Duan Fei also said with a smile: "It should be, it should be, in the future, I will look at each other with my father-in-law, support each other, and never forget, Duan should have greeted Father-in-law Guo well, but Father-in-law Guo came late at night, there must be something important, it is better to have a good chat with my father-in-law another day." ”

Guo Zhen smiled and said: "It's okay, as long as it's Lord Duan's orders, I, Guo Zhen, will be with you, Lord Duan, Xiang Hao escaped from prison and committed suicide, this is a big deal, even the emperor was alarmed, the emperor ordered me to investigate this matter, Lord Duan might as well accompany me to the leopard room, right?" How about we talk slowly on the road? ”

Duan Fei got on Guo Zhen's sedan chair, the sedan chair was carried by Dongchang Fanzi, accompanied by a large number of people from Dongchang, Duan Fei also accompanied Wang Zuo, Wang Ping Jinyiwei, the sedan chair is the core of the middle line, both sides look at me and I look at you, there is a strange feeling, earlier this day the two sides were still incompatible, and at night, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and they were parallel on the avenue, which was really unpredictable.

In the sedan chair, Duan Fei and Guo Zhen chatted, and the two sides tried to make friends with each other, because both sides had a biggest enemy, so they quickly became acquainted.

After chatting for a while, Guo Zhen patted his thigh hatefully and said: "Zhang Rui, that guy, the emperor is too generous to him, and he didn't punish him much for doing such a thing. ”

Duan Fei comforted: "Father-in-law Guo, don't be angry, Zhang Rui is in a high position and cannot be easily shaken, but after this incident, the emperor must have been suspicious of him, in the future, father-in-law, as long as you pick up a few more words by the emperor's side, sooner or later Zhang Rui will fall out of favor and step down." ”

Guo Zhen sighed and said: "Lord Duan doesn't know, if Gonggong Zhang is just a high power, it's okay to say, we can't afford to hide, but the master of ceremonies has the power of finance and taxation, and all the expenses of the East Factory have to be allocated money from him, and Jinyiwei is about the same, he is pinching the money bag, we can't explain to the brothers below, Lord Duan, our life is not good." ”

Duan Fei didn't know about these things, he thought about it for a while, and said, "This is a trouble, if we have another way to get money, can we get rid of this old thing?" ”

Guo Zhen smiled bitterly: "How can it be so easy, is it possible that our East Factory and Jinyiwei still sell tea eggs on the street?" This is not good, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have hundreds of thousands of mouths. ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "There will always be a way, Zhang Rui can't pinch us too much, otherwise we will join forces to stab the emperor in front of him, I don't believe that he can cover the sky with one hand, don't worry, Gonggong Guo, today I can let him lose Dongchang, tomorrow I can let him lose more things." ”

Guo Zhen's face finally got better, he said with a smile: "Everything depends on Lord Duan, if this matter can be solved, what does Lord Duan tell me Guo Zhen will not miss even if it is a sea of fire!" ”

"Gonggong Guo's words are serious," Duan Fei said: "Xiang Hao, Duan Fei wants to ask Gonggong Guo for a small favor, it stands to reason that Xiang Hao's breaking into the prison is a felony......"

Duan Fei and Guo Zhen talked all the way, and only after coming to the leopard room did they look at each other and smile, and walked out of the sedan chair.

Zhengde hasn't rested yet, and when he saw the newspaper, the two of them immediately went upstairs, only to see that on the third floor, Zhengde was holding a book and reading it with relish.

Seeing the two of them coming up, Zhengde put down the book and said with a smile: "Guo Zhen, Guo Zhen, how did you do it, I asked you to investigate Xiang Hao's escape from prison, how did you arrest Duan Aiqing back?" ”

Guo Zhen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the slave didn't do anything wrong, that Xiang Hao ran away to his old mansion, isn't Lord Duan living there to handle the case?" As soon as the servant told Master Duan, Lord Duan volunteered to come with me to see the emperor, and the emperor should listen to Lord Duan's explanation. ”

Zhengde sighed and said, "What did Xiang Hao do when he ran back to the old mansion?" Why didn't you arrest him? Could it be that he escaped? Duan Aiqing, what's going on? ”

Duan Fei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter has to start with the coffin sent outside the door of the leopard room today, the people in the coffin have found out that it is the Jinyi Wei Shi Pingmao, who has been missing for more than ten years, Xiang Hao heard that Pingmao's bones were found, so he couldn't wait to escape from prison and go to see Pingmao's body." ”

Zhengde snorted and said, "Although the circumstances are excusable, but the sin is unforgivable, can't he endure it for one more day?" Where is Xiang Hao? I'm going to have to deal with him this time. ”

Guo Zhen said cautiously and softly: "Your Majesty, that Xiang Hao has committed suicide in front of Ping Mao Ling......"

"What?" Zhengde was taken aback, his eyes looked at Duan Fei, Duan Fei bowed slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, here's the thing, Xiang Hao and Ping Mao have a lot of relationship, according to the minister's suspicion, they are like husband and wife, and the orphans they adopted all call them their fathers, maybe Xiang Hao did something sorry for Ping Mao, Ping Mao actually committed suicide, Xiang Hao quietly buried him, but was seen by an orphan they adopted, this time Zhang Gonggong framed Xiang with white bones, and the result was that Ping Mao's real body was introduced, and Xiang Hao faced the orphan, grief-stricken, and even committed suicide......"

Zhengde was dumbfounded when he heard it, the story of Xiang Hao and Ping Mao evoked some of his memories, there seemed to be a layer of fog in his eyes, no one dared to disturb him, and it took a while for him to come back to his senses and say: "Xiang Hao and Ping Mao both committed suicide, sad, sighing, hey, I didn't expect this case to have so many twists and turns, and it was thanks to you to find out!" ”

Duan Fei said: "The minister is also just at the right time, he doesn't dare to take credit, Emperor, now that Xiang Hao is dead, how should he deal with the crime of hiding his body and escaping from prison?" ”

Zhengde said happily: "Everyone is dead, what else can be done?" Let their families take the bodies back and bury them. ”

Duan Fei said: "Your Majesty, Xiang Hao has already arranged the funeral, Pingmao has no relatives in Beijing, and his wife has already remarried, so how about the orphans they adopted to handle the funeral for them?" ”

Zhengde snorted and said, "That's it, is there anything else?" I'm a little sleepy. ”

Duan Fei's eyes were sharp, and he saw the words on the book that Zhengde was resting beside him, and he smiled: "The emperor is watching "Water Margin". ”

Zhengde sighed, looked down, and said with a smile: "You didn't look at the cover, you actually know that I watched the Water Margin, could it be that you have also seen it?" ”

Duan Fei said secretly: "I have not only read countless books, but also watched several versions of movies and television. ”

He said with a smile: "The minister heard that Mr. Storyteller said it, so as soon as I saw Li Kui's name, I knew that this was the Water Margin, and the emperor saw that he was drowned half dead in the river by the white stripes in the waves." ”

Zhengde patted the brocade beside him and said with a smile: "Yes, I only started reading it yesterday, come and sit down, this Water Margin is really a strange book for the ages." ”

PS: Everyone said that it was good, so that my confidence in the old lamp soared, but why didn't this collection and red tickets rise? is still the same sentence, no matter where you see this book, let's come and support the old lamp to collect this book, Duan Fei relies on the emperor's support to do things, and the readers are the emperor of the old lamp!
