After waiting for another day, Mi Yan's investigation of Zhu Jizuo, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, returned to vain, and Li Xin decided not to continue to move to Nanjing on the same day, and returned to the Longtan military camp. For Ruan Dacheng's "Staying in the Capital to Prevent Chaos and Public Disclosure" has been ready, hundreds of scholars and Nanjing celebrities have signed in the public, for this kind of suppression of eunuchs and can invite a straight name, scholars have always flocked to it, often the other party is very happy.

This is also one of the reasons why the sergeants in He Cheng have repeatedly made trouble, and Ying Tianfu Yin has taken care of his own name, so he has repeatedly closed his eyes and only focused on advice. Therefore, the Houjun Governor's Mansion used thunderous means to arrest a group of troublemakers. In the post-mortem analysis of Mi Yan and others, when some people who were both prosperous and lossful with Zhou Yanru in Nanjing reached some kind of agreement with Wei Guogong, but the binding force of this agreement was obviously very loose, otherwise Sun Jie's letter of plea would not have made Wei Guogong easily let people go.

All this also proves one thing, that is, Wei Guogong and Ruan Dacheng are definitely not tied to the same rope. In fact, including Li Xin, he is also wondering, is Ruan Dacheng the only one jumping up and down in Nanjing City? And does the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau have anything to do with him?

These are all mysteries to be solved, but Ruan Dacheng must be driven out of Nanjing first, so that the vanguard who stood in the foreground to intervene in public opinion will be swept away, and Li Xin can also use Huang Zongxi's "Communiqué" to publish some information that he wants to be made public.

Just when Li Xin was about to leave, someone suddenly sent a letter, squinted and opened it, and shouted, God help me! When he came to his senses, he hurried to the messenger again, but he could not find half a trace.

It turned out that the contents of the envelope were actually an IOU from Zhu Jizuo's second son, and another note detailed the good deeds of Zhu Ergongzi. Zhu Jizuo, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, originally gave birth to two sons, but the eldest son died of acne the year before last, so Zhu Ergongzi became the only remaining seedling of the old man. Mi Yan had already investigated this information clearly, but what Mi Yan didn't know was that the second son of Zhu had a secret middleman who participated in the rice turmoil that broke out in Longtan County, and he owed a huge amount of 200,000 taels of silver.

Mi Yan can guess without guessing this kind of inside story, this loser must have been provoked by others to get out of a debt dispute. However, it is also a little surprising that the Nanjing Ministry of Rites led by Zhu Jizuo basically belongs to a cold yamen with nothing to do and no power, unlike the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household in Nanjing, the former holds the power of commercial taxation in several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and the latter controls the land, money and grain in the south of the Yangtze River, and even the Nanjing Military Department has a certain right to promote the garrison of Nanzhili.

So, what's the use of thinking about the second son of an idle scholar? Is it because you are thinking too much? Mi Yan was skeptical, but she still gave all her thoughts and thoughts.

Li Xin laughed at him, he thought about something irrelevant, others clicked Zhu Jizuo currently has little to do with the Three Guards, as long as the joint of Guò solves the problem of the Jiaofang Si Mei clan, it has nothing to do with Zhu Jizuo. However, before Li Xinren could leave, someone was sent over from the direction of Longtan, and the pair of Chen brothers who were in distress were lost!

This made Li Xin very dissatisfied, and even two living people could be lost, Chen Zheng and Chen Zhen brothers are witnesses with important clues, if these two people cannot be recovered, the problem will be even more difficult. At this time, Li Xin only felt that the qiē in front of him was like a mess, and there were thousands of doubts, but there was an illusion that he couldn't start.

After a long time, Li Xin finally figured out the reason, in the final analysis, it was because he was not a military and political officer in charge of the local government, and he was not rightful to the name. However, Zhang Fangyan, as the governor who was ordered to investigate the case thoroughly, only protected himself in Jiangdu Mingzhe, and did not seem to have any plans to start a war with a pool of sewage in Nanjing. After thinking about it a few times, Li Xin set his eyes on Sun Ji again.

Anyway, he is also the governor of Nanzhili, although in name parallel to the six departments of Nanjing, in fact, according to the convention, the governor has an example of a hundred officials to follow. It's just that Sun Ji was just a bare-bones governor before, and no one was willing to obey what he said. This situation also reveals from the side, the authority of the central government of the Ming Dynasty is losing little by little, perhaps Zhu Youzhen, who is the emperor, also signaled this, and then reactivated Wei Guogong, who had been "recuperating" at home for many years, and it was the forces that hoped that this person would suppress the various forces in the capital for him.

If the Duke of Wei is sincere to the imperial court, then it may not be impossible to join forces with him at a critical moment. But when he was in Longtan County, the cousin of the Houjun Governor's Mansion was too bad, and the soldiers of the Houjun Governor's Mansion were chasing Chen Zheng and Chen Zhen all the way!

Thinking of this, Li Xinxin's head was shocked, "Brother Chen Zheng was lost in the camp?" ”

The scout who reported the news shook his head, "It is said that it is said that it is really lost in Longtan County, and the accompanying soldiers will turn their heads, and the two big living people will disappear!" ”

"Is there a suspect? The brothers of the same team found traces outside Longtan City, but they inquired from passers-by, but they didn't know whether the news was true or false, and someone had already pursued them all the way, and the general direction was to Zhenjiang Mansion. ”

Zhenjiang Mansion? Li Xin fell into deep thought, whether the Chen brothers' disappearance had anything to do with the Houjun Governor's Mansion, and whether the Houjun Governor's Mansion was adhering to the will of Wei Guogong, these speculations were difficult to decide for a while.

Just when Li Xin was in trouble, he rode a fast horse into the city of Nanjing, and went straight to the mansion in the alley of Nancheng along the spacious and smooth stone avenue. A quarter of an hour later, a wooden box was respectfully placed by the old servant on his master's table.

"Letter from Jingshi!"

A pair of well-maintained hands opened the wooden box with a copper key, took out the letter sealed with oiled paper, and after unfolding it, he couldn't help but smile after just two glances. Then he carefully read the entire letter from beginning to end. Then, with a sigh of relief, he exhaled.

"Finally waited for today, let those Qiu Ba toss for a few days, but they don't know that the end is just around the corner." The owner of this pair of well-maintained hands is none other than Ruan Dacheng.

The good news made Ruan Dacheng, who had always been strict, show a rare pleasant face, and with a smile, he handed the letter in his hand to the old servant with curious eyes on the side. This old servant is the son of his Ruan family, and he has been involved in countless secret affairs with Wen for a long time, so he is relieved and bold to let him see this exciting news.

"Look at it, it's out of this study, you have to act like you've never seen it!"

The old servant excitedly took the letter in Ruan Dacheng's hand, this excitement is not about to have a secret affair with Wen, but the actions of his master show that he has great trust in him, what can be more exciting than this trust? In an instant, the old servant's eyes were filled with tears, but these excitements were completely replaced by excitement when he saw the contents of the letter.

He was even a little incoherent, holding his thin and wrinkled left hand and pointing at the letter indiscriminately, his lips trembling involuntarily, and he said in a strange tone: "This, this, this is really a great joy, old slave congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master!" ”

Ruan Dacheng waved his hand unprecedentedly and said, "That's it, that's it!" You don't have to do that anymore! Immediately afterward, he turned around without warning, "Can the two cubs of the Chen family be arranged?" Don't let people chase after Brother Shen. ”

The old servant raised his sleeves to wipe his tears, and then he regained his usual ability, and replied: "It is the people from the military capital of the Duke of Wei who did it, and no matter how much you track it down, you can't track down the master, so don't worry." According to the old servant's meaning, he simply ...... "He made a chopping motion with his hand as a knife," so that it was a hundred, but why should he keep them? "The old servant has followed Ruan Dacheng for decades, and naturally understands the master's thoughts, the so-called don't involve Brother Shen's head Yunyun is just a cover-up, what he is really worried about is not to involve his own head.

Ruan Dacheng was noncommittal, only groaned, and only whispered in an extremely solemn tone after a while: "Although the disposition of Jingshi has become a foregone conclusion, we can't be willing to sit back and wait, where is Zuo Liangyu's son now?" ”

Who knows, when Ruan Dacheng mentioned Zuo Menggeng and his person, the old servant, who had always bowed his head to his ear, changed his face greatly, and then said another word in a trembling voice.

"Master, the father and son of the Zuo family colluded with King Shen with bad intentions, although the traces of the eyes are not obvious, but they are harboring evil intentions. If you get too close to them, you are afraid, just in case, the old slave is saying that if their affairs fail, they may be implicated in Nanjing. Therefore, the old slave thought that it was not appropriate for the master to go to see this person, and he should not help him raise food. Wouldn't it be better to just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? ”

I only heard Ruan Dacheng put on a sneering face again, "Do you think I don't know what King Shen and Zuo Liangyu are doing to drive tigers and devour wolves?" Yang Sichang's defeat in Henan, and even Xiong Wencan's tragic death, I am afraid that they are indispensable to the shadow of their fuel. Of course, I won't help such a person with a bad heart, but why not lead this evil to the east? ”

The old servant was a little incomprehensible for a while, and only after a while, he exclaimed: "What does the old man mean to mix Zuo Mengeng and Qiu Ba, who is surnamed Li, together?" ”

The air in the room seemed to freeze suddenly, and the old servant was really impressed by the whimsy of the master. Ruan Dacheng's voice turned a little higher, "It's just that how to introduce the law must be carefully planned." ”

"But the master wants to make a fuss about food?" The old servant's eyes lit up.

"Of course, as long as this item is confirmed, even if Qiu Ba, surnamed Li, has the ability to turn the world upside down, he doesn't want to turn over again!"
