After a little interrogation, the king of the East China Sea felt that he had to send Ma Mu to the emperor immediately, and there was too much information contained in a few short confessions, and the Donghai Kingdom, the Yan family, the Cui family, and so on were all implicated, and he didn't want to be suspected of inducing confessions. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The assassin was first taken to see Cai Xinghai, who was also taken aback, and after a little inquiry, he also felt that he should report it to the emperor immediately, so he entered the mansion late at night and knocked on the door.

Han Ruzi dressed and was escorted by a group of guards and soldiers to the front hall, where the Assassin was not brought in for safety, but was imprisoned in the next quarter, where the King of the East China Sea waited, told the cause and effect, and gave all the credit to the mad monk Guangding.

Han Ruzi was surprised by the efficiency of the East China Sea King, and was even more surprised by Guangding's willingness to help, and had more contact with the people in the rivers and lakes, and felt that it was normal for the mad monk to say goodbye.

After listening to the words of the King of the East China Sea, Han Ruzi thought for a while and asked, "Did that Ma Mu say 'even the emperor has our people by his side', or did he say 'the emperor will have our people by his side'?" ”

This sentence was told by the thief to Guangding, and Guangding then told the king of the East China Sea, the assassin Ma Mu did not confess directly, the king of the East China Sea was stunned, the difference between one word and the meaning was very different, "This...... I'll ask again. ”

"Who is the thief who delivers the message to the light top? Can you find it? ”

"This ...... Guangding didn't say. The King of the East China Sea began to sweat on his forehead, he thought that the emperor would immediately investigate the relationship between the assassins and the Yan family and the Cui family, but he didn't expect the emperor to care more about the source and accuracy of the news.

Interrogation is a skill, the torturers are usually more professional than the ordinary officials, Han Ruzi lacks such a person around him, the original torturers of the government have not gained his trust, Zhang Jing, a director of the criminal department, once went out on patrol with the car, and died in the battle in Jincheng, and the emperor was even more unavailable.

"Bring the Assassins." Han Ruzi wanted to interrogate him personally.

The king of the East China Sea and Cai Xinghai advised at the same time, for different reasons, Cai Xinghai thought that it was an assassin after all, and if he struggled to the death, he might disturb His Majesty, while the king of the East China Sea thought that the Son of Heaven had done something and personally interrogated an ordinary official and a warlock, which was not good to say.

There were many guards and eunuchs in the hall, Han Ruzi was thinking about who should interrogate the assassin instead of him, and even thought of Jing Zhaoyin's judicial army Lian Danchen, and was hesitating, Jin Chunzhong squeezed over from the crowd, "Your Majesty, let me interrogate the prisoner." ”

Han Ruzi hesitated even more, although Jin Chunzhong was a Huns, he was born in Dachu and grew up in the Guiyi Marquis Mansion since he was a child.

"It's late at night, it's hard to find someone, and if I'm not suitable, it's too late to change someone tomorrow." Kim added.

Jin Chunzhong is relatively calm, and he will not recommend himself easily if he can't do it, Han Ruzi thought of this and said, "It's okay, you and the King of the East China Sea will interrogate again." ”

When they walked out of the Tired Marquis Mansion, the King of the East China Sea smiled at Jin Chunzhong and said, "I didn't expect Brother Jin to understand this kind of thing." ”

"It's hard to be." Jin Chunzhong also smiled.

When he arrived at the door of the next house, the King of the East China Sea gave his hand again, "I haven't congratulated Brother Jin yet." ”

"Congratulations on what?" Jin Chunzhong asked in surprise.

"It is rumored that Jin Guifei is happy outside the Saiwai, and it is very likely that the eldest son will be born for His Majesty, with this son, Jin Guifei can return to Beijing, and Brother Jin can also rise to prominence."

Jin Chunzhong was even more confused, "Where did the rumors come from?" My sister has never been in contact with Da Chu outside the Saiwai, and she has no correspondence with His Majesty, and ...... Where the hell did the rumors come from? ”

The King of the East China Sea looked embarrassed, "That's what everyone is talking about, Brother Jin is not strange." ”

The King of the East China Sea went over, and it wasn't until after entering the mansion that Jin Chunzhong understood that the King of the East China Sea was deliberately setting his own words, and he felt funny in his heart.

In the Tired Marquis Mansion, Cai Xinghai strengthened the guards, and no one else, including the eunuchs and the guards, could not enter the back house at will to approach the emperor, even so, he was still not at ease, the sentence "The emperor has our people around him" made him deeply uneasy, but he had an official position and could not casually exceed the rules, so he found Wang He, the leader of the guards, and went to see the emperor together.

"Before all the assassins were caught, did Your Majesty think about going back to the palace for a while?" Cai Xinghai spoke first.

"There are many people in the palace, and it may not be safer than the Tired Marquis Mansion." Han Ruzi was not so nervous.

"Then can Your Majesty be ...... recently? Rare for some people? Cai Xinghai made another suggestion.

"You're worried about the Assassins getting inside?"

"It's not impossible."

"This Ma Mu was originally a warlock in the rivers and lakes, and he mixed into the Prime Minister's Mansion as an official a year ago...... Han Ruzi's heart moved, he was not the emperor a year ago, what did Ma Mu use his pseudonym as an official? He continued: "It shows that the officials of the imperial court are credible, Yun Mengze can't buy it, so he can only send someone to infiltrate." ”

Cai Xinghai had nothing to say, looked at Wang He, Wang He stepped forward and said: "The officials are credible, but the people around the officials may not, I hope Your Majesty will give us a little time to investigate the people around the people who entered the mansion, if there is no problem, Your Majesty will not be too late to see you again, and we will also reduce a little burden." ”

Cai Xinghai nodded again and again.

Han Ruzi thought for a while, "Okay, I'll give you three days first, I'll give you a list, first investigate a few people who often enter the mansion, and the others will talk slowly." ”

Han Ruzi first wrote down the names of several noble children and scholars who often entered the mansion and even lived in the mansion, and handed them to Cai Xinghai.

Cai Xinghai and Wang He said goodbye, and when they got outside, Cai Xinghai glanced at the list and said, "Who to start with?" ”

Wang He said: "Start with you and me. ”

Cai Xinghai was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said with a smile: "Okay, you investigate me, I investigate you, then our subordinates, followed by the King of the East China Sea and Cui Teng, and then these people." He shook the paper in his hand.

"Especially the people under me, please General Cai to investigate carefully." Wang He admonished.

Cai Xinghai didn't feel surprised this time, he knew who Wang He's so-called "subordinates" were, Wang He, as the leader of the guards, was not easy to investigate personally, so he had to rely on outsiders.

"I hope our judgment is wrong." Cai Xinghai said, surrendering his hand.

The interrogation will not be too fast, Han Ruzi returned to the bedroom, Concubine Deng Yun had already fallen asleep, snoring slightly, she didn't care about anything, she just wanted to have a son and lay the foundation for the Deng family's comeback.

Han Ruzi lay down, not particularly concerned about the assassin, and was still thinking about Zhao Ruosu's words: Using the rules of the court to transform the court is the most stable although it takes time and effort. He understood the reason, but he didn't know exactly how to start, thinking that he had boasted to Meng E that he had mastered the art of the emperor, he couldn't help but blush a little.

On the morning of the next day, Han Ruzi assigned tasks to the prime minister and others in the Qinzheng Palace, asking them to formulate an overall strategy against the Xiongnu as soon as possible.

Compared with the Xiongnu, Yun Mengze and the bandits of the East China Sea are only a small trouble, so far, the emperor has only sent generals to guard the frontier, hoping that after Da Chu recovers a certain strength, he can fight with the Huns, and there is no more detailed plan, and he has not even begun to discuss this matter.

The emperor entrusted such an important task to the minister, and the prime minister Shen Mingzhi and others were taken aback, but at the same time relieved, this means trust after all.

According to the usual practice, the first step for the imperial court to solve the problem is not to discuss the problem itself, but to find the most suitable person to discuss the problem, the general Cui Hong has been recuperating at home after returning to Beijing, at this time it is logical to be invited back to the Qinzheng Palace to participate in the deliberations, followed by a set of procedures, issuing holy decrees, collecting notes, sorting and selecting the best, and other paperwork, enough for the entire imperial court to be busy for several months.

At the same time, Han Ruzi invited a minister to go to the Tihou Mansion, so that the emperor's decision could be immediately transmitted to the Qinzheng Palace, instead of being discussed the next day.

This is even more of a privilege, the prime minister affirmed that he did not dare to take it alone, and suggested that the ministers of parliament should take turns to go to the Tihou Mansion, each for ten days, and the prime minister himself could not go, and the first person he proposed was Feng Ju, the secretary of the ministry.

The matter was settled, the emperor made a little compromise to the minister, just like a person who got a new sword for the first time, Han Ruzi had to try to swing twice, try the weight, and then practice the routine, and finally be able to be handy and kill the enemy with a blade.

At noon, when I returned to the Tired Marquis Mansion, Jin Chunzhong's trial was already on the desk.

Han Ruzi watched while eating, and was quite surprised, Jin Chunzhong's questions were rigorous, the records were detailed, and he had the demeanor of an old official, he had this kind of ability, but he had not revealed it before.

Ma Mu was very tough at the beginning, although it was omitted from the file, Han Ruzi could still see that this fortune teller said a lot of curses, but after some torture, he still recruited.

He didn't know how many assassins Luan Banxiong had sent, but there was only one person who connected with him, disguised as a merchant and mixed in with the debt collection team, under the pseudonym "Yunxiong", and his real name was unknown.

He did say the phrase "the emperor has our people by his side", but he heard it from Yun Mengze Holy Military Division, and he said it purely to appease the other party at that time, as for whether it was "already there" or "will be", he didn't know.

Regarding Ma Mu's question about being an official a year ago, Jin Chunzhong also asked, it turned out that Yun Mengze's original target was not the emperor, but the Donghai Kingdom, Ma Mu's task was to assist in the assassination of the Prime Minister Yan Kang's family when necessary, but the rebellion failed too quickly, and the Donghai Kingdom was not the main force to quell the rebellion, so he stayed and never been exposed, and even gained the trust of the Yan family's father and son.

The "Cui family" in his mouth is indeed Taifu Cui Hong's family, but that is only because Yan Pengshi borrowed Cui's mansion, and it has no other meaning.

Jin Chunzhong used different methods of questioning and interrogation to confirm that Ma Mu was not lying temporarily, and there were many people involved in the testimony, except for the businessman Yunxiong who wanted to be arrested as soon as possible, Jin Chunzhong did not dare to call the shots of others, and at the end of the file, he asked who could be called to testify.

Han Ruzi was very satisfied, it was not that the Yun Mengze assassin finally leaked out, but that he had found such a usable person as Jin Chunzhong.

The Cui family has little to do with this, Han Ruzi circled the names of Cui Hong's father and son, and the rest of the people were summoned by Jin Chunzhong, although Yan Pengshi was also a high-ranking official, but Ma Mu was brought by him after all, and the situation must be explained.

Han Ruzi wanted to let Jin Chunzhong go to investigate immediately, but after thinking about it, he pressed the file again, he had to seal Jin Chunzhong an official position before he could be sent to investigate the case, which was also the rule of the imperial court, as the emperor, he should abide by it.

Feng Ju, the secretary of the ministry, came to the Tihou Mansion that afternoon, but did not see a few people, Cai Xinghai and Wang He were investigating the backgrounds of each person and his entourage, and most of them were not allowed to enter the mansion.

In the evening of that day, Cai Xinghai sent the first report, and the person at the front of the line was the guard Meng E.

The report is as concise as possible, without judgment, Meng E's origins and behaviors are listed one by one, most of which are not secrets to the emperor, and at the end, Cai Xinghai wrote a line in a broad pen: On the seventh day of October and the eleventh day of October, Meng E left the house twice in the evening, and returned the next morning, and did not know where to go.
