Qing Jialu

Chapter 172 Visiting the Golden Gate

Xiao Yi slapped the folder to the ground, scaring everyone into silence, let alone daring to move.

"This is a secret document, and it has not been released yet." Xiao Yi glanced coldly at Youqin Du Yushi and the rest of the officials, "How did you know that?"

Youqian Capital Yushi hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this letter has already spread throughout the capital, and I don't know where it came from."

Xiao Yi looked at Kapok again, and Kapok also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the secret book has been sealed in the palace and will never be passed on."

"Really?" Xiao Yi thought for a while, "That's what Cao Zuo leaked, General Wei."

"The minister is here." Wei Mo stepped forward and replied.

Xiao Yi knocked on the table with his fingers, and said coldly: "Find out this matter."

"I obey the order." Wei Mo cupped his hands to receive the order.

"As for all of you," the emperor glanced at the group of Beijing officials who bowed their heads and dared not speak, "stay in the government office for the time being and cooperate with the investigation."

This is considered to be an excuse to detain the person, and the Beijing officials dare not speak out, so they can only admit it.

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he waved everyone away, and sat quietly in the main hall alone, looking at the memorial that he threw on the ground.

Apart from himself, Shen Jia and Eunuch Chen having read this memorial, only one person knew the contents of the secret.That person is the one who wrote the secret book.

Wei Mo sent people to Cheng Weiting's hometown to investigate the matter, and at this time, in a small village in Zhejiang, Shen Jia and the others finally found Zhao Erye who had been hiding for a long time.

"Second Master Zhao, let us find it easier." Shen Jia looked at the potbellied man in front of him, showing disgust, "Hide, if you hide again, can you escape the eyes and ears of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang?"

"My lords, I, I just went back to my hometown for a few days, what did I hide?" Second Master Zhao still insisted on not admitting it.

"Second Master Zhao, don't toast and refuse to eat fine wine, just bow your head and confess your guilt. Besides, your accomplices have already recruited, and I still have the physical evidence written by you in my hand." Shen Jia took out the piece of paper, "You You want me to sign and pledge, and join you. Unfortunately, I missed a move."

"Shen, Mr. Shen Ge, I, I didn't, I was wronged!" Second Master Zhao would not dare to confess his guilt easily when he was about to die.You must know that the crime of collaborating with the enemy, ransacking the family and exterminating the family, this crime is too great.

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, we have plenty of time." Shen Jia waved his hand and ordered Erye Zhao to be tied up, planning to take him back to Hangzhou for interrogation.

However, Shen Jia doesn't know it now, because Cheng Weiting's secret story has spread, and Hangzhou is in chaos at this moment.The students who took the lead in making a fuss failed at one plan, but under the guidance of the mastermind behind the scenes, they made another plan.They copied many copies of the contents of Cheng Weiting's secret papers and sprinkled them all over the city of Hangzhou.

For a while Shen Jia's accumulated reputation was ruined, and the emperor wanted to suppress it, but the rumors and rumors spread too fast, coupled with the guidance of caring people, it was difficult to stop the rumors.

Because Xiao Yi's identity was exposed, he could no longer live in Youfeng Inn. Mu Mian originally wanted His Majesty to live in the Du Mansion, but Xiao Yi didn't want to trouble the Du family, so after much deliberation, he could only move to the backyard of the mansion.

When he came here again, Xiao Yi found that the scenes and objects in the backyard hadn't changed much, and he seemed to be able to see the shadow left by Shen Jia here.

"Since Master Shen left, no one has lived here anymore." The old servant who came to guide the way said, "I remember Your Majesty, Master Shen brought you to Houya before, and you even ate the noodles I made."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu also remembered, and he asked: "So it's you, old man, you've been working in the back office all these years?"

"Yes, the old man has been working here for half his life, and he hasn't moved the place." The old servant still took Xiao Yi to the room where he lived before, "This is Lord Shen's former room. Later, when Lord Xu was the magistrate, he had I have never lived in my own house."

Xiao Yi understood that only people like Shen Jia who have not married a wife and had children live alone in the backyard to make do.

"Your Majesty, what would you like to have for dinner, I'll ask someone to prepare it." The old servant asked with a low eyebrow.

"Don't bother, let's eat the pasta you made again." Xiao Yi smiled.

"Okay." The old servant left cheerfully. He never dreamed that he would have the opportunity to make noodles for the emperor in this life.

And, twice!

After the old servant went down, kapok came in.She has just moved out from Shen's residence and lives in the government office with His Majesty.Although Mu Jin was not willing to let her sister go, she also heard some gossip about the elder brother and His Majesty in the Du Mansion, and knowing the seriousness of the matter, she no longer wanted to keep her.

Seeing Mu Mian coming, Xiao Yi rubbed his brows and asked, "Kapian, did you find anything?"

Recently, Kapok has not been idle, and has been letting the people in Dongchang secretly investigate the ins and outs of the matter.Now there are some clues.She replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, there are indeed people behind those students who are guiding them. This servant feels that the mastermind behind the scenes may not be the Beijing officials who came to make trouble. Those officials have been locked up in the side courtyard, and it is impossible to communicate with the outside world."

"Behind the capital officials, there must be an envoy." Xiao Yi said, "This time they split into two groups, and they want to put Shen Jia to death."

After hearing this, Mu Mian suggested, "Your Majesty, why don't you arrest the student who took the lead in making trouble and let Dongchang have a trial."

"Don't startle them, just send someone to keep an eye on them." Xiao Yi asked again, "Where is Cheng Weiting?"

"The person sent by General Wei hasn't sent a message yet." Mu Mian looked up at Xiao Yi cautiously, and said carefully, "Your Majesty, the news came from the yamen just now that the second master of the Zhao family has been arrested. In a few days... just coming back."

Mu Mian didn't dare to say who would come back, but both Xiao Yi and she knew it well.

"Understood." Xiao Yi nodded indiscriminately, only feeling restless.

"Then...Your Majesty..." Mu Mian hesitated to speak, not knowing how to speak.

But Xiao Yi immediately understood what Mu Mian wanted to ask, but he didn't think about what to do for a while, so he could only say: "First, don't tell Shen Jia."

"But..." Mu Mian looked at His Majesty worriedly. This matter spread all over the city.

People's words are terrible, and when Shen Jia returns to Hangzhou, she doesn't know how she will react when she hears and sees these messy things.

"I know your worry, you want to write a letter to let him know in advance, so that he can have confidence." Xiao Yi sighed, and slowly closed his eyes, "But that time after he read Cheng Weiting's impeachment secret, He vomited blood and fell into a coma. I can't imagine what will happen to him this time, so I'll tell him slowly when he comes back."

His Majesty really felt sorry for Eldest Brother, even in such a field, he still wanted to bear it alone and was unwilling to tell Shen Jia the truth.

It's just that in this way, all the burdens are on His Majesty's shoulders, which is really exhausting.

"Your servant understands." Mu Mian gave His Majesty a sympathetic look, and then slowly stepped back.
