Summary of the previous chapter: Lu Zhan took Ye Xianggao to find Wei Zhongxian. Ma Xiaoquan sent people to investigate the cause and learned about Ye Xianggao's recent difficulties...
Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin and thought for a moment, then said: "Ye Xianggao and Liu Yijing are responsible for the cabinet affairs together, but Liu Yijing is in poor health. In fact, Ye Xianggao is presiding over the cabinet work. Well, this is an opportunity.
.”
Bei Mingxue didn't understand what Ma Xiaoquan said and asked: "Ma Xiaoquan, what chance do you have?"
Li Qinghan smiled and explained for Ma Xiaoquan: "Ye Xianggao's wife's nephew is in prison. As an uncle, even if Ye Xianggao doesn't like him as an unrelated relative, he still has to save his wife's face. Of course,
, and because of Ye Xianggao's current status, he cannot come forward directly."
Dongfang Qingxue chatted: "Is this the reason why Ye Xianggao went to find Lu Zhan?"
Li Qinghan nodded.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said, "Although Ye Xianggao's unrelated relative is in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, we still have to help him out no matter what."
Ma Xiaoquan said, with a cunning light in his eyes...
Two days later, Jin Yiwei suddenly sent a message to the Ministry of Punishment, saying that the relative of the guy named Liu, Ye Xianggao, whom the Ministry of Punishment had arrested recently, was a Jurchen spy and needed to be brought to Jin Yiwei Prison for interrogation.
After receiving the news, the Minister of Punishment naturally disagreed. He immediately went to ask Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao. Unexpectedly, Zhu Youxiao did not see him, but he saw King Xin Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youjian told the Minister of Punishment not to disturb the emperor. As for the people Jin Yiwei wanted, he asked the Punishment Ministry not to stop them. Otherwise, if important information is missed, no one can escape responsibility.
The Minister of the Ministry of Justice returned to the Ministry of Justice with King Xin's oral instructions and conveyed the meaning to several ministers.
As one of the ministers, Lu Zhan was naturally very dissatisfied. He knew very well who Jin Yiwei wanted to suddenly ask for, but he knew that Gui Gui knew it. If he wanted to refute it, he had to find evidence. Besides, Liu had already been accused of being a Jurchen spy.
hat, if you object now, is that not the same as being an accomplice of a Jurchen spy?
Lu Zhan suffocated and watched helplessly as the Jin Yiwei escorted the prisoner away. His hatred was like a torrent of river water, endless...
That night, Lu Zhan went to Wei Zhongxian alone and asked Wei Zhongxian to fight with Ma Xiaoquan to rob him.
Wei Zhongxian has had this intention for a long time, but his Dongchang is not as convenient as Jinyiwei for recruiting people. Besides, Wei Zhongxian is reorganizing the Dongchang manpower recently. Even if he wanted to intervene, he would be a little overwhelmed.
"Well... Mr. Lu, it's not that I won't help you, it's true that you can't escape."
Lu Zhan was angry in his heart, but he still had to look nice on the surface. Now that he was seeking help from Wei Zhongxian, he naturally couldn't yell at others like last time.
"Eunuch Wei, this matter is not a trivial matter. Ma Xiaoquan robbed Hu halfway, and it was obvious that he wanted to win over Ye Shoufu."
Wei Zhongxian frowned and said, "I know this too. It's just that Ye Xianggao has always been smooth. He doesn't offend anyone and doesn't bully anyone. I'm afraid it's not Ma Xiaoquan who can win him over."
Lu Zhan fanned the flames and shook his head and said: "Eunuch Wei, what you said is wrong. That Ma Xiaoquan is very scheming and cunning. If we don't kill him now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to suppress his arrogance in the future."
Wei Zhongxian made no gnawing sound.
Lu Zhan was so anxious that he rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Eunuch Wei, there are three beauties accompanying Ma Xiaoquan. Needless to say, Li Qinghan, the lower officials also know that Eunuch Wei has been planning on Li Qinghan for a long time...
..As for the other two, one is called Dongfang Qingxue and the other is called Bei Mingxue. I don’t know where Ma Xiaoquan got them from. Oops, if the official is not old, I’m afraid..."
As soon as Wei Zhongxian heard the words "Li Qinghan", his eyes immediately lit up. After hearing Lu Zhan briefly introduce the other two beauties, Wei Zhongxian finally couldn't help it anymore.
"Mr. Lu, helping you is out of the question. Instead of doing that, I suggest that you and I form an alliance..."
Lu Zhan was stunned and thought to himself that you are just a eunuch who serves Li Bingbi. Why are you so awesome and you still want to form an alliance with me? What a joke.
After thinking about it, Lu Zhan smiled and said nothing.
Of course Wei Zhongxian understood what Lu Zhan meant. Since it was an alliance, he would naturally give him some sweeteners.
Wei Zhongxian said: "Master Lu, although I am just an eunuch with a pen, you also understand that many of the emperor's memorials have to go through my hands..."
Wei Zhongxian deliberately spoke in an understatement, and his eyes were very confused, but to Lu Zhan's ears, his words contained a lot of useful information.
Lu Zhan weighed it in his mind and nodded: "Eunuch Wei is quick to speak, so I will naturally be willing to work with Eunuch Wei to deal with Ma Xiaoquan. In the future, Eunuch Wei may speak up, but if Mr. Lu can do anything, he will definitely help Eunuch Wei."
"
When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he laughed and patted Lu Zhan on the shoulder: "Master Lu is really... really... eh? How do you say that... what to eat
Shit Junjie?"
Lu Zhan smiled awkwardly: "Those who understand current affairs are heroes."
"Yes, yes, that's it, that's it. Come on, Mr. Lu, have a cup of tea with me, and let's talk slowly..."
...
In Jinyiwei Prison...
Ma Xiaoquan stood in front of a person and looked at him carefully.
"Your name is Liu Hongfei?" Ma Xiaoquan asked coldly.
"Well, so what, let me tell you, my uncle is Ye Xianggao, the chief minister of the dynasty. Let me tell you, if you dare to touch a hair of my hair today, my uncle will never spare you..."
When Ma Xiaoquan heard this, he snorted: "Oh, boy, your mouth is quite tough. Well, Ye Shoufu, not bad, not bad, but do you know where you are now?"
"Where? I don't care where it is. Let me go quickly. If I don't let you go, you will die, haha..."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and murmured: "Boy, it seems that when I took you here before, you were in a dark place and didn't pay attention. Okay, okay, then let me tell you that this place is the prison of Jin Yiwei."
"Jin... Jinyiwei...weiweiweiweiweiwei... the prison..."
Ma Xiaoquan said humbly: "Yeah, what do you think? Boy, someone reported you, saying that you are still a Jurchen spy, so...well, we generally don't have many survivors in the Jinyi Guards.
, you collaborate with the enemy, this is a capital crime, and...even if your uncle is Ye Xianggao, I'm afraid he can't save you."
"Sir...Sir, I am wronged, I am wronged, I am not a Jurchen spy, I really am not, I can't even speak Jurchen words..."
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Oh, according to you, only those who can speak the Jurchen dialect are spies. So if this happens, all the businessmen who go to Liaodong to do business will become spies?"
