“…… It's all forced by Hu Weiyong...... Forcing the guilty ministers to swear a blood oath, no, no...... However, the criminal minister can't get out of the Hu Mansion at all! Wechen is ready to write an excerpt when he gets home, and he will meet tomorrow...... reported Hu Weiyong above, but he never thought that His Majesty would shine brightly, and he would ...... early There is a clear judgment, and the traitor is against the ...... The traitors will be swept away, long live my emperor! ”

There is no need for Lao Zhu to ask questions at all, Tu Jie has a trick, although he can't speak in a sentence, but he can speak in this situation, even if he has the courage.

In the cold winter, it was the coldest time of the weather, but on the ground in front of Tu Jie, it was already wet, and there were still large beads of sweat dripping down on his head, but his body was constantly shivering, and the sound of teeth fighting could be clearly heard.

Lao Zhu squinted his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose between his eyes, and ordered: "Untie him and let him write down his name!" ”

Jin Yiwei untied the ropes on Tu Jie's body, Yuan Sheng took a tray with paper and pen and put it in front of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Tu Yushi has thought clearly, but don't miss it!" ”

"Thank you father-in-law, Tu must be guilty of meritorious service!" Tu Jie took the tray and picked up the pen to write, his hands trembled a little, but he wrote quickly, the handwriting was a little sloppy but the content was very rich, this was a standard confession, and he did not forget to draw after writing.

Yuan Sheng saw that he had finished writing and held it in front of Lao Zhu's eyes, but Lao Zhu didn't look at it, and only asked, "How many dead soldiers does Hu Weiyong have?" ”

"Back to the emperor, there are no less than 500 people in the courtyard tonight, and everyone has firearms!" Seeing that Lao Zhu didn't directly pull himself out and cut him, Tu Jie breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his speech was much smoother.

Lao Zhu frowned and asked, "Where did he come from so many dead soldiers?" ”

"Weichen doesn't know that although his dead man is dressed as a Han, he can see that he is not a Han."

Lao Zhu's eyes widened suddenly, "It's a Mongolian?" ”

"It's not Mongolians, Hu Weiyong's dead soldiers are short in stature, and eighty percent of them are Japanese people. The sinners had seen the Japanese in his house more than once, many years ago. ”

"It's a Japanese person, that's right." Lao Zhu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Han Cheng now has a lot of widows in Yingtian City?" ”

Han Cheng replied: "Back to the emperor, there are no less than 2,000 Japanese people living in Yingtian, and most of them are young and strong, in addition to the Japanese students of Guozijian, they also set up a brothel near the Qinhuai River to take seeds, and there are also many Japanese merchants. ”

Although he has not experienced the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Lao Zhu is very begging for the little devil in his heart, "How come there are so many Japanese people, and they have all fucking forgotten that the Japanese invaded the sea border in the third year of Hongwu and robbed me of money and grain and kidnapped my people?" ”

"Your Majesty hasn't been to the market for a long time, and now there are not only Japanese people in Yingtian, but also Korean people and Semu people, all of whom come because of the sea trade, and one entry and one exit can make the city collect a lot of taxes."

"Oh, no wonder the prefect of Ying Tianfu wants to add a wharf by the river, so careful to do it, I'm afraid that Ying Tianfu has made a lot of money, you have to check the prefect in the air. You don't know that there are 500 dead soldiers in Hu Weiyong's house, this is your negligence, and I will punish you when this matter is over. ”

Lao Zhu looked at Tu Jie, who bowed his head and was silent, "If Hu Weiyong looks for you again, just make a false promise to him and relay his words and deeds to me." Step aside, you'll have to go to court early tomorrow. ”

When Tu Jie heard this, he hurriedly knocked his head on the ground and rattled his head on the ground, and he was grateful for the tears in his eyes, and he committed the great crime of punishing the nine clans, and the emperor did not beat, scold, or imprison, and he did not even remove him from his official position, and said that he would let people find himself in private.

God himself is a blessing in disguise and has become a close confidant of the emperor, Tu Jie vaguely feels that Hu Weiyong's current position seems to be beckoning to him. He was busy and thankful, "Weichen is willing to die for His Majesty's dogs and horses to repay the emperor's kindness." ”

"Han Cheng asked people to send him out of the palace!"

When Tu Jie got up, he seemed to remember something, "Your Majesty, when Weichen entered the Hu Mansion tonight, he seemed to see the steward of his hometown coming again, I don't know if there is something auspicious." ”

"Hmm!" Lao Zhu answered and stopped talking.

Seeing that the two subordinates escorted Tu Jie out of the palace gate, Han Cheng said suspiciously: "The emperor will let him go, it's too cheap for him, this person is loyal and treacherous, what if he turns around and tells Hu Weiyong again." ”

"Oh, will he be high to Hu Weiyong? Hehe...... That's for the best! Lao Zhu smiled disdainfully, "Just now he said that Hu Weiyong's hometown is here again, this time it shouldn't be auspicious, eighty percent of the people sent by Xuanzhong to Dingyuan to arouse their vigilance, this is to report to Hu Weiyong, let your people protect them to return to Beijing safely." ”

"Weichen takes the order!" As soon as Han Cheng turned around, another brocade-clothed guard entered the hall and handed Han Cheng a wax pill, and whispered a few words to him.

Han Cheng turned around and handed the wax pill to Lao Zhu, "Your Majesty, this is handed over by Lu Zhongheng from the mansion!" ”

Lao Zhu opened it and looked at it and sneered: "This group of people didn't stop getting together again in the middle of the night, and Yuan Sheng took it to add a few more names to the list." He casually threw the note to Yuan Sheng and asked him to copy the name that appeared on the note to the confession just now, and it didn't seem to matter whether the people in Lu Zhongheng's mansion were plotting to rebel against him.

"The villain has seen Xiangye!" Hu Kun knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Hu Weiyong.

Hu Weiyong frowned and asked, "When did you come?" Is my hometown auspicious again? ”

"The villain entered the city before dark, and when he entered the mansion, he was talking to the officials, and the housekeeper didn't let the little one disturb. There is no auspicious rui at home this time, but there is something to tell you. ”

"Tell me something!" Hu Weiyong said impatiently.

"Here's the thing, the villain just returned to Dingyuan after sending Xiangrui last time, and he met two strange people who inquired about our family in Zhuangzi, and went to our family's ancestral grave......"

"What! What are they doing in their ancestral graves, and where are they coming from! Hu Weiyong suppressed his throat and asked, it was the first time he had done such a thing as a rebellion, and it was false to say that he was not nervous.

"They seem to have gone to burn paper for the eldest young master! As for the villain, I don't know, one of them is an old person with an accent from Dingyuan, and the other person is very strange, with a holster on one eye, a hand missing, and an iron hook on the broken arm. The villain was worried that it was sent by Xiangye's opponent in the court, so he came back quickly, and along the way, two horses at the post station were tired, and the little one almost didn't fall to death. Hu Kun looked at Hu Weiyong with a look of invitation.

"Xiangye was sent by the surname Ma, and the only one with the eye cover and hook is the house slave surnamed Ma!" Chen Ning immediately reminded.

"Naturally, it's him!" Hu Weiyong calmed down and sat back in his chair, "Eighty percent of those years are Liu Chujiu, who is also from Dingyuan, and he used to be a personal soldier in front of the emperor. Did they inquire about the red light at night on the ancestral grave? ”

"I inquired, those poor villagers only need to give two big money, and even the prime minister watched the widow take a bath when he was young...... Phew, the little one said the wrong thing, please punish the minister! ”

Chen Ning said with a gloomy face: "If this matter spreads in Yingtian, we will be passive, once the emperor is alarmed, it will be exposed in advance, and these two people will not be able to stay!" ”

"It's easy to kill, but the surname Ma will only focus more on Dingyuan."

"Or even the surname Ma will be cut down and eradicated!" Chen Ning said viciously, looking like he couldn't wait to eat Ma Du.

"The action is too big, no matter how clean it is, the emperor will suspect the head of the prime minister!"

"When the judgment continues to suffer from its chaos, Xiangye just let those Japanese people do it, anyway, he and the Japanese people already have a deep hatred, and the emperor suspects that there is no evidence."

"That's it!" Hu Weiyong looked at the steward again, "Hu Kun, you will go back to Dingyuan early tomorrow morning, send more money and food to the villagers, and let them keep their mouths shut." ”

"It's too late at night, Chen Yushi will rest here at Benxiang, and Benxiang will go and order those widows." Hu Weiyong got up and walked out of the study and went straight to the backyard.

I don't know how many houses have been demolished, Hu Weiyong's house is very large, and he is almost in time for the prince's mansion, and he walked for a while to a remote courtyard, and he just stepped into the moon gate and took it back, because he thought of a more suitable person.

Before he turned around, a person came out of the room, although this person was wearing Hanfu in a bun, but his Chinese language was very jerky, "The Prime Minister is here to find me, why are you leaving?"

If Mado is here, he will definitely recognize that this person is not Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's personal samurai, and who is Ninagawa Shinemon!
