Chapter 123: An Unexpected Whistleblower
Chapter 124: An Unexpected Whistleblower
Since beating Zhang Hui's father and son, after several diagnoses and treatments, the condition of the British Gong Zhang Fu has gradually improved, and he has become more sober. Seeing this situation, the imperial physician Shi Quan no longer limited the number of times Zhang Yue could visit, and made it clear that the letter from Mrs. Wang had not yet been shown to Zhang Fu, and returned the letter to him.
On this day, when Zhang Fu was sober, Zhang Yue stood by the bed and read the letter, but when Zhang Fu asked about the situation in Nanjing, he still hid Zhang Guifei and vomited blood, not to mention that Zhang Hui's father and son were driven away by Zhu Di due to misconduct.
"I have led troops in Cochin four times without being harmed, and this time I will be sick for so many days." Zhang Fuzi, who had just woken up from a serious illness, did not have the same ruddy face as usual, and his spirit was also quite poor, and after sighing, he said, "Your eldest aunt is also confused, you still have to take the township test this year, who can't come but want you to come?" What time is it now? ”
"Uncle Lobby, it's August 27 now, and it's been a few days since the township test." Zhang Yue frowned again when he saw Zhang Fu, and hurriedly explained, "The emperor brought the imperial grandson to visit before, and knew that I had delayed this year's township examination, and he especially rewarded me for my background. So, you don't need to worry about my future, you should just take a good rest. ”
Knowing that the emperor actually came to visit him during his illness, and learned that Zhang Yue was actually given a lift, Zhang Fu was taken aback, wanted to say anything more but couldn't speak, and finally let out a long sigh. Although Zhang Yue never said why Mrs. Wang and his brothers and nephews did not come, he understood the emperor's temperament very well, and he would definitely not give indiscriminate rewards for no reason, so he could vaguely guess a few points, and at this time he had a strong desire to survive.
If he really falls, his brothers and nephews will definitely be in a mess, and the Zhang family's decline is only afraid that it will be in the blink of an eye!
Zhang Fu's condition has improved, but Shi Quan has become more cautious in diagnosing and treating medicines. In his words, healing is not only about healing, but also about healing. It is necessary for Zhang Fu to appear in front of everyone again, and he can also go to war, so that he can be regarded as a competent doctor and a clever method.
Hearing what people said, Zhang Yue Fang understood why Zhu Di, the Emperor of Yongle, sent this person to the Tai Hospital. Naturally, I am grateful for his dedication.
It was about that day when Weifu visited and found that there were too few people in this Nuoda mansion, Zhu Di gave ten rooms for sturdy slaves and maids after he went back, and after Rongshan settled down the people, he reported back to Zhang Yue, and everyone was assigned an errand, and the manpower in each room was also sufficient. The rewards and punishments were divided up and down in this family, and gradually there was a solemn atmosphere in the mansion.
It's just that Zhang Yue not only has to take care of Zhang Fu who is sick, but also has to deal with the noble officials who come to visit the patient. This inner and outer affairs alone will consume a huge amount of energy, and this inner house affairs will have to be managed by Autumn Amber to help manage most of them. It was the first time for the two women to take care of such a big thing, and they were all cautious, but nothing went wrong.
Zhang Fu's condition recovered slightly, and everyone in the family was happy. Zhang Yue went back and forth between Zhang Fu's residence and his room seven or eight times a day. A month later. Seeing that Zhang Fu was barely able to walk with his support, he was even more overjoyed and hurriedly sent a letter to Mrs. Wang to report the good news.
On this day, he sent away the letter sent to the city of Nanjing, and a girl came in to report that someone had come to the palace. Since the emperor came. This reward is one at two ends in three days, so he has long been used to it, and at this time he thought that he was still a eunuch who came to reward medicinal herbs and brocade. Hurriedly out of the courtyard gate, from the sandwich out of the hanging flower gate to the front yard, when he saw the flower hall from a distance, he also saw the surrounding group of soldiers in brocade robes, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
In the past, almost all the rewards were sent by big eunuchs with small eunuchs, how could it be a brocade guard this time?
One into the flower hall. He found that there was only one person in a big red python robe in this big room who was drinking tea leisurely, and it was Yuan Fang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard. At this moment, he suddenly felt even more puzzled, and still quietly stepped forward to see him, but he thought about the other party's intention in his heart - if it was said that the dignified brocade guard was actually here to give a reward, this was naturally absolutely impossible.
"Third son, this time I came for official business."
Yuan Fang didn't let Zhang Yue guess for long, smiled slightly and said bluntly: "This official is ordered to investigate the case of Liang Qian and Zhou Mian instigating the prince to set up prisoners. The case was supposed to be over. Who knows that yesterday the official received the first complaint. In the past few days when the prince ordered the prisoners to be private, Liang Qian traveled back and forth to the East Palace. The only person I've seen at home is you, the third son. The person who made the complaint also swore that you had seen Liang Qian in Du Mansion before, so the official had to come and ask. ”
Although Yuan Fang said it lightly, Zhang Yue was really shocked when he heard this. Suddenly, he remembered the word Du Fu in Yuan Fang's words just now, and his heart chuckled even more.
After calming down his mind, he smiled and said, "Lord Yuan, don't scare me, I did see Lord Liang in the Du Mansion at the beginning, but he went to borrow books at that time, and I happened to meet him, so Mrs. Du introduced me to meet me." After that, I did go to the Liang Mansion once, but it was just to ask for schoolwork, and I didn't sit for long before leaving, which is also worth being sued by others? ”
At this moment, Zhang Yue was really worried in his heart, and he said this only because he thought that the commander of the Jinyi Guard had never shown malicious intent, so he had to gamble. Otherwise, everyone knows that Jinyi Wei is the emperor's earth eagle dog, if he is really convicted of his crimes, why would he come to the door so politely to ask?
"Since being a whistleblower, it's not for money or hatred, or something else, what's worth it?" Yuan Fang looked at Zhang Yue without blinking, and the smile on his face gradually retracted, "The third prince was born late, and I didn't see the wanton situation of Hu Weiyong's case and the Lanyu case at the beginning, so I naturally don't know that as long as there is a first complaint, Jinyiwei can arrest people, and after arresting people, they can be tortured." How can there be a brave man under Miki, and it is not easy to convict him? ”
No matter how dull Zhang Yue was, he could still hear the meaning of Yuan Fang's words at this time, and immediately asked: "Didn't Lord Yuan say that as long as someone sues me, I will not be able to argue?" ”
"If you don't have the surname Zhang, that's the case." Yuan Fang took out a piece of paper from his sleeve at this time and handed it to Zhang Yue casually, "This is the letter delivered by the first informant to the Beijing Health Office, you might as well take a look." ”
He took the piece of paper and swept it with his eyes. Zhang Yue only felt like falling into an ice cellar. Although the handwriting on this paper is sloppy, the content on it is clear and distinct, a certain year, a certain month, a certain day, and a certain time, the time when he entered and exited the Du Mansion and the Liang Mansion is clear, and then compared with the time when the prince recalled that Chen Qianhu, it is simply an extremely perfect documentary evidence. Although he did not accuse him of the crime, it was because of this that it was more suspicious.
"Since the third son's surname is Zhang. is also the cousin of the British duke, the emperor once praised you, and may not punish you for this documentary evidence, but if the emperor has a mustard in his heart, you are afraid that your future will not be beautiful. Besides......" Yuan Fang paused slightly, and then said earnestly, "If this documentary evidence is not aimed at you, then the spearhead may be your teacher." You probably don't know. Just yesterday, the emperor summoned Liang Qian, and the reason was your teacher Du Zhendi's advice. Although the emperor believes that this crime should not be borne by Liang Qian alone, after all, there is no pardon, and now he is still imprisoned in the edict of the Beijing Guard......"
Although Yuan Fang never finished speaking. But Zhang Yue immediately understood what the hidden part of his head was, and he secretly felt cold in his heart. He couldn't help but look at the handwriting on the paper again, and naturally found nothing.
"Fortunately, it is not a secret that your teacher has a friendship with Liang Qian, and he told the emperor a few days ago about the fact that he once asked you to ask Lord Liang for your homework. Therefore, when I reported this matter yesterday evening, the emperor not only did not believe it, but was also very angry, and asked me to investigate the informant thoroughly. I'm here today, not so much to interrogate whether the third prince is related to Liang Qian's case, but to ask, what clues does the third prince have for this informant? ”
This thing suddenly went around in such a circle, Zhang Yue was naturally stunned. If only this had been done a long time ago. Now that he is just tracking down the first accuser, isn't Yuan Fang's words at the beginning scaring him?
Yuan Fang is not like a step to the heaven and earth discipline, he started from the small banner of Jinyi Wei, and was promoted step by step to the current commander of the third grade, this ability to observe words and colors has long been perfect, Zhang Yue only moved slightly, he smiled: "The first words are just a joke with the third prince, and the third prince only needs to answer the question I just asked now." There is no emperor's will in broad daylight. Someone dared to spy on the nephews of the British commons. This is really contempt for our brocade guards. I have to give an explanation to the emperor and the British duke. ”
Several names flashed through Zhang Yue's mind in an instant, however. Thinking that the other party could accurately capture his whereabouts, that ability was comparable to that of Jinyiwei, he really couldn't imagine that there would be someone among the people he offended who would have such great powers, and besides, some things were not enough for outsiders. So, although he instinctively felt that Yuan Fang had an ulterior motive for asking this question, he still shook his head.
"Lord Yuan, I really can't think of it."
"Oh?" Yuan Fang raised his eyebrows, then took the piece of paper handed back by Zhang Yue, and said thoughtfully, "Lord Du was appointed this year, and the third prince went from Kaifeng to Nanjing, and now he has come to Beijing is only a matter of this year, and it stands to reason that there are only a limited number of people who are offended." Since it is limited, the brocade guards can always find clues when they go out with their people. ”
Zhang Yue saw Yuan Fang's confident appearance of acting impartially, and thanked him with a smile. After the matter was done, he didn't want to keep this Jinyi guard commander who was only afraid that he could stop the child's night crying, so he personally got up to send him off.
However, he just sent it to the door of the flower hall, and Yuan Yi turned around and said with a smile: "The third prince doesn't need to send it, now that the British prince is still sick, you still have to take care of him." The emperor let go of this matter so easily this time, and the British duke's health has improved. As for this informant, my Jinyiwei's methods, the third prince can rest assured. However, I also want to remind the third prince that since you are now a lifter, it is time to think about your future and future. ”
Seeing Yuan Fang's big move, he took dozens of subordinates and left, and Zhang Yue took a deep breath at this time.
As soon as Jinyiwei left, Rong Shan ran over from another courtyard door at a trot, and when he got closer, he first stood for a while, and after taking a deep breath, he suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, and cried bitterly through the cracks in the blue bricks on the ground: "Young Master Yue, the messenger from Nanjing has just arrived, and our family ...... Our Zhang Niangniang is gone! ”
