Chapter 394: Unexpected Account Book
Until he came out of Wang Xijue's mansion, Zhu Changluo didn't tell the truth from the mouth of this old fox, Zhu Changluo believed that with Wang Xijue's understanding and familiarity with the court situation, he must have guessed the identity of the person behind the scenes, but no matter how he did it, Wang Xijue refused to confide in him anymore, but instead played Tai Chi with him.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Wang An came back to report that the officials kneeling outside the Chengtian Gate had dispersed, and Wang Xijue calmly served tea to the guests.
It really made Zhu Changluo very helpless, but he also knew in his heart why Wang Xijue had such an attitude!
Although the officials who detained the Que this time are not big men, they can support Zhou Jiamo and other three-grade officials, even if they are not one of the six ministries and nine kings, I am afraid that the power in the court should not be underestimated, Wang Xijue can calm the turmoil outside Chengtianmen for him, but when it comes to such characters, he must also be cautious, after all, at his point, there are many people watching, and he must be careful when he speaks and does things.
However, he was not in a hurry, because Wang An had already quietly told him that Luo Sigong and Liang Yong had already rushed to the palace to wait, since the other party was so anxious, even such extreme measures as deducting Que had been used, it must be because the factory guards had already mastered something, and he wanted to see what it was that would make them so anxious.
Shou Wangfu.
Zhu Changluo was covered in dust and rushed back to the palace hall, but saw that Luo Sigong and Liang Yongzao were already waiting there, and when he saw Zhu Changluo coming in, he was relieved and hurriedly greeted him, and said.
"I've seen Your Highness!"
Zhu Changluo waved his hand and strode forward to sit on the main seat.
"No need to be polite, let's talk about what's going on outside the Chengtian Gate, right? Why did those people suddenly detain them? ”
"Your Highness, please take a look at this first!"
Luo Sigong and Liang Yong glanced at each other, and then Luo Sigong took out two thick books from his sleeves and handed them to Zhu Changluo, saying.
Zhu Changluo frowned, took the book, opened it, but his expression was abrupt, and his breath was a little unstable, and there were rows of strange words neatly written on it, which were very similar to Mongolian, but Zhu Changluo knew that this was not Mongolian, but another text that he had seen many times in later generations.
Manchu!
If he remembers correctly, the real Manchu was not established until two years later, but Zhu Changluo has always been skeptical of this statement, because in historical records, after Nurhachi gave the order, within a few months, the Manchu script had been fully promoted among the Jurchen tribes, and from this point, he had already begun to prepare for the creation of the Manchu at least a few years ago.
After all, a systematic set of scripts, even if it is based on Mongolian language, it is difficult to complete it without a few years of work!
Over the years, Zhu Changluo has also seen a lot of Mongolian national books, which are very similar to Mongolian, but if you distinguish them carefully, there are still a lot of differences, but the content is difficult for Zhu Changluo to understand, after all, he is not studying this.
But it didn't matter, because he could vaguely guess from the way it was written, what it was......
Books!
After a long time, Zhu Changluo let out a long sigh of relief, stared at the two people below, and asked in a deep voice.
"Where did this thing come from?"
I can't help but be frightened, if I guessed correctly, this thing in his hand is the source of this deduction, with this thing in hand, it will be much easier for him to act in the future.
"Back to Your Highness, the day before yesterday, I was ordered by His Highness to investigate the officials and gentry in the capital who were connected with the Jurchen Ministries, and found that the most related to them in the capital were the businessmen, because His Highness had instructed that the investigation of officials should be kept low for the time being, so I focused on the businessmen."
"In the end, I found that there were several merchants' semicolons, and they had been secretly in contact with the Jianzhou Jurchens for a long time, and then I interrogated the officials in charge of entering and exiting taxes overnight, and found that these merchants often carried prohibited things such as salt and iron, but the strange thing is that the business of these merchants in Beijing has been tepid, and after Commander Luo discussed with our family at that time, he decided to act separately and control these people first!"
"This thing that looks like an account book, it was found in the home of a concubine surnamed Fan, and it was very secretive, if it wasn't for Commander Luo personally leading the team, it would have almost been missed, and after finding this thing, Commander Luo felt that it was wrong, so he checked the various residences of these merchants again, and found another account book in the home of another merchant surnamed Huang......"
Liang Yong arched his hand and said slowly.
This time he served Luo Sigong, you must know that at that time, Luo Sigong wanted to personally lead the team to arrest people, and he also felt that it was a big fuss, and a few businessmen were worth Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, to go in person? It's like killing chickens with a knife!
But it turns out that he was negligent, the secret compartment hidden in this account book is under the bed of the merchant surnamed Fan and the concubine, and the mechanism opened is also very inconspicuous.
However, Luo Sigong was very calm, arched his hand and continued.
"Your Royal Highness, the minister has studied Mongolian before, so he can recognize some of the words, and can recognize that these two books are the account books of the businessman surnamed Fan who bribed officials in Beijing, so he did not dare to delay, and continued to check all the merchants surnamed Fan and Huang merchants who were involved overnight, and temporarily detained them in the edict prison, and wanted to report to His Highness after dawn, but when he arrived at the palace, His Royal Highness had left, and the ministers received news that there were officials outside the Chengtian Gate who had detained and impeached us and other civilians, and knew that this account book must be a very important thing. He immediately sent someone to find His Highness and came back......"
Zhu Changluo nodded and said approvingly.
"Yes, if it weren't for the fact that this account book had touched the sore spot of you, with the speed of the factory guards, how would those officials who had detained the money get the news overnight? Wang An, go to Honglu Temple immediately, find a few people who are proficient in Mongolian to come over, be quick! ”
The top priority is to translate all the things in this account book, although the Manchu and Mongolian are very different, but the text used on it is obviously not the mature Manchu in the future, and it is true that no one in the Ming Dynasty knows the Manchu language, but the Ming Dynasty has dealt with Mongolia for many years, and there are not a few people who are proficient in Mongolian.
Unexpectedly, Luo Sigong took a step forward and said.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid that someone will obstruct you when you go to Honglu Temple, so it's better to let the minister and the king flatter go together!"
Since the other party is so alert, he can organize people to detain the money overnight, and he will definitely think of translating the account books, Wang An goes alone, I am afraid that it will be difficult to bring people back, but with Jinyiwei, it is different, after all, Jinyiwei now still has the right to act cheaply from the emperor!
"Okay, Commander Luo, let's go! If you are intercepted, don't worry about him, just bring someone back, and the king will bear it if something happens! ”
Zhu Changluo is also a person with a clear mind, and after a little hesitation, he spoke.
