Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 1287 Rumors
I want to blame him for everything, and I am really full.

Besides, even if this matter belongs to them, there is no need for him to talk nonsense here.

Master Deng obviously didn't expect that Song Zhongan would say that, and he was immediately speechless.

If this matter is really taken seriously, it is really not the matter of Jiumen, but the matter of Shuntian Fuyin. The reason why he mentioned Jiumen is that he thinks that the current situation has endangered the emperor's reputation, and Jiumen Men need to be responsible to the emperor.

The rumors have been circulating for more than a day, but there is still no response. This is very abnormal.

He was already wondering if Jiumen had deliberately not let this news come in.

Otherwise, the emperor should have investigated this matter thoroughly.

But now that Song Zhongan said this, it really seemed like he was deliberately looking for trouble... and this was what the emperor hated the most.

For a moment, Mr. Deng was in a dilemma.

The emperor, who was looking at the superior, looked as usual when he heard what the two of them said, as if he really didn't take this matter to heart.

The courtroom was eerily quiet.

But compared to Master Deng's anxiety, Song Zhongan seemed much calmer.

Cang Muchen spoke slowly.

"Master Deng, Master Song has been investigating this matter for a long time. Perhaps Master Deng was too absorbed in official duties and did not notice it."

This sentence was like a thunder striking Master Deng's heart.

The emperor said this...

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

Master Deng immediately knelt down, never expecting such a result.

Others in the court also cast sympathetic glances at him. They had actually heard about this matter, but Master Song did not make much noise during his investigation.

What Lord Deng Jin said today was actually what other people present wanted to say, but they had no intention of directly enmity with Song Zhongan.

Lord Deng is in trouble this time.

"Master Deng cares about me, what's the crime? Since Master Deng is so concerned about this matter, I will also hand over this matter to Master Deng for investigation and see who of you can investigate the results for me first."

Lord Deng took a deep breath after hearing this, and finally understood what it means to shoot oneself in the foot. As a civil servant, he didn't have many available people, so it would be extremely difficult to investigate this matter.

But the emperor's eloquent words are the imperial edict. If he refuses, he will be rebelling against the edict!
If you don't respect the order, your life will be in danger.

Master Deng responded to the emperor's request, but he hated Song Zhongan to the core. Since he was already investigating the matter, why did he keep it a secret?

Could it be that... you were just setting a trap for him?

Once such an idea appears, nothing can overturn it. The more Mr. Deng thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. He secretly vowed to find a chance to make Song Zhongan look good.

What Song Zhongan is best at is figuring out other people's thoughts, which has also been the biggest helper for his secret activities for so many years. Lord Deng's idea is not difficult to guess at all, but he is really curious about what this Lord Deng can do.

After leaving the palace and getting on his carriage, Mr. Deng looked dejected. This matter was really beyond his ability, but he was also thinking that if he could find help to solve this matter in Song Dynasty, If it is settled between Zhong An, then the emperor will look at him with admiration.He has been in this position for five full years. Every year during the official assessment, he falls just a little bit short. Maybe... this time is also his turning point.

After returning home, Mr. Deng called all the candidates he had finalized on the way back to discuss.

"If we can handle this matter, promotion and wealth will be inevitable. Do you have any good ideas?"

Almost every official has his own retainers or allies in the court, and Mr. Deng is no exception. This time he found his own allies first.

But strictly speaking, it was not an alliance. The people he found had lower official positions than him. At best, they could only be regarded as people who were on the same line with him, and they all fawned over Lord Deng.

It's just that these people are slightly more than Lord Deng and can be mobilized. Although they are all second-in-commands, it is better than none.

So for these people, getting promoted and making a fortune is what they hope for most. People want to go to higher places.

"Sir, the most important thing for us now is to stop the spread of rumors, so that we can investigate this matter clearly in a shorter time."

When something like this happens, everyone knows that they have to investigate from the source, but where the source is is the most difficult thing. Now they can't find the source at all for a while, so the only thing they can do is We must first stop this matter from expanding further.

At the moment, he is still in Shangjing City. If word spreads that he is going to Shangjing City, there may be big trouble.

But his proposal was rejected by Lord Deng as soon as it came out.

"Whether this news will spread to the capital has nothing to do with us, we just need to investigate."

He hoped that word would spread that he went to the capital, so that Song Zhongan would be responsible.

At that time, it depends on how he quibbles.

But other people were in trouble, "Sir, if this matter is not heavily deterred first, it will be difficult to find the source."

If they don't cut it off first and let the rumors continue to spread, it will only take them longer. In this way, Song Zhongan will definitely have the upper hand.

"Go and do what I say first, and then we'll talk about the rest."

Not only did he want to resolve this matter, he also wanted to use it to attack Song Zhongan.

The people below wanted to say more, but seeing Master Deng's insistence, they couldn't say anything else.

Watching them leave, Mr. Deng was not worried that it was false, but Song Zhongan had been investigating for several days, and hadn't he not solved the problem of the rumors continuing to spread?
It's just that Lord Deng didn't expect that the rumors would spread faster and faster. Almost everyone in the streets and alleys was talking about this matter. Even if they didn't dare to mention the current emperor, everyone could understand it secretly. of.

Mrs. Deng also knew that Mr. Deng had accepted this errand. They were also panicked when they heard that the rumors continued to spread.

After all, doing things with the emperor has two sides. If you do it well, you will be promoted and make a fortune, but if you do it poorly, you will lose your glory and wealth.

After living a wealthy life for most of my life, I only want to be richer.

The two of them were wandering outside today, and they could hear this happening wherever they went. The mother and daughter pretended not to hear it at first, but unexpectedly, the maids around them became more and more curious.

When the two of them were not paying attention, the maids behind them began to whisper these things. Mrs. Deng turned around suddenly, and the maids were all frightened.

"What are you guilty of!"
