Chapter 723 The Way of Revenge
"The mountains are high and the rivers are long, and I don't know if there is still a chance to see you again. Please take care of yourself, Lord Dong." Wang Yin bowed his fists and said with a smile: "Just go to sea from Tianjin, there will be people who will respond along the way, and there will be no mistakes."
"Thank you, Mr. Shi Yue." Dong Fen sighed and looked at the gray capital. In the night, it was like a giant beast with a big mouth, devouring the lives of many people.
I remember that I was full of energy and full of vigor, but now my temples are gray and I have lost my real name. It's really a failure.
Then I thought, as a member of the Stern Party, I had no good reputation, and it would be better if I died. I lived for two lifetimes, but others would not have such a blessing.
"It is best if Lord Dong can think openly. The sea in the southeast is opened. It has been turned upside down in just six or seven years. In another ten or twenty years, it may not be like that. Lord Dong will have the opportunity to become famous again."
"Borrowing the auspicious words of Shi Yuegong." Dong Fen suddenly said, "I am leaving now. I was thinking of leaving a suicide note and bit Xu Jie to death. Why did Lord Tang disagree?"
"Hahaha." Wang Yin smiled slightly, "Dongweng made antelope hanging horns, flying fairy outside the sky. You can slowly stumble and figure it out, and you can settle those pirate leaders."
Wang Yin smiled and sent Dong Fen away. He stayed in Tongzhou for one night before returning to the capital. As soon as he came back, he found that the capital was full of discussion, especially the teahouses and theaters, and it was so lively.
After listening carefully, all I said was Zhao Zhenji's big fuss in the cabinet.
All kinds of jokes appear vividly, which made Wang Yin stunned. People's imagination is really strong. This is also Tang Yi's cleverness. If things are confirmed, it will be boring. If there is a little incompleteness, people will make up for it themselves and perform it in a big way, which will become more and more uncontrollable.
Yesterday, Zhao Zhenji, Zhu Heng and Mao Kai went to the cabinet. Xu Jie, Tang Shunzhi, Li Chunfang, and the three cabinet masters were all working. As soon as they met, Zhao Zhenji went straight in.
"Your Madam Qi, Lord Dong Fen is dead!"
Xu Jie actually got the news before they came. In fact, for more than an hour, Mr. Xu has been staring at a memorial and has not even turned the page.
Anger and strong anger almost burned Xu Jie.
A third-rank official was burned to death by fire for no reason, and it is also rumored that this person had a connection with him. A big pot of dirty water was poured on Xu Jie's body.
Since entering the officialdom, Xu Jie has not suffered such a big loss in the past few decades. He is solid and can't even find any room for refutation.
What a plan Tang Yi is like? It's so cruel!
When Xu Jie saw Zhao Zhenji and others coming, he threw the memorial to the side and smiled and said, "Do you come here, but you want to take me?"
Zhao Zhenji was stunned when asked, and Zhu Heng hurriedly bowed and said, "Yuan Weng is too worried. I am here to ask Yuan Weng for advice on some things, and I would like to ask Yuan Weng to make it clear."
Xu Jie was very unhappy when he was questioned by his subordinates, but what could he do? Will he have an attack? He only left a handle for others. The fists caged in his cuffs were clenched tightly, and the joints turned white. Xu Jie suddenly smiled and said, "Ask, I know everything."
"Thank you, Yuanweng, for your magnanimity." Zhu Heng said with a serious expression, "I would like to ask Yuanweng, have you ever seen Dong Fen these days?"
"No, I have been on duty in the cabinet, I have not gone home, and Dongfen has not entered the duty room. Everything has been recorded, so you just need to check it." Xu Jie said frankly.
Zhu Heng breathed a sigh of relief. If Xu Jie had met Dong Fen, it would be hard to explain, but it was still impossible to prove Xu Jie's innocence at the moment.
"The official dared to ask for advice. Yuan Weng promised to open the door and protect Yan Shifan's life?"
"Nonsense!" Xu Jie was very good at qi cultivation, but there were times when he couldn't help it. Yan Dang was one of his secrets. Last year, Tang Yi took Miss Xu's affairs and almost pissed Xu Jie to death. Later, Zhang Juzheng instigated people to impeach Tang Yi. Xu Jie also deliberately gave Tang Yi good looks and acquiesced to indulge, which led to the current situation.
"Zhu Shu, as the chief minister, I am in charge of the cabinet. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, I dare not step beyond the line. The Yan Shifan case was handed over to your three courts for handling, and there has not been a trial yet. How can I make a fuss about it? How can I commit favoritism and fraud? Could it be that I gave gifts to you three, or did I have any advice? Just show evidence?"
He is worthy of being the prime minister, his level is high, and Zhu Heng is speechless when he grabs the ball. But don’t forget that there is another Zhao Zhenji, the old man is so old that he will never bow his head for the rest of his life.
"Shi Xiang, you are the commander of all officials. We respect them all. You are welcome to say that the commander is the conscience of the court and the role model of scholars all over the world." Zhao Zhenji first gave him a few high hats and changed the subject. "Shi Xiang, as we all know, Zhang Juzheng is your disciple. You have been promoted many times and have received great kindness from this person. However, his housekeeper You Qi went to Baiyun Temple and took more than 2 million taels of dirty silver from Yan Hu, the son of Yan Shifan, which was seen by the officials with his own eyes. There is no mistake. I wonder what you always think should be dealt with?"
Zhao Zhenji stared at Xu Jie with both eyes. As long as Xu Jie still protects Zhang Juzheng, he will really have an attack. Xu Jie is old and can't tell where he can't see it.
Of course he hated Zhang Juzheng, but he hated that Zhang Juzheng was too young and too stupid, and was fooled by others.
Unlike before, he could even blame Yan Ne. This time, Zhang Juzheng directly intervened and even got a foot in the mud. The confidant housekeeper was arrested. No matter how he explained, he was afraid that he would not be able to explain clearly!
Xu Jie really regretted why he chose him as the successor of the robe and mantle? Now that things have happened, Zhao Zhenji came to force the palace and did not hand over the person, it would definitely not work. However, as a teacher, the charge of being a poor discipline fell on his head.
It was a dilemma, and the two sides were in a stalemate for five minutes.
"Come."
Xu Jie ordered in a muffled voice: "Go and call Zhang Juzheng and let the three adults ask questions here."
"Affect the order."
Not long after, Zhang Juzheng rushed over. His face was so white that it was so white that it was actually covered with tea on his official uniform. He showed an embarrassing and down-and-out side in front of everyone. It was really shocking.
He got the news earlier than Xu Jie. You Qi was caught. He buzzed his head, screamed bitterly, and then fainted.
It’s not that he has a bad heart, but that You Qi is so important. In the past ten years, there have been too many things under the table, which were handled by You Qi, and there are many fatal transactions. If Lei Qi is shaken out, he will be ruined.
Zhang Juzheng was in a state of dismay, his confidence was destroyed and he was almost destroyed. He took great pains to make up his mind and all the arrows shot turned toward him.
It's so ridiculous. It turns out that I'm so weak and worthless. I suddenly heard countless sarcastic laughter in my ears, and faces appeared one by one, and finally turned into Tang Yi's hateful face!
"Die, I'll let you die!"
He went crazy and stretched out his hands and grabbed them everywhere. With excitement, he touched the teapot on the ground, and a clamor sound seemed to remind Zhang Juzheng.
He pounced around, grabbed the bottles and jars, and fell a broken, messy robe, splashed with tea on it. Zhang Juzheng didn't care about anything, hugged his head, and tears rolled in a pile of fragments.
"Defeated, completely defeated!" The infinite darkness swallowed Zhang Juzheng, tore him to pieces, chewed him, and even swallowed the leather and bones.
"Hahaha, sir, did you hear that Zhao Zhenji was in the cabinet office and interrogated Zhang Juzheng, questioning him in a mess, saying that he was a villain who was conspiring and tricked, and he was a hypocrite who was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. He was betrayal, disturbed the court, clinged to the traitor, and didn't know his own interests and scolded him well. It sounded like I had been in a pool in Tsinghua University for a day, and my pores were all open. It was comfortable, so comfortable!"
"fart!"
Wang Yin said bluntly: "Brother Ju Zhang, no matter how much you say, it is useless. Can you look at something essential?" Shen Mingchen's mouth moved, not understanding why.
"It's all a joke in the capital, isn't it really essential?"
Mao Kun shook his head and said, "Brother Ju Zhang, the cabinet questioning can be called interrogation? If Zhao Zhenji really wants to interrogate Zhang Juzheng, he will just take the person to the Heavenly Prison of the Ministry of Justice, that's it."
"It makes sense too!"
Shen Mingchen finally woke up, "So Zhao Zhenji actually covered up Zhang Juzheng?"
"No." Wang Yin smiled and said, "It's not about covering up, but there is no sufficient evidence."
"What other evidence do you need?" Shen Mingchen said in surprise: "You Qi went to Yan Hu's place to get the silver. Zhao Zhenji arrested him. Dong Fen was burned to death by fire. Everyone in the capital knows."
"It's because I was burned to death, and there is no evidence. Why do you say that Xu Jie killed someone?"
"That's right!" Mao Kun said: "As long as Zhang Juzheng bit You Qi to death, he went to get evidence, and the rest said he didn't know. What else could he do? As for Dong Fen's death, it was said to be a revenge, suicide, and accidentally set fire. In short, there were many reasons. It was still very difficult to implicate Dao Xu Jie!"
Shen Mingchen was stunned for a moment, "Good, as you say, we tried our best to design the trap, and Zhang Juzheng could not take it down, and Xu Jie could not threaten it. Wouldn't we be in vain!"
"No, no!" Mao Kun shook his head like a rattle.
"Brother Ju Zhang, you are so confused. Some people don't need evidence." Mao Kun said with a smile.
Shen Mingchen lowered his head, thought for a long time, and suddenly shouted in surprise: "Censor, the news of the news!"
I understand, finally I understand!
Shen Mingchen smiled and said, "Xu Huating, Xu Huating, aren't you protecting the words? Aren't you the speaker innocent? This time, let the censor catch up on the wind and shadows and arrange the stories to see how you defend it! This is much more refreshing than woven accusations for him!"
"When using your spear to attack your shield, Xu Huating always acts as a pawn with a censor. To eliminate dissidents, it is time to taste the bitter wine he brewed!" Wang Yin smiled and said, "Congratulations to Brother Ju Zhang, you finally figured it out."
Shen Mingchen smiled bitterly, "If you are with you foxes, you have to gain some skills."
Tang Yi smiled rare: "Three gentlemen, the whole roasted lamb was prepared in the backyard. The lamb outside the mouth was fat and tender, without any odor. A big bowl of wine and big mouthfuls of meat, celebrate it well."
