Chapter 32 The Art of Speaking

There was a burst of rapid horse hooves outside the yard, and then the door knocker was knocked.

Zhou Xia and Fan Lixian heard the voice and stood up and walked into the yard. They felt very strange. The door was not closed, and the Jinyiwei was about to knock on the door when he came to arrest someone. What's this called?

The women could not suppress their sorrow and fear, and they started crying while holding the children!

"Qin Maosheng, a thousand households in the upper middle school of the Jinyiwei, has met two adults!" Qin Maosheng himself entered the yard first.

"We have no oil and water at home, I'm afraid we'll disappoint you!" Zhou Xia said coldly. He thought Qin Maosheng was here to take advantage of the situation.

"Two sirs, things are not as bad as you think. Although the Kedao official racked his brains to impeach the prince, the prince repayed his grievance with kindness and pulled you in front of the emperor. He knew that the civil servants of the dynasty liked hanging from the wall the most, so I asked me to tell you in advance."

"When you arrive at the imperial prison, stay honestly and don't commit any stupid suicides, so as not to waste the prince's kindness. This is all I said, I'll give you a cup of tea to make it clear, and don't scare your family to death!" Qin Maosheng whispered.

Then he walked out of the door and about five minutes later, the house search began!

The large-scale arrest operation taken by the Jinyiwei immediately shocked officials at all levels in Beijing. The major yamen became deserted in an instant, and there was no one who dared to discuss it!

No one dared to ask for mercy to the officials of the Kedao to say who is the best in the Tianming Dynasty's ability to criticize the words and write. Of course, the censors are the best candidates, but the best are now staying in the imperial prison!

At the Huangji Palace Grand Court Meeting, the Kedao officials impeached King Song, and officials from the cabinet and six ministries attached the proposal. Then, students of the Imperial College surrounded the imperial city gate. These things have spread in the capital.

Everyone knows that the emperor who was beaten with a swollen face would definitely not give up, but he didn't expect that he would take such a heavy move this time.

Twenty-eight people were arrested, four of whom were to be executed by their family, six were to be dismissed from office and never hired, and they were exiled to their families for three thousand miles, and the rest were to be sent to remote places in southern Yunnan.

There are two imperial prisons in the capital, one belongs to the Jinyiwei and the other belongs to the Dongchang. The imperial prisons under the Jinyiwei are much larger than those in the Dongchang imperial prison, and they are also in Mixiang, Xijiang.

"Sir, the official of Kedao is indeed full of character. He looks fearless and has a very calm expression. He is truly a pure and strong censor among civil officials." said a chief official of the chief banner of the imperial prison.

"Bad, Lord Luo just ordered that they should be taken care of, and comforted them in words to prevent them from committing suicide in prison. This means that there is inside information in this arrest." The hundred households in charge of the imperial prison said with a sneer.

I knew there was something wrong at first glance. The men, women, young and old were not scared and trembled all over. I even felt a joy of escaping. If I didn’t know, I thought I was coming to the imperial prison for traveling!

"The families of Cai Tongzhi, Qin Zhenfu Envoy and others are coming to the imperial prison to bring them some food and clothing. What does the lord mean?" asked the chief banner officer.

In the morning, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Cai Hanchang, the commander of the Beizhenfu Department, Qin Dingyuan, and twenty-two hundred households were imprisoned in the imperial prison. The family knew about it, so of course they had to come and visit it.

"After promising their families to visit, they were their former bosses, so they had to give them this little face. Although they have not been removed from office and investigated, I want to tell you that it is the best ending for them to live in Zhaozhu," said the hundred households in Zhaozhu.

In the morning, he was supervised by the royal guards and wrote a "work report", and the governor's scheming and wit also reminded many things.

The imperial prison was under the management of the Northern Fufu Department, and the Fufu Envoy is now temporarily appointed by Luo Yi, the guards of the royal palace, for the time being, and it will be a matter of time before he becomes a regular person. It is a matter of luck that these detained people can survive!

"Why did King Song really say that?" Emperor Sheng Long asked in the imperial study.

"Long live the emperor, I dare not hide it. Your Highness Song said to you in public, "You only think of your godson, but you can't think of your own son." Lu Bin bowed and said.

Obviously, the little eunuch who followed Sun Anbo was sent by Lu Bin.

The emperor did not say that he suspected Sun Anbo, but that this matter involved the factory guards and Zhu Ruisheng. It was normal to listen to the conversation on the spot.

Emperor Shenglong was also worried that Zhu Ruisheng and Sun Anbo were too close, and that the prince and the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor were in contact with each other, which would be troublesome. He heard that Zhu Ruisheng was offending Sun Anbo to death, his heart suddenly became relaxed.

"You go and call him here and have dinner at Kunning Palace. I promised him privileges, but I also resigned to stop him from his actions, causing him to lose face in front of his subordinates. Maybe he is blaming me at this moment!" Emperor Sheng Long frowned and said lightly.

Zhu Ruisheng wanted to beat Ge Sheng to death, but he didn't think it was a big deal. Apart from being loyal, this old slave was considered a desirable thing, and he could only say that he was just a good match in terms of ability. In other words, he was qualified and supported by Sun Anber, so he always served as the supervisor of the Dongchang Factory.

Ge Sheng relied on the power of the Dongchang to corruption, blackmail, and domineering in the capital. He also became a waste of the Jinyiwei. He had long wanted to deal with this old eunuch.

The reason why he promised Sun Anbo to save Ge Sheng's life was that he did not want the East Factory to be suppressed by the Jinyiwei too much. In addition, Ge Sheng served him for many years, so he could not let down the loyalty of the eunuchs.

However, Zhu Ruisheng's words made him feel a little awkward and his face changed abnormally. Although it was only a moment, Lu Bin next to him could see clearly.

"Eunuch Sun, Eunuch Ge was seriously injured this time. It is estimated that he will take half a year to recuperate. Perhaps one leg is disabled and his walking is not as smooth as before." The imperial physician walked up to Sun Anbai and said.

The dignified eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, Bingbi and Ge Sheng, the governor of the Dongchang Factory, were beaten to this ghost by His Royal Highness Song, and almost killed his life. The imperial physician was shocked when he saw it. This was the first time in the history of the Tianming Dynasty.

"I understand, you go back to duty and come here every day to see the situation. Don't tell anyone about Eunuch Ge's situation for the time being!" Sun Anbo nodded and said.

At this moment, Ge Sheng's face was pale and bloodless. He applied medicine from his waist to his knees. His forehead was so painful that he was covered with sweat. He kept humming. The little eunuch who was serving him shook his palm-leaf fan and fanned him. There were also several pots of broken ice in the room to cool down.

"Godfather, son... my son was almost beaten to death in public this time. He lost such a big man. How can he lead the East Factory in the future?" Ge Sheng said crying.

"If you don't know what you live or die, don't think I don't know your little plot. Everything in your head is full of shit. If you are a factory supervisor, don't you know the sky is high and the earth is thick?"

"What are our identities? We are slaves of the royal family, dogs, His Highness Song is our master. Your behavior is called using slaves to deceive the master, and you deserve to be beaten to death!"

"Don't think about Dongchang anymore. If something happens like this, you, the admiral and eunuch, have done your best. Long live the mercy and will not kill you. It is a blessing that you have cultivated for eight lifetimes. Be honest and heal your injuries first. As for the matter of your position, let's talk about it later!" Sun Anbo said.

He returned to the Sili Supervision Office and looked at the direction of the Ganqing Palace. He felt a little uneasy. Because Ge Sheng's incident offended King Song Zhu Ruisheng, it was hard to say what Emperor Sheng Long would think.
