"This time they acted more covertly, so it's almost certain."
"But there is something quite strange. They had transported these grains to border areas before, and their purpose at that time was to support the people in those border areas to fight against foreign enemies."
"However, after the food entered the border areas, very little of it entered the hands of the people, and most of it was missing, so I doubt..."
Xue Wenju also spoke.
Originally, Zhu Youde assigned Xue Wenju to inspect the water channels first and then determine the water channels for building the canal.
However, while checking some literature, Xue Wenju discovered this matter.
And these things were only mentioned briefly in those documents, and it seemed that they wanted to get things done hastily.
"These grains are transported to the Huns." Zhu Youde said slowly with a cold face.
Xue Wenju was actually hinting at this just now, but if Xue Wenju said such a thing, he would be worried that Zhu Youde would not believe it.
After all, the chance that the minister is a spy of the Huns is really very low.
However, Zhu Youde had already received some news before, so he was naturally convinced of this.
It had been so many years, and Zhu Youde didn't know what else Zhang Fu'an and Zhang Yuanhai had done.
This is simply turning the world upside down under my own hands.
If we can let them go if something like this happens to them, then the majesty of the royal family will completely disappear.
"Go on." Zhu Youde glanced at them and said.
"In addition, we also found out that the housekeeper of Zhang Mansion is closely related to this matter. However, the housekeeper of Zhang Mansion suddenly disappeared a few days ago. It is said that he was killed by a gang of gangsters.
Someone captured it and asked for a ransom, which is really strange."
The one who spoke was the Plum Blossom Secret Guard.
Hearing this, Zhu Youde just nodded.
In fact, this was what Zhu Youde had previously entrusted Di Yun to do.
Those charlatans who arrest people are actually more covert. They have already asked a lot of things from the mouth of the housekeeper.
The questioning methods of those quacks are actually a bit too simple.
Some of these methods were given to them by Zhu Youde.
"Since everything is ready now, there is no need to waste time."
There was a trace of ferocity in Zhu Youde's eyes.
He had arranged for people to do such things a few days ago, but he didn't expect them to be so fast.
If this is the case, Zhu Youde will definitely not wait any longer.
If you continue to waste time here, you won't be doing yourself much good.
In Zhu Youde's eyes, if he wants to counterattack, he must do it quickly.
At this time, all the civil and military officials in the court were already waiting.
But for some reason, the court today felt a little more depressing.
And there are many guards at the door now, all of them guarding there.
"Your Majesty has arrived."
As Wang Zhonghou's voice fell, Zhu Youde also slowly came to the court.
After the ministers shouted long live the mountain, Zhu Youde also started the topic.
"Today, I asked you to come here early to resolve a matter." Zhu Youde looked at the ministers in front of him and said.
Zhang Yuanhai still did not come to court, after all, he had only been ill for three days.
Under this situation, Zhu Youde would probably have an easier time dealing with Zhang Fu'an.
For some reason, Zhang Fuan suddenly felt a little uneasy after hearing Zhu Youde's words.
He always felt that the words Zhu Youde said seemed to be meant for him.
"I believe everyone has heard of the previous water transport case. This time I came here just to solve the water transport case."
Zhu Youde's voice was particularly loud, and after he said these words, the expressions of the ministers also changed.
After all, this water transport case has already passed half a year.
Zhu Youde definitely had his own purpose when he turned it out this time.
"I believe everyone should be aware of the previous water transport case. When I dug up this case later, I found that there seemed to be something fishy in it."
After saying these words, some ministers in the court began to lose their composure. After all, this matter was also supervised by them.
"Your Majesty, could it be that you have listened to some slander?"
"The criminal in this matter has now been brought to justice." The Minister of Punishment immediately stood up.
After all, he had sponsored this matter before. If something went wrong, the first responsibility would definitely be on him.
In this case, he could only explain.
"It's not your turn to speak yet... Come on, bring Zheng Ling'er in." Zhu Youde yelled, and soon Zheng Ling'er was surrounded by the guards.
"Caomin Zheng Ling'er has met, Your Majesty."
When she first went to court, Zheng Ling'er's body was shaking a little.
Of course, this is not because of fear.
On the contrary, after meeting Zhu Youde, I felt a little more at ease.
The Zhu Youde at this time was completely different from the bookish and gentle-looking Zhu Youde before.
He possesses an imperial aura that no one else has.
"This is the daughter of Zheng Zhongxia. Whether Zheng Zhongxia has committed a crime or not is not your decision." Zhu Youde looked at the Minister of Punishment coldly and said.
After hearing these words, the Minister of Punishment also trembled and quickly bowed down.
After all, he actually has no way to interfere with how this matter will be handled in the end.
We can only see who Zhu Youde chooses.
But judging from Zhu Youde's current attitude, he definitely wants to rectify the Minister of Punishment.
At this time, many Zhang Party officials turned their attention to Zhang Fuan.
After all, in the absence of Zhang Yuanhai, Zhang Fuan has a certain say.
Zhang Fu'an lowered his head, apparently not wanting to support the Minister of Punishment.
And the Minister of Punishment also knew what Zhang Fu'an meant, and couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.
"Zheng Ling'er, tell me everything you know." Zhu Youde looked at Zheng Ling'er and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zheng Ling'er's voice was slightly trembling.
"Before, my father actually secretly entrusted someone else to hand over a letter to me. His letter said that this matter was definitely not done by him.
"And in that letter, it was also said that the Ministry of Punishment at that time tortured him severely. Even so, he didn't say anything, and he was even beaten to death in the end."
When she said this, Zheng Ling'er actually burst into tears.
Thinking of the state his father was in before his death, he felt like his heart was twisting in a knife.
As a daughter, it actually takes a lot of courage for her to say these words.
