"Boss, do you want to continue the investigation?" Liu Mofeng looked at Xiao Chen.
"How sure are you?" Xiao Chen asked without answering.
"Only 60%." Liu Mofeng is a person who is very concerned about evidence. Although there is a lot of evidence at present, he is still very cautious, but for him, the 60% certainty is already quite high.
"Check!" Xiao Chen said.
"It's a very important matter. I think it's better for you, boss, to go find Mr. Zhu yourself before investigating." Liu Mofeng hesitated and said.
"What the hell? Zhu Xiaochuan couldn't have done this, right?" Wei Yuntian's chrysanthemum suddenly tightened.
"Bloody hell, it's better not to." Ye Baiqing was also a little nervous and said a curse word unintentionally.
"It would be nice if it was him." Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
These words were really incomprehensible. Everyone was confused when they heard it, but Xiao Chen understood it and didn't say anything. He just let out a long breath.
Early the next morning, Xiao Chen came to the Governor's Mansion in person to find Zhu Xiaochuan. He went straight to the point and said that he wanted to investigate his Jin Yiwei. The reason was that the assassins who assassinated the queen last time were all from the palace, and they could not be protected this time.
Zhu Xiaochuan was startled, what are you going to do?
Last time, they were just a few scattered assassins, and they had been found to be undercover agents of the Tianxuan Society. Later, the palace conducted several investigations, and in theory, they had been eliminated.
There are more than 20 assassins this time, and there must be at least 50 with the helpers. If they are all members of the Jin Yiwei, wouldn't I be the leader of the rebels?
Xiao Chen did not doubt that Zhu Xiaochuan was some kind of rebel leader, but he really doubted that Zhu Xiaochuan did this.
The prince had disobeyed the emperor several times, and the emperor was extremely dissatisfied with him. There was even news that the emperor had intended to abolish him.
Abolition of the crown prince is a big deal. At the very least, it is a quarrel between father and son, and flesh and blood. At the most serious level, it shakes the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty and shakes the political situation of the Zhou Dynasty!
The ministers will never agree.
Now the relationship between Li Wanjiang and the ministers is already very tense. If he wants to depose the prince again, then the court must not directly cause chaos?
As Li Wanjiang's closest confidant, Zhu Xiaochuan certainly knew what Li Wanjiang was thinking, so he might take a desperate risk and send someone to assassinate the prince and pass on the Tianxuan Society. This would kill two birds with one stone and help Li Wanjiang solve two big problems.
Of course, this possibility is slim, but at least it is theoretically possible.
Now it seems that there are many possibilities for this matter...
"Master Marquis, if you are a traitor, then there will be no one in Fengyang City who is loyal to the Emperor!" Xiao Chen could not say this clearly, he could only talk in circles.
"It's good that you know!" Zhu Xiaochuan said.
"How many Jinyiwei brothers are stationed in the palace?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Well, there are more than a thousand people in total. They have just been transferred from several outside guards to replace the defense. The leader of the general, Hao Fei, was also personally designated by the emperor. This general Hao was the former general of the Black Dragon Guard, and he also did The captain of the emperor's personal soldiers." Zhu Xiaochuan was more or less a little emotional when he talked about this matter.
"I just came back and I really don't know about this, but the emperor was really frightened after what happened last time. I think I did this out of caution." Xiao Chen actually knew, he just said that.
"Don't say that, kid. I have no complaints against the Emperor. It's better this way. I don't have to worry about things in the palace... To tell you the truth, that General Hao is the Emperor's confidant. , just listen to the emperor, I can't control them, so you can go and check if you want, you don't have to ask me." Zhu Xiaochuan said.
"How can this work? After all, he is also your subordinate. How can I check if you don't follow him?" Xiao Chen came here to drag Zhu Xiaochuan into trouble.
"Oops, I have a severe headache!" Zhu Xiaochuan suddenly covered his head and cried out in pain, "Who is that, hurry up and find a doctor, run away! It will hurt to death later!"
"It's not Mr. Hou, you..." There are three black lines on Xiao Chen's forehead. Damn it, are you pretending to be too obvious?
"I'm sorry, brother Xiao. I always get headaches every time autumn comes. In addition, I worked too hard in the past few days, so this time I have a particularly serious headache. At this moment, I feel like my head is going to explode. It's really... I can't talk to you anymore..." However, Zhu Xiaochuan was already in so much pain that he wanted to live.
What a slick guy!
Xiao Chen had no choice but to say goodbye.
Then he ran to find Wu Zicheng, the leader of the Forbidden Army. This guy went even further and disappeared. His subordinates said that Mr. Wu had gone out to inspect the surrounding garrison defense.
When will you come back? You can't say for sure, why can't it last only ten days and a half months...
Your grandma is a jerk!
Fengyang Mansion had no right to enter the palace to investigate the case, and neither did Song Sheng and others from the Detective Factory. Besides, without Zhu Xiaochuan's order, they would not be able to enter the palace to investigate their own people.
Besides, who doesn’t know that the royal guards in the palace are all the emperor’s confidants? Check them out? Looking for death!
The Jinyi Guards in the palace are actually quite special beings. They belong to the Zhenfu Division, and their immediate boss is Zhu Xiaochuan.
But the Director of Ceremonies also has the right to supervise them. He can even send them to handle some private matters without Zhu Xiaochuan's consent, and the Director of Ceremonies can be responsible, because the Director of Ceremonies is directly responsible to the emperor.
So when Xiao Chen came to Hao Fei as the eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, Hao Fei had to kneel down to greet him personally.
Hao Fei is about thirty years old, with a white face and no flesh on his cheeks. He has a hooked nose and triangular eyes. He always has an evil aura when he looks around. He looks like a person who is not easy to get along with at first glance.
"General Hao, please get up quickly and sit down to talk." Xiao Chen personally helped him up with a smile on his face, showing such kindness.
"Eunuch Xiao, why are you here?" Hao Fei sat down and directly asked Xiao Chen the reason for his visit without even saying a polite word, which was quite rude.
"Haha, I just came back from being ordered to escort the imperial concubine to her wedding. I also just learned that you, General Hao, are here to take up a post. We are all colleagues and brothers, and we will work together in the future, so I came over to have a look." Xiao Chen meant that since If you didn't go to see me, then I will deign to come and see you.
"Oh, I don't want to take that humble position anymore." Hao Fei naturally heard the implication of Xiao Chen's words, but he didn't care.
"General Hao, you are too polite. By the way, when I came back this time, I brought a lot of local specialties, as well as some filial piety money given to our brothers by Burma. Although it is not much, it is also my heart. General Hao, you How many people are there in this guardhouse now? Is there a roster? Take it out and let them divide it among the brothers according to their heads."
Xiao Chen was still very polite. Although he came to check his roster, he also found a reasonable excuse.
Before the matter was fully investigated, he was unwilling to offend General Hao Fei.
After all, he is the emperor's confidant, but he is the emperor's confidant... a serious problem.
"Eunuch Xiao, it's such a small matter, why do you have to go there in person? There's no need to get the roster. I'll just keep the money. I'll give you a receipt, and I'll share it with them later." Unexpectedly, Hao Fei was a little surprised. He didn't even give me any face and responded openly.
"Hao Fei, are you talking to our Mr. Xiao?" Wei Yuntian, who had been standing by him for a long time, immediately scolded him when he saw him being so rude.
