If there is another way, Wang Fulin naturally does not want to confess He Xinyin's existence, but now that Jingshi is about to experience a storm, He Xinyin has already been involved, and the mastermind behind the scenes has already made an appointment with this Mr. Fushan, he doesn't say that in the future, when the person with unknown identity and purpose is taken down, he will also confide in, he might as well count on Zhang Hong. Therefore, he readily gave the names of the people.

As for how to get acquainted and so on, there is a side of the relationship when he sacrificed Hu Zongxian in Longxi Village, but it is generally reasonable. As for Gao Gong's manuscript, he only said that it was because of the teacher-student relationship between Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng, and after He Xinyin entered Beijing, he heard that he was deeply trusted by Zhang Juzheng, so he quietly found himself according to the old karma and brought such a thing, hoping that he could think of a way.

Since he has dealt with Wang Fulin more than once, Zhang Hong naturally believes in such causes and consequences. The most important thing is that Wang Fulin also wrote a letter of recommendation, leading him to the inn to meet people directly.

Although Zhang Hong is a lieutenant official, but from the inner study hall, he is not only literate and hyphenated, and the inner study hall has always been taught by Hanlin, nine years old when he entered the inner study hall, he is even higher than many folk students, so he is naturally familiar with the world's celebrities. He Xinyin used to be in Hu Zongxian's shogunate, and he was around Xu Jie, but he refused to participate in the examination. Therefore, when he mobilized his own powerful manpower, he finally knocked on He Xinyin's guest room before dawn, and when he entered it, he only felt a little unbelievable when he saw the thin old man.

It is said that this old man once traveled the world with a sword when he was in his prime, and he thought he was so burly and upright, but now at first glance, it is no different from an ordinary villager.

He Xinyin had been preparing for someone to come to see him, so when Zhang Hong didn't report his intentions, but directly handed over a note, he lowered his head and changed his expression slightly, and then arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be Zhang Rongzhaigong, the master of ceremonies, who was disrespectful." Since there is Wang Shiqing's recommendation, then I will not say secret words in front of the Ming people. ”

Zhang Hong is now in a hurry for time, and he is impatient and polite, so He Xinyin said straight to the point about meeting with the person who called himself Zhang Cheng in the Lingji Palace, he listened extremely carefully, and when he heard that the person directly asked He Xinyin for the manuscript of the high arch, he couldn't help but immediately asked: "What about that thing?" Did you give it to him? ”

"Rong Zhaigong, if that person only threatens with my life, I can ignore it, but he threatens with the lives of my children, nephews and students, and I don't have much friendship with Gao Xinzheng, so it's useless for me to hold this thing in my hand, so naturally I can only hand it over." He Xinyin paused, and seeing that Zhang Hong's face was not very good-looking, he continued, "That person has a white face, a high forehead, a pointed jaw, a slight convex cheekbone on one side, and no obvious features such as black moles on his face, but when he sits, he will unconsciously raise his right shoulder, and often cross his feet. The voice was pure official dialect, but it was not sharp, as if he deliberately wanted to be lower. ”

These characteristics, others will never feel anything when they hear them, but Zhang Hong is different, just from He Xinyin's description, he can carve a very clear outline in his heart!

That's not Zhang Cheng at all, it's Zhang Whale!

Although the disciples and grandchildren under his name are all over the palace, not to mention hundreds, who is he? Not to mention those who have long been in such a high position as eunuchs, even those who have promised to follow him for a long time, and he can remember them all clearly. Zhang Whale has been under his name since he entered the palace, he initially started learning from all kinds of miscellaneous work, and served by his side for many years before he was transferred to the little emperor's side, how could he not know his appearance and habits?

Moreover, Zhang Whale is best to fight fiercely, although he and Zhang Cheng serve Zhu Yijun, but there are often disagreements between each other. Zhang Cheng finally succeeded in regaining Feng Bao's trust and won the title of the eunuch in charge of the internal official and eunuch, but Zhang Jing still only had the false name of a royal eunuch. Because he was overpowered, Zhang Whale didn't know how many times the wind blew in front of him, and he wanted to become the celebrant eunuch, after he showed that as long as Feng Bao nodded, the rest of the things would be fine, he turned to Xu Jue, and even gave his niece to Xu Jue as a concubine. Therefore, if Zhang Whale was behind the design of this matter, he felt that it was more credible than what Zhang Cheng did!

"Mr. He shouldn't want to stay in the treacherous land of Jingshi, right?"

"That's nature." He Xinyin bowed his head slightly, and then said, "To be honest, I visited so many people with great fanfare in the past two days, just because I was afraid that someone would want to kill them. But even so, it is not the first time that someone has been drugged in the diet. ”

As he spoke, he pouted at the plate of mung bean cakes on the table that had not been moved, and then he smiled and said, "If Grandpa Zhang is interested, you might as well bring this thing back, the medicine mouse thinks it will be very useful." ”

Only then did Zhang Hong realize that He Xinyin has been famous all over the world for many years, not only because of his article knowledge, but also because of his deviant head, and his judgment is also extraordinary. When he found out that Zhang Whale was involved in it, he had a murderous intent in an instant, but now he completely dispelled this year. No matter what is wrong with these celebrities, the emperor can be killed, and the old governor can be killed, but only a celebrant like him can't use this killer - and he is not Feng Bao who does things unscrupulously, there is no need to do this kind of thing for the sake of a bold godson!

Therefore, he immediately said: "Since Mr. He is not happy in Beijing, then I will immediately send someone to send you out of the city." It's just that I also ask Mr. He to understand my difficulties, this one-third of an acre of land in Jingshi, please don't come again in the future. I will naturally deal with the past properly, and no one will endanger your children, nephews and students in the future. Wang Shiqing can also be a witness to this. ”

If it were someone else, he was coerced to the capital like this, and then he was "sent out of the country" like this, he would definitely be furious, but He Xinyin had already passed the age of paying attention to the surface. Lu Guangwu suddenly came to Jingshi, obviously for him, which was beyond his expectations, and Wang Fulin actually found Zhang Hong, a big man who has real power and is more practical in speaking and doing things, which moved him even more. You must know that the scholars and doctors in these years can secretly write epitaphs for those eunuchs, but in person, they are all high-sounding and demarcated with people, and Wang Fulin exposed this relationship to him, which can be described as sincere.

Since he has fundamentally solved his urgent needs, where will he still worry about the details, and immediately said in a deep voice: "I didn't want to set foot in the land of right and wrong in Beijing, and after I go, it will naturally be indefinite." ”

"That's good." Zhang Hong didn't imagine the possibility that He Xinyin and Wang Fulin conspired to deceive him, but things have developed to this point, Feng Bao has completely pointed the finger at Zhang Siwei, and the possibility of fake Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale should only be known by himself, plus He Xinyin's various details about the meeting are very true, so he has already believed eighty percent. At this time, he quietly walked out of the inn, waited for the carriage, and watched the people who watched him send He Xinyin's master and servant to a dusty carriage and send them to Fuchengmen, and he should be able to leave the city at dawn, and he knew that he should not have to worry about things here.

After all, the person on duty at Fuchengmen was the younger brother of Xu Hou, the eunuch of Shangshan, who went out under his door, even in this stormy city, how could he not stop his people.

He can leave He Xinyin and Zhang Whale to confront him, he can take He Xinyin out, make the whole thing public, and then suppress the matter that has not yet broken out, but just like the difference between the first assistant and the second assistant, there is also an insurmountable barrier between him, the master of ceremonies, Bingbi, and Feng Bao, the master of ceremonies. Since Feng Bao had vowed to investigate to the end in front of him, he could only try his best to control the matter within the scope of his control, so He Xinyin was unwilling to get involved, which was actually better.

"Send the plate of mung bean cake that was cleaned up in the inn before to Zhang Whale, and tell him by the way that he doesn't have to bother anymore at the Blessed Inn."

When the elder who had followed him for thirty years went with the order and quietly returned to the private house, Zhang Hong thought about it again and again, and felt that since He Xinyin would find Wang Fulin for help, presumably if he left this time, Wang Fulin would naturally get the news, so after thinking about it, he did not order anyone to send a letter to Liu Wanfeng, the official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, for the time being-in the case that the previous channel was no longer very safe, the less such a contact the better. When he sent a number of people to confuse his ears and eyes, he disguised himself as an old servant and returned to the private house through the back door alone.

In the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Wang Fulin, who had been woken up many times in one night, still failed to make up for his sleep, and early in the morning, he was woken up by a knock on the door. When he was sleepy-eyed, he pulled his shoes to open the door, and found that Zheng Yougui was holding a food box in one hand, a small wooden barrel with a lid in the other, and blue circles under his eyes. Although he sympathized with the white-clothed bookstore who was unlucky enough to be implicated because of himself, he didn't sleep well all night, and of course he was in a bad mood at this time, let alone a good tone.

"What the hell is going on?"

Of course, Zheng Yougui knew where Wang Fulin's annoyance came from, in fact, he quarreled with the master of the road twice last night, and then he didn't toss and turn after returning to the room, but slept in a groggy night until dawn, but when he got up, he had a splitting headache, and he knew that he was afraid that he had fallen into some kind of trick. However, he didn't dare to think about what kind of article was hidden behind it.

At this moment, he saw Wang Fulin's dark circles and sleepiness that could not be concealed, and hurriedly lowered his head and said tremblingly: "Master Dao, there are people from your family outside to deliver things." It was said that you were on duty at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I specially sent you a good breakfast, and someone sent it to the door, and the small one went to pick it up in person. ”

Although Wang Fulin's reputation as a foodie is now quite famous in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and his own chef is racking his brains all day long, Wang Fulin doesn't think that in such a big morning, Xiaobei will send someone to send early condolences. Even in today's weather, without special thermal insulation measures, if he really sent something from home, it would have been cold on the way, and besides, he would have been here for two more nights at most. He rubbed his face vigorously with his hands to dispel the drowsiness, and then ordered, "Bring it in and put it on the table." ”

Zheng Yougui hurriedly entered the house and put down the food box and wooden barrel, but he didn't dare to open the lid, which was also a rule he had learned from other officials a long time ago - in fact, when he took something and brought it in, he didn't dare to look at what was inside, after all, what if the Wang family sent something other than earlier? After he diligently waited for Wang Fulin to wash, he saw that he went to open the lid of the food box by himself, and he was about to retreat quietly, but he didn't expect Wang Fulin to greet directly: "This bag of walnut cake, you take it back and share it with others." ”

"Thank you, Master." Zheng Yougui knew that there was this, that is, Wang Fulin really didn't care about last night's incident, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the big bag of snacks, and then went out lightly.

As soon as the people left, Wang Fulin took out the plates and bowls in the food box one by one, and sure enough, he found a piece of paper pressed under the bowl on the bottom layer. On the paper is Xiaobei's handwriting, at first glance, it seems that his wife is complaining that he hasn't come home for two days in a row, so he sent snacks to condole, but he casually said that an elder he knew at home returned home from Beijing early in the morning, and he was immediately relieved.

He Xinyin can be regarded as leaving! And since he is an insider, Zhang Hong is not the kind of eunuch who cares about people's lives, so he should not do things that kill people!

Even if it was just a seemingly ordinary letter to his family, since it was still early and most of the imperial historians had not yet arrived at the Imperial Procuratorate, he simply burned the letter, crushed the ashes finely, and scattered them evenly around the house, completely "destroying the corpses", and then went to wash his hands and enjoy his breakfast. Although they are all dry snacks that don't matter if they are cold, after all, they are carefully made by the chef according to his taste, and the cold bean curd in the wooden barrel is tender and refreshing, even if there is no sugar and no chili oil is used to enhance the flavor, but it also has a unique flavor. And when he filled his stomach in one go, his sleepiness was finally reduced a lot.

At this point, he was able to settle down and think about what to do next. After all, Gao Gong's arbitrariness and domineering are already in the past, and Gao Gong has not served as the first assistant for a long time, people compare Zhang Juzheng's arbitrariness over the years, clamping down on the way, but will sympathize with Gao Gong, and even miss Gao Gong. Therefore, if Zhang Siwei was squeezed out of the cabinet because of Gao Gong's manuscript, or if he was ordered to stay idle like Gao Gong back then, he would attract the sympathy of others, and he would be pushed out by the so-called Shilin Qingliu to make a comeback in the future.

Although he also hopes that Zhang Siwei will fall, but when he thinks of this, Zhang Siwei may be able to brush up on the achievement of enduring humiliation and being expelled unjustly, and the pair of Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao will definitely be secretly sprayed again and may even be sprayed on the surface ten thousand times, he does not plan to do it. To deal with people like Zhang Siwei, if you don't kill them with a stick, you will have endless troubles!

In addition, there is a very important question, who was the person who tested himself through Zheng Yougui last night?

But no matter what, the next step is to rely on yourself.

After a while, he met with the trial history of the next head, and after summarizing the official affairs of the day, he withdrew from everyone and called Zheng Yougui to come, only to ask about last night's incident, but he saw Hu Quan, the official outside, probing his brain, and immediately drank it.

"Hu Quan, what's the matter with me so early?"

Hu Quan was suddenly a little stunned, and hurriedly appeared and stepped over the threshold into the house, and then he said cautiously: "Master Zhangdao, it was Lord Zongxian who ordered the little one to invite you in." ”

Wang Fulin, as the head of the imperial history, is commonplace to enter and exit the main hall of Director Chen Wei on weekdays, and at this moment, he immediately realized that Hu Quan's attitude was a little unusual, and immediately asked: "What, what's the matter?" ”

Hu Quan couldn't help but glance outside, and saw that Zheng Yougui immediately retreated quickly and wisely, he still didn't dare to guarantee whether someone was peeping or eavesdropping, so he simply took a few steps forward, and then said in a very low voice: "Early in the morning, the father-in-law in the palace came to see Lord Zongxian in person. That father-in-law was not the one who promised to follow him when he came out and walked around, but the eunuch Sun Desheng Sun's father-in-law. I heard a sentence from afar, saying that something seemed to have happened to Zhang Ge Lao last night, and he was actually sick. ”
