Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong, nodded slowly, and said with a smile: "You, a servant, have such thoughts, but those people outside may not be so shameless. They are very thick-skinned. If they were not thick-skinned, they would have died long ago."
"I thought they were still very shameless." Chen Hong bowed and said, "I think I think the same as you."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's prepare some dinner. I'm really a little hungry." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said casually, as if he had no interest in this matter.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will arrange it right away." Chen Hong agreed quickly.
Zhu Youxiao just nodded lightly, without saying anything else, and turned to walk out. He was really hungry and was waiting to eat.
After Chen Hong arranged everything, he quietly left the base.
Soon, he arrived at the Jinyiwei’s base.
The moment Xu Xianchun learned that Chen Hong had arrived, he hurried out to greet him.
Originally, Xu Xianchun had never dared to neglect Chen Hong, and now he dared not neglect him even more. The current situation was not very clear and the situation was complicated. Xu Xianchun urgently needed news from the palace.
If there is any emergency or any change in things, and Xu Xianchun cannot get the news in the first time, the consequences will not be good.
After seeing Chen Hong, Xu Xianchun quickly bowed and said, "Eunuch Chen."
Chen Hong nodded and said, "Okay, let's go in and talk."
After saying this, Chen Hong did not stay here for too long and walked straight inside.
The two of them soon arrived at the back hall.
The Jinyiwei standing guard at the door had closed the door, and no one dared to come and eavesdrop.
After they sat down, Xu Xianchun smiled and took out a roll of something. He gently pushed it in front of Chen Hong and said, "Eunuch Chen, these are just a small gift. It's not a formality. Please accept it."
After taking a look at Xu Xianchun, Chen Hong calmly picked up the thing.
Two land deeds, one house deed, and an extra piece of flying money.
Looking up at Xu Xianchun, Chen Hong said sullenly, "Don't tell us that you got this thing with corruption, or that you accepted money from someone or let someone off the hook?"
This amount of money was very hot, and if Xu Xianchun didn't explain it clearly, Chen Hong really didn't dare to take it.
Given the emperor's current condition, if this matter were to be reported to him, even I would not have a good ending, and the emperor would not let me go.
Look at the current situation in Shandong, who can escape?
Chen Hong was also very angry in his heart. Why couldn't this man control his hands?
You can take the money, but only those who can clearly distinguish what money can be taken and what money cannot be taken will have a future and benefits; those who cannot will only end up in death.
Taking money at this time?
This is not the way to commit suicide.
After hearing what Chen Hong said, Xu Xianchun quickly said, "Don't worry, Eunuch Chen, there is absolutely no problem with the source of this money."
Xu Xianchun originally thought that Chen Hong would stop pursuing him after hearing this. However, he did not expect that after hearing this, Chen Hong's face instantly darkened.
Chen Hong stared at Xu Xianchun and asked, "Where did you get this money? Did you embezzle it during the seizure of property? Or did you extort it from corrupt officials?"
As he spoke, Chen Hong pushed the things back and stared at Xu Xianchun and said, "If you don't explain the situation clearly and tell us the origin of the money, we will definitely not accept it. If anything happens, don't come to me. We won't help."
Seeing Chen Hong speak so seriously, Xu Xianchun's heart sank.
Before this, Xu Xianchun also gave Chen Hong something as a gift. At that time, Chen Hong was very happy to receive it. There had never been a situation like today.
Chen Hong hadn't hesitated to accept more money or more valuable items than this. It didn't make sense that he'd accepted it before and not now. Clearly, something unusual was going on this time.
Xu Xianchun quickly lowered his voice and said, "Eunuch Chen, has something happened?"
Chen Hong looked at Xu Xianchun and said with a smile: "Nothing happened. What could have happened? It's nothing more than you losing your head."
"I originally thought you were smarter than Luo Sigong, but I didn't expect you to be so clever. I'll ask you one last time, where did all this money come from? If you can't explain it clearly, I'll leave now."
After hearing this, Xu Xianchun hurriedly said, "Eunuch, Eunuch, why is it so?"
"Why is it that serious?" Chen Hong laughed sarcastically and said coldly, "People are being arrested everywhere and people are dying every day. Why do you think this is a small matter?"
"Are there not many people who died in Shandong due to greed? The Kong family has collapsed, who do you think you are? How many officials have you arrested from top to bottom? You dare to do this now, do you really think His Majesty doesn't know?"
Xu Xianchun said helplessly, "Eunuch, this money was sent by those grain merchants. They just want me to confiscate less during the inspection and leave some for them. It would be best if we could let them go."
After hearing this, Chen Hong slammed the table and shouted, "You dare to take this money?"
"Shandong is now full of disaster victims, and Your Majesty is raising food supplies everywhere to provide relief. And yet, you dare to set your sights on food. So many officials in Shandong have fallen victim to food, and even the Kong family has fallen victim to it. How could you make such a mistake?"
"Father-in-law, father-in-law, please don't be so angry. There will be no shortage of food." Xu Xianchun said quickly: "Even if I had the guts, I wouldn't dare to reduce the amount of food."
