My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 166 There are one hundred and sixty-six chapters: there is no doubt about death

   Cui Yihong repeated in her mouth.

  Zhang Anshi was dumbfounded.

  He has long heard of Jin Yiwei's methods.

  But today is the real insight.

  This kind of close experience is extremely rare.

   After all, Zhang Anshi has been a human being for two lifetimes, and I have never seen one person like Cui Yihong.

  Just Ji Gang at this moment, his mood is completely different.

  Originally everything was planned very carefully.

  The witnesses and physical evidence are very solid.

  Even this Cui Yihong seemed a little out of order, but it can also be inferred that this is because he is afraid of crime. After all, he has personally admitted that it is understandable for such a big crime to be out of order.

   As for the so-called rebellious party, Ji Gang actually doesn’t care. The rebellious party just catches them slowly, can they still escape?

  Furthermore, if we really want to wipe out these rebels, what else does Jin Yiwei need to do?

  When Emperor Taizu Gao was here, didn’t he use Jin Yiwei to set off many big cases?

   But so what? When Emperor Taizu Gao's goals are all eradicated, didn't he just remove Jin Yiwei with his backhand?

  For Ji Gang, Jin Yiwei is everything to him, which must never be lost.

  He understands Zhu Di's temperament too well.

   At this moment, he lowered his head and knelt on the ground in fear, with a sad look on his face.

  Zhu Di stared at Ji Gang, but said in a calm manner: "In this way, Cui Yihong...has been wronged?"

  Ji Gang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty...the minister...the minister thinks that Cui Yihong is... quite strange."

  Zhu Di said: "What's wrong?"

   "In the confession, there are quite a few... he talked nonsense to people."

  Zhu Di narrowed his eyes; "So, he became a rebel?"

"I... I am guilty of death." Ji Gang's body was like a sieve, and his body trembled even more. He continued: "I heard that there is a rebellious party. Your Majesty... will definitely... pay special attention to it. I am eager to make contributions... so I was too hasty in handling the case. ..."

  Zhu Di said quietly: "Is it just too hasty?"

Ji Gang kowtowed, knocking his head against the tiles on the ground again and again, and suddenly...his head was bleeding, as if he couldn't feel the slightest pain, he said in a trembling voice: "It's just...it's just too hasty, I have a death sentence Sin, I implore Your Majesty... to come down."

  Zhu Di said lightly: "Such a big matter... we can't just let it go."

With a tired expression on his face, he continued: "This is the crime of deceiving the emperor. Either you, Ji Gang, are guilty, or the people under you are deceiving your superiors and subordinates. You are the commander of Jin Yiwei, and you can't even handle such small things well. Why do you want me to do that?" use it?"

  After hearing this, Ji Gang shivered. He seemed to have heard the implication, and hurriedly said: "Chen... If you want to investigate this matter, you must thoroughly investigate it to the end."

  Zhu Di waved his hand, but ignored Ji Gang, instead turned his head to look at Cui Yihong, with a mean look, wishing to bend his head under his crotch and look down at Cui Yihong and Zhu Yong.

  Zhu Di said: "Zhang Anshi has made great achievements in arresting the chaotic party, but Zhang Qing should be thanked. Chen Wenjun, this person, Qixia will be taken into custody first, and I will hand over to you guys for a quick interrogation. This case is of great importance, and the truth must come to light."

  Zhang Anshi said: "I...obey the order."

  Zhu Di didn't say anything, waved to everyone, turned around and left.

   Liu Yongcheng quickly chased after him.

  In the temple.

  Ji Gang looked frustrated, he stood up in a hurry, ignored no one, didn't say anything, and left in a hurry.

  Zhang Anshi led Zhu Yong and the others towards Jin Zhong, greeted him with a smile and said, "Thank you Jinbutang."

  Jin Zhong smiled, but glanced at Xie Jin and the others not far away.

   Xie Jin's face was a little ugly, as if he wanted to appear that he was not so embarrassed, so he deliberately talked and laughed with others.

  Jin Zhongdao: "Thank you, what is there to thank, all of which are for His Majesty."

  Zhang Anshi and Jin Zhong came out of the hall together, but they looked around and said in a low voice: "I want to ask, does Jinbutang still measure fortune-telling now?"

   "This..." Jin Zhong looked at him inexplicably and said, "Occasionally."

  Zhang Anshidao: "I've had bad luck recently, why don't Jinbutang do the math for me."

  Jin Zhongdao: "This is easy to say...in a few days..."

  Before Jin Zhong finished speaking, Zhang Anshi immediately asked, "How much?"

  Jin Zhong shook his head: "As Marquis Annan, of course he doesn't need money."

  Zhang Anshi also shook his head and said, "It can't be like this. If you don't accept money, I feel uneasy. Do you want to make a price, one hundred taels, or ten taels?"

   Jin Zhong seemed a little helpless, and finally said: "Then ten taels."

  Zhang Anshi said in surprise: "Twelve taels once, it's too cheap, then count it a thousand times for me. I'll write you a thousand-character article when I go back, and you count them one by one, don't worry."

   "This..." Jin Zhongdao: "I can't make it, I can't make it... Marquis Annan, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, so how can you speak well?"

  Zhang Anshi said very seriously: "It's just fortune-telling, it's a business."

   "Jin doesn't do business." Jin Zhong said with a smile.

  Zhang Anshi smiled sheepishly, then angrily took Zhu Yong and escorted Chen Wenjun out of the palace.

  As soon as he arrived outside the palace, he saw hundreds of people from the model battalion waiting in full armor. Zhang Anshi still attached great importance to safety. Now, let the model battalion form a circle with himself and Chen Wenjun as the center.

  Just this way, Zhang Anshi cursed: "Wonderful, too wicked, this is a shameless thing that requires money."

  Zhu Yong was very puzzled and said: "Brother, who are you scolding?"

Zhang Anshi said angrily: "I scolded that bald donkey. This guy took my kickback. If he hadn't dealt with Jin Butang himself, he would know that he doesn't like money, and he wouldn't know that that bald donkey took my price difference." Woolen cloth."

  Zhu Yong scratched his head, and seemed to think that this matter was a bit complicated. Should he think about such things related to complexity?

  ...

  At this time, Zhu Di drove to the small hall.

  After taking his seat, he picked up the teacup on the imperial table and took a sip of tea. At this time, Zhu Di didn't show any anger on his face.

   Instead, calmly said to Liu Yongcheng who came along: "Is Yi Shiha cured?"

  Liu Yongcheng said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I will ask you, servant."

   After a while, Yishiha came, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty..."

  Zhu Di took a meaningful look at Yi Shiha: "Have you heard what happened today?"

  Yi Shiha said: "I dare not hide this from Your Majesty, I have already found out."

  Zhu Di calmly said: "What do you think?"

  Yi Shiha said without hesitation: "The Marquis of Annan, Dacai, this case of disorderly party should be dealt with by Marquis Annan. He and His Majesty share weal and woe, and we should do our best."

  Zhu Di hummed.

Yishiha then said again: "As for Commander Ji...Jin Yiwei made some mistakes, but the servant thinks that Commander Ji also made a lot of contributions during the time of Jingnan. ..."

   "I understand what you mean." Zhu Di smiled lightly and said, "I have asked Ji Gang to thoroughly investigate this injustice case. The people in the palace were wronged by their Jin Yiwei, how can we just let it go?"

  Yi Shiha said gratefully: "Your Majesty loves these servants, servants, etc. I am really grateful."

"Take good care of your illness." Zhu Di said lightly, "As for this Qin case, it is no small matter. What Chen Wenjun said is shocking. My Ming Dynasty expelled the Tartars, and Emperor Taizu Gao took over the world with a cloth. This is unprecedented in China. It's just that I didn't realize it, some people miss the previous dynasty, and they dare to make weapons privately to plot against."

   "Who were their weapons made for? How many people are there to cover for Chen Wenjun? Who is the person behind Chen Wenjun? All these things make people sleepless."

   Talking...

  Zhu Di stood up, with a look of apprehension on his face: "Pass down my decree, let Zhang Anshi step up and strictly deal with it."

  Yi Shiha said goodbye and came out, but Liu Yongcheng was impatient, so he also borrowed a room to leave the hall.

Hastily chasing after him, he said angrily: "Grandpa, grandpa, what time is it, my godson has become like that now, why are you still speaking for Ji Gang at this time? Hey... this Ji Gang has been bullied!" We're on top..."

  Yi Shiha smiled calmly, patted Liu Yongcheng on the shoulder and said, "Ji Gang must die."

   "What?" Liu Yongcheng looked at Yi Shiha in surprise.

  Yi Shiha said without hesitation: "Your Majesty only loves military affairs, so government affairs are gradually left to the cabinet, and also to the prince. As for the Jinyiwei... it is thrown to Ji Gang..."

After a pause, he continued: "Back then, the Jinyiwei was just under construction, and the Jinyiwei was nothing more than minions. His Majesty only used them as a tool to scout for news, but Ji Gang still has the ability. The case, step by step to install his cronies, he not only established the Jinyiwei, but the Jinyiwei has become more and more popular."

  Liu Yongcheng looked puzzled and said: "What does it have to do with these?"

Yi Shiha said in a leisurely manner: "Actually, Your Majesty has already come to terms with it, and he feels more and more that the Jinyiwei is very important, so we understand His Majesty's mind, and hope that His Majesty can also set up a yamen in the palace to supervise the Jinyiwei." Your Majesty also has such considerations, of course, no one thought that Ji Gang would dare to fight back at this time."

   Liu Yongcheng said: "Since this is the case, why don't your majesty take this opportunity to completely kill Ji Gang..."

Yi Shiha said: "Your Majesty likes to cut through messes quickly when doing small things. But when His Majesty does big things, he is very careful. Jin Yiwei hides too many secrets and involves too many things. Not to mention other things, just the staff of Jin Yiwei , now there are 20,000 people, what His Majesty wants is Ji Gang's life, but in the same way, Jin Yiwei still needs to serve His Majesty."

   Liu Yongcheng frowned and said, "We still don't understand."

   "Keep Ji Gang founded Jinyiwei, and placed so many people there, this North and South Town Fusi, inside and out, who is not his Ji Gang..."

Yi Shiha gave Liu Yongcheng a meaningful look, and then said: "So, what we are most worried about is... Your Majesty punishing Ji Gang today, because with his contribution to Jing Nan, at most... he is just dismissed from his official position. But once His Majesty returns Keep this person...then Ji Gang will definitely die. Because what His Majesty has to do now is to remove Ji Gang's wings."

   Liu Yongcheng said with a bitter face: "We still don't understand."

  Yi Shiha glared at Liu Yongcheng: "Have you ever eaten chicken?"

  Liu Yongcheng nodded.

  Yi Shiha said: "If you want to eat a chicken, you must kill it. What should you do before killing the chicken?"

  Liu Yongcheng thought for a while, then said: "Raise chickens."

  Yi Shiha was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood: "Pluck the chicken before killing it."

   "Plucking hair?" Liu Yongcheng read these two words, then his eyes opened suddenly, and then he said: "Understood, understood! You should have said it earlier."

  Yi Shiha: "..."

But today I was in a good mood, and quickly smiled again, saying: "Anyway, this time, it is thanks to that Zhang Anshi, without that Zhang Anshi... we have to suffer a dull loss, haha... this kid is getting more and more interesting It is indeed worthy of being raised by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

  Liu Yongcheng also nodded and said: "This guy is really, he can really catch the rebellious party."

  Yi Shiha said: "However... this is the first step. It is still unknown whether these chaotic parties can be wiped out. Hey... I don't understand what these chaotic parties think."

   As he spoke, he shook his head, and after a long sigh: "Then Cui Yihong, send him to Xiaoling, and find someone with a wink to serve him. He is finished, what a pity."

  Liu Yongcheng became angry immediately, gnashing his teeth and said: "We are the eighteenth generation of his ancestors."

  Yi Shiha didn't grit his teeth and yell and curse together. As an eunuch, he knew better than anyone else that a born slave like him was not qualified to yell casually.

  ...

   On the other side, Ji Gang returned to Beizhen Fusi, still in shock. At this time, he was desperately thinking about the reaction of His Majesty in front of the imperial court today.

  Ji Gang doesn't care about other people at all, the only thing he cares about is His Majesty's thoughts.

  He knows better than anyone else that if he is a little careless, he will be doomed.

  After thinking for a moment, he let out a long sigh, and said to the people around him: "Call my colleague Liu Yong to see you."

   "Here."

The Commander of Jinyiwei envoys fellow acquaintance Liu Yong to come in. It seems that he has also learned the news. This Liu Yong became brothers with Ji Gang in the early years, and under Ji Gang's repeated arrangements, he is now under one person in Jinyiwei, with tens of thousands of people. people above.

   "Brother..."

  Ji Gang looked up at Liu Yong, and instead of talking to him with a straight face like before, he said kindly: "Sit down, your mother's illness is better now?"

   Liu Yong said: "I took the medicine, and I got better."

   "I heard that she was not in good health, and I was also very anxious. I always wanted to inquire, but you know the situation in Weili these few days, and you really can't get away."

  Liu Yongdao: "Brother has a lot of things to do every day, but there is nothing I can do. My mother is also talking about my brother."

  Ji Gang smiled, lowered his head and sipped his tea, and then said: "And your son, I thought about it, he is in Weili now, and he has almost experienced it, so he should be added to a hundred households."

   Liu Yong's face became serious: "Brother...what's wrong with you..."

  Ji Gang looked up at Liu Yong and said, "You already know the matter, right?"

   "Know a little bit."

Ji Gang sighed: "Hey... now His Majesty wants to investigate this matter, such a big case, Jin Yiwei... who can afford such a big relationship, Cui Yihong is a member of the palace, if you don't give Your Majesty an explanation, we Brother... don't say that in the future, you will still call the wind and call for the rain like before, I am afraid that your life will be in danger in the future."

   Liu Yongdao: "Then Zhao Qianhu has never dealt with us..."

  Ji Gang shook his head: "A mere thousand households, can you afford it? If you report it like this, will your majesty believe it? You know your majesty's temperament, once you get serious..."

   Liu Yong's face became extremely tangled: "Brother... When we were in Jingnan, we were soldiers under His Majesty's account. I lived and died with you, we...we..."

"I know all of this." Ji Gang said softly: "I still remember that I was wounded by a knife on my arm. I watched the wound fester, and I couldn't survive. It was you who carried me all the way and moved with the army. The army You can walk forty miles a day, all of which are carried by your two legs."

   Liu Yong burst into tears: "Can we think of other ways?"

   Ji Gang said: "Your mother is my mother, and your son is my son."

  Liu Yong sat slumped on the chair. He wanted to sneer, but he couldn't laugh when he looked at the elder brother who had been taking care of him.

  I just felt chills all over my body, but Ji Gang in front of me was surprisingly calm: "You will help me for the last time."

  Liu Yong's lips trembled: "What do you want me to do?"

  Ji Gang said slowly: "You can commit suicide in fear of crime, and then all the ties will be pushed to your head."

   Liu Yong said with a pale face: "I'm dead... can the matter be resolved?"

   "You are the commander of the Jinyiwei, and you are the top three figures in the Jinyiwei. When this matter comes to you, His Majesty should be satisfied, and the debt of death will be eliminated."

   Liu Yong smiled wryly: "I..."

   But before he could continue, Ji Gang stood up, with a cold expression on his face, and said indifferently: "Come on, send Liu Tongzhi on his way."

  As soon as this remark was made, several captains rushed out from the side room.

   Immediately, someone took the rope and appeared behind Liu Yong.

  Liu Yong wanted to struggle, but he was restrained, unable to move at all.

  The next moment, the rope was wrapped around his neck, Liu Yong's body twitched continuously, his eyes were wide open, his mouth opened wide, and he made a sound of "Uh uh... uh uh...".

  Until his head tilted and his pupils began to dilate.

   But the captain who strangled him behind him was still strangling him tightly.

  Ji Gang glanced at Liu Yong's corpse on the ground, and said without sadness or joy: "Let's hang it in his public room."

"Yes."

   Several people dragged Liu Yong's body and left.

   Not long after, a scribe came in and said in a low voice, "It's been dealt with."

   "Yes." Ji Gang replied with his hands behind his back.

  The clerk said: "Students, prepare your confession now. Everything is ordered by Liu Yong. Liu Yong's confidantes, several lieutenants, and Qianhu and Baihu... have already sent people to arrest them."

   "Yes." Ji Gang nodded, and then said: "Don't miss one person, there are also those who are responsible for torture and interrogation of Cui Yihong...including the scribe who is in charge of recording."

   "Yes, over there... everything has been done."

   "Go."

   "The student has gone." The scribe trembled, and after replying in a trembling voice, he exited cautiously.

   Just before going out, Ji Gang suddenly said: "Come back."

  The scribe stopped quickly, turned around and bowed down, "What else can the governor want?"

  Ji Gang said indifferently: "Is Liu Yong's son Liu Yingwu doing business in the Qianhu Office in the west of the city?"

"Yes."

   "Take him too."

  The scribe looked up in astonishment: "But...but this is Liu Tongzhi's only son."

  Ji Gang said coldly: "Keep him, he thinks his father died strangely, what should we do if he talks nonsense everywhere? He probably knows many things about me and his father, so he can't keep him."

  The scribe pursed his lips, finally nodded and said, "Student... the student understands."

  Ji Gang calmly said: "Things should be more straightforward."

"Yes."

  Ji Gang sat down again, watched the scribe go away, then lowered his head, picked up a copy of the secret note sent on the copybook, and looked down carefully.

  He has no expression on his face. For him, the most urgent task right now is to give His Majesty a satisfactory explanation.

   For this, everything is worth it.

  After reading one by one, he said as usual: "Call all the brothers to discuss the matter."

   Soon, inside Jinyiwei, another co-prefect, and two commanders and envoys, besides this, there are also Nanbei Town Fusi Zhenfu, as well as several important thousands of households, all came to see.

  Everyone saluted Ji Gang. These people were all promoted by Ji Gang, and they were all called brothers on weekdays.

  Ji Gang said casually: "You know what happened, Second Brother Liu committed suicide."

  He raised his head and watched the reactions of the brothers.

  These people... were all expressionless, but Ji Gang seemed to be able to sense that the bodies hidden under their official robes were trembling.

Ji Gang said: "Let's all sit down and talk about continuing to arrest the rebellious party. This time...we must catch the rebellious party faster than Qixia's. rise."

  Everyone sat down tremblingly, their faces turned pale. The process of the meeting was terribly weird, as if it was the Hall of Yama.

  After roughly explaining, Ji Gang stood up and said with a smile: "Anyway, Second Brother Liu is also our old brother. After some time, let's all pay homage to him. We are all brothers. At this moment, we should help each other in the same boat."

"Yes."

   Several Tongzhi, Qianshi, Zhenfu, and Qianhu resigned in despair, and no one dared to speak.

  Only at this time, a Tiqi came in a hurry.

   This Tiqi was born on the face, but Qianhu from the Qianhu Office in the west city recognized him, and said to him, "What's the matter, why are you here?"

This Tiqi belonged to the Qianhu House in Xicheng. When he saw his Qianhu, he hurriedly saluted and said in a low voice: "Back to Qianhu, Liu Yingwu, the chief banner officer of Xicheng, just accidentally fell into the water and died. I am here to report to you. .”

   Suddenly, the hall became eerily quiet, and a needle could be heard.

  ...

  A report was quickly delivered to Zhu Di.

  Zhu Di only glanced at it briefly, then threw it to Yi Shi who was waiting for him.

After Yi Shiha looked at it, he said with a dry smile: "Your Majesty, it turned out that it was this fellow acquaintance Liu Yong who framed Cui Yihong. He was so courageous. It's a pity that he had the courage to do this, but he didn't have the courage to take it. He committed suicide and died. What a pity."

Zhu Di seemed to have known this would be the result, and said: "In my opinion, there will not be only one Jinyiwei commander and Tongzhi. You can ask someone to tell Ji Gang and ask him... who are the followers of this Tongzhi, and who are they?" People participated in the frame, how can such a big matter be closed with a colleague? It's just absurd."

  Yi Shiha nodded and said: "Young servant will send someone to send a message to Commander Ji later."

Zhu Di said: "I see that he has worked very hard these past few days. Give him some nourishing things. The last time I saw him in the palace, he was very haggard. He is Jing Nan's hero, not to mention...he is my relative. Bing, now it’s a rebellious party, and someone in Jinyiwei framed Zhongliang, and his command makes... not easy.”

  Yi Shiha hurriedly said: "The servant will make proper arrangements."

  Zhu Di nodded: "That's good."

  Zhu Di has been in a very gloomy mood for the past few days. I heard that in Da Nei, even the king of Yi was picked up and beaten by Zhu Di.

   King Yi is the youngest son of Emperor Taizu Gao, and Zhu Di’s younger brother who has been raised in the palace for several years. He has always been kind to King Yi on weekdays, but now he has also suffered disaster.

  So Yi Shiha was extra careful.

  At this time, Zhu Di said, "Let's drive."

  Yi Shiha said cautiously: "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"

  Zhu Di said: "I have been dreaming for the past few days. In my dream, I saw Chen Wenjun, berating Emperor Gaozu and me..."

   Speaking of this, Zhu Di's eyes were slightly red.

   This time, he was hurt very much. It can be said that Zhu Di broke the defense directly.

"I'm thinking... Emperor Taizu Gao... such a man who stands up to the sky and made such great achievements..." He shook his head, and continued: "I will never be as good as Emperor Taizu Gao. I can learn from him It's hard to get a little fur, could it be...the achievements of Emperor Taizu Gao and Zhen are so unbearable in the eyes of people like Chen Wenjun."

  Yi Shiha hurriedly comforted and said: "This is the remnant of the chaotic party, why should your majesty take it to heart?"

  Zhu Di said in a loud voice: "How can you not take it to heart? Don't talk about it. Let me show you off. Let me go and see how Zhang Anshi's trial is going, and then look at this Chen Wenjun...what is he talking about?"

   After finishing speaking, Zhu Di gritted his teeth, showing a look of incomparable hatred.

   An hour and a half later.

  Zhu Di came to Qixia.

Here... Zhu Di discovered that Zhang Anshi had built a mansion. This mansion had obviously undergone special repairs. The walls were very high and there were many sentry posts. The battalion can immediately rush to help.

  At the entrance of this mansion, there is a huge sign hanging on it, which reads: "Smoking is strictly prohibited."

   Apparently... this sign looks like a specific warning for someone.

   Zhang Anshi, who had received the news earlier, came out to welcome Zhu Di in person.

Accompanied by Zhu Di's side, he said enthusiastically: "Your Majesty... look at the layout here, it all cost money, all the walls are made of bricks, and the prison cell over there, I let someone pour it iron plate."

   Zhu Di just said at this time: "How is the trial going?"

  Zhang Anshi then said: "There are already plans, and this is mainly due to the contributions of the brothers."

  Zhu Di immediately became interested. He attached great importance to this case, but until now, except for Chen Wenjun, he still knew nothing about these rebellious parties.
