Chapter 736: Espionage Case

The espionage case also involved the people in the palace, and Chongzhen's brows suddenly furrowed.

"To put it bluntly, what the hell is going on?" Chongzhen asked in a deep voice. If there are really people in the palace who eat inside and outside, and they are actually spies of the enemy country, then isn't he, the emperor, very dangerous? This matter is really big and should not be underestimated.

"Your Majesty, do you want Gonggong Li to avoid it......" Han Zanzhou glanced at Li Guofu and hesitated. Li Guofu's heart suddenly "thumped", and a great danger surged into his heart.

"No need!" Chongzhen glanced sideways at Li Guofu and directly refused.

"Your Majesty, the protagonist of this matter is Li Guofu Li Gonggong, just yesterday, Dongchang's fan found out that Li Gonggong had secret contact with several people from the north, and also accepted a large amount of money from the other party. After all, the north is now a world full of Tartars, after the slave maid heard the news, he immediately ordered a detailed investigation, and the fans of the East Factory disguised themselves into the inn where the northerners stayed, and after some investigation, it was determined that those people were all Manchurian Tartars!

As the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, he is the person who can be used by His Majesty's side, and he actually contacted the Mantar to accept bribes, so the truth is too big, and the slave and maid will come to see Your Majesty immediately after it is verified. ”

Before Han Zanzhou finished speaking, Li Guofu knelt on the ground with a "poof", "Your Majesty, the slave and maid are wronged, the slave and maid don't know any Manchurian Tartars at all, it is all Han Zanzhou who slanders the slave and the maid, he sees that the slave and the maid are favored by His Majesty and is jealous, so he designs to frame and slander the slave and maid!" The slave and maid are deeply favored by His Majesty, even if they have the courage to do such a thing! ”

"Our family framed you? Li Guofu, our family asks you, did you accept a banquet from a few northerners yesterday, and did they give you a huge sum of 2,000 silver during the banquet? Han Zanzhou asked coldly.

"Yes, they just came from the north and wanted to open a warehouse in Nanjing, because they had no foundation here and were afraid that it would be difficult to gain a foothold, so they found me here, but they are just merchants in the north, not some Tartar work?" Li Guofu raised his neck and stared at Han Zanzhou, at this time he had already come back to his senses, all of this was probably Han Zanzhou's tricks.

"It doesn't matter if you say that it is full of Tartars, after being inspected by Dongchang Fanzi, they have just grown their hair, and after severe interrogation, they have all confessed to the identity of Tartars!" Han Zanzhou sneered.

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid are wronged, the slave and the maid are designed to be framed, you also know that the slave and the maid stay in the palace all day to serve, where is the time to collude with any Tartar, and the status of the slave and the maid is so high and is highly used by Your Majesty, what can the Tartar give to the slave?"

Li Guofu knew that he had fallen for someone else's scheme, and he was afraid that the explanation would not be clear, so he turned around and cried to Chongzhen, hoping that Chongzhen could see through Han Zanzhou's clumsy tricks, as long as Chongzhen believed in himself, everything would be fine.

Of course, Chongzhen can see through Han Zanzhou's plan, this is just a dog-eat-dog matter between the two eunuchs in the inner palace who are fighting for power and power, this kind of thing happens every day in the inner palace and in the court, and Chongzhen has been seen frequently.

Whether it is Li Guofu or Han Zanzhou, they are just the two dogs in front of Chongzhen, and he doesn't care who he trusts more. The reason why Li Guofu was promoted and reused was just because Han Zanzhou was too powerful in the inner palace, and Li Guofu was used as a check. After all, Han Zanzhou used to be the eunuch guarding Nanjing Town, and too many eunuchs in this palace were his people.

Chongzhen didn't believe that Li Guofu would have the audacity to collude with Mantar, because that would be of no benefit to Li Guofu himself, and where could he get the silver? Why bother making such damn money!

So this matter is mostly framed by Han Zanzhou, but although he has seen through this matter, Chongzhen can't cover it up unprincipledly, after all, some things still have to be figured out, Chongzhen doesn't want to be surrounded by Tartar spies.

Just when Chongzhen hesitated, Han Zanzhou's words made Chongzhen make up his mind.

"Your Majesty, there is no trivial matter involving the Manchu Tartars, now that there are frequent wars in Shandong, the Manchus are storming Dengzhou, and some things are well understood."

Mantar, Shandong! Chongzhen was suddenly shocked in his heart, and suddenly remembered that he had ordered someone to go to Shandong to rescue the three princes.

The three princes have not yet been rescued, and if someone really colludes with the Mantars, it will seriously threaten the lives of the three princes.

"Check, be sure to check carefully!" Chongzhen's words made Li Guofu's heart fall into the abyss all of a sudden, and his legs collapsed to the ground.

However, although he was in an impatient mood, Chongzhen did not lose his mind, "The people around me must find out more, and this matter will be handed over to Jinyiwei for detailed investigation." ”

This matter is likely to be caused by Han Zanzhou's East Factory, of course Chongzhen could no longer hand over Li Guofu to the East Factory to investigate, but chose Jinyiwei.

However, the commander of Jinyiwei made Liu Neng to fight on the front line with Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi, and this matter could only be handled by Shen Lian, a thousand households of Jinyiwei who stayed in Nanjing.

As soon as he heard that it was Jinyiwei's person who copied and interrogated him, Li Guofu's heart relaxed slightly, the commander of Jinyiwei was Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi, who had never dealt with Han Zanzhou's Dongchang, and should be able to clear his grievances. And His Majesty handed himself over to Jinyiwei instead of Dongchang, which shows that His Majesty still trusts him.

Jinyiwei also had people on duty in the palace, and soon Li Guofu was escorted down.

Li Guofu was arrested, and Chongzhen couldn't have no people waiting around him, so he sent a decree to order the eunuch Tian Cheng to follow the eunuch Tian Cheng.

Han Zanzhou looked at all this coldly, and only smiled secretly in his heart. All he did before was to try to get Li Guofu away from Chongzhen, and it didn't make any difference whether Li Guofu was handed over to Jinyiwei or Dongchang.

As for Tian Cheng, Han Zan Zhou had already managed to make people drag him down, and he would not be able to come to the Qianqing Palace in a short time.

"You're not gone yet?" Chongzhen glanced at Han Zanzhou, who was standing in the hall, and asked coldly.

Han Zan Zhou pouted and knelt down, "The slave and maid asked Your Majesty for guilt, the reason why Li Guofu was targeted before was not the slave maid's wish, it was really a big thing happened, slave maid, slave maid had to be like that." ”

"Big deal? Tell me, what happened to make the sky fall? Chongzhen looked at Han Zanzhou and sneered. Jiujiang victory, the main force of the Western Thieves was defeated, the rest of the army was fleeing in a hurry, the situation in the Ming Dynasty improved significantly, what could happen?

"Slave maid, slave maid is worried about His Majesty's body, don't dare, don't dare to say it." Han Zanzhou kowtowed heavily and said sadly.

Could it be, is it?

A thought suddenly rose in Chongzhen's heart, Chongzhen staggered back a few steps, sat on the brocade with his buttocks, and his face was completely bloodless.

"Your Majesty, just today, there is news from Shandong, the third prince he, the third prince he ......"
