Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 142
Shangguan Haitang walked outside without looking back.

Mrs. Yang was a little nervous. She has a natural compassion and can't just leave her dead.

"Junior sister, let her go, she will come back."

Master Yang turned around and blamed Yu Zhenzi, saying that he was too nosy.Yu Zhenzi, however, kept smiling and said nothing.

Soon, Shangguan Haitang went back and forth, but this time, she came in a little flustered.

"Son, what's wrong with you? Why are you so ugly?"

Shangguan Haitang stepped forward and said to Mrs. Yang: "Master, many officers and soldiers have come outside and surrounded the outside."

Upon hearing this, Master Yang's face changed slightly and said, "Blessed by Bodhisattva, we have been cultivating our minds and chanting Buddha's name here and have never left this mountain. What are the officers and soldiers doing here?"

As he was talking, he heard someone knocking on the door.

Master Yang walked over slowly and opened the door, only to see that there were officers and soldiers surrounded outside, and two cannons in red were facing the door of the nunnery, ready to attack at any time.

"You, you are"

"Stop talking nonsense and hand over all the hidden prisoners to me. Otherwise, humph, these cannons are not vegetarians."

Master Yang couldn't believe his eyes, he had no idea who the criminal they were talking about was?

"Did you find the wrong place? This is a pure place of Buddhism. What kind of prisoner are you looking for?" Master Yang asked.

"Hehe, I think you are asking the question knowingly. It seems that if the general does not give you some means, you will not explain it!"

"Come on! Aim the muzzle here and fire me!"

Hearing this, Master Yang was so frightened that his face was ashes.

"Wait a minute, is it me who you are looking for?"

Shangguan Haitang came out from behind and stood in front of Master Yang.

Some of the officers and soldiers knew Shangguan Haitang, and said to the leading general: "General, this man is a disciple of God Lord Tie Dan, the head of the Xuan family, and I heard that he has been working as a second-rank guard with a sword in the palace recently. "

When the general in charge heard that he was a second-rank official, slightly higher than his own, he said politely: "We are here to investigate the leak case, and no one else is allowed to interfere. If you force yourself to do something, we will do it." Unkind."

"If you are sensible, make way for this general, otherwise when the time comes to fight hand to hand, it will be unattractive to everyone."

After finishing speaking, the general waved to his subordinates, signaling them to go in and search for people.

Shangguan Haitang hurriedly took out the badge from his waist, showed it in front of the general, and shouted loudly: "I see whoever dares to take a step forward will be shot!"

That general was also a stubborn one, he knew that the person they were looking for was hiding here, they were just acting as a cover, if there was any delay, it might be too late.

But when he saw the badge of Shangguan Haitang's inner guard, he was also a little timid. The status of this inner guard is not something that ordinary people can get casually.

However, he thought about it in a blink of an eye, they were deliberately making things difficult, and the person they were looking for must be inside, so he also shouted at his subordinates regardless: "Artillery, get ready!"

Shangguan Haitang knew the power of the Ming cannons, the No. [-] village in the world was so strong that it was all razed to the ground, how could this nunnery withstand the strong attack of the cannons, and this waist card didn't work either.

It seemed that forcing themselves to block it would not work. They simply turned around, got out of the way of a group of officers and soldiers, and poured water into the nunnery.

Yu Zhenzi was meditating at this time, and he had calculated thousands of times, but he didn't calculate that a catastrophe would befall him today.

In the inn that night, he could basically conclude that the person he saw was the current emperor, but this was a secret and could not be easily revealed to outsiders, so he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed before leaving.

Unexpectedly, that night, he got into trouble.

Several officers and soldiers quickly found Yu Zhenzi in a house in the nunnery.

"Come here, tie up this old man with a strong nose, and I will personally escort him to see Eunuch Cao."

When Shangguan Haitang heard that it was someone sent by Cao Zhengchun, she knew that this time it must be over, if she didn't save people, it might cause more troubles.

At the same time, Shangshu Yang Tinghe came out of the prison and asked his subordinates to keep the shop owner, who had been beaten to the brink of death.

Yang Tinghe asked someone to bring a basin of cold water and pour it on the shopkeeper's head, and the shopkeeper slowly regained consciousness.

"Say, who leaked the exam questions?"

"I've said it many times, don't care about my business, you just kill me!"

The store owner, who had been tortured and bruised, just wanted to die. As for the officials behind him, he didn't know at all, and it was impossible to tell who asked them to do this.

While interrogating, I heard the disciple come to report: "Master, Eunuch Cao said that he caught the escaped Taoist priest, and wants you to go over and discuss it."

Yang Tinghe's eyes lit up. His Majesty only gave him five days. Seeing that three and a half days have passed, there is no progress in this matter. If it is delayed again, his head will probably move.

Therefore, after hearing what Menzi said, he asked someone to keep the store under custody, and ran to the West Factory at high speed.

In the past, the civil official group looked down on the eunuch group the most. They thought that the eunuchs were not men, they only followed the emperor to do their best, they were slaves in front of His Majesty, and uncles in front of others.

But this time, Yang Tinghe ran faster than anyone else. He has been in the officialdom all his life and knows the consequences of this matter very well.

Although the examiner who will take the exam in a few days is his old partner Wang Ao, and he can take care of many things, but this matter, His Majesty personally intervened, and there must be no sloppy.

In a quarter of an hour, Yang Tinghe rushed to the West Factory. As soon as he entered the door, he saw many people standing in the yard, a Taoist priest was tied to a pillar next to him, and next to him was the torture device for judging prisoners.

This was his second visit to Xichang. As soon as he entered the door, he felt a bloody smell.

"Eunuch Cao, how should I repay your great kindness?"

Yang Tinghe was joking, while looking at the Taoist priest. In his eyes, although Cao Zhengchun was a celebrity around the emperor, he was still an eunuch. The Ming Dynasty had strict regulations, and eunuchs and the harem were strictly prohibited from interfering in government affairs.

However, when the Ming Dynasty developed into the Zhengde period, the phenomenon of eunuchs interfering in government affairs became more and more intense.

"Humph, the Zajia family does not need Yang Shangshu's repayment. The Zajia family only hopes that Yang Shangshu will always criticize the Zajia family in front of His Majesty in the future. This time it is a task for the Zajia family and you. The prisoner Zajia family will be handed over to you and you will deal with it. !”

"Thank you!" Yang Tinghe cupped his hands, feeling a little fond of Cao Zhengchun in his heart.

This old saying is good, people who don't use it have to use it three times, don't look at Cao Zhengchun as an eunuch, but he has great energy, if it wasn't for him this time, I'm afraid my head would have to move.

"Eunuch Cao, I will make up for your kindness this time when I go back. However, I only caught such a Taoist, and I still don't know who the leaker is. In the end, I still can't pay the debt. In my opinion, .”

After listening to Yang Tinghe's words, Yu Zhenzi realized that the reason for his suffering was the person he met that day, and he was even more sure in his heart that that person was the current emperor.

He immediately used his thoughts and made a divination for himself. The divination showed auspiciousness, and his heart relaxed a little.
