Chapter 836 Black Hand Appears

Youdao is the richest man in the west. Because Daxia Yongfang is close to the imperial city and is in the west of the inner city of the capital, it has naturally been a place where court officials gather, and houses are expensive. Therefore, many officials with low official positions and only well-off families choose to rent houses here. There are many small houses with only one or two inches among the two yards. He Xinyin, who was invited to Beijing, hid in the city and quietly lived among the many court officials in Xiaoyongfang. Although he is famous, because he has been in the southeast Huguang area in previous years, there are few people in the capital, and he lives in a quiet place, so he is very low-key.

But on this day, he took two servants and quietly went out and came to Lingji Hutong Lingji Palace, which was very close to his Tangzi Hutong. This street also has a name, called Xuancheng Bohou Wall Street, and to the south is the famous Xuancheng Bodi Garden. Through the high walls, you can vaguely see carved beams and painted buildings. Although the Xuancheng Bo is no longer as grand as before, as a nobleman, as long as he does not make big mistakes and manages it well, the imperially-given Xuntian Villages and the numerous ancestral forest industries are enough for the family to live a luxurious life. The Lingji Palace in the north has always been the most famous royal Taoist temple in the capital.

Although the folk incense is not enough, the incense of Buddhist temples in the capital has always been more than that of Taoist temples. Therefore, when He Xin hid in it, he saw that although there were many devout pilgrims in several halls, it was not crowded Buddhist temples. Because today's day and time have been agreed upon, he has never been very interested in Buddhism and Taoism. He immediately went straight to a small garden behind Lingji Palace. When he saw the door from afar, he saw two Taoist boys standing there.

However, when he got closer, the two Taoist boys bowed their heads and bowed, but stopped the two healthy servants behind him. For this action, he raised his eyebrows, winked at the servant, and walked in without hesitation, still guessing in his heart that the person who had hidden his head and tail to invite him to come here. Although the person he doubted the most so far was Zhang Siwei, he knew that people like Zhang Siwei were the most likely to seek benefits and avoid harm. Even if he found that he had secretly robbed the documents he got from Gao Gong, he would not have thought that with the help of Xu Jie's stupid son, he could easily guess himself and boldly invited him to the capital.

This can only be done by many forces with eyes and eyes!

So, when he saw a middle-aged man about forty years old and white-faced and slightly bearded stand up in a pavilion at the end of the road, his eyes suddenly became sharp. Although the other party looked quite elegant and had a beard on his jaw, at first glance, the other party's demeanor was different from that of an ordinary man. When Xu Jie was a supporter in the past, he had seen similar characters visiting at his home, so he immediately asked directly: "Who is the father-in-law in the palace?"

"Mr. Fushan has good eyesight. Our family is the emperor's companion. The eunuch Zhang Cheng, the eunuch who is in charge of the seal."

If Zhang Hong or any eunuch in the palace are here, he would be stunned when he heard this. Zhang Cheng? This is clearly Zhang Jing, who is not inferior to Zhang Cheng, by the emperor!

He Xinyin is not as familiar with other idle people, officials in the court, and big palaces. Therefore, he is naturally familiar with the name Zhang Cheng, but his original seven-point vigilance suddenly increased to ten. He walked forward quietly, bowed his hand and asked again, "Then, is it that Eunuch Zhang who invited me to the capital with such an invitation? I am a idle person in the mountains, worth the effort?"

"I just heard that the servants from Zhang Ge's hometown came back from Henan. They seemed to have encountered some situations and lost something. They also happened to hear that Mr. Xu, who had retired, had met Mr. Fushan several times, but they had the intention of giving it a try. They went to ask the second son of the Xu family. Who knew that he had asked such a thing." Zhang Jing smiled, his face was extremely sincere. He reached out to ask He Xinyin to sit first. Then he sat down and said, "After all, I was introduced to the emperor by Eunuch Feng. I have been in the East Factory for a while before, and there were a few acquaintances among the factory guards."

He Xinyin was extremely annoyed when he knew it was not Zhang Siwei, but such a eunuch threatening him. If it weren't for his family, there were nephews and relatives, and there were many student disciples outside, he would have wanted to draw his sword and kill the eunuch with ulterior motives. But after all, he was not such an impulsive person. He was murderous intent in his heart, but he still said softly: "Eunuch Zhang is really good at hearing, but you think you can succeed just by relying on the things that Chen Guzi rots sesame seeds?"

"The emperor is already married." Zhang Jing said word by word, "But Eunuch Feng and Yuan Fu are both inside and outside, controlling the government affairs, just like one person. If this continues, will this country be the Ming Dynasty or the Feng and Zhang? I know how Mr. Fushan decided to take Yan Song for Mr. Xu. This time, he learned that Mr. Zhang got the manuscript of Mr. Zheng from Gaoxin, but was robbed by you, so he invited you to the capital. I might as well tell the truth. If I don't do what I want to do now, someone will do it in the future. Now, whether it is Eunuch Feng or Yuan Fu, I can retreat safely, but I may not be so kind in the future!"

"Don't forget that last year, the emperor kept Yuanfu and made an exception to take the lead!"

"The emperor is just because of the repeated urging of the Holy Emperor Ci. After all, Yuan Fu has no credit and hard work. The emperor always remembers it in his heart." Zhang Jing said this, and suddenly changed his mind, "I have already started talking, and I will not hide it. I am asking Mr. Fushan to come to Beijing. I don't want you to run around and offer suggestions, just for one thing, that is Gao Xinzheng's manuscript! As long as you can hand over all the manuscripts to me, you don't need to participate in this matter again. Whether the matter is successful or not has nothing to do with you. I, Zhang Cheng, still has the credit for being a human being."

"If Eunuch Zhang asked for a manuscript, when someone threatened me to go to Beijing, he would just say it outright. Why do you have to go to Beijing at a very old age?"

"Of course I'm afraid that Mr. Fushan would fool me with manuscripts or other things."

"Ha, Eunuch Zhang is suspicious. But since you have so many factory guards, you should know that there is nothing you want in my luggage."

It was not until this time that Zhang Jing's face turned dark. Although he had indeed been in the East Factory and had met several eunuchs in private, he was not Feng Bao, who was surrounded by the government and the country inside and outside the capital. Before He Xinyin appeared today, he didn't even know whether He Xinyin had arrived in the capital and where he lived. How could he know what He Xinyin brought in his bag? However, from He Xinyin's words, he could clearly hear that what he wanted was really not in He Xinyin's hands, and he immediately became a little upset. You know, without this thing, how could he threaten Zhang Siwei to obey?

For a moment, Zhang Jing, who had been talking softly, finally lost some patience and asked, "How can Mr. Fushan take out the things?"

"When I see you next time." He Xinyin said five words concisely. Seeing Zhang Jing's face turned pale, he immediately said coldly, "Although I don't like the power masters no matter when, I still have a few friends in the capital. Eunuch Zhang doesn't want to force me to death and ask me to yell out some things. I will bring you the things to you when I meet here in three days or three days."

He was so angry that he was so angry that he was rude by He Xinyin, but now He Xinyin was willing to take out something. After waiting for three days, Zhang Jing immediately changed into a smile. He set up manpower inside and outside the Lingji Palace. Since He Xinyin came today, his whereabouts would be completely in his hands. At that time, he was still afraid that he would not know who he had hidden Gao Gong's manuscripts? Moreover, he brought He Xinyin to the capital to find out his connections?

He nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for good news from Mr. Fushan."

"Then I'll say goodbye first."

Seeing that He Xinyin turned around and left quickly, Zhang Jing was not angry. Instead, he felt that this Southeastern celebrity who had joined the Hu Zongxian shogunate and helped Xu Jie plot against Yan Song was an exaggeration.

However, Zhang Jing soon realized that he was outrageously wrong. Because He Xinyin and his two healthy servants did not return to the temporary residence, he visited many senior officials who happened to be at home today, including Yin Zhengmao, Minister of Revenue, Zhang Xueyan, Minister of War, and Wu Baipeng, Minister of Justice. In addition, several Hanlin people also visited several prominent officials in one breath the next day.

The most terrible thing is that no matter which one he came from, He Xinyin's entourage had a bag that seemed to have something on his back, which made him completely unable to determine whether He Xinyin had collected the document or which one he had collected the document. He was not Feng Bao, who was in charge of the factory guards, and it was impossible for him to check all the high-ranking officials. Moreover, after such a high-profile appearance, He Xinyin actually lived in a famous inn in the capital, adjacent to the mansion of Li Wei of Wuqing. This made him dare not easily mobilize too many people to follow, let alone silence him after he got the things.

Because his acquaintance among the factory guards had long revealed that Feng Bao had begun to call on the factory guards in full, monitoring many important ministers in the court, especially Zhang Siwei, the third assistant of the cabinet, as well as him and Zhang Cheng! He Xinyin came out to meet him in private yesterday and quietly gave Zhang Cheng a trap, so that he could show off his head nearby, and he was already taking great risks.

It is naturally impossible to say that He Xinyin has friendship with so many high-ranking officials. Celebrities are divided into many circles, and high-ranking officials are also divided into many circles. He Xinyin has an ordinary relationship with many famous officials, and is even more incompatible with most high-ranking officials. But now due to the situation, he doesn't care about this old face. With the excuse of raising funds for a college in Huguang, he actually visited one by one. Until the afternoon of the third day, he did not go out in the guest room, and only let two healthy servants guard outside the door. Just when he was interested, he was flipping through a newly printed Romance of a certain Western country at hand, he heard a knock on the door, saying that it was a friend who sent tea and cleaned it.

He didn't raise his head and ordered to come in. After a short-dressed little guy entered the room, he glanced at him and saw someone closing the door lightly, but he looked around for a while. He smiled and joked, "What are you doing sneakily? Someone is watching outside, and the idle people can't wait to come in. You are smart and know how to dress up as a guy to come to see me."

"Uncle He, why are you so sharp-eyed?" Xiaobei then raised his head, quickly stepped forward and put down the things in his hand, and then said, "What's the matter that makes you so much trouble?"

"Did Fulin ask you to bring Gao Xinzheng's manuscripts?"

"Hey, Uncle He, did you agree with him in advance?" Xiaobei raised his eyebrows, rolled up his trouser legs, took down all the documents tied to his legs, and put them on the table. Then he looked at He Xinyin with puzzlement, "My husband took out the most taboo pictures, and the rest are all here. Since you need this thing, why did you send it to him specifically?"

"I thought this thing was useless to me, and maybe it was useful to him. I didn't expect that someone now forced me to use this thing for a transaction. He was so smart that he knew that I was so powerful that he was sending someone to send me this thing." Speaking of this, He Xinyin looked through the manuscript, then looked up and said to Xiaobei, "After going back, tell Fulin that the person who threatened me claimed to be Zhang Cheng, the eunuch in the imperial court, who was in charge of the imperial seal, but it was hard to say whether it was true or false. He wanted to be unfavorable to Zhang Taiyue and Feng Shuanglin, so he tried so hard to deceive me into the capital, saying that it was just for this manuscript, but I thought it was also to know who was behind me except Xu Huating."

Xiaobei thought of Wang Fulin's judgment after learning that He Xinyin had made great fanfare in the capital last night, and he couldn't help but feel that these two people were really teachers and students. Even if He Xinyin taught Wang Fulin's swordsmanship, not strategy. She knew that she could not match the two of them in these overall situations or details, and she didn't dare to delay too long, so she rushed to pour tea while starting to clean the house and pack up her things, but asked: "Will Uncle He give the manuscript to Zhang Cheng and go back immediately?"

"No, he asked me to go to Beijing all the way, it would never be so simple. Besides, he reported my name to me, so how could I leave so simply? Instead of being robbed and killed halfway through, it would be better to tell others that I was in the capital with great fanfare and then wait and see what happened. I lived in the third house in Tangzi Hutong in Xiaoyongfang before, but I have never been there after seeing Zhang Cheng. Remember to go there when you go back. I hid something in the study, which was the harvest of Lu Changli. Just in case, remember to bring it to Fulin. Look, this is the key, you don't have to climb over the wall again."

Xiaobei knew that if she stayed in the house for too long, it would be very suspicious, so she immediately agreed. When she left the house, she went to the tea room and finally put her clothes on a bad guy. She gently climbed over the wall and entered a garment shop next door. After changing her clothes and slipping out, she met Yan's mother, who was the one who was supporting him, and immediately rushed to Tangzi Hutong.

Sure enough, unlike the inn that had been monitored by several eyeliners, there were no idle people in He Xinyin's temporary residence before. Moreover, because the neighbors were all simple-popular officials, the master and servant opened the door with the keys and there was not even a person who meddled in other people's business.

Instead, Xiaobei took some effort to search for that thing in the study. Fortunately, she knew that Lu Guangwu had done something under He Xinyin's order. He searched carefully for the content one by one, and finally found two seemingly inconspicuous notes in the corner. When she and Yan's mother locked the door and left the house, they made a big circle and changed back to women's clothing at the Xu family. When they took the bus back to their own house, the sun had already set.

After experiencing such a toss, she looked exhausted at all. She went into the study and threw the book to Wang Fulin. After a few words, her face darkened.

"Fortunately, the spies who monitor our family and the Xu family have been removed, so I can do so smoothly. But you had sent a secret letter to Zhang Hong before, and Zhang Hong also noticed that he was alarmed by Feng Bao. Uncle He is now threatened by Zhang Cheng. If he is not good, he may be involved. Can we help him escape?"

"It's very difficult, and Mr. He has already made a high-profile appearance, so he can't hide it any longer. Moreover, the person who is looking for Mr. He is actually Zhang Cheng, which makes the matter much more complicated and variable. The most important thing is whether Zhang Cheng does this, it's still a bad thing. Mr. He cannot leave the capital easily now!"

Xiaobei hesitated for a moment, but he still said, "If possible, can you save Master Gao? After all, his father's previous posthumous gifts and funeral sacrifices were decided by him when he was in office."

Otherwise, Hu Zongxian would have committed suicide for so many years in prison, but he still had a stigma!

"I think too, but now the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop..." Wang Fulin pulled his hair with some distress and sighed deeply, "The Chief Auxiliary has only been walking for a few days, and the demons are already dancing around. There are really no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king!"

At this moment, he heard a voice coming from outside the study door: "Young Master, Young Master Lu is here in Xinchang!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Fulin couldn't help but exchange a wink with Xiaobei. At this critical moment, Lu Guangwu actually came? Is it a pure coincidence, or did he arrive in the capital after hearing the news?

But with the talented and brave Lu Guangwu, He Xinyin doesn’t have to worry about safety on the way as long as he leaves Beijing!
