Liu Ji's doubts have become more and more. Originally, Liu Chengfeng thought that even if he was a grand cabinet minister, he would be a little far-fetched to say that he colluded with the rebellion.
After all, everything needs motivation to do, and to put it bluntly, it is the reason. To do such a rebellion, first of all, is there any benefit. Only when anything is beneficial will people do it. Liu Ji is already a Grand Secretary, although
He once retired, but was not young. Now he has returned to the cabinet and is at the highest position in the Ming Dynasty. Why should such a person collude with the thief? This is not good for him at all.
But if you want to say that someone like Liu Mianhua has any ideals or ambitions, it would be even more nonsense. Such shameless people run through the entire Ming Dynasty. There may not be many other cabinet chiefs and secondary assistants. Just say
The corruption and harshness of others are also shameful. Although he is bad, he is not as good as his.
If Liu Mianhua had any ideals and ambitions, Liu Chengfeng would rather move his head down and play as a ball.
But at this moment, Liu Ji suddenly felt something was wrong. It was obvious that Liu Ji was always evasive and vague about his relationship with Yang Zuo. In fact, even if he had something to do with Yang Zuo, it would be nothing.
At worst, Yang Zuo, the minister of Taichang Temple, has been in the court for so many years, and must have many friends and old friends. He is a rebel, and others may not be a rebel.
But Liu Ji was so evasive, he clearly had a ghost in his heart.
Liu Chengfeng looked at Liu Ji coldly and said slowly: "Mr. Liu, let me tell you the truth. Yang Zuo is suspected of colluding with a rebellion. He has been promoted several times, and he has recommended it. Besides, he has it with you.
Can you know the friendship between teachers and students? Before his death, the rebellion party Dingxian said that the rebellion party was surnamed Liu. Your disciple had colluded with the rebellion party and was surnamed Liu. Only these two points would you dare to ban the house of the rebellion now.
Lord, the Ming Cult's rebellion is of great importance, and anyone is suspicious. Not to mention a grand sect, even a prince or a vassal king, the court will never tolerate it. If you repeatedly conceal your relationship with Yang Zuo, you will eventually be able to hide your relationship with Yang Zuo.
What's your intention?"
When Liu Ji heard that Yang Zuo was a rioter, a trace of coldness flashed across his eyes. Instead, Liu Chengfeng couldn't see through it. He thought to himself, could Liu Ji be concealing something at this time?
He didn't say anything anymore, knowing that nothing could be asked from Liu Ji. Since that's the case, the most important thing for him is to find out the relationship between Liu Ji and Yang Zuo. When the evidence comes to his sight, what should Liu Ji say?
.He smiled coldly and stood up. ** said: "Come, from now on, no one in the Liu Mansion is allowed to enter and leave. It is a big deal to do something that has to do with the party. If it is Lord Liu, he would be
I was really wronged. Mr. Liu would come to the door to carry a thorn to apologize, but I was afraid of everything, so I would like to ask Lord Liu to forgive me. For this matter, I will ask the imperial edict to come down."
Liu Chengfeng ignored Liu Ji and took a group of lieutenants to retreat, then shouted to the lieutenants: "Everyone retreated to the mansion and sent a thousand people to take turns to watch outside the Liu mansion.
No one is allowed to enter or leave." He called a hundred households again and whispered: "Go and investigate immediately. In any case, we must find out the relationship between Yang Zuo and Liu Ji. Although Yang Zuo is dead, it is impossible.
He has no relatives and friends at all. Follow the map and screen them all. Don’t let go of any clues. If you find them, you will be the most important thing."
Baihu Ji nodded and bowed, "I understand, I will go there if I dig three feet into the ground, and I will definitely find something."

The Jinyiwei dispersed like a tide and was all guarding outside the mansion. The Liu Mansion finally became quiet.
Under the shadow of the candle.
Liu Ji's face looked ugly. He was very uneasy and walked back and forth in the Zhengqi Hall. Except for the most confidant warrior, the rest of the people were all shut out. The warrior remained silent, about 40 years old, with a pair of eyes.
His eyes were a little dull, but if he looked carefully, he found that after this dullness, he felt a little dull.
Liu Ji was walking, and after a long time, he suddenly stopped, glanced at the warrior, and said lightly: "According to Liu Chengfeng's temperament, he will definitely follow the roots and continue to investigate. Old... I will finish it completely...
”
His face was as pale as paper, and he had suddenly grown old for a long time. His aggressiveness and momentum just now were wiped out, and he was replaced by a deep fear.
"If I were Liu Chengfeng, I would definitely start from Yang Zuo's old friend in the capital. These people may not know what I and Yang Zuo have. But I heard that after Yang Zuo died, there was a confidant in charge but he didn't know what to do.
If Liu Chengfengshun finds out the trace, it would be a bad idea."
Liu Ji's old face twitched, a trace of murderous intent flashed through his eyes, and then he said, "Let me find a way to inform the people outside and stare at the actions of the Jinyiwei. If they really discovered something, they should do it no matter what.
Do you understand if you kill someone to silence you?”
Bushido: "There is no place to surround you outside now, I'm afraid..."
Liu Ji narrowed his eyes again, and he felt a little helpless, saying, "How could things get to this point!" He suddenly gritted his teeth again and said, "Liu Chengfeng, I am incompatible with you!"
"The person who comes... gets the elixir for me."
Someone came in with clear water and a pill. Liu Ji swallowed the pill without hesitation, then fed the pill and sat on the chair. Then, his old face turned a little bloody and his eyes were
A turbid eyes became extremely clear, and the undemonic demeanor of joy and anger returned to his body. He licked his shriveled lips, and Liu Ji said: "I will try my best to stop Liu Chengfeng from doing anything.
Continue to check, but be careful when acting and don’t notice anything.”
Bushido: "Yes."

At midnight, riding a horse on this cold street, Liu Chengfeng was exhausted. He worked all night and felt exhausted. The team of lieutenants behind him were obviously exhausted, and his steps became
A little heavy.
"Sir, where are you going now?" Gao Qiang behind him asked Liu Chengfeng.
Liu Chengfeng thought for a while: "Brothers are all tired. Let me go back to the Marquis' Mansion and rest. People are not steel, so how can they not sleep?"
All the lieutenants were as if they were amnesty and followed Liu Chengfeng back to the Marquis' Mansion. The doorman saw that the Marquis had not come back and did not dare to go to bed. When he heard something was happening outside, he immediately poked his head out.
Seeing the master come back, his sleepy look suddenly became a little energetic. He smiled and took the lantern to pick it up, and said, "The two ladies have just sent someone to ask if the marquis has returned, and the villain doesn't know yet.
Why did you say that? The Marquis finally came back. Yes, the eldest lady said that she had made a bowl of ginseng soup for you and told the Marquis to use it."
Liu Chengfeng said in shame: "Why, they are not asleep yet."
The men said, "I sent someone half an hour ago, but now I don't know. However, I saw Bier, the little maid next to His Highness, come here for a while. I guess the second wife was worried and asked her to come here.
look."
Liu Chengfeng nodded and said, "Well, I understand." Gao Qiang and others naturally went to the rooms in the outer mansion to rest. Liu Chengfeng walked into the inner mansion alone and looked from a distance.
The lights at Wen Chenxi's attic were turned off, so he turned to Zhu Yueluo. The lights in Zhu Yueluo's attic were brightly lit, and Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a little warmth in his heart. He walked over quickly. As soon as he arrived outside the attic, he happened to touch him.
When Bier came out with red eyes, she saw Liu Chengfeng, Bier said in surprise: "Ah... the Marquis is back."
When she was surprised, she was very loud. Liu Chengfeng had to lower his voice and said, "Down in the middle of the night, don't disturb people's dreams. Have you not slept so late?"
Bier said, "How dare I sleep if Your Highness doesn't sleep? The Marquis came back so late. Your Highness kept saying that you would wait a little longer, and that's when it's time."
Liu Chengfeng smiled and said, "This is my sin. Go to bed quickly, you don't have to serve you here."
Bi'er nodded and went to the bedroom next door to rest. Liu Chengfeng entered the room. Zhu Yueluo did not untied her clothes and kept waiting for Liu Chengfeng to come back. He just heard Bi'er's surprise voice and knew Liu.
Chengfeng was coming and was about to open the door. Liu Chengfeng pushed the door open, and the two of them looked at each other through the threshold.
Liu Chengfeng showed some apology and said, "Some official duties are busy, but I'm a little late when I come back. I'm sorry for my sins."
Zhu Yueluo smiled slightly and said, "As long as you don't go to the Fireworks Alley, you won't be in trouble if you don't go back all night."
Liu Chengfeng was speechless. Zhu Yueluo had been very happy to integrate into the environment of the capital. He actually knew about the Fireworks Alley. But then again, since he passed by, she and Wen Chenxi and his sisters were together all day long, and Wen Chenxi was fine.
The little girl Chen Ruo is almost a master of everything in the capital. She has always liked to chatter and has never been idle. Zhu Yueluo knew something, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
Liu Chengfeng beat him tiredly and said, "What kind of messy place is Fireworks Alley? It's the first time I heard about it for my husband."
Zhu Yueluo blushed and said, "My husband has worked in a hundred households there before. I don't know where it is. Okay, I know you have worked hard outside, and I don't care about you. Let Yueluo come and guess, husband
It must be for the last time when we were married. The monk Dingxian said that there were still chaos in the capital. I guess my husband found something, and there was no mud on his feet.
,So, my husband has been wandering around Neidong City and Neixi City. Only these two places are all bluestone brick roads, and people clean them every day. So, the person my husband is going to check now must be from the court.
