The smile on Zhang Zhi's face froze, and before he could identify who was from Dongchang who was going to arrest him, several people rushed over and took Zhang Zhi and Lu Ping right. Zhang Zhi hurriedly called: "This official is the official of the West Factory, why do you arrest the official of the East Factory?" This official is a meritorious man! This official wants to see the emperor! Zhang Zhi is a eunuch, and the voice of "this official and this official" is distorted, and it is really harsh.

Lu Ping saw that Zhang Zhi was unable to protect himself, so he kept shouting to Zhao Xiaohou: "The general save me!" General save me! ”

"You will see the emperor, but only after you confess." Yan Shisan said coldly to Zhang Zhi. The two were shackled, and two prisoner carts came out of the city gate, loaded Zhang Zhi and Lu Ping, and pulled them to Dongchang Prison.

"Cousin, I'm in a hurry to come back to drink your favorite wine," Zhao Xiaohou smiled at King Duan, "I didn't expect you to give me such a big gift before I entered the city." ”

"I'm not partial, and I have a big gift for Master Shen." Duanwang also smiled.

An envoy from the ministry stepped forward and preached: "Order Shen Congxi to serve as the governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, take up the post of the left deputy of the Imperial Palace, and report to the Metropolitan Procuratorate on the same day." Shen Congxi accepted the letter of appointment and smiled and bowed to King Duan.

Zhang Zhi spent the night in prison, Yan Shisan was stunned and didn't let him sleep, and the next day he was pulled to the Dongchang Hall, with no smile on his face, and he puffed out his eyes and waited for the person sitting in the hall.

In the middle of the hall sat Wang Man, and Duan Wang sat in a jury position. Zhang Zhi no longer pretended to be a smiling tiger, and sneered: "Wang Man, you and I are at the same level, why do you take me?" ”

"Why? Just by the emperor's dictation! Wang Man squinted and said: "You are so happy, lying about the military situation, defrauding the imperial court of disaster relief funds, saving military salaries, and sharing it privately with Lu Ping." It's not like once or twice, right, Jang Zhi? Also, how many taels of silver did you loot from the prefects? Isn't that clear to you? ”

Zhang Zhi's heart was shocked. At this time, he didn't know that the prefect of the two lakes and the filial piety of the silver were robbed. He thought that if the case was discovered, Ji Guogong and Xianwang would definitely be involved, and Concubine Ji would definitely think of protecting herself. So he was heartbroken and said, "What is 'looting'? It's just that the prefect below honors the emperor through me. You go to check, is there any money in the emperor's small treasury? ”

Wang Man expected that he would mention this stubble, and he had been prepared for it. He took out the filial piety list submitted by the Liangguang prefect, waved it to Zhang Zhi and said: "Of course the emperor knows that you only have 10,000 taels in the warehouse, but what you can recover is 3 million taels!" You are so bold, under the banner of the emperor, you bully the local government and fill your pockets! ”

Zhang Zhi panicked when he heard this, it is true that he received three million, and it is true that he gave the emperor one million, but isn't there still Ji Guogong and King Xian? Do they eat chickens and don't spit out their bones, and they take care of things?

As everyone knows, Ji Guogong did not receive the silver this time, and when he saw the number of three million, he thought that Zhang Zhi had swallowed it alone, and he was also angry. simply got rid of all the relationships with Zhang Zhi.

Seeing that something had happened to Zhang Zhi, King Xian hurriedly came to Ji Guogong and said, "Guogong, some time ago, Zhang Zhi sent someone to send 200,000 taels of silver to my house, if he pokes it out, what should I do?" ”

"You are a prince, only 200,000 taels are panicked like this, what will you do in the future?" Ji Guogong said with a dark face: "Who sent the silver over?" ”

When King Xian heard this, he made up his mind, and recalled: "I saw that they called 'Zhang Overseer', which should be Zhang Zhi's personal soldiers in this suppression of the Japanese army. ”

"What kind of soldiers does he have? In Xichang, he can't even drink soup under his meat-eating subordinates, so he should be Lu Ping's person. You call the person who received the money in the house that day, and I asked Ji Chuan to investigate and find the hacking to death. You've forgotten about that, too. "It's just a trivial matter, Ji Guogong said a word, and took out the dedication to the king.

In the lobby of the East Factory, Zhang Zhi still wanted to resist: "What have you done in the East Factory, don't think I don't know." Do you dare me to go to see the emperor? Don't dare! What has the West Factory done, I am not alone in handling it, what about the people in the West Factory? Ask them to come out and confront each other, which one of the piles and piles I made in the past is not for the emperor? ”

Wang Man glanced at him sympathetically, and said lightly: "Bring the Xichang certificate." ”

Two of Zhang Zhi's deputies were brought in. Usually, Zhang Zhi covers the sky with one hand in the West Factory, and uses his subordinates when doing things, which has benefits, but he never thought of helping his subordinates to do things and carry the black pot. The benefits have not been reaped, and the people in the West Factory will be spit on when they go out, are you wronged? His two deputies poured beans into the bamboo tube, and shook Zhang Zhi clean of all kinds of bad things that Zhang Zhi had left behind and blackmailed the officials below.

Zhang Zhi's face was green, but he was still lucky: Your Majesty, I haven't seen the Emperor yet!

"Torture, pry open his mouth for me!" The king called out hatefully. He has always hated Zhang Zhi for dividing his power in front of the emperor, and now that he has arrested Zhang Zhi, he will not let him get out of Dongchang easily, he thinks, if he can get Ji Guogong's handle from Zhang Zhi's mouth, it will be more perfect.

Who knew that it dragged on for less than half an hour, and Yan Shisan went back and forth: "This Zhang Zhitai has just walked away with a torture instrument without beating, and he died when he came down." ”

King Duan stood up and said with a smile: "Since the person is dead, and there is no drama to watch when he stays, this king will leave!" ”

It turned out that Duanwang collected 40 pieces of evidence for Zhang Zhi's various crimes, most of which were to deceive the Holy Hearing, deceive superiors and subordinates, and embezzle bribes. So King Duan found Wang Man, Wang Man was overjoyed when he saw it, and hurriedly presented it to the emperor. The emperor saw that the dead eunuch was less than half of what he gave me! The emperor was really furious, smashed all the dust in his hand, and instructed Dongchang to immediately investigate and punish Zhang Zhi and punish him severely.

Getting rid of Zhang Zhi not only made the West Factory collapse, but also cut off the financial route of the Ji family and the king.

Mrs. Yu's father, Yu Xianling, offered a plan to King Xian: "Why do you need to make money through an internal servant like Zhang Zhi? You have the right to recommend the king, as long as you take out some official positions to release them, the silver of the white flowers can flow directly into the palace of the king! ”

The king was silent, but he kept this living mouth in his heart.

In the Green Fragrance Building.

"You're getting married in a month, I'm worried that the Ji family and King Kang will do it in advance. Recently, their information has been very frequent, and the common point they pay attention to is all focused on one person, that is, Feng Guangcai, the governor of the five military camps! Ji Baiyu shook the goose feather fan in his hand and said.

King Duan nodded and said, "Yes, the emperor summoned Prince An and Prince Xiang back to Beijing, and after a day's festival, no news came out, so he let them go." I reckon, it's not that there is no news, but that someone doesn't want the news to flow out! ”

He asked Yan Shiyi again: "Is Aoki Cliff still staring?" ”

Yan Shi nodded a little and said with a smile: "The main thing is that Yu Shizi is staring, he is more concerned about Wushuang and Wuying." But there is not much movement in the valley, and I guess Ji Chuan is also quite disappointed in the nine madness. ”

Tang Yu looked at King Duan and said with a smile: "The Ji family and King Kang want to seize the position of the governor of the five armies, and the king and the Ji family are inseparable, interesting, interesting!" With the power of the army, it is time to start fighting each other. The position of the crown prince is about to come out. ”

"His Royal Highness King Duan, you can't hide it anymore!"
