Wanli Arrived - Chapter41

You Chi was very satisfied with Liu Shouyou's answer. He had achieved his goal.

You Chi smiled as he picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Lord Liu's tea is really good. It seems that I will have to trouble you often in the future."

"Since Housekeeper You likes it, it's naturally good to come often. I will get someone to send some over later." Liu Shouyou said with a smile.

"That's for the best!" You Chi also replied with a smile. The two of them had a tacit understanding.

Dongchang.

Feng Bao sat on the chair and listened to San De Zi's report with an expressionless face.

From the moment Zhang Juzheng entered the palace to how Zhang Juzheng met the Empress Dowager and what he said, everything was reported in detail.

After saying this, San De Zi retreated to the side and stood respectfully.

The atmosphere in the prison was a little low. Everyone was waiting for Feng Bao to speak.

No one dared to say anything. This matter was obviously not a small matter. Moreover, the possibility of Feng Bao getting angry was too high.

"Zhang Juzheng still made a move!" Feng Bao didn't care and said indifferently.

Feng Bao had already expected this situation.

Zhang Juzheng's move was still fast, accurate, and ruthless. In an instant, he had seized his weak spot.

Why could he seize someone's weak spot? Wasn't it because of his power to investigate the case?

If his power was cut off, he naturally wouldn't be able to seize Zhang Juzheng. However, Zhang Juzheng also couldn't break his power, so it was like adding sand.

This kind of thing was what civil officials were best at. It wasn't a new method.

"Liu Shouyou is very determined!" Feng Bao thought of the Imperial Bodyguard Commander and his face was a little gloomy.

The eunuchs who had power in the court basically started as the First Factory Guard, whether it was Wang Zhi or Liu Jin.

This time, Feng Bao was trying to force Liu Shouyou. Looking at his attitude, it was obvious that Liu Shouyou was not guiding Feng Bao.

"This Liu Shouyou doesn't know how to appreciate favors. He should be taught a lesson!" Xu Jue stood aside and said angrily.

"It's normal for the descendants of famous officials to disdain associating with eunuchs like us."

Feng Bao waved his hand as if he didn't care at all. "It's just that I've always been hoping for luck. Now that luck is gone, there's no need to look forward to it."

After all, the factory and the guards were one body. Although they fought against each other, it was either the east wind suppressing the west wind or the west wind suppressing the east wind.

Be it the Imperial Bodyguard or Dongchang, they were basically in the same pot as the civil officials.

However, Liu Shouyou was the descendant of a famous official and the son of an official, so it was reasonable for him to be more partial to the civil officials.

"Alright, since things have come to this point, we can continue." Feng Bao glanced at Xu Jue and said directly, "Is there any problem on your side?"

"Godfather, don't worry. It's absolutely safe!" Xu Jue nodded with a confident look on his face.

Turning his head to look at San Dezi, Feng Bao said with a smile, "Since Liu Shouyou wants to get involved, then let him. Later, you go and tell Liu Shouyou that we will interrogate the Minister Of The Crown again tonight. Ask him to come and take a look."

"Yes, godfather!" San Dezi nodded and agreed respectfully.

When the sky turned dark, Liu Shouyou saw San Dezi. He also obtained this fellow.

After San Dezi left, Liu Shouyou's face darkened.

It was certain that Feng Bao would get the news, but Liu Shouyou didn't expect Feng Bao to react so quickly.

Looking at the current situation, Feng Bao seemed to be waiting for him. This was not good. Feng Bao had dug a trap for him!

"Your Excellency, what should we do?"

Lu Zhengsheng looked at Liu Shouyou's changing expression and said hesitantly, "Should we get the Minister Of The Crown to come to our North Town Provost?

At that time, won't he say whatever we want him to say? "

Glaring at Lu Zhengsheng, Liu Shouyou said angrily, "Do you think that Feng Bao is an idiot?

Would he be stupid enough to hand the person over to us? "

"We were involved later, and we're redeeming ourselves by doing good deeds. If we really kidnap the criminal, do you think that Feng Bao won't go back and complain?

Moreover, Feng Bao is waiting for us to do this. At that time, we'll be accused of colluding with assassins. "

As he spoke, Liu Shouyou stopped, and his face became serious. "What did you just say?"

Lu Zhengsheng was being scolded, and he was stunned when he heard Liu Shouyou's words. "I said, get the Minister Of The Crown to come to our North Town Provost!"

"No, the next sentence!" Liu Shouyou waved his hand to interrupt Lu Zhengsheng and asked again.

"At that time, he'll say whatever we want him to say!" Lu Zhengsheng didn't understand, so he said carefully.

Liu Shouyou sighed. "That's the main point. If you can think of it, Feng Bao can naturally think of it. If you can do it, Feng Bao can naturally do it.

If the Minister Of The Crown keeps pressuring Dongchang, won't he say whatever Feng Bao wants him to say? "

"Your Excellency, I got involved, but not only did I not get anything out of him, but I also became a witness for Dongchang. Feng Bao is really sinister."

There was one more thing that Liu Shouyou didn't mention, and that was that this assassin might have been sent by Feng Bao.

If that was the case, then this person would listen to Feng Bao even more. He would bite whoever Feng Bao wanted him to bite.

"Who is Feng Bao targeting?" Liu Shouyou's face darkened. He couldn't figure it out.

"Go. Personally go to the Zhang Manor and find You Qi. Tell him my conjecture." Liu Shouyou thought about it for a moment, but he still couldn't figure it out. He decided not to think about it any further and directly sent Lu Zhengsheng to find Zhang Juzheng.

Liu Shouyou analyzed for a long time. He was sure that it wasn't targeting Zhang Juzheng, because Zhang Juzheng wasn't, but Feng Bao was.

Blame it on himself?

That wasn't possible. The Imperial Bodyguard might have neglected his duty, but it was ridiculous to accuse him of plotting to assassinate the Emperor.

Who was Feng Bao going to frame?

Was it really Qi Jiguang, the Governor-General of Jiliao?

Qi Jiguang was a famous anti-Japanese general and the Commander-In-Chief of Jiliao. If Qi Jiguang was implicated, it would be a big case.

"Let's go to Dongchang!"

Since he couldn't figure it out, he might as well go and take a look. Liu Shouyou made up his mind and went to Dongchang with his men. When he arrived at Dongchang, everything would be clear.

When Liu Shouyou arrived at Dongchang, Feng Bao was already waiting for Liu Shouyou in prison.

Seeing Liu Shouyou, Feng Bao said with a smile, "Lord Liu, you're here. You're finally here."

"Compared to the Imperial Bodyguard, our people in Dongchang are far inferior. Why don't we let the Imperial Bodyguard do the trial?"

Liu Shouyou was moved. Feng Bao was really trying to trick him. If he hadn't thought it through, he might have agreed.

Then, the result of the trial would be his, so he couldn't take the blame.
