Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 93 Clues exposed! Zhang Chonghui is dead!
  Beizhen Fusi.

Chen Yin was reporting Zhang Chonghui's whereabouts to Luo Sigong and said:

"After Zhang Chonghui threatened Shen Yiguan, he went to the residence of Sun Piyang, Li Shida, Lu Guangzu, Shen Li, Zhao Zhigao and Yu Shenxing respectively.

According to the news from Fanzi, Zhang Chonghui's purpose in going to these people's houses seems to be just to borrow money.

As a result, these people basically ignored him, and only Shen Li and Yu Shenxing let him in.

Zhang Chonghui didn't go into the house of these two people for a long time, and he came out in less than a cup of tea.

Judging from his bulging sleeves, he seemed to have borrowed a lot of money.

It was already dark at that time, so he did not go back to the Zhao Mansion. Instead, he went to a brothel on the street that was opened after the curfew, and rested until dawn this morning before returning to the Zhao Mansion. "

Chen Yin had finished reporting, but Luo Sigong's face was already green. He asked strangely: "He actually knows where to go to visit the brothels?"

Chen Yin touched his nose in embarrassment and replied: "Maybe...you have nothing to do, right? It seems like you just took a bath, changed your clothes, and took a nap again."

"That's not it!" Luo Sigong waved his hands repeatedly and frowned: "I mean, how long has he been in Beijing? How did he know so quickly where the brothels were open after the curfew? This is wrong! He must not have entered Beijing recently. Beijing! He must have entered Beijing a long time ago!"

"Uh..." Chen Yin was embarrassed again. In fact, he really wanted to say that the security in the capital is now lax. There are still such brothels open after the curfew, and they can be found almost everywhere on the streets. There is no need to look carefully, right?

Chen Yin really felt that Luo Sigong was a little crazy, but he didn't say anything out loud because his previous 'proposals' had all been strongly refuted by the other party.

Chen Yin has been with Luo Sigong for so many years, and he knows Luo Sigong's temper very well. He is a boss who is unwilling to give up until he hits the wall.

Instead of taking the initiative to find the other party's displeasure, it is better to follow the other party's wishes. Anyway, if something goes wrong, the boss, Luo Sigong, will be scolded more.

"By the way, boss." Chen Yin asked about other things: "If nothing else happens, Shen Yiguan should have been involved in spreading the demon book in private. Do we want to investigate in detail?"

"Absolutely not!" Luo Sigong raised his hand and refused in a very anxious and panic manner:
  "Now, Shen Yiguan is not the only one who is secretly fueling the flames and deliberately spreading demonic books! There are not many ministers in this court who have clean butts!
  Did you investigate in such detail because you wanted the emperor to see that all his ministers were unfaithful and unfilial? Do you want to make the saint angry and damage the saint's dragon body? ? "

Luo Sigong spoke in a high-sounding way, but those who didn't know really thought he was afraid that His Majesty the Emperor would be angry and hurt the dragon's body when he learned the 'truth'.

In fact, everyone understands why.

Chen Yin didn't understand at first, but after being scolded by Luo Sigong, he understood.

It is not difficult to investigate Shen Yiguan. The difficulty is that if Shen Yiguan is investigated, it will affect the whole body!
  When the time comes, almost all the ministers in the court will be involved! The more people involved, the bigger things will get!
  The bigger the matter becomes, it means that these royal guards, who are the 'Emperor's Eyes', are not doing their jobs well on weekdays!

If His Majesty the Emperor knew that the court had become such a mess, it would be more than just a matter of them losing their heads!

When the time comes, not only will they lose their heads, but the entire Dongchang and even their relatives will all be in bad luck!
  "In that case, let's not investigate." Knowing this, Chen Yin changed the subject and asked:

"Sun Piyang, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, has sent people here several times, saying that he would invite us to go to the Ministry of Punishment to discuss the relevant files together.

I have made excuses to shirk them several times, but if I continue to shirk them like this, it won't be a problem, right?

Moreover, if Eunuch Zhang Cheng asks, how should we explain it? "

Chen Yin's questions also made it difficult for Luo Sigong, even though he had vowed not long ago that even if something went wrong, Zhang Cheng would still be there to take care of it.

But these words are actually more of bragging and self-comfort to delay time.

Zhang Cheng can withstand it for a while, but if no evidence can be found to prove that Zhang Chonghui is the instigator of the 'demon book case', Zhang Cheng will be unable to withstand it!

If Zhang Cheng can't stand it anymore, then he, Luo Sigong, the commander of the Imperial Guard, will have to stand up!

If it really comes to that time, that point, it will really be doomed!

"Alas..." Luo Sigong couldn't help but had another headache. He rubbed his temples and replied helplessly:
  "Let's delay it for now. It can only be delayed for a while. I guess Sun Piyang is still undecided now. In this way, this case can be delayed for at least another day or two."

"Okay." Chen Yin had no choice but to nod in agreement, but then he thought again and said doubtfully:

"Boss, since you suspect that Zhang Chonghui is the mastermind behind the 'Demon Book Case', why don't you just torture him?"

This time, Luo Sigong didn't give an answer, he just smiled helplessly.

Why not use punishment? Do you think he, Luo Sigong, doesn't want to torture Zhang Chonghui?
  Almost from the moment he caught Zhang Chonghui, Luo Sigong already knew that the final straw in this 'demon book case' would be pinned on His Majesty the Emperor!
  If Zhang Chonghui was tortured from the beginning, but no strong evidence was found in the end to prove that Zhang Chonghui was the mastermind behind the 'Demon Book Case'!
  The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will definitely use this matter to make a big fuss, criticizing His Majesty the Emperor for being ruthless and unjust, and lacking the virtues that a saint should have!
  Was it because the Manchu ministers sympathized with Zhang Chonghui that he criticized the emperor? How can it be!

It has only been seven years since the house confiscation occurred. After the last house confiscation, His Majesty the Emperor came up with the idea of ​​opening the coffin and killing Zhang Juzheng's body. It can be said that he was sprayed all over by the Chinese civil servants!
  Did the ministers sympathize with Zhang Juzheng? Less likely!
  They just wanted to use this matter to "justifiably" scold their superior "sage king father"!
  In other words, until now, Zhang Chonghui is just a 'chess piece' used by the ministers to 'revenge' the emperor's father.

But this 'chess piece', he was willing to put himself into the game!

Luo Sigong's teeth were itching with hatred. He really wanted to catch Zhang Chonghui and beat him severely!
  But he can't! Because he hasn't found any valid evidence yet!
  Before he finds strong evidence, as long as he executes Zhang Chonghui, those ministers in the DPRK who call themselves 'gentlemen' will definitely seize this point to attack His Majesty the Emperor crazily!

Especially Yu Shenxing’s group!

If the aloof Emperor is accused by his ministers, he will certainly not admit that he is the one who is at fault.

At such times, it is often necessary to have a 'scapegoat' who can 'share the burden' for the saint.

Luo Sigong knew very well that when that time came, the only person who could take the blame for the saint would be himself...

"Damn it! How did this kid do it?" Luo Sigong rubbed his head irritably and carefully recounted the entire story of the demon book case.

Luo Sigong was almost certain that Zhang Chonghui had arrived in Beijing more than a month ago, otherwise it would have been impossible to arrange such a detailed demon book case in such a short period of time!

But according to the information obtained from various sources, almost all of them prove that Zhang Chonghui entered Beijing on August 20th!
  Emperor Wanli has not been in court for many years. The leaders above are already so lazy, and the people below are naturally not caring.

Therefore, the current defense of the capital can be said to be extremely lax, and even some people who have no way to lead can sneak into the capital by taking advantage of the chaos.

This is why Luo Sigong firmly believed that Zhang Chonghui had actually entered Beijing a long time ago.

"I don't believe it!" Luo Sigong clenched his fists and punched the pillar beside him, as if he was venting something.

After being a royal guard for so many years, Luo Sigong has always believed in one truth, that is: there is no airtight wall in the world!

"Since no clues can be found, then overturn everything and start the investigation from scratch!" Luo Sigong gritted his teeth and made such a decision!
  Immediately afterwards, Luo Sigong ordered someone to bring the information that he had found at the beginning, and looked through it carefully, preparing to start from the beginning!

At the very beginning of the Demon Book Case, the fool named Liu Erwu was wandering around the capital.

The first thing Luo Sigong did at that time, besides torture Liu Erwu, was to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the engraving shop in Quanying Tianfu.

The result of the investigation was that more than a month ago, there was a teenage boy who visited many engraving shops.

Moreover, the engraving that this young man asked an engraver to customize was very strange. He did not directly customize one article after another, but customized several words.

Luo Sigong was almost certain that this strange young man was Zhang Chonghui!

But it had been so long, and the engravers, who received countless customers every day, had long forgotten what that young man looked like. Even if they met Zhang Chonghui in person, they only gave some vague answers.

For example: "It seems to be him, right?" "It doesn't seem to be..."

Luo Sigong carefully checked the information from scratch. As he checked, he suddenly discovered a detail!
  "and many more!"

Luo Sigong seemed to have an epiphany! Eyes light up!

"Chen Yin!" Luo Sigong directly called Chen Yin's full name and asked with some excitement:

"On August 20th, the housekeeper of the Shen family went to the street and found the young man who claimed to be 'Zhang Chonghui'. How old was he approximately? What was his appearance?"

Chen Yin thought about it for a moment and replied: "He is about ten years old, and he looks quite upright. Mainly because according to the Shen family, that boy is a head shorter than the real Zhang Chonghui."

Luo Sigong asked again: "When the Ministry of Punishment interrogated Shen Shixing, how did Shen Shixing explain this matter?"

Chen Yin replied: "The explanation given by Shen Shixing is very nonsense. He said: The person is looking for the wrong person, but everyone is here, so we might as well stay and have a meal together."

"Everyone is here? Hahaha! Everyone is here!" Luo Sigong suddenly laughed, his smile was a little crazy, as if he had discovered something. Finally, he asked meaningfully:

"Chen Yin, let me ask you, if you were a member of the Zhang family, who would you choose to go to after entering the capital without any relatives? Except Zhao Shizhen!"

Chen Yin didn't quite understand Luo Sigong's innocent smile. He just thought that the other party was under too much pressure and was so tired that his brain was a little abnormal.

After thinking about it, Chen Yin replied: "If I were a member of the Zhang family... I couldn't go to Zhao Shizhen? Then... Shen Shixing? After all, he was promoted by Zhang Juzheng. But in the past few years, Shen Shixing's family has No one has come to seek refuge."

"Apart from Shen Shixing?" Luo Sigong said in a guiding light: "Who else in the court today dares to speak openly for Zhang Juzheng?"

Chen Yin almost didn't think about it and blurted out: "Who else can there be except Yu Shenxing..."

At this point, Chen Yin stopped. Almost instantly, he understood what Luo Sigong meant!
  "Boss, you mean..."

Chen Yingang wanted to ask something, but Luo Sigong interrupted directly:
  "You immediately take people to surround Yu Shenxing's home. You must find out who has been at Yu Shenxing's house during this time!

In addition, you also send people to search and interrogate the brothel where Zhang Chonghui rested last night!

If nothing else, what Zhang Chonghui brought out from Yu's house last night was definitely more than just money! He must have something there! "

……

Zhao Mansion. When Zhang Chonghui stepped into the gate of Zhao Mansion, the concierge thought he had seen the wrong person, so he didn't react for a while.

It should have been a good thing that the future uncle, who had been captured by Jin Yiwei for several days, came back in such a swagger.

However, the future uncle's return was so sudden that not only the concierge, but also the owner of Zhao Mansion, Zhao Shizhen, and his precious daughter Zhao Lanying, who was painting in the front yard, did not react.

"What are you drawing?"

Zhao Lanying was too immersed in painting, so it wasn't until she heard a strange male voice in her ears that she realized that someone was standing next to her.

Looking up in a blink of an eye, the other person happened to withdraw his gaze from her painting, and they were caught off guard, and their eyes met.

In Zhao Lanying's world, the air seemed to have solidified at that moment.

Facts have proved that Zhao Lanying has indeed 'frozen'. Her reaction is slower than that of normal people, and her brain is completely idle at this moment.

She had made no movement except staring motionlessly at the person in front of her.

Just when Zhang Chonghui was wondering why the little girl was 'not moving', Zhao Shizhen's furious voice came from behind!

"Wonderful son-in-law! Why are you back! Ouch! Someone is here! Send the lady back to the backyard quickly! It's windy in the front yard! Don't get cold!"

Zhao Shizhen's face turned pale with anxiety, and he winked wildly at the dumbfounded little maid beside him.

Facts have proved that if people stay together for a long time, they will become more and more alike. This little maid seemed to be 'infected' by her lady. She actually took a long time to realize and 'drag' her lady away. .

For a moment, Zhao Shizhen's hurry and panic, the little maid's stunned expression, and Zhao Lanying's dumbfounded expression all fell into Zhang Chonghui's eyes.

Zhang Chonghui seemed to understand something, but did not show it. He still bowed to Zhao Shizhen very calmly as usual.

Seeing that his future son-in-law didn't seem to have 'discovered' anything, Zhao Shizhen breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly changed the subject and asked about Zhang Chonghui's 'experience' in the past few days...

……

Zhao Lanying's reaction was half a beat slower than normal people, but this time, her reaction was dozens and a half beats slower.

It wasn't until she was 'dragged' back to the backyard by the little maid that she finally reacted.

"That person just now, he is...he is..."

Zhao Lanying stuttered. The girl's shyness seemed to be as slow as her reaction. It was not until this moment that the blush quickly spread all over her face.

For a moment, Zhao Lanying blushed as if she had just taken a hot bath, and she was extremely excited and nervous.

"Yes, miss, that is my uncle just now." When the little maid replied, seeing her young lady blushing like this, she couldn't help but feel a little proud and said:

"So, I didn't lie to you, did I? When I told you that my future uncle was very tall and handsome, you still didn't believe me!"

Zhao Lanying covered her hot face at a loss, as if she wanted to bury her face in her hands. Although she had closed her eyes tightly, the handsome eyebrows that suddenly broke into her sight had been deeply engraved on her It lingers in my mind.

"He, he, he...he looks..."

Zhao Lanying has never been good at expressing herself, so she racked her brains for a long time, but she couldn't think of a word that could describe her fiancé.

However, "stupid person" has its own way of expressing "stupid person". Zhao Lanying still found the words that can describe her future husband:

"He! His eyes are beautiful! His eyebrows are so shaped! He... his mouth is also beautiful! His nose is also beautiful! His ears... his ears seem to be beautiful too! Anyway, he looks good everywhere!"

The girl covered her face and smiled excitedly. Although her movements were a little silly, she still couldn't hide the burning enthusiasm that only belonged to her, Zhao Lanying.

However, the joy did not last long. Zhao Lanying, who had always reacted very slowly, seemed to suddenly remember something and exclaimed:
  "Oops! I promised my father not to see him! But I've already seen his face, what should I do?"

The little maid comforted her nonchalantly: "What's the matter? Miss, you and your uncle are going to get married in the future anyway. What does it matter if you meet early and meet later? The couple will have to sleep in the same bed in the future!"

"Sleeping under the same bed? Doesn't that sound good? My bed is too small for two people."

Zhao Lanying didn't know what this meant yet. She just felt that her small bed couldn't fit the big man of her fiancé.

The little maid actually didn't know what this meant, but when faced with her young lady's 'problem', she still gave an answer:
  "You should still be able to sleep if you squeeze in a little bit."

……

forecourt.

Zhao Shizhen has already learned about Zhang Chonghui's 'experience' in the past few days.

"Speaking of my father-in-law, where is my fifth uncle?" Zhang Chonghui asked this question.

Zhao Shizhen's face froze and he hesitated: "My uncle... seems... to have gone out to live?"

Seeing Zhao Shizhen hesitating like this, Zhang Chonghui also guessed the answer. He guessed that, if nothing unexpected happened, from the moment his 'son-in-law' was kidnapped by the Jin Yiwei, Zhao Shizhen decided that it was impossible for him to come back.

Since the 'son-in-law' can't come back, there is no need for Zhang Yunxiu, the already disgusting uncle-in-law, to stay.

"Master Zhao." Although Zhang Chonghui's attitude was still gentle, he suddenly changed his name and stopped calling him 'Master Yue Zhang'. He said again:

"I know there is a quarrel between you and my fifth uncle, but he is my biological uncle and an elder who is related to me by blood.

If, for the sake of my own security, I leave my uncle alone and let him wander around, that would be unfaithful, unfilial, ruthless and unvirtuous. "

Seeing Zhang Chonghui suddenly say such words, Zhao Shizhen suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart!

Just when he was about to ask something, he heard Zhang Chonghui say seriously again:

"Master Zhao, the case of the demon book is still unknown, and I am deeply involved in it. If nothing else happens, I may not be able to escape safely from this case.

Just now I have witnessed the beauty of this noble daughter. I, Zhang, am now a guilty person and know that I am not worthy of such a beautiful woman.

Now that my fifth uncle is away and there is no elder to come forward, I will make the decision myself.

Therefore, let’s forget about our marriage. The mountains are high and the water is far away. From now on, we are far apart in the sky. I wish you all your money to find your beloved. Zhang said goodbye. "

After Zhang Chonghui finished speaking, he bowed his hands to Zhao Shizhen, as if saying his final farewell.

This time, Zhao Shizhen was completely dumbfounded...

"No... you are a good son-in-law..."

"Hey! Dear son-in-law, please don't leave! What will my Ying'er do if you leave..."

……

Zhang Chonghui was busy 'breaking off the engagement'.

At the same time, the Yu Mansion in the capital was in chaos.

……

After all, Luo Sigong couldn't restrain his excitement, so he personally brought the royal guards to Yu Shenxing's home.

Looking at the handsome thirteen-year-old boy in front of him, Luo Sigong greeted him with a strange smile:

"Zhang Jingxiu, do you still remember me?"

Zhang Jingxiu did not answer Luo Sigong. The thirteen-year-old child seemed a little afraid of the cruel official in front of him, so he only hid behind Yu Shenxing.

"Is hiding useful?" Luo Sigong sneered coldly. He turned to look at Yu Shenxing, whose face was ashen, and said meaningfully:
  "I didn't expect that the 'Zhang Chonghui' who went to Shen Shixing's house that day was actually hiding in your house, Minister.

Tsk tsk tsk, Yu Shangshu, you said you are so good, why do you want to get involved with someone like Zhang Chonghui? You are looking for death! "

While speaking, Luo Sigong took the page of the demon book that Chen Yin and his men had found from the kiln, and slapped it hard on Yu Shenxing's chest!

Yu Shenxing did not pick up the page of the demon book, but stared at Luo Sigong with a livid face.

Just when the atmosphere was tense, the Jin Yiwei who searched the Yu Mansion also got news:

"Report! Boss! Found it! There are many, many engravings!"

Luo Sigong was immediately overjoyed when he heard this. While gritting his teeth, he looked wildly and said:
  "Zhang Chonghui, Zhang Chonghui! This time! You are dead!"

　There are fewer and fewer follow-up orders, and fewer and fewer new additions...

　　They are all raising books, but they have given up on them...

　　I saw a boss say that I have few chapters, but I have many words...

　　One chapter is better than three chapters. It is very thick and long, not short...
