In the warm pavilion, after Xie Qian and other three scholars took turns to circulate the complaint, the three of them gave Emperor Hongzhi's advice on this matter in a word.

The opinions of the three of them were not much different from those of Wang Dehui, and they all suggested sending someone to further investigate the problems in the clouds.

On the one hand, it is to verify the veracity of these complaints of Xie Zhi.

On the other hand, it is also necessary to find out who is involved behind the deep-seated matter.

After Emperor Hongzhi made an opinion on the three of them, he immediately issued an order.

Emperor Hongzhi attached great importance to this matter in the clouds, and not only sent Mu Bin and Xiao Jing out, but also sent people from the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The Quartet does not belong to each other.

The investigation of Mu Bin and Xiao Jing was considered to be a private investigation by Emperor Hongzhi, and the Criminal Department was set up to investigate the Ma family.

After discussing the results with Xie Qian and other cabinet scholars, the four passers-by were sent out as soon as possible.

Emperor Hongzhi's sending Xie Zhi to the clouds was a support for his ideas.

After Xie Zhi had already revealed the evidence of Ming Huanghuang, Emperor Hongzhi naturally had to support it.

When Xie Qian returned home from duty, the men and horses sent out by Emperor Hongzhi had already been gone for several hours.

After He Liang sent the news to Wang Dehui, he returned to Xie's house.

Xie Zhi's letter was written to Xie Qian, but in the final analysis, it was a family letter, and Mrs. Xie was anxious to know Xie Zhi's situation, so she couldn't wait for Xie Qian to come back, so she opened it in advance.

On the letter, Xie Zhi did not mention a word about the things in the clouds, and the whole text was a greeting to the Xie family.

Naturally, Mrs. Xie knew that He Liang had a purpose in returning to Beijing, but she did not ask directly.

After reading the letter, all I asked was how to thank you.

Xie Zhi mentioned the things in the clouds in the letters, and He Liang didn't say much to Mrs. Xie, but replied: "The young master is very good in the clouds, there is Young Master Wang, and Mr. Tang, Mr. Xu helps, and Mrs. can rest assured." ”

Mrs. Xie didn't keep asking He Liang, and after asking a few words, she sent him down to rest.

He Liang came back from a night's journey, but he was very tired.

Not only that, in order not to delay time, He Liang had to rush back to Lian Ye.

So after saying goodbye to Mrs. Xie, I went back to rest.

After sleeping in his room, he woke up and was called by Xie Qian.

As soon as he entered the hall, Xie Qian asked directly, "Is it okay for the young master to be in the clouds?" ”

Xie Qian's situation in the clouds was already known in the palace, and his son's situation was indeed unknown.

In this case, I can only ask He Liang.

As soon as he heard Xie Qian's question, He Liang immediately told Xie Zhi's heroic deeds in the clouds.

Xie Zhi's every thing in the cloud is really worth mentioning.

The result or something, Xie Qian already knows.

After listening to He Liang tell the process of these things, Xie Qian's dark face gradually became a little bloody, and he actually pulled a smile and said, "That kid still has some brains. ”

He Liang was extremely excited when he heard Xie Qian's praise of Xie Zhi, he was happier than he praised him, and said happily: "Ma Tiannan gave the young master a thousand taels of silver in two installments in order to buy the young master. ”

The corners of Xie Qian's mouth twitched, he restrained his smile, got up and said: "Your Majesty has ordered Jinyiwei, Dongchang, the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to enter the clouds to investigate, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are still Mu Bin and Xiao Jing personally went, you rush back overnight, tell that kid about it, let that kid not act rashly, and wait for the final will of the imperial court to be issued." ”

No matter how strong Xie Zhi grows up, he is still a child who grows up in Xie Qian's heart.

In response to Xie Qian's advice, He Liang then replied: "Yes, young master, the villain will set off immediately." ”

Emperor Hongzhi's will was urgent, and the people of the four departments were also in a hurry.

After He Liang rushed back to the clouds overnight, the people of the four departments had already entered the realm of the clouds.

Of course, no matter which part of the people in the four departments investigate, they will not be notified in advance.

Xie Zhi didn't know that these people had arrived.

It's just that he learned about Emperor Hongzhi's will from He Liang's mouth, and guessed that these people had arrived.

After listening to the news from He Liang, Xie Zhi said with a smile: "I don't know who was sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department, as far as Xiao Jing and Mu Bin are absolutely loyal to Your Majesty, this investigation will be fair and just, as long as they can report to Your Majesty like this, we have nothing to worry about, at most two or three days, the final will of the imperial court should be able to come down." ”

That night, Wang Shouren cooked a table of food, and when several people were about to use chopsticks, a familiar person appeared in front of them.

"Grandpa Xiao, it's rare!" Xie Zhi greeted with a smile.

Xiao Jing walked to the table, looked at Wang Shouren's rolled up sleeves, and asked, "Wang Xiancheng cooks himself?" ”

Wang Shouren nodded and replied, "Now, the entire county government is paralyzed, and there are some cooking skills in Xia, which can only be done by himself." ”

Then, Xie Zhi asked with a smile, "Has Grandpa Xiao eaten?" Eat some more. ”

Xiao Jing waved his hand and said, "No, our family has to rush back overnight, and before coming out, we have to be instructed by Your Majesty to give Xie Zhixian a word." ”

Even if it's a verbal message, it has to be like being there in person.

When Xie Zhi was about to greet each other with a salute, Xiao Jing said: "No need, Your Majesty said that this is also a supervision from the elders to the juniors, Your Majesty said, very good, there is a long way to go, and you should continue to work hard." ”

It seems that Emperor Hongzhi is quite satisfied with what Xie Zhi has done.

Xie Zhi replied: "The minister obeys the order." ”

After Xiao Jing passed on the oracle of Emperor Hongzhi, Zhu Houzhao immediately asked eagerly: "What about this palace?" What can my father say to this palace? ”

Xiao Jing shook his head and said, "No." ”

Zhu Houzhao looked melancholy, and said aggrievedly: "How can my father be like this? It's a shame that the palace also wrote a letter, so why didn't he even leave a sentence for the palace. ”

If Emperor Hongzhi leaves a word of praise, this guy will have to fly to the sky.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't say anything, but said that he was still satisfied with it.

Xiao Jing didn't say much, nor did he answer, he arched his hand and said, "Our family has left." ”

After Xiao Jing left, Zhu Houzhao was still a little unhappy.

Xie Zhi sat down, grabbed his chopsticks, and said, "Your Majesty didn't have a special message to His Highness, which means that he is quite satisfied with His Highness." ”

Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised, and said: "If you are satisfied, you should have an edict, why do you have it, but this palace does not?" ”

Why does this guy have to compare with him?

Xie Zhi smiled and said, "This is probably a common problem for fathers, right?" No matter what the minister does, my father has never praised the minister. ”

Zhu Houzhao was relieved and said excitedly: "Ha, Master Xie is also like this?" ”

What's wrong? Others are not as good as him, and he is happy?

......

The four-way men sent by Emperor Hongzhi returned to Beijing on the second day.

After returning to Beijing, Emperor Hongzhi did not meet at the same time.

Not only did Xie Zhi not know who the people who went to the cloud to verify, but even the four people sent out had no contact with each other.

After all the people from all four roads reported the news from the verification, Emperor Hongzhi left Xiao Jing, who was the last to report the situation.

"Have you seen the prince?"

Xiao Jing replied: "I saw it, His Royal Highness has changed a lot compared to when he was in Beijing, a little less noble, but a little more mature. ”

"That's good, it seems that it's always good to go out and see the world."

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jing said: "The operation of the county government is paralyzed, and there are no miscellaneous servants, and it is Wang Shouren who cooks rice." ”

Emperor Hongzhi was a little surprised, and replied: "Most of the officials have been taken into custody, and it is reasonable that they cannot operate, and it is surprising that Wang Shouren can still cook." ”

Immediately, Emperor Hongzhi asked again: "Has the relationship between Yang Tai and Jingzhong been explored?" ”

Xiao Jing shook his head and said: "I don't know this, I only know that Yang Taihe once searched for young and beautiful women to send them to Jingshi, and I can't find any useful clues by following this clue." ”

Emperor Hongzhi didn't say much, and said: "Immediately draft the decree, Yang Taihe escorted Yunzhong to behead, his family members were enslaved by the army, and the two officials were charged with thirty, and they were assigned to fill the army, all of them were copied from the house, Ma Tiannan, Ma Jinxue was beheaded, and the rest of the family members were enslaved by the army and copied from the house." ”

After a pause, Emperor Hongzhi said again: "All the confiscated talents are allocated to Yunzhong County, and the county in Yunzhong will immediately settle the people and restore the normal operation of the county government." ”
