Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Zhang Xiaofei is a minor official in the Ministry of Industry, but he is a close confidant of Yu Jiang, the right servant. He helps Yu Jiang do many dirty things, including killing people and covering up corpses.

Perhaps Zhang Xiaofei knew that he knew too many secrets about Yu Jiang, and was worried that one day he would disappear from the world. Every dirty thing he did for Yu Jiang was recorded clearly and in detail, hidden in the vegetable patch in the backyard.

The young foreman Jiang Xiaoshan came to the Ministry of Works to cause trouble, making Yu Jiang's head as big as a bucket. He first stabilized Jiang Xiaoshan, and then ordered Zhang Xiaofei to get Jiang Xiaoshan drunk, causing an accident of falling into the water and drowning.

Zhang Xiaofei obeyed Jiang's orders and never asked why. Yu Jiang felt at ease with him and believed that he would be able to get things done this time.

However, he didn't know that Zhang Xiaofei and Jiang Xiaoshan knew each other, and that Jiang Xiaoshan had once saved the life of Zhang Xiaofei's twin brother Zhang Dafei. No matter how bad Zhang Xiaofei was, he would not kill his elder brother's life-saving benefactor.

He helped Jiang Xiaoshan, who was drunk and unconscious, to the woods by the river. After waking him up, he explained the situation and scared Jiang Xiaoshan to death. He didn't know what to do?

Zhang Xiaofei had already thought out all the details when he decided to let Jiang Xiaoshan go. He asked Jiang Xiaoshan to hide first, and then wait until Yu Jiang was no longer suspicious, then hide his name, go away to a foreign country, dig up other people's graves in the middle of the night, and get a corpse. Put on the clothes Jiang Xiaoshan is wearing now and throw it into the river. The body will swell and rot after being soaked in water. Yu Jiang will not recognize it at all, and he will not come to check it in person.

Yu Jiang did not expect that Zhang Xiaofei would disobey his order one day. After Zhang Xiaofei came back, he praised Zhang Xiaofei a few times, rewarded Zhang Xiaofei fifty taels of silver, and gave him three days of vacation.

However, after Zhang Xiaofei left, Yu Jiang felt inexplicably uneasy. He felt that Zhang Xiaofei knew too many of his secrets and was a big hidden danger. For the sake of safety, he decided to bear the pain and get rid of Zhang Xiaofei.

Only the dead can truly keep secrets, and the dead Zhang Xiaofei reassured him.

He sent two of his cronies to kill Zhang Xiaofei. Coincidentally, Zhang Xiaofei was away on business and his twin brother Zhang Dafei was at home. The two killers did not know that the brothers were twins and mistook Zhang Dafei for Zhang Xiaofei. After they knocked Zhang Dafei unconscious, Put it into a cloth bag, put it on an ox cart, and take it to the woods outside the city for burial.

Zhang Xiaofei happened to come back and saw two strong men sneaking out of his home carrying a long bag that seemed to contain something heavy. They put the long bag on the back of the cow and drove away in an oxcart. .

Zhang Xiaofei felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart and followed quietly. He saw two strong men parking the car outside a forest. They worked together to carry a heavy cloth bag and went into the woods. They dug a big hole with a hoe and put the heavy objects into the woods. The long cloth bags with heavy objects were thrown into the pit, filled with soil, and then drove away in an ox cart.

The two strong men were grumbling while digging the hole. Zhang Xiaofei was worried about being discovered, so he just hid in the distance and peeked. He faintly heard the two strong men scolding Yu Jiang for letting them do this in the cold weather. kind of thing.

In other words, these two strong men were Yu Jiang's men, and they were ordered by Yu Jiang to bury something here.

After the two strong men walked away, Zhang Xiaofei broke off a branch and dug up the filled soil again. It took him nearly half an hour to dig out most of the soil, and he saw the long cloth bag containing heavy objects. , then he stopped, cut open the bag with the knife he carried with him, and saw clearly what was inside the bag, he almost fainted.

Inside the bag was his brother Zhang Dafei. Zhang Xiaofei desperately dug through the soil, opened the bag, and dragged his brother out, but his brother had already died and his body began to stiffen.

Zhang Xiaoshan endured his grief, buried his brother's cold body on the other side of the woods, marked it, and then sat in the woods to calm down and think slowly.

He knew without guessing that Yu Jiang wanted to kill him to silence him, but accidentally killed his twin brother. Those two strong men were the murderers who acted on orders.

He wanted to avenge his brother, but he knew that he was too weak and could do nothing, so he could only wait patiently for the opportunity.

Perhaps God was secretly helping. Zhang Xiaofei discovered that someone was secretly probing for information about Yu Jiang and collecting all kinds of dirty information about him. For security reasons, he did not show up, but quietly followed the people who were probing the information. When he saw him After secretly entering and exiting Jinyiwei's official office and confirming that he was from Jinyiwei, he felt relieved.
