The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 205 Li Guang Today, Li Guang Tomorrow, Sure enough, disaster will come! (Nine thousand five hundred characters)
De'an, Dekui, and Debing were woken up by the splash of cold water, crying non-stop.

Chang Feng said angrily: "If you don't tell the truth, I will not only smash your butts, but also your legs!"

De'an cried, "My lord, we really don't know what you're talking about! Apart from being a little husband for Sister Cuiniang, I've never done anything wrong with my heart!"

De Kui was just woken up by the splash, and then fainted by Chang Feng.

De Bing swore: "If we touch His Highness's small seal, God will strike us dead with lightning!"

Chang Feng judged that these three teenagers were not the ones who stole the small seals.

He told Basha: "Help the three of them down. Let the medical officer of the palace treat them."

Only one last person remained without interrogation.King Xing's most trusted eunuch, Ma Youlu, who is in charge of the palace.

Ma Youlu, in his 50s, walked in.

Ma Youlu has the same name as the head of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, but they are not the same person.

Ma Youlu is very experienced among the eunuchs in the palace.When Wang Zhi was in power, he was quite fond of him.In the ninth year of Chenghua, he was sent to Shaanxi and Gansu, and served as a guarding eunuch.

In the 12th year of Chenghua, Zhu Youzhu was born.The supervisor of ceremonies chooses a companion for Zhu Youzhao.

Just when Ma Youlu returned to Beijing, by chance, he was selected to be Zhu Youzhao's big companion.

He has served Xing Wang Zhu Youzhao for more than 20 years.

As soon as he entered the hall, he questioned Chang Feng: "Which turtle bastard dares to frame His Highness for rebellion?"

Chang Feng asked back: "Eunuch Ma, how do you know that King Xing was framed?"

Ma Youlu said angrily: "I've been a post for so many years, and I have connections in the palace!"

"His Royal Highness accompanied the Emperor to go out to shoot and hunt. He did not return in the evening. The Princess sent me into the palace to inquire, only to find out that His Highness was framed!"

Chang Feng took his heart and began to follow Ma Youlu's words: "How can Mr. Ma conclude that it is planting, not?"

Ma Youlu immediately interrupted Chang Feng: "Chang, do you suspect that His Highness really rebelled?"

"I'm going to tear you apart! Don't look at you for being favored all these years, you can slander Daming's prince out of thin air!"

Chang Feng hurriedly said: "Eunuch Ma, be safe and don't be impatient."

Ma Youlu was hot-tempered, pointing at Chang Feng and yelling: "I'm going to go to your mother Le Gobi! You don't arrest the person who framed His Highness. Instead, you question King Xing's loyalty to the emperor here. How can I stay calm?"

Chang Feng could tell that Ma Youlu was really angry.The veins on his temples are bulging.

Chang Feng said: "Eunuch Ma, that's what happened. Someone stole His Highness's small seal and forged a troop dispatch order."

"In the past two days, there are only eight people who have access to His Highness's small seal. The suspicion of seven of them has been ruled out."

"There is only one person left."

Ma Youlu was stunned: "Are you doubting me?"

Chang Feng said: "Don't worry about Eunuch Ma. I'm doing a routine investigation. This is also to clear up the grievances for His Highness earlier."

Ma Youlu lost control of his emotions: "I have been taking care of His Highness's diet and daily life since I was 30 years old. It has been 23 years this year!"

"How could I betray His Highness?"

"It's not that I'm bragging! In the seventh year of Hongzhi, the emperor wanted me to be in charge of ceremonies. But I was willing to go with His Highness to Anlu Prefecture to become a vassal in charge of the palace without real power!"

"For Your Highness, I don't even have to give up the high position!"

For some people, you can greet his ancestors for eight generations, but you cannot question his loyalty.

Ma Youlu is such a person.He suffers from severe bipolar disorder.

Suddenly, Ma Youlu snatched the waist knife from Basha's waist, holding the handle of the knife behind his back with both hands, aiming the point of the knife at his chest.

Ma Youlu said sternly: "In order to help you quickly eliminate innocent people and find the bastard who betrayed King Xing. I am willing to die to prove my innocence!"

Chang Feng yelled: "Eunuch Ma, don't want it!"

Ma Youlu exerted a fierce force.Stab the point of the knife towards the chest.

In the blink of an eye, Basha stretched out his hand and grabbed the blade with his hand.

In an instant, blood flowed from Basha's hands.

Fatty Xu came to his senses, stepped forward and took the knife from Ma Youlu's hand: "Eunuch Ma, why are you doing this!"

Chang Feng also said: "Eunuch Ma, I'm just asking as usual. I don't doubt what you mean at all."

He said so, but Chang Feng secretly thought in his heart: Why does Ma Youlu seem to be mentally ill?How could such a lunatic accompany King Xing every day?
Chang Feng spent a lot of time talking, and managed to appease Ma Youlu.Get him out of the hall.

Chang Feng asked Basha, a member of Madam Ninth's tribe: "Old Ba, are you alright?"

Basha tore off a piece of cloth from the hem of the soap suit, and bandaged the wound: "Flesh wounds, it's okay. Master Chang, I don't think Ma Youlu is the one who stole the seal."

Chang Feng asked: "Oh? How did you see it?"

Basha replied: "He stabbed himself with a knife just now very hard, it was with the force of wanting to die."

Fatty Xu interrupted: "That's weird. There are only a few people who can get in touch with Xiaoyin. You have excluded them all one by one."

"Could it be that Xiao Yin grew his own wings and flew to that forged troop order?"

Chang Feng said: "Exclude them all? No way. There are eight people in total, and we only excluded six!"

Fatty Xu was surprised: "You don't doubt the princess and Lu Song, do you? They are our Jinyiwei's own family!"

Chang Feng lowered his voice: "Is Zhao Xiangfo one of Jin Yiwei's family members?"

Fatty Xu was at a loss for words.

Chang Feng said: "Go and invite Wangfei and Lu Dianzhan to come over."

Not long after, Concubine Jiang and Lu Song entered the hall.

Concubine Jiang asked: "Have you found out who colluded with outsiders and framed His Highness?"

Chang Feng shook his head slightly: "Those six people can almost be ruled out as suspects."

Concubine Jiang was surprised: "Huh? But the only ones who can get in touch with Xiaoyin are the six of them."

But Lu Song heard the clue from Chang Feng's voice.He reminded Concubine Jiang: "Princess, there are two more people. You and your subordinates."

Concubine Jiang frowned: "Chang Tongzhi, according to Jin Yiwei's seniority, I should call you Big Brother Chang. Do you doubt me and Lu Song?"

Chang Feng didn't speak.He looked directly into Concubine Jiang's eyes in violation of etiquette.

After a while, he turned his head to look at Lu Song again.

Chang Feng's eyes seemed to say: You two are the only suspects left.In the end who it is, you recruit it yourself.

Chang Feng suddenly noticed that Lu Song's eyes were dodging.

He smiled at Lu Song: "Lu Dianzhan, you have something to hide from me!"

Sweat broke out on Lu Song's head.

Fatty Xu yelled loudly: "Bold! Back then, Master Chang sent you to Prince Xing's side to protect Prince Xing!"

"You actually eat inside and outside, and colluded with outsiders to frame Prince Xing!"

"You are acting like an inner ghost! According to Jin Yiwei's family rules, the bamboo punishment should be high!"

Lu Song knelt down on the ground with a "thud": "I have something to hide from the princess and all the superiors."

"Your Highness, don't let me spread this matter!"

"Actually, there is only one person who can get in touch with Xiaoyin!"

Chang Feng asked: "Who?"

Lu Song said: "Please wangfei, Xu Shizi, Qian Qianshi, Shi Zhen Fushi, and Ba Baihu stay away. I can only speak to Master Chang alone."

Fatty Xu said: "Are you trying to trick us out and assassinate Master Chang?"

Lu Song smiled wryly: "This matter involves His Highness's unspeakable secrets! I can't make His Highness's unspeakable secrets public!"

Chang Feng sat on the chair at the top of the hall, and placed the scorpion crossbow that Ma Wensheng gave him, which could fire three arrows in a row, on the table next to it.

Chang Feng said: "You go down first. Don't worry, he can't eat me."

Chang Feng was twenty steps away from Lu Song.

If Lu Song really wanted to assassinate Chang Feng, at such a long distance, he might be shot to death by the scorpion crossbow before he succeeds.

Concubine Jiang said: "Let's go, let's go down first."

After everyone left, Chang Feng said: "Lu Song, tell me. What is your Highness hiding? Who is the ninth person who can contact Xiaoyin?"

Lu Song replied: "A 40-year-old woman."

Lu Song tells a poignant love story.

In the last years of Chenghua, Zhu Youjuan, the fourth son of the first emperor, was granted the title of King Xing.

The Empress Dowager Zhou personally selected a group of court ladies to serve Zhu Youzhu.

Among them was a palace lady, 29 years old, named Lin Pan'er.

After two years, King Xing has become a teenager.Youth is ignorant, full of vigor.

He inherited the glorious tradition of his father, Emperor Chenghua.Falling in love with Lin Pan'er, a woman 17 years older than himself.

Late one night, he lured Lin Pan'er to a secluded place to force him, but Lin Pan'er half pushed and half agreed, and the two tried it secretly.One became a real woman, and the other became a real man.

In the seventh year of Hongzhi, King Xing chose his concubine. The 36-year-old Lin Pan'er naturally couldn't be on the candidate list, and couldn't be the nominal woman of His Highness King Xing.

After King Xing got married, he became a fan of Anlu Prefecture.

Lin Pan'er is too old to accompany her.She was sent out of the palace and assigned to a policeman in Shuntian Prefecture to be his wife.

In recent years, King Xing has repeatedly sent people back to Beijing to give money to Lin Pan'er.

After King Xing returned to Beijing this time, he couldn't wait to see his good sister Lin Pan'er.Even though Lin Pan'er is already a woman in her forties, he doesn't dislike her at all.

Hence, after the banquet on the night of his return to Beijing, he did not return directly to Prince Xing's Mansion.

King Xing changed into casual clothes in the king's chariot, and only brought his confidant Lu Song with him.Went to the upper room of an inn to meet Lin Pan'er, and stayed tenderly for an hour.

In this hour.Lu Song has been standing outside the bedroom.

Lu Song doesn't know if King Xing is like an ordinary man who likes to take a nap after work.

He didn't know whether Lin Pan'er secretly opened the ribbon bag containing the small seal while King Xing was taking a nap.

After listening to Lu Song's narration, Chang Feng slapped the table: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Lu Song said: "Master Chang, His Highness had sex with a 40-year-old woman in an inn. If it gets out, it will be bad for His Highness' reputation."

"So I can't say it easily."

Chang Feng got up: "That's all. I won't pursue this matter with you."

I have already got the clues, so I naturally have to follow the clues to find out.

Half an hour later, a large courtyard in the south of the city.

Hundreds of knights rode to the courtyard.The leader is naturally Changfeng.

The door of the courtyard was bolted.Captain Xi Lang climbed over the wall and opened the door latch.People poured into the courtyard.

This courtyard is populated by the arresting officers and government servants of Shuntian Prefecture.There are four households in total.

One of the yamen servants heard the noise and shouted to the outside of the courtyard: "Which thieves dare to steal our courtyard at night? Do you know that this courtyard is where officials from Shuntian Prefecture live?"

Fatty Xu shouted: "Jin Yiwei handles the case! Come out to me!"

The four families quickly lit the lamps.The four Patriarchs came out with their clothes on.

Chang Feng asked: "Whose wife's surname is Lin, and her real name is Lin Pan'er. Did she come from the palace?"

A policeman cupped his hands: "Go back to work. You're talking about my wife."

Chang Feng asked: "Oh? What's your name? What position?"

The policeman replied: "Little Zhou Rui. He is a second-class fastman in the Shuntianfu police station."

Chang Feng asked again: "Oh? How many people are there in the family?"

Detective Zhou quickly replied: "Young one, cheap wife, and two children."

Chang Feng didn't ask any more questions.He entered the east room where Zhou Kuai lived, drove the two children out, and interrogated Lin Pan'er.

Chang Feng took a closer look, and found that Lin Pan'er was indeed in her mid-mature, very charming and charming.In terms of charm, it is no less than Cuiniang, the maid in the house.

No wonder he gave her to the king in the year of dancing the spoon.
Chang Feng didn't talk nonsense to her, and just burst out: "Who told you to steal King Xing's seal! Don't tell me, your husband, your two children will die with you!"

Lin Pan'er looked at Chang Feng in horror.

Chang Feng directly ordered Fatty Xu: "Go, throw her two sons into the well first."

Lin Pan'er quickly threw herself down in front of Chang Feng, and put her arms around Chang Feng's ankle: "My lord, please forgive me. I will tell you everything. I just ask you to let my two sons go."

Chang Feng said: "Name! I need a name! Who ordered you?"

Lin Pan'er replied: "Shuntian Mansion arrests the house and arrests the head, Zhao Sihu."

Chang Feng said: "Be more careful. Why did you help Zhao Sihu and steal King Xing's seal?"

Lin Pan'er replied: "My lord, I can't help it either! I don't know how His Highness sent someone to send me money, so let Zhao Sihu know."

"The day before King Xing entered Beijing, Zhao Sihu suddenly found me."

"He told me that he knew about my relationship with His Highness. If he made it public, Concubine Jiang would kill my whole family."

"Then he threatened me and asked me to find an opportunity to steal His Highness's small seal and stamp it on a piece of white paper. If the matter is done, he will keep his mouth shut."

Chang Feng said to himself: "So that's the case. Why is the name Zhao Sihu so familiar?"

Fatty Xu said from the side: "Cough! Isn't it the backbone of the group of people who specialize in secret errands that Li Guang recruited?"

Li Guang has always had a dream to reopen the West Factory and serve as the governor of the West Factory.Become the second Wang Zhi.

In recent years, Li Guang has been urging Emperor Hongzhi to re-establish the West Factory to check and balance the East Factory and Jinyiwei.

Emperor Hongzhi has been persuaded by him.There is the intention to reset the West Factory.He ordered Li Guang to prepare secretly.

Naturally, Li Guang wanted to recruit a group of people who specialize in secret errands in the capital.

The secret agent of the Supervision Department of the Criminal Ministry and the arrester of the Shuntian Mansion are both suitable candidates.

Zhao Sihu, the head arrester of Shuntian Mansion, was on the list of Xichang soldiers drawn up by Li Guang.

Although the West Factory has not yet been established, Zhao Sihu and his group have already taken refuge in Li Guang.In the original yamen, he collected information and handled secret missions for Li Guang.

They only waited for Emperor Hongzhi's will to reopen the West Factory, and they officially transferred to the West Factory.

Dongchang and Jinyiwei knew about this matter.In order to prevent Li Guang from getting bigger, he fought against the old factory guard.Jin Yiwei monitored this group of people.

Chang Feng slapped his head: "So it's him! I said the name sounds familiar!"

Fatty Xu said excitedly: "Hey. Now we can hug grass and beat rabbits. Not only can we clear up the wrongs of King Xing, but we can also get rid of that guy Li Guang! Wonderful!"

Changfeng runs around the case, continue!

At Yinshi, everyone came to the courtyard where Zhao Sihu, the leader of Shuntian Mansion, was arrested.

In order to prevent Zhao Sihu from escaping, Chang Feng first asked people to surround the courtyard.

Then it was still the old way, climbing over the wall and opening the door bolt.

After a stick of incense, the bearded Zhao Sihu was tied up and brought in front of Chang Feng.

Chang Feng said: "Zhao Sihu, you are so brave, you dare to frame the vassal king!"

Zhao Sihu didn't panic at all when he saw the Jinyiwei in the courtyard: "It's Jinyiwei's Master Chang. You used to go to Shuntian Mansion on business, and I met you."

"I belong to Eunuch Li, Supervisor of Ceremonies. You have no right to arrest me."

Chang Feng laughed loudly: "I have no right to arrest you? What a big tone! Third-rank officials and Jin Yiwei will be arrested if they want to be arrested, punished if they want to be punished, and killed if they want to kill!"

"A headhunter with no rank dares to pretend to be big in front of me?"

Zhao Sihu said: "No matter how big Jinyiwei is, it is no bigger than the inspector of ceremonies! Besides, Master Chang knows that the West Factory will reopen in a short time! By then, I will be the one hundred households in charge of punishment in the West Factory."

"The West Factory supervises the East Factory and Jinyiwei!"

Chang Feng was in no mood and had no time to talk nonsense with Zhao Sihu.

He directly said to Qian Ning: "Use the big memory recovery technique!"

Nails are nailed to the feet, salt is sprinkled on the wounds; tiger stools; playing the pipa.

Once the three major punishments were given, Zhao Sihu directly turned into Zhao Simiao.

He wished he could recruit needles from someone's house that he had stolen when he was a child, and widows who had been bathing in someone's house when he was a child.

Zhao Sihu confessed that Li Guang ordered him to find a way to stamp King Xing's small seal on a piece of white paper.

It happened by chance.Zhao Sihu has been collecting information for Li Guang for the past six months.

He knew that Lin Pan'er, the woman of Zhou Rui's family under his command, had an affair with King Xing.

So he threatened Lin Pan'er, and after being gentle with King Xing, he stole King Xing's small seal while King Xing was asleep.

After Shi Wenyi finished writing the statement, Zhao Sihu signed it and made a deposit.

With this confession, Li Guang's head might be lost!

Chang Feng ordered Qian Ning to go back to Jinyiwei to collect all the officials' secret files related to sending "yellow rice" and "white rice" to Li Guang.

This battle between the No. [-] idler of the Jinyiwei and the celebrity supervisor of ceremonies is not only about victory, but also about life and death.

Before dawn, Chang Feng went to the palace.

Emperor Hongzhi had already got up, and the little eunuchs helped him change into the dragon robe.He is recuperating on the dragon chair with his eyes closed, waiting for the morning court at Fengtian Gate.

Xiao Jingdao: "Report to the emperor, Changfeng asks to see you."

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned: "So early? Could it be that the mutiny and rebellion have been investigated? Let him in."

When Chang Feng saw Emperor Hongzhi, he turned his head and bowed: "My Majesty, the case of framing has come to light."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Oh my god! It's because you, Changfeng, are able to do things well! I gave you a two-day deadline. You found out in less than five hours."

"what is the problem?"

Chang Feng replied: "Li Guang, the supervisor of ceremonies, ordered people to steal the small seal of King Xing, forge the order to dispatch troops, and frame King Xing for rebellion!"

After finishing speaking, Chang Feng presented the confessions of Lin Pan'er and Zhao Sihu.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he didn't say a word.

Chang Feng said: "Your Majesty, Li Guang has committed such a heinous crime that he dared to frame the vassal king! He should be arrested immediately."

Emperor Hongzhi said meaningfully: "Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, is the queen's confidant. If you say so, you will be arrested. Isn't it good?"

Chang Feng frowned, and thought to himself: Is the emperor going to protect Li Guang?
So Chang Feng hastily added information to Li Guang: "Report to the emperor. Li Guang dared to forge the order to transfer troops today and frame the vassal king. Tomorrow he dared to send troops to rebel!"

Emperor Hongzhi said, "It's an exaggeration."

As soon as the words "exaggerated" came out, Chang Feng's heart skipped a beat.

Does the emperor really want to shield Li Guang this time?

Emperor Hongzhi said another sentence: "The palm prints and pens of the supervisor of ceremonies are all my confidantes!"

Chang Feng carefully pondered what Emperor Hongzhi said.

More than ten years of experience in officialdom and the court gave him a keen sense of politics.

He suddenly understood!

Li Guang is arrogant, domineering, reckless, greedy and sycophant, because he has too much power in the past few years.

Who gave Li Guang the power?It is nothing more than Emperor Hongzhi.

If the confidant eunuch who was reused by Emperor Hongzhi was so bold as to frame the vassal king.Written in the history books, the history books will evaluate whether Emperor Hongzhi is a wise emperor or a faint emperor?
Emperor Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty paid the most attention to reputation!

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly added another sentence: "However, he did such a horrific thing, and it is impossible not to punish him."

"How to punish and what reason to punish, you should think about it carefully."

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "Yes, Your Majesty. I will take my leave first."

Walking out of Qianqing Palace, Chang Feng knew it clearly.Emperor Hongzhi became murderous towards Li Guang.But what reason to use to kill Li Guang is a lot of knowledge!
Neither Li Guang can be allowed to escape justice, nor can the reputation of Emperor Hongzhi be damaged.

After two quarters of effort, Yumen came to court early.

Li Guang's henchman, Wang Chanyun from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs sent out the case: "Report to the emperor, King Xing colluded with Chang Feng, Shi Wenzhong, and Zhang Yong to mobilize troops to encircle the imperial garden, conspire against others, and intend to rebel. The evidence is conclusive."

"Conspiracy is an unforgivable crime. King Xing should be dismissed immediately. Chang Feng, Shi Wenzhong, and Zhang Yong should be dismissed and sent to prison. After the case is clarified, the official punishment will be announced."

"Following the old practice, the factory guard should be responsible for the investigation of the case of treason."

"Cabinet Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Heavenly Official Ma Wensheng, Xia Official Liu Daxia, have a close personal relationship with Chang Feng on weekdays, so they should avoid this case!"

Li Guang is currently in charge of the factory guard temporarily, and Wang Chanyun's performance is equivalent to saying: Your Majesty, you should hand over this case to Li Guang alone.

Li Guang secretly rejoiced: literati still have brains!How could I have forgotten that there is a strict recusal system in the criminal law of the Ming Dynasty.

Those five people have a good relationship with Chang Feng, so naturally they should avoid them!
The adjudicator went from six to me alone.Things are easy to handle!It's as easy for me to kill Chang Feng as shaking an egg to turn it yellow.

Chang Feng was in a tangle at the moment.To produce evidence to prove that Li Guang planted the frame will damage the emperor's name.

If you don't produce evidence, you, King Xing and others will continue to suffer injustice.

What an unsolvable problem!
Unexpectedly, Emperor Hongzhi helped Chang Feng solve the problem!

Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly: "Wang Qing, why didn't I know about the rebellion in Yuyuan that you said?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Guang's party members were all stunned.

Li Guangdao: "Your Majesty, yesterday"

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and interrupted Li Guang: "You mean the cavalry from the Fenwu Camp went to the Royal Garden yesterday?"

"Oh, it's the soldiers I instructed Xing Wang and Chang Feng to tune! I see that the big Han generals have been neglecting training recently, and they are not good at riding and shooting. I am afraid that they will let go of an old white-haired wolf."

"I asked them to mobilize armed cavalry to hunt down the white-haired old wolf."

Li Guang said that King Xing and Chang Feng rebelled because they "deployed troops privately".

Now that Emperor Hongzhi said that the deployment of troops was ordered by him, it is not "privately".

Rebellion will not be established!
Li Guang was dumbfounded: Good fellow.The emperor is playing a rascal!
There is no cure for local ruffians playing rogues, but there is no cure for emperors playing rogues!
Wang Chanyun, who was out of class to participate in the impeachment, was stuck in place like a wooden stake.He didn't know what to say.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled slightly: "It's all a misunderstanding! King Xing, Chang Feng, Shi Wenzhong, and Zhang Yong are innocent."

"Oh, by the way, Qian Neng was slightly ill yesterday, so I asked Li Guang to act as the eunuch of the East Factory."

"Qian Neng has recovered from the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician. From now on, Qian Neng will resume his position as the admiral of Qian Neng's East Factory."

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing understood and said loudly: "It's nothing to leave the court!"

All the officials dispersed, and Li Guang stood in the empty courtyard in front of Fengtian Gate without saying a word.

Chang Feng walked up to Li Guang: "Eunuch Li, are you ready?"

Li Guang asked, "What are you ready for?"

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "Are you ready to die?"

Li Guang went to the graveyard and hummed a ditty, emphasizing himself: "Why should I prepare to die? I am the empress's number one confidant, and the pen of the supervisor of ceremonies!"

"Who dares to let me die? Who will let me die?"

Chang Feng pointed to himself: "I dare to let you die. I can let you die!"

After saying this, Chang Feng strode away from Qianguangting.

After returning to Jinyiwei, Qian Ning put a thick stack of papers in front of Chang Feng.

Qian Ning said: "I really don't know if I don't count. I was shocked when I counted. Just what our Jin Yiwei has, the bribes given to Li Guang by hundreds of officials, add up to 21 taels of silver and 9000 taels of gold."

"If you add what we don't know, it will be a shocking number."

Chang Feng flipped through the stack of papers carefully, and then told Qian Ning, "Burn it."

Qian Ning was taken aback: "Burn it? Master Chang, Li Guang wants your life. You won't retaliate?"

"Let Li Guang go, it's like a tiger going back to the mountain!"

Chang Feng explained patiently: "Brother Qian, look at the list of bribes yourself."

"In recent years, Li Guang has been favored and has great influence. Those who bribed him include Gong, Hou, Bo, Dudu, Zongbing, Shangshu, Shilang, Du Yushi, governor, and magistrate."

"Li Guang celebrated his birthday, and even the elders of the three cabinets gave congratulatory silver as a courtesy."

"If you want to track down Li Guang who took bribes, you need to track down the nobles and officials who gave bribes."

"Among these people, there are a large number of people who are relied on by the emperor. Are you going to force the emperor to raise a big case, so that the Hongzhi Dynasty will have melons and vines?"

"The emperor's most trusted confidant, the eunuch, received astronomical bribes from the emperor's most important officials. When it is written in the history books, where is the emperor's holy name?"

"We Jinyiwei are the emperor's domestic slaves. We must protect the emperor's reputation at all times!"

After finishing speaking, Qian Ning gave a thumbs up: "It's still Master Chang who is thoughtful. But you just swallowed this matter like this?"

Chang Feng sneered: "Oh, swallow your anger? I want Li Guang to be lost forever!"

"It's just that the reason I killed Li Guang was not to frame the feudal lord, nor was it to take bribes."

Qian Ning asked: "Dare to ask Master Chang, what is the reason?"

Chang Feng said: "Li Guang usually likes to encourage the emperor to build large-scale construction projects. He wants to profit from it, right?"

Qian Ning replied: "Yes! There is a lot of oil and water in the royal project! Li Guang can take charge of any project, and he can earn a lot of money."

"But, Master Chang, didn't you just say that the reason you killed Li Guang wasn't corruption and bribery?"

Chang Feng said three things: "Last winter, Li Guang urged the emperor to build the Yuxiu Pavilion on Long Live Mountain. In February of this year, the Yuxiu Pavilion was completed."

"In March, the emperor's younger sister, Princess Xianyou, died of illness."

"In April, a fire broke out in Qingning Palace."

"These three things are enough to make Li Guang lose his head!"

Qian Ning was puzzled: "These three things are not related!"

Chang Feng said with a smile: "Everything in the world is related. It just depends on what people say."

On the way back to Jinyiwei from Fengtianmen, Chang Feng had already figured out how to bring down Li Guang.

As far as the whole person is concerned, Jin Yiwei is a professional.Chang Feng has been in Jinyiwei for 16 years, and he has long been familiar with this.

Chang Feng asked Qian Ning, "Where is Taoist Zhang?"

Qian Ning replied: "Daoist Zhang went to Qingfeng in the western suburbs to pay respect to the Sanqing."

Chang Feng ordered: "You send someone to get him back, just say that I have something important to discuss with him."

Qian Ning took the order and left, and returned to the room after a while: "Master Chang, the person has already been dispatched."

Chang Feng nodded: "Well, let's wait for Taoist Zhang to come back in the house. He will be the knife to kill Li Guang."

Waited until noon.Liu Jin suddenly walked into the guard room: "Little uncle, the empress asked me to pass a message to you."

Chang Feng asked, "Oh? What did you say?"

Liu Jindao: "The Empress said, Li Guang and you are like her right arm. Don't fight with each other. It's not good."

Chang Feng asked: "Li Guang was looking for the empress at noon?"

Liu Jin nodded slightly.

After the morning court, Li Guang felt that something was wrong.Immediately ran to Kunning Palace, hugged Queen Zhang's feet and wept bitterly, saying that Chang Feng was planning to kill him.

Empress Zhang's ears are soft, and her heart is even softer.Everywhere is soft all over the body.

So she asked Liu Jin to pass on a message, telling Chang Feng not to fight Li Guang.

After hearing what Liu Jin said, Qian Ning said, "Master Chang is broken. The Empress wants to protect Li Guang. Then we can't move Li Guang by any means."

"You know, the emperor listens to the empress's words the most."

Liu Jin said: "What Qian Qian said is true! To be honest, little uncle. In the entire capital, the person who wants Li Guang's decapitated most is my nephew."

"But the empress has spoken. No one can touch Li Guang."

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "In the harem, is Queen Zhang the biggest?"

In the afternoon, Taoist Zhang finally came back.

Chang Feng invited Daoshi Zhang to the duty room, and explained to him so and so, so and so.

The next day, the Compassion Palace.

Taoist Zhang came to preach to the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Taoist Zhang talked nonsense, coaxing the old lady into a daze.

After a while, Taoist Zhang began to talk about the Yuxiu Pavilion on Long Live Mountain according to Chang Feng's instructions.

Zhang Daoshi said: "The Empress Dowager, Princess Xianyou died in February this year. In March, there was another fire in Qingning Palace. It can be said that the inner palace is unlucky! It may be a taboo."

The Empress Dowager Zhou quickly asked: "Ah? It's true when you say that! Tell me quickly, what age taboo has you committed?"

Daoist Zhang said: "You need to ask the hexagram with the helper."

The Empress Dowager Zhou said: "Set up the altar quickly!"

Not long after, the altar of gods, altars, and altars were set up in the back hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Taoist Zhang offered incense to the Sanqing Shangxian, and then made formulas and recited mantras.

After a while, Daoshi Zhang lay down straight on the ground like a wooden stake.

He started foaming at the mouth.After spitting out the white foam, he wriggled on the ground like a maggot.

All of a sudden, he jumped up like a big agile toad, his eyes rolled up, revealing the whites of his eyes.

Daoist Zhang shouted in a creepy tone: "I am Taiqing Daode Tianzun!"

The Empress Dowager Zhou knelt down to Taoist Zhang and said reverently: "Dare to ask the Taiqing Daode Tianzun, my poor little Liu has passed away. A fire broke out in the palace within a month. What kind of taboo did you commit?"

Taoist Zhang picked up a smooth and round branch.Twitching all over, he scribbled on the sand table.

After a while, Taoist Zhang fell to the ground and started to foam again, wriggling like a maggot, and got up again.

The Empress Dowager Zhou asked, "The gods are gone?"

Taoist Zhang nodded: "Well, let's go."

The two came to the sand table.I saw the word "Yu" scrawled on the sand table.

The Empress Dowager Zhou asked, "What does this mean?"

Taoist Zhang pretended to be thinking hard.After a while, he slapped his head: "Understood. Ah! So that's how it is!"

The Empress Dowager Zhou was a little anxious: "What's going on, tell me quickly."

Taoist Zhang said: "Last winter, Li Guang suggested that the emperor break ground on the Long Live Mountain and build the Yuxiu Pavilion. The Yuxiu Pavilion occupies a character 'Yu'."

"Where is Long Live Mountain? That's where the luck of the imperial palace lies! How can it break through the ground so easily?"

"It is precisely because of the construction of the Yuxiu Pavilion that the luck of the palace has been broken, resulting in a taboo!"

"That is to say, the culprit for the death of Princess Xianyou and the fire in the palace is Li Guang!"

The Empress Dowager Zhou had an almost blind superstition towards Taoist Zhang.

She said: "So that's how it is!"

Daoist Zhang took the opportunity to speak ill of Li Guang: "The two uncles of the Zhang family had a fight with the uncle of the Zhou family."

"Actually, Empress Zhang's two younger brothers respect your family the most!"

"It's well known that Li Guang and Uncle Zhang Jiaguo are friends. The fight back then was all instigated by Li Guang!"

A few years ago, the fight between the uncle of the country at the fish market in Maoguyanzi Street caused a sensation in the capital.For this matter, the Empress Dowager Zhou ignored Empress Zhang for three months.

Daoist Zhang raised his eyebrows, and the Empress Dowager Zhou was furious: "Just say Aijia! The queen has always been respectful to Aijia. How could his two younger brothers fight with Aijia's younger brother?"

"So it was Li Guang who instigated it!"

Daoist Zhang nodded: "It's a small crime for Li Guang to instigate the relationship between the emperor's relatives. It's a big crime for forcing the emperor to build the Yuxiu Pavilion, causing the princess to die and the palace to catch fire!"

"If this person is not removed, there may be some troubles in the palace in the future!"

It turned out that Chang Feng wanted to get rid of Li Guang with the help of the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Queen Zhang is not the biggest in the harem.The real master of the harem is the old grandmother of Emperor Hongzhi!
If the Empress Dowager speaks out to get rid of Li Guang, Empress Zhang will not be able to keep her even if she wants to!

The whole person is not in the means, but in the result.

As long as Li Guang can be overthrown and achieve the noble goal of sweeping out treacherous eunuchs for the court, it doesn't matter whether the means are dirty or not.

The Empress Dowager Zhou was instigated by Taoist Zhang, wishing she could tear Li Guang into pieces.

In the evening, Taoist Zhang left the palace and returned to Jinyiwei.

Chang Feng stood in front of the gate of Jinyiwei, anxiously waiting for his figure.

Finally, Taoist Zhang got out of the sedan chair, and cupped his hands towards Chang Feng: "Master Chang."

Chang Feng quickly asked, "Has the matter been completed?"

Daoist Zhang whispered in Chang Feng's ear: "It's done. The Empress Dowager wishes she could peel off Li Guang's skin and eat Li Guang's flesh!"

Chang Feng clapped his hands: "Okay! Zhang Daoye, thanks to you this time."

Daoist Zhang sighed: "Everyone says I'm a godly man who pretends to be a ghost. But they forget that I, Jinyiwei Qianhu, have a heart of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country!"

"Sweeping out treacherous eunuchs is to serve the country loyally!"

Chang Feng cupped his hands towards Taoist Zhang: "The Daoist is righteous! Chang Feng is very impressed!"

Three days later, the Empress Dowager Zhou sent someone to ask Emperor Hongzhi to accompany her to visit Longevity Mountain.

The grandfather and grandson sat on the top of Longevity Mountain with eight people carrying them.The scenery of Longevity Mountain is unobstructed.

The Empress Dowager Zhou suddenly pointed at Yu Xiuting: "Tian'er, what do you think Yu Xiuting looks like?"

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Dare to ask the emperor's grandmother, what do you think it looks like?"

Empress Dowager Zhou revealed a look of displeasure: "It's like a wedge, wedged into the dragon vein of Longevity Mountain!"

Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback: "Ah?"

The Empress Dowager Zhou said: "The Ai family has ordered the people in the Qin Tianjian to look at it. Longevity Mountain is where the luck of the palace lies."

"This Yuxiu Pavilion has cut off the luck of the palace, causing the palace to commit a taboo!"

"The death of your sixth sister and the fire in Qingning Palace were all caused by Sui Ji!"

The people of Qin Tianjian were naturally coerced and lured by Chang Feng, so they had the same caliber as Taoist Zhang.

The Empress Dowager Zhou asked: "Which person with ulterior motives suggested that you build the Yuxiu Pavilion?"

Emperor Hongzhi replied, "Li Guang."

The Empress Dowager Zhou uttered a sentence recorded in "Ming Shilu": "Li Guang today, Li Guang tomorrow, it really will be a disaster!"
