The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 186 Rescue Liu Jin
Chang Feng can choose to turn a blind eye and close one eye, and sit and watch Li Guang frame Li and Xie.

Chang Feng, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian are just nodding acquaintances.I can't say how deep the personal relationship is.

Li Guang is the master of the Rites Supervisor, one of Chang Feng's superiors, and a celebrity around Empress Zhang.

It is obviously not good for Chang Feng to be his enemy.

But if Chang Feng sat idly by, he would not be him.

In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, there are very few people with a conscience.

After so many years of official battles and court intrigues, Chang Feng still retains a trace of conscience.Not much, but enough.

Chang Feng remembered that the last time he accompanied his godfather Huai En was fishing for bastards by the Yongding River.The sunset was picturesque that day, and the fire clouds in the sky were red.

Huai En said to him earnestly: "Remember, you must be an upright Jinyiwei. Protect the virtuous officials and punish the treacherous officials. "

He never dared to forget the teachings of the old nephew to protect the virtuous ministers and punish the treacherous ministers during his lifetime.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chang Feng made a decision: Li Dongyang and Xie Qian must be cleared of their grievances.

Chang Feng asked Gu Dayong, "Where did you find the jade horse?"

Gu Dayong's answer shocked Chang Feng.

Gu Dayong said: "Hey, Eunuch Li remembers that there is a jade horse in the surplus treasury of Kunning Palace. I searched for it early and late, but found nothing."

"Eunuch Li suspects that some palace people stole the treasures in Yingku and took away the jade horse."

"So Eunuch Li searched the dormitory of the palace servants. Under the bed in Liu Jin's dormitory, a box of treasures was found. The jade horse was among them."

"After finding the jade horse, Eunuch Li picked it up and took a look. Hey, guess what?"

Chang Feng asked: "What's the matter?"

Gu Dayong said: "There is really a line below that reads 'The lackey Xie Qian respectfully presents the inner picture'!"

Chang Feng stared at Gu Dayong without saying a word.

Li Guang is so good at it!It has long been heard that he and Liu Jin are competing for favor in the Kunning Palace, and there have been frequent gaps with Liu Jin in these years.

It seems that this time Li Guang is hugging the grass and beating the rabbit.While framing Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, get rid of Liu Jin!
Sun Chunbin walked to the door of the warehouse, and said proudly: "How about it, now the evidence is complete! It is enough to prove that Li Dongyang and Xie Qian are villains who are stalking people!"

"A person like this still wants to join the cabinet? Are they worthy?"

Chang Feng turned his head and glared at Sun Chunbin: "They are not worthy, are you worthy?"

Sun Chunbin boasted that he had Li Guang's backing, and he was not afraid of the treasurer of Jinyiwei at all.He was tit for tat: "I'm not worthy, someone deserves it!"

Chang Feng smiled and hid the knife: "Oh, you want to say Dongguan Liu Zhang, right?"

Among the six books, the Ministry of Officials called Tian officials; the Ministry of Households called local officials; the Ministry of Rites called Spring officials; the Ministry of War called Xia officials; the Ministry of Punishments called autumn officials, and the Ministry of Industry called winter officials.

Not to be outdone, Sun Chunbin said, "Chang Tongzhi don't talk about it. In short, the evidence has been found. We should return to the emperor immediately."

Chang Feng suddenly became humble: "Ah, Mr. Sun, wait a moment. Allow me a moment."

Sun Chunbin thought that Chang Feng was defeated in this matter, and he was afraid of the winner, so he became respectful.

He was wrong.

Chang Feng has been in power for the past few years, and he has developed a habit.If you want to punish anyone, you should become respectful in speech.

Chang Feng went back to the duty room, and said to Qian Ning in a concise and concise manner: "Check the Rites for Sun Chunbin! Check him out!"

"If you can't find out his illegal affairs, try to frame him!"

Qian Ning cupped his hands: "Yes! Master Chang!"

After ordering Qian Ning, Chang Feng and Sun Chunbin went to the main hall of Qianqing Palace to return to their orders.

On the way to the main hall of Qianqing Palace.Chang Feng pondered: Who is Jin Yiwei's inner ghost?The fuck is colluding with Li Guang!

This is easy to check.The people who are eligible to enter Jinyiwei stalls are limited.

If I find out, I will deal with it according to family law!
Not long after, the two came to the main hall of Qianqing Palace and reported to Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi's complexion changed greatly: "The evidence is convincing?"

Chang Feng said: "Someone may have framed it. It was faked in the secret file"

When Sun Chunbin heard this, he seemed to have grasped Chang Feng's handle: "The Jinyiwei stall is an important place, involving top secrets of Ming Dynasty."

"Could it be so easy to cheat? It shouldn't be. Who in the court doesn't know that Chang Tongzhi is smart and capable?"

"Under your nose, is there anyone who can cheat?"

Sun Chunbin gave Chang Feng an unsolvable problem: Either you, Chang Feng, were negligent, or Li and Xie were not clean.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Sun Chunbin, you go down first."

But Sun Chunbin said: "Your Majesty. I heard that there is a group of people in the capital. They are good at kidnapping officials and extorting confessions by torture. They use torture to force officials to write false confessions."

"I'm afraid."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Don't worry. No one dares to tie up your ticket, as I said! You go down first, and we will discuss this matter tomorrow morning."

Sun Chunbin said: "Yes, I will retire."

After Sun Chunbin left, Emperor Hongzhi stroked Tongqian and said, "I don't believe that Li Dongyang and Xie Qian are people who cling to treacherous eunuchs."

"But the evidence is in the secret room of Jinyiwei. Li Guang also found Yuma. Tomorrow morning, Sun Chunbin and the officials will definitely attack Li and Xie Qun."

"Before tomorrow morning, you have to find out the truth and return the two of them innocent."

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "I obey the order."

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "You are my confidant. I will tell you, I plan to let Li Dongyang and Xie Qian join the cabinet together."

"It's up to you whether you can let these two virtuous ministers enter the cabinet smoothly."

Chang Feng left Qianqing Palace, returned to Jinyiwei, and found Fatty Xu to discuss alone.

To return Li and Xie's innocence, he must catch Jin Yiwei's inner ghost.

With so many people in Jinyiwei, Chang Feng trusted Fatty Xu unreservedly.

At this moment, he was surprised to find that he had promoted so many people and made friends with so many people over the years.At the critical moment, there is only one Fatty Xu who can be completely trusted.

He told Fatty Xu about the matter.

Fatty Xu said: "I am a donkey in the mill road, so I just listen to the yelling. Just tell me how to catch the ghost."

Chang Feng said: "It's difficult to catch the ghost. It's easy to say. I read Li and Xie's secret file three days ago. The secret file was clean at that time."

"That is to say, the inner ghost stuffed those two pages into the secret file within the last three days."

"In Jinyiwei, only a hundred households or more can enter the secret file room, supplement or read the secret file."

"Just check the people who have entered the secret room in the last three days."

Fatty Xu said: "I'll call the supervisor and the hundred householders here."

Chang Feng is busy investigating the ghost.At the same time, Kunning Palace.

Liu Jin was tied up and knelt in the execution room.

There are torture chambers in each of the six palaces to punish those who have made mistakes.

Li Guang stood in front of Liu Jin, looking at him with a half-smile.

Beside Li Guang was a small wooden box, in which was a pile of gold and silver jewelry and a jade horse.

Li Guangyin smiled and said: "Liu Jin, unclean hands and feet are the most taboo in the palace. This box is in the warehouse. But I found it under your bed."

"You're confused. You're still a prime minister now. You're two steps away from becoming a eunuch. There are plenty of ways to get rich. Why do you want to steal?"

Liu Jin shouted hysterically: "Someone framed me. I have never stolen anything from the palace!"

Li Guang sneered: "When the thieves in the world are caught, they all call themselves wronged!"

"I am the steward of Kunning Palace. I have to do business in order to warn the palace people below when something like this happens."

"Gu Dayong, according to the rules in the palace, what is the crime of stealing?"

Gu Dayong replied: "To godfather. Beat him to death!"

Li Guangdao: "Ah? You want to be beaten to death! Liu Jin is the great-grandson of Eunuch Huai En. I really can't bear to beat him to death."

At this moment, Empress Zhang entered the firewood room surrounded by a group of palace people.

Queen Zhang asked, "Li Guang, what's going on?"

Li Guang knelt down and replied: "I am reporting to the Empress. The old slave has ordered to find a jade horse in the Kunning Palace. There is no trace of the jade horse in the Yingku."

"The old slave judged that someone's hands and feet were dirty and stole the surplus treasury. So he led people to search the palace's bedroom one by one."

"This box was actually found under Liu Jin's bed! Liu Jin stole the palace property, the evidence is solid!"

Queen Zhang frowned: "Liu Jin stealing something?"

Liu Jin shouted: "Empress, I have been wronged! I was playing with His Highness the Crown Prince in the former Guangting just now. Suddenly, Eunuch Li led someone to tie me up."

"I've never seen that box before!"

Queen Zhang didn't know whether to trust Liu Jin or not.After all, the loot was there.

Li Guang said a few words and poked Empress Zhang's heart: "Empress, Your Highness is the crown prince. Everything that happens around me will be published in "Life Notes" and "Records" in the future."

"His Royal Highness's eldest companion turned out to be a thief with dirty hands and feet, stealing palace property. If this is recorded in the history books, it will damage His Highness's reputation!"

Once her son was involved, Queen Zhang became an old hen eager to protect her cubs.

However, Empress Zhang is not a fortune teller, so it must be unexpected that there are many bad things about Zhu Houzhao in the history books.Not bad.

Empress Zhang said seriously: "You are right. First remove Liu Jin from all official positions."

Gu Dayong interjected: "My empress, just dismissing him seems to be too light a punishment. He should be given another thirty lashes!"

Gu Dayong has long disliked Liu Jin.

Queen Zhang said: "You can figure it out." Then she left the torture room, completely ignoring Liu Jin who was yelling for injustice.

Several young eunuchs took off Liu Jin's shirt.

Li Guang personally tortured Liu Jin with a whip dipped in salt water.

The cowhide whip is drawn on the body, and each whip will turn up the flesh and blood on the back of the tortured person.

Enduring the pain and humiliation, Liu Jin gritted her teeth in severe pain and remained silent.

Li Guang, I, Liu Jin, have written down this account!I will not cry out for pain, nor will I beg for mercy.If you can't kill me today, I will kill you tomorrow!
Li Guang scolded Liu Jin in his heart while slapping Liu Jin: I want you to be favored by His Highness!Let you curry favor with Queen Zhang!
One mountain of Kunning Palace cannot accommodate two tigers!Unless there is one male and one female, unfortunately you and I are neither male nor female!
After thirty lashes, Liu Jin was dying.

Li Guang sneered: "Hang him upside down!"

"Hanging upside down" is a torture invented by eunuchs in the palace.

Hang people upside down on the beams.A kind of "cross buckle" is tied on the leg, and blue bricks are hung on the waist.People's qi and blood will pour into the brain.If it is hung for three to five hours, the tortured person will suffer from cerebral hemorrhage and bleeding to death from seven orifices.

Li Guang wanted to punish Liu Jin to death.

Sometimes, the whole person doesn't care about his background and relationship.If you want to fix it, you will kill the killer, and you will die in one go.

Li Guang knew that Liu Jin had a close relationship with Chang Feng.Qian Neng also regards Liu Jin as one of his own.

Just kill Liu Jin directly, and then find money to pay for the crime.Leaving a way out for him will cause endless harm!
Fortunately, Liu Jin also has confidants.Back then, Chang Feng introduced a young eunuch named Wei Bin to Liu Jin.Liu Jin has always treated Wei Bin well.

Wei Bin learned that his backer was punished, and risked his beheading to leave the palace to report to Chang Feng.

At the gate of the palace, the big Han general who guarded the gate stopped him.

The big Han general stretched out his hand: "Where is the note who left the palace?"

Wei Bin said anxiously: "I'm going out of the palace to find your Master Jin Yiwei on an urgent matter! No note."

He announced Chang Feng's name, but the big Han general didn't make things difficult for him, and let him go.

The same as the left is in the value room.

Chang Feng is asking Gao Wenze, a hundred households in charge.

Gao Wenze is in his fifties, he is the "Old Flying Fish" in Jinyiwei.

Since Chenghua 15 years ago, he has managed the stalls.

He is serious and a bit dull.Whether Wantong was in power, Zhu Ji was in power, Chang Feng was in power, he was not promoted.

But he was indispensable in the stall, and he was not demoted.

Chang Feng asked Gao Wenze: "In the past three days, has anyone entered the stall?"

Gao Wenze replied: "Master Chang, you know that every hundred and thousand households add the secrets of hundreds of officials into the secret files, and it is the fifteenth of every month. Today is the twelve."

"In the past three days, only Sun Tongzhi, Qian Qianshi, Wang Qianshi, Fushi Shizhen, Shen Qianhu, and Zhao Qianhu have entered the secret file room and read the secret file."

Chang Feng thought in his mind: It seems that the ghost is among the six "Old Birthday Star" Sun Guishou, "Second Shopkeeper" Qian Ning, "Little National Player" Wang Miaoxin, "Big Brother" Shi Wenyi, "Painter" Shen Zhou, and "Black Maitreya" Zhao Xiangfo.

No, there is a seventh person who is suspected, and that is Gao Wenze in front of him.

Chang Feng was going to investigate one by one.Suddenly the little eunuch Wei Bin barged in: "Master Chang, it's not good!"

Chang Feng asked: "What's wrong?"

Wei Bin cried and said, "Eng, Eunuch Li killed Eunuch Liu and whipped him thirty times. He was also 'hanged upside down'!"

Chang Feng was surprised: "Hanging upside down? That will kill you!"

Wei Bin nodded: "Yes. Eunuch Li is going to kill Eunuch Liu! If you hang for three or five hours, Eunuch Liu will die!"

Chang Feng asked, "Is it because of that jade horse?"

Wei Bin replied: "Yes! Eunuch Li said that Eunuch Liu stole things from Yingku!"

Chang Feng asked: "Is the empress not in charge?"

Wei Bin replied: "The empress said to let Eunuch Li and Eunuch Gu take care of it."

Chang Feng said angrily: "Li Guang has such a cruel heart!"

Fatty Xu said: "Liu Jin is one of us. We are saved! Master Chang, please enter the palace!"

Chang Feng shook his head: "This is about the affairs of the harem. How can a house slave take care of the affairs of the harem?"

Fatty Xu was a little anxious: "Then let's just wait for Li Guang to kill Liu Jin? Liu Jin is your god-nephew!"

Chang Feng said: "We can't control the affairs of the harem, there is someone who can."

Fatty Xu asked, "Who?"

Chang Feng said: "Hurry up and go to my house to find Tangtang. Only she can enter Kunning Palace and save Liu Jin in a legitimate way."

Fatty Xu slapped his head: "Why did you forget our little princess. I'll go right away!"

Half an hour later, the torture room of Kunning Palace.

In the torture room, only Li Guang and Liu Jin who hung upside down were left.

Liu Jin was dying and fell into a coma.The blood from the whip wound flowed down the back to the ground.

Li Guang sipped his tea and said with a sneer, "Don't think you're the only one who is smart. Look at the prince's thick legs tightly, and when the prince ascends the throne, he can overwhelm me and give power to the public."

"Playing with you to death is as easy as shaking an egg to yolk."

Li Guang has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the execution room within five hours.

After five hours, Liu Jin will turn into a dead body, be sent out of the palace, and become food for wild dogs in the mass grave.

Li Guang was proud of himself, only to hear a young girl shouting at the door: "You are blind. How dare you stop the princess?"
