Chapter 71 The Man
Updated: 2012-11-13
"Kill Peng Tianheng? Not bad." Wu Yong, who was wide-body, fat, white and clean-faced, nodded, and his tone was a little surprised but his expression was still calm. He blew the water surface in the teacup and looked up, "Just capture it alive, why kill it?"
The middle-aged scholar who was standing beside him, who was not wearing a hat, said, "He has a spy under him, who is a woman. He was taken as bait by Xie Jun himself, but he was caught by Peng Tianheng. The fate was very tragic. After Zhang Ning caught the person, he was furious and killed the person with his own hands. He heard that Peng Tianheng died after slashing thirty-two swords in a row."
"Thirty-two swords..." Wu Yong almost didn't spill the tea. Early in the morning he sounded like a joke, "That girl's fine work is very miserable, what a miserable way?"
The hatless staff member said in a straightforward tone: "I cut off one of the breasts and my lower body was burnt with a red charcoal stick."
"I am worthy of being a person from the Jinyiwei." Wu Yong said calmly, "But Zhang Ning ignored the overall situation and killed important survivors because of this. It really takes time to practice..." He flipped through the letter in front of him, "I didn't see him complaining about Xie Jun in the official document submitted. Didn't Xie Jun make an act of making a fuss when he disobeyed the order and made a decision?"
The staff member said: "This subordinate is not very clear."
"The last time the secret letter from the rioters is it time to arrive in Beijing, right?" Wu Yong pondered for a moment, "He did a good job in this matter. It was useless to get the letter here. Only Hu Butang dared to identify the source. However, Zhang Ning sent it to Nanjing first and handed it over to us. There must be one credit for it."
The staff member hurriedly said, "Sir, I have made contributions. Zhang Ning is a subordinate of you. You can only get to this point when you plan and take charge of the overall situation."
Wu Yong said: "The young man is terrifying. The mastermind behind the Qin case is Peng Tianheng. As long as he put his head in the box and reported it to the emperor, the emperor will be angry and Zhang Ping'an will be promoted."
...
As soon as the secret letter was delivered to Hu Butang, he was shocked. His handwriting was too familiar, as if it was the handwriting of the previous emperor Jianwen! To carefully identify the manuscripts left by Emperor Jianwen who needed to obtain the secret, the comparison of the manuscripts left by Emperor Jianwen, who was proficient in calligraphy, would be much more accurate. Things about Jianwen are taboos, and Hu Butang did not dare to save them privately, but had seen them before.
In short, Hu Xuan would never dare to hide this thing. He could not hide it even after several people... Although he decided to report it as soon as possible, he had already had a vague premonition that there would be some trouble.
After facing the news, Zhu Di took the paper and looked carefully in the direction of the mullet window, and then turned his eyes to Hu Xuan who was standing in the hall: "This hand..." After saying that, he stretched out one hand from the sleeve of the dragon robe, and made a gentle move. The eunuch next to him tactfully retreated toward the door.
Hu Xuan said: "As soon as Wei Chen got the thing, he immediately felt that he wrote it."
On March 29, 2016, Zhu Di's expression changed slightly, as if he was stinged by the date. "He is indeed still alive." Zhu Di murmured. He looked up at the bright window, as if he was looking at the world outside the palace, imagining someone in a certain place.
It has been more than twenty years since that person has no news, but he must have been thinking about himself day and night. He is still alive! In fact, it is not surprising that person is still alive. He was originally Zhu Di's nephew, a younger generation. If there was no special situation, he should have lived longer than himself. However, the young appearance at the time is probably still traces of time.
Hu Ying said carefully: "It is better to carefully identify and compare whether it is an authentic work."
"Yes." Zhu Di nodded, "Let Wang Gouer get something out later. You can compare it carefully, but not too many people know about this."
"The old minister obeys the order." Hu Ying bowed.
Zhu Di looked at the words on the paper in his hand again, and there were not many words: The big thing was the most important time, and he ordered Peng Tianheng to attract the attention of the pseudo-Kun Hawks without regard for the loss. March 29, 2016... He could recite these two liuzi now, but he still read them word by word.
What are they going to do and what can they do? Rebellion... If they can succeed, there is no need to wait for more than twenty years. If they really want to rebel, Zhu Di feels that there is no pressure at all. After fighting for so many years, Emperor Gao led his troops when he fought against the country. He is familiar with the battle formation and murder and setting fire. Continue to send people to assassinate me? This should be guarded and keep people around him who can trust.
Just two lines of words, I really couldn't guess the reason. Zhu Di said, "Hu Ying, go down and write a secret memorial. How did you get this thing? What happened? Write it clearly for me."
"Yes, the old minister must first find someone to find out, and then write the matter into a text and present it to the emperor for reading it."
...When he returned from the Forbidden City, Hubutang rushed to organize the writing based on the various memorials below. Naturally, the emperor had no time to slowly look at the scattered materials and sorted out the Hubutang to do it clearly.
At this moment, Yan Ruofei came to the study. Although Hu Butang needed a quiet environment to think, he immediately put the pen on the inkstone when he saw Yan Ruofei coming to the study: Yan Ruofei is not a careless person, and there should be more important things to say when he comes here.
Sure enough, Yan Ruofei bowed and said, "Report to Mr. Hu, the news I just got, two things."
"Say." Hu Ying stopped everything in his hand.
Yan Ruofei said: "The first thing is that the owner of Taohua Villa Peng Tianheng died, Zhang Ping'an killed him, and several other rebels were arrested. The second thing is that there was news about the 'small matter' that Hu Gong last time, and it was found that Zhang Ping'an was adopted son."
"Submit me to see." Hu Ying reached out to come over. It was about the Taohua Villa. He had to figure out the ins and outs of human affairs first. Then the emperor asked for it before he could answer. As he looked, he said, "Transfer the head to the capital and protect it with ice and salt."
"yes."
"There is no report about Zhang Ping'an?" Hu Ying asked after turning it over.
Yan Ruofei said in a deep voice: "According to the order of Hubutang, I found a confidant to investigate secretly, and there was no movement or a piece of paper. The person who was doing business came back was just dictating."
Hu Ying nodded.
Yan Ruofei said: "Before Zhang Ping'an County Examination, he asked students from the county to recommend it. Perhaps those students in Shangyuan did not know the truth. As for the hometown file, they did not record Zhang Ping'an's true origin, but only said that they were Zhang Jiuyin's eldest son in Shangyuan County. So there was no problem at the beginning. But our people secretly visited several older villagers nearby and finally knew the truth. Zhang Jiuyin's wife was not pregnant more than 20 years ago, and suddenly she got a son. The neighbors knew that it was picked up by her. However, the house changed and the population was moved, and many people who were familiar with it were difficult to find it."
"Picked up..." Hu Ying calculated casually, and raised his thick eyebrows slightly. When was it twenty-two years ago? In this era, there were more things to prefer boys over girls, and abandon babies. A baby boy was fine but not easy to pick it up. Could it be that Zhang Ping'an's biological parents encountered something? At that time, all the civil and military officials of the Jianwen Dynasty were in Nanjing, and many families were destroyed. It is impossible to rule out that Zhang Ping'an was the baby of one of them.
Hu Ying pondered for a long time and said, "Even if there is a problem with his life experience, I should have nothing to do. I only intercepted an important secret letter not long ago, and now I have killed another party, so it will not have anything to do with the party."
"Yes." Yan Ruofei responded to a word and did not express his own opinion. He was just narrating the matter.
Hu Ying really didn't want to mess with Zhang Ning because he knew that Zhang Ning had a relationship with Yang Shiqi's daughter. How could the young man and woman be clear and clear? Moreover, Zhang Ning had some friendship with several people in the Eastern Palace. Except for Yang Shiqi and Yu Qian, no one else knew that Lu Zhen was not aware of him. Hu Ying still didn't know that he had a relationship with the Eastern Palace? In short, it was a troublesome. Maybe it was unlucky that Zhang Ning would not involve too much, it was not serious, but in short, it was an offensive thing... When Hu Ying saw Zhu Di today, he felt that the emperor seemed to be old again, and his spirit was obviously not as good as last year.
"Don't be offensive about this matter, we only know about it." Hu Ying raised his head and instructed, "Zhang Ning is a worker under my husband. If he has no problem with his person, it has nothing to do with us. As for this person's qualifications for imperial examinations and problems with his background file, it is the negligence of the local officials during his tenure, and it is not our turn to discuss the blame."
"Yes." Yan Ruofei still said simply.
Hu Ying raised his hand and put it down, and made many trivial and useless actions, and his mood seemed not very stable. He said again: "But... this person is not very innocent after all. He should be careful and not let him participate in confidential matters. The credit for seizing Taohua Villa is to be counted as much as possible on Wu Yong's head... But will Yang Shiqi have any objections to me in this way?"
He was a little undecided. In fact, this is Hu Ying's strengths and weaknesses. Over the years, he has always been able to be attentive and not offend both sides, but it also affects his achievements. Indecisiveness will always miss some opportunities.
But soon he didn't have to make any decisions. Zhu Di helped him, leaving him with no choice.
After Hu Ying sorted out the memorial and handed it over, Zhu Di soon summoned him to discuss it again. When Zhu Di asked who killed the person, Hu Ying had to say that Zhang Ning was unable to run to the ground in Yangzhou to kill people in Nanjing. Then he asked who intercepted the secret letter. Hu Ying mentioned Wu Yong, but in the end he could not avoid Zhang Ning.
Zhu Di quickly remembered Zhang Ning and said, "He can achieve results in a short period of time. This person can do things. Give him more power and let him follow the investigation and find out where that person is!" As he spoke, Zhu Di's tone gradually became more urgent.
The shadow of "that person" has been lingering deep in the emperor's heart, and now the handwriting has stimulated him even more. It seems that "that person" is very close, and you can truly feel his breath by closing your eyes.
What else did Hu Ying do? The emperor mentioned it himself, and that was an imperial edict, so there was no need to worry about it.
