"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and sign for him?"
Seeing this situation, the Dongchang factory guard on the side couldn't help but urge him.
"Oh, okay...ok!"
As soon as the words fell, the Dongchang factory guard in charge of the torture reacted immediately. He immediately took out the confession he had prepared, came to Chen Hong's body, picked up his index finger, and pressed it on it after it was covered with ink mud.
After all this was done, the Dongchang factory guard in charge of torture couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself: "This way, everything will be safe!"
Soon, the confession was secretly sent to Lu Fang's residence.
Lu Fang took the confession from the people in Dongchang and began to read it carefully.
"Well, annexation of land, corruption and bribery, lawlessness, cooperation with local gangsters, and jointly issuing usury money have caused the loss of people's lives and caused great resentment among the people..."
Soon, Lu Fang browsed through all the contents of the confession. After confirming that it was correct, he put it aside casually, looked at the person who came, and asked.
"By the way, how is that Chen Hong?"
Faced with Lu Fang's inquiry, the visitor did not dare to hide anything, and immediately said cautiously: "Eunuch Lu, to be honest, that Chen...Chen Hong is dead because he could not withstand the punishment!"
After Lu Fang received the news, there was not much surprise on her face. She just put the confession away silently and turned to speak.
"If you die, just die. Just clean up the head and tail!"
Seeing that Lu Fang did not pursue the matter, the stone that had been hanging in the heart of the visitor finally fell to the ground safely.
After that, he could be seen sworn to Lu Fang: "Don't worry, Eunuch Lu, we know what to do!"
Hearing this, Lu Fang nodded slightly and immediately gave instructions.
"Well, now that the matter is over, you can leave!"
"Yes, Eunuch Lu!"
Seeing that Lu Fang had issued an order to expel guests, the visitor did not dare to stay at all. After bowing to Lu Fang, he left Lu Fang's room with silent steps.
After the visitor left, Lu Fang looked away from the confession and said silently to herself: "It's getting late, so I'd better send this confession to His Majesty early tomorrow morning!"
…
One night passed in the blink of an eye, early in the morning, Yan Mansion.
At this moment, Yan Shifan was lingering in front of Yan Song's door, his face full of confusion.
On the one hand, Yan Shifan wanted to let Yan Song know as soon as possible the many events that happened at the Li Supervisor last night. On the other hand, he was afraid of disturbing Yan Song's rest.
While Yan Shifan was still hesitating about this, he heard a "squeak" and the door of the room was opened.
Not long after, Yan Song's doubtful voice sounded in Yan Shifan's ears: "Yan Shifan, what are you doing here?"
Hearing this, Yan Shifan suddenly came back to his senses, immediately looked at Yan Song, and replied respectfully: "Father, my child has something important to report to you!"
After Yan Song heard this, he looked Yan Shifan up and down before he spoke.
"Well, come in!"
"Yes, father!"
After that, Yan Shifan followed Yan Song's footsteps and entered the room. After Yan Song poured himself a cup of hot tea, he looked at Yan Shifan and asked.
"Tell me, what happened?"
When Yan Shifan saw this, he immediately calmed down, and after sorting out the words in his mind, he reported to Yan Song: "Father, this is what happened. Last night, the Chief of Ceremonies..."
Under Yan Shifan's narration, Yan Song quickly understood the ins and outs of the matter, but there was not even a trace of surprise on his face, as if he had expected all this.
After Yan Shifan finished describing the whole story, he saw that Yan Song didn't have much reaction to it, so he immediately plucked up the courage and asked Yan Song.
"Father, tell me, is there someone behind this matter..."
Seeing this, Yan Song just glanced at Yan Shifan and said decisively: "This is natural. Otherwise, would Chen Hong alone be able to obtain so much evidence?"
When Yan Song said this, he paused for a moment and then continued.
"In the final analysis, this Chen Hong is just a puppet pushed out by the people behind him!"
"Since he didn't succeed in bringing down Lu Fang, he has no use value anymore. Even if Lu Fang doesn't kill him, he won't live long and he will be silenced sooner or later!"
"After all, Lu Fang has been the eunuch of the Chief of Ceremonies for so many years, and has secretly blocked the way of many people!"
After Yan Shifan heard Yan Song's words, he suddenly understood, but then he thought of Yan Song's current situation, and a look of worry appeared on his face.
"Then father, you have been the chief minister of the cabinet for twenty years, isn't it..."
Yan Song took in the expression on Yan Shifan's face, nodded, and said in a deep voice.
"Well, you are right. The situation your father and I are currently in is similar to that of Lu Fang, or even worse!"
"It's not that I don't want to retreat, it's just that I can't retreat. Once I reach this position, many things will be out of my control. Besides, His Majesty still relies on me, an old man, to do things for him!"
When Yan Song said this, he turned his gaze to Yan Shifan and warned him.
"So, you usually don't cause any trouble for me, do you understand?"
When Yan Shifan heard this, he immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. He immediately looked stern and responded in a deep voice: "Yes, father, the child knows!"
Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Yan Song withdrew his gaze from Yan Shifan and turned to give instructions.
"Okay, if nothing happens, just leave first!"
"Yes, father!"
…
Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.
At this moment, Lu Fang was outside the Qianqing Palace, anxiously waiting for Jiajing's summons.
At dawn, Lu Fang took Chen Hong's confession and arrived outside Qianqing Palace early to wait.
Lu Fang has served Jiajing for so many years and has long been familiar with Jiajing's living habits. Therefore, she naturally knows what time Jiajing usually gets up.
"Well, I hope that His Majesty, after reading this confession, can reveal this matter as soon as possible!"
Lu Fang thought like this, and immediately looked away from the Qianqing Palace in front of her, muttering to herself silently.
Not long after, the figure of the guiding eunuch appeared not far away. The guiding eunuch came to Lu Fang with delicate steps and said respectfully.
"Eunuch Lu, Your Majesty wants you to come over!"
When Lu Fang heard this, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately nodded slightly to the guiding eunuch and said.
"Well, thank you!"
When the guiding eunuch heard this, he seemed to be greatly frightened. A look of panic suddenly appeared on his face, and he quickly declined.
"No, no, Eunuch Lu is serious!"
After that, Lu Fang did not have too many greetings with the guiding eunuch, but went straight up the stairs and walked step by step towards Qianqing Palace where Jiajing was.
At this moment, Lu Fang's pace returned to its previous state, steady and powerful. Lu Fang looked at the Qianqing Palace so close in front of her, with a look of perseverance on her face.
Not long after, Lu Fang was seen stepping into Qianqing Palace.
After he saw the figure sitting on the dragon chair, he felt relieved and immediately knelt down on the ground and said in a deep voice.
"My slave, please see Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
