Although Zheng Guoqi's performance was not good when he was about to be sentenced, when his head hit the ground, the crowd of onlookers was still excited. Among them, a man with a wound on his face was a little excited. He couldn't help but clench his fists, his eyes lit up, and he muttered, "The sky has eyes!" The heavens have eyes! Bless me Feng Shan's revenge. Zheng Guoqi, today is your retribution! ”

This person is, of course, Feng Xiaoxian. On the day of Zheng Guoqi's conviction, he was able to be released from prison. Yan Hong simply did a good job to the end, and gave him dozens of taels of silver to treat his injuries and settle down. In addition, the Yin family's Zhuqing and Bai Da husband and wife were also released on the same day. Yan Hong also gave them fifty taels of silver, even if it was to make up for them being locked up for so many days, the Yin family didn't have to go back, and it was enough to make a living with this money to make a small business. The brocade guards who were on duty in the Imperial Prison also received a large allowance each. As for Wu Lezi, he brought a knife into the house, and he didn't report it, how to punish this crime, then don't worry about it.

At the same time, he was implicated in this case, as well as Yin Shiguang, the governor of Shuntianfu. Emperor Jiajing's eyes were vicious, and from a few confessions, he realized that Yin Fucheng was by no means a glorious role in this matter.

And that's exactly what happened. Yin Shiguang originally knew about the affairs between his daughter and Zheng Xiaogongzi, but he had the heart to cling to Zheng Xiao and did not stop him. It's just that he didn't admit it, and when he tactfully proposed to ask for marriage, he was rejected by Zheng Xiao. For Zheng Xiao, his son is definitely not a thing in the pool, if he wants to soar into the sky, what can a small Sipin Mansion do? Friends belong to friends, in-laws can't do it! No matter what the appearance of the girl Meng Shilang is, the identity of the servant of the ministry alone is enough for Zheng Dadutang to marry him.

Because of this, when Feng Xiao came first, the boss and boring Yin Fucheng took Feng Sheng as a life-saving spare tire, and allowed his daughter to leave the company as soon as possible, so as not to have any big scandals in the future and lose his face. Even after his daughter was killed, he suspected that most of his sons-in-law did not have the courage to kill. But if you offend Zheng Dutang, you still don't dare. So he made a mistake and insisted on Feng Xiaoxian.

These crooked intestines have no room to display in front of Jiajing's eyes. The emperor suspects you, so what evidence do you need? So the Son of Heaven issued a holy decree to send Yin Fucheng to Luoyang, Henan Province as the prefect. The change from a four-rank Beijing official to a four-rank magistrate is another tragic derogation.

Taishan Hutong, the second auxiliary Xu Jie's residence.

"Unexpectedly, Brother Danquan is upright, but he raised such a son. The human face and beast heart not only harmed the girl of the Yin family and cost her life, but also caused Brother Danquan to lose his official position. Xu Jie said with emotion.

Zhang Juzheng, who was sitting on the lower hand, said: "Teacher, Juzheng thinks otherwise. ”

The corners of Xu Jie's mouth curled slightly: "Really?" So what does Uncle think? ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "Zheng's old family is inappropriate, Zheng Guoqi is bold and reckless, and he brings about his own destruction, these don't need to be repeated." However, after the incident, Lao Dutang not only lost his son, but also lost his office, and the more important reason was that he had already annoyed today's family before. The Zheng Guoqi incident this time is just a matter of course. ”

Xu Jie stroked his palms and smiled: "Uncle, you can have this insight, there are successors in the imperial court." ”

Zhang Juzheng said humbly: "This is all the work of the teacher's teachings. ”

Xu Jie said: "So, today Brother Danquan hangs up his crown and leaves, what does Uncle Da think about the situation in the court?" ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "Lao Dutang is also a first-class person in the Qingliu of the imperial court, and he has fought with Yan Fenyi several times before. Now that he has fallen, it is conceivable that the trend of strict division will inevitably increase. However, the stronger Yan Fenyi's prestige becomes, the more dangerous the righteous people in the DPRK and China will become. At this time, the teacher must not reverse Yan Song's head, and he will continue to be obscure, while secretly appeasing the old department of Zheng Lao Dutang, thinking that it is a long-term plan. Now in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there are nearly 30 people in the old department of the old Dutang protégé, if they are in the hands of the teacher, he will be an elite soldier that no one can take lightly. ”

Xu Jie nodded and said, "Not bad." and that Yan Hong, who was just a fool in the past, but looking at the methods he used in the Andingmen case, it was really eccentric and elusive. This person is both scheming and eclectic. When he was a traitor, he was a formidable opponent. ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "The teacher sees it clearly. Ju Zheng also went to the Jinyi Wei Yamen to learn about Yan Hong's handling of the case. This sub-end is not trivial. ”

Xu Jie said: "Leave Yan Hong's affairs aside, uncle, I want to recommend you to the imperial court to go to Guozijian as a secretary." ”

Zhang Juzheng hurried over: "Thank you for your care." ”

Xu Jiedao: "That Guozi is a priest and a high arch, and he is also a first-class talent, and he is also the teacher of King Yu's Chitose." After the uncle goes, it will be beneficial to make good friends with him. ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "Obey the orders of the teacher. ”

[Author's note: Zhang Juzheng entered the national prison, which was also several years ahead of history. Escape ......】

The ten-mile long pavilion outside Beijing has always been the place where officials who resigned from the dynasty and their colleagues and friends separated. Zheng Xiao, who dismissed the official and left Beijing, is also here.

It is said that Zheng Xiao has been an official for many years, and there are not a few protégés, but today this long pavilion looks a little bleak. Many of Zheng Xiao's hardcore descendants were exiled from Beijing. The imperial histories and things left behind were already frightened by the experiences of their colleagues and did not dare to come. Some descendants who are not afraid of death have also received Zheng Xiao's secret order and are strictly forbidden to come to see them off. As for other colleagues, a scolding organization like the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not good at interacting with people, not to mention that Zheng Xiao has a strong personality and rarely communicates, so no one will risk offending Yan Song to send him off.

Therefore, there is only one slender old man with white hair in the Ten Mile Pavilion today, and he said goodbye to Zheng Xiao. The leader of the clear stream of the dignified country, the second grade of the capital, when he sent the officer, there was only one person to see him off, and the scene was so bleak.

This old man who does not believe in evil is Zhou Yan, the left capital of the current Metropolitan Procuratorate. He is the same age as Zheng Xiao, and he is also a scholar in the same department, and his personality is deed, and the two of them advance and retreat together in the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, and their friendship is irreversible. Seeing that his old friend ended up like this, Zhou Yan was also infinitely emotional.

After the two drank three glasses of send-off wine, Zhou Yan said: "Brother Danquan, take care of yourself when you go back to your hometown, he will wake up one day, and there may not be no recovery period, and it will not be too late for you and me to join forces to fight power and rape at that time." ”

Zheng Xiao shook his head and said, "Brother Lushan, the younger brother is going, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover." hateful sons, fierce wives have no virtues, so that the old man's reputation is ruined all his life, but it makes the traitor proud. From now on, the affairs of the DPRK and China will depend on my brother's efforts, but it will take more effort. ”

Zhou Yan also sighed twice. Zheng Xiao said again: "Speaking of which, this time I was the first to break the law because of my son, and it was difficult to win. I insisted on not letting my brother make a move, and I expected that most of the time it would end up like this. However, what is the death of that unscrupulous son, and what is the reason for my official position! Only the law of the court cannot be abolished. The factory guard eagle dog bullied the people in the forest, and this wind must not be opened. can only hate Lu Wenfu for being loyal before, but he secretly lurked poisonous fangs and took the opportunity to devour people, you and I have been deceived by him. And that little traitor Yan Hong, relying on the momentum of Yan Lao Thief, is even more reckless, and we and other Qingliu scholars can't control it. If this continues, the three generations of traitors in the Yan Mansion will sooner or later become the bane of the Ming Dynasty. I only fought with enthusiasm, fought hard, and fell into their trap, which was also self-inflicted. Brother Wang, take me as a warning, and in the future, when fighting with power and traitors, you must not be strong for a while, and you must think long-term. ”

Zhou Yan raised his head and said: "Brother Danquan, one day in the court on a certain day, he will not be allowed to see the power to betray the country, and the factory guards are rampant. After I go back today, I will write a bloody chapter, prostrate myself to death, and I will ask the Son of Heaven to investigate Yan Hong's crimes and dismiss Lu Bing! As the saying goes, you are not afraid of broken bones, you must leave your innocence in the world! "It's really a strong and iron-clad look, loyal to the country.

Zheng Xiao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Never!" Brother Kuan Shan, with you today, there are still officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate who can commit death and give direct advice. If even you have been harmed by the Yan family, who can speak up in the court and restrain the traitors? I have been thinking at home these days, we used to fight alone, but it was wrong. Now in the DPRK, the only person who can fight with Yan Song is Xu Ge Xu Zisheng. In the future, I hope that the elder brother will have more contacts with Xu Ge, so that he can play a good job! ”

Although the two of them and Xu Jie are the same scholars, Zhou and Zheng are in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate on weekdays, and they belong to an independent force, relying on a number of science and technology officials under him, impeaching hundreds of officials, picketing lawlessness, and belonging to the characters who hate gods and ghosts, and have no contact with several major forces in the court. Today, Zheng Xiao's intention is to hope that Zhou Yan will take refuge in Xu Jie, and serve Xu Jie.

Zhou Yan didn't expect his old friend to say this. In his heart, he didn't want to go to anyone. Yanguan, which belongs to the supervision mechanism of the Ming Dynasty, should be independent and self-reliant, and impeach whoever you want. If you really take refuge in Xu Jie, it will inevitably be unfair.

What's more, in his eyes, Xu Jie is not a person worth relying on: "Brother Danquan, although Xu Zisheng has wide wings, he has always been wise to protect himself, and he does not dare to compete with Yan Song, and blindly follows Yan Song's nonsense." Such a character, if I look at his horse's head, won't I also be a mediocre man who goes with the flow? ”

Zheng Xiao said: "No. As far as I can see, Xu Jie's compliance with Yan Song is also Taoguang's strategy to cultivate obscurity. If you want to remove the trouble of the strict party, there is no one else except Xu Jie. Besides, if Brother Lushan can lead the Metropolitan Procuratorate to take refuge in Xu Ge, Xu Ge will be powerful, and even Yan Song will not allow anyone to sleep soundly on the side of the couch. In order to force Xu Ge to show his banner, but it is not bad. ”

Zhou Yan thought about it carefully and felt that what his old friend said was quite reasonable. It's not the first time I have fought against Yan Song, and when I calculate the record, I basically have more defeats and fewer wins. It's no wonder, after all, with Zheng Xiao, his strength is not enough to shake Yan Song, so he always has the effect of "spraying the enemy with blood".

If he joins forces with Xu Jie, the second major force in the DPRK and China, maybe the situation can really be improved? Thinking of this, Zhou Yan nodded solemnly, and secretly swore in his heart: Old friend, I will avenge your loss of office and the pain of losing your son.

As a result, this murder case in Andingmen, which caused a storm in the city, brought a new round of huge shocks to the imperial court. Zheng Xiao's party was wiped out, and Yan Song Group brought down an opponent. And the biggest beneficiary is Xu Jie, who does not move.

Yan Hong has no consciousness of causing trouble in this regard. Of course, he couldn't have imagined that because of his behavior, not only did he completely break Yan Shifan's plan to incorporate the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but also further caused Zheng Xiao and his party's original science and technology officials to all run under Xu Jie's wings, thus forming a group that was more threatening to Yan Song.

In his own opinion, Lao Tzu saved Feng Xiaoxian's life, not to mention, but also cleaned up Zheng Guoqi, a wolf-hearted beast, and he did feel a little proud in his heart. What kind of new imperial examination people, what kind of geniuses in the capital, provoke Lao Tzu to rise, and let your guy's head move!
