The last time Yang Chengying slept in his bedroom was a month ago.

Being in the safest environment, I rarely took a nap when I was relaxed, and when I woke up, it was almost dark.

Stretching and yawning, Yang Chengying got up sleepy-eyed.

"Your Highness is awake."

Chunyun's gentle voice came into Yang Chengying's ears, and he glanced at her.

"What hour?" Yang Chengying yawned again.

"Back to Your Highness, it's the second quarter of Youzheng."

Yang Chengying said "oh", then got up and sorted out his futon.

Soon fold into tofu cubes.

Chunyun instructed the maid to bring hot water.

This was originally something that Yang Chengying wanted to do by himself, but since someone did it for him, it was difficult for him to refuse.

He put the towel in the hot water, brought it up, twisted it, and applied it to his face.

"Who was there when I was resting?" Yang Chengying asked while applying his face.

"The Fourth and Fifth Ladies came not long ago, and when they saw that you were not awake, they left." Chunyun replied.

Yang Chengying did not find it strange that he was at the intermarket point with the left wing of Horqin to catch the lama, and the left wing Zasak Wu Keshan could not escape the involvement.

He asked, "Who else?" ”

"There is also Lord Bao Chengxian, the secretary of the Dali Academy, who has been waiting in the observation tower for nearly half an hour."

"What! Why didn't you wake me up? ”

"Lord Bao said that his business is not big, and it will not hurt to wait for His Highness to wake up."

"Okay."

Yang Chengying knew that this was Bao Chengxian's kindness, and it had nothing to do with Chunyun.

He quickly changed his clothes, put on his cloak again, went out with his feet up, stepped on the snow, and went to the observation tower.

The second floor of the observation building is the study, and the first floor is the reception hall, and only the court meeting or assembly will be held in the Chongzheng Palace.

The rest of the time is in the belvedere.

When he arrived, it was completely dark, and the parlor was lit with oil lamps.

In the alternating light and dark reception hall, Bao Chengxian presented the results of the investigation with both hands:

After many investigations, it was preliminarily determined that it was Dorjee Lama Zhangtu, who was dissatisfied with His Royal Highness's abolition of monks and non-payment of taxes, and traveled to Donglin Temple, where he saw that Lama Zhebu and Lai Bu were not strong-minded, and lured the two to defect from Donglin Temple with heresy.

The two actually followed Zhangtu for a short time, and they were captured by His Highness only when they spread heresies in the territory of Xinmin Mansion.

However, the two refused to admit it at first, and the minister used some means, but the two were still only willing to confess part of the facts. The minister asked His Royal Highness to agree to punish the two of them as an example.

The minister first sent a letter to the Criminal Department, asking the Criminal Department to send personnel to the left-wing territory to arrest the escaped Zhang Tu, and then sent the Dali Yuan to the left-wing to bring the people related to Wu Keshan to Shenyang to find out. ”

Yang Chengying took a cursory glance at the five confessions, four of which belonged to the two lamas, and the time should be the result of two interrogations.

The last one is Wu Keshan's, who took the initiative to cooperate with the investigation in Dali Yuan.

Thinking of Hai Lanzhu and Deyin, Yang Chengying has reason to believe that it was they who came up with the idea to let Wu Keshan go to Dali Academy.

"How much do you think Wu Keshan has to do with this matter?" Yang Chengying asked.

"The minister thinks that Wu Keshan is only guilty of 'negligence', but judging from his performance before and after, he is not a participant, and he is loyal to His Royal Highness."

Bao Cheng replied first: "It was only after the incident that he realized the danger. Sent someone to hunt down Zhangtu, but unfortunately let the cunning Zhangtu escape. ”

"Could it be that after the incident, I was afraid of being punished, so I wanted to strike first and have no proof of death?"

Yang Chengying asked deliberately.

This sounds really chilling, but there are only him and Bao Chengxian in the reception hall, and they speak more directly.

Bao Chengxian also knew that the king was talking about things, and replied calmly: "No." ”

"Why?"

"Because if Wu Keshan is scheming, then he will not go out to spread heresies when His Highness inspects the Xinmin Mansion."

"Makes sense."

Moreover, after the East Window incident, he had only two choices, one was to simply not do anything and continue to rebel; The second is to go directly to the Dali Yuan to defend in every possible way, instead of subconsciously going to the suburbs to beg the fourth lady. ”

"Your analysis makes sense, just wait for Wu Keshan's people to be brought to Shenyang, and you will know the truth after investigation."

Yang Chengying also believed in his heart that Wu Keshan was innocent.

But precisely because of Wu Keshan's special status, it is even more necessary to find sufficient evidence and issue a logical proclamation to block the mouths of the people.

For this reason, Yang Chengying emphasized: "Chengxian, you can't just play favoritism and find a scapegoat to prevaricate me just because Wu Keshan and I are in-laws." You know, you do a lot of harm when you do this. ”

"The minister understands!" Bao Chengxian's heart is like a mirror, "If the law of the country is messed up, the minister will be a sinner through the ages." ”

"If you have such an awareness, I will be relieved." Yang Chengying nodded.

No matter how "unfilial" the descendants are, as a contemporary person, we must do what this generation should do.

Then there was the matter of searching for Zhang Tu, and Yang Cheng was summoned to Shi Tingzhu, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

The Criminal Department is in charge of criminal investigation, justice and prison affairs, and is the superior of the inspection departments of the prefectures and counties.

Shi Tingzhu seemed to know that Yang Chengying was going to summon him, dressed neatly, and arrived as soon as he shouted.

Yang Chengying asked about the pursuit of Zhang Tu.

Shi Tingzhu replied: "The minister has sent the second brother Shi Tianzhu to lead dozens of elite people to the Horqin left wing station, and be sure to capture the chapter map and hand it over to His Highness for punishment." ”

"You can accurately grasp the key points of the matter, and you deserve to be the secretary of the criminal department."

Yang Chengying was finally relieved.

He vaguely felt that if he simply thought that Zhang Tu was personally dissatisfied and made trouble, it seemed that he did not touch the essence of the problem.

Since the domination of the Mongolian tribes, Yang Chengying has done a series of practices, many of which have harmed the interests of vested interests.

If there is a chapter map, it is very likely that there are seventeen or eighteen.

These people are ambitious, using the status of lamas to deceive people's minds and bring chaos to the steppe, which is finally peaceful.

What they want is "chaos", because chaos is the ladder of promotion.

In other words, we must take advantage of this opportunity to deal a severe blow to the separatist forces in the Mongolian tribes, and at the same time deter some careerists who are ready to move.

He wants all Zazak on the steppe to know that times have changed!

Yang Chengying thought as he walked, and went straight to the bedroom in the inner courtyard until the guards stopped.

Suddenly, a series of footsteps sounded from behind him.

The sound of stepping on the snow was crisp and loud.

Yang Chengying frowned, reached out to hold the hilt of the sword on the left side of his body, and naturally took a big step forward and then turned around, and was immediately stunned.

The people who came turned out to be Hai Lanzhu, Deyin and Bumu Butai.

"You ......" Yang Chengying was about to speak, but was pushed into the house by Deyin.

Hai Lanzhu and Bu Mu Butai followed in, and Hai Lanzhu turned around and closed the door gently.

It was dark inside.

Through the weak snow, Yang Chengying could see Deyin spread out the bed, Bumu Butai set the pillow, and Hai Lanzhu untied his belt beside the bed and looked at him.

Then the curtain in front of the bed slowly fell.

Hearing the footsteps of the guards fading away in the corridor, Yang Chengying slowly released the hilt of his sword, pulled the screen open, and then walked in.
