Although Xie Zhi had learned that this matter had something to do with King Ning, how it was operated had to be investigated.

No matter how it is disposed of in the future, it can be regarded as an explanation to the outside world.

After finding out this, Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao immediately went to find Emperor Hongzhi.

If what the Zhou family said is true, since King Ning dared to assassinate the emperor, it can be seen that he already has a backhand.

Now that the assassination of the emperor is not successful, it is very likely that the dog will jump over the wall in a hurry, and only by surprise can he win.

Emperor Hongzhi is now suffering from the grief of losing his beloved daughter, and when he saw Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao coming in, he didn't say much, but asked, "How is the matter investigated?" ”

When Xie Zhi handed over the confession in his hand, Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth and said, "Father, it is the Zhou family who poisoned the soup."

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked, and Zhu Houzhao chattered and scolded the Zhou family.

When Emperor Hongzhi read the confession, he scolded King Ning again.

Zhu Houzhao behaved like this, Xie Zhi can also understand, don't look at him on weekdays, he loves Zhu Xiurong very much.

Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang were sad, and he was actually very uncomfortable in his heart.

After Zhu Houzhao scolded and scolded for a while, Emperor Hongzhi also read the confession, endured all kinds of emotions in his heart, and said for a long time: "Is it true?" ”

This time, Xie Zhi replied: "It should be eight or nine inseparable, although the minister has done some torture to Zhou Ping, not including torture, but Zhou Ping's confession is seamless, and he confessed that he is King Ning, all of this will not be empty." ”

Xie Zhi can't guarantee the authenticity of Zhou Ping's testimony, but since he dares to present this testimony, he is somewhat sure.

Without waiting for Xie Zhi to make a suggestion, Emperor Hongzhi ordered: "Take your Yunzhongwei to raid the Zhou family and go immediately." ”

In the past, Emperor Hongzhi was extremely lenient to the Zhou family.

Some time ago, the Zhang family and the Zhou family snatched the fertile land, and even fought on the street, and Emperor Hongzhi did not do anything to the two families.

The factory guards are not vegetarians, and the actions of the Zhang family and the Zhou family, Emperor Hongzhi cannot have no rumors at all.

The reason why I didn't shoot at them was because I still remembered the friendship behind them.

But Emperor Hongzhi also has reverse scales, if he dares to touch his reverse scales, Emperor Hongzhi is not so easy to mess with.

As soon as he heard the will of Emperor Hongzhi, Zhu Houzhao had to act in a hurry.

Xie Zhi didn't do it right away, and regardless of Zhu Houzhao's anxiety, he said: "Your Majesty, if you raid the Zhou family, do you also want to dispose of King Ning?" ”

Xie Zhi asked clearly, and he could also know where the boundaries of his actions were.

Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "This poison is for me, Xiurong died on behalf of me, no matter who is involved this time, it will not be tolerated, and the drought in the middle of the country will be done in your way, if there is disobedience, it will be punished as rebellion." ”

This decree is much colder than Emperor Hongji's previous moderate rule.

As long as Emperor Hongzhi can support it strongly, then he will have more confidence.

Xie Zhi replied: "Yes, the minister will give His Majesty a satisfactory explanation." ”

Coming out of the palace, Xie Zhi took a team of Yunzhong guards and went straight to Qingyunhou Mansion.

At this moment, Zhou Shou didn't know that his grandson had been arrested, and when he saw Xie Zhi coming in, he was still very arrogant, "Xie Zhi, what do you mean by this?" ”

Xie Zhi didn't bother to pay attention to him, raised his head and said, "Come on, copy it for this county." ”

Zhou Shou still wanted to speak, but Zhu Houzhao couldn't help his rattling fist, and rushed forward and waved at Zhou Shou.

Zhou Shou, a person who is about to enter the ground, is Zhu Houzhao's opponent, as long as he is passively beaten.

Seeing that Zhou Shou was about to be killed, Xie Zhi pulled away Zhu Houzhao.

In this way, Zhou Shou died, which was a little too cheap for him.

As far as Zhou Shou has done bad things over the years, the ten fingers may not be able to be counted, and he must be repaid with blood.

In the Zhou family, Yun Zhongwei did not have the slightest politeness, and in Yun Zhongwei's tiger and wolf actions, the entire Qingyun Hou Mansion could be described as miserable.

In half an hour, there are many precious calligraphy and paintings, and precious antiques.

On the same day, Xie Zhi left some people to focus on sorting out these industries of the Zhou family, and he locked Zhou Shou in the Fusi Yamen of Beizhen.

Yun Zhongwei didn't have any room in Beijing, and he couldn't all be locked up in the torture room in the palace when he interrogated these foreign ministers.

There was no way, so Emperor Hongzhi gave Xie Zhi the approval of the site of Beizhen Fusi as appropriate.

Don't look at the venue, it is from Beizhen Fusi, but all the interrogations from top to bottom are in charge of Yun Zhongwei, and Jinyiwei does not have any chance to interfere.

After bringing Zhou Shou back to Beizhen Fusi, Xie Zhi sent someone to bring his grandson Zhou Ping here.

There is not only Zhou Ping, but also the two little eunuchs involved.

This matter is done by putting all the people involved together, and it is easy to manage.

After bringing these people, Xie Zhi deliberately brought Zhou Ping to Zhou Shou.

Zhou Shou was beaten badly, and Zhou Ping was not light.

Zhou Shou didn't have time to care about his injuries, but he asked Zhou Ping lovingly, "Ping'er, what's wrong?" ”

When Zhou Ping saw Zhou Shou, he began to cry, crying while telling his grievances, and said: "Father, thank you until he is not a human being, he soaked the whip in salt water and greeted his grandson, the grandson really couldn't stand it, so..."

Before the second half of Zhou Ping's sentence could be spoken, Zhou Shou covered his mouth with all his strength, "The wall has ears..."

Xie Zhi was listening outside the cell, but was suddenly interrupted at a critical moment.

simply didn't hide it, walked in directly, and ordered: "Zhou Shou and Zhou Ping are both important criminals, how can they be detained together, come and divide the detention for me, now the evidence is not perfect enough, and I will have to use another round of punishment later, I have long heard that Jinyiwei's torture instruments are all something, and they will be sent to take them out." ”

After Xie Zhi gave an order, soon a soldier from Yunzhongwei took Xie Zhi to another cell.

It didn't take long for the other members of the Zhou family to arrive.

Of course, Xie Zhi, who had access to the core secrets of the Zhou family, did not let go, and ordered: "Detain them in solitary form, make sure that they can hear each other's voices, once one of them speaks, it will be a psychological pressure on everyone else, so that the belief in their hearts will soon collapse." ”

After the order, Xie Zhi said again: "Zhou Shou should not be punished first, he is not young, but don't let him die like this easily." ”

Just when the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen was crying wolf, Changning Bo Zhou Yu was the Empress Dowager Zhou who hurriedly reported the affairs of Zhou Shou's family.

Zhou Yu knows very well that he and his brother have long been in a constant relationship, and honor and disgrace have long been tied together, although he has not done anything to him this time, it is only a matter of time or time.

Now that his brother is in trouble, he must do his best.

Once his brother is finished, he will never have a good life.

Long before Zhou Yu came, Empress Dowager Zhou heard some rumors from the mouths of the eunuchs around her.

Seeing Zhou Yu, he knew more clearly the cause and effect of some things.

"What? Raiding the house, how dare he? ”

Zhou Yu cried and continued: "Sister, he doesn't know what crime he committed, not only did he raid his house, but his family members were also not locked up in the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, as long as he entered that place, he would be stripped of his skin..."

In the midst of Zhou Yu's crying, the Empress Dowager Zhou had already gotten up with an angry face and instructed the people around her: "Go find the emperor and come over." ”

In the past, as long as the Empress Dowager Zhou was called, as long as it was not the occasion of the official meeting, Emperor Hongzhi would inevitably come over as soon as possible.

Today, the Empress Dowager Zhou sent people to urge two or three times, but she still didn't see the figure of Emperor Hongzhi.

Such a situation must not make Empress Dowager Zhou a little nervous, and at the same time even more angry.

If he hadn't adopted Emperor Hongzhi under his knees since he was a child, would Emperor Hongzhi be able to sit on the throne today?

When the Empress Dowager Zhou took a few close servants to the warm pavilion where Emperor Hongzhi usually worked, she was stopped by a few eunuchs guarding outside.

This warm pavilion is located next to the Fengtian Temple, and the people who come here on weekdays are all ministers of foreign courts.

But even the ministers of the foreign dynasty had to report to Emperor Hongzhi when they entered, and the little eunuch stopped the Empress Dowager Zhou just to report to Emperor Hongzhi.

But he didn't expect to be slapped by the Empress Dowager Zhou, "You dare to stop the mourning family when they see the emperor?" ”

What is the status of the Empress Dowager Zhou, this little eunuch also knows.

Despite this, after being slapped, he still knelt in front of the Empress Dowager Zhou and stopped him.

Just when there was a lot of noise outside, the door of the warm pavilion was opened by Xiao Jing from the inside.

Xiao Jing walked to the Empress Dowager Zhou's side with a flattering face, and said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager should go back, Your Majesty said that this matter is too big, and the Empress Dowager may not be able to hold it." ”

That's not a very polite remark.
