Chapter 8                                                              

Zhou Mengchen repeated it again and said, "Is it true that you sent Jiang Zhou to meet the Japanese shogun?"

Zhao Wenhua didn't understand what was going on, so he continued: "Of course it's true."

Hu Zongxian's face was already pale. When he asked just now, Hu Zongxian did not react, but Zhou Mengchen repeated it once. Hu Zongxian immediately aroused a lot of associations and immediately understood.

Unfortunately, it's too late. It's too late.

Zhou Mengchen's face changed and he said, "Come on, take it."

Jiang Yuan and another hundred households rushed over immediately and were able to press Zhao Wenhua to the ground.

Zhao Wenhua still didn't know what was going on. He said, "Zhou Mengchen, what are you doing?"

Zhou Mengchen sighed softly, as if he was very sorry, and said, "Mr. Zhao, you are so indecent, and you dare to say in public that I have already reminded you. You are still obsessed with it, and I have no choice. Please forgive me, Lord Zhao."

Zhao Wenhua was still confused.

Zhou Mengchen had to remind him and said, "I know what Hu Weiyong's crime is?"

Zhao Wenhua immediately understood and said, "Teach the Japanese."

Hu Weiyong was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang. Naturally, there were many charges. However, the only ones related to Zhao Wenhua were the only ones who were connected to the Japanese.

Zhao Wenhua said sternly: "Zhou Mengchen, you are framed. I am just pursuing Wang Zhi. Whether to Cheng or not? You are deliberately framed by me."

Zhou Mengchen said: "Yes, if it was just Wang Zhi's business, I would turn a blind eye. But if you sent someone to meet the shogun, what name do I want to ask?"

Zhao Wenhua's face suddenly turned pale. He remembered that he only wrote a letter with the Governor of Jiangnan. There were no formal diplomatic documents. First of all, Zhou Mengchen didn't know much about whether there were formal diplomatic documents these days, as if there were letters of state.

No matter what you write? There are problems.

Zhao Wenhua said: "Can't I have some personal relationships with the shogun?"

Zhou Mengchen smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I remember that two years after Jiajing, Your Majesty ordered to cut off all relations with Japan. If you were to recruit Wang Zhi and talk about the Japanese pirates with the shogunate, I still think you were a special matter, but there were some problems. I didn't expect that I accidentally committed the crime of great disrespect. It was just an unintentional mistake and the possibility of pardon. But now you say it is a personal relationship, I will ask you, how did you contact me before? Who sent a ship to Jiangnan, but Lord Zhao sent a ship to Japan?"

Zhao Wenhua suddenly stopped talking, and these two charges, no matter which one can be called a sensation.

In short, Zhao Wenhua's crime was something he could not ignore.

Zhao Wenhua thought that he was defeated by Zhou Mengchen. But he never expected that this situation would be. Zhao Wenhua also knew that he had countless handles all over him. Whether it was the Zhang Jing case, the collection of Jiangnan wealth, the offering of Yan Dang, etc., it was fatal.

Zhao Wenhua has been arranging this matter in the past few days, so that Zhou Mengchen cannot find out.

In his opinion, there was no problem in sending people to surrender Wang Zhi and communicating with Japan about Japanese pirates. Even for merit. If it weren't for him to communicate with Wang Zhi, if this invasion was hosted by Wang Zhi, the scale would only be larger and even more difficult to deal with.

Moreover, among the Japanese pirates, there were many Japanese who naturally had to communicate with the Japanese government. Even during the Taizu and Chengzu period, they reported to Japan when facing Japanese pirates. Even the matter of the joint Qing Dynasty was held, the Ming, Japanese, Korean, and three countries jointly surrendering Japanese pirates.

But he forgot one thing: the above union was written by Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu to the Japanese side respectively. And what is he?

Zhou Mengchen considered his great disrespectful crime, but in fact he was not talking nonsense.

At this moment, Zhao Wenhua felt very wronged. Yes, wronged. If Zhou Mengchen seized his own handle, he would be convinced. But this was clearly picking the bones of serious work eggs. How to convince Zhao Wenhua.

Zhou Mengchen ignored it, Zhao Wenhua was convinced or not. When Zhang Jing was stabbed in Beijing, was Zhang Jing convinced?

Zhou Mengchen sighed and did not go to see Zhao Wenhua, but looked around everyone and said, "Mr. Zhao's affairs are too big. I have to deal with it, but Master Zhao's case is not something I can take responsibility. Let the people below prepare and send Lord Zhao to Beijing. The right and wrong, merits and demerits must be decided by Beijing."

"What do you think?"

What else can be done? They are so scared that they are like quails.

How famous Zhao Wenhua is in Jiangnan, I don’t know how many officials he has taken. Now the officials below are either honest people who dare not leave a single one, or Zhao Wenhua’s people.

None of these people wanted to plead for Zhao Wenhua.

Including Hu Zongxian, he also opened his mouth and said nothing in the end.

If it is the most famous thing about embezzlement, bribery, murder, fighting for merit, etc., both Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian are ready to struggle. After all, these cases require evidence. After all, Zhao Wenhua is also a senior official of the court and must be taken without any clarity.

In addition, Zhao Wenhua has been operating in Jiangnan for so long, and it is relatively easy to die without a certificate.

If Zhou Mengchen wanted to defeat Zhao Wenhua on this, it would not be a long time, but it would not be able to come down in one or two days. It would give Zhao Wenhua more time to respond and see if he could wait for the reaction of the capital.

All the premonitions of Hu Zongxian and Zhao Wenhua were disappointed.

Hu Zongxian didn't know how to refute it. This was truly ironclad evidence. Even Zhao Wenhua said it himself.

Some things are not exaggerated, but there is actually nothing at all. After all, the laws of the Ming Dynasty have been relaxed, and Hu Zongxian is the first, definitely not the last, who communicates with foreign countries in a private identity. Even Zhou Mengchen had some private communication with Qingcheng during the Datong period. However, once some things are exaggerated, they are political correct that cannot be refuted.

What should I do if Hu Zongxian is asked to do?

When this happened, the meeting could not be discussed anymore. Zhou Mengchen then said a few words and then left.

After Zhou Mengchen returned to the backyard, he immediately called Xu Wei and He Xinyin over and said, "Zhao Wenhua was too careless. Today I have a little bit of victory. However, since Zhao Wenhua is like this, I am disrespectful."

"Brother Xu." Zhou Mengchen said.

Xu Wei said, "Sir, please give me instructions."

Zhou Mengchen said to you, "I borrow a large amount of money to write a memorial for me, and write a letter to the original work of today, and crucify the crime of disrespect."

Xu Wei said, "I understand."

Zhou Mengchen said: "Mr. He."

He Xinyin was a little respectful to Zhou Mengchen at this moment. He actually didn't expect that Zhao Wenhua, who was so arrogant, would become a prisoner in one day. His eyes looked a little wrong at Zhou Mengchen. He said, "Sir, please give me instructions."

Zhou Mengchen said: "Two things. The first thing is that since Zhao Wenhua has already entered, none of us wants him to come out. Although I have made this crime very disrespectful, it is actually a big or small one. The power of the Yan Party is here, and Zhao Wenhua may not have anything to do. At this time, it is time to take advantage of his illness to kill him."

He Xinyin narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you going to make him commit suicide because of his crime?"

Zhou Mengchen was stunned and said in his heart: "Are you all so wild?" He immediately said: "No, never. This thing must not be done. The initiator will not be left behind. If this matter is spread, it will not only damage the reputation of the court, but also be detrimental to Mr. Xu. We cannot do this thing no matter what."

Everyone is an official, and who has not been in a short while? Doing this will cause anger to the public. Zhou Mengchen understood this very well, and he continued: "I mean, please write a letter to Mr. Xu to make Mr. Xu prepare. Secondly, please mobilize some people in Jiangnan."

He Xinyin said: "What should we mobilize the people to do?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "In a few days, I will send Zhao Wenhua to the capital, and then let the court see the public opinion of Jiangnan." Zhou Mengchen said in his heart: "By the way, let all officials of Jiangnan see it, Zhao Wenhua's era is over."

He Xinyin didn't know whether he understood or not, but agreed and went to make arrangements.
