Wei Zhongxian looked disgusted, stretched out his hand and stirred it on the end of his nose a few times, as if he was a little dissatisfied with the smoke.

The people around hurriedly walked up to Wei Zhongxian's side, trying to block the dust.

The little eunuch who was waiting beside him handed a clean white silk handkerchief to Wei Zhongxian.

Reaching out and taking the silk handkerchief, covering his mouth and nose, Wei Zhongxian waved his hand directly, and said in a deep voice: "Go in and get someone." ”

Sun Yunhe rushed in first, followed by the fan of Dongchang.

Wei Zhongxian also walked inside expressionlessly.

I've come here myself, so naturally I want to go in and have a look.

The courtyard was quiet, there was no one for a long time, and it seemed that the subordinates had been dismissed.

Coming straight to the lobby, Wei Zhongxian saw Zou Yuanbiao at a glance.

At this time, Zou Yuanbiao was wearing a Confucian shirt and sat there expressionlessly. A pot of tea was placed beside him, and he took a sip from time to time.

Seeing this scene, Wei Zhongxian's face changed.

This guy won't kill himself by taking poison, right?

Zou Yuanbiao looked up at Wei Zhongxian's changing face, a playful smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Father-in-law Wei is afraid that I will die?" Grandpa Wei can rest assured, I won't die so easily. ”

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian's face suddenly darkened.

How could he not know that he had been tricked by Zou Yuanbiao?

"At this time, it's still a good word, we don't know if Lord Zou is confident or really stupid." Wei Zhongxian said directly: "Lord Zou, since you are ready, then let's go, don't waste time here." ”

Zou Yuanbiao was unmoved, looked at Dongchang Fanzi who was turning around in private with an expressionless face, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Wei still don't let people flip around." You can't find anything, so you might as well think about how to make up the charges, which are relatively useful. ”

This is a mockery of oneself. Wei Zhongxian could naturally hear it.

"Lord Zou, I have to say that you are still so annoying." Wei Zhongxian waved his hand and said to Sun Yunhe behind him, "Take it." ”

Zou Yuanbiao didn't resist at all, and let the people in Dongchang pick him up.

He just looked at Wei Zhongxian and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I didn't let Gonggong Wei see what he wanted to see, right?" I know that Grandpa Wei wants to see me make a fool of myself, or wants me to surrender to you. Since Grandpa Wei wants it so much, how can I let Grandpa Wei get his wish? ”

After saying this, Zou Yuanbiao looked up to the sky and laughed, as if he was very happy to play Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian watched Zou Yuanbiao being pressed down, and the expression on his face was a little hideous.

Then he slowly reined in, snorted coldly and said, "I don't know if you will be so hard-mouthed when you go to the prison of Dongchang?" With that, he flicked his sleeves and walked outside.

All four were arrested.

The news shook the entire capital, and naturally it quickly spread to the Purple City.

Zhu Youxiao stood at the door of the main hall, looking into the distance expressionlessly.

"Emperor, Lord Yu Maoheng is here." Chen Hong came behind Zhu Youxiao and said respectfully.

On the way back, Chen Hong already knew that Wei Zhongxian had done it!

In fact, he had long known that Wei Zhongxian was going to make a move, but now that Wei Zhongxian had really done it, Chen Hong was still in a trance.

Retracting his gaze, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong, nodded lightly, and said, "Let him come in." Then he turned and walked into the palace.

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong agreed. Turned around and went to find Yu Maoheng.

After a while, Yu Maoheng walked in with Chen Hong.

Yu Maoheng was very apprehensive at this time, but he also knew that after being an official for so many years, he would be safe.

No matter what His Majesty is looking for himself, he can't shirk it, so he just waits quietly.

"Minister Yu Maoheng, see Your Majesty." Yu Maoheng bowed.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand lightly and said with a smile, "Okay, let's be polite!" ”

When Yu Maoheng stood up straight, Zhu Youxiao said: "Calling Aiqing here today, it's actually nothing. I just want to ask Aiqing about the Metropolitan Procuratorate. ”

Listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Yu Maoheng's face sank.

Is it really still the case?

He couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart, it seemed that he couldn't escape.

No matter what Your Majesty says today or how you express your attitude, as long as Your Majesty appoints you after you get out of here, then your reputation will not be able to escape.

It's just that above the officialdom, this kind of thing is too normal.

Above the Ming officialdom, there are so many official hats, large and small, from the first to the seventh, which official hat is not you fighting for?

How many people are staring from top to bottom?

Not to mention this kind of thing, it is common to be framed.

It's not the first time Yu Maoheng has experienced this kind of thing, and he didn't care much about it before, but this time it's different.

Because this time it is the Donglin Party that is involved, if they think that they have played a bad role in this matter, then it is estimated that they will usher in their revenge.

If you are alone, I am afraid that there will be no good end.

"I don't know what His Majesty wants to ask?" Although Yu Maoheng was worried in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face.

You must know that he is facing His Majesty the Emperor. If you show dissatisfaction, who are you dissatisfied with?

"I want to know Aiqing's opinion on Xiong Tingbi's case." After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he looked at Yu Maoheng.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao didn't plan to ask this question, because he didn't plan to involve Yu Maoheng in these things.

Zhu Youxiao's positioning of Yu Maoheng is very simple, he is the tax official he will use in the future.

These things in the court are disturbing and messy. I didn't plan to involve him.

It's just that sometimes he doesn't let him participate, and he has to participate.

This time it's so big. Zhu Youxiao didn't know Yu Maoheng's position, and he was really uneasy in his heart, so he asked such a question.

No matter what his thoughts were, it didn't matter to Zhu Youxiao.

If he is willing to be on his side, it is naturally the best; If he is not willing to stand on his side, then he will be transferred and protected first.

Wait until the limelight is over, and then use him. lest he jump out at this time and make himself unable to take him.

Of course, he has to be in line with his own heart.

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's question, Yu Maoheng felt bitter in his mouth.

Sure enough, it's this, it seems that His Majesty wants to know his attitude.

On the way, I imagined countless possibilities, and I also thought about how to answer His Majesty's similar questions. Now that His Majesty really asked, Yu Maoheng also knew how to answer, because he was ready.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know about this matter." Yu Maoheng opened his mouth and said: "The minister was not involved in the whole thing from beginning to end. Whether it was the impeachment of Xiong Tingbi, or the acceptance of bribes, or the interrogation of the case, the minister did not participate. The minister did not know the details of the case. So the minister has no attitude. ”
