Chapter 423 The traitor

Shen Lie stood on the dock.

Look around.

I saw Qingqi coming from the north, riding fast in the snow-covered wilderness. They were all wearing casual clothes, but their sturdy figures could not hide their stamina.

Not long after.

My heart is awe-inspiring.

Shen Lie faintly smelled an unknown smell.

really.

Several riders came straight to the dock, showed their waistbands, and then followed several Dongchang Tiqi in a hurry to Shen Lie.

The leader handed over the greeting card.

It turned out to be the person who was in charge of the ceremony, and he must be Feng Bao's confidant.

Shen Lie hurriedly said: "Please come here."

So soon another capable knight stepped forward, cupped his fists and saluted Shen Lie, and said softly: "Master Shen, please take a step to speak."

Shen Lie nodded and said softly: "Follow me."

As a few people walked quickly to the cheap shop not far away, entered the private room on the third floor, closed the door, and the knight took out a secret letter with a secret message from his arms and handed it over.

Received the letter.

Right secret note.

The ominous omen in Shen Lie's heart became even stronger. When he opened the letter, he saw a shocking line of handwriting: "Your Majesty intends to remove Zhang Jianxiu from the position of commander of the Jinyi Guards and replace him with Zheng Chengxian."

There was a chill.

This sudden news made Shen Lie's face darken, he quickly calmed down, hugged his fists towards Qingqi, the eunuch in front of him, and said softly.

"Thank you."

Several people hurriedly returned the gift, watching with burning eyes as Shen Lie threw the secret letter into the charcoal basin, and then hurriedly said goodbye as the secret letter turned into ashes.

In the elegant room.

Shen Lie walked to the side of the Grand Master's chair.

Sat down.

I couldn't help but touch my nose.

Okay!

After all, the emperor was still young and energetic, and could not bear his temper, so he attacked Fourth Brother Zhang. It is easy to understand that the emperor wanted to remove his commander of the Jinyi Guards.

But who is Jung Seung-hun?

This is another birdman appearing out of nowhere.

Shen Lie was at a loss for a while. He had never heard of Jin Yiwei or such a person among the emperor's confidants, so he hurriedly looked around for people to inquire.

finally.

After half an hour.

Shen Lie figured out the origin of the man who was going to replace Fourth Brother Zhang and take charge of the Jin Yiwei.

This person turned out to be Zheng Shuyi's father.

There was a moment of silence.

a long time.

Shen Liecai touched his neck and muttered silently: "He is really a bird man."

With a bit of heaviness in his heart, Shen Lie walked to the window, looked at the large number of people digging into the ice in the canal outside, and sighed quietly.

One wave comes after another.

His wish to spend the New Year in peace was over.

"Someone... prepare your horse!"

He calmed down his mind.

Shen Lie took a few Qingqi and hurried towards the capital.

Afternoon.

Shen Mansion.

The courtyard door is closed.

Shen Lie sent his beloved wife, concubine, and maid out, and then closed the door with Zhang Jianxiu and Tian Hong to discuss countermeasures.

Suddenly learning that he was going to be dismissed, Zhang Jianxiu's face turned livid.

Tian Hong was worried.

Shen Lie's expression was also uncertain. He picked up a resume on the table and looked at it. There were dense handwritings in small regular script.

It’s full of stories about Zheng Chengxian’s life.

This man is from Daxing County, Shuntian Prefecture. He comes from a small family. He has never read or gone to school. He is a scoundrel who cannot read a word.

Earlier years.

This man hangs out in the market, is arrogant, unreasonable, and likes to associate with mountain men, sorcerers, and Edo swindlers.

He usually makes a living by cheating.

A complete scoundrel.

Later, when he met the emperor's talent show, the scoundrel changed his mind and sent his youngest daughter Zheng Jing'er, who was only fourteen years old, to the talent show with the mentality of giving it a try.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Jing'er, with her beauty and delicate mind, ranked second in the talent show and was named a concubine. After entering the palace, she gradually captured the heart of the young emperor.

Looking at Zheng Chengxian's disgraceful resume, and then looking at Zhang Jianxiu with a pale face, Shen Lie couldn't help but look confused.

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Such a scoundrel in the market, a shameless person who likes to associate with charlatans and liars, does the emperor want him to take over as the commander of the Imperial Guard?

Although it is said that many dogs will be slaughtered if you are righteous.

"But this..."

This is not a dog butcher!

This is a stinking scoundrel.

If such a person is really allowed to take charge of the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei, the result will make Shen Lie shudder, then the world will be in chaos.

pain.

Skull hurts.

God knows what kind of ecstasy soup Zheng Shuyi poured into His Majesty.

As Shen Lie's nameless fire burst out in his heart, in anger, he slapped the table hard and couldn't help but explode.

Isn’t this nonsense!

In deathly silence.

Zhang Jianxiu stood up, straightened his third-grade official uniform, but said softly with some frustration: "It's difficult for you to deal with your fate... That's all... Jian Xiu will go home and write his resignation."

It looks like.

Don't wait for the emperor to issue an order to remove him, he is already ready to resign on his own initiative.

"in this way……"

Zhang Jianxiu had a look of sadness on his face, and laughed at himself: "I can still preserve the righteousness of the monarch and his subjects."

The most ruthless family is the imperial family.

Shen Lie frowned and was speechless for a while, but he could only persuade him softly: "Fourth brother, wait a minute."

He felt that it was inappropriate for Zhang Jianxiu to resign at this time.

this is not.

Make way for the turtle grandson?

But when the words came to his mouth, he hesitated, thinking of Zheng Shuyi's beauty and scheming, the emperor's carelessness and dependence on her.

How to do it.

Shen Lie was stumped for a moment.

In silence.

Tian Hong said without saying a word, "A dishonest, dog-like thing, in Tian's opinion, might as well have done this with a knife in hand..."

The words fell.

Zhang Jianxiu's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "This is absolutely impossible!"

I saw the commander in such a state.

Tian Hong, the Deputy Qianhu of the Jinyi Guards, quickly shut his mouth, but couldn't help but whisper: "This matter can be left to the subordinates, and it will be kept without anyone noticing..."

At this moment, Shen Lie also frowned slightly, looked over, and then said coldly: "Shut up... don't talk... be careful of trouble coming from your mouth."

Tian Hong stopped insisting, quickly lowered his head and said softly: "Yes."

Watch Tian Hong admit his mistake obediently.

Shen Lie then touched his nose and couldn't help but give him a few words of instruction: "You don't want to talk nonsense like this. In our cheap shop... we are all well-behaved and responsible people."

Sneak attack, assassination...

Naturally, we can't do such unflattering things.

Tian Hong quickly said: "Yes."

But Shen Lie felt his nose was a little itchy again, so he mumbled again: "What is Shen's background... a cook will never be able to do such a thing."

"Absolutely not!"

So while Shen Lie was mumbling, Tian Hong kept apologizing: "It was my fault that I made a mistake. I made a mistake."

Not long after.

Then another cold and freezing night came.

A charcoal basin was built.

It was very warm in the warm pavilion where the kang was burned. With his beloved wife's slender and delicate body in his arms and covered with a thick quilt, Shen Lie realized the true meaning of the hot kang head of his wife and children.

Until it gets dark.

Under the influence of the biological clock, Shen Lie stood up from the hot bed in the Nuan Pavilion, put on his clothes and got down to the ground, and added a few pieces of charcoal to the burnt charcoal pot.

Then he looked at the half-open window.
