Wei and Fu were quite polite. They didn't catch the sucker of Master Zhang, but they slaughtered him hard. After enjoying the ninth level of ice and fire for a night, they led their entourage away from Su Huaiyuan the next morning. Our Master Zhang's master and servant were like fish in water and indulged in the Su Huaiyuan for three days and three nights. At noon on the fourth day, the exhausted Master Zhang's master and servant hired a carriage to return to Liansheng Inn. - There is no way, we have to forgive some Master Zhang's master Zhang. After all, they are the local rich master and servant from small places in the countryside and the servant of the local rich master. They have never seen any big world. It is rare to have a Su Huaiyuan, which is known as the Great Ming Tian Tian, ​​and the historical celebrity Su San Niangzi, Yu Tangchun, has to indulge himself, right?

Indulging in sensuality always costs the price for your body. When I got off the car at the entrance of Liansheng Inn, Zhang Shitou, who got off the car, had his legs weak, and he staggered and sat on the ground with his butt. He couldn't get up for a long time, which made our eldest master both angry and funny. He couldn't help but curse: "Zhang Shitou, look at your bear-like appearance, and you lost my face. After three days of sleeping, seven or eight women were peeing (sound: SUI) so much? If you let you marry eleven wives and concubines like my old man, you won't exhaust you to death in three days?" As he cursed, our eldest master Zhang got off the car with his hand in his hand. He never thought that his legs had just touched the ground, but his legs were as heavy and sour as if they were filled with lead. He was also staggering and unstable, and he sat on Zhang Shitou who was crawling to halfway.

"Ouch!" "Oh!" The master and servant of the live treasure screamed in pain. Master Zhang wanted to struggle to stand up, but found that his physical strength was overdrawn. He had no choice but to shout to the inn, "Waiter, waiter, come and help Master, I get up."

"Brother Zhang, you finally come back. Brother Wei has been waiting for you here for a long time." There was no waiter in the inn, but a familiar voice sounded. Then, a middle-aged man in plain clothes walked out of the inn gate with a smile. Master Zhang looked closely and saw that this person was the elder brother who had bought 100 taels of silver. Xiao Chuan, the Jinyiwei of the East Factory! Master Zhang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stood up and asked, "Brother Xiao, why are you here?"

"Haha, Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, I'm here to congratulate you." Xiao Chuan smiled heartily, then leaned into Master Zhang's ear and whispered: "I have received the news that several reviewers of the Hanlin Academy are very satisfied with your paper. They have already set you as the third place in the first place, and they are ranked first! So Brother hurry up and congratulate you. If you come late, brother, you will blame me for not being etiquette."

"Tanhua, the third place in the first class? Why isn't he the second place in the first class?" Master Zhang was a little confused, thinking that the development of this matter is getting worse than the story of upgrading to the third level? In history, Zhang Haogu clearly passed the second place in the second class?

"Brother, don't you look down on Tanhua? Want to be the second place?" Xiao Chuan misunderstood the meaning of Master Zhang, and hurriedly lowered his voice: "Brother, don't be anxious. The results will be released in a few days. Things will turn around. As long as the brother wants to be the second place, you can find someone to move your joints for you. You must raise your ranking first."

"No, no need." Master Zhang came to his senses and thought to himself that Tanhua would be the only one. Not to mention that he had to pay a lot of money to move the joints, even the title of Tanhua is much better than the second-hand one. Maybe the most famous Tanhua in a few hundred years is my Xiao Zhang Tanhua, let Li Xunhuan stand. At that moment, Master Zhang hurriedly bowed to Xiao Chuan and thanked Xiao Chuan, "Thank you for your care. I have been thinking about my younger brother's affairs. Thank you. Brother, don't rush to leave today. You must have a drink of brother's wedding wine...wait." At this point, Master Zhang remembered something and asked, "By the way, brother, how do you know that I live in this Liansheng Inn?"

"Haha." Xiao Chuan smiled and asked back: "Brother, have you forgotten what Brother Wei did? Dongchang Jinyiwei! There are not many people who can hide the matter in the capital from our Dongchang. Brother Wei not only knows that you live in Liansheng Inn, but also knows that you first lived in Yuelai Inn, and moved here because of a conflict with other customers in the store."

Master Zhang smacked his lips, thinking no wonder everyone said that Dongchang is all over the world, and his nose is indeed more intelligent than a dog. Thinking of this, Master Zhang suddenly had an idea and said it was right. Since the news about the Jinyiwei of the Dongchang Factory is so well-informed, he must know the ins and outs of the Xiong Tingbi case, and must also know why Tianlao did not allow him to visit the whereabouts of the little beauty Xiong Tingbi and Xiong Hu. After thinking about this, Master Zhang quickly grabbed Xiao Chuan's hand and smiled, "I didn't expect that Brother Xiao is so concerned about me, I am grateful. I won't say anything else. Let's go, the best Dongsheng Building in the capital, I will be the host." Xiao Chuan originally came to deliver a letter to Master Zhang with the intention of making money, so he naturally agreed. At that moment, Master Zhang didn't even enter the inn, and directly went to the carriage he had hired with Xiao Chuan and went straight to the most luxurious and incest Dongxing Restaurant in the capital.

After arriving at the restaurant, Mr. Zhang ordered the most expensive table of wine and food, and then took out two hundred taels of silver bills as wedding money to give to Xiao Chuan. Xiao Chuan pretended to be angry and refused again and again, and finally accepted the bills 'rewildered' by Master Zhang. Finally, Xiao Chuan, who was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, patted his chest and said, "Brother Zhang, I have heard that the guest in Room 2, Tianzi, dared to compete with you for a room and hit your entourage. He was so brave! Brother, don't worry, brother, I will take people to clean up them in the afternoon to let them know the consequences of Tai Sui's head getting into trouble!"

"Brother Xiao, forget it, there is a small matter. Anyway, that guy kowtowed and compensated the crime, and then paid the money." Master Zhang shook his head and changed the topic: "There are two small matters. I want to ask the brother for advice, and I hope he will definitely give me advice."

"Brother Zhang has something to ask, and I will say everything." Xiao Chuan agreed immediately. Our Master Zhang is not only generous, but also a privately appointed Jinke Tanhua. He may have a development in the future. Xiao Chuan naturally wanted to have more relationships with our Master Zhang. Master Zhang nodded, gave Zhang Shitou a wink first, and then lowered his voice and asked Xiao Chuan: "Brother Xiao, then I asked- Why did the former Minister of War Xiong Tingbi Xiong go to the Heavenly Prison? And after he got out of the Heavenly Prison, why didn't he even allow me to visit the prison?"

"Brother Zhang, why are you asking this?" Xiao Chuan, who was smiling just now, turned pale with a trembling face, and asked back, "What is your relationship with Xiong Tingbi?"

"It doesn't matter." Master Zhang shook his head and denied it. Xiao Chuan pursed his lips and said tremblingly: "Brother, don't joke around. Since you have nothing to do with Xiong Tingbi, why should you inquire about him? You're still going to visit him in the Heaven Prison?" Master Zhang had no choice but to tell the truth: "Brother Xiao, brother really didn't lie to you. I really have nothing to do with Xiong Tingbi-but I know his daughter Xiong Hu and want to marry his daughter home as a wife, so I asked you."

"Oh, so that's it." Xiao Chuanxian breathed a sigh of relief, and then whispered: "Brother, if you are not the eldest brother, why don't you have a real man? With your talented family background, it's not easy to find a beautiful wife? Why do you need to fall in love with Xiong Tingbi's daughter and get angry?"

"I'm angry?" Master Zhang was even more puzzled and asked, "What did Xiong Tingbi do? Who wants his life? Even marrying his daughter will cause trouble?" Xiao Chuan hesitated a little, not knowing whether he should tell Master Zhang the truth. Master Zhang saw his thoughts, gritted his teeth and took out a pearl as big as a pigeon egg from the package, stuffed it into Xiao Chuan's hand, and whispered: "Brother, please be sure to help me. Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who likes to gossip."

For the sake of silver and pearls, Xiao Chuan finally made up his mind and whispered in Master Zhang's ear: "Brother Zhang, these things are you. Even if other people ask me, I will definitely not know anything - tell you the truth, Xiong Tingbi has caused a big disaster this time. The people who want to kill him in the court include not only the Donglin Party, but also the Wei Eunuch, who are all going to behead him and show him public. Tell me, do you still dare to make a family with such a person?"

"Donglin Party and Eunuch Wei are going to kill him?" Master Zhang was shocked. No matter how shallow his historical knowledge is, he has heard that the Donglin Party and Wei Zhongxian are not in dealing with it. The future father-in-law who is determined in the future can actually cause the Donglin Party and the eunuch Party to join forces to fight and kill. This ability is indeed not only ordinary - of course it is a skill to offend people. Xiao Chuan nodded and sighed: "Yes, this matter is a long story. First of all, Xiong Tingbi does not belong to Eunuch Wei's party, nor does he belong to the Donglin Party, but the Chu Party that has collapsed..."

After Xiao Chuan's detailed explanation, our Master Zhang finally understood the origin of the Xiong Tingbi case. It turned out that since the Donglin Party and the eunuch Party basically controlled the Ming Dynasty, Xiong Tingbi, who belonged to the Chu Party, had basically no place to stand in the court. When he was appointed as the Liaodong Strategic Envoy, he was not only underestimated by Wang Huazhen, the governor of Guangning who was a Donglin Party member, but also almost deprived of military power. As a result, in the second year of Tianqi, Jiannu Nuerhaci led his army to attack Guangning. Wang Huazhen's entire army was wiped out and lost Guangning City, and fled to Xiong Tingbi to seek help. However, Xiong Tingbi had only 5,000 troops in his hands. He had no choice but to hand over the last army to Wang Huazhen to cut off the queen. He led the people of Liaodong to withdraw back to Shanhaiguan, and the entire territory of Liaodong fell into the hands of Jiannu.

All the land north of Shanhaiguan was lost, and someone must have to stand up and take responsibility for this matter. At the beginning, Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty was fair and issued an edict to arrest the culprit Wang Huazhen, while Xiong Tingbi was dismissed. Wei Zhongxian did not make any statement on this matter. But in this way, the Donglin Party quits. Who is Wang Huazhen? The proud student of Ye Xianggao, a great scholar among the 108 stars of the Donglin Party, was convicted.

Didn’t it be a blow to the Donglin Party in the face? So, some people of the Donglin Party attacked Xiong Tingbi. Zou Yuanbiao, the left censor of Tianshenxing, Wang Ji, the Minister of Justice of Tianhuixing, Wang Wenyan, the Minister of the Earth Thief Star Cabinet, Zhou Yingqiu, the Minister of Dali Temple, and other Donglin Party members all attacked Xiong Tingbi, and asked Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen to take the blame, so Xiong Tingbi was confused and was convicted of death with Wang Huazhen.

When Xiao Chuan talked about this, Master Zhang interrupted and asked, "Brother Xiao, since Xiong Tingbi was framed and imprisoned by the Donglin Party, how could Eunuch Wei hate Xiong Tingbi? Logically speaking, since Eunuch Wei regards Donglin Party as a thorn in his eyes, he shouldn't hate Xiong Tingbi who was framed by the Donglin Party?"

"There is no way, Xiong Tingbi is not as smart as Wang Huazhen." Xiao Chuan smiled bitterly: "Wang Huazhen knew that he was in danger of death, and knew that part of the Donglin Party wanted to kill him, so he took the initiative to surrender to Eunuch Wei, exposing some of the Donglin Party's corruption of Liaodong military pay, giving Eunuch Wei an excuse to attack the Donglin Party, so Eunuch Wei of course had to protect him. Another point is that Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, the Donglin Party members that Eunuch Wei hated the most, both stood up and said justice to Xiong Tingbi. Although these people discovered their conscience and knew that Xiong Tingbi might be wronged, in this way, Eunuch Wei hated the house and the wu, and of course he wanted to kill Xiong Tingbi." Speaking of this, Xiao Chuan added mysteriously, "Also, after hearing that Xiong Tingbi was brought to prison, he did something that offended Eunuch Wei very much, so Eunuch Wei has already threatened that it would be impossible to eliminate the hatred in his heart if he didn't kill him."

"What did Xiong Tingbi do? This thing is almost beheaded, and he dares to continue offend the 999-year-old age?" Master Zhang asked in surprise. Xiao Chuan shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile and replied, "I heard from my brother-in-law, Lord Tian, ​​commander of the Jinyiwei. He didn't say anything in detail, and I didn't dare to ask more. The less you know about the above things, the harder your head grows."

Master Zhang remained silent and murmured for a while: "It's so complicated, it's so damn complicated! Some people in the Donglin Party want to kill Xiong Tingbi, and some want to save Xiong Tingbi. Eunuch Wei didn't hate Xiong Tingbi at first, but later he hated Xiong Tingbi so much that he wanted to kill him. The grudge relationship between this is probably more complicated than a mess."

"Brother Zhang is right. For those complicated relationships above, it is better not to be a part of us little people." Xiao Chuan agreed. Master Zhang was silent for a moment and asked again: "Brother Xiao, you are not allowed to visit Xiong Tingbi that day. Why is this for?"

"This is not complicated." Xiao Chuan explained: "After Xiong Tingbi was imprisoned, his two sons came to the capital to find a way to save him, and then bribed a prison guard named Jiang Yingyang. He often went to Tianzhu to visit Xiong Tingbi and discussed how to escape from the prison. Later, the matter was revealed, Jiang Yingyang was arrested, and Eunuch Wei also issued an order not to visit Xiong Tingbi, so as not to collude with him."

"Oh, this is easy to deal with." Master Zhang nodded and asked again: "So Brother Xiao, do you know where Xiong Tingbi's son and daughter live now? I want to meet them."

"I really don't know this." Xiao Chuan shook his head and said, "But others in our Dongchang must know. I'll ask for it for you, it should be fine." Speaking of this, Xiao Chuan kindly reminded: "Brother, it's not that my brother is nagging. You'd better not get involved in Xiong Tingbi's affairs. Otherwise, if something happens, it will be a little bit of a missed your future. In severe cases, it will have to find a way to visit you at the Heavenly Prison."
