Wang Chengen thanked him, he was very grateful to Zhu Youzhen in his heart, and even secretly prayed more than once that if he could ensure His Majesty Zhu Youzhen's longevity, he voluntarily gave up all his yang life.

This is not only because Wang Chengen is loyal, but also because Zhu Youzhen always treats him much more kindly than others.

Sometimes, Wang Chengen himself feels strange, His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youzhen seems to have always regarded him as a relative, telling him everything, telling him, and even taking the initiative to care about himself every time, and he has to express his apologies because he summoned himself on such a hot day.

Wang Chengen didn't know what he had done to make His Majesty Zhu Youzhen so kind to him, and even trusted.

Xia Yongde, who was likely to murder His Majesty last time, was Wang Chengen's godson, Wang Chengen thought that after the Xia Yongde incident, he would fall out of favor and be removed from the important post of Admiral of Dongchang by His Majesty.

But what Wang Chengen didn't expect was that His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youzhen didn't say anything, not even half a sentence to reproach himself, and sometimes although he would show emotions in front of himself, it was more like a person's true performance in front of his relatives.

Wang Chengen didn't know how he could make His Majesty trust him so much.

At this moment, when His Majesty the Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen said that the safety of himself, the emperor and the whole world, was in his hands, Wang Chengen suddenly felt that the wet handkerchief on his hand weighed a thousand catties.

Wang Chengen knew what his majesty was afraid of, he nodded solemnly, and couldn't help but secretly swear that he would rather accumulate the sins of his own body than keep his majesty safe, and what if he killed three thousand by mistake, he would rather go to eighteen layers of hell according to his majesty's affection for himself!

Zhu Youzhen didn't know Wang Chengen's inner activities at the moment, he saw that Wang Chengen's thick eyebrows were tightly locked, and the wet handkerchief was squeezed out of the water by him, and fell to the ground with a click, so he thought that Wang Chengen might just be under pressure and didn't know where to start.

Although Wang Chengen didn't know why Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen trusted him so much, Zhu Youzhen himself was clear, for no other reason, in the original history, Wang Chengen was the person who hanged himself with him, the so-called wind knows the strength of the grass, the bandang knows the Chengchen, and the eunuch who hangs himself with him at the most critical moment will naturally have to believe it.

It is precisely because of this that although Zhu Youzhen knows that Wang Chengen is not very good at figuring out people's hearts and discerning interests, he still wants Wang Chengen to take charge of the East Factory and act as his eyes, and only Wang Chengen can be trusted.

Zhu Youzhen saw that Wang Chengen didn't speak for a while, so he personally mentioned it: "In recent days, it seems to be calm, but there are a few things that can be pondered, such as the assassination of Yin Wu Jiayin in Songjiang Mansion, which has not yet been resolved, as well as the case of Xia Yongde's sudden death in the Imperial Prison, as well as the drowning incident of the first trial case in Wuxi and the murder of the student Wei Dawei in Songjiang, these things seem to be unrelated, but they all have one thing in common, they all died unexpectedly!" And where are there so many bold people who killed the prefect first and then the living, and even killed the young eunuch Xia Yongde in the edict prison? And Wei Dawei and the drowning case are born in Wuxi, and the time of death is not far apart, does this mean that there is any connection between the deaths of the two, don't look at these things are not related on the surface, but it is likely that there are many mysteries hidden. ”

"If these people dare to kill people with status so unscrupulously, do they dare to kill you, or even kill me?"

As soon as Zhu Youzhen said this, Wang Chengen also began to realize that there were indeed a lot of big cases that seemed to be unrelated but seemed to be hidden in the Jiangnan territory, which seemed to be unrelated, but seemed to be hidden one by one, and he was not unprovoked as the governor of Dongchang, although Wu Jiayin was not afraid of the powerful, but there was no political enemy in the court who wanted to put him to death, Xia Yongde had nothing to do with the edict of the Dongchang system, and the two members of the family were also reported to be people of good character, and they had no enemies.

"Now that the Jiannu Qing army is about to move south, once again plotting against half of my Ming Dynasty, and some disloyal and unrighteous people in the country are inevitably ready to move, especially some scholars and doctors who are based on the world's business interests, they can do everything, but I, as the lord of the world, can only ease the contradiction as much as possible, but you are different, you are the commander of Dongchang, you have to do the work of the knife, you don't be a villain, you can only let me be a villain."

As soon as Zhu Youzhen said this, Wang Chengen naturally understood what he meant: "The slave understands, please rest assured, Your Majesty!" ”

Wang Chengen now understands what he should do, when he left the Qianqing Palace, he still couldn't help but glance back at the Qianqing Palace, he didn't know if he would one day end up like the first assistant Fan Jingwen who was about to be abandoned by His Majesty, and even kill him to appease the anger of the gentry.

But he knew that for the sake of His Majesty's safety and great cause, he had to be such a wicked person.

Wang Chengen smiled sadly, clenched his fists very tightly, and then came to the Dongji Factory with a frosty face, and immediately re-read the several cases mentioned by Zhu Youzhen, who was the murderer of Wu Jiayin's case, because the squire of Songjiang Mansion was killed six or seven times out of ten, and those who had contact with Wu Jiayin were strictly interrogated by Dongchang and did not find a flaw; As for Xia Yongde, the Dongchang soldiers who were on duty on the day of Xia Yongde's detention were all passively punished, but they didn't get anything until they breathed.

And only the death of the two living members seems to be traceable, and at this time, it just so happened that Wang Chengen also got some information through the report of the first East Factory.

"Are you saying that Tang Ying and Wei Dawei's classmates said that they had a dispute with Gu Lin, the founder of the Duan Literature Society, before, as if they refused to join the Duan Literature Society, in addition to this matter, did Tang Ying and Wei Dawei have any conflicts with other people about other things?"

Wang Chengen asked directly.

"No, according to the Tang Ying people, Tang Ying has always had a modest personality, and is blindly good at reading, and rarely has contact with people; Although Wei Dawei has many friends, they all say that he has an excellent personality and has never had a quarrel with others. ”

After answering this sentence, Wang Chengen couldn't help but fall into deep thought: "Since this is the case, if the death of Tang Ying is related to the death of Wei Dawei, and Tang Ying was not drowned but killed, then the death of the two can only be related to Gu Lin of this end of the literary society?" ”

Without waiting for the Dongchang campaign to finish, Wang Chengen immediately ordered the arrest of Gu Lin in the edict prison and prepared for strict interrogation.

At this time, a supervisor of the East Factory couldn't help but persuade: "Father-in-law, this Gu Lin is an extraordinary student, he is the queen of Gu Duanwen, and he has a lot of prestige in Shilin, and his newly established Duanwen Society is also quite influential, many members of the DPRK and the Central Committee have dealings with him, if we move him, I am afraid that it will be easy to attract criticism from the government and the opposition." ”

"You mean that the Duanwen Society also has dealings with the members of the DPRK and China?"

Wang Chengen suddenly asked, and the head of the East Factory nodded.

"Then you have to catch it even more! Once these cultural and social societies have dealings with senior officials of the DPRK and China, they are suspected of interfering in political affairs, and how can they be spared! ”

Wang Chengen shouted angrily directly.
