Zhang Jing tiǎntiǎn mouth, his face calmed down, it is useless to beg for mercy now, of course he understands his situation, he is dead left and right, but he can still be happy when he honestly confesses, only in the morning...... Naturally, the fewer your own crimes, the better.

Zhang Jing said in a low voice: "My lord, Poor Dao intends to murder the imperial court official, and the crime is unforgivable. ”

Liu Chengfeng's face sank, and he said, "Just intending to murder the imperial court officials?" Also, this official will give you another chance. ”

Zhang Jing was silent for a moment and said, "If the adults feel that it is not enough, please ask the adults for guidance, and the poor Dao will admit it." ”

This means that Zhang Jing only admits to this one crime, if you want to coerce a confession, then it's up to you.

Liu Chengfeng sneered and patted the case: "Sure enough, he is a cunning thief, and he still dares to be hard-mouthed." He picked up a Buddhist scripture on the bookcase and threw it down, saying, "See for yourself, what is this?" ”

Zhang Jing looked at the Buddhist scriptures, his face changed suddenly, and his mouth began to tremble, only then did he know that Liu Chengfeng had already discovered the secret room, and he hurriedly said: "This is a Buddhist scripture." ”

Liu Chengfeng asked, "Where did the Buddhist scriptures come from?" ”

"Yes......"

Liu Chengfeng sneered: "Let's be honest, otherwise you will inevitably suffer from this flesh and skin, and now that you are certain to die, why cover it up for others?" Let me ask you, what do you have to do with this Manichaean book? ”

Zhang Jing's forehead was already dripping with cold sweat, and he said, "Poor Dao...... Poor"

Liu Chengfeng continued to sneer: "I'd better get straight to the point, what do you have to do with Mingjiao?" What is your position in Mingjiao? ”

This sentence, like a thunderbolt from the sky, hit Zhang Jing's head at once, and he knelt under the hall, his face uncertain.

Liu Chengfeng said slowly: "So far, do you still want to cover it up?" To tell you the truth, the matter of Mingjiao, not only me, but also the palace has long known, and it is precisely because of this that the official frightened the snake and made your accomplices suspicious, and finally decided to assassinate me, you were ordered to assassinate the official, and you were already in the prepestle of the official, otherwise your plan was so meticulous, how could it go wrong? Otherwise, when the official arrived at the Cloud Pavilion, hundreds of lieutenants would immediately surround it? Everything you have is in the hands of the official, and the official only gives you two ways to choose, one is to give you a good time, if you dare to talk nonsense again, so that you can't survive or die, you know the means in the guard, you weigh it yourself. ”

Now, even if you want to cover it up, you can't hide it, Zhang Jing, who was kneeling on the ground, pondered for a moment, and said: "Poor Dao confessed all the confessions, just asking for a happy adult, Poor Dao is indeed a Mingjiao person, in the early years he was active in Suzhou, and later got the funding of the left protector to come to Beijing to open a fragrant hall, in the name of Tianyi activities, over the years for Mingjiao to deliver news, accumulate money. "How many incense halls are there in Mingjiao?"

"I don't know this poor way."

"Who is your leader?"

"I don't know either."

Liu Chengfeng's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and said, "What is the relationship between King Ning and Mingjiao?" ”

"Poor Dao only knows that Mingjiao has set up incense halls everywhere, and the villain's top has left and right protectors who are responsible for communicating with Poor Dao, and then there is the sect leader and King Ming, as for the rest, I don't know anything."

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but be speechless, he thought that Zhang Jing was not only the backbone, but also had some knowledge of Mingjiao, and he could use him to uncover the inside story of Mingjiao, but who knew that he didn't know anything.

It's just that he explained that the sect has opened incense halls in various places, but Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but be alert, and continued to ask: "What are the incense halls opened in various places set up under what name?" ”

Zhang Jing said: "There are Taoist gates, Buddhist temples, and some chambers of commerce, etc., with many names, and this is what Poor Dao heard from Zuo Protector. ”

"Who is the Left Protector?"

"It's the monk who last saw you."

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help frowning, and then asked, "What else?" You know in your own heart that what you said is far from enough to get you a good time, and you can say everything you know, otherwise the official has a way to clean you up.

Zhang Jing was silent for a moment, and then said, "Poor Dao remembered something.

"You say."

Zhang Jing said: "This time the left protector was ordered to set up a bureau to get rid of the adult, and from his words, I heard that the sect leader and the king of Ming planned to do a big thing in Beitongzhou, but what exactly it was, poor Dao was not clear, but two thousand households died in a row in the Jinyi Guard, and most of them had something to do with it. ”

"Big ......" Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but close his eyes.

Beitongzhou is the center connecting the north and the south, the most important grain transportation and trade route in the world, what do these remnants of Mingjiao want to do?

"What else?"

Zhang Jing said: "There is nothing more." ”

Liu Chengfeng also became silent, something big is going to happen in Beitongzhou, is it not big enough to die two thousand households in Beitongzhou in a row? Or, the reason why these two thousand households were killed must be related to Mingjiao, should you report this matter to Mu Bin?

As for Zhang Jing, Liu Chengfeng waved his hand and said, "Escort down, and let the Wang Si Officials continue to go to trial tomorrow." ”

After Zhang Jing was escorted down, Liu Chengfeng's face became more and more ugly, the organization of Mingjiao was stricter and larger than he imagined, and it was also larger, as for the death of two thousand households in Beitongzhou in a row, Liu Chengfeng only heard about it slightly, but he didn't pay much attention to it, but now, since this matter involves Mingjiao, I am afraid that it is not very simple.

He pondered for a moment, and couldn't figure it out for a while, when a lieutenant came in quickly and said, "My lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down.

Liu Chengfeng hurriedly stood up and went out of the duty room to greet him, and it was Zhu Houzhao who came with people in his twelve-year-olds, this person was thin, and a pair of eyes glared at Liu Chengfeng viciously, but Liu Chengfeng remembered that this person had seen it at the queen's birthday banquet, it was Jianchang Bo Zhang Yanling.

As soon as Zhu Houzhao saw Liu Chengfeng, he laughed and said, "Master Liu, you killed someone again last night?" ”

This is said as if killing people is like cutting vegetables, and the mouth is more like saying: You ate steamed buns again last night?

Killing people is as common as eating steamed buns.

Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince idle today?" Have you ever copied the copybook that asked you to copy a few days ago? ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled dryly: "I'll send my homework in a few days." After that, he introduced to Liu Chengfeng: "This is the uncle of the palace, the Marquis of Jianchang." ”

Liu Chengfeng waved at Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, and said, "I've seen Master Hou." ”

Zhang Yanling sneered and turned sideways, meaning that he was not subject to Liu Chengfeng's courtesy.

Liu Chengfeng said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came here, could it be that he is here to visit the Marquis of Shouning?" ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Master Liu, I know you have official business, but last night, the flood washed the Dragon King Temple, and it was your own family member from the palace, cough cough...... I won't let you go, at least let us go and see him. ”

Anyway, this Zhu Houzhao was still very polite to Liu Chengfeng, and his request was not too much, Liu Chengfeng naturally said: "This is easy to say, Your Highness will come with me." ”

Liu Chengfeng took the two to the side of the prison cell, asked someone to open the door of Shou Ninghou, Zhu Houzhao and Jian Changbo stepped in, and Liu Chengfeng and Liu Jin were waiting outside.

Zhang Heling saw that his brother and the prince came to visit him, and suddenly Ji moved, and people's courage was fat, and he said loudly: "You don't have to come to see me, just let the surnamed Liu practice me, I am a Shou Ninghou in the eyes of a hundred households in Jinyi Wei is not a fart, Sister Ah does not come to help, even his own brother is late, his nephew is still a person with these hundred households, you don't have to come, go out, go out." ”

Zhang Yanling persuaded his brother: "Brother, what are these words? I came early in the morning, but the hateful hundred households refused to let me in, so I went into the palace to see my mother......"

Zhu Houzhao said crisply: "Uncle, Master Liu is also for your good, you colluded with the party, such a big crime, if it reaches the ears of your father, can you afford to bear the sin?" The queen mother also summoned me in at noon to speak, telling you to reflect on it, don't always be confused, let people look down on the Zhang family. ”

"Scared!" Zhang Heling was angry, originally he was still scared, seeing the people in the surrounding cells offering to beat one by one, some were dying, some never came back, some were covered in bruises, wailing, after all, Zhang Heling was the first time to see this kind of thing, and he was already so scared that he didn't possess his body, but when the prince and his brother came to visit the prison, they knew that Liu Chengfeng couldn't do anything to himself, so he was naturally a lot bolder, and scolded: "Prince, you and I have broken the blood relatives with bones and tendons, and you still help outsiders?" Okay, okay, you all go, let me die here. ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled, his pair of uncles, in fact, Xingzi is similar to him, they are all muddy masters, and there is nothing to hide when they usually speak, Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes, and said: "Uncle Guo is in prison, how can this palace sit idly by?" I'll play here with you today, so that my uncle won't be lonely."

After that, the big hat said: "Liu Jin, bring the guy." ”

Liu Jin carried a burden in, this pair of uncles didn't know what it was, even Zhang Heling was a little curious for a while, and when Liu Jin shook off the burden on the table, there were more than 100 squares scattered on the table, Zhang Heling couldn't help but say: "What is this?" ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "Mahjong, this thing is more black than the leaf card, and my uncle plays with the palace." ”

After that, he said: "It's just that there is one person missing, Liu Jin has already lost all the money for the next year to the palace, so naturally he can't be accompanied, Master Liu...... Master Liu. ”

When Liu Chengfeng heard Zhu Houzhao calling him in the cell, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, stepped in, and said, "What does the prince command?" ”

Zhu Houzhao had already picked up a stool and sat down, and said, "Come, three are missing one, just send you one You won so much silver in the palace last time, and this time the palace wants to win it back with interest." ”

Zhang Heling saw Liu Chengfeng coming in, he was angry and angry, staring at him, Zhang Yanling was the same, a pair of brothers had the same hatred, and Yin couldn't eat Liu Chengfeng.

Liu Chengfeng hurriedly shook his head and said, "The prince and the two uncles can find someone to play with, I still have some official business to do, but I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany him." ”

Zhu Houzhao refused, pulled Liu Chengfeng to sit down, and said: "Master Liu, usually the palace is reading and practicing calligraphy in the East Palace according to your instructions, can't you accommodate the palace today?" Come, come, it's been a long time since I've played with Master Liu. ”

After that, he said to Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling: "Uncles shouldn't dare to play mahjong with Master Liu, right?" If you don't dare, forget it. ”

Listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Zhang Yanling's eyes widened and said, "Why don't you dare?" ”

Zhang Heling was still a little hesitant, not to join in the fun, the prince seemed to be displeased, but he pulled down his face and played mahjong with the surname Liu, and he couldn't swallow it in one breath.

Liu Chengfeng Suo Xing also held a corner of the table, and said lightly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the mahjong for the teacher is unparalleled in the world, since you want me to make a corner, if you lose the silver later, don't cry." ”

This sentence was ostensibly said to Zhu Houzhao, but it was clearly said to Zhang Heling, which means that boy, don't play if you can't afford it.

Zhang Heling was angry, gritted his teeth and said: "Come on, just this mahjong, how to play?" ”！。
