"First they got a woman and asked me to give it to our master. I didn't know that the woman was a secret prostitute, and they forced me to commit adultery with that woman, making me feel sorry for our master, so that I had no way back. You all know what happened next. ”

"Do you know where that Zhao He is?" Mu Bin stared at Qin Lin and asked.

Qin Lin shook his head, and then said, "How can I know this?" Since that Aoba entered the palace, don't talk about his people, I don't even have news of him. ”

Mu Bin and Yang Lian glanced at each other, and they understood what was going on.

There are only two key figures in the whole case, one is that Zhao He, and the other is that Qingyezi.

Now that green leaf is dead, and Zhao He is gone. The case is a little uneasy to investigate here.

However, one thing was also confirmed, that is, as the two of them guessed, the so-called White Lotus Sect is not really the White Lotus Sect, it is true that someone wants to rebel, and they have organized a lot of people, but they are not the same thing as the White Lotus Sect.

Standing up and glancing at Mu Bin, Yang Lian said, "Let's go and report to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

At this point, the investigation must continue, but there are no good clues in front of us.

Mu Bin nodded, he also knew that it was not good for things to come to this point, so he would continue.

The only thing left is to investigate slowly and send undercover agents to follow up on clues, which are all things that need to be arranged for a long time.

It's impossible to find something as quickly as it is now.

However, the two of them were not decadent, but a little excited.

As the commander of the Jinyi Guard and the eunuch of the Palm Seal of the Qiwei Zhai Insider Factory, Mu Bin and Yang Lian are not most afraid of this. What they fear most is that there is nothing to do, as long as there is something to do, the bigger the better.

Now there is such an organization in Daming, they want to assassinate His Majesty and subvert the imperial power of Daming!

This kind of person must be killed all, and the only one who can do such a thing is himself, then he has something to do!

For the two spy chiefs, this is not a bad thing, but a good thing.

The two of them came to the East Palace together.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao was about to go out, he promised Zhang Jun yesterday and took him to the Royal Academy today.

Speaking of which, after Zhu Houzhao arranged this matter, he himself did not go to the Royal Academy.

Now that he's going, after arranging things here, he's going to Suncheonfu.

Zhu Houzhao has been preparing for the judicial reform of the Ming Dynasty for a long time, especially about the arrangement of the six doors, he has to handle all of them personally, so he is ready to go over and sit in the town in person, starting from Shuntian Mansion.

This place in Suncheonfu is the land of Gyeonggi, and there are too many powerful people and officials.

Later generations once said that a stone thrown at Beijing could hit a division chief.

The Ming Dynasty is almost the same now, four and five grades are all over the street, six and seven are as many as dogs, and there are many central ministers, plus all kinds of nobles and relatives, if you want to carry out judicial reform in this place, it is absolutely impossible to do without a strong figure.

Looking inside and outside the court, there is no such person at all.

If you want to subdue these people, you must not only have power and courage, but also not be afraid of retaliation, even if they want to retaliate, they will not dare.

But apart from himself, His Royal Highness the Prince, there was no one else in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao was ready to arrange the affairs of the Royal Academy, and directly began to sit in Shuntian Mansion.

After hearing that Mu Bin and Yang Lian were coming, Zhu Houzhao directly called them in, waved his hand to signal the two of them to be polite, then turned his head to look at the two of them, and asked, "Is there any new progress?" ”

The two of them also saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had something to do, and there were many people standing around, and seeing His Royal Highness the Prince's dress, he also looked like he was going out, so the two of them didn't dare to delay time.

Yang Lian quickly reported what happened, and then stood aside respectfully with her head down.

Originally, the two of them thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be furious, or very angry, but both of them were disappointed.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't have any expression, as if this was not a big deal.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao did not regard it as a big deal, he was just a little surprised.

Originally, Zhu Houzhao also knew that what he would do in the future would touch the interests of many people, and it was not surprising that there were a few people who rebelled, and it would not be surprising that someone even murdered him.

It's just that I didn't expect these people to come so quickly, and these things were caused by a mere Yangzhou case.

Thinking that Qingyezi was from Jiangxi, Zhu Youxiao thought of a possibility, these people wouldn't collude with King Ning of Jiangxi, right?

When I first thought about it, I thought it was unlikely, but after thinking about it carefully, it was really possible.

His own King Ning, who had been squatting there and preparing to rebel.

There is such a big thing in Jiangnan, it is too unlikely that he will not intervene, if these people are not reined in, it is basically impossible to rely on them to do things.

Then it is very likely that King Ning made a move. He organized these people and used them to do shady things. Now it seems possible.

Although Zhu Houzhao was suspicious, he didn't plan to do anything, not because there was no evidence.

If you want to clean up a person, you don't need evidence, even if this person is a vassal king, just put on some bad ideas. If you don't want to make a big move, just change him to a fief.

For example, King Ning's original fief was in Daning, which is now the place where the Ming army has recovered.

Duoyan Sanwei has been destroyed, and it is now full of the army of the Ming Dynasty, if he makes a will to change the fief of King Ning back to Daning, no one can say anything.

As long as he does this, King Ning will run everything in Jiangxi, and it will come to naught in an instant.

After arriving in Liaodong, under the siege of heavy troops, he could only be a vassal king who could not do anything. If you send a few more people over, it is estimated that if there is one in three or five years, he will be extinct, and then King Ning's throne can be deposed.

But Zhu Houzhao was not ready to do this, because he thought of something.

His follow-up reforms need to touch people's interests more, especially in some places in the south of the Yangtze River. It is also a good thing that there is such a person who is collecting the opposition for himself, and he can rebel when the time comes.

He just took advantage of the opportunity to counter-insurgency, and the army went directly south, swept the entire Jiangnan and wiped out these people, otherwise it would be a lot more troublesome to make things worse.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao didn't take King Ning to heart, because it was meaningless, and it was not a big deal to let him stumble.

Zhu Hou glanced at Yang Lian and Mu Bin, and directly instructed: "You two continue to investigate, and report to the palace if you find anything." ”

The two of them nodded together, then bowed down and said, "The minister (slave) understands." ”

After the two of them retired, Zhu Houzhao saw Zhang Jun who came in.

It's just that now I can't take him away, and I need to report this matter to my father. Since the prince knows, it is inappropriate not to tell his father.

Glancing at Zhang Jun, Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth and said: "There are some things in this palace that need to go to the Qianqing Palace, Aiqing will wait here." ”

When he entered the door, Zhang Jun had already seen Yang Lian and Mu Bin.

These days, there is a lot of movement in Jinyiwei, and the courtiers all know that they are running errands for His Royal Highness the Prince.

Although many people wanted to know what they were doing, they couldn't find any news, just guessed that it was related to things in the palace, because the Taoist priest died too suddenly.

Anything that involves the palace, smart courtiers will choose to avoid suspicion, and Zhang Jun is naturally no exception.

Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to Qianqing Palace, it is obviously for this matter, and Zhang Jun naturally knows the severity.

"I'm waiting here." Zhang Jun bowed and said.

Zhu Houzhao did not delay, and went straight to the Qianqing Palace, where he met his father.

In fact, he knows that his father is in a good mood these days, because the estrangement with himself is gone, and at the same time, he knocked a lot of money from here, and his happiness may be more reason for the latter.

"Son-in-law, see father." After Zhu Houzhao saw his father, he saluted respectfully.

Waving his hand, Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked, "Aren't you going to the Royal Academy today?" How did you get to me? Could it be something? ”

"Back to my father, it's about that Taoist priest." Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said.

He didn't hide the matter, and directly told his father the whole story.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Houzhao said: "These people are crazy, and they are so bold that they plot against the sky. Erchen has already asked people to continue the investigation. ”

Zhu Youzhang's face is not very good-looking, and no one wants anyone to think about rebellion all day long, or even stare at his own murder.

But he won't blame his son, the Yangzhou case was originally something that should be dealt with, and what those people did was not right.

They bribed officials, controlled the salt administration, oppressed the localities, and colluded with each other, which can be said to be the greatest evil, and now they dare to commit such a great rebellion, and all of them should be killed.

"You let them be careful, these people should be caught all, and don't be merciful." Zhu Youzhu said.

"Erchen understands." Zhu Houzhao made a promise, he knew that his father was really angry this time.

In the past, when he was doing things by himself, my father was afraid that he would be cruel and unkind, so he reminded himself all the time to be benevolent and not to think about solving everything with knives and guns.

Now it seems that Dad is really angry, and directly let himself be ruthless.

But even if Dad doesn't say anything about this matter, he will be ruthless

"If there is nothing wrong with the father, the son will retire." Zhu Houzhao felt that the matter was almost over, so he directly proposed to retire, but he still explained, "Zhang Jun is still waiting for his son." ”

Zhu Youzhi is very satisfied with his son's performance.
