Wu Zheng frowned and glanced at Ma Shiying, "Realistically speaking, you have never surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and you can't be called a traitor or a traitor. However, no matter whether it is the Lu State or the Longwu Dynasty that day, the monarch and ministers are unwilling to accept you. I understand the reason for this today."

Ma Shiying's old face turned red and she smiled, "It's just some means."

"What did he call?"

"Yuan Chengli told him that he was just following the orders of his uncle, that is, Yuan Ermei, and he didn't know anything else."

"Nothing else?"

"It's gone."

"Absurd, Yuan Chengli is just a hundred imperial guards. Even if his subordinates have a confidant who is willing to obey him and kill me, it is impossible for all the imperial guards under his command to have such courage, right? I am a prince at least..."

"Your Majesty, I really acted after listening to Yuan Ermei's orders. Yuan Chengli received more than 30,000 taels of silver from his uncle Yuan Ermei within a year. Most of this money was used to feed the soldiers under his command... The prince just imagines that if you have money, you can make the devil push the mill. If you reward him with great rewards, you will have a brave man."

"The bullshit brave man is just a bunch of native chickens and tiles... I'm almost a hundred years old and can't even say a word."

"Yes, yes, what the prince blamed... still said Yuan Ermei?"

"Have you stopped you?"

"Yes, yes. The old man Yuan Ermei was stubborn and refused to confess no matter how he beat and scolded him. I dare not use torture, for fear of hurting his life... In a dilemma, I thought of the people's methods of dealing with Chen Hongfan in Xiushui, Jiaxing that day..."

When he heard this, Wu Zheng remembered that day, and couldn't help but slammed it and said angrily: "Who told you to tell the process... I just told you the result."

Ma Shiying replied: "Does the prince know who this Yuan Ermei is?"

Wu Zheng said angrily: "Walking around again, I will ask someone to throw you out of the wall."

"Uh..." Ma Shiying obviously wanted to show off in front of Wu Zheng. No wonder, a good minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Fei Que, was gone after saying that he had nothing. No one was heartbroken. However, Wu Zheng ignored him and was even angry.

Ma Shiying said a little depressedly: "Yuan Ermei has already surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. He did not surrender directly to the Qing Dynasty, but to the Qing Dynasty through Song Zhengyu..."

"Wait, what you are talking about... Song Zhengyu, the Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works of Yixing Dynasty, and one of the two major ministers under Chen Zilong?"

“That’s right.”

Wu Zheng suddenly realized that this was the right number, "You keep talking."

Ma Shiying looked at Wu Zheng in surprise and continued: "Song Zhengyu provided Yuan Ermei with no less than 100,000 taels of silver as funds, just to buy an imperial guard for his power."

Wu Zheng said sternly: "Then why are you delaying your mind? Why don't you bring people to arrest Song Zhengyu?"

"Prince, don't worry, I have sent a team of guards to you. Calculate the time, there will be news in at most half an hour."

Wu Zheng slowed down his face, "Well... continue talking."

"According to Yuan Ermei's instructions, Song Zhengyu originally wanted to use this imperial guard to assassinate His Majesty, but the prince happened to go to Beimen Bridge in a very short dress, and it happened that Yuan Chengli led his troops on duty, so there was that killing."

Wu Zheng's brows tightened again, "As you mean, this king's assassination has nothing to do with Your Majesty?"

"To be precise, Yuan Chengli's assassination should have nothing to do with His Majesty."

"Absurdly, Song Zhengyu had an affair with the Qing army and wanted to harm me. He did not kill him that day. He should thank me. Why did he need this imperial guard who spent a huge amount of money to intercept me? This makes no sense!"

Ma Shiying sighed leisurely: "Prince, people's hearts are unpredictable... Do you know that what people who harm others fear most is not the incident, but the victim's death. This will attract endless revenge from the victim, let alone a real power figure like the prince who can cause turmoil by stomping his feet."

Wu Zheng was stunned for a while, "Even if you are right, where is Your Majesty singing? Since it is not his assignment, let me explain why Huang Dazhan was sent to lead the imperial guards to chase him?"

"This is not something that Yuan Ermei and Song Zhengyu can tell. But my subordinates guess that His Majesty thinks he is wrong and to eliminate future troubles!"

"Will it be wrong?"

"Yes. Your Majesty is the emperor for a dynasty, but over the years, the prince's strength is far above the court. I'm afraid any emperor will hate the prince to the core. The prince is an open-minded gentleman. Of course, he thought that this misunderstanding could be explained, but in His Majesty's mind, this matter is probably not explained at all. When he learned that the imperial guards intercepted the prince, His Majesty must have thought that the blame was taken. Since he had taken the decision, it would be better to make the mistake and kill the prince to eliminate future troubles!"

After a long time of work, it turned out that way. Wu Zheng glared at Ma Shiying angrily and said, "You are just quick-talking, can't I think of it?"

"That's right, the prince's genius, naturally I've thought of it for a long time. My subordinates just gave it a little smoother for the prince and told it."

"Stop flattering, I won't take your tricks."

"Hehe...hehe, that... prince, is it easy for me to do things?"

"good."

"Does that mean a contribution?"

"Forget it...."

"Then...that's the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue...?"

"Are you here to seek an official position for me?" Wu Zheng glanced at Ma Shiying, "The eight characters in this case have not been marked yet. Song Zhengyu has not been arrested yet, and His Majesty has not yet known his life and death... Let's talk about it later."

Ma Shiying lowered her head in disappointment, but quickly raised her head, "Why don't the prince take the opportunity to seize the treasure... Anyway, no one knows the confession of the two Yuan Yuan, as long as the prince insists that it was sent by His Majesty..."

"Don't you know, too?"

"Well……."

"Hiss... I'm wondering, should I silence you?"

"No... no, my subordinates will definitely keep their mouths tight and will never say a word." Ma Shiying was so scared that he became nervous. He knew what it means to be with the king and be with the tiger.

Wu Zheng said leisurely: "I have already supported the eldest princess in front of all civil and military officials."

Ma Shiying's face changed, as if her mother had died, and she stomped her feet and sighed: "What a pity... It's such a pity. What a great opportunity... Why didn't the prince catch it? Tsk tsk... can you still regret it?"

Wu Zheng felt inexplicably moved. This Ma Yaocao was scolded by the world as a traitor, but in the past few years, Wu Zheng found that he was really a villain, a villain!

At least, the expression in front of him was really heart-warming. Whether it was correct or not, or it was in line with Wu Zheng's wishes, but Wu Zheng believed that he really felt sorry for himself.

"Old Ma, haste will not reach the limit. At least 70% of the officials in the court must support me. These people cannot move easily. Behind each of them is a family, and there are in-laws between families, family friends, family relationships, and family members are mixed. The family will be a large number. Do you think Your Majesty really trusts and rely on these people? It's just a jealous person! Since even Your Majesty doesn't touch them, why should I make trouble for myself and provoke them on my own initiative?"
