Ma Du did not go to Nanzhen Fusi, but went straight to the palace, and asked people to wait outside the palace gate after a notification. Not long after, a eunuch came from the palace.

Looking a little familiar, Madu couldn't help but laugh out loud when he got to the front, "Who should I be, isn't this Ashikaga Shogun?" ”

The person in front of him was not someone else, it was Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, dressed as a eunuch, with no beard on his lips, and he looked a lot whiter.

However, he didn't have a good face for Ma Du, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "Grandpa misunderstood me for life." ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Grandpa, this is a knowingly asked. Why don't you remind me that the eldest companion of the imperial grandson is actually a eunuch. ”

"Doesn't the general know that Otomo is a eunuch? Alas! Ma Du sighed heavily and slapped his thigh, "I thought my father-in-law knew that he was willing to serve the emperor's grandson." ”

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu gritted his teeth and said: "Ridiculous, I have also been a shogun, how can I be willing to be a eunuch." ”

Ma Du said coldly: "The emperor loves the imperial grandson so much, and the imperial grandson said that no one can stop you from being a big companion." Now that it is a boat, it is useless for you to be resentful, if you let the emperor know that you are so unwilling, I am afraid that you will not even have a chance to be a man in the future! ”

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu shuddered when he heard this, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "What the grandfather taught is that it is the slave who is rude, please punish the grandfather." ”

"Count you on alert! Let's go, take me to the emperor. ”

Madu trained him, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu immediately regained his identity and led the way.

"You don't stay with the emperor's grandson, why do you run to serve the emperor."

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu turned his head and replied: "The slave maid has just been purified, and the emperor asked the slave maid to follow the rules of the Motosheng Gonggong." ”

"That's the case, are you still used to the days in the palace?"

"It's fine, but it's not very comfortable."

"That is, especially in front of the emperor. Is the emperor in a good mood today? ”

"Grandpa asked knowingly, I heard that the emperor has been angry every day for the past two months."

Ma Du and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu chatted all the way to the Jinshen Palace, stepped forward to kowtow to Lao Zhu, and heard as soon as they got together, "You don't stay in Fangshan to be a filial son and grandson, why did you come here." ”

"Wechen hasn't seen His Majesty's mother for a long time, and he misses it very much, so he came to ask His Majesty for peace."

Lao Zhu put down his pen and leaned back in his chair, and said very simply: "I haven't been very good with the queen recently, you know why, you are not the queen who invited me to persuade me." ”

"Your Majesty is not Tang Taizong, and Weichen does not have Wei Zheng's backbone."

"Haha......" Lao Zhu laughed, "and said that he didn't come to persuade me, or don't waste your words in vain, you know what I hate the most." ”

"Weichen really didn't come to persuade His Majesty, in fact, he came to ask for someone, Lao Liu didn't know why he was arrested by Jinyiwei, so he came over to ask. If he hadn't done anything, His Majesty would have let him go home as soon as possible. ”

Lao Zhu frowned and said, "If he wants to be greedy, he is also greedy for your family's silver, what am I going to do with him?" ”

Yuan Sheng suddenly muttered a few words in Lao Zhu's ear, and Lao Zhu suddenly realized: "It seems that there really is!" Yuan Sheng asked people to go to Nanzhen Fusi and bring their confessions. ”

They? I don't know who Lao Zhu is referring to.

Lao Zhu looked at Ma Du's blank expression, "Why don't you understand it yet?" I still don't want to accept it in my heart. It doesn't hurt to tell you directly, Liu Chujiu is my person. ”

Lao Liu is Jinyiwei? It's the brocade guard lurking in his house!

It's as if a grenade exploded in Madu's head, impossible! Lao Liu has been with him for twenty years, and he is almost the person he trusts the most, and it will be Jinyiwei!

It's like Song Shuang, who shared a bed with him and told him that he was a man, and this blow almost destroyed his three views.

But after a short period of shock, he woke up in his heart, and he felt that it was possible instead of impossible, Lao Liu was Lao Zhu's pro-soldier, and some of the predecessor inspection organization of Jinyiwei was selected from the pro-soldiers he trusted, such as An Huzi's father.

After suddenly realizing it, he was even more annoyed, and Ma Du blurted out: "Your Majesty has said it yourself that you have never installed a brocade guard in Weichen's house." ”

Lao Zhu spread his hands and smiled: "I am telling the truth, I really did not install a brocade guard in your house." Liu Chujiu was placed in Hongdu to monitor Wenzheng back then, but you just want to get him to his home as a long-term follower. made Wen Zheng collude with Zhang Shicheng, and I didn't know any news. I don't blame you, but you complain about me! ”

Belch...... I really didn't expect Lao Zhu to beat him up, but the fact seems to be like this, Ma Du was speechless, and was silent for a long time before he said: "Nanzhen Fusi is in charge of the discipline and military law of the Jinyi Guard, and it seems unreasonable to suddenly arrest Lao Liu, Your Majesty suddenly arrested him for interrogation, did he break the law or Weichen broke the law." ”

"You don't have to think about it, I just want to find out whether you nobles are involved in the embezzlement case in the treasury."

Ma Du's hanging heart finally let go, glad that it was not Lao Zhu who was the killer, "Your Majesty knows that neither Xungui nor civil officials can pee in the same pot, and it is impossible to embezzle with them." ”

Lao Zhu sneered, "Not necessarily, see for yourself!" ”

He threw over a twist, Ma Du opened it and looked at it, and his scalp exploded all at once, and almost all the names of the nobles were on it, and he exclaimed: "Impossible! They're crazy! ”

Lao Zhu sighed and said, "I asked Yang Shuping to track down the whereabouts of those grains, guess where they went?" These rotten people sold their grain at a low price, and most of the cheap grain merchants, and some of them went into the grain stores opened by the nobles' families. ”

"Grain trading is the most common business done by large families, especially Xungui's family, there are many people, except for Weichen, who thinks that the profit of grain trading is thin, almost every family has it. In the business field, buy low and sell high, and whoever has good quality and low price will naturally enter whose goods. It is not their turn to personally inquire about this kind of petty business, and I am afraid that they will not know about it. ”

Ma Du said lightly on his lips, but in his heart it was turbulent, could it be that this Guo Huan case was the last straw that crushed Xungui?

"It's not necessarily that anyone doesn't know, it's just that they are pretending to be confused. Therefore, I only came to the brocade guards who were lurking in various families to ask for a clear understanding, and some of them had been hidden for many years, and no one knew whether they were reliable or not, so they asked Nanzhen Fusi to use some means. ”

"Your Majesty, Lao Liu is old, but he can't withstand the punishment of Nanzhen Fusi. The door of Weichen's house is open for Jinyiwei at any time, go directly to Weichen's house to check, and let Lao Liu return to his hometown. ”

Lao Zhu rubbed his hands and said: "You are affectionate, there are fewer people in every family, so you are the only one who came here to ask for someone." It is impossible for Liu Chujiu to return to his hometown, since he has become a brocade guard, his children and grandchildren are all going to serve this bowl of rice, not to mention that he still has a false title of a thousand households. Don't worry, Nanzhen Fusi is measured, and he won't kill him. ”

"I didn't see that Lao Liu was still a big official, but his incense was broken, I'm afraid that no one will take over his shift!"

While the two were talking, Yuan Sheng came over with a tray and a thick stack of paper on it, "Your Majesty, the confession sent by Nanzhen Fusi." ”

"Well, Yuansheng, you tell Nanzhen Fusi again and let them let Liu Chujiu go." After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he picked up the stack of paper and looked at it, and he could see ten lines at a glance, but he finished turning it over with a stick of incense, "Hmph, Liu Chujiu betrayed me!" I shouldn't have just let him go. ”

"Your Majesty, what you said is unfair, there are some big and small things in Weichen's family, you know it clearly."

"Just look at his confession!"

Ma Du took it and only saw that half of his lungs were blown up, and he said all the bullshit at home, such as the old loach and Zhang Wuliu's grandmother had a private affair, and the second lady in the family may like women, even Ma Du and Song Shuang's private words.

"How dare this old bastard say anything!"

Lao Zhu snorted coldly, "You even told your mother-in-law that I am lustful and shameless, and let her stay away from me when she enters the palace." I don't look at what kind of virtue your mother-in-law has, her face is not smooth at all, her chin is pointed and can be used as an awl, she jumps up and down like a monkey all day long, and she is a luxury loser, I will look down on such a woman? That is, you are blind! ”

Lao Zhu's poisonous tongue was really not covered, and Song Shuang heard that eighty percent would hang himself. Madu Ninja was angry in his chest and persuaded: "Lao Liu has taken care of my family's affairs, how can you say that he betrayed you." ”

"Then you haven't read the confessions of others!" Lao Zhu said and handed over two more confessions.

One is from Fushou, the Duke of Wei, the one Hu Weiyong tried to buy; The other is Chang Wu, the pro-soldier leader of the Zheng Guo Mansion. These two are the most trusted people by Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, who would have thought that they were also Jinyiwei, Ma Du's heart was much more balanced.

But Ma Du was startled when he saw their confessions, the front was normal, but in the back, it was all about how Xu Chang and the others were corrupt and bribed, plotting misdeeds and the like.

"Wei Guogong and Zheng Guogong are loyal to you, Your Majesty must not be gullible......"

"I'm not a fool, how can I believe the testimony that was forced to be asked later. Now you understand why I said that Liu Chujiu betrayed me. Lao Zhu waved his hand as if he was a little sad, "He's your person, take it home." ”

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu suddenly arrived in the hall and whispered a few words to Yuansheng, Yuansheng's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Ma Du and then whispered to Lao Zhu: "Your Majesty, Liu Chujiu is outside the Fusi Gate of Nanzhen...... Well...... Self-cut! ”
