Both inside and outside the Qincha line are the people of the Jinyi Guard. In particular, the room where Liang Bohong was held was like an iron bucket.

Assassins were indeed sent. The Assassins infiltrated the Assassins in the guise of magistrates. However, the Jinyi guards watched too closely, and they couldn't succeed at all.

This made the officials involved in the salt case in Jiangnan anxious.

The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and the person bit in a hurry.

A group of two-rank jinshi naturally have fast brains. Some of them came up with a solution. If there is no chance to assassinate Liang Bohong, can he kidnap two people close to Qin Cha and exchange Liang Bohong?

Li Dongyang's daughter Li Ping'er did not return to Beijing after marrying Chang Ponu in Shandong, but followed her husband to Yangzhou and lived in Qinchaxingyuan.

Night.

Li Ping'er's room flickered with candlelight. Through the window lattice paper, you can see the figure in the room, and a woman is sitting at a table embroidered with female red.

Chang Ponu discussed with Wang Miaoxin and several hundred households all night in the Xingyuan Hall how to dig deep into the shady scenes of the two Huai and Zhejiang salt farms, and the poor new daughter-in-law had to stay alone in the empty room.

Chang Po Nu seems to have made a mistake. All his subordinates have been transferred to protect the key criminal Liang Bohong. There was no one guarding Li Ping'er's room.

Suddenly, two men in black slid off the roof with a rope. They had short knives pinned to their waists.

"Squeak", they pushed the door and entered Li Ping'er's room.

Upon entering the room, they saw a woman in a silk skirt and jacket, sitting at the table, embroidering red with her back to them.

The two men in black were overjoyed: kidnapping a woman who was powerless was not a matter of holding a handle?

They slowly approached the woman from behind.

It's too late, it's too soon. The woman turned her head.

When the two men in black looked at the woman's face, they couldn't help but be shocked!

What's going on with this, it's more ugly than a dog? Still have stubble on your chin? The face is still pitted and pockmarked?

Broken! Hit the trick! That's not a woman at all. It's a strong man dressed as a man!

That's right, this "Li Ping'er" is pretended to be a wrestler of Jinyiwei.

"Li Ping'er" suddenly took out the scorpion crossbow from his waist and aimed it at the two men in black.

"Hula". The silk curtain of the bed opened, and five big men jumped out of it. He also holds a scorpion crossbow in his hand.

The tall man in black blurted out: "The wind is tight!" ”

The two turned around, ready to flee the door. Want to run? There is no door!

"Hulala". More than a dozen brocade-clad guards blocked the door.

These two men in black were dead men. The so-called dead people generally have relatives who are hostages in the hands of the Lord's family. If they are captured alive, their relatives will surely die.

The two men in black took out a pill from their waists at the same time and put it in their mouths.

The general banner led by the Jinyi guard shouted: "Hurry up, don't let them take poison!" Wang Tongzhi and Chang Xiaoye let us catch it alive! ”

Where is it still too late. After swallowing the pill, the two men in black immediately fell to the ground, bleeding from seven holes.

Not long after, Wang Miaoxin and Chang Ponu walked in.

Wang Miaoxin stretched out her hand and pulled off the black veils covering the faces of the two men in black.

Chang Ponu said: "I seem to have seen these two people. I remembered that it was the tea room of the two pipes of tea in Qincha Xingyuan. ”

The servants of the Qin mission were all locals sent by the yamen of the Yangzhou prefect.

Wang Miaoxin probed the two of them with her hand: "It's already out of breath." ”

Chang Ponu was indignant: "Fortunately, uncle, you are clever, and I expected that they might kidnap Ping'er and force us to release them." ”

"Damn, those people are crazy, aren't they? Ping'er is the daughter of the second assistant of the cabinet! My old Tarzan is one of the heads of civil officials! ”

Wang Miaoxin smiled bitterly: "The poor rat devours the raccoon, and the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry." Those civil officials are no different from mad dogs, and they are so ruthless that they even bite their own people. It's a pity that I didn't catch it alive. ”

Chang Ponu asked: "The two assassins were sent by the yamen of the Yangzhou prefect, can the Yangzhou prefect be held accountable?" ”

Wang Miaoxin shook her head slightly: "I'm afraid it's difficult." The prefect of Yangzhou will definitely push 625. Come on, transport these two to the outskirts and find a place to bury them. ”

Several wrestlers carried the bodies of the two men in black out.

Chang Ponu said: "My father often told me that running the secret errand of Jinyiwei is like walking on the blade. If you're not careful, you'll never recover. ”

"Although I am not from Jinyiwei, this time I am on an errand with Jinyiwei. I really understand my father's words. If it weren't for Uncle Wang, you would have taken precautions and laid out in advance. I'm afraid Ping'er was really taken captive by them. ”

"My new daughter-in-law has just been married for less than two months. How sad it would be for me to be taken captive by the wicked people! ”

Wang Miaoxin said: "Yes." Your dad has been in this half of his life. Not easy. I'm not easy either. All the robes of the brocade guards are not easy. ”

"Don't look at all of us, we are all dressed in brocade, majestic. The sinister is something that only we know. ”

Two days later, Wang Miaoxin received a flying pigeon from the capital.

After Wang Miaoxin saw it, he immediately found Chang Ponu: "Po Nu, your father has come to Feige to pass on the book." It's really an old woman who drilled the quilt and made fun of the master. ”

"Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Xie Qian, a cabinet member, impeached the two of us for soliciting bribes in Yangzhou and slandering officials and salt merchants."

Chang Ponu's face changed: "What? I. I am Li Dongyang's son-in-law! They actually want to put Li Dongyang's son-in-law to death! ”

Wang Miaoxin snorted coldly: "Hmph, it's really ruthless." Take a bite back and frame you. However, they have no actual evidence, and there is no cause for concern about participating in the impeachment and solicitation of bribes. ”

"Daddy asked the two of us to stay in Yangzhou and continue to dig deep into the shady scenes of the salt farm. He sent You Jingwu south to escort Liang Bohong into Beijing. As long as Liang Bohong enters Beijing smoothly, he will be interrogated. The case is a sure thing. ”

"None of those silverfish can escape!"

Let's talk about the capital.

Inside the main hall of the Qianqing Palace. Emperor Zhengde is tying a bow. Chang Feng and Liu Jin helped him press the bow on the left and right.

Emperor Zhengde said: "It was the imperial aunt who beat the little sect and rode and shot. I have both a close relationship with the Chang family, as well as a mentor-apprentice relationship. Uncle, this time you must clear the stigma of asking for bribes for the broken slaves. ”

"I also plan to train him for more than ten or twenty years, and then let him enter the cabinet and become my right-hand man."

Chang Feng said: "The emperor can rest assured. The minister has been in the Jinyi Health Office for more than 20 years and has an experience. ”

Emperor Zhengde tightened his bowstring: "Oh? What's the takeaway? ”

Chang Feng said: "It can't be fake, it can't be fake." You know that he was born rich. The more naturally wealthy people are, the less they care about money. ”

"The so-called 'soliciting bribes' is just a way for Liu and Xie to come up with a way to delay time and divert attention in order to preserve their protégés."

Emperor Zhengde said: "Heh, I want to see what shameless things these two gentlemen who teach me benevolence, righteousness and morality all day long will do in order to protect their insatiable protégés." ”

Liu Jin said: "Your Majesty, hypocrites from ancient times to the present are the same. The fiercest of the clamoring literati is often the softest knee. ”

"The fiercest people who shout for benevolence, righteousness and morality are often the most bottomless."

"Those who talk about serving the country with loyalty every day, foreign enemies are often the first to be traitors and thieves!"

Emperor Zhengde said: "That's right! Or the martial artists and eunuchs are purer and more loyal. ”

The three of them finally tied their bows and arrows.

Emperor Zhengde said: "Sooner or later, this bow will have to bend its bow and shoot arrows, and the arrows will shoot at those civil officials in the court." ”

"Uncle, Liu Daban'er, the two of you must be my strongest bowstring."

Chang Feng and Liu Jin said in unison: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Liu Jian's mansion.

Xie Qian's face was full of sadness: "Shoufu, although we have won the opportunity to calm this turmoil. But how easy is it to let Liang Bohong 'commit suicide'? Jin Yiwei will definitely protect him strictly along the way. ”

Liu Jian smiled slightly: "It seems that the inner line in the Jinyi Guard is going to be activated." ”

Xie Qian was stunned: "You have an inside line buried in the Jinyi Guard?" ”

Liu Jian nodded: "There is not only an inside line. And the inside line is one of Chang Feng's most trusted people. ”

Xie Qian clapped his hands: "Oh, good!" With the help of an insider, things will be easy to do. ”

Liu Jian smiled bitterly: "Heh, but if you think about this matter carefully, I always feel ashamed of my conscience." Our protégés are too angry. No matter how much they like silver, they should not privately divide the salt and embezzle the imperial salt tax. ”

"What we do today, what we don't like to say is to frame the loyal and the good, and protect the corrupt officials."

Xie Qian comforted Liu Jian: "We are for the overall situation." If the eunuch party took this opportunity to suppress our civil officials. In the future, the government will be controlled by the eunuch party, and the ancestral foundation will probably be destroyed. ”

Liu Jian sighed: "Alas, now I can only think like this." ”

Xie Qian said: "That's right. Li Dongyang seems to have been calm in recent days. We participated in the impeachment of his son-in-law, and he was indifferent. ”

Liu Jian said: "I think Li Dongyang has the possibility of falling to the Eight Tigers." We still have to be careful about this person in the future. ”

Xie Qian took a sip of tea: "He is the second assistant, so he naturally covets your first auxiliary throne." Defecting to the Eight Tigers is a shortcut to break you down and replace you. Hmph, he is really a shame of the literati! ”

Xie Qian kept saying that Li Dongyang was a shame for the literati. This is a good comparison: I have a hairy face, not to say that others are monkeys.

Chang Feng waited in Beijing for Liang Bohong to be escorted into Beijing. He knows the ability of Yizi You Jingwu, and it is not a problem to escort a criminal into the capital safely.

Chang Feng is now worried that his son will be unfavorable to him in Yangzhou Jiewenguan Group.

Chang Feng doesn't want to be left behind. So he came to the Dingguo Mansion and found Xu Fatzi.

Xu Fatzi stepped down from the errand of the Thousand Households of the Elephant Tamer, and became an idle nobleman in the house.

He is the same age as Chang Feng, and he is already a person who has entered the age of no confusion.

Fat people are old and usually in poor health.

Xu Fatzi has recently had symptoms of thirst-quenching disorder. I have to drink four liters of water a day, and my appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and I can't eat enough. Peeing also foams.

There's no good way to search for famous doctors. Thirst-quenching disease can only be recuperated, not eradicated.

The two of them sat down in the hall of the Duke's Palace.

Xu Fatzi smiled: "The nephew of the broken slave is good." I heard that he has recently turned Jiangnan officialdom upside down. ”

Chang Feng said: "It's not just Jiangnan officialdom. I don't know how many people in the capital want to trap him in an unpredictable place. He was in Yangzhou, as if he was at the tip of a knife. ”

Fat Xu frowned: "What do you mean?" Do you suspect that someone is going to work against him? Those corrupt officials dare to assassinate the Qincha? ”

Chang Feng smiled bitterly: "What do they dare not do?" I'm here to ask you to do something. ”

Fat Xu asked, "What's the matter?" We are brothers who have died, you can just say it. ”

Chang Feng said: "Can you go to Yangzhou?" It is reasonable for the duke to go to Jiangnan to play. I'll give you two hundred wrestlers. You take them to Yangzhou to protect the broken slaves. ”

"I've been having nightmares every night lately. I always dreamed that the broken slave had an accident in Yangzhou. ”

Xu Fatzi comforted Chang Feng: "Dreams are usually reversed. I'll leave tomorrow. ”

At the critical moment, the brothers of life and death are still reliable. For Chang Feng, Xu Fatzi really has nothing to say.

Chang Feng asked with concern: "Your illness?" ”

Fat Xu waved his hand: "Thirst quenching is like that, it can't be cured." It's not so easy to die. Out of the way. ”

Chang Feng said: "Fatty, thank you very much!" ”

Xu Fatzi said half-jokingly: "Damn, they all said that they can quench their thirst and lose meat." I didn't see a little lighter, it was still two hundred pounds. ”

"The duke of two hundred catties will go to Yangzhou City for one stop. I'll see which one dares to hurt my slave nephew! ”

When Xu Fatzi was young, he hit too many guns on the fireworks woman who couldn't give birth. He has not yet had children. He regarded Chang Po Nu as his son.

Chang Feng looked at Fat Xu with a grateful gaze.

Xu Fatzi asked: "I said Chang Ye, there is a question I have been wanting to ask you for the past few days." You, who like to focus on the overall situation when handling cases. To put it bluntly, it is with thin mud. Why did you completely tear your face with the civil official this time? ”

Chang Feng said: "There are still three points of fire in the bag. It's really that these corrupt officials are too much. I also figured out that the so-called importance of the overall situation is just a high-sounding reason made up by people in order not to make enemies. ”

Xu Fatzi said: "Actually, I can't blame you for being old and muddy all these years. The emperor was good at everything, but he was too indulgent to civil officials. The first emperor gave three points to the civil officials, what can you do? It can only be 'the big picture'. ”

Chang Feng Zhengse said: "The emperor today is different from the previous emperor. In my opinion, the first emperor was a virtuous king. The current emperor will be a promising monarch in the future. To clean up the government and eliminate the accumulated evils, it is necessary for a promising monarch. ”

Coming out of the Duke's Palace, Chang Feng returned home.

Old Taishan Liu Bingyi has been terminally ill recently and can't get out of bed. found a few groups of famous doctors in Beijing, and the famous doctors asked Chang Feng to prepare for Liu Bingyi's funeral.

Chang Feng's brother-in-law Huang Yuan and his father, the old lame, came to Changfu to tie paper people and paper horses and guide the cranes.

The father and son of the Huang family were born in the white business, and they are skilled in paper work.

Chang Feng entered the mansion and first arched his hand at the old lame: "In-laws, I'm tired of you." ”

The old lame man said, "What is there to bother with?" I'm just afraid that I haven't worked on paper for more than ten years, and my hands are raw. Anything that sticks out must not be on the table. ”

Chang Feng said to Huang Yuan again: "It's difficult for you, a county lord and guest of honor from a Jinshi, to do such a thing." ”

Huang Yuan said: "What did the eldest brother say?" It's all family. ”

At this time, Liu Xiaoyan walked over.

Chang Feng asked Liu Xiaoyan: "How is our father today?" ”

Liu Xiaoyan sighed: "I've been asleep for a day." The water and rice did not come in. When he woke up just now, I fed him half a bowl of porridge and threw up after eating. ”

Twenty years ago, Chang Feng hated Liu Bingyi. Hate his power, hate him for tearing up the marriage contract.

After so many years, the hatred has long since vanished. In its place is an unbreakable family bond.

Chang Feng was very sad when he heard this: "Alas. I really want to honor his old man for another ten or twenty years! ”

Liu Xiaoyan shed tears: "No one can escape birth, old age, and illness. What's the solution? ”
