Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Six: Surfaced
But... Emperor Apocalypse finds it incredible.
Because Zhang Jing clearly reported that Mr. Lushan did not have much to do with Yan Shenggong.
If there was really a connection, Zhang Jing would have been making a big fuss in the morning and was still waiting to collect so many sins for Yan Shenggong?
After all...rebellion is enough for this Yan Shenggong to shoot a hundred times.
Since that's the case, then... what does killing Yan Shenggong have to do with Mr. Lushan?
So Emperor Tianqi stared at Zhang Jingyi and said, "You continue talking."
Zhang Jing said: "This man named Mr. Lushan... is definitely not a good-looking lamp... Your Majesty thought about it. He colluded with Liao generals, colluded with Yan Shenggong's son-in-law, and found a way to affect the Zhang family of the relative of the foreign relative. There were several people in the court who colluded with him, and so far, he knew nothing. What's terrible is not just that...but this Mr. Lushan has never left any trace."
"Your Majesty, this person has made such a big deal, but in fact... it is just behind the scenes, but it seems that it does not exist in the world at all. So... I infer that this person is extremely wise. The second thing is..."
Emperor Tianqi glared at him and said, "Don't keep it a secret."
Zhang Jingyi said, "The second is that this person must have a huge background, so that he can win the trust of anyone he contacts."
Emperor Aoki nodded.
This is the truth.
Some people rely on face scanning when they go out. When everyone knows that this person is a powerful person, they will only be willing to do such a fatal thing with him when they come into contact with people of all kinds.
Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but become curious, so he stared at Zhang Jingyi tightly and said, "In this way, then... who is this person...?"
"I don't know." Zhang Jing sighed.
Emperor Tianqi said: "Then the Qing family just now..."
"Actually, I am very worried." Zhang Jingyi said seriously: "It is precisely because this person has a deep background and judging from his style of conduct, that... I am worried that His Majesty will return to the capital safely and see through the treacherous plan. With this person's prudence, he will immediately begin to hide, or even fly away, and since then... he will be gone without a trace."
Emperor Tianqi nodded, and Zhang Jingyi's judgment was indeed correct. This man acted meticulously and contacted many people, but later he found that there was no trace of it. Then this man's caution was obvious.
Now that things have been exposed, with such a cautious attitude, this person will disappear immediately, which is reasonable.
Zhang Jingyi continued: "But once this man flew away, the clue would be completely cut off. Your Majesty... colluded with Liao generals and almost killed Your Majesty, and even... all kinds of backlash, now looking back, it can't help but make people feel scared. If Your Majesty had not been blessed with the same heaven, the outcome would not be known."
"If such a person is not found out and his background is not found out, it will sooner or later become a confusing problem for my Ming Dynasty. It is precisely because of this that I have decisively killed Yan Shenggong."
Emperor Tianqi was like a curious baby at this time, sitting upright at Zhang Jingyi: "Why is this?"
"It's like fishing. The fish is about to escape. What you have to do at this time is to throw out a larger bait, so that the other party can take advantage of it. I think... Mr. Lushan is ready to erase all the traces and be ready to escape unstoppably. But at this moment, what would he do if he learned that Lao Chen killed the whole family of Yan Shenggong?"
Emperor Tianqi's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but say, "It's amazing, he will definitely feel... there is still a chance."
"Of course... this person has been thinking about killing Your Majesty and Me. At this time, a huge opportunity suddenly came in front of him. How could he let it go? So I expected that this person was cautious, but he also hated Your Majesty and Me at the same time. Once he had the chance, he would definitely be willing to take the risk and continue to operate in the capital."
Emperor Tianqi was enlightened and nodded, "Yes, the death of Yan Shenggong will inevitably cause huge controversy and turmoil. In his opinion, perhaps this is another new opportunity. So... how should we hold this person?"
Zhang Jing smiled and said, "It would be easy to stay in the capital. First of all... Since he can't stand the loneliness, he must move, and as long as he moves, there will be clues. In addition... he will definitely not miss this opportunity to watch the show... So... I have set up a net of heaven and earth, and I think it will be closed soon."
Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "This man is really doing everything he can to kill me and the Qing family. Such a person is really terrible... If he can hold this person, I want to see who this person is and why he is like this. I want to know more about how deep his background is! To take this person down as soon as possible, these people are really hateful. Why are there so many rebels and thieves in the Ming Dynasty, especially when I come to me..."
Zhang Jing thought to himself, several emperors of the Ming Dynasty died inexplicably, what are you guessing it for?
You know, Emperor Jiajing is so scared that he didn't even dare to take medicine in the palace!
What's more, haven't you even copied the homes of so many people?
No, the side effects are coming out.
Of course... Zhang Jingyi did not point it out and just said, "I know it is of great importance, so I will do my best."
Emperor Tianqi was very confident about Zhang Jingyi. Since Zhang Jingyi tried his best, it means that the matter was already in sight.
Zhang Jingyi immediately said goodbye.
After leaving the palace gate, Zhang Jing thought to himself that although the killing of Yan Shenggong was over, I am afraid that many people would hate him to the core.
When he was reading history, he always felt that many famous officials in the Records of the Grand Historian promoted reforms, and most of them did not have a good ending. They barely had a few successful ones, and eventually suffered the end of settlement after the autumn.
These people who promote reform are actually very cautious and cautious, and try their best to take care of some of the old and expensive interests, but even so, they still cannot end well.
Now... he only realized how difficult it was to seize food from a group of natural winners of life.
However... Zhang Jingyi had no choice. If he had not been a human being for two lifetimes and had no idea of the direction of history, he might have been able to live comfortably and wait for death. But today... he has no choice. Even if the Ming Dynasty did not perish as Jiannu, he would perish as a bandit... Zhang Jingyi may not care whether the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, but he cared about himself and the Emperor Tianqi who treated him sincerely.
Since that's the case, it seems that we can only go all the way to the dark.
Those old nobles are cruel, so he will be even more cruel than them.
If their fists are hard, then he will be harder than them.
After returning to the Qianhu Office, Zhang Jingyi had just finished sitting, and immediately saw several military officers of the Jinyiwei, walking in.
The leaders were Wang Cheng, the other Liu Wenxiu Ren and others.
They reported one by one. Zhang Jingyi was almost talking about it now. He slowly picked up the teacup, then took a sip of the tea before looking up at Wang Cheng and said, "Mr. Lushan, do you have any eyebrows now?"
"Checked." Wang Cheng said solemnly: "Last night, many people walked towards Chen Yan's house and were discussing how to deal with Your Highness. Seven of them, maybe Mr. Lushan. After that... they conducted some investigations and secretly visited. Now, there are two people who are suspected... These two people... have already started tracking."
"In addition... they have also started to touch their background... but Your Highness... Why are you so sure that Mr. Lushan will definitely be among the guests Chen Yan last night?"
Zhang Jing smiled and said, "It's very simple, because this person is too cautious."
Wang Cheng was stunned and said in confusion: "If you are cautious, wouldn't you even better not to go?"
Zhang Jing shook her head and said, "You don't know this. A cautious person... has another characteristic, that is, he is unwilling to truly believe in others. Such a big thing will determine my life and death today. How can he be willing to deal with others? He will definitely go to Chen Yan's house in person to understand how these people plan to deal with me, otherwise, how can he feel at ease?"
"Besides, there were so many guests at that time, this person must be inconspicuous among the crowd. He had already expected that I was overwhelmed by the killing of Yan Shenggong and would not be concerned about him. Look, since there is no risk at all, and you can understand the truth, why not do it?"
After hearing this, Wang Cheng nodded and said, "No, I'll go too if I'm going to do it."
Zhang Jingyi asked at this time: "Why are these two people the biggest suspicion?"
So Wang Cheng said: "One of them is Deng Wen. Deng Wen... is not an official, but he likes to walk around and make friends with others. He lives in a guild hall. He loves to date others on weekdays. Just a few days ago, just after His Majesty returned to the capital, he suddenly packed his bags and said he wanted to return to his hometown, but he didn't leave for a long time."
Zhang Jing narrowed her eyes and nodded secretly: "Where is one more person?"
Wang Cheng then said again: "There is another person named Jiang Shengxian. This person lives in a quiet place. Logically speaking, he will not attend such a gathering. He has no official status. He heard that he was a juren in the past, but after he passed the juren, he did not continue the imperial examination. He was like a vain cloud and a wild crane, and he did not like to interact with others. But this time..."
"You mean, if something goes wrong, it will be a monster?" Zhang Jing smiled.
Wang Cheng nodded.
Zhang Jing let out a sigh and said, "Don't check these two people too tightly, and I guess the identity they used may not be true, and it may just be a forgery of an identity. In short, don't alert the snake for the time being, but..."
"People still have to be careful. All the people around them who have dealt with each other must find out clearly... I don't listen to your suspicion. What I want is real evidence. If you catch the wrong person or miss something, then... we will not be able to get out of Taiwan."
