All the men in the backyard were detained by the government officials, and in order to take into account Yan Shenggong's face, all interrogations were completed in Yan Shenggong's house.
After Kong Hongxu's death, Li immediately blocked the news.
But someone spread the news in advance.
Early in the morning, Xu Youzhen had just had breakfast and was thinking about going out to Duke Yansheng's mansion. Zhao Cong entered Xu Youzhen's room in a panic without even knocking on the door.
Seeing Zhao Cong in such a panic, Xu Youzhen was immediately angry.
A thousand households in Jinyiwei are so reckless. Isn't this embarrassing to His Majesty?
At that moment, Xu Youzhen wanted to educate Zhao Cong, but Zhao Cong's next words made Xu Youzhen lose the idea of educating Zhao Cong.
"Censor of Xudu, there are rumors on the street that something big happened in Duke Yansheng's mansion..."
"Are some people making trouble?"
"No, it's a dead person..."
"who."
"Kong Hongxu, Duke of Yansheng."
Hearing this, Xu Youzhen immediately stood up and frowned.
This is someone playing a game.
In Qufu now, apart from himself and Menda, the only one left with the ability to make a decision is Li Xian's son Li Jie.
Li Jie and himself have already reached an agreement, and he has no motive to make matters worse.
It can only be Menda.
Menda's move was actually of little significance, and it did not mean that he would take action personally. He only needed to pass the matter that Yan Shenggong had negotiated with him to the person in contact with him in the Kong family, and that person would definitely take action.
Taking the risk of His Majesty the Emperor being threatened, flexing his muscles in front of Xu Youzhen also tells Xu Youzhen that he is not only ruthless, but also courageous, even I dare to instigate people to kill Yan Shenggong.
The two of us cooperate, that is, joining forces. I can make your political enemy die without anyone noticing...
But if Menda knew that he had a good deal with Kong Hongxu, and even knew the details of some of the harsh requirements that Kong Hongxu agreed to, it could only prove that there was a mole around him.
Menda's personal mole.
There was still a gap between the realms of Li Jie and Xu Youzhen. He realized that it was not someone from Jinyiwei who made the arrangements, and judged that Menda did not have the courage, but Xu Youzhen saw the essence of the matter at a glance.
Menda did not need to take action. He would even leave loopholes to clear the emperor's suspicions. He simply showed his strength and told Li Xian and Xu Youzhen about their existence.
Then Xu Youzhen looked at Zhao Cong and frowned: "Zhao Cong, the people under your command are somewhat unclean."
"Censor of Xudu, what do you mean by this?" Zhao Cong was a little panicked upon hearing this.
"Hmph, what do you mean? Someone told Menda about the conversation between me and Yan Shenggong."
"I know that I need to report to Your Majesty what happened, but Your Majesty did not arrange for you to be with me just to inform Menda."
Zhao Cong hurriedly said: "Censor of Xudu, brothers have followed you to North Korea and Jiangnan, so you can trust me."
Zhao Cong's panic made Xu Youzhen notice something.
Xu Youzhen sneered: "Is it you, Zhao Cong, who secretly colluded with Menda for the sake of his future..."
After Zhao Cong heard Xu Youzhen's words, he immediately knelt on the ground: "Sir, subordinates, subordinates are also forced to do so. If I don't listen to my colleagues, I will have to take off my bullfighting uniform... "
"Menda just took the position and started staring at me. Did Menda work hard to promote you to your position as Qianhu?"
"yes."
After Xu Youzhen listened to Zhao Cong's words, she slowly sat down.
"Hmph, there are some tricks to coerce and induce, but he is too ruthless and ruthless and will use any means. Such a person will not survive long."
After saying these words, Xu Youzhen looked at Zhao Cong who was kneeling on the ground. The game between big shots would always affect the fate of many people. When Zhao Cong faced his immediate boss, he simply had no strength to resist. .
Although Xu Youzhen held a high position, Jinyiwei was a special system, and Xu Youzhen did not have the ability to intervene in it. This is why Zhao Cong could only give in when faced with threats.
Xu Youzhen's true journey to the top of power began after returning from North Korea. While in North Korea, Zhao Cong followed Xu Youzhen all the time, and it was he who hacked the Shouyang Lord to death...
"Zhao Cong, I won't arrest you this time, and you can still contact Menda in the future. However, when I need you to do something, you must do it honestly..."
Xu Youzhen is a rational person, he wants to maximize Zhao Cong's role...
After hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Zhao Cong suddenly raised his head.
"Sir, what you said is true..."
"How could I lie to you? The death of Duke Yan Sheng must have been caused by the internal strife of the Kong family. It has nothing to do with the news you passed on. The government will also investigate according to the rules. Within three days, the person who used clumsy means will be found. People are about to be arrested, and the things that the court wants to do must still be done. The only ones who have a bad reputation are the Kong family themselves, which have nothing to do with the court or your majesty."
"Since false news is flying all over the city, you should also send people out to spread some real news."
After the arrangements were made, the anxious Zhao Cong left Xu Youzhen's room.
In fact, he was very conflicted at the beginning, but facing Menda's coercion, he really had no choice. In addition, Menda didn't want to know many things. This was the first time he revealed to Menda. After hearing the news, Xu Youzhen caught him...
Will there be a reckoning later...
At this time, Xu Youzhen gave up her plan to go to Duke Yansheng's mansion.
After this incident, the relationship between Xu Youzhen and Zhao Cong will not be as close as before, but Xu Youzhen still has to pretend to trust Zhao Cong, because Zhao Cong will play a fatal blow to Menda in the future. decisive role.
Xu Youzhen is proficient in the art of celestial phenomena, and of course she also believes in the theory of fortune.
The sky is out of season, the sun and moon have no light, the earth is out of season, vegetation cannot grow, water is out of season, the wind and waves are uneven, people are out of season, and luck is blocked.
Although Menda is a complete lunatic, Xu Youzhen can also see that this person will have great fortune in the next few years.
And Zhao Cong will be the one to break the trend...
As for why Xu Youzhen wanted to kill Menda, the reason was very simple. Menda had crossed the line, and now he dares to do things that cross the line. If he is trusted and promoted by His Majesty in the future, wouldn't he become even more arrogant and become a traitor to the Cholera Court?
Although others said that Xu Youzhen was such a traitor, he knew in his heart that he was unprincipled at most. He could not afford to be the traitor to the Cholera Court and had little interest in it, but he was interested in eradicating those traitors. Traitor...
The news that Kong Hongxu, the 60th-generation grandson of Saint Kong, who is now the Duke Yansheng conferred by His Majesty, and the most holy priest who paid homage to Saint Kong, was killed, became an anecdote on the streets within a day.
And on the second day, new news came out.
It is said that those who killed Shenggong Yan were either outsiders or members of their own family. Because Lord Yan wanted to donate money to our navy at the seaside, they had internal strife, so they killed Shenggong Yan...
Under the control of thoughtful people, this news gradually replaced the first news and became the mainstream.
Wherever there are people in the streets, there will be discussions.
"It's such a tragic death..."
"Yes, my family was so cruel..."
"By the way, how much money did he donate?"
"One million taels, some people say two million taels..."
"Be a good boy, you're a good boy, so much money..."
After the second rumor became mainstream, the second uncle of the Kong family who lived in the inn became a little anxious...
