As soon as Sui Zhou stepped into this official office, he saw Tang Fan smiling sweetly at him.

Suizhou: "..."

Tang Fan got up and greeted him: "Guangchuan, I have something to ask you to do for me. I heard that Beizhen Fusi has a history file, right?"

Suizhou: "Not bad."

Tang Fan: "Can you lend me a read?"

Suizhou nodded, and said again: "The last time the East Factory caught fire was a problem."

Tang Fan was refreshed: "How do you say it?"

Suizhou: "The leader on duty that day was called Meng Qishan, who was assigned by Jinyiwei. His family has been a military household for generations, and his father and grandfather used to serve as errands under the predecessor Ying Chengbo."

Although the East Factory was run by eunuchs, the people under it were not necessarily all eunuchs, and many were seconded from Jinyiwei, so it was more convenient for Suizhou to find out.

Tang Fan pondered: "Yingcheng uncle, Yingcheng uncle Sun?"

His eyes lit up suddenly.

Suizhou nodded.

Tang Fan couldn't wait for a while, grabbed his sleeves and walked out: "Take me to see the file of the first year of Chenghua, Beizhen Fusi, I have some ideas!"

The files of the Beizhen Fusi are indeed much more complete than those of the Shuntian Mansion. This is the advantage of the spy department. Many of the files that the Shuntian Mansion brought in one stroke can still be seen in the Beizhen Fusi. The complete cause and effect and some unknown secrets. pungent.

But at this moment, Tang Fan naturally didn't have the heart to explore the secrets of gossip that had nothing to do with this case. He directly found the dossier of the first year of Chenghua, then took it out and read it, and told Suizhou about his finding of Feng's house.

Suizhou: "Do you suspect that the Feng family is also related to Ying Chengbo?"

Tang Fan nodded: "I have this idea, but we still need to find evidence, otherwise it will be very difficult for us to convict him based on the fire in the East Factory!"

Sui Zhou didn't talk nonsense, he just lowered his head and picked up a file and began to read it.

Tang Fan didn't sleep all night, he was very tired at first, but because of Suizhou's arrival, there was another important clue, and now he is in good spirits.

In fact, the emperor had already ascended the throne one year before the first year of Chenghua, but the old title of the emperor was still used at that time, and the official change to the Yuan would not be possible until after the new year, but in that year, a lot of things still happened. .

After the change of Tumubao, the vitality of the imperial court was severely damaged, and the Beijing army was almost wiped out, and there were no natural disasters. Many accumulated malpractices finally broke out. In that year alone, there were at least four local rebellions, although they were all extinguished in the end. But it still makes the court toil the people and waste money. Not only that, the White Lotus Sect also took the opportunity to create chaos, confuse the villagers, and fight against the court in the name of gods...

So that year's dossier was destined to be thick enough to make the two of them look at each other for a long time.

In the first month of the first year of Chenghua, the Yaomin Hou Dagou of Datangxia led a rebellion, and successively...

No, not this one.

He continued to look down.

In March of the first year of Chenghua, Sichuan Shandu was in charge of the rebellion of the Miao people, occupying Jiang'an and Hejiang counties, and ordered Li Jin, the uncle of Xiangcheng, to conquer the barbarians, and the eunuch Liu Heng to supervise the army, until the middle of June...

Not this one either.

In May of the first year of Chenghua, Zhao Duo pretended to be the king of Zhao...

Not this one either.

In March of the first year of Chenghua, Liu Tong, Shilong, and Feng Zilong, the refugees from Jingxiang, gathered a mob, pretending to be the founder of a country, with hundreds of thousands of people, attacked Hanzhong, and won a complete victory.

Tang Fan's eyes froze, and his fingers on the file stopped suddenly.

"Guangchuan, come and see this!"

Suizhou took it, his eyes swept over the place pointed out by Tang Fan. "Feng Zilong?"

Tang Fan: "Exactly, your Beizhen Fusi may find out the relationship between Feng Zilong and the Feng family?"

Suizhou nodded: "Yes, chaotic thieves like Feng Zilong usually have a record of execution."

He quickly found a copy: "Yes. Feng Zilong was a member of Jingxiang. In the first year of Chenghua, he had just accompanied the rebellion and had not been caught by the court. At that time, the court ordered Liu Tong and Shi Long to kill the chicken and warn the monkey. , Feng Zilong, three men from all the clans were arrested and exiled, in order to coerce the thieves to surrender. But it happened that the Yellow River in Henan was flooding, and officials in Henan petitioned the court to send someone to build the embankment, and the Feng family happened to be in that group."

Tang Fan: "What is the specific location?"

Suizhou said every word: "Henan Weihui House!"

Tang Fan was shocked: "The missing pharmacist in Huichuntang earlier is also the birthplace of Weihui Mansion in Henan!"

Suizhou: "More than that, the place where the predecessor Ying Chengbo was stationed was in Henan."

Tang Fan sighed softly: "In this way, everything is connected. We guessed right before, there are two groups of people who killed Zheng Cheng, one is Hui Niang and Zheng Zhi, the other is , I think it is Feng Qingzi, the envoy of Zheng Sun's family. Madam Hui and the others may not know what Zheng Sun is doing, but Zheng Sun knows about Madam Hui and their movements, so it is inevitable that the pharmacy clerk will help."

Suizhou said: "There are two less people on the tablet of the Feng family, one is Feng Qingzi, and the other should be the man who ranks third. Judging from Feng Qingzi's actions, the man should be still alive, and he has been treated by Ying Chengbo. Therefore, Feng Qingzi will help Zheng Sun to kill, and she will not hesitate to commit suicide to protect Zheng Sun after the defeat, because she knows that her younger brother will be taken care of, but if she confesses Zheng Sun, it will be equally difficult for herself. Not to mention escaping to death, Zheng Sun will take revenge on her younger brother."

It was rare for him to say so much in one breath, but the expression on his face did not change. Tang Fan wanted to laugh a little, but he held back and nodded seriously: "Yes, from the time point of view, it should be Madam Hui and the others who poisoned them. First, but Zheng Sun may feel that the effect is too slow, so he secretly pushed it again. But these are still speculations. If we can find Feng Qingzi's younger brother, or that guy, it will be a proof for us. idea."

Sui Zhou frowned: "The pharmacist should not be able to find it, such an irrelevant person, I am afraid that the Sun family has already killed him, but it is Feng Qingzi's younger brother, you can still look for it, in order to hold her hostage, Zheng Sun will definitely She will put her brother in a place where she can see her and can make Feng Qingzi feel at ease."

Tang Fan said: "Now you can hide the news of Feng Qingzi's death first, and only let outsiders know that people are here in Beizhen Fusi, and then stare at the people in the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion. If Feng Qingzi is not there, some people will definitely worry that she says something that shouldn't be said. If you do, you will be exposed."

Sui Zhou snorted, no nonsense, and immediately got up and went out and ordered his subordinates to do things.

Jinyiwei and Dongchang are pervasive, and secretly arrange personnel throughout the capital to monitor hundreds of officials, so that when the emperor needs it, he can report to him at any time. This is also an old rule handed down from the ancestors.

When he turned back, he saw that Tang Fan had already fallen asleep on the table.

Tang Fan didn't sleep all night, he just barely lifted his spirits to check the files, but now he relaxes and falls asleep immediately,

Sui Zhou originally wanted to ask him about the case, but seeing Tang Fan like this, it would be better to pat him awake, so he sat down next to him and rearranged the messy files that the two of them had turned over just now.

He took the file and walked to the cabinet, his eyes inadvertently swept across Tang Fan's face, the light came in from the outside, and spread warmly on him, even the subtleties were exposed, which made his complexion jade-like and flawless. .

I don't usually think that, but now I look at it at random with the light and angle, and it's not difficult to find that Tang Fan's eyelashes are long and thick, and they are slightly curled, but the moment is a little indigo, and at a glance, I know that I didn't get enough sleep last night.

After staring for a moment, Sui Zhou looked away, put the file back in its original position, and locked it.
