Jia Yun had no choice but to step forward and give Zhu Jinghong a detailed introduction to the situation.

According to the introduction, there are more than 30 Westerners in the group of foreigners found by Xue Pan, then there are more than 20 British, more than 20 French, and the rest are scattered from all countries.

Although there are a large number of people, it is difficult to ensure that there are no indiscriminate people among them, after all, Xue Pan has a very high salary, and he can do anything for the sake of Qian foreigners.

Listening to Jia Yun's introduction, Zhu Jinghong entered an empty courtyard, where his throne had been set up.

After he sat down, Zhu Jinghong ordered: "Call the Spaniards over first, I want to ask them one by one!" ”

He brought an interpreter from the Ministry of Rites when he traveled today, and Xue Pan also found a translator himself, so there will be no obstacles to communication between the two sides.

Everyone Zhu Jinghong has to ask questions, and he must grasp the most real and detailed situation before he can hand over the answer sheet to the emperor according to the facts.

They were asking questions on their side, and in the Rongguo Mansion on the other side, several members of the Jia family also gathered together.

Jia Lian and Jia Rong, representing the future of Ning Rong's second mansion, the two of them followed to see Zhu Jinghong, and the elders in the family were concerned about this matter, so they were talking about it at the moment.

"These foreigners are arrogant and rude, the Thirteenth Master can afford these people, it's really strange and weird!" Jia Yu said.

"This master's thoughts, how can we mortals guess clearly!"

Jia Zhen's words sounded like a compliment, but in fact it was Yin and Yang Zhu Jinghong, obviously he was forced to withdraw from the marriage before, and he was still haunted in his heart.

At this time, Jia Zheng said: "The Thirteenth Master is young and likes some novelties, which is not surprising!" ”

When he said this, Jia Zheng thought that when he was young, he also liked to be unconventional and full of curiosity about new things.

It was only when he grew older and took on the responsibility of the family that he became the way he is now.

After a few breaths of silence, Jia Yu said: "Lian'er and Rong'er are already candidates for the Dragon Guard, and we want to try to let them pass the test earlier, Lian'er has me watching here...... Zhen'er, you have to stare at your own son too! ”

"Nephew understands!" Jia Zhen hurriedly replied.

"Today, the thirteenth master is out of the palace, and the two of them went to serve, which is right......"

Putting down the teacup, Jia Yu continued: "If the Thirteenth Master is to carry him, after the two of them are added to the Dragon Guard, life will be better!" ”

Jia Yu's voice fell, and there was silence in the living room for a while before Jia Zhen asked, "Second uncle...... I heard that a few days ago, the Qin family was already in prison? ”

The "Qin family" mentioned by Jia Zhen refers to the Qin industry in the Ministry of Industry.

is also an official of the Ministry of Industry, and Jia Zheng couldn't help but sigh when he mentioned this matter: "I was imprisoned three days ago!" ”

Hearing this, Jia Zhen smiled even more and said, "This is really retribution!" ”

This matter is a long story, and it has to fall on Zhu Jinghong.

Previously, he went out of the palace to the palace and found that the gate had been hung with a plaque of "Xiangwangfu", and the emperor knew about it.

Before the decree of the king is issued, the palace can repair the plaque, and even put the finished plaque in the palace, but it cannot be hung openly.

Once hung out, where to put the emperor? Where should the decree be placed?

It is impossible for the officials to make such a low-level mistake, all because the workers did not know what was going on and hung up the plaque on their own initiative.

Even if the workers didn't know, normally the overseer understood that it was powerful, and when he saw it, he would definitely order someone to take down the plaque.

Unfortunately, Zhu Jinghong had just hung up the plaque on the day he went, and he didn't give the supervisor and officials such as the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites to react at all.

As soon as the news was known to the emperor, he immediately ordered Dongchang to conduct a strict investigation, and finally the case was solved, and a number of people have been imprisoned.

A total of 48 of the people responsible for the manufacture, transportation and installation have been imprisoned, sentenced to death for the crime of great disrespect, and have been executed half a month ago.

However, the matter is not over, Zhu Jinghong was only known in the Ministry of Rites when he was named "King Xiang", and the leakage of the news must be related to the Ministry of Rites.

Under the deep digging of the East Factory, the three directors of the Ministry of Rites were convicted of great disrespect, but they were only given a little dignity and allowed to commit suicide in the East Factory Prison.

At the same time, a foreigner in charge of the edict of the Ministry of Rites was dismissed and exiled, and a Langzhong was dismissed and repatriated to his hometown.

In addition to the punishment of these middle-level officials, the entire Ministry of Rites was also ordered by the emperor to apply for punishment and all members were fined for three months.

The Ministry of Rites was punished, and the Ministry of Works, which was responsible for the construction of the palace, naturally could not escape the crime of lax supervision.

It just so happened that Qin Ye was the battalion of the Ministry of Industry, and first his subordinates and the principal were investigated, and he was also imprisoned by Dongchang three days ago.

In fact, when things reached the level of Qin Ye, he himself was actually not very responsible.

After all, there are many renovation projects in charge of him, and the subordinate officials are responsible for them, and he only plays a supervisory and coordinating role.

But the emperor is angry, and if he is not allowed to close the case, he will have to investigate, so he will continue to expand the scope of involvement.

Only the name and the instrument can not be dummy, Zhu Xianming will never allow anyone to hide such a serious matter as the holy decree, so this time he wants to kill the chicken to show the monkey.

Not surprisingly, the entire Ministry of Industry will also be punished next, and it is very likely that the fine will be paid.

"Zhen'er, you can't say that, it's not a gentleman's doing!" Jia Zheng reminded with dissatisfaction.

Jia Zhen did not change her words, but argued with reason: "Second uncle...... They are engaged and regret their marriage, is it the gentleman's doing? ”

As soon as these words came out, Jia Zheng really had nothing to say, and it was the teachings of the sage to directly report his grievances.

When the Jia family was not happy with each other, Zhu Jinghong's questioning on the other side had already begun.

I don't know if I don't ask, but when I ask, I realize that there are a lot of people in it.

In order to cheat money, these people all boasted that they had books and could make guns and cannons, but Zhu Jinghong asked a few more words from a professional point of view, and most of them were speechless.

For example, if he knows how to build a ship, Zhu Jinghong only asked him to report the size of the ship, and then asked him to report the load capacity, and then used the buoyancy formula to make a rough estimate, and he knew that this person was nonsense.

Soon two hours passed, and among the remaining ninety-six people, only fifty-two people were finally left, and those who were indiscriminate were sent to the edict prison by Zhu Jinghong's order.

"Xue Pan ......"

"The villain is here!"

"The rest of the people, you continue to take care of it, or it won't be long before the Holy One will have a will!"

"Yes...... The villain must do his best! Xue Pan replied respectfully, Qingxing has finally passed this level today.

Just now I found so many people who were indiscriminate, which made Xue Pan extremely worried, for fear that Zhu Jinghong would blame him for not doing his errand well.

At this moment, Zhu Jinghong's tone was calm, and he had no intention of pursuing it, which naturally made him feel lucky.

"Jia Yun!"

I thought that there was nothing wrong with me, but when I heard Zhu Jinghong summoning Jia Yun, I was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The villain is here!" ”

"You're doing things properly, the specifics of this place ...... It's still up to you to manage and maintain, don't let people leave again! Zhu Jinghong commanded.

These words are equivalent to directly sending Jia Yun to send a messenger, which is an opportunity that he never expected.

From another point of view, he Jia Yun is doing things for Zhu Jinghong, and having this signboard is not only glamorous, but also immeasurable.

The opportunity must not be lost and the time will not come again, how can Jia Yun not seize such an opportunity.

I saw him kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and worshiping: "Please rest assured...... Even if the villain dies, he will never live up to the trust of the thirteenth master! ”

Zhu Jinghong has heard similar words of determination, and he doesn't know how many times he has heard them, but he doesn't feel much at the moment.

"Let's do things!" Zhu Jinghong said indifferently.
