Chapter 15 Choice

It's three o'clock.

Chang Feng sat in front of the oil lamp. "Squeak". He heard the courtyard door open.

Chang Feng is strange: the matter is not finished yet. The two giants of the factory and the guard are not so eager to send killers to kill me, right?

He came to the courtyard.

I saw a man in a black robe and a black gauze hat enter the courtyard.

Chang Feng was just about to speak. The man in black made a silent gesture to him: "Inside." ”

Chang Feng could hear that it was Zhu Ji's voice.

Chang Feng arched his hand: "Pacify the ......"

Zhu Ji repeated: "It says." ”

The two entered the south room of the quadrangle.

Zhu Ji took off his hat and got straight to the point: "I know, Shang Ming asked you to frame the prince with a fake letter." ”

Chang Feng keenly discovered that Zhu Ji actually called the governor by his name.

Chang Feng was silent. When the master was alive, he once said to him that the method of being an errand in Jinyiwei was nothing more than the four words "talk less and listen more".

Zhu Ji said again: "You shouldn't have read the content of the planting letter. ”

"I'll tell you the content. The letter was written in the tone of the crown prince, ordering Cai Zhong to secretly collect money as military salary. It is good to buy the soldiers and horses of the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, and plot to rebel and seize the position. ”

"The person who made the fake letter is Zhang Banblind, a handwriting master in the capital, who has been wiped out by Wantong."

After speaking, Zhu Ji looked at Chang Feng.

Chang Feng said perfunctorily: "My subordinates don't know what the pacification envoy said. ”

Zhu Ji sighed: "Alas. Don't be confused. I have come tonight to save your life. ”

"I'll tell you another secret, I'm the prince's man."

"If you want to die, keep pretending to be confused. I'll leave right away. ”

After speaking, Zhu Ji got up and made a gesture to leave.

Chang Feng has no choice. He's in a mortal situation, and he needs a lifeline now.

Perhaps, Zhu Ji is the life-saving straw that can solve the dead end?

Chang Feng said: "Calm and soothe, and slow." Father-in-law Shang did give me a letter and asked me to put it in the letter box copied out by Cai's house. ”

"But I don't know who wrote the letter to whom, whether it's true or not, or what its content is."

Chang Feng still has reservations. He did not admit that he had guessed that the finger of the letter was pointed at the prince.

Zhu Ji shook his head slightly: "Chang Feng." You're still pretending to be confused. I can't save you even if I want to. You are such a smart person, can't you guess who the forged signature 'Ji Guizi' on the envelope refers to? ”

After hesitating for a moment, Chang Feng said two words: "Prince." ”

Zhu Ji said: "Hmm. Then you should know that if the conspiracy of the concubine party succeeds, the crown prince will be deposed. Shang Ming and Wantong will kill you immediately. ”

Chang Feng arched his hand: "Dare to ask the pacification envoy." How can subordinates save themselves? ”

Zhu Ji took out another letter from his sleeve: "This letter is another content - the prince reprimanded Cai Zhong for being greedy and said that he would impeach him in front of the emperor. ”

"You take this letter to Cai's mansion and exchange it for the stolen letter in the letter box."

Chang Feng asked a question slyly: "Why didn't the envoy go to Cai's Mansion by himself and change the letter?" If you go to do this, who will dare to stop you, the brothers on duty at night? ”

This is a pointed question.

Zhu Ji looked directly into Chang Feng's eyes: "Because I can't reveal my identity for the time being." To continue to lurk around Wantong and be the hidden stake that the prince planted in the concubine party. ”

"If I swagger tonight and go to Cai's mansion to exchange letters. Tomorrow, when the danger of the crown prince is resolved, Shang Gelding Dog and King Wanyan will know that I am the prince's person. ”

"I'm not afraid of death. What I'm afraid of is that the prince will lose his eyes and ears on the side of the concubine party. ”

Chang Feng said in his heart: Heh, Shang Ming and Wantong treat me as a chess piece. You Zhu Zhenfu don't treat me as a pawn?

Chang Feng asked the second question: "Zhu Zhenfu, how can I believe that you are the prince's person?" How can I be sure that you are not sent by the governor or the commander to test my faithfulness? ”

Zhu Ji took out a waist card.

The waist card is engraved with "The master of ceremonies and supervisors will be grateful for the pen, and they will not be used when they go out of Beijing".

Zhu Ji handed over the waist card to Chang Feng.

Chang Feng was surprised: "Father-in-law Huaien's waist card? ”

Zhu Ji said: "Everyone in the world knows that Father-in-law Huaien is the prince's first confidant. Tonight the situation was urgent, and Grandpa Wynne gave me his waist card. ”

"When necessary, I can show my waist card and act in his name."

"If I wasn't the Prince's person. How could Father-in-law Wynn hand over such an important thing as a pen waist card to me? ”

Chang Feng already believed eight or nine points in his heart, and it was true that Zhu Ji was the prince's person.

He then asked a third question: "You said you wanted to save me." But if I help you protect the prince tonight, Grandpa Shang and they will still kill me. ”

Zhu Ji replied: "Yes! You help them, and they will kill you; If you help the prince, they will kill you as well. ”

"The difference is. You help the prince, and Grandpa Huaien and the prince will protect you. ”

"A celebrant and a celebrant will keep you, plus the prince of the dynasty will protect you. Even if they want to move you, they have to think about three points first. ”

After speaking, Zhu Ji took back Huai'en's waist card from Chang Feng's hand: "I'll come to you tonight." I was going to do justice to you. After thinking about it, there was no need. ”

"A man full of ambition and bent on climbing up...... Righteousness is not enough for you to catch up with a butt wiping paper. ”

"I need only make it clear to you—if you don't help me, you will surely die; Help me, you still have a chance to live. ”

Chang Feng fell silent.

Zhu Ji tempted him to make heavy profits: "You do what I say, you protect the prince tonight, you are not only my benefactor, but also the prince's benefactor!" ”

"When the emperor is a hundred years old, the crown prince successfully ascended the throne. Do you need to talk about your future? ”

"Liu Fantai of Beizhili, I'm afraid he will beg to marry his daughter to you. If you don't want to, he'll even strip her naked and shove her on your bed. ”

"In a person's life, there are always several crossroads. If you choose the right path, you have a bright future. If you choose the wrong path, you will fall into a bottomless abyss. ”

"Young man, you have to make a choice tonight."

Chang Feng first smiled bitterly: "Do I still have a choice?" ”

Then he knelt down in front of Zhu Ji and clasped his fists with both hands: "My subordinates are willing to serve the prince." ”

Zhu Ji handed him the letter on the table: "You go and drop the two letters." I'll just sit here and wait for you. ”

Chang Feng took the letter and asked Zhu Ji the last question: "Zhu Zhen Fu envoy." You're in a high position. Why do you want to serve the Prince? ”

"You know, the crown prince lurks beside our 'Sullen Yama' commander. Once the identity is revealed, there is a risk of life. ”

Zhu Ji smiled slightly, and gave a deafening answer: "Why? ”

"For Haoran righteousness!"

"To sweep away evil spirits!"

"For the lives of the Lebanese people!"

Chang Feng was stunned: "Understood, pacifying the envoy." The subordinates will do it. ”

Zhu Ji told him: "Ride the horse at the door, you can go faster." That horse wasn't the 'red' horse I used to ride. Others don't recognize it. ”

Chang Feng got out of the yard, rode Zhu Ji's horse, and went straight to Cai's mansion.

Two quarters of an hour later, when he came to the door of Cai's mansion. I saw torches flashing inside and outside Cai's mansion.

The soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division turned into a pot of porridge and shouted, "There are snitches!" Take the thief! ”

Chang Feng dismounted and asked a soldier, "What's the matter?" ”

The soldier replied, "There was a snitch in the front yard!" It looks like something was stolen. ”
