Liu Jin wanted to reach out and bite him twice, but the man in black held him down like iron pliers and couldn't move. He was over sixty years old and had always been pampered, so he couldn't bear this.

He had a livid face and shouted: "Fuck you! I have made great contributions to the country and done so many things for the emperor, but it is too late for the emperor to reward me! If you dare to falsely pass on the imperial edict, you will be punished by death! If you dare to touch you today,

Grandpa, if you drop a hair on your head, the emperor will punish all nine of your clans!"

Zhang Yong, however, just snorted lightly and ignored him. Instead, he assigned people to ask someone to take people to the side courtyard and take down the nursing home. Someone to take people to the back room to hold down the servants, and someone to go to the warehouse to check carefully.

Taking stock, it looked like a house raid.

Liu Jin's scolding voice gradually weakened as groups of men in black appeared.

Finally, he looked at Zhang Yong with a horrified face, his nose twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you... How dare you?!"

The other people in the yard had been taken away and imprisoned. Zhang Yong clapped his hands, and the man in black who was escorting Liu Jin picked him up and took him into the flower hall where guests were entertained.

The lights in the hall were bright, and Liu Jin squinted his eyes unaccustomedly. When someone was placed on a chair, and his body was tied with ropes, Liu Jin squinted and opened his eyes.

Besides Zhang Yong, there was another person in front of him, but it was Shen Rui.

The flesh on Liu Jin's face was twisted and he clenched his back molars. He originally thought that Zhang Yong attacked his mansion at night and wanted to kill him, but if Shen Rui was also there...

No matter how bold Shen Rui was, he would not dare to do this, and there was no need to show his face.

Could it be...that he is really the emperor?!

Huge resentment suddenly arose in his heart. Is the emperor going to kill the donkey?! He has done so many things, so many things!!!

"I...I want to see the emperor! I want to see the emperor!" Liu Jin roared with all his strength, his face turned red and his neck veins popped out, "I have done so many things for the emperor..."

"Liu Jin listens to the order." Zhang Yong interrupted him and said coldly: "The emperor asked Liu Jin, where did the statement in the military newspaper go?"

Liu Jin had already known about this problem and had already dealt with it. He kept insisting that there was no statement in the military report. At this time, Zhang Yong, who had sent the military report in front of him, also refused to admit the lie to his face.

He snorted coldly and asked instead: "Zhang Yong, do you dare to say that the slogan is not nonsense?"

Zhang Yong, however, was not fooled and did not reply to him. Instead, he continued: "For so many years, all the reports you brought back from the Supervisor of Ceremonies are all nonsense? Sometimes the memorial has not yet entered the palace, but the decree has been issued and spread everywhere.

What’s the point again?”

Liu Jin frowned and said: "I am working hard to share the emperor's worries! I don't advocate losing rice as a penalty. Where do the border soldiers get rations? Can you, Zhang Yande, win the war by relying on hungry soldiers? If I don't mention the acreage of my husband's land, what will happen to the treasury?

Abundant…”

Zhang Yong rolled his eyes and said mockingly: "You are dedicated to the imperial court! Didn't you know that during the Beijing inspection period, when local officials came to Beijing to report on their duties, the 'visit money' paid was the money that your Eunuch Liu collected for the national treasury?

Where did it go into the account book again?"

Liu Jin let out a sigh and cursed: "Don't you dare pretend to be a good person! I didn't know that you, Zhang Yande, don't accept any filial piety from you."

Zhang Yongsen said calmly: "I will not act behind the scenes and make decisions for my master. Old Liu, how did Qiu Ju die?"

Liu Jin's heart was beating like a drum. He knew very well that the emperor was angry with Qiu Houhou for amassing money. It would be bad if the emperor compared him with Qiu Houhou.

Why should Keqiu Monkey compare with him?! He is a hero! A great hero!

He was extremely unwilling and shouted: "Qiu Houhou is crazy and has violated the national law. The emperor has decreed that he should be imprisoned and he will be held accountable according to the law. Zhang Yong, how can Qiu Houhou compare with you and me?! When will Qiu Houhou be long live?"

I have been loyal to you, but how many practical things have you and I done for the emperor and the court?! Zhang Yong, it’s not like Qiu Houhou has never harmed you. He is dead. Don’t you want to fulfill your wish?!"

Zhang Yong said calmly: "Don't tie me up, Qiu Houhou has nothing to do with me. Old Liu, you don't have to use your achievements to argue. Don't you and me, the emperor's slaves, serve the master? Your Majesty."

It's not that we are intolerant. We are planning for our own future, and the emperor is not intolerant of it. He even gave us a chance to have a good future. What the emperor cannot tolerate is carrying our back, Lord."

He said the word "betray the Lord" one word at a time.

Liu Jin's expression suddenly changed and he immediately cursed: "Zhang Yong! You're so damn bully! How dare you put a shit basin like 'back master' on your grandfather's head?! For so many years, I have been loyal to you since the time of the East Palace."

Your Majesty is doing things, and you dare to slander your grandfather like this just because of your military achievements in quelling chaos. Even if I am a ghost, I will not let you go!! I want to see Long Live Lord! I want to see Long Live Lord!"

Zhang Yong watched him go crazy indifferently, tilted his head, and gestured to Shen Rui. Shen Rui nodded slightly and said seriously: "The emperor asked Liu Jin, where did the 'different-colored dragon paper' come from?!"

Liu Jinben was shouting at the top of his lungs, but Shen Rui's voice didn't seem loud, but it reached his ears clearly.

He was already highly nervous and emotional at this time, and when he suddenly heard such confidential matters being asked, he felt a bang in his head, and he could no longer shout a single sound from his mouth.

However, it was Lao Jianghu after all. He changed his mind and suspected that Shen Rui had deceived him. He sneered and said: "Prince Ning realizes that Si Xiang is hopeful, just to build momentum for his son. The ignorant people in the market have been deceived into believing the rumors. They know

Very strange colored dragon paper!"

What Liu Jin said is also the view of most courtiers at present.

After King Ning spent money to build the Qianqing Palace and took the initiative to support the vassal regulations, the emperor once praised King Ning highly. Therefore, there has been a saying in Beijing that the emperor issued an order to recruit Prince Ning's youngest son to be the chief minister of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

There was a rumor in the market that it was a "dragon note with different colors, plus gold as a reward".

The heterochromatic dragon paper was only used when issuing edicts to supervise the country, so this matter was almost interpreted among the people as the emperor was adopting Prince Ning's youngest son.

The emperor in the palace laughed and sneered. The central cabinet said it was nonsense and there was no such purpose.

However, it is still said by the common people that he has a nose and eyes.

King Ning spent a lot of money in the capital to bribe officials, but no one complained about it. They all thought it was just another way for King Ning to build momentum.

The heterochromatic dragon paper is an official document paper exclusively used by the imperial government. It is kept by a dedicated person and the quantity must be approved for each piece. Normally, it will not be leaked out.

Moreover, even if it leaks out, there is no ink pen or jade seal, it is just ordinary paper.

Therefore, under Zhang Yong's ruthless eyes, Liu Jin still had a straight face and said angrily: "So what if there is a strange-colored dragon paper? If the Long Live Lord doesn't recognize it, then it's just a piece of waste paper. Everything must be obeyed by the Long Live Lord."

Yes, you scoundrels are making trouble in front of Long Live Lord and insisting on giving me a shit basin. You, Grandpa Liu, are not someone you can slander if you want! Let’s meet in front of Long Live Lord! I don’t believe it, but Long Live Lord will believe it.

You are talking nonsense!”

Shen Rui didn't watch his acting, and interrupted him coldly: "One of us is in Shanshan and the other is in Shandong. How can we know about the strange-colored dragon paper? Eunuch Liu doesn't have to be busy biting us. Besides, the emperor values ​​meritorious ministers.

I am determined not to believe slanderous words. If it is slander, you should ask Eunuch Liu, your niece and son-in-law, why Shao Jinfu wants to slander you."

When Shao Jinfu said these three words, Liu Jin was obviously choked up, and the expression on his face became ferocious.

"It's true that a biting dog never barks." He almost squeezed out these words through his teeth.

Prince Ning spent a lot of money one after another just to win the title of Si Xiang. How could he be willing to accept it without any guarantee? Now he has brought thirty thousand taels of silver to beg Liu Jin. What he said is that he wants to be practical.

Liu Jin really didn't feel that he was "betraying his master" in this matter. As he said, he believed from the bottom of his heart that as long as the emperor and the cabinet denied it, the heterochromatic dragon paper would be a piece of waste paper.

If you can exchange a piece of waste paper for 30,000 taels of silver, why not exchange it?!

Of course, there is no intention of selling a good son to Prince Ning. The emperor has no children. What if, well, what if there is an eventuality and Prince Ning's lineage gets the position?

With this favor, can Liu Qiansui continue to be a thousand years old?

Liu Jin also knew that this matter must be kept extremely secret and should not be known to outsiders. It was easy to get the paper back, and there was no way to cover it quietly, but it was impossible to write it with a vermilion pen, which was barely neat with his hand.

This was different from a memorial. Even Zhang Cai and other confidants could not believe it.

Who else could I use?

My nephew talks about the second Han Dynasty and his handwriting is even more unreasonable.

Then there is only his niece-in-law, Shao Jinfu, who once served as the leader of Shaanxi Province.

Although Shao Jinfu was stubborn and refused to become an official according to Liu Jin's arrangement, Liu Jin only thought it was a rotten scholar's behavior to read it out for himself. Because when it comes to honesty, there is really no one more honest than Shao Jinfu. No matter how much he is scolded, he is not afraid of it.

He suffered quietly and never even vented his anger on his servants.

Liu Jin never thought that one day he would fall into the hands of an honest man.

"He...he...has a grudge against me for failing this time and slandered me..." Liu Jin said quickly.

These words are extremely weak.

Who doesn't know that Liu Jin treats her niece like her own daughter and has many plans for her niece's son-in-law.

"They are not getting along as husband and wife..." Liu Jin also tried to defend.

But Shen Rui only said: "Someone has followed Mr. Shao Jin to the Liu Mansion to talk about the study rooms in several residences in the manor."

Liu Jin's face was extremely ugly. He had left Shao Jinfu in the secret room of the study to write some important things...

His teeth chattered slightly unconsciously, and his cheeks twitched.

However...

The emperor has already taken so many chances against him, why did he still ask Zhang Yong and Shen Rui to question him?

The Emperor is still hesitant! The Emperor is still thinking of love!

Some hope suddenly rose in his heart. The emperor asked someone to ask him, didn't he just want to hear what he had to say?

He has been with the emperor for so many years, and he has done so many things for the emperor!

Liu Jin's eyes sparkled and he shouted eagerly: "I want to see Lord Long Live! I have the opportunity to tell Lord Long Live the inside story!"

He saw that Zhang Yong and Shen Rui were indifferent, knowing in his heart that these two people wished for his death and would not let him see the emperor easily.

But since the emperor asked them to ask questions, there must be someone watching them secretly.

Even if he couldn't see the emperor, his words had to be heard by the emperor, so he didn't care much and shouted: "The Qing Palace is empty. I also want to share the worries of Long Live Lord, so I always choose one or two smart children in the clan...

"

"There are so many vassals, why did you choose only the Ning vassal?" Zhang Yong asked.

"Prince Ning has a reputation as a virtuous man, and he obeys all the government's decrees. I have also inquired that Prince Ning's youngest son is extremely smart and is just the right age..." Liu Jin said hurriedly.
To be continued...
