Looking at Yang Rong's anxious expression, Zhu Changluo suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The lord of affection thought that he had called him over to investigate that he had ever received money from others?

However, Yang Rong's words also reminded Zhu Changluo that he only noticed Zheng Qingshan's power at the top, but did not take into account the local power, there is no doubt that Zheng Qingshan has such a big reputation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, not just relying on the big signboard of the Zheng family.

Maybe relying on this signboard can ensure that nothing will happen to him, but the officials and magistrates at the bottom are not easy to deal with, Zheng Qingshan has been able to exist safely and steadily for so many years, and there is no doubt that he has a huge network of relationships that open the way through money.

Coughing lightly, Zhu Changluo's face did not show anything, and said lightly.

"So, you're on good terms, aren't you?"

It was only at this moment that Zhu Changluo reacted, Yang Rong was not one of the mining tax eunuchs who was sent out to collect mining tax and silver, and it seemed that he was also in charge of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

However, although Zhu Changluo's tone was indifferent, it instantly made a layer of cold sweat break out on Yang Rong's forehead.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the slave and maid do have some friendship with him, but the friendship is not very good, just because the slave and maid were entrusted by someone to relieve him of the siege, he has to thank him, and the slave and maid can't refuse, so he ......"

Entrusted by someone?

When it came to business, Zhu Changluo's face instantly became serious and said.

"Be clear! Who has entrusted him and what has he done for him? ”

Yang Rong didn't know what Zhu Changluo meant, although he was trembling in his heart, he didn't dare to hide it, and swallowed his saliva.

"It was entrusted by Zhang Cheng and Zhang's father-in-law......"

Zhang Cheng?

Zhu Changluo frowned, feeling that things were getting more and more complicated.

There is no doubt that Yang Rong is the mine tax eunuch who put pressure on the local government for Zheng Qingshan to relieve the siege, but according to Fang Congzhe, Yang Rong was under the banner of Tian Yi at that time, why did he become Zhang Cheng again?

With a cold snort, Zhu Changluo said.

"But this king heard that when you relieved the siege of Zheng Qingshan, you said that it was the current Nanjing celebrant who was in charge of Yin Tian Yigong's meaning, yes or no?"

The sweat on Yang Rong's forehead became more and more, and he hurriedly kowtowed and said.

"Your Royal Highness, this matter was indeed under the banner of Father-in-law Tian Yi, but in fact it was the meaning of Father-in-law Zhang Cheng, such a big thing, if you borrow the courage of the slave maid, the slave and maid will not dare to deceive Your Highness!"

Zhu Changluo frowned and looked at Yang Rong, but he was waiting for his explanation.

Seeing this, Yang Rong calmed down slightly and continued.

"At the beginning, the slave maid went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to collect mining taxes, but as soon as he arrived in Changlu, he heard that the local prefect had arrested a smuggler of salt, and the matter was nothing to do with the slave and maid, but how long did the slave and maid receive news from Beijing, saying that the slave and maid must keep this Zheng Qingshan!"

"Who's coming from the news?"

Zhu Changluo asked tightly.

"It's Sun Xian! But the slave maid knew that he was also a messenger, and it was Zhang Cheng who really wanted to save Zheng Qingshan! ”

Sun Xian and Zhang Cheng were wearing a pair of pants, which is not surprising, but it is still the same sentence, how did this matter get involved with Tian Yi again......

Yang Rong also seemed to see Zhu Changluo's doubts and opened his mouth to explain.

"Your Royal Highness doesn't know, in the early years of Father-in-law Tian Yi, he once owed Zhang Cheng a favor, and Zhang Cheng was not easy to come forward in this matter, so he borrowed Tian Yi's name to do it, but it was just a name, Tian Yi's father-in-law and this Zheng Qingshan actually have nothing to do with it!"

This is very understandable, Zhang Cheng was already a eunuch with the seal of the master of ceremonies at that time, and his every move would be noticed by the government and the opposition.

If he blatantly protects such a smuggler of salt, it will inevitably make people doubt the relationship between them, and if he attracts the attention of the courtiers to Zheng Qingshan, it will be self-defeating, while Tian Yi is relatively low-key.

In addition, Tian Yi's reputation in the government and the opposition has always been very good, and no one will suspect that he is trying to cover up lawlessness.

"Alright, you go down first!"

Zhu Changluo's brows stretched slightly, and he waved his hand.

Yang Rong is not deeply involved in this matter, I am afraid he knows so much.

Yang Rong was apprehensive in his heart, but he still bowed and bowed, retreated, and as soon as he went out, he found that his back was already soaked......

In the main hall, Yang Rong was sent away, but Zhu Changluo's brows were still twisted.

"Your Highness, since this matter does not involve Father-in-law Tian Yi, isn't it a good thing?"

Looking at Zhu Changluo's expression, Wang An couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Changluo sighed, got up and paced back and forth.

"It's a good thing, but it's not a good thing!"

Wang An was a little confused for a moment, and Zhu Changluo continued.

"It's naturally good not to involve Tian Yi, after all, Tian Yi is the emperor's cronies, and it's not easy to move him, but according to what Yang Rong said, Zheng Qingshan's backers in the Chaozhong Palace are nothing more than two, Zheng and Zhang Cheng, but now these two are already declining, and the Zheng family has also declined, how can Zheng Qingshan stand tall and still be so arrogant!"

You must know that framing Yushi is not something that anyone dares to do, not to mention that now Zhang Cheng and Zheng's family have fallen, but those magistrates still look like they are afraid of it, and they dare not provoke Zheng Qingshan, which shows that this person's background is by no means as simple as it seems, and he must have another backer in the capital.

Originally, Zhu Changluo thought that this person would be Tian Yi, but what Yang Rong said just now denied his speculation.

And so far, there is no evidence to prove that Zheng Qingshan has always had a relationship with Wen Chun or Shen, but all signs show that the relationship between them is by no means as simple as it seems.

There's really a lot to figure out......

"It seems that this king needs to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate in person!"

Zhu Changluo looked outside and seemed to mumble to himself.

However, Wang An behind him was still standing in place, as if he had something to say, but he didn't know whether to ask or not, Zhu Changluo suddenly frowned and spoke.

"If you have something to say, say it!"

Wang An hesitated for a moment and stepped forward.

"Your Royal Highness, when Father-in-law Liang sent the news, he also sent another news, saying that the emperor had issued an order to take the Zheng family out of the cold palace and seal the concubine Niangniang, Xiao ...... Miss Qiu also followed out of the cold palace, and Gonggong Liang asked if he needed to look for Miss Qiu again......"

Zhu Changluo had a headache, after all, he still came, although Zheng's reset was a matter of time or time, he didn't expect it so early, and Xiaoqiu had no news since a poem came that day, Liang Yong tried to contact her, but Xiaoqiu refused to meet him, I really don't know what this girl is thinking.

After thinking for a moment, a complicated look flashed in Zhu Changluo's eyes, and he said.

"Let her go, let Liang Yong stand still for the time being!"

"Yes......"

Wang An didn't say anything more and retired to do things.
