Seeing that Liu Chengfeng was anxious to ask the reason, Li Dongdong naturally didn't dare to hide it anymore. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

His eyebrows were slightly twisted, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but sweep Zhao Ruhai on the side.

Zhao Ruhai had a dead face and a gloomy expression, as if an executioner would take him to the execution ground next to be executed.

Li Dongdong said: "My lord, the matter is in the Taichang Temple, since the Servant Mansion began to investigate the case of the Confession, it began to send secret agents to strengthen the monitoring of the yamen, but I never thought that in the Taichang Temple, a secret passage was actually discovered. ”

"Secret passage......" Liu Chengfeng's eyes narrowed.

What is the place of Taichang Temple, that is the place that is specifically responsible for the ceremony, and the Ministry of Rites has many of the same can, and the main thing can only be to prepare various halls, such as meetings, banquets, longevity, seals, ceremonies, gods, titles and seals, heirs and other rituals are in charge of them.

The Ming Dynasty ruled the world by virtue, and virtue is embodied in this ceremony, although in fact, the method of governing the country in the imperial court has always been the outer Confucian law, but the word etiquette is held high, so although this Taichang Temple is one of the nine Qing settings, the right is not big, but in terms of etiquette, it is an extremely important yamen.

It's just that something happened here, and it also involves the secret passage and the Ming Sect, which is a bit unbelievable and very serious.

Liu Chengfeng's face suddenly became grim, if this matter spreads, it will probably be a laughing stock, the function of Jinyiwei is to maintain the imperial power, to put it bluntly, it is actually to maintain the majesty of the imperial power, and at the same time to maintain the face of the royal family.

Face is a very important thing, and now the Taichang Temple, which is presiding over the national ceremony, has made such a scandal, and it may also have an affair with the chaotic party, and the problem is very serious.

"Have you asked someone to find out where the secret passage leads?" Liu Chengfeng asked lightly.

Li Dongdong said with a heavy expression: "I have already asked someone to go in to investigate, but unfortunately I was sealed halfway through, but look at that direction, it is going to the palace, this secret passage is extremely deep, it seems to be intentionally to avoid the moat, and there seems to be a stone reinforcement, presumably to prevent the moat from collapsing and prepared." ”

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Where is the specific location of Taichang Temple?" ”

Li Dongdong said the truth, Liu Chengfeng pondered for a while, and immediately understood that Taichang Temple is located near Dong'an Gate, and the Forbidden City is backed by it.

Such a big project, and it is actually within the yamen, is really sensational, to do such a big thing, how many people have to be bought, and how many people need to be used as laborers? Not to mention, how much trouble to provoke.

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, if Li Dongdong hadn't said it to himself solemnly, I'm afraid that Liu Chengfeng would never have believed that he had such a big courage.

Liu Chengfeng's gaze fell on Zhao Ruhai's body, and asked word by word: "Zhao Qianhu, Taichang Temple is also in Inner East City, why didn't you find it before?" ”

Obviously, the secret passage is by no means generated overnight, and digging out a secret passage, there will definitely be a lot of movement, and the dug up silt also needs to be treated, how can the inner East City not know any movement?

Zhao Ruhai hurriedly said: "There was really no rumor at all before, my lord, this secret passage looks like it should be some years, and it is definitely not what it has done in the past few years, presumably ...... Presumably ......"

Liu Chengfeng glared at him fiercely, and said, "Even if it wasn't for the past few years, what do you do in Neidongcheng to eat, why can you find out now, so many people in your Qianhu before, are they all wine bags and rice bags?" What's the use of raising you people in the palace? ”

In his identity as a servant, it is enough to scold a thousand households, Zhao Ruhai was so frightened that he couldn't speak, he knew the means of this Lianzhou Marquis, and hurriedly bowed to the ground, and said: "The humble knows the mistake, the humble does not dare to shirk, the humble is guilty, please give the humble a chance to make meritorious contributions." ”

Liu Chengfeng's eyes narrowed, and he seemed to be hesitating, and then his face softened a little, and he said lightly: "I'm not an unreasonable person, this time your matter is too big, to put it mildly, even if you cut off your head now, you are also to blame for death, but then again, everyone is pro-army, I really want to put you to death, I can't bear it, since you said that you want to wear the crime and make meritorious service, then I will give you a chance to wear the crime and make meritorious service, from now on, everyone in the Thousand Households of Inner East City must go out, All the yamen have flipped through it for me, and besides, this matter can't be spread for the time being, even if there are rumors outside, no one is allowed to mention this matter in the guardhouse, what are you still kneeling here for, doing a show? ”

Zhao Ruhai first heard Liu Chengfeng's first half of the words, and he was really burned with all his thoughts, but he said that he was really doomed. But Liu Chengfeng's sentence of meritorious service was said, he was like a ghost gate, he couldn't help but sigh, and hurriedly said: "The humble knows it, the humble will do it, the humble will personally lead people to the street, up and down the inner East City, no matter who he is, the humble will turn the bottom up and down, and give an explanation to the adults." ”

After that, he climbed with a roll and crawled.

Seeing Zhao Ruhai disappear into the hall, Li Dongdong said, "Did the adults really let him go easily?" This person used to be disrespectful to adults. ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled faintly and said, "There are more people in Jingshi who chew the root of my tongue behind my back than dogs, and there is not one more of him." If we dispose of him now, in exchange for a new thousand households, not to mention whether people are willing to be at our mercy, if we are disobedient at that time, the matter of this case will be in trouble, after all, this time the matter is in the inner East City, and the direction we will find in the future is also there, without the help of the local thousand households, if someone is obstructed from it, we don't know how many circles we have to go around. And giving this surnamed Zhao a way to live, it can also be exchanged for his gratitude, not to mention, now this matter also has a lot to do with him, if he doesn't work hard, he has to take care of his head, such a person can use it at ease. ”

Li Dongdong nodded, Liu Chengfeng's reason is not wrong, in exchange for a new thousand households, and I don't know what the background is behind it, people can rise up, and it is not Liu Chengfeng who operates secretly, naturally he will not be grateful to Liu Chengfeng, maybe he will quietly make a little stumbling, but Zhao Ruhai is different, this matter has something to do with him, Liu Chengfeng let him go, can he not be grateful? Even if he is not grateful, if he dares to neglect his duties again, there will be a chance to settle accounts after the autumn, which is much easier to control than the new one.

Liu Chengfeng said: "Okay, Hugh wants to say these irrelevant things here, let's go to Taichang Temple and see the secret passage." ”

……

Suddenly, there were countless captains on the side of Taichang Temple, and the inner and outer three floors were surrounded by water, and there was no news at all, and even the old men inside were temporarily 'invited' to a room under house arrest.

Jin Yiwei actually dared to break into Taichang Temple to humiliate the officials of Taichang Temple, which naturally provoked the scolding of many people, these old men are not easy to bully, and they took the trouble to threaten the captain who guarded them for a while, and when they saw that the other party was indifferent, they were also furious at this moment.

There is no reason to put the court officials under house arrest, not to mention that it is in the Hongzhi Dynasty, even in the Chenghua Dynasty, it is unique, even if you want to take people, you want to rectify people, then at least you have to make a crime, but now it's good, you don't even have to ask about the crime, just a large group of people rushed in, and then drove all the people inside to this room.

Although these brocade guards are quite polite, at least they invited these adults here, and they poured tea and said a few nice words, just saying that there are chaotic party activities in this Taichang Temple, and in order to ensure the safety of your lords, please come here for a while, but no one believes this kind of nonsense.

But Xiucai met a soldier, and he couldn't explain it clearly, and people refused to let you come out, what can you do except use your mouth?

Outside this Honglu Temple, the sky is gradually getting dark at this time, Chen Hongyu is directing everyone to light lights everywhere, countless torches are burning, and half of the sky is red, and the inside and outside of this Taichang Temple are bright.

In the evening, a voice came from outside: "Lord Servant has arrived, and I have seen Lord Servant." ”

Chen Hongyu's ears were sharp, and after hearing it, he hurried to the gate, and sure enough, he saw Liu Chengfeng coming in quickly, followed by Li Dongdong.

Chen Hongyu hurriedly wanted to go to the ceremony, but Liu Chengfeng shook his head: "Don't be long-winded, take me to see the secret passage." ”

Chen Hongyu didn't dare to slack off, in fact, he also knew Liu Chengfeng's surname, as soon as something happened, this Hou Ye would become vigorous and resolute, he went to a captain on the side to take a lantern, while lighting the way for Liu Chengfeng, he said: "My lord, please come down." ”

The group turned a few corners, and arrived at the backyard of this Taichang Temple, the sentry posts in the backyard were obviously denser, and these people saw Liu Chengfeng coming, and they all said: "My lord......"

Liu Chengfeng was cold, just nodded at them, and followed Chen Hongyu to the small garden in the backyard.

Any yamen, there are front and back yards, here is actually the same, the pattern is the same, but after all, this is Taichang Temple, the level is only slightly lower than the department, so it covers a lot of land, in this garden, a huge rockery appeared in the dim eyes of Liu Chengfeng.

Dozens of captains with knives are distributed around this rockery, and it seems that no one is allowed to approach, but Liu Chengfeng can naturally be unimpeded.

Chen Hongyu pointed to the rockery and said, "Master Hou, the secret passage is here, please take a look." ”
