Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong, nodded slowly, and said with a smile: "You, a slave and maid, have such thoughts, but those people outside are not necessarily. They are thick-skinned, and if they weren't thick-skinned, they would have died a long time ago. ”

"The slaves thought they were still thin-skinned." Chen Hong bowed down and said, "I want to come the same as what the slave thinks." ”

"Let's not talk about that, let's get some dinner, I'm really a little hungry." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said in a casual tone, looking like he was not interested in this matter.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The slave and maid arranged it immediately. Chen Hong hurriedly agreed.

Zhu Youxiao just nodded lightly, didn't say anything more, and turned around and walked outside. He was really hungry and was now waiting to eat.

After Chen Hong arranged everything, he quietly left the station.

Soon, he came to the Jinyiwei's station.

As soon as he learned that Chen Hong was coming, Xu Xianchun hurriedly greeted him.

Originally, Xu Xianchun didn't dare to slack off on Chen Hong at all, but now he doesn't dare to slack off. The situation in front of him is not very clear, the situation is complicated, and Xu Xianchun urgently needs news from the palace.

If there is any emergency, or if things change, Xu Xianchun can't get the news as soon as possible, and the end will not be too good.

After meeting Chen Hong. Xu Xianchun hurriedly bowed down and said, "Gonggong Chen." ”

Chen Hong nodded and said, "Okay, let's go in and talk." ”

After saying this, Chen Hong didn't stay here too long, and walked directly inside.

The two soon made their way to the back hall.

The brocade guard standing guard at the door had closed the door, and no one dared to come and eavesdrop.

After they sat down, Xu Xianchun smiled and took out a roll of things, gently pushed it in front of Chen Hong and said, "Gonggong Chen, some caution is not respectful." Please accept it. ”

Glancing at Xu Xianchun, Chen Hong quietly picked up the thing.

Two title deeds, a house deed, and an additional flying money.

Raising his head and glancing at Xu Xianchun, Chen Hong said with a calm face: "Don't tell our family that you are greedy for this thing, or who you have received money from or let anyone go?" ”

This money is very hot, if Xu Xianchun doesn't make it clear. Chen Hong really didn't dare to take it.

With the current state of the emperor, if this matter is stabbed to the emperor, even he will not end well, and the emperor will not be able to let himself go.

Looking at the current situation in Shandong, who can run?

Chen Hong was also very resentful in his heart, why couldn't this person control his hands?

Money can be taken, but what money can be taken and what money cannot be taken will have a future and will be beneficial only if they have a clear division; Those who can't tell the difference can only land on the ground.

Take the money at this time?

That's not what death does.

After listening to Chen Hong's words, Xu Xianchun hurriedly said: "Father-in-law Chen, don't worry, there is absolutely no problem with the source of this money." ”

Originally, Xu Xianchun thought that it was just such a sentence, and Chen Hong would not chase after him anymore. But what he didn't expect was that after hearing this, Chen Hong's face sank instantly.

Chen Hong stared at Xu Xianchun and asked, "How did this money come from?" Embezzlement when confiscating items? Or did you blackmail corrupt officials? ”

While speaking, Chen Hong pushed the things back, stared at Xu Xianchun and said, "If you don't explain things clearly and don't tell our family the origin of this money, our family will never accept this money." If something happens, don't look for me, our family won't take care of it. ”

Seeing Chen Hong's words so serious, Xu Xianchun's heart sank.

Before this, Xu Xianchun also sent something to Chen Hong, and Chen Hong received it very happily at that time, and there had never been such a situation today.

More money and more valuable things than these, Chen Hong never hesitated. It doesn't make sense to accept it before, but now it doesn't make sense. Apparently there is something unusual this time.

Xu Xianchun hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Gonggong Chen, is something wrong?" ”

Chen Hong looked at Xu Xianchun and said with a smile: "If nothing happens, what can happen?" It's nothing more than you lose your head. ”

"It's just that I originally thought you were smarter than Luo Sigong, but I didn't expect you to be just smart. Let's ask you one last time, where did the money come from? If you can't tell, let's go now. ”

After hearing this, Xu Xianchun hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, father-in-law, why is this so?" ”

"Why is that?" Chen Hong smiled mockingly, and said coldly: "Now people are being arrested everywhere outside, and people are dying every day, why do you think this is a trivial matter?" ”

"Are there fewer people in Shandong who die because of greed for money? The Kong family has fallen, who do you think you are? How many officials have been arrested from top to bottom? You dare to come to this set now, do you really think Your Majesty doesn't know? ”

Xu Xianchun said helplessly: "Father-in-law, this money was sent by those grain merchants, it is nothing more than to let me check less when I check it, leave some for them, and it is best to let them go." ”

After Chen Hong heard this, he slammed the table and said loudly: "You dare to take this money?" ”

"Now Shandong is full of disaster victims, and His Majesty is raising food everywhere to help the victims. It's good that you dare to pay attention to the grain. So many officials in Shandong have been planted on grain, and the Confucian family has been planted on grain, how can you make such a mistake? ”

"Father-in-law, father-in-law, don't be so angry, there will be no shortage of food." Xu Xianchun hurriedly said: "Even if you give me how much courage you have, I don't dare to discount the grain." ”

"These people just want not to convict them of hoarding. As for the food in their hands, they were all willing to give it. ”

Chen Hong turned his head to look at Xu Xianchun and asked, "In what name?" ”

"Donate." Xu Xianchun said after thinking about it, but he still looked at Chen Hong a little cautiously, and said softly: "In this way, there is no shortage of food, and we can explain it to Your Majesty, and this matter will be done." ”

After hearing this, Chen Hong smiled, and the smile on his face was bright.

Standing up, Chen Hong gently patted Xu Xianchun's shoulder and said, "It's good, it's good." It's okay for our family to come here, I'll leave if there's nothing to do. Hello do it yourself. ”

After saying this, Chen Hong had no intention of staying any longer, turned around and walked outside.

Seeing this scene, Xu Xianchun really panicked.

He hurriedly grabbed Chen Hong, and was about to kneel down, crying and saying with a sad face: "Father-in-law, father-in-law, you can't ignore me." It's not a big deal. Not to this extent! ”

"Not for that?" Chen Hong sneered and said, "Your Majesty wants to strictly investigate the person, how dare you let go?" ”

"Just enough food? Who are those people? ”

"Hoarding is strange, and bad things are done. Did Your Majesty collect them just for food? It was to punish them. Now it's good, bad things have become good. If they donate food, do they still have to erect a monument for them? ”

"If this matter reaches His Majesty's ears, what do you want His Majesty to think? Let me tell you, Xu Xianchun, if you say that you were greedy for this money in the process of confiscation, it will be better than what you are doing now. Your Majesty may turn a blind eye to the money you are greedy for. But we don't dare to take this money. ”

After saying this, Chen Hong flicked his sleeves and walked outside. He didn't dare to stay here anymore. As for what he originally wanted to explain to Xu Xianchun, he didn't dare to explain it anymore now.

The reason is also very simple, Xu Xianchun made such a mistake, and whether he can do the errand or not is two words.

If Xu Xianchun can't do the errand next, he will naturally not be able to explain the matter to him.

Xu Xianchun looked at the back of Chen Hong leaving, the expression on his face was cloudy, and then he slowly stood up and waved his hand with some annoyance.

Why did you bother to tell him about this?

If you don't say it yourself, isn't it good to take money honestly?

At the same time, Xu Xianchun was also dissatisfied with Chen Hong.

What's the big deal? Is it just you in the palace?

However, Xu Xianchun just flashed such a thought, and he was still a little scared in his heart. After all, if Chen Hong enters the palace to sue him, I'm afraid that some things will still not be explained clearly.

What's more, if someone doesn't break it, it's the best, and if someone breaks it, it can't be explained.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Xianchun walked out quickly.

Since the matter has come out, Chen Hong will definitely not hide it for himself, and he will go directly to His Majesty to ask for guilt. Otherwise, by the time Chen Hong sues himself, it will be too late.

Zhu Youxiao's residence.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao was eating.

A bowl of ordinary oily noodles is made by the imperial chef who follows it, and it is full of color, flavor.

Paired with a head of garlic, it can be regarded as a human enjoyment for Zhu Youxiao.

took off his dragon robe, and Zhu Youxiao was sweating profusely.

At this time, Chen Hong walked in from outside.

His steps were very eager, and he didn't hesitate at all after seeing Zhu Youxiao, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong and said, "What did you do wrong?" Such a big salute. ”

"The emperor, it's Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyi Guard." Chen Hong hurriedly said.

He didn't hide it in the slightest, and directly told Zhu Youxiao the whole thing, and then said: "The slave is guilty, please ask the emperor to punish the crime." ”

"What's the matter with you?" Zhu Youxiao said in a calm tone: "What does a eunuch in the palace have to do with Jinyiwei?" You don't have to worry about the affairs of Jinyiwei. ”

"Stand up and step aside, go out and see if Xu Xianchun is here? If you come, bring it in. By the way, he has a henchman called what? ”

"Back to the emperor, my name is Cui Yingyuan." Chen Hong hurriedly said.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Find him too." ”

When he said these words, Zhu Youxiao didn't look up, but kept eating noodles, and he didn't even stop peeling garlic.
