Morning.

Five products supervise the imperial history, Zuo Songqing.

I was just about to go out to the court.

Suddenly, I received a letter from my servant.

When he opened it, his face immediately changed.

Afterwards.

He returned to the study in a panic, and then sat down in his chair, his eyes blank and his forehead still breaking out in a cold sweat.

This letter is from Gao Jie.

"I ......"

Zuo Songqing's face was full of embarrassment.

In the letter, Gao Jie asked him to stand up and impeach Zhang Rui at the court meeting, and forced Gao Jie's only son Gao Bin to kneel down and admit his mistake, which caused Gao Jiajun to be extremely resentful.

Now tens of thousands of Gao Jiajun are asking for severe punishment of Zhang Rui, otherwise, they will not accept it.

A local warlord with a heavy army, who kills people without blinking, is known as a butcher.

He can't afford to offend.

One is the first noble of the Ming Dynasty and the son of the British duke.

He is also the favorite of today's king.

Four-rank Dragoon General.

At this moment, his head is big, and he can't afford to provoke any of the two bigwigs in the dynasty, what should he do?

One head and two big.

(It's so hard)

After a while, the housekeeper came to the study.

"Master, it's not early, if you don't leave, you may be late."

"Alright."

"Let's go."

After a painful choice, Zuo Songqing was still forced by Gao Jie's ferocity and chose to impeach Zhang Rui.

He feared that if he didn't listen to Gao Jie, his family would be killed.

Again.

Nor can this one be fake.

In other words, he's also businesslike.

.......

In the case of Zuo Songqing, there are more than a dozen people, all of whom have received letters from Gao Jie, although there is no threat in the open, but most of these people choose to submit.

Not only that, but a special person also entered [Shuntian City] overnight, and this person is Huang Lingchu, the magistrate of Dayu County.

He went to Beijing to file a complaint.

Another pilgrimage.

Today's atmosphere is somewhat depressing, dull, and solemn.

The faces of the ministers of civil and military affairs were full of anxiety.

After experiencing the earthquake of Chen Yan and Zhang Denian yesterday, they are more and more in awe of today's Chongzhen.

After yesterday's court meeting, they knew that Chen Yan, Zhang Denian, and the criminal officials of the party had all been ordered to raid their homes.

Some people also knew that Zhang Rui and Gao Bin had a conflict, and Gao Bin was beaten up. Also, Yang Su, the boss of the Changfeng Gang, was coerced by Gao Jie to kneel, and finally settled the grievance with 500,000 taels of silver.

The Changfeng Gang also killed a lot of people.

It was such a shame last night.

Xiao Guizi received gifts and folds from Zhang Rui, and he is also embarrassed now, he has also heard about the contradiction between Zhang Rui and Gao Bin yesterday, and now, he is not sure whether to help Zhang Rui.

After all, Gao Jie is now extremely prosperous, with an army of more than 100,000 and stationed in the Great Yu River. Such a military boss, even if he is Chongzhen, is quite jealous.

If he speaks for Zhang Rui, then he will inevitably befriend Gao Jie.

What if in the future, this murderous warlord comes to him for liquidation?

It's a difficult choice.

No way.

For such a big matter, I have to discuss it with my father-in-law.

He will send the messengers away.

Afterwards.

Came to Wang Chengen's residence.

At this time, it has not yet reached the time of the early dynasty, and Wang Chengen has not yet served in front of the emperor.

Came in in a hurry all the way.

"Father-in-law, something is wrong, you have to help your son."

When he came in, he fell on his knees.

Salute.

Wang Chengen is eating, a bowl of white porridge, a bowl of pickles, and two steamed buns, very frugal.

"Get up, what's going on again?"

"So panicked."

Xiao Guizi, who was kneeling on the ground, was still kneeling, motionless.

"Father-in-law, just now the small country sent a piece of music, let me say a few good words to the king for him. It's just that the person he provoked was none other than Gao Zongbing, who is now in the limelight, and I really can't be sure. ”

"Please also ask my father-in-law for guidance."

He was particularly religious.

"Zhang Rui!"

"Hehe......"

"Tell me first, what kind of trouble has this bastard boy caused again?"

"Who did he provoke this time?"

Wang Chengen took a bite of the steamed bun lightly and asked unhurriedly.

This is quite playful, which shows that this father-in-law has a deep impression of Zhang Rui.

"Father-in-law."

"My son has inquired."

"This ......"

"I heard that he disobeyed the order and robbed a woman that Gao Jie gave to Zhang Denian. Later, Gao Bin begged for the order, Zhang Rui beat Gao Bin, and the people were also robbed. ”

"I also heard that later, Gao Jie also led people to lift the Changfeng Gang."

"Father-in-law, you said that I, one is Gao Zongbing, and the other is Xiaoguogong, how do I choose?"

Xiao Guizi asked.

"What's going on out there?"

"According to Gao Jie's thoughts, he was wiped by Zhang Rui, and today's court meeting will definitely take action."

"Have you inquired?"

Wang Chengen asked.

He was still calm.

"Father-in-law, there is no rumor."

"There are no folds to send in."

Xiao Guizi said.

"Humph!!"

"This is just the calm before the storm, Gao Jie is the most face-saving, he can't let go of revenge, the more so, today's court meeting, I'm afraid it will be a bloody storm."

"Little Guizi, Zhang Rui, this bastard boy won't send the music in for no reason. You show it to me first. Let me see what kind of deployment or countermeasures he has? ”

Wang Chengen said.

"No!"

Xiao Guizi didn't expect Wang Chengen to attach so much importance to Zhang Rui.

He carefully handed over the fold and the silver ticket.

"What is this?"

Wang Chengen asked.

"Father-in-law, this is sent by Xiao Guogong along with the song, I don't dare to accept it."

Xiao Guizi said.

"Fifty thousand taels of silver tickets!"

"It seems that Zhang Denian's house is copied, this bastard has made a lot of money, you take half of the money, and the remaining half will be handed over to the Internal Affairs Office and entered the king's private treasury."

"We are the servants of the king, and we can't forget our roots if we have benefits."

"Got it?"

Wang Chengen preached.

"Yes, father-in-law."

Xiao Guizi said obediently.

Open the fold and browse it.

Syllable!!

Wang Chengen suddenly did not suppress the anger in his heart and slapped the table.

The heart is like a mirror.

As for what Zhang Rui is going to do, he can also guess a rough idea, he obviously wants to take the initiative to take the responsibility this time, so as to calm the grievances of the Gao family and his son, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the [Shuntian City] defense battle.

Gao Jie's father and son are in vain.

They themselves are at fault in the past, they bully others, do a lot of evil, and want to kill people, but now, they still want to use their power to suppress people, so as to frame Zhang Rui, so that Zhang Rui can't eat and walk around.

(National thief also)

However, he could understand Zhang Rui's concerns, now, at the critical point of the defense of [Shuntian City], the hundreds of thousands of Gao family troops stationed in the Great Yu River were of great importance.

It must not be at this juncture that the Gao family's father and son find a reason not to send troops.

Wang Chengen knew that Gao Jie also understood this truth, and he would definitely take advantage of this advantage, so as to use the topic to play to achieve the effect of punishing Zhang Rui.

Alas!!

Now, what does he mean by understanding Zhang Rui's twist?

This piece of music is for you to see.

He used it to show his heart.

At this moment, he felt more and more that Zhang Rui was a "loyal minister" who was brave and loyal, otherwise, who could endure humiliation like this, for the Ming Dynasty, for the king's plan, Zhang Rui was not easy.

"Xiao Guizi, you come here with your ears, we will be in front of you in a while, so ......"

After thinking about it, Wang Chengen thought about it, so he waved his hand and called Xiao Guizi.

The two of them combined.

Afterwards.

Go see Chongzhen.

(Acting)
