Chapter 265 The mastermind Wang Xueshi was captured, and Sun Zhixie was arrested!
"Godfather! Godfather! Godfather!"
That night, due to the unbearable heat, Zhang Gui and his family members were enjoying the cool air in the atrium, when suddenly a porter came to report that Wei Zhongxian asked to see him.
Zhang Gui waved his fan and came to the study in the front yard.
Unexpectedly, when Wei Zhongxian came, he would call him godfather directly, which made him feel rather uncomfortable for a while.
But Zhang Gui didn't expect that he just casually said in front of Wei Zhongxian that Wei Zhongxian could call him godfather, but who knows, this Wei Zhongxian really didn't want his face, and he really called him godfather when he had nothing to do. .
Zhang Gui then directly asked: "What happened to Nine Thousand Years Old, and you came to find the Duke in such a hurry?"
Wei Zhongxian cried: "Tian Ergeng and Yang Huan are useless bastards. Not only did they mess up their errands, they were beheaded and hanged in Wuqiao Town. There was a notice saying that it was Hou Liu who did it. But godfather, this is something anyone can figure out, how can a bandit have such an ability to kill thousands of Jinyiwei! This is obviously caused by a rebellious party. They are not only embarrassing their son, but also Godfather, you have no face!"
Zhang Gui couldn't help being surprised when he heard this.
Although he expected that Tian Ergeng and Yang Huan might not easily arrest Kong Zhenshi and Wang Xiangchun and bring them to Beijing, he did not expect that these people would be so rampant that they would directly kill Tian Ergeng and Yang Huan.
Although Tian Ergeng and Yang Huan belong to Wei Zhongxian, they are also serious military officers of the imperial court, and they are also officials of Jinyiwei.
Just say kill and kill.
Can't be said to be insane!
Zhang Gui thought for a while and said: "It seems that they deliberately want to create a serious phenomenon of banditry in Shandong. This Kong Zhenshi has such courage!"
"Godfather, it wasn't Kong Zhenshi who did it. Kong Zhenshi had already hanged himself."
Wei Zhongxian replied.
Zhang Gui was shocked again after hearing this, and couldn't help but slapped the table for a while and said: "In this way, Kong Zhenshi should have been forced to hang himself."
"The emperor also said the same, so I came here to ask my son to ask my godfather, what should I do now? Kong Zhenshi was forced to hang himself, and the whereabouts of Wang Xiangchun, the main culprit, is unknown. But at this time, Mr. Wu Ge and the others still worry about it." Kong Zhenshi complained, Fu Que begged to see the emperor, he insisted that Kong Zhenshi was forced to death by the new policy! Now, they are trying to force Chen Huangye to suspend the new policy and order to appease Kong Zhenshi."
Wei Zhongxian replied at this time.
Zhang Gui thought for a while and said, "In that case, let me go to the palace."
Speaking, Zhang Gui ordered Liu Zongmin, who was newly promoted as the leader of the Jiading team: "Tell them, take Li Guopu and Li Ge, and they will go to the palace with the Duke to face the saint!"
Wei Zhongxian asked at this time: "Godfather, are you bringing Li Guopu?"
"He has already recruited, take him into the palace, and let him tell His Majesty the mastermind by the way."
Zhang Gui replied.
Wei Zhongxian smiled after hearing this: "Well, he is still a good godfather. Sure enough, he knew that Li Guopu didn't confess to everyone in the imperial court at first."
Not long after, Zhang Gui and Wei Zhongxian came to the Imperial Palace.
"snort!"
Wu Zongda, the cabinet minister of Xinbu, who was already in front of the imperial court, couldn't help snorting secretly when he saw Zhang Gui appearing.
In Wu Zongda’s view, Kong Zhenshi’s suicide had nothing to do with Uncle Zhang Gui. After all, if Uncle Zhang Gui hadn’t encouraged the emperor to implement the New Deal, he wouldn’t have forced his friend Kong Zhenshi to death because of his eagerness to implement the New Deal.
Xinbu cabinet minister Kong Zhenyun, as the younger brother of Kong Zhenshi, also felt this way.
So, when Zhang Gui came, Kong Zhenyun couldn't help glaring at Zhang Gui, almost wanting to swallow Zhang Gui.
Tianqi asked Zhang Gui at this time: "You know everything?"
Zhang Gui replied: "Understood."
Tianqi asked: "What do you think?"
Zhang Guidao: "Returning to Your Majesty, in my opinion, they are deliberately trying to divert the court's attention to Shandong, so as to facilitate their secret affairs."
"What are they trying to hide?"
Apocalypse asked.
Zhang Guidao: "I can only ask the mastermind. After all, even Li Ge and Li Guopu are just their pawns, and they don't know what they are going to do. This is a bit like the old temple dynasty, Gu Xiancheng and others secretly manipulated the court. Such people, On the bright side, the official rank is not high, but the secret layout is far-reaching. The intention is to secretly control the universe and act as a broker."
"It's a pity! Tian Ergeng and Yang Huan are useless, and let this mastermind escape!"
"The emperor calm down! The slaves plead guilty!"
Wei Zhongxian replied.
Zhang Gui said at this time: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing for me to see you."
"What's up?"
Apocalypse asked.
Zhang Guidao: "Elder Li Ge has already confessed, and he is willing to name another mastermind. As long as this other mastermind is caught, we will also know what their purpose is."
Tianqi nodded: "Xuan Li Guopu!"
Not long after, Li Guopu was carried to the main hall.
At this time, Li Guopu was covered in bruises, and there was not a single part of his body intact.
Tian Qi and the ministers and eunuchs present were all shocked.
Wu Zongda turned around angrily and said, "Your Majesty, I want to participate in impeachment!"
Kong Zhenyun also turned around angrily and said, "Your Majesty, I want it too!"
"Your Majesty! Please let Li Guopu tell the mastermind first, after all, Li Guopu may not last long."
Zhang Gui spoke first at this time.
Tian Qi said: "I will talk about other things later, let Li Guopu talk first."
"Your Majesty, Li Guopu has been tortured so badly, can you still believe what he said?"
Kong Zhenyun asked rhetorically at this time.
But Zhang Gui said: "Your Majesty, if Li Guopu is asking Li Guopu to attack Jiuqing, a cabinet minister who is at odds with the court, it can be said that the minister is attacking, but the mastermind Li Guopu said is not such a person, and the minister Why let him go after a petty official or an ordinary gentry who doesn't have much to do with the minister? Please learn from your Majesty!"
"Justified!"
Tianqi nodded, and asked Kong Zhenyun: "Do you think that the uncle of the country will let Li Guopu bite you? Would the uncle of the country be such a person? Would I not know if it was a bite or not?"
Kong Zhenyun could only say: "Your Majesty said so."
Therefore, Tianqi said to Li Guopu: "Li Guopu, tell me, who else is your mastermind?"
Li Guopu replied: "There is also Wang Duo, a bachelor of Nanjing Imperial Academy!"
Both Kong Zhenyun and Wu Zongda breathed a sigh of relief, and said in their hearts, "Fortunately, it really wasn't the high-ranking civil servants like me who were biting me."
But Li Guopu laughed at this time and said: "However, Your Majesty, although you asked Uncle Zhang Guo to force my ministers to confess to another Wang Xueshi, Wang Duo may have disappeared. Even if you knew, you would not be able to catch him. Yes, haha!"
Li Guopu looked at Zhang Gui and said, "Uncle Zhang Guo! You are ruthless, but so what? Do you still have clairvoyance? Take Wang Duo back. If the old man guessed correctly, I'm afraid Wang Xiangchun, you too Didn't catch it."
As he spoke, Li Guopu laughed more and more smugly.
Tianqi's face sank because of this.
"Your Majesty! Wang Duo, I have already been arrested. In addition, Wang Xiangchun and the other mastermind, Sun Zhixie, and my servants also captured these two before Eunuch Wei came to find me today."
Zhang Gui reported at this time.
Tian Qi immediately stood up and looked at Zhang Gui: "Really?!"
Zhang Guidao: "How dare the minister deceive the king!"
"How can this be?!"
Li Guopu could not believe it.
Tian Qi immediately said: "Xuan!"
So, not long after, Wang Duo, Wang Xiangchun, and Sun Zhixie were brought up.
Li Guopu was shocked when he saw Wang Duo, and he understood it instantly, and looked at Zhang Gui: "Uncle Zhang Guo, you turned out that Wang Duo was the mastermind behind the scenes, so why do you still want to judge the old man severely?!"
Tian Qi also said: "Answer him."
