This reason...

Tian Ergeng: "..."

Zhou Zhenggang: “…”

Emperor Aoki thought it made sense.

Zhang Jingyi was wronged.

Just because the official was young, he was bullied by the commander and the clerk.

But now is not the time to care about this.

Zhang Shun seemed to have been waiting outside for a long time, and the guards at the door felt strange. Why did Admiral Zhang always look like a thief today?

As a result, His Majesty summoned him, and as soon as the little eunuch came out, he met Zhang Shun in front of him.

Zhang Shun took a deep breath and then hurried in.

"I have seen Your Majesty..."

"You are Zhang Shun..."

Zhang Shun wanted to cry...this sentence... His Majesty seemed to have said it to him many times.

The tragic thing is that every time His Majesty learns that he is Zhang Shun, he turns his head and forgets about it.

But he can't complain or complain at this time.

After thinking about it, it is better to have a godfather, who will always remember him.

Zhang Shun said: "Yes, I am Zhang Shun."

Seeing that he was still answering well, Emperor Aoki couldn't help but nod: "Last night, did you go to Shangshenjian?"

"That's right." Zhang Shun said: "I heard the orders of the Marquis of Xinxian County, and thought to myself that this was a big deal, and it was a matter of a thief who wanted to poison His Majesty, so I dared to gather some people in this palace to join the palace, sneak into Shangshen Prison that night, and searched for the eunuch in the eunuch in charge of Shangshen. The Marquis of Xinxian County explained that there may be many people in Shangshen Prison who can poison His Majesty, but they can kill Liu Wu quietly and poison him. They have a lot of people who can kill Liu Wu quietly. They can also poison him. Just one or two people are the most suspicious. Zhao Jing is the eunuch in charge of the eunuch in charge of his Majesty, and he is the eunuch in charge of the work."

"So, I and the servants arrived at Zhao Jing's residence overnight, took him first, and then asked the truth, and found something in his room..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, who was kneeling aside, looked indifferent, but his body couldn't help but tremble.

Emperor Tianqi said coldly: "Where is Zhao Jingren?"

"It's already controlled, so I'll bring him up."

Zhang Shun seemed to have been prepared and went out as if he was flying. He soon took Zhao Jing up with a few eunuchs.

Zhao Jing had a bruised nose and a swollen face, and he was beaten at first glance.

At this time, he was so scared that he was trembling all over.

Zhang Shun said to Zhao Jing: "Can you recognize the Duke of the State?"

"No...I don't know." Zhao Jing replied subconsciously.

"If you don't know each other, then how did the gold in your room come from?" After that, Zhang Shun took out the gold nuggets and then said to Emperor Tianqi: "Your Majesty, these golds... are all searched from his room. Please check it out."

The gold was sent to Emperor Apocalypse.

In fact, in this era... gold is a precious metal and is naturally valuable.

However, many families often re-smelted and then reversed for the purpose of storing or as gifts after obtaining gold.

For example, at present, although the gold in the hands of Emperor Tianqi is also in the form of gold ingots, it is obviously not from the official, but from private. Under this gold, there is also the mark of the Duke of Chengguo’s Mansion.

This kind of private melting gold is actually very common.

Emperor Tianqi nodded and looked at Zhao Jing and said, "Zhao Jing, is this gold given to you by Duke Cheng?"

Zhao Jing was already scared to death. He said yes first, but then shook his head like a rattle, and kept saying no.

Emperor Aoki said angrily: "Is that true?"

Zhao Jing was so scared that he fainted, so he crawled in the hall without saying a word.

Seeing this, Zhu Chunchen, Duke Chengguo, had a slightly changed face.

In fact, these golds were not given this time, and only fools would give the gold from Duke Cheng’s Mansion at this critical moment.

This was all the time to bribe Zhao Jingyong in the past, but how could I know that this guy was still hiding in the palace like a treasure.

Zhao Jing was almost scattered and said stammeringly: "No...no, Your Majesty...is...is circulating on the market."

Emperor Tianqi sneered and said, "That's strange. Are you going out and taking such a large ingot of gold to circulate?"

Zhang Jingyi said at this time: "Your Majesty, I have actually investigated. Zhao Jing... Outside, there is a wife who is close to him, and two brothers. His parents are still alive, and even took a nephew as his son... Your Majesty... This person suddenly had so many gold from unknown sources, which was a great crime. I suggest that since he refused to say it, he would cut the man into pieces immediately. As for his relatives who came to the capital to enjoy their happiness, they would kill them. Then check his house outside the palace and confiscate them all."

When Zhao Jing heard this, his eyes turned dark and he immediately said in horror: "Give me your life."

"If you want to die happily, just tell the truth!" Emperor Tianqi suddenly understood Zhang Jingyi's thoughts and said, "If not, I will deal with it according to Zhang Qing's words."

"Say...I'll say..." Zhao Jing said tremblingly: "I...I'll be there on weekdays..."

Speaking of this, he looked at Zhu Chunchen carefully, and his face was ashen.

Zhao Jingze continued: "I have received a lot of favors from Duke Cheng in daily life. Several of my brothers and adopted sons have also taken a good job in the capital because of Duke Cheng. A few days ago, someone found me and asked me to do something. How dare I do something? But they tried to persuade me and said that if I didn't do it, my relatives outside would die. They also said... I had already thought of this matter. I thought it was safe and I might not be able to find it in the end... So I ate lard and was worried..."

"So that's it." Emperor Tianqi was furious when he heard this: "Is it really Duke Cheng?"

Zhao Jing crawled on the ground, and was so scared that he drowned. He cried and said, "Yes...yes..."

When he heard that this was the name, Zhu Chunchen, Duke Chengguo, had no reaction yet, and seemed to be trying to calm down.

Zhou Zhenggang, who was kneeling beside him, was already shivering, and his face was as scared as if he was earthy.

Emperor Tianqi was furious and slapped his whole body and then stared at Duke Cheng, Zhu Chunchen and sternly said: "Zhu Chunchen, you are so brave."

"Your Majesty..." Zhu Chunchen pretended to be calm and said, "Even if it was just a eunuch... how could he believe what he said? Does Your Majesty only believe in a eunuch, but not a minister? This Zhao Jing deserves to die. I beg Your Majesty to cut this man into pieces immediately to serve as a warning to others."

Until now, there is still no panic on Zhu Chunchen's face.

I have to say that Zhu Chunchen's psychological quality is indeed extremely powerful.

But Zhang Jingyi knew that this person was probably already panicked.

When Zhao Jing heard that Zhu Chunchen was going to cut himself into pieces, at this time, he knew that he was no longer alive, so he sneered: "Duke Chengguo, you are so cruel. You tried every means to pull us down. Now you still want us to die? You... you... the person you sent to contact us is Zhu Yan in your mansion. In addition, there is also gold from your family in my house. Do you want to leave us aside now? Haha... aren't you too late? We all know what you do about it... how do you deny..."

Zhu Chunchen closed his eyes and showed a little depressed look. Then, he opened his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, can you believe such a person?"

At this time, someone said, "But there is still something, I wonder how Duke Cheng Guo explains it?"

This abrupt statement immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone looked at the source of the sound, but it was Deng Jian who was escorting Duke Cheng Guo, Zhu Chunchen.

Deng Jian was full of complacent at this time, and he was a little drifty. At this moment, he couldn't help but admire the vision of his rebel father. Sure enough, it was right to get married later. With my conditions... Those who can match their families in the future should at least be a marquis.

Emperor Apocalypse showed some anxiety and said, "What else, you say."

Deng Jian then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have searched the Duke Cheng's Mansion and found a secret room. No... It's not right to say it's a secret room. This Duke Cheng almost hollowed out his underground house. It's not an exaggeration to say it's an underground palace. What is hidden under the ground... are countless gold and silver, and so much gold and silver. I have seen some people in the world, but I'm still numb. I'm still asking someone to count it. How much gold and silver is... I dare not assert it for the time being, but... I dare to say that even if he is a Duke and has accumulated wealth for more than ten generations, even if the people of the Zhu family are corrupt and abused the law, they will definitely not be able to get such huge wealth."

Speaking of this, Deng Jian's eyes turned and looked at Zhu Chunchen and said, "Duke Chengguo, I'll ask you, where did these gold and silver come from?"

Zhu Chunchen couldn't help but close his eyes in pain again.

I don't know if it was because of his loss of gold and silver, or because his heinous crimes could not be denied, his face became paler, but he was silent.

Now...

Actually, it is impossible to explain at all.

In this era, I won’t tell you the inference of innocence.

Emperor Aoki actually understood everything by looking at his expression.

Emperor Tianqi stroked the desk and took a deep breath, as if he was a little excited: "After saying that, if you don't say it now... I will have many ways to let you say it."

"There is nothing to say." Zhu Chunchen smiled bitterly. What else can he say? He sighed and said, "A pound of gunpowder is in the manufacturing situation. It only costs one cent of silver to be made. But if it is sent to Liaodong, it can be worth four taels of silver, which is a 40-fold interest rate spread..."

He had no expression on his face, and did not regret it at this time, nor did he wail and repent, but continued calmly: "How can such huge profits not touch people's hearts?"

1: The tiger has five chapters every day, and every plot is actually necessary, otherwise it will not be stringed together when it is buried in the end.

2: It’s not that Tiger doesn’t want to merge chapters. In fact, Tiger has tried it before, but after writing a book for ten years, he developed a habit. In the end, he found that this was not ideal. The reason was that he would subconsciously turn the plot of three thousand words into six thousand words.
Chapter completed!
