Chapter 251: God Deceives
Chang Feng entered the cabinet room with Li Mengyang's performance in a menacing manner.
Liu Jian said angrily: "Who let you in!" ”
Throughout the history books, the Jinyiwei of the Hongzhi Dynasty is the least powerful and non-existent Jinyiwei of the 16th Emperor and the 17th Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.
Even the head of the brocade guard can't go in and out of the cabinet room casually.
Chang Feng unceremoniously found a chair and sat down: "What, you are all about to make the emperor angry, I can't come to you to settle accounts?" ”
Xie Qian scolded: "The cabinet is an important place for military aircraft, and it is a place for you to play tricks? Get out! ”
Li Dongyang played a round game: "Why did Brother Chang say this? Who's angry? ”
Chang Feng slammed Li Mengyang's recital on the table: "This is Huang Lang, the right general political officer of the General Administration Division, who deceived Li Mengyang's recital." You have done all the good things, and you still ask me who is angry with the emperor? ”
Liu Jian was puzzled: "What Huang Lang and Li Mengyang?" Full of nonsense, I don't know what to say! ”
Xie Qian shouted: "Chang Feng, you trespassed into the cabinet room, is it a bad intention?" ”
Li Dongyang picked up the piece of music and looked at it carefully, and then he let out an exclamation: "It's a big rebellion!" ”
Xie Qian echoed: "That's right, Chang Feng is rebellious!" Sprinkle jokes in the cabinet room"
Li Dongyang said: "I said that Li Mengyang is rebellious. After speaking, he handed the song to Xie Qian.
After Xie Qian saw it, a layer of white sweat appeared on his head: "This, this, what kind of lie is this!" ”
Liu Jian was a little strange: "Isn't it just a piece of music?" How did you get involved in the fallacy? ”
After speaking, Liu Jian took the note curiously. After he saw it, he threw it directly on the table: "Ah! It really dirties my eyes! ”
Chang Feng looked at the reactions of the three of them, as if they didn't know anything about this slur.
Chang Feng wondered: Could it be that Huang Lang was clever and did this behind his three masters?
Chang Feng asked, "As far as I know, Huang Lang is the confidant of the three of you. ”
Liu Jian was furious: "Do you think that the cabinet instructed people to play this trick?" Are we crazy? ”
This recital completely negates the prosperity of Hongzhi and the current emperor. Meantime. Also negated the Cabinet! Deny us! ”
Liu Jian is telling the truth. The cabinet was the emperor's auxiliary. To say that the Hongzhi Dynasty is a black mass is to say that the cabinet is also a black mass.
Li Dongyang said: "Chang Feng, do you think that the conscience of the three of us has been eaten by dogs?" ”
Li Dongyang has always been gentle and elegant, and rarely says such marketable words. It seems that he is really in a hurry.
Liu, Li, and Xie may have abused their power, or they may have tried their best to protect the interests of the gentry in the world. But they are not mad treacherous people.
All their power was given by Emperor Hongzhi.
For them, Emperor Hongzhi was a good emperor who was close to the "virtuous ministers" and far from the villain. Under the rule of Emperor Hongji, the civilian power reached its peak since the founding of the country.
And people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless? Emperor Hongzhi is their Bole. There is a monarch and a minister relationship between them.
Instead of looking forward to Emperor Hongzhi's death, they hoped that Emperor Hongzhi would recover from his illness and live a long life. In this way, the power of civil officials can continue to be as stable as Mount Tai.
Liu Jian asked Chang Feng: "What is going on with this performance?" ”
Chang Feng told the three of them about Li Mengyang being used by Huang Lang after he was drunk, and he was so angry that Emperor Hongzhi vomited blood on "Two Diseases, Three Harms and Six Graduals".
After Liu Jian heard this, he gritted his teeth with hatred: "Huang Lang should be damned!" ”
Xie Qianyi commanded Chang Feng: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Hurry up and arrest Huang Lang and interrogate him strictly. If there is a backstage, catch his backstage! ”
Li Dongyang also said: "The cabinet will not tolerate such things. Chang Feng, take out the tough wrist of your Jinyi Guard butcher. Huang Lang is tired of this guy, and the sky can't save him! ”
What Chang Feng wants is this attitude of the cabinet.
It's a shame to say. During the Chenghua Dynasty, the second and third rank officials of the imperial court, Jin Yiwei, said that they would be caught.
In the eighteenth year of Hongji. To catch a civil official in Beijing, Jin Yiwei needs to get the tacit approval of the cabinet.
Chang Feng didn't speak again, turned around and left the Jinyi Wei duty room, took Zhang Cai, and ordered twenty Han generals to go to the General Administration Division.
The lobby of the General Secretary happened to be Huang Lang on duty today.
Chang Feng and the others broke in aggressively. Huang Lang frowned: "Who let you in?" The General Administration Department is the privy place of the imperial court, how can the reckless man of Jinyiwei be allowed to make times? ”
Chang Feng frowned: "I said Huang Lang, shouldn't you not recognize me, Jinyi Wei Chang butcher, right?" ”
Huang Lang sneered: "The butcher is notorious in the capital. How could I not know? ”
Chang Feng sighed: "Alas, Jinyiwei is really not majestic!" Even a fourth-grade Beijing official didn't take the head of Jinyi Wei in his eyes. ”
"Come on, take Huang Lang down."
Huang Lang said: "Wait! Do you think I have a cabinet order? Is there the emperor's will? If not, I advise you not to ask for trouble! ”
"Don't say that you are a fellow Zuo Tongzhi, even if you are your father-in-law Qian, Commander Mu will give three points to the cabinet."
Chang Feng smiled: "You're right." It's the three elders of the cabinet who asked me to arrest you. Take! ”
Huang Lang originally made a good calculation: I picked up Li Mengyang and killed the emperor. The young son of heaven ascended the throne, and the power of the cabinet was even greater. Can't you thank me?
He made a mistake. He looked down on the character of Liu, Li, and Xie too much. The three of them have not yet reached the point of losing their hearts for power.
An hour later, the prison was questioned.
Huang Lang was already covered in bruises. He confessed everything. It was his own initiative to pry Li Mengyang to play the emperor.
He just wanted to shine in front of the three cabinet elders, and when the dynasty changed, he was promoted two levels and became the minister of the Zhengsanpin Ministry.
Chang Feng was released from prison, and Zhang Cai asked: "Master Chang, how to convict Huang Lang?" Instructing others to insult the Holy Beings of the day? ”
Chang Feng shook his head: "If this crime is used, things will be complicated." You have to learn to make complex things simple. ”
Zhang Cai asked: "Then what do you see?" ”
Chang Feng said: "Raid his home." If the family is rich, it will be convicted of embezzlement and bribery. ”
"If he is a poor man who sells his reputation, he doesn't have much money at home. Then take out ten thousand taels of silver from Wei Nei's private treasury and move it to his house. is still convicted of embezzlement and bribery. ”
Jinyiwei has never lacked means. In terms of the means of rectifying people, Jinyiwei is definitely professional enough.
The key is whether the cabinet agrees with the person of Jinyi Wei.
It was Liu, Li, and Xie who "ordered" Chang Feng to rectify Huang Lang. Naturally, the means are not a problem.
Zhang Cai asked: "What about Li Mengyang?" ”
For Li Mengyang, Chang Feng is to be protected. He knew that Li Mengyang didn't have any bad intentions. This time he was only used by Huang Lang because he was drunk.
Chang Feng said: "I'll go and say hello to the cabinet." Let the cabinet say a few kind words in front of the emperor to protect Li Mengyang. Today, there is no one who cannot be kept by the cabinet. ”
As Chang Feng said. Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian jointly protected Li Mengyang. Emperor Hongzhi, who was seriously ill, only punished Li Mengyang for three months.
Emperor Hongzhi did not pursue Li Mengyang, which does not mean that Li Mengyang is safe. Li Mengyang participated in the impeachment of the Zhang brothers in that letter.
Chang Feng understands Zhang Heling. With Zhang Heling's temperament, maybe he would kidnap Li Mengyang and beat him up.
Li Mengyang's body can't withstand the beating of the Zhang family's evil servants. You must know that half of the servants of the Zhang family are from ruffians.
So on the evening of this day, Chang Feng came to the Shouning Marquis Mansion.
Zhang Heling is in his thirties. There is no stability at all. It's still the same beating sex as before. Greedy and stupid, violent and ferocious. The bad things he has done in the past 18 years have been 500, if not 800.
After all, Zhang Heling is the most famous landslide in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Yanling has gone to Jiangnan in the past few months to take care of the Zhang family's business in Jiangnan, and has not yet returned to Beijing.
When Chang Feng came, Zhang Heling naturally wanted to be warmly entertained. Fortunately, Chang Feng saved his sister's life, and he also saved his life from the vultures.
Chang Feng followed Zhang Heling into the dining room. Needless to say, the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, the winged ginseng and abalone belly.
Zhang Heling also got eight ditched and lost girls to accompany the wine. These girls were all coerced and lured by Zhang Heling from tenants.
Chang Feng hurriedly said: "Let's let these girls go down." Let your sister-in-law know that I'm afraid I'll have to put on an oil lamp when I go back. ”
Zhang Heling asked: "Why doesn't my sister-in-law go to Kunning Palace often recently?" ”
Chang Feng smiled bitterly: "I still have a murder case on my back." Go to Kunning Palace for fear of attracting criticism. ”
Zhang Heling smiled: "Ahem, didn't you just kill a six-grade official?" What a big deal! I admire my sister-in-law. The heroine of the female middle school, the current Hua Mulan. I was forced to be in a hurry, I really dare to kill! ”
Chang Feng hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't mention this matter in the future." I'm here to say hello to you. Li Mengyang is my friend, don't touch him. ”
When Zhang Heling heard the words "Li Mengyang", his face changed: "Blanch!" I was just going to ask the butler to take a few people, and tomorrow when he got off on a business trip, he blocked him in the middle of the road and broke a few of his fingers. ”
"If you play sparsely, you will play sparsely, why do you want to piggyback on me and Trillium?"
Chang Feng knows Zhang Heling very well. He is a donkey, and he has to follow him.
Chang Feng said: "Li Mengyang was also bewitched. The person who bewitched him has been caught by me, and he will die. ”
"Jokes, dare to impeach me Heling and Trillium brothers. I'm an old brother who doesn't agree! ”
Zhang Heling clapped his hands: "Hey, it's still Brother Chang facing our brothers." ”
Chang Feng said: "Then what do you think of Li Mengyang?" ”
Zhang Heling said: "Since he is a friend of Brother Chang, I will spare him." ”
We're done talking. The two began to drink and chat.
Chang Feng asked, "When will Trillium return to Beijing?" ”
Zhang Heling said: "At least two months." Brother Chang didn't know that when he came back this time, he had to take more than 600,000 taels of profit from the eight commercial banks we opened in Jiangnan. ”
"I didn't have a silver ticket, it was all cash. There are two official ships alone! ”
The Zhang Heling brothers can be said to have made money. In Hangzhou, in the name of the emperor's brother-in-law, they bought silk at a low price through the Weaving Bureau and resold it at a high price.
In Yangzhou, they resold salt. Doing a lot of private salt business.
In Nanjing, they also bought and sold human beings. Bring the Jiangnan girl to the capital.
It can be said that the entire Jiangnan is full of the Zhang family's unsightly business. The Zhang family has countless properties in Jiangnan.
Chang Feng persuaded Zhang Heling: "The Zhang family has enough money." Don't go home for any more money. ”
Zhang Heling suddenly restrained his smile, and said to Chang Feng: "The previous generations of the Zhang family have been poor and crazy, and they are afraid of poverty. In this generation, the Zhang family has made a fortune easily. I have to save a great business for the next ten generations. ”
Chang Feng knew that he couldn't persuade Zhang Heling, so he had to change the topic: "I haven't been to your house for a long time, what's new in the house recently?" ”
Zhang Heling said: "Cough! Recently, I met a Yoshisen! ”
Thousands, deception.
Chang Feng became interested: "Oh? What's going on? Let's talk about it. ”
Zhang Heling took a sip of wine and told a strange story.
Two months ago, a frail young man dressed as a scholar begged to see Zhang Heling.
The weak young man's name is Xu Chunbao. He bluntly said that he was a thousand-door liar.
Xu Chunbao told Zhang Heling that he had recently planned to deceive Xie Qian of a sum of money.
Most of Xie Qian's family were in business, and they made a lot of money under the protection of the elder of the pavilion. Definitely a fat sheep.
It's a pity that this scam against the Xie family requires a sum of five thousand taels of silver as bait. He was short of the bait now.
He borrowed 5,000 taels of silver from Zhang Heling.
Zhang Heling had long seen Xie Qian unpleasantly. Xu Chunbao wants to deceive Xie's family, and Zhang Heling naturally wants to support him.
With the black-and-white power of the Shouning Marquis Mansion, if Xu Chunbao dares to play tricks and take the silver, he will run away, which is looking for death.
Zhang Heling also brought Xu Chunbao's own son and mother into the mansion and took him hostage. saved Xu Chunbao from taking away the five thousand taels of bait silver he gave.
After about a month and a half, Xu Chunbao found Zhang Heling again.
Xu Chunbao cried bitterly, saying that he was too shallow. Not only did he not deceive the Xie family, but he also folded the book. Five thousand taels of silver were paid cleanly.
Zhang Heling was furious: "Lao Tzu is a well-known Pixiu, only in and out. You paid Lao Tzu's five thousand taels of silver? I'll give your whole family the life of a dollar! ”
Xu Chunbao said: "How dare I let Uncle Guo lose money? I have sold all my land and sold my ancestral home. Even the feng shui treasure of the ancestral tomb was sold. In the end, he made up 5,000 taels of silver and returned it to Uncle Guo. ”
Zhang Heling took a look, this liar is good! It's very moral. I'd rather sell my ancestral tomb than plug the deficit for me. He is really a righteous man.
At this time, Xu Chunbao said that now he has no house, no land, no home, and can't eat. Uncle Guo can reward some scattered silver taels, so that he can support his son and mother.
Zhang Heling likes to make messy friends the most, and he is generous.
He readily agreed, and casually gave Xu Chunbao a silver ticket of one thousand taels.
He also told Xu Chunbao: "If you encounter trouble in the future, such as committing something in the hands of the government, you can come to me to solve it." ”
After Zhang Heling finished telling everything, he said with a smile: "Brother Chang, do you say that this liar is quite righteous, can he be regarded as a righteous thousand?" ”
Chang Feng looked at Zhang Heling in a daze: "My stupid brother." You have been deceived by Xu Chunbao! ”
Zhang Heling frowned: "I wasn't deceived." He gave me back the money. ”
Chang Feng smiled bitterly: "The target of Xu Chunbao's deception is not the Xie family. It's you! ”
"The so-called plan to deceive Xie's family is simply nothing!"
"He cheated you out of a thousand taels of silver! It's the 'scattered silver taels' you gave him to feed his son and mother! ”
Speaking of which, Zhang Heling reacted even if he was stupid.
He slapped the table: "Blanch! If Brother Chang hadn't said it, I wouldn't have found out that I had been deceived until now! I'll send for him!" ”
"The cauldron guys in the capital who scrape the ground are all my friends. He couldn't fly out of the palm of my hand. ”
Chang Feng said: "This person is really bold. Even Uncle Guo dared to shabu. ”
"And he's clever in his methods. Without much effort, he received your thousand taels of silver, plus your promise to shelter him in the future. ”
"He also came up to show you the identity of a thousand liars. It is amazing to grasp the accuracy of human nature. ”
"I'd love to meet such talents. Maybe it will come in handy in the future. ”
