    After receiving Jin Chao¡¯s letter, Cao Ziheng came to see her the next day.

    Gu Jinchao invited him to sit in the flower hall and asked about the accounts first.  Cao Ziheng wore a gray straight jacket and wore a turban on his head like an ordinary old scholar.  But he seemed very energetic.  He also brought a box of fine bamboo leaf green tea to Gu Jinchao.

    He then talked about Zhang Julian: "After receiving the letter from my wife, I thought for a whole night about how to tell you about this person." He hesitated, "Master Zhang is the only person in this dynasty who has won three yuan in a row" The so-called three yuan in a row.  , that is, he successively received Xie Yuan, Hui Yuan and Zhuang Yuan. Zhang Julian was also a very talented person when he was young.

    "I'm afraid you also know something. Master Zhang was originally from Jiangling, Jingzhou Prefecture. His family was poor when he was young, and he studied hard. Later, Lian Zhongsanyuan went to the Hanlin Academy to observe politics. Master Yuan You, who was the bachelor's student at the Hanlin Academy at that time, was his teacher.  At that time, Mr. Yuan was pushing for reforms, but he was opposed by Mr. Gao, the chief minister of the cabinet. He failed to implement the reforms and was demoted. Mr. Zhang also returned to his hometown of Jiangling. During this period, he was poor and depressed. Later, he met Mr. Gu, the governor of Huguang, and he rose to prominence all the way.  Joined the cabinet. Mr. Zhang is good at checking and balancing power, and now the world is in good order, which can be attributed to Mr. Zhang"

    Cao Ziheng hesitated for a moment: "According to Lao Cao's observation, Mr. Zhang experienced ups and downs in his early years and was extremely eager to control power. Mr. Zhang himself was also resourceful enough, so in the sixth year of Longqing, he joined forces with Feng Chengshan to become the chief minister of the cabinet. All this happened  There is no suspense. It¡¯s just that Master Zhang takes power too seriously and is really cold-blooded. Master Zhang Mo, who used to follow him, died in the Hubu Prison, and Master Zhang didn¡¯t even go to pay homage"

    Gu Jin had heard about Zhang Julian in his previous life.  If we say they are ruthless, there are a few people in the officialdom who are clean.  Even Chen Sanye, Gu Jinchao also believed that Chen Sanye must have done many things that were against morality when he didn't know about it.

    It¡¯s just that Zhang Julian¡¯s desire to control power is indeed stronger than many people.

    Cao Ziheng didn¡¯t know why Gu Jinchao suddenly asked about Zhang Julian.

    It turns out that when she inquired about Mr. Song, he had something to do with her, and Mr. Zhang was Chen Sanye¡¯s teacher, so there shouldn¡¯t be any need to do this.

    Cao Ziheng thought of the recent major cases and felt that the two should be vaguely related.

    He then said: "Madam, I have one more thing to say. Do you know about the official salt reselling case?"

    Gu Jinchao shook his head and said with a smile: "The women in the inner courtyard are probably talking about trivial matters." The matter was not too big, and they were the last ones to get wind of it.

    Cao Ziheng lowered his voice: "This matter has not spread yet. I also heard from my colleagues. Yu Qing colluded with officials and businessmen to make huge profits by reselling official salt. Everyone from the county magistrate to the salt transfer envoy to the governor was involved. I'm afraid this time  There are more than a dozen officials who have been dismounted. Lord Wang Xuanfan is the teacher of the Salt Envoy of Duyuan, and has been a good friend of the governor of South Zhili for many years, so he is also involved."

    Gu Jinchao thought that Mr. Chen had been leaving early and coming back late these days, and sometimes he was so busy that he didn't come back even after she fell asleep.

    ¡°Reselling official salt¡­the governor of Southern Zhili¡­these things sound very familiar.

    Gu Jinchao's heart sank.  She remembered that the assassination of Mr. Chen happened at this time!

    She felt a little nervous in her heart, and she thought for a moment before asking: "Is Mr. Chen presiding over this case?"

    Cao Ziheng shook his head and said: "I heard that a doctor from the Ministry of Punishment asked. Zhang Ling, the young minister of Dali Temple who stepped down during the river robbery case, fled to Yuqing and was caught and brought back to the capital. This doctor was originally trying him for his escape.  , who knew he would ask about such a big thing. When this came out, it first alarmed the Minister of Punishment, and even went to the cabinet. Mr. Zhang was shocked. He specifically asked Mr. Chen to assist the Ministry of Punishment in re-investigating the river robbery case"

    " Gu Jinchao moved his hand. Mr. Chen should have been assassinated at this time but who assassinated him?

    Mr. Chen Sanye never talked to her about court affairs, and he didn't want her to have to deal with these things.  What would Mr. Chen think if she reminded him verbally?

    Gu Jinchao pondered for a long time before asking Qingpu to escort Cao Ziheng out of the house, and told him: "If Mr. Cao knows about such a thing in the future, you can come to me and tell me. If others ask, just say you are here to reconcile accounts."  The method of sending the message was unreliable.

    The Chen family is Mr. Chen¡¯s territory. Every day¡¯s letters and carriages going in and out of the house must be checked.  The Chen family's backyard looks peaceful, but every guard in the courtyard has their own skills. The outer courtyard is even more heavily guarded, and the guards in Heyan Tower are all very skilled.

    Cao Ziheng agreed and retreated.

    "Collusion between officials and businessmen is a serious crime that harms the imperial court. This matter has actually spread in the officialdom. For a while, there is a lot of noise, and everyone who is slightly involved is in danger.  Chen Sanye has been ordered to arrest Zheng Ci, the minister of Dali Temple, and Wu Xinhuai, the salt transport envoy.??Many ministers are involved.  After interrogating them for several days, they were basically all arrested.  But the thing he wanted to ask the most was how deeply Wang Xuanfan was involved, and several people gave very vague answers.

    The person most closely involved with Wang Xuanfan should be Governor Liu Hanzhang, but officials at the governor level cannot be arrested just because they want, and they need the approval of the cabinet.

    "But Zhang Julian was not motivated enough in this matter, and it was not good to involve too much.  Especially since he vaguely knew that this matter was related to Wang Xuanfan.

    Chen Sanye returned to the cabinet from the Ministry of Justice and showed the interrogation files to Zhang Julian.

    "Xiaguan feels that although these few people are crucial, they are not the most important. After all, there are many hubs for official salt transportation. If there is no one to protect them, it is impossible that this matter has not been discovered for so many years. But from these few people  According to the interrogation, Liu Hanzhang may not be clean either"

    Zhang Julian looked at it carefully, picked up the tea cup and drank tea and said: "The turmoil is too great and the evidence is not clear. Let's investigate for a few more days."

    Chen Yanyun agreed and put away the files: "I want to go to Dali Temple to check the files on Zheng Ci's interrogation of Zhang Ling. Since the relationship between the two is unusual, there should be something fishy involved."

    Zhang Julian nodded, lightly clasped his fingers on the table, and looked up at Wang Xuanfan.  Caihe and Chen Yanyun said, "Look carefully."

    Wang Xuanfan's face turned pale.

    When Chen Yanyun came out of the cabinet, Wang Xuanfan followed him.  Stop him: "Master Chen, stay here."

    Chen Yanyun handed the file to Jiang Yan beside him, looked back at Wang Xuanfan, smiled and said, "Master Wang, what's the matter?"

    Wang Xuanfan said coldly: "Don't bully others too much. It's time to stop after you've benefited. What are you going to do if you continue like this? Do you think I, Wang Xuanfan, will just sit back and wait for death Don't push me too hard."

    Chen Yanyun looked at him very calmly: "Mr. Wang, you understand the principle of success and defeat. If you want to fight back, just come and don't ask for sympathy from me. Do you think I will sympathize with you?"

    Wang Xuanfan was so angry that his chest trembled: "Chen Yanyun, could I have killed you to death?"

    Mr. Chen Sanye smiled kindly and said, "Then I would like to thank Mr. Wang for not killing him."

    If there was a chance to kill him, would Wang Xuanfan not let him go?  It's just that I can't catch him.  Now that he had caught Wang Xuanfan, how could he show mercy.  Just come and do whatever he wants, just be afraid of him keeping a low profile.

    By the time we returned from Dali Temple, it was completely dark.

    It started pouring rain, thundering and lightning.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: Gu Jinchao was sitting on the Arhat bed making autumn shoes and socks for Mr. Chen. He saw the heavy rain pouring outside, and the rain curtain separated the verandah from the yard. It was so dark that he could not see anything clearly.  Caifu walked quickly from the yard holding an umbrella and wrung out the wet skirt under the verandah.

    The little girl called her ¡®Sister Caifu¡¯ and picked out a curtain for her to come in.

    Caifu bent down and saluted Gu Jinchao, and said, "There is no water leakage at Miss Fourth's place It's just that she was afraid of thunder, so she was so scared that she hid in the quilt and refused to sleep. In the past, she was always taken care of by Aunt An, but Aunt An has not come back yet  ¡­¡±

    Is Chen Xi afraid of thunder?  Gu Jinchao put down his needle and thread and sighed, "Bring me an oil umbrella. I'll go see her."

    Cai Fu found an oil umbrella and came out, and accompanied Jin Chao to the backyard.

    There is some lily incense on the desk in Chen Xi¡¯s room to repel mosquitoes, and tiger cloth pillows are placed on the canopy bed.  She huddled in the quilt, and the girls didn't dare to come near, and they were all anxious.

    When Gu Jinchao saw that the window sash was still open, he told them: "Go and close the window sash first and wait outside."

    The girls agreed, closed the windows and filed out.

    Chen Xi heard her voice and poked his eyes out of the quilt.

    Thunder rumbled, and she hurriedly retracted her head, her voice crying: "Mom, I'm afraid"

    Gu Jinchao remembered that he was also afraid of thunder when he was a child, and his heart softened a little.  He sat by the bed and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, mother is here with you"

    Chen Xi moved closer to her, stretched out a pair of small hands to hold her hand: "Mom, would you like to sleep with me"

    Gu Jinchao thought that Mr. Chen hadn't come back yet and that she had something important to tell him, so she hesitated for a moment: "Sister Xi, how about mother coax you to sleep? I won't leave until you fall asleep, and let Sister Caifu accompany you."  I¡¯ll stick with you, okay?¡±

    Chen Xi said nothing, but retracted his hand in disappointment.  There was another thunder, and she shivered harder.

    Gu Jinchao had no choice but to take off his satin shoes and go to Sister Xi's bed and hold her in his arms.  Sister Xi's little body immediately came up and pressed tightly against hers.  Jin Chao felt that she was covered in sweat from being simmered in the quilt, and the room was stuffy, so he asked Caifu to bring a cattail leaf fan to fan Sister Xi to relieve her fever.  Sister Xi didn't say anything, she just kept trembling.

    If you were an ordinary child, you would act coquettishly and cry to your mother.  Just like she pretended to be a little mouse biting her grandmother's hand.

    Gu Jinchao handed the cattail leaf fan to Caifu and patted her back to comfort her.

    After a while, there was finally no thunder, and Chen Xi was no longer afraid, but he kept holding her and fell asleep in her arms.

    The rain had gradually subsided. At this time, Xiuqu came over with an umbrella to report that Mr. Chen was back.

    Gu Jinchao carefully moved Chen Xi out and let Caifu watch her sleep.  She went to see Mr. Chen and came over.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)She was very bored, so she asked Caifu to bring a cattail leaf fan to fan Sister Xi to relieve her fever.  Sister Xi didn't say anything, she just kept trembling.
