Volume 2 Paragraph 19 Immortality
Chen Anshang looked left and right, took out a few silver tickets and a gift list from his arms, and gently placed them under the "Da Ming Law" in front of Zhang Wen, Chen Anshang said in a low voice: "The last time that part was not in line with the wishes of the adults, the lower officials and others wrote a new one, please look at it." ”
As soon as Chen Anshang's duck-like voice lowered the volume, it sounded intermittent, as if his voice was hoarse.
Zhang Wen looked down and saw that the things around the blood-red table, the silver tickets, etc., were placed right under the Da Ming Law, which was completely ironic. He grinned to pick up the book, tossed it aside like garbage, and put the silver ticket in his sleeve pocket before looking at the list.
Chen Anzhi saw Zhang Wen's action, and his face suddenly became happy. Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhang Wen said: "I can't sit in this position for long, I'm really sorry to accept your thoughts." ”
"Big ...... My lord, what's wrong? Chen Anshang's face changed, and he looked at Zhang Wen's sleeve distressedly.
Zhang Wenxin said in his heart that in the current situation, the Zhejiang Party saw that Donglin was planted, and he must be busy beating the water dogs; On Donglin's side, Li Ruzi will definitely be able to calculate that Zhang Wen is an obstacle, and will ask someone to impeach Zhang Wen and drag him into the water. Zhang Wen is still difficult to get away with the crime, but it is Jinyiwei's job to arrest officials, Jinyiwei is a royal person, Zhang Wen has the relationship of the prince, as long as he can rest assured to go in and wait.
Anyway, the salt class couldn't sit still. Of course, Zhang Wen would not say this to Chen Anshang, but said: "It won't be long before you know." But I am still very touched by your heart. ”
Chen Anshang wanted to cry without tears. Zhang Wen stood up and said, "This matter in the yamen, Master Chen is in charge of it, so I won't come." ”
Zhang Wen swaggered out of the yamen, the sword and the secretary vigilantly guarding the left and right. Zhang Wen let out a long sigh, got into the carriage, and said to the squire who was riding a horse outside: "Go to the Shen Mansion." ”
As soon as he walked to the archway at the corner of the street, Zhang Wen heard someone knocking on the car door, and it was the voice of the sword: "The owner, the lady is here." Zhang Ying got into the car, sat down with Zhang Wen, and asked, "Is Xianggong going to find Miss Shen?" ”
Zhang Wen nodded and said, "Our family, we may have to be separated for a while, you and Miss Shen are together, she must have a safe place." ”
There are so many places in the countryside in the city and in Shen Biyao, there are always hidden places to hide, and she is so good at it, she is not afraid of Li Ruzi coming to Yin. Zhang Wen's eyes flashed with a cold light, and when the prince Zhu Youxiao took the throne, Li Ruzi and his gang all had to die!
At this time, Zhang Ying said in a low voice: "Isn't it good for us to live in seclusion with Miss Shen together?" ”
Zhang Wen shook his head and said coldly: "Li Ruzi is our mortal enemy, with him without me, with me without him, I have to watch him die to sleep peacefully." ”
When I arrived at Shen Biyao's house, the front yard there was originally a money bank, but now it is closed. Zhang Wen asked someone to knock on the door, and the group entered the courtyard. The place where I saw Shen Baguio was still the bamboo building from last time.
Shen Biyao could see Zhang Wen and Zhang Ying behind the bead curtain, but they couldn't see Shen Biyao clearly, they could only see a shadow, and only heard Shen Biyao say: "Mrs. Zhang is also here, forgive Baguio for being inconvenient to meet, this is polite." ”
Zhang Ying stood up and arched his hand: "My subordinates will meet the young owner." ”
At this time, Shen Biyao said: "Don't, since you are married to Lord Zhang, you have no such relationship with me, otherwise how can Lord Zhang greet me?" ”
Zhang Wen was dizzy when he heard this, so he said: "Don't talk about this, they are all their own people, how to call them the same." Miss Shen, my wife and stepmother will go with you, please take care of them. I thank you here. ”
Shen Biyao said: "The news sent by Lord Zhang, Zuo Guangdou has compromised with Donglin, and there is no one on the Zhejiang Party's side, is Lord Zhang really okay?" ”
Zhang Wen groaned, "There may be something...... But I have the status of Jinshi, I can't disappear so suddenly, there is always a chance to turn the tables when I stay. You can rest assured, the eldest grandson of the emperor is definitely going to inherit the throne, we have a relationship with Zhang Yan, and the prince also has the heart to win me over, there is a chance. ”
Shen Biyao said: "Li Ruzi and Master Zhang are not political enemies, they are mortal enemies, and he will do whatever it takes." ”
Zhang Wen thought for a moment and incited: "Do you know where Li Ruzi is?" Since Miss Shen has someone in her hands, why not strike first? ”
"I don't know, he can't be sure where I am, this house is full of our people now. But Master Zhang has come twice, and Li Ruzi may suspect that I am also here. ”
Shen Biyao was not in a hurry, obviously there was something mysterious in the structure of this house, and it was not easy for assassins to sneak in or attack it. She was more worried about Zhang Wen's safety, and Zhang Wen often walked outside.
Zhang Wen was also in a dilemma, so he left the officialdom, his life could be saved, but there was no chance of turning the tables; Let's walk outside, maybe one day someone will stab you to death. Li Ruzi has already realized the danger of Zhang Wen, which has nothing to do with political opinions, so he doesn't care what happens to the court situation, and he will kill Zhang Wen.
When Zhang Wen was at a loss, he heard Shen Biyao say: "I heard a news a month ago, saying that the officials of Honglu Temple are preparing Changsheng Red Pill for the emperor, and they lack a medicine, called Changsheng Pearl, which is a rare treasure...... The officials of Qin Tianjian observed the celestial phenomena and said that the beads were in Zhejiang. Master Zhang said again that the prince also came to Zhejiang, and the prince couldn't leave the palace easily, would he come for the immortal pearl? ”
The Shen family's shops are all over the country, and the news is still very well-informed. But Zhang asked to hear a big head, what kind of red pill is enough to be mysterious, and he actually knew that he was in Zhejiang by watching the celestial phenomena, didn't this make the emperor happy and foolish? Although celestial phenomena are forbidden to be studied by the people, who dares to say that celestial phenomena are a felony to exterminate the nine clans, but Zhang Wen thinks that it is strange that those stars in the sky can pay attention to a bead.
Not only did Zhang Wen not believe it, but the prince Zhu Youxiao didn't believe it either, but the emperor and the crown prince believed it. Li Kezhuo, the Cheng of Honglu Temple, told the emperor a lot about the principle of the red pill, although it was all qi and veins, but it was really reasonable and well-founded, and the officials of Qin Tianjian also said that there was indeed such a bead, pinching his fingers, in the south...... Such a precious thing, Wanli was afraid that those people under him would be greedy by some means, so he asked his grandson to go down and stare at the point in secret, and at the same time asked Jinyiwei to pay attention to the beads. Emperor Wanli didn't believe anyone, not even his grandson, so he restrained both sides, and no one wanted to be greedy for his beads.
So the prince came to Zhejiang, and Zhu Youxiao went to Zhejiang, and he didn't care what the bead was, he didn't believe it at all. Seeing that Zhejiang's salt price is in a mess, I pay attention to its salt price. But Zhu Youxiao is only a son, although he is very likely to inherit the throne, but now he has no real power in his hands for the time being.
I heard Zhang Wen say that it was a group of officials and businessmen who colluded with each other to make ghosts behind the scenes, so I wanted to do something in Zhejiang by the way. If Zhu Youxiao wants to arrest those people, he has to rely on Jinyiwei, but Jinyiwei will not listen to the prince who he catches, Zhu Youxiao originally wanted Zhang Wen to come out with real evidence, so that Jinyiwei could arrest people, but Zhang Wen didn't.
Zhu Youxiao was depressed for a few days, and finally thought of a way, and found the person who came to Jinyiwei and said that there was a clue to the immortal pearl, so he gave an example of the list of officials and businessmen given by Zhang Wen, and arrested all of them. Among them is Li Ruzi's son-in-law Zheng Min, who is still smooth sailing in the officialdom, but he didn't expect a sudden disaster to fall from the sky and be arrested by Jinyiwei. Jinyi Wei doesn't care who you are, no matter how good you mix, it doesn't work, if you catch it, you will be caught.
In order to show that he was for the bead, Zhu Youxiao personally went to the Jinyiwei branch to listen to the interrogation. An officer of the Thousand Households of the Jinyi Guard walked up to Zhu Youxiao and said, "His Royal Highness, the surname Zheng said that he didn't know. ”
"Don't know?" Zhu Youxiao only said three words.
Qianhu said respectfully, "The last general knows what to do." Qianhu walked into the prison, and there were several people in yellow clothes and embroidered spring knives, and Qianhu said: "Torture, until you know it......" He glanced at the boiling water on the firewood, "Just when the water is boiling, wash him." ”
The people who were tortured screamed heartbreakingly, and everyone was expressionless and unmoved, and it was not the first time they had seen it anyway. After a while, Zheng Min stopped screaming, and a brocade-clothed guard poked his finger in front of his nose and said, "Lord Qianhu, he's dead." ”
So Qianhu came up from the stone stairs again, bowed down to Zhu Youxiao and said, "Zheng Min suffered a crime and died. ”
"What?" Zhu Youxiao glared, immediately coughed a few more times, and hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief, "Who told you to kill him?" Zheng Min is not guilty, now that he is dead, how do you explain it to the top? ”
Qianhu said: "His Royal Highness the Prince wants to find that important thing, and he doesn't need to be punished." ”
Zhu Youxiao looked depressed: "This matter can't be known to everyone, if it is known by the people in the outer court, won't you scold the emperor together?" Gotta get them a charge. ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness said yes."
"Ask the other people where the books of salt are and if they don't say anything, they will be punished."
"Yes." Chiho returned to the prison, touched his head and said to the others, "Don't interrogate 'that thing', interrogate where the 'account book for buying and selling salt' is." Catch someone else and ask. ”
The others went inside as they were told, and came out with another man with a shackle weighing a hundred and ten pounds, who had already been tortured to the point of being imhuman, and was dragged half-dead in front of the officers of the thousand households.
Qianhu asked again according to Zhu Youxiao's words, and the man snorted a few times, but before he could say a complete sentence, Qianhu said, "Then I have to use torture again." ”
The man suddenly saw the corpse on the ground from the chaos, revealing the white bones, startled, and finally came to his senses, and said loudly: "I recruit, I recruit ......"
