There was a rooster crow outside, and Zhang Yi realized that it was already dawn.

At this time, he was shocked in his heart, and he was going to suffer!

I didn't return all night, and the palanquin driver was still waiting outside.

Think about it, the cabinet deputy assistant and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple chatted all night, if this is spread out, nothing will become something, not to mention that there is really something.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and said, "Now that I don't have a choice, do I have no choice?" ”

"Why did Brother Zhang say this?"

"You tell me all the truth, and if I still don't join, are you going to kill someone?"

"Haha!"

Yang Dan smiled and said: "It's not that serious, it's just that Brother Zhang needs to be wronged for a few days, just study in the cold house, drink tea, and wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne, you can continue to be your cabinet assistant." ”

"You, you...... Aren't you afraid that I'll tell you afterwards? ”

"At that time, there will be a purge in the court, and all the high-ranking and powerful people will be participants, who do you go to sue?"

Zhang Yi said in a deep voice: "Aren't you afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will know the truth when he grows up and settle accounts with you?" ”

Yang Dan shook his head disapprovingly and said, "The first emperor died at the age of thirty-six, and it has been nineteen years now, who has mentioned this matter?" ”

Zhang Yi secretly sighed in his heart, what he said was right, even if he, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, didn't know it at all.

It can be seen that after every coup d'état, it is those planners and participants who come to power, who change the dynasty through the coup d'état, and take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents and occupy the entire court.

Since everyone is their own person, who will report whom?

Finally, Zhang Yi nodded slowly and said, "I agreed." ”

"Good!"

Yang Dan smiled and said, "With Brother Zhang's help, great things can be done!" ”

Zhang Yi couldn't laugh, but asked, "What do you need me to do?" ”

"Don't worry, Brother Zhang will rest here for two days first!"

"What?"

Zhang Yimeng raised his head and asked, "You don't trust me?" ”

"Brother Zhang is too worried!"

Yang Dan waved his hand and said, "We have already planned this matter, we don't need Brother Zhang to come forward for the time being, everyone just needs to know that Brother Zhang is on our side, it's enough!" ”

Zhang Yi was dissatisfied: "Speaking of which, you still don't trust me!" ”

Yang Dan simply stopped hiding it and said: "Such a big thing, naturally you have to be cautious, Brother Zhang is good to live and recuperate!" ”

After saying that, he saluted with his fists and walked out the door.

Zhang Yi chased out, but was stopped by the two strong men outside the door.

"Oh, yes!"

Yang Dan came back to his senses and said to Zhang Yi: "Brother Zhang doesn't have to worry about his family, I will send someone to deliver the letter, just say that Brother Zhang has urgent business and has left Beijing." ”

Zhang Yi heard the threat in these words, and said angrily: "I have promised you, you can't touch my family!" ”

"Brother Zhang, don't worry, during this time, I will definitely ensure that your family is worry-free!"

After finishing speaking, he clenched his fists and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

Zhang Yi suddenly shouted, Yang Dan turned around and asked, "Brother Zhang, what's the matter?" ”

"What happened to the palanquin bearers who traveled with me?"

"Brother Zhang, don't worry, they are my people, so they naturally know what to say when they go back."

Zhang Yimeng was stunned, his heart fluttering.

Even his own sedan chair man was arranged by others, it's too insidious!

After Yang Dan left, the door of the guest room was closed from the outside and locked.

Zhang Yi looked around, the windows were all closed, and they were nailed with wooden sticks, and it was too dark last night to find out.

There was a bed, a table, chairs, benches, and a bookcase with several books.

It can be seen that this is the cell specially prepared by Yang Dan for himself.

He was in a state of confusion, and there was only one thought in his mind, how could he tell the emperor the news?

At this moment, the door suddenly opened.

I saw an old man with gray hair, holding a wooden tray with a bowl of yellow rice porridge, two steamed cakes, and two side dishes.

The old man walked slowly, put down the food, turned around and left, and did not say a word the whole time.

Zhang Yi stayed awake all night, his stomach was already hungry, and when he saw the food, he simply ate first and then said.

After eating, sleepiness hit, and by this time he had let himself go, came to the bed, and fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept this night, but when I woke up, I saw that the food had been re-placed on the table, and there was fish and meat, and it was still very rich.

Zhang Yi swept the food out of the wind and wiped out the food, and after a while, the door opened.

It's still the old man, who came in and cleaned up the dishes quickly, still without saying a word.

Zhang Yi said politely: "There is labor!" ”

However, the old man still ignored it, cleaned up the bowl on the table, wiped it with a rag, and turned away with the tray.

Zhang Yi couldn't help frowning, this old man is very rude!

I greet you, you ignore me, who do you look down on?

In the evening, the old man came to deliver food again, and Zhang Yi was displeased, so he pretended to inadvertently knock over a bowl of yellow rice porridge to the ground.

To his surprise, the porridge bowl shattered, but the old man did not move.

It stands to reason that when a person hears a sudden abnormal noise, his body will react involuntarily, such as being clever and shouting "Oh Mom", but the old man did not react at all.

Aren't you deaf......

Zhang Yi walked behind the old man and suddenly slapped his hand in his ear.

There was a crunch on the ground, but there was no response.

At this time, the old man just turned around and looked at Zhang Yi, he didn't know what to say, and his fingers were also gesturing.

Zhang Yi understood, it turned out that this old man was really deaf, and he was still mute.

This is not surprising, Yang Dan did a rebellious thing, so naturally he couldn't trust himself, so he specially sent a deaf and dumb old servant to deliver food.

"I'm sorry!"

Zhang Yi hugged his fists embarrassedly, and then leaned over to pick up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

Mengdi, he was shocked!

Just as he was bending down, suddenly, the old man flipped his palm at him......

By the time he came to his senses, the old man had picked up the broken pieces of porcelain on the ground and left.

The guard outside the door looked at Zhang Yi in the room, and then closed the door.

Zhang Yi was surprised at this time, grabbed a steamed cake in his hand, and broke it hard, and a note appeared inside.

The old man wrote a word in the palm of his hand-

Cake!

Zhang Yi didn't know what was going on at all, wasn't this old man a servant in Yang Dan's family, why did the god secretly deliver the news to him?

Unfold the note with two small letters on it:

Soy sauce!

Zhang Yi looked at the table, and sure enough, there was a small dish of soy sauce.

This thing is a luxury, and only the palace or the rich and noble can afford to eat it.

Moreover, this thing can replace ink!

Yang Dan only left a few books in the house, but there was no pen and ink, just to prevent him from passing on any information to the outside world.

Zhang Yi thought hard, what did this deaf and dumb old servant do his best to convey information to himself?

Isn't Yang Dan testing himself?
