Chapter 020 Secret Letter
Chen time.
The Jiedushi Yan Xiufu's mansion brought Zhang Hong's colour to the house, and the servants and servants were busy with the birthday banquet of Yan Gong, which was about to begin.
This is a major event in the Ziqing vassal towns and Qingzhou City, and it started preparations a few days ago.
Geng Lu wore a casual robe and hurried into the flower hall of the Yan Mansion's house, looking ashamed.
He bowed to Yan Xiufu's feet: "I will be incompetent, and I will be punished by all the crimes, so please punish me!"
Yan Xiufu frowned. Seeing Geng Lu like this, there was naturally no good news.
"Okay, in other words, get up and talk."
"Envoy, Mo Jiang sent someone to catch up with the thief's carriage and horse, and could have captured the thief secretly. As a result, the driver was suddenly. The driver was actually a killer in the world. He took advantage of the chaos to stab the thief to death and escape. The envoy must be from the Zhu family, and Mo Jiang had already sent someone to chase and search."
Yan Xiufu was annoyed and said to himself that you are not nonsense. Isn’t it the Zhu Teng school’s people the same?
Geng Lu was ashamed. He didn't expect that he would send more than 100 strong soldiers to catch a little eunuch with no power to tie a chicken, and it would make a mistake.
"Has the identity of the eunuch thief been confirmed? Can evidence of Zhu Teng colluding with the eunuch party be found from the objects he carries?" Yan Xiufu picked up the green-glazed tea cup on his desk and took a sip.
This is actually what he cares about.
"This eunuch is a deacon and eunuch from the Escort Province, named Yu Shihong. Two chariots and horses were loaded with Nuoduo's property. It must be the generous gift from Zhu Teng to Qiu Shiliang. However, I will search this secret letter from it, and please let me check it out."
Geng Lu handed over a secret letter.
Yan Xiufu opened up and down and looked carefully, with a strange expression.
According to conventional logic, this secret letter found from eunuch Yu Shihong must be a specific joint plan between Zhu Teng and the eunuch party, or Zhu Teng's conspiracy to Qiu Shiliang's eunuch group, which is also reasonable.
but--
Yan Xiufu was silent for a moment before handing the secret letter to Song Ji who had been waiting for a long time. Song Ji only glanced at him and immediately gasped.
So stupid.
This is actually a righteous letter, signed by Zhu Teng, the governor of Qingzhou, "The First Prompt for the People of the World to Defeat the Elephant"-
"The eunuchs who are called Qiu Shiliang are born with a jackal and humble background. They enjoy the emperor's recommendation and endless favors, but do not want to repay the emperor's kindness. They form cliques to make private contributions, harm the country and the people. They play with power and tricks, poison loyal and kindness. They hold Your Majesty hostage, deceive the master, deceive the superiors and hide the subordinates, and do illegal things. They eliminate dissidents, be greedy and cruel. Their crimes are endless... "
This manifesto has almost no literary talent, like a cursive script.
But it doesn’t matter whether the manifesto has literary talent. What’s important is the content of “annobles”. These three words are enough to cause shock to the world. What else should I do if my literary talent is needed?
"Yuan Ji, you are familiar with Zhu Teng's handwriting. You should study it carefully to see if it is really written by Zhu Teng." Yan Xiufu said in a deep voice.
Song Ji frowned and looked through it again and again. After half an hour of investigation, he said softly: "Your Majesty, just from the handwriting, it looks like Zhu Teng's handwriting. Anyway, the official can't see any flaws."
Zhu Teng and the Jiedushi often came and went to official documents and letters. In the Song Dynasty, Jichang, handled Yan Xiufu's official business in the sect, so he naturally became familiar with Zhu Teng's handwriting.
Since he couldn't see any flaws, it means there were almost no flaws.
But it was indeed forged by someone!
The purpose is very simple, just to frame Zhu Teng, and even fools understand it.
Yan Xiufu and Song Ji looked at each other for a while, and both read meaningful meaning from each other's eyes.
"Eunuch, this manifesto must have been forged by someone, who deliberately took advantage of the situation and attempted to blame Zhu Teng. But it is enough to be fake. However, although this book is forged, Zhu Teng's wolfish ambition is not false. Since this is the case, the envoy might as well follow the plan..."
Yan Xiufu remained silent and nodded.
Song Ji put the manifesto back into the letter cover and ordered someone to add a fire sign to seal it again.
...
Qingzhou Governor's Office.
The coachman in black stood in the secret room with a cold expression.
Zhu Teng was anxious and gloomy, and paced back and forth.
"The little eunuch is dead. Even if Yan Xiufu suspects that our Zhu family, he will not find any evidence. What is my father afraid of?"
Zhu Wei was meticulous and had a precautionary arrangement. When something was urgent, the killer in black under her command made a quick decision and killed someone to silence him.
Otherwise, if Yan Xiufu brought Yu Shihong back to the city alive, the Zhu family's plan would be leaked. Eunuchs like Yu Shihong who are soft and afraid of hard will not be able to withstand the punishment, even if they are scared, they will be difficult to hold on.
However, Zhu Wei felt that Yan Xiufu at this time, at most he suspected that the Zhu family had defected to the eunuchs in the capital, and the so-called "selling oneself to follow the thief", but he did not realize that the Zhu family was going to attack him.
It is certainly despicable to defect to eunuchs, but on the surface, no one can do anything to Zhu Teng.
I like to attract influence and curry favor with powerful officials, who can control me?
Zhu Teng stopped and said irritably, "I am not worried about this place for my father, but... Qiu Shiliang's man died in Qingzhou and came for us. How could anyone with the surname Qiu give up? It's a pity that this old thief Yan took the risk and harmed us on his back. He made trouble for no reason, and almost ruined my big affairs!"
"Father, this matter is nothing. A little eunuch will die if he dies. As long as things happen today, the old thief Yan will be deprived of hatred, and everything in Qingzhou City is under the control of his father. Afterwards, it will be pushed to the old thief Yan, so what can Qiu Shiliang do to me?"
Zhu Wei took a step forward and decisively said: "Father, things have come to this point, life and death are at stake, so I have to hesitate at all. In this way, I will take the servant to Yan's house to pay my birthday as usual. My father can connect with him as planned and control the situation in the city. Just wait for the old thief Yan to die, Qingzhou can change his surname to Zhu."
Zhu Teng hesitated a little: "I am worried that Yan Xiufu has already suspected the Zhu family at this moment, so he is wary of it. And the previous plan... If the news leaks, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Zhu Wei sneered: "Aye, Yan Xiufu may doubt our Zhu family, but he definitely can't doubt Tang Tu's head. He never expected that we would tamper with the birthday wine he gave. Moreover, even if Tang Tu couldn't do anything like this, his daughter still had a more complete solution..."
...
The heavy door of the Tang family mansion slowly opened.
Tang Zu walked out of the door in a brand new white Hu suit with a big lapel. He had a black wide-edged light gold peony pattern belt, and a Persian gem the size of a red pigeon egg-sized inlaid on the belt, shining brightly because the white clothes were more eye-catching.
This is one of the dresses that the boy was in the bottom of his box. He was abruptly and dressed up. He was dressed up as a person, a horse was saddle, and his temperament and image changed.
With a sudden smile on his face, this handsome and handsome young man is the only one in Qingzhou City. He can only attract attention if he is well-dressed, otherwise how could he perform on stage?
Zhu Wei, who appeared in public today to attend the official banquet, dressed up even more carefully.
He was combed with a high bun, exposed chest, red silk on his shoulders, a white narrow-sleeved short shirt on his face, a green long skirt on his face, and a red belt on his waist, which was bright and charming.
Zhu Weiying walked over and saw a more abrupt and arrogant look that was more sexy than her. Her deep eyes wandered for a moment, but then she returned to her cold and calmness.
No matter how handsome the young man is, he is still a waste and can only be regarded as a big sum of money.
She took a step forward and smiled, "Atu, have you prepared?"
Tang smiled abruptly and pointed behind him.
In front of the Tang family, there were two jars of century-old Jiannan wines prepared by the Zhu family in advance.
"Okay, A Tu, let's go." Zhu Wei smiled with a pretty face.
Tang Kuo, but he looked back and said, "My wife, I'm still a little worried... If Mr. Yan gets angry, what should I do? I'm weak and can't stand the beating."
Zhu Wei's pretty face suddenly froze.
She was so angry that she couldn't help but stomp her feet, and turned around and left.
