Chiwuxing

Chapter [-] - The scapegoat comes out of the bell and the official is executed, and the sharp knife in the sheath joins the soldiers.

In the lobby of the Criminal Division.

"Snapped!"

The officer slapped the wood on his seat and said in a solemn voice:

"Zou Qinghai, the official of the money supervisor under the hall, is in charge of minting coins, abusing his personal power, and resorting to fraud. According to Yan's law, he will be beheaded immediately and punished. Is there any objection?"

The two warriors below knelt and handcuffed one man, his clothes were ragged and bloodstained, and at this moment he was extremely stiff and painful, without any strength to resist again.

"...The guilty minister...received the crime and was punished..."

Before the words were finished, someone stepped down from the hall and rudely pressed his finger on the tribute paper with the bloodstains on it.

There were three or five people sitting on a row of chairs at the side, dressed in brocades, with bright faces, watching the movements of the people in the hall with cold eyes, and they were incompatible with the prisoners a few steps away.

"Snapped!"

The token of decapitation was thrown down.

The chief still chose to preserve the last bit of decency of the people below, and did not order him to beheaded at Caishikou to favor the public.

The guillotine was raised, and the bright light flashed——

In an instant, blood splashed.

A round red ball rolled down.

"Snapped!"

Jiang Hua slapped the sandalwood table with his palm, and the thing that was still rolling just now was suddenly pressed under the palm of his hand.

The person kneeling next to him flinched from the sound.

Jiang Hua glanced at him coldly, the usual smiling face was gone at this time, he pinched the round object under his palm with his right hand, and said: "Bao'er, our family really wants to thank you this time. "

The lower head bends lower.

Jiang Hua looked at the copper coin held between his fingertips, and said slowly: "If you don't reveal this matter, how can our family touch the copper coin that has not been touched for decades, and know some people's livelihood diseases? ..."

He looked at the man who was kneeling silently at this moment, his heart became more angry, and he said, "Speak!"

"At the beginning, the people around our family belonged to you, and you would say, why are you pretending to be dumb at this time?"

"Slave... this slave thinks," Dajian He, who has always been eloquent, also stutters like this, "Zou Qinghai's mouth has been completely sealed, even if we continue to investigate thoroughly... how can he not?" It won't come back to you..."

"Ridiculous!" Jiang Hua scolded him, throwing the copper coins from his fingertips directly in his face, and said, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs is only owned by me, Jiang Hua? Then why does our family want you people? Hmph, That's right, if I knew that you guys are so unreliable in doing things one by one, it's better for our family to get on the horse and do it ourselves."

"The manager calms down..."

"He Libao," Jiang Hua would only call him by name when he was extremely annoyed. He was horrified in his heart, "Isn't our family treating you kindly? Yes, our family finally gave it to you after much deliberation, never thought you would be so useless! You know that once the fraudulent casting of money is exposed, even if His Majesty wants to help you, he will not be able to stop the people from mobbing Mouth? You are really fat."

It's not that Jiang Hua doesn't know that although this He Libao is usually under his command, he has a great appetite for money and pleasure, but he is also a person who is pleasing him, so he relies heavily on rewards.And the sting that was exposed this time cannot be cleared up with a few words and a few taels of silver. The whistleblower is determined to teach him to cut off a piece of meat this time.

"The slave is already cautious about his surroundings...but this time he was indeed targeted by someone intentionally," He Libao still wanted to defend, "It's normal to reduce the weight of a few baht in the money, and how can anyone pay attention to it when it's in circulation?" weighing?"

"Feng Yuanshan who reported this matter..." Jiang Hua narrowed his eyes and muttered, "Who is behind him supporting him?"

He Libao's eyes were ruthless: "Feng Yuanshan was able to speak out in front of His Majesty, and even deliberately avoided the usual procedure of performing in private. Obviously, he wanted to come here to catch him off guard... I have never heard of this person being weird Movement and movement, now Chaoshang has stole the limelight..."

"Don't be in a hurry to talk about him," Jiang Hua said coldly, "Feng Yuanshan hadn't directly held Zou Qinghai accountable when he began to report on Supervisor Qian. Why didn't you push him out immediately when you got the news? Instead, Afterwards, let them investigate further, and now Zou Qinghai is involved too. People who have been tortured half to death will not be allowed to admit any crimes, and they will have even more reason to trouble you again after getting the pleadings..."

The more Jiang Hua talked, the more annoyed he became, and said: "You, you are so used to enjoying the blessings that your brain has become dull!"

"When they were looking for criminal evidence, they took samples from the copper coins circulating in the imperial capital," He Libao said. "The few money houses in the imperial capital are monopolized by wealthy households in the capital. The Yuan family...the people in the Judgment Division are not related to them, but the slaves have benefited a lot in private, and there are still people from their own family in the court. Who knew they could do such a thing. At this critical moment All of a sudden, I don't recognize anyone!"

Jiang Hua snorted coldly, and said: "Think about it with your brain! The criminal officials from the Criminal Trial Division have all blocked the door of the house, and the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department is not within the scope of our family's control. It has reached such a point. If you don't follow What are they waiting for if they put their intentions on Qian Jian’s head? Could it be that Qian Zhuang is charged with the crime of beheading?”

"If you are given the steps, you should really go down." Zhang Rui, who was waiting next to him, spoke for He Libao, and said, "It's also unethical. If they are a group of money-smelling profiteers who don't usually respect us and get a little extravagant, When will they take part in the important affairs of the court."

"It's nothing more than seeing our family willing to give up power and doing nothing for more than a year, so I think our family is now in a state of decline," Jiang Hua saw clearly, squinting his eyes and said, "I didn't step on it. Not bad."

"It's already approved and it's different from stepping on us!" Zhang Rui naturally turned the object of his complaints to the wealthy businessmen in Beijing, "It's just a group of people who follow the wind."

"It's a relationship of interests where everyone gets what they need," Jiang Hua said indifferently, "What kind of loyalty do you expect them to show you? I think they didn't say anything more, which means they are doing their best... Bao'er, Say, what are you going to do now?"

"Slave... Isn't this slave here to beg the manager for a way out?" He Libao bowed his head and hesitated.

"Our family will give you a way out?" Jiang Hua sneered, and said, "If you go too far, you can also send our family to a dead end. Although Qian Jian is involved in the minting of coins, he is still a low-ranking young man. Officials, this time, you have been directly pushed in front of others, if you allow them to investigate further down, maybe they will find some dirty things."

After he finished speaking, he fell into deep thought.

Kong left He Libao kneeling on the ground, still trembling with fear, while thinking about when he must find a way to capture Feng Yuanshan and chop him alive for three thousand knives, and on the other hand, he was apprehensive about how it would end next.

Every quarter of an hour is urgent, and there may be someone in the dark rushing to act.

"...Director," He Libao said, "I heard that you had negotiated with Ni Congwen a few days ago..."

"Our family asked about it as soon as it came out." Jiang Hua glanced at him and said, "He claimed that this matter has nothing to do with him. There must be an explanation for the trial department. Ni Congwen is no more than me, and he will not take this matter to risk at this time."

"Then..." He Libao hesitated.

"I usually don't care about my own affairs, but I really have the time to inquire about our family's affairs." Jiang Hua smiled lightly, with a decision in his heart.

He went to find Ni Congwen in private. Although he didn't intentionally keep the information secret, he had to investigate carefully or arrange a dark line of surveillance before he could find out. At this point, Jiang Hua no longer wanted to delve into his thoughts, and said: "He Libao , our family will try our best to protect your life this time. No matter what the result is, our family will leave the matter at hand to Zhuang Deqing and the others to do it for you. As for how to go, our family has no control over it, and will no longer Tube."

He Libao's body shook, and he hurriedly said: "Director...Grandpa, you can't ignore it...Slave..."

"Stand up!" Jiang Hua scolded, for some reason, things piled up now, and the more I looked at this usually pleasing face, the more I felt bored, "If you haven't saved your life, don't worry about other things."

He Libao settled down, made a salute, and said: "...and please give me a way out."

Jiang Hua frowned and said: "From our point of view, we have to find a way out from the root of this matter... Zhang Rui."

"The slave is here."

"My family remembers that the pile of things that Han Huaijin sent earlier are still in the warehouse untouched?" Jiang Hua asked.

"Return to the manager, that's right."

"That's good," Jiang Hua turned to He Libao in front of him, and pondered, "Zou Qinghai has already been dragged in. No matter what confession he was forced to make, it doesn't matter now. The most urgent thing is to find something else to delay That guy Feng Yuanshan will continue to follow the matter of Supervisor Qian to allow some time for him."

"...how will the slaves do it?"

"...Feng Yuanshan...Feng Yuanshan," Jiang Hua squinted his eyes and muttered the name. A small official of the prison department couldn't gather a clear image in front of his eyes, and suddenly said, "The right servant under Shao Qian shot Feng Ru , what does it have to do with him?"

"The slaves have checked their ancestral genealogy before, so they should be considered as cousins." He Libao said.

"Oh?" Jiang Hua was just probing at first, but he didn't expect to be related, "Then he was also behind this incident?"

"The slave originally thought so," He Libao said, "After a long investigation, Feng Ru has always been honest and self-confident to the outside world, and it should be to avoid suspicion. He seldom interacts with this cousin in private, and he has not been found to be involved. What."

"What else does he need to participate in?" Jiang Hua said disdainfully, "He just needs to lend his brother his courage. A small criminal officer dares to stab the top with such a thing, saying that there is no one else to support our family Don't believe it."

"Boss," He Libao said with a deep breath, "I just don't do anything. In the past few days, my servant has ordered a few people to block him outside his mansion secretly, and clean it up."

"Aren't you just going to rush to give someone's head?" Jiang Hua seemed to be annoyed, and then said, "The incident he picked up is now the time when there is a lot of excitement, and the person died suddenly. Not to mention Speaking of whether you can succeed, can you really be sure that he will be cleaned up during this period without leaving any traces? If you let others find out a little bit of information, you are jumping over the wall in a hurry and showing your own feet."

"From our family's point of view, Feng Yuanshan has nothing to do with it. But since he has the guts to make trouble, our family has a way of saying that if he wants to die," Jiang Hua mused, "Feng Ru happened to be Xie Zhi too. The students who were the main examiners of the scientific examination back then, in this way, he and Han Huaijin can be regarded as ordinary brothers of the same school."

He Libao continued: "Feng Ru is a few years older than Han Huaijin. The two of them are scribes who took the exam in the same year, and they have a good personal relationship on weekdays."

"If you have a good personal relationship... that would be interesting," Jiang Hua said with a deep smile, "Feng Yuanshan is now on the cusp of the storm, and our family can't move, but Han Huaijin is different. Thank you two years ago." After Zhi's death, he gave our family some good things in order to succeed him, and our family has never been willing to use them. It seems that today, our family doesn't take advantage of it, and we can just return what we get to him."

It's ridiculous to say that Feng Yuanshan, a sixth-rank criminal officer, is easier to deal with than Han Huaijin, who is a first-rank supervisory censor.

He Libao understood: "What does the manager mean, at this time, use those things from him and turn them around to threaten him?"

"The people brought out by Xie Zhi, no, even Xie Zhi and his group of civil servants love to save face the most. They will not tolerate such bad deeds as bribery. Don't look at just a few things, we can bet ——Han Huaijin, he dare not disobey," Jiang Hua said firmly, "he ate the meal of the supervisory assistant, so he knew the fun, and weighed himself from the beginning, and dared not follow him The teacher openly challenged our family, so he can be stable in this position. Besides, even if there is no gold and silver sent by him, if our family is arbitrarily planted, he will not be able to get rid of it easily."

"Back when our family was prosperous, it was useless for him to come here to flatter and curry favor, but now when it is necessary for us to use it, our family wants to see how capable this scribe is."

"Zhang Rui," Jiang Hua ordered immediately, "I'll go to the warehouse to find the pile of things in a while, and plan to write a list."

"Yes."

"As long as you delay the time, it is enough for you to find and fill in the gaps. There are a lot of interests involved here, and no one wants to expose it. You find a reliable person to go back and help relieve the responsibility, and finally come up with a clear understanding." If you put the blame on Ni Congwen and our family, we won’t investigate further." Jiang Hua looked at He Libao coldly and said, "Our family has told you clearly what to do. Anyway, your life is at stake. You have it in your own hands, as for how to handle it, that’s up to you.”

"Slave understands," He Libao bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness."

Seeing that this incident had to take the initiative to cut out the most lucrative place under his command, the depression and annoyance of the past few days burst out all at once, and he lost his usual smiling demeanor.

Jiang Hua threw the copper coin in his hand forward. Coincidentally, it hit He Libao on the bridge of the nose.

"Go away."

Jiang Hua was lazy to say more, He Libao knew the weight of his words.

The force of the copper coins was not great, but it carried Jiang Hua's usual accuracy in his actions and words, and he was impartial.He Libao's heart turned cold, and he resigned: "This slave will leave."

Just as he walked out of the gate, Zhang Rui chased after him and called out, "He Dajian."

He Libao turned around slowly, feeling embarrassed by this title for the first time, he suppressed his emotions in time, and said, "Eunuch Rui."

"Master He, don't want to frustrate this servant," Zhang Rui said with a startled look, "Recently, the chief executive has had trouble with Jin Duo at the Privy Council, and it's a time of anxiety. Where the words are direct, the supervisor should also be considerate."

"Our family knows it well, so we don't need to say more." After all, Jiang Hua was ready to abandon him. He Libao didn't think there was anything to redeem, so he regained a little pride and said.

Zhang Rui could also see his thoughts, and said again: "According to the order of the chief supervisor, before sunset today, the servants will send the details of the bribe money that Han Huaijin was involved in before to the chief supervisor's mansion. With this reason, the chief supervisor should not worry too much. "

"Well," He Libao responded casually, "Is there anything else?"

Zhang Rui leaned closer to him, and said softly: "Superintendent, there is a word, the servant still has to remind me privately."

"……you say."

"The superintendent acts freely, but at the critical moment, he must not confuse the enemy with himself."

He Libao glanced at him up and down, and said, "How do you say that?"

"In the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are many deployments, but in the end, I am still my own person. The general manager is always generous to his own people. If it is a normal thing, as long as there is no taboo, the general manager will always turn a blind eye. It's over," Zhang Rui said in a low voice, "but your fault this time, chief inspector, is not because of making money here, but because when the chief inspector asked you to restrain yourself from acting with the chief inspector Zhuang, someone under his command leaked some information. Later, the manager sent someone to investigate secretly, and it turned out that the people under your command were linked to the people in the sixth department. After Xie Zhi's death, His Majesty wanted to be cold-hearted, and the manager was caught in a state of embarrassment on all sides, and all the officials were watching Watching him move, why don't you let the manager feel cold when you are like this?"

Seeing that he had made his words clear, He Libao didn't hide anymore, and said coldly: "Then you said, isn't the general manager also looking for backers for his secret visit to the prime minister's mansion? He doesn't allow us to make more troubles, and he waits behind our backs." What's the point of finding a way?"

"It's really different," Zhang Rui said, "but judging from what happened to you this time, Ni Congwen can still try his best to help, but the relationship that the supervisor negotiated before... The slaves think that with their abilities, they must not dare to deal with it at this time." It’s too late to avoid disaster.”

"How long have you been in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" He Libao was slightly irritated by his words, and glared, "In front of our family, how dare you speak so convincingly?"

Although Zhang Rui is not very old, he has been serving Jiang Hua all the time, if he is not a bit smart, he can't stay for long.Coupled with what he has been hearing and seeing for several days, he can match his master's accuracy in discerning people and things.

He sighed slightly: "The slave didn't intend to offend the chief supervisor, but just reminded that sentence casually. The chief supervisor can look at Jia Yun and Jin Duo, who are both eunuchs and deliberately compete with military generals and civil servants , it will definitely not end well in the future, this is because they put on the wrong identity."

"Since those of us were tortured at the beginning, our future road has been blocked by the circle drawn by the eunuch," Zhang Rui said with lowered eyes, "This is what the manager told the servant back then."

He Libao still felt that something was wrong in his heart, because of this unresolved matter, he was reduced to asking a young eunuch in his 20s to remind him?

With a sneer, he said, "Then tell the truth, it's come to this point, is there any room for our family to change in front of the manager?"

Zhang Rui was silent for a moment, and said frankly: "What the manager said, it should be difficult to change."

"Then what's the use of talking about it?" He Libao sneered.

"Then the manager can just be a slave and talk nonsense." Zhang Rui said.

He Libao glanced back and forth at him for a while, still found it ridiculous, and left.

In the barracks, on the training ground, all the soldiers marched on horseback, and the horseshoes raised dust.

After a rest from riding and shooting, as soon as he got off his horse, a soldier approached and said, "Fu Chen, the general called you over just now."

"okay."

Fu Chen stretched out his sleeves and wiped the sweat off his face. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at the viewing platform not far away. He could vaguely see two figures.

He tied the horse to the fence and approached quickly, and it turned out that Liao Hui was talking to the same person on the stage, and there seemed to be a dispute over something.He didn't even notice him up close.

"General." Fu Chen said.

Liao Hui looked back, with an expression of displeasure still on his face, and said: "People from the Gyeonggi Army told you to go back."

The man next to Liao Hui said to him: "Fu Chen, when the Gyeonggi Army was doing the records of the soldiers' life records, they found that there was something wrong with your records. I want you to go back with me."

Fu Chen was startled subconsciously, and saw that the person was an unfamiliar face, and said vaguely: "This... I have told you everything I knew at the beginning... I dare not hide anything..."

Liao Hui interjected, "It's obvious that your Gyeonggi Army is not reliable, and you came to this general to pick up people. Don't delay our training... If this is the case, you can go back and receive the punishment. I won't let people go."

The man panicked, and said to Fu Chen: "Fu Chen, Captain Ji is waiting for you at the school ground in Gyeonggi right now. If you don't leave, you have to think about the consequences."

"A little lieutenant, let him come here in person..." Liao Hui said dissatisfied.

"General," Fu Chen hesitated, "Biao Xia remembered...Maybe it's because he missed something when he first registered, why don't you allow me to leave the camp at a later time, I won't eat tomorrow, so I can take care of the training content that I missed Fill……"

Liao Hui glanced over the two of them, paused, still too lazy to bother about this trivial matter, and said: "Then according to what you said, you will make up for what you have practiced today, and you are not allowed to be lazy."

"Take the lead."

The young man bowed his body and showed a grateful smile. Liao Hui saw how weird his receding back looked, and couldn't think of it, so he let him go.

Fu Chen followed to inform the man to leave the camp along the road, and the man whispered in his ear: "Ji Zhan is waiting outside."

He was startled and said, "Why don't you let him in to lead people?"

Fu Chen thought for a while before this man wasted a lot of talk with Liao Hui, and said: "At least he still has a military rank, if he came in directly, he wouldn't have to explain so much to Liao Hui."

"I also came here according to his orders," the man said, "If Ji Zhan came to pick up people, there would be a lot of questions to ask. If you let someone like me come here, if you really ask something, just say I don’t know, it’s easy to fool me by making up any reason.”

Hearing his familiar tone, Fu Chen couldn't help but turned his head to look at him again. His hands and feet were slender and he was wearing a military uniform, but he looked very strange, so he must not be someone he had seen before.

Fu Chen asked directly: "Are you from the Gyeonggi Army? I've never seen you before."

"I'm not," the man said in a low voice, "I'm from Xiang Ni."

Seeing that he had been exposed to such an extent, Fu Chen asked: "What happened? Are you going to call me out suddenly?"

According to the usual practice, if Ni Congwen had news, he would send a letter directly to enter the camp, and if he had something to do, he would rush back every night or on the soldiers' daily rest day.The Chijia barracks had been training for a long time, so it was the first time in the days when he was in the camp that he was called out by foreign affairs.

"Don't you know the major events that happened in Beijing recently?"

Fu Chen said frankly: "There is no news in the camp. I have been taken out for training these days, and I haven't inquired about the outside... What happened?"

"When you see Ji Zhan later, let him tell you." The man seemed unwilling to say much.

The Chijia Barracks is not so much a separate camp, as it is that the entire eastern suburbs of the imperial capital have been drawn into the territory. Usually, it is convenient to do things in the camp, but if you want to travel out, you have to spend a lot of time.

Fu Chen walked in silence, but the people beside him couldn't help but glanced at him a few times, and said with a little emotion: "They are all doing things for the master, why do they think of you first when they have something to do?"

Fu Chen didn't answer.

"say something."

"Say what?" The young man's eyes were cold, and he let go of his pretentious meekness.

The man's tone was tinged with sarcasm, and said: "I heard that you are more favored by the Prime Minister than me because of your superior family background, but judging by your weak appearance, you don't look like someone from a wealthy family."

Fu Chen found it strange that some people would use his superior family background to speculate on him, but it was a waste of effort.

A half savage who escaped from the mountains, who can't even comprehend human beings, how could he know what is happening in the dream of splendor and prosperity.

"Which rich young man would do things like you and me?" He sneered.

"Why not?" the man asked rhetorically, "There are orphans who are down and out and then go to ask for a way out, but they still do things for others in secret, isn't it just the turn of feng shui."

Fu Chen was not in the mood to chat with him, after several silences, he left the camp, and saw Ji Zhan waiting for him at the entrance of the camp leading his horse.

The three returned to Beijing quietly on horseback, and Fu Chen also learned the latest news from Ji Zhan.

It turned out that the reason was that the officials of the Judiciary Department told the emperor that there was a serious shortage of adulterated copper coins in circulation, and that the people in the money prison secretly enriched their own pockets under the guise of making coins.

The bank owned by wealthy households in Beijing has been strictly controlled by the government. It is precisely to slow down the large circulation of copper coins when the root cause of the picketing is now in order to prevent someone from intentionally withdrawing huge amounts of copper coins in advance during the rectification process. After the currency system is settled difference.Therefore, the people in the capital are already panicked, and the people in other cities are also staring at the actions of the imperial court in the capital.

"What do you mean, He Libao intends to let Yu Shiyan testify against the head of the criminal department, and then try to get rid of the charges at this time?" Fu Chen pondered.

"That's right," Ji Zhan said, "Now that memorial is under the door of Zhongshu, and Xiangye has read it personally."

Fu Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "Master Xiang wants to allow him to gain opportunities by framing?"

Ji Zhan looked at the young man's gloomy face, and said, "Master Xiang should have his own considerations, and there is no need for you and me to discuss the specific reasons."

"...what should I do?" Fu Chen said to himself after asking, "There must be someone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who knows the inside story, especially He Libao is in charge of the rest of the people, and the money prison is not a small amount. Why don't you just kidnap people and torture them ?”

"Don't worry about it," Ji Zhan said, "What Xiangye said is that He Libao deliberately created a situation where thieves shouted to catch thieves, and directly planted it in several copper mine smelting furnaces in his city to the trial department. Judge."

"So let's take He Libao out and kill him, not to mention taking people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs at this time. The false impression that the criminal officer deliberately silenced after leaking the incident, you are just taking advantage of the people in the Internal Service Bureau."

"Master Xiang wants to let him shirk his responsibility this time, and he wants to try to attack the Ministry of Internal Affairs again. Is it possible... what else does Master Xiang have?" Fu Chen wondered.

"No, what was told is," Ji Zhan whispered in Fu Chen's ear even in the small and empty room, "Kill Zhuang Deqing."

Fu Chen was taken aback for a moment, feeling even more suspicious.

Ji Zhan then explained in a low voice: "No matter what the reason for Xiangye to sell Jiang Hua's face, so that He Libao will not be exposed, they have invested so much money, just let him be proud for a while. Now it is Jiang Hua When he was exhausted physically and mentally, he had long been suspicious of He Libao, He Libao and Zhuang Deqing were both Jiang Hua's right-hand men, if he could take this opportunity to knock them down at one stroke, he would undoubtedly lose his wings."

Fu Chen understood what he meant, but said: "There are also our people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If we want to try to assassinate, regardless of the cost and consequences, it will not be difficult."

"That's right, so the key is to weave a crime that makes Jiang Hua suspicious." Ji Zhan said.

Fu Chen stared at his chin, and seeing that Ji Zhan suddenly stopped talking, he frowned and said, "What's the matter, let's continue."

Ji Zhan laughed and said mockingly: "I said, everything has been arranged clearly, why did I call you out of the Red Armor Barracks all the way, when will I need to report to you..."

"...Then you really trust me, and I may not be able to come up with any good solutions." Fu Chen said with a complicated heart.

"What can you believe in a child who seems to have no experience in the world at first glance?" Ji Zhan said bluntly, "This is just a special order from the Prime Minister. The one who went to the camp to call you just now followed the Prime Minister. It’s not been a year or two, but he really wants to show his skills, but it’s not his turn. You are a newcomer who has not been here for a long time, so you should be grateful.”

When he first met the young man a year ago, he still stuttered rigidly and stubbornly for doing things, and the bowed head, low waist, and hunched back were obviously a native look that attracted people to bully.

The only thing that caught his attention was when he actually saw someone coming to provoke him, the kid was surprisingly tough and ruthless when fighting.Although the moves were messed up, and there were even obscene tricks that could only be used by some street hooligans, but that desperate energy was enough to deter other provocateurs.

Ni Congwen has always delivered letters separately to their secret guards, so as to reduce communication with each other.Although he didn't know the origin of this kid, but he rarely saw the prime minister let this kind of newcomer participate in such a slightly careless and messy matter. I don't know if Ni Congwen is overconfident, or he really has some extraordinary skills.

"Let me think..." Fu Chen turned around, facing the wall behind him.

Just now, Ji Zhan's words didn't make him feel flattered, the pleasure of killing the enemy with his own hands turned out to be the reward that everyone rushed to, how could he not know the good and the bad?

"...Jiang Hua has always been cunning and scheming. If he is convinced, it's better to ask someone he knows well to remind him." Fu Chen took a deep breath.

"How to say?" Ji Zhan raised his eyebrows.

The young man's eyes flickered, and he said: "One year ago, the capital official Su Dingnan was demoted to another city, and his only son Su Rang was assassinated and killed. In the end, although a culprit was found, there have always been rumors about why Li Bao went to the city after he made a profit. Silence. How about sending a letter to the Su family in the name of Zhuang Deqing first, secretly confirming the news, so that the Su family will come to Beijing to question Jiang Hua and sow suspicions."

"It's been a year...they still take the risk to pursue the blame from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Ji Zhan wondered.

"It will definitely," Fu Chen replied firmly, as if a curtain of torch-wreathed night fell before his eyes, the shouts of men and women were mixed and loud, and the voices of mourning were endless, "When Su Rang died, because more than half of his body was decayed, Later, he was asked to be cremated. At that time, his parents and relatives saw him off in person. Hearing that Su Dingnan was old enough to have a son, he spoiled him so much that he even went with him to practice martial arts. Their Su family would not Let it go."

"What's more, since they were demoted, Su Dingnan's relationship with the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been severed. The Prime Minister ordered me to deliver a letter to express his friendship before. They will do as they say."

Ji Zhan saw that Fu Chen's eyes were much darker, and asked again: "Just such a incident gave him a reason to kill, is it too casual?"

"Indeed," Fu Chen said, "There is something more deadly missing."

"According to what you just said, He Libao intends to 'call the thief to catch the thief', so let him get away with it first. After Zhuang Deqing's death, he will forge a few letters and other evidence that he colluded with the criminal officer before his death. I am familiar with this " Fu Chen said with a smile that was not a smile, "Before He Libao had private dealings with officials in the court because I pretended to be caught by his eunuchs. Later, after Jiang Hua was inquired by others, he personally interrogated me, so I had to 'unintentionally' It was revealed to him. Follow the exact same trick this time, and find an insider from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do it, and it shouldn’t go wrong.”

"It turns out that you were arrested on purpose..." Ji Zhan frowned. He didn't say much derogatory words to him because of this incident, "Why didn't you make it clear at the time?"

"You were the one who came here to lead people back then. I thought you knew the reason," Fu Chen said, "I think this may be the reason why Xiangye called me out... If it wasn't for the inconvenience in the Red Armored Army, I would Might as well try to go again.”

He always thought that Fu Chen was being sloppy and incompetent when he was secretly caught in the handcuffs by the people under He Libao.Later, when Ni Congwen ordered him to publicly mention him, he still didn't know the inside story. He only remembered that the kid was covered in blood and torture marks, and secretly scolded him as a waste. orifice.

"He Libao and the others have seen you before, so what's the use of you going again?" Ji Zhan said, "...I've remembered everything you said, and I'll find someone to make arrangements when I go back... You finally came out, and you have to turn around again Shall we go to Xiangfu?"

"...No need," Fu Chen's eyes were full of tiredness, and he said, "If you have something to do, tell the Prime Minister, I will go as I want... What is it?"

Ji Zhan was very contradictory. As far as he knew, the young man in front of him had always been favored by Ni Congwen. He was even arranged to secretly mention him when he just joined the auxiliary army. The villain in the open and the dark is playing fiercely, and if it were someone else he knew, he would have to be disciplined for seven or eight years first.

The result is that she has suffered a lot in the past few days, and her obvious eccentricity has finally become a scar that keeps her in danger.He was on the verge of lamenting what kind of painstaking efforts it took to sharpen him for favoring one end to be cruel. If it was for his future future, it would be that Xiangye was too condescending and hard-hearted.

"...I will send a letter to find the spies from the Ministry of Internal Affairs during the night watch. We have to figure this matter out again." Ji Zhan said, withdrawing his scrutiny.

"it is good."
