Li Zengzhi had just returned from Jingzhou's purge of military equipment and military salaries, and at the beginning of the year, many cases and documents needed his personal instructions, and he was busy for several days, and then went to Jiujiang to visit his eldest brother Li Jinglong, who was idle at home, and then returned to the Nanjing Governor's Mansion in the dust.

He had just eaten dinner, and night had just fallen, and he was ready to go to bed under the covers.

The maid waited for Li Zengzhi to finish soaking his feet. Li Zengzhi held a cup of warm ginseng tea and tasted it beautifully, thinking about which concubine's cards to turn over for a while, but the housekeeper came to report and said that Jiang Ayan asked to see him.

"Didn't you tell him not to come during this time?" Li Zengzhi frowned, "Did he say anything?" ”

"He only said that there was something important and he had to tell the master face to face."

Li Zengzhi thought for a while: "Let him wait in the study!" ”

Putting on warm shoes, Li Zengzhi deliberately dried Jiang Ayan's work for a cup of tea, and then came to the study slowly.

The housekeeper accompanied Jiang Ayan to sit on the ground in the study, and when he saw the master coming, he took the door of the study and retreated.

"Governor!"

"What?"

Jiang Ayan approached and whispered, "Tian Yanze was arrested by Jinyiwei, and he is now locked up in the Imperial Prison." ”

"When?" It seems that Li Zengzhi does not know yet. His face was a little solemn.

"I was just escorted to Beijing this morning."

Li Zengzhi's solemn expression softened slightly: "That's still too late......"

"Do you want to say hello to the brothers in the edict and let them ...... him," Jiang Ayan made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"You don't want to get involved in this matter, I'll take care of it!" Li Zengzhi paced back and forth in the study.

Tian Yanze, a chess piece, whether to save or abandon it, Li Zengzhi can't make up his mind at the moment. But whether it is killing or saving, the fewer people who know about this, the better, and most of these subordinates don't have a doorkeeper on their mouths, maybe they will all show off when they pee on their stomachs.

What's more, Jiang Ayan is a person who is brave and unscrupulous, and his brain is not very good, so it is okay for him to do the work of lending and collecting interest, shouting and killing.

The person who uses himself is still involved in the end.

It's safer to deal with this matter yourself.

Save, it's not that it's hard to save, as long as the emperor hasn't been alarmed, it's still easy for him, the former military governor, to ask for a person from Jinyiwei's edict, but Tian Yanze, is there still any value in saving?

As for abandonment, it seems that it cannot be abandoned. When Tian Yanze was taken in, he collected a lot of rebels who also "served Jianwen to death" through his identity as a loyal minister and righteous soldier, including Tie Xuan's descendants, Zhuo Jing's brothers, and Chen Di, the son of Chen Di, the prince of the Jianwen Dynasty, who was assigned to the border of Dengzhou Mansion in Shandong, etc., and through them, a lot of forces have also developed in other border armies, so to speak, there are now their people in the nine border towns!

It's not that Tian Yanze's appeal is strong, it's just that if he abandons him, others will definitely lose confidence and trust in themselves, and if they want to succeed in one fell swoop, they will be affected to some extent, but I am afraid that before the matter is lifted, it is unknown if it will be betrayed by others.

So whether it is to abandon or save, Li Zengzhi has a headache, and as soon as he has a headache, his steps become more and more messy.

It's a pity to discard it if it's tasteless!

Li Zengzhi didn't know that Tian Yanze was arrested because of Jiang Ayan's betrayal, although as a governor, there are eyeliners everywhere, but he can't know everything, not to mention that the eyeliner will not stare at a subordinate he trusts.

If you knew, you would be absolutely angry and vomit blood.

Jiang Ayan himself is also very kind, seeing that Tian Yanze is unscrupulously killing people in the Jiaofang Division, he is afraid that Li Zengzhi will be affected by this, so he came up with such a trick, intending to use the hand of Yang Fang, the little flag officer of the Jinyi Guard, to get rid of Tian Yanze and throw the pot far away.

Otherwise, how can you say that Jiang Ayan's brain is not very good! Although the Jinyi guards can kill people at will, they also only kill for the emperor and themselves.

The emperor doesn't talk about killing, and he doesn't want to kill people himself, so he naturally arrests them first and then tries them!

Now it's good, it's self-defeating.

Jiang Ayan knew that it was self-defeating, although his brain was not very good, but he was not brainless, of course he would not take the initiative to confess, but he was still chattering there: "Tian Yanze, this kid, he told him to stop a long time ago, he didn't listen, who is to blame?" ”

"Alright, alright! Don't talk about it! Li Zengzhi waved his hand impatiently, "You go down first!" ”

"Yes...... The subordinates retired. Jiang Ayan looked at Li Zengzhi's appearance, and didn't dare to say anything more, so he bowed down and retreated.

Walking in the study, his feet were sore, Li Zengzhi sat down, thinking that in a few days, Jinyi Wei would command Ji Gang to hold the first banquet of the year, and he could say hello to him at that time.

It's just that I'm very entangled, and I can't make up my mind whether to keep Tian Yanze's chess piece?

……

In addition to Li Zengzhi looking for Ji Gang, there is another person who is also looking for Ji Gang.

It's a woman, but not Yuerong.

This woman is still a Taoist priest;

As a Taoist priest, he looks like a monk who sees through the red dust.

It's hard to imagine, how could such a beauty see through Hongchen and become a Taoist?

On the contrary, she became a Taoist priest because she could not break through the red dust.

The beautiful Taoist priest, commonly known as Chen Wanran, met Tian Qinhe when he was traveling and had feelings, but Tian Qinhe seemed to be indifferent to her feelings, and resolutely returned to his broken Taoist temple to be his stinky Taoist priest.

It's not that Taoist priests can't marry and have children, it depends on what sect you are.

Tian Qinhe is not of any faction, so he can naturally marry a wife and have children.

Chen Wanran didn't believe that he really saw through Hongchen and was not moved by himself, so he resolutely followed him to the Taoist Temple in Kunshan, put on a Taoist robe and became his little junior sister......

Isn't Tian Qinhe going to participate in the Tao of Xuanwu? She just deliberately wanted to dangle in front of his eyes!

As mentioned earlier, Tian Qinhe is Tian Yanze, who is Huang Ze's second brother, Huang Yu.

Knowing that his younger brother was arrested, Tian Qinhe was also upset, and on this day, Chen Wanran dangled in front of him again and disturbed him to meditate on him, and he finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, and said:

"I heard that Ji Gang, the commander of the brocade guard, likes beautiful women."

Chen Wanran is a beauty, an out-and-out beauty.

Chen Wanran looked at Tian Qinhe, waiting for him to say the next sentence.

Tian Qinhe's throat rolled a few times, and finally said: "If you can bring back my fourth brother, I will take off this robe, marry you, and marry you." ”

And whether Tian Qinhe is trying to rescue his younger brother or forcing Chen Wanran away - no matter which one it is, it is all out of selfishness, even if he marries her, he is not sincere.

But Chen Wanran still went down the mountain without hesitation......

Even if you know, you are likely to have no return......

……

Tian Yanze was locked up in a cold and damp prison, and he was lucky that he was not punished on the first day.

It's approaching the end of the year, everyone is busy, and Jinyiwei is also busy! It also takes time to try a case, and even if a big case is really tried, I am afraid that it will have to wait for a year to come.

So everyone's enthusiasm is not very high.

Tian Yanze is also struggling, whether to carry it to the end and die under the punishment, or to reveal everything he knows.

Although I know that even if I show it, with my identity as an anti-party, I will still die after all, but if Li Zengzhi is unkind first, don't blame me for being unjust!

If it weren't for Li Zengzhi, he might have been punished with his clansmen a long time ago. Li Zengzhi not only took him in, but also invited the head of the sect to teach him eighteen martial arts, for this, Tian Yanze is also grateful to Dade, and has always felt that Li Dudu is a person who can achieve great things.

Follow him, and your great revenge will definitely be avenged!

But since Li Zengzhi and his brother were impeached, and then Li Jinglong was placed under house arrest, Tian Yanze became more and more unable to hold his breath.
