"Thank you, Duke!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Wang Chengen's usual character would be severely punished if he did not meet his requirements at all.
After a night of bloody chaos, the capital city became much more noisy and peaceful during the day.
"My lord, I."
"Hey, Mr. Wang, I heard last night that you went out of the city to chase the man in black?"
Zhu Si, who was drinking tea leisurely, saw Wang Chengen striding into his headquarters. He smiled and waved his hand to his subordinates, motioning Wang Chengen to sit down and asked.
"I still have to thank Lord Zhu. Without timely news from Lord Zhu, I might have been dead long ago."
Wang Chengen looked at Zhu Si's appearance and said to him with a smile.
"Well, we all work for His Majesty, and we must exchange information if there is any situation."
Seeing Wang Chengen's lack of energy, Zhu Si said with a smile.
"This is my idea, and it should be regarded as the reward for Master Zhu's news."
Wang Chengen was unwilling to accept Zhu Si's favor, and his subordinates also found out the information. They said that before Zhu Si gave him the information again, he had already met with the Hong family and collected money from them.
I don't know what kind of agreement was reached, but in the end he gave the news about the Hong family to himself. Such a duplicitous villain might stab him like this in the future, so it would be better to draw a clear line early.
"Does Mr. Wang think I am short of money? This time I just want to simply help Mr. Wang. After my investigation this night, only Hong Tao from the Hong family has escaped."
"Master Wang wouldn't take a Hong Tao seriously."
"That's natural. I know Master Zhu has something to say. If I accepted your love in vain, I would feel guilty. Just say it."
Seeing Zhu Si's hypocritical expression, Wang Chengen felt really sick. He couldn't help himself just now. If he left directly, he would be like Zhu Si. Your face will be completely torn.
"It's okay. I just want Xichang to hear the news in recent days. We don't have to come out to check. We Jin Yiwei can handle it."
After hearing Zhu Si's words, Wang Chengen knew that the other party wanted to do something, otherwise he would not have stayed in the West Factory, fearing that he would delay his affairs.
"This little thing, for Mr. Wang, couldn't be simpler. Unless Mr. Wang doesn't want to do this?"
Zhu Si knew Wang Chengen's character very well and deliberately used this method to make him submit.
"My men were also seriously injured last night, and the rest of them pursued them all night. I plan to let them have a good rest. Everyone in the capital will rely on Lord Zhu."
Wang Chengen thought for a while, even if he didn't lead anyone to cause trouble, Dongchang would not treat it as invisible, and Wei Zhongxian would not talk to him so easily.
After thinking about it, Wang Chengen agreed, but he didn't want to always owe Zhu Si a favor.
Inside the palace
"Think about it, Hu Yunqing has already arrived with someone by this time, right?"
Chongzhen stood outside the palace, looking at the sky in the distance, and asked Xiao Shangzi sadly.
"Your Majesty, if we count the days, we have indeed arrived."
Xiao Shangzi knew what Chongzhen was concerned about, and he paid attention to it all the time.
"Has anything happened in the city recently?"
Chongzhen found that there were no memorials from Jinyi Weixi Factory recently, and asked Xiao Shangzi strangely.
In the past, these three departments were scrambling to hand over discounts and wanted to perform well in front of themselves. They found that they had not seen them for a long time. Except for some trivial things sent by Dongchang, there was nothing else.
"Your Majesty, you have been too tired recently. I will tell you. There is nothing important, so there is no need to submit any more papers."
"What? They are my eyes and ears. If they don't submit the information, how will I know what is happening in the city? Even if there is a riot in the city, the three of them are in the same boat and can deceive me!"
When Chongzhen heard that Xiao Shangzi had stopped Zhezi, he criticized and educated him angrily.
How dare you be so bold that you can let the three major departments of Ming Dynasty handle it directly without telling yourself. It was a complete turnaround.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This slave deserves death!"
Xiao Shangzi's original intention was really to consider the emperor, but there was still a letter sent to the palace. Last night, Wang Chengen received a letter, and he was temporarily deceived, so he made such a move.
Xiao Shangzi knelt on the ground shivering, knowing that Chongzhen was angry, and this matter was enough to kill him.
"Xiao Shangzi, you must remember, don't be deceived by others. You are my personal eunuch and the person I trust most."
Chongzhen looked at Xiao Shangzi and couldn't bear to kill him. He touched Xiao Shangzi's hat and said.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Shangzi will never betray you. If you violate it, I will die badly!"
When Xiao Shangzi heard what Chongzhen said, he gave himself a chance, so he quickly stretched out three fingers to swear.
"Okay, show me, I want to go out of the palace to see how the capital is doing now?"
Seeing that Xiao Shangzi said so sincerely, he couldn't live without someone by his side. Even if he looked for it, he couldn't find someone as smart as Xiao Shangzi.
"Slave, go right away."
Xiao Shangzi's whole back was soaked. When the emperor asked him to prepare the carriage, he felt relieved. Catch him in to prepare things.
Soon the carriage and the imperial guards were standing on both sides of the carriage.
"Your Majesty, where should we go first?"
Xiao Shangzi watched the emperor walk out. The carriage could not go without a purpose, so he asked the emperor who was sitting in the carriage.
"Even if you go to Jinyiwei, Zhu Si has been a bit lazy recently."
Chongzhen thought about Dongchang and Xichang. Wei Zhongxian and Wang Chengen had been following him before, and there would be no problems at all. The only thing he was worried about was Zhu Si. Ever since he was appointed as the commander, there have been problems every day.
This time I will also give him a surprise attack to see what he is doing every day.
"clear."
Xiao Shangzi started to drive the carriage, thinking about the direction of the Jinyiwei headquarters.
The carriage was walking on the road. Xiao Shangzi looked towards the roadside while driving the carriage.
"Your Majesty, there is a shop selling perilla cakes. They are delicious. Do you want to try them?"
Then he asked Chongzhen in the carriage behind him.
"There are plenty of such things in the palace."
Chongzhen heard that there was something to eat, but when he heard it was just suzi cakes, Chongzhen had no interest.
"Your Majesty, what you are eating is not Suzi Pancake. What you are eating is folk fireworks. Try it and see what the folks are eating now."
Hearing that Chongzhen didn't want to eat at all, Xiao Shangzi continued to talk to him.
"Okay, go buy some, and be sure to give the store money!"
After hearing Xiao Shangzi's words, Chongzhen hesitated for a moment and felt that Xiao Shangzi's words made sense.
