The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 187 Everyone Has a Secret

Chang Tian, ​​the favorite of the capital group, has come to rescue Liu Jin!
Who among the eunuchs outside the door would dare to stop Princess Wanping?In the palace, Xiaotangtang is the princess and treated like a princess.

Chang Tian entered the execution room.

Li Guang was startled: "Princess? Why are you here?"

Chang Tian's words and deeds now have the temperament of a princess, not as open-mouthed as he was when he was a child.

Chang Tian only said three words coldly: "Let him go."

Seeing that he could kill Liu Jin, who would have thought that Cheng Yaojin would be killed halfway.

Li Guang felt unwilling: "I report to the princess. Liu Jin stole property from the palace. I will punish it impartially."

Chang Tian repeated: "Let him go."

Li Guangdao: "Excuse me, princess. There are three thousand eunuchs and court ladies here in Kunning Palace. If we don't kill everyone, will Kunning Palace not be messed up in the future?"

Chang Tian sneered: "Oh, you have spoken your mind. You want to kill Liu Jin!"

Li Guang knew he had made a slip of the tongue: "Ah, the princess misunderstood, I didn't intend to kill him. I just wanted to punish him severely to warn the palace people."

Chang Tian was too lazy to talk nonsense with Li Guang, so he left the firewood room, turned around and entered the Kunning Palace bedroom to find Empress Zhang.

Before entering the bedroom, Chang Tian deliberately rubbed his eyes vigorously until tears came out.

For a teenage girl, sometimes tears are the best weapon.It can hurt or save people.

When she saw Empress Zhang, she began to cry bitterly: "Yeah! Empress! Li Guang wants to kill Liu Jin!"

"My daughter was raised by Liu Jin. According to seniority, he is still my old nephew!"

"Woooo! Empress, I don't know what crime Liu Jin has committed. But even for the sake of serving the prince with all his heart, he is not guilty of death!"

After speaking, Chang Tian got into Queen Zhang's arms directly, sobbing and crying non-stop, with tears and snot coming out of his nose.

Empress Zhang patted Chang Tian on the back lightly: "My dear Tangtang, don't cry. My original intention is to let Li Guang punish Liu Jin slightly. How dare he want to kill Liu Jin."

Chang Tian said: "Empress, the eunuch has the most cruel heart and the most poisonous hands. He also likes to use chicken feathers as arrows the most. If you don't believe me, go to the execution room to have a look."

Queen Zhang and Chang Tian came to the execution room.

As soon as she entered the door, Queen Zhang saw Liu Jin hanging upside down on the beam.

Empress Zhang frowned: "Li Guang, if you hang him like this, you will die."

Li Guang listened to Queen Zhang's voice and didn't want Liu Jin to die.Seeing Chang Tian's face full of tears, he obviously begged for Liu Jin's favor on Queen Zhang's side.

Li Guang quickly explained: "Ah, don't worry, empress. This old slave is going to hang him for a few moments, so that he can have a long memory and let him go."

After speaking, Li Guang told Gu Dayong: "Put Liu Jin down soon?"

Liu Jin was put down by Gu Dayong and was still in a coma.

Chang Tian rescued the future "Emperor Li" of Ming Dynasty.I don't know if it's Chang Tian's luck or misfortune.

Li Guangdao: "I report to the empress. Liu Jin's hands and feet are not clean. There are stolen goods here. The evidence is solid. According to the rules, he cannot be kept in the palace. He should be expelled from the palace."

Chang Tian put on a serious face: "The eunuch only has one family in the palace. If you drive him out of the palace, doesn't it mean that you have cut off his life?"

Empress Zhang said: "Let's do this. Treat Liu Jin's wounds first. After he recovers from his wounds, he will be demoted to Fengyu, and Maoling will be appointed as the former emperor's minister."

Liu Jin's great fortune seemed to come to an abrupt end in the spring of the eighth year of Hongzhi.It just seems.

For Li Guang, using a jade horse to stop Li and Xie from entering the cabinet, and at the same time let Liu Jin get away from the prince, both goals have been achieved.

He doesn't need to confront Queen Zhang.

Li Guang went down the donkey and said, "The empress is kind!"

Unable to kill Liu Jin, Li Guang took the jade horse to Qianqing Palace and handed over Xie Qian's "criminal evidence" to Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the jade horse, and then told Qian Neng: "Qian Neng, you are the governor of Dongchang. You can find out the origin of this jade horse."

Qian Neng cupped his hands: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Where can money be able to investigate the case.He asked his confidant younger brother, Zhang Yong, the imperial horse supervisor Bingbi and the eunuch of the [-]th Regiment Battalion, to send the jade horse to Jinyiwei and hand it over to Chang Feng.

Inside Jinyiwei.Chang Feng is investigating the ghost.

He and Fatty Xu sat in the duty room.

The second shopkeeper Qian Ning, the old birthday star Sun Guishou, the big man Shi Wenyi, the petty national player Wang Miaoxin, the painter Shen Zhou, the black Maitreya Zhao Xiangfo, and Gao Wenze, a hundred households in charge, stood at the door one by one, waiting to meet Chang Feng.

Fatty Xu walked to the door: "Second shopkeeper, you come in first."

Qian Ning followed Fatty Xu into the value room, and he first reported to Chang Feng: "Master Chang, I checked the private file of that guy Sun Chunbin. He has been an official for 30 years and has always been quite clean."

"It's just that the official luck is not good. He is obviously a Jinshi, but after 30 years, he is still a mere seventh-rank censor."

"He complained quite a bit about it. Last summer, he went through someone's door and became Li Guang's guest."

Chang Feng nodded slightly: "Oh. That's right."

Qian Ning said: "Master Chang, I don't know if I should say something or not."

Chang Feng took a sip of tea and said, "We are half-brothers. Is there anything we can't talk about?"

Qian Ning lowered his voice: "My adoptive father and Li Guang usually have a good relationship. After all, they are all written by the supervisor of ceremonies. I don't see them when I look down."

"Li Guang is very favored in front of the Empress. I don't think you need to offend Li Guang, and justify the grievances of the two civil servants."

"As far as I know, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian are not like Wang Shu and Ma Wensheng. They don't have a deep friendship with you."

Chang Feng nodded: "Thank you for your suggestion."

Suddenly, he changed the subject: "Two days ago, what did you do in the stall?"

Qian Ning blurted out: "Master Chang, you are such a noble person, how forgetful you are! It was you who asked me to go to the archives to check the archives of Shanxi Inspector Feng Jiancheng."

"He is planning to be promoted to the chief envoy of Shanxi recently. Ma Butang of the Ministry of Officials is not sure about his details. I want you to help check his past."

Ma Wensheng became friends with Chang Feng.As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Lao Ma has many conveniences.

For example, if he didn't know the details of an official who was going to be promoted, he asked Chang Feng to check the official's past at Jinyiwei.

Chang Feng almost became a non-staff doctor of the Department of Anthology of the Ministry of Officials.

Chang Feng slapped his head: "Why did I forget about this?"

Chang Feng is now in charge of the Southern and Northern Divisions of Jinyiwei.Things are too complicated, too much.He did forget about it.

Qian Ning's eyes rolled: "This subordinate understands, Mr. Chang is investigating the inner ghost, right?"

"Don't worry, Master Chang. It is impossible for me to collude with Li Guang! I only have one adoptive father, a foster father with much higher status and qualifications than Li Guang!"

"If I collude with Li Guang, I will betray my adoptive father. I'm not that stupid!"

Chang Feng smiled awkwardly.What Channing said was true.Qian Neng is the chief inspector of rituals, not to mention the pen, and also supervises the factory guards.Li Guang's status is far inferior to his.

Qian Ning didn't have to take the risk of betraying Qian Neng to curry favor with Li Guang and work for Li Guang.

Chang Feng said: "Brother Qian, you are overthinking. I suspect that no one can doubt you! I just asked casually."

"Go down first and call Sun Guishou in."

Not long after, Sun Guishou entered the value room.

Chang Feng's year-end friend is already 85 years old, and the years are not forgiving, and he is faltering.Fatty Xu hurried over and helped him onto the chair.

Chang Feng had a concerned expression on his face: "Senior, you have been on leave for a month. How are you doing recently?"

Sun Guishou said: "When people are old, they suffer from many diseases. It's just a matter of dying."

Chang Feng asked: "You went into the stall a day ago, I don't know why."

Before Chang Feng had finished speaking, Sun Guishou got up from his chair and was about to kneel down: "Boss, I was wrong!"

Chang Feng hurriedly said to Fatty Xu: "Hurry up and help the old man! Old man, if you have anything to say, just say it. Don't just kneel to me."

"If you kneel to me at your age, I'm afraid I'll lose my life."

Sun Guishou said: "I was wrong. I shouldn't use public power for private purposes, and use power for personal gain."

Chang Feng asked: "What's going on?"

Sun Guishou said: "My great-grandson is a sixth-rank judge in the Changlu Salt Transport Envoy Yamen. A while ago, he resold five hundred stone salts in a moment of confusion, and made a profit of 400 taels."

"This matter was known by our eyes and ears in the Salt Transport Envoy's Yamen, and it was recorded in the private file."

"I went to the stall to help him destroy the corruption records in his private files."

Chang Feng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's it! The officials of Ming Dynasty have always relied on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the sea to eat the sea."

"Salt transportation makes people in the yamen rely on the salt farms to eat salt farms. Almost all the salt officials resell Yanyin. The 400 taels is really the size of a sesame mung bean."

"You send someone to say hello to me, and I'll change the private file for him. Why do you have to come to Weili yourself when you're recuperating?"

Sun Guishou sighed: "Firstly, I'm afraid of losing face, and secondly, I'm afraid of troubling you, the shopkeeper."

"I'm someone whose loess has been buried up to the neck. I don't want to owe favors before I die."

Chang Feng told Fatty Xu: "Send someone to send the old man back to the mansion quickly. Use my official sedan chair to send it. Let the bearers be more safe on the road!"

Fatty Xu took the order, sent Sun Guishou away and returned.

Fatty Xu said: "Could it be that Li Guang found out about the secret of the old birthday star's great-grandson, threatened him with this matter, and let him frame Li and Xie?"

Chang Feng shook his head slightly: "I know the old birthday star. He has experienced too many things in his life, just like an old sparrow in Dongting Lake."

"The matter of 400 taels in total is not a matter at all. Even if Li Guang made the matter public, with Jin Yiwei's power, he can still exonerate his great-grandson."

"How could he be so confused that, for the sake of 400 taels, he helped Li Guang plant two important ministers who are about to join the cabinet?"

"Corruption of 400 taels is a small crime that can be easily escaped. Framed important ministers are serious crimes that cannot be washed away!"

"The old birthday star is not a three-year-old child. Li Guang can't scare him."

Fatty Xu asked: "Then the old birthday star can be ruled out?"

Chang Feng replied: "Well, he can be excluded."

Fatty Xu pointed to the door: "Then there are five suspects left."

Chang Feng said: "Let Shi Wenyi come in."

The big man Shi Wenyi entered the value room.

As soon as he came in, he walked up to Chang Feng and shook the teacup: "It's not hot anymore. The people below are too blind, don't know how to change tea for Master Chang?"

Chang Feng said: "It's okay. Wen Yi, let me ask you. What did you do in the stall a day ago?"

Shi Wenyi was stunned for a moment, showing a timid expression: "Ah, I, my Master Chang, I was wrong!"

After saying that, Shi Wenyi fell to his knees.

Chang Feng and Fatty Xu looked at each other: Could it be that Shi Wenyi is the inner ghost?

Chang Feng asked: "Where did you go wrong?"

Shi Wenyi replied: "I shouldn't take advantage of my official position to vent my personal anger for my family."

Chang Feng was puzzled: "Venting out personal anger? What's going on?"

Shi Wenyi confessed honestly: "Fan Zhiyi, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, has always been at odds with my elder brother. They were enemies when they both served in the post-military governor's mansion."

"In the past two years, one of them is the commander in chief of the army in the capital, and the other is the commander of the border town in Jiubian. They even quarrel when they meet each other. They fight against each other in everything."

"A while ago, one of Zongbing Fan's lieutenants secretly told my elder brother that Zongbing Fan sold two hundred army horses in the Xuan Mansion."

"I just want to put this hidden matter in Fan Zongbing's private file. If Fan Zongbing wants to go up in the future, he will definitely suffer from this stain."

Chang Feng asked: "Why didn't you add this hidden matter to Fan Zongbing's private files on the [-]th of this month when Wei Li collectively supplemented the officials' private files?"

Shi Wenyi replied: "There is no actual evidence for this matter. According to the rules, without actual evidence, it cannot be recorded in private files."

"I just took a trick and planned to put it in the private file quietly."

Chang Feng nodded: "Yes. I can understand that you vented your anger on behalf of your elder brother. But your actions broke the rules of Jinyiwei."

"How about this. You send two school lieutenants to investigate the evidence that Fan Zongbing sold two hundred military horses. You will be fined for the money the two school lieutenants go to Beijing for business trips!"

Shi Wenyi hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Chang, for your kindness! I'll exchange hot tea for you."

Chang Feng waved his hand: "No need. You go down first."

After Shi Wenyi left, Chang Feng discussed with Fatty Xu: "I don't think the ghost is Shi Wenyi. I know him well, he is as timid as a mouse."

"All these years, he has been following my ass to serve. He is loyal to me."

Fatty Xu asked: "Could it be that he had some reason to fall into Li Guang's hands and was blackmailed by Li Guang?"

Chang Feng said: "Even if he has something in Li Guang's hands, he will not choose to help Li Guang. Instead, he will choose to ask me to help him escape."

"You go to the stall. Check the private file of Fan Zhiyi, the chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion. See if there is an extra record of reselling military horses as Shi Wenyi said."

Fatty Xu took the order and left.After a while, he turned back and said, "Master Chang, it's exactly what Shi Wenyi said. Fan Zhiyi's private file has some extra goods."

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "Actually, the reselling of horses, cattle and sheep by the commander-in-chief of Bianguan is nothing new. The court also turned a blind eye."

"Fan Zongbing deserved to be unlucky, and Shi Wenyi committed the crime. Although Shi Wenyi was teased as a 'big guy', he is Jin Yiwei's Beizhen Fushi after all!"

Fatty Xu said: "There are four people left if there is a possibility of an insider. Xiao Guoshou, the painter, Hei Maitreya, and Gao Wenze, a manager of hundreds of households."

Chang Feng said: "Call Shen Zhou in first."

Not long after, Shen Zhou, who was nearly seventy years old, walked in.

Shen Zhou has been in charge of painting the portraits of criminals all these years.

After Chang Feng came to power, he felt that Lao Shen was conscientious and conscientious, and his age was still there.So he was promoted from a hundred households to a thousand households.

Chang Feng smiled and said, "How has Shen Qianhu been in good health recently?"

Shen Zhou replied: "Very good. It will not be a problem to mention the painting brush for another three or five years."

Chang Feng said: "What are you doing in the stall for two days?"

Shen Zhou's complexion changed, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Chang Feng wondered: Could it be that the ghost is Shen Zhou?

Chang Feng said: "Shen Qianhu, you can tell me anything you have."

"At your age, I respect you as a senior. If you make a mistake, I will try my best to forgive you."

Everyone has secrets.

So did Shen Zhou.

Shen Zhou gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind: "Boss, I entered the secret room because of an old incident."
