After Chen Hong said this, he stared closely at the shopkeeper named Kong Liansheng.
Although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were extremely cold, and the meaning was very clear: if you don't tell me, I will kill you.
Looking at Chen Hong's expression, Kong Liansheng hurriedly said with a wry smile: "I'm just a shopkeeper. Please don't embarrass me, sir. I really don't know anything."
After hearing this, Chen Hong immediately laughed out loud. He had made up his mind not to say anything.
Chen Hong waved to the Jinyiwei behind him and said directly: "Take the people back and let them see the ability of you Jinyiwei."
The Jinyiwei naturally did not dare to delay and hurried forward to take Kong Liansheng away.
The Jinyiwei present were all Xu Xianchun's confidants, and they all knew that Eunuch Chen was a favorite of His Majesty. Most importantly, Eunuch Chen was the Jinyiwei's backer within the palace.
Back when Xu Xianchun was not the commander of the Jinyiwei, this eunuch was already everyone's supporter, and it was even more so now. Naturally, one had to listen carefully to what this eunuch said.
As for Kong Liansheng, they didn't even take him seriously. The Jinyiwei had arrested and interrogated so many people, what kind of people had they not seen?
No matter how vicious a person looks, once he enters the Jinyiwei prison, he will be as obedient as a mouse. Take Kong Liansheng in front of him, who has never seen anything before. He will tell everything if he is thrown in to be scared.
Chen Hong stood up and said directly, "Alright, I'll leave this to you. I'll report to His Majesty right away."
After saying this, Chen Hong turned and left.
After returning to the Jizhou government office, Chen Hong ran to find Zhu Youxiao.
When he saw Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao asked directly: "How is it going? Did you bring back some food? It seems that you didn't get much."
After hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, a look of embarrassment flashed across Chen Hong's face.
In fact, what he said to Kong Liansheng was not really said to Kong Liansheng, but was what was truly in his heart.
This was the first time His Majesty asked me to do something, but I failed.
However, Chen Hong did not dare to hide anything and recounted the entire incident. Finally, he said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I have already asked the Imperial Guards to interrogate Kong Liansheng. I believe the results will be revealed soon."
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Forget it, there's no need to let them torture me."
After hearing this, Chen Hong was stunned, and then hesitantly said: "Then should I ask them to stop immediately?"
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Let them stop."
Although he was confused, Chen Hong did not ask why. He had a clear understanding of himself: he was the emperor's servant, and he had to do what a servant should do, without overthinking.
Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied with Chen Hong's attitude.
This eunuch knew what he had to do and did not have many questions. Although his ability to get things done was not very good and was far inferior to Wei Zhongxian, Chen Hong was much better than Wei Zhongxian in terms of obedience.
You can trust Chen Hong to do things, he will do it according to your instructions and will not do anything weird.
It may seem easy to find such people, and their approach may seem simple, but not many people can actually do it. Most people have their own ideas and will mess things up from time to time.
Zhu Youxiao didn't have any better solution for this, so he valued Chen Hong more.
Soon Chen Hong gave his order, and Zhu Youxiao also said to him directly: "Send someone to convey the order to the Duke of Yansheng, and ask him to come here to see me. I will wait for him here."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong quickly agreed and turned around to convey the order.
In fact, Chen Hong also understood at this moment. Although his reaction was slow, he was not a fool after all, and he quickly figured out what was going on.
The emperor did not interrogate Kong Liansheng because it was not worth it.
This is the Emperor, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Son of Heaven! Targeting a servant of the Kong family is truly beneath his dignity. Even if they need to investigate or interrogate, they should investigate the Yansheng Duke of the Kong family, not a servant of the Kong family.
So after figuring this out, Chen Hong roughly understood the emperor's thoughts, and the things that he couldn't figure out before were now clear to him.
After Chen Hong left, Zhu Youxiao stood in place, slowly walked out of the house, looked up at the sky outside, and a smile appeared on his face.
Soon, Chen Hong came back from outside and went directly to Zhu Youxiao. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Master Xu Guangqi is outside asking to see you."
"Let him in." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said.
Not long after, Xu Guangqi walked in from outside.
After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Xu Guangqi quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am Xu Guangqi, your Highness."
"Alright, no need to be polite." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile, "I've already told you guys that there's no need to be so polite when you go out."
"Etiquette cannot be neglected." Xu Guangqi said with a serious face.
Seeing Xu Guangqi's serious look, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and didn't want to say anything to Xu Guangqi about this matter.
Then he said directly: "Then tell me, what are you doing here?"
"Your Majesty, I would like to report to you on the disaster relief matters," said Xu Guangqi.
"Then tell me about it." Zhu Youxiao leaned back in his chair, assumed a more comfortable posture, and waited to hear Xu Guangqi's report.
Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was ready, Xu Guangqi began to speak.
