Over the years, the two have cooperated with each other and investigated many major cases. It can be said that they are experienced, senior, and have very sophisticated methods.

Zhu Youxiao had trained so many people, so naturally he would not do everything himself. The reason he came to Nanjing and Yangzhou this time was nothing more than to provide support.

If there is something they can't handle, I can deal with it directly without dragging it out.

You know, a lot of things are just a bunch of arguments, with no results. If I don't come, I don't know what the people below will do.

Coming here is also a deterrent, so that if any unexpected accidents occur, they can be dealt with in time.

At least for someone like Duke Wei, he had been keeping an eye on him since he arrived in Nanjing. Although he had not been punished or the news made public, he had already been arrested.

This solves a lot of problems. Once something happens, he won't make a fuss and it's impossible for him to plan anything.

However, if they send ministers, they will not have this right. At that time, even if the Duke of Wei does not show up, but just stirs up trouble behind the scenes, the ministers they send will not be able to bear it, and they will most likely fail.

When he arrived, the Duke of Wei had already been arrested and could not do anything, which greatly relieved the pressure on his ministers.

After letting them go, Zhu Youxiao continued to lie on Chen Yuer's thighs, enjoying her massage.

As for the outside room, Xu Xianchun breathed a sigh of relief after he came out.

This was the first time he had seen His Majesty in such a manner. Of course, he had met His Majesty privately before, but never in such a casual manner.

The civil officials might not be able to bear it, and many might even want to give some advice, but Xu Xianchun knew that His Majesty would not do such a thing in front of those people.

For someone like me, this is His Majesty's way of expressing his affection for you, and I cannot be ignorant of the importance of this.

After seeing Chen Hong, Xu Xianchun quickly said, "Eunuch Chen."

Chen Hong nodded to Xu Xianchun with a smile on his face.

Xu Xianchun is becoming increasingly favored. I wonder what the emperor sees in him. However, he is very smart and capable, and he will rise to prominence again this time.

Chen Hong said, "The person is here, come with us."

"Yes, father-in-law." Xu Xianchun agreed respectfully and followed Chen Hong down to the first floor.

When the two of them reached the first floor, Han Guotai had already been carried up.

Han Guotai still hadn't quite figured out what was going on, not knowing who these people were. He held his head high and shouted, "What the hell do you want to do? Do you know who I am? I'm telling you, you'd better let me go quickly, or you'll be in big trouble."

Xu Xianchun glanced at Han Guotai, then turned to look at Chen Hong with some confusion.

His Majesty did not tell him what was going on, but only told him that there was something for him to do and someone to hand over to him.

Chen Hong glanced at Xu Xianchun and said with a smile, "Go back and interrogate him yourself. You'll know after you ask him."

Obviously, Chen Hong didn't want to say it.

Although Xu Xianchun didn't know why, he didn't ask directly. After all, at this point, asking again would be considered tactless.

So Xu Xianchun nodded and said, "Yes, father-in-law."

At the same time, Xu Xianchun winked at his men.

After the two Jinyiwei came up, they took Han Guotai away directly.

Watching the group leave, Chen Hong's expression grew serious, and his smile vanished. He knew they were about to take action, and he feared some people would have a hard time.

After leaving Lichunyuan with his men and returning to his own territory, Xu Xianchun's aura suddenly changed.

Looking at the people who were escorting Han Guotai behind him, Xu Xianchun didn't dare to delay.

Since His Majesty has asked me to interrogate you, then I will do it thoroughly.

Xu Xianchun had Han Guotai tied to a cross-shaped pillar and stripped off his clothes.

A fire was lit nearby, with a large iron basin filled with burning coals and a branding iron on top. Various torture instruments were placed nearby, including whips and knives.

Don’t even think about using these things, they’re scary just to look at.

There were many things that Han Guotai had never seen before. Now that he saw them, his expression changed immediately.

You know, although Han Guotai is not that smart, he is not an absolute fool. He still understands the principle that a good man will not suffer a loss in front of him.

Han Guotai looked at Xu Xianchun and said, "My Lord, let's talk it over. No matter what the matter is, we can discuss it. If you want money, I have it."

"Just tell me how much you want. I won't bargain. I'll have it delivered to you right away. Don't hurt me. If anything goes wrong, we won't be able to do anything about it later."

Xu Xianchun glanced at Han Guotai and understood from what he said that this man really knew nothing.

Xu Xianchun sat on a chair and asked, "Tell me first. What is your last name and first name? Where do you live? What do you do for a living? Who are your father and mother?"

Looking at this guy's appearance, you can tell that he is not someone who can do big things, and Your Majesty should not be targeting him.

His Majesty is not such a boring person. So there is only one possibility, His Majesty's targeting of him may be related to the people behind him. In this case, it is natural to want to find out the reason.

At this time, Han Guotai naturally did not dare to hide it and quickly told his story.

Finally, he looked up at Xu Xianchun and said, "My father, Han Shicheng, and my family have been scholars for generations, and we usually make a living by doing some business. Please don't do anything rash. We can discuss everything. There will be absolutely no problem."
