In order to solve the impact of Haide's incident, the prince immediately asked Zhang Wen to discuss the matter.

I want to find the safest way to get the prince out of this matter and avoid falling into the mouth.

The prince, who was originally in a bad mood, heard the words "bad for big things", his eyes were frosty, and his face was gloomy.

If it weren't for Zhang Wen here, this dog slave would have been killed with a cane.

As a subordinate of the East Palace, there are no rules at all, isn't it a joke that the prince can't even teach a subordinate.

"What's the matter?" the prince suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Prince, just now someone from the household department said that Zhou Yuan, the secretary of the criminal department, put Zhang Xiang of the household department into prison," the subordinate said truthfully.

"What," the prince stood up suddenly.

"Say it again"

"Tobe Shangshu was put in prison"

Confirmed again, the prince was like a lightning strike, his body was shocked, and he took a few steps back, with a shocked face.

Hubu is the prince's money bag, and Zhang Xiang is also a strong supporter of the prince, which can be described as his right-hand man.

Now that Zhang Xiang has been arrested, it is like the prince has broken his arm, if there is anything disgraceful, it will be a fatal blow to the prince.

The criminal department is the person of King Jin, and this time Zhang Xiang has to shed his skin even if he doesn't die.

"Who ordered Zhang to be arrested?"

Hubu Shangshu is a good second grade, even if the father does not have conclusive evidence, he can't send someone to arrest him at will, not to mention that Hubu is still the prince's person.

Why was Zhang Xiang arrested, there was no sign at all.

"Prince, I heard from the people in the household department that His Majesty ordered the criminal department to arrest Lord Zhang," the subordinate said truthfully.

Hearing this, the prince's eyes widened, his face was pale, and he was powerless to wave his hand.

"Why did my father arrest Zhang Xiang, could it be that my father has ironclad evidence in his hands, otherwise why did he skip himself."

His mind was full of questions, and the prince no longer had the gentle side he used to be.

"Prince" Zhang Wen looked at the prince's decadent appearance and reminded him.

"Zhang Wen, you have to help the orphan"

The crown prince came to his senses, if this matter is not resolved well, the position of his East Palace will not be guaranteed.

Zhang Xiang has too much unfavorable news about the prince.

"Prince, don't be impatient"

Appeasing the panicked prince, Zhang Wen's eyes narrowed, and he kept thinking about countermeasures in his mind.

Some people are happy and some people are worried, King Jin learned that the emperor ordered Zhang Xiang to be arrested in prison and let the criminal department try it, which made King Jin very happy.

This time, Zhang Xiang fell into his own hands, even if it was the eighteenth generation of the ancestors, he had to find out, this was a powerful weapon against the prince.

"Let Zhou Yuan give this king a strict investigation"

The household department has the title of money bag, and it is with the support of the household department that the prince can be strong under the offensive of the two kings.

After all, money can make ghosts grind, let alone mortals with seven emotions and six desires?

Over the years, it is with the support of the household department that the prince has been able to buy so many people and get their support.

"Prince, Lord Zhang was arrested, it is estimated that he has something to do with Haide, and the household department is in charge of the world's grain and taxes.

can let His Majesty directly bypass the prince and let the Criminal Department arrest people, it is estimated that Hyde said the news that was very unfavorable to Lord Zhang, which made His Majesty angry.

The only way to do this is that the prince will go to His Majesty to find out the wind first, if Lord Zhang really can't save it, then let everything be interrupted here by Lord Zhang. ”

As the prince's adviser, Zhang Wen also knows something about the affairs between the prince and the household.

Hubu Shangshu was arrested, and the only possibility is that Hyde's embezzlement of taxes and silver over the years was discovered by the emperor, and Shun Teng found Zhang Xiang.

Now, what the prince has to do is to abandon Zhang Xiang when necessary and firmly hold the household in his hands.

The prince squinted, how could he not know what Zhang Wen meant.

Now that the emperor has made a move, then Zhang Xiang is in a catastrophe.

"You go and tell Zhang Xiang what to say and what not to say, you know in your heart. Lone is going to meet his father and find out."

Zhang Xiang was arrested, and Zhou Yuan personally interrogated him as soon as possible, which is a credit from heaven.

No one who came to the prison of the Criminal Department dared not recruit him.

"Master Zhang, don't you have anything to say" Zhou Yuan looked at Zhang Yan who was tied to the wooden frame, surrounded by torture instruments.

"I want to see the prince, I want to see the prince"

What kind of place is this in the Criminal Department, known as the Living Hades, Zhang Xiang's face was panicked, and his eyes were full of fear.

"See the Prince?" Zhou Yuan smiled coldly, the order was from the emperor, even if the prince came in person, it wouldn't change anything.

"Master Zhang, there are ten tortures in the Criminal Department, if you don't confess, then I have to serve you well."

Zhou Yuan said lightly, but in Zhang Xiang's heart, it was like a thousand catties of boulders smashing on his body, which made people frightened and creepy.

"You dare, I am the head of the household, the second official of the imperial court, you dare to torture me" Zhang Xiang shouted, and his hair was erected.

I want to use this to strengthen my courage.

Zhou Yuan gave his subordinates a look, and the subordinates brought a letter.

Looking at the record above, Zhou Yuan smiled coldly, and then asked his subordinates to spread it out for Zhang Xiang to see.

Glancing at the contents of the letter, Zhang Xiang's eyes widened, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, these are all records of Hyde's embezzlement of taxes and silver, and all the fingers are pointed at him.

His face was pale, and he didn't even dare to breathe, Zhang Xiang already knew the reason, and this time he was dead.

Embezzling taxes and silver, this is a big crime to kill the head and destroy the three clans.

"Lord Zhou, as long as I see the prince, I will say anything"

Zhang Xiang didn't believe Zhou Yuan, he was the king of Jin's person, and he couldn't wait to tell everything himself, so that the king of Jin could deal with the prince.

If you commit this kind of capital crime, once you say it, it will be worthless, and what else can you do with the prince to protect your family.

"Hmph"

Seeing Zhang's stubbornness, Zhou Yuan left angrily, and the next scene was a little bloody.

"Ahh

Yun Xuan, who was thousands of miles away, didn't know that because of Hyde's incident, which caused a huge shock today.

There is still one day to go to Taikang, compared with Jiangnan and Jiangyin, the situation in Taikang is better.

The flooding was not as severe as in those two places, perhaps because of the high terrain.

In the same way, this also gave Yun Xuan strong confidence that he could concoct the law in the fastest time and completely solve the hidden danger of flooding.

Then I went home, lay on the rocking chair with my daughter-in-law in my arms, and watched the clouds in the sky, this is life.

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

The prince stood nervously, and the emperor was in the batch of corrections, as if he did not see the prince.

Fear spread in the prince's heart, and he didn't dare to speak, so he had to stand motionless and wait for the emperor to finish handling political affairs.

After a while, the emperor stopped the pen and looked up at the prince, his eyes were sharp, like a sharp blade.

Such a terrible look made the prince panic, and he subconsciously wanted to kneel on the ground.

But the prince knew that if he knelt, then he would admit that all this was his own will.

Forcibly endure the uneasiness in his heart, bow his head and remain silent.

"The crown prince is no longer in the East Palace to deal with affairs, how can he have time to come to the Heart Cultivation Palace," the emperor said calmly.

"Father, the son-in-law heard that Hyde was rebellious and tried to murder the prince. Erchen was worried about rumors from the outside world, saying that Erchen was dissatisfied with Prince Yin, so he would make this decision.

Erchen came over to clarify to his father that Erchen definitely didn't mean this. ”

After speaking, the prince knelt down with a sincere attitude.

"If you didn't do it, why clarify?" The emperor glanced at the crown prince and said coldly.

Compared with the murder of the prince, the emperor is more concerned about where the tax money that has been embezzled by the household department for so many years has gone?

If the prince doesn't know, the emperor will never believe it, even if he gives Zhang Xiang a hundred guts for so much silver, he won't dare to take it.

Besides, the household department is in charge of the prince, and without his consent, how dare Zhang Xiang embezzle taxes and silver and fill his pockets.

What makes the emperor angry is, what does the prince want to do with so much tax money every year?

Rebellion?

The emperor's words shocked the prince, and he had a feeling of not admitting himself.

"Father, Erchen just doesn't want his father to misunderstand, although Erchen had some misunderstandings with Prince Yin before.

Ke Erchen never thought of murdering Prince Yin, Jiangnan is the area where Erchen governs refugees, and when such a thing happens, Erchen cannot escape the blame.

It's just that all this has nothing to do with Erchen, and even Erchen doesn't know about it, and Erchen is willing to confront Hyde."

Looking at the prince quietly, the emperor was silent for a while and said: "I already know about this matter, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Thank you father" The prince was relieved, as long as his father didn't think so.

Zheng Ku wrote in the recital that Hyde had embezzled a huge amount of tax money every year for more than ten years.

Up and down, all this money flows into the national capital and flows to the household department, what do you think of this matter" The emperor said expressionlessly.

Hearing this, the prince's eyes were panicked, and he said in his heart: Damn Hyde.

"Father, the minister doesn't know about this matter," the prince didn't want to think about it, and directly said that he didn't know.

Embezzlement of taxes and money is a capital offense.

"You are in charge of the household department, you don't know" The emperor's tone was aggravated, obviously not believing what the prince said.

"Erchen and Master Zhang rarely meet, and even when they do, they are chatting about some political affairs. Erchen really doesn't know about Lord Zhang and this silver, and the father is aware of it."

"It's good if not, I have ordered the Criminal Department to strictly investigate this matter, and I will definitely find out"

"Let's go down," the emperor waved.

"Erchen retires" The prince's eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness, Zhang Xiang must die.

Seeing the prince leave, the emperor's eyes were sharp, and then he looked at the news from the Yuanjiang River.

The prince returned to the East Palace and was furious.

After a while, Zhang Wen came to the East Palace and said: "Prince, his subordinates have secretly seen Zhang Xiang, and he has a book record of taxes and silver between the prince and him for more than ten years. ”

His eyes narrowed, and he was full of murderous intent, and the prince was furious, but he didn't expect this old fox to even keep his own hand.

You must know that the Criminal Department is the person of King Jin, and in order to let Zhang Wen get in, the prince wasted an undercover agent who was installed a long time ago.

"What are his conditions?" said the prince calmly.

"Lord Zhang hopes that the prince can ensure the safety of his whole family, and when the time is right, he will hand over the account book to the prince."

"Lone knows, you go and tell Zhang Xiang, Lone will definitely agree to his conditions, let him control his mouth," the prince said coldly.

Then the prince secretly called Su Wu and asked him to kill Zhang Xiang at all costs.

Only when Zhang Xiang dies will this matter end here.

"Yes," Su Wu retired.

The prince's eyes flickered, and with Su Wu's skills, it was not a problem to be in a big prison.

However, the ledger in Zhang Xiang's mouth made the prince uneasy, and if it was discovered, it would be enough to shake the position of his East Palace.

The emperor hates the corruption of officials and fills his own pockets, especially the collusion between the prince and his relatives.

However, over the years, the prince has given all the money embezzled by Zhang Xiang to his relatives, so that they can fully support the prince.

So that the crown prince can sit firmly in the position of the East Palace.

"Have you recruited it" King Jin smiled, the prince without a household department is like a tiger without teeth, there is nothing to worry about.

"Zhang Xiang has a hard mouth, and all the torture tools are on, but I don't dare to say it, I have to see the prince" Zhou Yuan was bitter, but he didn't expect Zhang Xiang to be still hard-boned.

His eyes narrowed, and the smile on King Jin's face disappeared instantly: "No matter what means you use, this king must know the evidence of the prince's embezzlement of taxes and silver."

Zhou Yuanzuoyi left and came to the prison: "How is Zhang Xiang?"
