People have weaknesses, and officials are also people.

Jin Yiwei is good at grasping the weakness of officials and coercing them.

Son Zhao Ruihu is Zhao Xiangfo's weakness.

Chang Feng ordered someone to send Zhao Ruihu to his duty room first. He was waiting for Zhao Xiangfo in the inspection of thousands of households.

After escorting Zhao Ruihu away, Chang Feng said to Xu Fatzi: "Let's see Zhao Xiangfo here in a while, it seems that there is something shortcoming." ”

Xu Fatzi asked, "What's missing?" Flails, chains, or torture instruments? I'll fetch it. ”

Chang Feng shook his head slightly: "Neither." There are blood stains on the ground. ”

Xu Fatzi was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

Chang Feng asked: "Is there a heinous ruffian who kills his mother and father in the edict?" ”

Xu Fatzi replied: "Yes." That miscellaneous should have been imprisoned in the Shuntianfu prison. When the emperor heard about this case, he was so angry that he fell out of bronze, and he was fortunate enough to be imprisoned. ”

Chang Feng nodded: "Whoever kills his father and mother will be destroyed." We can't overstate how much Jinyiwei tosses him. ”

"You go to the edict and give him some blood. Just put two tea cups, don't bleed him to death. It's going to be late in a few days. ”

Fat Xu asked, "Master Chang, what do you want that beast's dirty blood for?" ”

Chang Feng said: "You don't have to worry about this, just go and get it." ”

Xu Fatzi took the order and left. After a few pillars of incense, he walked to Chang Feng with a small copper basin in his hand.

Chang Feng asked: "Why did you put so much?" You didn't let him die, did you? ”

Xu Fatzi replied: "Don't worry, I'm not dead, I just fainted." ”

Chang Feng took the small copper basin and splashed the blood on the ground.

The lobby of the Thousand Households was immediately filled with blood.

Xu Fatzi asked, "Master Chang, what are you going to do?" A good bluestone slab is splashed with blood, and it will take a lot of effort to clean up the wrestlers who sweep it tomorrow morning! ”

Chang Feng said with a smile: "When Zhao Xiangfo comes, you will naturally know." ”

Not long after, Zhao Xiangfo came to the lobby.

Zhao Xiangfo keenly found that the ten wrestlers standing on both sides of the lobby had scorpion crossbows hanging from their waists. Their eyes were fixed on him.

Zhao Xiangfo pretended to look at Chang Feng calmly: "Chang Ye, you called me late at night to expose the killing of the two Warat Hidden Piles, right?" ”

When he said this, Zhao Xiangfo rubbed his nose. He smelled a strong smell of blood. When I looked down, I saw a large pool of blood under my feet.

Chang Fengfeng said lightly: "I just cut off three fingers of your son Zhao Ruihu." ”

Zhao Xiangfo's face changed, and he didn't have the calm look just now: "Chang Feng, I'll your mother!" Why did you cut off Tiggo's fingers? ”

"I dare to touch my son, me."

Zhao Xiangfo made a gesture to pull out the embroidered spring knife on his waist. Ten wrestlers raised their scorpion crossbows and surrounded him.

As soon as he draws his knife, he will be shot into a hedgehog immediately.

Chang Feng said: "Senior Zhao, don't be impulsive. ”

Xu Fatzi stepped forward and took off the embroidered spring knife on Zhao Xiangfo's waist.

Zhao Xiangfo was furious: "Chang Feng, Lao Tzu has been born and died for Jinyiwei for so many years. But you will kill my queen? ”

"If I knew this was the case, I should have found a way to kill you when you were the general flag!"

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "I didn't kill you." Zhao Ruihu eats inside and out, so I naturally want to chop his fingers. ”

"You don't know yet. He colluded with the eunuch Li Guang and the foreign minister Liu Zhang to frame Li Dongyang and Xie Qian. ”

"What's it to chop off his fingers? Tomorrow I will disembowel him in front of the brothers in the school yard to see what kind of heart he has had! ”

Chang Feng's expression was relaxed when he said this, and his tone was flat.

Xu Fatzi's scalp tingled when he heard it: Disemboweling? Chang Feng, this kid is getting more and more cruel now.

Zhao Xiangfo said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, when did he collude with Li Guang and Liu Zhang?" ”

Chang Feng smiled: "He confessed when he cut off his third finger." Li Dongyang and Xie Qian's two fictitious fake files were put into the private file box by him. ”

"The murder attempt of Gao Wenze, the old soup in the tea room, was also instructed by him. The old soup was also killed by him. ”

"He said that everything has nothing to do with his father and you. He did it all alone. ”

Zhao Xiangfo was stunned. The son is his life. He took refuge in Li Guang and tried to get a high position, in addition to the resentment of not being promoted, another part of the reason was to seek a good future for his son.

Chang Feng said: "The son is the son, and the father is the father." If my son makes a mistake, I won't hold me accountable. ”

"Tomorrow, I will disembowel him and warn him that after the robe of the guard, you can continue to be your Nansi Qianhu."

Zhao Xiangfo closed his eyes and said in despair: "Don't kill him." Colluding with Li Guang and Liu Zhang, framing Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, were all done by me. ”

"He's just listening to me, running errands, and spreading the word."

Chang Feng ordered in a loud voice: "Record for 100 households, open the pen!" ”

"Zhao Xiangfo, do you admit that the two fake files of Li and Xie were brought into the stall by you?"

Zhao Xiangfo replied truthfully: "I brought it into the stall in the name of adding my name to the dark pile roster." ”

"When I stuffed a fake file into the two-person file box, I was bumped into by Gao Wenze, and I became murderous. instructed the old soup in the teahouse to send him poisoned tea. ”

"After the attempted poisoning, I extinguished the old soup and threw it in a mass grave in the south of the city."

"I did everything. It has nothing to do with Tiggo. Kill me if you want to. ”

Chang Feng asked, "Why did you betray Jinyiwei?" When you were in the Uszang Snow Mountain, you almost lost your life many times, but you didn't take refuge in those Snow Mountain Dharma Kings. ”

Zhao Xiangfo's dissatisfaction for nine years broke out in an instant: "Why do you say? ”

"In terms of qualifications, you, Qian Ning, and Shi Wenyi, which one can catch up with me?"

"Now all three of you are my bosses."

"My former peers Sun Guishou and Wang Miaoxin have also become my bosses."

"Even the former subordinates, Shen Zhou, who can only paint portraits, Daoist Zhang, who can only be drunk, and Xu Fatzi, who can only prostitute girls, are now on an equal footing with me!"

Xu Fatzi smiled awkwardly: "Master Zhao, don't hit people in the face, and expose people without revealing shortcomings." ”

Zhao Xiangfo didn't pay attention to Xu Fatzi, but yelled at Chang Feng: "You treat me unkindly, of course I want to be unjust!" ”

Chang Feng sighed: "It's my fault that you can't be promoted." ”

"I am now in charge of the Jinyi Guard as Zuo Tongzhi, and if the official achieves this point, it is inevitable that he will favor one over the other."

"The robes are my brothers. There are only a few official positions. If you treat this well, you will treat that badly. ”

"I thought you were a believer in Buddhism and wouldn't care about your official position."

Zhao Xiangfo said angrily: "Who comes out to be an official, who doesn't want to be promoted?" Don't you want to be promoted? ”

Chang Feng is stopped. The second fool of the turtle grandson doesn't want to be promoted.

Zhao Xiangfu said: "I recognize everything I have done." I beg you to spare my son for the sake of my years of deeds and blood. ”

Chang Feng nodded: "Cheng." I'll let him go. Is the confession record complete? ”

Recorded for 100 households to answer: "It has been recorded." ”

Chang Feng said: "Senior Zhao, you sign and stamp your handprint." ”

Zhao Xiangfo signed the confession and stamped his handprint.

With the fingerprints stamped on the confession, the complete clearing of charges for Li Dongyang and Xie Qian has been completed.

The question now is how to deal with this matter in a low-key manner. can not only protect the virtuous ministers, but also do not need to pursue Li Guang and Liu Zhang on the surface.

Zhao Xiangfo said: "Chang Feng, if you want to delay me, disembowel me, and even give me a bamboo punishment, I don't have a word." ”

"But spare my son. Also, where is the severed finger? Doctor Wang of Bian Que Lane will reconnect his fingers. ”

Reconnecting a severed finger is not something that can only be done by modern medicine.

In the Ming Dynasty book "Ear Talk", such an incident was recorded.

Huangpi Baihu Jiang Wei was ordered to escort the silver money into Beijing. In winter, when he passed through Zhending Mansion, he was met by robbers and cut off two fingers.

The doctor of Zhending Mansion can only do simple bandaging.

But the doctor told him that there was a doctor in the capital who would reconnect his severed fingers.

He endured the pain and went to the capital, and after handing over the money, he found the famous doctor.

The famous doctor butted the severed finger on top of the broken finger, smeared ice brain, musk and other medicinal materials, and then fixed it with a thin splint.

Twenty-one days later, after removing the thin splint, Jiang Wei found that the broken finger was worked, and only a red line was left at the interface.

In a word, Chinese medicine is broad and profound.

Think about the old Yongxiang Wan'an, who was powerless at the beginning. Ni Jinxian used a recipe to help him wash the birds, and he could turn from an earthworm into a living dragon.

Straight to the point.

Zhao Xiangfo asked Chang Feng for a broken finger.

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "Come on, bring Zhao Ruihu up." ”

After a while, Zhao Ruihu was taken to the lobby.

Zhao Xiangfo looked at his son's hands, both hands were intact, where were three fingers cut?

Zhao asked Chang Feng to the Buddha: "You trick me?" ”

Chang Feng sighed: "I can't bear to torture an old-timer who has made great contributions, and I can't bear to hurt his son." ”

"I can't help it, I can only fool you."

Zhao Xiangfo did not scold Chang Feng, but arched his hand and said: "Thank you!" What are you going to do with me? ”

Chang Feng said: "Jin Yiwei has always been disloyal once, and he will not use it a hundred times. You colluded with outsiders, and Wei Li can't keep you. ”

"So be it. I have a good relationship with Shi Wenzhong, the governor of the Left Army, and Ma Wensheng, the former secretary of the military department. ”

"I will ask them to jointly hand over a letter to the Ministry of War, guaranteeing that you will be transferred to the Datong Border Army and become a commander of the border army."

"Although the status of the border army is far inferior to that of Jinyiwei, it can be regarded as a promotion for you."

Zhao Xiangfo was dumbfounded: "You won't kill me?" ”

Chang Feng said: "I can't leave you in Jinyiwei anymore, but I won't kill you either." ”

"To be honest, I show mercy to your men, not just for the sake of your past achievements. It's also for myself. ”

"If I kill an old flying fish who has made great achievements, the brothers in Pao Ze will be cold."

"When you are the big shopkeeper, you are most taboo to chill the hearts of the people below."

Zhao Xiangfo said: "However, if you don't treat my sins on the surface, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian's grievances will not be washed away." ”

"How are you going to explain those two secret documents to the government and the opposition?"

Chang Feng said: "You don't have to worry about this. I have my own way. ”

Zhao Xiangfo bowed his hand towards Chang Feng and made a deep bow: "Chang Ye, I owe you once." If you have the opportunity in the future, you will repay it. ”

Chang Feng said: "Your father and son will go to the Nansi duty room to rest first." Before tomorrow morning, you must not leave the Jinyi Guard for half a step. ”

After the father and son of the Zhao family left, Xu Fatzi said meaningfully: "Ci is not in charge of the army, and righteousness is not wealthy." Master Chang, you are letting the tiger return to the mountain. ”

Chang Feng said with a smile: "I only heard that most of the mother-in-law and aunts in Yihong Mansion are the majority, but I haven't heard that there are Yangzhou thin horses!" ”

"Which little thin horse did Xu Ye learn from a literate, hyphenation recently, and he jumped out in four words and four words when he spoke?"

Fat Xu was a little anxious: "Master Chang, when has this been, do you still have the heart to joke?" ”

"In two and a half hours, it will be early. If you don't blame Zhao Xiangfo, you can't explain how the fake private file appeared in the stall. ”

Chang Feng said: "Fatty, don't worry. Let's see me set up a table for the Hongmen feast. No, it should be called a mud feast. ”

In the second half of the night, the third watch, Yihong Building.

A table of wine was set up in the private room of Yihong Mansion.

Chang Feng sat at the wine table and took a nap.

Not long after, Li Guang and Liu Zhang entered the private room under the guidance of Xu Fatzi.

Both were sleepy-eyed.

In the middle of the night, it is not so easy to invite a celebrant to write and a winter official of the Ministry of Industry to come to Fireworks Willow Lane.

Xu Fatzi showed them copies of Liu Ping and Zhao Xiangfo's confessions. The two of them came reluctantly.

Chang Feng opened his eyes. Li Guang scolded: "Invite a rootless person to come to Qinglou." You can figure it out! ”

"What, you're going to ask me to prostitute a girl? I don't have that house! ”

Chang Feng smiled and arched his hand towards Li Guangyi: "Father-in-law Li is not strange." You said it was midnight. The restaurants in the capital are closed. ”

"Only a place like Yihong Mansion can still hold a banquet."

When he said this, Chang Feng glanced at Liu Zhang. I saw Liu Zhang's face showing a weak heart.

Chang Feng said: "Please take a seat." Fatty, you go out first. ”

In the private room, only Chang Feng, Li Guang, and Liu Zhang remained.

A three-person rivalry begins.

Chang Feng said with a smile: "Two, you have all read the copies of Liu Ping and Zhao Xiangfo's confessions. ”

"You are not clever in your methods. To be honest, if you want to talk about planting, it depends on our Jinyiwei. Hey, our."

Li Guangyi slapped the table: "Chang Feng, don't take off your pants and fart!" The two of us now have a handle in your hands. Say, what do you want? ”

Liu Zhang trembled and said: "Liu Ping is talking nonsense. Zhao Xiangfo also talked nonsense. We don't recognize those two confessions. ”

Chang Feng said: "Okay! Tomorrow morning, I will make the two confessions public. Let the officials judge the authenticity of the confession! ”

Liu Zhang hurriedly said, "Don't say goodbye." ”

Li Guang also softened his tone, close to Chang Fengtao: "Chang Feng, if you want to talk about it, we are both the queen's mothers." Why are we tearing our faces? ”

"In this battle, no matter which of us loses, we will lose the face of the queen!"

"Smack!" Chang Feng clapped his hands, which startled Li Guang and Liu Zhang.

Chang Feng said: "Gonggong Li's words are incisive! That's what I thought! We are both queens, just like half-brothers! ”

"For the sake of Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, those two bastards and rotten their faces, it's really a bit unnecessary!"

Li Guang showed a smile on his face: "He is worthy of being a celebrity around the emperor." To see things is to be transparent. ”

Chang Feng changed his words: "However, the emperor asked me to protect Li Dongyang and Xie Qian." This is the Emperor's mandate. ”

"Let's tell the two of you, the emperor is determined to let those two bastards enter the cabinet. It's hard to disobey the emperor's order. ”

Li Guangdao: "If you want to protect them, you have to check us!" Or tear your face with us! ”

Chang Feng drank a glass of wine and spoke unhurriedly, showing his wrist.

Chang Feng said: "Liu Butang." You're seventy-one, aren't you? Isn't it good for people in their old age to go home and recuperate? ”

"In my opinion, you are sick first and avoid the limelight of the cabinet dispute. After a year and a half, how about you hand the emperor a formal letter to the emperor? ”

Liu Zhang was surprised: "You want me to resign?" ”

Chang Feng restrained his smile and said, "Someone must pay some price for this case!" I've left you decency, and it's up to you to decide if you want it! ”

Li Guang and Liu Zhang glanced at each other.

Liu Zhang gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll resign." ”

According to the "Record of Filial Piety", in the eighth year of Hongzhi, Liu Zhang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was sick. In the ninth year of Hongzhi, Zhang Zhishi.

Chang Feng said again: "Gonggong Li, the imperial historian Sun Chunbin who went to the excerpt of Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, I know it's your person." ”

"After we're done drinking, you go to him. Let him change his words in the early dynasty, and tell the ministers that there is no record of them colluding with Shang Ming in Li and Xie's private files. ”

"In addition, you asked him to tell the ministers that after a day of investigation, he found that Li Dongyang and Xie Qian were both virtuous ministers with noble bones."

Li Guangdao: "As an imperial history, if he was exposed in the early dynasty, his career would be over." ”

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "It's better to lose your career than to lose your life." He's just a little guy, a pawn on a chessboard. ”

"There's no need to cause infighting among the queen's mothers for the sake of a chess piece's career and hurt our brother's feelings."

Li Guang pondered for a long time: "Okay." I promise you. What is the explanation of the jade horse? You can't let me admit in front of the officials that I asked Liu Ping to find someone to carve the jade horse. ”

Chang Feng smiled: "It's simpler. The little eunuchs under your command have three thousand, if not five thousand. Just find a substitute for the dead. ”

"Let's just say that he hates Liu Jin. I heard about Sun Chunbin's impeachment again. So he immediately went out of the palace and bought a jade horse, and let people engrave that line of words. ”

"The purpose is to frame Liu Jin for stealing the treasures in the palace. You learned of the little eunuch's treacherous plan and went to arrest him, but the little eunuch took the lead and committed suicide. ”

Li Guangdao: "This lie you made up is full of loopholes. Can all senses be believed? ”

Chang Feng said: "It doesn't matter if the officials believe it or not. As long as the two of you stop attacking Li Dongyang and Xie Qian. The emperor will not delve into it. ”

Li Guang proposed: "We can all do what you say. But Liu Ping and Zhao Xiangfo's confessions were original, you have to burn them! ”

The confessions of Liu and Zhao are ironclad evidence that Li Guang planted the important ministers. Staying in Chang Feng's hands for a day, Li Guang had a handle that was pinched by Chang Feng.

Chang Feng took out two pieces of paper from his sleeve and put them directly on the candle flame to ignite them. A moment later it was ashes.

Li Guanghu looked at Chang Feng suspiciously: "Is this the original confession?" Don't fool us with two blank sheets of paper! ”

Chang Feng covered his chest with his left hand, and pointed to the sky with his right hand: "Heaven and earth conscience!" This is indeed the original confession! If I tell a lie, I will let the thunder of heaven smash my father's grave! ”

Sure enough, he is a big filial son.

Li Guang sneered: "Heh, whether it was the original confession or not, only God knows!" ”

What Chang Feng burned was only two blank pieces of paper. He also knew that Li Guang would not believe it.

As long as the two confessions are not made public, they will be held in his hands. He clutched Li Guang's pigtails.

Not only does not tear his face, but he can also hold the pigtail of the celebrant and the celebrant Bingpen, why not?

Li Guang raised his glass: "Chang Feng, I admit that I can't fight you!" I can figure out why you can go from a little-known general flag to the big shopkeeper of Jinyiwei in just ten years. ”

Chang Feng smiled: "Don't say that. What do you not fight, the three of us are brothers! It's too late, why fight? ”

Li Guang and Liu Zhang smiled awkwardly: "Yes, we are all brothers." ”

Fat Xu at the door heard laughter coming from the private room.

"Second brother, third brother."

"Big brother, third brother."

"Big brother, second brother."

"Ahaha!"
