In fact, Emperor Tianqi did not expect Zhang Jing to capture Li Ruzhen and Wu Xiang's accomplices today.

In his opinion, this is impossible to accomplish.

Such a big case must have been carefully conspired.

There may be loopholes, but as long as Li Ruzhen and Wu Xiang do not speak out.

Then everything will be in vain.

But the current situation is, do these people who know that they have committed a death sentence really speak?

Even if you open your mouth.

It also takes time to verify it slowly.

only……

Now these two people are arrested.

When you go to verify slowly, those accomplices will probably have run away long ago.

But... Emperor Tianqi never expected that Zhang Jingyi would still give him a big surprise.

The Li family was destroyed today, and it was very sudden and straightforward. It proved that the current trend of the Jinyiwei, or the Jinyiwei ruled by Zhang Jingyi, was prohibited.

Now, if the Qin case is found again, it will be icing on the cake.

At this time, Zhang Jing said: "Li Ruzhen... I'm so kind to say, he's just a waste!"

Zhang Jingyi's words are indeed very rude.

This is a general!

He is the top military officer in the Ming Dynasty at present.

For such an evaluation...

Everyone had nothing to say, just waiting for him to continue the next words.

Zhang Jingyi continued: "I have always been thinking, what strategy can a waste like Li Ruzhen have? If he really has the ability, why have he made so many mistakes in his life?"

"So... I have been thinking about whether someone has manipulated Li Ruzhen, but... who can manipulate Li Ruzhen?"

He continued to say with great emotion: "So, I sent someone to personally ask the Guanning prisoners of Shanhaiguan. These prisoners really provided many clues. Li Ruzhen, a family of aristocratic families, has always been above the top and has a high opinion of himself, but in fact... he is very jealous and has little contact with civil affairs in the Shanhaiguan army."

Not down-to-earth is almost the standard for people like Li Ruzhen.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, some people like this have obtained high positions due to the achievements of their fathers and brothers.

But do you really expect these people to control the army?

Actually…not.

Emperor Tianqi followed Zhang Jingyi's thoughts and suddenly became enlightened.

Everyone has always believed that the soldiers believed Li Ruzhen because Li Ruzhen was the descendant of the general, so everyone was naturally devoted to what he said.

But in fact, this is trapped in some kind of thinking misunderstanding.

How could a noble family quickly control the army?

Why? It really depends on the so-called reputation of father and brother?

If you want to say this, the ancestor of Emperor Tianqi was just Zhu Yuanzhang who started with a bowl and directly conquered the country!

Zhang Jingyi continued: "After a large number of visits, the result was that these rioters trusted Wu Xiang very much. Therefore... I was thinking again that it was not Li Ruzhen's rebellion at all, but Wu Xiang went to find Li Ruzhen and added fuel to the fire. Li Ruzhen was inspired. Such idiots are naturally the easiest to believe others, and they are above the top, and they think they are resentful to the court, so they become this pioneer. But all the masterminds standing behind him are not him at all."

"This is why, in prison, I used all kinds of punishments to Li Ruzhen, and he kept saying that this was Wu Xiang's order. At first, I didn't believe it, and thought it was just Li Ruzhen's words to get rid of the crime. I think... Your Majesty also thinks that way?"

Emperor Aoki nodded.

Even if you are all officials, I’m afraid that this is the same idea.

Wu Xiang was beside him, and he looked out of his mind and said in horror: "Your Majesty, this is wrongful, it is wrongful... How dare I do such a thing? I am just a guerrilla general, Your Majesty... I am indeed guilty, but the Marquis of Xinxian said that I was the main culprit and was slandering people!"

He kept knocking his head while saying that, his head was broken.

Just now, the person who thought Zhang Jingyi was right was suspicious again.

No matter what I said, what Zhang Jingyi said was just a guess.

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I have this conjecture, there must be no evidence. But the wonderful thing is here..."

Zhang Jing said, then said, "After I had this guess, I naturally followed this idea and started looking for evidence. It is precisely because of this that I touched the person behind..."

"The person behind?" Emperor Tianqi was stunned.

Zhang Jing said, "Since Wu Xiang refuses to admit his death, then... I'll ask Your Majesty to allow me to bring an imperial prisoner to the palace. Wu Xiang will know at a glance."

Wu Xiang knelt aside, with a tragic expression, but when he heard some criminals, he couldn't help but stare at Zhang Jingyi. At this time, he felt a little bit like he was not seeing the coffin and not crying: "Don't think... take someone at will..."

Emperor Tianqi ignored Wu Xiang and nodded to Wei Zhongxian.

After Wei Zhongxian understood, he hurriedly asked an eunuch to go out.

Just when all officials felt suspicious.

But I saw a scholar who was not very good-looking, who had been taken to the palace.

This unpretentious scholar looked depressed and covered in bruises. He obviously had suffered a torture before.

When he was thrown into the hall, he said, "What crime did I commit..."

Zhang Jingyi smiled slightly, glanced at the person, and then fell on Wu Xiang, saying, "Wu Xiang, do you recognize this person?"

When Wu Xiang saw this person, his face changed slightly, but then he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Who is this person? I...I don't recognize..."

Zhang Jingyi then said to the unpretentious scholar: "Do you recognize this guerrilla general Wu Xiang?"

The unpretentious scholar looked at Wu Xiang, as if he was dodging something, and quickly looked away and said, "No... I don't recognize it. I am a decent good citizen. What crime did you commit? Why do you take me... I have fame and fortune..."

The ministers looked at the miserable appearance of the scholar, especially his panic, and became suspicious for a moment.

What important thief would this person be?

Zhang Jingyi had just found a scholar and deliberately framed Wu Xiang.

Both of them denied it.

Emperor Aoki couldn't help but wonder.

Zhang Jingyi was still calm and said, "Very good, I think... you don't recognize each other?"

Wu Xiang said miserably: "I have committed a death sentence and I just waited for the death penalty to be killed. Why do I still frame me like this? A real man will die if he dies..."

The scholar became even more panicked: "Xiaosheng was wronged, Xiaosheng was wronged, Xiaosheng was wronged, Xiaosheng had a wrongful injustice... The Jinyiwei suddenly rushed into my mansion and took me down, calling me a thief, beating and scolding me...ah...ahhh..."

He held the wound on his face and began to scream like a pig.

All of a sudden... everyone became solemn.

Zhang Jingyi said, "Very good. Since you don't recognize each other, then... the person comes... will bet the next person... for me!"

Soon, another rushing footsteps came from outside.

Then... a 15 or 16-year-old boy was escorted up.

The young man seemed very panicked and trembling.

As soon as others arrived, Wu Xiang's face changed significantly.

Zhang Jing looked at Wu Xiang and said, "Then, Wu Xiang, what about this person..."

"Father..." As soon as the young man saw Wu Xiang, he hurried forward and said in panic: "Father..."

Wu Xiang's face was suddenly terrifying. He looked like he wanted to recognize each other but did not want to recognize each other, and his face was full of complexity.

Zhang Jingyi held her hands behind her back and watched the scene of the father and son meeting each other.

Of course, there was no emotion at this time, there was only horror.

Zhang Jingyi then said slowly: "This young man, his name is Wu Sangui, and he is Wu Xiang's son..."

Emperor Tianqi suddenly felt it interesting. He knew that Zhang Jingyi would not make this person come here for no reason, so he couldn't help but say, "Is it true that Wu Xiang's plot against him, and he has anything to do with his son?"

Zhang Jingyi immediately replied: "It's a big deal. Your Majesty, please listen to me to continue asking."

As soon as Zhang Jing said, he looked at the scholar: "You said you don't recognize Wu Xiang, right? But... why is this young man named Wu Sangui always in your house?"

The unpretentious scholar trembled, but he quickly reacted and argued: "I...I know Wu Sangui, and I don't have to know his father. Wu Sangui and I... are just... friends."

Zhang Jing laughed: "What a friend, it seems that you won't cry after seeing the coffin."

Zhang Jingyi immediately said, "Your Majesty, the reason why I believe that Wu Xiang is one of the masterminds is actually thinking that since Wu Xiang wants to do such a thing, he will definitely prepare in advance. He and the people behind him... Of course, I know that since you want to do such a big thing, you must think about the possibility of failure. It is important to know that this is a serious crime of treason, how can you be careless? So when I checked, I found out that Wu Xiang had a son named Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui had disappeared a few months ago. At that time, the Wu family told the public that Wu Sangui was riding a horse in the suburbs and never returned. But this fits my guess, that is... Wu Xiang was prepared for this matter. If this matter is done, he naturally must have wealth and honor. His son can also go home openly. But once he fails, he can say that he has disappeared long ago, and at least he can leave a bloodline for himself."

Zhang Jingyi continued: "And his accomplices are obviously very clear... If Wu Xiang fails to do these things, he may implicate others. In order to ensure that Wu Xiang keeps the secrets strictly, he naturally needs to... hold on to Wu Sangui. As long as Wu Sangui is in hand, they will not worry that Wu Xiang will implicate others."

"So... Wu Xiang hopes that Wu Sangui will be lost, and his accomplices also hope that the missing Wu Sangui will be in their hands. If they hit it off, naturally... Wu Sangui is at the hands of these accomplices. So... as long as Wu Sangui is found... he will find accomplices!"
