Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao smiled.

The middle-aged man knelt on the ground, and when he heard Zhu Youxiao laughing like this, the expression on his face did not change, but there was already infinite fear in his heart.

Although I don't know who did this, the middle-aged man probably won't give up when he knows about it. Now that he is being targeted by His Majesty, the fate of those people can be imagined.

"When you go back, you have to check it out, and you must find out what is going on and who did it." Zhu Youxiao looked at the middle-aged man and said slowly: "If you encounter any obstacles, go to Wei Zhongxian and transfer the people from the East Factory." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The middle-aged man hurriedly agreed and said, "Can you start from Lord Xu?" ”

The easiest way to do this is to ask Xu Xianchun, as long as Xu Xianchun tells that person, then this matter can be investigated very clearly, and there is no need to go around the bend, and there is no need to make any effort at all.

Zhu Youxiao thought about it, nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. ”

It's really a bit louder to start from the capital, not to mention that I'm not in the capital now, so if I make any trouble, it will be troublesome. After all, the things on my side of Shandong have not been done yet, and it is not suitable for me to make any moves in the capital.

So I'm still checking here, as long as I ask Xu Xianchun, I basically understand everything.

So Zhu Youxiao said: "You go to Jinyiwei, go to Cui Yingyuan, you can find out this matter together, and then come back to report to me." Remember, don't let the news slip away. Do you understand? ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister understands." The middle-aged man hurriedly agreed.

"Go ahead." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said.

After the middle-aged man left, Zhu Youxiao stood up and moved his muscles, glanced at Chen Hong who walked in, and said with a smile: "The things in this world are really a hundred turns, and people's hearts are really the most unpredictable. ”

"The emperor is the true dragon emperor, and all the ghosts and ghosts have nothing to hide in front of the emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly said.

"I just sighed, and I don't need to say anything about sycophancy." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "Although the matter has been explained, but what is the specific situation, you keep an eye on it, don't let them do anything." ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong bowed and agreed.

Jinyi Guard station.

Cui Yingyuan sighed helplessly.

It's really hard to say what is going on in this world, and I never thought I could get to this point and sit in this position before.

When he got the news, Cui Yingyuan was not only apprehensive, but also surprised. But after sitting in this position, Cui Yingyuan knew that things were not easy.

The first is Xu Xianchun's matter. If I don't find out about this matter, I'm afraid my position will not be stable. But now Xu Xianchun doesn't say anything, and there is nothing he can do about it.

At this time, a brocade-clothed guard Qianhu walked in outside.

He came to Cui Yingyuan's side and said, "My lord, someone is here." I don't know the identity, but I am holding the brand of Gonggong Chen in the palace. ”

Hearing this, Cui Yingyuan hurriedly stood up.

His time in Jinyiwei is not short, and he naturally knows very well about this Chen Gonggong in the palace.

It can be said that this Chen Gonggong is the big backer of Jinyiwei. Without the support of this person, he would not have been able to sit in his current position.

Hearing that Chen Hong had sent someone over, Cui Yingyuan naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Go out with me." ”

After saying this, Cui Yingyuan walked outside.

When he came to the door, Cui Yingyuan saw the middle-aged man standing at the door.

Without waiting for Cui Yingyuan to speak, the middle-aged man took out a sign and shook it in front of him, and said, "Go in and say." ”

After saying this, the middle-aged man walked forward first.

Regarding the attitude of the middle-aged man, Cui Yingyuan was not unhappy, but a little more apprehensive in his heart.

It's not a trivial thing to be so mysterious.

He hurriedly followed the steps of the middle-aged man and walked in.

The two soon came to the second hall in the back.

Cui Yingyuan directly instructed his subordinate Qianhu: "Stand outside and don't let people disturb you." ”

"Yes, sir." Qianhu agreed, turned around and went out to stand guard.

After the person left, Cui Yingyuan arched his hand at the middle-aged man and said, "I don't know what to call it?" ”

"Zhao Chunqiu." The middle-aged man said expressionlessly.

Cui Yingyuan nodded.

Although the other party only said one name, he did not say anything else, and did not even report his official position. Cui Yingyuan didn't care about this.

Cui Yingyuan asked, "I don't know what happened to Lord Zhao here?" ”

"Interrogation of Xu Xianchun." Zhao Chunqiu said directly.

After hearing this, Cui Yingyuan was stunned.

He was still having a headache about this matter just now, but he didn't expect to have a result of dealing with it so soon. However, this result did not make him happy, and the other party said that it was arraignment.

Obviously, in such a situation, these two words represent the real arraignment.

"What, there's a problem?" Zhao Chunqiu looked at Cui Yingyuan and asked with a frown.

"Absolutely." Cui Yingyuan hurriedly shook his head and said.

At this time, he didn't dare to have anything to do with this matter. If you let the person in front of you feel that he is protecting Xu Xianchun, then he will be finished.

"Let's go, then." Zhao Chunqiu said directly.

Cui Yingyuan didn't dare to ask more, so he walked out with Zhao Chunqiu, and soon took Xu Xianchun into the prison.

After entering the prison, Xu Xianchun's face was full of bitterness.

Zhao Chunqiu didn't talk nonsense, looked at Xu Xianchun, and said directly: "Lord Xu, you should know the purpose of my visit." ”

"Your Majesty has forgiven your sins, but there are still some things to be clarified. As long as you explain things clearly, this time the matter is over. ”

"If you don't say it, I'm afraid this time it won't be over. Not only you, but also your family. Don't leave anything to chance, you should know how serious this is. ”

After hearing this, Xu Xianchun was very helpless, sighed softly, glanced up at Zhao Chunqiu, and asked slowly, "What is this adult's name?" Which yamen's? ”

"Zhao Chunqiu." Zhao Chunqiu said: "As for which yamen it is, Lord Xu doesn't need to ask. ”

Walking to Xu Xianchun's side with an expressionless face, Zhao Chunqiu continued: "There is no need to tempt, you can tell the truth as soon as possible." I don't want to be rough and I don't want to do anything that isn't good. Since Lord Xu is a Jinyi guard, he should also understand the means. ”

Xu Xianchun nodded and said, "I understand." ”

"Actually, things are not so difficult, there is a family surnamed Zhou in Jining City, my money was sent by them, and everything they asked me to do. If you want to arrest it, you can arrest this family surnamed Zhou. ”

Zhao Chunqiu glanced at Xu Xianchun and asked, "They said you listened?" As far as I know, I'm afraid Lord Xu is not so easy to speak. ”

"Even if they give some money, I'm afraid Lord Xu won't be so easy to collect. With what Lord Xu does on weekdays, he won't fail to understand what it means to do this. ”

"What's more, Lord Xu is not a person who is stupid, how could he do such an unwise thing? Master Xu, you should understand what I am going to do, and you should also understand what I am asking. Still going around in circles here, I'm afraid there are some things that don't fit, right? ”

"This adult, it's not that I don't say it, it's that I don't know." Xu Xianchun sighed helplessly and said: "As for why I succumbed, the reason is very simple, I am here to keep my son." Since this lord came to judge me, he should also understand that I have only one son. ”

"They kidnapped your son?" Zhao Chunqiu looked at Xu Xianchun, and said with mockery in his tone: "Lord Xu doesn't seem to be such an easily submissive person, right?" If they kidnap your son, won't you tie up their whole family? ”

"My lord, of course they didn't kidnap my son, but they framed my son." Xu Xianchun said helplessly: "My son was involved in this case. ”

"Where do you start?" Zhao Chunqiu frowned and asked, "As far as I know, your son is in the capital now, right?" This case is in Shandong. ”

"Because some of the relief food was greedy when I came out of the capital." Xu Xianchun sighed before he said: "Not only the current grain, but also part of the silver allocated by the imperial court to buy grain has also been embezzled. ”

"There are many people involved in this matter in the capital, including my son. They distributed the money to many people in the capital, and put them in charge of buying grain. Regardless of the quality of the grain they buy, they all receive it as ordered. To put it bluntly, it is to give away the silver. Many people are greedy for cheapness, so they naturally get involved. ”

"Although my family is a royal family, they have not had a very good time over the years. Since I became the commander of the Jinyi Guard, I have also been considered to be a keeper of proportion, and the amount of money in the family is not very rich. ”

"My son is targeted by them, and my son occupies a large part of the capital. The people of the Zhou family told me clearly that they had evidence in their hands, and there were people in the capital who were with them. As soon as I caught them, they shook it out. ”

"At that time, Your Majesty will definitely punish my son severely. If Your Majesty does not punish my sons severely, he will certainly not punish them severely. Even if I go to ask Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not let them go because of my son. Once I knew that my son was involved, there must have been a lot of people who fell into the trap. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Xianchun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There is no way to teach my son, I have nothing to say." I have failed to live up to His Majesty's trust in me, and Xu Xianchun will die in a difficult way. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Chunqiu nodded and said, "There's nothing to hide at this time, right?" ”

Xu Xianchun nodded and said, "Naturally, there is no concealment." ”

"Okay." Zhao Chunqiu didn't say anything more, only said this one word, then turned around and walked outside.
