Chapter 23 Zhou Kui

Hearing Lao Zhu's question, Wang Chengen did not hesitate at all, and said directly: "Over there in Jinyiwei, Luo Yangxing has already taken out his family wealth to pay his salary, and he is also slowly cleaning up the scum in Jinyiwei. ”

"It's just that Jinyiwei has involved a lot of nobles, so Luo Yangxing's actions are very small, and it is estimated that the rectification will not be very fast."

"As for the Dongchang side, because we are all minions and there are no outsiders, Wang Dehua is quite fast."

"Just ......"

When Wang Chengen said this, he said with a slight hesitation: "It's just that at noon, Gao Qiqian went to Dongchang once, and he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Wang Dehua's actions. ”

"It's just that Wang Dehua's attitude is very tough, and he directly pushed Gao Qiqian back."

"Oh, high diving."

Hearing Wang Chengen say this, Lao Zhu suddenly remembered the life of this person, killed Lu Xiangsheng, abandoned the pass and fled when Li Zicheng attacked Beijing, and finally surrendered to Jiannu.

"Let Wang Dehua ...... Forget it, don't look it up. ”

Lao Zhu shook his head, feeling that there was no need to waste time on him, "Just send him to prison, just copy out the money he has been greedy for all these years, and kill people." ”

Wang Chengen obviously didn't expect Lao Zhu to say this, after all, Gao Qiqian is Chongzhen's favorite minister and is very trusted by Chongzhen.

As a result, it was only a night later, and the backhand was going to send him directly to the edict, which no one could have imagined.

However, Wang Chengen remembered what Lao Zhu said about the dream of Taizu, didn't the grandfather say something about high diving in the dream?

At this moment, Wang Chengen suddenly really believed that there was such a thing as a dream in this world.

"The old slave understands, and the old slave will inform Wang Dehua."

After Wang Chengen saluted, he withdrew directly.

And whether it is Lao Zhu or Wang Chengen, the two of them have never cared about whether it will cause any chaos if they do something against Gao Qiqian.

After all, all the power of Gao Qiqian depends on the emperor, and without the support of the emperor, a person like him is nothing.

……

The news of his imprisonment in just half a day spread directly throughout the capital.

Many ministers who got the news were surprised when they got the news.

Gao Qiqian won Chongzhen's trust, before he supervised the army and led to the defeat of Lu Xiangsheng's army, burying the Ming Dynasty and burying countless elite soldiers, so hundreds of officials wrote to impeach Gao Qiqian, but he was forced to be protected by Chongzhen.

But now, Gao Qiqian was actually sent to prison by "Chongzhen", and for a while, the ministers began to investigate, wanting to know how Gao Qiqian angered the emperor.

It was only during this investigation that they discovered that the relationship they had painstakingly made in the palace seemed to be completely broken in just one day.

The eunuchs who were originally close to them were either arrested or took the initiative to cut off relations with them, and for a while, the entire palace seemed to have completely cut off contact with the outside, and they couldn't find anything.

This situation made the ministers even more frightened, and even worse, they had begun to speculate whether there was something wrong in the palace, such as the crown prince having an accident or something.

After all, the frequency of accidents between the emperor and the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty was too high, and they couldn't help but think about it.

It's just that because there is no evidence, and the emperor behaved naturally when he went to the early court today, these people just guessed and didn't think much about it.

And some people who probably knew about the changes in the emperor, such as Li Banghua, Sun Chuanting, Luo Yangxing, etc., were full of shock.

It's just that although they are all shocked, the emotions after the shock are different.

Like Li Banghua and Sun Chuanting, in addition to shock, they are more excited and happy, they feel that His Majesty can finally distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and now they are full of courage, and the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is hopeful.

After Luo Yanghe and Wang Dehua learned about this, in addition to shock, they were more shocked and afraid.

Your Majesty can even throw such a favored Gao Qiqian into the edict prison, do you care about the two of them?

It is estimated that if His Majesty didn't think that they were still a little useful, and they were quick to express their attitude, I am afraid that there would be two of them among the people who are in prison now.

After figuring out this, the two of them instantly felt that they were full of motivation, and the progress of doing things was several percent faster, after all, the two of them didn't want to be imprisoned and go with Gao Qiqian.

Just when they were busy rectifying Jinyiwei and Dongchang, Jinyiwei commanded Wang Guoxing and did a good job in the task assigned to him by Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the Qianqing Palace, Wang Guoxing handed over an account book and several confessions to Wang Chengen and asked him to hand them over to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Then when handing over these things, Wang Guoxing opened his mouth and explained: "Your Majesty, these are all evidence that Zhou Kui and his family are soliciting bribes, forcibly occupying other people's property, and bullying others to buy and sell. ”

"Among them, there are also several bloody cases involved, those innocent people who were innocently harmed by the Zhou family, as many as 60 people, as for the silver taels involved, at least more than 300,000 taels, I hope Your Majesty can deal with it impartially."

In Wang Guoxing's voice, there was a trace of anger that could not be contained.

Zhou Kui's family relied on their status as relatives of the emperor and the country, and they were very unscrupulous, and those who were forced to die by them were some because of wealth, some because of sex, in short, as long as they did not meet the requirements, they would directly attack people in secret.

And their methods of doing these things are not clever at all, or it can be said that they are completely blatant murder, if it were not for this, no matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to find out so many things in such a short period of time.

It's really that they do things without any scruples, and they don't even think about covering them up at all.

But even so, those Shuntianfu Yin, who were in charge of investigating the case, did not investigate at all because they were afraid of the identity of Zhou Kui's family, and directly closed the case, or even worse, they would directly plant the crime on the victim.

Let those people die, and they will die with injustices on their backs.

As for those survivors who survived the harm inflicted by the Zhou family, it would be good if they honestly hid from the Zhou family incognito, but if they dared to go to Shuntianfu to sue Zhou Kui, the result would naturally be conceivable.

The investigation of the Zhou family is a big matter, and for the sake of secrecy, except for a few henchmen, he uses some new faces.

As a result, these young people were originally martial arts practitioners, and they were very angry, plus they were young and vigorous, so they didn't think about so many consequences at all.

If it weren't for the desperate pressure of his own henchmen, saying that His Majesty would definitely give them an explanation, it is estimated that these people would have touched the Zhou family in the middle of the night and had the heart to do what the national lord had done.

It's just that although Wang Guoxing suppressed this matter, it doesn't mean that there is no anger in his heart.

The Zhou family was greedy for the silver that he couldn't earn in his life, and he didn't care, but what really made him uneasy was the people who were innocently killed by the Zhou family, they were all people, more than sixty living people.

After he handed over the evidence this time, if Lao Zhu didn't ask, although Wang Guoxing would try his best to suppress this matter, his heart would also be cold.
