Chapter 1934 Thorough investigation of Zhu's case (2)

The officials of the Zhu family and the Li family are mostly in groups now. The time when the court was dominated by their two families is gone forever. Looking at today's posture, the officials of the Li family are also a little flustered.

No matter when it is always good to have a helper, the key is that if the Zhu family collapses, who can say that the next one will not be the Li family's turn?

This is definitely a very serious matter, and other things can be ignored, but the matter of the Zhu family's downfall must be taken up, otherwise the next one to fall may be the Li family.

So the officials of the Li family hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Zhu family has been loyal to Qiguo for many years. You must not let the Kaiguo family feel cold. Your Majesty, please think twice. Once the Zhu family is thoroughly investigated, it doesn't matter whether it is found out or not." If you come out, this is an insult to the old family, the emperor is just an internal affair between Prince Su's mansion and the Zhu family, let the two handle it, and the entire Zhu family must not be involved."

Many officials who were recruited by the Zhu family next to them took this opportunity and quickly said: "Please don't thoroughly investigate the Zhu family. This is a slap in the face for the old family. How can the Zhu family gain a foothold in the capital in the future?" what?"

These officials finally got the chance and hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty, please think twice, it is absolutely impossible at this time!"

Finally, the emperor's officials also spoke again, and the whole morning was messed up. Finally, the emperor said: "Okay, I have heard that I have almost understood some things this morning. What I want to say is that no matter whether it is an old family or a new The most important thing for dignitaries, or ordinary people, is to abide by the law, and within the scope of this freedom, I can let you enjoy the treatment you deserve,"

"But if you go beyond these, or you can't even do the most basic observance of rules and regulations, or you have even caused a big mess, and the people are in dire straits, then it's not a matter of who I give face to. , no matter who it is, no matter how capable it is, how much it has done for the country, but in the end, merits are merits and demerits, and merits and demerits cannot be offset. If you do well, you will be rewarded, and if you do not well, you will be punished."

"So everyone, listen carefully. In the future, the word "reward and punishment" will become the new normal of the Qiguo court. Therefore, the Zhu family's affairs have become too big. If I don't hurry up to deal with it, I'm afraid there will be big troubles too. Therefore, I ordered Prince Su and the six departments to thoroughly investigate the matter of the Zhu family, and give me a result within three days. As for the temporary closure of the streets and mansions of the Zhu family, the Zhu family in the capital cannot leave the city gate without a summons. All those involved in the thorough investigation of the Zhu family's case will be under martial law, and the Red Wing Guard will cooperate with your actions."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister receives the decree!" Prince Su and the six ministers knelt down to receive the decree.

The other officials of the Zhu family were a little dazed, and even more confused. Why did the wind change all of a sudden?

This is completely wrong. In the past, there was thunder and rain, but why did it become a storm this time? It's broken this time, it's really bad.

After the early dynasty, the capital became completely lively, because the emperor wanted to thoroughly investigate the Zhu family, and it was Prince Su and the six ministers who were investigating the case. This gave more people confidence, especially Prince Su and The six ministers said that they will work in Jing Zhaoyin. If there is evidence, anyone who wants to sue the Zhu family should go to Jing Zhaoyin.

As a result, the entire Zhu family was under martial law, and people related to the Zhu family, such as the Lou family, have all been put under surveillance, and the people who were hiding in the dark and paying attention to the Zhu family smashed a lot of things to vent their anger, stupid. Stupid, stupid Zhu family lost in such an inconspicuous matter, really stupid.

At this time, the Zhu family had just heard about the rumors, and the Zhu family naturally had their special channel of transmission. If the Zhu family had started to arrange it last night, the effect would probably be better, but now that such things have happened in the early morning, the effect will be greatly reduced. up.

It would be nice to have a little effect, so there are many people in the Zhu family's study at this time, and the elder of the Zhu family has also come, but he just can't help him, and what he says is useless.

Only Zhu Zhe looked like he was in a lawsuit, and said to the old man of the Zhu family: "Grandfather, I'm afraid this time things are not good. These shrimp soldiers and crab generals dare to betray our Zhu family. If we knew it, we would have punished them long ago, so don't worry about it." They defected today and harmed our Zhu family, it is really extremely hateful."

Zhu Zhe slammed his fist on the table case, and there was a mark on the table case immediately. Zhu Zhe knew that this time it might be too serious, so he said quickly: "Grandfather, we can't hesitate anymore, let's get in touch."

The old man of the Zhu family is no longer as calm as before. Now he is very shocked. This time things seem to be ordinary, and even the Zhu family can have two fights every year. How can there be few impeachment of the Zhu family in a year, but now There is clearly a problem, and it's not a small problem.

What these people mean now is that they will be happy if the building suppressed by the Zhu family will collapse, so the old master of the Zhu family thought for a while and said: "You should handle this matter of Zhu Zhe, I am afraid that our Zhu family will not be able to hide so easily this time. Yes, grandfather will write a letter now, but it must be passed on through a special channel, and it may be difficult if it falls into the hands of others."

The old man of the Zhu family immediately wrote quickly, but he only drew a few simple pictures on a piece of paper, without writing a single word.

After the Zhu family's superstition was spread, it was immediately intercepted by the Prince Su's mansion, but no one could guess what the painting meant, so it would be more troublesome, not a single word was written, and the flowers were only a few small words. Animals and paintings, how will code words be guessed and deciphered?

Prince Su and Song Feng, the six ministers, were a little helpless. Just when Siyang came over at this moment, he saw the secret letter and said, "Father, why don't you ask my son to show it to Qiu Chun, maybe I can learn something."

Prince Su suddenly realized that there is still one closed in the mansion, so he immediately asked Siyang to take the secret letter away. Siyang hurried back to the mansion. Now Prince Su’s mansion is being remodeled, and the surrounding winter is too bad The movements in the inner courtyard can be slightly changed, mainly to welcome the return of Prince Su and Princess Su. Originally, the main courtyard of Prince Su and Princess Su was re-arranged, so Qinhui prepared for it these days. The new year's shopping street on the first pedestrian street opened, and on the other hand, it was preparing things for the mother and concubine to return home.

Seeing Siyang come back in a hurry, Qinhui asked: "What's the matter, how is the evidence collection at Zhu's house?"

Siyang took out the note from the secret letter and said, "I'm going to the dungeon, Qiu Chun may have a way to know what these are."

Qin Hui said: "Then hurry up and leave the affairs of the mansion to me."

Siyang left quickly, but Qinhui was wondering what those simple paintings meant?What can it represent?

When Siyang saw Qiu Chun, Qiu Chun was also a little embarrassed and said: "Little prince, the level of this secret letter is relatively high, I can probably understand a little bit of meaning, but I can't decipher all of it."

Siyang's eyes brightened and said: "It doesn't matter, you can probably know as much as you want, as long as it is not completely wrong."

Qiu Chun said: "This is indeed the Echo Gate's message transmission method, but it seems that there is something different. I probably understand the meaning of this: please protect the Zhu family so that the next step can go smoothly. That’s roughly what it means, but I’m not very clear about the specifics.”

"The Echo Gate's message transmission is the simpler the more difficult it is to transmit the message. I can't talk nonsense just by guessing, but this level is very high. I can be sure. I have never seen this kind of thing, so please be more careful, my little prince. , Maybe there are people in the capital who are united with the Echo Gate, because this secret letter is not entirely the method of the Echo Gate, please ask the little prince to confirm it."

Qiu Chunneng said that these were good enough, so Siyang didn't delay, and went to Jingzhao Yin as soon as possible, and saw the father and told the actual situation, but after a while, there were more and more people watching Zhu's family in the dark Few, many of them have already stood guard in places such as flower beds in front of and behind Zhu's house.

Beware of Zhu's dog jumping over the wall and running away, it will be a big deal to catch him then.

The emperor also received the news, and immediately ordered to go on, since the Zhu family can't wait, then the two sides must not waste time competing, so no matter how the situation is tomorrow morning, how many crimes there are, they must be presented, even if they are not enough, they can be added.

Therefore, the day was extremely intense. By the end of the night, Jing Zhaoyin had accumulated thousands of cases, but the most serious crime was buying and selling officials. The account that was searched and the booklet that came out after cleaning up the things in Concubine Zhu's house contained everything in it. No matter what the other crimes were, buying and selling officials was enough.

The Zhu family was also struggling fiercely. The aunts of the Zhu family wanted to go out to show their husband's family some color, but they were all stopped by the Imperial Forest Army.

The group of aunts and grandmothers couldn't get out, so they began to curse and curse. In short, the Zhu family's inner house was in chaos, but this was just to cover up the quietness of the Zhu family's study.

The atmosphere in Zhu's study was very stagnant, and Zhu Zhe was already in a hurry. There must have been a reply within three hours to the news sent out, why not this time?

The key is what if it is intercepted?

Zhu Zhe talked about his worries, and the old master Zhu said: "Don't be anxious, remember that when things happen, anxiety and haste will mess up the source of the rules. When it comes to this kind of time, our Zhu family can't be chaotic. Don't worry, someone will go to the gate of the palace tomorrow morning to ask for orders from our Zhu family. Even if the secret letter doesn't arrive, grandfather won't worry. Even if it is intercepted, what can a few paintings and flowers prove? What can it explain? So don't worry, our Zhu family will not collapse, never!"
