back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 544 Troubleshooting
"That's right..." Gao Hao sighed, "I've never seen His Majesty like this before, and it must have happened. Director Xu, do you know what's going on?"

Xu Jingchun was taken aback. During this period of time, what else could Lu Chengqi care about other than the case of child abduction and trafficking?This is a human trafficker lurking in the court of Dashun, and his forces spread all over Kuizhou Road, Zizhou Road, Guangnan West Road, Guangnan East Road and Fujian Road.Except for the affluent Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, this almost secretly controls most of the south.Such a character, in the eyes of the emperor, is really a thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh, not getting rid of the discomfort!
This is something that even a three-year-old child knows, and Xu Jingchun has long thought of it.If it was just a human trafficker, Lu Chengqi would not be so concerned. At most, he would send an official from the Ministry of Punishment, or the Minister of Dali Temple to investigate thoroughly.Lu Chengqi did the same thing before, but the plot took a turn for the worse, and the black hands behind this scene turned out to be the court ministers.In this way, can Lu Chengqi not care, can he not be frightened?In case this person escapes, goes to Kuizhou Road, Zizhou Road or any other road, and pulls up the anti-flag, Dashun will fall into civil strife again.

Xu Jingchun used to be a frontier soldier and was most sensitive to war.Dashun's mortal enemy, the Liao Kingdom, had just succumbed. If there were civil strife, maybe the Liao Kingdom would follow suit and launch a surprise attack on Dashun.Under internal and external troubles, it is even more difficult to stabilize the court situation.

Xu Jingchun understood Lu Chengqi very well, unless it was absolutely necessary, Lu Chengqi would not let his country fall into such a situation.He should be fully prepared and hit with one hit in order to meet expectations.So hearing Gao Gao's question, Xu Jingchun immediately became vigilant: "Eunuch Gao, I don't know either!"

Gao Hao didn't take it seriously, he didn't have the mind to think about the filth among these courtiers, he just wanted to serve Lu Chengqi well.To be able to be the emperor's personal eunuch, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was already a high-ranking job, that is, the eunuch reached the peak all the way.However, Gao Hao is still young, which makes people look down on him.If he makes a mistake, I don't know how many people will applaud him!

So Gao Hao lives in a state of nervous tension every day, taking every step carefully, for fear of doing something wrong.Whatever Lu Chengqi wanted to do, he tried his best to do it, just like today.It was precisely because of this that Lu Chengqi felt that he could be of great use, and continued to keep him as his personal eunuch.

The two changed the topic, chatted about other things, and soon arrived at Dashun Palace.After entering from the Xuande Gate, through the long corridor, you will be outside the gate of the Chuigong Temple.Gao Hao stopped Xu Jingchun, and said in a low voice, "Director Xu, just wait here and wait for our family to report to His Majesty."

"Thank you, Eunuch!" Xu Jingchun didn't dare not give him face, after all, everyone is a celebrity in front of the emperor, but after all, Gao Gao often accompanied Lu Chengqi, if he said something bad about him, wouldn't it be asking for trouble?
Seeing the back of Gao Gao leaving, Xu Jingchun was thinking, what was in the secret report that Lu Chengqi saw?Is it a real name, or just some clues?

Before Chou Yinmao could come up with a man, Gao Hao came out: "Xu Jingchun, Director of Propaganda and Supervision, has an audience!"

"Thank you, father-in-law!" Gao Hao said with a proud face, "Your Majesty is very anxious. Director Xu must be prepared!"

Xu Jingchun cupped his hands again before stepping into the Chuigong Hall.Sure enough, Lu Chengqi really walked around, looking uncertain.

"Minister Xu Jingchun sees His Majesty!"

Xu Jingchun didn't dare to be short of etiquette, the worst thing to do in the imperial court was that he would not have the etiquette.If there is a lack of etiquette, people will say that they are domineering, and the emperor will keep it in mind.It is your momentary inadvertent mistake, but you have lost the emperor's trust in vain, and it is not worth it.Xu Jingchun didn't know how to flatter, so he had to do enough etiquette so that people would be less criticized, which is also a kind of wisdom.

Lu Chengqi didn't seem to hear it at all, still walking with his hands behind his back.Xu Jingchun didn't dare to disturb him, so he could only bend his body, his hands slightly arched, and freeze there.After a long time, Lu Chengqi seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Xu Qing, you are the director of the Supervision Department. How many court officials live in Taipingfang?"

Xu Jingchun didn't dare to straighten his body, and replied after hearing the words: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Taipingfang is the place where our ministers live together. More than half of the fourth-rank Beijing officials have settled down in Taipingfang..."

Lu Chengqi was slightly surprised, and said, "Who is there?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are Feng Chengping, Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Jiang Yu, the Privy Envoy, Qian Zongfang, the Right Adviser, and Zhou Yanhua, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment..." Xu Jingchun was like a few treasures, without thinking, but Lu Chengqi became more and more confused the more he listened.

In the end, Lu Chengqi gave up his guessing, professional things should be left to professionals.Lu Chengqi threw the rice paper on the dragon case to Xu Jingchun to see, Xu Jingchun held it in both hands, glanced it roughly, and immediately turned pale with shock: "This..."

"In the case of child abduction and trafficking, the person behind the scenes lives in Taipingfang. This is what your supervisory department tracked from Taiyuan Mansion to Chang'an City. It took more than half a month to find out. It shouldn't be wrong. After you go down, you will Check these people one by one to see which one is the most suspicious." Lu Chengqi always only cared about the results of his orders, and ignored the process of implementation.

Xu Jingchun was full of resentment in his heart: "I have tracked it all the way to Taipingfang, why can't I even find the mansion?" But he didn't know that the sender was too cunning, so many times he lost the letter when he was tracking it.There are so many people coming and going in Chang'an City, and it's not easy to catch people in the street, so we should startle the snake.After squatting for a long time, I finally understood that the sender left the letter in Taipingfang.It's just that this person's technique is so clever that no one in the Supervisory Department can see through how he sent the letter.

As the saying goes, the height of Tao is one foot, and the height of magic is one foot.This person has done something wrong, so he should be careful in everything.If it weren't for Lu Chengqi's heart, it would be impossible to narrow the scope to Taipingfang.

Seeing that Xu Jingchun was silent, Lu Chengqi thought he was thinking about how to investigate, and said: "This matter is of great importance, Xu Qing must grasp the measure of it, and don't startle the snake. I would rather solve the case later than make any side effects. Come at the end."

Xu Jingchun quickly said: "I understand!"

Lu Chengqi sighed and said: "I have always understood that no one is perfect, but it is unacceptable to be so frenzied and a minister of the court. If this person is not eliminated, the people will have no peace for a day!" In fact, Lu Chengqi still wanted to develop As for Jiangnan, this person has made the five roads a mess, and the people are full of dissatisfaction. How can he display his ambitions?Only when the case is brought to light can we take advantage of the opportunity to propose new policies again.

It's just that the imperial court's control over Jiangnan is really poor. At this time, the people of the Central Plains think that Jiangnan is a land of southern barbarians. It will not be a matter of time to change their minds.In official history, it was also because the Northern Song Dynasty perished and the Southern Song Dynasty established a dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, bringing advanced production technology from the Central Plains to the south of the Yangtze River, so that the south of the Yangtze River became a prosperous place.In addition to the miasma, the current Jiangnan is full of water swamps. It is still very difficult to carry out large-scale development.

This is a matter for the future, the most urgent thing is to solve the case first.Xu Jingchun swore: "I will do my best to thoroughly investigate this case!"

Lu Chengqi admitted that he was not the material to handle the case, chose to trust the professionals, nodded and said: "Very good, there is nothing else here, just step back!"

Xu Jingchun cupped his hands again and said, "Resignation!"
