A layer of fine beads of sweat had already appeared on Jing Kedong's forehead, his heart was at war between heaven and man, and he couldn't wait for Wu Ming's answer for a while, but he didn't know what to say, which made the atmosphere in the hall embarrassing and weird.

After a while, Wu Ming suddenly laughed, "Ming Gong misunderstood?" I just admired Grandpa Xu for a long time, and I couldn't be introduced, so I heard that Grandpa and Grandpa had a lot of dealings, and now I just want to be introduced. I don't know ......" At this point, he deliberately lengthened his tone and deliberately did not say all the words.

Obviously, Wu Ming had the initiative to talk between the two people, and Jing Kedong was restrained everywhere, and his request was really unexpected by Jing Kedong, he never expected that what he wanted was so simple. He still didn't believe it, and confirmed it again: "Brother Wu's words are true? ”

Woodming's restoration is simple and crisp.

"Seriously!"

Then he took out a gift slip from his sleeve and sent it to Jing Kedong.

"A thin gift, Ming Gong take a look, is it appropriate to give it to the little grandfather?"

Although Xu Wenjue is famous for making friends and receiving all kinds of calligraphy and ink, it is not something that ordinary people can see if they want to see it, and they must be recommended by actual acquaintances before they are willing to accept gifts, otherwise most of the time they only accept gifts and do not see each other. Therefore, it is also very rare for Jing Kedong to see Xu Wenjue overnight last night, of course, the factor and eighty percent of this is to see the face of Su Dongpo's authentic work.

And Wu Ming's gift list made Xu Wenjue's eyelids jump a few times involuntarily, but seeing that they were all things from the Sui and Tang dynasties and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, in addition to Yan Zhenqing's book, he also found a copy of Wang Xizhi's authentic handwriting. At this time, Jing Kedong's mentality changed abruptly, during which he was subtle and unspeakable to outsiders, but he himself was much more relaxed, and finally it was not the big rebellion he thought, he just asked to see Xu Wenjue, which he should be sure of.

It's no wonder that Wu Ming begged for his head, there are only a handful of officials who can go the right way in Nanjing, and most of them are prominent and powerful people in the city, and in fact, he can only be able to get a knot, so it is the right time for him to ask for his own door.

No matter how Jing Kedong is rumored in Nanjing, Grandpa Xu is also worried about the things he asked, and if he sees him now, he will not shirk it. At the same time, Jing Kedong also had the idea to send back the gift he had taken back before, to make up for the stupid mistake he made last night, which made the world laugh.

But Jing Kedong was curious about what he was capable of making his third brother's property in Anqing Mansion safe and sound? He asked the doubts in his heart, but Wu Ming pushed mysteriously, "Ming Gong just has to sit back and enjoy the results, and the twists and turns are not good for people to say, please forgive me!" ”

Wu Ming said politely and resolutely, Jing Kedong touched the soft nail and looked a little embarrassed, but he also noticed that the Xiucai in front of him was not an ordinary person, and he still didn't know a lot of things. With this thought, Jing Kedong's mentality became much calmer.

Woodman was also very happy, and kept the various gifts recorded on the gift list, and got up to leave. Jing Kedong looked at the literati treasures in front of him, and sighed with emotion, these things are just in his hands after all, and their master will eventually be that little grandfather Xu.

But in any case, Jing Kedong's hanging heart has landed a little, and he can sleep peacefully. Suddenly, he got an ambitious erection again, touched his concubine's bed, and slept contentedly after a lot of fighting.

In the middle of the night, Jing Kedong was sleeping in Zhengxiang, but suddenly heard the sound of breaking the door, and when he reacted in a daze, the whole person had been dragged to the courtyard with strips, and the frightened and sharp cry of the concubine was left behind him.

Jing Kedong knelt down in the courtyard with a stripe of stripes, and in a dim way, he found that a corner of green robe and soap boots appeared in front of him, and his heart suddenly raised his head to find that it was Zhu Yuncai, who was sentenced by Tianfu. This discovery made Jing Kedong feel humiliated. Zhang Juzheng once said that "the officials of the science and technology are the eyes and ears of the imperial court", which shows that the unique status of the officials of the science and technology is not comparable to the ordinary petty officials.

As for the supervision of power and the combination of low-grade official ranks, it was one of the measures taken by the imperial court to limit the power of officials. The Ming generation was not allowed to be elected as a branch of the Ming Dynasty, and its status in the minds of civilian officials was second only to the Hanlin Academy, which was the only way for the prime minister and the prime minister.

Zhu Yuncai is a thing, but he was born in one fell swoop, and he was fortunate to enter the Tianfu General Judgment, Jing Kedong had never looked at this person with his eyes on weekdays, but today he was kneeling in front of this person with a red strip, and this kind of bullying and anger quickly replaced the faint fear in his heart.

"Zhu Tong sentenced you to rebel?" Jing Kedong yelled inwardly, and soon was slapped by Soap Li, he quickly closed his mouth very familiarly, everyone understands the truth that a hero does not suffer the loss in front of him, but secretly in his heart, once he gets out and does not participate in this person, he will no longer be surnamed Zhu.

But Zhu Yuncai was not in a hurry to speak, but just stood in front of Jing Kedong, as if he was examining his wolf appearance. This made Jing Kedong even more uncomfortable.

"You, what do you want......"

It was only at this time that Zhu Yun coldly interrupted Jing Kedong's confidenceless questioning.

"Do you still have to ask the official what he has done? If you don't want to suffer from the flesh and skin, you should still recruit from the truth! ”

At the same time as Jing Kedong was questioning, a large number of powerful soldiers had already entered the mansion and gathered all the people together and drove them into the same room to take care of them. This posture made Jing Kedong secretly frightened, how to look at it was the prelude to the raid. But he secretly thought back to what he had done, and the most suspicious person was only the most suspicious Woodman he had just met. But he just asked to see Xu Wenjue, and he only agreed to the introduction, so why wouldn't it be in front of him...... Or did his third brother communicate with the enemy in Anqing and he was implicated?

While he was thinking wildly, the cold voice of the subject sounded again, "How?" Have you figured it out? ”

A cold urging made Jing Kedong's body tremble involuntarily, and he suddenly felt that this person was cold, which had never been seen before. From there, he couldn't afford the breeze of the Taoist official anymore, and replied honestly: "The lower official is confused, confused, and hasn't figured it out yet!" ”

"Okay, this official has a hint for you! Come, bring me the stolen goods! ”

When a box of calligraphy and ink was placed in front of Jing Kedong, he finally suddenly realized, sure enough, there was something wrong with Wu Ming, could it be that Zhu Yuncai mistakenly thought that the box of antique calligraphy and paintings was obtained by himself by taking bribes? Although the Ming Dynasty punished corruption during the Hongwu period, it is now the Chongzhen period, and which official does not accept some bribes? As long as a large amount of public money is embezzled blatantly, who has the heart to care about this matter? He has very little contact with Zhu Yuncai, and he has five grudges, he can't use this as a handle to punish himself, right?

And Zhu Yuncai's words completely chilled his heart.

"Wu Ming is a rebel for King Huai, what do you plan to do when you accept his things?"

Zhu Yuncai's face had big beads of sweat crackling and rolling, and he also knew that Zhu Yuncai had recently searched for people involved in Raozhou, Jiangxi Province in Nanjing City, and even let out his words, "You are willing to catch 3,000 by mistake, and you will not let go of a single person!" Those imprisoned were tortured. For such cruel methods, Jing Kedong also joined in the fun and wrote to his colleagues to impeach him for stealing the power of the prefect in the name of general judgment, and the prison affairs were so great that the people complained, and they didn't want to become a thing in this person's urn today.

"It's none of my business, Wu Ming came to the door by himself, he only said that he asked to see Grandpa Xu, let the lower officials introduce him. Those things are not for the lower officials, the lower officials are just passing through them, and there is nothing to take! ”

"Oh? In this way, it was Xu Wenjue who colluded with the traitor? And so do you testify? ”

Zhu Yuncai's cold voice was like a heavy hammer, slamming Jing Kedong's chest with every word that came out of his mouth. Where did he dare to accuse Xu Wenjue of being rebellious, unless he was tired of being alive, so he hurriedly shook his head like a merchant.

"Humph! So these things are still the stuff of your collusion with that Woodmin? Zhu Yuncai turned to smile instead of laughing.

"No, no, no! This is by no means for subordinates, by no means! ”

Zhu Yuncai sneered, the trick of the cat and mouse was almost played, and Jing Kedong's backbone had been completely discounted, so he changed the topic again.

"Whether it is a collusion or not, the official does not know, but he only knows that you have colluded with the rebels. As an official of the imperial court, you also know how to deal with such people, right? You don't need to bother with your own words, you can subdue yourself! ”

Jing Kedong hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, asking Zhu Yuncai to give him a chance to defend and make amends.

"It's not that the opportunity can't be given to you, it depends on your watch!"

"Xiaguan must be a good expression, a good expression!"

Seeing Jing Kedong cooperate so much, Zhu Yuncai smiled, and his smile was a little playful.

"Don't be in a hurry to say that you can show yourself well! You haven't listened to what this official wants you to do. ”

"What's more, the lower officials must do their best, and they won't spin their heels!" Jing Kedong is respectful!

Zhu Yuncai's tone softened, "Left and right, put on a dress for Master Jing, the scenery is cool in the middle of the night!" The left and right soldiers brought a cloth robe from nowhere to put it on him, and Jing Kedong noticed that Zhu Yuncai did not bring the miscellaneous servants of Ying Tianfu Soap, but the soldiers wearing the number. There is a chill in my heart, it seems that there is the support of big people behind this person's actions.

Seeing that Zhu Tongju was relieved, Jing Kedong was secretly lucky, thinking that he could finally escape the catastrophe. Who would have thought that Zhu Yuncai's words completely dragged him into the bottomless abyss.
