Chapter 94: Involvement in the Palace
"What are you doing?" At this time, several lieutenants rushed in, and one of them shouted: "The commander-in-chief arrived and put away his knife. Brothers, what are you doing?"
Teams of Jinyi Captains arrived here, with hundreds of people. Everyone came over with Ji Gang. Ji Gang got off the horse and was still holding a horse whip in his hand. Obviously, the commander's face was a little unfair.
Ji Gang originally had an attitude of watching the wall, and had a conflict with the magistrate and the officers, which was not harmful to him, the commander. He even had the idea of checking and balancing this, and thought it would be better to make a fuss. But when he heard that the Thousand Houses in Dongcheng were surrounded by hundreds of lieutenants and strong men, he was stunned.
He never expected that things would be so big and things would be completely out of control. Not only that, when the news of Qianhu being beaten came, Ji Gang finally couldn't sit still.
"Bastard, this guy named Hao is simply crazy." If Ji Gang lets go, he is afraid that it will not take long before the entire Jinyiwei will become a laughing stock.
Isn’t this a joke at the emperor’s feet?
Ji Gang's face looked like dry bacon, with a stream of bad luck. When he appeared with a whip in his hand, everyone present could not help but lower their heads and said, "I have seen the commander."
Immediately afterwards, a large number of people were kneeling outside the Qianhu Station.
Ji Gang walked through the wave-like crowd with his hands behind his back, glaring at the dying Cheng Wen with his eyes fiercely, then glanced at Hao Fenglou, and said word by word: "Okay, it seems that I have time to not miss this good show. Why don't you make trouble? You can continue to make trouble, it's best for everyone in the world to know!"
Liang Chao stepped forward and said, "Sir, this matter has all started because of Hao Fenglou, a hundred households in Donghuamen. He incited the lieutenant to cause trouble in Qianhu's office and beat Cheng Wen of Qianhu. He humbled his thoughts that if he could not be severely punished, everyone in the guards would follow suit in the future and would have to be in chaos."
Wu Hui also went up and said seriously: "Sir, everything has a cause and will have a result. Cheng Wen of Qianhu deducted military pay, and this was a big deal. The emperor's personal army actually became infected with local bad habits. If this matter is not investigated, I don't know what trouble will happen in the future."
Ji Gang had a decision in his heart: "Come, drive away all irrelevant people, and take these signs off." Ji Gang raised his head and saw Wu Tao, the general flag who was climbing on the city tower and did not dare to make a sound, and said, "Who is this guy? Are you crazy? Tell him to come down. The rest of the people will go in and reply."
After saying that, Ji Gang took the lead in entering the Thousand Houses.
After a cup of tea, Ji Gang sat in the top of the lobby of Qianhu House, Wu Hui and Liang Chao sat on both sides, Hao Fenglou and Cheng Wen were both held in front of the hall. Ji Gang glanced at Cheng Wen indifferently, then looked at Hao Fenglou, his lungs were about to explode, and the entire Jinyiwei was completely disgraced. After all, it was all the troubles caused by these two guys. Although Ji Gang showed a little appreciation for Hao Fenglou, and even had a bit of the intention to join Hao Fenglou, but if you don’t clean up this mess now, how can you explain to the upper and lower levels?
"Sir..." Liang Chao was about to speak after coughing.
Ji Gang pressed his hands and said lightly: "You don't have to talk about it, you have to talk about it. Let them talk about it. Cheng Wen, you are a thousand households, you can talk about it first."
Cheng Wen had a bruised face and was covered in bruises, but he knew that this was the most critical moment. Any mistake could have caused him to mislead himself, so he cheered up and said, "I misunderstood that I misunderstood Hao Fenglou's nonsense. Hao Fenglou received a sum of silver at Donghuamen and promised him that he would send a batch of silver to the brothers in the institute to have a good New Year. At that time, he believed it, but later, Hao Fenglou turned his back on his word. Not only did he not escort the silver, but he incited the brothers in Wei to come to Qianhu to make trouble, and humbled himself as Qianhu in Neidongcheng..."
Hao Fenglou sneered beside him.
Ji Gang's brows were pressed down heavily, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Hao Fenglou's attitude.
Ji Gang said patiently: "Hao Fenglou, why are you laughing at?"
Hao Fenglou said: "I laugh at the nonsense of thousands of households and confuse right and wrong."
The assistant minister Liang Chao was so angry that he slapped the table and said, "Do you talk nonsense? Then I ask you, are you inciting people to come to these thousand households?"
Hao Fenglou said: "It's true."
Liang Chao asked again: "Is it true that you beat Qianhu?"
Hao Fenglou said: "Nothing wrong."
Liang Chao laughed and said, "Since that's the case, you have already admitted it. What else do you have to say? The person comes..."
Hao Fenglou said lightly: "Chief Liang, although you are a Shangguan, the commander is here. The commander is asking about humbleness. It seems that it is not the turn of Liang to be the leader here, right?"
Liang Chao's face was terriblely dark, so he had to look at Ji Gang.
Ji Gang said coldly: "Since you have admitted it, you should know what the following offense is and what it means. I will give you a chance to see how you defend yourself."
Hao Fenglou said: "The humble man did not promise any money from the Qianhu House. Donghuamen did receive a sum of silver. However, Cheng Wen could not make the decision of these silver, and the humble man could not make the decision, because he had been escorted to the palace a few days ago."
Entering the palace...
"What..." Cheng Wen's face suddenly turned black and his eyes were dumbfounded. Even Liang Chao almost fell down.
Hao Fenglou explained: "The security money collected by the hundreds of households in Donghuamen was reported to the palace earlier. Your Majesty was particularly concerned about this. He had a verbal order to make the humble man do something wrong and should not be wrong. After collecting this batch of silver, he naturally did not dare to delay and ordered people to escort him into the palace. My sir, imagine that this is the money that the palace had already stated that he would escort him into the inner treasury. Even if he had the courage, he would definitely not dare to promise to the Qianhu House. However, Cheng Wen, the Qianhu House, said that he promised to send the silver to the Qianhu House. My sir, Cheng Wen had such lies. Can he believe such a person?"
Ji Gang narrowed his eyes and listened to Hao Fenglou's words meticulously. Soon, he made a clue that this matter actually involved the palace and the emperor, which was already a big deal. Ji Gang smiled bitterly in his heart. If he did not handle the matter properly at this time, he was afraid that His Majesty would deal with him properly next.
Ji Gang looked at Hao Fenglou deeply and understood in his heart that the money sent to the palace alone had already made Hao Fenglou invincible. In other words, this was the money he wanted in the palace, and Cheng Wen, a thousand households, dared to seize food from the tiger's mouth, and the relationship here was quite large.
Ji Gang kept silent and glanced at Cheng Wen.
Of course, Cheng Wen also realized something and couldn't help but say, "Hao Fenglou, you... you are talking nonsense, it's clearly you promised the deputy Qianhu..."
Hao Fenglou smiled: "Is that true? Since that's the case, then you might as well ask the deputy Mr. Zhu Jianzhu to confront him on the spot, and you will know it after asking."
Ji Gang's face became extremely deep and his eyes were deep. At this time, what he thought more about was no longer the truth of the matter, but how to finish the matter and pondered for a moment: "Call Zhu Jian."
Zhu Jian was waiting outside and came in to salute. Ji Gang asked, "Cheng Wen of Qianhu said that Hao Fenglou had promised you money. Is it true?"
Zhu Jian knelt down and said, "I have never heard of it."
Boom... Cheng Wen felt that his mind was almost blown away. He looked at Zhu Jian in disbelief and realized that he was fooled by Zhu Jian and Hao Fenglou.
Ji Gang waved his hand: "Zhu Jian retreated."
