Chapter 368
The lackeys and henchmen of the Eunuch Party all know that Zhu Youjian, the abolished trustworthy king, was ordered to return to Beijing to investigate the assassination of the eldest prince Zhu Ciyan this time. Account, what Wei Zhongxian, Zhang Gou Shao, Ke Baba, and their henchmen, cronies, confidantes, thugs and lackeys, will definitely suffer a lot of bad luck with them!So since the day when Zhu Youjian was appointed as the imperial envoy to handle the case, almost every eunuch party member and Gou Shao party member has trembled, thinking of changing his family or even turning against him if the situation is not good.But what no one expected was that Zhu Youjian's revenge came back so fast, so vicious, so fast that almost everyone couldn't react!

The incident started on the second day after Ni Hao and Luo Daqian, the chief executives of Water Transport Qian who assisted Zhu You in investigating the case, led their troops to Beijing, and it was also the day of November 24th, the tenth year of the Great Ming Dynasty. Ni Hao, the general manager of Water Transport, suddenly reported to Zhu Youjian, the abolished letter king, that he had discovered an important clue about the assassination of the eldest prince—that is, Old Ma, the next-door neighbor of Lan Susu, the nurse who assassinated the eldest prince, had a relationship with a The East Factory servant called Lin Wu is in a relationship!With this clue, Zhu Youjian was of course dancing with joy, and couldn't wait to order the water transport soldiers to arrest the old man Ma's family, and then personally brought Shang Fang's sword and water transport troops to Dongchang to arrest Lin Wu for trial.

"Why are you arresting me?" Lin Wu, who was receiving the arrest task, was held down by a group of soldiers who rushed in suddenly. Naturally, he was confused, struggling and shouting, "Who are you? Why are you arresting me?" ? Have I violated that king’s law?” The Dongchang fan servants, bosses and foremen next to him were all stunned. They never imagined that there would be people who dared to enter the Dongchang to arrest people. Zhu Youjian was holding the Shangfang sword in his hand, but he didn't dare to speak.

"Why are you arrested?" Zhu Youjian's deputy Luo Daqian said with a smile: "Master Lin, your good deed has been committed. Now we suspect that you are related to the assassination of the eldest prince. Come with us to Shuntian Mansion Bar."

"I have something to do with the assassination of the First Prince?" Lin Wu shouted dumbfounded, "What is my connection with the assassination of the First Prince? I have never been in the palace, nor have I met the First Prince. Even Dongchang checked this a few days ago. I did not participate in the case, so what connection do I have with this case?"

"Stop talking nonsense! You'll know when you get to Shuntian Mansion!" Luo Daqian didn't care that this was the headquarters of the East Factory, he kicked Lin Wu's ass, waved his hand and shouted, "Take him away!"

"Wait!" At this moment, a voice of resistance finally sounded from the Dongchang crowd, and Song Jin, the deputy admiral of Dongchang, a core member of the Gou Shao Party and the brother of Young Master Zhang, rushed into the lobby sweating.Seeing the appearance of the deputy admiral Song Jin, the team leaders of the East Factory suddenly had a backbone, and immediately surrounded them in a swarm. Except for Dongchang himself and half of the Zhen Fusi who belonged to Dongchang, no other yamen dared to enter Dongchang to arrest people so arrogantly!If the stinking Qiuba on the water transport is allowed to capture Lin Wu here, where will Dongchang's face be put in the future?But Zhu Youjian, king of discredited letters, was eager to see such a scene, and immediately roared even more aggressively, "What are you doing? What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?"

"King Xin..., Lord Imperial Envoy." Song Jin bowed his hands to Zhu Youjian, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Dare to ask Lord Imperial Envoy, what crime did our Dongchang Fanzi commit? Why did Lord Imperial Envoy arrest him? Everyone has a heavy responsibility to investigate and spy for the imperial court to conspire against evil, and if you want to take people away without any real evidence, then our family will not agree."

Song Jin was also there when Young Master Zhang was ordered to raid Xinwang's Mansion, so Zhu Youjian knew Song Jin and hated Song Jin as a dog. Now that the enemy met, he was naturally jealous.At that moment, Zhu Youjian snorted coldly, and said in a grandiose manner: "Since this imperial envoy dares to enter the East Factory to arrest people, of course there is real evidence! According to the investigation, Lin Wu, who served in the East Factory, is suspected of being involved in the assassination of the eldest prince! This imperial envoy is responsible for the emperor's order." , full-time investigation of this case, of course Lin Wu must be arrested and interrogated!"

"Then dare to ask the imperial envoy, how did the special servant Lin Wu be involved in the assassination of the eldest prince?" Song Jin continued to ask.Zhu Youjian smiled sinisterly, and replied: "According to the strict investigation by the imperial envoy, this cousin of Lin Wu, the cousin of the Dongchang servant, is the next-door neighbor Ma He, Lin Susu, the nurse who assassinated the eldest prince!" I suspect that this Dongchang servant named Lin Wu took advantage of his kinship to participate in the assassination of the eldest prince, so this imperial envoy wants to arrest him and interrogate him!"

"The cousin of Uncle Lin Wu's in-law is the next-door neighbor of the murderer who assassinated the eldest prince?" Song Jin and the Dongchang guards present were all dumbfounded, and it was the first time that they found out that there were people in this world who handled cases worse than us!Lin Wu, who was held down by Cao Bing over there, was even more tongue-tied, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses and yelled crazily: "I am wronged! Eunuch Song, Mr. Imperial Envoy, I am wronged! I don't even know what kind of relative I have in my family!" , It turned out to be the neighbor next door to the murderer who assassinated the eldest prince! Wrong, I don’t know anything! I haven’t even seen that cousin of the uncle’s family! Eunuch Song, you have to save me——! ""

"I'm not wronged, go to Shuntian Mansion and talk about it! Take it away!" Zhu Youjian waved his hand with a grim smile.After Song Jin was shocked, he quickly stopped Luo Daqian's soldiers, and shouted angrily: "Absurd! It's the Tang Dynasty in the wild world! How could such a distant relationship be related to Lin Wu? Let's not talk about Lin Wu's one." What kind of relative is just the murderer's neighbor, even if his relative is the murderer, and will be punished by the nine clans, such a distant relationship, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to implicate Lin Wu? You are..., this is lying, wanting In addition to the crime, why is there no excuse?!"

"Stop talking nonsense! This imperial envoy handles the case according to the order. Don't talk about a small servant. Only the three princes and nine ministers, six officials, this imperial envoy also has the right to take away!" Zhu Youjian didn't give Song Jin the opportunity to argue. He waved his hand and ordered Cao Bing to take Lin Wu away.Song Jin was furious, and shouted: "Come on, block the gate! Our family wants to see it today, who dares to take our brothers away?"

"Decree!" Dongchang's general servants agreed abruptly, and either drew their swords to guard the gate, or drew their swords to point at the Cao soldiers. All the Cao soldiers did not dare to neglect, and drew their swords one after another, and the atmosphere in the lobby of the Dongchang Yamen suddenly became tense.Zhu Youjian calmly took out the imperial decree from his bosom, held the monk Fang's sword high above his head, and shouted: "The imperial decree and Shang Fang's sword are here, who dares to act presumptuously? Punish it for the crime of treason! Shoot or kill!"

"Decree!" This time, the soldiers brought by Luo Daqian agreed neatly.The Dongchang servants were watching each other, at a loss - the power of Dongchang was originally based on imperial power, and now Zhu Youjian has used a higher level of imperial authority to suppress Dongchang, who is used to bowing his head to the emperor's imperial decree. Of course the servants didn't know what to do.Zhu Youjian turned to Song Jin again and said with a sneer: "Eunuch Song, you seem to know the content of the imperial decree. The emperor entrusted this imperial envoy with full authority to investigate the assassination of the eldest prince. Officials, soldiers and civilians of this dynasty, regardless of their rank, as long as they are involved in this case The imperial envoy has the right to interrogate and detain—do you want the imperial envoy to read it to you again?"

"Master Imperial Envoy, are you not afraid that the emperor will punish you for messing around like this?" Song Jin asked through gritted teeth.Zhu Youjian replied with a sneer: "If Eunuch Song feels that this imperial envoy has done something wrong, he can go to the emperor to complain. But now, this imperial envoy must take this servant away! Eunuch Song, if you want to stop me again, I will The imperial envoy will suspect that you are also involved in this case, deliberately covering up those involved!"

Song Jinbai's plump face that was about to drop oil turned red and turned green. After hesitating for a long time, Song Jin finally waved his hand.At the end, Song Jin said solemnly to Lin Wu who was already crying to death: "Lin Wu, if you feel wronged for a while, our family will ask Jiu Qiansui to save you, you have to hold on! Don't worry, whoever dares Use torture to interrogate you, and our family will definitely seek justice for you!" At this point, Lin Wu, who was so unlucky, had no choice but to nod obediently with tears in his eyes, while Zhu Youjian laughed and led the soldiers to detain him. Follow Lin Wu and leave.

After watching Zhu Youjian and his party walk away with fire in their eyes, all the soldiers in Dongchang immediately surrounded Song Jin to cry for grievances, demanding that Song Jin give them justice.Song Jin waved his hands and said: "Brothers, don't panic, don't be chaotic, what should you do, our family is going to pay homage to Nine Thousand Years, the emperor, and try to save Lin Wu. Don't worry, today's revenge, We must report it, and it will be doubled!" Only then did the servants raise their anger and calm down a little, and Song Jin quickly asked again: "By the way, who is Lin Wu's foreman and foreman?"

"We are." Two small bosses of the East Factory stood up.Song Jin took a closer look and saw that these two little bosses were the direct subordinates of Sun Yunhe, who was the prisoner of Dongchang. Evidence, framing and framing and arresting Lin Wu must be trying to get out of Lin Wu's mouth something that is not good for our Dongchang, and then climb up layer by layer, and finally implicate Jiu Qiansui, our family and Sun Lixing You can’t run away, you can’t run away, understand?”

"Understood." The two small bosses of the East Factory agreed tremblingly, and begged again: "Eunuch Song, you must save us. If Lin Wu can't stand it and pull us out, the king of waste letter will definitely kill us." Also captured."

"Don't worry, you are my brothers, Song Jin, of course I won't ignore you!" Song Jin said very loyally, and the two little bosses were moved to tears, almost wanting to kneel down to Song Jin.Song Jin said again: "Well, just in case, I will arrange an errand for you now to go to Shanhaiguan to verify the identity of Yuan Chonghuan, a national traitor of the Ming Dynasty, and prepare to assist the Ming army to escort Yuan Chonghuan back to Beijing for trial. Shanhaiguan is now our brother Zhang. The territory of the ancient Zhang Taibao, with him around, would not have dared to go to Shanhaiguan to catch you with the courage of the abolished letter king." Then Song Jin added: "Let's go now, let's go now, take your Take everyone with you, and temporarily hide in Shanhaiguan, and come back after the limelight is over! We people from the East Factory can no longer go in."

"Thank you, Eunuch Song, Eunuch Song, you are really our reborn parents." The two small bosses of the East Factory and their subordinates were overjoyed, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Song Jin to thank Song Jin.The big and small leaders of the East Factory and Fan Yan who were next to me couldn't help but feel a little moved when they met, saying that although our deputy admiral is a bit soft-hearted, he still takes good care of our subordinates.Song Jin was secretly happy-Lin Wu's two direct supervisors had been transferred away. If Zhu Youjian climbed up, the first unlucky one would be Sun Yunhe, the only one in the East Factory who did not buy his account.

........................

A big hole was dug for the powerful subordinates who did not belong to the Gou Shao Party, and Song Jin ran to Wei Zhongxian to file a complaint. When he learned that Zhu Youjian was so blatantly framing and deliberately diverting the trouble, Wei Zhongxian did the same again. Angry and scared, but he was seriously ill and couldn't go directly to the palace to file a complaint.In desperation, Wei Zhongxian could only send Song Jin to Li Yongzhen, the No. [-] eunuch, and Li Qinmeng, the No. [-] eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, and let them file a complaint in front of Ming Xizong; Li Kuilong and Ni Wenhuan.Let them organize civilian officials to impeach Zhu Youjian to avenge his personal revenge, frame him, make accusations, and falsely accuse him of goodness—the Dongchang fan!I hope that Zhu Youjian, a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, can be killed by legal means.

Without the help of Ke Baba and the absolute trust of Ming Xizong, Wei Zhongxian, who was seriously ill, was indeed powerless as if he had lost an arm. In the afternoon, Song Jin came back dejectedly to report——Li Yongzhen hid Song Jin, Li Qinmeng, who was loyal to Wei Zhongxian, was lucky enough to enter Qianqing Palace, which was completely controlled by Kebaba and Zhang Yan, and reported to Ming Xizong about Zhu Youjian's arrest in Dongchang, but Zhang Yan and Kebaba jointly deceived him. Next, Ming Xizong, who was also sick and confused, ignored this matter, but said that if Zhu Youjian arrested someone, he must have his reasons. Wu was indeed innocent and was acquitted.Faced with such an answer, Wei Zhongxian was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but what made Wei Zhongxian vomit blood even more was that Cui Chengxiu and the five tigers of the Eunuch Party came back and replied that they went to find 23 officials to jointly impeach Zhu Youjian. One official disappeared, and five of the remaining eight officials went to Qingshou Temple outside the city to offer incense, two asked for leave, and the last one--dad died two years ago and reported to Ding You today!

"Weeds on the wall! This bunch of grass on the wall! Fall on both sides!" Wei Zhongxian smashed the medicine bowl into pieces, and roared frantically: "When our family is cleaned up, when our family is healthy, let's see how our family will deal with you! How will we deal with you! ——!" After finally yelling enough, Wei Zhongxian tried to calm down, pointing at Song Jinhe and asked, "Is that captured fanboy reliable? Will he not be able to withstand the coercion and lure of the King of Dishonored Letters?" people?"

"Godfather, the fan servant who was taken away is not his son, but Sun Lixing." Song Jin replied honestly: "So whether he can bear it, and will he bite people randomly, my son dare not vouch for it." .”

"Trash!" Wei Zhongxian kicked Song Jin's chest, and his veins exploded with anger.At this time, Cui Chengxiu, who was scolded by Wei Zhongxian just now, suddenly ran into the room happily, kowtowed to Wei Zhongxian and said, "Nine thousand years old, great joy! Great joy! General Manager Yang Shaozhen, Mr. Yang came to report that half an hour ago, Liu Ruozai and Yu Huang The two adults led 68 officials in Beijing to jointly submit a petition to impeach Zhu Youjian to avenge his personal revenge, to frame him, and to frame the servant of Dongchang on charges of accusation, requesting the emperor to immediately remove Zhu Youjian from the post of imperial envoy handling the case, and to appoint another court official to retry the case In addition, Xu Eryi, Lu Chengyuan and several well-known assassins also wrote a letter to impeach the abolished letter king. Pass these memorials to the cabinet?"

"What else is there?" Wei Zhongxian was amused, and quickly asked: "Those people? These are loyal ministers, great loyal ministers!" But after Cui Chengxiu recited some of the names of the officials who impeached Zhu Youjian on the list, Wei Zhongxian was inevitably a little disappointed—these people were either young master Zhang's close friends or confidantes, none of them were members of his old eunuch party, and most of them had low official positions, and they were soft-spoken in the court.

"In the final analysis, the son's person is reliable." Wei Zhongxian lamented in his heart, and then said: "Well, it is better to be impeached than not to be impeached. Tell Yang Shaozhen immediately and let him send these memorials to the cabinet immediately. Say hello to Zhang Ruitu, Feng Quan, and Huang Liji, and ask them to send these memorials to the Supervisor of Rituals overnight, and the Supervisor of Rituals to present them to the emperor overnight. Let the emperor take a good look at what kind of a waste letter king is. "

"Of order." Cui Chengxiu respectfully agreed, and then said cautiously: "But nine thousand years old, you still don't have too many expectations for these memorials. Now that the emperor is so ill, the ministers' memorials sent by the cabinet and the chief of ceremonies, the emperor Basically, there is no way to read it. I also heard that the one who reviewed the memorials for the emperor in the past few days is already the empress."

"What else is there? No wonder our family asked you to submit a memorial request to be transferred back to Monkey Cub's memorial. We haven't heard back yet." Wei Zhongxian's face turned pale—in the past, the Ming Xizong entrusted Wei Zhongxian with such matters. .Looking down at his body, which was so weak that even a gust of wind could blow it down, Wei Zhongxian comforted himself secretly. It must be because he was too sick and the emperor cared about him, so he entrusted his errand to that poisonous woman Zhang Yan.In the end, Wei Zhongxian had no choice but to sigh: "It's up to God, let's hand it up first and then talk about it."

………………

"What? The memorial of our faction is going to be submitted to the empress for review?" Hearing this news, Song Jin's face also turned pale.After leaving Wei Zhongxian's mansion, the terrified Song Jin went to see Song Xiance who was in charge behind the scenes overnight, told Song Xiance what happened today, and then asked tremblingly: "Master Song, you let us secretly connect and organize Zhang Xiance The officials of the brother's faction came forward to impeach the abolished letter king, will they play too big and get angry? Make the abolished letter king turn his guns and stop hitting the old man of the nine thousand year old party, and turn to us to open fire?— — You must know that the officials of Brother Zhang’s faction are generally not very big officials, and it is much easier for the King of Abandoned Letters to attack them than the elders of the Nine Thousand Years Party.”

"Don't worry, the King of Bad Letters won't." Song Xiance replied with a smile: "The King of Bad Letters has waited for so many years, and finally got a chance to bring down Jiuqian, how could he throw watermelon and pick sesame seeds, and not deal with Jiuqian?" Thousands of people came to deal with our people?"

"That's a good word, what if the King of Bad Faith goes crazy and attacks us and the nine-thousand-year-old people at the same time?" Song Jin asked worriedly.Song Xiance smiled and replied: "I can't eat a big steamed bun in one bite. For the faction of the King of Dishonored Letters, it is the most sensible way to bring down Nine Thousand Years before bringing down the owner. Otherwise, I will really mess with the owner." I'm in a hurry, who can guarantee whether I will directly raise troops to Qingjun's side? Besides, the relationship between the master and Zhang Weixian and the empress is not as simple as you imagined, even if the king of waste letter wants to deal with the master now, they may not agree. "

"Really?" Song Jin asked suspiciously.Song Xiance poked his head with his finger, and said with a sinister smile: "Of course it's true, Eunuch Song, don't forget, I did this behind my boss's back. If something happens, the first person to lose his head is I, I will still make fun of my own head? So don't worry, let's take this opportunity to establish our own image first, so that we can replace those old people in the future, right?"

"But..." Song Jin was indeed a little timid. He wanted to be a eunuch with the seal of the ceremonial supervisor, but he was afraid of losing his head. After hesitating for a while, Song Jin asked worriedly: "Then Master Song, will that appear?" Such a situation? The officials of our faction objected too loudly to the deliberate framing and framing of the abolished letter king, which frightened the abolished letter king and restrained his actions—then our faction used the abolished letter king to bring down the old man Teng of the nine-thousand-year-old faction. Isn't the plan to get out of position self-defeating?"

"It's a big mistake!" Song Xiance shook his head and said firmly: "And on the contrary, the harder we press the party, the harder the King of Waste Letter will attack the Nine Thousand Years faction! Chitose's hatred is the deepest, and Jiuqiantui's power is far greater than that of the Dong family. If Jiuqiantui is not overthrown, it will not be of much use if the Dong family is brought down. He has made great contributions, but now that he is attacking his master, if the teacher is unknown, everyone will be scared and have too much influence! Therefore, the abolished letter king party will only deal with the nine thousand years old first and then deal with the master! Wei first and then Zhang! In this way, we The greater the pressure created by this faction, in order to get rid of Jiuqiantui as soon as possible and then turn around to deal with the owner, the Abandoned Letter King faction will definitely use all means to speed up the pace of bringing down Jiuqiantui! Otherwise, once they hold back now, they will wait for Jiuqian Chitose regained his breath, he can crush them into powder with one hand!"

"Let's use an analogy." Song Xiance smiled even more happily, and said with a sinister smile: "Originally, the King of Dishonored Letters and Nine Thousand Years had already drawn their swords and prepared to fight their lives, but they both hesitated and no one dared to take the first step. , we push each side behind, and they will have to work hard! As for us, we can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and reap the benefits." Speaking of this, Song Xiance happily added, "At the end The situation will only be like this, King Feixin and Jiuqiantui will lose out in the fight and die together, and the boss and us can reach out to pick peaches comfortably and aboveboard."

After spending a lot of talking and talking, Song Jin was finally relieved, and he explained his next plan. Song Jin said his goodbyes and left, and Song Xiance sat back on the chair, sipped tea and closed his eyes to rest his mind.Taking this opportunity, the small shop who accompanied Song Xiance back to the capital asked cautiously: "Master Song, you did these things behind the young master's back. Would the young master be unhappy if he found out? Master Song, you also know that the young master and Jiu Qiansui Like father and son, now you not only don't follow the boss's order to help Jiuqiantui deal with the King of Dishonored Letters, but also fan the flames to make the King of Dishonored Letters and Jiuqiantui die together. Will the young master get angry when he returns to the capital in the future? Take it out on you? "

"Small shop, do you think your young master really doesn't want to do this?" Song Xiance said lightly, "He was just too embarrassed to do this himself, and he knew my personality, temper, and ambition, so he sent me back to the capital on purpose. Come on, let me take the initiative to do for him what he wants to do but is too embarrassed to do. Heh, your young master's wrist is more than a hundred times better than mine. "
