Yan Shifan caressed Yan Hong's back who was kneeling obediently, and then said: "Hu'er has caused trouble this time, but you have made meritorious contributions. Fatherhood is also impartial. What you just said was a joke, and of course our family can't really reward you with the Grange. But Hong'er, don't worry, when you collect the treasure toad in the coming day, your grandfather and father will give you a big gift. ”

Yan Hong was happy to hear it in front, but he was embarrassed in the back. He really wanted to say that I have nothing to do with Bao Chan. However, it is really not interesting to defend this in front of grandpa and dad. What's more, his fear of this father also made him dare not say no at will.

"Okay, Hong'er, what you mean, I and Donglou have already understood. Stand down, you're injured today, go back to the house and rest. If there is any new movement, I will send another to call you. Yan Song said.

Yan Hong couldn't wait for this, and hurriedly kowtowed to his grandfather and father to thank him, and then walked out of the front hall step by step.

After Yan Hong left, Yan Song sighed: "Donglou, you have always been between the two Honghu brothers, it is inevitable that there will be deviations. Now it seems that Hong'er is more endured than Hu'er. ”

Yan Shifan was very happy: "Hu'er's performance this time made the child quite disappointed. Although Hongfu, who entrusted my father and mother, did not really make a big incident, my strict family rules naturally cannot be abolished because of others. The child thought that he would inform Hu'er when he turned back, and went back to his hometown of Yuanzhou, Jiangxi Province to stay for a year or two. ”

Yan Song nodded and said: "Hu'er seduces a girl, it's not a big deal, but the color word is the head, and there is no sense of proportion, I'm afraid that it will be even worse in the future." And your mother's side has to have an explanation. It's not bad to let Hu'er go back to Yanzhou first to stay. East Building, you have to persuade him when you turn back, and you should introspect yourself as a housekeeper, you may not have no future. ”

Yan Shifan smiled faintly: "Whether there is a future or not, it depends on the children and grandchildren to do it themselves." ”

In Yan Hu's courtyard, the door was closed, and the bedding on the bed was scattered, filling the air with an ambiguous smell. However, it was accompanied by a stormy and oppressive air in the house.

Yan Hu, the second young man of the Yan family, was already depressed to the extreme. As a member of the Yan family, he also knows what his grandmother hates the most, and he also understands the written or unwritten family rules of the Yan Mansion.

And his behavior today happened to be a taboo for his grandmother.

The maid beside her was disheveled, revealing her white neck, waist, chest, and thighs, with red marks and bruises. Like a lamb that had just been snatched away by a hungry wolf, she huddled in the corner tremblingly, not daring to make a sound.

Yan Hu was like a beast trapped in a cage, his eyes were red, and his mouth was snorting and panting. The two feet strode forward, swinging back and forth, and the hands were clenched into fists, waving from time to time.

"Drive me back to Yuanzhou! The boss went back to Yuanzhou and said that he would rent his house in three parts of the field, and I would just be a big steward when I returned to Yuanzhou, and I didn't have any rent in Yuanzhou! Outrageous! ”

He spun around in place a few times, and in his flexible and inadequately cultivated mind, a bunch of bad ideas flashed like a horse. He also knew that his grandmother's words would not be disobeyed by ordinary people, not to mention that his grandfather and father would not be optimistic about his performance today.

So, is it really okay to go to Yanzhou to be a rich young master in the countryside, sit and watch the business and grange in Beijing City being monopolized by the eldest brother, and sit and watch yourself be marginalized?

Thinking about it, if you want to survive in the dead, there is only one way to go.

It's just that this road is really dangerous, and he doesn't have any evidence in his hands, and he can be brought down by just rumors?

Yan Hu hesitated for a long time, and several times couldn't help but want to pull the maid over again to ravage the fire, but every time something came to the end, he felt a vicious aura go from below, so he had no energy.

After a few tosses like this, he felt that there was no other way to think of it.

Finally, Yan Hu gritted his teeth, tidied up his clothes, and walked viciously towards Yan Shifan's courtyard.

In the middle of the night, the confession of Jinyiwei's interrogation was also brought to Yan Song's father and son. It is said that Jinyiwei and Dongchang are royal spy organizations, and the confessions of interrogation can only be presented to the Son of Heaven. Except for the relevant personnel of Jinyiwei, no one else is allowed to watch it, nor can it be deleted, otherwise it is a capital crime.

It's just that now the Yan family is in full swing, and they are allies with Lu Bing, so this kind of thing is naturally hidden. What's more, Yan Ge Lao himself has the power to draft the edict on his behalf, and Yan Fu is still the direct victim of this assassination case, so why is it surprising to ask for a confession?

Since he no longer had to go to great lengths to bite the minister, it became a clean and honest confession, and the efficiency of Jinyiwei quickly improved. And the criminal laws in the brocade guard are indeed very acceptable. In addition, these assassins did not intend to survive in the first place, and since they would not implicate others, it seemed that there was no need to insist.

Therefore, after a short period of torture and confession, the Assassins finally confessed. The truth of this case is gradually coming out.

The main culprit, Hong Ji, was originally the captain of Zeng Mill's personal soldiers. Back then, because of the uneven road, he injured the nephew of the political envoy of Shaanxi. This nephew and young master was beaten, and after he went back, he was even frightened, and he suffered a little bit of wind and cold, and he actually died.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the phenomenon of nobility and military cheapness was already obvious. Although Zeng Mill was a scholar in Jiajing for eight years, he had profound qualifications, and he was appointed as the governor of the military department for trilateral military affairs, and he held great power. But that Shaanxi Buzheng is also a character from the two lists, with a hard waist, and a provincial uncle, and he is not afraid of Zeng Milling.

And the nephew of a civil official was beaten to death by a vulgar military man, and this kind of incident set off a storm in the local civilian bureaucracy. The big guys are full of righteous indignation, this is worth it, the soldiers dare to kill the nephews and young masters who are born in the two political envoys, could it be that these vulgar warriors want to bully us literati? Is it tolerable or unbearable! As for how the nephew of the political envoy used his power to bully others and rob the people's daughters, it was not for them to consider.

In this way, the officialdom in Shaanxi was full of emotion for a while, and they refused to give up until they took Hong Ji's life. This is a great deal. Although the border court army was in the pipe, and resisted the field, it had a heavy responsibility. However, the Ming Dynasty was not an era of warlord secession, and the daily needs of the army, such as the requisition and transfer of civil servants during wartime, all depended on the localities. What's more, if the matter is big, even he himself is afraid that he will be charged with arson and disturbing the people and indiscriminately killing innocents. Hongji could not bear to see the governor embarrassed by his own affairs, and was willing to surrender himself to the crime.

But Zeng Mill loved his martial arts, and finally couldn't bear to send him to death, so he sent him to Jiliao. On the one hand, he personally met with the political envoy many times, and did not hesitate to be subservient and subservient, turned around to mediate, and even invited a relatively upright person among the civil officials to do everything possible to find witnesses at the time and distinguish them, and finally reluctantly resolved the matter and avoided the political envoy from "chasing the murderer for thousands of miles". From this point of view, Zeng Milling recreated Hong Jien.

After Hong Ji arrived in Liaodong, he relied on his own ability and made many meritorious achievements, and was incorporated into the elite special service unit in the Jiliao border army "not collected at night". He also has a group of good friends who have lived and died, and those who fought together in Shaanxi also entered Liaodong with him. He often goes in and out of the border at night, engages with Tatar outposts, and even goes deep into the enemy's territory to spy on the military situation, which can be described as an elite soldier in a hundred battles.

Hong Ji originally planned to make more contributions to Jiliao and make a comeback, and then go back to Shaanxi to repay Zeng Engong. Who knew that he heard the bad news that Zeng Mo and Shoufu Xia Yan were killed by Yan Song, Yan Shifan's father and son in collusion with Lu Bing. When Hong Ji and his brothers heard the news, they were all grief-stricken, drew their swords and cut stones, and vowed to avenge Engong and kill all the traitors.

Wang Chen, the governor of Jiliao, although he is not a member of the Yan Sect, and his son Wang Shizhen has also scolded Yan Shifan, but the old man never wants to stand on the opposite side of Yan Song, let alone confront Yan Song for the sake of Zeng Milling. Moreover, it was not a troubled time, and unless the Governor rebelled, it was unlikely that he would pose any threat to the central cabinet. To rely on the strength of Jiliao Border Town to take revenge, of course, is a fool's dream.

Therefore, Hong Ji and a group of friends escaped from the border army and returned to their hometown. Hong Ji knew that Yan Song was in a high position, and if he wanted to kill him to take revenge, he had to be far-sighted. So he took his brothers incognito, practicing martial arts hard while pretending to be a circus troupe, wandering around, looking for opportunities.

Hong Ji's daughter Rou Niang, and son Hong An were also born with good embryos for martial arts, plus their families have far-reaching learning, and they have their own strengths. They also learned the corresponding skills for stabbing Yan Song to death, and then they decided to sell their art to enter Yan's mansion to assassinate. Hong Ji personally went to Beijing in disguise with two brothers, lived for several months, and found out the people of the Yan Mansion, especially the second young master Yan Hu's lustful and sloppy nature.

So a few months ago, the team entered Beijing from Shanxi and deliberately performed on the flyover, which finally attracted Yan Hu's eyes. In order to avenge Engong, Hongji's daughter Rou Niang did not hesitate to sacrifice her flower-like body to Yan Hu's bed for him to play with and ravage in every way. Although this is self-contemptible, it is so magnificent.

So, why was Mo Huaigu, a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, also implicated in it and attacked Yan Song?

It turned out that Mo Huaigu was a hereditary brocade robe, and he and Jinyiwei experienced Shen Lian very well, and they had eight friendships in the past. That Shen Lian was a jinshi in the seventeenth year of Jiajing (1538), who was upright and arrogant, jealous and hateful, and uninhibited. Shen Lian and Mo Huaigu are both Lu Bing's favorite generals, but Shen Lian is quite unstraight to Lu Bing's ally Yan Song Yan Shifan's father and son, and even directly scolded Yan Song for being a traitor, and was finally framed by Yan Shifan, beaten and sent to the border. And because Lu Bing didn't want to offend Yan Song, he didn't come out to help Shen Lian in this matter.

For this matter, Mo Huaigu has developed hatred for Yan's father and son, and he also has some complaints about Lu Bing's failure to save Shen Lian. In addition, Mo Huaigu and Shen Lian are brothers and sisters, and often hear Shen Lian scold Yan Song and his son for their dictatorship and chaos in the country, so they naturally regard Yan Song and his son as the culprits who plagued the tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty.

There is another case, Mo Huaigu went to Saiwai to handle the case and returned, his companions were all killed and wounded, surrounded and intercepted by Hu soldiers, and he was about to throw his body out of the wilderness, but he lost that Hong Ji, who was still under Zeng Milling, took a few brothers to patrol the sentry, and happened to encounter, a bloody battle, killing Hu Bing, Hong Ji was hit by an arrow in his neck, only an inch from his throat. For this reason, Mo Huaigu and Hong Ji and others also became friends of life and death.

This time, when Hong Ji entered Beijing, he first secretly contacted Mo Huaigu, who heard that they were going to kill Yan Song, and then remembered Shen Lian's hatred, so he readily agreed. So he also joined this group and agreed to act as an internal response.

Mo Huaigu and Shen Lian swore a knot, as their boss Lu Bing knew about it. But officialdom is no better than the green forest, and the worship is not a kind of beheading a chicken or burning yellow paper, it is just an oral ritual, and few people really take this kind of worship seriously. Lu Bing never imagined that the friendship between these two lovers was extraordinary, and he never imagined that Mo Huaigu would think of assassinating Ge Lao in order to avenge this friend who was not dead.

After Mo Huaigu and Hongji met in the capital, they immediately began to prepare for the assassination. Hong Ji led the members of the Qingyun class to get the opportunity to perform in Yan Mansion through Yan Hu's line; And Mo Huaigu, as a hundred households in Jinyiwei, took the initiative to ask Lu Bing to participate in the defense of the Yan Mansion, and then deliberately opened the net and let the Qingyun team in. If it weren't for Yan Hong who happened to be patrolling Yan Hu, it would really be unaware of the ghosts, and everything would be ready.

Hongji's plan after entering the palace is also two preparations: one is to find an opportunity to assassinate at the birthday banquet, and even kill all the ministers who are attached to Yan Song; Second, if the birthday banquet is well guarded and cannot be successful, then wait until the evening of the same day, when the main banquet is over, the guests disperse, the masters of the Yan Mansion hold a family banquet, and when the people eat rewards, they will take out the long soldiers hidden in the wooden poles and carry out assassination.

Thinking about that time, Mrs. Ouyang's birthday, the main process of the day has ended, and the whole house is full of eating and drinking, it is when the money is staggered and the wine is hot, who can think of taking precautions again? At that time, I am afraid that I will really kill a river of blood.
