As the most favored eunuch of the emperor, Liang Fang was the second most powerful eunuch in charge of rituals. It was not unimaginable that he could open joints and send people in and out of the palace. The only thing that made Zhu Jianshen a little disdainful was that he did such taboo things.

It turned out that all he wanted was money, and it was only a mere ten taels.

He could forgive Liang Fang for being greedy for money, and his obsession with money was confusing. Finally, Liang Fang's loyalty to him could still be seen. What he couldn't accept was the inaction of Jin Yiwei and the Second East and West Factory. The West Factory was only established for a short time.

, it is excusable, where is the Jinyiwei? Where is the Dongchang? One was started in the Hongwu period, and the other was built in the Yongle period. They are both old brands for nearly a hundred years. They are the most loyal and capable eagle dogs of emperors in the past.

Liang Fang did this and did not report it to herself. Was it because they didn't know it, or did they know it but didn't report it?

If they don’t know, then they are incompetent and should be punished!

If they knew it but didn't report it...then they should die!

The distance from Dongzhimen to Dongbianmen is not very close, but the two bearers moved extremely fast. Zhu Jianshen had just asked Liang Fang and learned that these two men were mute, so no wonder they remained silent.

There were about two-quarters of an hour before we reached Dongbianmen. This was also the deadline Zhu Jianshen left for Jin Yiwei and Dongchang.

Two quarters of an hour passed in an instant, and the sedan stopped. Liang Fang opened the curtain of the sedan and said at the same time: "Your Majesty, the people from Dongchang have arrived."

"Oh?" Zhu Jianshen raised his eyes and looked. Not far ahead, a carriage stopped by the city gate. There were two figures, one tall and one short, one in front and one behind.

Naturally, he didn't recognize Su Hexing and Zhu Jianshen who were pushing the wheelchair in the back, but it was enough that he knew Li Xuan who was in the wheelchair in front.

"It seems that you are lame in your legs, but you are not blind in your eyes or deaf in your ears."

"A slave shall be punished by death." Li Xuan knelt on the ground with the support of Su Hexing.

Zhu Jianshen didn't let him get up, he just snorted coldly: "Go ahead."

What did he say? Zhu Jianshen didn't say it clearly, but Li Xuan naturally knew it and had been prepared on the way here.

Taking out a booklet from his arms and raising his hands above his head, Li Xuan said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is not known whether Eunuch Liang was aware of the matter of collecting money from people and sending people out of the palace. I don't know. But Eunuch Xu knew it when he was supervising the East Factory.

The booklet in the slave’s hand was also prepared by Eunuch Xu at that time.”

This is naturally a lie. The booklet was actually prepared by Shang Ming earlier, but Li Xuan erased all the original records and prepared a new one. This is why he came so late.

Zhu Jianshen picked up the book in Li Xuan's hand and looked through it. It contained the names and whereabouts of all the people who left the palace through Liang Fang. It is worth mentioning that some of the names recorded had the word "annihilation" at the end.

Li Xuan added: "What Eunuch Xu means is that Eunuch Liang uses this channel to make money. Although it breaks the rules, it is a good thing in the final analysis. Eunuch Liang gets rich, and those old ladies in the palace who want to go but can't find their way also have

There is a way out. If they are stopped by force, these people will stay in the palace with resentment in their hearts and will not do their job wholeheartedly. I am afraid that they will have second thoughts about His Majesty's safety.

The slave and Eunuch Xu share the same idea, so Dongchang also acquiesced to Eunuch Liang's deal. But knowing and not reporting it is indeed against the duty of a slave. I dare not ask for your majesty's forgiveness, and I also ask your majesty to convict you."

Zhu Jianshen was noncommittal and asked: "There are some names in this book with the word 'annihilation' behind them. What does that mean?"

"Reply to Your Majesty." Li Xuan replied: "Some slaves hold important positions in the palace, or know the secrets of the nobles in the palace, and some have slanderous remarks about Your Majesty after leaving the palace. All these slaves are sent to you.

The person was killed and silenced."

"It's quite sincere, but it's still hidden. I won't pursue it with you. Get up." Zhu Jianshen closed the book, rolled it up, and knocked three times on Li Xuan's head. He turned around and glared at Liang Fang.

One glance.

Over there, Su Hexing stood up from the ground and helped Li Xuan back into the wheelchair.

Zhu Jianshen said again: "Since your Dongchang knows about Liang Fang's business, do you think Jin Yiwei knows about it?"

Li Xuan shook his head: "I don't know this, but I think I should know it because of the power of the Jin Yiwei. Maybe Commander Wan is also on the way now, but I'm just one step ahead..."

"He? Humph, how can he be so smart?" Zhu Jianshen sneered and asked: "Then tell me how you knew that I was leaving the palace tonight, and why you came to see me."

Li Xuan replied: "When I received the news that Eunuch Liang was personally sending someone out of the palace tonight, I guessed that it must be His Majesty's holy chariot. I don't know where Your Majesty is going, but as His Majesty's eagle dog, I have come to protect him."

Zhu Jianshen raised his eyebrows: "Just you two?"

"Secretly, there are also the heads of the three divisions of the East Factory and twenty-seven experts from each division."

"That's right, even if you pass the test." Zhu Jianshen thought to himself, and finally there was a smile on his face: "Is that carriage prepared for me?"

"For His Majesty's transportation."

"I'm interested." Zhu Jianshen walked towards the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked inside. The soft table was fully stocked with hot wine and side dishes, and he couldn't help but feel even more satisfied.

Before entering the carriage, Zhu Jianshen said again: "You don't have to follow because your legs and feet are inconvenient. Go to Wantong's house for me and give him twenty slaps."

"Yes." Li Xuan responded.

Liang Fang drove out of the city gate. Li Xuan looked at it for a long time, raised his hand to wipe the fine beads of sweat on his head, and sighed: "I finally passed the test."

This means that I have come. If I had not come, I would have lost my head tomorrow. Thinking about the errands for a while, I couldn't help but feel jealous of Wantong. If I didn't come, it would be my fault for losing my head, but if Wantong didn't come, he would just hit me.

He has twenty boards.

"Let's go." Li Xuan waved his hand: "Go to Wantong's house."

Su Hexing hesitated for a moment: "It's better to take a humble position, otherwise Wan Tong will definitely resent the governor."

"I just want him to hate me." Li Xuan smiled bitterly: "Hit him. It's time for His Majesty to come back tomorrow and issue an order. Why do we have to let our family go immediately? Firstly, it is to give Wantong a warning, and secondly, it is also a provocation.

The relationship between Jinyiwei and Dongchang. If our family doesn’t go, Wantong can only endure his anger, but if I go there in person, Wantong will have to charge this account to our family."

Li Xuan turned back to look at Su Hexing: "At this moment, take Wantong out of the bed and give him a beating. Just watch. His violent temper may even break out with our family on the spot, and he may even have to move."

Take action."

Su Hexing tightened the sword on his waist.

"It doesn't have to be like this." Li Xuan said with a relaxed smile: "Just let him make trouble. If the factory guards have a harmonious relationship, I'm afraid His Majesty will fall out."
