When Zhang Jia carefully told the news to Emperor Wanli, Emperor Wanli was furious and shouted: "Zhang Jia, take people to get Li Song immediately! Then send people to ransack his home and take a look. How much money has he received over the years?"
Zhang Jia secretly complained in his heart, but since Emperor Wanli gave the order, he had to carry it out, so he personally took the eunuch in charge of punishment out of the palace. Because everyone recognized Zhang Jia and the eunuch behind him, almost half of the people in the palace knew about him as soon as he left the house! And Zhang Jia will take Li Song to Emperor Wanli before the news spreads to Feng Bao!
Zhang Jia moved quickly. When he arrived at Li Song's residence and pushed in the door, Li Song was chatting and laughing with several eunuchs in the room. As soon as he saw Zhang Jia, he immediately stood up with a smile and said, "I don't know what the wind general is..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw six eunuchs behind Zhang Jia. He immediately recognized that these eunuchs were the eunuchs in the palace who specialized in criminal responsibilities, and his expression changed drastically at that time! The eunuchs who were chatting and laughing with him also recognized these people, and the room was completely silent for a while!
In the silence, Zhang Jia was heard saying coldly: "Long live the Lord to ask Li Song for questioning!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Song immediately turned pale and trembled all over! The other eunuchs breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly fled out of the door. Because they have seen this kind of situation many times in the palace, but few people who are taken away like this can come back alive! The few who came back alive were no longer in human form!
Before he could explain anything, four eunuchs rushed over from behind Zhang Jia like wolves and tigers. They cut off Li Song's arms and tied them with ropes. They also blocked his mouth and dragged him out. Walk. The other two eunuchs entered the room and began to return to inspect Li Song's residence.
Li Song, who was extremely desperate, looked around at the palace maids and eunuchs whose faces were full of surprise and fear. They seemed to want to ask for help, until he saw the little eunuch who had been following him disappear in the crowd in a flash. Just got some energy!
Although the palace was very large and Li Song tried his best to delay, he was still taken to Emperor Wanli's palace. As soon as he entered the door, the eunuch who escorted him gave him a hard push and pushed him to his knees. Li Song's knee was painfully knocked, but he still didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements! Although he was gagged and his hands were cut behind his back, he still kept bowing to Emperor Wanli.
Emperor Wanli was furious when he saw Li Song. Regardless of his identity, he stepped forward and pulled off the gag cloth, and asked sternly: "Are you Li Song? The head of Liuzhuang?"
Li Song said in a trembling voice: "Back to Lord Long Live, this servant is indeed Li Song, and is also the head of Liuzhuang?"
Emperor Wanli pointed to the letter on the table and said to Zhang Jia: "Read it to this beast!"
Zhang Jia picked up the letter and recited what Liu Haojia reported. The letter clearly listed what Li Song and his nephew Li Li had done! Listening to these things, Li Song trembled all over and collapsed on the ground!
After Zhang Jia finished reciting, two more eunuchs came in carrying a bunch of things. They came in and knelt on the ground and said to Emperor Wanli: "Long live my lord, the slaves ransacked Li Song's residence and obtained banknotes from several big merchants in the capital, totaling more than 8,000 taels! In addition, there were also three hundred silver ingots and scattered silver. Two more!"
Emperor Wanli was even more furious after hearing this! Thousands of taels of silver, what a low-level eunuch can accumulate! It turns out that everything stated in the letter is true! He wanted to scold Li Song, but he was holding a lot of words in his chest but could not say anything. He just pointed at Li Song and said loudly: "You damn slave, how dare you, how dare you..."
Emperor Wanli couldn't think of any words at the moment, so he waved his arms for a long time and then shouted loudly: "Just drag him out and beat him to death!"
Li Song cried and begged for mercy, but the four eunuchs who were escorting him rushed up immediately, blocked his mouth and dragged him out! Zhang Jiaze helped Emperor Wanli sit down and said: "Long live the Lord, you must not hurt the dragon's body! You must know that strong anger can hurt the body!"
Emperor Wanli pointed outside and said loudly: "Why aren't I angry? If he keeps doing this, how can the royal family have any reputation among the people? If it continues, the government will force the people to rebel!"
Zhang Jia hurriedly said: "Long live Lord, the matter is not at this level, but there are a few villains causing trouble! Later, Long live Lord conducted a strict investigation and punished a group of villains and settled down!"
At this time, the sound of "crack-pap-pap-pap" could be heard outside the hall, but just after seventeen or eighteen blows, the sound suddenly stopped! Emperor Wanli's originally calmer expression immediately turned gloomy again!
Without waiting for Emperor Wanli to speak, Zhang Jia immediately said: "Long live Lord, don't be anxious, I will go out and take a look!"
The Zhang family lifted his legs and walked out. By the way, he also picked up the letters on the table. Emperor Wanli looked at his back and thought for a moment before getting up and walking out, but he did not go out, he just opened his door along the crack in the door.
I saw Li Song in the yard being pinned to the ground by four eunuchs using long poles. He was twisting his body as if asking for help from someone. That man was also wearing the clothes of a eunuch, but Emperor Wanli didn't recognize him.
The eunuch whispered something to Zhang Jia. Zhang Jia replied a few words and folded Liu Haojia's letter, revealing only part of the content and handed it to him. After looking at it, the eunuch bowed his hands and left.
Seeing him leaving, Zhang Jia waved his hand to signal the eunuch to continue. At this time, Li Song had completely collapsed on the ground, motionless, and seemed to have lost the desire to survive. When Emperor Wanli saw the eunuchs raising their staffs again, he turned back and sat on the stool.
As soon as Zhang Jia entered, Emperor Wanli asked: "Who is coming outside?"
Zhang Jia didn't dare to hide it, so he bowed and said, "It's Feng Daban's godson, Feng Ning."
After hearing this, Emperor Wanli's face became even more gloomy! Zhang Jia guessed that Emperor Wanli probably remembered this incident on Feng Bao! Thinking of this, Zhang Jia couldn't help but start to mentally sort out the few confidant eunuchs around him, thinking that they would not cause trouble and bring it to him!
At this time, Emperor Wanli said leisurely: "Zhang Jia, do you think all the Imperial Villas in the world are like Liuzhuang?"
Zhang Jia was shocked when he heard this! He was afraid that Emperor Wanli would launch a thorough investigation of all the imperial estates in the world, which would open the lid on everything! He hurriedly said: "The incident of wanting to come to Liuzhuang is just an example! And if Feng Ning knows about it, it means that Feng Daban also knows about it. Maybe he will send someone to investigate thoroughly! Why don't you wait a few days and take a look? Let’s talk about the results?”
Seeing Emperor Wanli sneer and then say nothing, Zhang Jia knew that this meant tacit approval, so he felt relieved. It was really inappropriate for Emperor Wanli to conflict with Feng Bao at this time! At this time, Zhang Jia remembered firmly what Liu Haojia said some time ago!
