De'an, Dekui, and Debing were woken up by cold water and cried non-stop.

Chang Feng said angrily: "If you don't tell the truth, I will not only break your ass, but also break your legs!" ”

Dean cried, "My lord, we really don't know what you're talking about! I haven't done anything other than playing the little husband for Sister Cuiniang! ”

Dekui had just been woken up by the splash, and he was frightened by Chang Feng and fainted.

De Bing swore a curse: "If we touch His Highness's small seal, let God thunder and kill us!" ”

Chang Feng judged that these three teenagers were not stealing small seals.

He instructed Basha: "Take the three of them down." Let the royal physician heal their wounds. ”

Only the last person left uninterrogated. King Xing's most trusted eunuch, the palace steward's brand, Ma Youlu.

Ma Youlu, who was in his fifties, walked in.

Ma Youlu has the same name as the head of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, but they are not the same person.

Ma Youlu is very senior among the eunuchs in the palace. When Wang Zhi was in power, he took a fancy to him. In the ninth year of Chenghua, he was exiled to Shaanxi and Gansu and served as a town guard eunuch.

In the twelfth year of Chenghua, Zhu Youqi was born. The celebrant selected a big companion for Zhu Youqi.

coincided with Ma Youlu's return to Beijing, and by chance, he was selected to be Zhu Youqi's big companion.

He has been serving the king of Xing for more than 20 years.

As soon as he entered the hall, he asked Chang Feng: "Which turtle king bastard dares to frame His Highness for rebellion?" ”

Chang Feng asked rhetorically: "Gonggong Ma, how do you know that King Xing was framed?" ”

Ma Youlu said angrily: "I have been a messenger for so many years, and I have connections in the palace!" ”

"His Royal Highness accompanies the emperor to go out hunting. Didn't return in the evening. The princess sent me into the palace to inquire, only to find out that Her Royal Highness had been framed! ”

Chang Feng took it to heart and began to set Ma Youlu's words: "How can Ma Gonggong determine that it is a false accusation, not "

Ma Youlu immediately interrupted Chang Feng: "The surname is Chang, do you doubt that His Highness really rebelled?" ”

"I'm going to tear my mouth apart! Don't look at how favored you have been over the years, you can slander the prince of the Ming Dynasty out of thin air! ”

Chang Feng hurriedly said: "Father-in-law Ma is a little restless. ”

Ma Youlu had a hot temper, pointed at Chang Feng and scolded: "I'll go to your mother's Gobi!" You will not arrest the person who framed His Highness. On the contrary, he questioned King Xing's loyalty to the emperor here. How can I be at ease? ”

Chang Feng could see that Ma Youlu was really angry. The veins of his temples had flare.

Chang Feng said: "Grandpa Ma, that's the case. Someone stole His Highness's small seal. Forged a transfer order. ”

"In the past two days, there are only eight people who can come into contact with His Highness's small seal. The suspicion of seven of them has been ruled out. ”

"There's only one left."

Ma Youlu was stunned: "Are you suspicious of me?" ”

Chang Feng said: "Don't worry about Grandpa Ma. I'm doing a routine checkout. This is also to clear His Highness's grievances earlier. ”

Ma Youlu was emotionally out of control: "I have taken care of His Highness's diet and daily life since I was thirty years old. It's been twenty-three years since this year! ”

"How could I betray Your Highness?"

"It's not me boasting! In the seventh year of Hongzhi, the emperor wanted me to enter the celebrant eunuch. But I am willing to go to Anlu Prefecture with His Royal Highness to become a vassal and become a palace steward with no real power! ”

"For the sake of His Highness, I don't want a high position!"

For some people, you can greet his ancestors for eight generations, but you can't question his loyalty.

Ma Youlu is such a person. He suffers from severe bipolar disorder.

Suddenly, Ma Youlu snatched the waist knife from Basha's waist, held the handle of the knife with both hands, and aimed the tip of the knife at his chest.

Ma Youlu said: "In order to help you quickly eliminate innocent people and find out the bastard who betrayed King Xing." I am willing to die to prove my innocence! ”

Chang Feng shouted: "Gonggong Ma don't want it!" ”

Ma Youlu slammed his might. Stick the tip of the knife towards your chest.

Between the lightning and flint, Basha reached out and grabbed the blade with his hand.

In an instant, blood flowed from Basha's hands.

Xu Fatzi reacted, stepped forward and snatched the knife from Ma Youlu's hand: "Father-in-law Ma, why are you bothering!" ”

Chang Feng also said: "Grandpa Ma, I'm just asking as usual." I didn't doubt you in the slightest. ”

said this, but Chang Feng secretly said in his heart: How can this Ma Youlu be the same as having a sick brain? How can such a madman be by his side every day?

Chang Feng wasted his tongue and finally appeased Ma Youlu. Let him leave the hall.

Chang Feng asked Basha, the clansman of the Ninth Lady: "Lao Ba, are you okay?" ”

Basha tore a piece of cloth from the hem of the soap suit and bandaged the wound: "Flesh wounds, out of the way." Master Chang, I don't think Ma Youlu is like a person who steals small seals. ”

Chang Feng asked, "Oh? How so? ”

Basha replied: "He just stabbed himself with a knife with great force, and it was the force of death. ”

Xu Fatzi interjected: "That's weird. There are only a few people who can touch Xiaoyin. You've ruled them all out. ”

"Could it be that Xiaoyin grew wings and flew to that forged troop transfer order?"

Chang Feng said: "All excluded? That's right. There are eight people in total, and we only exclude six people! ”

Xu Fatzi was surprised: "You shouldn't suspect the princess and Lu Song, right?" They are our own family members! ”

Chang Feng lowered his voice: "Is Zhao Xiangfo Jinyiwei's own family?" ”

Xu Fatzi was speechless.

Chang Feng said: "Go and invite the princess and Lu Dian to come over." ”

After a short time, Concubine Jiang and Lu Song entered the hall.

Concubine Jiang asked: "Find out who colluded with outsiders to frame His Highness?" ”

Chang Feng shook his head slightly: "Those six people, almost all of them can rule out suspicion." ”

Concubine Jiang was surprised: "Huh? But there are only six of them who can touch Xiaoyin. ”

Lu Song heard the clue from Chang Feng's voice. He reminded Concubine Jiang: "Princess, there are two more. You and your subordinates. ”

Concubine Jiang frowned: "Chang Tongzhi, according to the seniority of Jinyiwei, I should call you Brother Chang." Do you doubt me and Lu Song? ”

Chang Feng did not speak. He disobeyed and looked directly into Concubine Jiang's eyes.

After a moment, he turned his head to look at Lu Song again.

Chang Feng's eyes seemed to say: There are only two suspects left. Who the hell is, you can recruit it yourself.

Chang Feng suddenly noticed that Lu Song's eyes were dodging.

He smiled at Lu Song: "Lu Dianzhan, you have something to hide from me!" ”

Lu Song's head broke out with sweat.

Xu Fatzi shouted: "Bold! At the beginning, Chang Ye chose you to come to Xing Wangye's side to protect Xing Wangye! ”

"You actually eat inside and out, and collude with outsiders to frame Prince Xing!"

"You're doing something inside! According to the family rules of Jinyiwei, it should be high on the bamboo punishment! ”

Lu Song knelt on the ground with a "poof": "I have something to hide from the princess and the officials." ”

"Your Highness won't let me spread the word about this matter!"

"Actually, there is one more person who can touch Xiaoyin!"

Chang Feng asked, "Who?" ”

Lu Song said: "Please ask the princess and Xu Shizi, Qian Baishi, Shizhen Fu Envoy, and Ba Baihu to avoid." I can only say it to Chang Ye alone. ”

Xu Fatzi said: "Do you want to trick us into going out and assassinating Chang Ye?" ”

Lu Song smiled bitterly: "This matter involves the unspeakable hidden nature of His Highness!" I can't hide His Highness's unspeakable things from the public! ”

Chang Feng sat on the chair at the head of the hall and placed the scorpion crossbow that Ma Wensheng gave him that could fire three arrows in a row on the table next to him.

Chang Feng said: "You go down first." Don't worry, he can't eat me. ”

Changfeng is twenty steps away from Lu Song.

If Lu Song really wanted to assassinate Chang Feng, at such a long distance, he would be shot to death by the scorpion crossbow before he could get his hands on it.

Concubine Jiang said: "Let's go, let's go down first." ”

After everyone left, Chang Feng said, "Lu Song, let's talk about it." Your Highness has something unspeakable. Who is the ninth person who has access to the small seal? ”

Lu Song replied: "A forty-year-old woman. ”

Lu Song tells a poignant love story.

In the last years of Chenghua, the fourth son of the first emperor, Zhu Youqi, was named the king of Xing.

The Empress Dowager Zhou personally selected a group of palace maids to serve Zhu Youqi.

Among them is a palace maid, twenty-nine years old, named Lin Paner.

After two years, King Xing has become a teenager. Youth is ignorant, and blood is strong.

He inherited the glorious tradition of his father, Emperor Chenghua. fell in love with Lin Paner, a woman seventeen years older than herself.

Late one night, he tricked Lin Paner into going to a secluded place to use force, Lin Paner half-pushed, and the two tried secretly. One became a real woman, and the other became a real man.

In the seventh year of Hongzhi, King Xing chose a concubine. Thirty-six-year-old Lin Paner naturally can't enter the candidate list, and she can't be the titular woman of His Royal Highness King Xing.

After King Xing's wedding, he went to Luzhou.

Lin Paner is not worthy of accompanying her because of her age. was sent out of the palace and assigned to a catcher in Shuntian Mansion as a wife.

In recent years, King Xing has repeatedly sent people back to Beijing to send silver money to Lin Paner.

After King Xing returned to Beijing this time, he couldn't wait to see his good sister Lin Paner. Even if Lin Paner is already a forty-year-old woman, he has no dislike.

So, after the banquet on the night of his return to Beijing, he did not return directly to Xingwangfu.

King Xing changed into civilian clothes in Wang Yuan, and only brought his henchman Lu Song. went to the upper room of an inn to meet Lin Paner and stayed warm for an hour.

In this one hour. Lu Song has been standing outside the bedroom.

Whether King Xing is like an ordinary man, he loves to take a nap, Lu Song doesn't know.

Lin Paner didn't take advantage of King Xing's rest and secretly opened the ribbon bag containing the small seal, he didn't know.

Chang Feng listened to Lu Song's narration and slapped the table: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Lu Song said: "Master Chang, His Royal Highness and a forty-year-old woman are married in the inn. If it spreads, His Highness's reputation will be unfavorable. ”

"So I can't say it's easy."

Chang Feng got up: "That's it." I will not pursue you in this matter again. ”

I have already got the clues, so I naturally have to follow the clues to investigate.

Half an hour later, a large compound in the south of the city.

Hundreds of knights rode to the front of the courtyard. The leader is naturally Changfeng.

The door of the compound was bolted. Captain Xilang climbed over the wall and opened the deadbolt. The crowd poured into the compound.

This large miscellaneous courtyard is inhabited by the catchers and officials of Shuntian Mansion. There are four households in total.

One of the officials heard the noise and shouted outside the courtyard: "Which way of thieves dares to steal our compound at night?" Do you know that this large compound is inhabited by the officials of Shuntian Mansion? ”

Xu Fatzi shouted: "Jinyiwei handles the case!" Give it all to me! ”

The four families hurriedly lit the lamps. The four heads of the house came out with their clothes on.

Chang Feng asked: "Whose wife's surname is Lin, and her real name is Lin Paner." Is it from the palace? ”

A catcher quickly handed over: "Go back to the business." You're talking about my wife. ”

Chang Feng asked, "Oh? What's your name? What position? ”

Catch quickly answered: "Little Zhou Rui." Be a second-class fast player in Shuntianfu. ”

Chang Feng asked again: "Oh? How many people are in the family? ”

Zhou Yu quickly replied: "The little one, the cheap one, and the two children." ”

Chang Feng didn't ask again. He entered the east house where Zhou Zhukuai lived, drove the two children out, and interrogated Lin Paner.

Chang Feng took a look, this Lin Paner is really a, very beautiful, familiar and charming. In terms of charm, it is no less than the maid Cui Niang.

No wonder King Xing gave her in the year of the dancing spoon.

Chang Feng didn't talk nonsense with her, and directly burst out: "Who instructed you to steal the Xingwang Xiaoyin!" Not to mention, your husband, your two children have to die with you! ”

Lin Pan'er looked at Chang Feng in horror.

Chang Feng directly ordered Xu Fatzi: "Go, throw her two sons into the well first." ”

Lin Paner hurriedly threw herself down in front of Chang Feng and put her hand around Chang Feng's ankle: "My lord, spare my life, I say, I will say it." I beg you to release my two sons. ”

Chang Feng said: "Name! I need a name! Who instructed you? ”

Lin Paner replied: "Shuntian Mansion catches the house and catches the head, Zhao Sihu." ”

Chang Feng said: "Be careful. Why do you want to help Zhao Sihu and steal the Xingwang Xiaoyin. ”

Lin Paner replied: "My lord." I can't help it! His Royal Highness sent someone to send me money, and somehow let Zhao Sihu know. ”

"The day before King Xing entered Beijing, Zhao Sihu suddenly found me."

"He told me that he knew about my relationship with His Highness. If he makes it public, Concubine Jiang will kill my whole family. ”

"Then he threatened me to find an opportunity to steal His Highness's small seal and put it on a blank piece of paper. If it gets done, he'll keep his mouth shut. ”

Chang Feng said to himself: "So that's the case. Why is the name Zhao Sihu so familiar? ”

Xu Fatzi said on the side: "Cough! Isn't it the backbone of the group of people who specialized in secret errands that Li Guang co-opted? ”

Li Guang has always had a dream to reopen the West Factory and serve as the Governor of the West Factory. Become the second Wang Zhi.

Over the years, Li Guang has been urging Emperor Hongzhi to order the re-establishment of the West Factory to check and balance the East Factory and Jinyiwei.

Emperor Hongzhi has already been moved by him. There is the meaning of resetting the west factory. ordered Li Guang to prepare secretly.

Naturally, Li Guang wanted to recruit a group of people in Beijing who specialized in secret errands.

Secret agent of the Supervision and Arrest Department of the Criminal Department; The fast catchers of Shuntianfu are all suitable candidates.

Zhao Sihu, the head catcher of Shuntianfu, was in the list of Xichang soldiers drawn up by Li Guang.

Although the West Factory has not yet been established, Zhao Sihu's group of people have already taken refuge in Li Guang. In the original yamen, he collected intelligence and ran secret missions for Li Guang.

Just waiting for Emperor Hongzhi's will to reopen the West Factory, they were officially transferred to the West Factory.

Dongchang and Jinyiwei knew about this matter. In order to prevent Li Guang from sitting big, he fought against the old factory guards. Jin Yiwei kept a surveillance on the group.

Chang Feng patted his brain: "It turned out to be him!" I said the name was familiar! ”

Fat Xu said excitedly, "Hey." Now we can beat the rabbit with grass. not only cleared the grievances of King Xing, but also did Li Guang's house! Wonderful! ”

Changfeng runs around the case, continue!

At that time, everyone came to the courtyard of Zhao Sihu, the head catcher of Shuntian Mansion.

In order to prevent Zhao Sihu from escaping, Chang Feng first asked people to surround the courtyard.

Then it was the old way, over the wall to open the door bolt.

After a pillar of incense, Zhao Sihu, who had a beard on his face, was tied up with five flowers and escorted to Chang Feng.

Chang Feng said: "Zhao Sihu, you are so bold, you dare to frame the vassal king!" ”

Zhao Sihu didn't panic at all when he saw the Jinyi Guards in the courtyard: "It's the Chang Ye of the Jinyi Guard." You used to go to Shuntianfu to run errands, and I saw you. ”

"I'm the master of ceremonies, Gonggong Li's people. You don't have the right to arrest me. ”

Chang Feng laughed out loud: "I don't have the right to arrest you?" What a big breath! Sanpin Members, Jinyi Wei all said to arrest him, he said he would be punished, and he would be killed if he said he was killed! ”

"A headcatcher with no grade dares to be big in front of me?"

Zhao Sihu said: "No matter how big the Jinyi Wei is, it can't be as big as the celebrant supervisor!" And Chang Ye knows that it won't be long before the West Factory will reopen! At that time, I was the 100 households in Xichang. ”

"The West Factory is to supervise the East Factory and Jinyiwei!"

Chang Feng was in no mood and didn't have time to talk nonsense with Zhao Sihu.

He said directly to Qian Ning: "Shangda Memory Recovery Technique!" ”

nails are nailed to the foot plates, and wounds are salted; Tiger Chair; Play the lute.

As soon as the three punishments were met, Zhao Sihu directly became Zhao Simao.

He hated to recruit whom's needles he had stolen when he was a child, and the widows who had peeked at whom's house's baths.

Zhao Sihu confessed that it was Li Guang who ordered him to stamp the small seal of King Xing on a blank piece of paper.

It was a coincidence. Zhao Sihu has been collecting intelligence for Li Guang for the past six months.

He knew that his subordinates caught Lin Paner, a woman from Zhou Rui's family, and had an affair with King Xing.

So he coerced Lin Paner, and after keeping warm with King Xing, he stole King Xingwang's small seal while King Xing was asleep.

Shi Wenyi finished writing the confession, Zhao Sihu signed it, and drew the charge.

With this confession, Li Guang's head may not be protected!

Chang Feng ordered Qian Ning to go back to Jinyiwei again, and sorted out all the things involved in sending "yellow rice" and "white rice" to Li Guang in the officials' secret files.

This battle between the first idler of the Jinyi Guard and the celebrity of the celebrant is not only a decisive victory, but also a life and death.

Before dawn, Chang Feng entered the palace.

Emperor Hongzhi had already gotten up, and the little eunuchs helped him change into his dragon robe. He was resting on the dragon chair with his eyes closed, waiting to go to the Fengtian Gate for the morning pilgrimage.

Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty, Chang Feng asks to see you." ”

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned: "So early? Could it be that the mutiny and rebellion have been clarified? Let him in. ”

When Chang Feng saw Emperor Hongzhi, he bowed his head and bowed: "Your Majesty, the case of planting false accusations has been revealed." ”

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Oh my God! Or are you always good at doing things! I gave you a two-day deadline. It took you less than five hours to find out. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Chang Feng replied: "The celebrant supervisor Bingbi Li Guang ordered someone to steal the small seal of King Xing, forge the order to transfer troops, and frame King Xing for rebellion!" ”

After speaking, Chang Feng presented the confessions of Lin Paner and Zhao Sihu.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he didn't say a word.

Chang Feng said: "Your Majesty, Li Guang is extremely evil, and he dares to frame the vassal king!" Arrest should be made immediately. ”

Emperor Hongzhi said meaningfully: "The pen of the celebrant supervisor, the queen's henchman, will be caught when he says it." Not quite right? ”

Chang Feng frowned, and said secretly in his heart: Could it be that the emperor wants to protect Li Guang back?

So Chang Feng hurriedly fed Li Guang: "Your Majesty." Li Guang dared to forge an order to transfer troops today and frame the vassal king. Tomorrow, you will dare to really mobilize troops to rebel! ”

Emperor Hongzhi said: "It's an exaggeration. ”

As soon as the four words came out, Chang Feng "sighed" in his heart.

Could it be that the emperor really wants to protect Li Guang this time?

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "The palm prints and pen of the celebrant are all my henchmen!" ”

Chang Feng pondered the words of Emperor Hongzhi carefully.

More than ten years of experience in officialdom and the court has given him a keen sense of politics.

He suddenly understood!

Li Guang is arrogant, bold, and greedy because he has too much power in recent years.

Who gave Li Guang the power? It is none other than the Great Emperor Hongzhi.

If Emperor Hongzhi reused the confidant eunuchs, he was bold enough to frame the vassal king. Written into the history books, the history books will evaluate whether the Emperor Hongzhi is a Ming monarch or a faint monarch?

Emperor Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty, the most important thing is fame!

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly added: "However, if he does such a horrific thing, it is not possible to go unpunished." ”

"How to punish and on what grounds, you think about it."

Chang Feng arched his hand: "Yes, Your Majesty." The minister retired first. ”

Walking out of the Qianqing Palace, Chang Feng knew it in his heart. Emperor Hongzhi had murderous intentions towards Li Guang. But what reason to use to kill Li Guang, you will be very knowledgeable!

Li Guang could not be allowed to go unpunished, nor could he damage the reputation of Emperor Hongzhi.

After two moments of effort, the royal gate was early.

Li Guang's henchman, the Criminal Department, sent Wang Chanyun out of the class during the incident: "Your Majesty, King Xing colluded with Chang Feng, Shi Wenzhong, and Zhang Yong to transfer troops to surround the Imperial Garden, plotting misdeeds and attempting rebellion, and the evidence is conclusive. ”

"Rebellion is an unforgivable sin. King Xing should be dismissed immediately. Chang Feng, Shi Wenzhong, and Zhang Yong were dismissed and sent to prison. After the facts of the case were clarified, the sentence was justified. ”

"According to the old practice, the factory guard should be responsible for the investigation of the rebellion case."

"Cabinet Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Tianguan Ma Wensheng, Xia official Liu Daxia, have a very close personal relationship with Chang Feng on weekdays, and should avoid this case!"

Li Guang is now temporarily in charge of the factory guard, and what Wang Chanyun played is tantamount to saying: Your Majesty, you should hand over this case to Li Guang to be solely responsible.

Li Guang secretly rejoiced in his heart: The literati still have brains! How did I forget, there is a strict recusal system in the Ming criminal law.

Those five people have a good relationship with Chang Feng, so they should naturally avoid it!

The inquisitor went from six to one. It's easy to do! It's as easy for me to kill the wind as it is to shake an egg to the yellow.

Chang Feng was entangled at the moment. Showing evidence to prove that Li Guang planted the false accusations would damage the emperor's holy name.

If you don't come up with evidence, you and King Xing and others will continue to suffer unjustified injustice.

It's a real puzzle!

Unexpectedly, Emperor Hongzhi helped Chang Feng solve the problem!

Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly: "Wang Qing, what you said about the rebellion in the Imperial Garden, why don't I know?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Guang's henchmen were all stunned.

Li Guangdao: "Your Majesty, yesterday"

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and interrupted Li Guang: "You mean that the cavalry of the Fenwu Battalion went to the Imperial Garden yesterday?" ”

"Oh, it's the soldiers I instructed King Xing and Chang Fengtuo! I see that the generals of the Han Dynasty have been negligent in training recently, and they are not good at riding and shooting. I'm afraid of letting go of a white-haired old wolf. ”

"I asked them to mobilize their cavalry to hunt the white-haired old wolf."

Li Guang said that King Xing and Chang Feng rebelled because they "privately transferred troops".

Now Emperor Hongzhi said that the transfer of troops was instructed by him, so it was not "private".

Rebellion will not be established!

Li Guang was dumbfounded: Good guy. Your Majesty, this is a scoundrel!

The ruffians and hooligans can be cured if they play scoundrels, but the emperor can not be cured when they play scoundrels!

Wang Chanyun, who went out of the class to participate in the impeachment, was in place like a wooden stake. He didn't know what to say.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly: "It's all a misunderstanding!" King Xing, Chang Feng, Shi Wenzhong, and Zhang Yong are not guilty. ”

"Oh yes, yesterday Qian Neng was slightly ill, and I asked Li Guang to act as the governor and eunuch of Dongchang."

"Qian Neng took the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor and has been cured. From this moment on, he resumed his position as the commander of Qian Neng Dongchang. ”

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing comprehended and said loudly: "Nothing to do!" ”

The ministers dispersed, and Li Guang stood in front of the empty Fengtian Gate, without saying a word.

Chang Feng walked up to Li Guang: "Father-in-law Li, are you ready?" ”

Li Guang asked, "What are you ready for?" ”

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "Are you ready to die?" ”

Li Guang walked to the cemetery and hummed a little song to give himself courage: "Why should I prepare to die? I am the first confidant of the queen mother, the pen of the celebrant and the celebrant of ceremonies! ”

"Who would dare let me die? Who can let me die? ”

Chang Feng pointed at himself: "I dare to let you die." I can make you die! ”

After saying this, Chang Feng strode away from Qianguangting.

After returning to Jinyiwei, Qian Ning put a thick stack of paper in front of Chang Feng.

Qian Ning said: "I really don't know if I don't know it." All of them were shocked. Just the bribes that our Jinyiwei mastered, and the bribes sent to Li Guang by the hundred officials, added up to 210,000 taels of silver and 9,000 taels of gold. ”

"If you add in what we don't know, it's a shocking number."

Chang Feng carefully flipped through the stack of papers, and then instructed Qian Ning: "Burn it." ”

Qian Ning was stunned: "Burn it?" Master Chang, Li Guang wants your life. You don't retaliate with a tooth for tat? ”

"Let go of Li Guang, like a tiger returning to the mountain!"

Chang Feng patiently explained: "Brother Qian, take a look at the list of bribes yourself." ”

"Over the years, Li Guang has been quite favored and has a lot of influence. Those who bribed him included dukes, marquis, uncles, governors, chief soldiers, scholars, squires, imperial historians, governors, and prefects. ”

"Li Guang has a birthday, and even the three elders of the cabinet politely sent congratulatory silver."

"If we want to track down Li Guang who took bribes, we must track down the nobles and officials who gave bribes."

"Among these people, there are a large number of people who are relied on by the emperor. Do you want to force the emperor to raise a big case and let the Hongzhi Dynasty have a melon and vine copy? ”

"The eunuch, the confidant reused by the emperor, accepted astronomical bribes from the officials reused by the emperor. Written in the history books, where is the emperor's holy name? ”

"Our Jinyi Wei is the emperor's domestic slave. We must always maintain the emperor's reputation! ”

After speaking, Qian Ning gave a thumbs up: "It's still Chang Ye who is thoughtful." But you just swallowed it? ”

Chang Feng sneered: "Heh, swallow your anger? I want Li Guang to be doomed! ”

"It's just that the reason why I killed Li Guang was not to frame the vassal king, nor was it to embezzle and accept bribes."

Qian Ning asked: "Dare to ask Chang Ye, what is the reason?" ”

Chang Feng said: "Li Guang likes to pick up the emperor to build a lot of construction on weekdays. He's good to profit from it, right? ”

Channing replied, "Yes! The oil and water in the royal project are gone! Li Guang is in charge of a project casually, and he can earn a mile and a side. ”

"But, Master Chang, didn't you just say that the reason you killed Li Guang wouldn't be corruption and bribery?"

Chang Feng said three things: "Last winter, Li Guang asked the emperor to build a Yuxiu Pavilion on Wansui Mountain. In February this year, Yuxiu Pavilion was completed. ”

"In March, the emperor's youngest sister, Princess Xianyou, died of illness."

"In April, there was a fire in Qingning Palace."

"These three things are enough to make Li Guang lose his head!"

Qian Ning was puzzled: "These three things are not related!" ”

Chang Feng smiled: "Everything in the world is related. Just look at what the human mouth says. ”

On the way back to Jinyiwei from Fengtianmen, Chang Feng had already figured out how to destroy Li Guang.

If you want to talk about the whole person, Jinyiwei is professional. Chang Feng has been in Jinyiwei for sixteen years, and he has long been well versed in this.

Chang Feng asked Qian Ning: "What about Daoist Zhang?" ”

Qian Ning replied: "Daoist Zhang went to Qingfeng in the western suburbs to observe Sanqing. ”

Chang Feng instructed: "You send someone to find him back, and say that I have something important to discuss with him." ”

Qian Ning took the order and left, and returned to the duty room after a while: "Master Chang, the people have been sent." ”

Chang Feng nodded: "Well, let's wait for Daoist Zhang to come back in the room." He will be the knife that killed Li Guang. ”

I waited until noon. Liu Jin suddenly walked into the duty room: "Little uncle." The Queen asked me to pass on a message to you. ”

Chang Feng asked, "Oh? What words? ”

Liu Jin said: "The queen said that Li Guang and you are like her right-hand man. Don't fight left and right with your right and left arms. There is no benefit. ”

Chang Feng asked: "Li Guang is looking for the queen's mother?" ”

Liu Jin nodded slightly.

After the early dynasty, Li Guang felt that things were not good. immediately ran to Kunning Palace, hugged Empress Zhang's feet and wept bitterly, saying that Chang Feng was planning to kill him.

Empress Zhang's ears are soft, and her heart is softer. It's soft everywhere on the body.

So she asked Liu Jin to pass the word and asked Chang Feng not to fight with Li Guang.

Qian Ning listened to what Liu Jin said and said, "It's bad for Chang Ye." The queen wants to protect Li Guang. Then we can't move Li Guang for half a minute by any means. ”

"You know, the emperor listens to the queen's mother the most."

Liu Jin said: "What Qian said is true! Honestly, little uncle. In the entire capital, the one who wants Li Guang to be in a different place the most is my nephew and me. ”

But the queen spoke. No one could move Li Guang. ”

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "In the harem, is Empress Zhang the biggest?" ”

The next morning, Daoist Zhang finally returned.

Chang Feng invited Daoist Zhang to the duty room and explained to him like this, like and so on.

The next day, Cining Palace.

Daoist Zhang came to preach to the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Daoist Zhang made a fool of himself and coaxed the old lady into a daze.

After a while, Daoist Zhang began to follow Chang Feng's instructions and pull the topic to the Long Live Mountain Yuxiu Pavilion.

Daoist Zhang said: "Empress Dowager, Princess Xianyou will be born in February this year. In March, another fire broke out in Qingning Palace. The inner palace can be described as a bad year! It may be a taboo. ”

Empress Dowager Zhou hurriedly asked, "Huh? When you say that, it's true! Tell me quickly, what kind of taboo have you committed? ”

Daoist Zhang said: "You need to help you ask for a hexagram." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou said: "Set up an altar quickly!" ”

Not long after, the shrine, altar and altar were set up in the apse of Cining Palace.

Daoist Zhang gave incense to Sanqing Shangxian, and then pinched the trick and recited a mantra.

A moment later, Daoist Zhang fell straight to the ground like a wooden stake.

He began to foam at the mouth. After spitting at the foam, like a maggot, wriggling on the ground.

Suddenly, he leaped to his feet like a large agile toad, his eyes rolled up, revealing the whites of his eyes.

Daoist Zhang shouted in a terrible tone: "I am the Taiqing Moral Heavenly Venerable!" ”

The Empress Dowager Zhou knelt down for Daoist Zhang, and said reverently: "Dare to ask Taiqing Daode Tianzun, my poor little six have returned to heaven." Within a month, a fire broke out in the palace. What kind of taboo did you commit? ”

Daoist Zhang picked up a smooth and round branch. Convulsed all over, scribbling on the sand table.

After a while, Daoist Zhang began to fall to the ground and foam at the mouth again, learn maggots to wriggle, and get up again.

Empress Dowager Zhou asked, "The immortals are gone?" ”

Daoist Zhang nodded: "Well, let's go." ”

The two came to the sand table. I saw the word "Yu" scrawled on the sand table.

Empress Dowager Zhou asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Daoist Zhang pretended to meditate. After a moment, he patted his brain: "Understood." Oh! So that's it! ”

Empress Dowager Zhou was a little anxious: "What's going on, tell me quickly." ”

Daoist Zhang said: "Last winter, Li Guang suggested that the emperor break ground on Wansui Mountain and build Yuxiu Pavilion. Yuxiuting occupies a 'Yu' character. ”

"What is Banzai Mountain? That's where the palace luck! How can it be so easy to break ground? ”

"It is precisely because of the construction of Yuxiu Pavilion that the luck of the palace is ruined, which leads to the violation of the New Year's taboo!"

"In other words, Princess Xianyou returned to heaven and the fire in the palace was the culprit, and the culprit was Li Guang!"

The Empress Dowager Zhou had an almost blind superstition about Daoist Zhang.

She said, "I see! ”

Daoist Zhang took the opportunity to say bad things about Li Guang: "The two uncles of the Zhang family once had a fight with the uncle of the Zhou family. ”

"Actually, Empress Zhang's two younger brothers respect your family the most!"

"Li Guang is good friends with Uncle Zhang Jiaguo, and everyone knows it. The original battle was all instigated by Li Guang! ”

A few years ago, the brawl between the uncle of the national uncle in the fish market on Maojiaozi Street caused a sensation in the capital. For this matter, the Empress Dowager Zhou did not pay attention to Empress Zhang for three consecutive months.

Daoist Zhang arched the fire slightly, and the Empress Dowager Zhou was immediately angry: "Just say it to the mourning family!" The queen has always been respectful to the mourning family. How could his two younger brothers fight with the younger brother of the mourning family? ”

"It turned out that Li Guang instigated it!"

Daoist Zhang nodded: "Li Guang's instigation of the relationship between the imperial family is a minor crime. It is a big sin to provoke the emperor to repair the Yuxiu Pavilion, causing the princess to return to heaven and the palace to catch fire! ”

"If this person is not eliminated, the palace may have some kind of trouble in the future!"

It turned out that Chang Feng wanted to get rid of Li Guang with the help of the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Empress Zhang is not the biggest in the harem. The real master of the harem is the old grandmother of Emperor Hongzhi!

If the Empress Dowager speaks except for Li Guang, Empress Zhang can't keep it if she wants to!

The whole person does not lie in the means, but in the results.

As long as Li Guang can be brought down and the noble goal of sweeping away the traitorous eunuchs for the imperial court can be achieved, it doesn't matter if the means are pickled.

The Empress Dowager Zhou was instigated by Daoist Zhang, and she hated to break Li Guang's body into pieces.

In the evening, Daoist Zhang left the palace and returned to Jinyiwei.

Chang Feng stood in front of the gate of Jinyiwei, anxiously waiting for his figure.

Finally, Daoist Zhang got off the sedan chair and arched his hand towards Chang Feng: "Master Chang." ”

Chang Feng hurriedly asked, "Is the thing done?" ”

Daoist Zhang attached to Chang Feng's ear: "It's done." The Empress Dowager can't pick Li Guang's skin and eat Li Guang's meat at this moment! ”

Chang Feng clapped his hands: "Okay!" Zhang Daoye, this time thanks to you. ”

Daoist Zhang sighed: "Everyone says that I am a god who pretends to be a ghost. But they forgot that I, a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, have a heart to serve the country loyally! ”

"Sweeping away the traitorous eunuchs means serving the country with loyalty!"

Chang Feng arched his hand towards Daoist Zhang: "Daoist is righteous!" Chang Feng admires it very much! ”

Three days later, the Empress Dowager of Zhou sent a message to ask Emperor Hongzhi to accompany her on a tour of Banzai Mountain.

The two ancestors and grandchildren sat in eight people and came to the top of Banzai Mountain. The scenery of Banzai Mountain is unobstructed.

Empress Dowager Zhou suddenly pointed to Yuxiu Pavilion: "Zhang'er, what do you think that Yuxiu Pavilion looks like?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Dare to ask the imperial grandmother, what do you say it looks like?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhou was stunned: "Like a wedge, wedged into the dragon vein of Long Live Mountain!" ”

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned: "Huh? ”

Empress Dowager Zhou said: "The mourning family has ordered the people of Qin Tianjian to see it." Banzai Mountain is where the fortune of the palace is located. ”

"This Yuxiu Pavilion has cut off the palace's luck, causing the palace to commit a taboo!"

"Your sixth sister returned to heaven, and the fire in Qingning Palace was all caused by the old man's taboo!"

Qin Tianjian's people were naturally coerced and lured by Chang Feng, so they had the same caliber as Daoist Zhang.

The Empress Dowager Zhou asked: "Which ill-intentioned person suggested that you order the construction of Yuxiu Pavilion?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi replied: "Li Guang." ”

The Empress Dowager Zhou said a sentence recorded in the "Ming Shilu": "Today's Li Guang, tomorrow's Li Guang, really disaster will happen!" ”
