Ma Xiaoquan knew something about what the store owner said, but because the matter was left to Tian Ergeng to take charge of, he didn't ask much about it.｀乐｀文Novel
I originally thought it was a small matter that should have been resolved early, but now it sounds like it will never end.
"Hmm~" Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin and hummed softly. Thinking carefully about the emperor's physical condition since that time he fell into the water, he found that it was indeed not as good as before.
The emperor is still very young. Logically speaking, staying up late playing with women and drinking a few drinks will not cause anger as long as you don't overdo it too often. But after falling into the water, the emperor often suffered from diarrhea and dizziness.
"Then where has this matter been investigated?" Ma Xiaoquan asked.
"It's about this, hehe..." The store owner suddenly stopped talking. His intention was very obvious, that is, he wanted Ma Xiaoquan to share some information, and they would make an exchange.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said understandingly: "You are a bit interesting, okay, then I will tell you about my experience in the capital."
As the deacon of Jinyiwei, Ma Xiaoquan knows a lot more inside information than others. Whether it is what happened in the past or what is happening now, as long as Jinyiwei participates in the investigation, Ma Xiaoquan can get first-hand information on most of the information.
Of course, since there was so much information, Ma Xiaoquan picked out the ones that interested him.
Looking at the shop owner sitting in front of him, Ma Xiaoquan knew that if he wanted to get what he wanted from him, he would have to spend a little money.
"Well, there is such a thing. I also heard it from a Jin Yiwei... Oh, by the way, do you know about Jin Yiwei?"
The shop owner nodded: "Of course I know. It's all-pervasive. Who wouldn't be afraid when walking on the street? Anyone caught in Jinyiwei's prison has never been seen out."
"Haha..." Ma Xiaoquan nodded, agreeing with what the store owner said, and then told the store owner something he thought of.
In order to show his hearsay, Ma Xiaoquan deliberately told the story in an exaggerated and weird way. The store owner didn't mind. As long as it was intelligence information that he thought was important, it didn't matter if it was exaggerated, as long as it could be sold and exchanged.
is the key.
The time of burning incense passed quickly. Ma Xiaoquan’s talk was very interesting and lively, and the shop owner listened very seriously. However, when there was still a third of the talk, Ma Xiaoquan stopped, nodded to the shop owner, and signaled you
First tell me the second half of the story of the emperor falling into the water, otherwise I won't tell you.
The exchange of information has reached this point, and the shop owner no longer hides it. Anyway, he has sold the news to several people before, so it doesn't hurt to tell this person (Ma Xiaoquan) first now.
Already.
"After the Emperor fell into the water, it was mysterious. I heard that the two young eunuchs who fell into the water at the same time as the Emperor drowned. When the Emperor came up, he also vomited a basin of muddy water. If not for Empress Zhang's careful care, the Emperor would probably have died.
....."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, understanding what the store owner meant, and motioned for him to continue.
The shop owner hummed and said: "But let Jin Yiwei investigate this matter. How do you want to investigate? Let me tell you, investigate those two eunuchs? They have already fallen into the water and died. If we investigate the others, there is no evidence, so
Yeah, after all this investigation, we pointed the finger at the Ministry of Works. Why? The boats parked in Xiyuan Lake are all the responsibility of the Ministry of Works..."
"Ministry of Industry..." Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He wasn't familiar with the Ministry of Industry, mainly because he didn't interact with him very much. However, having been a Jin Yiwei for a long time, Ma Xiaoquan quickly thought of someone.
Xin Wang, Zhu Youjian.
"Then did Jin Yiwei find out anything about this matter?"
"Definitely not, but if not, it's hard to do business. What should I do? Arrest people. As long as the Ministry of Industry was responsible for the ship manufacturing in Xiyuan Lake, they will be arrested and interrogated first. Regardless of whether they are there or not, anyway, then
If you go to jail, you will..."
Ma Xiaoquan patted his head and said deliberately: "Let me just say, when I went out to walk the birds, I watched the officials of Jinyiwei searching everywhere. My house was searched several times at that time. Hey, Jinyiwei's
I really can’t afford to offend people. If something almost goes wrong, I’ll record it in their impermanence book..."
"Yes, yes~~" the shop owner nodded, "But until now, we haven't found out the reason..."
Ma Xiaoquan hummed and thought to himself that this matter should be over at this point. If he couldn't find out the reason, it would be pointless to investigate further.
"But it seems that Jin Yiwei never wants to finish investigating this matter..." the store owner suddenly said.
"Huh? Why don't you think about it anymore? If someone has arrested you, what else do you want to do?"
The shop owner suddenly raised his eyebrows and said: "I had the guts to think about this matter later. I saw that the guest officer is a sensible person, so I just said it. Anyway, I am a person who makes news like this. I will die one day."
Qiaoqiao, so I’m not afraid anymore, I’ll just tell you.”
"Well, tell me~"
The shop owner said: "You are from the capital city, but you may not know that the Ministry of Industry is actually related to a certain person."
Ma Xiaoquan's heart trembled, and he thought of a person quickly in his mind, but he deliberately pretended to be stupid and said: "A person? Isn't that Wei Zhongxian? He is 9900 years old now. Isn't the entire court controlled by him?
?”
"Eh? That's not necessarily true. That's because he has great power. Everyone is trying to please him and want to get an official position, but he is a eunuch after all. Is it possible that a eunuch still wants to be the emperor?"
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned and said deliberately: "Oh, what you said is so rebellious, haha, but what you said is really tight."
The shop owner said humbly: "What can't you say? Anyway, I have already put my life and death aside... Then do you think it is more disgusting for a eunuch to want to be an emperor than for a woman to be an emperor?"
"Uh~~" Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head, "It's not so disgusting for a woman to be an emperor, right? Don't you think Wu Zetian did a pretty good job?"
"Wu Zetian? That's too long. Don't talk about her... Anyway, don't even think about the eunuch becoming emperor..."
Ma Xiaoquan scratched his head: "Then who are you talking about?"
The shop owner lowered his voice and said: "A person, the younger brother of the current emperor, King Xin - Zhu Youjian."
Ma Xiaoquan took a deep breath and thought that the store owner was really well-informed. The person he mentioned was the same as the person he just thought of.
"You're talking nonsense... Then King Xin rarely shows up in public, and the neighbors have never heard about King Xin. What they hear most is that King Xin plays all day long..."
The shop owner rolled his eyes at Ma Xiaoquan and said contemptuously: "Thankfully you are still living in the capital. King Xin did this just to deceive others. Do you think that once the emperor ascended the throne, he would not be allowed to go to other places to become a vassal?"
Where is the king? Because the emperor is afraid, afraid that he will believe in the king and become the second Zhu Di."
Ma Xiaoquan secretly laughed in his heart. Comparing Zhu Youjian's ability with Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, would be too flattering. Although he is not bad, in terms of personal ability, he is still far behind Zhu Di. Besides, Zhu Di
The coup was only possible because he had a group of people around him who made suggestions. As for Zhu Youjian, the people around him who made suggestions and suggestions were all useless.
"Oh, that's it, that's it..." Ma Xiaoquan pretended to understand and nodded heavily.
When the shop owner saw Ma Xiaoquan's move, he raised his eyebrows proudly and said, "Let me tell you, you people in the capital may not all know things, you just know how to play all day long..."
"That's that, hey~~" Ma Xiaoquan nodded humbly.
The store owner was quite satisfied with Ma Xiaoquan's attitude. He continued: "It's true that Wei Zhongxian controls the Ministry of Industry as you said before, but he controls the general direction of the people. As for the details, he can't control it, and it's beyond his reach...
...So...I guess King Xin bribed an official from the Ministry of Industry and tampered with the ship..."
The shop owner's idea was quite bold, but to Ma Xiaoquan's ears, it seemed reasonable.
At that time, after the incident of the emperor falling into the water, something happened to someone from the Ministry of Industry. Ma Xiaoquan also heard that Tian Ergeng had arrested a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry and put them in prison and tortured them for interrogation. However, he later heard that he did not ask any questions.
What happened?
"You are really good at making things up..." Ma Xiaoquan curled his lips and waved his hand, "Let's not talk about whether this matter has anything to do with King Xin. No matter which aspect you look at it, it doesn't make sense. Think about it, the emperor went there at that time
The reason for playing in Xiyuan was because of Wei Zhongxian's instigation. This matter must be boiled down to the final analysis. Do you think Wei Zhongxian is the most suspicious?"
"Huh, even if it is, then who dares to blame Wei Zhongxian? Besides, Wei Zhongxian was not given by the emperor for all this. You said that he would only harm the emperor unless he was mentally ill, so... right
The one that the Emperor covets, and from the current point of view, is also the most suitable candidate, none other than King Xin Zhu Youjian."
Ma Xiaoquan didn't dare to nod in praise, otherwise he really wanted to give the shop owner a thumbs up and a thumbs up.
He could only say oh and treat this matter as a legend, with a look of confusion on his face.
Seeing Ma Xiaoquan's confused look, the shop owner smiled and said, "Okay, I've finished talking about this, it's your turn~"
Ma Xiaoquan oohed and ahhed three times and told the shop owner what he had not finished talking about before.
...
Late at night, Ma Xiaoquan was resting in Minyi's guest room. Lying on the bed, he couldn't fall asleep.
King Xin indeed has the ambition to become the most powerful person in the Nine-Five-Year Plan, but he has always been cautious and cautious and never exposed himself. How could a shop owner guess this?
