After receiving the news, Xu Xianchun had already walked out of it.

Seeing Huang Kezhang, Xu Xianchun hurriedly bowed and said with a smile: "Why is the Master Ge here?"

Looking up at Xu Xianchun, although Huang Kezhang looked down on Xu Xianchun, he also knew that now is not the time to care about these things.

So Huang Kezhang said: "I just learned about the assassination of Your Majesty. Master Xu and Duke of England entered the palace together. Your Majesty has already fallen asleep, so we did not disturb him. Master Xu asked me to come here to take a look and ask what the specific situation is."

After hearing Huang Kezhang's words, Xu Xianchun's heart suddenly turned around and understood what it meant.

Obviously, the news of His Majesty's assassination this time was very riots, and three big men had formed a temporary yamen. Two cabinet masters and one British duke, this group could not afford to mess with him.

So Xu Xianchun said, "The person is already interrogating. I wonder if the Master wants to go and take a look?"

Naturally, we can't stop Huang Kezhang at this time. If we stop him, something might happen, so Xu Xianchun wanted Huang Kezhang to take a look.

Since the person has arrived here, there is naturally no reason not to go see it, so Huang Kezhang nodded and said, "Then let's go and have a look together."

"Please, please, Master Ge." After saying this, Xu Xianchun turned around and led the way respectfully.

Two people came to a room one in front and one in the future.

After entering, Huang Kezhang discovered that this place had been arranged into a prison by the Jinyiwei. Obviously, the Jinyiwei was still very fast.

The burning brazier made crackling sounds from time to time, and the already burning iron seemed to have made people smell the smell of barbecue. There were all kinds of brand new torture instruments hanging on the wall, all of which were ready to sacrifice with blood.

A man was stripped of his outer clothes, leaving only his middle clothes with no color left on his body, and he was torn like a pile of ragged cloth hanging on a shelf not far away.

The iron hook directly hooked on his jaw, and the whip marks on his body were scattered, blood and flesh flew, and a pool of black blood stains under his feet made people shudder.

Obviously, after arriving at the Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei had no hesitation at all and directly used the means.

Huang Kezhang glanced at Xu Xianchun, frowned and asked, "Who is this person?"

Although the Ministry of Justice will also use punishments when asking for cases, it is not as severe as the Jinyiwei, so when Huang Kezhang saw this scene, he always felt a little uncomfortable.

However, this time it was a major rebellion case, which involved the assassination of His Majesty. Even if the methods were more intense, there was nothing to say. As long as you don’t kill someone, it would be a good idea.

Besides, the case was investigated by the Jinyiwei, which was also the account of His Majesty. He did not receive His Majesty's imperial edict, so he naturally couldn't intervene rashly.

Ask about the interrogation process and look at the criminals in the case. This is the greatest extent. If you intervene too deeply, the Jinyiwei will definitely be dissatisfied.

Now it’s a good situation for you and I, everyone, so there’s no need to make trouble again. If His Majesty knows that he has been making trouble with the Jinyiwei, especially when His Majesty is assassinated, if he has made trouble with the Jinyiwei, he will seem ignorant.

When Xu Xianchun heard Huang Kezhang's question, he smiled and said, "Eunuch, the eunuch of the Prince of Lu's Mansion."

Huang Kezhang naturally heard of the name of Chen He. He had already figured out who the two assassins were before coming to Jinyiwei. Now he heard that it was Chen He, so he didn't find anything surprised.

Looking up at Xu Xianchun, Huang Kezhang asked, "Can you provide me with your mouth?"

"Of course there is no problem." Xu Xianchun also said with a smile, and at the same time reached out to bring Chen He's confession over.

There is no problem with confession at all. Xu Xianchun is not afraid of Huang Kezhang seeing any problems.

He reached out and took the confession over, and Huang Kezhang looked at it quickly.

In this confession, Chen He confessed in detail why he assassinated His Majesty. The reason is also very simple, that is, they are afraid that His Majesty will track them down.

During the day, His Majesty met King Lu and asked about something about King Lu. After King Lu returned, Chen He went to see King Lu and asked what His Majesty had said to King Lu.

The King of Lu told Chen He that His Majesty talked about the embezzlement of disaster relief food and salary. After obtaining this situation, Chen He was very frightened.

According to Chen He's confession, King Lu didn't know about the corruption of food and wages. He did everything with Zhou Yi, the chief of the royal palace. So they were scared.

Once His Majesty learns that they deceived King Lu and embezzled the food and wages for disaster relief under the banner of King Lu, what other good ends will they have?

So Chen He went to Zhou Yi to discuss the matter. After hearing about this matter, Zhou Yi put forward the opinion of assassinating His Majesty.

According to Chen He's confession, Zhou Yi had long colluded with the White Lotus Sect, and he sold a lot of the disaster relief food that Zhou Yi had embezzled from the Lu Palace to the White Lotus Sect.

The White Lotus Sect is also collecting food in large quantities, using it for rebellion, and using it as military ration. At the same time, the White Lotus Sect has existed for decades and has developed very strongly.

Zhou Yi wanted to cause chaos in Jining by assassinating His Majesty, and then let the White Lotus Sect enter the city. After doing these things, they would support King Lu together.

By that time, Zhou Yi and Chen He were both heroes of the founding of the country. The reason why the two of them were full of confidence was that they were not only doing the matter of selling food, but also had many partners.

Including officials at all levels in Shandong, especially the governor and the imprisonment envoy, these two people are also their partners. There are even people from Qufu.

Everyone is afraid that the corruption of disaster relief food will be exposed, so as long as His Majesty dies, they will raise their arms and shout, and these people will inevitably rebel with them.

After reading this confession, Huang Kezhang was furious and slapped the confession on the table and said, "It's simply a delusion and bold act! These people are really worthy of death!"

Listening to Huang Kezhang's words and looking at him, Xu Xianchun smiled slightly.

Of course, this confession is half true and half false, but some things can withstand investigation. As for those things that cannot withstand investigation, there is no way to investigate them.

There is evidence for selling food and embezzlement of disaster relief food. The officials involved and the people in Qufu are all involved with evidence.

As for the fact that they colluded with the White Lotus Sect, such things are naturally extremely private, and it is difficult to investigate. But if you give yourself time, you will naturally be able to find evidence.

"I wonder if Master Ge wants to ask anything?" Xu Xianchun looked at Huang Kezhang and asked with a smile.

Xu Xianchun was very confident that no matter what Huang Kezhang asked, he could give an answer.

Huang Kezhang shook his head and said, "There is nothing to ask."

Huang Kezhang could see that not all the things in this confession were true, but he could not confirm it. It was impossible to interrogate these two people here. Although he was a cabinet master, he still did not have this right.

"Your Majesty asked the Jinyiwei to investigate this matter, and then this matter will inevitably belong to the Jinyiwei."

If you want to get into a trick, it is overstepping power. The Jinyiwei will not agree, nor will His Majesty agree.

I am not that stupid, and I will not interfere in this matter for the sake of the two thieves.

Whether His Majesty wants to use the rebels to deal with some people or someone really wants to rebel, it has nothing to do with him, so why bother to get yourself into it?

Judging from the current situation, maybe that's the case.

During these days in Jining, Huang Kezhang was not idle. He checked all the way up and down. Even Zhang Shun from Jining was checked and he also got some useful things.

In this confession, many of the confessions can be confirmed, such as reselling food for disaster relief, and Shandong officials are working on it.

Only the White Lotus Sect’s affairs have not been verified, but it is not that difficult. As long as you send a message, it will definitely be verified.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Xu." Huang Kezhang said with a smile: "I will say goodbye first."

"Ge Lao, walk slowly." Xu Xianchun also smiled and said, "I'll send you to Ge Lao."

The two of them left the Jinyiwei's residence together.

Huang Kezhang came back directly, it can be said that he went quickly and he came back quickly.

After Huang Kezhang saw Xu Guangqi, he told Xu Guangqi everything in full.

After hearing Huang Kezhang's words, Xu Guangqi slapped the table suddenly and said angrily: "These people are really bold!"

"Yes." Huang Kezhang also echoed: "Is he really brave?! He reselled food for disaster relief, but he had no regrets. After the incident was exposed, he actually wanted to rebel, and it was really unforgivable!"

Xu Guangqi glanced at Huang Kezhang and said, "The most urgent task is to find the thief of the White Lotus Sect. Let his subordinates investigate and find out the thief of the White Lotus Sect in Jining.

Listening to Xu Guangqi's words, Huang Kezhang nodded.

Of course he understood what Xu Guangqi meant. On the surface, he wanted to investigate the rebels, but in fact he wanted to confirm Xu Xianchun's words and confirm that confession to see if someone really wanted to rebel.

If someone really wants to rebel, then there is nothing to say. If it is Xu Xianchun's hat and wants to take the opportunity to implicate it in Shandong, then this matter may be under control.

But this matter cannot be said openly, so we can only find out the matter first.

"I'll have someone go check it out immediately." Huang Kezhang nodded and said.

In Jining, Jinyiwei was naturally omnipresent. Qi Jin's people guarded Jining City; as for Huang Kezhang, they were the yamen in Jining.

Huang Kezhang had the final say in all the yamen, and he had someone in his hands.

"No need to worry, I'm here to stay." Xu Guangqi nodded and said, "You must find out before dawn."

"I'll go right away." Huang Kezhang also nodded and said.

When Huang Kezhang left, Xu Guangqi sat on the chair, thinking about today's affairs repeatedly, while thinking about the possibilities of this matter and how to deal with the aftermath tomorrow.

For Xu Guangqi, no one in this matter was innocent. Whether it was the people of the Lu Palace or the officials at all levels in Shandong in the Ming Dynasty, they were all dead.

The only thing that worried Xu Guangqi was the people in Qufu. They were descendants of Confucius, the dignified Yan Shenggong.

Although Xu Guangqi did not believe in Qufu, and even looked down on Qufu, the attitude of scholars in the world was that everyone claimed to be Confucius' disciples. If it really made a fuss, it would be in trouble.

At that time, it may affect Your Majesty. However, he could only think about this matter. What the final result depends on what Your Majesty said and he also had to make a decision from Your Majesty.

The next morning, the rising sun rose and the sun shone on Jining City.

When the people today opened the door, they found that Jining City was in martial law and soldiers were everywhere on the streets.

These soldiers had serious faces and looked murderous. This look naturally scared many people so much that they didn't dare to go out.

But no matter when, there are naturally some brave people, and some well-informed people. Some people go out to inquire about the news, and someone goes directly to the street to inquire.

So the news spread.

Your Majesty was assassinated in Jining! Someone in Jining wants to rebel!

After the news came out, everyone was heartbroken.

You must know that this is Your Majesty, Your Majesty of the Ming Dynasty!

Who is so brave to assassinate His Majesty?
