Zhu Ying has no evidence, but he doesn't need evidence.

But it’s just not possible to make simple guesses. If you wrongly accuse good people, there will be problems.

But among the latest clues, he found a piece of information.

That is, yesterday, Jin Shigui, the prefect of Guangzhou government, visited Guan Xianghai, the chief envoy of the Guangdong Chengxuan Envoy Department.

What seemed like a normal visit made Zhu Ying know that Jin Shigui was following Guan Xianghai.

Guan Xianghai is a good official.

At least that's what the dossier says.

He has been in this position for six years.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang's anti-corruption campaign failed to sweep it away. It was really a breath of fresh air.

And this person is capable. Currently, the entire Guangdong region is extremely stable in terms of economic development and people's livelihood.

Even before Zhu Ying entered the palace to enthrone his grandson, Guangdong rarely caused any major problems to the court.

These merits are still there.

But Zhu Ying started out in business and was very aware of the tricks here.

Even if there are only a few superficial clues, you can know the general direction.

Whether it is or is not, you will actually know when you meet.

Guangdong Chengxuan Government Envoy Si Yamen.

"Stop, this is the Yamen of the Administrative Envoy, you all have your pass."

The officer in front of the Yamen was quite polite in his words. After all, Zhu Ying and his entourage came to see that they were either rich or noble.

In this world, those who can be good at being a disciple basically have a strong eye and focus on being flexible. There is basically no such thing as a dog looking down on others, and no one likes to get into trouble for nothing.

Shi Di stepped forward and took out his badge and handed it over: "Shi Di, the royal guard of the capital, Qianhu, went to the Yamen to find the chief envoy Guan Xianghai. He has important matters to investigate and handle. Please lead the way as soon as possible."

The doorman took the badge and checked it, and then he quickly bowed and said, "I don't know if Master Qianhu is here, so I will lead all of you there."

No one can stop Jin Yiwei.

To the entire bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty, it was like a precious sword.

The gatekeeper was very wise and did not ask about the identities of the two young men.

Those who can be followed by Jin Yiwei are all members of the royal family at first, so there is no way he can provoke someone from such a small family.

Now he bowed down to lead the way, not even daring to pass through.

I have to admit that this place, the Provincial Envoy's Office, covers an area of ​​not just hundreds of acres, but dozens of acres. It's easy to get lost if you're not careful.

After passing through several paths, we soon arrived in front of the study.

It was working time, so Guan Xianghai was naturally working in the study.

The door was open, and there were guards outside. But looking at the battle, they didn't dare to ask, so they quickly went in and reported to Guan Xianghai.

Upon hearing this, Guan Xianghai walked out immediately, just as Zhu Ying and others arrived at the door.

"Your Majesty, Guan Xianghai, is here to pay homage to His Highness Taisun. I didn't know that His Highness Taisun came in person, but I didn't expect to receive you from afar. Please forgive me!"

As a feudal official, Guan Xianghai certainly knew Zhu Ying.

After all, I have to return to the capital every year to report on my work, so there are plenty of opportunities to interact with him.

As Guan Xianghai knelt down, all the surrounding servants immediately knelt down on the ground: "Greetings to His Highness the Grand Sun!"

"No gift."

"Thank you, Your Highness Taisun."

The doorman who had led the way before did not dare to breathe. Although he had already made some guesses in his mind, he was still extremely shocked after being confirmed.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

This is His Majesty the Grand Sun of today.

"Come in and chat."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zhu Ying glanced at Guan Xianghai briefly. His face was only respectful, but less surprised and nervous.

This shows that Guan Xianghai is already aware of his arrival and has taken care of his tail.

"Yunxi, come too." Zhu Ying greeted.

"Okay, brother." Zhu Yunxi happily followed in.

After entering the room, Zhu Ying sat at the main seat and then asked the two of them to sit down.

Then he looked at Guan Xianghai and went straight to the point: "I came from Hong Kong Island. You know about the dental clinic in Hong Kong."

Guan Xianghai's heart trembled. Even though he had been mentally prepared, Taisun did not expect to ask directly.

If you say you don't know, that's a big problem.

Immediately, he knelt down and told: "Yesterday, the prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture, Jin Shigui, came and reported the matter of the Hong Kong Island Tooth Shop to me. I am guilty of negligence and please punish me."

Ginger is still spicy. Being able to sit on Diaoyutai for so many years, Guan Xianghai is naturally not a vegetarian.

Zhu Ying smiled and said, "You move very quickly. You have even arranged the charges for yourself."

Small drops of sweat appeared on Guan Xianghai's forehead, and with just one sentence, he realized that his preparations were probably of no use.

Zhu Ying continued: "Actually, I'm a little curious. You are a high-ranking official of the second rank and the chief envoy of the left. You have such great power, why do you do so shabbily?"

"You live in Si Yamen, the official envoy of the Provincial Government, but you deliberately made this place so miserable. I have indeed asked someone to check it. Whether it is in your name or in the name of your family, there is very little property that can be searched.

No matter where you look, he seems to be an upright and upright official."

"At this point, why don't you act with me? It seems to me that you are planning to plead guilty directly?"

Guan Xianghai kowtowed and said, "I dare not deceive His Highness the Grand Sun."

He is a smart man and understands Zhu Ying very well.

When those words were spoken, thousands of thoughts had already gone through my mind, but in the end I remained silent, which was acquiescence.

By default, he is not a truly upright official.

Some things do not need to be explained too clearly. For smart people, a look or an action can already express their attitude.

Zhu Ying said: "Actually, I don't mind you very much about the dental clinic in Hong Kong, but you shouldn't touch my red line."

"The last time you went to the capital to report on your duties, I made it very clear to all your coastal chief envoys that things about the Kunlun slaves must not be touched."

“Moreover, Hong Kong dental shops also illegally leased land on Hong Kong Island to foreign businessmen.”

"Maybe in your opinion, those are just wastelands. I also know your thoughts. You want foreign businessmen to invest in construction and develop Hong Kong Island, and then take it back."

"Then Jin Shigui, including the Xin'an County Government, are all your pawns. As long as the construction of Hong Kong Island is almost complete, you will investigate and punish them, and then confiscate Hong Kong Island according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty."

"In this way, Hong Kong Island becomes your political achievement."

"No, it shouldn't be yours. It may be your son or your disciple. After all, it is in your hands."

Simply peeling off the cocoon, even if Guan Xianghai didn't say a few words, Zhu Ying had already deduced the general outline.

Guan Xianghai's throat moved and he no longer knew what to say.

Until now, he found that he still underestimated his grandson.

In fact, these are nothing to Zhu Ying. Compared with some big corrupt officials in later generations, the corruption methods of Ming Dynasty are obviously much lower level now.

Some of Guan Xianghai's behavior can only deceive others.

In fact, even Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Guan Xianghai was not an upright official.

But he did have the ability to make Guangdong's situation very good, and he was loyal enough to Ming Dynasty.

"I am guilty." Guan Xianghai could only spit out this word after a long while.

Zhu Ying nodded: "You are indeed guilty, and you have made a great contribution to Guangdong. I can give you a chance to make meritorious service."

"First of all, it's about the dental shop in Hong Kong. You have to deal with it. No matter who the Kunlun slaves who have been sold to the Ming Dynasty are, I must bring them back and let them go where they should go."

"You must have already made plans for the leasing matter. Just follow your own plan and it should satisfy me."

"I'll give you half a month to handle all these matters, and then you can resign from the court."

At this point, it is naturally impossible for Guan Xianghai to continue working.

No matter how capable he is, Ming Dynasty does not lack such an envoy now.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

Guan Xianghai breathed a sigh of relief. He had lost his hat, but his life was saved.

"Don't thank me in a hurry." Zhu Ying shook her head and said, "I don't know how much money you've embezzled, and I'm too lazy to check in detail."

"This time I came to Hong Kong Dental Shop to discuss the establishment of the Daming Ocean Trading Chamber of Commerce."
