Zhu Gaosui is really afraid, he knows how ruthless his father is, and it is not enough to kill him, but it is very possible to abolish him, or be imprisoned to death.

"Father, the son really has no intention of rebellion!"

Zhu Gaosui swore to the sky: "If I have a little disobedience, I will let my whole family die and leave no one behind." ”

"Presumptuous!" Zhu Di was furious.

"Third brother, what are you talking nonsense?" Chubby was also displeased.

Li Qing wanted to laugh a little, but he held back.

Zhu Gaosui came back to his senses and quickly changed his words: "I mean, my whole family, you don't count." ”

Zhu Zhanji sneered: "It seems that the third uncle doesn't treat us as a family!" ”

"I ......" Zhu Gaosui was full of grief and indignation, and his intestines were full of regret: What the hell is this called, is this for Lao Tzu's birthday, or for his own taboo day?

Damn, I knew that the second child wouldn't come, and I wouldn't come either!

"Big nephew, you can't pit the third uncle, the third uncle loves you the most." Zhu Gaosui was close to the set of words.

Zhu Zhanji doesn't eat this, don't go over it and ignore people.

Zhu Gaosui really cried now: "Dad, brother, I was wronged, you believe me, believe me!" ”

"Alright." Zhu Di's face was full of anger and disgust, but there was also a hint of relaxation, "Look at your snot and tears, how can you look like a vassal king." ”

Indeed, it is impossible for the third child to rebel.

"Get up, as long as you have this ability, Lao Tzu still doesn't care about it." Zhu Di scolded.

"Father Emperor is discerning, Father Emperor Shengming, ......!" Zhu Gaosui was like a new life, 'bang bang bang' knocked his head a few times, and got up from the ground, his face full of joy.

In this short period of time, he seemed to have been closed by the ghost gate several times.

Zhu Di looked at Li Qing and shook the letter in his hand, "You are responsible for handling this case, and I will give you three days." ”

I shouldn't have come along, curiosity kills the cat...... Li Qing reluctantly agreed.

picked up the letter and unfolded it, the content is quite simple, and it can be summarized in one sentence: King Zhao colluded with Lieutenant Changshan to command, Yu Linwei to command the avant-garde, and the eunuchs in the palace poisoned Zhu Di and took the throne himself.

Li Qing scoffed, if he was the king of Han, he might have a little credibility, but the king of Zhao ...... The joke is a bit cold.

The handwriting is horizontal and vertical, either written with his feet, or written with his left hand, I am afraid that it will not work if I want to find someone through the handwriting, Li Qing had a headache, looked up and asked:

"Your Majesty, what should you do after finding out the culprit?"

"Ling Chi!" Zhu Di's tone was cold, "The men of the three clans are on the border, and the women are in the sect." ”

"Understood." Li Qing arched his hand, "The minister will retire first." ”

……

Three days was not enough, so Li Qing had to peel off the cocoon and analyze it step by step.

Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, entered Beijing the day before yesterday, and before that, Jian Yi of the Ministry of Officials, Yang Shiqi of the Cabinet, Yang Mian of the Ministry of Rites and others were still in prison, and they were guarded by Jinyi Guards, so they had no time to collude to commit crimes.

Chang Shan Wei, Yu Linwei, Eunuch ...... Li Qing sighed: This is obviously for the generals and eunuchs.

This method of planting is not clever, and even a little naïve, but it is very effective.

According to normal logic, such a big matter as rebellion, no matter how absurd and uninhibited, as an emperor, he will investigate it in detail.

And once the investigation is rigorous, there will inevitably be a crisis of confidence.

Just in time when Zhu Di was about to go to the army, it can be said that his control of the current situation was perfect.

Do you check it or not?

If you check, there is a high probability that you will not be able to send out the army, and if you don't check, you will always have a thorn in your heart.

Especially the trick of 'eunuch poisoning', it is even more detrimental, if you don't check, you won't be at ease eating, who knows if the eunuch who tested the poison prepared the antidote in advance.

"Damn ......," Li Qing scolded, "It's so dirty!" ”

Zhu Di also realized this, and it was a little difficult to ride a tiger, so he threw the problem to Li Qing.

The point is, Li Qing also has a headache.

Because there is no evidence to lock down the people behind the scenes.

The imperial court cannot speculate on the handling of cases, especially for officials, and must have sufficient evidence, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.

Li Qing frowned and said, "You can only start from the source first." ”

So, Li Qing went to the Ministry of Rites and found that Langzhong.

……

"What do you call it?"

"Xiaguan Wang Zhong."

"Wang Langzhong." Li Qing nodded and asked, "The emperor ordered me to investigate this matter thoroughly, who else has read this letter except you?" ”

His eyes were dangerous: "Have you ever spread such a ridiculous thing?" ”

"Xiaguan...... Never. Wang Zhong said stubbornly.

Unconsciously, he had fallen into Li Qing's language trap.

Li Qingti took notes on his confession, "Draw a charge." ”

"This ...... Whistleblowers are also guilty? Wang Zhong was emotional, "The lower officials are dedicated to the country, and the sincerity of the world can be learned......"

"This is just an investigation, not a crime." Li Qing smiled and said, "Otherwise, this official will have to invite you to Zhao Prison to talk." ”

"Uh... All right. Wang Zhong reluctantly drew the charge.

Li Qing put away his confession, his eyes threatening: "The matter of the letter, please also ask Wang Langzhong to keep it secret, if it is leaked from you, the consequences will ...... You know. ”

"Yes, the lower officials understand." Wang Zhong smiled.

"That's good, Wang Langzhong has to take care!" Li Qing patted him on the shoulder, showed a meaningful smile, and turned to leave.

Seeing Li Qing walk away, Wang Zhong sat on the chair with his buttocks, trembling uncontrollably, and his face was full of regret: he shouldn't have gone to this troubled water.

However, it was too late to say anything now, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and he could only pray that Li Qing could not find any substantive evidence.

As the person who presented the anonymous letter, Wang Zhong was too suspicious, and he knew this very well.

Li Qing naturally knew it, but there was no evidence, and he couldn't take people.

That's why he used words, expressions and other details to give Wang Zhong a feeling of 'I know you are the one who does the game'.

After leaving the Ministry of Rites, Li Qing went home, without going to any Yulinwei, nor to find the eunuch of Dongchang in the letter.

There is no need for that, Zhu Di's control of the army is better than that of Zhu Yuanzhang at the same time, as for the eunuchs...... The East Factory is in full swing, where will they harm Zhu Di.

The civil officials just hope to thoroughly investigate the generals and eunuchs, so as to break the close relationship between Zhu Di and the two forces, Li Qingmen's son.

……

It was night, and it was as dark as ink.

Li Qing was dressed in an ink-colored robe, Zhu Zhanji was dressed in a dark robe, and the two hid in a small alley thirty meters away from Wang Zhong's house.

"Uncle Qing, why are we like thieves." Zhu Zhanji said in a breathy voice.

"Less nonsense." Li Qing snorted lightly, "The emperor gave me three days, what can I do?" This is the only way to do it. ”

"Then do you think Wang Zhong will show his stuffing?" Zhu Zhanji asked, "What if he can calm down?" ”

Li Qing said helplessly, "Then I can't help it, try your luck." ”

Zhu Zhanji was speechless and waited with his temperament.

A quarter of an hour passed, two quarters of an hour passed......

When he was young, Zhu Zhanji really couldn't bear it, "Withdraw, then Wang Zhong withstood the pressure, there is no need for us to defend here." ”

"Wait." Li Qingdao said, "I scared him so much during the day, he probably couldn't bear it." ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded helplessly.

It was another long wait, until the end of the child, when Zhu Zhanji was about to fall asleep, the door squeaked open.

It wasn't loud, but it was very harsh in the silence of the night.

Zhu Zhanji was in good spirits, and just as he was about to poke his head out to look, he was pulled back by Li Qing, "Don't move blindly." ”

Li Qing poked his head out to look.

A black figure poked his head out, glanced left and right, dozens of meters away, the other party did not find him, stunned, and the figure was far away.

"Uncle Qing, let's chase after it." Zhu Zhanji was not sleepy at all, and said anxiously: "This black light is blind, and I won't be able to keep up for a while." ”

"Don't worry, you can't run away from him." Li Qing smiled, "Where do you guess he went?" ”

Zhu Zhanji shook his head: "How do I know this, this group of civil servants have a very good reputation, and they all look like good people before the secret thing is found out." ”

Li Qing smiled dumbly: "That's right." ”

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, there were really few traitors in the civil official group, and one Yan Song was more famous.

This is very unreasonable!

On the contrary, they are eunuchs, almost all of them are traitors, and there are few good people.

Oh, the officials of the Ming Dynasty are all good officials!

Li Qing secretly mobilized his true qi, his hearing went to the next level, and when the footsteps were completely far away, he pulled Zhu Zhanji out, "Do you want to gamble something?" ”

"Bet on what?"

"Bet on who he sees," Li Qing said with a smile, "How about betting on a hundred taels of gold?" ”

"Cheng," Zhu Zhanji said, "I bet he went to see the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." ”

Li Qing nodded: "Then I bet that he is not the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." ”
