Zhu Cilang smiled.

"Eunuch Cao, are you really sure what you said just now?"

Cao Huachun bent down respectfully and said, "The prince has already been intimately approached the old slave's mansion. Can all this in front of him eliminate the prince's misunderstanding of the old slave? It seems that the old slave can only ask His Majesty to let the old slave retire and return home, so as not to be annoyed in front of the prince."

Cao Huachun said this on purpose. He knew very well that the more he said this, the more Chongzhen would feel that Zhu Cilang was suppressing Cao Huachun unreasonably, and the more he would be disgusted with Zhu Cilang.

Sure enough, Chongzhen had already frowned and said coldly: "Yan'er, don't continue to mess around. I have seen enough, go back to the palace!"

As he said that, Chongzhen turned around and was about to leave.

Looking at this scene, Cao Huachun couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth. He felt that he must have won this time.

The British Duke couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, wait! Listen to what the prince said first, and then make a decision."

Of course, the British Duke still prefers Zhu Ciyang.

After hearing what the British Duke said, Chongzhen took a stand and looked at Zhu Cixuan with dissatisfaction: "I'll see how you want to explain."

Zhu Cilang looked at Chongzhen and felt speechless.

No, I just saved the Ming Dynasty’s life and your country. This body is still your own son. Is your trust in me so poor?

Zhu Cilang was really speechless about Chongzhen.

You said that you were like this, no wonder the Ming Dynasty destroyed the country.

The Little Ice Age is a natural disaster, and you, Chongzhen, are man-made disasters!

With the deep complaints in his heart, Zhu Cilang calmly walked into the warehouse.

In this warehouse, in addition to the pillars and dust, there is a stone Buddha statue, and Zhu Cilang stood in front of the Buddha statue.

For some reason, after seeing this scene, Cao Huachun's expression suddenly became a little nervous.

Zhu Cixuan turned around and said lightly: "Eunuch Cao, can I ask you why this Buddha statue appears here?"

Cao Huachun hurriedly said, "Return to the prince, this is because I have always had the habit of worshiping Buddha, so I put a Buddha statue here, hoping that the Buddha statue can bless me with my wealth."

Zhu Cilang nodded and chuckled, "That's true. Things like worshiping Buddha and rituals and Taoism are quite popular among the families of the Ming Dynasty. No matter who sees Buddha statues in any family of officials, Taoism will not be surprising.

It is precisely because of this that many people will use these things as a cover-up to hide things that they don’t want others to see, such as…”

Speaking of this, Zhu Cilang walked behind the Buddha statue and pressed hard at a position under the buttocks of the Buddha statue.

The next moment, with a slight sound, the stone slab in front of the Buddha statue suddenly moved away, and a black entrance appeared in front of everyone.

This scene surprised everyone.

Zhu Cixuan walked out from behind the Buddha statue and looked at Cao Huachun with a smile: "Eunuch Cao, do you have anything to say now?"

Cao Huachun's face changed drastically and his body was shaking.

British Duke Zhang Shize was also stunned when he watched this scene, but he soon came to his senses: "Come on, come in and have a few people, go in and take a look!"

Soon several palace guards entered, and a moment later one guard hurriedly came up to report: "Your Majesty, there is a secret room below, with many boxes, each box full of cash silver!"

Soon, several heavy boxes were brought up and opened on the spot.

The silver ingot flashing with silver light appeared in front of everyone, reflecting the faces with different expressions.

Zhu Cixuan looked at Chongzhen and smiled and said, "Now, the father should believe what his son minister said?"

Chongzhen finally came to his senses, and then Boran was furious and slapped Cao Huachun to the ground.

"You are such a dog. I still believe in you so much. What else do you have to say now!"

Chongzhen was really angry.

You know, Chongzhen has always believed in Cao Huachun very much, even a few minutes ago.

But now, the facts have proved everything.

Cao Huachun is rich and has a lot of money, but he just doesn't want to give it to Chongzhen. He swears that he has no money, but he just doesn't want to take it out to save the Ming Dynasty's life!

The more Chongzhen thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but kick Cao Huachun a few more times.

Cao Huachun's face was as dark as he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "I know my mistake, but I know my mistake! Please spare my life when I see my Majesty for many years!"

Cao Huachun was really panicked now. The money was actually nothing. The most important thing was that this was the crime of deceiving the king.

The crime of deceiving the king is to be beheaded!

On the other side, Zhu Cilang had already walked down the entrance steps step by step and arrived at the bottom secret room.

This secret room is actually not too big, only twenty or thirty square meters, but it is filled with large boxes, which makes it quite wired where people can stand.

Zhu Cixuan took a casual look and found that the box was either full of silver ingots or some exquisitely designed gold and silver treasures.

It seems that Cao Huachun has indeed made a lot of money in recent years, but this is normal. This is the case in the Ming Dynasty in the middle and late periods. The treasury is so poor that it can starve mice to death, and the officials' families are all rich.

Some people say that in the late Ming Dynasty, the country was poor and the people were rich, that was fart. It was obvious that the country was poor and the people were poor, and the officials were rich and the business was rich!

At this moment, the system's voice sounded: "Congratulations to the host for completing the sign-in. The sign-in task is started: Please collect as much money as possible according to the new map in 48 hours. Five million is qualified. If it exceeds 10 million taels, there will be special rewards. It is recommended that the host work harder!"

After saying that, some maps appeared in Zhu Cilang's mind. Zhu Cilang took a brief look and found that there were at least hundreds of pictures, all of which were treasure houses of the Ming Dynasty's residences in the mansions of powerful ministers in Beijing.

And this is the first time I heard the special reward from the system, and it sounds a little bit looking forward to it.

Zhu Cixuan walked back to the ground with a happy mood and happened to hear Chongzhen's verdict on Cao Huachun.

Chongzhen looked at Cao Huachun with his eyes extremely cold.

For Chongzhen, he could tolerate the various shortcomings of his ministers, such as incompetence, stinginess, cowardice, etc., but deception - absolutely not possible!

At this moment, Wang Chengen, who had been silent all the time, suddenly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, Cao Huachun is the adopted father of a slave after all. Please spare his life for the sake of the slave."

Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen and his expression immediately moved.

Seeing this, Cao Huachun even begged for forgiveness loudly, and his forehead was bleeding.

Chongzhen hesitated for a moment, snorted heavily, and said coldly: "Cao Huachun deceived the king. I thought that you have been loyal to me for many years, so I would give up all your positions, confiscate all your property and houses, and go to the abolished palace to sweep the floor in the future!"

Cao Huachun felt like he was granted a general amnesty when he heard this, and he thanked him repeatedly.

For Cao Huachun, it is a blessing in disguise that he can survive after committing such a crime of deceiving the emperor.

Zhu Cilang narrowed his eyes and smiled.

The old guy Cao Huachun was finally removed from his official position, so he no longer had to worry about opening the city gate to surrender to Li Zicheng.

Zhu Cilang looked at Cao Huachun. Cao Huachun felt aware, but he lay on the ground, without even the courage to look at Zhu Cilang.

Cao Huachun was really afraid of Zhu Ciyang. Even a secret room hidden so deeply could be found. What else could Zhu Ciyang not do?

Even the Duke of England and Li Guozhen on the side looked at Zhu Cilang very surprised and admired.

They had never expected that such a secret room could be discovered by Zhu Cixuan.

Could this prince be a genius? Or is there someone behind him secretly informing Zhu Cixuan?

No matter which possibility is, Zhu Cilang's figure appears more mysterious and majestic in the eyes of the Duke of England and others.

Even there are signs of overtaking Emperor Chongzhen!

After thinking about it, Zhu Cilang suddenly smiled and said, "Father, since Cao Huachun has been removed from office, the position of the governor of the East Factory will be vacant. There is a person on the side of the son-in-law named Fang Gongqian, who can take over this position."

Dongchang was a place that was terrifying in the past, but during the Chongzhen dynasty, Dongchang actually had no sense of existence.

Zhu Ciyang thought this was not good. Dongchang and Jinyiwei were the emperor's minions. If the emperor's minions did not even have any deterrence, then who would take the emperor seriously?

Now, it’s time for Zhu Cixuan to correct this mistake!
