Under the gaze of Zhou Ji's group, Zhou Zheng was taken away by He Qitu and the two officials and walked in the direction of the Criminal Department.

Kou Huaiyi had been in charge of sorting out those books in Zhou Ji, and seeing that Zhou Zheng was arrested again, he looked at Liu Liuzhen with a confused face and said, "Liuzhen, the owner has been arrested again?" ”

Liu Liuzhen was also very worried at the moment, but his face was silent, and he said, "It's not a big deal." ”

Kou Huaiyi nodded silently, looking at Zhou Zheng's back as he drifted away.

In a teahouse not far away, Yang Sishao saw Zhou Zheng being taken away with his own eyes, his swollen eyes were full of smiles, he snorted, and said, "Even if you dare to go against me, I don't know how to write dead words!" ”

There was a housekeeper behind him, and he waited for a while before he said, "Fourth Shao, the third uncle will arrive in Beijing in a few days, do you want to prepare to pick it up?" ”

Yang Si rarely saw Zhou Zheng being arrested, and his mood was extremely comfortable, and he said loudly: "The third uncle is coming, of course he wants to pick up, so I will use this weekly record as a welcome gift!" ”

Jiading's eyes lit up and said, "Four young people have an idea?" ”

Yang Sishao put his hands behind his back and said arrogantly: "Tomorrow there will be news of Zhou Zheng's death, this week's record will be leaderless, when the time comes, I will use both soft and hard, and I will buy it for ten taels of silver!" ”

Jia Ding hurriedly patted his ass and said, "Four young people are wise! The third uncle, his old man, will definitely be very happy! ”

Yang Sishao looked at Zhou Ji, his eyes were shining, and he was full of greed.

This week's note is a hen that can only lay eggs, and when you get it, it's another source of money!

Cui Chengli naturally got the news quickly, and he was drinking, he was very happy, and said: "Tell my brother, don't rush to Dongchang first, I'm going to teach him a lesson!" ”

As he spoke, he picked up the mallet that Cui Chengxiu often beat him, took a sip of wine, touched his mouth, and ran to the punishment department with it.

Just as they were moving, it was when He Qitu escorted Zhou Zheng to the Criminal Department that Meng Hezhou appeared outside the Daming Gate with a middle-aged man.

Here are all around the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry and other big yamen, Daming Gate enters, is the Forbidden City, is the palace!

The middle-aged man had a cold sweat on his head, and his eyes were hateful, and he looked at Meng Hezhou beside him and said, "What you said, as long as I go in, I can clear my father's grievances?" ”

Meng Hezhou said lightly: "The new emperor has just ascended the throne, do you have any other opportunities besides now?" ”

The middle-aged man took a deep breath, his eyes were firm, and said, "Can I go to the noon gate?" ”

Meng Hezhou said: "Don't worry, I've already got through for you, and it's up to you to do it." ”

"Okay, as long as I get to the noon gate, everything is my business, and it has nothing to do with you, just rest assured!" The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

Meng Hezhou's expression did not move, looking at Damingmen.

The corners of the middle-aged man's face straightened, and he strode over.

There was really no one to stop him, he kept walking inside, the road was very long, there were many guards, and there were occasional checks, but he still passed through the end gate smoothly and entered the noon gate.

In front of the noon gate, there was a group of guards, as well as the officials of the Imperial Court, and not far from the door, there was a huge drum full of dust and extremely tall - Dengwen Drum!

As soon as the drum sounded, according to the rules, the supervising imperial historian on duty should lead the wrongdoer into the palace and meet the emperor in person, otherwise, die!

And today, it is the day when the new emperor has just moved into the palace.

The middle-aged man looked at the noon gate, looked at a group of guards and servants, turned his gaze to Dengwengu, and strode forward with a sigh of relief.

The guards and officials saw it, but they turned a blind eye.

On the arrow tower of the noon gate, there were two superintendents, they were on duty today, watching this middle-aged man come over, looking at each other, and did not speak.

The middle-aged man came to the drum, reached out and took the drumstick, took a deep breath, and struck it vigorously with red eyes.

Knock knock

The sound of the drums was dull, heavy, and loud, exploding at the noon gate, and quickly transmitted to all directions of the Forbidden City.

I don't know how many people have been alarmed by this sound of drums, the new emperor has just moved into the palace, and the sound of the drums has made countless people sigh in their hearts and look in the direction of the noon gate.

The first to be alarmed was the six yamen on both sides of the Daming Gate, and some of the bigwigs went out, looking in the direction of the palace, and anxiously asked what happened.

And the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Yamen of the Three Divisions of Dali Temple also quickly learned about the sound of the drums, and some people were shocked, and at the same time their faces were full of horror, not knowing what was happening.

The two superintendents on the arrow tower looked at the people beating the drum below, glanced at each other, and went downstairs in unison.

They were to fulfill their duty and take this drummer into the palace to meet the emperor.

The middle-aged man looked at the two supervising imperial histories, tried his best to calm his mind, raised his hand and said, "Trouble the two adults." ”

One of the overseers, Yushi, said lightly: "We just do things according to the rules. ”

The middle-aged man didn't know much about the inside story, but still raised his hand and said, "I know, I'm tired." ”

The superintendent didn't say much, didn't ask anything, explained a few words, and turned to the noon gate.

After a few words of explanation to the guards at the noon gate, I saw a guard rushing inside, heading straight for the Qianqing Palace.

The two superintendents of the imperial history and the middle-aged man were waiting, waiting for the emperor's summons.

The three of them, their faces were as heavy as water, and they didn't say a word.

The new emperor has just ascended the throne and has just moved into the palace from the hidden mansion, at this time, who can not be nervous!

Zhou Zheng had already come to the front of the criminal department at this moment, listening to the faint sound of drums, and the smile on his face flashed.

This scene was noticed by He Qitu, his expression changed slightly, and he said, "You did it?" ”

Zhou Zheng looked at He Qitu and said, "The fish is dead and the net is broken, my little fish, can I make Cui Tangguan's fish die and the net is broken?" ”

He Qitu looked in the direction of the noon gate, his scalp was numb, and he waved his hand and said, "Take him in." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly ran into the criminal department and went straight to Cui Chengxiu's room.

Cui Chengxiu also heard Dengwen Drum, but he was not too surprised, and was still busy with his affairs.

Seeing He Qitu come in, he put down his pen and looked at him.

He Qitu calmed down, raised his hand and said, "My lord, did you hear the sound of drums?" ”

Cui Chengxiu took the teacup and said, "I heard it once last year, and again this year, it hasn't sounded for decades, but it's been Qin's voice recently." ”

Seeing that Cui Chengxiu didn't know much, He Qitu stepped forward and said in a low voice: "My lord, I brought Zhou Zheng here, I suspect that this Dengwengu is his ghost." ”

Cui Chengxiu's face changed slightly, thinking that it was related to Zhou Zheng last time, and Zhou Zheng was supervising the imperial history before, so he didn't care about drinking tea, put down the teacup, and said with a deep color: "How much do you know?" ”

He Qitu said: "The lower officials haven't had time to ask, but now I'm afraid that someone has been brought into the palace, if it is really for adults, I don't know ...... new emperor."

Cui Chengxiu's face was calm, he didn't speak, and his eyes flashed rapidly.

Now the government and the opposition are trying to find out the temperament of the new emperor and the attitude towards the current ministers of the government and the opposition, especially the attitude towards Wei Zhongxian.

No one dares to move until they find out.

If it was really for him, what would be the attitude of the new emperor?

Cui Chengxiu, as a eunuch boss and an important minister of the imperial court, is naturally extremely sensitive to the current court situation, and he can't help but feel a little flustered.

"Don't move that week, I'll go out." Cui Chengxiu looked at He Qitu and said in a deep voice.

He Qitu nodded solemnly, he knew what Cui Chengxiu was going to do, and he was as nervous as he was.
