Chapter 145: The Troubles of the Qing Officials

Yan Song couldn't help but smile when he heard Yan Shifan say this: "In this way, Hong'er is going to make a great contribution to Yan Mansion this time." But I heard that Zheng Guoqi was famous, and if Hong'er tortured him, it would not look good in the court. ”

Yan Shifan also sneered: "Even if it is really a trick for the little rabbit cub surnamed Zheng, the child has a way to make Zheng Xiao speechless." How strong was Yang Jisheng at the beginning, wasn't he concocted to death by a child? Zheng Guoqi is such a gentleman, what is it? ”

The iron-clad Yang Jisheng, if he knew that Lu Dao himself was actually compared with Zheng Guoqi by Yan Shifan, it is estimated that under Jiuquan, he would be angry and alive.

Of course, Yan Shifan couldn't feel the resentment of the heroic soul, and continued: "Besides, father don't underestimate Hong'er's tricks. Since this child fell from the horse, he has always done things very strangely, so that the child sometimes can't figure it out. Besides, there is also the matter of the object, and it is difficult to rest assured. ”

Yan Song coughed lightly and said, "Donglou, you are here again." Hengzhi always can't trust Hong'er. Hasn't Xi Tong already carefully investigated the matter of that object? If you don't have it, you don't have to, and you have to find it to be happy? I see, after Hong'er fell off the horse, she was sensible and promising, maybe the three generations of the Yan family really had a capability. ”

Just when the two of Yan Fuquan were planning the government and household affairs, the home of Zheng Xiao, Zheng Xiao, Zheng Xiao, and Zheng Fu, the imperial envoy of the capital, was a gloomy fog at this time.

This Zheng Xiao is fifty-eight years old this year, the first in the township test in the first year of Jiajing, and the second year of Jiajing Dengjinshi, he is also an old qualification in the court, and Yan Song's party has also fought many times.

Zheng Xiao's wife died many years ago, and he was followed by a wife, Gu. This Gu Niangzi came from the family of Jin merchants, and her family was wealthy, and she was related to Yang Bo, the secretary of the military department who was at home, and Zhang Siwei, the editor of Hanlin at the time, and other Shanxi ministers.

Zheng Lao Dutang is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he is a well-known figure in the clear stream, he wants face, it is not good to collect ice and charcoal two respects, and his income is not very much, and he has to deal with officialdom and social exchanges, and he is very shy in his pocket. It all relied on the strong support of Gu Niangzi's mother's family and filled in a lot of silver, which made her a good name for generosity and righteousness among the Jingshi.

Gu Niangzi is not only beautiful, but also has a good way to govern the family, and she is very favored in front of Zheng Xiao. And this Zheng Guoqi was born to this Gu Niangzi, and it is the flesh of her heart. Usually pampered, needless to say. And Zheng Guoqi is partial and competitive, Yunwen Yunwu, and suave, so he has become the pearl of the old couple.

Especially Gu Niangzi, although the child is in her early twenties, she is still afraid of the cold in her hand, and she is afraid of melting in her mouth.

Now, hearing that her son killed Yan Ge's eldest grandson and was taken to prison, Gu Niangzi only felt that the sky had fallen. She ripped up a green silk, scratched the hibiscus noodles, cried and made trouble, threw herself into the well and hanged herself, making a chicken and dog restless.

When Zheng Lao Dutang heard the news, he was also sweating profusely, and he didn't know what to say. But after all, he is a famous courtier, and he acts in a measured manner. Hearing what happened, I couldn't help but be full of anger:

"Hmph, this son of a, it's not good to study at home, and he goes to fight with others. Since the death of a human being, it is better to break it according to the law! ”

"What? Do you still have to follow the law? My miserable child...... "Where did Mrs. Gu hear this?" suddenly had a seizure, not only crying loudly, but also pulling Zheng Xiao, splashing and dragging, making Zheng Lao Dutang dizzy. After a few moments, Zheng Lao Dutang couldn't resist it, and hurriedly turned around:

"Madame, ma'am. Don't make trouble, the national weapon is also the old man's child, he was arrested, why isn't the old man in a hurry? But it's useless for you to make such a fuss. Zheng Xiao's Zhongjing crown didn't know where Lu Dao was thrown by his wife, and his swallow clothes were almost torn, and his white beard was torn off, but he didn't dare to attack. If those students really see the teacher in such an embarrassed manner, I really don't know how to feel.

Gu Niangzi cried a lot, and also felt tired, so she sat down with the help of the maid, tears rained down, and cried: "Master, concubine, I am in charge of the family business for your Zheng family, and I am busy with it, so I don't dare to take credit, but I also have merit." Siguan is my top baby, and now that he has been taken to prison, I am afraid that he will not be able to get out. Master, you have to think of a way, if something goes wrong with the four officials, I won't be alive as a concubine! As he spoke, he began to cry again.

In the past, Zheng Xiao was a famous minister who did not move and was not shocked, but now, if he cares about it, he can't pick it up at all. But under the chaos, he did not lose his basic calm. He kept persuading: "Madam, ma'am! You listen to the old man slowly, this matter is expected to be strange, you let the old man think about it or two, and get a perfect charter. He pondered for it.

Zheng Dadutang once supervised the suppression of the Japanese people, and later took charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, his experience and knowledge are indeed extraordinary, and he knows that there is a great reputation in this matter. According to the situation relayed by Li Tianzhao and Li Dacaizi, this matter was indeed provoked by Yan Hong and Jinyi Wei first entering Shanying Temple. Strictly speaking, it was Yan Hong's first move. And Zheng Guoqi did only pay it back, and Yan Hong was defeated. This process, how to look at how wrong.

Yan Hong broke into the temple, provoked, moved, beaten, and "died" in one go, and then Jinyiwei immediately grabbed Zheng Guoqi. The whole process is a bit of a "pre-arranged" flavor no matter how you look at it.

Besides, if it was really his son who killed Yan Hong, wouldn't the Yan family have made a fuss at this time? But the servants who were now sent to the direction of Yan Mansion to investigate the news did not report any news. And there were no large numbers of brocade clothes around his mansion to snoop, which proved that the Yan family did not want to poison him.

Is Yan Hong really dead, or is it a deliberate trap? What was the purpose of his trap? Lao Dutang wanted to think about it thoroughly, and then reason, but it was expected that he was a second-class master, and even if Jinyiwei was bold, he didn't dare to punish his own child, so he wasn't very worried.

After thinking for a while, Zheng Xiao slapped the table: "I understand!" ”

Gu Niangzi raised her eyes and asked, "Master, what do you understand?" ”

Zheng Xiao's eyes widened angrily and said: "This must be the trick of Yan Song and Yan Shifan's father and son!" They deliberately made Yan Hong's gang provoke, and then pretended to be dead, and took my son into Jinyiwei, in order to blackmail me. Recently, Yan Song has been a group of minions, and many illegal things have occurred frequently. For example, the rumors that his godson, Zhao Wenhua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, colluded with maritime merchants and took bribes privately have long been circulating in the capital. The thieves were afraid of the impeachment of the imperial history of our Imperial Procuratorate, so they struck first, thinking that if they took the four officials, I would be helpless against them! ”

Gu Niangzi said: "Then, how are you going to do it, master?" ”

Zheng Xiao sneered: "This kind of pickling method wants to block the mouth of the world, it's ridiculous!" The old man wants to see what they dare to do with the four senses! ”

Gu Niangzi is a woman after all, her knowledge and bearing are very limited, and she has long heard of all kinds of horrors in the edict prison, where is she calm? Seeing that her husband was still pretending to be selfless here, she couldn't help but be furious. She didn't care about her face, and she hid her face and cried:

"Ruthless old killer, you just watched your son die? People go to the edict prison, at this time I don't know how many punishments I have suffered, what brocade clothes and guards eighteen road techniques, wearing linen and filial piety, red embroidered shoes and so on, I don't know how much, my poor child, I have not been willing to move a finger of him since I was a child, but today I suffered a big crime! If you hadn't made that stinky face in the past and offended Yan Ge Lao, we wouldn't have ended up in today's field! ”

Zheng Xiao hurriedly comforted his wife and said, "Madam, madam, listen to me." If the four officials really killed Yan Hong, then what else is there to say? You just kneel and kowtow, and Yan Song can't take a break, just ask the four officials to give him a life and a life. But in the old man's opinion, this matter was purely a trick set up by the Yan government, wanting to frame him. That Yan Hong is probably not a big deal. In this case, when Yan Hong's life and death are ascertained, they will naturally have to let the four officials out. Madam, don't worry, the four officials are also famous, if you dare to use torture to wronged him casually in the prison, the old man will not spare these minions! As the saying goes, the body is not afraid of shadows, the four officials are innocent and a child of an official eunuch, even if he goes to prison, it doesn't matter! It was Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, although he formed a party with Yan Song, and he had many means to investigate the case, but he would not add false charges to the four officials in vain. The old man went to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and asked them to rescue the four officials. ”

Zheng Xiao was talking eloquently here, thinking that he had a plan, but he didn't know that Gu Niangzi was more and more frightened when he heard it. After Zheng Xiao finished speaking, she couldn't help but cry: "Master, you don't know anything. Four officials, he ...... He's got a murder on his back! This is going to go to prison and be interrogated, and it will be a head! ”

"What?" Zheng Xiao's two long eyebrows almost leaned together: "There is a murder case on the four officials?" Who did he kill? Madame, come with me quickly! ”

At this point, Gu Niangzi no longer dared to hide it, so she had to take a sobs and tell what had happened.

It turned out that this Gu lady blindly doted on her own son, and Zheng Guoqi hooked up with Miss Yin San, but the little maid of the Yin family, Zhuqing, also quietly told this lady. Gu Niangzi also felt that it was inappropriate, and admonished her son a few words in private. But this admonition had no effect, and Gu Niangzi let it go. Anyway, he is a son, so he can't suffer a loss. Yin Fucheng didn't teach his own daughter well, who is to blame?

At dusk that day, Zheng Xiao was still running errands in the imperial court, and Gu Niangzi was at home. But seeing Zheng Guoqi panicked, he ran back for his life and told his mother, saying that I had killed someone by mistake. At that time, Gu Niangzi was like a thunderbolt from the sky, angry and anxious, I couldn't imagine that this son was so uncompromising. But seeing her son's pitiful appearance of kneeling in front of his mother and begging for mercy, Gu Niangzi's heart softened again and decided to help her son cover up the matter.
