Chapter 838: A Visitor at Night

On this night, Wang Fu Lin stayed in the straight room of the Imperial History of Guangdong Road in the Metropolitan Inspection Academy.

Since many affairs of Canton Road have been on the right track, and the five imperial histories have done their duty, he has rarely used the diligent way of being on duty to improve his popularity. However, recently, the situation in the DPRK and China has been treacherous, and He Xinyin has been brought into the capital again, although the manuscript has been taken off, but since he asked Lu Guangwu to send a letter to Zhang Hong in the palace, he handed over the family and He Xinyin's side to Xiaobei, and he decided to stay in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for a few days and nights. And Cheng Naixuan originally planned to help in vain, but he was persuaded by him in a few words, and pressed someone to pretend to be sick at home.

After all, the thousand-step corridor that is not in front of the imperial city, nor the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the palace, can be regarded as a place where you can get news and be in a safe place! Unlike the six branch straight rooms directly in the palace, if something happens, it is equivalent to being trapped in the palace.

In the middle of the night, Wang Fulin was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door outside. He sat up almost as a carp, and after almost hitting his head, he realized that he was in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, not at home. When he found that the knock on the door was getting more and more urgent, as well as Zheng Yougui's familiar voice, he shouted in a deep voice: "No need to knock, I'll come." ”

At this time, he had already noticed that it should not be Zhang Hong. If this eunuch came to meet him, it would be impossible for him to alarm the rest of the people in the Imperial Court.

When he opened the door, he saw Zheng Yougui almost curled up and squatting there knocking on the door, and when he saw him, he actually got up with a bullet and flashed into the house. He glanced out a little puzzled, and saw that it was quiet outside, not like something big had happened, he couldn't help frowning, turned his head to look at Zheng Yougui and asked, "In the middle of the night, what's going on with you?" ”

"Master of the Lord...... The little one couldn't sleep for a while, so he walked to the front, but when he got to the gate, he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, and there were still a lot of people, so he looked at the crack in the door, and the result was ......" Zheng Yougui swallowed hard, and then stammered, "The little one saw two teams of brocade guards running through the street, and there were at least sixty or seventy people. ”

Wang Fulin's heart suddenly suddenly, but his face was very impatient and asked, "Are you really right?" It's not the Xicheng Terracotta Division, but the Jinyi Guard? How could there be a brocade guard in the middle of the night! ”

"The costume of the captain of the brocade coat is different." Zheng Yougui was afraid that Wang Fulin would not believe it, so he hurriedly explained, "The small one is a native of Beijing, and the people in the factory guard have only seen it once or twice, but this is at night, and the Xicheng Terracotta Division definitely does not have such an arrogant momentum." Master of the Dao, you have to believe that the small one, the small one is not nonsense! ”

Seeing that Zheng Yougui knelt down as he spoke, Wang Fulin suddenly shouted angrily: "Okay, get up!" Don't think about it so much, even if the Jinyi Guard is dispatched at night, since he didn't come to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, what is there to worry about? When the sky falls, there is a tall man on top of it, and it is not necessary for me, the head of the imperial history, to get up immediately and urgently do official business, what is there to worry about? Go back and get a good night's sleep, and don't rush to knock on the door again. ”

Unexpectedly, Wang Fulin looked like he had nothing to do with himself, Zheng Yougui hesitated, but finally got up, but turned around and went out step by step. Seeing that the door of the straight room was closed again, and then there was Wang Fulin's yawn, and then it seemed to be the footsteps of slowly walking back to sleep, he waited until there was no movement in the room, and then quickly returned to his office, pushed the door open, and knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, according to what you said, go to report to the master of the master that there is a large group of brocade guards outside, but the master of the master doesn't care much, and now he has closed the door and gone back to sleep." ”

Seeing that the man in black sitting in the room didn't seem to have any reaction, Zheng Yougui was so anxious that he was about to cry, and kowtowed two more times, but he didn't forget to lower his voice: "The little ones you ordered have already been done, and please be kind and kind, don't let the little family members go......"

"That's enough, this matter is over, if you dare to reveal half a word, be careful of your head."

After saying this, the man actually got up, walked out of the house with brisk steps, and disappeared into the middle of the night.

Seeing that this person was finally gone, Zheng Yougui suddenly collapsed to the ground. After this mysterious person who came and went without a trace appeared, he threatened the lives of his uncle's family and asked him to say something to Wang Fulin. If it was really unfavorable to Wang Fulin, he naturally couldn't take revenge, but since it was such an inexplicable order, the lesser of two evils, of course he had to save the lives of his relatives at home.

But now that the person has left, he thought about it for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, quietly probed outside the door and looked around, making sure that the other party really didn't stay to spy on him, and then came to Wang Fulin's straight room again and knocked on the door.

This time, Wang Fulin came to open the door much faster than when he knocked on the door the last time. This time, he stumbled into the door with a vague underfoot, but he knelt down with a thud and hugged Wang Fulin's thigh: "Master Zhangdao, the little one was forced to tell a lie just now, and those words were coerced by others......"

Hearing that Zheng Yougui was like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, Wang Fulin was silent for a while, and then he patted the shoulder of the white-clothed bookstore with a smile: "It's a big night, maybe someone is playing a prank and a joke to scare you, and by the way, it's not worth making a fuss." When it gets dark, I'll send someone to your house to have a look. If it's okay, you just act like nothing happened, don't shout around, you don't have to go back and get into trouble or be laughed at, you know? ”

"But ......," Zheng Yougui instinctively felt that this was not the case. However, since Wang Fulin has made a decision, he has no part in questioning his little white-clothed secretary, but he doesn't dare to go back to his house to live in now, so he cautiously asked: "Can the little one stay in the master's room?" The small ones don't need to be laid on the floor, so they can sleep on the floor. ”

"If you don't care if you're seen and gossip is everywhere, then it's up to you."

Wang Fulin stretched his waist and threw out these words noncommittally, and when he went to bed and pulled the tent and lay down, he saw Zheng Yougui quietly crawling into the crack of the door and looking out, looking like he was palpitating, but in the end he still went out, and he could immediately conclude that what this person said just now was all the truth. He felt that Zheng Yougui would go to the front door in the middle of the night with insomnia, and he happened to see some brocade guards haunting, which was really ridiculous and funny, but he really didn't expect that someone was using his family to blackmail this guy to say this. However, what is the reason for tossing a small person so hard to say such things to himself?

Could it be that he asked Lu Guangwu to venture to Tianqing Temple for the second time to send a secret letter to Zhang Hong to invite him to meet, and the news leaked? Or maybe the news leaked from the first secret letter, and someone came to test him?

I can't figure it out for a while, so I don't want to think about it for the time being, when Wang Fulin is in line with such a purpose, he doesn't bother to close the door, and when he goes to bed like this, and falls asleep in a daze, I don't know how long it will take, he once again caught a very soft knock on the door. Three times twice in the middle of the night, someone didn't intend to let him sleep well, and he was not without annoyance, so he simply got out of bed, strode to the door, and opened the door. However, the scolding that came to his lips choked back after seeing the man outside the door.

Zhang Hong really came in person!

Thinking about it this way, he seemed to be surprised when he spoke: "Grandpa Zhang, why are you?" ”

Zhang Hong didn't care about Wang Fulin's middle coat, seeing that he was uncomfortable and turned sideways, he went straight into the house, and when he saw that there was not even a light in the room, he didn't bother to sit down, so he said bluntly: "What, didn't you send a letter to the palace saying that there was an urgent matter to ask to see me?" Could it be that someone else is looking for you on this big night? ”

Wang Fulin knew from Zhang Hong's tone that the one just now was not the handiwork of this person, so he took it as if he was joking, and told the reason why Zheng Yougui knocked on the door twice before and after.

What he said seemed to be an understatement, but Zhang Hong only felt awe-inspiring when he heard it, but thinking that it was the second time he had come here to find Wang Fulin, and the first secret letter had changed hands many times, if he hadn't taken the initiative to discuss with Feng Bao immediately, even if the letter did not reveal any conspiracy, Feng Bao might have pursued it vigorously - who didn't know that Feng Bao's taboo was Gao Gong - he realized that as Zhang Juzheng's henchman, Wang Fulin has always been the most troublesome Wang Fulin, and it is not surprising that others will come to test him.

After a moment of silence, he spoke, "No wonder some people doubt you. The channel I asked Zhang Feng to convey to you seems to have fallen under the surveillance of Feng Shuanglin's people. Fortunately, your first secret letter was really cleverly written, and you actually sued yourself, otherwise you would have been caught by Feng Shuanglin. I directly showed Feng Shuanglin your secret letter before, and the matter has passed the clear road, but he will not know that the person who sent the letter is you. ”

Even if Wang Fulin prepared in advance, he was afraid that there would be something wrong with Zhang Hong's channel to send letters to the palace, but if he was really sure that there was a problem, he still couldn't help but secretly complain that the intelligence channel in these years was really unreliable. You must know that he asked Cheng Naixuan to toss such a pass at that time, and he didn't mumble, but if it weren't for this, his letter with a high-arch manuscript would be sent in, even if it didn't seem to be a complaint against Zhang Siwei, it was also a complaint against Zhang Siwei, and it was easiest for people to see the flaws. At this moment, he simply stared at Zhang Hong dumbfounded.

You've got to give me an explanation, right? Such a seemingly safe path will go wrong, so I dare to contact you in the future?

Zhang Hong naturally knew what Wang Fulin meant, his old face was slightly red, but it was not easy to say that Feng Bao was in charge of the factory guard, even if he was in a high position, he had to be cautious, so he could only cough dryly and said: "If there is anything in the future, you will find Liu Wanfeng, the official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." He's my distant nephew, and no one else knows about it. He was personally planted here by me, and my wife and children are all in my hands, and I will send my closest confidants to fetch them at that time, so that there will be no mistakes like that again. If you don't feel at ease, you can continue to cover it up with the same means you did last time. ”

Excuse me, I won't contact you if it's okay, lest I sell myself! Wang Fulin thought so in his heart, but he still nodded solemnly on his face.

"Today I happened to go out of the palace and return to my private house, and I received your secret letter. I know that you definitely have something important, but this channel has already been investigated, so I instructed the person in the old mansion who had always been my stand-in to go to a commanding officer under Liu Shouyou, so that even if that end was detected, it would not be exposed to flaws. I can't stay too long, just tell me if you have anything. ”

"Does my father-in-law know where the manuscript of Gaoxin Zheng Gong that I attached to my previous secret letter came from?"

Zhang Hong is not a stupid person, how could he believe the so-called coincidence that Wang Fulin said in the secret letter before, now that Wang Fulin is willing to say it, he squinted his eyes and asked: "Could it be you......"

"It's not me, my hand isn't as long as Xinzheng. It was Songjiang Xu Hua Tinggong, and Zhang's father-in-law knew that he and Gao Xinzheng were mortal enemies. ”

Is it Xu Jie's staring at the high arch? That's right, to say that Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong are enemies of life and death, but Xu Jie and Gao Gong are also enemies of life and death, Gao Gong instigated Hai Rui to collect so much fertile land from Xu Jie's family, and confiscated the two sons of the Xu family! If it weren't for Zhang Juzheng who replaced Gao Gong as the first assistant and helped, Xu Jie's two sons were afraid that they would still be struggling in front of the army at this time, and they wouldn't be able to get it back at all!

Seeing that Zhang Hong bowed slightly, obviously believing this answer, Wang Fulin continued: "I have no friendship with the Xu family, but I know the one sent to Xinzheng by the Xu family. That person robbed Zhang Siwei's people by chance of taking the manuscript from the Gao family, and then, he had already brought things to the Xu family in Songjiang, and he didn't know who was so powerful that he noticed the role of the Xu family in it, coerced and lured the second son of the Xu family, confessed the one who went to Xinzheng, and coerced people to go to the capital. When the two sides met, the coerced person showed up and said to the one who ran errands for the Xu family but was sold that he was Zhang Cheng, the eunuch of the internal official and the eunuch who was in charge of the seal. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Hong only felt as if a thunderbolt exploded above his head. The reason why he was able to watch this farce with a cold eye was because he was sure that everything had nothing to do with him. Although Wang Fulin was only the second time he had seen alone, he knew that Wang Fulin had a weak foundation in Beijing and was a rising star, so he should have only gained insight into some movements, so he hurriedly reported to himself, so as not to really stir up the situation, but now, Wang Fulin told him that he had personally gone to the drum room, and Zhang Cheng, who was the first to fish out, had something to do with it!

Just when his eyes suddenly turned sharp, Wang Fulin said to him very sincerely: "However, Father-in-law Zhang should know, not to mention the one invited by the Xu family, it is me, as a foreign minister, I don't know Father-in-law Zhang Cheng very well. ”

Zhang Hong only felt that the heart hanging in his throat suddenly fell. He pondered for a while, and finally spoke: "Who is the one invited by the Xu family?" ”
