Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Machine Is Deep

Yang Bo was triumphant, thinking that Wen Tiren had borrowed his own strategy to bring down Zhou Yanru, and after he asked the ins and outs of the matter, he couldn't help but be shocked by a white sweat.

Jingshi spread leaflets all over the place overnight, Chongzhen was furious, and after the court panicked, everyone secretly speculated in their hearts, whose hand did this matter come from?

Soon, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Yanru's opponents, and after excluding some characters who could not be on the stage, among the remaining people, the most suspicious one was ---- Wen Tiren!

In the past few years, no matter the streets and alleys, the people in the fields and villages are eagerly talking about this matter, and they have the consciousness and glory of participating in and discussing politics......

Wen Tiren's face was normal, his expression was calm, he still went to court on time, and he also took the time to visit Zhou Yanru, who said that he was sick at home, and some good people found that when Wen Tiren left Zhou's mansion, Zhou Yanru personally sent it outside the gate and waved goodbye.

Wen Tiren asked to send Jinyi Wei to thoroughly investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, and tried his best to defend Zhou Yanru, but at the same time, all the people of Wen Tiren's family died down without any unusual behavior......

Chongzhen was a little surprised, on the surface he said that he would thoroughly investigate the bribery of Shen Yikui, and secretly ordered the Jinyi Wei Ti to ride out, and he went to the east and west factories to search the capital door to door, and he was sure to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

Scattering flyers? This move is too lethal to the imperial court!

However, an accident ignited the fuse that detonated Zhou Yanru, and the surveillance lieutenant Deng Xizhao inexplicably and Cao Wenheng, the governor of Jizhen Town, suddenly pinched each other, and the two wrote to each other, but brought Zhou Yanru in.

Just when everyone in the court speculated about what this matter had to do with the mastermind behind the scenes, Li Chunwang jumped out of the matter, brought up the old matter again, and impeached Zhou Yanru's in-law Chen Yutai for corruption and perversion of the law.

When he retired from the dynasty, Wen Tiren came to visit Zhou Yanru again, and some good people found that this time Zhou Yanru personally sent it three miles away and waved goodbye......

The next day, something eye-catching happened, Wang Kun, the eunuch of Xuanfu, suddenly impeached Zhou Yanru, pointing out that Zhou Yanru was sheltering Chen Yutai, and turned out the old story of Zhou Yanru's corruption and perversion of the law, and everyone in the court dropped their jaws for a while......

A eunuch!

A eunuch actually went up to impeach the first assistant of the court!

It's incredible!

The eunuch participated in the impeachment of the first assistant of the cabinet, which is also a rare thing in the history of the Ming Dynasty, at that time, there was a secretary Li Changgeng and his colleagues asked Chongzhen: "Your Majesty has read ancient and modern history books, can there be a precedent for ministers to participate in the auxiliary ministers?" ”

At this time, the ministers who came to their senses discussed a lot, and most of them defended the first assistant, but Wen Tiren, who was pinned on by Zhou Yanru, counted the ants with his eyes down and said nothing.

Fu Chaoyou was anxious to protect the lord in the matter, he didn't choose what to say, and shouted at the court meeting, "The lieutenant is inappropriate, impeachment is the first to impeach, the court is despised and there are suspected evil people to construct" and so on, the deputy capital Wang Zhidao also shouted a few words, but I don't know why he angered Emperor Chongzhen, Fu Chaoyou didn't have a fart matter, but the unlucky Wang Zhidao was robbed of his official status and was driven out on the spot, Zhou Yanru was shocked when he learned about it, and sat back and watched his henchmen being degraded but did not dare to come to the rescue, in order to test Chongzhen's mind, Zhou Yanru wrote to beg to go, and Chongzhen warmly said to stay.

Although Zhou Yanru is embarrassed, he has been operating for many years, and his henchmen are everywhere, where will he easily admit defeat? Soon, Zhou Yanru and his family jumped out one after another, impeaching the second assistant, impeaching the elder of the pavilion, and impeaching the lieutenant official, all of which were old things, nothing more than to divert everyone's attention and muddy the waters of the court.

The upper lip of the court was arguing, and the undercurrent was surging under the court, and for a while, everyone had a feeling that the wind and rain were coming......

Just when the court was arguing, there was another amazing thing, although Chongzhen had abolished the East and West Factory in three years, but Zhu Youzhen still secretly retained some organizational structure, and a fan of the West Factory made a great contribution.

It was none other than Zhou Yanru's house slave Zhou De'an who distributed the leaflets!

Seeing this, Yang Bo couldn't help but smile, it was very absurd.

Immediately, Zhou Dean was taken to the prison, the three divisions chose to be tried, and Cao Huachun was heard behind the scenes......

Before he could be punished, Zhou Dean consciously confessed that his purpose in doing this was to vent his anger!

Zhou De'an confessed that he had done countless things for Zhou Yanru before and after the saddle, and Zhou Yanru had also promised him a deputy general, but after waiting for many years, he saw that Zhou Wenyu was promoted to deputy general, his younger brother Zhou Suru was promoted to brocade clothes, and his uncle Zhou Renrui was promoted to Zhongshu, and the servants in Yixing's hometown were rampant, clever and robbed, and his son was extremely nourished, but he Zhou Dean was still hopeless, and he betrayed the door in a fit of anger, and shook out Zhou Yanru's ugly things, not only that, but he also submitted a copy of Zhou Yanru's acceptance of bribes from Shen Yikui, Every single one is verified!

As soon as Zhou De'an's confession came out, Jingshi was shaken......

The next day, Zhou De'an confessed that Zhou Yanru had accepted bribes from Governor Liu Yulie, and each of them was verified.

As soon as Zhou De'an's confession came out, everyone nodded secretly in their hearts, no wonder Zhou Yanru tried his best to maintain the governor Liu Yulie, who was the master of Zongkou and lost his troops and land......

On the third day, Zhou Dean confessed that Zhou Yanru instructed Zhou Wenyu, Li Yuangong, Chen Yutai, Zhou Ligong and others to swagger and cheat outside, collect and scrape everywhere, fill their private pockets, etc., every bribe exchange, all the beauties offered are verified!

As soon as Zhou De'an's confession came out, Jingshi couldn't shake, and Chongzhen was really angry......

On the fourth day, Zhou Dean even poked out a big news, which even Chongzhen didn't know.

With the big tree of Zhou Yanru, the Zhou family ran rampant in Yixing's hometown, and the children of the Zhou family and the slaves bullied men and women, exploited the villagers, and acted recklessly, making the chickens and dogs in the county restless. Due to the protection of the county officials, the locals had no way to complain, and the people's anger finally erupted, and the common people carried hoes, "gathered tens of thousands of people, flocked to two families, killed their servants and burned their houses", "sent their first ridges", and dug up the ancestral graves of the Zhou family.

In this era, digging other people's ancestral graves is to kill the head, the local officials did not dare to be arbitrary, and sent people to report to Zhou Yanru, Zhou Yanru knew that he had committed public anger, so Zhou Dean and others rushed to Yixing, found two Zhou family scapegoats, and killed them in front of the people to calm everyone's anger, and finally the matter was over......

As soon as Zhou De'an's confession came out, Chongzhen dropped two inkstones, three vases, and the fourth in his arms, but he was reluctant to fall anymore.

Seeing this, Yang Bo maliciously speculated, could the anger of these people be provoked by someone?

Quite possibly!

Corruption is rampant in the Ming Dynasty, and Qing officials like Wen Tiren who can't bribe the door can be regarded as rare, rare animals, arson slaves, and there are not too many large and small officials in the township, why was he Zhou Yanru dug up his ancestral grave? Could it be that the people of Yixing are more bloody? Thinking of this, Yang Bo couldn't help but smile, he had seen too many conspiracies and tricks, and he felt that his psychology was a lot darker.

On the fifth day, Zhou Dean had no exciting news to confess, but he argued that he was just an inconspicuous one of the many stewards of the Zhou family.

On the sixth day, Zhou De'an, who was full of hope, was suddenly secretly hanged by Chongzhen's order......

After reading it, Yang Bo's tongue didn't retract for a long time, and he admired Wen Tiren's scheming so much, judging from the whole process of Wen Tiren squeezing out Zhou Yanru, every step he took was silent, multi-pronged, and far-reaching, step by step to build momentum, and wait until the high. When the tide comes, the opponent will suddenly find that he has no way out but to honestly accept his fate......

You can't blame Wen Tiren for being vicious, everything was done by Zhou Yanru, and there is evidence, Wen Tiren just turned his ugly things into the sun at the most appropriate time, Zhou Yanru can't refute it if he wants to, Yang Bo doesn't care about Wen Tiren's means, if it weren't for such scheming methods, how could he bring down Zhou Yanru who was backed by the Donglin Party and the Restoration Society?

Fighting poison with poison is the king!

In Yang Bo's opinion, even if one day Huang Taiji, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others suddenly disappear from this era, with the means of Zhou Yanru and others, it will not be long before more Huang Taiji, Zhang Zicheng, Li Xianzhong and others appear, it is nothing more than a matter of time.

Emperor Chongzhen was suspicious, only regarded the eunuch as a family member, and did not trust the foreign ministers, but he gave Wen Tiren an evaluation of "pure loyalty and brightness", and said: "If there is no body benevolence, I will be mistaken"

Everyone thought that Zhou Yanru would call himself sick and beg to save a little face, but he didn't expect Zhou Yanru to be old and strong, after receiving a secret report that Zhou De'an was secretly hanged, he actually picked up his spirit and went back to the court, and Emperor Chongzhen was as gentle as before, as if those things had not happened before.

Yang ** tested, Wen Tiren must still have a back hand, this court battle seems to be like two gladiators in the Colosseum in ancient Rome, Wen Tiren's stormy attack has knocked Zhou Yanru to the ground, and when Zhou Yanru gets up again, when the audience's sympathy disappears, he will finally blow a heavy blow and completely crush Zhou Yanru......

Yang Bo can even predict that it will not be long before Zhou Yanru ends gloomily.

On the 28th, He Jiu urgently reported that Yang Bo was not optimistic about the defeat of Kong Youde in Shuangdao by Huanglong, the son of Li Jiucheng, and 16 people, including Mao Chenglu, Su Yougong, Chen Guangfu, and Gao Zhixiang, were captured, and were sent to Beijing to correct the law, and the head of the nine sides was passed on, and the Dongjiang army won more than 1,000 heads, and the women were not counted......

After receiving the good news, Yang Bo was stunned.
