Everyone is afraid that the corruption of disaster relief grain will be exposed, so as long as His Majesty dies, they will raise their arms and these people will definitely follow them in rebellion.
After reading the confession, Huang Kezun was furious. He slammed the confession on the table and said, "This is simply wishful thinking and audacity! These people really deserve to die!"
Listening to Huang Kezun's words and looking at his expression, Xu Xianchun smiled slightly.
Of course, this confession is half true and half false, but some things can stand up to scrutiny. As for those things that cannot stand up to scrutiny, there is no way to investigate them.
There was evidence of grain trafficking and embezzlement of disaster relief grain. There was also evidence to investigate the officials and people in Qufu involved.
As for the claim that they were colluding with the White Lotus Sect, this matter was naturally extremely private and difficult to investigate. However, if we give ourselves time, we will naturally be able to find evidence.
"I wonder if the Lord has anything else to ask?" Xu Xianchun looked at Huang Kezun and asked with a smile.
Xu Xianchun was very confident that he could give an answer no matter what Huang Kezun asked.
Huang Kezun simply shook his head and said, "There's nothing more to ask."
Huang Kezun could see that not everything in the confession was true, but he had no way to verify it. It was impossible to interrogate these two people here. Although he was a cabinet minister, he still did not have the right to do so.
"Your Majesty has ordered the Imperial Guard to investigate this matter, so this matter must be under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Guard."
If I want to intervene, that would be an overstepping of authority. The Imperial Guards would not agree, and neither would His Majesty.
I am not that stupid and will not interfere in this matter for the sake of two traitors.
Whether Your Majesty wants to use the rebels to deal with some people, or someone really wants to rebel, it has nothing to do with you, so why bother getting yourself involved.
Judging from the current situation, maybe that statement is true.
During his time in Jining, Huang Kezhen was not idle. He checked everywhere, even Zhang Shun in Jining, and got some useful information.
Many of the confessions in this confession can be verified, such as the reselling of disaster relief grain and the manipulation of Shandong officials.
Only the matter of the White Lotus Sect has not been confirmed, but it is not that difficult. As long as the news is released, it will definitely be confirmed.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Xu." Huang Kezun said with a smile, "I will take my leave now."
"Take care, sir." Xu Xianchun also said with a smile, "I'll see you off."
The two of them left the Jinyiwei’s base together.
Huang Kezun came back immediately. It can be said that he left quickly and came back quickly.
After Huang Kezun met Xu Guangqi, he told him everything in detail.
After hearing Huang Kezun's words, Xu Guangqi slammed the table and shouted angrily: "These people are really audacious!"
"Yes," Huang Kezun echoed, "How audacious! They resold disaster relief grain with no regrets. After the truth was exposed, they even considered rebellion. Their crime is truly unforgivable!"
Xu Guangqi glanced at Huang Kezun and said, "The most urgent task is to find the White Lotus rebels. Let your men investigate and find the White Lotus rebels in Jining.
Listening to Xu Guangqi's words, Huang Kezun nodded.
Of course, he understood what Xu Guangqi meant. On the surface, he wanted to investigate the traitors, but in fact, he wanted to confirm Xu Xianchun's words and the confession to see if there was really someone who wanted to rebel.
If someone really wanted to rebel, then there would be nothing to say. But if Xu Xianchun was the one who made the false accusation and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to persecute others in Shandong, then this matter might need to be dealt with.
But this matter cannot be said openly, we can only investigate the matter first.
"I'll send someone to check it out right away." Huang Kezun nodded and said.
In Jining, the Jinyiwei were naturally omnipresent. Qi Jin's men guarded Jining City, while Huang Kezun commanded the government offices there.
Huang Kezun has the final say in all government offices, big and small, and he has people in his hands.
"There's no time to lose. I'm here to take care of things, so don't worry." Xu Guangqi nodded and said, "We must find out before daybreak."
"I'll go right away." Huang Kezun also nodded and said.
After Huang Kezun left, Xu Guangqi sat in a chair, thinking over and over again about what had happened today, as well as the various possibilities of this matter and how to deal with it tomorrow.
To Xu Guangqi, no one was innocent in this matter. Whether it was the people in the Prince of Lu's palace or the Shandong officials of the Ming Dynasty, they all deserved death.
The only thing that worried Xu Guangqi was the people in Qufu. They were descendants of Confucius, the dignified Duke of Yansheng.
Although Xu Guangqi did not believe in Qufu and even looked down on Qufu, the attitude of the scholars in the world was that everyone called themselves disciples of Confucius. If they really made a fuss, there would probably be trouble.
By that time, I'm afraid it will affect His Majesty. However, he can only think about this matter. The final outcome depends on what His Majesty says and what His Majesty decides.
The next morning, the sun rose and the sunlight filled Jining City.
When the people opened the door today, they found that Jining City was under martial law and the streets were full of soldiers.
The soldiers' faces were serious and murderous, which naturally frightened many people so much that they dared not go out.
It's just that no matter what time it is, there are naturally brave people and well-informed people. Some people go out to get information, while others go directly to the streets to ask.
