There has never been a secret in the capital, and almost overnight, people in the yamen, large and small, knew that Wu Shaoqing's house was smashed, and they were shocked by this, and secretly guessed who did it.

It is necessary to read the Internet when chasing books

Although Wu Shaoqing is not welcome, and he has offended many high-ranking officials and magnates, no matter how he says it, he is also a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, a dignified official from the five grades, and a veritable scholar in the capital, smashing Wu Shaoqing's home is equivalent to slapping those scholars in the face, not to mention those pretentious Qingliu in the court, first of all, those Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy will not be willing.

Therefore, there are very few people in the capital who dare to do something to the attendants of the Hanlin Academy, and no one wants to provoke this kind of trouble, so as not to be attacked by the Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy and those clear streams in the court.

Soon, I don't know where the news came from, saying that the people who smashed Wu Shaoqing were sent by Master Yuanxia in order to teach him a lesson.

As soon as those officials in the capital pondered, they immediately believed a little, Wu Shaoqing used to be fine, but since Zhang Wang's matter was involved, his family was smashed, which is too much of a coincidence.

Venerable Yuan Xia was not an official in the court, he did not understand the rules of officialdom, and he was deeply trusted by Emperor Hong Xi, so naturally he did not take Wu Shaoqing, a small attendant, in his eyes, and it was only natural to send someone to teach Wu Shaoqing a lesson.

At this time, Qingliu and Hanlin in the capital are angry, since ancient times, scholars and doctors have been a high class, even the emperor usually treats them well, but now they are bullied by a demon who pretends to be a god and a ghost, and it is simply too deceitful.

Besides, it was Wu Shaoqing's house that was smashed today, if they turned a blind eye, then tomorrow it was not certain that Zhang Shaoqing and Wang Shaoqing's homes would suffer.

This encounter with Wu Shaoqing's family is not just his own matter, it has implicated Qingliu and Hanlin behind him, making those Qingliuhe Hanlin have cold lips and teeth, and they share the same hatred, which can be described as a big hornet's nest.

Empress Zhang was furious when she learned about Wu Shaoqing's family, and immediately asked people to find out which bastards did this, wouldn't this add fuel to the fire, forcing the Qingliu and Hanlin in the court to stand behind Wu Shaoqing, which was also equivalent to indirectly helping King Han.

Soon, Empress Zhang got the news that the people of Shuntian Mansion had already checked, and the group of big men who went to the Wu family to make trouble were all fresh faces, and some people saw them leave the city from the gate of Dongcheng after leaving the Wu family, and they were nowhere to be found.

At this time, Empress Zhang reacted, the affairs of the Wu family were done by the people of the King of Han, otherwise those murderous men would not have been outsiders with fresh faces and fled the capital in time? This undoubtedly turned the incident into a headless case.

"The wind is blowing!" Empress Zhang pondered for a long time, and with a wry smile at the end, she came to the window and looked at the stars in the sky, and muttered to herself, what should come is always coming, it seems that there will be a storm tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Zhou Yuting left Li's Mansion and hurried to the Taifu Temple Warden Office to find Hu Yitu.

Now, Wu Shaoqing's house has been smashed and his family has been beaten, which has aroused the public indignation of Qingliu and Hanlin in the court, and the situation is extremely urgent, and it is time for Hu Yitu to come out.

In front of the stables, Zhou Yuting met Yang Yungui, and she sent someone to inform Yang Yungui and asked Yang Yungui to come to see Hu Yitu together.

"Uncle Hu, you must give your niece an idea this time, otherwise your niece will not be able to come to see you in the future." After seeing Hu Yitu, Zhou Yuting took his hand and said pitifully.

Although it sounds a little alarmist, Zhou Yuting definitely did not exaggerate, if the King of Han won this contest and ascended to the throne, then Zhou Zheng's situation would be worrying, and there was no guarantee that the King of Han would settle the account.

"Is there something wrong with the emperor?" Hu Yitu smiled slightly, asked Yang Yungui to close the door, and asked quietly.

"Uncle Hu is really clever, and he can't hide anything from you." Zhou Yuting's expression was gloomy, "On the twenty-ninth of last month, the emperor has died. ”

"It seems that fasting and praying for blessings is the idea of resurrection." Hu Yitu sighed when he heard this, he was grateful to Emperor Hong Xi, after all, Emperor Hong Xi rehabilitated Fang Xiaoru, which made the guilt in his heart lighten.

"How did Uncle Hu guess?" A look of surprise flashed in Zhou Yuting's eyes, Li Yuntian was just an imperial history, Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong were the close ministers around Emperor Hongxi, and Hu Yitu could see that fasting and praying for blessings was Li Yuntian's handiwork.

"If it weren't for the idea of resurrection, how could he have entered the Qin'an Palace?" Hu Yitu naturally knew that Li Yuntian and Zhu Yuxin acted as the "golden boy and jade girl", and then said approvingly, "The resurrection of this golden cicada is really high, I'm afraid no one would have thought that he would go south to deliver a message to the prince." ”

"Uncle Hu, Xianggong said that if you encounter difficulties, you will come to your uncle to discuss, and your uncle has also heard about Wu Hanlin's family, what should I do now?" Zhou Yuting had to admire Hu Yituan at this time, and she could guess Li Yuntian's message to Zhu Zhanji, and asked worriedly.

"What news do you have for me?" Hu Yitu pondered for a moment, and his eyes fell on Yang Yungui who was standing aside, he saw Yang Yungui for the first time, and I believe that Yang Yungui would not follow for no reason.

"My lord, according to the investigation of his subordinates, Zhang Wang has an outer room and has a small house in the capital, which costs a lot of money, but his income is limited."

Yang Yungui didn't know about the death of Emperor Hong Xi, and was shocked, and when he heard Hu Yitu ask him, he hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Therefore, my subordinates specially checked it and found that he had manipulated the ingredients in the imperial dining room, colluded with several merchants who supplied ingredients, raised the price of those ingredients, and made a profit." ”

The reason why he went to check Zhang Wang was because he got Zhou Yuting's instructions, and Zhou Yuting asked him to check Zhang Wang when Zhang Wang sounded the Dengwen drum to sue Master Yuanxia, and later even Wu Shaoqing checked it again.

"Zhang Wang is the key to this turmoil, he died strangely, there must be a reason for it!" Hu Yitu couldn't help but glance at Yang Yungui when he heard this, he didn't say any news, and Yang Yungui not only told him what he wanted to know succinctly and clearly, but also found out so much about Zhang Wang's yankuai in a few days, which really surprised him.

"My lord, my subordinates don't think Zhang Wang is like someone else's pawn, otherwise it would be impossible for him to secretly collude with those food merchants, and then leave a handle for others." Yang Yungui hesitated for a moment, and said to Hu Yitu, "According to his subordinates, he is more like being coerced, and he has to do things for the other party." ”

"Did you find any evidence?" Hu Yitu's eyes showed a look of approval, Yang Yungui could think that this layer was enough to prove his excellence, no wonder Li Yuntian wanted to reuse this young man.

"The subordinates have found Zhang Wang's outer residence, but the subordinates have not alarmed the food merchants yet, and there is no evidence of their collusion with Zhang Wang." Yang Yungui replied in an orderly manner, he was worried that those food merchants would startle the snakes, so he did not act rashly.

"Go now, at any cost, you must let those people confess!" Hu Yitu bowed slightly, Yang Yungui was not wrong to be cautious in this matter, and then instructed in a deep voice, it has now reached a critical moment, and it is time to attack those food merchants.

"My subordinates understand." When Yang Yungui heard this, he bowed his hand to Hu Yitu and left quickly.

It was not for nothing that Li Yuntian arranged Yang Yungui in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which was the highest supervisory organ of the Ming Dynasty, and Yang Yungui, as the inheritor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, would be much more convenient to deal with the people in the major yamen in the capital and the three sects and nine streams.

Under the influence of Li Yuntian, Yang Yungui was like being reborn, no longer complaining like before, and putting on a cold and arrogant posture to the outside world, which also made him quickly adapt to the position in the Metropolitan Procuratorate after coming to the capital, which can be described as a fish in water, and he contributed a lot to Li Yuntian in the case of Jingtongcang.

"Uncle Hu, if it can be found out that Zhang Wang colluded with those businessmen to make profits, then the reason for Zhang Wang's suicide can be explained, he must have been used as a threat and had to cut himself off." After Yang Yungui left, Zhou Yuting flashed her beautiful eyelashes, and said to Hu Yitu in a coquettish voice.

"It seems that you, Mrs. Li, are not in vain!" Hu Yitu couldn't help but smile slightly when he heard this, if he had stayed before marrying Li Yuntian, Zhou Yuting would not have thought so much.

"Uncle Hu, you can't turn your elbow outward, it sounds like your niece is stained with the light of her husband, don't forget that your niece has been smart and clever since she was a child, how can you hide this little thing from your niece?" Zhou Yuting deliberately raised her mouth when she heard this, and complained dissatisfied.

"It seems that Uncle is going to be a villain this time." Hu Yitu smiled when he heard this, and then said helplessly, "I didn't expect my uncle to be a villain." ”

"Wicked?" Zhou Yuting didn't understand what Hu Yitu meant.

"Zhang Wang is just a medicine lead, the real fierce medicine is Wu Hanlin, if you don't break Wu Hanlin's medicine, then the situation in the capital will not be able to be reversed." Hu Yitu's brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Uncle is going to find someone to replace the dead ghost to break Wu Hanlin's fierce medicine!" ”

"For the dead?" Zhou Yuting couldn't help but be even more confused when she heard this, and looked at Hu Yitu curiously.

"Those people in the court don't want to get justice for Wu Hanlin, so let's give them justice." Hu Yitu glanced at Zhou Yuting and said meaningfully, "Wu Hanlin has offended so many people before, there must be people in it who want to hate him very much, so it seems logical that things will be done." ”

"Will they believe it?" Zhou Yuting understood now, it turned out that she was looking for someone to smash the black cauldron of Wu Shaoqing's house, and then asked with some concern.

"Do you think those clear streams really want to find out the truth?" The corners of Hu Yitu's mouth showed a hint of disdainful smile, "What they want is just a result, as long as the 'culprit' is severely punished, it will be silenced, Hu Yitu is just a lonely man in the court, who would really want to stand up for him?" ”

"Uncle Hu, since there is a way to deal with the current situation, then my niece will go to the palace to sue the queen mother, so as not to worry the queen mother." Zhou Yuting nodded thoughtfully when she heard this, and then remembered something and said in a coquettish voice.

"Zhang Wang's matter has not been done yet, it is too early to tell the queen mother, if there is a business trip, it will be difficult to explain to the queen mother."

Hu Yitu waved his hand at Zhou Yuting, he felt that Zhou Yuting was too sincere, and smiled and nodded to her, "Besides, good things must be sold at a price, so as to highlight its value." ”

"Niece understood." Zhou Yuting was stunned at first, and then smiled at Hu Yitu, knowing Hu Yitu's intentions. One
