Chapter 1876: Complicity
As soon as these words came out, Xu Jie's face suddenly changed.
Zhu Xiaoxi is the younger brother of Cheng Guogong, and is currently the commander of the Jinyi Weizuo, in charge of the intelligence work of the Ming Dynasty. If he had paid attention to Yan Song's information in advance, he would definitely have been able to know whether Yan Song's death was true or false.
Once it is confirmed that Yan Song's death is true, not only will his practice of inflating Yan's family silver be affected, but Yan Song and Yan Song's grandsons are likely to be pardoned by the emperor.
Not to mention whether he can continue to pour dirty water on Yan Song, his inactive first assistant will definitely be questioned even more, and it will not be easy to continue to serve as the first assistant in the next day.
It was in this kind of worry that a handsome middle-aged man was ushered in, it was Zhu Xiaoxi, the left commander of the Fusi Zuo in Beizhen.
Zhu Xiaoxi strode here, but he turned a blind eye to Xu Jie and Lin Haoran, the two important ministers, and said respectfully to Jiajing on the dragon bed: "The left commander of the Fusi of Chenbei Town sent Zhu Xiaoxi to meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”
is also kneeling, but Zhu Xiaoxi knelt with a momentum.
Jiajing sighed secretly, and responded lightly: "Flat!" ”
"Emperor Xie!" Zhu Xiaoxi gave another salute and stood up from the ground.
Following Lin Haoran, he was suddenly summoned here by the emperor. Just looked at the emperor who had not been seen for a long time lying on the dragon bed, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, but he was worried about the condition of the saint today.
Jiajing's heart sank slightly, and he immediately asked directly: "Commander Zhu, does Beizhen Fusi have the latest information about Yan Ge Lao?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Jie and the others couldn't help but tighten their hearts slightly, and they all turned their heads to look at Zhu Xiaoxi with concern. Xu Jie, in particular, had even heard his own heartbeat.
Zhu Xiaoxi's face did not have the slightest expression, and he responded with a serious attitude: "Back to the emperor, there have indeed been two rumors about Yan Ge Lao in the capital recently, and the minister immediately investigated!" ”
Hey?
When Xu Jie heard this answer, his eyes flashed with a hint of joy.
Obviously, the Beizhen Division did not receive the information from the Jiangxi Branch Office about the death of Yan Gelao, otherwise Zhu Xiaoxi would not have used the word "investigation", but directly conveyed the news of the death.
When Lin Haoran heard this answer, he also sighed secretly in his heart.
The officials and the people have completely different treatments, and if Yan Song is still the elder of the Zhishi, he will naturally attract much attention, but Yan Song has been reduced to the people, and the Jiangxi Branch Office will naturally not stare at a "small people".
Jiajing also heard the meaning of the words, but asked lightly: "What are the gains?" ”
"Your Majesty, it is rumored that Yan Ge Lao has taken refuge in Henan's protégé Wang Tianguan, and the minister has ordered Henan to verify it, and found that this matter is false! After many secret investigations, this matter was caused by rumors in the capital, and I am afraid that someone with a heart deliberately did it! Zhu Xiaoxi immediately reported the results of the investigation.
This......
Huang Jin couldn't help but glance at Xu Jie, and then at Jiajing who was leaning on the head of the bed, these words simply pointed to Xu Jie, who repeatedly insisted that Yan Song's death was a rumor.
Xu Jie listened to Zhu Xiaoxi's obviously targeted words, and a sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart, and he immediately thought of the relationship between Lin Haoran's sister and Zhu Xiaoxi's daughter Zhu Jinhua, but he looked at Lin Haoran next to him as if he was aware of it.
This kid just proposed that the emperor ask the Jiangxi officials, how could he really be so kind, it was obvious that this kid guessed that the emperor would definitely ask Zhu Xiaoxi, the head of the Jinyi Guard, who was in charge of intelligence work.
The matter was calculated by this kid from beginning to end, he had actually been in cahoots with Zhu Xiaoxi, but he quickly smashed the rumors he released, and even poured dirty water on himself through this incident.
From Zhu Xiaoxi's mouth, it was confirmed that "Yan Ge Lao took refuge in his protégé" was a rumor made by Beijing, which is undoubtedly almost equivalent to pointing the finger at himself, and young people still have to talk about martial arts!
Jiajing thought of Xu Jie's reaction just now, and asked in a deep voice, "Then you...... Can you find out who did it? ”
Mutter......
Although Xu Jie's self-deception is secretive, this is the pervasive Beizhen Fusi, and the ghost knows if he really found something. Once it is confirmed that it was the rumor he put out, then the emperor is afraid that he will be heavily responsible.
Lin Haoran's heart moved slightly, and he looked at Zhu Xiaoxi hopefully.
Xu Jie looked at Zhu Xiaoxi and seemed to glance at him, and immediately mentioned his voice, but Zhu Xiaoxi shook his head lightly and said, "Back to the emperor, this matter ...... Not yet! ”
Call......
Xu Jie secretly exhaled a breath of turbidity, but he didn't know if Zhu Xiaoxi deliberately sold his favor, or if he had really done enough secrecy work on his side, but he didn't know at the moment.
Lin Haoran's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, but he also knew that it was difficult to find out about Xu Jie's body. Even if Zhu Xiaoxi really testified against Xu Jie, Xu Jie might be pushed to the scapegoat.
has been in the officialdom for a long time, and no one will easily fall into the handle, and Xu Jie's is naturally the same.
Jiajing glanced at Xu Jie thoughtfully, faintly smelled some conspiracy, and asked lightly: "What about another rumor?" ”
"This news does come from Jiangxi, and it comes from multiple channels, and this matter is quite credible!" Zhu Xiaoxi seemed conscientious, and responded again: "The minister checked the old affairs of the Fusi in Beizhen and learned that after Yan Ge Lao was confiscated, Yan Ge Lao lived by the cemetery in Jieqiao Village. At the beginning of this year, he suddenly went missing, and the old slave of the Yan family has been looking for it, but it has been unsuccessful! ”
Hey?
Huang Jin listened to Zhu Xiaoxi's words, couldn't help but think about it seriously, and found that the latter's credibility was indeed higher. In particular, one rumor is denied, and the other is undoubtedly confirmed with a high probability.
When Jiajing learned that Yan Song had fallen into such a field, he immediately reprimanded with a calm face: "Is the local government just sitting back and watching like this? He's the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty! ”
This......
When Xu Jie heard this, he couldn't help but swallow and spit secretly, and found that things were getting more and more out of control.
Zhu Xiaoxi was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and reported again: "Yan Ge Lao has been reduced to the people, and the local government does not care about this matter, and has not sent officials to look for it!" Last month, a few scholars were hiding from the rain in the broken temple, but they saw Yan Ge Lao, who was as thin as a ghost, so this matter was quite consistent in time! ”
Although Xu Jie knew that it was best to be silent at this time, he still chose to stand up and stir up: "Commander Zhu, since this is all rumors, and you don't have the exact news from Jiangxi, then you can't take it seriously, it is impossible to speculate out of thin air!" ”
"Lord Motosuke, how can this matter be said to be speculation out of thin air? If you want me to say, you have to blame your good protégé for keeping the festival in this matter, not to mention this delay, and there are many inappropriate behaviors, at least you have to settle down Yan Ge Lao! Lin Haoran stood up and stirred up trouble.
