Chapter 80                                                             �

Zhou Mengchen naturally knew. But now he still lacks iron evidence to make a final decision. But Zhou Mengchen can be sure that Qiu Luan must have something to do with Altan. Originally, Zhou Mengchen wanted to settle the matter for a while and let him capture more evidence from Qiu Luan.

But Zhou Mengchen had heard Jiajing's order to enter the capital.

This made Zhou Mengchen unable to sit still. He asked a general who had an unknown relationship with Altan to guard the capital. Zhou Mengchen really couldn't feel at ease. After all, his family was still in the city of Beijing.

Therefore, he must come to remind Jiajing of the risks.

Zhou Mengchen said firmly: "I know." Then Zhou Mengchen took out a stack of documents and presented them with both hands and said: "This is all the files about Qiu Luan."

Without waiting for Huang Jin to submit the report, Jiajing walked up and grabbed the document handed over by Zhou Mengchen.

After Jiajing opened it, he immediately frowned slightly before he could take a closer look.

Jiajing has read countless files. But Zhou Mengchen's files give Jiajing a different feeling. He couldn't feel anything different for a while. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was similar to the papers on the sincerity of a great doctor and the study of things and the study of knowledge.

This is not so much a file, but a brief summary of Zhou Mengchen's investigation record.

The above mentioned the death of Zhao Da, what Ma Fang saw and heard on the front line, and even the tacit understanding between Qiu Luan and the Tatars. There is also the abnormal industry of the enemy's family in the capital. The sheep and horse market, which was so huge that there were almost no counting sheep, tens of thousands of pack horses, and even a considerable number of war horses. Even Zhou Mengchen estimated the profit, at least 400,000 taels. Of course, Zhou Mengchen also knew that such a large profit was not something that Qiu Luan could eat alone. Not to mention anything else, the subordinates would not get a share of the pie, and Altan was not easy to pass. Yan Shifan could not give him anywhere.

At that time, Zhou Mengchen also played a small flower gun here, but did not say it directly. Instead, he mentioned it in one stroke, giving people the feeling that Qiu Luan could get 500,000 taels every year.

In Zhou Mengchen's opinion, this is unproven.

Because although there are motivations, facts, and interests, the whole thing can be fulfilled, most of them are speculated by Zhou Mengchen. There are too many subjective factors and they are not considered ironclad.

But in Jiajing's opinion, it is enough.

Tell a joke, the emperor needs evidence to kill people.

Jiajing has always proved the free mind. Of course, it is because in this era, there are not always cameras. It is impossible to require the death method of the future generations to demand this era. If there is a chain of evidence in the future generations to convict, it is estimated that there will be no criminal in the Ming Dynasty.

Even the cases handled by some famous officials and officials in the Ming Dynasty court seemed to be a little simple and crude in the eyes of later generations, let alone the emperor.

These materials are enough for Jiajing to have deep doubts about Qiu Luan.

For Jiajing, doubt is often enough.

However, he had to make sure of one thing. That is, what Zhou Mengchen gave him was real.

Jiajing said: "Transfer to Lu Bing."

After a moment, Lu Bing came over.

Lu Bing is always by Jiajing, and he always seems not by Jiajing.

No matter when, as long as Jiajing said he wanted to see Lu Bing, Lu Bing would immediately come to Jiajing. But if nothing happened, Lu Bing would find a room in Yuxi Palace to work. The Jinyiwei gave many things here.

Without saying a word, Jiajing gave these files to Lu Bing and said, "Is this true?"

Lu Bing took it and frowned slightly. Then he looked at Zhou Mengchen and then looked carefully. Finally, he said, "Your Majesty, some things are real. Master Zhou's investigation in the capital is true. The enemy's business in Yangma City has always known the Jinyiwei. However, in the situation in Datong, Zhao Da fought outside the city and died in an exhausted state. The Jinyiwei in Datong did not report these. As for Altan's army, I have been sending people to keep an eye on it, and there have been many casualties. More than a dozen people have been missing. So I can only follow it from afar and dare not go to the front line. Therefore, these things need to be investigated carefully."

The Jinyiwei is not omnipotent

The Jinyiwei is made up of humans. It is impossible not to make mistakes and cannot be selfish.

The Jinyiwei in the capital was also quite combat-effective under Lu Bing's rectification. However, it was only trapped near the capital. The Jinyiwei in the local area was generally mixed with fish and dragons. Many Jinyiwei had been in the local area for too long, and they forgot their identities and colluded with local officials.

Therefore, the news from the Datong Jinyi Guardian also explains this. No matter what happened to the Datong Jinyi Guardian, at least they are no longer the Jinyi Guardians of the imperial court.

Jiajing heard this and said, "There is such a trick in the Sheep and Horse Market, why don't you tell me?"

Lu Bing immediately knelt down and said, "I know the crime."

In fact, Lu Bing reported to Jiajing. However, Jiajing did not take much effort, just thought Qiu Luan had bought some more property. He didn't bother at all. After all, Qiu Luan was also a celebrity in front of Jiajing. Jiajing himself didn't care about his ministers making money. But Lu Bing would never say it.

Seeing Lu Bing like this, Jiajing thought about it for a moment and thought about it. It seemed that Lu Bing had said to him. However, he did not tell him. Instead, he sighed slightly and said, "Today is such a good day, one is Altan, the other is Qiu Luan, especially Qiu Luan. OK, it's so good."

Jiajing's pupils condensed slightly, and a murderous intent condensed out.

Shuangxue was originally trying to snatch the owner's legs, but suddenly she felt something was wrong. The whole cat and limbs moved at the same time and jumped backwards. She didn't dare to get close to Jiajing.

Jiajing really had the intention to kill Qiu Luan.

The reason why he believed in Zhou Mengchen so much was that Zhou Mengchen's file was still somewhat convincing. Secondly, he also trusted Zhou Mengchen. Although Zhou Mengchen and Qiu Luan had conflicts of interest, this conflict of interest was not yet enough to survive.

Zhou Mengchen sued Qiu Luan this time, but it was a situation where either you die or I die.

It seems that it is true, otherwise Zhou Mengchen would not have put his life on the gambling table.

Jiajing was not bad at the enemy, otherwise the Marquis of Xianning was only granted a marquis who was only granted during the Zhengde period. Even many marquises who were granted at the same time were revoked. The title of Marquis of Xianning was much worse than that of Taizu's founding of the country, and Chengzu's heroes in Jingnan.

Even so, the enemy has become one of the largest mountains among the nobles.

This is why Jiajing is the backer of this situation.

And since Qiu Luan dares to do this?

"Your Majesty." Lu Bing said: "Now the Tartars broke through the pass and entered, which is the time to use people. Some things should be rough rather than detailed, and many things are not worth exploring. The Marquis of Xianning may have many details and some are wrong. But now he is the commander of the army. The court always needs to pay attention to the morale of the army."

Zhou Mengchen never expected that Lu Bing would actually speak for Qiu Luan.

But after hearing this, Zhou Mengchen paused in his heart. He actually felt that what Lu Bing said had some truth.

Lu Bing considered a lot, and the first one was Zhou Mengchen's file. This file was not found by Jinyiwei. There were indeed some problems on it. Therefore, Lu Bing could not completely believe in the file.

Second, consider the overall situation.

Now the soldiers under Qiu Luan are already in the hope of the world. When Qiu Luan’s army comes to resolve the crisis in Beijing.

At this time, if Qiu Luan is taken down, the impact will be too great.

It is easy to take Qiu Luan. But it is too difficult to cure the consequences, especially who can lead Qiu Luan to lead the troops. This is a very difficult question. If it is at other times, there is still a little time to investigate and a little time to clean up the mess. But now, I don’t know when the war with the Tartars will begin, but it’s soon.

At this critical moment, it is really inappropriate to do the main matter.

Zhou Mengchen said in his heart: "It's still me who thinks it too well."

Zhou Mengchen was worried before that Qiu Luan was placed in this critical position, worried that Qiu Luan was unreliable. Now he suddenly was worried that if Jiajing couldn't calm down and insisted on making Qiu Luan out of the battle. Maybe history would really be rewritten.

Of course, it is not about moving in a better direction, but about a worse direction.

This gave Zhou Mengchen new concerns.
