"Oh, I wonder why this brother said this?" Zhang Ru touched his nose and said lightly.

In fact, he was on guard in his heart, because the appearance of this person completely disrupted his plan, and he didn't even know what the other party would do next.

At the beginning, he made all the arrangements, just to make a few officials submit in the court, and wait until he was declared innocent, and then play the trick of settling accounts with the queen of autumn.

But as soon as this person appeared, it was a little difficult for him to get out now, let alone settle accounts after the autumn.

Seeing this person, Wang Qi's eyes lit up, and he didn't know where he got the strength to stand up from the chair, and shouted very flatteringly with small steps: "Childe." ”

Zhang Ru's face was full of surprise, who could make Wang Qi, a Shangshu, so respectful in front of so many people. In his memory, it seems that there is really no such person in the palace.

The white-clothed young man nodded slightly, and arched his hand towards Zhang Ru: "It's not just a cloth cloth, but you can't afford to be a brother of a chaotic minister and thief like Lord Zhang." ”

As soon as this person came up, he positioned him as a chaotic minister and thief, which made all the Jinyi guards, including Mu Bin, unconvinced. However, Zhang Ru did not give an order, and they did not dare to act rashly.

Zhang Ru's face remained unchanged, and he asked calmly: "I don't understand why Brother Tai said that Zhang is a rebellious minister and thief." ”

The young man in white opened the folding fan and paced slowly while fanning the wind: "The general is the general of the Ming Dynasty, who guards the sky at a young age, and the nine sides are heavy, and the most chaotic places are Datong and the two towns of Liaodong. The general went to Datong first, killed Xu Ning, the chief soldier of Datong, and installed his cronies. Then he moved to Liaodong, forced the veteran Gu Qian to surrender, and finally almost killed Wu Qian in public, isn't it a chaotic minister and thief? ”

"Hearsay is not to be believed. This gentleman can go to the border pass, can you know how fierce the border soldiers are? Zhang has more than 100 brocade guards, and he can control hundreds of thousands of border troops, could it be that Mr. Zhang Ru is a saint? Zhang Ru is neither humble nor arrogant.

The young man in white suddenly put away the folding fan, his sword eyebrows stretched, and his eyes shone brightly: "What you said is quite reasonable, but it seems that you are not the chief judge, and it will be useless for you to follow the subordinates." ”

Zhang Ru narrowed his eyes and said: "I didn't want to tell you so much, but seeing that a few ministers had no intention of asking a person who trespassed into the court, Zhang had no choice but to regard this bold son of unknown origin as the chief judge." ”

The young man in white laughed softly: "I have long heard that Zhang Ru of the East Palace is an arrogant and unreasonable person, and when I see it today, it is really better to meet than to be famous!" In the next Mu Qing tea, this is polite. ”

The so-called people who don't stretch out their hands and don't hit smiling faces, this Mu Qingcha changed his face suddenly, and ordinary people would definitely say a few polite words without embarrassment. But Zhang Ru is not an ordinary person, he didn't have so many scruples, and said disdainfully: "Ben General doesn't care if you are tea or spirits, this is above the court, and it is not something that you can easily disturb with a white coat." Did you go down on your own, or would you have someone ask you to go down? ”

Mu Qingcha's smile remained unchanged: "Master Zhang said so, of course he went down by himself." ”

With that, he walked out of the court with brisk steps. However, he did not leave like this, but glanced at Wang Qi, and then stood at the front of the crowd and watched quietly.

Wang Qi returned to his position and sat down, Xu was the arrival of Mu Qingcha that gave him confidence, and he asked the officials of the Shuntian Mansion to take Zhang Ru into prison without saying a word.

This time, the Jinyi guards no longer stopped, and they all saw the chill on their own adults' faces.

Quietly followed the official to the prison of the Criminal Department, and the officials of the Criminal Department who did not dare to offend him specially arranged a clean single cell for him.

There was nothing else in the cell, just two new bundles of straw, and there was not even a place to go out of the cell.

The door of the cell was made of stainless steel, and the arm-thick iron railing could not be opened even by a giant like Fan Tong, and the gap in the middle was only one foot, and it was difficult for even a person who was proficient in collarbone skills to get out of this gap.

Entering the cell, Zhang Ru sat cross-legged on the straw, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he was looking at the surrounding environment.

The surrounding cells have been emptied, and it can be said that he is alone in the deepest part of the prison of the Criminal Department.

Boredom, he leaned against the wall and drifted off to sleep.

After Zhang Ru was escorted away, the people of Jinyiwei also dispersed, and Mu Qingcha slowly walked on the street, followed by Wang Qi, who soon came in disguise.

The two walked into a garment shop one after the other, Mu Qingcha pretended to pick up a fine Suzhou brocade and looked at it, the silky feel was good, but the workmanship was slightly rough. Obviously, the material in this inadvertently imported garment store is not the best Jiangnan silk.

"You didn't do this well enough." Mu Qingcha looked at the material while taking care of himself.

Wang Qi trotted all the way, didn't care about sweating profusely, and hurriedly said: "Son, forgive me, I really didn't expect this Zhang Ru to make so many preparations." He flatly denied those testimonies, he didn't look at the evidence, and even the witnesses retracted their confessions at a critical time. ”

"You should know that the princess has put so much effort and mobilized so many people, and she is determined to get rid of Donggong's arm. But your incompetence has made the princess's hard work go to waste. You say, what should this son say in front of the princess? Qingcha squinted his eyes, a small piece of his cheeks was slightly convex, and he secretly bit his back molars.

Wang Qi came to his side, took out a Daming treasure banknote from his sleeve without a trace and stuffed it into Mu Qingcha's hand, and said with a sneer: "Princess, please wait for a few kind words for me." This time, it's really no wonder that his subordinates, I really didn't expect that Zhang Ru to make sufficient preparations. ”

Mu Qingcha quietly stuffed the treasure money into his sleeve, and his face softened slightly: "Lao Wang, it's not that my son said you, the three of you are all old fritters, all of you are ministerial-level figures, and you were played around by a young man who has not yet reached the crown." Why do you think he Zhang Ru is in Liaodong and refuses to move? It's just to prepare, and since he dares to come back, it means that he is ready.

The princess can help you say a good thing for you, can she still help you say a good thing for a lifetime?

If this matter is done as soon as possible, it must be done in an iron case, whether you are framed or framed, this son does not care! Since Zhang Ru was put in the prison of the Criminal Department, it is best not to let him out for the rest of his life. ”

Wang Kai's face was about to turn into a bitter melon, and he said in his heart that it was easy for you to say, if I made this matter an iron case, Jinyiwei's grandsons would not have to peel me and cramp.

But he could only think about this kind of thing in his heart, and he would never dare to say it.

Zhang Ru and Jin Yiwei have bad tempers, and the gentle-looking tea boy in front of him doesn't seem to be a good-tempered person.

At this point, he nodded and agreed to buy time for himself.

Although this order was reluctant, Mu Qingcha was very satisfied, and he gently put down the silk in his hand: "This kind of silk, send ten horses to my son to Nanlu Manor." ”

After he finished speaking, he raised his feet and left, and the person who paid the bill was naturally the Lord Wang Qiwang who came up stupidly.

Who would have thought that a book would become a little minion who is in debt for others.

Wang Qi, who returned home, pondered and meditated, and couldn't think of a good way to deal with Zhang Ru. He knew the strength of Jinyiwei, when the West Factory was rampant in the world, and before Wang Zhizhuan favored the Holy Driver, only one Jinyiwei and a cabinet had the ability to compete with the West Factory.

Now the West Factory is gone, but Jinyiwei is still there.

There are still many people in Dongchang, but looking at Liang Fang's appearance of dying and constantly angry, you can know that he intends to protect himself in this matter. Even if the court saw the iron plate of Dongchang, Wang Qi had no intention of making trouble for Liang Fang. In this world, villains and women are the most unoffended, but the most unoffended are eunuchs.

Zhang Ru is the former, he is an out-and-out real villain, and he will never play tricks to kill you; The one behind Mu Qingcha was a real woman, and a woman full of hatred; And Liang Fang seems to be the most harmless of the three, but in fact the most unoffended.

Jin Yiwei has no constraints, and with His Majesty's trust, he can naturally be domineering.

Not to mention that he is only the secretary of the Criminal Department now, even if he Wang Qi is already the first assistant of the cabinet, it is still easy to find Jin Yiwei if he really wants to find his feet.

Known as the pervasive guard of the Ming Dynasty, that is not for fun.

It is basically impossible for the so-called human and material evidence to make Zhang Ru submit, and it will not be allowed to let Zhang Ru willingly sign and draw the pledge if he is tried clearly.

Without the drawing, everything could not be decided, and even if the case was decided, the people of Jinyiwei would not be convinced, which put Wang Wei in a dilemma.

"Tuk-tuk."

A soft knock on the door pulled him back from his thoughts: "Come in." ”

A seductive woman gently pushed open the door, holding a plate with a teacup on top of it. The woman pursed her red lips and frowned lightly: "Master, let's drink ginseng tea!" ”

This woman is the fourteenth concubine of Wang Qi, and she has good means, and basically he lives in this woman's room every night.

Wang Qi frowned and said, "You go out first!" I'll be quiet. ”

The woman put down the tea tray, and sat on Wang Qi's body with a spin, and gently grinded it in a fat place, Wang Yan couldn't help but hum softly.

"Why is the master worried?" The woman showed a hint of a smile, and her white fingers drew circles on the chest of Wang Qi, who was over half a hundred years old.

Wang Qi sighed: "There are bodhisattvas on both sides who can't be provoked, and the old man really doesn't know what to do." ”

Under the woman's soft grinding and hard bubbles, he actually told him everything he knew.

The woman chuckled: "The master is really a mediocre person, isn't that Zhang Ru in the prison of the Criminal Department now!" This criminal department is full of people, and if you want to kill a person, it's not a very simple thing! ”

Wang Qi pushed the woman away and scolded angrily: "Presumptuous, don't mention this matter again, get out." ”
