When Fan Jianglong and Tong Huasheng died, the local forces protecting Gu Dazhang were immediately leaderless and collapsed. Early the next morning, Gu Dazhang was escorted to Beijing by the Jinyi Guards. News of Gu Dazhang's arrest immediately spread throughout the capital. Gu Dazhang was the fourth person imprisoned in the Wang Wenyan case.

He was also the pillar of the Donglin Party, and all officials in the capital were in an uproar.

Late at night after Gu Dazhang was arrested, a farmer visited the residence of former chief minister Ye Xianggao.

Ye Mansion is located in the courtyard of Mingcunfang next to Chongwen Gate. It is a very conspicuous building. It has a red lacquer door, which is covered with copper nails and hangs two large copper rings. At the door is a pair of aged lions holding drum stones.

Taller than a human being, it symbolizes the extraordinary status of the owner of the mansion.

Ye Xianggao, courtesy name Jinqing, No. Taishan, was born in Fuzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province. During the Wanli period of the previous dynasty, Ye Xianggao had been the first assistant in the court. He is sixty-six years old this year, but his moral character and respect are still high. Although he has retired for many years, he still has

During the Tianqi period, he was invited to serve as the chief auxiliary for the second time to assist Emperor Tianqi. However, he retired again two years ago due to the struggle with Wei Zhongxian and health problems. Although he currently has no official position, Ye Xianggao is still the spiritual leader of the Donglin Party.

.

The man who came to visit asked the doorman to pass a letter wrapped in oilcloth, with only the large character "Five" written on the envelope.

Ye Xianggao, who was drinking tea in the study, saw the package and immediately ordered the guard to send word to the main hall to greet him.

The peasants, covered in mud and dust, were led straight to the main hall by the steward. The middle-aged man had never seen the world. When he saw Ye Xiang, he immediately knelt down and said, "The common people pay homage to your lord."

"Quick, quick, please get up. I was about to ask where this letter came from." Ye Xianggao said politely.

The farmer spoke in a dialect, perhaps frightened by Ye Mansion's aura, and he hesitated and said: "This...this is...Master Wu...asked me to bring it,

He said it must be handed over to Mr. Ye."

"Where is Mr. Wu now?"

"He disappeared after giving it to me. I don't know. He gave me...that...that...money and told me how...how to come to the capital."

"What else did you say?" Ye Xianggao asked.

"No, I... don't... know... just that letter."

"That's it." Seeing that he couldn't speak clearly, Ye Xianggao probably couldn't figure it out if he asked again, so he asked the housekeeper to reward him with some money and take the farmer out.

Ye Xianggao returned to the study, dismissed the servants, and opened the letter alone. There was a tips bag in the envelope.

Ye Xianggao picked up the kit and weighed it. It was very light. There should be a thin piece of paper inside. Ye Xianggao used candlelight to see what was inside, but the kit was opaque and could only be seen that it was made of gold.

The edges are sealed tightly. If you want to open it, you must break the gold thread. This is a common sealing method so that the recipient can check whether it has been opened.

******************

Ye Xianggao recalled that a few months ago, on the night when Wang Wenyan was first arrested, a person was introduced to him by other Donglin Party members and asked to see him. Mr. Zhao Nanxing was also present at that time. This person behaved mysteriously and called himself Wu Yiguo, a good friend of Wang Wenyan.

There is a channel in the Ministry of Punishment. This person tried to cooperate with the Donglin Party to rescue Wang Wenyan.

Wu, Ye Xianggao and Zhao Nanxing all had different views on how to rescue Wang Wenyan. Cao advocated finding dead men from the Jianghu community and taking Wang Wenyan to prison. Ye Xianggao advocated that he should submit a memorial and request that he be transferred to the Ministry of Punishment for trial.

He also collaborated with Yan Guan and Yu Shi to write a letter advocating that crimes should not lead to death.

Wu Xin's urgent time was urgent, and Wang immediately killed the injustice in the prison. The members of the Donglin party had another care. Zhao Nanxing was worried that the case was major. Once Donglin was poured, he would be trapped to fight for the party. Therefore, Donglin would be trapped.

The party members advocate the distance and not to be rescued by the Donglin Party's backbone. Instead, they buy a book with a good relationship with the relationship between the relationship between Wei and saving Zhao, so as not to burn the upper body and destroy one person and the whole party.

Discouncing. But before leaving, Wu Yiguo left a sentence in private to Ye Xianggao: "Please remember to do not be Song Xiang's benevolence, so as not to be regretful for life."

After asking, after saying this, he hurried away.

***********************

Ye Xianggao picked up the scissors and cut the bag, and a piece of paper in it fell out. After the unfolding, it was found that the classical Chinese was stunned, there were Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou.

The supervisor led General Nie Fu, and the two tubes were closed. "

Ye Xianggao and Zhao Nanxing are most worried about what happened. According to this message, Wang Wenyan's confession also contains Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, plus Gu Dazhang, who has been caught, Yuan Huazhong, Wei Dazhong, and Zhou Chao Rui.

people.

Gu Dazhang, the word Boqin, No. Chenke, Nanzhili, Suzhou Prefecture, Changshu County, Nanzhou, a native of Changshu County. The 35th year of the Wanli was Jinshi.

Yuan Huazhong, the character is harmonious, No. Xi Yu, a native of Jinan, Shandong. Thirty -five years in Wanli, the first year of Taichang was promoted to the royal history.

Wei Dazhong, when the word holes, No. Giyuan, native of Jiashan County, Jiaxing House, Zhejiang.

Zhou Chaorui, the word Si Yong, No. Hengtai, Dongchang Prefecture, Dongchang Prefecture, Shandong. Thirty -five years of Wanli Jinshi.

Zuo Guangdou, the word is straight, the name is Fuqiu, and it is also named Cangyu. He was born in Tongcheng County, Anqing, Anhui. The important member of the 35th year of Wanli.

Yang Lian, the word Wen Xun, No. Dahong, Hu Guangying Mountain. Thirty -five years of Wanli Jinshi. At the beginning, he was appointed Changjisian County, and the national integrity was first.

Du Yushi.

Among these six people, the five five people are the same year. They are all the scholars of 35 years of Wanli. They are all important members of the Donglin Party. They are also the six people of Wei Zhongxian's most hate.

The origin of Donglin dates back to twenty -one years ago, that is, 32 years of Wanli. Gu Xiancheng and others were struggling with political struggles, and they were not used to corruption in the field and resigned.

On the occasion of the education of Gao Panlong, Qian Yiben and others. On the occasion of Donglin lectures, they proposed the slogans such as Lianzheng Fenggong, revitalizing the government, opening up the way, and eliminating the disadvantages of the country and the field.

Other friendly parties generally referred to the Donglin Academy's lectures and relationships with them or supporting sympathy for lectures.

Among the six people, Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou were the leadership of the Donglin Party, and Ye Xianggao had intersecting the two for many years. Ye Xianggao knew that Wei Zhongxian had an unre exposed Wang Wenyan painting confession. He had suspected Yang Lianhe and

Zuo Guangdou's name was also on it, but at the first wave of arrests, the East Factory did not arrest Yang Zuo.

Donglin party members were also fortunate that they did not have the names of the two. But I did not expect that Master Cao came with the news that the names of Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou were also on the confession. In this way, the next wave of the East Factory was Yang He.

On the left, these two are the core of the Donglin Party and the most hateful person for Wei Zhongxian.

Ye Xiangguan locked and called the followers who came to the family. "Come to Lord Zhao Nanxing to come and have an urgent discussion."

Zhao Nanxing, the word Mengbai, named Crane, Gao Yi, a two -year -old jinshi, and then the official ministry Shangshu.

"What do you think of this letter?" Ye Xianggao inquired about Zhao Nanxing's opinion.

Zhao Nanxing stomped a small square step around Ye Xianggao's hall, and the columns on both sides were engraved with the couplet of Donglin Academy.

On the one hand, "The sound of the wind and rain read the sound of the sound." On the other hand, "The state affairs are concerned about things in the world."

"Master Ye, I think this time is different from the previous. I think Mr. Wu is right, saving people first, do not do Song Xiang's benevolence, do not make a list.", Zhao Nanxing said.

"What do you mean?"

"Ye Xiang, we need to send people first. For a long time, the Donglin Party is too cautious. Save Wang's classical Chinese, and I lose in Donglin to pay attention to the reputation, pay attention to legitimacy, and persist in litigation, which has caused vain.

Want the life of these six people. "

Zhao Nanxing paused: "According to the meaning of this letter, we should call the people of the rivers and lakes, secretly robb the people, and then continue to find people to clear, and the two tubes are approached."

"But you know the temper of these six adults. If we know that we go to bribe or rob, aren't we trapped Yang Lian and Zuo Guang?"

"Ye Xiang, this is not the time to be pedantic. Remember how Wang Yiyan died? According to the previous practice, play Zhang Baozhang's life,"

"Also, it seems that saving people's life first." Ye Xiang sighed.

"That Ye Xiang knows the heroes of this man?"

Ye Xiang Gaoyi groaned, "Jade Heroes refers to Zhili Heroes Yu Fosun, my niece, Mrs. Yu, I can ask him to assist. As for General Nie, I don't know, but Sun Governor

The division commander Guan Wai elite cavalry should have a capable person. As for the bribe party personnel, you need to find a middleman to settle the matter, and you must ask Master Zhao to arrange it. "

"Okay, I'll find a way." Zhao Nanxing agreed.

"I'm here to prepare the chapter, let's contact Donglinmen people to act together and act together. At that time, they will protect Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou on the court. As for money, it will be troublesome.

In seconds, hurriedly urged Zhao Nanxing to start action.

The two called Xiaoxun, grinding ink paper, and immediately started working. Ye Xianggao and Zhao Nanxing brought some details in the work, and then wrote a letter from Zhili Yujia and Great Sun, until
Chapter completed!
