As soon as the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard the word "chaotic party", his face changed suddenly.

Of course, there is also a look of excitement.

These days, a large amount of gold and silver has been put into the warehouse, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse is getting more and more abundant.

But when he learned that there were still seven families whose wealth was hidden, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was haunted by his dreams.

Not to mention the revenge of killing the son, just talking about such a fortune that is bigger than the sky, the Emperor of the Apocalypse knows better than anyone what this will mean.

This means that he can truly be free from human constraints and do whatever he wants.

Money can really do whatever you want.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse can be said to have a natural trust in Zhang Jingyi, and since Zhang Jingyi designated Liu Hongxun, there must be a basis.

At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse glared at Liu Hongxun coldly and said, "Liu Hongxun, you don't want to admit it, do you?" ”

Liu Hongxun said: "The minister is not guilty, this is Zhang Jingyi's groundless slander, the minister and Zhang Jingyi have always been not harmonious, Your Majesty knows this......

He still denied it.

Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will have a ghost if he does not deny it.

The other ministers were also frightened, and they couldn't tell right from wrong for a while, so Huang Liji, a member of the cabinet, said: "Your Majesty, the new county marquis, since it is said that Liu Gong colluded with the party, I don't know...... What evidence is there? ”

Zhang Jingyi said confidently: "Of course there is evidence, Liu Hongxun, do you dare to confront the emperor?" ”

Liu Hongxun still said calmly: "Dare, of course I dare." ”

So Zhang Jingyi looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said, "Please ask Your Majesty for permission, and let the rebellious party Zeng Erhe come to see you." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse only wants to know the truth now, why is he unwilling to agree at this time? Hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, bring this person up to me." ”

So soon a eunuch went to deliver the decree.

This hall has become extremely embarrassing, the ministers have their own thoughts, this Liu Hongxun is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, not an ordinary person, if such a person colludes with the chaotic party, how shocking it will be!

After waiting for a long time, Zeng Erhe was escorted.

When everyone looked at Zeng Erhe, they were suddenly shocked.

The man was so miserable, blind in one eye, covered in shocking scars, without intact skin on his face, with one side of his ears missing, and his lips turned up.

He was taken to the temple and bowed down tremblingly.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at him, and then said, "Who is this?" ”

"Your Majesty, on Caihu Street that day, it was this person who connected with the minister, and the minister immediately asked people to take him down."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse thought that his son was involved, and he was furious and said hatefully: "Say it." ”

Zeng Erhe was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, people were like this, he was very tough at first, and when he finally broke through his psychological defense, he was extremely frightened and trembling.

Zhang Jingyi said: "Zeng Erhe, do you know this person?" ”

Zhang Jing casually took it, but nodded at Huang Liji.

Huang Liji's face turned green.

Zeng Erhe looked at it, shook his head and said, "I don't recognize it." ”

Zhang Jingyi pointed to Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of War: "Do you recognize this person?" ”

Cui Chengxiu looked happy, she actually thought it was funny, and couldn't help but squeeze her eyebrows with Zeng Erhe.

Zeng Erhe shook his head: "I don't recognize it." ”

Zhang Jingyi: "Who do you know here?" ”

Zeng Erhe wandered among the ministers for a while, and finally his eyes fell on Liu Hongxun: "I know him." ”

Zhang Jingyi was silent: "Who is he?" ”

"Liu Hongxun."

As soon as this remark came out, many people were a little nervous.

Liu Hongxun immediately said: "I don't recognize him." ”

"That's weird." Zhang Jingyi's face was solemn: "You don't recognize him, but he recognizes you, why doesn't anyone else recognize this person, but he recognizes you?" ”

"Zeng Erhe, you say, how did you recognize him?"

Zeng Erhehe: "He summoned me to a mansion and personally instructed me, saying that he wanted to bring Tian Shenglan back, and it would be a great achievement to bring it back." ”

"Nonsense." Liu Hongxun looked furious: "You are talking nonsense. ”

"When did you call?"

Zeng Erhe thought for a while: "On the ninth day of October, it's three o'clock in the night. ”

It's three o'clock in the evening, about nine to ten o'clock in the evening.

Zhang Jingyi immediately looked at Liu Hongxun: "Liu Hongxun, where are you at three o'clock?" ”

"At home."

"Who can prove it."

"Many can attest."

"Let's take a look."

"My son, and my wife."

"What about the others besides your house?"

Liu Hongxun said: "I read at home, and there is no one else. ”

At this time, Zeng Erhe said: "It's not in the study, it's in a small hall, I remember clearly, there is a painting in the small hall, and the painting is a horse." ”

Zhang Jingyi looked at Liu Hongxun: "Is your small hall like this?" You don't deny it, I can have people look at it right now. ”

Liu Hongxun's face was even more miserable, and he didn't say a word.

Obviously, Zeng Erhe was right.

"So Liu Hongxun instructed you to pick up Tian Shenglan, right?"

Zeng Erhe nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Liu Hongxun said unwillingly: "Nonsense, this is nonsense, if I am really a mess of the party, how can I meet him?" This is wronging me. ”

Zeng Erhedao: "You said yourself, this errand is absolutely safe, say that after I finish the matter, I will immediately rush to Tianjin Wei, and then on the dock of Tianjin Wei, someone will answer." At that time, let me take Tian Shenglan to fly away, and when I come to the outside of the gate, the court whip is beyond the reach, and I can be as happy as I want. ”

Liu Hongxun: "......"

Zeng Erhe continued: "Such a big thing, if you don't personally instruct it, how dare I do it?" It was you who swore by yourself, even if the court knew my whereabouts, you would not be afraid, saying that the prince was in your hands, and the Jinyi guard would not dare to do anything to me. I was reassured at the time, who knows...... ......"

Liu Hongxun looked miserable.

But the reason is in the past.

Zeng Erhe is a tool anyway, and as long as the prince is in hand, no matter how heinous he is, he can swagger away with Tian Shenglan.

Since this is the case, even if you see him, you don't have to worry about revealing anything in the future.

After seeing it, it can also increase Zeng Erhe's confidence, and the errand can be done more smoothly.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was furious, and he couldn't help it at this time: "Liu Hongxun, what else do you have to say!" ”

"Your Majesty......" Liu Hongxun kowtowed painfully, and then said: "The minister is wronged." ”

"Wronged, why did he only wronged you?"

"Your Majesty......" Zhang Jingyi said at this time: "Your Majesty...... In addition to this Zeng Erhe, there is also a director of the Ministry of Rites, this person surnamed Chen, he also came to the secret report yesterday, saying that Liu Hongxun was in the Ministry of Rites, managing the affairs of the monks, and providing a lot of convenience to the Daruo Temple. ”

When it comes to this, Liu Hongxun has no way to deny it.

Liu Hongxun was still stiff: "This is slander, Your Majesty...... This is Zhang Jingyi's framing and framing of ministers, he has long regarded ministers as a thorn in his side, Your Majesty...... Don't believe Zhang Jingyi, Zhang Jingyi's wolf ambition and disaster to the world must be this person. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was so angry that his chest rose and fell.

casually picked up the inkstone on the case, and smashed it at Liu Hongxun.

Liu Hongxun was suddenly smashed on the head and bled out, so he covered his head and howled like killing a pig.

"Brute!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse said angrily: "Until now, are you still obsessed? I treat you well, you are such a waste, I still let you be ranked in the position of Shangshu, and you even want to tie up my son! How much did you really receive? The big truth on weekdays turned out to be just a fig leaf for your flies and dogs. To this day, he still has to die without repentance. Take it down, give it to me, and find out a result, this person must still have a comrade, I will uproot it, and leave no one. They will raid his house to see how much gold and silver he has hidden, and how much stolen goods he has received. ”

A few guards had already come in and dragged Liu Hongxun away.

The ministers in the palace were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out.

To be honest, they never expected Liu Hongxun to be so bold.

And Liu Hongxun was still wailing, covering his head, and scolded at this time: "Faint king, traitor...... Faint ...... Traitor ......"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was even more angry, and then stared at Zeng Erhe, Zeng Erhe was like a frightened bird, so frightened that he kowtowed and didn't dare to look at it at will.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse pointed at Zeng Erhedao: "This person is the one who went to pick up Tian Shenglan in the first place?" ”

"Exactly."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "After finding out, Ling Chi will be executed. ”

The word Ling Chi has almost become the mantra of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

When Zeng Erhe heard these words, his eyes were already black, and he fainted in fright.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was still angry, and said angrily: "I never expected that their henchman was actually Liu Hongxun!" It can be seen that things have reached a terrible point, but in this court, is there only one Liu Hongxun thief? I don't think that's the only way, those thieves...... I don't know how many people have been dragged into the water, and Liu Hongxun is just the tip of the iceberg. Now, it can't be tolerated, and the factory guards must step up to continue to take thieves, and don't let anyone go. ”

Zhang Jing said: "Your Majesty, the minister will interrogate Liu Hongxun, Liu Hongxun is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he must be an important figure in the chaotic party, and the information he can grasp must be extraordinary." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded, his face finally softened a little at this time, and then he showed a look of relief to Zhang Jingyi, and said, "Thanks to the Qing family, if not...... The consequences are unimaginable. ”

The words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse are by no means groundless.

The case of the eight major profiteers is very important.

You must know that in history, these profiteers continued to send a large amount of materials to the Jiannu people, but when Emperor Tianqi and Emperor Chongzhen were in power, they didn't know anything about it.

Sending out so many resources with such fanfare, passing through so many checkpoints along the way, and even passing through the entire Liaodong, but ...... There was not a single recital.

It wasn't until the Jiannu people entered the customs and Dolgon feasted on the eight profiteers, commended them for their contributions, and appointed them as the eight great imperial merchants, that people knew that there were these people in the world.

It can be seen from this that these people are not hiding deeply, but that the Ming Dynasty and the opposition have long been rotten, as long as it is profitable, how many people will turn a blind eye to such things.
