"I wonder, Your Majesty, are you still used to having food and accommodation in Dongchang these days?"
"Don't think that if you hide in Dongchang, I won't be able to find you. Do you think that if you hide from me, you can avoid facing all this?"
Hong Tao also wanted to use Zhu Youxu's identity to do something, but he didn't expect that since he left, he never showed up again. This was what made him most angry.
"Where is the person? Where is the person I want you to find?"
In the lobby of the East Factory, Xiao San angrily beat the men who were sent out and asked them while beating him.
"It must have been taken away by a master. Fortunately, no one was left alive, and the people from the West Factory can't be blamed on us."
"If this were not the case, do you think I would still be standing here?"
Listening to the person with low hands, he was still talking glibly, which made Xiao San even more angry.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
Just when Xiao San was beating and scolding his men, a sharp sound came from outside.
"Xiao San of Dongchang is here."
Everyone quickly knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
"Xiao San temporarily handed over the post of governor of Dongchang and immediately went to the palace to face the saint. Who is going to take charge of Dongchang on his behalf? I appreciate this."
After listening to Xiao Hezi's reading of the imperial edict, Xiao San knelt on the ground with a pale face. He did not expect that he would be withdrawn.
"Xiao San, come with me to the palace!"
Looking at Xiao San kneeling in front of him, Xiao Hezi said anxiously.
Xiao Hezi was what the imperial edict meant. Unexpectedly, he suddenly changed his identity and became the governor of Dongchang.
In fact, He Yi is also very clear about what is going on here, and it is completely beyond Xiao San's control.
"I still have some things to deal with. How about meeting the saint at the palace later?"
Xiao San knew that he had no chance, so he could only fight the trapped beast.
"Duke Xiao, I know what you are thinking, so it's better not to resist needlessly!"
Although Xiao San tried his best to hide it, He Yi could still see the dissatisfaction in the other party's eyes.
Bang bang bang!
Then He Yi clapped his hands, and a large group of forbidden troops rushed into the Dongchang headquarters.
"Okay, I'll leave now."
Seeing the people coming with the imperial army, he was also guarding himself, so he stood up helplessly and said.
"Drive! Call!"
Just when He Yi led people out of the East Factory, some people appeared in front of them on horses and stopped in front of them.
"See King Dingbei!"
Seeing that the person on the horse was none other than Dingbei King Hu Yunqing, He Yi quickly knelt on the ground and said.
"No gift, what are you doing?"
Hu Yunqing was riding on the horse, looking at a group of people escorting Xiao San. Although his hands were not tied, he could tell that they were being escorted.
He looked at He Yi doubtfully and asked.
"Your Majesty allows Xiao San to enter the palace."
He Yi didn't understand why Hu Yunqing appeared, but he still said respectfully.
I also said goodbye before, saying that I would take a boat out from Weihai after finishing the Shanhaiguan local affairs.
"Okay, I'll finish my work and go to the palace to see His Majesty."
Hu Yunqing also suspected Xiao San, and some clues were revealed about Weihai's affairs, and everything pointed to Dongchang.
After taking a look at Xiao San, he decided to let him enter the palace first and then investigate on his own.
"I understand. I will tell your Majesty when I return to the palace."
"Stay here and leave with my order."
Xiao San noticed that Hu Yunqing looked at him with a murderous look in his eyes, but there was only a smile on the corner of his mouth.
I understand why Hu Yunqing sees him like this. He was the one who did what happened in Weihai. When Hu Yunqing returned to Beijing, he must have known what he did.
Hu Yunqing on the other side, riding on the horse, also saw the smile on Xiao San's face, his eyes full of anger.
"Your Majesty, where are we going now?"
Huan on the side saw Xiao San being taken away. They rushed to Dongchang to ask about Weihai. Unexpectedly, they were called away by the emperor.
"When you enter the East Factory, I don't believe that no one knows about it."
Hu Yunqing dismounted and walked towards the east factory.
"Your Majesty, you are not allowed to enter here."
Although Dongchang was surrounded and they were not allowed to leave, when they saw Hu Yunqing was about to go in, the Jin Yiwei at the door hurried forward and said with some embarrassment.
The Jin Yiwei who stopped Hu Yunqing was also very uneasy.
The entire Ming Dynasty knew about King Dingbei's evil reputation, so he had the courage to stand up this time.
"I'm just here to ask some questions, and I won't embarrass you!"
Juan stopped the Jin Yiwei at the door, and Hu Yunqing glanced at him. He was not the kind of murderous person, so there was no need to go on a killing spree.
"Okay, Your Majesty, please come inside."
"Eunuch He, I wonder why your Majesty wants me?"
Xiao San, who was sitting on the carriage, looked at He Yi next to him and asked.
I felt very uneasy and didn't know what I was going to do this time.
"Master Xiao, if you haven't done anything bad, don't be nervous."
He Yi saw that Xiao San was a little uneasy and said to him with a smile.
"well."
The corner of Xiao San's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Hearing that He Yi was nodding at him, he could only sit aside honestly.
Thinking back on the things I had done, I had already taken care of them, and there were no flaws.
"We're here, Mr. Xiao, come with me."
After arriving at the palace gate, He Yi got out of the car first and said to Xiao San on the car.
"Xiao San of Dongchang meets His Majesty!"
After Xiao San entered the hall and saw the emperor on the dragon throne, he quickly knelt on the ground and said.
"Xiao San, it was very lively last night!"
After listening to His Majesty's words, Xiao San also noticed Wang Chengen standing next to him, and understood in his heart that it must be Wang Chengen who was suing him.
"Last night, the spies reported that King Xianghuai had appeared. I quickly sent someone to arrest him, but he was still a step too late."
Xiao San raised his head and cupped his hands, and answered calmly.
"But I heard that it's your Dongchang people who are covering Zhu Youxu?"
After listening to Xiao San's words, Chongzhen asked him with some dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty, don't believe other people's slander. It is absolutely impossible for our Dongchang to protect Zhu Youxu. I think it is very likely that someone is sowing discord!"
Xiao San glanced at Wang Chengen who was standing aside, and found that the latter was also looking at him. He knew that Wang Chengen, the latter, wanted to kill him this time.
"Hmph, stir up trouble and bring the body up to me!"
Wang Chengen already knew that Xiao San would not admit it, so he said to his subordinates outside the palace.
Soon several corpses were carried into the hall.
"Master Xiao, don't you know who the corpse here is?"
Wang Chengen opened a piece of white cloth, looked at Xiao San and asked.
"There is indeed someone from Dongchang here, but I don't know what he did!"
Xiao San looked at these people. They were all registered in Dongchang. He could find them if he checked them. Even if he tried to quibble, it would be useless. He could only put aside his relationship with them.
"You still refuse to change your mind. Everything written on it is your crime! Can you see which one has wronged you?"
Chongzhen listened to the latter's quibbling, covered his head angrily, threw the fold in his hand in front of him and asked.
