Zhang Jing and Liu Shou had indeed arrived at Zhang Juzheng's private residence with a group of guards.
But when Zhang Juzheng learned that Zhang Jing was coming, his face suddenly sank: "Beat You Qi to death immediately!"
You Qi was even more shocked after hearing this: "Master!"
"Father, spare his life! After all, he has been with you for so many years!"
Zhang Maoxiu rolled his eyes at this time and immediately came over, kneeling in front of Zhang Juzheng, begging for You Qi's mercy.
Zhang Jingxiu also reacted, knelt down and cried: "Father, considering that he has done a lot for our family, just drive him out of the house."
"Do you want him to go out and put all the things he has done into being a father?!"
Zhang Juzheng loudly questioned his two sons, and then suddenly shed tears and choked with sobs: "Beat them to death immediately!"
The slaves in the Zhang Mansion all looked over at this time and saw Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Jingxiu, and Zhang Maoxiu weeping and giving orders.
The slave of the Zhang family who was responsible for beating You Qi with the stick also did not dare to really stop beating You Qi just because the two young masters begged for mercy after hearing what Zhang Juzheng said, so he continued to wave the stick and beat You Qi to death. seven.
"ah!"
You Qi screamed.
Of course, You Qi knew that he could no longer be forgiven by Zhang Juzheng, after all, he had confirmed his identity as a traitor.
Therefore, when You Qi heard the words "the factory official has arrived" and saw that Zhang Juzheng was determined to kill him, he thought that Zhang Juzheng was still afraid that Zhang Jing would know his secret, so he immediately wanted to betray Zhang Juzheng, thinking that he would make a comeback. He endured the severe pain until Zhang Jing and Liu Shouyou appeared, gritted his teeth and shouted:
"Zhang Juzheng, don't think that if you kill me today, the emperor will not know what you have done!"
"If you dare to beat me to death today, tomorrow someone will bring the things you have done to the imperial court!"
Saying that, You Qi turned back to look at Zhang Jing and Liu Shouyou who held the imperial edict: "Factory Lord and all Tishuai of Jinyiwei, please save me! I want to expose Zhang Juzheng. I know what he has done to deceive the emperor." Ignorant of the crime!"
"I guarantee that each and every one of them will be a big case that will allow you to make great achievements! Please tell them to stop quickly and don't let Zhang Juzheng silence me!"
At this time, the person playing You Qi also stopped playing You Qi because of the appearance of Jin Yiwei, and looked at Zhang Juzheng, waiting for Zhang Juzheng's further instructions.
Zhang Juzheng looked at Zhang Jing.
"Manufacturer, do you want to go there?"
Liu Shouyou also looked at Zhang Jing and asked.
Zhang Jing frowned. He thought he had deliberately delayed it, but he didn't expect to arrive early, so he had to stretch out his hand:
"You must understand what the emperor's true thoughts are!"
"Besides, how can a domestic slave sue his master!"
"Exit Zhang Residence and come back in half a quarter of an hour!"
"In addition, if the message continues, everyone must keep what they just heard in their stomachs!"
"Whoever dares to say a word will be found out and beaten to death!"
"yes!"
Liu Shouyou responded and made arrangements.
As a result, a large number of Jin Yiwei began to retreat silently.
You Qi looked at this scene in shock.
For the first time, he saw the imperial eunuchs and imperial guards retreating after arriving, so he felt extremely disappointed and shouted: "What are you doing! Why are you retreating?!"
"Eunuch Zhang!"
"Zhang Juzheng hid it from the emperor and took bribes from his generals. Among them, Qi Jiguang gave him two Hu Ji worth a thousand gold!"
"Eunuch Zhang, don't leave!"
"Eunuch Zhang, why don't you arrest me and take me to prison? I can tell you everything!"
"Aren't you here to arrest people?!"
"Are you still a royal guard?!"
"Why should you be afraid of Zhang Juzheng!"
"Eunuch Zhang, are you still the emperor's domestic slave?! Ah!"
You Qi almost cried.
Because no matter how he shouted, this whale and these royal guards were as deaf as they didn't respond at all, and they receded like the tide.
"Why are you still standing there, keep fighting!"
Zhang Juzheng also gave an instruction with tears at this time.
"Father!"
Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu still knelt in front of Zhang Juzheng and shouted.
Zhang Juzheng said sternly: "Don't intercede for this traitorous slave!"
The Zhang family slave who was responsible for beating You Qi with the cane also choked with sobs and said yes.
He choked up mainly because he felt that the two young masters were really kind-hearted, and that the family's insistence on being upright was really helpless, because You Qi had indeed gone too far and was still rebelling against the master. Otherwise, the family master would not have gritted his teeth and insisted on continuing on his own. Beat You Qi to death.
As a result, the boards on You Qi's body continued to fall like raindrops, becoming more and more dense.
After a while, You Qi felt as if a pot of blood porridge had been poured on him.
And You Qi himself said feebly to Zhang Juzheng: "Master, it was Xiao's mistake! You are right, you can indeed take advantage of Xiao's unimaginable potential, and Xiao's calculations cannot go against the rules of this world. Something that cannot be tolerated!”
"It's just a pity that it's too late!"
You Qi, whose mouth was full of blood, dropped his head after saying this.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Jing came in: "There is a decree that You Qi colluded with corrupt officials, demanded large amounts of bribes, and took advantage of his father's power. He will be taken to prison for questioning immediately."
"This is You Qi."
Zhang Juzheng pointed at You Qi in front of him.
Zhang Jing glanced at Zhang Juzheng after hearing this, and then asked Zhang Juzheng: "Mr. Zhang, who is he?"
Zhang Juzheng said: "If he commits a crime, he should be punished with a cane."
"It is said that Yuan Fu was very strict in managing his family, and he certainly lived up to his reputation."
After Zhang Jing said with a smile, he asked Liu Shouyou to test You Qi's breathing.
After Liu Shou tried it, he replied: "No more breathing!"
"It seems that the old illness relapsed and he died suddenly when he was beaten with the stick. Take him back and let us confirm!"
Zhang Jing gave orders.
Liu Shouyou raised his hand and said yes.
That night, Zhang Jing stated in his memorial to the court that You Qi had died suddenly when he was caught, so many things could no longer be investigated.
Eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty could be dismissed in the name of ministers.
Therefore, Zhang Jing would sometimes report matters to Zhu Yijun through superiors.
This approach is equivalent to letting the cabinet see it.
After Zhang Siwei, the cabinet minister, saw Zhang Jing's memorial, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wang Guoguang: "Look, can you rest assured this time?"
Wang Guoguang asked Zhang Siwei: "Ziwei must be the same?"
Zhang Siwei: "..."
The sudden death of You Qi really reassured Zhang Juzheng and his party.
After all, You Qi is not only involved in Zhejiang and the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, but also knows many other secrets about Zhang Dang.
And now You Qi's sudden death means that Zhang Juzheng is really just cleaning up the house, rather than completely removing all the legs from his chair.
In other words, Zhang Juzheng did not really intend to involve everyone, especially the backbone of Zhang's party at the level of ministers in Beijing and local governors.
Therefore, many people in the entire Zhang Party who are really doing things are relieved, knowing that as long as they don't mess around, nothing will happen to them.
But such a large-scale purge by Zhang Juzheng naturally angered the villains among the reformists.
They knew that once people like Li Cai and Qin Yao entered Jinyiwei's prison, they might not be able to keep the secret.
As the saying goes, the picture is poor and the dagger is visible.
This day coincided with Zhu Yijun's feast at the Wenhua Hall.
But just as the Sutra banquet began, Hanlin editor Zuo Zanshan and Japanese lecturer Liu Yao suddenly came out with dark circles under his eyes:
"Your Majesty! I am impeaching Zhang Juzheng for having befriended the eunuch Feng Bao, spying on the Queen Mother of the two palaces and His Majesty's residence, and conspiring to frame the minister!"
"I have the private message from Qi Jiguang's reply to Zhang Juzheng provided by Qi Jiguang's commander Xu Chengzhong as evidence!"
After Liu Yao said that, he took out a letter.
