Yang Zhenzhong listened to Old Lady Nie's words, but he smiled slightly and said, "Compared with Lord Nie, Yang is indeed a junior. At that time, the adults were high-ranking officials such as the servants of the ministry, although they later became officials, but the court cared about the old ministers, and would send people to visit them from time to time. It's just that I'm afraid of disturbing the adults, so I didn't let the adults know. Yang went to Beijing from Huguang today, and at the beginning he worked under Lord Lu Bing, serving as a hundred households of Jinyi Wei. I have seen a lot of records about Lord Nie's words and deeds, and I know that Lord Nie is a great person, so I can keep it in mind. ”

Old Lady Nie's eyelids trembled twice, and said, "I can't imagine that such a criminal as Lao Yu would be so careful with Master Lao Yang, how can he be so lucky?"

Yang Zhenzhong said: "Lord Nie was too sharp back then, and as a servant of the ministry, he personally wrote **** and made several secret books. I heard that at that time, the officials from the imperial court to the border were driven by Lord Nie. is so powerful, I am afraid that among the ministers before the first emperor, there are few people who can match Lord Nie. ”

Huang Chong, Yin Zhutou, and Master Feng took a group of people to carry the corpses in the courtyard, but the three of them were busy with their ears and listened to Yang Zhenzhong talking to Old Lady Nie. Yin Zhutou and Master Feng have no relationship with Old Lady Nie, and they don't know the origin of this old man. Huang Chong knew that Old Lady Nie had also been an official in the capital back then, but later he didn't know what happened, so he had to resign and go into hiding, and return to Fengmen Village. At this time, listening to Yang Zhenzhong's words, he didn't expect that Old Lady Nie would become such a high-ranking official as the servant of the ministry. It must be known that the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the promotion, appointment and dismissal of officials in the world, and the evaluation and punishment are the most high-powered. Listening to the meaning of Yang Zhenzhong's words, the old lady Nie used the identity of the servant of the ministry to secretly record the private affairs and scandals of the court and officials in various places, so as to coerce the officials to do things for him. This scheming is really powerful. It's just that with the ruthlessness and viciousness of Old Lady Nie, I don't know why I was defeated later, and I was forced to resign and go into hiding. But he committed such a serious crime, and he was still able to get out of the way, which shows that Old Lady Nie is powerful, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary officials.

Old lady Nie narrowed her eyes and said in a deep voice: "Lord Yang's words are too old. The old man was dedicated to doing things for the imperial court, and he had never been selfish. Writing **** is just to have a basis when evaluating the court officials. It's hateful that the villain made a hindrance from it, and even slandered the old man for blackmailing hundreds of officials for personal gain, and wanted to coerce officials to do things. The Lord of the Ministry of Officials did not distinguish between right and wrong, and was provoked by the villain, and made an excerpt to the first emperor, and convicted the old man of thirteen major sins, and wanted to put the old man to death. Some of the imperial histories of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were provoked by villains, and some were heard, and they wrote and impeached the old decay. Lord Yang might as well think about it, if the old man can really blackmail the court officials with ****, how can he be willing to be impeached by so many people? It's just that the old decay was too exposed and offended his colleagues, so he was attacked by those small crowds. ”

Yang Zhenzhong put his hands behind his back, watched Old Lady Nie talk eloquently, the corners of his mouth moved, revealing a sneer, and said, "But Yang Mou later saw several booklets in the Jinyiwei archives that recorded the events of the year. According to the news inquired by Jinyiwei, Lord Nie hid ****, and really asked a few court officials to do a few big things for you. It's just that later Master Nie didn't know if he was dizzy, and he actually provoked Qian Ning and Jiang Bin. As a result, one night, Lord Nie's house caught fire, burning many people to death. And one of Lord Nie's favorite concubines mysteriously disappeared in this fire. The impeachment of Lord Nie by several imperial historians of the Imperial Court began with this strange fire. At first, he just accused Lord Nie of the fire in his house, and he had a dispute with the people and refused to compensate the people for the silver, and later someone revealed that the adults borrowed **** and manipulated the officials to do things for you, making things bigger and bigger. According to the meaning of Qian Ning, Jiang Bin and others, they originally wanted to punish the adults in a canonical manner, behead them for public display, and connect the nine clans. However, with the power of Qian and Jiang, in the end, they failed to send the adult to the Jinyi Wei Imperial Prison, but only let the adult cause trouble. Lord Nie can be so lucky, it can be said that it is not easy, as far as Yang knows, offended Qian Ning and Jiang Bin, and those who can retreat with their whole body are only adults in the Zhengde Dynasty. ”

Li Qiufeng stood in the shadows, listening to Yang Zhenzhong talking to the old lady Nie, and secretly thought in his heart that the old guy surnamed Nie used the identity of the servant of the ministry to collect the scandals of hundreds of officials, so as to blackmail the officials to do things for him. Yang Zhenzhong said that this old guy had done a few big things, and naturally it was not just a dispute with the Xu family. Because compared with the major events of the imperial court, these grievances are not a great thing. In addition to dealing with the Nie family, the old guy also wants to call for wind and rain in the officialdom. Qian Ning and Jiang Bin were the most powerful ministers of the Zhengde Dynasty. The old guy attacked Qian and Jiang, naturally to seize the power of the imperial court. It's just that he was defeated in the end and had to go into seclusion. However, as Yang Zhenzhong said, the political enemies that Qian Ning and Jiang Bin wanted to get rid of have never missed. This old guy was able to leave the capital safely and return to Fengmen Village, but I am afraid that it was his connections in the officialdom and the private scandal of the officials in his hands that played a role. The old guy was forced to do something, and he must be unwilling. If he destroys the Xu family, the next step must be for the children of the Nie family to re-enter the officialdom, and his ambition is not small. If you give this old guy power, you have to mess up the world.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he heard Old Lady Nie say: "Lord Yang, are you bent on dying of old age?"

Yang Zhenzhong didn't answer immediately, he turned his head to look around, but saw that Huang Chong, Yin Zhutou, and Master Feng had already moved most of the corpses in the courtyard out of the courtyard with tolerance. Yang Zhenzhong said to Huang Chong: "Lord Huang, you take people outside the temple to dispose of the corpse, and then send people to patrol the whole city. ”

Huang Chong listened to Yang Zhenzhong and Old Lady Nie talking, both of them had a sharp edge hidden in their words, and they were afraid that they would turn their faces at any time. At this time, Huang Chong was already determined to get rid of his relationship with the Nie family, and he wished to leave Mrs. Nie's family and Ji Ding's middle class as far away as possible. At this time, listening to Yang Zhenzhong's instructions, he hurriedly agreed, and was about to leave with Yin Zhutou, Master Feng and others, when he suddenly stopped again, turned his head and said to Huang Xu who was standing on the stone steps: "Xu'er, you go back to the county government with your father." ”

Huang Xu glanced at Li Qiufeng who was standing in the shadow under the stone steps, and was about to shake his head to refuse, but saw Li Qiufeng give him a look and motioned for her to leave with Huang Chong. Huang Xu was stunned, and naturally couldn't say that he wanted to accompany Li Qiufeng at this time, so he had to nod, turned his head and said to Yuan Jue: "The master will also go with me." ”

Yuan Jue saw that Jinyiwei came to help, and it was no longer necessary for him to stay in the City God Temple with Qunni, so he nodded, and followed Huang Xu down the stone steps until he reached Huang Chong's side. Huang Chong confessed to the epicenter of the sun again, and then led everyone out of the City God Temple.

Yang Zhenzhong glanced at the right side of the courtyard and said to Xu Chengzong, who was standing far away under the wall, "Mr. Xu, please come and talk." ”

Xu Chengzong saw that Yang Zhenzhong beckoned him, although he was frightened, he had to walk over slowly.

At this time, the sound of crying in the main hall gradually stopped, and then only the sound of footsteps was heard, and after a while, I saw Daoist Min walking out with the disciples of the Tianshan Sect. One of the Taoist priests was carrying Yun Zhongzi on his back, and several other Taoist priests were carrying their fellow disciples who had been killed in battle and wounded, with sad expressions on their faces.

Ji Dingzhong saw that there were tears on Qundao's face, and was about to ask, when Daoist Min said in a trembling voice: "Friends, the family teacher has been seriously injured, and Fang Cai, Fang Cai has ......passed away."

When Daoist Min said this, he couldn't say any more, choked up and shed tears. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, secretly thinking that Yun Zhongzi had taken refuge in the Japanese and became a big traitor. At this time, it was a good thing for the Tianshan faction to be seriously injured and killed. Otherwise, when Jinyiwei arrives, he will inevitably capture Yun Zhongzi. He can't hide what he did as a traitor, and Daoist Min and others are bound to fall into a dilemma. Since Yun Zhongzi was killed, all the guilt will naturally disappear, and it will not harm the disciples of the Tianshan Sect.

It's just that Li Qiufeng, Ji Ding, and others all thought in their hearts that although Yun Zhongzi was dead, Jinyiwei had already controlled the City God Temple, and I didn't know if they would let these Taoist priests leave from Tianshan.
