Perch.

Zhu Jin was called by Zhang Anshi.

His status at this time is not the same as before.

Let's put it this way, now everyone has begun to call him Master Zhu.

It's not just the businessmen who saw him and saluted.

Even the military attachés of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Waterway Inspection saw him, and they were all very polite.

This change in status, if compared with the past, is really a heaven and an earth.

Zhu Jin knows very well that all this was brought by Zhang Anshi, and this feeling of slowly grasping power and gradually being respected by everyone around him is by no means something that can be exchanged for silver alone.

So he was very meticulous.

For example, the Law Academy, as well as the Arithmetic School, were all built by him desperately.

There is also the matter of the joint bank, and he sometimes has to keep an eye on it, so as not to make any mistakes.

The things inside and outside here, everyone has regarded him as Zhang Anshi's housekeeper.

And now, Zhu Jin has almost put aside the matter at hand in the past few days.

Because he has more important things to deal with.

"Master Hou." Zhu Jin came to Zhang Anshi respectfully.

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "How is it, how is my house?" ”

"Master Hou, it looks too simple, but this house is very safe, and living here is very steady." Zhu Jin smiled.

Zhang Anshi sighed: "An important minister like me has won the trust of His Majesty, my life and death are related to the safety of the country and society, and I have no choice but to do so." ”

Zhu Jin said very seriously: "Yes, yes, Master Hou, your body is expensive." ”

Zhang Anshi crossed his legs, took a sip of tea, and said with Shi Shiran: "In the past few days, how has the matter been for you to investigate?" ”

Zhu Jin said: "There are eyebrows." ”

As he spoke, he took out a book from his sleeve and said, "I wanted to come early in the morning to make a report, but the little one was not at ease, so I checked it again." ”

Zhang Anshi took the book, read it carefully, and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, you have done your best." This time, you also have the credit. ”

Zhu Jin began to wipe his eyes: "How can Hou Ye say such a thing, without Hou Ye, there will be no little today, Hou Ye, you are the little reborn parents, the little can do things for the Hou Ye, it is the ancestors who have accumulated virtue, how dare you have any credit." ”

Zhang Anshi sighed with emotion: "Niang, the tone of your voice is becoming more and more like the one in the palace." ”

Zhu Jin: "......"

Zhang Anshi said: "It's very good, let people ...... again After carefully checking and sorting out, this matter will be a matter of course. ”

Zhu Jin nodded: "Yes." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "It's okay, go down." ”

Zhu Jin nodded, and then left.

Zhang Anshi watched Zhu Jin leave, and said to the person who was waiting next to him: "Call my brother." ”

Not long after, Zhang Anshi took a few brothers and went to the torture room with great momentum.

First, someone escorted Zheng Lun over.

As soon as Zheng Lun saw Zhang Anshi, he immediately scolded: "Zhang Anshi, you ...... You have lost all your conscience, you erector! ”

Zhu Yong clasped his hands and stood next to Zhang Anshi, looking at Zheng Lun coldly at this time and said, "If you don't close the bird's beak again, I will break your bones." ”

Zheng Lun sneered indifferently: "Come on, come on, you come to beat me." ”

Zhu Yong's eyes glared at him and said, "Hey, you are so bold, you think that grandpa will not dare to beat you?" ”

Anyway, you're welcome, just rush up and punch down with both hands.

Where is this Zheng Lun's bones as hard as Zhu Yong's fists, he suddenly felt pain and let out a howl.

It was Zhang Anshi who persuaded Zhu Yong: "Second brother, forget it, why are you fighting him if you have nothing to do, he is a Qin criminal, sooner or later he will have to go to the oil pot, he is a little sympathetic, we are now interrogating people, not his mother's revenge, third, you drag the second brother out." ”

Zhu Yong's temper came up, and he scolded endlessly.

Finally dragged him away.

Zhang Anshi walked in front of Zheng Lun and sighed: "Hey, Dr. Zheng, you and I are acquaintances, I am the uncle of the emperor's grandson, you are the teacher of the emperor's grandson, let's count it, or go together, but ...... To this day...... I'm not going to talk to you anymore, let's be honest. ”

Zheng Lun's eyes stared at Zhang Anshi, at this time...... He was covered in cold.

Zhang Anshi...... You're dead! ”

…………

Edict of Prison.

For three days, the whole prison was howling constantly.

In the howls one after another.

Ji Gang listened to these creepy voices expressionlessly, and his eyes flickered.

"Governor, someone has confessed again."

At this point, a scribe took a confession.

Ji Gang took a closer look, and then said, "Verify." ”

His words were unequivocal.

The scribe saluted: "Yes." ”

Ji Gang put his hands behind his back, and suddenly turned around to ask the lieutenant beside him: "What's the matter with Deng Yan?" ”

The lieutenant said, "No...... I don't know, please go down. ”

This Deng Wu is the commander of the envoy, and he is responsible for the affairs of the Jinyi Guard.

When he came here early in the morning, he didn't see Deng Wu coming to greet him, which made Ji Gang unhappy, and until now at noon, this Deng Wu affair was still missing, which made Ji Gang accumulate enough anger.

After two sticks of incense, Deng Wu was late and saluted: "I've seen the governor." ”

Ji Gang stared at Deng Wu deadly: "Where have you been?" ”

"Humble in the stall of the edict prison......"

Ji Gang said: "Don't you know I'm coming?" ”

"Inferior...... Know...... It's just that...... You have important things to do, and you are humble...... Don't dare to bother. ”

Ji Gang laughed, this smile was extremely weird: "Really? ”

Deng Wu was frightened, and hurriedly bowed to the ground: "Du Du ......"

Ji Gang looked down at him: "At the beginning, you called me eldest brother. ”

"Big ...... Big brother ......," Deng Wu said timidly.

Ji Gang said: "In the twenty years of Hongwu, you lived in Zhuangzi next door to me, and after that, we joined the army together and served Your Majesty, at that time I became Your Majesty's personal soldier, and you are just a pawn under the account of Chengguo Gong......"

After a pause, Ji Gang continued slowly: "When you enter Nanjing City, your credit is only a hundred households, if I didn't keep promoting you, not only let you enter the Jinyi Guard's army, but also make you a thousand households, and later become the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Deng Wu, have I ever treated you badly?" ”

Deng Wu seemed to be even more frightened, and hurriedly said, "Dudu...... No, the eldest brother has never treated the inferior. ”

Ji Gang said: "But you are estranged from me." ”

"There is a difference between dignity and inferiority ...... the upper and lower guards"

Ji Gang squinted, still staring at Deng Wu tightly: "Thousand Households Chen Li...... Have fellowship with him. ”

"Relational ...... Relationships are okay...... He...... It's kind of temperament with me. ”

Ji Gang put his hands behind his back, paced a few steps, and said, "Do you know that he has been in cahoots with Zhang Anshi." “

Deng Wu bowed his head and remained silent.

Ji Gang said lightly: "From now on, Chen Li is my enemy, is he your enemy?" ”

Deng Wu said during the period: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding......

"Really?" Ji Gang stared at Deng Wu with a pleasant face, but his eyes became more and more calm: "Deng Wu, we can have today's wealth because our brothers have one heart, if our hearts are scattered, the future will ......... This brocade guard, there is no place for you and me. ”

"Yes, yes."

At this time, the scribe hurried in and said, "Dudu, there is another one who did not survive and died." ”

Ji Gang said expressionlessly: "I only want the result, no matter what else!" ”

After cutting the four words categorically, the scribe nodded: "Yes." ”

With that, he withdrew.

Ji Gang immediately looked at Deng Wudao: "Speaking of torture, these people are always not serious, in this regard, you are an expert, you can go in person." ”

Deng Wu looked stunned: "Humble and executed? ”

Ji Gang said: "What? After becoming a servant, you don't want to condescend? ”

Deng Wu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Since it is ordered by the governor, then it is humble." ”

So he got up, and hurried away, as if he had been pardoned.

Ji Gang stared at this Deng Wu's back with solemn eyes, his face became more and more irritable, and it was already empty.

He slowly took a roster from his sleeve, placed it on his desk, and then took the pen.

Ultimately...... In this roster, Deng Wu's name is circled.

Then he carefully put the roster away.

Now...... It's not the time to do anything else, the only thing to do now is to quickly find out the chaotic party, this chaotic party is not trivial, Your Majesty has been like a fish in the throat, if anyone seizes the opportunity, then all the unhappiness that caused Your Majesty before can be wiped out.

"Governor, Governor......"

At this moment, a thousand households hurriedly came in and said, "Oh no. ”

Ji Gang looked up at the thousand households and said coldly: "What? ”

"That Annan Marquis Zhang Anshi...... Shanglu, saying that the chaotic party has been found, just now, he played......"

"What?" Ji Gang's body shook, and his eyes widened suddenly, looking incredulous.

"It is said that tomorrow I will escort the rebel party into the palace for an audience, and I want to ask Your Majesty to be judged in front of hundreds of officials."

"How can it be so fast? It can't just be that Zheng Lun, right? What are they, how can they be behind the scenes? ”

"This, if you are lowly, you don't know." Qianhu said stupidly.

Ji Gang's face became even more solemn.

He said restlessly, "Tomorrow...... Tomorrow......... If it is really found by Zhang Anshi, then ...... So ......"

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and said, "We have so many people, aren't we as good as a group of teenagers?" There are so many people up and down in our brocade clothes, are they all eating dry rice? ”

Ji Gang's eyes sank, and he said coldly: "Go on...... Continue the interrogation...... Before tonight, there must be results! ”

"Whoa."

…………

Confucius temple.

In a mansion.

Someone hurried into the small hall.

The people in the small hall were still drinking tea all day long.

The man who came in gave the man a look, and the man nodded.

So the man who came in came into the man's ear and whispered something.

The man's face sank, and he said slowly, "Really? Got it......"

He didn't say anything more, as if nothing had happened, and continued to bow his head and take a sip of tea before saying, "Send a message out and tell the Lord...... It's time to step up, it's time to make a decision. ”

"Yes."

"Go ahead."

"Yes."

…………

Early the next morning.

Hundreds of officials entered the court.

In the past few days, everyone has been talking about it.

Regarding that reverse case, it provoked people inside and outside the capital, both in the government and the opposition, and everyone had no heart to care about the matter at hand.

No one knows...... How many people will be implicated in this case.

There are all kinds of news circulating in the market, which makes people even more confused.

Xie Jin is one of them.

He, Yang Rong, Hu Guang, and the three of them brought hundreds of officials into the palace to meet him.

In private, Xie Jin said to Hu Guang: "So many people have been arrested now...... Where is this anti-party? Now he says that he wants to be judged, hey...... ...... go on like this."

He shook his head worriedly and said in a low voice: "What I'm worried about is that someone wants to use the rebel party to eradicate dissidents. I want to ...... When Emperor Taizu Gao...... The empty seal case, Hu Weiyong's case, and the Lanyu case...... Isn't that what it is? I think that sooner or later, this world will become the world of relatives like Jinyiwei and Zhang Anshi, just like at the beginning. ”

The most popular complaint of such scholars comes from Xie Jin, and it is not surprising at all.

But Hu Guang listened to these words, but he didn't dare to take it, and kindly reminded: "Xie Gong, be cautious." ”

Xie Jin smiled: "These words are just to talk to you, you are an honest person." ”

After all, the two are fellow villagers and the closest colleagues, and he is willing to say these words, naturally because he regards Hu Guang as his own brother.

But now Hu Guang only felt uncomfortable, the corner of his eyes swept towards Yang Rong, sighed in his heart, couldn't help but feel a little lost, and only arched his hand towards Xie Jingong and said: "Xie Gong...... Hey......"

"Why, is there anything you can't say freely?"

Hu Guang opened his mouth, but said, "There are no words, let's go, let's enter the palace." ”

Xie Jin was like eating a closed door, a little unhappy in his heart, seeing Hu Guang cowering, he couldn't help but feel a little contemptive, the reader was frank and unrestrained, why was he so obscene, and the person Hu Guangda (Hu Guang's character) was no longer as chic as before. ”

Hu Guang had broken his steps and retreated to Yang Rong's side.

Yang Rong glanced at Hu Guang with a smile in his eyes, which was meaningful.

Hu Guang had no choice but to smile bitterly.

Xie Jin was melancholy in his heart, but he saw Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, on the side.

This Lu Zhen is as famous as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials and the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Xia Yuanji.

In his early years, Lu Zhen surrendered to Zhu Di and belonged to the first batch of ministers who defected to Zhu Di, so he was very respected by Zhu Di.

Xie Jin smiled and said to Lu Zhen: "Lu Gong...... Please. ”

Lu Zhen hurriedly said: "Duke Xie is a scholar, so he should enter the palace first." ”

Xie Jin said with concern: "I heard that Dr. Zheng Lun is your protégé?" ”

Lu Zhen said: "I can't talk about it, it's just that when he took the township exam, it happened that the old man was the main exam." ”

"I can't believe it...... He ......"

"Things have not yet come to an end, whether there is guilt or not, there is a public opinion."

Xie Jin sighed: "I hope there is a public opinion." ”

After that, hundreds of officials entered the palace.

In this hall, Zhu Di has already ascended to the throne.

Yesterday, Zhang Anshi played and asked Zhu Di to try the case, which made Zhu Di's heart a little strange.

After all, such a reverse case will not see the light of day, and if it is interrogated in front of hundreds of officials, what if something is really tried?

Let's be honest...... Zhu Di still has to be faced.

However, since Zhang Anshi was invited, he must have his reasons for coming.

In the end, Zhu Di was approved.

It's just that Zhu Di's heart is faintly uneasy.

At this time...... The hundred officials have not yet arrived.

But the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and the king of Zhao Zhu Gaosui were already sitting in His Royal Highness, and the two did not say a word.

On the ground, kneeling were Ji Gang and Deng Wu, the servant in charge of the edict.

These two people were summoned by Zhu Di in advance.

Zhang Anshi's side...... I don't know what the results were. Before the royal trial, Zhu Di wanted to ask what was going on on Jinyiwei's side.

However, the answers of Ji Gang and Deng Wu made Zhu Di a little unhappy.

...... over there. Although there are some clues, these clues are all disorganized.

Therefore, at this time, Ji Gang had no choice but to prostrate on the ground, maintaining the five-body bow to the ground, and did not move at all.

Deng Wu's heart was also very timid, His Majesty's dissatisfaction with Ji Gang was obviously written on his face.

At this time, hundreds of officials came to see each other, and they shouted long live.

Zhu Di just nodded, and then said, "Xuan Zhang An Shi has a few." ”

Yisha nodded and glanced at one of the eunuchs.

Long...... The eunuch came: "Your Majesty, Zhang Anshi and others are here." ”

Zhu Di nodded.

Immediately, I saw Zhang Anshi taking the lead, Zhu Yong and Zhang Xuan, and a few people were escorting Zheng Lun in.

Zhang Anshi is very lofty, wearing a new vermilion unicorn robe.

Zheng Lun in the back...... But he was depressed, like a mourner.

When Zhu Di saw Zheng Lun, he became angry, this is the doctor of Zhan Shifu...... It was Zhu Di who personally selected and asked him to tutor the emperor's grandson, if there is anything wrong with the emperor's grandson, it will be a lifelong regret.

Zhang Anshi led Zhu Yong to salute a few times and said, "The minister has seen Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Di said: "I heard that the chaotic party has a clue? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "I have a clue, so the minister asked His Majesty to try it in person." ”

Zhu Di's eyes fell on Zheng Lun's body, and he said sharply: "Zheng Lun, you old dog!" ”

Zhu Di was furious, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Zheng Lun immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Wronged, wronged...... Your Majesty...... The minister has been wronged......"

The two people behind also shouted: "The minister is wronged...... The minister has great grievances. ”

Zhu Di smiled even colder: "Do you really think that Zhang Anshi will wronged you?" At the beginning, the damn Chen Wenjun was also like you shouting injustice, you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, you want to cut with a thousand knives, and I naturally fulfilled your wish! ”

Zheng Lun's face was pale, he knelt on the ground suddenly, and said with tears in his eyes: "Minister...... Minister......"

Zhu Di immediately looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "Zhang Anshi, you can talk about it." I want to take a good look at this Zheng Lun, how to quibble. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Yes, the minister said." ”

Zhu Di: "......"

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this Zheng Lun...... It's a wronged ......"

As soon as this statement came out.

The whole hall was in an uproar.

Everybody, you look at me, I look at you.

Zhu Di was also dumbfounded.

Isn't that a joke?

You asked me to come to the royal trial, just for this?

Zheng Lun raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief, and the other two ministers who had been wronged couldn't help but shake their heads.

Zhu Di scolded angrily: "Zhang Anshi, you ......"

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty is angry, in fact, ...... This is a play, according to all the signs...... In the end, one result was reached, and that was ...... The party behind Chen Wenjun must be in the court, and he must be an important minister. ”

After a pause, Zhang Anshi said, "It's just ...... Such a person...... The scheming is very deep, and it is very well hidden, the minister is thinking, it is not easy to find this person, and since he caught Chen Wenjun, he has been startled, and it is even more impossible for this person to show his feet. ”

When Zhang Anshi said this, he said, "It's just ...... This chaotic party is rampant, the minister knows that if he is not found out one day, I will never have peace, in order to catch the chaotic party, so the minister has to take risks......"

Zhu Di suddenly realized something, and at this time, he also had to admire, Zhang Anshi, this guy...... It's really going to do everything, this Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and there is only this guy...... Can do such a thing.

can think about it carefully, what Zhang Anshi said is not wrong...... If other methods worked, that person would have been exposed a long time ago, and now it is just an extraordinary time, doing extraordinary things.

Zhu Di nodded: "Then why do you want to take Zheng Lun?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, the minister is called knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, these chaotic parties, now the family has taken Chen Wenjun, and the minister suddenly began to take Zheng Lun and a few people, in fact, he released a signal to tell them that Chen Wenjun did not explain them, and now they are biting indiscriminately, so that they can learn that they are holding irrelevant people, etc., and they can rest assured, only by reassuring them can they be taught to let down their guard, and they can show their feet." ”

"So ......," Zhang Anshi said: "This is thanks to Zheng Lun, Zhou Jin and Liu Yan, they have suffered a little, but ...... The minister was in Qixia, and he didn't let them suffer any flesh and skin, and the reason why the minister chose them was also because...... They are loyal to His Majesty, especially Zheng Lun, Zheng Lun often said to the emperor and grandson that he has read the Four Books and Five Classics, and he is the most reasonable, especially to His Majesty, extremely loyal, and is willing to go to the soup for His Majesty, and the minister is thinking, since he is willing to go to the soup and fire for His Majesty, then it should be nothing if he suffers a little grievance for His Majesty temporarily. ”

Zheng Lun had a false alarm, he was stunned for a long time, he still disliked Zhang Anshi, what kind of thing are you, Zhang Anshi, and dare to make fun of the old man?

But for now...... Zhang Anshi was right, he was busy and energetic, and said, "Your Majesty...... The ministers are loyal to His Majesty, and they can be seen every day. ”

Zhu Di sighed softly, it's okay...... Finally, it's not the people around the emperor and grandson who have a problem.

Zhang Anshi smiled again: "In this process, the second person to thank is Ji Gang, the commander of Jinyiwei. ”

Ji Gang: "......"

Zhu Di glanced at Ji Gang: "Why is this?" ”

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "If it weren't for Commander Ji, this scene would be really difficult." His Majesty knows the minister, although the minister took Zheng Lun and others, but the minister has a good heart, and the disaster will not affect his family, but if he only takes Zheng Lun, those who oppose the party will see it, I am afraid that they will also feel a little strange. ”

"Fortunately, the commander of Youji took Zheng Lun and their family in time, and it also made the minister's conscience feel better, Your Majesty...... The...... If he takes the chaotic party, not only Zheng Lun has worked hard, but he is also the commander of this discipline, and the credit is not small. ”

Ji Gang: "......"

Zheng Lun smiled a few times...... Stiffened suddenly.

Without waiting for Zhang Anshi to continue speaking.

Zheng Lun suddenly looked at Ji Gang and said, "Commander Ji...... The old man's family ...... Where? ”

Ji Gang was in front of everyone, and he was already drenched in cold sweat at this time.

is just a Zheng Lun, of course he didn't pay attention to it.

But......

Now the monarchs and ministers in the palace are all looking at Ji Gang.

Zhang Anshi's face also changed: "Commander Ji...... You ......"

Ji Gang lowered his head, his heart was upset.

He has always been silent and indifferent, but now he ...... But there is a feeling of being on your back. “

That Deng Wu, lying on the ground, was even more pale as paper, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out.

Zheng Lun seemed to understand something all of a sudden.

Zheng Lun bared his teeth and cracked eyes.

He couldn't care less about this being the palace of the Son of Heaven, so he stood up all of a sudden, pounced on it, and stared at him with round eyes: "I...... My family ......"

Ji Gang took a breath of cool air, except for Your Majesty, no one in this world can be rude to himself like this.

He said in a panic: "Most people ...... Still alive......"

Listen to this...... Zheng Lun's face was miserable, and he said like crazy: "I...... Is my son still alive? ”

Ji Gang didn't answer.

Zheng Lun said miserably: "I...... My wife and daughter ......"

Ji Gang didn't answer either.

Zheng Lun said: "She...... They...... Before dying......"

Holding back his tears, Zheng Lun glared at Ji Gang: "What kind of humiliation have you suffered?" ”

Ji Gang still couldn't answer.

Zhang Anshi didn't make a sound, just looked at all this coldly.

Zheng Lun was indeed wronged, but ...... The reason why Zheng Lun was chosen...... is because Zheng Lun is a hypocrite, in front of the emperor and grandson, he claims the so-called righteousness, but in fact, he ...... His sons relied on their father to be the noble minister of the Zhan Mansion, and did evil in the capital, not long ago, there was a merchant's wife, who was looked down upon by the son of Zheng Lun, and this Zheng Lun's son called friends and friends, and actually killed the merchant's wife.

Right now...... It can be regarded as a report for a report.

But the mood between people is very different at this time.

Zheng Lun's pupils contracted, and he stumbled in the hall, as if he had been sucked dry.

The other two, one fainted, and the other said angrily: "Ji Gang, I don't share the sky with you, today...... With you and without me......"

Immediately, Zheng Lun let out a heart-rending cry.

Ji Gang only knelt coldly, and the direction he knelt in was still Zhu Di.

At this time, Ji Gang only felt like a clown.

That Deng Wu was already so frightened that he kowtowed like garlic.

Seeing this, Zhu Di was already displeased in his heart, looked at Ji Gang viciously, and said, "What does Jinyiwei do on weekdays?" Is this how you catch the rebels? ”

Zhu Di's reproachful voice immediately sounded.

If it is said that Zheng Lun's scolding is not painful for Ji Gang.

But His Majesty's reproach had already made him sweat profusely on his forehead, and he kowtowed to Zhu Di and said, "Minister...... The sin of death. ”

In just a few days, he had to plead guilty again.

Baiguan looked at Ji Gang, only to feel cold all over his body.

Deng Wu said at this time: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... Humble...... Humility is simply doing what is told. ”

Zheng Lun had already sat down, he was already confused, and his mouth was repeated: "Your Majesty wants to be the master of the ministers, and you must be the masters of the ministers." ”
