Chapter 29: The Cold-Blooded Zhu Ji
The darkness before dawn is often silent and eerie.
In this darkness, there is no light to be seen. Just like the Chenghua Dynasty where demons are rampant in temples and the people are not living.
Chang Feng walked out of the old mansion with the letter box in his hand.
He looked up at the dark sky and thought: Perhaps, the prince can become the light that tears the dark court apart.
Everything I did tonight was not only to save my own life, but also to the world!
Thinking of this, Chang Feng felt a sense of pride.
This kind of pride cannot be given for the sake of promotion and selfish desire to climb up.
Fat Xu walked over: "Got it?" ”
There was only a moment left until dawn. Fortunately, Cai's Mansion and Ge Lao's Mansion are both in Beicheng, not far from each other.
It should be in time.
Chang Feng instructed Xu Fatzi: "Our soldiers are divided into two ways." I took the box and the tiger and went to Cai's house. ”
"You hurry back to my house and tell Zhu Zhen that the matter has been done!"
Xu Fatzi said: "Gotcha! ”
The two broke up.
The laundered letter and the planted letter have been dropped. Chang Feng returned to Cai's Mansion with the box.
Captain Shi greeted him: "General Banner, have you found it?" ”
Chang Feng bowed slightly.
Captain Shi said: "The general flag is really unfathomable, unfathomable!" ”
Chang Feng placed the letter box on a silver box.
When I dropped the bag just now, I tore off the seal of the letter box.
It's not a big deal. When Jin Yiwei went to any criminal official's mansion to raid his house, he would carry a large number of seals.
Next to the silver box was a rucksack, which was full of seals.
The moment Chang Feng sealed the letter box with a new seal, the light of the morning sun tore through the darkness and illuminated the earth.
It's dawn.
Chang Feng said to the ten lieutenants and wrestlers on duty at night: "Everyone, if the theft of the letter box leaks out, our heads will be moved." ”
"If we want to live, we have to keep our mouths shut."
Captain Shi took the lead and chimed in: "Listen to the general flag, for our heads." ”
A group of captains and wrestlers bowed their hands in unison: "Yes!" ”
Chang Feng sat on a silver box. He was really tired from this night's tossing.
Now, it is only necessary to wait for the three elders of the cabinet to come and hand over the handover.
Chang Feng's brain is very messy. He envisioned a bunch of endings.
Perhaps, the governor and the commander will realize that I am a troublemaker, and they will secretly cut me and throw me into a mass grave in the southern suburbs.
Perhaps, the prince's side will fulfill his promise and keep me. I attached myself to the crown prince, and I had a bright future and married Xiaoyan.
Or perhaps, whether it is Huai En or Zhu Ji, they all treat me as a dispensable chess piece. If it is dispensable, there is no need to protect it.
That's it, the personnel are exhausted, let it be the fate of heaven!
The early dynasty of the imperial gate, also known as the imperial gate to listen to the government. It is a ritual that the Ming Emperor and officials have to carry out every day.
Hundreds of officials crossed the Jinshui Bridge, lined up according to the civil and military squads, and came to Fengtianmen.
Only officials above the fourth rank of the Ming Dynasty could report government affairs to the emperor in the early days of the imperial gate.
The emperor asks questions and promulgates decrees.
Today, in the early dynasty of the Imperial Gate, Emperor Chenghua's last will was to send the three elders of the cabinet to Cai Zhong's mansion to hand over the confiscated property and letters.
After the three cabinets of the cabinet were scattered, they went straight to Cai Zhong's mansion.
The good eunuch Huai En secretly went out of the palace and had a secret meeting with Zhu Ji in a restaurant.
The fat Wynne sat down at a table in the restaurant's private room.
This private room has been contracted by him for a long time, and it is the fixed joint location between him and Zhu Ji.
In the private room, there will soon be a conversation about Chang Feng's life and death.
Not long after, Zhu Ji was dressed in cloth and sat in front of Huai En with a hat.
Wynne asked, "Is it done?" ”
Zhu Ji replied: "It's done." It's just a little bit wrong. ”
As circumstantial evidence, Xu Fatzi had already told Zhu Ji about tonight's events in detail.
Zhu Ji relayed the ins and outs of the matter to Huaien.
Wynne said: "It's really dangerous. ”
Zhu Ji poured a cup of tea for Huaien: "The general flag is often the wind, and it is more appropriate to cut it secretly." ”
"He already knows who I am, and he is the person who handles the letters. Keeping it is a hindrance. ”
What a Zhu Ji! Chang Feng helped him so much tonight, but he wanted revenge and killed people!
Chang Feng in Cai's mansion imagined so many endings, but he didn't expect that the person who wanted to kill him was Zhu Ji!
Zhu Ji is a cold-blooded person. The errand he had done decided that he could not have the kindness of a woman, and he had to be decisive.
The wind is constant, and life hangs by a thread.
Fortunately, Zhu Ji's head is the benevolent Fat Huaien.
Wynne's face changed: "You must not secretly cut that offspring!" Not only can't we cut secretly, but we also have to protect it! ”
Zhu Ji reminded Huaien: "Father-in-law, he knows too many secrets tonight. ”
Huai En said with a straight face: "But he helped the prince tonight!" After helping the prince, we abandoned it like a shoe. Who will be willing to be used by the prince in the future? ”
"If we act so ruthlessly and cold-bloodedly, what is the difference between us and Shang Ming, Wantong and the like?"
"That's not how to be human! Doing things, and not doing it that way! ”
Although Wynne is a rootless person, there is a strong righteousness in him.
Zhu Ji was silent for a while, and then said, "It's good to keep Changfeng." From tonight's events, it can be seen that this kid is capable. ”
"If it can be used by me in the future, it can be regarded as adding a powerful chess piece to the prince."
Wynn corrected Zhu Ji: "That's a living person!" Not a pawn. ”
"Whoever is brave and loyal to the prince is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty."
"We must treat our loyal ministers with honesty and kindness. If you can guarantee it, you can protect it. ”
Zhu Ji was a little worried: "But I'm afraid it's a little difficult to protect him." Today, the three pavilion veterans handed over the letter box and brought it to the palace, and the concubine party found out that the letter was dropped, and they would definitely blame Chang Feng. ”
"It is inevitable that Chang Feng will be arrested and punished."
Wynne said, "I can't help it. I can only make one deal with Shang Ming. Exchange a chip for that afterlife. That's it, I'll go back to the palace first. ”
Let's talk about Cai's side. It's already three poles in the sun.
Chang Feng had already changed into a flying fish suit and sat on the silver box with his eyes closed.
Captain Shi ran over: "General Banner, the front rider who opened the road has already come." The three elders arrived in a moment. ”
Chang Feng got up and tidied up his clothes: "Let's go, go to the gate of the mansion and greet the elders." ”
Not long after, three blue tweed eight-carrying sedan chairs stopped in front of Cai's house.
The three civil officials with the highest status in the Ming Dynasty each stepped off the official sedan chair.
The leader is the "Long Live Pavilion Elder" Wan An. He has a round face and a long beard. There is always a smile on his face.
Although he is connected with Wan Guifei's family, he is not a member of the Guifei Party, and he is only a hypocritical and wrongful person to the Guifei Party.
Wan Shoufu is a person who can lie flat and touch fish. It's too late to hide.
He knew that joining the concubine party was tantamount to falling into the whirlpool of seizing the heir.
He's not going to get into that trouble. Over the years, he has always treated the concubine party with a smile on the surface, and he doesn't help with anything.
The second place is Liu Ji, the second assistant "Cotton Pavilion Elder". He was thin and beautiful.
But his cheek was thick enough to block the guns shot out of the Divine Campfire.
In dealing with the matter of seizing the heir, he has the same attitude as Wan Shoufu.
What a dangerous and troublesome thing to take the heir, I don't want to participate in it! During the day, I was on duty in the cabinet to drink tea, talk and laugh, go back to the house to drink at night, and sleep with a prostitute in my arms.
The third place is the pavilion elder Liu Jue who Chang Feng saw before dawn.
The three elders of the cabinet are actually not Wan Guifei's people.
Chang Feng knelt down and kowtowed: "Chang Feng, the general banner of the Fusi of Weibei Town, Xiaguan Jinyi, meet the three elders!" ”
