Imperial prison, that is, the prison directly in charge of the emperor, the criminals need to be convicted by the emperor himself, directly controlled by the inner court guards, the criminal department, Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate of these foreign dynasties are also not entitled to interrogate, the prison "water and fire are invulnerable, the epidemic is full of prisons", the criminal law is extremely cruel, there are many kinds of torture tools, the history is called "the criminal law is self-evident, not the ancient system, the court staff, the east and west factory, the brocade guard, the prison is already in prison." It is a number of people, who kill people to the worst, and do not obey the law. ”

And after Zhao Junchen saw the four words "edict and prison strict investigation" on the secret fold, he quickly understood what Emperor Deqing meant.

Under the edict of prison without public trial, not to let the three legal divisions of the outer court intervene, but by the inner court to review and finalize the case, I am afraid that Emperor Deqing himself also understands that King Gong'an is just a scapegoat, such a conviction can not withstand strict investigation and careful trial, but Emperor Deqing has also made up his mind to take this opportunity to completely eliminate King Gong'an.

The secret fold was sent to the palace by Zhao Junchen overnight, and it was also approved by Emperor Deqing overnight.

Sighing softly, Zhao Junchen looked out the window, and the bright moon was in the sky.

But Zhao Junchen didn't intend to delay, he just raised his voice and called: "Qin Wei." ”

With Zhao Junchen's call, Qin Wei, who was wearing the costume of the hundred households in the West Factory, pushed the door in, knelt down and saluted: "Qin Wei is here, please command." ”

Zhao Junchen handed the secret fold in his hand to Qin Wei, and said lightly: "You go to the Yamen of Xichang, hand over this fold to Wei Huai, and tell him that I don't care about this matter next, and he will handle it personally." ”

After Qin Wei respectfully took the excerpt, he was about to turn around and leave, Zhao Junchen hesitated for a moment, and then added: "By the way, you remember to talk to Wei Huai, just say that Your Majesty is benevolent, loves the imperial family, and considers the reputation behind Your Majesty, although this case must be strictly investigated, it should not be too widely implicated." ”

"Humble duty understands."

Qin Wei nodded yes, waited for a while, and saw that Zhao Junchen had no other instructions, and finally left.

After Qin Wei came out of the study, he closed the door again, and only Zhao Junchen was left in the room.

Looking at the clear moonlight outside the window, Zhao Junchen's expression showed a little relaxation, and after taking a long breath, he muttered: "These days, the shape is complicated, there are many changes, there are all kinds of things, there are countless big and small things, and now it is finally over." ”

It's a pity that although one piece has ended, there are still many pieces, such as the layout for the crown prince, the spring meeting of the current department, and the southern tour of Emperor Deqing, one after another, Zhao Junchen can't make it easy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Three days later, in the middle of the river, Gong'an Palace.

In the Ming Dynasty, the power of the emperor's relatives was very great, and the princes would be crowned kings and leave Beijing when they reached a certain age, and from then on, they could not leave Beijing without edicts, they could not discuss political affairs, they could not make friends with officials, and even if they just treated the people better, so as to get some good reputation, which would cause the emperor to be suspicious. Only the prince who is not involved in political affairs, indulges in alcohol, acts absurdly and uninhibitedly, and even oppresses the people will be regarded as a "virtuous king".

Since Emperor Deqing ascended the throne, this King Gong'an, with an external image, is a standard "sage prince" of the Ming Dynasty, never discussing political affairs, never making friends with courtiers, singing in the palace every night, marrying one or two concubines every year, and sometimes doing a few things to oppress the people to cause turmoil.

Therefore, although King Gong'an is the "virtuous king" of the Ming Dynasty, his reputation in the hearts of the people of the fiefdom is not good.

On this day, outside the palace of Gong'an Wang, a large group of brocade guards wearing round-necked armor suddenly came.

After the Jinyi Guards came, they were unceremonious, and they didn't say hello, so they directly surrounded the Gong'an Palace, only letting them in and not letting them out, and dispersed the surrounding people, looking like they were going to arrest the criminals, but they were obviously coming to the Gong'an Palace.

In fact, although they still don't know what happened, the Jinyi guards understand one thing, once things come to such a point, I am afraid that in the future, I am afraid that King Gong'an will only beg for their share, so why give him any more face.

And after the brocade guards surrounded the Gong'an Palace, they no longer made any moves, they just controlled the shape and didn't act, as if they were waiting for someone, which made everyone in the Gong'an Palace's palace panic, and they didn't know how long they would have to wait, and they didn't know what they would wait for in the end.

But I didn't wait long, and I saw another team of people outside the Gong'an Palace, and this team of people looked like the stall leaders of the East Factory, but there were some subtle differences between them.

Seeing this team of people, the originally arrogant Jinyi guards had a sudden change in attitude, and they were actually respectful, obviously, this operation against Gong'an Wangfu was mainly based on the new team of people, and Jinyi Guards were just auxiliary.

And the new team of people turned out to be a thin, pale, gloomy lame man, who was sitting in a wheelchair at this time, and was pushed outside the gate of Gong'an Palace.

This lame man is Wei Huai, one of the four people in charge of the West Factory today.

"Oh, isn't this Lord Wei Huai? Jin Quan, a lowly brocade guard, has seen Lord Wei Huai. Speaking of which, I haven't had time to congratulate you on your move to the West Factory. ”

After seeing Wei Huai appear, the Qianhu of Jinyi Wei Zhongwei hurriedly greeted him, saluted Wei Huai, and said with a flattering expression.

Speaking of which, this Jin Quan and Wei Huai were quite familiar when they were in the Jinyi Wei Yamen.

However, Wei Huai didn't have the slightest intention of catching up with Jin Quan, he just glanced at Jin Quan gloomily, with a gloomy look, like a poisonous snake wanting to devour people's eyes, even if Jin Quan was well-informed, he couldn't help but tremble.

"Everyone is coming?"

Wei Huai asked slowly in his characteristic hoarse voice.

Seeing Wei Huai's appearance, Jin Quan didn't dare to delay and slacken, and hurriedly replied: "Lord Hui, the three general flag teams transferred from the capital, as well as the Jinyi guards from the surrounding four prefectures and eighteen counties, have all come. ”

Wei Huai raised his head, looked at the luxurious gate of the Gong'an Mansion in front of him, put a sneer on his face, and asked rhetorically: "Since everyone is here, what are you waiting for?" Call the door! ”

Jin Quan hurriedly agreed, stood up, and wanted to send his subordinates to break into the palace of Gong'an Wang.

However, before the Jinyi guards called the door, the gate of the Gong'an Palace's mansion suddenly opened by itself.

Then, I saw a group of people in the palace of King Gong'an, some old and young, some respected and some humble, and they were at the door at this time.

Looking at the wolf-like brocade guards and Xichang fans in front of him, most of these people showed panic on their faces and turned pale.

Only the person who is wearing a yellow python robe, his face is similar to that of Emperor Deqing with six or seven points, just a few years younger, and his temperament is also full of majesty, but at this time, there is no slightest panic, just with a contemptuous gaze, coldly scanning the qiē in front of him.

This person is the main target of Xichang and Jinyiwei's trip - Zhu Cihuan, the king of Gong'an.

As the so-called falling phoenix is not as good as a chicken, don't look at Jin Quan groveling and humble in front of Wei Huai just now, but that's because Wei Huai is in the West Factory, and there is a Zhao Junchen standing behind him, all of which he can't afford to provoke. And now facing King Gong'an, Jin Quan, who already knows what will happen to King Gong'an in the future, is unceremoniously.

With a false smile, after performing a perfunctory etiquette, I saw Jin Quan say to King Gong'an in a sarcastic tone: "Oh, isn't this Prince Gong'an?" The lowly Jinyi Wei Qianhu Jin Quan, I have seen the prince. We are acting according to orders today, and if there is any offense in the future, I hope that the prince will not blame him. ”

However, King Gong'an didn't pay any attention to Jin Quan in front of him, but after glancing at Jin Quan like a clown, he sneered, and then turned his gaze to Wei Huai on the side.

After looking at it a few times, King Gong'an asked coldly, "Are you from Xichang?" ”

Wei Huai nodded, and said lightly: "The prince is really well-informed, this west factory has only been built for a few days, and the prince already knows about it." Since the prince is so well-informed, I'm afraid you can guess the purpose of me waiting to meet the prince this time, right? ”

Hearing Wei Huai's rhetorical question, King Gong'an sneered even more, and also asked rhetorically: "So, you are Zhao Junchen's person?" I have long heard that this guy is a flattering villain, and in today's situation, he must have figured out Deqing's thoughts and planted the matter of He Ming's extermination case on the head of this king, right? ”

"Bold!" As soon as King Gong'an's words fell, Jin Quan jumped up, pointed at King Gong'an and accused loudly: "Can't you still see the current shape clearly? You are just a king of sin now, I am afraid that in the near future, the title will be stripped by His Majesty, but now you are unrepentant, not only slandering Lord Zhao, the governor of the West Factory, but also calling His Majesty by his name, aren't you afraid of adding a level of sin!? ”

King Gong'an sneered: "This king's crime, whether it is true or false, whether it is big or small, then Deqing and Zhao Junchen are afraid that they will not let me go, in this case, how can this king be afraid of another crime!?" ”

"You ......"

Seeing King Gong'an like this, Jin Quan was even more angry, but he pointed at King Gong'an, but he didn't know how to refute it.

Wei Huai, on the other hand, showed a hint of admiration at this time, and asked lightly: "The prince opened the door like this, did not resist, and did not hurry up to destroy the letter evidence in the palace that might cause trouble, I am afraid that he also knew that he would not escape, so he simply did not resist, right?" The prince is open-minded and humble. ”

King Gong'an still snorted softly, looking at Wei Huai and Jin Quan's eyes with more and more contempt, and with a faint sadness, he said slowly: "Physical witnesses, whether they are true or not, I am afraid that your Lord Zhao has already prepared for me, right?" In that case, what difference does it make between those in my palace who are destroyed and those who are not? I only hate that the fame of this king will eventually fall into the hands of a villain like Zhao Junchen, and the sky will treat me unfairly! ”

Speaking of which, King Gong'an looked up to the sky and sighed! Finally, a little weakness was revealed.

"I'm afraid the prince is wrong to blame my family." Seeing that King Gong'an had repeatedly offended Zhao Junchen, Wei Huai's expression finally flashed a trace of coldness, and his expression became even more gloomy and cold: "Although this matter has been approved by His Majesty and the adults of my family, all the qiē, from beginning to end, are handled by me." It's just that before leaving, Lord Zhao explained to me, saying that this case should not be too widely implicated, but looking at the attitude of the prince now, he can only go against the will of Lord Zhao once. ”

As he spoke, Wei Huai waved his hand and shouted coldly: "Enter the house and search!" Don't miss any clues! The people in the palace, from King Gong'an down, all of them were charged, and after the search was over, they were immediately escorted back to Beijing for interrogation! ”

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the surrounding brocade guards showed excitement and shouted loudly.

Then, the wolf-like brocade guards rushed into the palace one after another, bringing a cry and chaos.

And Zhu Cihuan, the king of Gong'an, who has always been calm, couldn't help but have a trace of pale face after seeing this scene, as if he had suddenly aged a lot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Soon, the personnel of the Gong'an Palace's palace were controlled by the Jinyi guards and detained in other places.

And Wei Huai came to the main hall of the palace, watching the brocade guards in the palace running around, looking like a mess, their expressions remained unchanged, just quietly waiting for the result.

After about two hours, the search finally ended.

Most of the places in the palace were searched by the Jinyi guards, but some important places, such as King Gong'an's study, secret room, account room, bedroom, and treasury, were personally responsible for the cronies of the West Factory.

Because there are fewer places to search, the search of the stall leaders of the West Factory ended first.

I saw a foreman of the West Factory walking quickly to the main hall, first glanced at the Jinyi guards who were waiting around, Wei Huai understood the meaning, and waved at the Jinyi guards, and the Jinyi guards left one after another, and for a while only the Xichang people were left in the house.

Even so, the foreman still didn't dare to slack off, came to Wei Huai's front and back, bent down and whispered: "Lord Wei, I led people to search the study, the dark room and King Gong'an's bedroom, and sure enough, a lot of things appeared. ”

Wei Huai's expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected this, and asked, "What's there?" ”

"In the cellar and the wall, the lowly job found a large pile of gold, silver and jewelry, because the number is too large, and it is still being counted, but the lowly job looked at it and estimated it, and the total value is probably not less than five million taels. And in the warehouse, more than 300 pieces of armor and weapons were found, all of which were well-known and well preserved, if there were only these, in the secret cabinet of the study, there was also a pile of secret letters, because the lowly office felt that it was a matter of confidentiality, so he did not dare to check, and asked your lord to call the shots. ”

As he spoke, the hundred-hundred-family took out a stack of secret letters from his arms, about twenty of them, and gave them to Wei Huai in both hands.

Wei Huai took the pile of secret letters, took out a cursory look, and then sneered.

"There is no wind and no waves, the rumors between the government and the opposition about King Gong'an's private friendship with the ministers of the court, now it seems to be true, I didn't expect that this time I could find the secret letters of King Gong'an and some officials and ministers in the court, this is a good harvest, if these secret letters are handed over to Lord Zhao, they will be able to make good use of them......"

Thinking like this, Wei Huai didn't look at it anymore, just took the secret letter into his arms, and then looked at the hundred households in the West Factory in front of him, who was in charge of the search, and said slowly: "No one else knows about these secret letters, right?" ”

Baihu hurriedly said: "Lord Hui, except for the two stall heads and the three fans who searched with the lowly position, the lowly position did not let anyone else know. ”

Wei Huai nodded, and said coldly: "From now on, you will forget about this secret letter, just as if you never knew, the factory supervisor and I will never treat you badly, understand?" As for those fan stalls, you can also make it clear to them. ”

Baihu nodded again and again, indicating that he understood.

Wei Huai pondered for a moment, and then said: "The gold, silver, and jewelry you found in the sandwich wall and cellar just now, you can take two boxes and pick some to take back, so you don't need to record them." In addition, the two stalls and the three fans will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver each. ”

Hearing Wei Huai say this, the hundred households were overjoyed, and after being grateful, seeing that Wei Huai had no other instructions, he turned around and left, thinking that he was looking for a big box in the district.

As soon as the foreman of the West Factory left, he saw Jin Quan enter the main hall with a few brocade guards, saluted Wei Huai, and said: "My lord, the gold and silver in this Gong'an Palace's mansion have been counted, and the account books are here, please take a look." ”

While speaking, Jin Quan handed the account book in the hands of the account office to Wei Huai.

In the account book, it is nothing more than how much gold, how much silver, how many pearls, how many antiques and so on, Wei Huai just took a cursory look, although he knew that the number of this account book must be untrue, and the Jinyi Wei must have taken a lot of hands, but he didn't care, so people always had to give some benefits.

What's more, in the palace of Gong'an, the real treasures are still the ones found in the secret room of the cellar in the middle wall of the West Factory.

After putting the account book aside, seeing that Jin Quan's expression was a little hesitant, Wei Huai frowned and asked, "What?" Could it be that something happened? ”

After Jin Quan hesitated for a moment, he still replied: "Back to my lord, the palace of Gong'an, after the lowly people were imprisoned and charged, the number of people was counted, and now there is one less." ”

"Oh?" Wei Huai's brows furrowed even tighter, and he asked, "Who is it?" ”

"I heard that she is the adopted daughter of King Gong'an, and her surname is Jiayi. I heard that she went to the Tiange Temple here today to offer incense, but the humble position sent someone to the Tiange Temple to inquire, only to know that she should have come back a long time ago, but now she is still missing. I'm afraid that after seeing that the situation in Gong'an Wangfu was not good, Zhu Jiayi ran away in private. ”

After hearing that it was just the adopted daughter of King Gong'an, Wei Huai's brows relaxed a little, and he didn't care, but said: "Issue an arrest warrant, let all places pay attention to it, and catch it as much as possible." ”

Seeing that Wei Huai didn't care, Jin Quan was also a lot more relaxed, and hurriedly agreed.
