Yang Sichang smiled and raised his hand politely: "Duke Duke."
Wang Chengen and courtiers have always kept a distance, but they are also very familiar with each other. He nodded and said with a smile: "Old Yang Ge."
Yang Sichang glanced around and saw that there was no one, he stepped forward and whispered: "Duke, can you show me what the emperor thinks of Zhou Zhengyun? It's about my war department, so I dare not care."
Wang Chengen still smiled, and said: "Heaven's heart is unpredictable, how can I know if I am an eunuch. I also persuade Mr. Yang to make peace with the court."
Wang Chengen clearly knew that Yang Sichang was the one targeting Zhou Zheng.
Yang Sichang is not surprised, savoring Wang Chengen's words, his expression is slightly condensed: "Zhou Zhengyun, is this important in the emperor's heart?"
Wang Chengen smiled again and said: "I can say it all here, the old man can do it for himself."
After Wang Chengen finished speaking, he bypassed Yang Sichang and walked towards the Palace of Qianqing.
Looking at Wang Chengen's back, Yang Sichang frowned, his eyes gleaming sharply.
He couldn't figure out why the emperor would be so'tolerant' to Zhou Zheng, without asking this level, as if he hadn't heard or saw it at all!
What went wrong
Yang Sichang is very clear about Zhou Zheng's resume, and he also knows that Zhou Qingli, the father of Zhou Zheng, is a veteran of Chongzhen Qiandi, but these are not enough to make the emperor in Qianqing Palace be merciful and shelter to such an extent!
Yang Sichang's face was agitated, his eyes flashed sharply, and he said to himself in a cold voice, "If this is the case, then I can't blame it!"
Before Yang Sichang's voice fell, he flicked his sleeves and strode away.
Yang Sichang's movements are very fast. Before the Ministry of War is off work, there are various movements.
One is the Liaodong air payment case, which was exposed in the Ministry of Defense.
The second is a letter from the former Tianjin Wei’s thousands of households, accusing Zhou Zheng of robbing private property after killing his meritorious service and taking his troops to self-respect.
The third one is the memorial of King Lu of Yanzhou Prefecture. He accused Ma Shiying of reforms in Shandong, especially regarding the'soldier reforms', wantonly training, garrisoning, colluding with courtiers, and suspected of plotting unruly.
These all have tangible evidence and incidents, and they will inevitably be fried when they reach the court.
And another bad news soon reached Zhou Zheng's ears.
Zhang Heyi and Yao Tongshun hurriedly came to Zhou Zheng's room, and said with an angry expression: "My lord, they took Ding Qi away!"
Zhou Zheng sat on the chair, his eyes fiercely indifferent, and he said coldly, "My lord, we really can't wait!"
Yao Tongshun was a little anxious and said, "My lord, Yang Shangshu is so anxious that I'm afraid he won't hesitate anymore. If you use tricks against Ding Qi, adults may have trouble."
Ding Qi is Zhou Zheng’s sister-in-law, Zhou Ding’s younger brother, and Zhou Fang’s brother-in-law. She has always been called Zhou Zheng’s second brother in private. She has followed Zhou Zheng since Zhou Zheng went to Tianjin Wei. It has been seven or eight years. She knows things even more than Yao Tongshun. .
If Ding Qi really said something, it would indeed be enough to send Zhou Zheng to jail.
Not to mention other things, just to say that Ding Qi wants to prove that Zhou's Chamber of Commerce and Zhou's ticket number are Zhou Zheng's property, the court and Chongzhen absolutely cannot tolerate it.
However, Zhou was just in his spare time and sneered: "If he catches you, I will have to negotiate with our Shangshu master, but Ding Qi, don't be afraid, just wait and see."
Zhang Heyi and Yao Tongshun glanced at each other, a little puzzled. Seeing Zhou Zheng's certainty, he didn't speak any more.
At this time, in a utility room in the backyard of the Ministry of War, the doctor Shan Lin was leading a few people around and staring at Ding Qi who was tied to a chair.
Shan Lin was sitting in a chair, playing with the sharp dagger in his hand, with a faint expression, tilted his head, and said casually: "You are a smart person, shouldn't I say more? Tell me something and let your family go. ."
Ding Qi struggled to move and felt better. Then she looked at Shan Linzheng and said, "Heh, Lord Shan, I dare to say, you may not dare to listen."
Shan Lin turned his head to look at him, and said, "If you dare to speak, there is nothing I dare not listen to."
Ding Qi glanced at the people present, stared at Shan Linzheng, and said, "Okay, listen, these are all through my hands and are well documented. Three years in Chongzhen, Tai Kangbo, five thousand taels. In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Cao Huachun 6,000 taels, 600 mu of fertile land. In the fifth year of Chongzhen, the internal supervisor Li Huazhen included, totaling 30,000 taels, shops, houses, and fertile land worth 30,000 taels. In the sixth year of Chongzhen, officials of six cabinets, Thirty thousand taels will be listed each year from now on. In the seven years of Chongzhen, the queen passed her birthday. Half of the birthday gifts were given by me, with a total value of 14 thousand taels. Seventy thousand taels of various expenditures in the eight years of Chongzhen were all given to the palace and outside the palace. Last year it was 90,000, and this year it was 120,000. If you want the list, I can write it to you now. But, if you get it, what can you do? Master Shangshu is now in full swing, so I really dare to make a fuss about it. Come attack my lord?"
Shan Lin's expression changed when he heard half of it. In the end, his eyes flickered gloomily, staring at Ding Qi.
These people are not easy to provoke, let alone too Kang Bo, Queen Zhang, it is these inmates, their words are enough to make foreign ministers frightened, let alone so many people!
The other soldiers also looked at each other and looked panicked.
Shan Lin was quickly calming down and sneered: "You really bribed so many people? I don't believe it!"
Ding Qi calmly said: "I know there are more, too many you can't believe it. Don't waste time with me, don't you see who I am? Our Ding family and Zhou family are one. , If something happens to my second brother, how can I be better? You go tell Master Shang Shu now and let him prepare for the funeral."
Shan Lin was listening to Ding Qi's words, his face suddenly sinking, and said, "What does Zhou Zhengyun want to do!"
Yang Sichang and his people are actually waiting, waiting for Zhou Zheng to fight back, but there has been no movement from Zhou Zheng all the time, which puts a lot of pressure on them. No one thinks that Zhou Zheng is sitting and waiting to die and something is bound to be brewing.
Ding Qi struggled again, and said: "One more thing, the Ministry of Household has already borrowed 800,000 yuan from Zhou's bill number. It will be due in January next year, plus interest, and the total will be 900,000. I guess it is Not yet, the newly appointed Li Shangshu personally went to the ticket number yesterday and wanted to borrow another 300,000."
The newly appointed Hubu Shangshu, Li Shiwen, is a person who strongly opposes the'shimianwangwang'. He believes that the'shimenhangwang' will not be able to do all the work. It will also drain the national treasury for several years. It is an act of drinking poison to quench thirst. He confronted Yang Sichang in the court. Repeated attacks have also restricted Yang Sichang on the issue of money and food.
Shan Linzheng heard the smell from Ding Qi's words, and sneered more and more, saying: "Do you think Li Shiwen can impeach my adult?"
Ding Qi looked calm and said: "Then it depends on the handle. You can ask. It's too late. There is no time for Yang Shangshu to go home and say goodbye."
Shan Linzheng's dagger slammed under Ding Qi's neck, and said coldly: "If you don't want to die, just tell me honestly, what do you mean by it!"
Ding Qi leaned forward and sneered, "Do you dare to kill me? Do you think the money I gave out was for nothing? You little doctor, they will be able to tear your whole family into pieces with just one sentence. Fragments!"
Shan Linzheng's face was indifferent, his eyes were like poisonous snakes, he stared at Ding Qi for a long time, then turned around and said, "Let me take good care of him!"
"Yes!" The soldier responded quickly.
Shan Lin was out of the utility room and walked straight to Yang Sichang's class room.
Yang Sichang is making preparations for leaving Beijing. "Surveying the net on all sides" is his millennium career. Naturally, he has to be fully prepared and not slack in the slightest. (End of this chapter)
