, which read "Ye Tianzu, the governor of Zhejiang, Cui Xianhe, the political envoy, and Pei Xuan, the prefect of Hangzhou", that his face slowly became solemn, and at the same time, the brush in his right hand was also gently put down by him.

"The movements are really not slow, they are indeed very ......" After muttering twice, Zhang Juzheng said to Qin Gang, a Chinese scholar who was helping to deal with the paperwork: "You go and send a message and let Feng Shuanglin come to the cabinet." ”

Qin Gang hurriedly put down the work in his hand, and rushed to deliver the message as soon as he agreed.

Although Feng Bao is now extremely powerful, and no one seems to be in his eyes, he is extremely respectful to Zhang Juzheng. As soon as he heard that Zhang Shoufu invited him to discuss things, he didn't dare to delay in the slightest, and he had already arrived after just one meal.

After introducing Feng Bao into the duty room, Qin Gang exited the room very knowingly and closed the door.

Seeing that there were only two of them left in the room, Zhang Juzheng didn't beat around the bush and handed over the recital: "Brother Shuanglin, take a look." ”

Feng Bao took it and only glanced at it a few times, and his face changed. He slapped Song Shu on the case and snorted: "They are so bold that they dare to reverse black and white like this!" Do you really think that my East Factory can't find out the truth? ”

"Actually, when you told me about it the day before yesterday, I thought it might turn out like this. After all, those brocade guards would not dare to frame their bosses and eunuchs like this if they didn't have a backhand, and this seal is where their confidence lies. Zhang Juzheng seemed calm, patted the song and said: "Now that several officials in Zhejiang have jointly identified An Li and Shen Zhuo as the masterminds of the silver treasury theft case, it is not so easy to investigate this matter." ”

Feng Bao naturally understood what he meant. The weight of this letter itself is not light, plus there is a very comprehensive evidence in it, and even a confession written by An Li himself, it is not easier for him to refute these than to directly convict several feudal officials.

But even so, Feng Bao still couldn't swallow this breath, and said angrily: "Am I just going to let them deceive my people?" ”

"Brother Shuanglin, don't be impatient, in fact, this matter will not cost their lives, you have a way to get them away, but this has to wait until they are sent to the capital." Zhang Juzheng comforted the person in front of him and said: "Also, this incident will inevitably attract the attention of people in the court, after all, Tang Feng and the others have just made trouble in Wuchang." So you have to be patient and don't give them a chance. ”

Feng Bao was not an ordinary eunuch after all, and quickly adjusted his mentality: "I can save it, let them be proud for a while." I thought that if I transferred them out of Wuchang, there would be no trouble without a foundation, but now it seems that I still underestimated their ability. After a year and a half, I transferred them to the capital to see what else they could make under my nose. ”

"Yes, although they haven't caused much trouble yet, they still look like a hidden danger and must be dealt with as soon as possible." Zhang Juzheng had the same opinion on this, and then reminded: "In fact, in addition to not dealing with them head-on, you can also think of other methods, such as provoking one or two, and making them themselves cause contradictions." ”

After Feng Bao heard this, his eyes narrowed, and his gaze fell on the note, obviously he had some idea......
