Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 191 The evidence is here!

Xu Mansion.

They had known the news from the outside world for a long time, and the entire mansion was immediately panicked.

Xu Huizu quickly found Xu Da and seemed to have thousands of questions to ask, but Xu Da did not speak, but signaled Xu Huizu's brothers and sisters not to panic.

However, Xu Huizu still couldn't hide his anger.

"Dad, they listened to the rumors and it was clear that they came against us. I have heard the news. The Sansi people did not mobilize forces like this in other mansions, but here you are asked to meet them in person. Who do they think they are? ?”

Xu Yingxu said: "I can't hide this matter from eldest sister. I will go to the palace to find eldest sister."

"Need not!"

Xu Da stopped his son and said, "You don't need to involve your eldest sister in this matter. I'll go outside and take a look for my father."

Xu Da was still calm.

However, this situation was only short-lived. After waiting for a while, they gradually adapted to the situation and gradually began to take action.

"General Xu..."

"Good question, General Xu."

Many servants just looked at them, and all the servants felt their calves trembling from time to time.

Zhao Ting spoke softly and formally began to narrate.

As soon as he finished speaking, a scene appeared that made everyone stunned. The officers behind him looked at each other, and no one dared to take a step immediately.

"Just tell me what you have to say."

"Just a few days ago, some colored glaze appeared in the West Market of the capital. Of course, General Xu doesn't need to pay attention to these things, but in this West Market, counterfeit banknotes suddenly appeared."

He waved his hand and looked at everyone, "Check!"

Everyone almost felt a chill when they looked into his eyes.

Xu Da looked at a few people and said nothing.

Seeing the other party walking out, several voices sounded almost at the same time. Although there were differences in names, Xu Da obviously did not notice these, but looked directly at these people.

however.

Finally, after a sharp shout, several people slowly moved their steps and entered the Xu Mansion directly.

At this point, there is no need to continue talking, and the people of the three divisions are watching eagerly.

"What do you want to do when you come to my Xu Mansion?"

"Everyone knew throughout the whole process that there was someone else behind this case."

At this moment, outside Xu Mansion.

Such an action also made them dare not take action, but after reacting, Zhao Ting of Dali Temple was the first to recall it.

Let's get straight to the point, "What does this have to do with my Xu Mansion?"

According to the plan, if the Duke insisted on blocking it, they would not only have to present the Prime Minister's order, but also His Majesty's personal permission. In this way, they can officially enter and start investigating.

Xu Da's eyes narrowed.

After looking at each other for a long time, just when everyone thought this conversation would continue.

In his opinion, he had just met His Majesty and the latter had already said those words.

Everyone was talking a lot and kept waiting. While they had different thoughts, they also looked at the mansion in front of them. Finally, when Xu Da walked out of the door, everyone's nervousness even reached its peak.

Xu Da looked at the people in front of him and was still thinking about things. He was usually taciturn and didn't like to continue.

"Wei Guogong!"

However, as soon as they entered the mansion, they felt a chill coming from their hearts.

Who would have known that Xu Da would suddenly give up his position at the next moment. The meaning is obvious. Since you want to investigate, let you do it.

Zhao Tingdao:
"In the past few days, Dali Temple and Yushitai have been investigating this matter. However, after everyone has checked, there is still no news. There are only a few people left. These young masters in your house, It’s in it.”

This situation made several people look a little unhappy.

Shen Liben, the Minister of Punishment, said bluntly.

Several brothers wanted to speak, but were stopped by Xu Da, who immediately strode outside.

"However, the person behind this is extremely cunning. The Prime Minister went to check it again and again, but there was no news of counterfeit banknotes. General Xu should know this, right?"

"Currently, the printing plate case is in a stalemate. General Xu also knows how attractive this news is to us."

Zhao Ting, the young minister of Dali Temple, smiled at first and then said seriously:
"If there is nothing serious, I would not dare to delay General Xu. However, in the past few days... to be precise, from last year to now, the entire imperial court has been checking the printing case. This case involves a lot of people. His Majesty personally handed over this important task to Prime Minister."

Logically speaking, these problems should not arise now.

"What are you still doing? Go check it out for me!"

After all, this matter involves a prince.

"Wei Guogong is indeed a straightforward person. In this case, we will speak frankly."

"More than half a year has passed, and the largest person found is Jiangxi Province's third-level political candidate."

Under Xu Da's order, no servant dared to stop him at this time. Even Xu Huizu and the others could only hold back their temper and swallow this matter in their stomachs.

But at this moment, when everyone in the outside world looked at this scene, their emotions became mixed, ranging from excitement and hesitation to shock and anger.

What shocked them was that someone could actually enter the residence of the most noble person in the country and start searching. They also felt extremely scared. After all, even fools knew what this signal meant and how much information was released.

The personnel of the Third Division just now made it very clear that this matter was not only approved by the Prime Minister, but also secretly His Majesty's intention. If you really think about it...

hiss!
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel an even greater chill.

I'm afraid it's really like the recent rumors in Beijing.

The reason behind this incident was His Majesty's deliberate action.

In an instant, everyone lost all interest in watching the fun and just wanted to leave quickly. However, with such a big thing right in front of them, even if curiosity kills the cat, they don't want to leave.

Besides, this matter has nothing to do with ordinary people like them. Just watching the excitement outside, what does it mean? While thinking about it, they also started waiting outside.

Xu Da kept watching. During this period, he did not show any such behavior. To outsiders, it was obvious that he had accepted his fate.

The search continues.

……

At this moment, inside the palace

King Yan Zhu Di walked very fast, taking three steps and two steps at a time. After coming out of King Yan's palace, he headed straight towards Qianqing Palace where his father lived.

Behind him, Xu Miaoyun also followed him, deliberately trying to stop him, but his outstretched hands were quickly avoided by Zhu Di in front, and in the end he could only trot to keep up.

All the way to Qianqing Palace, I didn't find any trace of my father. I turned around and went directly to Jinshen Palace, but I didn't see my father either.

He asked several eunuchs, but they were hesitant and dared not tell him anything. Seeing this, Zhu Di already understood that his father was deliberately avoiding him. But why?
Not long ago, my father was patting his chest and telling himself, and he even told his father-in-law.

My father-in-law is the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. Even if he becomes a vassal, doesn't he still need someone to protect him? Could it be that if he directly entered the unruly generals in Peiping, they would immediately surrender to him? It was simply a dream!

It is impossible for my father not to know about such a simple thing, but now that he knows, how can such a thing happen outside today?

What a joke, the prince of a country is actually involved in the so-called counterfeit banknote case?
This clearly shows that someone is deliberately framing He Huang. Are they really pretending not to see it?

After searching the entire palace for a long time, he still couldn't find it. Zhu Di was already heartbroken. He knew that his father had done this deliberately.

In just one hour, he himself thought a lot. If he continued, what would the guards generals far away in Peiping think?
But no one answered him, just as the entire palace was silent now.

Everything seems to be happening in silence, and it has spread everywhere from unknown angles.

He has already guessed what his father is thinking. He wants to find his eldest brother. Now only his eldest brother knows where his father is, and only in this way can his father see him.

"Your Highness, maybe this is just a question, and there is no need to mobilize so many people."

At this moment, Xu Miaoyun finally spoke.

She herself didn't want to see His Majesty, but now that things had developed to this point, she was already somewhat prepared. As long as it doesn't get to the worst, there is always a chance of improvement.

Not to mention, she always felt that this happened too suddenly, and there must be something fishy about it.

However, these words cannot persuade Zhu Di now.

The latter might want to give herself an explanation, or might want to stop herself from being too anxious, so she acted like this. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little comforted in her heart.

After searching in the palace for a long time, he even went to look for his eldest brother immediately, but he couldn't even find him.

This was the first time he encountered this situation, and he became more and more anxious. It was almost time for the sun to set. In the end, Zhu Di still couldn't find Zhu Yuanzhang.

And just when he was about to give up.

Soon, a piece of news came again.

The evidence has been found!

……

At the same time, Xu Mansion.

After all, it is the residence of the Duke of a country. Despite various orders, these officers still did not act like they were searching the homes of ordinary people.

They carefully entered various places to check, not even entering some inner courtyards. They just conducted random searches. With this level of inspection, it was obvious that nothing would be found in the first search.

And for this, everyone is mentally prepared.

After all, this matter will definitely have to go through a formality, and it may even come down to it three or four times, and His Majesty will have to speak in person, and let a certain His Highness or a pro-military captain enter the mansion to rummage through the boxes and cabinets.

So after completing the first stage of the process, many people are ready to leave.

Someone even went out immediately to report to the Third Division.

In this regard, Zhao Ting and Shen Liben looked at each other. After they nodded silently, they were ready to interrupt first, and then claimed to have grasped some clues before leaving. They would amplify the matter during the meeting tomorrow and wait for His Majesty to express his position.

However, everything is ready.

As a result, just when they were about to leave, one of the Dali Temple servants, for some reason, suddenly came to the gatekeeper of Xu Mansion.

Since the servants, including the concierge, had been standing in the yard early, staring at the guards, they did not dare to take action. In this strange stalemate, everyone was ready to disperse.

But suddenly...

"found it!"

As an extremely exciting voice resounded, almost everyone's attention was attracted to it.

Everyone followed the sound and saw a government official walking quickly, holding a wooden box in his hand.

Halfway through, he opened the box.

This seems to prove that this thing was found inside.

When he saw him for the first time, one of the servants, a strong man in his forties who had lost half of his arm, opened his eyes wide and his breathing became rapid.

"My lord, I found it."

The officer hurriedly ran out and took out all the contents of the box. Still in full public view, everyone saw the contents for the first time——

Treasure money!

Ming Dynasty treasure banknote!

Everyone's eyes widened immediately. Even before he reached the door, Zhao Ting strode towards the other party, grabbed them with both hands, and took them directly from the other party's hand.

"Quick, quick, quick, people from Chaojingyuan come here, look..."

Soon, following the three groups of people, several people wearing different clothes carefully took the treasure notes and looked at them carefully for a long time.

At this moment, everyone looked at this sudden scene and couldn't help but feel shocked.

Really found it?
It's just that this situation seems a bit weird no matter how you look at it, but everyone didn't say anything for the first time and continued to watch.

Finally I don’t know how long it took.

"It's fake, it's fake! It's all fake!"

The sound sounded three times in a row, almost at the same moment, and everyone's heart was beating fast.

Shen Liben, the Minister of Punishment, and Chen Ning, the imperial censor, moved quickly.

The three of them arrived almost immediately.

"Real or false?"

After checking for a long time, the guard was obviously very excited now.

"It's just fake, everything is fake!"

Swish!
Hearing such a voice of certainty again, this moment.

The atmosphere became increasingly silent, and the people around him once again fell into a state of silence.

Just before, everyone thought that this might be a suppression of the Xu family. After all, this is common sense in history. Even some people in the market who are not literate can tell a story just by listening to some storytellers. Come two or three.

However, no one expected that this fact was actually before their eyes.

Xu Huizu's eyes were blank, not just him, but also several brothers and sisters of the Xu family.

Now that you look at me and I look at you, you can't find anything in their blank eyes.

In the end, the confused people could only look at their father.

After the initial shock, Xu Da quickly came back to his senses. He first looked at the concierge, and then saw a certain figure in the group of servants, feeling a little puzzled.

It's just this kind of thing, I haven't waited for him to react and ask.

Zhao Ting looked at everyone seriously and announced in a loud voice: "Here is the evidence of the crime!"
