There is no impermeable wall in the world, not long after Yan Song and the others left the Qianqing Palace.

The news that the imperial army captured Hailongtun, Banzhou Xuanfu made Yang Lie killed, and his family, relatives and related people were all dealt with by the imperial court on charges of rebellion, and the news soon spread.

As soon as this news came out, it quickly caused an uproar in the capital, and both officials and ordinary people began to discuss the matter in a matter-of-fact manner.

Night, Yuwang Mansion.

Zhu Zaikun naturally learned the news through his own channels.

Then, he immediately gathered everyone and gathered in the Yuwang Mansion to discuss the next response.

At this moment, in the study, I saw Zhu Zaikun sitting on the main seat, his face full of excitement.

"I really didn't expect that it only took more than a month for the imperial court to pacify Banzhou!"

When Zhu Zaikun's voice fell, I saw Gao Gong on the side take over the conversation and explained.

"Your Royal Highness, the imperial court has been fully prepared before the official dispatch of troops to Banzhou, whether it is the time, the location or the people, they are all firmly occupied by the imperial court, and there is no reason to win this battle?"

Zhang Juzheng, who was on the side, heard Gao Gong's words, and was also quite emotional, and then added.

"Your Majesty, this time, you are also quite particular about employing people, and appoint Feng Yue, the governor of Huguang, as the commander of the army!"

"Up and down the government and the opposition, no one knows the situation of Tusi in the southwest better than Feng Yue, there is a way, knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, and because of this, the imperial court can pacify Banzhou without much effort!"

After listening to Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng's words, a thoughtful expression appeared on Zhu Zaikun's face.

At this moment, I saw Xu Jie cough lightly twice, attracting the attention of everyone present.

"Ahem, everyone, there's something down there, I want to show it to everyone!"

After Xu Jie finished speaking, he unhurriedly took out the case file that had been pressed down by the Criminal Department from his sleeve earlier.

In that case file, it was recorded that Ma Ningyuan mobilized the guards without permission, trampled on the seedlings, and caused a lot of life!

Seeing this, Gao Gong on the side suddenly had a suspicious look on his face, and immediately, he saw him look at Xu Jie, and then said.

"Elder Xu Ge, show it to me!"

"Hmm."

When Xu Jie heard this, he replied imperceptibly, and immediately handed over the case file in his hand to Gao Gong's hands.

Then, I saw Gao Gong take the case file from Xu Jie's hand and began to browse it carefully.

After Gao Gong finished browsing the contents of the file, he was immediately furious, only to see him slam the table and say in a deep voice.

"What a bastard, a small Hangzhou prefect, without permission, actually dared to mobilize the guards without permission, trampled on seedlings, grass and people's lives, is there justice in this world?"

"I'll call someone to sparse tomorrow and impeach this Ma Ningyuan!"

Xu Jie took in the expression on Gao Gong's face, picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and said comfortingly.

"Brother Su Qing, calm down, don't act rashly, so as not to startle the snake, besides, aren't we just discussing now, how should we deal with this matter next?"

"Yes, Gao Ge Lao, Xu Ge Lao is reasonable, now we should really calm down and not mess with ourselves!"

After Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng on the side also followed closely behind Ying Hedao.

Under the admonition of Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong's emotions were finally calmed down.

After that, I saw Zhang Juzheng turn his gaze to the case file in Gao Gong's hand and pleaded.

"Elder Gao Ge, can you show this case file to me?"

"Oh, take it!"

After Gao Gong finished speaking, he handed the case file in his hand to Zhang Juzheng's hand.

After Zhang Juzheng took the case file from Gao Gong's hand, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately opened it and began to browse the contents on it.

In this case file, it is recorded that when promoting the change of rice to mulberry, Ma Ningyuan, the prefect of Hangzhou, mobilized the guards without permission, trampled on the seedlings, and caused a lot of life!

Although in that case file, Ma Ningyuan's behavior has been greatly embellished, and most of the fault has been put on the villagers.

But when Zhang Juzheng saw those cold words, he couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.

After Zhang Juzheng finished browsing the contents, he fell into a long silence.

Seeing this, Zhu Zaikun, who was sitting on the main seat, withdrew his gaze from Zhang Juzheng's body and commanded.

"Show it to Lonely!"

Subsequently, I saw Zhu Zaikun take over the case file from the silent Zhang Juzheng.

When Zhu Zaikun saw the case recorded in the file, he only felt that a nameless fire rose from his heart.

He subconsciously clenched the case file in his hand, and because he used too much force, his knuckles were a little white.

After a long time, I saw Zhu Zaikun come back to his senses, and after looking around, he said in a deep voice.

"Yan Dang is really a disaster to the country and the people, we must not stand idly by on this matter, a small Hangzhou prefect is so fearless and careless of people's lives!"

As soon as Zhu Zaikun's words fell, the high arch on the side also followed closely to express his attitude.

"Well, Your Highness is right, we must not stand idly by on this matter, we have to seek justice for those people!"

Seeing this, Zhang Juzheng on the side showed a look of worry on his face, only to see him frown, and then spoke.

"You know, this Ma Ningyuan is a student of Hu Zongxian, and Hu Zongxian will be transferred to the capital after a while, will it be ......?"

Before Zhang Juzheng's words were finished, he was interrupted by Gao Gong on the side, indignantly.

"Hmph, Hu Zongxian is such a loyal person, how can there be such a student?"

Xu Jie, who was on the side, also deeply agreed with Gao Gong's words, and then sighed.

"Alas, yes, Hu Zongxian's contribution to the imperial court is not small!"

"Nothing else to talk about for the time being, before this, the situation in the southeast coastal area was all supported by him alone, and it looked like he was going to be transferred back to the capital by His Majesty......

Seeing this situation, Zhu Zaikun, who was sitting on the main seat, put forward his own ideas after thinking for a while.

"Even so, we can't let this matter go unchecked, think of the people who were trampled to death by horses in order to protect the seedlings!"

"Perhaps, Hu Zongxian himself didn't know about this matter from beginning to end, and we did this to let him see his student clearly as soon as possible, so as not to make a bigger heel!"

When Zhu Zaikun's words fell, the room fell into a long silence.

I don't know how long it took, but I saw Xu Jie come back to his senses and take the lead in expressing his attitude.

"Well, His Royal Highness King Yu has a point, right is right, wrong is wrong, we have to take this opportunity to get justice for those people who have been oppressed by the strict party!"

When Gao Gong heard this, he was not in a hurry to express his position, and at this moment, he was in a tangle.

On the one hand, he has a lot of respect for Hu Zongxian, and he doesn't want to see him implicated in this matter and delay his good future.

But on the other hand, whenever Gao Gong closed his eyes, he unconsciously recalled in his mind the whole case recorded in the dossier.

In the end, after hesitating for a long time, I saw Gao Gong looking in the direction where Xu Jie's was located, and cut the railway.

"Well, Elder Xu Ge has a point, we really can't let this matter go unchecked, no matter who it is, if you do something wrong, you have to pay the price, even if he is a student of Hu Zongxian!"

After that, everyone looked at Zhang Juzheng, who had not expressed his position for a long time, and waited for his response.

Facing everyone's eyes, I saw Zhang Juzheng come back to his senses, cough lightly, look at Xu Jie apologetically, and speak.

"Elder Xu Ge, this matter is too important, it will affect the whole body, please allow me to think about it next time!"

Xu Jie seemed to have expected this, so he didn't show the slightest displeasure on his face, but waved his hand quite generously and spoke.

"Well, indeed, the stakes are high, and it really should be carefully considered!"

After Xu Jie finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Zaikun and Gao Gong on the side respectively, and continued.

"Anyway, it's not in a hurry for a while, let's go back and think about it and make a decision!"

When Zhang Juzheng heard Xu Jie's words, a look of gratitude appeared on his face at the right time, and he immediately looked at Xu Jie, and then spoke.

"Thank you, Elder Xu Ge!"

Afterwards, I saw Zhang Juzheng get up from the seat and bid farewell to Zhu Zaikun, who was sitting in the main seat.

After that, Zhang Juzheng didn't stop at all, and turned around and left the room.

After walking out of Yuwang's Mansion, I saw Zhang Juzheng raise his head, look at the stars hanging in the night sky, and muttered to himself silently.

"This matter is far from being as simple as it seems!"

Then, Zhang Juzheng took a sedan chair and marched in the direction of the mansion where he lived in the capital.

……

Along the way, Zhang Juzheng was thinking about Xu Jie's purpose for doing this.

"Speaking of Xu Jie, why did you pick this time to turn over the case file that was suppressed by the Criminal Department earlier?"

"What is his purpose, does he want to take this opportunity to strike a good blow at the Yan Party?"

When the sedan chair that Zhang Juzheng was riding traveled to a place not far from the mansion where he lived.

Zhang Juzheng got off the sedan chair, paced slowly on the road with his hands behind his back, and not far from him, the guards in charge of guarding his safety were observing every move around him.

As for the high-sounding words Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng has never believed a word, he, Xu Jie, like Yan Song, has never had the people in his heart!

In that case, how can we talk about seeking justice for the people?

In Zhang Juzheng's view, Xu Jie and Yan Song are the same dog, and at present, the reason why Xu Jie is trying to bring down Yan Dang is to replace him!

Once Xu Jie takes power in the future, then he will definitely be the second Yan Song!

"Ma Ningyuan, Hu Zongxian, Gao Hanwen, Zheng Michang, He Maocai, Zhang Runde, Yan Shifan, Yan Song, ......"

I saw Zhang Juzheng frowning, silently thinking in his heart, when the time comes, this case may involve people.

"Once Ma Ningyuan's case is poked out, the first person to be implicated is his teacher Hu Zongxian, and then Gao Hanwen, Zheng Michang, and He Maocai!"

"Then, Zhang Runde, the waiter of the Criminal Department, will also be to blame, and after this, Yan Song's father and son will also be involved!"

"This matter is big and big, small and small, and big, this is a careless disregard for human life and lawlessness, and in the process of implementing the transformation of rice into mulberry, a few people died!"

"This case alone is far from being able to bring down Yan Song and them, besides, this case also involves Hu Zongxian, and when the time comes, His Majesty may end up in person!"

When Zhang Juzheng came back to his senses, he had already walked to the door of his house.

When the little guys at the door saw Zhang Juzheng coming back, they saluted him respectfully.

"Sir!"

"Hmm."

Zhang Juzheng replied imperceptibly, and then entered the mansion.

After entering the mansion, Zhang Juzheng did not rush back to his room to rest, but came to the front of several wolfberry trees planted in the courtyard and growing happily.

Looking at its lush foliage, Zhang Juzheng's brain was racing.

"Since Xu Jieming knows that with this case, he can't bring down Yan Song and them, so why does he still take out the case file in public, is it possible, what other purpose does he have?"

After thinking about it in this direction for a long time, Zhang Juzheng did not get an answer in this regard, and then, a wave of sleepiness hit, and Zhang Juzheng decided to put this question aside for the time being.

"It's better to rest early, and we'll talk about this tomorrow!"

……

On the other side, the Forbidden City, Lu Fang's residence.

The sky is dotted with stars, densely covered with stars, like a pearl in the night, shining with a cold light.

After Feng Bao finished his duty on the side of the celebrant supervisor, he came to Lu Fang's residence non-stop to wait.

Feng Bao's shadow was also illuminated by the orange light emitted by the lantern, which was quite clear.

Although at night, the temperature was lower than during the day, the weather was still very hot, so soon, beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down Feng Bao's forehead.

And Feng Bao also used his sleeves from time to time to wipe the sweat oozing from his forehead, despite the hot weather and the infestation of mosquitoes, Feng Bao did not have the slightest intention of leaving.

Feng Bao knew very well in his heart that all this that happened today would definitely cause Godfather Lu Fang's dissatisfaction!

And the next thing he has to do is to explain to Lu Fang the reason behind this, and dispel his suspicions by the way.

Time passed slowly, I don't know how long it had passed, but in Feng Bao's sight, the figure he had been looking forward to for a long time finally appeared.

Then, I saw Feng Bao's face was happy, and he immediately greeted him.

After Feng Bao came to Lu Fang, his attitude was extremely respectful, he leaned down and called softly.

"Godfather!"

When Lu Fang saw that it was Feng Bao, a little surprise couldn't help but appear on his face, and then, he saw Lu Fang take in the expression on Feng Bao's face, raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile.

"Oh, Feng Bao, it's so late, what are you doing here? Could it be that you are here to give your godfather a dismissal? ”

"Where, where, godfather said and laughed, the child came here this time, and he came to see you!"

When Feng Bao heard Lu Fang's words, a panicked look suddenly appeared on his face, and he hurriedly explained.

Hearing this, Lu Fang nodded imperceptibly, withdrew his gaze from Feng Bao's body, and commanded.

"If you have anything to say, just say it here!"

"Godfather, this ...... There are a lot of people here, and I'm afraid it will be ...... then."

When Feng Bao heard this, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face at the right time, and he cautiously asked Lu Fang.

"Well, in that case, then come with Godfather!"

When Lu Fang heard Feng Bao's words, he nodded, and then led the way in front of himself, Feng Bao couldn't help but be happy when he saw this situation, and hurriedly followed Lu Fang's footsteps.

After entering the room, Lu Fang looked around, and after confirming that there was no trace of any movement of the items in the room, he nodded and sat on the main seat by himself, while Feng Bao took the first step, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured Lu Fang a cup of tea.

After that, I saw Feng Bao kneeling on his knees and handing the tea to Lu Fang very respectfully.

"Godfather, please drink tea!"

"Hmm."

When Lu Fang heard this, after looking Feng Bao up and down, he took the teacup and took a sip.

Feng Bao saw that Lu Fang took the teacup from his hand, and the whole person couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said to himself.

"Since the godfather is willing to take this cup of tea, it means that there is still room for redemption!"

Feng Bao thought so, and his mood became more and more excited, and at this moment, Lu Fang's voice without a trace of emotion sounded.

"Feng Bao, let's say, what's the matter with finding a godfather?"

"Dry ...... Godfather, the child's master...... The main thing is to explain that the child did not mean to ...... the incident that happened during the day."

When Feng Bao heard this, his face was full of panic, and he saw him raise his head, look at Lu Fang, and hesitate.

"Feng Bao, you don't have to explain anything to your godfather, this is all your creation!"

When Lu Fang said this, his face was full of warm smiles, and then, he saw him get up from his seat and personally help Feng Bao up from the ground.

Feng Bao looked at the warm smile on Lu Fang's face, and the panic on his face was even worse, because he was too frightened, Feng Bao's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Then, only to hear the sound of 'plop', Feng Bao, who had just been helped up from the ground by Lu Fang himself, knelt on the ground again.

"Dry ...... Godfather, you listen to the child's explanation, the thing is like this, today it is the child's turn to be on duty in the celebrant supervisor, and then ......"

Lu Fang saw that the content of Feng Bao's narration was not much different from the news he had received earlier, and his eyes gradually eased when he looked at Feng Bao.

After Feng Bao recounted the ins and outs of the whole matter, he raised his head with a little weakness, looked at Lu Fang, and said cautiously.

"Dry ...... Godfather, that's all there is to it! ”

"Well, godfather knows!"

Hearing this, Lu Fang glanced over Feng Bao's body and said unhurriedly.

Feng Bao obviously didn't expect that Lu Fang would actually react like this, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, plucked up his courage, and confirmed to Lu Fang.

"Dry ...... Godfather, you don't blame ......"

"Oh, blame what?"

When Lu Fang heard Feng Bao's words, he raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"No...... No, no, nothing, it's the child who said the wrong thing, and please punish the godfather! ”

Seeing this, Feng Bao hurriedly swallowed back the words that he had not had time to say, lowered his head, and said in shame.

Lu Fang seemed to have guessed what Feng Bao was thinking, nodded, and then spoke.

"Well, there is no need to punish him, as my godfather said before, all of this is your creation!"

When Feng Bao heard this, his face was full of disbelief, and when he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Lu Fang waving his hand and speaking.

"Okay, it's not early, you better go back and rest early!"

Although Lu Fang's tone was extremely calm, Feng Bao still heard irrefutable meanings from it.

Thinking of this, Feng Bao's face couldn't help but show a bitter smile, only to see him lean down and salute Lu Fang respectfully.

"Yes,...... Godfather, the child is leaving! ”

"Hmm."

Hearing this, Lu Fang withdrew his gaze from Feng Bao's body and responded imperceptibly.

After this, Feng Bao took heavy steps and left Lu Fang's residence.

After Feng Bao left, I saw Lu Fang slowly get up from the chair and come to the door.

Lu Fang looked at Feng Bao's departing back, his face was full of banter, only to see him shake his head and muttered to himself silently.

"Feng Bao, Feng Bao, you still lack a little heat!"

"Godfather doesn't have to sit in the position of the palm seal eunuch until he dies, and when the godfather finishes what needs to be done for His Majesty, you will take over!"

Then, I saw Lu Fang retract his gaze, his eyes full of obscurity.

……

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the evening of the next day.

Outside the Qianqing Palace, the sun slowly slanted westward, the afterglow sprinkled on the horizon, the sky showed a faint orange, and gradually dispersed, the sunset slowly occupied the whole sky, a breeze blew by, bringing a little coolness.

In the Qianqing Palace, after Jiajing sent the last letter from the celebrant and finished browsing.

I saw Lu Fang, who had been waiting beside Jiajing, step forward and report respectfully.

"Your Majesty, this is a handwritten letter written to you by Yang Xuan, the governor of Jiliao!"

After Lu Fang finished speaking, he took out a letter from his sleeve and respectfully handed it to Jiajing.

"Oh, Yang Xuan?"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he took the letter from Lu Fang's hand and began to read it carefully.

After a long time, I saw Jiajing put the letter in his hand aside, chuckled, and then spoke.

"Well, Yang Xuan did a good job, not only assisted Zasaktu Khan and quelled the rebellion in the tribe, but also completed the strategic goals set by the imperial court, and successfully brought the Chahar tribe under the control of my Daming!"

When Jiajing said this, he turned around, looked at Lu Fang, and commanded lightly.

"In this way, Lu Fang, on top of the original reward, add some additional rewards, and give him some more gold, silver and jewelry!"

"You can also choose one or two treasures from my inner money and give them to him, and in addition, those soldiers who participated in this battle, don't be disadvantaged!"

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, his expression immediately turned grim and he replied in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave understands!"
