At this moment.
In the Imperial Palace.
After Zhu Gaosui left the Northern Garrison Office, he went straight to the Imperial Palace.
"Your Majesty, His Highness King Zhao requests an audience."
Hearing this.
Zhu Di looked up from the pile of memorials and rubbed his eyebrows." Let him in."”
"Yes."
After Shou Quan went out to report, Zhu Gaosui walked in.
"Father." Zhu Gaosui bowed.
"How is it now?" Zhu Di waved his hand and asked directly.”
"Imperial Father, there are still commoners who went to the Education Department to cause trouble today.”
Zhu Di's face darkened." How's the situation?”
" Because the Brocade Guards were stationed in the Department of Education in advance, when the people caused trouble, they were suppressed in time. Although some people were injured, compared to yesterday, no one died. However…"
Zhu Di's expression turned cold." But what?”
"However, this time, not only do they want the tax back, but they also want to release the people detained yesterday."”
"What happened to those commoners yesterday? Did you find anything out?"
"Well, those commoners yesterday all committed suicide." Zhu Gaosui said hesitantly.”
Zhu Di's face turned cold as he glared at Zhu Gaosui.
"Suicide? Third brother, explain clearly."
Even Zhu Gaosui's heart skipped a beat from Zhu Di's cold and imposing manner." Father, please calm down. You know what kind of environment the Imperial Prison is. This morning, the Brocade Guard discovered that they had all committed suicide."”
"Your son feels that this might be a way for the commoners to resist.”
" As for the interrogation, we interrogated them for a long time and checked their identities carefully. There were no problems. They were all innocent farmers.”
After Zhu Gaosui finished speaking, Zhu Di didn't say anything, his eyes staring at Zhu Gaosui.
Soon, beads of cold sweat appeared on Zhu Gaosui's forehead.
Just as Zhu Gaosui was about to give in to Zhu Di's oppressive aura, Zhu Di finally spoke.
"What about the batch we caught today?"
Zhu Gaosui heaved a sigh of relief and quickly said,""That group of people was captured by Zhan He, and now Zhan He has taken over.”
"But when your son came out, I met Zhan Jue. It seems that he doesn't intend to interrogate me.”
At first, when Zhu Zhan Xin said that he would not interrogate them, the Brocade Guard was present. Soon, they passed the news to Zhu Gaosui.
Thus, not long after Zhu Gaosui left the North Town Administrative Office, he received this news.
Although Zhu Gaosui didn't understand Zhu Zhanshi's actions, he could give Zhu Zhanshi a hard time in front of Zhu Di.
Zhu Di frowned and didn't say anything.
After a while, Zhu Gaosui still didn't hear anything, so he mustered up his courage and looked up.
She realized that Zhu Di's face was still dark. No one knew what he was thinking.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Di suddenly asked,"Third Brother, is there anything wrong with Second Brother recently?”
Hearing this, Zhu Gaosui's eyes narrowed, but he still shook his head." I don't see anything wrong with Second Brother. Father, what's wrong?"”
Zhu Di saw the change in Zhu Gaosui's expression and didn't say anything." You can leave first."”
"Yes." Zhu Gaosui lowered his head, his expression dark.
After stepping out of the royal study, Zhu Gaosui frowned. Did his father sense something?
His father was able to ascend to the throne from a prince who had no real power and was not favored. Naturally, he had deep thoughts.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaosui quickly walked out.
That night.
North Town Fu Department.
Xia Yuanji walked back with a dispirited expression.
Seeing Xia Yuanji's expression, Zhu Zhanxin was not surprised at all.
"Lord Xia, how did the interrogation go?" he asked with a smile.”
Xia Yuanji shook his head and smiled bitterly.""Your Highness is right. We can't get anything out of him.”
At this point, Xia Yuanji couldn't help but admire Zhu Zhanshi, but at the same time, he felt a little ashamed.
The Fifth Imperial Sun was young, but he was so intelligent. He had seen in advance that the interrogation would not yield any results, and he had foresight.
On the other hand, he was so much older than the Fifth Imperial Sun, but he did not see things as clearly as the Fifth Imperial Sun!
"Lord Xia, you don't have to worry. Since the person behind this sent them to cause trouble in the Department of Discipline and isn't even afraid of the Brocade Guard, they must have made thorough preparations. It's normal that they can't be interrogated.”
Zhu Zhanmo consoled Xia Yuanji to prevent him from being too depressed.
Xia Yuanji sighed deeply." Those people won't say anything. They only clamored for the tax money to be returned.”
"The Embroidered Uniform Guards have also investigated these people, but their identities are very clean.”
"Perhaps they really are farmers.”
Zhu Zhan Xin smiled slightly." Lord Xia, I'm afraid that even you don't dare to believe this guess.”
There were too many flaws. It was indeed a little far-fetched to say that these troublemakers were farmers.
Although Xia Yuanji's brain couldn't work properly most of the time, he wasn't a stupid person.
In ancient feudal dynasties, stupid people could not be officials.
In the Imperial Court, people ate people without spitting out their bones. Those who were stupid would have long been eaten alive.
Therefore, Xia Yuanji himself did not dare to believe this guess.
However, there were no clues at all, so Xia Yuanji could only guess in this direction.
"The fact that they could cause trouble in public and even sent these people over after we started investigating shows that we can't find any problems on the surface.”
"Otherwise, the person behind the scenes wouldn't dare to let them cause trouble.”
"If he's not careful, we might find something against him and drag him out.”
"Instead of doing this, it's better not to send people over to cause trouble. Even if they are suspected because of this, it's better than being caught with evidence.”
That was why Zhu Zhan Xin was certain that the interrogation would not yield any results.
Moreover, Zhu Gaosui had said that the last batch of people who caused trouble had already committed suicide.
He did not believe that there was nothing fishy about it.
"Then, Your Highness, what should we do now? We can't just do nothing.”
Zhu Zhan Xin smiled." Lord Xia, wait a little longer. There must be another big dish to be served today.”
"Why don't you sit down and drink some tea first and have a good rest?”
Xia Yuanji smiled bitterly and waved his hand." I don't have the face to talk about my hard work. I didn't find anything.”
"From the looks of it, Your Highness is already confident?”
Zhu Zhan took a sip of tea and put down the teacup. He smiled slightly." I have some ideas, but I still have to wait. The time is not right yet."”
"As long as it has been done, there will definitely be traces.”
Xia Yuanji had wanted to say this, but they only had three days, so they couldn't afford to waste time. However, when he saw Zhu Zhanxin's relaxed and confident expression, he swallowed his words.
Not long after.
A person dressed like a commoner suddenly walked in and actually walked past Xia Yuanji, directly bowing deeply to Zhu Zhanshi.
