Chapter 697 Crying in the palace and scolding the driver
Xia Xun's ship went all the way south, transferred to a river boat from the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then went up the river until it got off the ship at Yanziji and arrived outside Nanjing.
Along the way, Siqi had a great time. The sky was high and the sea was vast. That kind of scenery could not be seen inland. If Xia Xun and Zi Qi had not been concerned about the pending matters of the White Lotus Sect, they would have slowed down their journey and called
My daughter had a great time.
The boat docked at Yanziji, got on the gangplank, and got off the boat. Chen Ying, who was waiting on the shore, immediately led a few people to greet her.
Ji Gang had the Eight King Kongs under his command, Liu Yujue had the Hengha Generals under his command, and Chen Ying also trained several capable assistants. There were three people in total, known as the Three Heroes of Ducha. These three people were ranked according to their reputations, namely Xiao Zujie, Yu Shiji, and
One person is accompanying Chen Ying at the moment, his name is Yin Zhongyue.
Xiao Zujie had been killed by Ji Gang's men, and Yu Shiji followed Xia Xun for a walk. As luck would have it, due to his contribution to disaster relief, he was promoted to the imperial envoy of Qiandu, standing side by side with Huang Zhen. Yin Zhongyue was still an ordinary envoy, but
He is Chen Ying's right-hand man and a very important figure in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Xia Xun returned to Beijing all the way. Along the way, there were inspection offices of the River Department inspecting passing ships. For an official like him to return to Beijing, if someone wanted to investigate, he would inform the water and land passes in advance, and someone would naturally send back the news. However, Xia Xun did not
Unexpectedly, someone was actually paying attention to his whereabouts. When he got off the boat and looked up, he saw Chen Yingpi greeting him with a smile. Xia Xun couldn't help but be startled.
"My lord..."
Chen Ying bowed her hands to Xia Xun, with an intriguing smile on her face.
"Night owls come into the house and come for anything!"
As soon as he saw Chen Ying, Xia Xun was slightly startled, knowing that Ji Gang was still launching an attack.
"Master Chen!"
Xia Xun also cupped his hands and asked with a smile: "Why is the Lord of the Ministry here? Are you going to visit the capital?"
Chen Ying did not detect panic or fear in Xia Xun's expression, so she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, so she smiled and said: "The Duke has misunderstood. Chen Ying is here specifically to greet you, the Duke."
"oh?"
Xia Xun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I don't dare to take that seriously. The Lord of the Ministry has many things to do every day, and even with his busy schedule, he can still come to greet me. How can Yang be able to take this responsibility?"
Yin Zhongyue stepped out from the side and shouted: "Yang Xu! Stop pretending, your case has been released!"
Xia Xun frowned, looking displeased. He glanced at Yin Zhongyue with disgust and asked, "Who is this?"
Chen Ying quickly scolded: "Zhong Yue, stand down! Don't be rude to Duke Fu!"
After drinking Yin Zhongyue away, Chen Ying raised her hand to Xia Xun again: "Master Guo, someone has reported that you have some relationship with the White Lotus Sect. You see..., there is nothing you can do, it is the responsibility of the lower official.
, The emperor has already issued an oral order, and the lower official must handle it seriously, right? Now I would like to ask the Duke of the country to come with the lower official for a visit!"
When Xia Xun heard this, he was shocked and angry and said: "What? Is this happening? How unreasonable! Who is this? How dare you slander me and frame me! I want to see the emperor, I want to complain to the emperor face to face!"
Chen Ying smiled and said: "Hahaha, Mr. Guo, do you think there is any other yamen besides Jin Yiwei that specializes in major rebellion cases?"
Xia Xun became even angrier when he heard this, and said viciously: "Ji Gang? Okay! Okay! Ji Gang actually got it on me!"
Chen Ying smiled even more happily: "Oh, even the lower officials don't believe such nonsense, but what they say is solid, and there are witnesses and oral confessions. The matter involves the country and the national law. Even the emperor cannot follow it.
It’s private. But the emperor actually didn’t believe it. He specially summoned his subordinates and asked me to investigate the case carefully and restore your innocence. However, before the matter is investigated, I will still have to wrong you.
Come on, you can't go home now, you have to go with me!"
Xia Xun said with a mixture of sadness and anger: "Okay! I'll go with you! I will never do anything wrong in my life, and I won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night! I won't leave until this matter is found out, even if you let me go!"
Yin Zhongyue jumped out and said: "Bold Yang Xu, although your title is high, you are now a suspect. Why are you not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night? We are enforcing the law for the country and solving cases for the country. Who do you think is the ghost?"
Xia Xun stared at him for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped him in the face. Seeing Xia Xun glare, Yin Zhongyue was careful, but when he saw Xia Xun reaching out, he couldn't avoid it. The palm was extremely fast, and under his feet
Just as he had the intention to move, that slap hit his face.
With a big slap in the face, all the gold bars flying in front of Yin Zhongyue's eyes were gold bars. When he came to his senses, he found that he was lying on the beach, half of his face was numb, and he had no consciousness at all. Xia Xun
He lifted up his black satin and white official boots and kicked him one by one: "You bastard! You dare to ride on my head and shit on me before I fall!"
Yin Zhongyue received a slap in the face first, and then several kicks. He was a little dazed and could not react for a moment. Chen Ying saw Xia Xun's extremely angry look from the side and felt very happy. She quickly stepped forward to persuade him: "My lord, please calm down.
Lord, please calm down, please use your strength and don’t get along with him!"
Xia Xun stopped angrily, spat hard on Yin Zhongyue again, and cursed angrily: "If a tiger doesn't respond to a cat, you think I'm critically ill!"
Chen Ying laughed so hard that she almost couldn't see her eyes. She took the opportunity to joke: "The adults don't care about the faults of the villains. Lord, please don't be angry. I see you are so angry that you can't even talk..."
"Ouch, look at my mouth, it's so mouth-watering, isn't it?"
Chen Ying lightly slapped herself in the mouth and said with a smile: "Since the Duke is willing to cooperate with the official's investigation and prove his innocence, then... just go with the official!"
"Wait a minute, I'll tell my wife first so that my family won't worry about you!"
Xia Xun put down his rolled-up sleeves bitterly, turned around and walked towards the boat. Zi Qi was holding his daughter at the bow of the boat and watching.
"Dad, is that man a bad guy?"
Siqi blinked her big eyes and watched her father punch and kick her. When he came up, she couldn't wait to ask.
Xia Xun forced a smile and said: "Well, he is a big bad guy, so daddy teaches him a lesson!"
In front of his relatives, with his back to Chen Ying and his men under the boat, Xia Xun no longer had to hide his expression. He looked at Ziqi deeply and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen! This
I can't lose this contest, and I can't lose it. You can go home and wait with peace of mind, I will be back!"
Peng Ziqi resisted the tears and said: "Mr. Sir, act according to the situation. If something goes wrong, be sure to protect yourself. If you have any good intentions, I...I will not have the shame to see my wife and several sisters again. When the time comes,
, I can only follow my husband and repay him with death!"
Siqi was still young and didn't understand the meaning of her parents' exchanges. However, she could vaguely sense that something was not good when she heard her parents were dying. She immediately became obedient, hugged her mother's neck, and watched eagerly.
I looked after my parents and didn't dare to say any more words.
Xia Xun smiled slightly and said softly to her: "There are so many strong winds and waves, how could something happen? Don't worry, don't think too much, go home first!"
After saying that, he leaned over and kissed little Siqi on the cheek, looked at his wife deeply, turned around, and strode down the boat!

The news that Duke Fu had just returned to Beijing and was taken away by the Metropolitan Procuratorate immediately spread in Beijing. Something happened to such a heavyweight boss, which immediately caused an uproar in Beijing.
The lower class people talked more about it after dinner, and many of them were pessimistic. They didn't know how many officials would be implicated in the case of Fu Guogong, and another bloody storm would be caused in Jinling City.
Most of the people in the court don't believe it at all. Who do you think is the White Lotus Sect? He is a prince, a highly respected minister, and extremely honorable. Why does he want to get involved in the White Lotus Sect? Does he still want to become an immortal?
Can you become a Buddha?
What they paid attention to was the power struggle behind the scenes. The low-level officials didn't know what was going on. They didn't know that this was a complaint from the Jin Yiwei, so they took it for granted that the second prince's faction had launched a counterattack. This was the biggest factor in completely overthrowing Prince Gong's rise to power.
Hero.
Senior officials who knew the details thought more. Some thought it was because the prince faction began to fight for power and engage in cruel struggles internally after their success. Some thought even more profoundly, thinking that it was the power of the auxiliary government and too much prestige.
, has aroused the emperor's fear, this is to kill the cunning rabbit and cook the running dog.
In short, various factions have made speculations and inquired about the details, and no one dares to take it lightly.
Once such a big thing as Gein is confirmed, who knows whether it will involve him?
Ming'er entered the palace.
She gave birth in more than a month. Ming'er struggled to enter the palace with a big belly. She sat down in Kunning Palace and burst into tears and curses.
She started talking about the several times Xia Xun saved the lives of Emperor Yongle's family and enumerated all the contributions he had made for Emperor Yongle. She burst into tears when she talked about it. Empress Xu couldn't stand it anymore and immediately called people to the Jinshen Palace.
Invited Zhu Di back.
Ming'er is Zhu Di's sister-in-law, and they were very familiar with each other when he was not the emperor. She can talk and laugh with ease in front of the extremely powerful Emperor Hongwu, even if she is afraid of Emperor Yongle, her full of grievances will naturally come back to her.
I have to tell Zhu Di again.
Zhu Di swallowed his anger and explained: "Miaojin, I actually don't believe this. Why did Yang Xu join the White Lotus Sect? Even if the Peng family is really the White Lotus Sect, they must have kept him in the dark..."
Ming'er said with tears in her eyes: "How could my husband-in-law be a White Lotus sect? How could the Peng family be a White Lotus sect? My husband-in-law was on a business trip in Shandong. He first eradicated the leader of the White Lotus sect, Niu Buye, in Jinan Prefecture, and then destroyed his incense hall.
, and later killed the leader of the Shaanxi Bailian Church in Qingzhou Prefecture, and the imperial court imprisoned Wang Jingangnu...
At that time, he was not the son-in-law of the Peng family! He had killed so many people from the White Lotus Sect, and the White Lotus Sect had a sworn hatred for him. Would the White Lotus Sect still marry their biological daughter to him? At that time, he
What kind of great person is he? Even if the White Lotus Sect wants to bribe him, there is no need to bribe him. If such a traitor is greedy, your Majesty, you should take it seriously!"
Zhu Di smiled bitterly and said: "Miaojin, this is a national matter. Whether I believe it or not, that is my business. Things that should be investigated must be in accordance with the law..."
p: As soon as it was said that Zhu Di asked people to investigate Yang Xu, some people immediately became aggrieved. What do you want Zhu Di to do? Tell him to tell Jin Yiwei, I believe Yang Xu, and kill the witnesses you obtained from the investigation.
Well, investigate others and fire them all. It must be a false accusation, so there is no need to investigate! Or call Yang Xu over and ask him directly: "Are you unjust?" and then repeat the order above?
Is this possible? Is this Zhu Di who is kind and righteous, or is he a kind and righteous idiot? Zhu Di didn't jump up and immediately order the killing, right? Just because the protagonist is the protagonist, he can't even investigate? Please these friends, please add a little more
Just have some mental endurance, there won't be any ups and downs, and if you enjoy it all the way to the end, you won't have much to remember after watching it!
