Chapter 456: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

"Yongzhen, don't be stupid!"

Deng Wentong was taken aback, and said in his heart that if Zhang Ke really made a mistake, not all such a big foundation would be ruined! 100,000 troops, millions of living beings, that's the sky falling!

Wu Boyan also hurriedly said: "Grandpa Guo, if you are not polite, let's transfer 30,000 elite soldiers from Liaodong, plus 10,000 sailors, and take the capital directly, and the big guy will keep you as the emperor, ascend the throne and sit in the palace, change the dynasty, I see who dares to say more!" How did that sentence come about, let those who follow me live and those who oppose me die, let the dog emperor cry! ”

"Shut up!"

Zhang Ke smiled slightly: "I, Zhang Yongzhen, am not a foolish and filial person, but you all think about it clearly, did the emperor order it?" ”

"Isn't it?" Wu Boyan asked in surprise: "Isn't there Li Shi's suicide note, is it still fake?" ”

"Of course there is a fake!" Zhang Ke said: "Li Shi is just a crazy eunuch, whether he is really crazy or pretending to be crazy, who will hand over big things to him?" Besides, Li Shi is really capable, as for being frightened crazy by the chaos instigated by the Zhou family? At that time, Benjue didn't go south, so he couldn't set a trap for me! ”

After a few words, everyone present fell silent. Zhang Ke was assassinated, everyone was in chaos, and they couldn't wait to find out the murderer.

"Yongzhen, if it wasn't for the emperor's doing, who do you think would be suspicious?" Deng Wentong asked.

"Hey!" Zhang Ke shook his head: "I didn't say that the emperor was not suspicious, there are too many people who have offended over the years, and there are too many people who want me to die!" We might as well think differently and join me to die, who will get the most benefit? ”

Whoever makes more profit will have a greater likelihood, and everything is based on this analysis, nine times out of ten.

Who did Zhang Ke offend? The emperor counts as one, Jiannu counts as one, the Donglin Party, the Confucian family in Shandong, and the big households in the south of the Yangtze River are really a lot.

Everyone calmed down, Deng Wentong said: "Yongzhen is right, let's analyze the emperor first, we have heavy troops, and Yongzhen is even more powerful." Now the creation of the city and the division of the city, the Jiangnan wealth is in hand, and it is the examination to recruit talents, which is tantamount to destroying the imperial examination of the imperial court. All this, in the eyes of the emperor, is a threat to the imperial power. However, Yongzhen still obeyed the order, and it was also the will of the imperial court to go down to the south of the Yangtze River, plus he had just offered two million taels of silver. Moreover, the Yizhou soldiers were under pressure from Jiannu and Mongolia. Protect the Kyoshi. If Yongzhen is killed, it will inevitably be troubled internally and externally, and the emperor does not even have a usable force in his hands, unless he doesn't want the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, I shouldn't have done it to Yongzhen! ”

After listening to this analysis, Wu Boyan couldn't help but say: "Lord Deng, can you tell you everything, is it the emperor or not?" ”

"The slave family doesn't think it's like it!" Fang Yunqing suddenly spoke. Everyone was shocked.

Zhang Ke looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of encouragement. Fang Yunqing paused and said, "Lord Deng has analyzed the motive. It also depends on the strength, the imperial court decree can't reach Jiangnan at all, otherwise it wouldn't have been because of taxation and because of the arrest of Zhou Shunchang, there would be a popular uprising. And then there is this assassination, more than half of them are Japanese robbers, and the horizontal court wants to kill people, so they won't use them! ”

"That's reasonable!"

Deng Wentong pondered for a moment and said: "Miss Fang's thinking is very good, we might as well deduce from the Japanese Kou, who can use the Japanese Kou!" ”

"Jiangnan big family!"

Wu Boyan blurted out, he slapped his head fiercely, and said regretfully: "I'm really confused, I just fought a food war, and the eleven families were damaged, and they definitely want to take revenge." These people are also engaged in smuggling, and they have close contacts with the pirates, and it is not a problem to get dozens of pirates. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Boyan hurriedly surrendered his hand to ask for an order.

"Grandpa Guo, if you are lowly and you are going to arrest the representatives of the eleven families, torture you to extract confessions, and you must find out the murderer!"

"Wait!" Zhang Ke's face was gloomy, and he coughed twice, "Frizzy, how can you do big things?" Use your brains well, the eleven families are now connected to our interests, without Benjue, can they keep the city? There is no army in charge, as long as one of the ministers plays the book together, the city department will be closed. Most of the people in the eleven families are economic animals, even if they hate Benjue's past actions, but the huge profits are in front of them, will they be stupid enough to kill themselves? ”

"This ......"

Everyone was asked by Zhang Ke again, although the eleven big families were suspicious, they didn't look like the main culprits, and the rest of the Jiannu, the Kong family, Donglin, etc., were either without motive or strength, and they didn't look like the black hands who arranged the assassination. All of a sudden, the big guys were immersed in thought, and they had no clue.

……

"Yongzhen, otherwise, I'll torture the few assassins I have caught, and see what useful clues can be pulled out of their mouths!"

Zhang Ke nodded and said, "Brother-in-law, the murderer has used so many assassins, he must have been planning to put me to death." Without the news of my death, they would not have been reconciled. I simply fulfilled them and spread the news that I was poisoned and unconscious, and the doctor was rescuing me, and my life was hanging by a thread. ”

"Wonderful!"

Wu Boyan suddenly smiled and said: "Grandpa Guo, you are really tall, if you say that you are fine, they will only hide and prepare for the next assassination, if you cheat to death, and mess up our formation, if you want to die, you will die, you will die, the people behind must be itching in their hearts, desperately trying to listen to the truth and ensure that they are exposed!" ”

"Well, you guys go down and arrange it first, I'm going to be quiet."

After sending everyone away, Zhang Ke did not rest, but fell into deep thought.

Whoever has the motive to kill himself, who has the ability to mobilize the pirates!

There are not many people who have these two at the same time, in other words, the scope of the black hand is not difficult to delineate, it should be in Jiangnan!

"Yunqing, who do you say I am in the way, and who hates me the most in this Jiangnan!"

Fang Yunqing gently massaged Zhang Ke's temples, her eyes turned back and forth, and she said slowly: "Grandpa Guo, you have mainly done three things in Jiangnan, you have offended the big families by collecting taxes, the city has offended the smuggling maritime merchants, and as for the recruitment of talents for the examination, you have offended the scholars. However, the big families have benefited from the city, and they should hate and love you! As for the scholars, although they speak loudly, they have low eyes and skills, and they can't do anything big, let alone have the ability to assassinate you. ”

"Hahaha, the answer is obvious, that is, the maritime merchants who make a living by smuggling, only they are the biggest victims of the city, but they are in contact with the Japanese Kou, and it is not difficult to raise some samurai under their hands!" Zhang Ke smiled: "Yunqing, I didn't see it, you are still a female Zhuge ah!" ”

"Master, the female Zhuge didn't dare to be it, but the slave family was in Jiangnan in the early years, and he managed the fleet under you, so he had an idea. It's just that these people are not easy to catch! The southeastern clans are more or less engaged in smuggling, so it is said that among the eleven families, Ye Yongxin made a living from smuggling. The smuggling of maritime merchants and big households are mixed together, you have me, I have you, and the whole body is involved. If you can't find the black hand accurately, you act rashly, I'm afraid you will ruin the city! ”

"Well, you're right, but these people are wolves in sheep's clothing, and sooner or later things will be bad, and if they are not for personal vendetta, Ben Jue will not let them go. Hehe, don't worry, I have my own way to lure them out! (To be continued......)
