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

Chapter 95 Private meeting! Shen Shixing’s compromise!
  "are you crazy?!"

Luo Sigong seriously felt that Zhang Chonghui was a complete lunatic! A madman even crazier than Luo Sigong!

"How dare you think so! Put the matter on Concubine Zheng? Do you not know how much the emperor loves this concubine? Or do you not know how to write the word "death"?

Faced with Luo Sigong's 'lethal' question, Zhang Chonghui asked in turn: "Why don't you dare to think about it? How about dragging it on the civil servants? Dragging everyone down?"

"That's enough!" Luo Sigong couldn't help scolding: "You have dragged everyone down now!"

"Ah, that seems to be the case." Zhang Chonghui said with a belated look, "Since everyone is already in the water, let's make the water muddy."

At this moment, in Luo Sigong's eyes, Zhang Chonghui is a complete lunatic! A madman who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, even daring to 'get in' with himself!
  This was the first time Luo Sigong met such a 'crazy' person. Unconsciously, he subconsciously took two steps back.

However, the current situation cannot be solved by retreating. Luo Sigong had no choice but to ask in a compromised manner:

"If you want to cooperate, you have to show some sincerity, right? What clues can you provide me now?"

"Of course." Zhang Chonghui did not refuse to shirk, but said directly:
  "I can tell you very clearly that the Demon Book was published and spread by me alone and has nothing to do with my sixth uncle."

Luo Sigong was stunned. He had already concluded that Zhang Jingxiu was the 'real communicator' of the demon book. After getting such an answer from Zhang Chonghui, it could be said that he was hit 'again'!
  While sighing that he had guessed wrong again, Luo Sigong changed his mind and began to doubt Zhang Chonghui again, and asked hurriedly:

"When did you enter Beijing? You can't do so many things in such a short period of time! So, you actually entered Beijing a long time ago, right?"

Luo Sigong seemed to be asking Zhang Chonghui, but more importantly, he wanted to use the other party's answer to confirm the guess he had been making all along.

But at this moment when Luo Sigong was full of curiosity, Zhang Chonghui did not give an answer. Instead, he imitated Luo Sigong's words and asked:

"If you want to cooperate, you have to show some sincerity, right? What help can you provide me now?"

"You!" Luo Sigong clenched his fists, suppressed his desire to get angry, and gritted his teeth: "Just tell me what you want to do!"

"Isn't that right, Master Luo?" Zhang Chonghui said politely: "Do you need me to teach you this?"

"What do you mean?" Luo Sigong seemed annoyed and said angrily:
  "I've known for a long time that the demon book was created by you! So what's the difference between the clues you just provided me and nothing? Does it mean that you want to cooperate, and this is the sincerity you gave me?"

Luo Sigong looked angry, as if he had been tricked.

Zhang Chonghui couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and he exposed it directly: "What, you want to trick me? There is no need to go to such trouble, when it is time to let you know, I will tell you naturally."

Luo Sigong, who had his thoughts revealed directly, didn't seem to feel embarrassed. Instead, he acted like a normal person and asked, "How do you want to get involved with Concubine Zheng?"

Zhang Chonghui did not dwell on what happened before, and directly talked about the plan, saying:
  "It's not easy to blame Concubine Zheng. I heard that Uncle Zheng relied on his sister to be his favorite concubine and secretly accepted bribes and sold his official position for personal gain.

For such a greedy person, if you just send some people to check him, you will find a lot of information that is not good for him.

At that time, you only need to spread the news that is not beneficial to Uncle Zheng and let the ministers in the DPRK know about it.

Especially the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the ministers of the Sixth Section! By the way, don't forget to spread the news to Yingtian in Nanzhili.

The officials in Yingtian drank tea and played with birds all day long, and they were almost bored. They were worried that they had nothing to do, but they were not allowed to let people like them participate.

Some of these scholars who have read the books of sages are capable of coming up with all kinds of strange accusations to involve Concubine Zheng in the case of the demon book! "

"Then what's next?" Luo Sigong seemed worried and asked again:
  "It's not difficult for the matter to involve Concubine Zheng, but have you ever thought that in this demon book case, you, me, and everyone else, we are all in this game of 'chess'!
  How will it end then? Do you really think that the emperor will just give up because the case involves too much? "

"Why are you anxious?" Zhang Chonghui replied very calmly: "Plans can't keep up with changes, and our cooperation has to take its time, doesn't it?"

"Ha." Luo Sigong smiled and said, "You don't have to beat around the bush with me. If you don't believe me, just tell me!"

"That's right, I don't believe you." After Zhang Chonghui answered, he pretended to be surprised: "Is it possible that you believe me?"

Luo Sigong was also speechless...

At this point, Luo Sigong had no choice but to hold his nose and agree, colluding with Zhang Chonghui.

This 'plastic cooperation group', which neither believed in the other and disliked each other, was established 'again'.

"So what exactly did your fourth uncle force you to bring to me? Also, is he really in the capital?" Luo Sigong didn't forget to ask these questions before leaving.

To this, Zhang Chonghui also gave a direct answer: "He dragged me to tell you to treat his little sixth brother kindly, otherwise he will never be done with you. In addition, he is indeed in the capital."

"Where is he? I want to see him!" Luo Sigong asked excitedly.

Zhang Chonghui said with disgust in his eyes: "If I want to see you, I'll go find you myself. Besides, he doesn't want to see you. Also, you're really disgusting."

Being scolded as "disgusting" again, Luo Sigong couldn't stand it anymore. This time, he gave an explanation, saying:

"I have a son and a daughter, and I don't have the habit of cutting off my sleeves. Don't think nonsense."

"Oh." Zhang Chonghui responded perfunctorily, with contempt still in his eyes.

"I just..." Luo Sigong seemed to want to explain something, but in the end he just said: "Forget it, you don't understand even after I tell you."

……

Luo Sigong just left. The moment he stepped out of the gate of Zhao's mansion, he happened to meet his uncle Zhang Yunxiu, who had just been 'invited' back by Zhao Shizhen's order.

At this moment, it can be said that enemies meet and are extremely jealous.

In Luo Sigong's eyes, Zhang Yunxiu seemed to be just an inconspicuous prisoner in his vast career as a cruel official.

However, in Zhang Yunxiu's eyes, his hatred for Luo Sigong was no less than his hatred for Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun!
  The two just passed each other, and Luo Sigong just glanced at Zhang Yunxiu, as if he had never known this person before, and seemed to think that looking at Zhang Yunxiu more than once was a waste of time.

Compared to Luo Sigong's indifference and disregard, Zhang Yunxiu stared at Luo Sigong fiercely. He did not let go of his gaze until the other party got on his horse, rode away, and then disappeared completely.

"Luo Sigong, sooner or later, I will kill you with my own hands!"

Zhang Yunxiu said this without hesitation, flicked his sleeves, and stepped into the gate of Zhao Mansion.

The housekeeper of the Zhao family, who went to 'invite' Zhang Yunxiu to come back, heard this with his own ears. While his whole body was getting hairy, he couldn't help but recall the words that Master Zhao Shizhen said when he complained about his 'uncle-in-law' Zhang Yunxiu:
  "This person looks humble and gentle, but in fact he has a dark mind! At first glance, he looks like the kind of dark person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, even risking his life!"

"There is no difference between this kind of person alive and dead! Zhang Yunxiu is a living ghost!"

……

At night, Shen Mansion.

Logically speaking, no outsiders should be able to 'visit' the Shen Mansion, which has been surrounded by Jinyi guards.

However, just before Shen Shixing was about to rest in his study, an 'uninvited guest' knocked on his study door.

"How did you get in?"

Shen Shixing looked at Zhang Chonghui in black clothes outside the door in disbelief. Suspecting that his eyesight was dim, he hurriedly rubbed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, Zhang Chonghui, who was still in front of him, no longer existed. Just when Shen Shixing suspected that he had just seen a ghost, a voice came from behind:

"Rumo, why are you standing at the door? Hurry up and close the door."

Shen Shixing realized after hearing the sound that Zhang Chonghui had entered the house instead of 'disappearing'. While lamenting that he was old and slow to react, Shen Shixing hurriedly closed the study door. Then, he turned around and asked hurriedly:

"There are so many royal guards outside, how did you get in?"

Zhang Chonghui took out a jar of wine from somewhere and put it on the table. While looking around for the wine vessels, he casually replied: "It came in over the wall."

Shen Shixing thought for a while and asked with the answer in mind: "Is it possible that you really dragged Luo Sigong into trouble?"

"How can you call it dragging you down? Rumo, you are really becoming more and more humorous when you talk." Zhang Chonghui finally found a 'vessel' that could hold drinks, which was a pair of blue and white teacups.

"Don't call me that!" Shen Shixing lowered his angry voice and asked, "You have dragged everyone down. What do you want to do?"

"There's more!" Seeing Zhang Chonghui taking his favorite tea cup and preparing to use it to hold wine, Shen Shixing suddenly became anxious and said hurriedly:
  "This is a treasure from the Chenghua period! You, you, you, you! You are wasting it! Let it go!"

"What happened to the antiques from the Chenghua period?" Zhang Chonghui saw that the other party was so anxious, he couldn't help but gambled and said:

"This is not the only thing I gave you. Is it such a treasure? Or are the other treasures destroyed by Jin Yiwei?"

"That's enough!" Although Shen Shixing was still very angry, he seemed to have grasped something and said with some joy:
  "This is a family heirloom my father left me! Zhang Taiyue didn't give it to me! You faker, stop pretending!"

"Oh, that's it." Zhang Chonghui, who had been 'exposed', was still not anxious at all. Instead, he asked again: "Which of your fathers left you an heirloom?"

Shen Shixing's face froze for a moment, and he reluctantly replied: "You know."

"I know?" Zhang Chonghui said with a surprised look on his face: "Didn't you say that I am a fake? How could I, a fake, know that?"

"I..." Shen Shixing was speechless for a moment.

Adhering to the principle of 'brainwashing' but also 'strike while the iron is hot', Zhang Chonghui hurriedly poured wine into Shen Shixing's 'ancestral' teacup, and said slightly eagerly but calmly:
  "Rumo, actually you believed that I was Zhang Taiyue, but you just refused to admit it. Yu Keyuan was willing to admit it, why weren't you willing? Did I suddenly become younger, which made you feel a little uncomfortable? Too used to it?"

"That's enough!" Shen Shixing finally couldn't control his anger, and his voice became louder uncontrollably.

"Louder!" Zhang Chonghui picked up the tea cup filled with strong liquor and handed it to Shen Shixing, while saying with a strange smile:
  "Let the royal guards outside hear the noise! ​​Then escort us both to the emperor! I haven't seen the emperor for a long time. I wonder if I want to see him!"

Shen Shixing, who realized that his voice was too loud, felt somewhat guilty. He glanced at the wine handed over by Zhang Chonghui and couldn't help but recall the last time when he and Wang Xijue broke their faces after being drunk.

"I quit drinking." Shen Shixing looked away and said, "Be gentle and don't break my family heirloom. Also, what is the purpose of coming to me tonight? Also, your What is the real purpose? Zhang Chonghui, what do you want to do? Don’t avoid the question! Give me the answer!"

"Have you quit drinking?" Faced with a lot of questions from Shen Shixing, Zhang Chonghui seemed to be deliberately avoiding it, and only focused on this matter and said in detail:

"With your drinking capacity, it doesn't make much difference whether you quit or not, right? Speaking of which, the scars on your face are probably caused by drinking too much..."

"That's enough! I'll let you answer the question!" Shen Shixing was really angry this time. He directly interrupted Zhang Chonghui's words and asked sternly:

"Don't ramble! What is your purpose? Answer me quickly!"

This was not the first time that Shen Shixing had been so excited in front of Zhang Chonghui. In the eyes of outsiders, this good old chief assistant had never been angry even if he was pointed at and scolded by his subordinates.

However, it was such a good old man who had always been peaceful and peaceful, but one after another he showed his most hysterical 'defence-breaking' attitude in front of a thirteen-year-old 'boy' like Zhang Chonghui.

Shen Shixing didn't know why he was like this. He didn't have time to think so much at this moment, because what happened next was beyond his expectation!

"Shen Rumo!" Zhang Chonghui suddenly shouted, his face turned cold and he said angrily:

"How dare you be so disrespectful to me one after another! I give you shame, don't you?!"

Zhang Chonghui's sudden attack was completely unexpected by Shen Shixing!

Before he could realize what was going on, Shen Shixing saw Zhang Chonghui put the tea cup filled with wine in front of him and gave him an order:
  "Give me a drink!"

The young man's face is obviously green and tender, but his expression, tone, and even the oppressive aura exuding from him at this moment, this series of actions are definitely not something a young man can do!

Shen Shixing was completely stunned. He looked at the person in front of him in disbelief. The familiar sense of oppression made him seem to see a familiar shadow through this young body...

"Uncle... no! It's impossible! You can't be possible!" Shen Shixing looked frightened and took a few steps back, telling himself hurriedly that although the angry look of the person in front of him looked very similar to Zhang Juzheng, he was definitely not Zhang Juzheng!

Because Zhang Juzheng is dead! He is dead! There is no more Zhang Juzheng in the world...

Just as Shen Shixing's mind gradually returned to clarity, Zhang Chonghui's next move can be said to have completely disrupted his train of thought!

"Do you want to drink?" Zhang Chonghui still held up the wine, his eyes were sharp and commanding, and his tone was unquestionable: "If you don't drink, then I will smash this ancestral treasure of yours!"

Now, Shen Shixing panicked!
  "No! I'll drink! I'll drink!" Shen Shixing almost didn't dare to refute, he stretched out his hands in a hurry, and carefully and eagerly took the tea cup filled with wine.

Even though the tea cup was full of high-grade Du Kang, he still just drank it.

No wonder Shen Shixing was so excited. After all, these blue and white porcelain tea cups from the Chenghua period were the only thoughts left to him by Xu Shangzhen.

Shen Shixing's drinking capacity was as high as that of a child. After drinking a glass of strong liquor, his mind began to lose consciousness.

"Don't smash it... That was what my father left for me..." Shen Shixing was in a daze, still begging Zhang Chonghui to be merciful, but he still murmured unconvinced:

"Why are you still like this... You will do anything to achieve your goal... You are crazy..."

While Shen Shixing was drunk and unconscious, Zhang Chonghui raised his neck and asked arrogantly:
  "Let me ask you, what is going on in the emperor's mausoleum?"

This 'incomprehensible' question directly caused Shen Shixing, who was dizzy, to tremble all over. In an instant, he woke up!

Shen Shixing's sudden agitation made him look like he had been exposed and discovered some 'big secret'!

Zhang Chonghui narrowed his eyes when he saw this, and then he asked tentatively:

"Everyone says that the emperor's mausoleum is not a geomantic treasure. Even Liu Bowen's eleventh generation grandson said that Dayu Mountain is not a real dragon's lair.

Although it is not a big deal to dig up stones in the mausoleum, I heard that the 'unknown' stone is right under the main coffin. This seems a bit bad, right?
  So... Rumo, could Dayu Mountain really be a bad place you deliberately chose? Don't you want the emperor's grave to be unrestful after his death? "

"Uncle, what nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Shixing was anxious. He was really anxious. He was so anxious that he blurted out and even jumped up without caring about his image!

When Zhang Chonghui saw this, he looked very excited. He held Shen Shixing's shoulders firmly, looked at him, and asked with "expectation" in his eyes:
  "Rumo, you want to avenge me, right?"

Maybe he was drunk, or maybe Zhang Chonghui's eyes were too familiar.

Looking at the pair of ambitious eyes in front of him, the madness to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, and the familiar sense of oppression.

This time, Shen Shixing's heart was really shaken...

"You...you are really..."

"Oh!"

A violent sound interrupted what Shen Shixing was about to say, followed by the study door being kicked open!

Looking at it in the blink of an eye, it was Chen Yin leading dozens of imperial guards. They seemed to be well prepared!

"Okay! Zhang Chonghui! Shen Shixing! You two sinners! How dare you meet in private!"
