Zhang Jing had actually heard of it, but he just didn't report it to Emperor Wanli in time.

Because it was involved in Zhu Yili, he was afraid that Emperor Wanli would ask, so he didn't know who to help.

But I didn't expect that Sun Xian was very troublesome.

It's okay, but he was specially summoned by Emperor Wanli, so he had to bite the bullet and go.

At this time, Sun Xian had retired.

Emperor Wanli asked straight to the point: "Have you heard about Jiangling City?"

"I don't know what the Lord Long Live is referring to?"

"There has been a lot of news in Jiangling City recently. Why did the city be closed for three days?"

"Oh, it turns out that I have heard of the matter that Master Wansui refers to. I heard that it was because Yang Kang, who had followed Master Wansui to Jiangling City, was brave enough to steal 500,000 taels of silver notes from Prince Lu, and the wedding gift given to Master Wansui to me, so Jiangling City locked down the city and took the arrest."

"Can the news be true?"

"It should be true." Zhang Jing replied, "The city lockdown is rare, and of course it requires a legitimate reason."

"Do you think this reason is justified?"

"I think it's okay."

Emperor Wanli was silent for a while and then said, "I heard that Yang Kang was arrested, but I did not send him to the yamen for disposal. If Yang Kang was lynched, would you feel it was legitimate?"

"Lynch? Who used lynching on Yang Kang?"

"Who else can you? Of course it's your master."

"Of course it is not allowed to use lynching, but I haven't heard of this!"

"I'll give you another task."

"Long live, please tell me."

"Send someone to secretly investigate Yang Kang's whereabouts. Is he alive or dead? Why did he escape? How did you deal with it after being caught by your master?"

"Long lively, Yang Kang is just a poor eunuch, why should I check it?"

Zhang Jing looked puzzled.

"He was sent by me at the beginning." Emperor Wanli replied truthfully.

"Oh, so he is playing for Master Long live?"

"I haven't heard from him for a long time, and I don't know if he has changed his mind."

"It's just that, it's probably difficult to send someone to Jiangling City to investigate secretly, and it may not be a result." Zhang Jing said worriedly again, "I have been to Jiangling City and I have heard of it. People there regard my master as a god and will definitely protect me. If this happens, it will definitely not be easy to investigate."

"Do your best." Emperor Wanli nodded and murmured: "I suspect that Yang Kang was not arrested because of theft."

"What could that be the reason?"

"Maybe I discovered some huge secret."

"..." Zhang Jing didn't say anything. He wondered whether Emperor Wanli would test him this time?

"Sun Xian also said that your master committed the crime of usurpation and was too close to the officials of Jiangling City."

"This dead guy who likes to spread rumors!" Zhang Jing cursed in his heart, but said, "I just can't be low-key, what can I do?"

"Send more people to go there. I have always felt that something might happen in Jiangling City recently."

"Long live, what can happen over there?" Zhang Jing asked with sincerity.

"Be careful to sail the ten thousand-year-old ship."

"Thank you for your trust."

"I remember when your master was deprived of his title and demoted to a commoner, who would have been willing to leave the capital with him? Yang Kang would not have gone without my instructions. Now that his life and death are unknown, I have to give him justice."

"I understand."

"It's good that you understand. It's so surging around the world, you are the only one who knows me." Emperor Wanli said with emotion.

This is not the first time I have said this.

Zhang Jing felt deeply guilty when he heard this and said, "I am deeply favored by Long Live, and I am so frightened!"

"Go, give me a result as soon as possible."

"Sister obeys the order."

Zhang Jing retreated and happened to meet Sun Xian on the way back to Silijian.

"Why do you talk so much?"

When Zhang Jing saw Sun Xian, he was furious and scolded him in a scattered manner:

"What do you tell Master Wansui about Jiangling City? What are you doing? The lockdown and unblocking are all decisions made by the local government. What are you involved in? Now Master Wansui asks you to investigate. What do you think Prince Lu is easy to talk to? Then send you there."

Sun Xian's face changed and hesitated and asked, "Registration, investigate? What to investigate?"

"Yang Kang was the secret spy sent by Emperor Wansui to stay with Prince Lu. Now his life and death are unknown. Emperor Wansui suspected that he was arrested not because of theft, but because he discovered some ulterior motives, so he asked me to send someone to investigate secretly and give Yang Kang an explanation. You will be the one who will lead the way this time."

"..." Sun Xian didn't react at once, and stood there and didn't know what to say.

"Just you talk too much, Yang Kang is just a little eunuch, he will die if he dies."

"Eunuch Zhang, I tell you that it's not because of this." Sun Xian hurriedly defended himself, "but because Prince Lu was able to mobilize all the yamen runners in Jiangling City to serve him overnight. I have to be careful!"

"What should I guard against?" Zhang Jing scolded, "Will you guard against Prince Lu colluding with the court to rebel together?"

"..." Sun Xian was criticized again and had nothing to say.

"It's decided. This time you go to Jiangling, Master Wansui is to investigate secretly. Since you are the one who has been to Master Wansui, you can clean up yourself."

"..." Sun Xian looked like a dead mother-like expression. He wanted to argue but didn't dare. He thought he could only ask Emperor Wanli for justice in a while.

However, Zhang Jing shouted as if he had seen through his thoughts: "Tell you, don't go to the Master Long Sui to complain later. Don't you like to show off your power? Just go to Jiangling City for a walk."

"I, I..." Sun Xian hesitated.

"What do you think I am? It's up to you to go to Jiangling, I've decided." Zhang Jing raised his hand and said domineeringly. He thought to himself, he can't deal with you.

"..." Sun Xian wanted to die, but he didn't dare to refute it.

In this way, Zhang Jing sent Sun Xian to Jiangling City to investigate Yang Kang's life and death situation.

He had been to Jiangling and knew that Zhu Yiliu had influence there. Not to mention secret investigations, even open investigations, it felt difficult. I remember how much effort it took to block the Zhang Grand Secretary’s Mansion just for the first time!

Although he didn't know how much Yang Kang had committed, Zhu Yili used the manpower of Jiangling City to capture him, which shows that he violated Zhu Yili's bottom line.

Even if Yang Kang was not handed over to the yamen for disposal, if you want to investigate Yang Kang's life and death situation, you may have to go to the Zhang Grand Secretary's Mansion, which is the current Zhu Group.

It would be strange if this is not tricky.

It is very likely that there will be no return.

What's more, Yang Kang's unclear background was a secret spy sent by Emperor Wanli.

If this love has been known by Zhu Yili, then Yang Kang will be in trouble.

At this time, going to Jiangling City to secretly investigate Yang Kang's whereabouts and life and death is like licking blood from the knife.

Sun Xian regretted it and regretted not having told Emperor Wanli about the situation in Jiangling City.

But it’s too late to regret it. How dare he not obey Zhang Jing’s instructions?

He was not like Zhang Peng, the butler of Zhang Jing, who knew that Emperor Wanli was wary of Zhang Jing. He only knew that Zhang Jing was the most popular person around Emperor Wanli, and it would be easy to drive him away.

Besides, for Sun Xian, he has always been afraid of Zhu Yili, and he still owes Zhu Yili a favor.

But to be precise, it is not called owing favors, but offended Zhu Yili for no reason and was forced by Zhu Yili to agree to do three things.

Fortunately, I went to Jiangling City this time to investigate.

But despite this, he was worried that he would die, after all, Yang Kang was captured by Zhu Yiliu.

How should he start when he goes? He is afraid when he thinks.
