Most people also saw the signs, there was definitely something going on here. So, everyone quickly wisely chose to shut up and continued to watch the excitement.
Because of the conflict in the yard, Shi Hu and Zhou Dingshan who were guarding outside also rushed over. Seeing the short knife in Tie Mo's hand, Zhou Dingshan frowned. Crossing the crowd, Zhou Dingshan came to Tie Mo, and Tie Mo whispered to him
After a few words, his expression changed and he quickly exited the courtyard. Within a moment, there was another noise outside the courtyard of the Duke's Mansion, the crowd parted, and what came turned out to be dozens of government officials and city patrol guards.
At this time, not to mention Zhang Weixian and others, as long as their brains are clear, they can see that there is something wrong with this matter. Something happened just now at the Duke's Mansion, and the tea time has not passed yet. The Yamen and the City Patrol Department of Shuntian Mansion
Here it comes, when did the men of Shuntian Prefecture become so efficient in doing things? Moreover, the leader was not a police officer, but Deng Yanxiang, the official of Shuntian Prefecture.
The people in the Guogong Mansion originally wanted to move the body away, but when the people from Shuntian Mansion arrived, they did not dare to act rashly. They could only look at Zhang Weixian helplessly. Zhang Weixian frowned and waved his hand to signal people to put down the body.
Deng Yanxiang had a faint smile on his face, but his expression was unusually solemn. After asking people to seal off the courtyard and keep other people out, he walked in and saluted Zhang Yan and others.
From the beginning to the end, Tie Mo did not throw away the bloody dagger in his hand, nor did he deny the killing. Deng Yanxiang seemed to be embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "General Tie, this is a serious matter, so please come with me.
"
"Oh? Mr. Deng, why do I want to go with you? I have already said that these two people have bad intentions, and Tie Mou did it out of help. My mother-in-law has testified about this. What? Do you doubt it?
Are you lying?" Tie Mo's words made Deng Yanxiang feel at a loss. According to the plan, this was not the case.
Zhang Yan stopped in the middle at the right time and said in a cold voice with a bad look: "General Tie is a meritorious official of the imperial court, how can he be slandered at will? These two people have evil intentions and intend to harm me. General Tie acted out of justice, what's wrong?
"
It is impossible for Zhang Yan to let Tie Mo follow Deng Yanxiang to Shuntian Mansion. Although she does not walk in the court, she can see the dirty things here better than ordinary people. As long as she enters the Shuntian Mansion Yamen, the door is closed, what dirty water
You can't pour it on your body? Even if Tie Mo can't be convicted in the end, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing for Tie Mo's reputation.
Tie Mo raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and patted Deng Yanxiang on the shoulder. Although he looked kind-hearted, for some reason, Deng Yanxiang felt that there was a murderous intention in the other person's eyes, as if he would continue killing at any time. Deng Yanxiang was suddenly startled.
Only then did he realize what the problem was. He was just a small official, while Tie Mo was a self-respecting general who had just made great achievements. Tie Mo dared to kill Zhang Yuan and Zhang Dong, why didn't he dare to kill him, Deng Yanxiang?
Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Deng Yanxiang's forehead. At this moment, Tie Mo raised his right hand, and a drop of blood fell from the short knife. The drop of blood made Deng Yanxiang's heart tremble wildly, and his whole body felt bad.
It was a threat, a naked threat, or a moderate threat. Now, all the words in the original plan were swallowed.
According to the plan, some charges were to be pinned on Tie Mo. Regardless of whether he could be convicted or not, the dirty water was poured on Tie Mo first. However, under Tie Mo's threat, Deng Yanxiang did not dare to do so, especially after seeing the dead man.
The thorough understanding of Zhang Yuan and Zhang Dong is a lesson learned from the past. This Tie Mo is simply inhuman.
"Mr. Deng, there are too many things going on tonight, and I am a little tired. If there is anything else, let's talk about it tomorrow. If anything is found out and I need my cooperation, then please ask Prefect Qin to issue an official letter!"
Deng Yanxiang's body stiffened, and after a while, he sighed helplessly in his heart. Qin Sheng, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, was considered a high official in the court, but it was still difficult to touch Tie Mo. Issuing an official letter meant that the evidence was conclusive, but now this
What kind of evidence can we get?
With his hands in hand, Deng Yanxiang could only apologize and let the two corpses leave the Duke's Mansion.
.......
The night was as cold as water, but it could not cool people's hearts. This night, many people were kept sleepless all night. To some people, what happened tonight might be just a story, but to people like Tie Mo and Zhang Weixian, it was almost the same as in the
I walked away once the hell gate was closed.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that tonight is a game. Zhang Yuan and Zhang Dong were bribed to do something unfavorable to Tie Mo and Zhang Yan. Unfortunately, these two people did not have time to speak out and accuse Tie Mo.
, was decisively silenced by Tie Mo. Moreover, Deng Yanxiang and the Shuntian government officials had been hiding not far away, waiting for something to happen to the Duke's Mansion so that they could come in and arrest people.
Tie Mo is in charge of the Xuanfu, which makes some people unhappy. They want to attack Tiemo and interfere in the affairs of the Xuanfu. This is not what Zhang Weixian is angry about. The ups and downs in the court, overt and covert fighting, are very normal, and should not be done.
Cheating him, Zhang Weixian. Tonight, he, Zhang Weixian, is hosting a banquet. These people are causing trouble in the Duke's Mansion. This clearly shows that they do not take Zhang Weixian seriously.
In the North City, in a house not far from the British government residence, Hou Shilu was sitting in front of the desk with his clothes on. Li Jiasheng, Hei Yunlong and Ma Fang were sitting on the other side. No one noticed that the veins in Hou Shilu's hand underneath were swollen.
He was trying his best to endure the anger in his heart.
The Sixth Ministry had ideas about Xuanfu. It was not something that happened in a day or two. It was just that because Hou Shilu had no fault and was quite prestigious, he never had a chance. No one expected that those people could not help it just after Hou Shilu resigned.
Take action. Fortunately tonight, Tie Mo reacted quickly and dealt with it properly, otherwise those people would have succeeded.
Hei Yunlong's face was ferocious, exuding a murderous intent, "Those people have gone too far. We have just defeated the Tatars and made great contributions to the court. They actually dare to attack Tie Mo at this time. The most hateful thing is that they also
Dare to involve your empress in this."
Hou Shilu sneered and said: "Hey, what else do they not dare to do? Isn't the empress's special status the best weapon for them to kill Tie Mo? But this method is too vicious."
"You guys, go back to Xuan Mansion tomorrow! Tie Mo continues to stay in the capital!" As soon as Hou Shilu finished speaking, Li Jiasheng and others became a little dissatisfied. Ma Fang said angrily: "Master General, are we still afraid of them? The soldiers will come to stop them.
, the water will come and the earth will cover it up, if they still dare to play dirty tricks, they will eventually lead someone to pick out their yamen."
With a bang, Hou Shilu slapped the table and stood up, "What the hell, you picked their yamen? Who gave you the power, who gave you the courage, do you want to rebel? You
Are they not the happiest people in doing this? Since those people dare to attack Tie Mo, they will definitely dare to attack you. How dare you do it like Tie Mo and handle things without making any mistakes? Which of those people is not a court official?
Veterans of many years, they are the best at these things.”
"You are all heroes fighting on the battlefield and fighting with the Tatars, but you are far behind in fighting with them. If you can't fight, just hide. If you are not in the capital, what can they do? Moreover, you return to Xuanfu and give me
Check the people under your command and throw out those who have ulterior motives, do you understand? In the past, I would pretend to be confused about some things to save the face of both parties, but these people are getting more and more excessive."
Hei Yunlong and others did not dare to refute anything, but in the end they bowed their hands, indicating that they would listen to Hou Shilu. Not long after, Hei Yunlong and others left the room, leaving only Tie Mo and Hou Shilu in the room.
Since entering the house, Tie Mo has rarely spoken. Hou Shilu, Hei Yunlong and others have been talking. There are too many things that happened tonight, and they are too shocking. After all, this is the first time that Tie Mo has encountered this kind of thing.
The thing is, he never expected that those people would dare to attack Zhang Yan. Now he finally understands what it means to make one mistake and you will be doomed, isn't it tonight?
After closing the door, Hou Shilu used the lowest voice and looked at Tie Mo with a wry smile, "You dealt with it very well tonight. I want to ask you, did nothing really happen between you and your empress?"
Hou Shilu stared hard into Tie Mo's eyes. Tie Mo raised his head slightly, moved his lips, and looked a little hesitant. Hou Shilu sighed and shook his head vigorously, "Okay, don't say anything anymore. Remember
Come on, you and I are innocent, nothing happened, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, the general understands. However, the general can't swallow this breath. Those people don't want to share the worries of the court, but they have a way to deal with them. The general fought hard with the Tatars and did not die on the battlefield, but almost died on the battlefield.
In the hands of these dirty people."
The more Tie Mo talked, the angrier he became, and he clenched his hands tightly. The court was really scary, with hidden murderous intentions hidden in the chatter and laughter. However, he had never been a cowardly person. From Anzhuang Castle to Yun Mansion, he had never eaten
Had such a loss.
Hou Shilu also showed a sad look. Since ancient times, many famous generals have died not only on the battlefield, but also in court battles. Among the famous generals on the battlefield, few are suitable for the court. And today's Ming Dynasty court is even more unbearable. Those who
People are doing things more and more excessively, treating people wrongly, without considering the impact it will have on the court, and only thinking about their own one-third of an acre of land.
"I don't care what you want to do, but don't go too far. If something happens, Supervisor Sun won't be able to protect you!"
"Don't worry, you will be measured in the end." Tie Mo grinned, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes. With Tie's current strength, it is indeed difficult to touch those people, but it does not hinder the disgusting people.
.......
On the other side, Cheng Jiming and others were also not sleepy. Qin Sheng, the magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture, rolled up his sleeves and sat aside with a look of helplessness. He looked up from time to time to look at the bosses around him and said, "This time, I will go as planned."
But I never thought that Tie Mo was acting out of common sense. When the subordinates entered the yard, they only saw two corpses, but it was Tie Mo who smashed all the excrement basins on the dead people."
Cheng Jiming showed a wry smile and raised his hand to rub his sore head. As he got older, he couldn't stay up late at night, but he had to hold on. After hearing the whole story, he could only smile wryly and said: "It seems that we all underestimate this.
Tie Mo is so young, but he was able to resolve the disadvantages in that situation in the blink of an eye. In fact, the most difficult part of this matter is not the killing, but the time to kill."
"If Zhang Yuan and Zhang Dong shouted something, there would be no point in killing people. This Tie Mo is decisive enough. When they just met, the two people were silenced before they could shout. Once they died, then Tie Mo would let Tie Mo
What to say, because we have no evidence, and no one can do anything against anyone. Hey, this guy is very difficult to deal with."
Qin Sheng frowned when he heard this and said in confusion: "My lord, this official is confused. If we let people into the house in advance, wouldn't Tie Mo be unable to defend himself?"
Although Qin Sheng's words were euphemistic, the meaning was very clear, that is, to go into the house and catch the traitor directly. The right way is to take advantage of others, and to catch the adulterer and the couple. When the truth is clear, what else can Tie Mo do? On the other hand, Qian Qianyi endured
He couldn't help rolling his eyes and said angrily: "What are you talking about? The queen is staying in the house, who dares to break into the house at will? Besides, if you enter the house, Tie Mo will not dare to kill anyone? Is it possible,
Why don't you ask me to arrange a group of people to catch the traitor?"
"This... I am being reckless..." Qin Sheng quickly apologized, but he still didn't agree with it in his heart. A group of old guys didn't care about their face. They wanted to win over Tie Mo, but they didn't want to do things too cheaply.
.Hey, a group of people who are just looking for fame and reputation dare to attack the empress, so what kind of dignity do they need? In Qin Sheng's view, this kind of thing should be either not done, or there should be no way out if it is done.
Qian Qianyi pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Looking at the current situation, we definitely can't use Tie Mo. In this case, we can only find a way from other places. A good idea is that everyone speaks of gold, and accumulation of destruction
Pingu, why not give it a try."
Cheng Jiming nodded lightly. He couldn't accuse Tie Mo. He could only guide public opinion and create rumors. Just doing this, he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
...
The New Year is approaching, but things are happening in the capital. First, Tie Mo raised money for disaster relief at a banquet, and then he committed murder. If these things are not exciting enough, what follows is a bit mind-boggling.
"Hey, have you heard? What happened in the courtyard of the Duke's Mansion last night was not simple." A middle-aged man in fine clothes was holding a wine glass and talking. Everyone around him listened with open ears.
Men's gossip.
"Speak quickly, tell me quickly, don't be too pretentious, what is going on?"
"Hey, Zhang Yuan and Zhang Dong are the stewards of the Duke's Mansion, so how could they possibly rob the Empress? I heard that General Tie and the Empress seemed to have a special relationship. The two seemed... Hehe, Zhang
Yuan Zhangdong happened to see it, and after seeing this kind of thing, do you think General Tie can still let them live?"
"Oh? Doesn't that mean the empress and General Iron..."
The next day, there was a lot of discussion in the tea house and the restaurant, and what they were talking about was not the murder, but Tie Mo and Zhang Yan. Folks love gossip, and this matter quickly spread throughout Chengdu and became a hot topic among everyone.
The news spread to the palace.
Although Chongzhen didn't pay much attention to the bad things in the world, he was still very angry after hearing about this incident.
