Zhao Nanxing also looked unhappy and said, "I'll go find him and ask!"
"Be careful, sir!"
Chen Jingbang quickly gave Zhao Nanxing a piece of advice.
Then, he said to Zhao Nanxing: "If this Si Wen is really a hypocrite who is different from what he says on the outside and is hiding a traitor in his heart, if I go to question him now, I will only offend him! In this case, I am afraid that my official career will not be guaranteed at the least, and I will be exiled from the army at worst. , or even risk your life!"
"Then we can't just sit back and watch him harm a gentleman like this!"
Zhao Nanxing rolled his sleeves and said something, and then said: "To be honest, my close friend and confidant, Chief Chun Guantu, was also arrested and brought to Beijing by decree. The Criminal Division has issued a driving sticker."
"Just in time, I asked Zhang Siwen why he agreed not to argue with the gentleman, but now as soon as he entered the Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei started to ride out and arrest the gentleman?!"
Zhao Nanxing smiled coldly, then started talking, then stood up and looked at the gloomy sky outside the window with angry eyes.
Chen Jingbang was quite surprised after hearing this, and he sighed and said: "I didn't expect! Even Mr. Tu Gong Chishui also framed Zhang Siwen for him. Zhang Siwen clearly wants to come for us, the scholar-officials who are determined to uphold the country's moral integrity! Take revenge on us!"
Zhao Nanxing didn't say anything else and just came to Zhang's house in a hurry.
Zhang Jingxiu was at home at this time, so he came out to greet Zhao Nanxing and asked, "Why did you come uninvited?"
Zhao Nanxing handed over his hand: "I was about to ask Tishuai something, but it involves human life, so I have to come."
"In that case, I already know the purpose of your visit."
Zhang Jingxiu said without any surprise.
After hearing this, Zhao Nanxing asked: "Now that Tishuai knows it, I would like to ask, is Tishuai still willing to admit what he said in the past, 'Don't care about gentlemen'?"
"Naturally admit it."
Zhang Jingxiu replied.
Zhao Nanxing said: "Then if that's the case, why does Tishuai still want to imprison the gentleman?"
Zhang Jingxiu asked: "Which people do you think are gentlemen?"
"Of course it's Mr. Yu Gu (Zou Diguang) and Mr. Chishui (Tu Long) who were captured by Tiqi under orders."
"Tishuai knows that Mr. Yugu is a close friend of Mr. Jingyang (Gu Xiancheng). Although Mr. Jingyang was dissatisfied with your father in the past, he did not really frame him. Why would Tishuai really want to implicate innocent people like this?"
After Zhao Nanxing said that, he questioned Zhang Jingxiu with a sullen face.
Zhang Jingxiu sneered: "Are they gentlemen?"
"certainly!"
At this moment, Zhang Jingxiu took out Tu Long's autographed letter and a copy of Zou Diguang's card ticket from the study, and said to Zhao Nanxing:
"It just so happens that I have taken copies of the criminal evidence of a group of traitorous officials and traitors this time and am going to expose them in the newspapers. You can take a look at them first and then decide whether they are gentlemen or not."
Zhao Nanxing took over the evidence.
"Tu Long's autograph letter asked Gong Yiqing to worry about the content of the Qing army's conspiracy! He also asked him to frame Duke Ji, saying that he would help him in Beijing and everything would be fine."
"Zou Diguang went even further! He actually personally issued a ticket to force the Qing army in local prefectures and counties to join the army, and even killed a soldier who opposed the Qing army's move!"
As Zhang Jingxiu spoke, he asked Zhao Nanxing: "If there is solid evidence, don't you deny it?"
Zhao Nanxing didn't speak at first.
The hall was very quiet for a while, and Zhao Nanxing did not speak.
But Zhang Jingxiu just drank tea very calmly.
"This is indeed Mr. Chishui's writing."
After a while, Zhao Nanxing said this with some frustration, and then his hands started to tremble a little, and he said again: "How could this happen?"
"Did you just say that they are gentlemen?"
Zhang Jingxiu asked again.
Zhao Nanxing closed his eyes helplessly and sighed, "I really didn't expect that he also deceived me!"
"I have said that I will not argue with gentlemen, but I will only deal with the evil villains twice as hard!"
"Because these evil villains don't know how to be grateful, my late father has treated them as leniently as possible, but as a result, they will only get more serious and try to destroy my Zhang family!"
"Therefore, I will not spare any evil villain lightly, especially those who pretend to be gentlemen!"
Zhang Jingxiu stood up at this time and said with a serious face.
Zhao Nanxing said: "But is this really good?"
"What are you talking about, sir?!"
Suddenly, Zhang Jingxiu changed his color and asked.
"Or is it that you have forgotten the word "upright", or that I misjudged you?!"
"The Lord actually thinks that villains should be tolerated, especially hypocritical villains! If this is the case, how can a true gentleman gain a foothold in the court?!"
"I have always believed that although I was dissatisfied with my late father, it was only out of public interest. He had the righteousness to seek perfection and justice. He was a loyal and upright person who was not afraid of the powerful."
"It turns out I was wrong!"
"It turns out that once you encounter one of your friends who is disobedient and disobedient, you will no longer have principles, and you will no longer have a king and father."
As Zhang Jingxiu spoke, he turned his back to Zhao Nanxing: "If you feel that Ming Cha Qiu is wrong, you will leave. I am ashamed to associate with a hypocrite like you!"
"Siwen!"
Zhao Nanxing shouted hurriedly, and then tried his best to explain:
"That's not what I meant. Being aware of everything, performing one's duties faithfully, and weeding out traitors is what a gentleman does. But what people didn't expect is that in the end, even a few gentlemen who have always been known for their noble conduct actually harbored the intention of harming the people and deceiving the emperor. "
As Zhao Nanxing spoke, he gritted his teeth resolutely, walked up to Zhang Jingxiu, and said, "You are right! We cannot tolerate treacherous villains. Once they are found out, they must be dealt with severely. Only in this way can we truly achieve justice among the people!"
Zhao Nanxing immediately handed over to Zhang Jingxiu: "In terms of loyalty to the country and integrity, I am not as good as Tishuai!"
Zhang Jingxiu returned the salute, smiled and said, "I wish you could understand me."
Zhao Nanxing then returned to his house after chatting with Zhang Jingxiu for a while.
As soon as he returned home, a servant came to report that Da Sima wanted to invite him.
Zhao Nanxing came to Chen Jingbang.
Chen Jingbang asked: "How can I say that he, Zhang Siwen, was questioned by the public, or became angry from shame?"
"He's not angry."
Zhao Nanxing replied with a frustrated look.
After hearing this, Chen Jingbang sneered: "This man is quite calm. Now it seems that I am afraid that I have offended him, but he did not directly attack him. The more such a person is, the more terrifying he is."
Snapped!
Zhao Nanxing suddenly slapped the table and stood up, glaring at Chen Jingbang: "Why do you think so of Si Wen?!"
Chen Jingbang couldn't help but be startled.
"Si Wen's command of the royal guards is indeed a comfort and joy to the gentlemen of the world!"
"Because I have seen with my own eyes that after Siwen entered the Jinyi Guard, the people in the Jinyi Guard really paid attention to evidence, and Tu and Zou did deceive the emperor and harm the people too much. There is clear evidence!"
"This shows that with a gentleman like Siwen around, no gentleman will be wronged, and true gentlemen will be protected, but more hypocritical gentlemen will be uncovered."
"The Jin Yiwei will be like Lu Donghu (Lu Bing) when he was in charge of the Jin Yiwei in the World Temple. Although he is ruthless, he will give more protection to the true gentleman!"
Zhao Nanxing took a long breath as he spoke, and then looked out the window with a smile on his face.
Chen Jingbang looked at Zhao Nanxing in astonishment: "What are you talking about, sir? Mr. Chishui is a common friend of you and me, how could you."
"Needless to say, I have decided to cut ties with Tu Chishui!"
“Although a gentleman loves money and gets it wisely, it’s not the way to get it!”
