The reason for this......

Tian Ergeng: "......"

Zhou Zhenggang: "......"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse felt that it made sense.

Zhang Jingyi was wronged.

Just because the official was small, he was bullied by the commanders and servants above.

But now is not the time to worry about that.

That Zhang Shun seemed to have been waiting outside for a long time, and the guards at the door still felt strange, why did this Admiral always probe his brain like a thief here today.

As a result, His Majesty summoned him, and as soon as the little eunuch here came out, he met Zhang Shun head-on.

Zhang Shun exhaled deeply, and then hurried in.

"Slave maid...... I've seen Your Majesty......"

"You are Zhang Shun......"

Zhang Shun wanted to cry...... This sentence...... His Majesty seems to have spoken to him many times.

The tragedy is that every time His Majesty learns that he is Zhang Shun, he turns his head and forgets about it.

But he can't complain and complain at this time.

Thinking about it, it's better to be a godfather, and the godfather will always remember him.

Zhang Shun said: "Yes, the slave is Zhang Shun." ”

Seeing that he was still answering correctly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but nod: "Last night, you went to Shangshan Prison?" ”

"Exactly." Zhang Shun said: "The slave maid heard about it...... After hearing the orders of the new county marquis, I thought in my heart that this is a big deal, and it is about a thief who wants to poison His Majesty, so the slave and maid dared to gather some people who have a good relationship on weekdays in this palace, and sneaked into the Shangshan Prison that night, and found the eunuch Zhao Jing, who was the seal of the Shangshan Supervisor. The new county marquis explained like this, there may be a lot of people in Shangshan Prison who can poison His Majesty, but he can quietly kill Liu Wu, and the people who can still poison him are full of calculations, just one or two, Zhao Jing is the most suspicious, he is a palm seal eunuch, and it is convenient to do things. ”

"So, the slave maid and the maid went to Zhao Jing's residence overnight, first took him, and then forced him to ask the truth, and found something in his house......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, who was kneeling on the side, looked like he didn't care about it on his face, but his body couldn't help but tremble.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said coldly: "What about Zhao Jingren? ”

"It's under control, and the slave will bring him up."

Zhang Shun seemed to have been prepared, and he flew out, and soon together with several eunuchs, he escorted this Zhao Jing up.

This Zhao Jing had a blue nose and swollen face, and he was beaten when he saw it.

At this time, he was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body and trembled.

Zhang Shun said to Zhao Jing: "Do you recognize Cheng Guogong?" ”

"No...... I don't know. Zhao Jing replied subconsciously.

"If you don't know, then how did you get the gold in your house?" After saying that, Zhang Shun took out the gold nuggets at once, and then said to the Emperor of the Apocalypse: "Your Majesty, this gold ...... They were all searched from his room, and your Majesty was invited to take a look. ”

The gold was delivered to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

In fact, this era ...... Gold is a precious metal and naturally has a lot of value.

However, many families, after obtaining gold, often re-smelt it for storage or as a gift, and then pour it down.

For example, at the moment, the gold in the hands of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, although it is also in the form of gold ingots, is obviously not from the official, but from the private system, and under this gold, there is also the mark of the Chengguo Mansion.

This kind of private gold is actually very common.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded, looked at Zhao Jing and said, "Zhao Jing, this gold, but it was given to you by the Duke of Chengguo?" ”

Zhao Jing was already frightened, first said yes, and then shook his head like a rattle, and said no.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said angrily: "Is it or not? ”

Zhao Jing was so frightened that he was about to faint, so he prostrate on the hall and didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, his face changed slightly.

In fact, these golds were not sent this time, and a fool would send the gold of the Chengguo Mansion at this juncture.

This is all used to buy Zhao Jing in the past, who knows, this guy is still hiding in the palace like a baby.

Zhao Jing was almost distraught, and stammered: "No...... No, Your Majesty...... Be...... It is commercially available. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse sneered: "This is strange, are you going out and circulating such a large ingot of gold?" ”

Zhang Jingyi said at this time: "Your Majesty, in fact, the minister has checked, this Zhao Jing ...... Outside, there is a wife who eats the food, and two brothers, his parents are still alive, and he even adopted a nephew as his son...... Your Majesty...... This person suddenly had so much gold of unknown origin that it was already a great crime, and the minister suggested that since he refused to say it, then he would simply cut this person with a thousand knives immediately, and as for his relatives who had come to the capital to enjoy happiness, they would all be killed, and then his outer house outside the palace would be raided, and all of them would be confiscated. ”

When Zhao Jing heard this, his eyes darkened with fright, and he immediately said in horror: "Spare your life." ”

"If you want to die a happy death, tell the truth!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse immediately understood Zhang Jingyi's thoughts, and said, "If not, I will deal with it according to Zhang Qing's words." ”

"Say...... I said......" Zhao Jing trembled and said, "Slave maid...... Slave maid ...... on weekdays ...... on weekdays"

Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhu Chunchen cautiously, and Zhu Chunchen's face was already iron-blue.

Zhao Jing continued: "The slave maid received a lot of favors from Cheng Guogong on weekdays, and several brothers of the slave maid, as well as his step-son, also got a good job in the capital because of Cheng Guogong. A few days ago, someone found the slave and asked the slave to ...... If they do something, how dare the slaves and maids, but they are so good at saying that if the slaves and maids don't do it, the relatives outside will die. Also said...... The scapegoat had already been thought of for this matter, and the slave maid felt that this matter was ...... It's safe, but in the end, it may not be able to find the head of the slave and maid...... So the slave and maid ate the lard and blinded their hearts......"

"So to speak." When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, he was already furious: "Is it really the Duke of Chengguo? ”

Zhao Jing was prostrate on the ground, already drowning in fright, and he cried: "Yes...... It's ......"

Hearing this word, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, didn't react yet, and seemed to be still forcibly calming down.

Zhou Zhenggang, who was kneeling on the side, was already shivering, and his face was as frightened as earth.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was furious, and the whole person shot up, and then stared at Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, and said sharply: "Zhu Chunchen, you are so bold." ”

"Your Majesty......" Zhu Chunchen pretended to be calm and said, "Even if it's just a eunuch...... How can you believe what he says? Does Your Majesty believe only in a eunuch and not in a minister? This Zhao Jing framed the ministers, he really deserved to die, and I implore Your Majesty to immediately cut this person with a thousand knives to set an example. ”

Until now, Zhu Chunchen's face still couldn't see a little panic.

I have to say that Zhu Chunchen's mental quality is indeed extremely strong.

But Zhang Jingyi knew that in fact, this person was afraid that he would have panicked a long time ago.

As soon as he heard that Zhu Chunchen was going to cut himself with a thousand knives, Zhao Jing at this time knew that he couldn't live, so he sneered: "Cheng Guogong, you are so vicious, you tried your best to pull us into the water, and now you still want us to die?" You...... You...... The person sent to contact us is Zhu Yan from your house. In addition to this, there is your family's gold in my outer house. Do you want to get rid of us now? Scold...... Hehe...... Aren't you too late, we all know about you...... How do you deny ......"

Zhu Chunchen closed his eyes, revealing a little depressed, and then, he opened his eyes and still said, "Your Majesty, can you believe such a person?" ”

At this time, someone said: "But there is another thing, I don't know how to explain it to Cheng Guogong?" ”

This abrupt remark immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone looked at the source of the voice, but it was Deng Jian, who came with Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo.

Deng Jian was complacent at this time, he was a little floating, and at this time he couldn't help but admire the foresight of his father, and sure enough, ...... It's right to marry a wife later, on my terms...... In the future, if you can be right, at least it should be a Houmen.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said with some eagerness: "What else, you say." ”

Deng Jian stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have raided the Chengguo Mansion and found a secret room, don't you ...... It's not right to say that it is a secret room, this Cheng Guogong has almost hollowed out the underground of his house, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dungeon, and what is hidden underground...... It's countless gold and silver, so much gold and silver, and the minister has seen some people in the world, but his scalp is numb when he sees it. The minister is still asking people to count, how much gold and silver is there...... I don't dare to assert it for the time being, but ...... The minister dared to say that even if he was the prince of the country and had accumulated more than ten generations of wealth, even if the people of their Zhu family were corrupt and perverted the law for generations, they would never be able to be greedy for such huge wealth. ”

Speaking of this, Deng Jian turned his eyes and looked at Zhu Chunchen and said, "Chengguo Gong, let me ask you, where did all this gold and silver come from?" ”

Zhu Chunchen couldn't help but close his eyes in pain.

I don't know if it was because of the loss of his gold and silver, or because he was bitter because he couldn't deny his heinous crimes, his face was getting paler and paler, but he was silent.

To this day......

In fact, it can't be explained at all.

In this era, I don't tell you about the inference of innocence.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse actually understood everything just by looking at his expression.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse stroked the case, took a deep breath, and seemed to be a little excited: "Let's talk about it, you don't say it now...... I'll have a lot of ways for you to speak. ”

"There's nothing to say." Zhu Chunchen smiled bitterly, what else can he say? He sighed and said, "A pound of gunpowder, in the Crafting Bureau, only costs a penny of silver, and it can be made." But if it is sent to Liaodong, it will be worth four taels of silver, which is forty times the spread......"

He had no expression on his face, no regret at this time, and no wailing of repentance, but continued calmly: "How can such a huge profit not move people's hearts? ”

…………

One: Tiger has five chapters a day, and every plot is actually necessary, otherwise it won't be strung together when the pit is buried in the end.

Two: It's not that Tiger doesn't want to merge chapters, in fact, Tiger has tried before, but after writing a book for ten years and developing a habit, he finally found that this is not ideal, because he will subconsciously turn the plot of 3,000 words into 6,000 words.

Three: I haven't eaten dinner yet, Chapter 5 is delivered, let's eat.
