All the civil and military officials came to the back hall, and then they all turned slightly, waiting for Zhu You to speak in the school motto.

Zhu Youxiao placed the sword in the corner of the table, then looked at everyone, and said calmly:

"There is something that Tang Binyin and others said right. This time I went south, not just to worship ancestors and temples, but to inspect the place."

"What the Ministry of Rites said is nonsense. After reading it, just smile."

This is easy to say, and just smile after reading it. You emperor can say this. If a minister really does this, wouldn’t it be a stingy person?

Everyone felt nervous. It seemed that Emperor Aoki was going to show off for them!

Especially Wang Yongguang, the governor of Jinling, who was the first to bear the brunt of this reform, was even more nervous.

He has betrayed his original class and has no choice but to follow the Emperor of Heaven and Qi, and he is afraid he will die on the streets if he doesn't follow the Emperor of Heaven.

"Everyone in the world says that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. You ministers understand better than me, the emperor."

"I can't control all the more than 90 million subjects of the Ming Dynasty, but I can't control them."

Zhu Youxiao said above, and the ministers became more and more honest, fearing that if anyone didn't pay attention, they would go to the underworld to take care of the ghosts.

"Go down and investigate the case well."

Zhu Youxiao said the four words "Investigate the case well" with a light word, but the ministers were beating wildly when they heard it. The Emperor of Heaven, who was not even letting go home to take care of Yang Lian!

Is this case so easy to investigate?

Thinking of this, the censor from Jinling Province wiped his sweat secretly. He was really nothing. He took on such a hot potato in less than half a month after taking office.

Everyone did not dare to relax, so they turned around and left one by one.

Suddenly, a few words came from behind.

"By the way, Wang Yongguang stays."

Wang Yong paused and had to stand beside him and wait. His face turned pale just by looking at it, and his heart was even more thumping.

When the ministers left, Zhu Youxiao pointed to his side and said with a smile:

"There is no one here. I was in the hall just now. Seeing that you were quite angry with Zhao Zhilong, I wanted to talk to you."

Seeing that even though Wang Yongguang was sitting there, he was still only half of his butt, Zhu Youxiao laughed and said freely: "I will talk casually today, I forgive you for not being guilty."

The more relaxed and indifferent Zhu Youxiao seemed, the more Wang Yongguang felt that there was something wrong.

After hearing the word "pardonation for nothing", he knelt down and said, "What is your Majesty asking? I will reply truthfully. If there is a half-word, I will not die well..."

"This is what you said, I didn't force you." Seeing Wang Yongguang keep kowtowing, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand to signal him to get up and said:

"It's okay, I won't let you die a bad death. Haven't I forgive you for being innocent? What else are you afraid of?"

Looking down at Wang Yongguang, Zhu Youxiao gradually approached his ears and sneered:

"Are you afraid of death?"

Wang Yongguang stood upright, not knowing what to say, but he just crawled on the ground, trembling all over his body.

Then, Zhu Youxiao stood up straight, and the smile on his face gradually solidified. He pressed his hand on the sword and asked coldly:

"Zhao Zhilong confessed that Du Sheng and Xu Wenjue have something to do with you?"

"If you don't tell the truth, I will kill your nine clans!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yongguang trembled all over.

"Before His Majesty arrived in Nanjing, Zhao Zhilong came to Fengyang to find the ministers about the few days before the Emperor arrived in Fengyang, saying that he wanted to go to the water to protect himself."

"What's the reason why Du Sheng is worth his time in the water?"

Zhu Youxiao asked again.

Wang Yongguang hesitated for a moment, and was defeated by Zhu Youxiao's gaze that was enough to kill him a hundred times, and truthfully explained: "Du Sheng misappropriated the silver money for the disaster relief in Huaibei in the first year of Tianqi, and..."

"And Yang Sichang once submitted a memorial to impeach him, but he almost suffered a conspiracy and died on the way to Shandong to provide disaster relief."

"Okay, this is Wei Zhongxian's good godson, and the last one is Cui Wensheng, he dares to kill me."

Zhu Youxiao laughed and said:

"What else is related to this matter? If you dare to make a false statement, you know the consequences."

Wang Yongguang was already ashamed. He had already betrayed his own class. If the emperor did not trust him, he would be indestructible.

He knew in his heart that there was no second way except to explain everything he knew.

......

The next morning, a serious incident came to report, confirming that everything Wang Yongguang said yesterday was true and there was no element of making up lies.

According to Wang Yongguang, Zhao Zhilong was idle for no day in Nanjing.

Before Zhu Youxiao came, he had looked for Wang Yongguang and Du Sheng, and the Duke of Wei was a regular customer.

To talk about the real purpose, it is still very simple, it is entirely for his own interests, and the others are nonsense.

Zhao Zhilong went to Xu Hongji that day, and then the two had a dispute because Zhao Zhilong concluded that this was the only opportunity for Nanjing nobles to seize military power.

Xu Hongji wanted to give up this opportunity, but Zhao Zhilong felt that he was too cautious and thought about intercepting the memorial.

Wang Yongguang also said that he felt that Zhao Zhilong had never had the idea of ​​killing Xu Hongji and Zhang. Moreover, Zhao Zhilong was a man with a lot of tricks and held the handles of many people, including Du Sheng.

Even if you want to kill, you won't make such a low-level mistake.

After investigation of this case, Zhao Zhilong, who used to think of the murderer, has become innocent, and the biggest suspicion is Xu Wenjue.

But no one believed that it would be Xu Wenjue's work, only Zhu Youxiao was suspicious after listening to the report from Wang Yongguang and the Jiaoshifu.

No matter who the murderer was, the whole thing was done very cleanly. Chen Ce took Yongweiying to turn the city out of Nanjing, and did not find the housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion.

After that night, the butler seemed to have evaporated from the world. He could not find the needle in a haystack no matter how hard he looked for it.

Xu Wenjue wore mourning all day long, crying about Zhao Zhilong's atrocities.

Not to mention others, Zhu Youxiao has not believed that Xu Wenjue would kill his father until now. In the eyes of many people, there is no connection between this.

The most important thing is that the suspect and interrogation of the Niesi Office is still Zhao Zhilong in prison, and no one has ever thought about Xu Wenjue.

Tian Ergeng, who was in charge of the department, was trying every means to relate the group of people in the Xuankun Party to this matter, and there was nothing else to worry about.

As for Fu Yingxing from the East Factory, Zhu Youxiao really overestimated their ability to investigate.

In the capital, Dongchang men were everywhere, but when they arrived in Jiangnan, they were like blind men, and they could not find any information after going around.

In the eyes of most people, it is completely nonsense to say that Xu Wenjue killed his father. This is undoubtedly the case that Zhao Zhilong was scrambling and biting before his death. This kind of thing was not without.

Zhu Youxiao sent away a limping matter, gave him a silver reward, and then stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, facing a picture of the greeting pine tree, but he had no feeling of appreciation in his heart.

The Jiaoshifu Office is not very powerful in Nanjing. Although the investigation ability is stronger than that of the East Factory and is more secretive, this kind of thing cannot be found in one or two days.

It's almost three days, and he has more things to do, so he can't delay his work on this matter.

The water is too deep, so stop.

Let the vicious house continue to search secretly. Just find out who it is and know it yourself. If you can’t get this person through the official path, you can go through a dark path, so as not to trouble!

As for Zhao Zhilong, this guy is not a good person anyway.

This time, let him be a scapegoat. Killing him can protect the people's hearts, which will be beneficial to his reputation as an emperor.

The real murderer has not been caught, but he accidentally uprooted the Xuankun Party and even made Zhao Zhilong a scapegoat, winning the hearts of the people.

It's a good thing.

......

The former Nanjing Ministry of Justice Prison, and now the current Jinling Provincial Department of the State Council.

Zhao Zhilong, with disheveled hair, looked at the prison guard who came to arrest the man, and his face was ashamed, and asked with a black face: "Are you arraigned?"

The jailer glanced at him and replied expressionlessly:

"What are you asking for? I've been killed!"

Zhao Zhilong was shocked and stood up and leaned back.

"What did you say, ask the kill..."

"Why kill me?"

The jailer seemed to have heard something ridiculous, and pulled him out and said sarcastically:
Chapter completed!
