However, Wang Chengen waited with bated breath for a long time, and did not wait for Chongzhen's angry order. He couldn't help but look up with some doubts, and found that Chongzhen's forehead was bruised, and he gritted his teeth and didn't know what he was thinking.

Wang Chengen was a little shocked, he couldn't help but guess, "Your Majesty won't be angry and confused by phlegm for a while." ”

He was thinking about whether he was going to wake up Chongzhen when Zhu Youzhen finally regained his composure, let out a long breath, and asked him.

"I heard that there are many people in the edict of Jinyiwei, there are many people who are bewitching people, are there any famous people among them?"

Although Wang Chengen is the commander of the East Factory, he has been busy with the affairs of the celebrant recently, and has reorganized many affairs of the East Factory, so he has not cared much about the Jinyi Guard, let alone the edict in the Jinyi Guard.

Except for the last time Chongzhen transferred some officials to the Xinwang Mansion, Wang Chengen knew a little about the names of these officials, and he didn't know about the other ordinary prisoners at all.

Therefore, when he heard Chongzhen's question, Wang Chengen hesitated for a while, and then he honestly confessed, he had not read the information of ordinary prisoners in the Imperial Prison.

Zhu Youzhen was not angry, after all, Wang Chengen is a human being, not a computer, and it is impossible for him to ask any questions and get answers.

"The last time I went to visit Yang Jingluo in the Imperial Prison, the Jinyi guard who managed the Imperial Prison seemed to be very familiar with the prisoners, and now you are sending someone to summon him in... Oh, it seems that the palace door has been closed now..."

Looking at Chongzhen's distressed look, Wang Chengen thought about it, and carefully suggested: "Your Majesty can go out of the Donghua Gate and wait in the Inner East Factory in the Imperial City, and Weichen can summon Xu Xianchun into the East Factory for questioning in the name of the guards on duty." ”

"Okay, that's it, let someone bring a set of eunuch clothes." Zhu Youzhen loosened his brows and immediately agreed to Wang Chengen's idea.

Zhao Chunhua was hiding in the duty room with great interest, and looked at the book he had come from the Neijing Factory by candlelight. He was seeing Rulai crush the monkey under the Five Fingers Mountain when a sergeant hurried in from outside.

Zhao Chunhua immediately closed the book vigilantly, "What's the matter, at this time, is there anyone still going out of the palace?" ”

"Yes, Hyaknohe-sama. You'd better go out and greet you, it's Wang Changgong here. The sergeant who walked in said in a bit of a panic.

Zhao Chunhua immediately dropped the book, hurriedly put on his hat, and then hurriedly walked out of the duty room.

Last time, he followed Zhang Yixian out of Beijing to pick up a few people, but he collided with His Majesty, and he was assigned to guard the door. This time, he didn't want to offend the factory again, and then he couldn't even stay in the capital.

When Zhao Chunhua walked down the city tower, he saw Wang Chengen standing in the door with two eunuchs waiting to open the door.

There are two braziers in front of the doorway, which are mainly used for night lighting. Zhao Chunhua walked through the doorway, and when he was about to salute Wang Chengen, he suddenly saw two eunuchs standing behind him, which surprised him.

Seeing that Zhao Chunhua didn't hurry up to salute, he looked at Wang Changgong rather rudely. Xiaoqi, who had gone to inform him earlier, quickly pulled his back without showing any traces, wanting to remind him.

Zhu Youzhen saw the hundred households of Jinyi Wei who hurried down, and looked at him directly. Thinking that he probably recognized himself, although he didn't know the name of this hundred households, Zhu Youzhen felt a little bad.

Sure enough, after recognizing Chongzhen behind Wang Chengen, Zhao Chunhua dispelled the idea of opening the door. Wang Chengen, as the director of the East Factory, is qualified to temporarily go out of the East China Gate at night to deal with the affairs of the East Factory.

But it is impossible to take Chongzhen out of the palace at night, and it is impossible to come out of the palace with easy clothes, if something goes wrong with Chongzhen, this is a big crime to destroy the nine clans.

Wang Chengen suppressed his anger and did not dare to scold loudly, so as not to cause more trouble. However, he also knew that he couldn't stay here for a long time, because every night there were 8 guards patrolling the four gates, and once Chongzhen was found wearing eunuch clothes at night and wanted to leave the palace, then even Wang Chengen couldn't afford it.

Wang Chengen was thinking about whether he should turn around and persuade Chongzhen to return to the Qianqing Palace first. Chongzhen suddenly said a few words in his ear, and Wang Chengen showed a surprised expression on his face, but he quickly restrained his expression.

"Zhao Baihu, the miscellaneous family is just going to the inner east factory in the imperial city to deal with an urgent matter, if you think there is anything wrong, just go with the miscellaneous family. This urgent matter must be dealt with tonight, and if you keep getting in the way, if something goes wrong, you are the only one who asks. ”

Wang Chengen's words made Zhao Chunhua hesitate for a moment, and he thought a little luckily, if Chongzhen didn't leave the imperial city, then he wouldn't be much guilty, and with him by his side, the emperor shouldn't be in any danger.

Then Zhao Chunhua saw Chongzhen's meaningful gaze, his face suddenly turned slightly pale, and finally gave the order to open the door, but ordered a sergeant to accompany him and escort Wang Chengen and the three to Neidong Factory.

After arriving at the Neidong Factory, Wang Chengen instructed the general flag on duty to bring Xu Xianchun, who had been demoted to a hundred households in Jinyiwei, to the Neidong Factory.

More than an hour later, Xu Xianchun, who was in a trance and his face was pale, was brought to Wang Chengen.

After hearing that it was not Dongchang who wanted to arrest him for questioning, Xu Xianchun obviously relaxed.

Soon a little eunuch walked out of the inner room behind the screen and whispered a few words in Wang Chengen's ear.

Wang Chengen opened his mouth and asked: "Xu Baihu, you have been in charge of the edict prison for so long, are there any treacherous people who deceive the people and cause trouble in this edict prison?" ”

Xu Xianchun said a few Jiangyang thieves in a row, and the demon monks who cheated and raped women, Wang Chengen never said anything, until he talked about the fact that there was still a disciple of Xu Hongru, the bandit leader of the Wenxiang Sect, in the edict prison, and the little eunuch came out from behind the screen again.

Wang Chengen then asked: "Xu Hongru is guilty of great rebellion, how can his disciples still be locked up in the edict prison?" ”

Xu Xianchun immediately replied: "The Smelling Fragrance Sect was founded by Wang Sen of Shifokou in Luanzhou, Hebei Province, and his people claimed to have saved a fox, and the fox cut off its tail and gave it away, with a strange fragrance; In order to call on the disciples, many people are attached, so it is called the smell of incense.

It developed a large number of believers in Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, and Sichuan, and then because of his many missionaries in Beijing, he was arrested by my Jinyiwei in the 42nd year of Wanli, and finally died in prison in the 47th year of Wanli.

Xu Hongru was his personal disciple, and after Wang Sen's death, he inherited the position of the leader of the Wenxiang Sect. In the second year of the Apocalypse, Xu Hongru raised the flag against the Ming Dynasty in Yuncheng, Shandong, and called himself Emperor Zhongxing Fulie, with the year name Dacheng Xingsheng. The mutant army once cut off the Grand Canal and captured Teng County, Zou County and other places.

The incense cultists from all over the country also responded, and Yu Hongzhi rebelled in Baijiatun at the junction of Wuyi and Jingzhou in July; In September, Kang Fufu of Ze County led the crowd to revolt; Li Enxian of Gushi County, Runing Prefecture, Henan Province, and the White Lotus Sect in Sichuan also responded to Xu Hongru.

Although afterwards, under the hard work of our Ming officers and soldiers, the people in various places were finally quelled, but the disciples of the Wenxiang Sect hid in the dark.

This Shi Tao is a leathersmith in the capital, and he is also the altar master of Xu Hongru's mission in the capital, and the reason why we did not punish him canonically is that we hope to dig out other incense believers in the capital from him, so as to prevent future troubles. ”

Wang Chengen asked with some curiosity: "So after detaining him for so many years, do you have anything to gain?" ”

Xu Xianchun replied with a little embarrassment: "This person is cunning and abnormal, and he will only confess to some inconsequential disciples every once in a while. To this day, we still haven't caught the important people of the Smelling Fragrance Sect in the capital. ”

Wang Chengen was a little puzzled, he didn't know what Chongzhen was doing so much about a cultist, did he want him to drag a few gentry and wealthy families in? However, those are all scholarly families, and they are not objects that can be planted at will. Once you ask to go to court to confront you, it's not fun to make some jokes.

The current Dongchang is not the Dongchang of Wei's father-in-law, and he Wang Chengen is not Wei Zhongxian, so he can't cover the sky with one hand.

Just as Wang Chengen was thinking nonsense, the little eunuch walked out again, and whispered to him with a pale face.

This time, the two whispered for a very long time, and Wang Chengen did not immediately convey the meaning of the person behind the scenes to Xu Xianchun.

Wang Chengen opened his mouth a few times and couldn't speak, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Xu Baihu, you wait here, and the miscellaneous family will come when they go." ”

Saying that, Wang Chengen also left his seat, turned around and went around to the inner room behind the screen. When Wang Chengen walked into the inner room, Chongzhen was biting on a piece of pastry.

Seeing Wang Chengen walk in with an ugly face, Zhu Youzhen took a sip of tea and swallowed the pastry in his mouth, and didn't wait for him to say anything.

Wang Chengen had already opened his mouth and whispered: "Your Majesty, do you really want to do this?" If you don't get it right, there will be chaos in Gyeonggi. Back then, the rebellion of the Smelling Fragrance Sect was a few surprises in the capital. ”

Zhu Youzhen had obviously strengthened his thoughts at this time, and he replied very clearly: "Just do it, Fan Zhongyan said to Fu Bi back then: When a family is crying, how can it be like crying all the way!" For example, if you don't pick out the mud and sand in the rice, you will knock your teeth. Rather than waiting for a mess to start a mess in the future, it's better to make a mess of it sooner rather than later. ”

Xu Xianchun waited in the empty room with some uneasiness, and he vaguely guessed who was behind the scenes in the inner room.

If it weren't for a particularly difficult task, it is estimated that the person behind the scenes would not have avoided him so much.

Xu Xianchun was a little nervous, but also a little excited. Since he was demoted, he was very uneasy, because he was one of the most hated objects of the Donglin Party, and the Donglin Party members who were arrested and imprisoned had been tortured by him.

Xu Xianchun knew that if he could not show a worthy side, then he would soon be thrown to the relatives of the Donglin Party who were killed to appease their resentment.

Seeing that the original colleagues in the Jinyi Guard were reactivated, but he was forgotten in the edict, Xu Xianchun felt that he was the death row prisoner waiting to be executed in the edict.
