"Tell me the key point." Wu Zheng scolded angrily.

Ma Shiying smiled and said, "Prince, this is the point. If you have any abnormalities, you will be a demon. Suzhou Prefecture does not have that great ability. He openly disobeys the orders of the Censorate and detains the officers of the Censorate. This can only show one situation, there is someone behind the Suzhou Prefecture Office."

"who?"

"Actually, this is not difficult to guess." Ma Shiying smiled complacently, "Combined with the news that King Jing Zhu Cihuang became Zong Zhengqing before, the answer is about to come out."

"You mean Zhu Cihuang is just making trouble behind the scenes?"

"In addition to him, who else in Yixing Dynasty today dares to challenge the prince?"

Wu Zheng suddenly laughed, "I didn't want to pay attention to him, but he came to him on his own... I really said, "You can live a life of evil deeds, but you can't forgive me!"

Ma Shiying was stunned instead. After hearing what Wu Zheng and Zhang Huangyan said, he thought Wu Zheng didn't want to care about this matter.

"Is the prince going to take care of this case?" Ma Shiying said anxiously, "Even if Liu Rushi had sponsored Zhang Huangyan and others, she was the wife of Qin Qianyi after all. It is already merciful to the prince to take over their mother and daughter. If the prince personally interferes in this matter, it would be..."

Speaking of this, Ma Shiying stopped.

"What's the contrary?"

Ma Shiying looked at Wu Zheng carefully and said, "This means that it is more obvious. It will not only completely get into evil with the court, but also attract various rumors in the market that are not conducive to the prince."

"What rumors?"

"This... the people will definitely say that the prince is protecting... the traitor's family."

Wu Zheng frowned, but Ma Shiying's words were not unreasonable.

Liu Rushi and his daughter are now a hot potato. If they are just placed quietly and let them have food and clothing, there is nothing wrong with it. But if they make a big move and stand up for Liu Rushi, this will arouse speculation from the public and set a bad example.

Wu Zheng hesitated.

....

Afterwards, Wu Zheng went directly to Xiaohuilou.

"Xiao Anzi, check the bottom of King Jing Zhu Cihuang. Who has been with him in the past two years, where he has been, and the changes in his family property may be abnormal, etc... Check all!"

Wu Zheng felt evil in his heart, to be precise, he felt that he had no place to use his strength.

He was disobeyed by someone to the Censorate, and was actually slapped Wu Zheng in the face.

But the problem is that Wu Zheng is really not good at fighting back openly because Qian Qianyi's identity is too sensitive.

Wu Zheng insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty and the Northern Expedition. To put it bluntly, the previous Great Purge almost brought people in close contact with the Qing army during the Qing army's occupation.

Although there was no murder, it was equivalent to making these people public and it was of little use.

A dark chess can only work if it is not discovered. Once everyone knows it, it will be useless.

Therefore, if Wu Zheng openly stands out for Liu Rushi at this time, it is equivalent to slapping himself in the mouth.

This will have a very bad impact on the people.

But Wu Zheng couldn't bear this tone, especially when he had guessed that Zhu Cilang was making trouble behind the scenes.

When he came to Xiaohuilou, he used Changlin Wei and ordered Song An to thoroughly investigate Zhu Cihuang's actions over the past two years, which was equivalent to showing that Wu Zheng had to use extraordinary means.

....

The next day, noon.

Zhang Huangyan came to pay a visit with Liu Rushi, who had just been picked up from Jiaxing Mansion.

Liu Rushi, who is in his thirties, is already half a milf.

But between the eyebrows, the once glory can be vaguely visible.

"I am paying homage to His Highness the King of Wu." Liu Rushi bowed slowly.

Wu Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed it out, "No need to be polite, let's sit down."

Zhang Huangyan and Liu Rushi sat down against each other.

Wu Zheng said: "I have heard of your case. This case is actually very simple. Wei Geng, the Jiaxing Prefecture Promoter, has also found it. It is not difficult to punish the Qian family who bullied you."

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng looked at Liu Rushi quietly.

Liu Rushi was indeed smart. When she heard that Wu Zheng didn't say anything, she knew that there would be a follow-up after Wu Zheng's words.

"I dare to ask your highness, is there any difficulty?"

Wu Zheng glanced at Zhang Huangyan, but Zhang Huangyan deliberately left, pretending that he didn't see it.

This made Wu Zheng scold Zhang Huangyan in his heart. It was you who owed someone else's debt, but I asked me to pay it back for you. At this time, I turned my head on purpose. It was really ignorant.

But on the surface, Wu Zheng still answered Liu Rushi calmly, "You guessed it is indeed a difficult situation."

Liu Rushi's face turned dark and said, "Is it because the concubine used to be a brothel woman?"

Wu Zheng was stunned and said, "Even if it is a brothel woman, she is a Han Chinese. Under my rule, there is no distinction between abiding by the law or not by the law, and there is no distinction between noble and lowly."

"That must be because of my husband...."

Liu Rushi lowered her head and shed tears in her eyes. She was so unwilling to say even the word "Surrender to Qing Dynasty".

Wu Zheng sighed in his heart that even a brothel woman understood the word "conformity", but a person who is well-read in poetry and books has been repeatedly and again, and what kind of world is this!

Wu Zheng hardened his heart and said in a deep voice: "According to the law, Qian Qianyi sold his country and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and was deprived of his homeland, confiscated his property, and implicated his tribesmen for three generations. The king was negligent at the time and the court shirked the responsibility, which led to the events today... Otherwise, the Qian family in Changshu would no longer exist."

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng pointed at Zhang Huangyan and said, "Zhang Cangshui and the Jiangnan Rebel Army have received your favor. This is a merit. Therefore, I want to see you and tell you the whole story in person... If you are willing to stay in Hangzhou Prefecture, then the food, clothing, housing and transportation of your mother and daughter will be arranged by me, and you will definitely not be missing."

Liu Rushi bit his lip and thought for a while and said, "I know that because of the involvement of my husband, Suzhou Prefecture may not be able to go back, and my hometown in Jiaxing... I also scolded the Qian family for several days, but I can't go back. Thank you for your kindness. My concubine and my daughter are willing to stay in Hangzhou Prefecture. However, I can support myself. When I really need the prince's help, I will speak to the prince."

Wu Zheng nodded, "Okay. Under my rule, those who cannot starve to death and are willing to work, I think you should be good at female red embroidery and should be able to support yourself... In this way, Brother Xuanzhu, you chose a house for Liu Rushi to settle her mother and daughter... Even if it is my wish."

Liu Rushi was about to refuse, but was stopped by Wu Zheng, "If you have any mistakes, you will be punished, and if you have any merits, you will be rewarded. You did indeed have any merits to support the rebel army. How could I not reward me for my achievements? Otherwise, how could I encourage the people to imitate righteous acts?"

Liu Rushi then said, "In this way, I will be kind to you... Thank you for the reward of the prince."

Wu Zheng said: "Then stay in Hangzhou. Suzhou's property is considered to be confiscated by the court... It is easy to obtain anything outside, so there is no need to force it."

"yes."

"Brother Xuanzhu, please send Liu Rushi out on behalf of me." Wu Zheng issued an order to expel guests.
