"When I was a child, I went to school in the inner study hall, and Gonggong Zhang once said to me, the palace is not better than the outside of the palace, you need to be on guard at all times, you worship our family as a father-in-law, and the future is not worried, but you must also guard against jealousy, if you don't live to be rich and noble, don't mention anything......"

Zou Yi spoke indifferently, untied a burden as he spoke, and took out a tea bowl from it, and a lot of water spilled out of the tea bowl, but everyone ignored this, but saw a silver hairpin in the tea bowl, and the lower end of the silver hairpin was already black.

"On Father-in-law Zhang's side, on our side, we don't try to drink water and tea, except for this, even if the palace is in your own residence, you have to try."

The silver hairpin is jet black, which means that the tea is highly poisonous, Li Wenyuan, Zou Yi, and Lu Wancai gathered in the single courtyard behind the revitalization building, their faces gloomy.

Outside the house were the guards sent by Wang Tong, and on the outer periphery were people from Shuntianfu, Jinyiwei and Dongchang, staring around vigilantly.

The entire Jingshi is now fine, and even many people don't know about the assassination of Li Wenyuan, Lu Wancai, and Zou Yi, after all, the three of them are not the kind of powerful high-ranking officials on the surface, but secretly, they have all been investigated, and the people who can be used by the Public Security Division, Jinyiwei and Dongchang have already taken action.

"There are no assassins on this side of South Street, they are either hiding in the house outside, or someone has answered, and no one has been caught."

"I suppressed the matter over there in Shuntianfu, and found some experienced old catchers to check there, there are many people in Shuntianfu, and I can't hide any news."

Li Wenyuan and Lu Wancai exchanged situations, Zou Yi picked up the silver hairpin in the tea bowl, looked at the black end, and said:

"From boiling tea to delivering it to our table in the palace, it takes a few people to pass through, and I don't know how many loopholes there are in it, and I can't find it out if I want to."

Lu Wancai lowered his head and groaned, and asked in a deep voice:

"What does Grandpa Zhang's side mean?"

"Father-in-law Zhang said that a few of us should be careful and secretly investigate with our hearts, but don't bring it to the surface."

Hearing this, "Don't lift it to the bright side", Li Wenyuan frowned, and just about to speak, Lu Wancai patted him with his hand and said in a deep voice:

"Now because of a whip law on the Jingshi side, the emperor's relatives, the rich and noble boss and Zhang Ge Lao's side are quite wrong, if there is any right or wrong, it will be taken out by someone with a heart to involve the argument, and it will be lifted to the surface, and the Jingshi will shake not to say, it will involve irrelevant people......"

"Isn't the life of our security department a human life?"

Li Wenyuan raised his eyebrows and asked in a rough voice, Lu Wancai took the folding fan and slapped his palm a few times, and said:

"Now there are no more twists and turns, it must be a monstrous giant*, the Department of Public Security can't be involved now, and Lord Wang can't be involved!!"

Li Wenyuan slapped the table with a slap behind him, but he didn't make a sound, grabbed the wine jug and poured himself a glass, leaned back, thought about it, grabbed the wine jug and drank a few sips at the spout.

The atmosphere in the room was dull, Zou Yi looked left and right, shook his head, and said in a low voice:

"The Queen Mother doesn't want to have any more rights and wrongs in the palace, Brother Lu was fined in the previous paragraph, and the Department of Public Security was reprimanded, all of which are the same, and now this matter is tossed out, the Queen Mother is afraid that she is not in a hurry to investigate, but blames us for making trouble."

"I also have news from here, saying that the Queen Mother is much more generous to the people who run errands everywhere in the palace...... Some time ago, Li Wenquan's motion to go to Beijing was rejected by Zhang Gelao, and the Empress Dowager may feel that the outer court is unreliable, and she wants to get close to the inner court......"

The two of you said it word by word, but their eyes looked at Li Wenyuan, in fact, these were all explanations for Li Wenyuan, and they only said a few words, but someone outside reported that someone from Shuntian Mansion was looking for Lu Wancai.

The name was directly reported outside, and Lu Wancai confirmed that he let the person in, and the person came in, nodded and said hello to everyone, and then leaned in and whispered a few words in Lu Wancai's ear.

After finishing speaking, Lu Wancai frowned, waved his hand to let the person out, and waited for the door to close before he whispered:

"After examining the corpse, the leather boots and the lining, there are ten ** people from Datong, Shanxi."

On October 21, the first snow fell in Tianjin Wei.

During this time, there was news from Tianjin Wei that Lord Wang's leg injury was a little recurrent, and he still needed to recuperate in the manor outside the city, the canal and the sea were frozen, the ships were not allowed to pass, and the merchants were busy stocking up.

And many people still wondered, saying that Lord Wang appeared on the street, riding and walking on horseback was nothing unusual, why did it repeat again, but there were still rumors that Lord Wang raised a few beautiful women in the manor outside the city, and they couldn't get out of their bodies, and they were happy all day long, which was the follow-up to seeing the soft sedan car carried in a few days ago.

However, after repeated returns, everyone knew that Lord Wang was fine, and he jointly entrusted Sanjiang Commercial Bank to go to condolence once, so he ignored it.

The snow seems to be from east to west, Tianjin Wei has fallen, Xianghe County, Tongzhou snow in turn, Tongzhou just fluttered snowflakes, there is a group of more than 30 people into Tongzhou.

Every year when it is almost November, all the business travelers gather in Tongzhou, rest and wait here, and in mid-November, merchants from all over the capital will come to Tongzhou to buy New Year's goods.

A team of more than 30 people was not unusual, and this team stayed in an inn outside Tongzhou City, and no one noticed.

This pedestrian shot quite generously, at a glance is a rich and noble family travel, living in the inn, not to mention the house, even the stables are all packaged, do not let the inn's waiters approach, the left and right silver to give more, everyone is happy to be idle.

But if you go in at night, the guy will definitely be surprised, the little guy who follows the master during the day is the master's style in the house, and the master is standing aside.

"Lu Wancai and the others were also overthought by the previous incident, taking into account the overall situation, but the other party killed the door, how can they kill back."

Wang Tong sat on the chair and said with a smile, General Tan was silent on the side for a while, and then said:

"Master, even if this matter has something to do with Uncle Yongsheng, if you sue your majesty, I'm afraid you won't give any explanation, but we have a sin here, the queen mother loves King Lu, no matter whether this matter is true or not, I'm afraid the lord won't get any better."

Wang Tong shook his head with a smile, but his face was quite cold, and he said:

"Of course it's not to sue, they sent people to kill the people of the Department of Security, we can't make a noise for the sake of the situation, but in this situation, their people are killed, and they also have to pinch their noses and admit it, and the official has to compare with them, whose means are ruthless."

"Grandpa Zhang is coming today, the delicious restaurant is all in place, don't make any mistakes!"

"Grandpa Zhang hasn't been here for a while, why are he so interested today."

The small eunuchs on this side of the delicious restaurant are talking about it while they are busy and busy, and the delicious restaurant is now the dining hall of the palace eunuchs and guards, and it is inevitable that there will be some small messes after a long time, and they are cleaning up and down.

As soon as he spoke, someone came over behind him and scolded:

"I'm still chewing my tongue here, wait for our family to lead someone to see, if there is a mistake, you will be deducted from two months' money, and if there are two mistakes, don't think about eating meat!"

Everyone hurriedly bowed their heads and busied, and as soon as the steward left, someone suddenly said:

"I heard that Gonggong Zou was poisoned by the master of ceremonies, and Gonggong Zhang was in a bad mood and said that he wanted to come out for a walk......

Everyone looked back and saw that the steward was not there, and began to whisper again.

The guards guarding the side gate of the palace gate saw the eunuch Zhang Cheng walking slowly, followed by two little eunuchs with their heads down, and the two of them walked with their legs in tow, which was quite strange, but with Zhang Cheng there, no one would care about the people behind, and the head of the guard hurriedly ran over to greet him.

Seeing that Zhang Cheng's expression was not bad, the head of the guard greeted him a few words, and hurriedly got out of the way, according to the rules, he wanted to check the waist card of the eunuch who entered the palace, but the identity and status of Father-in-law Zhang, who would look for this is not interesting, don't say that it is Zhang Cheng, and even the two little eunuchs who followed behind him ignored it.

A few steps out of the palace gate, a general of the forbidden army stepped forward and reported:

"Father-in-law Zhang, this side has been Jingjie once, and the delicious restaurant is guarded by the forbidden army of Ouchi to the north, but to the south is guarded by the Jinyi army on South Street."

Zhang Cheng nodded with a smile and said:

"Our family went out to make such a big battle, so that outsiders saw it, and said that the internal officials are domineering, and you have worked hard, and the day after tomorrow, you will lead your people to Zhenxinglou to eat and drink."

The general listened to the first few words and wondered in his heart, obviously it was ordered by Gonggong Zou, why don't you want to do it, Gonggong Zhang, you are relieved when you hear the back, and he is very happy that he has won this lottery, and hurriedly said with a smile:

"The duty of the little ones to do errands, but it is called the father-in-law like this, it is really tortured and killed!"

Zhang Cheng also patted him on the shoulder, which made the general's bones lighter by three points, and nodded and sent a few steps before returning to the original place to guard.

The big guys in the palace, there are quite a few people who like to come to the delicious restaurant to sit in their spare time, although it is the palace pipe, but this is outside the palace after all, and the atmosphere is quite different.

Zhang Cheng led the two little eunuchs into the delicious restaurant, where the food and tea had already been prepared according to the instructions, but the others were driven out.

The curtain was lowered, and a little eunuch who had been bowing his head sat down with a golden sword, and said angrily:

"Wang Tong can really toss, why should I be so careful in the palace and the delicious hall, I don't know what he is guarding against!"

When the other little eunuch entered the house, he bowed and bowed, and then stood outside the door, and after a while, the outside reported:

"Li Wenyuan, a hundred households in Jinyi Wei on South Street, came to greet Grandpa Zhang."

As he spoke, the cotton curtain was lifted, Li Wenyuan walked in with an entourage, the curtain was lowered, and the entourage behind Li Wenyuan stepped forward and knelt down, and said:

"Minister Wang Tong, knock to see Your Majesty......
