Chapter 552 [Before the shame, prefetch the southeast] ten
Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Zhizhen left, Kong Wu came to the palace. Seeing Kong Wu's serious expression, Mu Linfeng knew that he had to investigate the matter and immediately went into the study with Kong Wu.
Sure enough, as Mu Linfeng expected, Kong Wu told Mu Linfeng that the last time Zhu Cihong raped and killed the palace maid, the investigation was very clear. The palace maid was named Xiaocui. She did not enter the palace after Zhu Cihong ascended the throne. She was only sixteen or seventeen.
Years old, quite handsome, she was specially placed next to Zhu Cixiang, who was specially responsible for serving Zhu Cixiang when he went to bed. On the day of the incident, Zhu Cixiang was scolded by the princess Zhu Yuyao for some things. Zhu Cixiang was in a bad mood, and lost his temper in the power supply.
Had a little drink.
At this time, it was Xiaocui who was serving Zhu Cixiang. She took advantage of Zhu Cixiang's drunkenness and helped Zhu Cixiang to go to bed. When Zhu Cixiong woke up in the middle of the night, he found Xiaocui also lying on his bed, naked.
Zhu Cixiang thought it was because he had sex after drinking last night. He seemed to think that was the end of it anyway, and seeing Xiao Cui was really touching, he decided to do it again.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Xiaocui suddenly woke up and shouted "Your Majesty, no!". The maids and eunuchs waiting outside the palace could also hear clearly, but no one dared to enter the palace to stop them, so they had to listen. After a while,
The sound of broken porcelain was heard in the hall, and then Zhu Cixiang's loud shout came.
At this time, Wang Zhizhen, who was on duty at the palace that night, came here and entered the palace. Not long after, Xiao Cui's body was secretly carried out of the palace. Although the specifics of what happened in the palace were unknown.
People know it, but everyone "knows" that Xiaocui was killed because Zhu Cihong failed in his rape.
After listening to Kong Wu's report, Mu Linfeng pondered for a long time and thought to himself that this matter is indeed related to Wang Zhizhen. It seems that this matter is indeed not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Mu Linfeng thought about it and quickly asked Kong Wu how Xiaocui entered the palace, who entered the palace, and whether he had found out clearly.
Kong Wu immediately reported to Mu Linfeng that according to his investigation, the person who sent Xiaocui to the palace was Liu Dahai, the steward of the Jiaofang Division. However, the origin of Xiaocui could not be found out yet, but it was found that Liu Dahai was Wang Zhizhen's disciple. It is said that Liu Dahai was
Dahai took up the post of manager of the Jiaofang Department and was also guaranteed by Wang Zhizhen.
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he felt that the finger of blame for this matter was even more pointed at Wang Zhizhen, and he sneered in his heart, it turned out to be Wang Zhizhen.
Mu Linfeng knew why Wang Zhizhen did this. He wanted to let himself know how dissolute Zhu Cixi was. He wanted him to depose Zhu Cixi in a rage and ascend the throne as emperor. If he then married Wang Xuyuan to himself, then he would be
A veritable uncle of the country.
Mu Linfeng pondered for a long time, without any emotion on his face, and said to Kong Wu in a low voice: "I will go south to Fuzhou today. Don't take this matter seriously for the time being. Everything will wait until Fuzhou is settled. I will make a decision after I return to the court..."
Kong Wu heard the words and agreed repeatedly. Mu Linfeng thought for a while and then said to Kong Wu: "While I am away from the court, you can make friends with Liu Dahai and see what Liu Haida's hobbies are and what he likes."
, try to find out the origin of Xiao Cui from his mouth as much as possible..."
Kong Wu's eyes moved slightly, and he had some thoughts in his heart. He didn't dare to think too much and agreed quickly.
Mu Linfeng nodded, and then asked about the progress of the other two things that Kong Wu asked him to investigate.
Kong Wu immediately said that in the past few days when he was on duty, Zhou Shixian had entered the palace twice, both times to meet the princess Zhu Ainao. When he said this, Kong Wu observed the change in Mu Linfeng's face, and the veins on his forehead had popped up. It was obvious that
He had a murderous intention, and he immediately said, but when Zhou Shixian went to see the princess, there were maids and eunuchs waiting in the palace. Kong Wu was afraid of stirring up trouble, so he did not ask the maids and eunuchs around the princess, what happened to the princess?
It is not known what he said to Zhou Shixian.
After Mu Linfeng snorted, he nodded expressionlessly, looked at Kong Wu, and motioned for him to continue. Organize
Kong Wu then continued, as for the palace, Kong Wu had also sent people to monitor it for several days. Everyone was normal and nothing was found so far. He lowered his head and waited for Mu Linfeng's instructions.
Mu Linfeng pondered for a while, and then said to Mu Linfeng: "We must send people to monitor Zhou Shixian, and we cannot relax the monitoring in the palace..."
Kong Wu kept nodding in agreement, but then he saw Mu Linfeng approaching Kong Wu and whispered: "There is one more thing that needs to be handled by Commander Lao Kong!"
When Kong Wu saw that Mu Linfeng did not call him Brother Kong, but Commander Kong, his heart trembled. He knew that it was another difficult matter, but he could only agree: "I will obey the prince's instructions!"
Mu Linfeng walked behind Kong Wu at this time. Kong Wu quickly lowered his head and turned around, waiting for Mu Linfeng's order.
But I heard Mu Linfeng say: "Recently, there are a few people around me who have just been transferred to the Personal Military Department to protect me. You go find a few people and take them down. You can find any reason and wait for them first.
Take him into custody until I come back from Fuzhou!"
Kong Wu agreed immediately after hearing the words, but he was wondering in his heart why Mu Linfeng wanted to arrest his bodyguard. He couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about him. In short, as long as it was Mu Linfeng's order, as long as he followed it, he would be sure to do nothing wrong.
Kong Wu has always had this attitude since he took up the position of commander of the personal troops, because he is fully aware of the changes in Mu Linfeng, although he still regards Mu Linfeng as his sworn brother in his heart, and Mu Linfeng on the surface
He still regards himself as his sworn brother, but he knows that Mu Linfeng is no longer the Mu Linfeng he knew before.
After listening to Mu Linfeng's instructions, Kong Wu immediately left. His first action after leaving the study room was to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then hurriedly left.
After Kong Wu left, Mu Linfeng smashed his fists on the desk one after another, and said angrily in his heart: "Wang Zhizhen..." The maids passing by the study quickly dodged when they saw this.
After Wang Zhizhen prepared the troops for Mu Linfeng, all the officials in Nanjing gathered in front of the Nancheng Gate of Nanjing, waiting for Mu Linfeng.
Before Mu Linfeng went out, Chen Yuanyuan, Tokugawa Jiehui, Gu Meisheng, Bian Yujing and Zhong Nanping all looked reluctant and worried. After all, Mu Linfeng had suffered a big loss in Fuzhou before, so worry was unavoidable, but Kou Baimen was not.
Ci Ye unexpectedly appeared among the people seeing him off. Although he didn't say anything, looking at Mu Linfeng's eyes, Mu Linfeng could feel the worry of Dao Kou Baimen.
After Mu Linfeng said goodbye to the women, he immediately gave Kou Baimen a knowing smile. Upon seeing this, Kou Baimen quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Mu Linfeng's eyes until Mu Linfeng got on the horse and left.
When they arrived in front of the palace gate, Kou Baimen watched silently as Mu Linfeng's figure disappeared at the end of the avenue.
Bian Yujing noticed in advance that something was wrong in Kou Baimen's eyes. After all the women returned home, he held Kou Baimen's hand and smiled at Kou Baimen.
