What else can Li Shanchang do? Zhang Ren guessed that Zhu Yuanzhang would most likely not let Li Shanchang go. After all, he had made so many arrangements and almost blocked Li Shanchang's escape route from the legal, legal and emotional aspects. Even if the court officials saw something fishy, they would not let Li Shanchang go. Absolutely no one dares to say it at this moment.
Zhang Ren didn't tell Yuan Kai his guess. He could tell that Yuan Kai had an upright personality and was very jealous of his enemies. That is to say, he was serving in the Supervisory Council. If he had to change the department, I'm afraid he had already died many times. I'm back.
Zhang Ren went home and bandaged his wound. He didn't take any rest, but went directly to Jinyiwei with two jars of wine.
Entering Luo Kedi's courtyard, the scene was quite familiar. Senior Sister Li Xue was practicing swordplay, and Luo Kedi was lying on the wall drinking.
Zhang Ren cupped his hands towards Li Xue, then walked to the wall, cupped his hands towards Luo Kedi and said, "This disciple has met Master Luo."
Luo Kedi only glanced at Zhang Ren with his peripheral vision and said calmly: "You still know how to come? I thought you had forgotten that I am your master."
Zhang Ren has never been here since he went home to wait for a visit, not even after he was released from the wait. He was somewhat ashamed and could only put on a flattering smile and said: "Master Luo, don't be angry. , We are all disciples, aren’t we? I have a lot of work these days. I just got some free time and I came here to say hello to you as soon as possible."
Luo Kedi ignored him and just drank by himself.
But Zhang Ren had a way to deal with Master Luo, a drunkard, by bribing him with two jars of good wine.
Zhang Ren raised the prepared wine and smiled at Luo Kedi: "Master Luo, please don't be angry with me. Don't you think I brought you good wine?"
After hearing this, Luo Kedi somersaulted down from the wall, drank down the remaining wine in his hand, and then took the two jars of wine handed over by Zhang Ren.
He seemed a little impatient, so he knocked off one of the mud jars, took a brief sip, and said, "This wine is pretty good, so I guess you've got it right."
Zhang Ren asked with a smile: "So, Master Luo has forgiven his disciple?"
However, Luo Kedi snorted coldly and said, "Humph, I don't know about you, kid? You haven't been here for many days, and you came back with a drink. There must be something wrong with you, kid."
Zhang Ren quickly gave a thumbs up and said, "Master Luo is amazing. You drink so much wine every day and your brain is still so good."
Luo Kedi took another sip and then said, "If you fart, hurry up."
Zhang Ren nodded quickly and asked, "Master Luo, are there any of our Jinyi Guards who practice fast swords in the same way as our senior sister?"
Luo Kedi smacked his lips and said, "It should be... yes?"
Although he holds a position in Jinyiwei, he only drinks and does not work every day, so he doesn't know much about Jinyiwei.
Zhang Ren also asked again: "Are there many people there? Who are there?"
This question was indeed difficult for Luo Ke. He shook his head without concealing it and answered directly: "I don't know."
Zhang Ren patted his face. He had made a mistake. He came to ask Master Luo even though he knew he was unreliable. It would be better to ask Jiang Yu directly.
Zhang Ren didn't say much, just picked up another jar of wine and walked out.
How could Luo Kedi be willing to do this now, "If you don't put down the wine, where are you going to take it?"
Zhang Ren, however, had a bright face and replied: "If I can't ask Master Luo here, of course I will go to the governor to ask. I can't go there empty-handed, right?"
Luo Kedi nodded, "That makes sense, but isn't the wine in your hand used to honor me?"
Zhang Ren grinned, "It's true that I gave it to you as a filial piety, but you don't know my problem. Besides, it's only a jar of wine. You don't lack this jar here. I'll make up for it another day."
After Zhang Ren finished speaking, before Luo Kedi could reply, he trotted out of the small courtyard.
Luo Kedi sighed, shook his head and returned to the wall to continue drinking.
When he arrived at Jiang Yu's study, Zhang Ren didn't announce it, and didn't even knock on the door. Instead, he just opened the door and entered.
Jiang Yu, who was closing his eyes to rest, did not open his eyes and directly said softly: "You are here."
Huh? Could it be that Jiang Wei knew that he was coming? But after Zhang Ren thought about it carefully, he felt that this possibility was unlikely. He guessed that Jiang Yu didn't know who was coming in. Just saying "you are here" seemed very advanced. It seemed that he could learn this trick in the future. .
Zhang Ren grinned, placed the wine jar in front of Jiang Wei, and then said, "It's been a long time since I've seen the Governor. I just happened to come over and have a look today when I have time."
Jiang Wei slowly opened his eyes and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me. You brought wine to bribe me. It won't look good if you tell me."
Zhang Ren was not polite and asked directly: "Master Governor, are there many in our Jinyi Guards who can use fast swords?"
Jiang Wei nodded, "Most of our Jin Yiwei are equipped with Xiuchun Dao, but there are also many people who practice swordsmanship. Our Jin Yiwei's martial arts are all-encompassing, and we naturally have the inheritance of swordsmanship. Your senior sister is one of the masters, and there is also the Thousand Faces Man A quick sword is also good."
Zhang Ren recalled that Izumoko's height and body shape were indeed very similar to those of the Thousand-Faced Man, and the Thousand-Faced Man was most praised for his disguise technique.
Could it be that Izumoko is the Thousand-Faced Man who came in disguise?
Now Zhang Ren was no longer calm. Although his friendship with Qianmianren was not too deep, it was still a human life. Did he have to sacrifice the life of Qianmianren just to kill Li Shanchang?
"Lord Governor, Senior Brother Thousand-Faced Man is also your subordinate after all, so you have the heart to push him out to die?"
Jiang Wei looked confused, "Man with a Thousand Faces? To die? Do you know what you are talking about?"
Zhang Ren, however, had a look of resentment on his face, "I know very well that, yes, Senior Brother Qianmianren did inadvertently catch you taking a shower, and accidentally saw your snow-white buttocks, but you can't let Qianmianren do it just because of these. Senior brother, are you going to die?"
Jiang Wei's face was ashen, and he no longer had the calmness of the past.
Just at this moment, I saw a man carrying a pile of documents into Jiang Wei's study. Because the documents were piled too high, the man's face was completely blocked.
This man came to Jiang Wei's desk, put down a pile of documents, and then revealed his face. Looking at this man's ugly face, who else could he be if he wasn't a man with a thousand faces?
The Thousand-faced Man looked at Zhang Ren and said, "Junior Brother, you are here."
"Senior Brother Thousand-faced Man? Are you alive?" Zhang Ren looked stunned.
The Thousand-Faced Man first put a question mark on his forehead, and then said, "You just died! Your whole family is dead!"
Faced with the Thousand Faces Man's scolding, Zhang Ren was not angry. Instead, he turned to Jiang Yu and asked, "Supervisor, who is Izumoko?"
Jiang Wei closed his eyes again and said, "What you should know will be let you know. What you shouldn't know, you'd better not ask more."
Zhang Ren knew that if Jiang Yu didn't want to tell him, he would definitely not be able to ask, but he was already certain in his heart that Izumoko must have come from Jinyiwei.
Zhang Ren said no more, turned around and left Jiang Yu's study.
The Thousand-Faced Man still had a question mark on his head. He looked at Zhang Ren's back, then at Jiang Yu, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
It was a good thing that he didn't speak. As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yu's eyes had already opened, and there was clearly a sense of danger in his eyes.
Jiang Wei was so fast that he directly raised his leg and kicked the Thousand-faced Man on the butt.
This kick was not very strong, but it still knocked the Thousand-Faced Man down. He didn't know why, so he asked: "Supervisor, what are you kicking for?"
Jiang Wei was so angry that he had a very good ear. Recently, he could always hear many people in Jin Yiwei whispering that his butt was as white as snow. Today he finally knew why people said this.
Jiang Wei looked at the Thousand-Faced Man fiercely. As the leader of the Jinyi Guards, he also wanted to have face. He couldn't answer the Thousand-Faced Man's question, so he simply kicked him again. The power of this kick was much greater than before. Young Master, he kicked Thousand Faces Man directly to the door.
At the same time, Jiang Wei still suppressed his anger and said: "I know I am lazy every day, so go to work quickly!"
…
Early the next morning, Zhang Ren followed Zhu Yuanzhang's order
Ling appeared at the court meeting for the second time.
All the officials were not surprised. The news of Zhu Yuanzhang's assassination yesterday had spread throughout Jinling City. It was natural for Zhang Ren, who saved His Majesty's life, to attend the court meeting.
