The token in Zhu Cixiong's hand was a small green tangerine that was about to rot.
The green orange peel is a little dry and wrinkled.
I don’t know if the flesh inside is going bad or because it has lost too much water.
It felt so soft when pinched that Zhu Cijiong almost crushed the tangerine.
He remembered it clearly.
When he left Beijing for Liaodong, Wang Chengen handed him a package.
There was neither gold nor silver inside, but green tangerines prepared for him by his father, Emperor Chongzhen.
He didn't dare eat those green oranges, nor did he dare throw them away, let alone show them off.
It just stays in the package and rots.
Apart from him, Wang Chengen and his father Emperor Chongzhen, no one else knew about this matter.
In other words, the people outside were sent by his father.
etc.
Zhu Cijiong felt something was wrong again.
If it was his father who sent someone to Liaodong, he must have wanted to tell him some news or give him something.
This kind of thing can be completely left to the Jinyiwei.
If that doesn't work, the guards from the East Factory can also do it.
Whether it is the Jinyiwei or the Factory Guard.
They all have identity credentials.
You can come directly to the camp to meet him instead of being blocked outside the camp to meet him.
Is this person sent by my father Emperor Chongzhen?
If so...why don't you reveal your identity?
Zhu Cijiong hesitated and thought for a long time before saying to the Jinyiwei beside him: "Bring him to see me."
Just as the Jinyiwei turned around and was about to leave, Zhu Cijiong added, "Remember not to search me, and don't draw other people's attention."
"Yes, sir." The two Jinyiwei left quickly.
Not long.
Two Jinyiwei came over with a young man.
The man carried a homemade bow on his back and a quiver and machete on his waist.
He is holding two hares in his left hand, and looks like a hunter.
When he was still some distance away from Zhu Cixiong, the man put his weapon and the hare on the ground.
Then he came to Zhu Cijiong and knelt down about ten feet in front of him and saluted: "I, Zhang Wu, pay my respects to His Majesty Prince Ding."
Zhu Cijiong was stunned for a moment.
He had met Zhang Wu in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
At that time, Zhang Wu was wearing eunuch's clothes and standing beside the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, responsible for welcoming and seeing off guests.
"You..." Zhu Cijiong didn't know where to start, so he could only pretend to be silent.
Zhang Wu immediately explained, "I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Ding risked his life to come to the Liaodong front, so I shot two rabbits to present to His Royal Highness."
"Okay!" Zhu Cijiong nodded readily, "I never eat or take anything for free. Come with me to the tent to get the reward money."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhang Wu knelt down and kowtowed.
After standing up, he followed Zhu Cijiong and two Jinyiwei into a tent.
At Zhu Cixiong's instruction, two Jinyiwei guards stood guard at the door of the tent.
As soon as the tent curtain was lowered, Zhang Wu immediately took out his ID and knelt down and said, "Chief Zhang Wu of the East Investigation Bureau pays respect to His Royal Highness Prince Ding."
The head of the East Factory was the East Factory Governor.
Below them are the thousand-household officer in charge of criminal justice, the hundred-household officer in charge of criminal justice, the shift manager, and the foreman.
The person in charge of field detective work is the captain, also known as the head of the team.
Each block leader has several foreign servants under him, also known as Dongchang guards.
"I know you," Zhu Cijiong said solemnly, standing where he was, "Did the emperor send you here?"
"Your Majesty asked me to come here," Zhang Wu replied.
"What is the emperor's will? Why do you have to keep it so secretive?" Zhu Cijiong asked.
"I don't know either. His Majesty only told me that this matter is of great importance and I must conceal my identity as much as possible."
"Come closer and let's talk slowly." Zhu Cijiong sat on a mat and put a mat next to him, motioning Zhang Wu to sit down.
Of course Zhang Wu didn't dare to sit down. After bowing and thanking Zhu Cijiong, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Zhu Cijiong.
Zhu Cijiong was about to open it but was interrupted by Zhang Wu: "Your Highness cannot read it."
"Hmm?" Zhu Cijiong frowned: "Why?"
"This is what your Majesty said, and I am just repeating it," Zhang Wu replied.
"Then...then why did my father give me this letter?" Zhu Cijiong became more and more confused.
Give him a letter but don't let him read the contents of the letter.
This is so unreasonable.
Zhang Wu did not answer the question immediately, but pointed in the direction of Shenyang City and asked: "Your Highness, are you going into the city?"
"Yes, Wang Yongji, the governor of Pingliao, asked me to go into the city to look for supplies."
"Your Highness should enter the so-called imperial city of Jiannu, right?"
"I think so."
"Then please find a suitable time, Your Highness, and have this letter appear in the 'Imperial City' without being discovered." Zhang Wu said seriously.
Zhu Cijiong thought for a moment and asked in a low voice: "What is this...?"
He wanted to say that this was a frame-up.
But considering that the instigator of this incident was his own father, he could only hold back the second half of the sentence.
"I don't know, Your Highness, please don't speculate." Zhang Wu's face was full of seriousness.
"Okay then," Zhu Cixiong took the letter and put it carefully into his sleeve.
After doing all this, he asked Zhang Wu in a low voice: "Has anything major happened in the capital recently? If it's inconvenient, you don't have to tell me."
"Your Highness is too polite. It's not inconvenient!" Zhang Wu paused and said, "There is indeed a big event in the capital. Wang Zhixin, the governor of the East Factory, has been impeached by the cabinet and the civil and military officials of the whole court."
Zhu Cijiong was very surprised: "What did Wang Zhixin do? How could he be impeached by so many people at this critical moment?"
Zhang Wu sighed, "Wang Zhixin caused a murder while mining in Zhejiang. The victim was a well-known local gentry. He was not only kind and generous, but also donated money to the court to help pacify Liao. This man could not bear Wang Zhixin's extortion, so he hit his head against the wall and died in front of Wang Zhixin."
