Chen Zilong looked at Qian Qianyi with a gaze, hoping to say "yes" from Qian Qianyi's mouth.

But Qian Qianyi sighed slightly and shook his head and said, "Although Ma Shixiong is indeed having a private meeting with Hong Chengchou, it is impossible for him to be the spy."

Chen Zilong said angrily: "Why are you so sure?"

"If Ma Shiying is a spy, why did Hong Chengchou show up when he had an argument with Song Zhengyu? Although the back door is not as good as the front door, the dispute is too many people and eyes. Is Hong Chengchou not afraid of revealing his private meeting with Ma Shiying? He should hide it, then leave quietly, and then make an appointment with Ma Shiying to meet again."

Chen Zilong sat down slowly.

"Even if Hong Chengchou was the negotiator of the Qing court, he was in the capital of our dynasty. If he really wanted to seize the evidence of his spying on military affairs and colluding with important officials of our dynasty, he would probably not escape the end of being dealt with. Hong Chengchou showed up regardless of exposing himself, and there must be a reason for him to appear. This is actually not difficult to guess. That is, Ma Shiying had a dispute with Song Zhengyu, which can explain why after Ma Shiying stopped pursuing Song Zhengyu, Hong Chengchou turned around and entered the restaurant."

"On the other hand, Ma Shiying was assassinated today. Although Ma Shiying was notorious, he did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty. While our officials avoided him, no one had ever claimed to have him executed. Of course, this is also because Wu Zheng was behind him. Is it necessary for the Qing court to assassinate such a mediocre person? This is obviously unreasonable!"

Chen Zilong understood that Ma Shiying was just a jester, corrupt official, and traitor. The Qing court refused to let him occupy the high position of the Qingtai Dynasty to make mistakes. How could he be assassinated by the dead soldiers lurking in the capital at all costs?

If you really want to kill, it will be Wu Zheng, Qian Sule or others, and it will not be Ma Shiying's turn.

Chen Zilong's mood was extremely complicated, and the pain on his face was unbearable to witness it.

After a while, Chen Zilong gritted his teeth and said, "I want to enter the palace to report to the supervisor."

"No!" Qian Qianyi hurriedly stopped him.

Chen Zilong looked up at Qian Qianyi in a daze, "Why not? Do you really have to wait for him to do something bigger?"

Qian Qianyi took a step closer and whispered: "If the chief minister reports to the supervisor at this time, it would be like making the matter public. Song Zhengyu should really die, but he is the chief minister's right-hand man after all. If this is investigated, it will definitely involve the chief minister."

Chen Zilong stood up and said angrily: "What are you afraid of when you are in a straight manner and sitting straight?"

Qian Qianyi whispered: "But I am ordered by the Chief Supervisor to have a private meeting with Hong Chengchou, and Song Zhengyu is also aware of it."

Chen Zilong fell down on the chair dejectedly, "Well...what should it be based on Mr. Yushan's intention?"

Qian Qianyi said four words word by word - "Kill someone to silence him."

Chen Zilong hesitated a little, "It's not appropriate. Let's not talk about whether Song Zhengyu really surrendered to Qing Dynasty. Even if it is, he doesn't know what he was guilty. Even if he is not dead, he will have to be interrogated and convicted by the government office..."

Qian Qianyi smiled bitterly and shook his head. Mr. Wozi was probably stupid to study and was really not suitable for the position of the prime minister.

"Mr. Wozi, you must be in trouble and will suffer the chaos! If you really want to rely on Song Zhengyu's failure to confess, then what is the difference between plotting against a tiger?"

Seeing that Chen Zilong was still hesitating, Qian Qianyi said: "The chief assistant does not need to personally order this matter. Just say hello to Yingtian Prefecture and ask him to send someone to arrest him with Qian. After that, Qian will complete it for the chief assistant."

Chen Zilong looked at Qian Qianyi in a daze and said, "How can I tell you about this to the prefect Yingtian?"

Qian Qianyi was stunned. Mr. Wozi was really not an ordinary scholar. Can you tell me about this?

You are the chief assistant and spitting spit at will, and countless people say it is copper coins.

Do you need to explain the purpose of transferring people?

As long as Chen Zilong spoke, can Yingtian Prefecture still resist the order?

Qian Qianyi had no choice but to say: "The Prime Minister of Yingtian Prefecture Gong Dingzi and Qian. As long as the Chief Assistant agrees, all the officials can arrange for the Chief Assistant. After the matter is completed, Qian will issue the Chief Assistant to the Ministry of Justice. The Chief Assistant only needs to prove to me that he was ordered by the Chief Assistant to arrest the Qing court spies, so that the Chief Assistant can be removed from this matter."

Chen Zilong understood, but he couldn't make up his mind. Xu Fuyuan and Song Zhengyu were his right-hand man, and they had a deep friendship. Chen Zilong's heart was in pain if he really wanted to make a decision to silence him.

Seeing that Chen Zilong was still hesitating, Qian Qianyi said anxiously: "This matter is urgent and cannot be delayed. The chief minister must make a quick decision."

Chen Zilong finally made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Go and do it."

After saying that, he turned around and went.

Qian Qianyi bowed and turned around and left.

....

Gong Dingzi, the prefect of Yingtian.

Speaking of this person, he is really close to Qian Qianyi, and he is a tough brother.

Gong Dingzi, whose courtesy name is Xiaosheng, was from Hefei, Anhui Province.

In the seventh year of Chongzhen, he was appointed as the magistrate of Qichun County, Hubei Province. In the 12th year of Chongzhen, he served as the chief clerk of the Ministry of War. On the way to Beijing, he met Gu Hengbo, a famous prostitute in Nanjing, and brought him to Beijing, and later took him as a concubine.

Later, because of his contribution to suppressing Zhang Xianzhong's uprising, he was promoted to the military department to serve as a minister.

In the 17th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng captured Beijing. Gong Dingzi fell into a well and committed suicide. After being rescued, he immediately figured it out and assisted Li Zicheng. As a result, he became uncontrollable. The Qing army entered the mission, Li Zicheng abandoned Beijing. Prince Rui Dorgon entered Beijing. Gong Dingzi welcomed surrender and was appointed as a minister. He was promoted to Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, the left governor of the Ministry of Justice, etc.

Gong Dingzi is undoubtedly a representative figure among the literati of this era. At the beginning, he was also fulfilled his ambition to sacrifice his country and implemented it, but once he did not succeed, he subverted his outlook on life and values.

Once such a person takes the step of surrender, he will be more evil than ordinary people.

They have a "sophisticated" saying that they can apply makeup on their surrender behavior, which is even more confusing.

But the question is, how did a person like Gong Dingzi become the prefect of Yingtian of the Qingtai Dynasty?

It's really impossible to blame anyone for this.

The Qingtai Dynasty was actually just a "grassage team". Most of the people in the court were from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

For example, Qian Sule, Zhang Huangyan and others were from Ningbo Prefecture, Zhang Guowei was from Dongyang, and Chen Zilong and others were from Songjiang Prefecture.

After the demise of the Hongguang Dynasty, most of the imperial elites went south to Fujian and Guangdong, and the people who were left behind were basically people who were unable to leave their hometowns.

This is beyond reproach. Even if the hometown is hard to leave and can be kept, it is still the best among people.

However, because of Wu's Northern Expedition, Yingtian Prefecture was restored for more than two months.

This sudden expansion of the ruling territory made officials who had no reserves in the Qingtai Dynasty unable to just call a crowd of people who could not read a lot of people to be officials, right? Then the government orders are really unable to leave the Zhengyang Gate.

Therefore, as long as the officials appointed by the Qing court in Yingtian Prefecture were not exposed, they were basically retained by their original positions.
