"I promise that this person will never be able to compete with His Highness the Crown Prince!"
If he really had such a big backer, he wouldn't have been caught. The little eunuch could only secretly cry out that he was unlucky.
This guy is really good at beating around the bush, and he doesn't forget to test himself. He is actually an undercover material. Yaoji got impatient and asked sternly: "Then you won't tell me? Are you waiting to be punished?"
If you dare to tease me, you just don't want to live long.
"Yes...yes...it was Eunuch Yan...who ordered the villain to do it!"
After the little eunuch was in a dilemma, he finally told the truth about his boss.
"Eunuch Yan? Which Eunuch Yan? Tell me your full name!"
I'm afraid there are more than a dozen Eunuch Yan in the rear residence, but it shouldn't be difficult to investigate, after all, there are only a few in high positions.
"Yan... Siyin!"
After saying that, he continued to kneel in the hall with his butt stuck out, not daring to say anything again.
Depend on!
Madan, I was shocked!
That’s it? Do you still dare to claim a high and powerful position?
Unable to believe this kid's one-sided words, Yaoji asked with a cold face: "What's the proof for your empty talk?"
We can't expect to retain any evidence. Most of this kind of thing is unfounded, but we still need to ask.
"Report...report to His Highness the Crown Prince, this servant only withdraws fifty taels of silver from Eunuch Yan every month, without leaving any certificate!"
In the end, the little eunuch also knew that what he said was too vague and unfounded. He was probably setting up others and was going to die.
Yao Ji was also a little disappointed. Then he thought again that there might be a way to do this, so he asked, "Have you ever left any silver you took from him?"
As long as you have money, even just one ingot, you have a chance to swindle this guy's money.
"Yes! Yes! I just got fifty taels of silver from Eunuch Yan last night, but I haven't had time to buy the purple gold bond yet!"
After saying that, he took out a piece of silver from his sleeve robe, put it in his palm, and raised it respectfully above his head.
Seeing that Li Fengxiang was going to get it, Yaoji hurriedly told him not to take it with his hands, but to hold it with his sleeves.
The latter obeyed the order and carefully placed it on the small table in front of the prince, and then ordered the left and right to fetch what the prince wanted from the inner factory office.
Yao Ji asked the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground again: "Xiao Lian, was it you who told the news in the main hall to the servants of Marquis Yang Wu?"
The servant can no longer be captured because Marquis Yangwu's mansion has not been captured yet.
According to the previous order, only one corpse would be received after the attack.
"Slave... I know I was wrong, and I hope... Your Highness... will show mercy!"
After saying that, he started crying miserably again, as if he had been greatly wronged.
"Hold it back to me. I'm warning you that if you cry here again, you will be dragged out and chopped!"
Madan!
Women are messing around, what a noise!
If not intimidated, they will always get worse.
Sure enough, Xiao Lian, who was so frightened, immediately stopped speaking, without the tearful expression of begging for mercy before.
Xiao Lian also knew that no matter how young the prince was, he was still a prince. If he spoke with great care, if he angered the prince, he would be in trouble.
If you tell the prince everything you know, and confess everything to the prince, maybe you can really bring him back to life.
After a while, the defendant came in from the main entrance, walked to the middle of the hall, knelt on the ground, and greeted in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty Yan Siyin pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Queen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I wish the Queen a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years! I wish the Prince a thousand years." , Chitose, Chitose!”
When he first entered the door, Yan Siyin saw the two slaves kneeling at the door, and secretly screamed that something was not good. Forced by the situation, he had to act according to the situation, and must not expose any flaws.
This eunuch was also the eunuch favored by the scapegoat. Yao Ji asked in a gentle tone: "May I ask Mr. Yan, six years ago, when he led the army with the commander-in-chief Zhang Yingchang to Shanxi to encircle and suppress the rogue bandits, how much money did he plunder from various places?"
According to the financial report provided by Li Jizhou, his private accountant, this guy only bought 5,000 taels of purple gold bonds, and adding a zero at the end was enough. This was clearly not giving him face.
What is most important in the arena?
Of course it’s face!
A eunuch who was deeply favored by the emperor and went out to supervise the army for a long time said that his worth was meager. Do you believe it?
Yan Siyin was really shocked by the accusation of rehashing old scores. Someone might have filed a memorial, but he still would not admit it immediately: "When the minister was ordered to supervise the army, he worked diligently and conscientiously, and did not dare to neglect it. I hope His Highness will notice clearly!"
No matter what, I can't follow in the footsteps of Gao Qiqian and others. Without conclusive evidence, I can just survive the difficulties.
These bitches are really smelly and tough. After eating and drinking without saying anything, Yaoji shook out another person: "I'm afraid the Fenyang County magistrate who was blackmailed by you and committed suicide in anger will not approve of your ridiculousness. words?"
This is a dead person, and there is no evidence that he is dead, but it is still okay to bring him out and scare him.
Yan Siyin insisted that he was not guilty and denied it flatly: "Your Majesty, I am in charge of the military affairs at that time. I followed General Zhang to fight in various places. I really don't know anything about Fenyang Magistrate."
Who can remember clearly what happened six years ago? If there is no real evidence, even if the prince is dissatisfied, there is nothing he can do about it.
This man wanted to die, and there was nothing he could do to stop him, so Yao Ji had to start a new line: "Okay, then please tell me, Eunuch Yan, why does this ingot of silver presented by someone have my father-in-law's fingerprints on it? Is it possible? Eunuch Yan already has enough money to reward the slaves in the palace on my behalf?"
It is not difficult to extract fingerprints. If you have a circle of transparent glue and stick it on the silver, you can extract a whole fingerprint.
Yan Siyin didn't know what the prince's purpose was, and it was difficult for him to explain it. He didn't dare to answer hastily to avoid being exposed, so he had to think about it hastily.
Seeing this, Yaoji urged: "Since Eunuch Yan is in trouble, let me put it another way. I wonder how much money Eunuch Yan got from Marquis Yangwu? He worked so hard to be a slave to Marquis Yangwu. You are really dedicated!" Could it be that we should coordinate internally and externally, depose this palace, and follow Marquis Yangwu to the throne?"
Originally, the focus of today's court meeting was to clean up the nobles, but I didn't expect that there would be people who were humiliating themselves. What an unexpected gain.
These reckless bitches dare to do whatever they want in the palace, relying on the favor of their father who blames them. Even if there is no such plan now, there is no guarantee that we can completely trust them in the future.
Especially those eunuchs who were recorded in history books as being plundered everywhere and with criminal records. Yaoji has never let down his guard against them. After beheading them and waiting for Big 4 in the queen house, it is their turn.
Yan Siyin was sure to use the emperor as a shield to block the prince's accusation: "Your Majesty, your highness, although I have been favored by the Holy Family for a long time, I must not dare to indulge. I should always bear in mind your majesty's teachings, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and be determined." Being unswerving is a heart of ice, as evidenced by heaven and earth!"
If the scapegoat was in office, he might actually believe these generous words. Unfortunately, the scapegoat has been overthrown, and the few servants who were favored in the past have no backers.
In addition to Wang Chengen, the newly-emerged Li Jizhou, Yang Jinchao, Fang Zhenghua and others were grateful for the prince's support and deliberately kept a sufficient distance from the emperor's servants.
Because these people who rely on their elders and sell them out may one day contradict the prince. If they are found out in the interrogation, they will not be able to escape the involvement, so it is better to make a clear distinction first.
Wang Chengen also worked extremely diligently and did not dare to slack off at all. If it were not for the deliberate protection of the prince and being bitten to death by Gao Qiqian, he would have been beheaded in public yesterday.
Once the emperor and the courtiers were together, His Majesty wandered away, and you never knew when you woke up. The thickest thighs in the palace were the prince and the queen, and they were still mother and son. As long as you were not a fool, you should know which way to go.
However, there are always some people who are used to indulgence and take a chance, thinking that after punishing Gao Qiqian and other four senior chamberlains, the matter is over. In order to stabilize the palace, the prince will not pursue it further.
Yao Ji no longer wanted to confront him tit for tat, but retreated instead of advancing: "In this case, let's face it with a straight face. Feng Xiang, send someone over to help Eunuch Yan sort out his property!"
The palace gate was opened just this morning. Although people can enter and exit with their badges, no items are allowed to be taken out of the palace except excrement buckets. The chamberlain has no chance to transfer property.
This makes it easy to catch turtles in a urn. As long as there are boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, they can't be hidden. It is really difficult for a eunuch to have his own privacy in the palace.
Yan Siyin was still tough and tried to stop Li Fengxiang: "Wait a minute, Wei Chen is open-minded and asked himself, why does His Highness the Crown Prince want to embarrass Wei Chen?"
If the inner factory eunuch sent someone to ransack the house, it would be all over. It's not like Yan Siyin never thought of hiding the treasure. Although the treasure in the palace was less than half of the total net worth, the amount was still too much.
Yao Ji waved his hand and gave Li Fengxiang the final order: "Go and do your work and ignore this beast!"
The title changed from "Eunuch Yan" to "this beast". This was considered to be a confirmation for Yan Siyin, and the matter was about to come to light.
Gao Qiqian and others are still aware of current affairs, but they didn't expect Yan Siyin, a fool, to dare to take the blame father out, wishful thinking that I can let him go.
Let you go Madan!
This is the first person in these days who doesn't give me face. Even if it's my cheap grandfather, at least it's better to lie. This guy dares to come up to me. I'm really impatient.
Chief Assistant Xue Guoguan was stunned. What on earth is going on? Why are the prince and the chamberlain still confronting each other?
Isn't there a meeting today to brainstorm ideas? Is the tax issue still unresolved?
But he could only keep these questions in his stomach, and whoever interrupted at this time was seeking death.
In any case, the person who went to court today is finally here, and all kinds of weird things have happened, and he will be able to boast about it for a while when he returns.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yan Siyin had no choice but to resort to the last resort: "Your Majesty the Queen, Weichen has been following your Majesty for many years, and there is no credit, but hard work! Weichen kindly asks Her Majesty the Queen to remember that Weichen has worked hard for Your Majesty and worked hard without complaining. Your Majesty, please take back your life! I will be grateful to you, and I will definitely die!"
