Since the short-lived Xichang and Inner Factory were abolished during the Zhengde period, the Jinyifang yamen between Jinyiwei Back Street and Jiangmi Lane on the south side of the imperial city, and the outer east side of the Dongchang Hutong on the east side of the imperial city were the only two most mysterious places in the entire capital. However, during the entire Jiajing period, except for the most popular years when Lu Bing was in the hottest, most of the factory guards were very restrained at other times, especially the Dongchang, who was always suppressed by the Jinyiwei. It was not until Emperor Wanli ascended the throne that Feng Bao, who once admired the East Factory, suddenly became the eunuch in charge of the seal and the first in the inner court, and this situation turned over.
After many years, the East Factory has finally truly overwhelmed the Jinyiwei!
Therefore, everyone around Feng Bao was able to come and go freely in this mysterious East Factory in the eyes of outsiders, including Xu Jue, who was once just a fleeing army.
Xu Jue was 45 years old this year, a few years older than You Qi. Because he was exiled to Gansu in his early years, his face still had traces of his wandering life. He was not old, and his forehead was like a knife carving. Although he had lived in the Feng family for many years, his skin on his face was still rough and a little uncomfortable. With that gloomy look, someone kept complaining behind his back why Feng Bao was willing to accept him as a guest. In addition to his crimes, he even found an official position in the Nanzhen Fushi.
In the eyes of others, his current situation is like a smoke from the ancestral tomb, but Xu Jue was not satisfied. Originally, the power of punishment was in the Beizhen Fushi Department, but over the years, whenever the cases that require the trial of the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Justice and the Three Censorate of the Censorate, the only one who attends the Jinyiwei Tishuai, and the Beizhen Fushi Department is not on the way, let alone the Nanzhen Fushi Department, which has only one name?
However, he would never dare to show any resentment in front of Feng Bao, so as not to think that this Shou Gu would be dissatisfied with his status. However, whether it was the Inspector of the East Factory or the Small School, many people guessed that he had ambition. For his solid position in front of Feng Bao, people would always report all kinds of confidential information to him first.
Therefore, after Wang Chonggu became the Minister of War through the court, Xu Jue naturally knew about Wang Fulin at the first time. Through the intelligence network of the East Factory, he quickly realized the role of You Qi, the "old friend", in it, and naturally he could not avoid making plans.
In recent years, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng have cooperated very well, one inside the palm and the other outside the palm. In the past five years, Feng Bao has hardly refuted Zhang Juzheng's face, but Zhang Juzheng has always maintained considerable respect for Feng Bao and has given gifts all the time during the holidays. However, Xu Jue, as Feng Bao's capable aide, and with Zhang Juzheng's confidant family slave You Qi, is a bridge between the exchanges between the internal and external ministers, but he has always had a sense of competing.
At this moment, he was sitting in the room specially set up for him in the Foreign East Factory, and said to a confidant captain with a smile: "You have made great contributions to this time when you find out so many clues. I will naturally be rewarded if you look back."
"That's a young man, I thank Lord Xu!" The captain knew that Xu Jue didn't like the title of Mr. Xu, and was more keen on other people's titles. Therefore, he was surprised and happy and naturally flattered. Then he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, but as soon as he stood up, a voice came from outside.
"Mr. Xu, something happened to Mr. Feng!"
The so-called Mr. Feng, Xu Jue, knew that he was Feng Bao's nephew Feng Bangning. However, Feng Bangning was a little polite to others when he did what Feng Bao ordered. He was always arrogant and domineering. Because Feng Bao had no son, he treated his nephew as a son, and his entourage was given enough. Therefore, Xu Jue couldn't figure out what would happen to Feng Bangning. But he was Feng Bao's disciple and aide, and Feng Bangning was also half a young master, so he stood up without thinking and walked out quickly. He heard that Feng Bangning was fighting in the street, and his mouth twitched twice.
If this is a civil servant, at most he will fight with Feng Bangning, and he will never roll up his sleeves and go there himself. But except for the in-laws in Li, the rest of the nobles definitely don’t have the courage to fight with. Who did they fight with?
But the school that reported the incident could not explain clearly for a while, and only knew that the place of the fight was at the intersection of Dong'anmen Street and Chongwenmenli Street, not far from here. Xu Jue didn't have time to ask more questions. In the purpose of bringing more people without suffering, he brought all the twenty-two school lieutenants in the Foreign East Factory. However, the capital was not allowed to rush horses, even the powerful people. Even if they were from the Eastern Factory, they did not dare to make any violations. Therefore, Xu Jue took a few people to trot the horses, and the dozen young people were young and had good physical strength, and they simply took a shortcut and ran over with two legs, but none of them felt tired.
It is best to let Mr. Feng see his sweat when he gets there, and I think he will also appreciate their attentiveness.
However, when more than 20 people, including Xu Jue, arrived there almost without knowing that the intersection was surrounded by people. What they saw was not the scene of Feng Bangning being bullied, but the young master Feng was chasing and beating a young man with a whip in his hand. The beaten man ran away while holding his head and cursing. Xu Jue breathed a sigh of relief at first, but when the conversation between the two sides passed the noisy crowd watching the fun and a few words came to his ears, he suddenly changed his face.
"Feng Bangning, don't go too far. You are the nephew of Eunuch Feng, but I am also from the Zhang family!"
"Jhang's dog is just a dog, and he dares to bark in front of me?"
"I have already apologized to you, and you still scold me, so what if I still say that? If you do it again, I will report to the Prime Minister when I go back!"
"The Chief Supervisor will stand up for you like a long-term team! Dream!"
Seeing Feng Bangning cursing and whip down hard, Yao Kuang was almost mad. He was just following the order of Zhang Juzheng to send a message to Yin Zhengmao's house, who was also resting today. Who knew that he would meet the drunk Feng Bangning halfway, and Feng Bangning rode his horse well and suddenly fell down in front of him for no reason. Seeing Feng Bangning appearing ugly, he couldn't help laughing for a moment, but was seen by this guy. He grabbed him and refused to say anything, and even kowtowed in the street to admit his mistake!
Although he was just a squad leader and a slave, because he came from the Zhang family, even when he was in the party of high-ranking officials, others were polite to him. He had never suffered such a silence. Naturally, he gritted his teeth and fought with Feng Bangning over and over again. The two followers around Feng Bangning were just swaying at first, but when he saw that he was young and strong, he still had the upper hand. He didn't know who secretly handed the whip to Feng Bangning. Now, he suffered a great loss with bare hands. He was just now and was beaten up. He didn't know how many whips he had been hit on his body, and the scorching pain was heartbroken.
Seeing that another whip flew down at this moment, Yao Kuang gritted his teeth and raised his left arm to block it. He didn't care about the pain, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the whip and pulled it hard, finally snatching the weapon that had been stained with no amount of blood. Although he wanted to wave the whip and give Feng Bangning a fierce blow to avenge the previous one, Feng Bangning opposite was a drunken drunk who was half drunk, and he could make a sound when he beat him up, but Feng Bangning was an official. If he couldn't help but fight back, he wouldn't be able to explain clearly by then his master's family was a man of a strict manner.
So Yao Kuang suppressed his anger, took a whip in one hand and took a few steps back, then shouted loudly: "Feng Bangning, wait and see!"
When Xu Jue discovered that Feng Bangning was fighting, he rushed to the front of the crowd with two people, but found that the person who had just been beaten was gone, and Feng Bangning was furious. Although he had not yet arrived in front of Feng Bangning, he knew that he was obviously drunk. He immediately skipped his heart and ordered the followers beside him to quickly disperse the crowd. Then he walked up quickly. He coughed heavily. When Feng Bangning turned his head to look over, he immediately said, "Young Master Feng, Eunuch Feng sends a message to see you at the factory in the East."
If Xu Jue directly persuaded him, Feng Bangning would be drunk now and his relatives would not recognize him, and he might have vented his anger. But when he heard the three words "Eunuch Feng", he immediately shivered, and his mind was full of alcohol and dissolved three points. He was noisy, and there was no excuse for him. Feng Bangning's two followers found that a street fight had actually alarmed Xu Jue, and he didn't even dare to let go. He watched Xu Jue send two people to support him directly, or he would just fight Feng Bangning and leave. After a while, he realized and chased him.
Until he brought the person to the Outing Factory, Xu Jue found an empty room to settle Feng Bangning sober up, and then he quickly wrote a handwritten letter, telling the story of Feng Bangning as a slave in Zhang Juzheng's family. After the initial mentality of watching the excitement turned into inexplicable surprise, he had already recognized that Yao Kuang, the chief squad of the Zhang family, who was quite handsome, but at this moment he decided to be a little vague in the letter, and then he found an internal official who was permanently stationed in the Outing Factory and asked someone to send a message to Feng Bao. However, half an hour later, when the internal official came back in a hurry, he told him something bad news.
Feng Bao accompanied Empress Dowager Cisheng Li to Wanshou Mountain. He was unable to get close to him, so he could only leave the letter to Feng Bao, a close godson.
It is said that Feng Bangning, Feng Bao's nephew, beat Zhang Juzheng a slave while drunk, as the size of a needle hole, but Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng were both internal and external ministers, and they always cooperated. Of course, Xu Jue did not dare to take it lightly. He heard that Feng Bangning was still sleeping soundly. On the one hand, he envied such a guy who had caused trouble but was still unaware of it, but at the same time he had to use his brain urgently. Finally, he simply left a word for the previous internal official and rushed to Zhang Grand Secretary's Mansion in Dashamao Hutong.
He was Feng Bao's confidant and came and went here many times, but today he just arrived at the door and found that the doorman's eyes were strange. He suddenly felt a sudden slap in his heart and secretly scolded Feng Bangning to death.
I am still very reliable in the Jinyiwei, but how could I suddenly become so drunk today! People from other families beat me and beat me, but how could even beat me without saying a word from the Zhang family? Didn’t this arouse public anger?
After a few greetings with the door, Xu Jue asked with a smile: "Can Brother You Qi be here?"
"It's here, but..." The concierge deliberately dragged a long voice, then lowered his voice and said, "Master Qi must be talking to the master at this moment. I'm afraid it's not convenient to see Master Xu. Having said that, the master happened to send someone to send a letter to Eunuch Feng before. Master Xu, you are here just right."
Oh no, Zhang Juzheng was so coincidental that he was at home today?
Before Xu Jue could object, he saw another gatekeeper rushing into the inside to report. He knew that he could not turn his head and leave at this time, so he could only bit the bullet and be invited into the hall to wait. This wait took a quarter of an hour, but in the end, You Qi quickly walked out. You Qi, who had always been warm on Xu Jue's face, had a gloomy face. As soon as he met, he snorted coldly: "Master Xu is coming quickly. I heard that the people who dispersed the crowd on Dong'anmen Street were from Dongchang? The prime minister had already ordered someone to tie Yao Kuang and was about to send it to Eunuch Feng. Master Xu might as well take the person away."
Seeing You Qi nodding slightly, someone pushed Yao Kuang, who was tied up in a big tie, and Xu Jue caught him off guard and quickly yelled: "I came for this matter. How could I tell you where I could just cry when I saw the prime minister crying? To be honest, Mr. Feng is still drunk in the foreign factory. I don't know what happened. Brother Yao, please tell me clearly. If Mr. Feng is really wrong, Mr. Feng will definitely make a decision."
Speaking of this, Xu Jue went up to untied Yao Kuang's rope. Yao Kuang struggled symbolically for a few times, but in the end he was afraid that he would be sent to Feng Bao. At that time, God knew how the cruel Feng Bao would deal with such a small slave as him. So he didn't dare to add fuel to the fire, so he just explained the whole story honestly, and then said with a little aggrieved and resentful: "Even if I went to apologize afterwards, I would kowtow in the street and admit my mistakes. Young Master Feng is too difficult! Besides, he hit me from beginning to end, and I never touched half of his finger!"
After Xu Jue arrived, he only saw Feng Bangning beating people. Yao Kuang just robbed the whip and ran away in the end. He knew that this was probably the truth. But the more the truth was, the more he knew that this matter was extremely troublesome. But when he saw a mocking smile appearing from the corner of his eyes, he stood there. When he really turned his head to look over, the smile immediately disappeared and turned into a worried face. He couldn't help but have a faint but unstoppable thought.
After comforting Yao Kuang for a few words, he was about to say goodbye and leave, but he didn't expect that You Qi would take Yao Kuang and him to see Feng Bao, which made him feel even more inappropriate.
As soon as he left the Zhang Mansion gate, he saw You Qi and Yao Kuang, who were riding on the horse, and suddenly had an idea.
Through the secret spy from the East Factory, he just discovered that You Qi was playing with power and played with Wang Chonggu, Zhang Siwei and Zhang Han. Feng Bangning beat Yao Kuang, the chief squad of the Zhang Mansion. How could such a coincidence happen in the world? And he remembered that Yao Kuang was the person who was most known as Zhang Juzheng among several chief squads of the Zhang Mansion. Therefore, although he was a little arrogant, Zhang Juzheng only restrained and scolded him, and was not harsh. Moreover, Yao Kuang was also proficient in writing and stating. If he continued to be so favored, it might threaten You Qi's status, but maybe it might be.
Could it be that this scene is not a coincidence?
