Chapter 638: Purposeful Entry to the Palace

Liu Chengfeng saw that he couldn't ask anything, but he was not in a hurry, so he immediately called the Wang priest and instructed the Wang priest: "No matter how carefully you interrogate, you have to interrogate something no matter what." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 He lowered his voice, deliberately preventing Zeng Chao, who was kneeling down, from hearing his words, and said to the Wang Si Official: "If nothing can be found in the serious interrogation, let the person go." ”
"Released?" Wang Si is like pouring a basin of ice water on his head, as frustrated as he wants, he can be as depressed as he wants, and he finally caught a person, how can he say that he will let it go?
However, Liu Chengfeng ordered to come down, and the Wang priest didn't want to ask much in this scene, so he had to give up his hand and mention that Zeng Chao to continue to investigate.
As soon as the Wang priest took the people away, Liu Chengfeng's face full of disappointment suddenly became full of interest, Li Dongdong couldn't help but feel strange, obviously this assassin didn't ask anything, but instead of being angry, the grandfather looked happy, which was really a bit counterintuitive, he hurriedly said: "Why is the grandfather laughing?" ”
Liu Chengfeng took a sip of tea first, moistened his throat, and said: "If you have an eyebrow on the case, you should naturally smile." ”
Li Dongdong said: "Please also ask your grandfather to teach me." ”
Liu Chengfeng said: "It's actually very simple. Did you find that this assassin named Zeng Chao claimed to be Suzhou, didn't he? But his official dialect is obviously not the accent of the southerners, but more like the accent of Liaodong or Shandong and Xuanfu. ”
Li Dongdong then remembered the details of Fang Cai, and pondered carefully, Liu Chengfeng's words were indeed not wrong, Fang Cai's attention was on this person's confession, but they didn't pay attention to this person's accent. Now that I think about it, this man's accent is indeed Northland.
"So, this man told a lie, but why did he say that he was from Suzhou?" Li Dongdong was plucked by Liu Chengfeng a little, and immediately remembered something.
Liu Chengfeng looked at him with a smile: "Yes, why did he lie that he was from Suzhou?" If my guess is correct, these Assassins had been instigated before they were assassinated, and what to do if they were caught. These words are by no means something that a headless and brainless man like Zeng Chao can come up with casually, they must be taught by the master behind the scenes. The people behind this scene deliberately taught them to claim to be from Suzhou, in fact, the reason is very simple, the imperial court has repeatedly cracked the case of Mingjiao in recent years, and there are many clues that can show that many backbone elements of Mingjiao are from Suzhou. What does this mean? It means that these people want to blame Mingjiao for the matter, so as to teach us Jinyiwei to focus on Mingjiao. ”
Li Dongdong took a deep breath and said, "Are they deliberately diverting the tiger from the mountain?" ”
Liu Chengfeng nodded and said, "It's not wrong, but if we think about it in this direction, then we can rule out first, these assassins should have nothing to do with the Ming Sect." ”
Li Dongdong nodded his head and said, "My lord is doing the opposite, it seems to make sense to think like this." ”
Liu Chengfeng continued: "If you continue to infer it, this warrior should have nothing to do with Dongchang. Xiao Jing has always been cautious in his work, even if he sent assassins to kill Zhou Cheng and the others, with his strength, he would never let these assassins continue to stay in Jingshi, he only needed to make a note, and let these assassins leave Jingshi for any reason, and settle down in an absolutely safe place. In that case, how could it happen that after the assassin killed someone, he was still hiding? ”
Liu Chengfeng's analysis is very reasonable, it is extremely dangerous for the assassins to stay in the Jingshi, if it is instructed by Xiao Jing, the first thing to do after the killing is to settle these assassins in a good place, you know, Dongchang is a spy agency with the same name as Jinyiwei, they want to cover up a little thing, or rearrange some identities for the assassins to leave the Jingshi openly, isn't it easy? Xiao Jing is a very cautious person, such a person must not be so negligent.
Then Liu Chengfeng can deduce that Xiao Jing should not be the main messenger behind the scenes, at least his surname may be minimal, so he can not consider it for the time being.
Li Dongdong took a deep breath and said, "Neither Mingjiao nor Xiao Jing, then the only person who can plan to organize so many well-trained assassins is King Ning." ”
Liu Chengfeng shook his head again and said, "Whether it is King Ning or not, I can't be sure now." However, King Ning's possible surname is not small, and it is not difficult to lurk a team of warriors in Beijing with his ability. And King Ning also hates me to the core, but I'm afraid that he will want to get rid of me soon. But for now, we don't have to worry about it. ”
Li Dongdong was even more confused, and now that he had finally eliminated so many people, Liu Chengfeng said that he didn't need to pay attention to King Ning, but he didn't know what he had in mind.
I only heard Liu Chengfeng say: "Whether it was done by King Ning or not, at least we can be sure that in the palace, there must be an internal response of the mastermind behind the scenes, and this internal response is quite favored, otherwise how can we know about Your Majesty's illness?" Now that Xiao Jing can be temporarily excluded, then the internal response in the palace is much easier to investigate, I have to go to the palace, as long as I can inquire about this internal response, even if this case is completely solved, at least half of it can be solved, and I will be innocent. ”
Li Dongdong finally understood Liu Chengfeng's intentions, he first eliminated some suspects from the mouth of the assassin, especially after eliminating Xiao Jing, he could start from another direction, and first find out the most critical palace should be found. If you find out the internal response, the matter is half the battle.
Seeing that Liu Chengfeng was leaving, Li Dongdong couldn't help asking: "What should the assassin named Zeng Chao do, do you really let him go?" ”
Liu Chengfeng said with a smile: "If you want to let it go, let it go, I estimate that this kind of mouth can't pry out any truth, and let him linger for a few more days, and then I will catch them all at that time." ”
Li Dongdong said: "Do you want people to follow him, maybe you can find out some eyebrows?" ”
Liu Chengfeng shook his head: "No need, this kind of person is very cautious, once he keeps an eye on it, it will make this group of assassins rumor, and he may even venture out of Beijing." Now is not the time to take countermeasures. The reason why I put this man back is to stabilize these assassins and give them peace of mind. ”
Li Dongdong disagreed, and said, "But adults are not afraid that this assassin called Zeng Chao will find out the situation after he returns?" Although we didn't ask anything, the other party will definitely be alert? ”
Liu Chengfeng smiled and said, "If you come out without permission to find your love, but you make such a trouble, after you go back to meet your leader, will you say it?" ”
Li Dongdong completely understood Liu Chengfeng's thoughts, the reason is actually very simple, if anyone causes any trouble for his team out of selfishness, this person will definitely be lucky, thinking that the matter has passed, and will never say it, otherwise he will definitely be punished by the team. Not to mention, as an assassin who kills people without blinking, sneaking out to find his love, even if this kind of thing is told, it is a very shameful thing.
While Li Dongdong was pondering, Liu Chengfeng had already tidied up his clothes, and commanded a few words to Li Dongdong energetically, and then went out of the Beizhen Mansion Division, and after arriving at the noon gate, he made a report and waited outside the noon gate.
After a few days of not coming to the palace, and then looking at this majestic palace city, Liu Chengfeng's mood has been very different, but at this time he didn't think much about it, there are too many things in the past few days, which makes him a little breathless, especially Li Ruofan's pregnancy, so that he doesn't know whether to be happy or sad, and when he is stunned, a eunuch has come over quickly, and said: "Your Majesty said, please Lian Guogong immediately enter the palace to meet him." ”
Liu Chengfeng nodded at the eunuch, quickly followed the eunuch in, crossed the Jinshui Bridge all the way, and saw the eunuch going to the Wuying Palace, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help asking, "What?" Your Majesty is not in the Hall of Righteousness? ”
The eunuch said: "At this time, Your Majesty was originally in the Wuying Hall to listen to the advice of all the Hanlin and Yanguan, and when he heard that the grandfather entered the palace to meet him, he temporarily stopped the consultation and first saw the grandfather in the small hall. ”
Under normal circumstances, the court meeting held several times a year is the largest court meeting in the imperial court, which is basically held at a specific time, and there are many officials and nobles who participate, and the content of the discussion is not trivial, but mostly summarizes the gains and losses of the recent administration, as well as the gains and losses of the national policy of the imperial court, and so on. The scale of such pilgrimages is very large, but the number of times is very small.
Then there is the assembly, in fact, the assembly is the usual early dynasty, are some important ministers, to the emperor to make a work report, where there is a flood, where there are thieves, after these reports, the emperor makes decisions.
As for the small scale of this advice, only Hanlin and the speech officials are allowed to participate, but the significance is not small, the so-called "advice" is the original meaning of the so-called "advice" is to persuade the monarch, and the advice is naturally to give advice to the emperor's behavior and decision-making, and to find fault and shortcomings. In the Ming Dynasty, the rules of advice were fixed, anyway, from Taizu to Hongzhi, whether the emperor was enlightened or mediocre, it had to be held every other month, and the enlightened emperor wanted to hear about his own shortcomings, so as to introspect. But what about those mediocre emperors, although they don't want to listen to these crow-like officials and Hanlin chattering about your mistakes, but this thing is like the emperor's new clothes, as long as you hold a few words for people to say, you can leave a good reputation, and the province is told behind your back that you don't speak widely.
In the Hongzhi Dynasty, the specifications of this advice are getting bigger and bigger, and the emperor sees this kind of court meeting as very important, so every time the advice is held, no one can disturb it. However, Liu Chengfeng's audience actually directly made Zhu Youzhu interrupt the consultation, which is also a rare thing, presumably at this time, those officials and Hanlin in the Wuying Hall have already held back the fire in their stomachs.
