This is a savory news.

Eunuch Wei's expression was very solemn. He smelled the crisis from Zi Yatou's movements.

My father-in-law carefully examined the jade pendant and confirmed that it was the piece he gave to the imperial concubine when he was in the West Mountain last year.

But there is no doubt about Zi Yatou's identity. This is the Empress's confidant.

In order to win over his father-in-law, the imperial concubine wanted to marry Zi Yatou to her father-in-law as her wife.

It was originally a good marriage, but because Eunuch Wei thought that the world was not settled and wealth was not over, he would never do anything, so he refused the empress's kindness. Otherwise, he might be thirty-year-old Zheng Shanggong could really become his legal wife.

"What happened?" asked Eunuch Wei.

"Someone in the capital broke into the East Palace and wanted to assassinate me." Zheng Zi said calmly, not feeling shy at all because of her actions just now.

She thought Wei Liangchen would be shocked by the news, but unexpectedly, the other party was just stunned for a moment and asked, "Is the murderer named Zhang Cha?"

"How do you know?" This time it was Zheng Zi's turn to be stunned.

Eunuch Wei did not answer this question because he found it very funny. He had already staged the attack once, why did Zhang Cha, a bad gambling man, still take his old man's path again?

But I don’t know that it was precisely because the time he did that he had associated some people that this caused this major case that has caused the government and the people.

There are many Taos in this world, because it is safe for someone to leave, so someone will continue to leave.

"Where is the murderer now?" Eunuch Wei asked while opening the note.

"Civilized in the Ministry of Justice."

Zheng Zi didn't think much, just thought that someone had already passed the message before her.

She later told Wei Liangchen that the people from the Ministry of Justice had found that Zhang Chai had a relative working with the imperial concubine, but she didn't know who it was.

Eunuch Wei knew who else could be there except Pang Bao, but this time he did not predict.

"You have to find a way quickly, otherwise the Empress's situation will be dangerous. This time, it is not like the last time. Someone really assassinated the young master in the East Palace. The Emperor thought it was the one who asked me to do it." Zheng Zi said nervously.

Eunuch Wei said "um" and lowered his head and looked at the note seriously. After reading it, he obviously looked puzzled.

"What's this?"

"It's the little prince's birth date."

"ah?"

Eunuch Wei's face finally changed. He lowered his head and stared at the little prince's birth date and horoscope written on the note again. After a long time, he carefully rolled the note and put it away, looking up at Zheng Zi: "Do you understand?"

"I don't know anything." Zheng Zi shook her head.

Eunuch Wei didn't say anything else, he knew Zheng Zi knew. But this woman was on the same front as him because the imperial concubine trusted her.

"When will you go back? The empress is under a lot of pressure, you have to follow me quickly." Zheng Zi urged.

But Eunuch Wei said, "I can't go back."

Zheng Zi was stunned: "What should I do if you don't go back?"

"Don't worry, no one can touch a hair of the empress."

Eunuch Wei is very confident about this.

.........

After some court debate, Zhang Wenda, who temporarily handled the affairs of the Ministry of Justice, finally overcome obstacles, and the Thirteenth Division was able to jointly review Zhang Cha.

But on the day of the trial, Li Yongzhen, one of the four major divisions in the East Factory, came to the Ministry of Justice and said that he wanted to listen.

Minister Yang Qiming refused Li Yongzhen's hearing because he had not received the imperial edict, but Li Yongzhen said that the case trial was the right of the East Factory. If the Ministry of Justice insisted on not allowing it, the East Factory would definitely suspect that there was something unspeakable. He should report to His Majesty that the case was transferred to the East Factory for questioning.

How could the Ministry of Justice transfer the criminal to the East Factory again? Zhang Wenda agreed to Li Yongzhen to listen. After a while, the Thirteenth Secretariat officials began to try.

However, there was no new result in the trial. Most officials adopted a calm attitude and wanted to execute Zhang Bi, not to implicate others.

Zhang Wenda had no choice but to let Wang Zhicai retrial alone.

This time, Wang Zhicai made progress. Under his temptation, Zhang Cha finally explained that his relative was Pang Bao next to the concubine.

Wang Zhicai, who was overjoyed, quickly reported the situation to Zhang Wenda and Yang Qiming.

"The Zhangchao's original name is Zhang Wuer. He was from Henan. He lived in Jingeryu, Jizhou a few years ago. His father has passed away. His relatively close relatives include Ma Sanjiu, Li Waifu and others. They make a living by chopping wood and hunting..."

Wang Zhicai said that about a month ago, Zhang Cha lost the gambling after selling the goods in Jeju. The creditor forced him to pay off the debt. He was unable to repay the debt, so he went to find Pang Bao, wanting to ask Pang Bao to borrow some money from him.

Unexpectedly, Pang Bao asked Zhang Cha to do what he said, and after that, he gave him 30 acres of land. So Zhang Cha followed Pang Bao to Beijing, came to a big house and met another eunuch, who gave Zhang Cha a delicious food and drink.

A few days later, the eunuch took Zhang Cha into the imperial city, handed over another jujube wooden stick to Zhang Cha, and guided him on the way to the Eastern Palace.

He told me, "Just rush in and beat someone in a red robe with a stick. That's a traitor. If you beat him to death, it doesn't matter. I will save you."

"Later, when Zhang Mai was committing an offense in front of the East Palace Gate, Wei Zhongxian, the gangster who burned the stove in the East Palace, was captured."

Wang Zhicai said in general.

"Who is the other eunuch?" Yang Qiming asked.

Zhang Wenda said, "What Zhang Ma told me was to wear a red robe, not a yellow robe?"

Wang Zhicai said that Zhang Cha didn't know who the other eunuch was. He also asked the eunuch if he asked him to have a man in yellow robe, but Zhang Cha bit him to death and said that he was just a red robe.

"This is not the assassination of the prince."

Zhang Wenda frowned and said, "If Zhang Mai told me, the case is probably the case of eunuchs seeking revenge between them, and has nothing to do with the prince, nor with Concubine Zheng."

"How to report this?" Yang Qiming also had a headache.

"Not reporting now."

Zhang Wenda made an idea and asked Wang Zhicai to secretly investigate Pang Bao. At the same time, he went to discuss with the eunuch in charge of the East Palace, Wang An.

Why do you look for Wang An? Because Wang An is the only eunuch in red robe in the East Palace.

Yang Qiming and Wang Zhicai had no objection.

Soon, Wang Zhicai found out that Pang Bao was originally a gang under the Tianjin tax envoy Ma Tang. A few years ago, it was almost the time when Zhang Ma Cha arrived in Jizhou. Pang Bao left Ma Tang's road and went to the palace to serve Concubine Zheng.

"Why are you getting involved in Ma Tang again?"

Zhang Wenda frowned even more. Ma Tang is not easy to mess with. He is quite strong in the Sili Supervisor and his status can be called an internal minister.

Yang Qiming asked, "What do you say about Eunuch Wang?"

Zhang Wendao Wang An did not recognize Pang Bao, and had no grudges with Pang Bao. Instead, he had some conflicts with another favored eunuch around Zheng Fei, Cui Wensheng, who was in charge of the Yuhua Bureau.

"Are the eunuch you said that he brought Zhang Cha to the palace? Cui Wensheng?" Zhang Wenda asked.

Wang Zhicai and Yang Qiming dare not make a judgment.

"It's better to report this way first..." Yang Qiming suggested.

After listening to it, Zhang Wenda thought it was feasible, so he wrote a memorial and reported it quickly.

But what is puzzling is that Zhang Wenda's memorial only said that it was Pang Bao who instructed Zhang Cha to commit the murder, and mentioned that another eunuch in the palace led Zhang Cha to the palace, but did not mention that Zhang Cha was going to kill the person in red robe.
