Liao Yongtang sat in the main hall of the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households, watching the leaves in front of the court fall to the ground, and the two wrestlers were waving brooms to clean up, and the sound of bamboo branches scratching the ground made him upset.

"Get out of here, let the official be quiet for a while!" Liao Yongtang finally couldn't bear it anymore.

The courtyard finally quieted down, Liao Yongtang exhaled softly, and poured the tea in his mouth as if it had lost its original taste.

In the past two days, he has always had a feeling of panic. The fineness of the house was sorted out over and over again, and the two best fast horses of the thousand households were also brought into the private house by him. Liao Yongtang himself couldn't tell why he came here, anyway, he felt very bad.

After a moment of silence, there seemed to be a faint noise in the distance, and the noise was intensifying.

"What's going on! Is it so difficult for this official to calm down for a while? ”

A wrestler stumbled in, and even forgot to salute the clouds, and stammered back: "Big, my lord, it's not good, it's not good, there are hundreds of people gathered in front of the yamen, please come out, go out and answer!" ”

Liao Yongtang's heart chuckled, and he smashed the teacup by mistake. Instead, Nalux was so agitated that he collapsed to the ground.

Liao Yongtang jumped up, scolded in his mouth, kicked the wrestler who was about to get up again, and then walked out of the main hall quickly.

Behind the shadow wall of the gate, two hundred households, one left and one right, commanded the brocade guards of the thousand households to close the gate tightly, and through the thick wooden door, there was a dull sound of impact and noisy human voices.

"What's wrong?" Liao Yongtang grabbed a hundred households and asked with a hideous face.

"I don't know why, hundreds of people suddenly gathered in front of the door of the thousand households, naming and asking you to go out to answer, the subordinates are afraid that these chaotic people will break in, we have few people, if, in case, this is ......!" The preface of the hundred households does not match the afterword.

"Why me!" Liao Yongtang slapped the hundred households on the cheek.

Baihu screamed in pain, his cheeks were high and swollen, and then he came back to his senses. "It's just a matter of Tartar, and I want you to investigate it thoroughly!"

Liao Yongtang's head was dizzy. Tartar thing! And which Tartar? Isn't it the Tartar named Tushun? I was really afraid of something, and finally stabilized Zhu Ping'an and Lu Zhenfei, and got Tushun into his own hands, and now I just wait for the arrest documents in the capital to arrive, and the matter is settled.

Even if there are some rumors of Tartars in Fengyang in the market, it will not lead to a battle of hundreds of people coming to the door to question! When did these Li Shu people have such courage to come to Jinyiwei to make trouble!

"Open the door!" Liao Yongtang gave the order with a tiger face.

The two wooden doors wrapped in thick iron sheets slowly opened, and when he saw the situation in front of him, Liao Yongtang was dizzy again, but at this time, there was no way to close the door again, so he had to bite the bullet and walk out of the door with an official posture.

Standing in front of him were dozens of young men dressed in white, all with resolute eyes and solemn expressions. The most difficult thing to provoke in the entire Fengyang City, including the entire Ming Dynasty, is the kind of person in front of you. And behind them, there were hundreds of people in various costumes, which was really lively.

Liao Yongtang recognized the leader of the scholar, and nodded immediately, "Zhang Gongzi, what is the matter today to come to this official's brocade clothes and guard thousands of households!" ”

Zhang Jizu was in high spirits at this time, and the spirit and demeanor of Donglin's predecessors seemed to be attached to his soul at this moment today, and at this time, he was not fighting alone.

After looking around and getting the affirmative eyes of everyone behind him. Zhang Jizu arched his hand at Liao Yongtang, "Lord Liao, the students are waiting for you today, because you have recently captured the spy of the Eastern Prisoner!" ”

"Oh? It's a matter of confidentiality, how did Zhang Gongzi find out? ”

"Everyone knows the streets and alleys, the peddlers and pawns!"

Zhang Jizu's answer made Liao Yongtang already do, but his face was still silent, "...... is that Zhang Gongzi?" ”

"There is no him, I just hope that the adults will visit immediately to see why this Dongyu has come to Fengyang?"

Liao Yongtang snorted coldly, "You have your own court law, and if you do things according to the rules, how can you be able to influence them!" ”

Zhang Jizu did not flinch, "My lord's words are wrong. Since Dongyu appeared in Fengyang, it was for a certain purpose. The students heard that this year is also a famine year, in addition to frequent border raids on our Ming territory, plundering people, grain, cattle and sheep. It is to send people to infiltrate the Ming Dynasty, collude with some wealthy businessmen who are crazy and forget their ancestors, and transport the military funds of my Ming Dynasty to the outside of the customs, so as to strengthen their wings! ”

"Nonsense! Could it be that because you heard about it, this official will send a fast horse to the Ming court to investigate this matter thoroughly? ”

"That's not what the students meant!" Zhang Jizu is polite and courteous, "The students and others just think that now that the Dongyu spy has been arrested, the news is already known all over the city." If you follow the rules of the yamen and follow the steps step by step, I am afraid that it is appropriate to send people to the capital, so that the profiteers who collude with the eastern captives will have an opportunity to take advantage of it, and maybe they will escape. Wouldn't this be a missed opportunity to find out these black sheep? ”

"How to do things in the Jinyi Guard Yamen, it is not your turn to point fingers, retreat quickly, otherwise, they will all be arrested and imprisoned for the crime of colliding with the important land of the imperial court!"

Liao Yongtang was distraught. A group of yellow-mouthed children, relying on their fame, pointed fingers at the affairs of the yamen and made a lot of nonsense. Listening to some rumors, he came to command Jinyiwei to do things, such a ridiculous thing can only be done by Donglin scholars who are not afraid of the sky and the earth.

As for the people behind them, they just echoed it, as long as they took out the official shelf, they were scared and dispersed. Liao Yongtang is very confident in this.

Liao Yongtang's words made Zhang Jizu frown, and he was about to speak, but a yin and yang strange voice sounded behind him.

"Do you mean that you would rather let those traitors go than investigate this matter thoroughly?"

Zhang Jizu was very surprised, this voice was very familiar to him, it was clearly the Liang Kang who followed behind the scholars on weekdays, how could he suddenly become so courageous today?

This sentence made Liao Yongtang furious, originally there was a ghost hidden in his heart, and Liang Kang's words were like a spike that poked directly into the most unwilling place in his heart.

But at this time, he really didn't want to make extraneous branches, so he forcibly suppressed his anger and flicked his sleeves. "You are also a diligent reader of the books of the sages, and you should know what kind of sin it is to talk about the government and slander the officials of the court. This official is only an unintentional loss, and it will quickly disperse, and the official is entangled in official business, where can he spend time here with you!"

"The lord is so prevaricating, could it be that the lord has nothing to do with the spies?" A loud shout suddenly erupted from the crowd, and the crowd suddenly boiled.

Liao Yongtang suddenly stopped, his hand reached out at his waist, and he had already pulled out the embroidered spring knife on his waist. Then he turned around, and the muscles on his face twisted together, indescribably oozing. "Who shouted!"

The crowd immediately fell silent, and everyone turned their eyes to Liao Yongtang in unison, but no one answered.

Zhang Jizu sensed that something was wrong.

As a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, especially as a member of Donglin Academy, it has become an indelible imprint on one's soul and life to criticize the court and civil and military officials.

Imperial history is famous for its style and bones, and for the sake of fame, they can impeach the powerful, auxiliary ministers, cabinet elders and even the emperor, all they want is to be famous all over the world. Of course, behind this, the motivation that pushes them to face those big people who are high up is different, some because of gold and silver, some for fame, some for the sake of gaining a greater voice, and some for the sake of impeachment.

Zhang Jizu considers himself a rising star of Donglin, and has the responsibility and ability to bring Donglin's influence back to the temple. Wei Zhongxian's slaughter and Wen Tiren's framing cannot completely knock down the Donglin lineage, one day, Donglin students will make a comeback, and he will be the mainstay of it.

To this end, he actively encircled the local scholars in Fengyang, and successfully incarnated as the leader of the Fengyang scholars. He longed for a chance to make himself famous in the world, and then participate in Enke in the coming year to achieve the work of his life.

For this reason, when he heard that the Dongyu Tartar spy appeared in Fengyang, Jinyiwei did nothing. Zhang Jizu was thrilled.

But the development of things seems to be somewhat unexpected by Zhang Jizu. First of all, all kinds of people came to support the scholars. In the past, whenever there was anything going on in the Yamen, how far and far did these Li Shu people hide. But today, it is unusual, and he has not spoken a few words impassionedly, and he has not even explained the matter clearly, and the people are already "full of righteous indignation" and "agitated feelings".

At the beginning, Zhang Jizu thought that it was popular with the people. Now, I suddenly feel like I'm being taken advantage of.

The words coming out of the crowd are getting more and more tricky, Zhang Jizu is not an ignorant minor, and he has not read books and become a fool, these words coming out of the crowd clearly have only one purpose - to anger Liao Yongtang!

When Liao Yongtang finally couldn't restrain himself from pulling out the embroidered spring knife, the yin and yang strange voice in the crowd sounded again. "It seems that the villain really guessed correctly, the adult is going to kill people!"

Zhang Jizu suddenly wanted to be angry. What a system this becomes!

Today I am the protagonist, who is this? It's been stealing the show!

Just wanted to turn back, but there was a solid kick on the buttocks, Zhang Jizu was defenseless, and suddenly stumbled towards Liao Yongtang.

Liao Yongtang was looking for who was talking in the crowd with a dark face, and suddenly noticed that a figure rushed out from the opposite crowd, and rushed towards him along the steps.

Liao Yongtang was shocked, and subconsciously put up the embroidered spring knife in his hand.

Zhang Jizu only felt that his left shoulder was cold, and a random pain that he had never tasted before, looked down and saw that a bright knife tip had been inserted into his shoulder.

Zhang Jizu was born in the Fengyang clan, and is the eldest son and grandson, since he was a child, he was favored by the elders in the family, and he is a famous "prodigy" in Fengyang City, who is much cared for and respected.

Liang Kang immediately shouted loudly, "Jinyiwei has killed someone!" The eldest son of the Zhang family was killed by Jinyiwei!"
