Fifth, sixth, seventh, knock it to the ground
There were not only dragon robes in the box, but also jade seals, jade belts and other royal forbidden things, and when these things were placed in front of Zhengde and the officials, everyone was stunned.
Not only them, but even Liu Jin himself was stunned.
"Your Majesty...... Emperor. Liu Jin's face was pale, and he muttered unconsciously in his mouth.
Liu Jin ...... What a Liu Jin...... You're so daring. Zhengde's body trembled and shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty's ......" Liu Jin fell to his knees, crawled to Zhengde on his knees, and shouted: "Your Majesty...... The slave and maid are wronged, these things are not in the slave and maid's house at all, someone must have planted them. Yes, someone must have framed the slave maid, it must be him, it must be Song Nan, he wants to frame the slave maid, these are all ...... he put in the slave maid's house in advance"
"Liu Jin, are you interesting? At this time, you still bite back on others, and you really don't repent. Zhang Lun shouted coldly.
"You are all in a group, the emperor, they all united to frame the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid are loyal to the emperor, and the emperor is clear." Liu Jin crawled towards Zhengde and cried loudly.
Song Nan made a look, Wan Zhi stopped in front of Zhengde and kicked Liu Jin on the forehead and shouted: "Those who intend to rebel are not allowed to get close to the emperor, come and take down this person." ”
Several Jinyi Wei Han generals stepped forward, went to Liu Jin's crown, grabbed his hair and pulled his neck back, and the other two clamped their arms and backs with their hands and feet. Zhengde felt a little unbearable in his heart, he always felt that something was not quite right about this matter, but he couldn't say that something was wrong there, and suddenly heard a general of the Jinyi Guard shouting: "Liu Jin has a blade on his body." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was startled, and Song Nan shouted: "What is it? Present. ”
"Lord Song, please see, this folding fan is strange." The Jinyi Wei Han General took out a folding fan from behind Liu Jin and held it with both hands; Song Nan stretched out his hand to take it, and opened the folding fan with a brush, and the ink on the fan was written with the words 'self-cultivation and serving the country', which was no different from an ordinary fan. Song Nan stretched out his hand and tore the fan with a hula, but seeing the cold light dazzling, there were two stainless steel blades in the fan bones, Song Nan reached out and took a thick branch from the ground and cut it hard, and with a click, the thick branch with the thickness of the forearm was broken into two.
"A good thief, he carries a sharp blade with him, and his intentions are so sinister." Song Nan scolded.
Liu Jin shouted angrily: "This is not mine, this fan is not mine." ”
Zhengde completely lost sympathy for Liu Jin, he knew the fan, Liu Jin was waiting on the side on weekdays, holding this folding fan in his hand, the words on the fan and the style of the fan were familiar to him, and it was clear that General Jinyi Wei Dahan searched out of him, this guy still denied it in person, it was unreasonable.
"Your Majesty, Liu Jin really harbors evil intentions, he waits by the side with this folding fan on weekdays, thinking about it makes people afraid, fortunately, the emperor is blessed." Zhang Yong supported Zhengde's trembling body and whispered.
"Your Majesty, how to deal with Liu Jin, please send it to the emperor." Song Nan asked loudly.
Liu Jin ...... You have failed me, come here, take him to the prison of the Criminal Department, and order the three law divisions to be tried tomorrow. ”
"Your Majesty, you are wronged, and the slaves and maids are wronged."
Liu Jin struggled and shouted, Wan Zhi stepped forward and waved his two mouths up, and shouted angrily: "Don't make noise." ”
"I'm tired of driving back to Beijing." Zhengde waved his hand and turned around with tiredness in his voice.
Song Nan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, if you need to search all Liu Jin's nests immediately, so as not to cause chaos; Moreover, Liu Jin's henchmen are numerous, and the ministers will implement martial law in the capital from now on, and the Beijing camp needs to take over the security of the whole city and block all the streets of the five cities to prevent Liu Jin from making trouble or escaping with the party, which cannot be delayed. ”
Zhengde paused for a moment and said, "Yang Tinghe, you are the presiding judge of Liu Jin and find out the case; Zhang Lun led the regiment to take over the defense of the capital under martial law, Song Nan, I ordered you to immediately search all the mansions inside and outside Liu Jinjing, and arrest the relevant people. Tomorrow morning, the progress of the case will be reported upwards. ”
"Your Ministers obey!" The three of them agreed in unison.
At the same time, Song Nan ordered the Fusi of the north and south towns and the thousands of households in the Jinyi Wei to go out to carry out a raid on Liu Jin's more than a dozen foreign houses in the capital.
This night the whole city was full of soldiers and horses, and the hustle and bustle was all night, and many people stayed up all night on this night; Most of the officials in the DPRK and China were still in amazement and did not come back to their senses, Liu Jin was like a big mountain pressing on everyone's heads, these people never expected that this mountain would collapse in an instant, and it was difficult to accept this reality for a while, they couldn't sleep because of excitement.
Jiao Fang, Gu Zuo, Xu Guangzuo and other officials who had a close relationship with Liu Jin couldn't sleep because they were anxious and afraid, and they saw the dragon robe and jade seal and other things found in Liu Jin's house on Xiangshan, and Liu Jin also found a folding fan with a sharp blade, which shocked them. Many people looked back and realized that something was wrong, but they didn't have the opportunity to confirm and discuss with each other, because they found that the surrounding area of the mansion had already been watched by the brocade guards, and there was no chance to gather together again to discuss the details of the matter.
The third watch has passed, Zhengde in the Qianqing Palace has not yet fallen asleep, he is still standing alone in the backyard looking at the stars in the sky, after being angry, he also calmed down, he still feels that something is wrong with this matter, but he can't figure out what is wrong for a while.
Although it was nearly March, the night was still very cold, a gust of night wind blew, Zhengde shivered, Zhang Yong hurriedly stepped forward to put the brocade Qiu in his hand on Zhengde and said softly: "Your Majesty, rest." Take care of the dragon body, don't be angry about Liu Jin's business. ”
Zhengde sighed lightly and said slowly: "What's going on outside?" ”
"Your Majesty, Zhang Lun led the regimental camp to be under martial law in the whole city, the cabinet was discussing countermeasures overnight, and the Jinyi Wei Yamen had begun to search Liu Jin's outer house, the emperor was assured, several adults presided over the situation, and there would be no chaos in the capital."
Zhengde nodded and asked, "Zhang Yong, in your opinion, is it possible that Liu Jin was framed by others?" You are also old acquaintances for more than ten years, do you believe that Liu Jin will have bad intentions towards me? ”
Zhang Yong's heart was stunned, and the skin behind his spine began to tighten, and the emperor was obviously suspicious of this matter, which was not a good sign.
"The slave and maid dare not speak falsely, but the emperor wants to ask, and the slave and maid dare not reply; It stands to reason that Liu Jin will not be so bold, but people will change, knowing people and faces but not hearts, Liu Jin a few years ago and Liu Jin now are two people. I don't dare to say anything about the outside, but I have heard about the affairs of the inner court, Liu Jin is feared by everyone in the inner court, and there are hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs killed with canes in his hands, although they are all for a reason, but the slave maid thinks that he is more vicious after all. ”
Zhengde said softly: "Could it be that I have really lost my eyes? I always felt that something was wrong, was I being fooled? ”
Zhang Yong was frightened and didn't dare to answer, Zhengde sighed and turned around and said: "Go back and rest, let's talk about it tomorrow, the weather is very cold at night, Liu Jin is old, isn't he going to freeze to death in the prison, on the top of the beacon tower in Xinpingbao back then, it was also very cold at night, Liu Jin took off his clothes to keep me cold, and he fell into the problem of cold coughing, you can send a few clothes to the prison in a while." ”
Zhang Yong said in a low voice: "The slave obeys. ”
After Zhengde fell asleep, Zhang Yong immediately changed his clothes and went out of the palace to preside over tonight's search operation after the case in the lobby, seeing Zhang Yong coming in a hurry, Song Nan was a little surprised, at this time Zhang Yong should not come out to see himself, so as not to be suspected.
However, when Zhang Yong told Song Nan what Zhengde had just said, Song Nan immediately became nervous.
"The emperor is very smart, he is suspicious; And the emperor really trusts Liu Jin to the core, which is soft-hearted, which is not a good sign. ”
"Yes, Liu Jin's status in the emperor's mind is much more important than you and I imagined, overnight, the emperor is very likely to be soft-hearted and repentant, this matter is not without precedent, when Zhu Ningxiao rebelled, the emperor was angry with Liu Jin for Zhu Ningxiao to increase the number of soldiers in the palace, and threatened to punish Liu Jin, but the next day he changed the hexagram, and Liu Jin forgave him after crying, will it come again this time?"
Song Nan sneered: "Tomorrow the emperor will definitely order you to visit Liu Jin, you must not let Liu Jin see the emperor, I will add a fire here, it is impossible for the emperor to go around Liu Jin's house, this time I am not the only one who wants his life, look, tomorrow morning, there will be many people who seconded the impeachment of Liu Jin, some people are unwilling to be the first bird, but there is absolutely no mercy in beating the water dogs." ”
Zhang Yong said with a smile: "With Lord Song's strategy, our family can rest assured, our family has to go, let the emperor know that I came to you privately, that's not good." ”
Song Nan smiled and said, "Do you want to go to the prison to send Liu Jin a few clothes?" Isn't the emperor afraid that he will catch a cold? ”
Zhang Yong said with a smile: "Our family doesn't have that idle time, if he freezes to death in prison, it will be his creation." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and after a moment Zhang Yong said goodbye. Song Nan turned around and asked Wang Yong, "Where is the search?" ”
Wang Yong said: "The old house of Liu Jin in Nanxunfang. ”
Song Nan nodded and said, "I'll go and search in person." ”
