The prisoner effect means that two people who conspire to commit a crime are imprisoned and cannot communicate with each other.

If neither person reports on the other, each person will go to jail for one year because the evidence is uncertain; if one person reports and the other remains silent, the person who reported the information will be released immediately for meritorious service, and the person who kept silent will be imprisoned for ten years for not cooperating;

If they expose each other, both will be sentenced to eight years in prison because the evidence is solid. Since the prisoners cannot trust each other, they tend to expose each other rather than remain silent together.

Of course Zhu Jianshen had never heard of this theory, but it was a script he wrote.

Huaien and Liang Fang, in terms of the palace alone, were the two closest eunuchs to him, the ancestors of the eunuchs in the palace, and the powerful people in the inner court. Zhu Jianshen's relationship with them was that of master and servant, but to be more precise, the relationship between them was that of master and servant.

It is said that Huaien and Liang Fang should be in charge of his affairs inside and outside the palace, while he controls their life and death.

He was suspicious of Wynn and couldn't make up his mind due to various scruples. If anyone could help him, it would undoubtedly be Liang Fang.

If Hua En has a secret, Liang Fang may not know the details, but it would be ridiculous to say that he knows nothing about it.

Liang Fang is naturally greedy for life and afraid of death.

How can a person who is greedy for power, gold and silver be a hard-nosed person?

If he uses his name as a threat, he will inevitably reveal some secrets that he doesn't know but wants to know.

Before recruiting Liang Fang, Zhu Jianshen also thought about what if Liang Fang really knew nothing? Maybe Huai En was really dedicated to the Lord and never did anything disobedient?

Then just pretend that nothing happened.

The emperor needs a trusted person and a capable person by his side. Huaien and Liang Fang are just the right size.

But I never expected that a third situation would occur.

"Your Majesty! Old slave...Old slave..." Liang Fang, who had not spoken a word or shed tears, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Old slave...is guilty and I dare not ask Your Majesty for forgiveness.

I just ask that Your Majesty, for the sake of my many years of service, give me a whole body."

Eunuchs are missing a piece of their body. If there is anything more important to them in this world than their lives, it is not the gold and silver treasures, but the piece of flesh they cut off. Without this piece of meat, they would not be able to follow the rules of the world.

They cannot enter the ancestral graves, and according to the rules of the underworld, they are not allowed to be reincarnated.

Zhu Jianshen had also heard about this. What he didn't expect was that Liang Fang actually confessed directly and didn't ask for a way out. What did he mean in her words, was she guilty of some heinous crime?

Liang Fang?

That Liang Fang who has no knowledge and skills and only knows how to flatter and obey her?

What great crime will he commit?

Does he have this ability?

Does he have the guts?

Could it be that he simply didn't hear what he said?

Zhu Jianshen had to remind him kindly and tactfully again: "Wynn and yourself, it seems you don't want your own head?"

He already understood what he said, thinking that no matter how stupid Liang Fang was, he would have heard that he wanted him to take the initiative to expose the black material against Wynn.

But Liang Fang seemed to have collapsed. She was still choking just now, but gradually she began to sob, and her posture seemed to be developing towards howling.

Did he really do something evil?

Zhu Jianshen's heart sank: "Okay, Liang Fang, if we have a master-servant relationship, I will grant your request and leave you with a complete corpse."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"That's enough!" Zhu Jianshen slapped the table: "Tell me, what kind of evil things have you done that I don't know about?"

"Your Majesty, old slave..."

After receiving Zhu Jianshen's promise, Liang Fang seemed to have simply broken the jar and started talking like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

From the few taels of silver that he greeded for when he entered the palace before becoming powerful, to the filial piety money from the young eunuchs after he became powerful.

He colluded with officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs to embezzle government tax and money expenditures, and then colluded with the Ministry of Personnel to buy and sell officials...

"This old slave is blind and has a bad heart. He took advantage of Your Majesty's love and took advantage of millions of taels of silver. His crime is unforgivable! He deserves death!"

Oh~~~

Zhu Jianshen gradually understood.

People are old and horses are old and slippery, and Liang Fang is really a slippery person.

After watching Wan An reveal all his wealth, he defrauded his life and gave him the position of Third Duke, he thought of following the same example and doing something like this.

To be honest, although he is tired and lazy in politics, he has good eyesight and understands in his heart. He probably knows who is who in the court and in the inner court.

In his heart, being greedy for money and lust has never been a serious sin.

He had heard Qianli saying that being an official was only for money, and he could understand that it would be okay to be greedy for money and take money that you shouldn't take when you are an official. Otherwise, based on the salary of the court alone, officials would not even be able to support their families.

question.

This is especially true for the slaves in the palace. If they are not greedy and get some, what fun will they have in this life? They can't even touch women.

So he knows that Wan An is greedy for money, and he also knows that Liang Fang is greedy for money.

When Zhu Jianshen heard the amount of one million taels of silver, he even felt that it was a bit small.

"Liang Fang."

"His Majesty..."

"You are so smart."

"Your Majesty? Old slave, old slave..."

"You can exchange money for your life. When I die one day, you can exchange your life for money. In the end, you will get both money and your life. You still say you are not smart?"

"I don't dare, Your Majesty, I don't dare, I don't dare!" Liang Fang kept kowtowing like a chicken rushing to break the rice. Zhu Jian turned a blind eye and thought for a moment, then continued quietly: "Liang Fang, do you really think you are related to Huai?"

Don’t I know anything about what En has done?”

"..."

"Okay, I have been a master and servant for many years. I have given you the grace of being a corpse, so I will give you another grace. Let me remind you." Zhu Jianshen squinted his eyes and looked at Liang Fang coldly: "Prince's biological mother, how can you

Did you remember anything?"

The prince's biological mother was also the biggest doubt in Zhu Jianshen's heart.

It is absolutely impossible for Zhang Min alone to save the life of the prince and raise him as an adult. Someone else must be helping him. Who is the person who helped him is unknown, and it is probably impossible to find out after Zhang Min's death.

The prince survived, but where was the prince’s biological mother, Ji?

The palace register stated that he died of an emergency a year ago, but Zhu Jianshen always felt something was wrong, just a vague feeling that maybe this woman was not dead yet.

He tested Wynn, and Wynn's answers were flawless, but his expression and eyes always made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty!" Liang Fang did not kowtow. Zhu Jianshen's five-word prompt made him feel like he was struck by lightning: "You...all know..."
