Chapter 554: Crisis
Wang Yong took off the rope ring and spat and said: "Cheap bones, don't shed tears if you don't see the coffin." ”
Song Nan stared at Cai Renliang with two sharp eyes and said: "If you think about playing tricks, I will let you die a miserable death, from now on, there will be Jinyi Wei around your outer house to monitor around the clock, and General Jinyi Wei Dahan will mobilize a general banner to monitor you, once you have any abnormal movements, you will be called to a different place, do you understand?" ”
Cai Renliang shook his body and said, "How dare you." Cai Ren's conscience understands very well that any of his actions can't escape the surveillance of Jinyiwei, even if he is lucky enough to avoid these surveillance and run to inform, what can he use to prove it? Who will take their word for it? Who would believe that Song Nan would force himself to make a dragon robe for him? No one will believe such a ridiculous thing, and he will still give his life.
"Very good, here are 20,000 taels of silver tickets, I know that the procedures for making the dragon robe are complicated and the cost is huge, these silver should be enough, I must get it within five days." Song Nan took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and put them on the case.
"Master Hou......" Cai Renliang said with a sad face: "Make a dragon robe within five days, you might as well kill me." ”
Song Nan frowned and said, "What?" ”
"It takes months for dozens of tailors to complete a dragon robe, and it takes more than a month for embroidery alone, not to mention all kinds of crafts such as printing, dyeing and cutting, unless adults just want to look like it."
Song Nan was stunned and said, "How many months? That's not possible, I can't make a show, what I want is a real dragon robe, it must be real, and it must be within five days. ”
Cai Renliang fell to the ground softly and said: "You still strangle me, five days, unless the Weaver Girl in the sky descends to earth." ”。
Things are at an impasse, Song Nan will never wait for months, let alone months, ten days and half a month will not be possible, firstly, Liu Jin's eyeliner is all over the place, and it is very easy for the news to leak, and secondly, there are some false evidence in his original plan design that cannot be kept secret for too long.
For example, some of the entries and exits in the prince's account book, such as the letter of allegiance of Zhang Cai, the left servant of the ministry, are all evidence forged by Song Nan; Song Nan told Zhengde that he was worried that he would not arrest him, but once there was no progress for a long time, Zhengde would inevitably ask questions, and if he used this as evidence to arrest Zhang Cai, the matter would be revealed immediately, and he would immediately fall into trouble.
Song Nan paced the room quickly, his brows twisted into two pimples; Wang Yong and Zhang Yong also rubbed their hands anxiously and stomped their feet and sighed.
Cai Renliang suddenly said: "Is it true that Master Hou can do things as long as it is a real dragon robe?" ”
Song Nan stopped and said, "Of course." ”
Cai Renliang said: "Does it matter if the old is new? ”
"It's better to be new, but it's okay to be old."
Cai Renliang said: "There are ready-made dragon robes in Shangyi Prison, why don't you take them out and use them?" ”
Zhang Yong shook his head and said, "Haven't you thought about it?" The two dragon robes of the Shangyi Supervisor have to be ironed and cleaned every day, and the eunuchs of the Shangyi Prison write maintenance records every day. When the time comes, it will be troublesome. ”
Cai Renliang said: "We know this rule, but I'm not talking about these two, there is another one in the treasury of the Shangyi Supervisor, which is the dragon robe left by the former emperor, and the first emperor wore one when he was funeral, and the other was only used once when he made a new dragon robe for the current emperor, and then it was locked in the treasury of the Shangyi Supervisor, and this dragon robe does not have to be taken out and often maintained and ironed, because it is the clothes of the former emperor, and the emperor will not wear it." ”
Song Nan's eyes lit up and said, "Is there a way to get it out?" ”
Cai Renliang frowned and said: "It's very difficult, the master key of the Shangyi Prison Treasury is in the hands of the chief eunuch Sun Jin, how to get the key to unlock the lock is a problem, this guy is a ghost, and he doesn't like to get close to people; In addition, even if you get the key to the warehouse, there are many cages in the warehouse, and valuables such as dragon robes must be locked and locked somewhere, you still need to find the key. ”
Song Nan pondered for a moment and turned his head to Wang Yong and said, "Send someone tomorrow to check the details of this Sun Jin." ”
Everyone understood that Song Nan was going to pull Sun Jin's pigtails, Cai Renliang rolled his eyes and said: "Master Hou, I'm afraid you don't believe it, this Sun Jin is a strange person, I have been on duty in the palace for so many years, and I haven't heard of any misdeeds in him, he neither loves money, nor does he love to pull a relationship with the upper position, his position as a Shangyi supervisor was still given to him by Xiao Jingxiao's father-in-law back then, and he has been a Shangyi eunuch for decades before he became this position, and he is also very responsible." ”
Song Nan nodded and said: "No one is perfect, no one in this world has weaknesses, I haven't seen it yet, let's see." ”
Cai Renliang nodded yes, glad that he was finally able to get rid of this matter, so he listened to Song Nan and said: "Father-in-law Cai, there are many disturbances today, I will go first; But I'll still come to you for help, you've been in the Shangyi Prison's warehouse, and you'll have to work hard when I get the key. ”
Cai Renliang wanted to cry without tears, but he was helpless, after respectfully sending Song Nan, Zhang Yong and others away, he was covered in cold sweat, until now Cai Renliang didn't understand what the use of this Song Marquis had the audacity to get a dragon robe.
……
The panic in Liu Jin's heart became stronger and stronger, especially after the continuous temptation, the sensitive and worried Liu Jin could almost conclude that there was a huge conspiracy against himself being planned; Zhang Yong's more and more presumptuous eyes and words are like the face of a villain who is about to become ambitious, this scene Liu Jin is no stranger to at all, when Wang Yue Fan Heng was about to fall, he was also this face in front of them.
And Zhengde's attitude towards Liu Jin has an indescribable alienation, although he can't see anything wrong when he accompanies him every day, but Liu Jin understands in his heart that compared with before, Zhengde has nothing to say to himself before, and now Zhengde will also talk to himself, but there always seems to be a temptation and pun in his words.
In some moments occasionally, Liu Jin can even find Zhengde's thoughtful and secretly peeping at his expression, this kind of expression has never been seen in the previous ten years of getting along, this young man has always laughed and scolded in front of him, even if he scolds himself and beats himself, it is also a kind of intimacy, looking at himself thoughtfully like this, it simply makes Liu Jin's legs and stomach weak.
On the slope of Xiyuan Mountain, under the bright sunshine, Liu Jin accompanied Zhengde to wander on the grass, and Zhengde seemed to have a conversation with Liu Jin unintentionally.
"Xiao Jinzi, why do you say Zhu Ningxiao rebelled? I have always wondered if he really has any intentions for my throne. ”
"Your Majesty, this fang is ill-intentioned and delusional, the emperor doesn't have to think about him."
"I thought that the world was peaceful and prosperous, but in the past two years, Liu Liu and Liu Qi rebelled, and Zhu Ningyan also rebelled.
"Your Majesty...... The slave doesn't know this, the slave doesn't know how to read minds, the slave only knows her mind, that is, she is wholeheartedly loyal to the emperor. ”
"King Ning, King Anqing, King Anxi, King Jinduan, etc., all congratulated me on quelling the rebellion, but I saw something different between the lines, King Ning was even more outspoken, saying that I should not be in the line of King Qing, violating the previous decree of only punishing the chief evil and not coercing him; It's true that I didn't want to kill the descendants of King Qing's lineage at the beginning, but you tried your best to persuade me to stop the world from trouble, and now it seems that I shouldn't have listened to you in the first place. ”
"The slave and the maid are dead, and the slave and the maid should not say much, but the slave and the maid always think that there is nothing wrong with this matter, the emperor is the master of the world, why bother with the words of the princes."
"You're letting me ignore their feelings and offend them all, Liu Jin, what are your intentions?"
Liu Jin changed color and knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "How dare the slave." The emperor is aware of everything, and the slaves and maids are also for the sake of the emperor, if they don't kill a hundred people, how can they warn the world? ”
"That's it, I don't blame you, I just think that there are some practices that I shouldn't listen to you, and besides, I heard that you went to ask during the trial of the Three Law Divisions? I heard that you asked the three law divisions to judge the case and execute it, right? There was no confession of Zhu Ningyao's guilt in the case file of the three law divisions, so he hurriedly beheaded him; I don't understand why you don't allow them to get a confession. ”
Liu Jin was sweating all over, these things were all done by him trying to figure out Zhengde's thoughts, Zhengde was furious at the time, and wanted to put Zhu Ningxiao to death as soon as possible, he just went to urge it, and besides, the facts of Zhu Ningxiao's rebellion were there, and there was no need to obtain a confession at all, and the emperor would be comfortable by killing early, but now Zhengde asked such a thing.
"Liu Jin, I can't understand you more and more, do you have something to hide from me? If you can't trust me, why should I trust your loyalty to me? ”
Zhengde's words seemed to float from the clouds, vague and misty, Liu Jin began to chill, he finally grasped some connections from these words, a series of strangeness came from these doubts in Zhengde's heart, and these doubts must not appear out of thin air, someone must have instilled them in Zhengde.
Liu Jin knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic, and when he got up to explain, he found that Zhengde's figure was already far away on the opposite side of the lawn, Liu Jin got up and gritted his teeth and hurriedly chased after him.
