News of the deaths of Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others came one after another in the capital. Li Xiao was already thinking about the upcoming war with the Tatars. He did not have the time or energy to care about the internal strife in the Ming Dynasty. Of course, the Ming court did not have the time to care about it either. Things about Li Xiao.

Wang Tiqian came out of Wei Zhongxian's home with great satisfaction. Although his sleeves were fluttering, the weight inside was not light. There was a bill of lading for 20,000 taels of silver. As long as you took this bill of lading, you could go to the household department to withdraw the 20,000 taels. silver.

Wei Zhongxian was generous in his actions. If it weren't for Wang Tigan to read the memorial in front of the emperor, Wei Zhongxian would probably be able to beat drums in his bones now!

A small sedan took Wang Tiqian back to the mansion. As he approached the gate of the mansion, the guards naturally dispersed. As soon as Wang Tiqian got out of the sedan, his confidant Wang Fugui came over with a smile.

"Master! The second master is here. He is waiting in the study."

"Got it!" Wang Tiqian glanced around subconsciously, and then followed Wang Fugui to the study.

"Second brother, is it the master's order to come so late?" Wang Tiqian entered the study and saw Wang Chengen sitting on the chair.

Wang Fugui knowingly withdrew, leaving only Wang Chengen and Wang Tiqian in the room.

"Brother, are you having a drink?" Wang Chengen smiled and greeted Wang Tiqian.

Although he and Wang Tiqian are not biological brothers, they were taken care of by a master in the palace together since childhood. Speaking of it, the two of them can be regarded as senior brothers. The two of them have had a good relationship since childhood. When they fight with other servants, they always fight together. superior.

After the two younger brothers reached adulthood, they were sent to the Prince's East Palace, but they were not well-received in the East Palace at that time. The two brothers could only depend on each other. Later, the two brothers were pointed out to the two brothers respectively - Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian.

Wang Tiqian followed Zhu Youxiao as a chamberlain, and Wang Chengen followed Zhu Youjian, who is now King Xin, as a chamberlain. At that time, these were unpopular jobs. The emperor didn't like the prince, so naturally he wouldn't like the two princes either. Son, if you follow these two nominal princes, you will have no future in this life.

Who would have thought that Zhu Youxiao would make a comeback, and his father would die after being emperor for a month. Zhu Youxiao, at a young age, would suddenly transform into Emperor Tianqi. Wang Tiqian's status naturally also rose, and he was promoted to Director of Ceremonies, Bingbi eunuch.

"Prisoner Wei is treating me to a guest and thanking me for reading the memorial that day. This is all out of respect for the master!" Wang Tigan sat on the chair, took off his hat and put it on the purple gold crown.

"Brother is really a loyal person. If others encounter such a thing, they may not be willing to do it."

"I was seriously ill back then. If my master hadn't given me money and hired an imperial doctor, I would have died a long time ago. It wasn't easy for my master at that time, and he didn't have much money. I'm not his slave, and he doesn't care about me... !Hey...! When I think about it, what will happen even if I sell my life to my master?" Perhaps thinking of the past, Wang Tiqian felt a little lonely.

"We are slaves, and our lives are very low, which means the master treats us as individuals."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Is there something wrong with you coming so late today? Do you have any orders from the master?" After long experience with the emperor, Wang Tiqian no longer dared to expose his emotions in front of others. Even when facing Wang Chengen, He only showed his true feelings for a moment.

"Master praised you for doing this well. Wei Zhongxian is now killing the Donglin Party. Zhao Nanxing, who was self-respecting for his merits, was demoted back to his hometown. Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou are both dead. It can be said that the imperial court has reached its peak. Ban Bian. The master has ordered that you continue to help Supervisor Wei coax the emperor. To the Donglin Party, let Supervisor Wei get involved in the Donglin Party."

"The Donglin Party is powerful after all. If too many people are implicated, the consequences...! It will shake the country." Wang Tiqian hesitated.

"Haha, brother, why are you confused? The kindness comes from the top, and Supervisor Wei is doing this in the name of the emperor. If he does too many bad things, it will naturally ruin the emperor's name. If the emperor becomes successful, the master will take his place and show kindness. To the people of Donglin. In that case, wouldn’t the Donglin Party still be grateful to their master?

When that time comes, it will not be Donglin who wants to take advantage of his kindness. Instead, it will be Donglin who wants to thank His Majesty for his rescue and revenge."

"Wonderful! As long as the master can successfully ascend the throne, it doesn't matter if a few Donglins die."

"By the way, the concubines in the palace are quite honest, right? I heard that the queen is pregnant?" Wang Chengen changed the subject. What he was most worried about now was that the queen gave birth to a child. If the queen gave birth to a child, it would be the emperor's legitimate son. According to According to the etiquette system, he will definitely be named the prince. In the future, he is also most likely to become the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"Yes! The Queen is pregnant. The hospital has confirmed this. But don't worry, Supervisor Wei and Hakka are more anxious than us. Did you forget about Concubine Yu this summer?"

"I just heard that Concubine Yu died, but I don't know how she died. The news in the palace is very tightly sealed, and no word comes out."

"How did she die? I only heard the details recently. Concubine Yu passed the due date for giving birth according to the Taiyuan Hospital. Wei Zhongxian reported it to His Majesty, and Mrs. Hakka was beside her, beating the drum and saying that Concubine Yu had offended the gods and needed to be moved. Leave the palace and personally pray for the unborn prince."

"Could it be that she was harmed like this? There are so many palace maids and chamberlains around Concubine Yu. Her father is the Marquis Zhang of Chongxin. Since the Yongle period, his family has been a marquis. Once the news spreads, Supervisor Wei will still want to live. ?" Wang Chengen's eyes widened, he couldn't believe that Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family dared to kill their concubines so blatantly.

"They have many tricks. The Hakka family dismissed the palace maids and chamberlains around her on the grounds that Concubine Yu needed to rest and pray for blessings. Do you know where they moved to another palace? The one they moved was the beekeeping corridor!"

"Then...! Isn't that just an open-air passage inside the palace? There is no palace there...!"

"Who says it's not the case? The Hakka family not only locked Concubine Yu inside, but also deprived her of food. Concubine Yu stayed up for a few days, and it rained heavily. She crawled under the eaves, drank a few sips of water from the eaves, and then became angry. He died. I heard that he was only found two days after his death, and his body was soaked and swollen by the rain. How miserable!”

"Then what if Lord Zhang knows about it!"

"Whoever dares to talk nonsense in the palace will die! Wei Jian and the Hakka family have always been worried that if the emperor's heirs cannot be controlled by them, they will definitely die badly in the future. Therefore, they always think of letting them choose them. The concubines are pregnant. But I don’t know how, but these concubines just can’t get pregnant.”

"Haha! I don't hide this matter from my eldest brother. This matter is done privately by the brothers. All they need to do is put some Dahan safflower in their daily diet. If they want to get pregnant, hehe! Just wait for the next life!"

Wang Chengen smiled very confidently. There were already many of his minions in the palace. Although he still couldn't get access to high-level concubines, he could still get those with good looks and beauties.

"It turns out it was you who did it, brother. That's fine. As long as Your Majesty has no heirs, brothers will eventually succeed. This Ming Dynasty will belong to the master sooner or later."

"However, I don't have the manpower around the queen. Big brother needs to be careful. If Wei Jian and the Hakka family can't succeed, they must also find a way to prevent the queen from giving birth to the child."

"The Hakka family and Supervisor Wei have begun to lay off the people to replace the queen, and they must be about to take action. Brother, don't worry, there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Even if the queen gives birth to a child, she wants to raise it. It’s not an easy thing either. Don’t forget, the emperor’s second son was born to Concubine Hui Fan, but didn’t he die before he was raised?

Supervisor Wei has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He doesn't provide silver and charcoal in winter. He seals the windows and the carbon fumes can kill a whole room of people overnight."

"Okay! It's always safe to leave the matter to the elder brother. I went back to the master first. If Wei Zhongxian wants to be implicated, let him be implicated. It's best to make him and the emperor hate everyone. This way, after the master ascends the throne, it will be easier to clean up people's hearts. ."

"I got it! I will say hello to my master on behalf of my brother and tell him that no matter what time comes, my heart will always be with my master. In order to protect my master from ascending the throne, I will not hesitate even if my body is broken to pieces!"

"Let's go! Brother!"

Wang Chengen cupped his hands in front of Wang Tiqian, opened the door and saw Wang Fugui guarding the door. He casually threw a 2-tael silver ingot over, and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.

************************************************************************ ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

With the help of Wang Tigan, Wei Zhongxian is now like a fish in water. Jin Yiwei and Dongchang Tiqi came out in all directions, causing a stir for a while. Xu Xianchun and others also joined in, as long as they usually disliked or offended him, They were all sent to prison and tortured. Those from well-off families who could afford the money would suffer less punishment.

If it costs a lot of money, releasing it is not non-negotiable.

If you meet someone whose family has no money, you can only admit that you are unlucky. You will pull them out every three days to practice, and beat them to pieces. You will also write letters with their blood, asking the family to try their best to raise some money.

In the spirit of preferring to kill a thousand by mistake rather than letting one go, Wei Zhongxian began a large-scale pursuit of the Donglin Party, which even reached Jiangnan.

The proud and invincible Eunuch Wei thought that he was invincible and could accomplish anything!

But Wei Zhongxian was wrong. If he goes beyond the limit in everything, retribution will come sooner.

When Dongchang Fanzi went to South Zhili to arrest a guy named Zhou Shunchang, something big happened.

In fact, Zhou Shunchang's inclusion in Wei Zhongxian's list was quite dramatic.

Zhou Shunchang was not on the persecution list at first. After all, he was an ordinary local official, and even Eunuch Wei, a cadre of this level, looked down upon him.

But the reason why he became a backup was entirely because of himself.

When the people who captured Wei Dazhong were crossing the border, Zhou Shunchang invited Wei Dazhong to his home. They had good food, drinks and hospitality. After three rounds of wine, the two families even got married.

Dongchang's fan was unwilling and pointed at Zhou Shunchang's nose and yelled.

As a result, Mr. Zhou's temper was obviously not very good. Although he didn't take any action, he immediately scolded him.

"Don't you know there are people in this world who are not afraid of death? Go back and tell Wei Zhongxian that I will not change my name in business, but my surname is Zhou Shunchang. You just come to me and frown, I am not a good man."

Since you want to be a hero, let me help you.

Zhou Shunchang succeeded in angering Eunuch Wei with his practical actions. As a result, the second batch of Dongchang's gangsters soon arrived. Their only purpose was to arrest Zhou Shunchang.

Zhou Shunchang was a native of Suzhou, South Zhili Province. He was a very honest official and he was very loyal. He always helped others when he had nothing to do, and he had a very good reputation in the local area.

Fanzi from Dongchang didn't understand the situation and didn't bother to investigate. He felt that Suzhou Humanity Crepe was easy to bully, so he habitually set up unspoken rules as soon as he arrived. He asked Zhou Shunchang's family to give him money, and even threatened to do so publicly. If he didn't give it, he would

On the way, he told Zhou Shunchang what to do and other threatening words.

It's a pity that Zhou Shunchang really has no money, but he himself can see it. He also threatened not to give a penny, but let's see what you can do?

But the villagers gave up. Those who had been helped by Zhou Shunchang had been kind to them. They began to collect money to give to the fans in Dongchang. Many poor families pawned their clothes, just to do favors for the fans in Dongchang.

The name of Dongchang Fanzi who leads the team is Wen Zhibing, he can be said to be the bastard among bastards and the scum among scum!

He actually pushed the envelope even further and asked for more money, only to have to increase the price.

Although it was too bad, everyone tolerated it for the sake of Zhou Shunchang's safety.

In order to protest against the arrest of Zhou Shunchang, Suzhou Prefecture actually held a strike!

If you want a sensible person, you should run away when you see this sign. But Wen Zhibing is used to being arrogant in the capital, and his IQ has dropped to an alarming level. He is still swaggering on the street, pointing at the noses of merchants, yelling and scolding, and ordering them to open their doors.

Business.

In order not to implicate Zhou Shunchang, everyone endured it again.

But again and again, not again and again.

On the day when Zhou Shunchang was escorted to the road, hundreds of thousands of people came to see Zhou Shunchang off. It was more lively than a temple fair and almost overwhelmed the county government office.

Wen Zhibing didn’t know if he was really lacking in brains, or if his IQ was really too low. Or maybe he was too courageous!

In front of hundreds of thousands of people, he actually stood up and shouted loudly: "If anyone is arrested in Dongchang, get out of here."

Extortion, taking money without doing anything. Bullying the people, with hundreds of thousands of people standing in front of them, and still dare to threaten the people... People who are stupid enough to do this mean that they can't bear it anymore, and there is no need to bear it anymore!

A man stood up and said, "Is it the order of Supervisor Wei to arrest people in Dongchang?"

"I cut out your tongue. Did you also say the factory owner's last name?"

"I thought it was the emperor's order, but it turned out to be the dog from Dongchang."

"Looking for death!" Wen Zhibing pulled out the saber from his waist. According to his idea, the people on the opposite side should be so frightened at this time that their faces turned pale. Then they would run away with their heads in their arms. Some people with poor psychological endurance would be so frightened that they would lose control of their bowels and urine.
