The county magistrate has no time to save the world

Chapter 109 frame the blame
Frame the blame.

Although Zheng Nian regards Zhang Lie as a friend, he really can't afford to throw his head and blood, so he will not rush to the front line to explain the truth to Zhang Lie, analyze the stakes, and just give him the best way.

"Tell your father." Zheng Nian said.

"My father is in the palace, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry was transferred to the Taixue Academy. Liu Zaifu hosted a banquet today." Zhang Lie said truthfully, "Daddy will not come back when Zaifu hosts banquets on weekdays."

Prime Minister of the Great Zhou, Liu Zhishan?

Zheng Nian began to examine, coincidence or deliberate?Mr. Liao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, has been transferred?Taixuefu?Out of reach?
"How many servants does the Ministry of Industry currently have?" Zheng Nian asked.

"There is only one." Zhang Lie said.

That is to say, after Mr. Liao was transferred and left, it is possible that Zhang Lie's father would directly act as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

"Go check it out, the whole family can't be ambiguous." Zheng Nian stood up and said, "They will hide a lot of evidence, if I guess correctly, someone will sue your father in front of His Majesty tomorrow morning , within half an hour, Jin Yiwei came to search."

Zhang Lie didn't dare to be negligent, this was related to the heads of the whole family, so he rushed out immediately.

Zheng Nian stopped him again, "Don't tell anyone, you two should check!"

"Okay!" Zhang Lie looked at Zheng Nian differently now.

Zheng Nian stood up slowly and searched the study.

Of course he couldn't feel Zhang Lie's urgency if this kind of thing didn't hit him, but he could imagine the anxiety and upset in the face of this kind of thing. Under such circumstances, upset would definitely cause trouble.

On the contrary, Zheng Nian is very calm at this time, so it is perfect for him to find the most complicated study room.

There are indeed a lot of documents and chapters here, all of which are internal affairs of the Ministry of Industry, a large number of records and drawings, and letters to communicate with other officials.

Nothing special.

Finally, a three-foot-square wooden box was found under the corner of Zhang Yuanbo's desk. Zheng Nian sat on the ground and opened the wooden box, which contained blueprints.

As written in the above document, this is the sacrificial hall prepared for His Majesty the Emperor's Dragon Birthday.

It was built in the inner city outside the palace, and now it is in a state of rush. The blueprint is too complicated, and Zheng Nian can't understand it at all, and it is not the floor plan of the building he has seen before, but the structure of each floor. picture.

are separated.

There are five floors in total.

Zheng Nian was at a loss. In his era, such a fortification would have taken at least a few months to complete, and at most it would have taken a year and a half. But now it will be completed in only three months. It is indeed a miracle. words.

Combine the drawings and return them to their original places.

It took an hour to search the entire study, and now it is only an hour and a half away from the court, so he has to hurry up.

The room on the side is Zhang Boyuan's bedroom. Now Zhang Boyuan's wife has returned to the house and has already rested.

Not in a hurry for the time being, I went to the main hall first.

The furnishings in the main hall are very simple, one of the eight chairs is an altar, and behind the altar is the statue of Avalokitesvara.

At this season, the maid, Ding, had already rested, and he was the only one in the whole hall. Zheng Nian first put his hands together and bowed to Guanyin, and then went around to the back.

Opening the yellow cloth bag, a letter and a dozen ingots of gold were revealed inside.

"It's such a big deal in planting these days?" Zheng Nian couldn't help but secretly surprised, and sighed, "Master Minister, I'm also here to save you, you have to understand my hard work."

He said and put all the gold into his arms.

Open the letter again.

【Brother Boyuan, I have been waiting on the mountain in Tongxiang County outside Beijing for many years. This is the looted money. Now I offer it with both hands. I still hope for the eleven lives. Don’t say anything. 】

This method is indeed clumsy, but effective.

Zheng Nian threw the letter paper into the incense burner on the incense table, and burned it up for him.

At this time Zhang Lie and Fatty also walked over quickly, each holding a bag of yellow cloth in his hand and put it on the ground, almost blinding Zheng Nian's eyes for a moment.

"Less say, there are 70 taels of gold." Zhang Lie said, "This... the letter says that the monster tribe colluded with my father, and my father opened the door to let him enter the capital."

"My letter said that the crow entered the capital, and it was released by the servant." The fat man was already sweating profusely. He had never seen such a situation before, and he was already in a panic at this moment.

Both hands were shaking, Zheng Nian quickly took out the gold from his arms, and handed it to the fat man, "Go and wait outside the room, there is still one place I need to investigate, don't let others find out."

"Okay!" The fat man held nearly 100 taels of gold, slung it on his shoulders, and walked out panting.

Can't run.

"Master Zheng... now... what should I do?" Zhang Lie's hand already looked like a Parkinson's patient.

Zheng Nian pressed on his shoulder, "I need to go to your mother's bedroom."

"This..." Zhang Lie's expression was slightly perplexed.

"What?" Zheng Nian frowned.

"Doctor Xun said before that you must not enter the room at night. If you enter at will, you will be affected..." Zhang Lie lowered his head.

Zheng Nian was curious, "That's your mother, aren't you worried if something happens?"

Zhang Lie's eyes flickered, "I'm worried, but I'm a single descendant of the Zhang family. Compared with my mother, I shoulder the responsibility of the family's ups and downs, so nothing can happen."

"Okay, then you wait at the door, I'll go." Zheng Nian didn't say anything, the ideas of this age are always incompatible with him.

Pushing the door open, Zheng Nian saw the woman on the bed at a glance.

The woman's grade is not very old, that is, around forty years old, and she may look older because of her illness.

Under the moonlight, the woman was a bit dull, her expression was dull, she was leaning against the wall, her panting sound seemed to be snoring, her abdomen was swollen high, as if she was pregnant for four or five months.

Zheng Nian strolled over and asked tentatively, "Auntie?"

The woman didn't respond, she was still sitting there paralyzed, her clothes were scattered on the bed, her hair was scattered, and she was very haggard.

Zheng Nian reached under the bed, took out the letter, opened it under the moonlight, and saw the writing on it.

【Master Zaisuke】

[The lower official has investigated and found out that Liao Xiaoxiao, the daughter of the Liao family, did not die, but hid somewhere in the capital, practicing the way of ghosts and demons, and her strength greatly increased, in an attempt to avenge her revenge one day. 】

[Back then, Zaifu's plan to kill the Liao family was blocked by Liao Xiaoxiao alone. Now that he seizes this opportunity, he can completely eradicate his family. 】

[Zhang Yuanbo presents. 】

Zheng Nian was taken aback when he saw this.

Unexpectedly, there is such a grievance in it, no wonder Jin Yiwei tried every means to sneak into Liao Xiaoxiao's side, in order to stir up the old hatred between the Ministry of Industry and Zaifu Liu Zhishan.

Every piece of paper tonight, no matter which one was released to the world, was a big shock to the court, and Zheng Nian immediately burned all the papers.

When he looked back at Zhang Lie's mother, he found that the woman was no longer there.

Surprised, Zheng Nian took a few steps back and felt his body hit something.

Turn around suddenly!

Eye to eye!

The tips of their noses were no more than an inch apart.

The difference is that the woman hung upside down from the ceiling, grinned, revealing a blood-red spider, coming straight towards Zheng Nian!
