Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Three: The Murderer

The man named Mr. Lushan in front of me is obviously the most stubborn existence among the thieves.

Because of this, it was not easy for Emperor Apocalypse to pry something out of his mouth.

How large are these rebels and how many people are involved?

I still know nothing at the moment.

But what is certain is that... these people are terrible.

It involved the senior officials of the Jinyiwei, who acted secretly and obviously had been active for many years, but before that, the court knew nothing about it.

At this time, Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhang Jing and said, "In this way, have you mastered some things?"

"Yes." Zhang Jing said seriously: "I don't know what Mr. Lushan is now, but... I believe... someone knows."

"Who is it?" said Emperor Aoki.

Zhang Jingyi immediately said, "At the beginning... I suspected that Luo Yangxing, the Jinyiwei Tongzhi. This is because, according to the tip, there are two people who are most likely Mr. Lushan... One of them is Deng Wen, and Deng Wen is indeed very suitable for Mr. Lushan's conditions, especially if there is one, which makes me particularly alert... That is, the person named Deng Wen... actually lives in the guild."

After pausing, he continued, "In this way... many things can be explained. If Mr. Lushan lives in a private house and wants to contact people of all kinds, if he is targeted by the Jinyiwei, it will inevitably seem suspicious. But if he lives in an inn, the inn will be talkative, and it will definitely be inconvenient to act. Only this guild hall is actually the safest."

"On the one hand, the large and small guild halls in the capital are mostly fellow townsmen's guild halls. After these fellow townsmen's guild halls are not suspicious, and the general guild halls are also involved in it because they are used for fellow townsmen's friendship. Even if there is any problem, they are not worried... ordinary servants and lieutenants dare to come to the door. What's more... the biggest advantage here is that they can use this place to communicate with people and form a relatively stable interpersonal relationship network."

"So, I decided... Deng Wen... was probably Mr. Lushan... But... I didn't act rashly immediately at that time. This was because... I wanted to rely on Mr. Lushan and this guild hall to thoroughly find out these people and uproot them. So when I heard that Your Majesty was going to the Prison, I thought that this Prison was under the charge of Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and I suddenly felt that something was wrong."

Although Emperor Tianqi knew the result, he did not know the process. At this time, his curiosity aroused, so he said with a little anxious: "Why is this?"

Zhang Jing smiled and said, "Because it's very simple, this guild hall is related to the Luo family. If I remember correctly, Luo Yangxing's father liked to deal with scholars since the Wanli period. His ancestral home was Hunan, so he set up the Hunan guild hall to accommodate those guilds who came to the capital from their original hometown, and it is said that he has taken good care of them."

"And this Deng Wen is right in this guild hall."

At this time, many powerful people in the capital were very popular to establish fellow townsmen. After all, those who could come to the capital from their original hometown were often well-known people from all over the world. Some went to Beijing to take the exam, and some were doing business. Ordinary people were not qualified to go out of such far-reaching families. After establishing fellow townsmen, not only did they make the connections between them closely, but they could also exchange interests with the help of fellow townsmen's relationships. This was a very good deal.

Luo Yangxing's father was the commander of the Jinyiwei at the time. He dared not say that he was powerful, but he also said that he was powerful for a while. With the help of this guild hall, he gained deeper connections. After those who came to Beijing arrived in the capital, they were taken care of by the Luo family, so they naturally respected the Luo family.

The person behind this guild hall is the Luo family. Of course, they would not worry that anyone would dare to investigate. To be honest, even if Wei Zhongxian wanted to investigate, he would be afraid of turning against the Luo family directly. If he really wanted to investigate, he would probably say hello to the Luo family first.

Since Mr. Lushan was in the guild hall, Zhang Jingyi immediately guessed that this might be related to the Luo family.

It was precisely because of this that after knowing that Emperor Tianqi had arrived at the Nanzhen Fushi, Zhang Jing was immediately alert and realized that this might be a conspiracy, so he rushed over.

Emperor Tianqi nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that you are close to half of my wisdom. You can guess so deeply. But... you have said so much, the person who rebelled was called Mr. Lushan, and the other one was Luo Yangxing. These two people... Everyone knows about the rebellion, but... how can you know the true identity of Mr. Lushan? Could it be that you have any way to let him speak?"

Zhang Jingyi smiled again and said, "It's easy to ask him to speak. He will speak in less than a day."

Emperor Tianqi liked Zhang Jingyi's confident look and couldn't help but laugh.

"one day?"

"One day!" Zhang Jingyi said confidently.

"What method?"

Zhang Jing said: "Because... Mr. Lushan is just an errand runner."

Mr. Lushan, who was hanging in the air, heard Zhang Jing say that he would definitely speak, and his face showed disdain.

In his opinion, he had long been ready to be crushed and had long planned to never compromise with the foolish monarch and the traitor.

But Zhang Jingyi's next words... made Mr. Lushan froze for a moment, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Emperor Tianqi said in surprise: "Why, he is just a pawn, not the mastermind?"

"He is not worthy!" Zhang Jing curled her lips and smiled, and said calmly.

Emperor Aoki became more and more curious and anxious, and said, "Who is the mastermind?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "I have sent someone to arrest me now, but I am not sure whether this person is the mastermind. When I am arrested, the truth will be revealed."

Emperor Tianqi was an impatient person, and at this time he gritted his teeth and said, "You know how to keep it."

Zhang Jingyi smiled bitterly and said, "This is just a prediction. If the prediction is not successful...will it be embarrassing? In order not to be laughed at by others, of course, the result will come out before it comes out."

Emperor Aoki was a little helpless, and at this time he was energetic and said, "When can I hold it?"

Zhang Jing said: "I have divided my troops into two groups. Now I've gone to get people. I'm afraid I'll be captured soon."

Emperor Tianqi was very excited, but he never asked Mr. Lushan again. Instead, he sat down and said, "Come on, let's take advantage of this gap and talk about your musket. I think that some places can be designed like this. Of course, this steel and wood work may be different. I only use some ideas about my own wood work to apply it, and see if it is suitable."

Zhang Jingyi: “…”

……………………

A magnificent mansion in the capital.

At this time... Wang Cheng had quickly brought his people to surround the mansion.

Then...

Under the rapid whistle, the lieutenants rushed to the front door and the back door began to hit. On the other side, there were already seven or eight teams of lieutenants who set up ladders and climbed through the walls of the courtyards everywhere.

Soon, the mansion was in chaos.

People run around and call.

The man who climbed into the courtyard wall first opened the middle door quickly.

Then...there was a sound of fighting.

With the sound of muskets and the sound of gold and iron clashing.

Wang Cheng had already pressed the knife and led a team of people to enter the mansion from the middle door where the hole was opened.

In the mansion, someone occasionally wanted to resist stubbornly, but was quickly surrounded by teams of lieutenants and finally killed directly.

When Wang Cheng walked through the second gate, a team of lieutenants came towards him, and he was already escorting him to him.

The man in charge said, "Thousands of households have been arrested."

Wang Cheng stepped forward, glanced at the person, and sneered: "I didn't expect it, come... search and copy it immediately, and send this person... to the Nanzhen Fushi Department!"

"Here."

Wang Cheng did not rush to go to the Nanzhen Fushi, but continued to sit in this mansion and ordered people to search.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before many things were found.

"There are some letters that have not been burnt yet..."

"Thousands of households...here...look here..."

…………

Actually, Zhang Jingyi didn’t understand what Emperor Tianqi said very much.

Because from the beginning, he was actually only responsible for roughly describing the structure of the musket, and the real thing was done by the craftsmen.

In fact, to put it bluntly, if it is placed in later generations, it belongs to the category of theoretical physics, and it is just to propose theories and directions to reduce the cost of trial and error for everyone.

And how to apply it is someone else's business.

However, Emperor Tianqi kept talking, spitting out and talking for a long time, and finally stared at Zhang Jingyi tightly and said enthusiastically: "What do you think?"

Zhang Jing had no choice but to be confused and woke up like a dream, saying, "What Your Majesty said... is really enlightening me... The so-called "I heard the truth in the morning and died in the evening..."

When Emperor Tianqi heard this, he frowned and said, "It seems that you still don't understand, so I'll tell you again."

Zhang Jingyi: “…”

Zhang Jingyi suddenly had the illusion that he was unlucky!

Fortunately, at this time, anxious and noisy footsteps came from outside, and then a captain hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Prince... I have taken it."

Mr. Lushan, who had been hanging in the air, listened to Emperor Tianqi for a long time, and was like Zhang Jingyi, just like listening to the heavenly book.

At this time, I heard that someone had taken it.

His body trembled slightly, and then he looked nervously in the direction of the door.

At this time... someone was taken in.

Mr. Lushan looked at the person nervously... and then... a look of despair appeared on his face.

Emperor Tianqi was also shocked when he saw this person.

Zhang Jingyi stepped forward and said to the man: "Taikang Bo, didn't expect... we're meeting again."

This Taikangbo is Zhang Guoji, the father of the former queen!

Zhang Guoji had already felt something at this time, but he changed his previous cowardice and shouted: "Hmph! Zhuzi!"
