Chapter 916: True Image
Seeing that the old eunuch suddenly turned his face and injured Wei Gao! The officials were filled with righteous indignation and shouted at Wei Gao: "Lord Wei! Lord Wei! ”
"Take it away!" Zhao Ying shook off his overly powerful arm and turned around with a gloomy face.
The Dongchang fans took out the dozens of officials they caught, as well as more than a dozen high-ranking officials who took the initiative to stand up later, and Wei Gao, who was lying unconscious on the ground.
When the last fan went out, the door of the Tai Hospital was slammed shut, and the rest of the people were also under house arrest!
After Dongchang moved to Beijing, it also built its own edict prison, although the scale is not as good as Jinyiwei's edict prison, but the torture tools and criminal law in the prison are far more than Jinyiwei's tricks...... At least, Jin Yiwei's torture of prisoners is still for the purpose of obtaining confessions, but the torture in Dongchang is clearly for the pleasure of torturing prisoners!
As soon as Wei Gao and others entered the Dongchang Prison, they were warmly received by the Dongchang...... On that day alone, five or six officials died! The rest were also half-dead and d......ying.
Dongchang arrested nearly 1,000 officials who knelt outside the palace gate yesterday and arrested dozens of backbone personnel and tortured them! The news of the house arrest of the rest of the people spread all over the capital in an instant......
The next day, the day when the yamen opened the seal and resumed work, the six ministers almost became the commanders of the light poles. I had no choice but to ask for an order to postpone the opening of the printing until everything was clarified. The entire central court in Beijing came to a standstill......
In this case, the prince had to ignore the suspicion and call Wang Xian to his mansion to discuss.
"Zhongde," Zhu Gaochi said worriedly, "Zhao Ying's behavior, but His Majesty ordered it that day?" "This is what he is most worried about, once his father initiates a ruthless attack, even if he completely destroys the court, he will not hesitate to do so! At this point, Zhu Di and Emperor Taizu are simply carved out of the same mold.
"Your Majesty that day," Wang Xian recalled, shaking his head and saying, "There were no instructions in this regard, but I just ordered the two of us to do our best to solve the case." ”
"Could it be Your Majesty," although he felt that these words hurt Wang Xian a little, the prince couldn't take care of it anymore: "Later, he ordered Gonggong Zhao alone?" ”
"It's unlikely from the point of time," Wang Xian shook his head and said, "He should mobilize people as soon as he goes back and arrest people in the Tai Hospital." If Your Majesty had given any other orders, it would have been ...... before."
"It wasn't possible before." Now it was Zhu Gaochi's turn to shake his head, he thought about it and said, "If it is Zhao Gonggong's own idea, there is still something to be done." ”
"It should be his own idea," Wang Xian thought for a while and said: "But the old eunuch figured out the intention to put it in place, but I am afraid that the emperor will also acquiesce......" He knows very well that the old eunuch is different from himself, he only needs to look at the emperor's face alone, so he can unscrupulously arrest all the officials who make trouble, and vent his evil anger to the emperor without worrying about any consequences.
"Acquiescence is not afraid!" Zhu Gaochi said: "As long as the emperor does not have a clear will, we can overturn the conclusion of Dongchang!" Rescue the ministers! Saying that, he looked at Wang Xian earnestly and said, "Zhongde, it's all up to you!" You must find out the truth! ”
"Your Highness, rest assured," Wang Xian nodded, "Jinyiwei has gone all out to investigate." ”
"Is there any progress?" Zhu Gaochiba looked at Wang Xian and asked.
"Yes, it is indeed arson, and the theory of heavenly fire is nonsense," Wang Xian replied, "but it is certainly not the work of the ministers." Said with some contempt: "First, they don't have that ability, and second, they don't dare to ...... if they are given a hundred dares."
"Either way, we're going to have to get them out!" Zhu Gaochi said in a deep voice: "One more day in Dongchang, several officials will be innocently killed!" ”
"Yes." Wang Xian nodded, although they are both notorious spy agencies, but compared with Dongchang, Jinyiwei is simply civilized law enforcement and at home. Basically, those who enter the Jinyi Guard Prison can still come out with half a life. Those who entered the Dongchang Imperial Prison could only come out sideways......
"Can you find the real arsonist?" Zhu Gaochi asked.
"In the opinion of the minister, it should be the Buddha Mother!" Wang Xian said in a deep voice: "Since they have planned this matter for a long time, they naturally will not be stupid enough to think that they can burn down the palace with just a few rockets." ”
"Yes. Just by looking at the fact that they can evade the search of your heaven and earth net, you know that these people are very good," Zhu Gaochi nodded, suddenly realized something, looked at Wang Xian and said, "You mean, they have other tricks besides releasing rockets?" Is it a combination of tricks that will burn down the three major halls? ”
"Your Highness." Wang Xian nodded and said, "That's what it means." ”
"Be sure to find out what they do! Clear the grievances of the officials! Zhu Gao looked at Wang Xian expectantly and said, "And that Buddha mother, can you catch her too?" ”
"Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Shuntianfu are all arresting her," Wang Xian shook his head and said, "But to be honest, the minister thought that she had taken advantage of the chaos to leave Beijing." ”
"Hey......" Zhu Gaochi said worriedly: "These people have made such a big move, and their intentions must be huge!" It's chilling to think about! ”
"Yes." Wang Xian nodded, he knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have remembered what he saw on the way north.
"We must solve the case as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was worried and stressed again.
"Yes." Wang Xian responded, and when he was about to retreat, he thought about it, then looked at the prince and said, "Your Highness, with all due respect, you seem to be a little different......
"Really?" The prince smiled faintly and replied slowly: "It's just that I have thought it through, although the prince is based on raising virtue, it doesn't mean that Lone should be a turtle with a shrunken head." ”
"Your Highness!" Wang Xian's heart was shocked when he heard this, he knew that the prince's mentality had changed drastically! It seems that the crown prince is clearly aware that as Zhu Di gets older and acts more and more stupid and crazy, if he can't resolutely resist the emperor's chaotic life as a prince, it will bring great disasters to the country and the people.
"This Ming Dynasty has already reached the point where it can't afford to toss!" The prince's expression was still sneering, but his tone was firm and abnormal: "For the country and the people, I have to shoulder my own responsibilities, I was too concerned about my position as the prince before, and I won't be ...... in the future."
"It's just that in this way, I'm afraid I'm going to completely go to the opposite side of the emperor......" Wang Xian's voice trembled.
"It's good to have a clear conscience, as for the result, I don't care anymore......" The prince shook his head and glanced at Wang Xian generously: "Zhongde, this way is lonely, after this incident, you and I will part ways, Lone can't drag you down." ”
"Your Highness!" Wang Xian's blood was excited, and he bowed deeply to the prince, and said in a deep voice: "The minister is willing to be a pawn for His Royal Highness, and he will not regret even if he dies!" ”
"Don't be in a hurry to make a statement, go back and think about it," the prince smiled at him and said softly: "Solve the case first, this is the top priority." ”
"Yes!" Wang Xian solemnly responded......
Wang Xian left the East Palace, and as soon as he returned to the Jinyi Guard Yamen, he was stopped by the ghost hand Zhang who was in charge of the six places, and pulled him mysteriously to the deepest part of the yamen, the location of the six places. The sixth department is the institution responsible for research and development in Jinyiwei, which has many ulterior secrets, and there are often safety accidents such as explosions, so it is arranged in the most secret part of the entire yamen...... Hidden to the point that except for people in six places, no one sets foot in it every day. After all, no one knows when there will be an explosion here, so it's better to stay away.
As soon as he entered the courtyard of the six places, Wang Xian saw the fire flashing, and when he heard a clang, several researchers became charcoal people. He was just about to worry about asking whether it mattered, but those black guys got up from the ground and pounced on Wang Xian. The leader grinned, revealing his white teeth, and his excited words couldn't be said: "Big ...... My lord...... It's done! Extraordinary! ”
Because they were too excited, these guys took Wang Xian's arm and danced. On Wang Xian's white robe, there were immediately more black handprints, and he didn't care, and asked with a smile: "What happened?" ”
"That recipe you gave me to improve gunpowder!" The black guy said loudly to Wang Xian.
"Really?!" Wang Xian was also excited when he heard it: "It's really done?!" ”
"Yes! The materials used are two percent of the original, but the power is more than twice as great! The guy pointed to himself and said triumphantly. It seems that this body of black charcoal is the best proof. "Your Excellency is amazing!"
"Yes, sir!" A few black guys nodded like garlic and said, "You know too much!" ”
"Where, where!" Wang Xian was modest on the surface, and the corners of his mouth were almost to the root of his ears. "It's all your credit!"
"Ahem!" Ghost hands really can't stand it, and they praise each other, and I don't know when it will be. I had to cough twice to remind Wang Xian: "My lord, my subordinates invited you over, there is another important matter." ”
"Okay." Wang Xian was reluctant to enter the house with the ghost hand, and did not forget to turn around and tell the guys: "When I come out, let's have a good chat!" ”
When he entered the room, the smile on Wang Xian's face retracted, because he saw the pile of black things on the table. He ordered people to take samples from all corners of the ruins of the three major halls and let them be identified in six places. Although there is no advanced identification technology at this time, with the level of six places, some clues should be seen.
Zhou Yong closed the door, Wang Xian glanced at Ghost Zhang, Ghost Zhangzhang nodded, picked up a blank piece of paper from the table, and slowly sent it to Wang Xian. Wang Xian looked at it and saw that there was some black and yellow powder on the paper. Ghost Hand Zhang said softly, "This is sifted out of the cracks in the ruins. ”
"My lord, please look," Zhou Yong carefully poured the powder on the paper into a porcelain bowl, and lit the candle under the porcelain bowl. The short and blazing flame shook the eyes of Wang Xian and the others! My heart shook even more! Because this flame is exactly the same as the heavenly fire that rises from the three major halls!
