Chapter 563: What are allies, what are relatives and friends?

Lu Feng's house outside the palace is located on the east side of Weijia Hutong in Xicheng, only five or six alleys away from Wu'anhou Hutong. Most of the people in this area are nobles, and it is extremely difficult to acquire a piece of land to build a house, so the one who originally gave it to him

It can be said that the businessman has invested a lot of money. Although it cannot be like the three-bay five-bay gate like the Gonghou Bo Mansion, and there is a Yimen inside a Yimen and a courtyard within a courtyard, the regulations are not enough, and the people who built the houses must have put more thought into it.

, when it was built, it imitated the Jiangnan water town gardens and introduced a running water into it. Lu Feng naturally liked it very much.

But if he likes it, he usually only stores the gold and silver antiques and land deeds he received here. He doesn't often live outside. After all, several real eunuchs above him don't dare to show it, so he even more

He didn't dare to be too indulgent, but as long as he got the chance, he would enjoy the blessings. However, at this moment, he had no intention of looking at the luxurious furnishings in the room. The body that was originally leaning on the couch had unknowingly sat down.

It was straight, but the hands and feet were completely stiff.

"You...you mean, Liu Yongcheng sent someone to deliver a letter to the prince, but our family sent someone to intercept it?" After recovering from the shock, he punched the armrest without even thinking, and shouted loudly

He yelled, "Our family is not crazy, how could we do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit ourselves! We really can't stand that old guy Liu Yongcheng, and we really want to bring him down, but how could our family be so stupid as to use this method?"

Find a way! If His Highness the Crown Prince finds out, isn't this asking for death?"

"I heard the conversation between those two guys in the camp at that time. They said clearly that the Jinyi Guards would send people to intercept the messenger in Kaiping." Seeing that Lu Feng was sweating profusely with anxiety, Zhang Yue said

When he felt that he had teased enough, he smiled slightly and said, "Of course I don't think that person is you, Eunuch Lu. After all, you gave me the background first, but others may not see it that way. You will suffer a heat stroke."

After more than a month, others will definitely think that you are taking advantage of your illness to cause trouble."

"Damn it, if our family...if we knew which little brat was plotting the plot, we would have to chop him up!"

After swearing a few words, Lu Feng finally couldn't bear the panic in his heart and leaned back unconsciously. This mother-of-pearl couch with snails and pear flowers was given to him by a businessman during the Chinese New Year when he begged him to tell Zhang Qian to clear the joint. It was painted

The craftsmanship was extremely exquisite, but at this moment, he was unconsciously scraping the paint on the armrest with his long nails, and his breathing became heavier.

"No wonder the master said some inexplicable and strange words when he came to visit the patient last time. Our minds were so confused at that time that we didn't understand anything, but it turns out that others were already suspicious of our family at that time! Okay!

, It’s really great. Our family has raised so many people, but in the end they were poisoned by our own people. Unfortunately, our family thought they were the number one person in the palace now!”

Zhang Yue was naturally not surprised that Lu Feng had identified the poisoning. Yuan Fang's Jinyiwei was very efficient. It took only a few days to find out that there was something wrong with the medicine residue that Lu Feng took, which was enough to make people dizzy and unable to recover.

.Think about the emperor's northern expedition, from outside the Great Wall to the capital via Kaiping, and the people who can do certain things openly are Dongchang and Jinyiwei. It's no wonder that others want to frame this guy. When Lu Feng lost his temper enough, he

He stood up.

"Since you just said you didn't know that Dongchang had arrested such a messenger, then things will be much more difficult to handle. I'm afraid that even if you can go to Dongchang to preside over it now, others can continue to hide this matter from you. You know, in Dongchang

The people in Jinyiwei are just embellishments. It’s true that you are the governor, but you still use several other father-in-laws. If they don’t listen to you..."

"No, Master Xiao Zhang, don't think that our family really has no defense at all if we are in trouble this time!" Yuan Fang was embarrassed to say that he had transferred Yuan Fang to Lijing, and temporarily left Mu Ning unused, just for the sake of

Being able to completely control these two major institutions in his own hands, he snorted fiercely, and then said with a straight face, "With Yuan Fang here, our Jinyiwei family can take command immediately, and that Mu Ning only listens to our family."

.Those dead eunuchs..."

He felt that he was being scolded at the same time, so he made a sound, and then said with a smile: "They were promoted in the palace just like our family, how can they be so easy to eat outside?

They can only bribe a few people, so our family just needs to spend more money and investigate through the Jin Yiwei to see who really dares to betray our family!"

"This is a way." Zhang Yue nodded in agreement, and then added fuel to the fire, "Eunuch Lu, you are still recovering from your poison, so you are recuperating outside before the emperor comes back. After all, this matter must not be done.

Zhang Yang, if people know about it, it will cause uproar in the city, and others will think you have no means."

"That's what Master Xiao Zhang said!"

Lu Feng, who had just regained some face, became furious again. He nodded heavily without thinking, and his eyes showed a bit of fierceness. Compared with revenge or revenge, the most important thing is to take good care of his body.

He must not make any mistakes. Otherwise, if he comes back with revenge but is dead, wouldn't he be even more unlucky?

After talking about the most important business, Zhang Yue smiled and asked Lu Feng for the prescription, saying that he would go home and give his wife and sister a good look. Others didn't know this, but Lu Feng knew that Zhang Yue's wife and sister were the second best, but

There is still a former imperial doctor hiding in the Zhang family. He originally planned to ask someone to take a look at it, but now that Zhang Yue mentioned it, he immediately decided to do it. Now he has to worry more, if he is poisoned

The matter had spread, and people would laugh at it, and the position might not be saved. Remembering that Cheng Jiu had mentioned Zhang Yue's assassination in Jimingyi a few days ago, he decided to return a favor first.

"Master Xiao Zhang, I have been in the palace since I was a child. Apart from my master, I have no real close friends in my life. I never expected to meet someone as generous as you! You saved me when life and death were at stake, and you helped me when I was at the end of my rope.

Now this is another critical juncture, and it’s you who gave me a hand again!”

With this excitement, Lu Feng immediately forgot about those claims of being the parent of the family, and his tone was even more sincere: "I used to think you were too soft-hearted sometimes, but now we understand.

That’s because you’re a sentimental person! Don’t worry, no matter which prince or nobleman is behind the scenes, I will definitely send someone to get to the bottom of what happened at Jimingyi and give you an explanation!”

Zhang Yue didn't originally have this intention, but since Lu Feng said it categorically, he naturally would not refuse, and immediately nodded and said: "Well, if we don't say thank you for our friendship, I can't be here.

Stay here for a while. I will go back now. You are about to be raised well. I will send someone to give you a reply after reading the prescription. In addition, outside the palace is not as good as inside the palace. You need to pay more attention to your diet. If you wait until you are healthy, you will be in the palace.

When someone comes to visit..."

"Aren't you just going to keep pretending?" Lu Feng smiled sinisterly, and then narrowed his eyes, "They will eventually know that if they want to take advantage of our family, in the end they will steal a chicken but lose a handful of rice!"

After Zhang Yue left for a while, Lu Feng grabbed the bell next to him and rang it twice. Seeing Liang Ming enter in response, he was silent for a moment and then ordered: "Pick out ten or eight reliable ones."

People, keep an eye on everyone in our family. Remember, just like Jin Yiwei keeps an eye on all officials and Dongchang keeps an eye on Jin Yiwei, no one can be left out. Our family only trusts you at the moment. If you behave well this time, we will definitely do it later.

Report to the Emperor and appoint you a better position in Dongchang!"

After making this promise, he saw Liang Ming's face turn red, and the thumping of his footsteps when he left the room showed a kind of excitement that could not be concealed. He was the only one left in the empty room, and he suddenly supported

He sat in the middle of the pear-shaped couch and felt the feeling of being unable to rely on anyone. After a long while, he murmured to himself: "No wonder the emperor is alone and doesn't believe anyone. It turns out that everyone in this world is a lie."

You can only rely on yourself, and only you are the most reliable!"

After returning for more than ten days, Zhang Yuetou was busy checking the account books of the Food Supervision and Transportation Department. He also made two trips to the Ordnance Bureau and the Military War Department. He only took time to visit a few relatives, friends and elders, but most of the time he visited them.

on all kinds of things. When he left the Lu family house, Zhang Yue thought of the countless lies he had said today, and smiled bitterly when he got on his horse. No matter how many times they cooperated, he and Lu Feng could only just

Allies can never be reconciled.

Once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years, that guy will probably start to rectify the people around him now, right?

Due to time constraints, although I went to Du's house once, I came and went in a hurry. Zhang Yuezao planned to go to Du's house before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Du Wan went there early in the morning. Anyway,

Listening to the teachings of my father-in-law, trying my mother-in-law's craftsmanship, and teasing Xiao Wu, who has just begun to fall in love, the unpleasantness of this conspiracy will soon be gone. However, just after crossing the west

On the fourth archway, he saw an acquaintance face to face. He was stunned for a moment, and he immediately walked forward with a smile and patted his horse. The man opposite also drove the little donkey and approached, and the two of them spoke almost at the same time.

"Brother Xiaoqi!"

"Yuanjie!"

After not seeing each other for more than a year, Zhang Yue discovered the earth-shaking changes in Gu Bin. The previously aloof and autistic young man now gave people a very different feeling. Although the clothes on his body were only half-old green shirts,

But it was washed extremely clean. Riding on that inconspicuous little braying donkey, Gu Bin's waist was straight and there was a confident smile on his face.

"Brother Xiao Qi, is this day off today?"

"I'm not as lucky as you!" Gu Bin patted the baggage in front of him, and then said with a smile, "President Liu is on leave today. These are important official documents from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so I sent them to them.

Give it to him."

Even though it was such a trivial thing, he did not hesitate when he said it and was very generous. Seeing Zhang Yue tilting his head and looking at him with interest, he glared back angrily: "

After following Mr. Yang for so long, I finally learned something. Although I am not as good as those Jinshi students, and I have to train for at least three years before I can officially enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but I have already figured it out. I will study hard first and participate in the next year.

If you succeed in the Provincial Examination, you will take the National Examination the year after next. Unlike you, it is more important to lay a solid foundation now, and the future will be long!"

Knowing that this was the other person's ambition, Zhang Yue naturally would not ask silly questions like "Why do you still need to take the exam when you can already be an official?" He nodded and asked: "Then your parents have taken over now?"

"Well, I saved a lot of rice from the Imperial College. In addition, my husband helped me rent a house, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate also gave me some money and food subsidies. The family's expenses are more than enough. Speaking of which, my father is always talking about you.

, if you have some free time, remember to come to my house and sit for a while, I remember that you liked the noodles made by my mother the most."

Zhang Yue immediately agreed to the invitation. While the two were talking, they moved to the side of the road and chatted for a few more words. Zhang Yue knew that Gu Bin had official duties and could not waste too much time, so he urged

He asked him to leave quickly. Gu Bin pulled the reins of the donkey and suddenly stopped.

"You should know about your impeachment before. I don't want to say anything else. I just want to remind you. Not being jealous is a mediocre person. Besides, not all impeachments are bad things. Not everyone in the Metropolitan Procuratorate is favored by good names.

"Senior, there are some people who are upright. However, you should be more careful in your actions. After all, it is not a good thing to keep provoking the censor."

Although Gu Bin did not mention him by name, how could Zhang Yue not understand this kind reminder and immediately thanked him. When he flicked the reins and continued to move forward, he couldn't help but think of Zuo Du Yushi, who is now in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Liu Guan.

Liu Guan can be regarded as a roly-poly in the political arena. He was a Jinshi in the 18th year of Hongwu. In the early years of Yongle, he served as the left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He dealt with Chen Ying and Wuzhong. As a result, Chen Ying was imprisoned and died, and Wuzhong

The person who was transferred to the Ministry of Punishment is now in prison, but this person is not a humiliating person. He was transferred from the Ministry of Rites to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment all the way to the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Although there were hardships, he was able to overcome all the hurdles.

.It’s just that a certain person has a reputation for being desperate for money, which has brought a lot of trouble to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Yang Rong got Gu Bin into the Metropolitan Procuratorate to learn how to walk. Could it be that he was preparing a move for the future?

As he was thinking about it, he was walking a little absent-mindedly. Fortunately, the road to Du's house was almost imprinted in his heart, so he turned when he should turn and went straight when he should go straight, without any mistakes. When he turned into the familiar road

While walking in the alley, he suddenly felt someone stopping his horse. When he looked up, he recognized the angry man in front of him.

"Yuan Jie, it's all the good deeds you did!" Wan Shijie stared at Zhang Yue with an expression of gritted teeth, "What did you say to Xiao Wu? Now I can't even touch her shadow! Also,

Yue... Mr. Du has been indifferent to me these past few days, and even Aunt Du seems to be avoiding me on purpose. Last time you promised me to ask your father to help me propose marriage after returning to Beijing, but now your father has returned to Nanjing.

What should I do? I'm six years older than you, don't forget about me as your friend when you get married!"

Facing the frustrated Wanshijie, Zhang Yue couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Thinking of Xiaowu's blushing face yesterday, he looked at Wanshijie thoughtfully for a while, then narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I'd rather choose another day.
