On November 26, the city of Wuchang was covered with clouds, and as the temperature continued to drop, the clouds seemed to be getting deeper and lower, coupled with the northwesterly wind howling from time to time, making people feel that there would soon be a heavy snowfall here. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The suppressed emotions of Wuchang officialdom are not much better than this weather.

It has been more than 20 days since the case occurred, and with the passage of time, the case has been further fermented. The people are whispering that Governor Hu and Governor Ren will deny their crimes, but the officials are more concerned about their own future, and they are afraid that they will even get into it in the end.

However, if the probation department does not respond positively for a day, they can only make useless speculations in private, and nothing can be decided. But the officials still feel that this time the matter will not be simply over, so many days have passed, Governor Hu has remained silent, if he really feels wronged, wouldn't he have come forward to negotiate with the Criminal Division earlier?

Perhaps, everything depends on how the court decides this case. Lord Si Luo had already reported the case, and if he thought that it would not be long before he came, the imperial court would send someone to come. Also, this matter involves the Zhang family in Jiangling, and I don't know what the attitude of the elder Zhang Ge is. Under the attraction of these two big shots, Ren Governor's Mansion, who had been called by the Criminal Investigation Division for interrogation once, was not very noticeable.

There is always a time when things come to an end, and at this time, Luo Zhaonan has received an official letter from the Criminal Department of the capital, ordering him to suspend the case and wait for Lang Jiangdao to come. This was exactly what he wanted, at least for now, and Taro was out of the way.

During this period of time, it was not easy for him, not only to put on a strict investigation to the end, but also not to touch the important people in the case, and to worry about being seen, he was really walking on thin ice. Now that everything has passed, the first thing he did was to sort out and seal all the previous case files, and then settle some of the so-called witnesses he had invited.

However, there is one of the most important witnesses, Luo Zhaonan, but he can't keep it, Yang Zhen. Because Jinyiwei also just came, he said that he would bring people back. Although he felt that it was a little inappropriate to let Yang Zhen go at this time, but now that Jinyiwei was in the limelight, he didn't dare to force him to stay, so he had to call Yang Zhen to tell him not to leave Wuchang City, and then sent him out.

Yang Zhen was very puzzled by this. He eats and lives for nothing in the Punishment Division, and he doesn't have to worry about someone looking for trouble. The only thing that made him feel at ease was the situation of his brother Yang Chen, after he pretended to be a Jinyi guard, he didn't know what kind of attitude Tang Feng and the others would have. But he felt that as long as he was still in the Criminal Division and the case continued, his brother would be safe. That's why he's staying here.

But today, Luo Zhaonan said that Jinyiwei wanted him to go back. In desperation, Yang Zhen had no choice but to walk out of the Criminal Division with suspicion. When he came to the gate, he saw Deng Ting and Ma Feng with serious faces, and when the two saw him, they stepped forward and sandwiched them in the middle, and said, "Let's go." ”

Looking at them as if they were facing a great enemy, Yang Zhen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Two, which one is this trouble?" ”

"Which one? Yang Erlang, you are really a good means and a good intention. Now we don't bother to talk to you in detail, after meeting the hundred households, you can share it with him. Ma Feng said angrily, a hand was already on Yang Zhen's shoulder, obviously if he wanted to resist, the two of them would definitely not be polite.

Yang Zhen looked at the more than a dozen men in civilian clothes staring at them on the side, and knew that he couldn't get out in broad daylight. What's more, his brother was still in the hands of Jinyiwei, and he wouldn't leave, so he obediently followed the two into a wide carriage in front.

As soon as he entered the carriage, Yang Zhen was stunned, he thought that Tang Feng, who was still in Luosi Alley, was also in the car, and was staring at him with a smile: "Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen, you really surprised me." The person who pretends to be my brocade guard, I don't know if you are too bold or too ignorant. ”

After Yang Zhen found a place to sit down, he smiled bitterly: "I did this out of helplessness. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Lord Luo won't let me finish my words. If I die, I'm going to have to fight. ”

"Hey, that's a lot of guts, a good trick. If a person like you is really Jinyiwei, he will do something in the future. Tang Feng said and swayed slightly, but the carriage began to move.

"You know, you caught me and the people above me off guard. If it weren't for our quick news, and the faster means of transmitting information than six hundred miles, I'm afraid that this time it would be planted in your hands! Seeing that Yang Zhen was happy after listening to his praise, Tang Feng said with a straight face.

"This is really not well thought out. But I was in a hurry, and I couldn't think too much about it at that time, and I hoped that the Lord of the Hundred Households would forgive me. What's more......" As he said that, he glanced at Tang Feng a few times: "At present, it seems that things are very favorable to you." ”

"Hmph, it's also a blessing for you and me, so that you hit the right one. It was precisely because you showed your identity that Luo Zhaonan didn't dare to take responsibility and put a watch on the court. And our side has made arrangements for this, which has made it difficult for the other party to turn over. ”

After saying this, Tang Feng's face had softened greatly, so he took out two silver cups from a secret place in the carriage, poured a glass of wine for himself and Yang Zhen, and motioned for him to drink together.

"Lord Baihu, how can you come to pick me up in such a battle today? If you want me to meet, you only need to send one or two people, and you don't have to work on your work. Seeing that Tang Feng had already uncovered this page, Yang Zhen felt a little relieved, so he drank and asked the doubts in his heart.

"It's not you who made a fuss. sued Hu Lin at the door of the Criminal Division with such fanfare, how could he let you go. These days, he's always out with people and he's going to take them as soon as you come out. In order to be in order, I will bring someone to pick you up. ”

"I see, thank you for taking care of Lord Baihu. I don't know ...... brother, "Yang Zhen is not worried about himself, he is only worried about whether Yang Chen will be in trouble."

"Rest assured, it's not a problem for us to protect individuals. When you're done, you'll be able to see him. But before you do that, you have to meet the individual first. ”

While the two were talking, the carriage had already left Wuchang City and headed for a small village not far away.

At this time, the first snow of this winter, which had been brewing for a long time, finally fell on Wuchang City.

Snowflakes continued to fall from the sky one after another, enveloping the entire sky above Wuchang City. This made the already small number of pedestrians in the city hide in the blink of an eye.

The cold wind whined in the snowflakes in front of the governor's yamen, making the two soldiers who were still standing in front of the door shiver. Suddenly, their eyes froze, but they saw a man in brown clothes and a hat covering most of his face, walking straight towards the yamen, and this person had a short knife with a sheath hanging from his waist.

"What people! Don't quit yet! Before the man could reach the door, two guards met him with spears, and as he spoke, they pointed the tips of their spears at him.

The man raised his head slightly, and with his left hand, he brushed the hem of his clothes, revealing a simple-looking jade plaque.

When they saw the two words engraved on the card, the expressions of the two guards suddenly changed from vigilance to panic. Before they could react, the man had already stepped past the two of them and swaggered into the governor's yamen.

At this time, Hu Lin, the governor of Huguang, was fidgeting in the public house, not knowing what to do. thought that this case was not too serious, and he could survive with his friendship with the Zhang family. But as events unfolded, he became more and more uneasy.

Now, news has also come from the capital, and the imperial court has sent officials from the Criminal Department to inquire about the case, accompanied by the commander of Jinyiwei. Judging from the identity of the latter, it seems that the imperial court believes their denunciation, which is too unfavorable for Hu Lin.

But since he adopted such a silent attitude in order to avoid suspicion at the beginning, Hu Lin could only choose to be silent at this time, hoping that Zhang Ge Lao could maintain a thing or two in his own care for his family over the years. As long as he doesn't lose his official body, even if he can't be the governor of Huguang, he will admit it, who calls himself wrong in the first place?

It's a pity that after years of hard work, all of them have come to naught, I hate those brocade guards, I knew this was the case, and I should have sent someone to kill them that day.

Just as he was feeling sorry for himself, he suddenly saw the door opened, and a man in brown walked in so loudly.

"Bold! Who are you to dare to break into the official office? Hu Lin changed color and rebuked angrily. What did those people outside do to eat, and they let such a stranger in, is it really that the governor himself can't control them?

The man in brown took off his hat, revealing a thin face. I saw him take out a jade plaque from his waist and light it up in front of Hu Lin: "Master Hu, I was just ordered to say a few words to you." ”

"Are you ......" Hu Lin looked at the jade card with wide eyes, and his expression suddenly became nervous.

And when he had heard what the man had said, his face turned even pale, and he leaned back in his chair weakly, unable to speak for a long time.

After a while, Hu Lin struggled and said, "Is this really what Elder Ge meant?" ”

"Of course. You already know who I am, and you should also know the relationship between my master and the elder of the pavilion. I hope you understand the difficulties of the elder and that as long as you act accordingly, your family will be free for the rest of your life. There is another layer of this, but Hu Lin's family is threatening him.

And Hu Lin also knew that the person in front of him was indeed capable and determined to be detrimental to his family, and in the end, he had to nod weakly, but two lines of cloudy tears had flowed out of his closed eyes.

Seeing this, the man only nodded slightly, then put on his hat again and left. Behind him, Hu Lin gasped heavily, and then a suppressed cry was forced out of his throat, and Governor Hu looked twenty years older than before.

The second is to ask for collections and recommendations!!!
