Li Tingzhu is a descendant of Duke Cao Li Wenzhong. His ancestors were Dukes. During Jiajing, he renewed his title but only made him a marquis. It was not his turn to be the Marquis of Linhuai at the beginning of the eleventh year of Jiajing that he was named Linhuai Marquis at the beginning of the eleventh year of Jiajing. However, this marquis was greedy for enjoyment and was extremely happy and sad. He died two years later, and he did not even leave his descendants. The title fell on Li Tingzhu's father Li Yi.

Li Yi also passed away after two years of inheritance. Li Tingzhu, who was twenty-one, inherited the title of Marquis of Linhuai. Three years later, he was only twenty-four years old, and was sealed by the general of Pingman from Huguang. At the age of thirty-four, he led the navy to fight against Japanese pirates, served as the governor of the grain transport in Huai'an, and later served as the chief of the Nanjing Central Army Governor's Office. In the fifth year of Longqing, he replaced Xu Pengju as the garrison in Nanjing. You must know that this position has been controlled by the Duke of Wei for almost a long time, and others cannot interfere. Even this time, because Xu Pengju deposed the eldest son and established the young, the title was attacked by the imperial court, and the title was given to Xu Bangrui, the Nanjing garrison fell on Li Tingzhu because of the court's importance.

Even if there is no too brilliant record, it cannot be compared with a folk hero like Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou. However, Li Tingzhu has his own unique features from an unknown hero to today. At this moment, Meng Fang and Zhang Jiayin were both despised, but he said calmly: "I am already sixty years old this year. I will rely on my seniority to say that in this storm, the people who are provoking trouble behind this are not at all, so they are naturally ulterior motives. Burning up the property of Eunuch Meng, arousing the anger of Eunuch Meng, then catching scholars, and then arousing the public anger of scholars. In this way, the two sides are not only Eunuch Meng, but also many others are not bad."

He broke through the window paper without any hesitation, and then said in a deep voice: "Short after the emperor ascended the throne, although the chief minister Zhang Ge Lao and Eunuch Feng cooperated sincerely, both inside and outside were stable. At this time, this kind of chaos suddenly occurred in the southeast. What do you think if it is? It is OK to investigate. But it cannot be as big as before, but it should be investigated secretly. Do you think it is? Eunuch Meng suspected that a scholar was secretly causing trouble, and Governor Zhang believed that someone deliberately provoked scholars. These ideas were correct, but without evidence, the case could not be closed. Moreover, the one who surrendered himself and the other who wanted to jump into the river claimed that he was afraid of being silenced, which was very simple."

Li Tingzhu paused and placed the small wine glass in his hand on the desk: "I killed the person who was thrown out, and only said he was ordered by someone, but I couldn't ask who was ordered by He Si! This man hurt the old robes and instigated the scholar to set fire, which obviously had ulterior motives for Eunuch Meng. Since I couldn't ask anything, why should I keep it? Just throw it out and suffocate the public anger! As for the scholar who set fire and the other two who first reported, I would say a few good words to them when I wrote to the court and give them a lighter statement. As long as I ordered people to post corresponding disposal notices throughout the city, and then appease the whole city, the public anger and complaints can gradually calm down. Let's put it in the dark!"

Meng Fang's forehead was immediately exposed. However, when he thought of the unfathomable Feng Bao, he felt that he was pouring a basin of cold water on his head. He hesitated for a long time, and finally he just snorted lightly, expressing his agreement.

Zhang Jiayin is naturally much more conscious of the times than Meng Fang. After all, he was promoted by Gao Gong and was still sitting in this seat after Zhang Juzheng became the chief minister. Of course, he did not want to involve some of the most troublesome party disputes, such as this arson case that initially seemed like a purely venting anger. Therefore, he expressed a clear meaning to Li Tingzhu's suggestions.

"The Marquis is so compassionate to the heavens and the people, and the officials can understand it. When they immediately inform the Five City Military Offices and the Government Offices and the County Offices, the case will be closed as soon as possible."

Since the bosses reached a preliminary consensus, the officials at the lower level were naturally faster. In just one day, the case had already come to an end. He Si was charged with a traitor and was reported to the court for killing the people. As for the two former robes that were deceived by him, it was just a crime of being exiled. Even though He Si shouted in the court and shouted that the three secret merchants were broken into, it was still useless. In the end, he was hit by twenty small boards because of the roaring court. It was like a dead dog being dragged back to the prison, his lower clothes were covered in blood, and he was almost exhausted.

He had been Hu Zongxian's personal soldier, and had accompanied Hu Songqi to visit Hu Zongxian. He had been in the Tianzhuo for a long time in the Dongcheng Military and Horses Office. He knew this method of torture. When he was blocked and beaten, he knew that this small bamboo board was so powerful that even if his muscles and bones were strong, he could no longer hold on when he was thrown on the pile of rotten straws. He knew that if he fainted at this moment, he would really give his life here, so he had to push his heart to his heart. In order not to fall asleep, he actually bit his tongue and dripped blood. Just as he was struggling to endure his patience, he suddenly heard a rustling sound from outside the cell.

He was afraid that someone would silence him and was most wary of someone being unfavorable to him. He immediately turned his head and looked over with all his might. Sure enough, he saw a familiar gray figure standing outside. It wasn't the mysterious man who gave him two hundred taels of silver and came up with such a sinister idea? He felt that his hair was standing up all over his body, but he wanted to call someone, but his tongue was bitten so hard that he could hardly make a sound, and his throat was dry and unbearable. He could only burst out with a few vague words when he tried his best. In despair, he saw the man smiled coldly at him.

"Such a good idea can actually make you make such a big mistake. It's really a mess! Now, you deserve to die!"

Seeing someone open the prison door and walking towards him with something, He Si was so scared that he was so scared that he was shabby. However, his handcuffs and shackles were tightly handcuffed and unable to move. He could only watch the heavy bags pressing on his back. When he realized that it was a sandbag, he could not even hum a sound. When one heavy bag after another pressed on his body, he felt that he could not breathe. In a daze, he only saw the person who was talking before looking at him with a smile, and he was sure that he would not be able to survive this level. Sure enough, he had only struggled for a while and felt that his eyes were black and he had already regretted it.

If I had known that I would be abandoned today, why would I be confused because of the money?

The man in gray saw that He Si died and the prison guard who took action promised that he would never leave any traces. He then left the prison cell and quietly came out of the back door of Yingtian Mansion to get on his horse. He walked around in Jinling City like his own backyard, and finally changed his mount. His clothes were also changed into small hats in blue, and then he came to the front door of a magnificent mansion, not elsewhere. It was the eunuch's mansion in Nanjing.

The man hurried up the steps with his robe and greeted the people coming in and out with a smile. When he passed through several doors and entered a delicate courtyard, he saw a middle-aged man in brocade robe standing there in the middle of the courtyard, looking at a completely blooming osmanthus flower with thoughtful thoughts.

He quickly walked forward, bowed his hands respectfully and shouted: "Master Qi."

"All done?"

"Yes, the sandbags pressed on people. I watched him die and came back."

"I died well. I thought Hu Butang had a wise and intelligent subordinate for a lifetime, but I didn't expect that only these guys were left." The middle-aged man in the brocade robe suddenly reached out and pinched a sponge of osmanthus, and then turned around. "This man swore that he could tell his companions, but he didn't expect that he would eventually be seen through. You should have heard from the court. He said that after he was knocked out, the two companions were leaning on his head. Could the person who knocked out the question?"

"Those two guys have also tried torture and asked questions, but they were two hard bones and they didn't ask anything."

"It's fine if you can't ask. At this time, all parties are paying attention and doing more mistakes." The middle-aged man in brocade robe pinched down all the flowers on the osmanthus in his hand and threw them all over the floor. His voice was still faint, "When you are sure that when you go to clean up He Si, there will definitely be no trace left?"

"Master Qi, don't worry, that prisoner is the one I've been looking for before, and he has gotten the waist card of Eunuch Meng, and he has dressed up specially. His figure and shape are all different from the moment. Even if he misses, Eunuch Meng will suffer a loss by himself. Besides, I will follow Master Qi to Jiangling today. I will not step into Nanjing for ten or eight years, and it will definitely not be noticed."

"Well. Go and call others quickly and pack up your things. I will report to Eunuch Meng in person and say goodbye to him."

The middle-aged man in brocade robe gave an order. When the person quietly retreated, he went back to his room to change his clothes. It was a simple blue silk robe. Then he didn't bring anyone around and left the yard. He had been living in the eunuch's mansion for more than ten days, and he was familiar with all the servants he met along the way, giving way and calling Master Qi. When he arrived at the door of the study, the eunuch who was garrisoning in Nanjing was waiting at the door himself.

"Brother You are leaving?"

"This time I was ordered by the elder of the Pavilion to come to Nanjing to deliver the letter. Then I went down to Jiangling to pay homage to the old lady. I have been staying in Nanjing for a long time, but I still have to thank Eunuch Meng for the hospitality."

Knowing that You Qi was the housekeeper of Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the dynasty. This time he came to Nanjing, he also brought Feng Bao's handwritten letter to pay attention to the movements in the Southeast Shilin. Meng Fang deliberately kept the other party for a few days before and tried to inquire about the matter in the capital. Although it was confirmed that Feng Bao's position was as stable as Mount Tai and Zhang Ju was outside the palace, he could be said to be restless, but this time he was plotted against him, he felt very unhappy after being plotted against him. Therefore, after letting You Qi enter the house, he complained half-truely and half-fakely, and then sued Zhang Jiayin for his scheming. However, You Qi first blindly practiced Tai Chi, and finally gave a few words.

"These scholars all want to be nominated for a juren on the Gui List. Zhang Jiayin is so arrogant. Is it because the chief examiner of the provincial examination Geng Dingxiang also protects them? If there is something wrong with the provincial examination in the current examination, how can these scholars behave?"

Meng Fang was overjoyed about such a suggestion. When You Qi and his group left, he actually sent the person to the gate himself.

It was not until he got on the boat to Jiangling Mansion outside the pier outside Jinchuan Gate that You Qi, who was sitting in the cabin, showed a somewhat angry expression.

Feng Bao naturally dared not design the front design, but he was conceited to design a fool like Meng Fang, and he would never see it. Who would have thought that the distinguished guest living at home was planning to cheat him? He had long seen that Zhang Juzheng was very dissatisfied with the trend of many academies in the southeast area and that students often commented on the imperial decrees. Thinking that when things got a big deal, as long as Meng Fang went to cry to Feng Bao and followed him with some eye drops, Zhang Juzheng could naturally suppress this free and casual style of scholars. Anyway, after searching, there were only a few old subordinates of Hu Zongxian. Who would have thought that the situation suddenly went down!
