"Zhou Chang? It's very handsome, more than ten times stronger than that fat man Lu in Yunnan, and walking on the street will definitely provoke many big girls and little daughters-in-law to turn back. Not to mention the handsome face, the limbs are still so well-proportioned, the waist is slender and the butt is strong, hey, it must be very strong, it is the type I like. ”

Looking at Zhou Chang's appearance, Kong Sizhen actually forgot to tell Zhou Chang to get up, and couldn't help but drool, she couldn't help but pounce on it, tear Zhou Chang's clothes naked, and then press it heavily on the ground, ravaging and trampling it wantonly! It's a pity that Tuhai next to him doesn't have such a hobby as Kong Sizhen, so he just shouted impatiently: "Get up, sit next to the brazier, and tell Sigege everything you find." ”

"Cover." Zhou Chang kowtowed respectfully, then stood up and walked to the side of the charcoal basin, and was about to sit opposite Kong Sizhen, but he never thought that Kong Sizhen grabbed him with his left hand, pulled him to his left side, and said delicately: "Lord Zhou, I still sit next to the slave family, and it is easier to sit close and talk." ”

As he spoke, Kong Sizhen pressed Zhou Chang next to him without saying anything, sat down next to him, and at the same time his left hand probed into Zhou Chang's leather robe like lightning, and roamed and stroked it wantonly, so frightened that Zhou Chang was stunned and didn't dare to move. Fortunately, Tu Hai was already surprised by this kind of thing, and said impatiently: "Lord Zhou, don't be afraid, Sigege has always been this habit, you quickly tell Sigege about the major doubts you found, and talk about the rest slowly." ”

"Cover." Zhou Chang agreed again, and had to endure the disturbance of Kong Sizhen's surname with a red face, and said respectfully: "Sigege, Master Fu's case, the case reported by Fujian is very brief, only saying that Master Fu colluded with Taiwan's Zheng Rebellion and attempted to murder Pingnan Wang Gege, among which the evidence for the murder of Pingnan Wang Gege is very sufficient, both the confession of Lu Yifeng of Qujing County and the confession of Pingnan Wang Gege, as well as the confession of the Chaozhou soldiers who betrayed Master Fu. ”

"But." Speaking of this, Zhou Chang paused heavily and said solemnly: "On the charge of colluding with Taiwan, Fujian did not show any real evidence, but only said extremely vaguely that it was related to Shi Lang's rebellion and usurpation case, but Shi Lang's case was the same, and there was no evidence, but the emperor still ruled that the case was legal and rewarded the Fujian officials who handled the case." In view of the above points, it is bold to speculate that the Fujian side is likely to have secretly played the most important key evidence to the emperor, but the emperor did not make this evidence public for various reasons! ”

"It makes sense, it can only be this explanation." Kong Sizhen nodded and said: "The emperor is talented and decisive, and it is impossible to agree to kill a first-rank master and destroy a fourth-grade prefect just based on those vague evidence." And even if the emperor is deceived for a while, it is impossible for the empress dowager not to stop and remind. ”

"Four grids are clear, this is indeed the truth." Zhou Chang nodded, and said: "For this reason, the humble post suggested that Tuzhongtang send someone to Xinghua, Fujian Province to secretly investigate the matter. Fortunately, Zhang An, the general manager of Xinghua Mansion, happened to be Tu Zhongtang's old subordinate when he led the troops, and he happened to participate in the investigation of the case. It turned out that when they found the body of Fu Honglie and Master Fu, they also found a letter on the body of Master Fu, but Zhang An did not know the specific content of the letter, only knew that Mu Tianyan, the prefect of Xinghua, did not dare to open the letter, and directly handed it over to Geng Jingzhong, the prince of Jingnan, and then the whereabouts of this letter are unknown, and the Fujian side did not announce even a word about this letter from beginning to end! ”

"It seems that the problem should be with this letter." Kong Sizhen nodded and said, "But it doesn't matter, as long as Geng Jingzhong dedicates this letter to the emperor, I will be able to know the content of this letter by tonight at the latest." ”

"Si Gege, in front of the emperor, in addition to knowing the specific content of this letter, there is one more thing, you must ask the emperor to re-investigate this case!" Zhou Chang said gloomily: "Because during this period, the humble post found an extremely important suspicion!" A suspicion that no matter what the content of that letter is, this case can be turned over completely! ”

"What's the doubt?" Kong Sizhen couldn't wait to say.

"Gege, please see." Zhou Chang took out a few official documents from his arms and said: "This is Zhang An's autopsy for Tu Zhongtang to get Master Fu and their autopsy grid, which not only states that Master Fu died by a sword, but also speculates on the time of Lord Fu's death. ――Gege, please take a closer look, when did Fu Honglie and Yang Guotai die, and what was the time of death of the other six Teochew soldiers found with their corpses? ”

"Why is there a difference of six or seven hours?" Zhou Chang reminded him, Kong Sizhen also found that the situation was wrong, snatched the corpse compartment and looked at it carefully, and exclaimed: "It is speculated that the time of death of Fu Honglie and Yang Guotai should be around three o'clock in the morning of October 27, but the time of death of their entourage is speculated to be that night of the same day, weren't their bodies found together?" How could there be such a long difference? ”

"There's only one explanation." Zhou Chang said word by word: "Master Fu and the eight of them, Fu Honglie and Yang Guotai were killed first, and the other six soldiers were killed. The place where the officials of Xinghua Mansion found their bodies is definitely not the real place of the crime! ”

"That's right!" Kong Sizhen slapped his thigh heavily, gritted his teeth and said: "As long as you find out the person who transferred the body, you will definitely be able to find out the true truth of this case and find out the real murderer!" ”

"And a very suspicious figure!" Zhou Chang said quickly: "Most of the confessions provided by Fujian came from the mouth of Lu Yifeng, the commander of Qujing County, and in his confession, Fu Honglie, Yang Guotai and these six soldiers were attacked by unknown characters at the same time, and he took Pingnan Wang Xiaogege to escape with his surname - if this is the case, Master Fu and they should die together, and the difference in death time is absolutely impossible to exceed an hour!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Changyi gritted his snow-white fine teeth and said in a dark voice: "So I suggest that after Sigege gets the emperor's permission to re-investigate this case, he should immediately arrest this person and re-interrogate!" ”

Kong Sizhen was silent, pondered nervously for a long time, stood up and said, "I immediately entered the palace to ask for a decree, report these suspicious points to the emperor, and ask the emperor to re-investigate the case." ”

"Sigege, remember to figure out the contents of that letter." Tu Hai interjected and said: "Fu Honglie is my friend of eight worships, I can't watch his whole family die so unjustly, in the process of investigating the case, if there is anything you need help, just ask." ”

"Of course." Kong Sizhen replied casually, and resumed her coquettish expression, took Zhou Chang's hand and said coquettishly: "But before that, the slave family hopes that Tu Zhongtang can lend me this Lord Zhou for a few days, with Lord Zhou's wisdom and wisdom, and his heart is as careful as a hair, he will definitely be able to help the slave family a lot." ”

Tu Hai smiled and agreed, while Zhou Chang over there had a sad face on the surface, and was secretly happy in his heart - no matter what, although Kong Sizhen is too [***], whether it is his figure or appearance, he is one by one.

………………

Zhou Chang deserves to be a very smart character, and when Fat Lu exposed such a little flaw, he was immediately caught by him, and almost brought about a catastrophe. But it's a pity that because of insufficient intelligence and not understanding the deeper inside story, Kong Sizhen, who is deceitful and deceitful, and Zhou Chang, who is extremely smart, are destined to underestimate the complex and sensitive surnames of this case. So when Kong Sizhen entered the palace, he handed over the doubts summarized by Zhou Chang and the corpse collected to a certain Xiao Mazi............

"Bastard! Geng Jingzhong and Zu Zepu are these bastards, they turned a blind eye to such a big suspicion! Xiao Mazi was furious at first, slapped the table and shouted: "Did they not notice this suspicion, or did they already notice it, but they deliberately did not report it to me?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the minions think that both are possible." Kong Sizhen knelt in front of Xiao Mazi and said respectfully: "The slave has been in Guangxi for more than a year, and has contacted many local officials, and found that most of them are not good at investigating and solving various cases, and most of them rely on torture to recruit cases, so it is not excluded that the Fujian officials are negligent. However, this matter is indeed complicated, and it cannot be ruled out that the Fujian localities have deliberately concealed this major suspicion for their own interests. ”

Xiao Mazi nodded slowly, this matter is indeed too complicated, and the involvement is too wide, and it is absolutely impossible to rule out the possibility that someone deliberately concealed this major detail for their own interests - this is exactly the case, even after Lu Fatzi gradually grasped the story of this matter afterwards, he was very strange, and he couldn't guess whether this was the Fujian local government inadvertently omitted this clue, or someone deliberately turned a blind eye for their own interests, this detail has also become a permanent unsolved case that no one can uncover.

"Your Majesty, Fu Honglie's slave is incompetent and shameless, and he really deserves death." Seeing Xiao Mazi nodding, Kong Sizhen took the opportunity to say: "But please read the emperor's mind for Fu Honglie's loyalty to you, don't let him die unclear, the slave dared to ask for an order, and the slave immediately arrested Lu Yifeng of Qujing Zhi County, re-investigated the case, and found out the truth behind the scenes!" ”

"Sigege, it's not that I don't want to find out the truth." Xiao Mazi said with some distress: "Even when Fujian just reported this case to me, I felt that there were many suspicions, and it was definitely not as simple as it seemed. But this matter is too complicated and the involvement is too wide, so I have to weigh the pros and cons. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Mazi sighed and said again: "In this way, don't you want to know what the content of the letter found on Fu Honglie's body is?" I asked Zhang Wanqiang to find out and show you, but you must assure me that not even a word on this letter can be leaked to the public! ”

As he spoke, Xiao Mazi glanced at Zhang Wanqiang, the chief eunuch of the Yangxin Hall next to him, Zhang Wanqiang understood, and quickly sent someone to take the letter from the secret compartment of the study and handed it to Kong Sizhen. And after reading this letter dictated by Lu Fatzi, handwritten by Chen Jinnan and stamped with the official seal of Taiwan, Kong Sizhen immediately gasped and said in his heart: "No wonder the emperor is so heavy-handed, not only killed the whole family of Fu Honglie and Yang Guotai, the two minions, but also killed a good general who defected from Taiwan, a first-class master!" ”

Thinking of this, Kong Sizhen cautiously asked: "Your Majesty, the slave dares to ask, are all the things mentioned in this letter true?" ”

Xiao Mazi didn't answer, and nodded after a long time, which was considered a tacit acquiescence. Seeing this, Kong Sizhen, who was still thinking about it this time, was finally able to clean up Fat Lu's heart this time, and his heart was cold, and his heart was finished, how could he catch Fat Lu? Secretly arresting Wu Sangui's old thing will not agree, if he is caught publicly, he will have to be interrogated publicly, and when the time comes, Ao Bai will insert a hand, once the existence of this letter is discovered, the old lady will have to fall into it!

After thinking for a moment, Kong Sizhen said unrelentingly: "Your Majesty, how about letting the minions secretly arrest Lu Yifeng?" The imperial meeting to discuss how to allocate the military salaries of the three feudatories is about to be held, and Lu Yifeng is only a small role on Wu Sangui's side, and at this critical moment, Wu Sangui should not make a big deal for this small role. ”

"It's not that simple, let me tell you one more thing." Xiao Mazi shook his head and said gloomily: "Ao Bai is also eyeing this matter, Lu Yifeng also entered Beijing today, but before he entered the city, Ban Bu Shan's people stopped him outside Chaoyang Gate, saying that he had been waiting for him there for two days, and he must be invited to Ba Bu Shan Mansion as a guest." ”

"Bamburshan? Send someone to pick up Lu Yifeng? Kong Sizhen's eyes widened, and she said in surprise: "Master, the slave didn't hear it wrong, right?" No matter how Lord Bamburshan said it, he was also a nobleman, a member of the first grade, and he actually sent someone outside the city to pick up a seven-grade county order who entered Beijing to see His Majesty? Still waiting outside the city for two days? ”

"Of course it's not a loss!" Xiao Mazi said gloomily: "The Empress Dowager has already analyzed for me, the case of Shi Lang and Fu Honglie is so complicated and mysterious, what does the party smell of, and is ready to make Lu Yifeng, a key person, figure out the truth of this matter, and then use this case to make a big fuss and weaken my prestige - the old thing has long been dissatisfied with the matter of my pro-government taking power!" ”

After introducing this complicated situation, Xiao Mazi said very distressedly: "You said yourself, in this case, if I approve your arrest of Lu Yifeng, can I hide the eyes of the Aobai party?" How do you interrogate if you are caught? How did I end up after the trial? ”

"Damn, this fucking fat man is so damn good! Coincidentally, I caught up with this complicated situation, and the master had to throw a mouse bogey! Kong Sizhen was indignant in her heart, and she hated and was jealous of Lu Fatzi's good luck. In desperation, Kong Sizhen had no choice but to ask: "Your Majesty, then this matter is settled?" Don't check it out? ”

"Of course, it must be investigated, but it cannot be investigated now, nor can it be directly investigated and publicly investigated." Xiao Mazi said viciously: "The Empress Dowager once taught me that for some things, the Holy Monarch can suffer losses, and even suffer dumb losses, but he can't suffer unexplained losses!" If you don't understand why you suffer this loss, then you are not a saint, you are a faint king! I'll leave this matter to you, except that you can't let a third party know, no matter what means you use or how much time you use, you have to find out to me! ”

"Cover, the slave obeys." Kong Sizhen kowtowed respectfully, raised his head again and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, since this matter must be investigated, the slave has no other choice but to start with Lu Yifeng, because the three parties to this matter, one is the small Gege of the Pingnan Palace, and the slave can't check it if he wants to, and the other is Lu Yifeng's henchman, who will not leave Lu Yifeng at any time, and may not know the details, so the slave has no choice, and can only start on Lu Yifeng." ”

"Then you can take out your proud means, find a way to get close to Lu Yifeng, and find a way to find out from him." Xiao Mazi has a lot of trust in Kong Sizhen and knows that she is the best at dealing with men. After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Mazi said again: "Si Gege, if I remember correctly, you seemed to appreciate Lu Yifeng very much before, why did you become so targeted at him now?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the slave really admired Lu Yifeng very much before, and praised him more than once in the recitals." Kong Si was a little embarrassed and replied, "But now, now ......." ”

"Now because of his business, you have lost two loyal minions, so you hate him, don't you?" Xiao Mazi asked sharply.

"Back to the master, the slave does have such a little caution." Kong Sizhen was honest, and directly kowtowed and confessed, and at the end, Kong Sizhen said again: "In addition, the slave always has a feeling of uneasiness, feeling that this Lu Yifeng Lu Fat Man is definitely not as simple as it seems, and he feels more and more that he can't see through him, and he always wants to kill him as soon as possible." ”

"Not really, right?" Xiao Mazi said casually: "I met with Lu Yifeng today, and we also talked a few words, I feel that this slave is still loyal to me and the court, and everything is based on my country, and he has a lot of talent and courage, which is a rare talent." How can you want to kill such a loyal minister just because you feel uncomfortable personally, because he was inadvertently involved in the case of the death of your minion? Don't forget, in this matter of Fujian, you did not do it authentically in the first place, and Lu Yifeng was innocently implicated. ”

"The slave is guilty." Kong Sizhen kowtowed, and said: "Since the emperor admires Lu Yifeng so much, then the servant said that while investigating the case, he tried to bring him from Wu Sangui's hands for the master, and let him serve the master." ”

"It's not the aftermath, it's as soon as possible, preferably within ten days!" Xiao Mazi said with great dignity: "The pre-imperial financial meeting will be held in the capital on the second day of the Lunar New Year to discuss the military salary expenditure of the three feudatories next year, but at this critical moment, the three feudatories' requests for additional salaries were sent to the capital one after another, and Wu Sangui's old thing reported that the Ma Naiying Tusi Yu Party, which had been exterminated, was ready to move in Yunnan and Guizhou again, and there were signs of resurgence, and asked to increase the military salary budget of Yunnan and Guizhou in case of contingencies!" ”

"And your husband, Sun Yanling." Speaking of this, Xiao Mazi became angry, and couldn't help but point at Kong Sizhen and shouted, "I really don't know how you trained him?" This Sun Yanling actually went to the court at such a critical moment, saying that thieves were rampant at the junction of Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, and the former Ming Yu Party was raging, and he also asked me to increase his military salary so that he could be exterminated! This guy took the wrong medicine, didn't he do Wu Sangui a big favor by playing such a concert at this time? ”

"Back to the master, Sun Yanling is hiding from the slave to take this repiece." Kong Sizhen replied with a sad face: "Later, after the slave learned about this matter, he went to Sun Yanling to settle the account, who knew that he actually said that he did this in order to get a little benefit for the soldiers in Guangxi, establish the prestige of the slave and his in the Guangxi army, and better control Guangxi for the master, and the slave will not be able to attack." ”

"If he gives benefits to the soldiers of Guangxi, he will pay out of his pocket?" Xiao Mazi was furious and roared: "He wants to increase his military salary, for the sake of your face, I can't consider it!" But why ask for military pay at such a time? In order to weaken Wu Sangui's control over Yungui, I finally deprived him of the right to manage the local government affairs of Yungui this year, and then put pressure on him with Wang Xu's recital, in order to force him to make concessions on the issue of military salaries, and I saved money to add a little money to the soldiers of the Eight Banners, so as to establish my prestige among the soldiers of the Eight Banners after I became pro-government, and overpower Aobai. ”

"Minions should die, minions should die!" Kong Sizhen kowtowed again and again, and said tremblingly: "It's all to blame for the slave who failed to control Sun Yanling and caused trouble to the master, and the slave deserves death!" ”

"Now I know it's time to die, it's too late!" The more Xiao Mazi spoke, the more angry he became, and he roared: "It's okay now, the three feudatories are all asking for a raise, and your husband is also asking for a raise!" In this case, Wu Sangui's old thing is mainly anti-guest, how can I be embarrassed to cut his military salary? ”

Kong Sizhen's forehead was close to the ground, sweating like pulp, and she didn't dare to say a word for a long time, she only wanted to tell Sun Yanling's eighteenth generation of male surnames.

Fortunately, after Xiao Mazi vented for a while, he finally calmed down and said: "Fortunately, I received a secret report from Yunnan, and Wu Sangui assigned Lu Yifeng to assist Wu Yingxiong, the prince of Pingxi, to discuss with the imperial court the allocation of Yungui military salary expenses for next year. ”

"Let Lu Yifeng assist Wu Yingxiong? Assign a seven-grade sesame official Lu Yifeng to do such a big thing? Kong Sizhen asked in surprise: "Wu Sangui's old thing also took the wrong medicine?" Your Majesty, the slave dared to ask, is this news reliable? ”

"This news was secretly played to me by Yuan Maogong, the governor of Yunnan." Xiao Mazi said gloomily: "According to Yuan Maogong's report, he inadvertently learned the news from Wang Shirong, a strategist next to Wu Sangui, at the wine table, but why did Wu Sangui assign Lu Yifeng to handle this matter, Wang Shirong did not leak it to Yuan Maogong. And I received a secret report that after Lu Yifeng entered Beijing, he did not live in the Yunnan Post House, but directly lived in Wu Yingxiong's house. ”

"Could it be that Wu Sangui really intends to adopt a strategy of slowly withdrawing the feudal domain?" Kong Sizhen suddenly had a whim, and said: "Just like Lu Yifeng said in front of Shang Kexi, take the method of increasing military salaries to solve the aftermath problem after the withdrawal of the Yungui army, and then send Lu Yifeng, who proposed this strategy, to handle this matter?" ”

"I don't rule out the possibility of this." Xiao Mazi nodded, pointed at Kong Sizhen and said: "In view of these circumstances, I hope that you can bring Lu Yifeng to me within ten days, if you can succeed, not only can the truth about Fujian's affairs be revealed, but I can also find out the military salary hole card of Wu Sangui's old things, and minimize the imperial court's expenditure on the military salary of the three feudatories!" ”

"Cover. The minions obeyed. Kong Sizhen agreed again, and at the same time couldn't help but move again, "Dead fatty, God is destined for our marriage, it seems that the slave family's Yunnan is destined to be bad in your hands for the first time." ”

"I have a similar account for Suo Etu." Xiao Mazi said again: "How to do it, you can go and discuss with Suo Etu, give full play to your best skills, and tell Lu Yifeng casually, as long as Lu Yifeng is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and help me solve the current problem of the military salaries of the three feudatories, I will reward him with a prefect ......, no, I can reward him with a Dao platform!" Two Huai Salt Dharma! ”
