Soon the low-fireman in the imperial kitchen brought a few chopped green onion pancakes, a plate of chopped green onion and bean paste.

"Let's eat first." Zhu Yiliu raised his hand at Huang Xiaoyun.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Xiaomin is really hungry." Huang Xiaoyun saw the food radiating, and regardless of the occasion, he grabbed a scallion pancake and stuffed it into his mouth.

I ate three pieces in an instant, and didn't even need to mix scallions and bean paste.

Zhou Zuo brought another glass of water.

Huang Xiaoyun drank it in a few gulps, then wiped his mouth and said, "Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, Xiaomin hasn't finished speaking yet."

“Summary.”

"Your Majesty, a tragedy happened there shortly after Xiong Qing, the former governor of Baoding Prefecture, died. First, the house of Mr. Dong, who was under Xiong Qing, caught fire, but the house was locked outside, so his family, including servants, burned 18 people to death. That night, Master Dong happened to go to Xiong Qing's house, so he escaped by luck."

"It's outrageous!" Zhu Yili said angrily, "There are such a bold and reckless person?"

"Your Majesty, there are even more outrageous things. Master Dong was scared when he learned the news, so he immediately ran to the Governor of Northern Zhili, Lord Zhang Jiayin, and the current governor of Baoding Prefecture, to report the case, recalling who he had offended these days, but after thinking about it, he didn't think he had offended anyone. In the end, he remembered that there might be two."

"Which two?"

"He thought it was just possible. The first one was Eunuch Zhang in the palace..."

"Is it Zhang Dashou?" Zhu Yiliu blurted out.

"Yes, yes, it's him."

"Zhou Zuo, pass on my oral orders and ask Zhang Dashou to come over quickly." Zhu Yiliu made a quick decision.

"I obey the order." Zhou Zuo hurriedly went.

"What about the second one?"

"The second one is the mysterious man who once met Xiong Qing with Mr. Gong."

"Mysterious people, what kind of holiday do they have?"

"The mysterious man only said that he was called Mr. Gong. At that time, he did not tell others under his real name or his true face. When he met Xiong Qing privately, he instigated Xiong Qing to assassinate Lord Zhang Jiayin. But Master Dong felt it was absolutely impossible and tried his best to dissuade Xiong Qing. Therefore, Master Dong suspected that the mysterious Mr. Gong harmed him. Apart from those two, Master Dong could never remember who he had offended."

"But is this incident related to the case of Zhang Jingxiu's child being robbed?" Zhu Yiliu asked.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Gong is from the capital and seems to know many secrets. Even His Majesty's reforms in Baoding Prefecture are clear. Liu Shouyou commander suspected that he was a person around His Majesty, or at least had close contact with those around His Majesty."

"The person around me?" Zhu Yili's thoughts flew, and many names and images were circling in his mind, but he really didn't know who it was.

"Originally, Liu Shouyou Commander wanted to return to Beijing to report his life, but he had to supervise Baoding's Boliang family at all times and investigate the identities of the two bandits who committed suicide by biting their tongues, so let the little people convey it to Your Majesty. After Master Dong told the two suspects Zhang, Lord Song and Lord Liu, he disappeared mysteriously that night, and his whereabouts have not been found yet, so Liu Shouyou Commander also doubts whether it is related to the Liang Mansion."

"How can I see it?"

"Commander Liu said that although there seems to be no connection between the two cases, the spearhead is actually directed at His Majesty. Needless to say, the case of Zhang Jingxiu's child being robbed, and Master Dong's family was silenced. Commander Liu is basically certain that it was not the work of Eunuch Zhang. It is very likely that Mr. Gong, who instigated Xiong Qing to kill Zhang Jiayin, was not against His Majesty? Therefore, Commander Liu suspected that the two cases were done by the same person. After Xiaomin's words were expressed, he did not know whether it was clear."

"It's very clear. Please take a break for a while. When Zhang Dashou comes, I still have to ask you."

"Yes, your Majesty."

"Do you still want to continue listening?" Zhu Yili asked Li Zhiyi and Zheng Miaojin.

"Yes." Li Zhiyi nodded without hesitation.

"Then I will accompany Zhiyi, too." Zheng Miaojin said.

“Aren’t you tired?”

"I'm fine." Zheng Miaojin replied.

"I'm not tired either." Li Zhiyi replied, "I found that focusing on one thing can relieve fatigue."

"Okay." Zhu Yiliu didn't force himself, "Then you get up and walk around and wait for Zhang Dashou to come."

"Oh." Li Zhiyi stood up.

"Will there be someone betray you by your side?" Zheng Miaojin asked curiously.

"Who knows?" Zhu Yili really has no clue. Who would dare to betray him?

However, it is difficult to estimate human hearts and human nature, and he dare not promise that there will be no one. Isn’t there anyone who dares to use a knife on his head?

...

Zhang Dashou rolled and crawled in a hurry.

"Long live the Lord, please see Your Majesty!"

Zhang Dashou's voice was trembling.

"Do you know that Master Dong's family of eighteen under Xiong Qing died of a murderous death and Master Dong himself was gone?" Zhu Yiliu asked straight to the point.

"I know that the day after the accident happened in Master Dong's house, I received a letter from Song Feng." Zhang Dashou hurriedly replied, "He asked if it was done by me. Of course I didn't. If I wanted to harm Master Dong, I would do it at that time. Please observe clearly!"

Seeing Zhang Dashou looking frightened and aggrieved, Zhu Yili believed that he had already spared him. Even if Master Dong shook him out, he would not have any deep hatred with Master Dong.

Zhang Dashou then said: "If Song Qian really doubts me, he would not have just written a letter, and he never looked for me again."

Although Zhu Yiliu did not nod, he basically agreed. Song Li was mostly concerned about Zhang Dashou's status, otherwise he would not have written a letter.

"Such a big thing happened, nearly twenty lives, why didn't you mention it to me?"

"Long live the life of the emperor. This kind of case is investigated by the local government office, so I didn't say it."

Zhu Yili continued: "Before Xiong Qing died, he met Mr. Gong with Master Dong. He knew many secrets and suspected that Mr. Gong was a person around me. Is this person you?"

"I am definitely not a servant! Long lively Master," Zhang Dashou said hurriedly, "I heard from Master Dong that the mysterious Mr. Gong encouraged Xiong Qing to kill Zhang Jiayin, but Master Dong felt that this matter was too important, so he tried his best to persuade Xiong Qing to stop him. How could I have the courage to encourage Xiong Qing to assassinate the Governor of Beizhili?"

"Then why didn't you tell me about this?"

"Longsui, the mysterious Mr. Gong encouraged Xiong Qing to do it because he did not dare. Xiong Qing died later, and Song Qian took over, and he would never listen to others' instigation, so that Mr. Gong would not dare to do so. So I did not report to Mr. Wang, so as not to worry about Mr. Wang. But I told Zhang Jiayin and Song Qian that I was too careful to ask them if I didn't believe Mr. Wang. Please observe him clearly, and I will never have any lie."

"I don't know if you dare." Zhu Yiliu snorted.

"Long live the wise and wise!"

"Since you are very clear and have completely separated your relationship, then you should say that Master Dong's family died tragically, and he himself disappeared again. Who did it yet?"

"When I heard this news, my first feeling was done by the mysterious Mr. Gong."

"Who do you think it is possible for Mr. Gong?" Zhu Yiliu asked step by step.

"I don't dare to make random guesses, I only dare to say that it must be a big boss who opposes Long Live."

"I will give you another task. If you cannot complete it beautifully this time, you will settle the new and old accounts with you."

"Long live the orders."

"Boliang Shixun of Baoding has a younger brother named Liang Shixun. He has a big business in the capital. When I was the King of Lu, Fu Dahai checked his family's fortune, but later it was left unresolved because I left the capital. I heard that Liang Shixun is versatile and has a wide connection. I asked you to check whether he has had a joint relationship with his brother Liang Shixun recently, how many times have he connected together, and what the conversation was about during the joint. Remember to investigate it secretly."

"I obey the order." At this time, what Zhu Yiliu said was, how could Zhang Dashou dare to resist?

"If you don't have my will, don't do anything wrong, don't hurt others." Zhu Yiliu deliberately reminded.

"I won't."

"Then you go now."

"Yes, I will leave." Zhang Dashou was so scared that he was sweating in cold sweat. When he came out, he found that his shirt was already wet.
