Zhu Houcong, led by Yang Shen, also took a look at the place where the prisoners were held. To be honest, the treatment was very good. There was no so-called mess in the cell. The overall appearance was clean and refreshing, and it didn't even look like a prison cell.
The eight-person room has bunk beds and is a bit crowded, but there are beds, so overall it's pretty good.
"Because a group of prisoners were sent in the past two days, it seemed a bit crowded here. It's usually fine. Because of the drug testing, I always choose healthy prisoners and use certain methods to achieve certain symptoms to test drugs.
of."
In order to do this, Yang Shen took great pains. Fortunately, Jin Yiwei had more corresponding talents, otherwise he would be busy to death just going out to find people.
"It's really not easy for you. If I have any good things, I will definitely think of you." He patted Yang Shen on the shoulder. It's not easy. It's really not easy. To be able to achieve this level, this underground testing ground is not only
It costs money, and people in the capital are very discerning, so they have to prevent exposure, which is very troublesome.
It is not easy to reach this level of cultivation in half a year. As for the treatment of prisoners, Zhu Houcong didn't care, as he was not short of such a small amount of money.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please save me, I am innocent, I am innocent." The two were chatting when they suddenly heard shouts from ahead.
"Oh? Do you know me?" Zhu Houcong paused slightly and came to the cell.
Hearing that His Majesty was coming, the whole cell began to explode with people shouting about injustice.
"Shut up, you say."
"I see you, Your Majesty." The man hurriedly knelt down and sat at home while the pot came from the sky. He was caught here for some reason. The old man said that he was going to test the medicine. If he failed, he might die or something.
He was already in despair, but he didn't expect to see His Majesty, so he naturally wanted to seize this only chance of survival.
"Get up, tell me why you came in?" Zhu Houcong was very patient. Basically, ninety-nine percent of those who came here deserved to die. Zhu Houcong didn't believe the remaining one percent.
Will be met by myself.
Yang Shen was also silent beside him. He had said that he had nothing to hide from His Majesty, so there was no need to hide anything. He had a clear conscience.
"The guilty minister, Wang Qing, was originally a small official in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. He was celebrating the New Year at home. Unexpectedly, he was caught by the Jin Yiwei and came here. It was Yang Shen who wanted to avenge a private vendetta. Why should I be arrested if I didn't commit any crime?
I, Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me."
The man named Wang Qing cried so much that he burst into tears. From his point of view, it was indeed quite unfair. He was sitting at home, and the pot came from the sky. He was arrested without knowing anything. His property was confiscated, his wife and children were exiled.
, who did he offend?
Zhu Houcong had a rough idea. He glanced at Yang Shen next to him and said softly: "You didn't tell them the reason?"
"Your Majesty, we were in such a hurry. Eunuch Gu and the others sent them here all at once after arresting them. I was also caught off guard. There were so many people all of a sudden, and I had no time to prepare."
Yang Shen said that he didn't know anything, and it was none of my business. Whether it was interrogating or arresting people, it was not my responsibility. I just arrested people here, and it was not easy for us.
Wang Qing's heart skipped a beat. The officials and the Dongchang teamed up to seize people. This was not a small matter, but he was unwilling to do so. He didn't know what crime he had committed or who he had offended. After all, the people from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division were...
He is a professional who takes the blame, God knows which one, and he seems to have seen many of his colleagues.
Zhu Houcong looked helplessly at Yang Shen, who was pretending to be innocent. Come on, he didn't believe that Gu Dayong would not tell him the reason when he arrested people. This guy, it was him. If it had been anyone else, he would have turned against him a long time ago.
What does this have to do with me?
Zhu Houcong did not say anything to him, but turned to look at Wang Qing, and said softly: "First of all, I want to tell you that the one who arrested you was the hands of the official subordinate Piwen Dongchang. My order, and Yang Shen
It doesn’t matter.”
When Wang Qing heard that there was something going on with His Majesty here, he was immediately heartbroken, but he still had to struggle one last time, and said in a hoarse voice: "I dare to ask Your Majesty, what crime did the guilty minister commit? If the guilty minister is allowed to die, he must die clearly.
"
Zhu Houcong didn't care. No matter what, buying and selling women was a capital crime in Zhu Houcong's place. It was abominable to do it directly, but the sales channels in the middle and the protective umbrellas above were even more abominable. This matter turned out to be related to Mao Ji, but Zhu Houcong was just
Let Yan Song hammer it out. He doesn't want to destroy the stable situation because of this.
It can be seen that there are really not many clean civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, and Zhu Houconn doesn't care. It's not like he doesn't know the industry chain. As long as he is not offended, it doesn't matter. He doesn't care about Yan Song's Kaichun Tower, as long as everything is within a certain limit.
From now on, if we really establish rules, if anyone dares to break them, don't blame him.
"It's a crime. What's your relationship with Chunxianglou?"
Wang Qing couldn't hide the bitterness in his heart, but he didn't expect it was because of this incident.
"You are calling for injustice here. Have you ever thought about the situation of those girls who were abducted and trapped in Chunlou? Do you know how many children have fallen into the clutches of you because of your connivance or even assistance?"
Chunxiang House is a relatively specialized brothel. It is different from Yang Shen's Tianxiang House. Yang Shen mainly buys some from outside to serve as the top brand in the building, but Chunxiang House is indeed the opposite.
Some boys and girls are sent to special places to be cultivated and then sold, whether it is a brothel or various dignitaries with unique interests, as long as they make money.
So this is only from the capital, and relevant personnel from Chunxiang Tower from various places will be sent over later. There may be many fish that have slipped through the net, but there will definitely be no shortage of small fish and shrimps.
"But, but the guilty minister can't control it. There are big people covering him, and the guilty minister is also powerless." Wang Qing was a little desperate, but still wanted to seize the last glimmer of life. He admitted the crime, but he didn't want to die.
.
"I just want to ask you one thing, have you taken any money from this industrial chain?" Zhu Houcong didn't talk nonsense to him. If you say it's irrelevant, it's irrelevant. Why do they give you money? They have a lot of money, right?
Wang Qing was speechless. He took it. Although he didn't get much as a small official, he took it and spent it with peace of mind.
A sneer appeared on Zhu Houcong's face, "right, you took the money, there are some things you can't control, but you can't be complicit, and not only did you take the money, you also provided them with shelter, and you often patronized their business, right?"
Zhu Houcong's words were very firm. It would be good for him to engage in criminal investigation. As long as he is willing, there will be no secrets in his eyes. In ancient times, people ruled more. As long as the criminals in front of him are hidden, there is no way to hide them.
.
"The sinner has nothing to say. It's just that in this officialdom, Wei Chen can't help himself in many situations. If everyone goes and I don't go, Wei Chen will be squeezed out by everyone. Wei Chen also wants to be a good official, but in reality
It’s not allowed.”
Now that things have happened, Wang Qing has nothing to say. He can only blame himself for bringing the blame. But he still wants to accuse the officialdom. He also wants to clean up himself, but in reality it is not that easy.
"Oh? It's interesting. Maybe you really wanted to be a good person at first, but slowly, you were dyed by this big dye vat and began to enjoy it with peace of mind, right? So, don't say that reality doesn't allow it, you can only
It’s your fault that you didn’t stick to your bottom line, is your guilt just taking care of other people’s business?”
Zhu Houcong shook his head. This was the kind of person who was bad, but not bad enough. Sometimes he would be condemned by his conscience. Gradually, he would lose his conscience.
"Okay, this is the situation. Everyone came in under this situation. Of course, there are many of you who have been wronged. It doesn't matter. You can appeal. Someone here will tell you the process."
Later, Yang Shen accompanied Zhu Houcong to visit the place, and there were also people who were testing the medicine. Someone was assigned to record their changes. It can be said that these tasks are becoming more and more detailed and standardized.
But what restricts the development of industry now is manpower. All these things rely on people, so it is difficult to do it. In fact, if we vigorously develop industry, there may not be much effect in thirty or fifty years. Zhu Houcong can't wait any longer, so he will rely on pure
It can be made by hand, but if it is purely handmade, it also needs to be standardized, and the error cannot be too large.
Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if the manufactured gun and bullets do not match each other. Zhu Houcong emphasized these things to Yang Shen from the beginning. You can go slower, but you must follow the process. Master the process first, and then slowly improve it.
Since Zhu Houcong no longer took care of it and left it to Yang Shen, we must believe that he can handle these things well. Sometimes some of the words he said are redundant. Yang Shen can do well without him.
"What does Your Majesty want to do?" Yang Shen asked softly.
"You can come as you please. The person I ordered to arrest is afraid of causing trouble?" This guy knew that he had no other ideas, so he still wanted to do something extra.
"That's what Wei Chen asked. What if His Majesty has other ideas?" Yang Shen laughed.
"Tch, if you still want to tease me, just do whatever you have to do. Get things out as soon as possible, and then expand production. I have a plan and need a lot of penicillin. You work hard and get it out quickly." If you don't work hard,
How can I deceive people?
If the atonement silver in Henan last time was a robbery, then it is now a fraud. Only a small amount of money can be stolen in a robbery. Fraud is the king, and making people willingly hand the money into your pocket is the best solution.
.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I promise to complete the task within three days. If I can't complete it, you will remove me from my post." Yang Shen couldn't help but make a joke.
"Come on, let's fire you? It's enough to deduct your salary. If you don't fulfill your promise of three days, I will deduct your salary for three years to make you arrogant." Zhu Houcong played a different role and went against the grain, asking you to seek death.
This is called working for free.
Yang Shen shook his head helplessly. Your Majesty is really serious. As for that, you really won’t suffer any loss at all.
After the visit, the two of them went back. After all, they couldn't disappear for too long. There were still people outside.
In the evening, Zhu Houcong took the little girl to visit the residences of officials at all levels and their families. In the next few days, he took her to places where the poor gathered. The little girl became more and more silent as she watched.
A week later, Zhu Houcong said goodbye to the little girl. The weather had not been very good these days, and the two of them did not get on the hot air balloon in the end.
Zhu Houcong was sitting by the bed. It started to snow again outside. He didn't know if there would be any accidents when he went out this time. According to his simple knowledge of astrology, there should be no problem. However, he would inevitably be a little worried.
"Master, if you want to go, go and see Miss Qingxue off. Miss Qingxue is also waiting for you." Huang Jin saw that Zhu Houcong was in a daze and couldn't help but say a few more words.
But he really didn't understand, why did the master let Miss Qingxue out of the palace when he clearly cared about her so much? This is really incomprehensible, very incomprehensible, and I can't figure it out even if I think about it.
"Huang Jin, sooner or later you will be killed by your bad mouth." Zhu Houcong was a little helpless. Can't you be like your godfather? At least be quiet and don't see me bothering you.
Lu Fang sighed helplessly on the side. He understood His Majesty's thoughts. His Majesty hoped that Miss Qingxue would have a better future and better development. Maybe these six months of getting along with him made His Majesty understand that the palace would only restrain Miss Qingxue.
Develop it.
"Okay, Huang Jin, let's go out." Maybe His Majesty still wants to go out, but with the two of them here, His Majesty can't make a decision, and Huang Jin, a big talker, doesn't know it yet.
"But Master..."
"Master, this slave is not well-disciplined. Wait for me to go down and educate him." Lu Fang directly dragged this unfortunate child away. This guy was simply short-sighted and didn't see that His Majesty was upset.
Zhu Houcong sighed. Yes, Lu Fang guessed it right. He was still a little reluctant to let go. He finally had someone to talk to, and now he had to send her away. How could he let her go? How could he let her go?
"Miss Qingxue, it's time to leave. It's getting late. If you don't start now, you won't be able to leave today." A guard reminded softly.
"Oh, let's go then." Bai Qingxue looked at the palace behind her for the last time, but he did not come after all.
The guards received the order and quickly drove the carriage. They had to rush to the next station before dark. It was very dangerous to spend the night in the wild.
In the midst of the heavy snow in the sky, they didn't know that there was a pair of eyes watching them. Yes, it was Zhu Houcong, but he did not come out after all. He stepped lightly in the palace, stepping on the falling snowflakes and went up.
, standing between heaven and earth, looking at the little carriage, this can be regarded as the final farewell, he has his mission, and she also has her own future.
It wasn't until the carriage was no longer visible that Zhu Houcong followed the snowflakes falling, and a lot of snowflakes fell on his body.
"Hey, Master, why are you here? You have to wear so little to avoid freezing." Huang Jin quickly took off his clothes and wanted to put them on His Majesty.
Zhu Houcong waved his hand. It was always sad to say goodbye. He was the only one in the palace again.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yang Ge wants to see you."
"Haha, you are really not idle at all, Xuan." Zhu Houcong waved his sleeves and turned around to go back to his room. Yang Tinghe came here several times in the past few days, but he was busy saying goodbye, so he ignored him. No need.
Now that I know what it is, it’s really a piece of candy.
"Your Majesty, Yang Tinghe, goes to see you."
"Get up, Huang Jin, give him a heater. It's not very warm here, so don't let Mr. Yang Ge freeze." Zhu Houcong waved his hand, Yang Tinghe's gray hair was covered with snowflakes, and this guy didn't even think about it.
It's easy, you're still running around at such an old age.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Tinghe was not pretentious. He came here so many times mainly because he wanted to know why. Anyway, he was not involved in this matter, and no one of his own was involved. It's just that His Majesty's actions are very dangerous and make people a little confused.
disturbed.
"Tell me, why did you come to me?" Zhu Houcong asked knowingly. This old guy probably only has that kind of thing. The key is just to ask your son directly. Why did you come to me?
"Then I don't want to give in. Eunuch Gu arrested a large number of people many days ago without any warning. I want to know the reason for this?" He was sleeping soundly that day when someone woke him up.
To be honest, he didn't believe it when he heard the news for the first time. It was completely unnecessary. He and His Majesty had agreed a few days ago to live in peaceful coexistence. Why did it suddenly cause such a big disturbance?
Gu Dayong was directly ordered by His Majesty. It is impossible to say that it was not authorized by His Majesty. I heard that Qi Jingtong's army was on the move, and those people were unable to escape.
"Oh? Are you questioning me?" Zhu Houcong raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Yang Tinghe looked startled, it felt so familiar.
"I don't dare. It's just that as the chief minister of the cabinet, Wei Chen must at least know what they have done, otherwise it will be difficult for the people below to explain." Yang Tinghe's subtext was already obvious. This is what they meant.
It doesn't matter, I just asked for a reason, and if you gave me an excuse, I would immediately beat him up.
His son was having a good time with His Majesty, and he didn't want to fall out with His Majesty. Whoever caused trouble was a fool, so he just asked for a reason, and His Majesty only needed to give him a clear excuse.
"Do I need to explain to you? Yang Tinghe, am I too kind to you?" Zhu Houcong was worried about this. This old guy came to make trouble again. Didn't this just hit the point of a gun?
"This..." Yang Tinghe didn't expect His Majesty to say this. At least you can give me an excuse. What should I say?
"Everyone is at your son's place. If you want someone, go find him. Lu Fang, see the guests off. I won't let Mr. Yang Ge eat today." Zhu Houcong waved his hand and closed his eyes to rest.
Yang Tinghe blinked and looked at Lu Fang with some confusion. His Majesty's temper is a bit grumpy today.
"Mr. Yang Ge, please come with me. Let the Za family discuss this matter with you in detail." Lu Fang knew that His Majesty was upset at this time. His Majesty could give up his job, but he couldn't. After arresting so many people, he had to give an explanation.
Well, it has been delayed for so many days.
Yang Tinghe nodded slightly. His Majesty's state today is indeed a bit abnormal. How should I put it? It's a bit like the arrogance when I first met your Majesty. Because your Majesty has been much more restrained after the Henan incident, so who else is going to be unlucky?
