The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 191 Chang Feng's Wrist

Everyone has weaknesses, and officials are human too.

Jin Yiwei is good at seizing the weakness of officials and threatening them.

His son Zhao Ruihu is Zhao Xiangfo's weakness.

Chang Feng ordered someone to send Zhao Ruihu to his room first.He was waiting for Zhao Xiangfo at the Qianhu Office.

After escorting Zhao Ruihu away, Chang Feng said to Fatty Xu: "Let's meet Zhao Xiangfo here later, it seems that there is something missing."

Fatty Xu asked, "What's missing? Shackles, iron chains, or instruments of torture? I'll get them."

Chang Feng shook his head slightly: "Not at all. There are blood stains on the ground."

Fatty Xu was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Chang Feng asked: "Is there a heinous ruffian who killed his mother and father in the imperial prison?"

Fatty Xu replied: "That's right. That bastard should have been locked up in Shuntian Mansion Prison. The Emperor was so angry when he heard about this case that he was so lucky that he was locked up in Imperial Prison."

Chang Feng nodded: "Those who kill their fathers and mothers will be destroyed by heaven and earth. No matter how much our Jin Yiwei can torment him."

"Go to the Imperial Prison and give him some blood. Just put two cups of tea, don't let him die. It will be Ling Chi in a few days."

Fatty Xu asked: "Master Chang, what do you want that beast's dirty blood for?"

Chang Feng said: "You don't have to worry about it, just go and get it."

Fatty Xu took the order and left.After a few sticks of incense, he walked up to Chang Feng with a small copper basin in his hand.

Chang Feng asked: "Why did you release so many? Didn't you release him to death?"

Fatty Xu replied: "Don't worry, I'm not dead, I just passed out."

Chang Feng took the small copper basin and splashed the blood on the ground.

The lobby of the Qianhu Office was immediately filled with bloody smell.

Fatty Xu asked: "Master Chang, what on earth are you going to do? Bloody water will be poured on a good bluestone slab, and it will be so hard for the wrestlers to clean it up tomorrow morning!"

Chang Feng said with a smile: "When Zhao Xiangfo comes, you will naturally know."

Not long after, Zhao Xiangfo came to the lobby.

Zhao Xiangfo keenly discovered that the ten warriors standing on both sides of the hall had scorpion crossbows hanging from their waists.The eyes are fixed on him.

Zhao Xiangfo looked at Chang Feng pretending to be calm: "Master Chang, you called me late at night because the two hidden stakes of the Wara tribe were exposed and killed, right?"

When saying this, Zhao Xiangfo rubbed his nose.He smelled a strong smell of blood.Looking down, there was a big pool of blood under his feet.

Chang Feng said calmly: "Just now I chopped off three fingers of your son Zhao Ruihu."

Zhao Xiangfo's complexion changed, and he lost the composure he had just now: "Chang Feng, fuck your mother! Why did you chop off Ruihu's finger?"

"I dare to touch my son, I."

Zhao Xiangfo made a gesture to pull out the Xiuchun knife at his waist.Ten warriors raised their scorpion crossbows and surrounded him.

As long as he draws his knife, he will be shot into a hedgehog immediately.

Chang Feng said: "Senior Zhao, don't be impulsive."

Fatty Xu stepped forward and took off the Xiuchun knife from Zhao Xiangfo's waist.

Zhao Xiangfo was furious: "Chang Feng, I have lived and died for Jin Yiwei for so many years. But you want to kill my queen?"

"If I had known this before, I should have found a way to kill you when you were the general banner!"

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "I haven't cut off your queen. Zhao Ruihu eats inside and out, so I naturally want to chop off his fingers."

"You don't know yet. He colluded with the eunuch Li Guang and the foreign minister Liu Zhang to frame Li Dongyang and Xie Qian."

"What's the point of cutting off his fingers? Tomorrow, I'm going to open his stomach in front of the brothers in the school grounds, and see what kind of heart he has!"

When Chang Feng said this, his expression was relaxed and his tone was flat.

Fatty Xu's scalp tingled when he heard it: Open his belly?Chang Feng is becoming more and more cruel now.

Zhao Xiangfo said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, when did he collude with Li Guang and Liu Zhang?"

Chang Feng laughed and said, "He confessed when he chopped off his third finger. Li Dongyang and Xie Qian were the ones who put in the private file box the fake files that they had.

"The teahouse Lao Tang attempted to murder Gao Wenze, a hundred households in charge, and he was also instigated. Lao Tang was also silenced by him."

"He said that everything has nothing to do with his father and you. It's all done by him alone."

Zhao Xiangfo froze in place.His son is his life.He took refuge in Li Guang and sought a high position. Apart from the resentment of not being promoted, another part of the reason was to seek a good future for his son.

Chang Feng said: "The son is the son, and the father is the father. The son made a mistake, and I will not hold the father accountable."

"Tomorrow, I will disembowel him and warn Wei Nei Paoze, you can continue to be your Nansi Qianhu."

Zhao Xiangfo closed his eyes, and said desperately, "Don't kill him. Colluding with Li Guang and Liu Zhang, and framing Li Dongyang and Xie Qian are all my actions."

"He just listened to my errands, ran errands, and passed on messages."

Chang Feng ordered loudly: "Record a hundred households, start writing!"

"Zhao Xiangfo, do you admit that you brought Li and Xie's two false documents into the stall?"

Zhao Xiangfo replied truthfully: "I brought it into the stall in the name of adding a name to the roster of hidden piles."

"When I stuffed fake documents into the two-person box, I was caught by Gao Wenze, and I became murderous. I ordered the waiter Lao Tang to send him poisoned tea."

"After the attempted poisoning failed, I killed Lao Tang and threw him at the mass grave in the south of the city."

"I did everything. It has nothing to do with Ruihu. If you want to kill me, kill me."

Chang Feng asked: "Why did you betray Jin Yiwei? When you were in Uzang Snow Mountain, you almost lost your life many times, but you never took refuge in those Snow Mountain Kings."

Zhao Xiangfo's dissatisfaction over the past nine years erupted in an instant: "Why do you say?"

"In terms of qualifications, you, Qian Ning, Shi Wenyi, which one can catch up with me?"

"Now all three of you are my bosses."

"My former siblings, Sun Guishou and Wang Miaoxin, have also become my bosses."

"Even my former subordinates, Shen Zhou who knows only portraits, Daoist Zhang who only knows how to drink, and Fatty Xu who only knows whoring girls, are now equal to me!"

Fatty Xu smiled awkwardly: "Master Zhao, you don't slap someone in the face when you hit someone, and you don't expose your shortcomings if you expose someone."

Zhao Xiangfo ignored Fatty Xu, but yelled at Chang Feng: "You treat me unkindly, of course I will be unrighteous!"

Chang Feng sighed: "It is my fault that you were not promoted."

"I am now in charge of Jinyiwei as a Zuo Tongzhi. If an official has reached this level, it is inevitable that he will treat one more favorably than another."

"Pao Ze are all my brothers. But there are only a few official positions. If you treat one kindly, you will treat that one badly."

"I thought you were a Buddhist and would not care about official positions."

Zhao Xiangfo said angrily: "Who comes out to be an official, who doesn't want to be promoted? Don't you want to be promoted?"

Often the wind is speechless.The second fool, the grandson of the turtle, doesn't want to be promoted.

Zhao Xiangfo said: "I will admit everything I have done. I just ask you to let my son go for the sake of my achievements and blood shed over the years."

Chang Feng nodded: "Success. I will let him go. Have you completed the confession record?"

The hundred households who recorded the confession replied: "The record has been completed."

Chang Feng said: "Senior Zhao, please sign and put your fingerprint on it."

Zhao Xiangfo signed the confession and stamped his fingerprints.

With the fingerprints stamped on the confession, the work of completely clearing Li Dongyang and Xie Qian of the charges has been completed.

The question now is how to deal with this matter in a low-key manner.It can not only protect virtuous ministers, but also don't need to pursue Li Guang and Liu Zhang on the bright side.

Zhao Xiangfo said: "Chang Feng, if you want to kill me, cut me open, or even give me the bamboo punishment, I have nothing to say."

"But I beg you to let my son go. Also, where is the severed finger? Doctor Wang in Bian Que Lane knows how to rejoin severed fingers."

The reattachment of amputated fingers is not something that modern medicine can do.

In the book "Er Tan" of the Ming Dynasty, such an event was recorded.

Jiang Wei, a hundred households in Huangpi, was ordered to escort the money into Beijing.Passing through Zhending Mansion in winter, he encountered robbers and had two fingers chopped off.

The doctor in Zhending Mansion can only do simple bandages.

But the doctor told him that there is a doctor in the capital who can reattach fingers.

He reluctantly went to the capital, and found the famous doctor after handing over the money.

The famous doctor butts the severed finger on the fracture, smears ice brain, musk and other medicinal materials, and then fixes it with a thin splint.

After 21 days, the thin splint was removed, and Jiang Wei found that the severed finger was connected, leaving only a red line at the joint.

In a word, Chinese medicine is broad and profound.

Think about the old mediocre Wan An who was unable to do what he wanted back then.Ni Jinxian washed him with a prescription, and he could transform from an earthworm into a living dragon.

Closer to home.

Zhao Xiangfo asked Chang Feng to cut off his finger.

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "Come on, bring Zhao Ruihu up."

Not long after, Zhao Ruihu was brought to the lobby.

Zhao Xiangfo looked at his son's hands, both hands were intact, where were three fingers cut off?

Zhao Xiangfo questioned Chang Feng: "Are you lying to me?"

Chang Feng sighed: "I can't bear to punish a senior who has made great achievements, and I can't bear to hurt his son."

"No way, I can only lie to you."

Zhao Xiangfo did not scold Chang Feng, but cupped his hands and said, "Thank you! How do you plan to deal with me?"

Chang Feng said: "Jinyiwei has always been unfaithful once, and not used a hundred times. You have colluded with outsiders, and Weili can't keep you."

"How about this. I have a good relationship with Shi Wenzhong, the governor of the Left Army, and Ma Wensheng, the former minister of the Ministry of War."

"I will let them jointly submit a letter of recommendation to the Ministry of War, recommending you to be transferred to the Datong Frontier Army and be a commander of the frontier army."

"Although the status of the frontier army is far lower than that of Jin Yiwei, it can be regarded as a promotion for you anyway."

Zhao Xiangfo was dumbfounded: "You won't kill me?"

Chang Feng said: "I can't keep you in Jinyiwei anymore, but I won't kill you either."

"To be honest, I show mercy to you not only because of your past achievements, but also for myself."

"If I kill an old Jinyiwei Feiyu who has made great achievements, the brothers of Paoze will be disappointed."

"As a shopkeeper, the most taboo is to chill the hearts of the people below."

Zhao Xiangfo said: "However, if you don't punish me in the open, the grievances of Li Dongyang and Xie Qian will not be cleared away."

"How do you explain those two planted secret documents to the government and the opposition?"

Chang Feng said: "You don't have to worry about it. I have my own way."

Zhao Xiangfo cupped his hands towards Chang Feng, and made a deep bow: "Master Chang, I owe you once. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."

Chang Feng said: "You father and son go to Nan Si to take a rest first. You are not allowed to leave Jinyiwei before tomorrow morning."

After Zhao's father and son left, Fatty Xu said meaningfully: "Compassion does not command soldiers, righteousness does not raise wealth. Master Chang, you are letting the tiger go back to the mountain."

Chang Feng said with a smile: "I only heard that there are mostly mothers-in-law and aunts in Yihonglou, but I haven't heard that there are Yangzhou skinny horses!"

"Master Xu recently learned from a young and thin horse who can read and write. He always speaks four words and four words?"

Fatty Xu was a little anxious: "Master Chang, when is this, do you still have the mood to joke?"

"In two and a half hours, it will be early. If you don't study Zhao Xiangfo, you can't explain how the fake private file appeared in the stall."

Chang Feng said: "Fatty, don't worry. Let's see I set up a Hongmen banquet. No, it should be called a slime banquet."

In the middle of the night, in the third watch, Yihonglou.

A banquet was set up in the elegant room of Yihong Building.

Chang Feng sat at the wine table and dozed off.

Not long after, Li Guang and Liu Zhang entered the private room under the guidance of Fatty Xu.

Both of them were sleepy.

In the middle of the night, it was not so easy to invite a supervisor of ceremonies to hold a pen, and a winter official from the Ministry of Industry to come to Fireworks and Willow Lane.

Fatty Xu showed them a copy of Liu Ping and Zhao Xiangfo's confessions.The two came reluctantly.

Chang Feng opened his eyes.Li Guang scolded: "Invite a rootless person to come to the brothel. You can figure it out!"

"Why, you want to ask me to whore a girl? I don't have that stuff!"

Chang Feng smiled and cupped his hands towards Li Guangyi: "Eunuch Li, don't be surprised. You said it's midnight. All restaurants in the capital are closed."

"Only places like Yihonglou can hold banquets."

When he said this, Chang Feng glanced at Liu Zhang.I saw Liu Zhang showing a guilty conscience.

Chang Feng said: "You two, please sit down. Fatty, you go out first."

In the private room, only Chang Feng, Li Guang, and Liu Zhang were left.

A three-person rivalry begins.

Chang Feng smiled and said, "Both of you, you have all read the copies of Liu Ping and Zhao Xiangfo's confessions."

"Your methods of framing are not very clever. To be honest, if you want to talk about framing, you have to look at our Jin Yiwei. Our framing."

Li Guang patted the table: "Chang Feng, don't take off your pants and fart! Now you have a handle on the two of us. Tell me, what do you want?"

Liu Zhang said tremblingly, "Liu Ping is talking nonsense. Zhao Xiangfo is also talking nonsense. We don't recognize those two confessions."

Chang Feng said: "Okay! Then tomorrow morning I will make the two confessions public. Let the officials judge the authenticity of the confessions!"

Liu Zhang hurriedly said, "Farewell."

Li Guang also took a breather, and got close to Chang Feng: "Chang Feng, we both belong to the empress. Why do we bother to tear ourselves apart?"

"In this battle, no matter which one of us loses, it will be empress empress' face!"

"Crack!" Chang Feng clapped his hands, which startled Li Guang and Liu Zhang.

Chang Feng said: "Eunuch Li's words are incisive! That's what I think! We both belong to the empress, just like half-brothers!"

"For the sake of Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, those two bastards, rotten scholars, are tearing their faces apart. It's really unnecessary!"

A smile appeared on Li Guang's face: "As expected of being a popular person beside the emperor. Seeing things is transparent."

But Chang Feng changed the subject: "But, the emperor asked me to protect Li Dongyang and Xie Qian. This is the emperor's order."

"Ming told you two, the emperor is determined to let those two bastards join the cabinet. The emperor's order is hard to break."

Li Guangdao: "If you want to protect them, you have to investigate us! You still have to tear yourself apart!"

Chang Feng drank a glass of wine, said something unhurriedly, showing his wrist.

Chang Feng said: "Liu Butang. Are you 71 this year? Isn't it good for people who are very old to go home to take care of themselves?"

"In my opinion, you should report your illness first, so as to avoid the limelight of the cabinet dispute. Wait a year or so before you hand over the official memorial to the emperor, how about it?"

Liu Zhang was surprised: "You want me to resign?"

Chang Feng restrained his smile, and said seriously: "Someone must pay for this framing case! I have left you a face, and whether you want this face or not is up to you!"

Li Guang and Liu Zhang looked at each other.

Liu Zhang gritted his teeth: "Okay, I will resign."

According to "Records of Emperor Xiaozong", in the eighth year of Hongzhi, Liu Zhang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, fell ill.In the ninth year of Hongzhi, Zhang became an official.

Chang Feng said again: "Eunuch Li, the censor Sun Chunbin who participated in Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, I know it's yours."

"Let's finish drinking in a while, you go to him. Tell him to change his words in the early court and tell the officials that there is no record of them curry favor with Shang Ming in the private files of Li and Xie."

"In addition, you ask him to tell the officials that after a day's investigation, he found that Li Dongyang and Xie Qian are both noble and virtuous officials."

Li Guangdao: "As a censor, if he turned bald in the early court, his official career would be over."

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "It's better to lose your career than to lose your life. He's just a small person, just a pawn on the chessboard."

"There's no need to cause internal strife among the queen's empress and hurt our brothers' feelings for the sake of a chess piece's official career."

Li Guang thought for a long time: "Okay. I promise you. How can I explain the jade horse? I can't let me admit in front of all the officials that I asked Liu Ping to find someone to carve the jade horse."

Chang Feng laughed and said, "It's easier. The little eunuchs under your command have three thousand if not five thousand. Just find someone to take the place of the dead."

"He said he hated Liu Jin. He also heard about Sun Chunbin's impeachment. So he immediately went out of the palace and bought a jade horse, and had that line engraved on it."

"The purpose is to frame Liu Jin for stealing the treasures in the palace. You learned of the little eunuch's treachery and went to arrest him. The little eunuch took the first step and committed suicide in fear of crime."

Li Guangdao: "The lie you made up is full of loopholes. Can all officials believe it?"

Chang Feng said: "It doesn't matter whether the officials believe it or not. As long as you two stop attacking Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, the emperor will not investigate further."

Li Guang said: "We can do all the things you said. But you have to burn the original confessions of Liu Ping and Zhao Xiangfo!"

The confessions of Liu and Zhao are ironclad evidence that Li Guang framed important ministers.After staying in Chang Feng's hands for a day, Li Guang will be pinched by Chang Feng.

With lightning speed, Chang Feng took out two pieces of paper from his sleeve and put them directly on the candle to ignite them.After a while it was reduced to ashes.

Li Guang looked at Chang Feng suspiciously: "Is this the original confession? Don't fool us with two blank sheets of paper!"

Chang Feng covered his chest with his left hand, and pointed to the sky with his right hand: "The conscience of heaven and earth! This is indeed the original confession! If I tell lies, the sky will strike my father's grave with lightning!"

He was indeed a great son.
Li Guang sneered: "Heh, only God knows if it is the original confession!"

Chang Feng burned only two blank sheets of paper.He also knew that Li Guang would not believe it.

As long as the two confessions are not made public, they are in his hands.He clenched Li Guang's braid tightly.

Without tearing your face, you can still hold the little braids of the supervisor of ceremonies, why not do it?
Li Guang raised his wine glass: "Chang Feng, I admit that I can't beat you! I understand why you were able to rise from a little-known general flag to the big treasurer of Jinyiwei in just ten years."

Chang Feng laughed and said: "Don't say that. Why fight or not, the three of us are brothers! Well, it's too late, why fight?"

Li Guang and Liu Zhang laughed awkwardly together: "Yes, we are all brothers."

Fatty Xu at the door heard laughter coming from the private room.

"Second brother, third brother."

"Big brother, third brother."

"Big brother, second brother."

"Ah ha ha!"
