When the subordinate saw Xu Xianchun's expression, he lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will arrest him right away."
After saying this, the subordinate turned around and left with his men.
Xu Xianchun thought about it, took a few steps forward, caught up with him and said, "I'll go myself."
This matter is too serious. If it is investigated, it will become a major case. There must be no mistakes. If someone dies, it will become very troublesome.
In such a situation, no mistakes could be made. So Xu Xianchun was going to personally monitor it and make sure that nothing went wrong.
The group set off in a mighty procession and headed straight for the location of Duke Yansheng.
When Xu Xianchun arrived, the people here had already received the news.
Since his last visit to the palace, Duke Yansheng had been under surveillance. Surrounding him were members of the Imperial Guards and the imperial palace guards. Without Zhu Youxiao's warrant, no one could see Duke Yansheng.
However, news has just come from the palace that Xu Xianchun can go in to see Duke Yansheng.
Arriving at the door, the guard saw Xu Xianchun and saw that he was followed by a group of people. He said directly: "Sir Xu, the emperor has ordered that you can go in, but only you can go in. The others can only wait outside. What do you think?"
"Since it is the will of His Majesty, as a subject, we must obey." Xu Xianchun nodded. "But is this imperial decree only for Duke Yansheng, or does it apply to all members of the Kong family?"
"Of course it's only targeting Duke Yansheng." The gatekeeper said quickly.
The people above had personally explained this matter, and the courtesy was only shown to Duke Yansheng. As for the other people in the Kong Mansion, they were not in the same polite group, so he had no scruples.
"That's good." Xu Xianchun nodded and waved behind him with a smile.
A man in his thirties quickly came to Xu Xianchun's side.
This man had a big beard, a burly build, and a ferocious face. He was none other than Xu Xianchun's trusted confidant in the Imperial Guard, Cui Yingyuan.
Cui Yingyuan was originally a street scoundrel from Daxing, Beijing, who was later recruited by the Jinyiwei. Because of his efficiency, ruthlessness, and familiarity with the capital, he was recruited by Xu Xianchun.
As Cui Yingyuan was Xu Xianchun's confidant, he was also brought along on this trip.
Cui Yingyuan quickly asked, "What instructions does Your Excellency have?"
"You take the men to arrest them, and I'll go see Duke Yansheng." Xu Xianchun said slowly, straightening his clothes and instructing, "By the way, don't make too much noise."
"Don't worry, sir. I know what to do." Cui Yingyuan quickly agreed and walked in with his men, ready to arrest the person.
As for Xu Xianchun, he walked towards another courtyard where Duke Yansheng lived.
For Duke Yansheng Kong Yinzhi, the past few days have not been easy. Ever since entering the palace, he has been in a state of trepidation and fear. It can be said that he is very scared and very worried at the same time.
Kong Yinzhi also wanted to go out and contact people outside, but the people here didn't give him the opportunity at all.
Apart from someone delivering him food every day, no one interacted with him. Although the accommodation in the house was good, with study supplies and a lot of books, there was no one there.
The conditions here are much better than those in prison, but in reality, it is just a disguised form of imprisonment.
Kong Yinzhi never imagined that things would develop to this point today.
The Kong family had done some shameful things, and had violated many of the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but nothing had ever happened.
The Kong family has always been protected by someone. Even when the matter was brought to the attention of the emperor, the emperor simply turned a blind eye. Everyone had to give their ancestors face, and no one dared to risk offending the scholars of the world by doing anything to their family. Therefore, the Kong family had nothing to fear.
But this time, Kong Yinzhi was really scared, especially after meeting the current emperor.
His Majesty didn't give me any face at all and turned against me in front of me. Not only did he kick me, but he also said that anyone could be the Duke of Yansheng. This was definitely not just talk.
So Kong Yinzhi has been living in fear, and even didn't dare to eat for two meals when he just came back.
He was worried that he would be poisoned by His Majesty, after all, His Majesty had said that. Later, when he was really starving, Kong Yinzhi dared to eat and drink.
After receiving the news that Xu Xianchun was coming, Kong Yinzhi's heart skipped a beat. Is His Majesty finally going to deal with him?
Watching Xu Xianchun walk in from outside, Kong Yinzhi sat on the chair and forced himself to calm down.
He took a sip of tea, raised his head and looked at Xu Xianchun, and said, "Master Xu, are you here on orders from the emperor?"
"Of course it's in accordance with His Majesty's decree." Xu Xianchun said with a smile.
As he spoke, Xu Xianchun looked around, and then continued, "You should know that ordinary people cannot enter this place now. Without the order of His Majesty, I cannot enter either."
"Then what does Lord Xu want to tell me?" Kong Yinzhi raised his head and looked at Xu Xianchun, and said slowly.
"It's nothing serious," Xu Xianchun said as he walked to a nearby chair and sat down. "I just want to talk to Lord Yansheng about how your Kong family is preparing to rebel."
After hearing this, Kong Yinzhi turned to look at Xu Xianchun, snorted coldly and said, "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext!"
