Daming Junior Scholar

When he saw Zhang Yong clearly, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. He hurriedly crawled over to Zhang Yong's side, grabbed his leg, and begged loudly, "Grandfather, save me!" , Eunuch save me, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die here.”

Seeing Deng Lun's useless appearance, Zhang Yong wished to kill him here with a knife. He stared coldly at Deng Lun, and when he stopped shouting, he snorted coldly: "Deng Lun , let me ask you, didn’t I ask you to go to Liefengzhai to help Zhou Jian’an? What happened, and why did you appear here?”

"Back to Eunuch, the villain did go to Liefengzhai according to your order, but I don't know what happened. On the day Zhou Jianbai married Xie Qinhu, He Jia'an suddenly appeared in Xie Qinhu's room. The villain The movement was a little slower, and Zhou Jianbai was controlled by He Jiaan that day. The villain wanted to go in and snatch Zhou Jianan out, but He Jiaan had already made preparations, and the surrounding walls were full of his troops. Thousands of arrows fell, and most of the brothers were killed or wounded, and the rest were all caught and locked up by He Jiaan."

what?

When Zhang Yong heard the news, Zhang Yong's eyes suddenly widened. He must have heard it wrong. How did the news get out? It took only a few days from the capital to Liefengzhai. How could He Jiaan appear there? Could it be that there are ghosts around him?

Zhang Yong's heart was suddenly in a mess, and he couldn't guess who the spy beside him was for a while. At this time, he glanced at Deng Lun and asked in a low voice: "I ask you, today in the imperial study room, you are with me." What did Long Live Lord say? Tell me everything."

Chapter 1411

Chapter 1411

"Elder-in-law, listen to me, the little one really didn't betray father-in-law. A few days ago in Liefeng Village, everything went very smoothly at the beginning. Zhou Jianbai also controlled most of the people in the village. Who would have expected that Zhou Jianbai wanted to marry Xie Qinhu?" On that day, He Jiaan suddenly appeared in Xie Qinhu's room, and it was a step too late to investigate, and Zhou Jianbai was directly killed by He Jiaan."

"Killed?" Zhang Yong was startled. If Zhou Jianbai died, wouldn't his plan to control the bandits in the Northwest be disrupted? If he had known that it would be like chicken feathers in this place, it would be better to agree with Xie Qinhu at the beginning. Requirements, 5 taels of silver a year is not a big deal for me, but I am now in a dilemma.

"Yes, this is what the little one saw with his own eyes. The little one wanted to save Zhou Jianbai, but at this moment He Jiaan's ambushes suddenly appeared. All the brothers brought by the little one were killed, and even the little one was killed. He was wounded by an arrow and was captured alive by He Jiaan's men."

Speaking of this, Deng Lun couldn't help showing a hint of shame on his face, and then sighed softly: "The little one has a heavy trust from his father-in-law. I thought I would just die like this, but..."

"Just what? It's not that you are greedy for life and afraid of death." Zhang Yong snorted heavily, then hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Let me ask you, what exactly did you confess to He Jia'an, and what did you say in front of Zhengde?"

"The little one really didn't betray his father-in-law. When Mr. He asked, the little one had already taken all the responsibility on himself. No matter what Mr. He asked, the little one insisted that it was the little one who was obsessed with ghosts and wanted to make a fortune. People who came to Liefengzhai didn't mention father-in-law at all."

"Really?" Zhang Yong asked doubtfully.

"I swear to the sky, if there is a lie, I will be pierced by ten thousand arrows." Deng Lun raised his hand and said seriously.

With the light of the torch, Zhang Yong fixed his eyes on Deng Lun's face, and after a while, he said quietly: "Okay, the miscellaneous family will believe you this time, but let's talk about the ugly things first. You know how powerful the Zajia is, if you don’t confess the Zajia, maybe the Zajia can find a way to rescue you, but if you dare to betray the Zajia..."

Zhang Yong's voice suddenly paused, and then he said quietly: "The miscellaneous family will punish your nine clans."

When the torch left, the light in the prison gradually dimmed again, and when the murderous aura around him disappeared, Deng Lun, who was already in cold sweat, let out a long sigh of relief, because he knew that his life was finally saved.

After a while, there was a sudden "squeak" sound from the corner of the cell, and a ray of light suddenly flashed in the originally dark corner, and the light became bigger and bigger, and finally a door appeared, and just behind the door On the other side, there is a hidden room.

There are people in the room, and the one in the middle is like a star, it is none other than Zhengde who should have been resting in the palace.

At this time, Zhengde had a serious face, his empty eyes were looking at a certain place without focus, and he didn't finish speaking for a long time, probably what he just heard was beyond the scope of his heart, and he never thought of it. The person I trust the most can actually do such a rebellious thing. Liu Jin was like this before, and Zhang Yong is also like this now. Could it be that so much gold, silver, jewels and monstrous power can't satisfy their desires?

Or is it too much of a failure to be a man?

As the most powerful man in Daming, how could he admit his mistakes.

When Zhengde's eyes regained clarity, he first looked up at Deng Lun, and said lightly, "Come here, quickly untie Deng Aiqing."

"Yes." The little eunuch beside him responded, and quickly went over to release Deng Lun. After he let go, Deng Lun plopped down on his knees in front of Zhengde, thanking him repeatedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."

"Deng Lun." Zhengde snorted softly: "If I don't kill you, it doesn't mean that you are innocent. Now that the death penalty has been spared, the crime of living is inevitable. You...can you plead guilty?"

Deng Lun nodded: "Plead guilty in a humble position."

"Okay." Zhengde paused, and then said word by word: "I entrusted you with a task...to kill Zhang Yong."

The first night He Jiaan returned to the capital, countless people couldn't sleep, but he became much more relaxed. After returning to the mansion, he fell asleep soundly, just because he knew that maybe it was just a few days of effort , it's time for the capital to change.

At dawn, just as the leopard room opened, Zhang Yong drove back in a carriage. After changing his clothes, he rushed to Zhengde's bedroom. Before entering the courtyard, a little eunuch hurried over , Seeing Zhang Yongshi, he rushed up to greet him, and after saluting, he hurriedly shouted: "Eunuch Zhang, Lord Long Live is looking for you."

"Oh? The miscellaneous family knows, where is Long Live Lord now?" Zhang Yongzheng was having ghosts in his heart, and if Zhengde usually looked for him, he wouldn't be in any panic, but now, when he heard it, his mind would inevitably go wrong.

The little eunuch pointed: "Long live Lord is in the animal room, looking at the new leopard."

"Okay, the miscellaneous family will pass here." Zhang Yong responded, and hurriedly walked over.

Not long after, Zhang Yong appeared at the door of the veterinary house, and when he walked in on tiptoe, he happened to see Zhengde teasing the little leopard with a smile on his face. slave?"

"Zhang Yong." Zhengde glanced back, the expression on his face did not change, he handed over the golden basin containing fresh meat to someone else, and then asked: "I ordered you to invite He Aiqing to a banquet yesterday, are you ready?" How's it going?"

Uh……

Zhang Yong was taken aback. Yesterday he was thinking about Deng Lun's matter, and he completely forgot about it. Now when he heard Zhengde mentioning it, he was taken aback. Then he rolled his eyes and said bravely. : "Going back to Lord Long Live, I'm almost ready, and I can entertain Mr. He tomorrow night."

"Well, that's good. He Aiqing has made great contributions to our country and society. This time, you can't wait for He Aiqing. How about this? You should go over the banquet menu carefully, and you must satisfy He Aiqing, oh yes , He Aiqing is from the south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that the taste is a little different from ours, you must tell the cook to pay attention."

"Long live Lord, don't worry, this matter will be handed over to the servant, and I promise to make Mr. He return home satisfied."

"Uh, I believe in you, so I'll leave this matter to you." Zhengde patted Zhang Yong's shoulder deliberately, then turned around himself, took the golden pot of meat, and continued with the previous work. action.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yong still didn't understand what Zhengde meant, so he tiptoed out and ran towards the kitchen.

It's just that there is a little jealousy in his heart. Lord Long Live is so kind to He Jia'an, why didn't he just arrest Deng Lun and make such a big fuss? Why don't you investigate his mistake of entering Beijing without authorization? ?Putting it on others, this is a crime that can be killed, but...

Thinking about it, Zhang Yong was taken aback for a moment. He always felt that he had overlooked something. If He Jiaan returned to Beijing only because of Deng Lun, then Long Live God didn't need to make it so grand. Could it be that Deng Lun Is it just a cover put up by He Jiaan?What was he trying to hide?

Chapter 1412 Desperate

When doubts sprout in my heart, they quickly take root and sprout in my mind.

Zhang Yong's footsteps gradually became heavier and heavier, and he began to wonder if Zhengde had discovered something. Could it be that he was thinking about the banquet of He Jiaan so much to test himself?

Very likely.

I have been with Zhengde for so long, and I have already figured out Zhengde's mind. He has never been easy to trust others, especially his subordinates. Even Yang Ting, who is the chief assistant of the cabinet, always treats him secretly. He was dissatisfied. Although He Jia'an had saved Zhengde's life, but in other words, he had seen the most embarrassing side of Zhengde. He actually wanted to entertain He Jia'an in the palace for the first time. Could it be that he really wanted to drink? ?

Zhang Yong's footsteps had already stopped, so he found a place so casually and sat down, looking forward with a sinking face, his mind was full of the words that Zhengde said to him just now, the more he pondered The more I felt wrong about this matter, after thinking about it, I finally thought of a good way to confirm it.

He rushed to the kitchen first, and after giving orders to the imperial chef, Zhang Yong hurriedly left again. After changing into the clothes he had left the palace with, he had already left the leopard room in a carriage. The place to go is no other place, it is still the prison of Beizhen Fusi that I visited yesterday, and I want to see with my own eyes whether Deng Lun is still here.

If he is still there, it proves that he did not lie to himself, Zhengde has not doubted himself yet, but if he is not there... then it can only prove one thing, Zhengde already knows what he thinks, what kind of dinner party, there is nothing It's just a lie.

When they arrived in front of Fusi Gate in Beizhen, the gatekeeper was startled when he saw Zhang Yongshi, and was about to report to him, but was stopped by Zhang Yong, and he took him straight to the imperial edict without saying a word. In the prison, I didn't even care about the bad smell, I walked directly to the door of the innermost cell, and after just looking in, I felt dizzy and felt like I was falling into an ice cellar.

As expected, Deng Lun was not here.

What about Zhou Jianbai being killed, and what about him being injured would rather die than submit, are all fake, everything is fake, this is basically a play he played for himself, everyone is the protagonist in the play, He Jiaan, Deng Lun, even Zhengde and others are all actors in the play, and they only do this for one purpose, which is to paralyze themselves.

Zhengde, Zhengde, it was a waste of all these years to support you, but in the end, all you got in return was how cruelly you treated him, what kind of banquet He Jiaan, this is clearly to paralyze yourself first, and then wipe out the people around you.

He Jiaan, you are so cruel, but it is thanks to myself that I discovered Deng Lun's flaw early, otherwise, I am afraid that I would not even know how to die.

Just as Zhang Yong was staring at the prison and thinking about something, another group of people hurried in. Qian Ning came to Zhang Yong first, and asked curiously: "Why is Eunuch Zhang back again? Could something be wrong?" event?"

Zhang Yong glanced at him coldly, then nodded towards the prison and asked, "Let me ask you, where are the people in this prison?"
