The emperor really saw Chen Jiang and Hu Qing's two folds in the morning of the next day.

The emperor asked the chamberlain to bring two folds over, and when he looked at the folds at a glance, there was already a lot of noise in the hall.

Chen Jiang, the initiator of this storm, stood at the end of the line without squinting, his expression indifferent.

He had already made all the preparations, even the coffin and the place where the coffin was put have been found, all in Wanshouguan, and the Taoist priest who entrusted Wanshouguan to collect the body for him, he has already handed over the money for collecting the corpse and the coffin money for two years, and also said to Zhu Xi, and when the limelight has passed after two years, he will quietly find a place for him to enter the ground, no matter where he is, anywhere.

The courtyard where he lives now is a rented house, and it is not good for him to carry it in when he dies, and there are many laypeople, and the dead are spared in the yard, and it is not easy to rent it outside......

Chen Jiang didn't listen to the chaotic and excited quarrels in the hall, what they were arguing about, he and Zhu Xi had already thought about it I don't know how many times, he didn't bother to listen at this time, he only thought about his future arrangements, and there were any omissions, alas, even if there were omissions, it was too late.

The emperor quickly finished reading the two excerpts, pinched the excerpts, gritted his teeth and called Chen Jiang: "Chen Jiang!" ”

"The minister is here." Chen Jiang stepped out of the queue to the side, and in the eyes of the two rows on the left and right, he walked to the front and knelt on the ground.

Before Chen Jiang knelt down, the fold in the emperor's hand rushed towards Chen Jiang, "What did I tell you?" For such a big case, I asked you to find out clearly, and then tell me first...... You are full of unknowns, you make something out of nothing, I don't know anything, you dare to make the world clear? Do you think I've always been generous and merciful, and I wouldn't dare kill you? ”

"Go back to the emperor," Chen Jiang knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the fold that smashed over with his head, "The minister asked the emperor to see the day before yesterday, just to report the case, the emperor said that it was not necessary, let the minister hand over the fold, and the minister handed the fold." ”

"It's all over the place, and you still dare to play such a little trick with me?" The emperor laughed angrily, "Looking at me, this Ming Jun can deceive him, do you think I can be played with by you?" ”

"The minister doesn't dare, the Potai Mountain case, it is indeed as the emperor said, until now, many unknowns, the minister Ming folded and handed it over, but I want these unknowns to continue to investigate, not like the robbery of the Qin Palace, a person who surrendered himself suddenly appeared, and covered up all the unknown!"

Chen Jiang said word by word, the words were clear, and the tone was tough.

The emperor looked directly at him, and he couldn't believe his ears, his eyes.

"You! Good, good! Okay, you're trying to make a name for yourself, right? You've found a shortcut to fame, haven't you? If I kill you, I will fulfill your name, and if I don't kill you, I will be afraid of you, right? I hate scheming villains like you the most! ”

The emperor's face turned blue with anger, "Come on, drag him down, let ......"

"Your Majesty!" Jin Xiang took a step forward, knelt on the ground, and his voice was the highest, interrupting the emperor's angry roar, "The emperor is angry, Chen Jiang is lonely, not close to people, but he is a person who can do practical things, this is what the emperor said to the ministers when he ordered Chen Jiang to check the big and small bow case, the emperor also said that people like Chen Jiang can't speak, let the ministers and others be more inclusive, don't worry about him, the emperor, Chen Jiang, this person, the emperor has long known, has long seen through, the emperor is angry, the emperor knows Chen Jiang's loneliness, Please don't worry about people like Chen Jiang who don't understand the world. ”

"Is he lonely and can't be in the world?" The emperor stared at Jin Xiang, who knelt in front of Chen Jiang, and his anger did not go down, but rushed up even more, "He is playing tricks to deceive me, is this lonely and ununderstanding of the world?" He's a bully! ”

"Your Majesty, please calm the emperor's anger, the Potai Mountain case, Chen Jiang has found the old minister, saying that there are many unknowns, it will take time to carefully investigate, the emperor is urging urgently, he really can't find out and close the case within the time limit, Chen Jiang's fold is the fault of the minister, what is the disposal, it should be accepted by the minister."

The metal phase kowtowed to the ground.

The emperor's face was pale, he squinted slightly at Jin Xiang, and sneered, "You are selling the old according to the old, I think I don't dare to do anything to you, right?" ”

"Your Majesty, Chen Jiang's clear fold, although he is reckless, is not a big mistake, please let the emperor know it." Yan Xiang hung his head and knelt next to Jin Xiang.

Chen Jiang looked at Jin Xiang who was kneeling in front of him with a little apprehension, and Yan Xiang who had just knelt down.

Jin Xiang, and Yan Xiang will definitely lend a helping hand, which he thought of, but this help should be quietly, moisturizing things silently, like now, directly blocking the front for him, which he never expected.

After being stunned, Chen Jiang only felt a burst of spicy breath rushing up, and the tears that rushed straight up blurred.

"Good, good!" The emperor's anger was even stronger.

"Father," the crown prince, who was standing between the ministers and the emperor, bowed to the emperor and said: "Chen Jiang's clear fold and Hu Qing's excerpt are worried, and he is also calculating his father's love for his son. Fortunately, his father was discerning, "the prince turned to the ministers, "knowing Chen Jiang's villain's heart, my father was angry, but it was because among the ministers in the palace, there were such obscene villains." ”

"Father, the character and temper of the son-in-law, the father knows very well that the son-in-law is upright and upright, and he is not afraid of such slander, this is a trivial matter, and the father will give him some more time to let Chen Jiang find out and find out, and it is also a return to the innocence of the son-in-law."

"The minister seconded the prince." As soon as the prince's voice fell, Wei Xiang immediately came out, "It's just that the minister thinks that this case is no longer suitable for Chen Jiang to be in charge alone, and the minister thinks that it is better to let the crown prince Shi Jiang Yanshi and Chen Jiang jointly investigate the case." ”

The emperor looked at Wei Xiang coldly, from Wei Xiang saw Jin Xiang kneeling on the ground, then looked at Chen Jiang, and snorted coldly, "Are you all blind about Chen Jiang's bullying of the king?" ”

Wei Xiang was stunned, and hurriedly knelt on the ground with his head down, and the prince also knelt down.

"You are doing all those shady things behind my back, do I really not know? I am clear and clear, the first emperor often said, with the light and dust, I will open my eyes and close my eyes, and the light and dust, under my tolerance, you really don't know it? ”

The emperor's gloomy gaze went from the crown prince to Chen Jiang, and then to the ministers in the palace.

"With the Dali Temple trial of Chen Jiang's case of bullying the king, Jin Xiang is old, and he has worked hard for the country for all these years, so it's time to take a good rest. In Beijing, the book is vacant, and the ministers are pushing the people who can take responsibility, and they will hand the folds up today. As for you, I know you very well,"

The emperor looked at the crown prince, "You turned a blind eye to Chen Jiang's crime of bullying the monarch, and only thought about your innocence, what innocence do you have?" Do you really think I don't know what you're doing? I see that you think too much and read too little, and from today on, you will study in your womb for a few years behind closed doors! ”

After the emperor finished speaking, he stood up and walked away angrily.

Everyone came out, King Qin had just arrived at the gate of the mansion, and the chamberlain who delivered the decree also arrived, and he simply issued a few words of the holy decree: King Qin did not do a good job, and he was sluggish, so he cut off the prince and reduced him to the king.

King Qin took the holy decree, sent the chamberlain away, and casually handed the decree to Jin Zhuoyan, who came out, and signaled Huaixi, "Let people change the plaque, and remind them everywhere." ”

Huaixi responded, Jin Zhuoyan took the holy decree, handed it to Mingjing, and motioned for him to hurry up and send it to the princess.

King Qin looked at Mingjing holding the roll of bright yellow, slipped a cigarette and went in the back, and walked in with Jin Shuyan and Lu Yi while talking about the events of the early dynasty today.

That will was quickly delivered to Li Xia, including the bits and pieces that were facing up this morning.

Li Xia spread the holy decree on the bookcase, read it, raised his eyebrows slightly and fell, rolled up the will, and put it on the bookshelf next to him. In the corner of the bookshelf, there were already four or five volumes of colorful decrees.

"Second Master Ding has arrived." Hu Ying's voice sounded outside the door of the warm pavilion, the curtain was lifted, and Ding Ze'an came in and saluted.

"Found it?" Li Xia looked at the faint excitement in Ding Ze'an's eyes and asked with a smile.

"Yes," Ding Ze'an was a little surprised, subconsciously coughed lightly, lowered his eyelids and raised them again, he had already hidden the excitement and excitement in his eyes, and replied with his hand: "According to the princess's instructions, I went to the area of Xiaoyan Temple outside Tianbo Gate, but after half a day's effort, I inquired about the family surnamed Zhang, and before I could speak, the old man of the Zhang family recognized me first, saying that he went to kowtow outside the gate of our house every year, and saw me two or three times." ”

Ding Ze'an looked up at Li Xia with admiration.

Early yesterday morning, he received instructions to go to the area of Xiaoyan Temple to find a family with the surname Zhang, and when he found the family with the surname Zhang, he talked a few words, carefully asked who was in his family, and paid special attention to whether there was anyone on an errand in the palace.

At that time, he still wondered who the surname Zhang was, and why he had to go in person......

"Old man Zhang has an elder brother, who entered the palace at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and now he is waiting by Eunuch Cui's side, saying that he has been waiting by Eunuch Cui for more than 30 years.

Mr. Zhang's eldest son first opened a tea shop on West Jiaolou Street, saying that the business was excellent, and now, three have been opened, and Mr. Zhang's second son succeeded to his brother's name, and now he is a third-class guard in the guard office, and Mr. Zhang said that he was entrusted with the blessing of his wife. Old man Zhang also has three daughters......"

"Needless to say." Li Xia raised his hand to stop Ding Ze'an, "It's his brother, his brother goes back every ten days, extremely regular, every ten days, you go to meet his brother, ask him, in the past ten days, who has Eunuch Cui seen, what has he said, and is there anything abnormal." ”

Li Xia commanded.

"Yes." Ding Ze'an agreed, looked up at Li Xia, and asked, "This chapter family?" ”

"Huh? Didn't Zhang Dalu tell you? You didn't ask your wife? Li Xia also became strange.

"Old man Zhang is a great general, a great benefactor, I asked, he first said that you must know, and then said that the general is a great benefactor, and then he didn't know where to go.

Old man Zhang is old, it is really upside down, I thought that the wife must know, so I didn't ask much, who knows, I went back to ask the wife yesterday, the wife and the aunt, even the name of Zhang Dalu, I don't remember the silk. ”

Ding Ze'an spread his hands and smiled wryly.

Li Xia raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, she didn't expect that Old Madam Miao didn't even remember who Zhang Dalu was, well, too, back then, she had thousands of troops and a pawn, how could she remember.

Zhang Dalu's hometown is Baoding, he lost his parents when he was very young, Zhang Dalu's brother Zhang Dashan couldn't stand it with hunger, and sold himself, but he didn't expect to sell it to a person who specializes in palace business, and was purified and brought into the capital.

Zhang Dalu took a string of big money that his brother sold himself, and the big money was snatched away on the same day, Zhang Dalu was also abducted and sold, all the way, he was sold to a family, went to military service for his son, and was assigned to your wife.

The first time he went to the battlefield, he was frightened and incontinent, he was lucky and saved his life, but he was beaten by Wu Chang with a blue nose and swollen face, and he hid and cried, and happened to run into your wife's camp.

Your wife heard him talk about his life experience, saying that he had two brothers, one of whom was clean, and if he lost his life, their Zhang family would be extinct, so she transferred him to be a firehead soldier.

He carried the pot on his back and followed your wife's team, and after a few years of fighting, he actually saved his life.

When the emperor was transferred back to the Fifth Route Army, the soldiers who had been in the country for more than five years were removed from their hometowns, so he begged to return to his hometown, but he did not return to Baoding, and went directly to the capital to find his brother Zhang Dashan. ”

Li Xia sighed softly.

This Zhang Dalu, the words of understanding from Mrs. Miao, and the fact that he became a firehead soldier, remembered it for a lifetime, and was grateful for a lifetime, until later, this kindness was borrowed by her......

"Eunuch Cui is extremely shrewd, when you go to the Zhang family, be careful, don't get into trouble with the Zhang family." Li Xia instructed.

"Don't worry, princess." Ding Ze'an hurriedly agreed.
