Liu Hongxun was taken to Xinxian Prison all the way.

Along the way, I kept shouting about wronged.

Soon, Deng Jian led his men to attack the Liu family directly.

The Liu family has not had a large population in the capital, only more than twenty people.

Liu Hongxun's mansion was not big, so the search was completed quickly.

After that, the head of the Ministry of Rites, Chen, was quickly invited to the Xinxian Prison.

The entire Xinxian Prison was now shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.

In the capital, there are already people with sensitive information who have learned the news in advance.

Therefore, the news has been circulating.

Liu Hongxun, Minister of Rites, was also arrested.

This is something that people never think of forever.

Liu Hongxun's official reputation was very good and he was called a gentleman. Such a person actually became a rioter, which made many scholars start to be sarcastic, and it was said that the factory guards framed the loyal and kind-hearted.

But these words are what they say.

Focusing on Liu Hongxun, the big fish, Xinxian has begun to be arranged in full swing.

As soon as Zhang Jing left the palace, he quickly arrived at Xinxian Prison.

Master Chen was already waiting here anxiously. As soon as he saw Zhang Jing coming in, he quickly stood up and said with a flattering look: "I have met the Marquis."

Zhang Jing nodded to him and said, "How about it, what clues are there these days?"

Chief Chen quickly took out a document and said, "These days, the officials dare not neglect and buried their heads in the document every day. Finally, their hard work pays off and found this."

When Zhang Jing took it, he saw a document about allowing Monk Yuanhui of Daruoji to take over as the presidency.

According to the rules, not only monks need to have a monk's certificate, but even if they are the presiding of the temple, after a respected monk is elected from the monk, the Ministry of Rites also needs to send someone to verify the identity of the person, and according to the situation, they allow or refuse to be promoted to presiding.

And this monk Yuanhui can be confirmed that this person is closely related to the Tian family and is a person who is placed in Daruo Temple by the Tian family.

As for the back of this document, Liu Hongxun's name was signed.

Zhang Jing thought for a while and said, "What position did Liu Hongxun hold at that time?"

"The Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites." Chen said: "In fact, he should not be in charge of the affairs of the temple as a dignified right Assistant Minister. This is the business of the monks and the officials after all, he is a superior official. If he decides the candidate, the officials below will naturally not dare to object."

Zhang Jingyi interjected: "That means, is there any collusion between Liu Hongxun and this monk Yuanhui?"

Master Chen smiled and said, "This is not accurate, but... this is indeed a bit unusual."

Zhang Jing said, "I understand, thank you for your hard work."

Chief Chen immediately said: "Where, where? It is really a blessing for the marquis to serve the marquis. I wonder what marquis has to give? The marquis must do his best to serve the marquis."

Zhang Jing smiled and looked at him and said, "It's okay, you can go back to the Ministry of Rites to do the job."

Master Chen suddenly showed disappointment. He thought he could take this opportunity to get to the relationship between Zhang Jingyi, but he didn't expect that Zhang Jingyi would treat him as straw paper and use it as soon as he said he could use it. After using it, he threw it into the pit.

But he tried his best not to show it, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "Goodbye."

Zhang Jingyi didn't have the heart to take care of so much, then looked down at the document, and then asked Deng Jian, "How is it, has the Liu family confiscated it?"

Deng Jian said: "It has been copied and twenty-four people have been arrested, six of whom are the concierge and the thick girl. It is obvious that it is impossible to get in touch with any secrets, so... although it is temporarily imprisoned, if there is no problem, I will be ready to let it go."

"As for the others, in addition to one of Liu Hongxun's concubines, a son and a nephew, they are the managers and accountants in the mansion. These people are strictly supervising. As for his wife, and second sons, they are all in their hometowns, and they are afraid they will have to live some time before they can take them down."

Basically, when officials go to the capital to be officials, their wives are placed in their hometowns, and most of the people who stay here are concubines.

There seemed to be no problem here, so Zhang Jing said: "Surprise his hometown, move quickly, otherwise the news will leak and the person will leave. By the way, how much money has been collected from his family?"

Speaking of this, Deng Jian smiled bitterly and said, "There are not many, only more than three hundred taels, but I think... a lot of gold and silver are in his hometown."

Zhang Jing nodded, then his expression gradually became more serious, and he said, "Liu Hongxun is now the most important person in this group, ranks second-rank, and has a great relationship. Such a person...the information he can know must be extraordinary! Therefore, he must conduct a surprise interrogation of his relatives. Later, I will meet Liu Hongxun for a while. As long as Liu Hongxun speaks, many things will be solved."

"At that time..." Speaking of this, Zhang Jingyi looked at Deng Jian deeply and then said, "That will be a huge contribution by then. Your Majesty will not only uproot the rebellion, but most importantly, only by getting that amount of silver, can the world of Ming Dynasty be saved if you get that large sum of silver!"

"Therefore, the relationship between this matter is very important. I am afraid that it will be harder these days. Is the interrogation room ready?"

Deng Jian was also shocked. Of course he knew what was going on. He nodded solemnly and said, "It's ready."

"Let's go." Zhang Jingyi immediately said, "Then go and have a good time to meet this Liu Hongxun."

As he said that, Zhang Jingyi and Deng Jian rushed to the interrogation room.

Here, Liu Hongxun sat on a special chair, and he kept saying: "I am a second-rank official and a minister of the Ministry of Rites. Do you dare..."

As soon as he saw Zhang Jing coming in, Liu Hongxun stared at his eyes and snorted coldly: "Zhang Jingyi, do you want to betray him?"

Zhang Jingyi threw the document directly on Liu Hongxun, and then said, "What's going on? Daruo Temple is a thief's nest. When you were the right minister of the Ministry of Rites in the second year of Tianqi, why did you specifically ask about the candidate for the host of Daruosi? This mere trivial matter also needs to alarm you, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Hongxun's face suddenly changed.

Zhang Jingyi saw Liu Hongxun's changing face, curled his lips and smiled, and said with obvious sarcasm: "At this point, I am still here to show your authority? It seems that Mr. Liu has never thought about how serious the matter is. What Mr. Liu is involved in is the serious crime of raiding the family and extermination of the clan. Does Mr. Liu think that he can still be lucky now?"

Liu Hongxun slowly closed his eyes and said lightly: "What's wrong with wanting to add a crime? I'll frame you and frame it."

Zhang Jingyi sneered: "It seems you don't plan to say it anymore."

"There is nothing to say." Liu Hongxun said righteously: "The country has reached such a state, and it is precisely because of the tyrant monarch and treacherous ministers like you that the world is disappointed!"

"Zhang Jingyi, you consciously can get rich today, and have you ever thought about what will happen if the country is destroyed in the future?"

"I know." Zhang Jing nodded: "That is why I became a cruel official in your eyes. I will never show mercy to deal with you rioters."

Liu Hongxun laughed and said, "The crazy talk of a child is not worth mentioning."

Zhang Jing looked at him coldly.

Liu Hongxun then acted unfashionedly and said, "You should condemn whatever you want to condemn, just that."

Zhang Jingyi then calmed down and smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Liu has made up his mind to refuse to admit it. Since Mr. Liu doesn't care about him, he doesn't seem to care about his family anymore."

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Hongxun's face showed a look of pain, but he still remained silent.

Zhang Jingyi simply walked out of the interrogation room and instructed Deng Jian: "This person will not speak easily like this. Please put Liu Hongxun into a special cell first."

Deng Jian nodded.

The so-called special cell was specially established by Zhang Jingyi in the prison. This cell can only accommodate one person standing, and there is almost no way to curl up. There are high walls on three sides, only one side is through the door, and once the iron gate is closed, it is pitch black inside.

If you are inside, you can't sit down or lie down. The faces are dark. Only those who are extremely important or those who are dishonest will be locked up and given special admonitions for a few days.

Generally speaking, ordinary people cannot stay in it for too long. Many people are imprisoned for not long, and their bodies are almost on the verge of collapse and they have to rely on people to lift it out.

Of course, for this era, this kind of small black room is much more "civilized" than most punishments that make people lose their skin.

After Zhang Jingyi gave the order, he seemed to know that he couldn't find anything for the time being, so he looked calm and continued to work on other things.

…………

A quick report has been delivered to the vast exodus.

In a cowhide tent.

When someone quickly delivered the letter.

The one who knelt down and took the letter after the desk was actually a Han man.

He opened the letter, then glanced at the letter lightly, then shook his head and sighed softly.

"Brother Fan." The man who was kneeling on the other side looked up at the person, and then said with a little concern: "What, what happened in the pass?"

"The success was achieved after failure." This man, who was called Brother Fan, had fair skin and beautiful long beards. At this time, he frowned faintly: "Since the Marquis of Xinxian... I feel that I have repeatedly hit walls, and no matter what, I am not as happy as before."

Then, he looked up at the man in front of him and said, "The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty are either incompetent or greedy. Incompetent people don't have to pay attention to and care about them. For those who are greedy, we have money to buy them and provide them with convenience. Only this person named Zhang Jingyi suddenly came out and was in a pretentious way, but he was in a difficult situation with us everywhere. Alas... Could it be that this is the fate of me, should I have such a disaster?"

He said, sighing.
