Jinyi champion

Zhu Hao first asked Zhu Chen to take care of the arsonist, and he had to interrogate himself, and then he explained the priority of the matter to Zhu Si alone.

"...If His Majesty wants to investigate to the end, if Queen Mother Zhang and Elder Yang Ge are found, how will this matter end?"

Talking to Zhu Si in private, Zhu Hao doesn't need to worry about anything.

Zhu Si resolutely said: "If they really did it, I don't want to tolerate it."

Zhu Hao shook his head: "But they didn't really hurt the Empress Dowager, and they didn't have the intention of murdering His Majesty. If the matter is exposed, what should they do if they jump over the wall and join forces to discuss the matter of abolishing the establishment?"

Zhu Si was really frightened.

Although at this time Zhu Si is confident that he has firmly secured the throne, and he appears to be very strong in front of others, but he has no confidence in front of Zhu Hao, a friend who knows everything. Great situation.

"Although the chances of this are not high, Yichen thinks that if we are in a hurry, there is still the possibility that the Empress Dowager Zhang and Mr. Yang Ge will abolish the establishment without authorization. Ruthless hands, then it may really be a battle of life and death."

Zhu Hao spoke eloquently.

There was a murderous look in Zhu Si's eyes: "Then can't I take the initiative?"

"inappropriate."

Zhu Hao categorically denied Zhu Si's idea, "Secretly harming others, if it is exposed, it will be true, murdering ministers and stepmothers, this is a serious crime that violates the law of filial piety, righteousness and etiquette. Saying...is an excellent opportunity. It is extremely unfavorable to us, and it is absolutely impossible to come to this point now."

Zhu Sidao: "Then what do you mean, don't investigate?"

Zhu Hao smiled and shook his head: "We need to investigate, but it depends on how to investigate... We have to put the blame on a person we don't like, and the courtiers don't like it, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation."

"Who?"

Zhu Si was dumbfounded.

Instead of finding out the culprit and questioning an irrelevant person?

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think of the Marquis of Shouning and Marquis of Jianchang?"

Zhu Si thought about it for a while, then shook his head and said, "The two of them...I really hate them, but if they are framed...it can't be called a framed frame. In short, the blame is on them. Can Queen Mother Zhang agree?"

In front of his friends, Zhu Si imitated Zhu Hao's address to Empress Dowager Zhang as the difference between the two empress dowagers.

Zhu Haodao: "We have to investigate to the end. No one wants to see this scene. If the blame is only on these two people... we won't say who they are. We just dismissed them for this reason. The empress dowager and his brothers can only suffer from being dumb... The purpose of launching a scapegoat is to take the blame."

Zhu Si shook his head, expressing that he still didn't quite understand.

"Let's put it this way, Queen Mother Zhang may or may not have instigated this matter, but if Queen Mother Zhang really did it, she naturally hopes that someone will come out as a scapegoat, and she doesn't want the case to be investigated to the end. As long as the punishment is not too severe, Empress Dowager Zhang will gladly accept it."

"Ah."

Zhu Si finally agreed.

"If this matter has nothing to do with Queen Mother Zhang, and His Majesty finds out about the brothers of the Zhang family, everyone in the court will think that it was the two brothers who did it, not to mention who the Zhang family is. The two brothers themselves will doubt each other, because each other Knowing too deeply, I feel that the other party is such a mischievous character."...

When Zhu Hao said this, Zhu Si's eyes lit up.

The Zhang family brothers are simply the best candidates to take the blame. Either way, it is best to push them out to take responsibility.

Zhu Hao continued: "We can't investigate to the end, because we are afraid of finding out about Empress Dowager Zhang and Elder Yang Ge, and it will not end well, but we can't let this go, so we have to find the Zhang family brothers to come out as the scapegoat. No matter who If you do, in short, you can take the opportunity to get the two of his brothers down, which is the harvest!"

Zhu Si swept away the previous gloom, and said with a smile: "Listening to some of your words really makes me feel much more comfortable than listening to others, and I think so too, just check it out. I will leave this matter to you!"

……

……

Zhu Si went back to the palace.

Zhu Hao personally sent him away, and then started to investigate and deal with the arson.

When Tang Yin heard the news and rushed back, Zhu Si had already left, Tang Yin said nervously: "This matter is not small, you can't mess around."

Even Tang Yin could see that the instigator behind this incident was too powerful. After all, he could instruct a maid to set fire to the palace. In addition, it seems that no one else can think of it.

Zhu Hao nodded: "I've already made an agreement with His Majesty, but I can't find the key person."

"It's good that you have a sense of proportion, I'm afraid that you will take the opportunity to make things worse." Tang Yin sighed, implying that he was still worried about Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao joked with Tang Yin with a smile, and then accompanied by Lu Song, he went to the Fusi Yamen in Jinyiwei North Town.

Because of the seriousness of the case, the news might have been leaked, so Zhu Hao had to disguise himself and change into the clothes of Jinyi Xiaoxiao, instead of going through the main entrance of Beizhen Fusi, he had to enter through the side entrance.

……

……

Zhu Hao was able to make Zhu Si agree to make the major incident smaller, and put the blame on the two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, taking advantage of Zhu Si's fear.

In the past, Zhu Si might carry it to the end.

But this time someone set fire to the palace, and most people in the palace were under the control of Empress Dowager Zhang. Zhu Si naturally had to think about the safety of himself and his mother, so he had to agree with Zhu Hao's strategy of finding a scapegoat.

Moreover, it is also a victory for Zhu Si to kill the Zhang family brothers at once.

What else could it be?

Really implicate Queen Mother Zhang and let his fake son fall into a state of injustice?How will Empress Dowager Jiang stand then?Will Queen Mother Zhang have the idea of ​​abolishing his adopted son's throne?
With the appeal of Empress Dowager Zhang in the court, the heads of the six palaces of the Hongzhi and Zhengde dynasties, as well as the support of Xungui and Yang Tinghe...

During this period of the first year of Jiajing, Empress Dowager Zhang is definitely qualified to abolish the emperor, it just depends on the success rate.

You can't push Queen Mother Zhang into a hurry, in short, you can't kill the fish and break the net.

Under this premise, it was much easier for Zhu Hao to interrogate the court lady involved.

When Zhu Hao arrived at Beizhen Fusi, Zhu Chen and Luo An were both there.

This case involves arson in the palace, which is equivalent to treason. In addition, it involves the personal safety of the Empress Dowager Jiang. Even Zhu Chen knows that he cannot bear this responsibility. Now Zhu Hao is going to review the case. relief.

"Call out all the irrelevant people, just keep a few of us."...

Zhu Hao gave Zhu Chen an order.

The implication is that no observers are allowed, except for you, Zhu Chen, Luo An and Lu Song, all the others will leave. This is a secret interrogation, and nothing can be leaked to the outside world.

Zhu Chen clasped his fists: "The humble job understands."

In front of Zhu Hao, Zhu Chen also bowed his head, as if Zhu Hao was the real head of Jin Yiwei.

Although Zhu Hao would only appear in the Jinyiwei Office when major incidents occurred, but as long as Zhu Hao came, it must be Zhu Hao who presided over everything.

Not only Zhu Chen, but Luo An and Lu Song are also afraid that the eucalyptus will be involved in the Empress Dowager Zhang or other big figures who cannot afford to be offended. To prevent leaks, irrelevant people must be avoided.

They didn't know that Zhu Hao's purpose was only to frame the Zhang family brothers.

……

……

In Beizhen Fusi Gongtang, two court ladies knelt below.

They are not very old, and they all look in their twenties. One of them has blond hair and blue eyes. He doesn't look like a Central Plains person. He is probably a foreign rebellion. He was captured by officers and soldiers and sent to the palace because of his beauty, just like Emperor Hongzhi's biological mother back then. Empress Dowager Ji is average.

The court really doesn't need too many people. The two court ladies basically have no ability to resist. As long as Lu Song stands behind them with a knife in hand, all accidents can be prevented.

Zhu Hao walked down from the hall without covering his face, not afraid of being seen by the two court ladies.

No matter what, the two girls would definitely die, even if they obeyed, Zhu Hao couldn't keep them.

Zhu Hao walked directly in front of the second daughter: "Raise your head!"

The second daughter raised her head tremblingly, and when she saw a young man with a handsome face in front of her, she seemed to see the hope of life.

Maybe they regarded Zhu Hao as a little eunuch sent by the palace, or they were ordered to take them out of the prison... They didn't know what yamen they were in, they just thought that they were arrested for doing something wrong, and a little The punishment may be that they will be released after receiving a board.

Zhu Hao asked: "Before, you were the ones who set fire to the palace, right? Lu Qianhu, bring out the evidence."

From a nearby tray covered with a black cloth, Lu Song threw the booklet and a few torn books used by the second maid to set fire to the second daughter, and the torn books were half burnt.

"The curtains were on fire. Fortunately, the fire was put out in time, otherwise the entire palace might have been burned down. If a fire broke out in the palace... Tsk tsk, let alone death or death, it is a loss. I'm afraid it's not something you two can afford. ?" Zhu Hao's trial seemed slow, as if he was trying to reason with the criminal.

"My lord, please forgive me!
"

The second daughter kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, and felt a wave of fear in her heart. It seemed that hitting the board could not solve the problem at the moment, and she tended to develop in the direction of capital crime.

Zhu Hao picked up the half-burnt book on the ground, flipped through it casually, and said, "I don't care about your lives, and I don't care who ordered you, because I know, even if I don't go Cha, the person who instructed you behind the scenes is probably going to kill himself now, such as taking poison, or hanging himself!"

Zhu Hao didn't scare the second daughter.

Because in Zhu Chen's previous preliminary trial, he had already found out that the instigator behind it was the eunuch in the palace.

And the real culprit probably didn't expect the two little maids to keep the secret, so the middleman was the most unlucky.

If you find that you have failed, you can only kill yourself.

Kang Chi's death was actually to avoid implicating his family members. Once he died, if the case could not be investigated, maybe the family members could be saved...the culprit behind it could also help.

The second daughter listened.

What's happening here?
We haven't confessed the person behind the scenes, and that person is already dead?Then...wouldn't we be more likely to die?
"My lord, spare my life! Spare me!"

The two maids shouted and kowtowed desperately, making a "bang bang" sound.
