Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

Vol 2 Chapter 1581: The culprit was found

  Chapter 1581 The real culprit has been found

  Fang Jifan didn't dare to defend himself at this time.

   It is Fang Jifan's style to talk back when other people's emotions fluctuate greatly. It's fine if you don't hit you, so you can't talk back?

   But when he met Emperor Hongzhi, Fang Jifan immediately confessed that he would die, which relieved Emperor Hongzhi's emotions that were about to erupt.

Fang Jifan said: "Father, my son did this as a last resort. The mansion where my son lived suddenly encountered a big fire. The incident was too strange. The fire was obviously started by someone using kerosene. This is what my son Knowing that I have been assassinated, of course, I am not panicked, but very happy. My son has served the emperor, and he has already put life and death aside. Explain, this kind of rebellious ministers and thieves, these ministers have not been afraid of violence these years, which has aroused the hatred of these people, isn't this a lucky thing?"

"It's just... Wang Bo'an, my disciple, really cared about my safety, tried my best to stop him, and warned me that if the assassin failed to set fire, there must be other tricks. If I don't paralyze them, there will be a second time, or even For the third assassination, after all, it was Nantong Prefecture, not the capital. For safety reasons, I suggested that I secretly go to Ningbo Shuizhai. In Ningbo Shuizhai, there was Erchen's disciple Qi Jingtong, who protected Erchen Returning to Beijing is the safest thing. Furthermore, this matter must be extremely confidential and cannot be entrusted to anyone, so I had no choice but to travel from Nantong Prefecture to Ningbo overnight, and then secretly board a ship to Tianjin Wei. No, once we arrived in Tianjin Wei, hurried back to Beijing to see you."

  Emperor Hongzhi was surprised when he heard the twists and turns, but after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that this was the safest way under the circumstances at that time. After all, the enemy was in the dark, and Fang Jifan was in the light.

  Emperor Hongzhi was overjoyed suddenly. The depression of the past few days had been swept away. Immediately, he became excited again, and said angrily: "Rebellious ministers and traitors, you will die badly."

  Fang Jifan then sighed again: "Your Majesty, my son and minister are away, and the wind and rain are precarious. I don't know what will happen tomorrow. The danger is only in the blink of an eye, but I miss your Majesty all the time."

  Emperor Hongzhi was very emotional. Looking at the mourning hall, and listening to Fang Jifan's words after his death and rebirth, he couldn't help being so sentimental that tears came to his eyes. Just thinking about it, his face became weird again.

  He raised his eyes, looked at Fang Jifan and said, "Why, you don't think about Xiurong, don't you think about Tianci?"

  Fang Jifan: "..."

  Can he say that this pit is a bit big.

  By the side, Zhu Xiurong's shoulders were already trembling, and tears were already pouring down like rain, but he had to restrain his emotions desperately, not to cry out loudly, so he choked with tears.

  She still couldn't believe it in her heart, but looking at her familiar husband, she felt as if she had fallen into an abyss and then was pulled up again. Happiness became within reach in a blink of an eye.

  Fang Jifan glanced at Zhu Xiurong with gentle eyes, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, most of the time, my servant is also thinking about Her Highness the Princess."

  Zhu Houzhao was beside him, grinning heartlessly: "It seems that I am not thinking about Bengong."

  Fang Jifan hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Nian Nian Nian, I read them all, one counts as one, I... I read it during the day and also at night."

  Can he say that he is so tired...

  Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows.

  In this mourning hall, there seemed to be faint melodies of good luck playing, and the atmosphere suddenly became cheerful.

Emperor Hongzhi wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked a lot more energetic: "My son-in-law Chenglongkuai came back to life. I am really pleased. I thought that I lost my left and right arms. It must be hard work, you don’t need to stay here, it’s very unlucky here, come here, get out of here, get out quickly.”

How could Xiao Jing dare to be negligent, his thoughts were very complicated. To be honest, when he heard that Fang Jifan was assassinated, he felt a little uncomfortable for a while. My child is gone, and I always feel empty in my heart.

   But now this person is alive and kicking in front of him again, seeing His Majesty still crying and laughing for him, Xiao Jing felt that his heart was always very uncomfortable.

   But now that Emperor Hongzhi ordered, he didn't have time to think about it, and immediately ordered people to evacuate the mourning hall.

   Immediately afterwards, Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne and ordered all officials to enter the hall to have an audience.

   When the officials saw Fang Jifan alive and kicking again, they were both shocked and terrified.

  Fang Jifan stood under the prince with his hands behind his back, with a look of caring for all officials.

  Liu Jianren and others hurriedly said, "It's your Majesty's good fortune to find Duke Qi lost. Congratulations, Your Majesty..."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand, the whole person looked relaxed, Princess Taikang had already stepped back, Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao seemed to be communicating with each other with their eyes, as if they were very excited, Emperor Hongzhi coughed meaningfully, and then let the two People start to become peaceful.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Although it is the rest of my life, assassinating my son-in-law is a serious crime against the nine clans. I will never forgive these thieves lightly. If I don't investigate these thieves for a day, I will have trouble sleeping and eating."

  The Guozijian sacrificial wine Liu Huiwen has woken up from the shock.

  Standing among the ministers, what he was horrified about was why he would miss. This time, he was afraid... From then on, God would never give him another chance.

  He lamented in his heart, but on his face, there was a smile that seemed to be gratified, and then he followed the courtiers and said: "Your Majesty's words are true. Disorderly ministers and thieves, everyone will punish them."

  Assassinating His Majesty's son-in-law, who is now the Duke of the country, is almost no different from rebellion.

  Emperor Hongzhi glanced sideways.

  Xiao Jing shivered.

  He couldn't explain why the factory guard didn't hear anything about it before the assassination, and he couldn't explain why Fang Jifan was still alive, but the factory guard didn't even notice.

  Back then, the factory guard was so capable, but since he led the factory guard, he failed to achieve anything.

  Regarding this point, Xiao Jing actually wanted to explain it very much. After all...During the Chenghua Dynasty, the money and grain earned by the factory guards was more than three times what it is now. Once the factory guards recruited personnel, it can be said that everyone was scrambling to be the first. Relying on the power of Xuntian, I don't know how many talents were recruited.

   But is this strange to the servant girl?

  His Majesty came to the throne, changed the old system, alienated the factory guards, and was very picky about the money and food of the factory guards. If you want money but have no money, if you want a future, you have no future. The slaves are also clever women who can't cook without rice.

  Of course, Xiao Jing didn't dare to say this reason. He was about to say that the slaves must continue to investigate and catch those thieves.

But Fang Jifan said at this time: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this thief wants to murder my minister. Although my minister has been hiding his name and fled all the way back to the capital, he has already ordered his disciple Wang Shouren to investigate the matter secretly. Now There are already eyebrows."

  Emperor Hongzhi remembered that Wang Shouren and Fang Jifan were together, and his life and death were uncertain. He hurriedly asked, "Wang Qing's family is still alive?"

  Fang Jifan nodded: "Of course I'm alive, Your Majesty forgot, my minister is as upright as a fire, and just about to face these thieves, it was Wang Bo'an who dissuaded me."

  Emperor Hongzhi ignored the word Wang Shouren just now, but now that he thought about it carefully, he remembered something, nodded and said, "Where is he?"

   "He's back in Beijing now."

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "He went back to the capital first, why didn't he come to report your news?"

  Fang Jifan said calmly: "Because my minister ordered him to return to Beijing first, it will be easier to find out the real culprit."

   "Where is he now?"

  Hearing that the real culprit was found, Emperor Hongzhi cheered up.

  This Wang Shouren... Could he still do this?

  His specialty is not getting on the horse and charging into the battle, but dismounting to strategize. In addition, after entering the academy, can you teach and educate people, relying on the full knowledge in your belly, can you create a new knowledge?

   Are you good at detectives now?

  Emperor Hongzhi said, and glanced at Xiao Jing calmly.

  Xiao Jing: "..."

  Xiao Jing felt a little pricked.

  Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, he is in Xishan, nine out of ten... in Zhen Guo Mansion."

   "I would like to know who actually assassinated Fang Qing." Emperor Hongzhi's face was cold, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said with a calm face, "Immediately send an audience to Wang Qing's family."

  The officials suddenly became awe-inspiring.

   Their minds are very complicated now.

   On the one hand, many people are also curious about who is so bold.

  On the other hand, some people started to think about their own house, and suddenly felt that something was not right...I always felt...as if something heart-wrenching was about to happen.

   Liu Huiwen was among the crowd, coughing desperately, but he still had a benevolent look on his face, as if... catching the real culprit had nothing to do with him.

  …

  Wang Shouren came soon.

  He was hiding in Zhen Guo Mansion as expected.

  In fact, Wang Shouren's duty was to arrive at the capital half a day ahead of schedule to deliver a message to Wang Jinyuan.

  When Wang Jinyuan learned that the young master was not dead, he was so excited that he was going crazy, and then...he calmed down quickly, as if he had realized something at once, and he didn't bother to greet Wang Shouren, telling him not to show his face, and left in a hurry.

   Wang Shouren didn't come calmly until a messenger from His Majesty arrived at Zhenguo Mansion and asked Wang Shouren to go to Fang's house by name.

  His appearance attracted everyone's attention.

  Wang Shouren always put on that stinky face.

  After all... capable people tend to have a bad temper.

   Well, this point has a lot of similarities with Fang Jifan.

  Wang Shouren saluted like a ritual, and waited for the big ceremony. Emperor Hongzhi said eagerly: "I heard that Wang Qing's family has worked hard to protect Jifan all the way, and... they are still investigating the real culprit. Is there such a thing?"

"have."

  Emperor Hongzhi opened his eyes: "There may be clues."

   "The real culprit...has been found." Wang Shouren replied.

  Suddenly, there was an uproar in the hall.

  Who the hell?

  ...

   Today, the child went through the enrollment procedures and was away for a day. The update is late, sorry.
