Chapter 286: Torture (I)

Chenshi, outside the Nianzi Hutong, Jinyi Wei.

The cavalry came back one after another, and reported to the commander Luo Sigong and Liu Qiaoyu, the governor of Beizhen Fusi, that no trace of the Wenxiang Sect hiding was found anywhere in the capital.

Luo Sigong stood in the courtyard, crossed his arms, and said loudly: "For a while behind, Ben Shuai may want to escort Wan Liye's coffin." The brothers left behind by Wei Li were all dispatched by Governor Liu, and the thousands of households, did they understand? ”

There was a flurry of responses.

Luo Sigong made a gesture of dissolution, put on a straight face, and turned around and walked towards the duty room.

Entering the inner hall, he sat down behind the bookcase, wiped his solemn expression, stared at Liu Qiao and Luo Yangxing who followed up, and Zheng Haizhu, who was dressed as a brocade guard, and said in a suppressed voice: "The new monarch has ascended the throne, and he wants to check the yellow book." That thing was brought out and flipped through one by one, it could be fucking dead. The household department asked the yamen to rescue people, so I sent Gu Qingquan and a few other scribes to the northern Guozi Prison to be locked up and turned over the yellow book. However, there may be hidden piles in our guard, so in addition to searching those places under the pretense of checking the method of Wenxiang Sect, we have to let go of the rumors, just say that Liu Qiao can mobilize more brothers. ”

Everyone in the room nodded.

Shanxi Bo Langzhong, who drugged Liu Qiao's son, if he also had a connection with the accomplices of Jinyi Weili Gu Qingquan, Wei Li would have to do a trick to investigate the case, and Liu Qiao temporarily got the information of greater power, and he could also catch Bo Langzhong.

Previously, Liu Qiao accompanied Zheng Haizhu to explain the suspicious points of the words "Nanzhu killed me" in the edict prison, as well as the Jin merchant silver and other things analyzed by Wang Wenyan, Luo Sigong was shocked and very satisfied.

Old subordinates and new allies, when they have the clues, they have no intention of hiding from him, yes, they can work together.

Especially Zheng Haizhu, a woman, has already had dealings with the palace, and she has heard that she has faced the saint several times, so she didn't skip him Luo Sigong and went directly to tell Long Live Lord.

This is not only not greedy for merit, but also carries the meaning of knowing how to defend him Luo Sigong. Otherwise, looking at the gentle and obedient Long Live Lord, who knows if he will muttered in his heart, feeling that they are the first personal guard of the Son of Heaven, and none of the ladies who have not been in Beijing for a short time have the ability.

Now, Luo Sigong saw that Zheng Haizhu was still sitting quietly, without any leaping performance, and only signaled Luo Yangxing to talk about the situation at Jishuitan Wharf.

After Luo Yangxing finished speaking, Luo Sigong said to Zheng Haizhu with a sense of approval: "It's still a good idea for Mrs., pretending to check the origin of the Xiangjiao, whether it is the alley or the wharf, the movement of the investigation is bigger, and it will not startle the snake." Liu Dudu, on his side, let's talk about it too. ”

Liu Qiao opened his mouth and said: "There are no suspicious people or objects in Fahua Temple, there are several alleys around, and there are no Cantonese merchants surnamed Xu who are rented. Therefore, the surname Xu, whether he has changed his residence, he really needs to follow the people over there to see. Magpie Hutong, I personally took someone to check, the mansion of Shanxi people, the rented house is a young descendant, as Mrs. Zheng expected, the surname Fan, the hometown is in Shanxi, the road guide is written 'Fan Wencheng', only he spoke, but it is a Shandong accent. ”

When Zheng Haizhu heard this, he leaned forward a little.

"Wencheng two words, how to write them?" She asked Liu Qiao.

"The text of the Temple of Literature, the journey of the journey."

"Where is the accent in Shandong?"

"The one in Dengzhou." Liu Qiao almost didn't think about it, and said with certainty.

After the capital of the imperial city of Beijing was established by the Yongle Emperor, many Shandong people poured in, who worked as cooks, laborers, and boats. Therefore, it is not surprising that Liu Qiao, a native of Beijing, often investigates the streets and alleys of the city, and is familiar with the accents of different places in Shandong.

Zheng Haizhu's gaze moved to Luo Sigong's face: "Wei Shuai, the person discovered by Liu Dudu is very likely to be a Liao person from Fushun. ”

Luo Sigong and Liu Qiao both had an expression of "how to say this" on their faces.

Zheng Haizhu said: "I have traveled back and forth several times in Dengzhou, Shandong, and I have seen every family eating pasta. Shanxi people too. But in the past, there were a large number of Denglai people to Liao, Shandong's grain was not enough, and the imperial court has always allocated grain from Nanzhili to transport, mostly rice. I walked through Lushun to Liaoyang and to Fushun in southern Liaodong, where there was a lot of water, and the people near the state city could grow a season of rice. Therefore, many people in Liaodong eat rice when they are small. And Wang Wenyan's family reported to me before that the family in Magpie Hutong often has grain to deliver rice. Therefore, this Fan Gongzi, who speaks a Dengzhou accent and loves rice, is mostly Liao. And after the victory of Fushun that year, we wandered around the city for a while, and learned that there was a descendant of Fan Zhongyan in the city, who was called Fan Wencheng. ”

Luo Sigong understood and asked, "Madam has seen that Fan Wencheng?" ”

Zheng Haizhu shook his head: "I haven't seen it, it is said that I am in a hurry to go to Shenyang to study and prepare for the scientific examination." It is impossible to confirm by looking at the face, but if it is assumed that it is really this person...... Wei Shuai, borrow pen and ink. ”

Zheng Haizhu stood up, walked to Luo Sigong's case, took the paper and dipped it in ink, and wrote.

While writing, he analyzed: "Fushun is close to the territory of Jiannu, and the old chief Nurhachi likes to buy Han people to be spies, and once bought the military general Li Yongfang, do you know if you will buy those talented people who are not expected to be officials?" The Jin merchants of Zhangjiakou, through the Mongolian collusion with the Houjin, transferred the Han people who had invested in Liaodong to build slaves, and transferred them to the Jin merchants, so that they could enter Beijing openly and honestly, and in the name of doing business, they could do espionage. In Fahua Temple, it seems that he is looking for revenge, but he did not enter the other house of Father-in-law Wei, and it can be concluded that the surname Xu made it to make a show. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Haizhu looked at Luo Yangxing: "So, what Luo Gongzi said at the dock this morning is right, the surname Xu collaborated with the enemy in the north, but the Ming people who were in collusion with him were not only the Ming people in Fujian, but also the Ming people in Shanxi and Liaodong. If so, I don't think the one surnamed Xu will be the minions of Concubine Zheng and King Fu. ”

Luo Sigong was familiar with the interests of all parties, and said coldly: "Yes, if the concubine wants to support King Fu, most of them are still like Yang Lian and they are worried about, using women to drag down the body of the long-lived lord, and after the eldest son of the emperor ascends the throne, she will use the means as the queen mother." Otherwise, if the Quartet colluded and rushed to usurp the throne, how could the ministers of the Ming Dynasty agree? ”

Zheng Haizhu thought to himself, but there is no need to think of Wenchen as so dignified, two hundred years ago, Zhu Di was not in the right position, and he did not see all the Wenchen in Nanjing martyred like Fang Xiaoru, and a few decades later, whether it was Li Chuang entering Beijing or the Qing army entering Beijing, I did not see all the Wenchen in Beijing going straight to the coal mountain to hang.

Moreover, King Fu, although he and Emperor Hui of Jin are separated by four or five Liu Adou, but Zheng Guifei is in the court, after all, there are many non-Donglin ministers who support him. This mother and son, in the northern suburbs of the capital, still have a team that is not clear, and the family is not a family or a battalion, and Cui Wenjing's team patrolling the camp does not know if it is her subordinates.

However, Zheng Haizhu still agreed with Luo Sigong's judgment that the concubine would not be in a hurry to rebel, and looked at Liu Qiao meaningfully.

Liu Qiao understood that this woman gave him the opportunity to perform, and the grim look on her face immediately became clearer.

"Wei Shuai," Liu Qiao pointed to the strength of Zheng Haizhu on the paper, "Fujian Navy Master Sheng's family is strong, Yu Zhigao has collected a lot of money from the foreign ships that come and go, why did he collude with Jiannu?" Yan Siqi opposite him is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Therefore, he thought that whether it was the Jin merchants in Shanxi or the Zheng generals in Fujian, whether it was the old chieftain of Jiannu or the traitors of the Liao, they were all used by the surnamed Xu. And the surname Xu, according to Mrs. Zheng's inference, if it is related to the person who stared at Ma Xuanfu's cell, he happened to have appeared in Java, perhaps, he was the descendant of Emperor Jianwen who had not been visited by the eunuchs of Sanbao when they went to sea. ”

Luo Sigong's hand touched his chin and landed on the desk.

"Let's torture Gu Qingquan tonight," Luo Sigong said to Liu Qiao, "Please listen to Mrs. Zheng." ”
