Under Zhengde's nose, in the eyes of the ministers, these two high-ranking and powerful people in the Ming Dynasty were like two men in the market fighting, and they set an endless life and death situation, and in addition to being shocked, Zhengde and the ministers also understood something: it turned out that the relationship between these two people had reached the point of life and death, remembering that a few years ago, these two people were regarded by everyone as colluding with each other, but no one expected the current situation.

Zhengde was depressed, he ordered a long time ago to prohibit the fight between Song Nan and Liu Jin, for a period of time the two were safe, Zhengde thought that they were just a simple competition for favor, some friction is normal, today's situation makes Zhengde completely understand.

Standing on the position of Zhengde, these two people are people they trust, one can make their ordinary life colorful and happy, satisfy their many desires that dare not be humane, and the other can let themselves enjoy this qiē in peace and stability, always stand up to shelter from the wind and rain when the wind and rain hit, and I really can't tell who is more important. But today, I am afraid that I will lose one of these two people, even if I am the emperor, it will be difficult to stop.

"In that case, I will go and see for myself, and you may also go with you to witness and prepare for the drive." Zhengde sighed and commanded.

Soon after, the car was prepared in front of the Fengtian Palace, the civil officials sat in a big car, the generals rode horses, and surrounded Zhengde's gorgeous car to drive outside the palace gate, Liu Jin sat in a big car next to Zhengde, his face was gloomy like the bottom of a pot. His heart was a little strangely flustered, he didn't collude with King Anhua at all, let alone talk about any evidence left, it stands to reason that he should calmly put his heart in his stomach, but looking at Song Nan's confident look, Liu Jin's heart couldn't help but drum.

Liu Jin thought about it again and again, and felt uneasy, in case Song Nan really played some tricks and put some evidence in the Xishan Courtyard to frame himself, wouldn't it be his way? Although it is unlikely that the Xishan Courtyard will be mixed up by Song Nan's people, there are always accidents in everything, so it is better to be careful.

So Liu Jin ordered to stop, and invited Gao Feng to the side of the car and whispered: "Our family is worried about what Song Nan has done in advance, you immediately go to Dongchang to pass on my order, and order the fans to ride fast horses to search in the courtyard, in addition to passing the word to the housekeeper, ordering him to quickly transfer all the silver box office property deeds in the secret room, so as not to expose these things to everyone in front of everyone, so that Song Nan has other excuses to my disadvantage." ”

Gao Feng agreed, and hurriedly turned around and hurried to the Dongchang Yamen in Hebei, the moat east of the palace, and felt that something was not quite right when he arrived at the Yamen.

"What do you do? Don't stand in the way of our family, our family is going to the Yamen of the East Factory to do business. Gao Feng shouted.

"Father-in-law Gao, you can go anywhere, but don't want to go in the Dongchang Yamen, this place has been sealed by our Jinyi Wei Dahan General Camp."

"Seizure? Are you crazy, this is the Dongchang Yamen, bastards are very bad, do you want to rebel? ”

"Father-in-law Gao, I'm just waiting for the order, don't embarrass our brother, the order of the ten thousand commanders of my family, if you have any questions, you go and ask the ten thousand generals of my family."

Gao Feng's heart was cold, it was obvious that this was planned earlier, he knew that it was useless to say more, so he hurriedly turned the horse's head and rushed back to report to Liu Jin, Liu Jin was speechless for a long time with his mouth open, he was going to let Gao Feng go to the office of the fans in the city to find other people, but suddenly found that he could no longer leave the team, because the hundreds of Han generals who accompanied him had already surrounded all the cars and horses of the accompanying officials, this was the standard accompanying formation of the Han generals, and no one was allowed to leave the convoy at will; Wan Zhi led more than ten riders to sway back and forth in his car, obviously he didn't have the opportunity to report the matter to Zhengde.

Liu Jin's heart was even more confused, it was obvious that things were not as simple as he imagined, maybe he really fell into Song Nan's calculations. At this point, Liu Jin could only force himself to remain calm and tell himself that things might not be so bad.

More than two hours of travel, noon has passed, Zhengde car finally arrived at the foot of the town at the foot of Xiangshan, under the strict protection of the Jinyi Wei Han general, Zhengde and the ministers rested for a while, ate some food and tea.

Zhengde asked Song Nan how there was a Jinyi guard captain stationed here, Song Nan said: "Last night, the minister ordered someone to mobilize a thousand soldiers and horses to guard the mountain pass, prohibiting idle people from entering and leaving, beware of news leakage, because I am afraid that someone will destroy the evidence in advance." ”

Zhengde said: "You have put a lot of effort into it. ”

Song Nan said lightly: "The minister is thinking about the emperor. ”

Zhengde sighed lightly, stopped talking, rested for a while after eating, everyone began to climb the mountain, an hour later, they arrived in the valley in front of the Xiangshan Courtyard, looking at the Xiangshan Courtyard built on the top of the mountain, Zhengde thoughtful.

"Liu Jin, I just want to ask you, do you really have anything to do with that thief? If so, now is your chance to confess your sins, and I may remember how little you have been faithful to me for so many years. ”

Liu Jin knelt down on the side of the road, kowtowed and shouted: "Your Majesty, how can slaves and maids have anything to do with traitors?" The slave did see the old thief once here, and that time she was also deceived by the old thief's rhetoric, and the rest were not half adhered to. ”

Zhengde nodded and said to Song Nan: "Song Nan, I also asked you once, I know that you are dissatisfied with Liu Jin, Liu Jin did fight for the anti-thief Zhu Ningyan to fight for the number of soldiers in the palace, but this matter has already been clarified, it was Zhu Ningyao's responsibility, and I also punished Liu Jin; If you use this as a basis to conclude that Liu Jin colluded with him, I am afraid it is unreasonable. If you can't find any conclusive evidence today, you should know the consequences, I don't want you to end up because of your will, I make an exception to make a peace, if you are not sure, how about we turn around and go down the mountain? ”

The ministers next to him smacked their tongues, the emperor really had nothing to say to Song Nan and Liu Jin, I am afraid that this kind of treatment can only be enjoyed by these two people, and it is really unbelievable that there is still room for maneuver in such a situation.

Song Nan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers don't understand the emperor's care, but there is always a truth to the truth, I don't want to bear the name of climbing, Liu Jin is afraid and I don't want to be suspected of colluding with the old thief to rebel, I always have to make it clear." This is a major event related to the emperor's safety, imagine that there are unscrupulous people lurking around the emperor, so how can the subjects of the world sleep in peace? Even if the minister miscalculates today, it can at least prove Liu Jin's innocence, and can make the subjects of the world relieved of their worries, even if the minister is dead, it is worth it. ”

Zhengde sighed: "You really make me feel cold. ”

In order to ensure justice, at Liu Jin's request, the search of people and horses must not be Jinyiwei's manpower, two hundred chauffeur knife hands came in handy, two hundred people were divided into ten teams, each team of twenty people, under the leadership of ten officers with knives into the Xiangshan Courtyard search.

The Jinyi Wei Han general camp surrounded the Xiangshan Courtyard to prevent anyone from escaping, but he was not allowed to enter the Courtyard for a single step.

The forkmen drove everyone out of the courtyard and searched their bodies to make sure that no one was hiding them, and then they carried out a carpet search throughout the courtyard.

Zhengde led dozens of ministers to stand in the open space at the entrance of the courtyard, quietly waiting for the results of the search.

The sky gradually darkened, although it was only Shen Shi, the sky was getting darker and darker, the mountain wind was becoming more and more violent, a blazing bonfire was lit in the clearing, Zhengde was wrapped in a big sword and stood there with the support of Zhang Yong and other attendants, all the people were waiting for the results of the search. Half an hour later, a group of fork and knife men came out of the house to report.

"Your Majesty, no evidence of suspicious collaboration has been found in the front yard."

"Your Majesty, the search of the 13 houses has been completed, and no evidence of collaboration has been found."

"Your Majesty, the search of the house has been completed, but nothing has been found."

"Your Majesty, all the houses in the back hall have been searched, and nothing has been found, and a number of silver ticket title deeds have been found in the secret room."

"The Emperor's ......"

Ten teams of fork and knife hands reported one after another, and did not hear a reply that no evidence was found, the expression on Liu Jin's face relaxed a little, and when he heard that the last team of people returned without finding anything, Liu Jin breathed a long sigh of relief, and his eyes swept to Song Nan, Song Nan's face couldn't see what color it was in the dark, but Liu Jin could think of Song Nan's mood at the moment with his ass.

The ministers talked in low voices, some sighed silently, some were elated, Song Nan was finished today.

"Song Nan, the ten teams of fork and knife hands have searched all over the place, and there is no evidence at all, because it is impossible for me Liu Jin to collude with Zhu Ningjiao, you insist on framing our family, now you have nothing to say, Your Majesty, please call the shots for the slaves."

Song Nan also wondered in his heart, could it be that Wang Yong's errand last night was not successful? Impossible, if there is a difference, how could Wang Yong not inform him in advance when he saw him at the foot of the mountain?

"Song Nan, you are too stubborn, hey, how is this good." The old man Zhang Mao gritted his teeth.

Song Nan froze and said, "Your Majesty, the minister requests to search again." ”

Someone behind Zhengde ridiculed: "The fork knife hand is the most reliable, even if you search it ten times, what can you do?" Can't Lord Song afford to lose? ”

Song Nan was speechless, Zhengde was conflicted, and finally ordered: "Let's search again." ”

The fork and knife men relined and wanted to re-enter the courtyard to search, but suddenly saw someone running quickly at the gate of the courtyard, and everyone looked stunned, only to see a fork and knife hand panting out of breath from the gate of the Xiangshan Courtyard, and an officer with a knife shouted: "Wang Xiaoyi, where have you been?" How did it come out? ”

The fork knife hand who came over was holding a wooden box in his arms, and gasped: "Villain...... The villain got lost, and there were many twists and turns in this courtyard, and he couldn't find his brothers in a blink of an eye, and it took him a long time to find his way out. ”

The officer with the knife scolded: "You are really stupid, you look good when you look back, the emperor and all the adults are looking at it, huh?" What are you holding in your hands? ”

Wang Xiaoyi: "The villain found a wooden box on the bed of a big house in the inner room, wrapped tightly, thinking that there must be something important inside, and he was in a hurry to come out, but he didn't have time to open it." ”

The knife officer reached out and grabbed it, waved the handle of the knife a few times, the box was opened, and in the dim skylight, the things in the box were bright, and the knife officer reached out and shook it, and exclaimed: "Dragon robe!" ”
