Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

"What, capital offense?!"

When the eunuch who looked forward to Wang Dehua heard this, his face immediately changed in shock, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually wanted the prince to die, and he was also the chief of the celebrant Wang Dehua, isn't His Royal Highness afraid that His Majesty will pursue it.

Wang Dehua has the same status as Wang Chengen, he is known as the second prince in the palace, and he is deeply trusted by His Majesty.

But His Royal Highness just moved, looking at the appearance of these brocade-clothed captains, it didn't look like they were joking.

"Get out of the way."

Sun Hao directly pushed the eunuch away and walked directly into the courtyard, and as soon as they walked into the courtyard, they heard bursts of women's screams coming from a room.

"What's going on?"

Sun Hao turned around and asked the eunuch.

"I don't know, I still have something to do, so I'll go first."

When the eunuch heard this, he immediately shook his head violently, turned around and ran away, all the way in the direction of Qianqing Palace.

He plans to go to His Majesty the Emperor to complain, as long as His Majesty speaks, he will be able to save Wang Dehua's life, and when the time comes, he will spend a lot of money to climb his thighs, so that it will not be in vain, and he still relies on Wang Dehua to mix in the palace, how can he let Wang Dehua die like this.

Seeing that the eunuch ran away, Sun Hao didn't chase after him, he came directly to the door of the room and kicked the door open.

As soon as he saw the scene inside, Sun Hao immediately became angry.

I saw that Wang Dehua was holding a whip and slammed it towards a palace maid who was tied to a chair, and the palace maid's clothes were torn, covered in blood, and screamed again and again.

"Brute!"

Sun Hao roared angrily, rushed in and kicked Wang Dehua to the ground with his foot.

"Who are you, do you know who our family is!"

Wang Dehua fell into a frenzy just now, and he didn't pay attention to this kick at all, and the whole person was kicked out, and his body hurt greatly, so he reacted and yelled sharply.

"Don't you want to live, come on, drag him out of our house, and kill him!!"

Wang Dehua shouted frantically outside as if he was crazy.

Bang Bang ...!!

Sun Hao had a gloomy face, walked up, shot left and right at Wang Dehua's face, and threw out more than a dozen slaps.

This dead eunuch actually did such an ugly thing in the house, and dared to abuse the palace maid in the palace, and then look at the miserable appearance of this palace maid, he was furious in his heart, he was raised by his sister since he was a child, and the person he looked down on the most in his life was the person who beat women.

Wang Dehua's head was dizzy from these dozen slaps, and he lay on the ground for a while, at a loss.

"Are you alright?"

Sun Hao hurriedly helped the palace maid untie her, then turned around and said, "Carry her out."

Seeing that this palace maid was dying and in pain, he was also very angry.

"By order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Sun Hao didn't care whether Wang Dehua was awake or not, so he read directly: "The eunuch Wang Dehua, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, colluded with the eunuch of Shangshan, and the Guanglu Temple embezzled the public funds of the imperial diet in the palace, and was arrested and the supervisor of Shangshan was whipped to death!" "

Take it away!"

Sun Hao waved his hand, and several Jinyi lieutenants behind him directly stepped forward and pressed Wang Dehua and ran in the direction of Shangshan Supervisor.

Wang Dehua was slapped more than a dozen times vigorously, and his brain was still confused, but as soon as he heard this, he immediately sobered up.

"You are presumptuous, our family is the chief of the ceremonial supervisor, and you are deeply trusted by Your Majesty, you dare to arrest our family!!"

"Quickly release our family, or I will wait for me to meet Your Majesty and sue you, so that you will not die well!!"

Along the way, Wang Dehua's screaming and screaming voice spread all around, making the palace people on the road extremely surprised, and the high-ranking Wang Dehua was actually escorted away.

Needless to say, it must have offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, otherwise who would dare to be so bold and dare to move His Majesty's people.

Shang Shan Jian Jian

At this moment, this place is already full of kneeling people, and fifty or sixty eunuchs in Shangshan Prison are kneeling on the ground neatly, all looking at the palm print Jiuxi who was tied to the ground and struggling frantically in horror.

"Qiu Zhizhong, make things clear."

Zhu Cihong sat under the eaves and looked coldly at the group of eunuchs below, the words still had to be clear, otherwise they would kill people for no reason and disobey the public.

Qiu Zhizhong nodded, and in front of everyone, he explained everything in detail.

As soon as these words came out, the eunuchs who were kneeling on the scene were all surprised to look at the palm print Jiuxi who was tied to the ground and struggling, they were on an errand in Shangshan Prison, and they would indeed receive a little benefit from time to time, and they all knew the way Shangshan Supervisor fished oil and water, but they didn't expect it to be so exaggerated, an egg, dare to report twenty taels, those people all felt that this offer was indeed too ruthless, it seemed that the big head was taken by the people above, and they all shared a little soup to drink.

Only one person was pale and trembling with fright, Zhu Cihong looked at Qiu Zhizhong when he saw this, and then pointed at the person.

"You come out!"

Qiu Zhi understood the gods, walked into the crowd, and pointed to a eunuch to drink.

The eunuch was startled by this moment, trembling and kneeling out, crawling to the front of the crowd, kneeling, his forehead pressed tightly to the ground, not daring to raise his head.

"What do you do as the superintendent?"

Zhu Cihong asked softly.

"Back to Your Highness, the slave Li Qing is serving as the admiral eunuch in Shangshan."

Li Qing trembled.

"Take out the account book, and then go to testify against the people of Guanglu Temple, and the palace will spare your life."

Zhu Cihong didn't ask if the eunuch was an accomplice, because he was sure that he was, and he didn't need to ask, otherwise Jiuxi would not have been able to form this corruption chain in such a short period of time when he became the palm seal.

And didn't Jiuxi say it, before he took office, it was already like this, he was just the palm print of the Shang Shan Supervisor, just had a share of the money, this Guanglu Temple and the Shang Shan Supervisor embezzled public funds, as if it was the default oil and water, no matter who was the palm print eunuch, it was all in operation.

"Back to Your Highness, the slave doesn't know what His Highness is talking about, the slave doesn't know anything about this matter, although sometimes the slave and the maid do have benefits to take, but I don't know what is going on at all, please Your Highness Mingjian."

Li Qing's face was pressed against the ground, and he didn't admit it, otherwise he would not want to live if the interests of so many people were moved, maybe it would be even worse, and life would be worse than death.

"Hey..."

Zhu Cihong sighed, and said a little helplessly: "You don't seem to be able to figure out a point, why if you confess to others, you will definitely acquiesce that you will be sought revenge, don't you think of a point, if you confess to others, will you still live in the hands of this palace?"

"When the time comes, all the people you confess are dead, what are you afraid of?"

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, he simply closed his eyes and said nothing, life and death were in the hands of the eunuch himself.

He also had to do this, Guanglu Temple is different from the group of house slaves in the palace, Guanglu Temple Qing is a member of the third grade, to kill him, the evidence must be sufficient.

These domestic slaves, he can kill them if he wants, as long as there is a reason, but the ministers of the court are different, and there must be ironclad evidence.

Li Qing's eyes stared at the ground, showing a hint of struggle, of course he understood the words of His Royal Highness the Prince, but he was still afraid, he had been in the palace for seven or eight years, and many people in the palace had committed crimes, and many people were killed, but when a person died, there were still connections, especially the major events involving the two yamen inside and outside the palace.

Unless His Royal Highness cuts the grass and eradicates the roots, no one remains, but even so, it will be difficult for him to mix in the palace in the future, and everyone knows that he is a person who betrays others.

"Your Highness, Wang Dehua has already brought it."

At this moment, Sun Hao escorted a middle-aged eunuch into the gate of Shangshan Prison, and several people behind him carried a wounded palace maid.

Sun Hao threw Wang Dehua on the ground, came to Zhu Cihong, and whispered about Wang Dehua's abuse and beating of the palace maid.

Zhu Cihong frowned and looked at Wang Dehua, who was thrown on the ground.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know what our family has done, you want to escort our family over?"

Wang Dehua slowly got up from the ground, with a puzzled expression, but the look of shock and resentment in his eyes couldn't escape Zhu Cihong's eyes.

"Our family is the chief of the celebrant and the chief bingbi, the person who serves around Your Majesty, Your Highness does this, but after Your Majesty?"

Wang Dehua continued to say neither humbly nor arrogantly, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came in and was known for his brutality in prison, he was not very afraid, because he was a person close to His Majesty, and without His Majesty's consent, no one could punish him, even His Royal Highness the Prince.

Moreover, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of the country, he has no right to manage the celebrant eunuch, he has the temperament to ask the prince, if the prince insists on going his own way, he can go to the palace to complain!

"You're asking Hongu in a questioning tone?"

Zhu Cihong really didn't have a good impression of these eunuchs at the end of the Ming Dynasty, betraying the lord to seek glory, deceiving the superiors and subordinates, causing trouble in the inner court, and acting as a blessing, after a long time, it seems that they have forgotten who is their master, who is the heaven of the Forbidden City!
