Yang Sichang smiled and stepped forward, raised his hand politely and said: Eunuch Wang.

Wang Chengen has always kept a distance from the court officials, but he is also very familiar with him. He nodded and smiled and said: Master Yang.

Yang Sichang glanced around and saw that there was no one, so he stepped forward and whispered: Eunuch Wang, can you tell me the truth? What does the emperor think of Zhou Zhengyun? It is related to our Ministry of War, so he dare not be careless.

Wang Chengen still smiled and said: Heaven's heart is unpredictable, how can I, a eunuch, know? I also advised Mr. Yang, that the court should be harmonious.

Wang Chengen obviously knew that Yang Sichang was targeting Zhou Zheng.

Yang Sichang was not surprised. He savored Wang Chengen's words and said with a slightly condensed expression: Zhou Zhengyun, is it so important in the emperor's heart?

Wang Chengen smiled again and said: I have said this, so the master of the Pavilion wants to do it himself.

After Wang Chengen finished speaking, he bypassed Yang Sichang and walked towards the Ganqing Palace.

Yang Sichang looked at Wang Chengen's back, frowned, and his eyes flashed with sharp light.

He couldn't understand why the emperor was so "tolerant" to Zhou Zheng. He didn't ask for this level, as if he hadn't heard it at all, and saw it!

What went wrong?

Yang Sichang was very clear about Zhou Zheng's resume and knew that Zhou Zheng's father Zhou Qingli was an old minister of Chongzhen's secret residence, but these were not enough to make the emperor in the Ganqing Palace show mercy and protect him to this extent!

Yang Sichang's face horns swayed, his eyes flashed sharply, and he said coldly: Since that's the case, I can't blame me!

Before Yang Sichang's voice fell, he swayed his sleeves and left with great strides.

Yang Sichang's movements were very fast. Before the Ministry of War had gotten off work, he had various movements.

One is the empty salary case in Liaodong, which was exposed in the Ministry of War.

The second one is that Qianhu, the former Tianjin Wei, wrote a letter to accuse Zhou Zheng of killing meritorious deeds, robbing private property, and taking his own troops.

The third is the memorial of King Lu of Yanzhou Prefecture. He accused Ma Shiying of reform in Shandong, especially about the "military reform", which was arbitrarily trained troops, stationed troops, and colluded with court officials, and suspected of being ill-intentioned.

These have tangible evidence and events, and when they are passed to the court, they will inevitably be in a bad mood.

Another bad news soon reached Zhou Zheng's ears.

Zhang Heyi and Yao Tongshun hurriedly came to Zhou Zheng's class room and said with an angry look on his face: Sir, they have captured Ding Qi!

Zhou Zheng sat on the chair, his eyes suddenly turned cold and said coldly: We sir, we really can't wait!

Yao Tongshun was a little anxious and said: Sir, Yang Shangshu is so anxious, I am afraid he will no longer worry. If he uses means to Ding Qi, trouble may be inevitable.

Ding Qi is the younger brother of Zhou Ding, the eldest sister-in-law of Zhou Zheng, and is Zhou Fang's younger brother. She has been calling Zhou Zheng the second brother in private. She has been following Zhou Zheng since Zhou Zheng went to Tianjin Wei. It has been seven or eight years since Zhou Zheng went to Tianjin Wei, and she even knows something that even surpassed Yao Tongshun.

If Ding Qi really said something, it would be enough to send Zhou Zheng to prison.

Not to mention anything else, just Ding Qi wants to prove that the Zhou Chamber of Commerce and the Zhou Chamber of Commerce were Zhou Zheng's industries, and the imperial court and Chongzhen would definitely not tolerate it.

However, Zhou Zhengyixia was fine and sneered: If he arrests you, I have to go to negotiate with us, Lord Shangshu, in person, but Ding Qi, don’t be afraid, wait and see.

Zhang Heyi and Yao Tongshun looked at each other, a little confused. Seeing that Zhou Zheng was so confident, he didn't say anything again.

At this time, in a custody room in the backyard of the Ministry of War, doctor Shan Lin was taking several people around Ding Qi who was tied to a chair.

Shan Lin was sitting on the chair, playing with the sharp dagger in his hand, with a faint expression, tilted his head, and said casually: You are a smart person, so I don’t need to say more, right? Say something and let your whole family go.

Ding Qi struggled and moved, feeling a little better, then he looked at Shan Lin and said: Hey, Lord Shan, I dare to say, you may not dare to listen.

Shan Lin turned to look at him and said: If you dare to say it, 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 passed by my hands, and are well-documented. In the third year of Chongzhen, Taikangbo, 5,000 taels. In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Cao Huachun, 6,000 taels and 600 mu of fertile land. In the fifth year of Chongzhen, Li Huazhen, the internal supervisor, was included, with a total of 30,000 taels. In the sixth year of Chongzhen, officials from the six ministries of the cabinet were 30,000 taels, and they will be listed every year. In the seventh year of Chongzhen, the empress celebrated her birthday, and half of the birthday gifts were paid by me, with a total value of 14,000 taels. In the eighth year of Chongzhen, all the expenses were given to people inside and outside the palace. Last year was 90,000, and this year was 120,000. If you want a list, I can write it to you now. But what can you do? Lord Shangshu is at its peak now, and he really dares to use these as an article to attack my master?

Shan Lin's face changed when he heard it. At the end, his eyes flashed in the darkness and he stared at Ding Qi.

None of these people is easy to mess with. Not to mention Taikangbo and Queen Zhang, just these internal supervisors, their words are enough to make foreign ministers frightened, let alone so many people!

The other soldiers also looked panicked when they heard this.

Shan Linzheng quickly calmed down and sneered: You have really bribed so many people? I don’t believe it!

Ding Qi was calm and said: I know there are more, so many that you can't believe it. Don't waste time with me. Don't you see who I am? Our Ding family and the Zhou family are one. If something happens to my second brother, can I be better? You can tell Lord Shangshu now and let him prepare for his funeral.

Shan Lin was listening to Ding Qi's words, and his face suddenly became dark and said: What does Zhou Zhengyun want to do!

Yang Sichang and his people were actually waiting for Zhou Zheng to fight back, but Zhou Zheng had no movement for a long time, which put a lot of pressure on them. No one would think that Zhou Zheng was waiting to die, and something must be brewing.

Ding Qi struggled for a while and said: Let me tell you another thing. The Ministry of Revenue has already borrowed 800,000 yuan from Zhou's Piao No., which will expire in January next year. With the interest, the total amount will be 900,000 yuan. I probably won't pay it back. The new Li Shangshu went to the Piao No. yesterday and wanted to borrow another 300,000 yuan.

The new Minister of Revenue Li Shiwen strongly opposed the "Ten-faced people" and believed that "Ten-faced people cannot do their best and will waste money and food in the national treasury for several years. It is a move of drinking poison to quench thirst. He attacked Yang Sichang many times in the court and also had many constraints on 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 elders?

Ding Qi looked calm and said: It depends on whether the handle is too big. You can ask. It’s too late. There is no time for Yang Shangshu to go home and say goodbye.

Shan Linzheng suddenly pressed his dagger under Ding Qi's neck and said in a cold voice: If you don't want to die, tell me honestly, what are the handles you said!

Ding Qi leaned forward and sneered: Do you dare to kill me? Do you think the money I gave was given for free? You little doctor like you will be able to tear your whole family to pieces in just one word!

Shan Linzheng looked cold and his eyes were like a poisonous snake. He stared at Ding Qi for a while, and turned around and said: Look out for him!

Yes! The soldiers responded quickly.

Shan Lin was leaving the storage room and walked straight towards Yang Sichang's class room.
Chapter completed!
