Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 838 Your Majesty, are you really so willing?
After Chen Lin walked out of the imperial study, he came to the office of the pre-trial department.

Because some people are still in Yangqu, when Chen Lin gathered all the staff, the pre-trial department didn't seem to have many people.

In the hall of the Si Yamen in front of the court, Chen Lin sat on the main seat. He looked at the people in the hall and said, "Just now, your majesty called me over, and your majesty asked how the investigation of the White Lotus Sect was done. Now, I can only tell His Majesty the truth.

It's been a long time since we started investigating the White Lotus Sect, but we haven't found anything during such a long time, which makes me feel ashamed.

When His Majesty asked me just now, I wished I could find a crack in the ground and slip in.So, everyone must work overtime to check the White Lotus Sect. "

All the people in the hall looked at Chen Lin quietly, but no one spoke.

Chen Lin's face was very ugly, he paused, and said again: "Your Majesty said that we should not only focus on Yangqu, but also check Xuanzhen, Taiyuan Mansion and the surrounding areas of Taiyuan Mansion.

I think so, so from now on, our goal should not only be in Yangqu, but also go to other places!

Now, listen to my arrangement..."

As Chen Lin spoke, he began to make arrangements.

After about an hour, Chen Lin's subordinates walked out of the gate of the pre-trial division one after another, and walked outside.

……

Time passed day by day, and there were not a few days left before the Chinese New Year.

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Wen gave all officials a holiday except those who had held important positions.

In the current Xuan Town, there is joy everywhere, and all kinds of red lanterns are filled with the streets of Xuan Town.

There are more and more pedestrians on the street, and they all take advantage of this time of the new year to buy new year's goods.

Chongzhen was no exception. He took his eldest son Zhu Cihong wandering around the streets of Xuanzhen, looking at this and that.

Even though Chongzhen took Zhu Cihong around Xuanzhen, every time he came out, Zhu Cihong couldn't get enough of it, and his eyes were always on those novelty objects on the street.

Behind Chongzhen is Zhao Wen's bodyguard assigned to Chongzhen. Apart from protecting Chongzhen's safety, they monitor Chongzhen's every move.

There were four guards following Chongzhen. Although there were many people on the street, these four guarded closely behind Chongzhen.

Zhu Cihong followed Chongzhen, and he kept looking at the vendors on both sides of the street.

"Father, what's that?" Zhu Cihong pointed to a vendor not far from him, and walked to the side.

"Go and see!"

Chongzhen said as he followed Zhu Cihong and walked to the side.

Talking to the guard behind Chongzhen, he walked towards Chongzhen.

But at this moment, a huge flow of people came towards them, engulfing the four guards and retreating.

The four guards looked anxious and kept pushing forward, but the density of the crowd was so high that it was difficult for them to move an inch.

At this time, Zhu Cihong and Chongzhen also came to the side of the vendor.

Before the two of them could stand still, four or five big men set up the two of them and squeezed into the crowd.

Chongzhen panicked and wanted to call for help.

However, Chongzhen gave up this idea when a big man who was carrying him came up to his ear and said the word "Your Majesty".

Chongzhen did not resist, he followed these big men.

These big men carrying Chongzhen squeezed back and forth in the crowd, and after squeezing out the crowd, they turned aimlessly on the street.

At this time, the four guards behind Chongzhen finally squeezed through the crowd. When they came to the place where Chongzhen disappeared, looking around, where was Chongzhen?

"It's over, Chongzhen disappeared, what should we do?" A guard looked flustered.

These four guards looked at me and I looked at you, and they panicked for a moment, not knowing what to do.

One of the guards said: "What else can we do? Report this matter quickly. Otherwise, we won't be able to eat and walk around."

The four guards walked out of the street as they spoke.

Not long after, one of the four guards appeared in the imperial study.

These four guards were specially selected by Zhao Wen. For the sake of safety, in case of an emergency, these four guards could meet Zhao Wen directly.

Zhao Wen looked at the guard standing in the imperial study room with a gloomy expression, "You mean when the four of you followed Chongzhen on the streets today, a group of people suddenly came to separate you from Chongzhen? Then wait for you to squeeze out When I was in the crowd, I found that Chongzhen had disappeared."

The guard said bitterly: "Your Majesty, that's how it was, the four of us followed Chongzhen closely at that time, without any slack.

But at this time, a group of people suddenly came and forcibly separated us from Chongzhen.

The four of us squeezed forward desperately, but this group of people seemed to be doing it on purpose. They just relied on their numbers to squeeze us so hard that we couldn't move forward. "

Zhao Wen frowned when he heard what the guard said. "It seems that these people did it on purpose. Their purpose is very clear, that is, to separate you from Chongzhen.

It's just that I don't know why they are looking for Chongzhen, what is their identity? "

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" the guard asked anxiously.

Zhao Wendao: "What else can I do? Of course I'm looking for Chongzhen. Chongzhen must have been taken away. Xuanzhen is so big. I don't believe it anymore. I can't find Chongzhen."

Zhao Wen said to the guard: "Okay, you go down first, I have made arrangements for this matter."

Seeing what Zhao Wen said, the guard had no choice but to leave the imperial study.

After the guard left, Zhao Wen said to Chen Dong, "Go and find Wang Qi."

Because now Chen Lin is busy investigating the affairs of the White Lotus Sect, so these matters can only be left to Wang Qi.

Chen Donglai responded, and then walked out of the imperial study.

Not long after, Wang Qi stood in the imperial study.

Zhao Wen looked at Wang Qi standing in the imperial study, and told the details of the incident.

Zhao Wen said to Wang Qi: "You take your people immediately and look for me in Xuan Town.

Remember, when you look for it again, you must keep your flags quiet and don't make a big show. "

Earlier, what Zhao Wen said to the outside world was that Chongzhen had already died for the country, so no matter what, this matter could not be revealed.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have a deep understanding of this matter.

Xuanzhen is so big, the minister must have found Chongzhen in a short time. "Wang Qi patted his chest and said solemnly.

Zhao Wen nodded and said, "In that case, I will leave this matter to you."

Half an hour later, Wang Qi's men appeared on the streets of Xuanzhen.

At the same time, Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong were taken to a very remote house by these big men.

This is the junction of the inner city and the outer city, which belongs to the village in the city or the junction of urban and rural areas.

There is a large population and a messy environment here, which is very suitable for hiding.

These people brought Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong to the study in the house.

Chongzhen suddenly sat quietly in the study, with a puzzled look on his face. He still doesn't know what happened until now. If it wasn't for the words of His Majesty, Chongzhen would definitely not have come here with these people.

Standing beside Chongzhen, Zhu Cihong said to Chongzhen with a face of fear: "Father, what are these people doing? Why did they bring the two of us here?"

Chongzhen shook his head, with a gloomy face, and said: "I don't know, but these people don't seem to have any malice towards us, let's wait and see."

At this time, the door of the study room was pushed open from the outside, and a big man pushed the door and entered.

This big man holds a teapot in one hand and a teacup in the other.

He put the teapot and cups on the table in the study.

"Your Majesty, have a cup of tea to suppress your shock."

The big man pointed to the teapot and teacups on the table, and said to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen wanted to ask who they were, but when the words came to his lips, he dismissed the idea.

"Okay, I see, you go out first!" Chongzhen said.

"As ordered!"

The man withdrew respectfully and closed the door of the study.

Looking at the teacups and teapots on the table, Chongzhen had no intention of drinking tea at all.

Now Chongzhen just wants to figure out who brought him here and what is the purpose of bringing him here.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the sun set on the western mountain.

In the evening sunlight, a figure appeared at the door of the study.

The person who appeared at the door of the study was none other than Cao Huachun, the great eunuch before Chongzhen.

Cao Huachun stood at the door of the study, took a few deep breaths, and tidied up his appearance.

Cao Huachun plucked up his courage and knocked on the door of the study.

"Boom, boom, boom!" There was a knock on the door.

Chongzhen looked towards the door of the study and said, "Come in."

Hearing the knock on the door, Chongzhen felt very anxious. At this moment, Chongzhen kept wondering who the person standing at the door was.

After Chongzhen's voice fell, Cao Huachun pushed open the door of the study and walked in.

Seeing Cao Huachun walking in, Chongzhen froze in place.

In just a short moment, Chongzhen thought a lot, but he didn't think that the person who wanted to see him was Cao Huachun, and Cao Huachun got it here by himself.

Chongzhen stared wide-eyed, pointed at Cao Huachun with disbelief, and said tremblingly, "Cao, Cao, Cao Daban, why is it you?"

Cao Huachun looked at Chongzhen excitedly, with tears in his eyes.

Cao Huachun knelt down and kowtowed several times to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen hurriedly helped Cao Huachun up, and quickly said: "Cao Daban, what are you doing? Get up quickly."

Cao Huachun was pulled up by Chongzhen.

"What's going on here? Didn't you die in battle? Why are you still alive? What's going on now?" Chongzhen pulled Cao Huachun.asked with a look of disbelief.

Cao Huachun choked up and said, "Your Majesty, I thought I would never see you again."

"Don't talk about this, please explain to me quickly, what's going on, didn't you die in battle before? Why are you still alive? What's going on today?"

Now Chongzhen is full of doubts in his heart, and now he really wants to figure out everything in front of him.

Cao Huachun wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty has a long story to tell.

Back then, when I was guarding the city wall, I was captured by the thief Zhao by accident.Later, they let me go again.

At that time, I believed the lie of Zhao Thief, thinking that His Majesty died for the country.

From then on, I thought about avenging His Majesty, so I came to Xuanzhen.

Once, I met His Majesty on the street.At that time, I thought His Majesty was a fake, but after investigation, I found out that it was really Your Majesty. "

"Oh, did I think you died in battle at the beginning? I didn't expect you to be alive. It's good to be alive. As long as you are still alive, that's good." Chongzhen said with emotion.

"By the way, is this bastard Gao Qiqian still alive?"

Chongzhen suddenly remembered this traitor. At that time, Zhao Wen was about to besiege the capital. At this critical juncture, Gao Qiqian escaped with his family property. At that time, Chongzhen almost died of anger.

"I heard that Gao Qiqian was captured by Zhao Thief's soldiers and horses. I haven't heard from him since then, so he must have been dealt with by Zhao Wen!" Cao Huachun said.

Chongzhen sat down, and he patted his thigh, full of emotion, "As long as the big partner is still alive, then things are not too bad."

"My lord, don't you really think about restoring the country? Are you really willing to see Zhao thief stealing artifacts every day?" Cao Huachun suddenly became excited.

Hearing Cao Huachun's voice, Chongzhen froze in place.

After a long time, Chongzhen let out a long sigh, "Oh, I have resigned myself to my fate now!"

"My lord, you can't accept your fate. I have now contacted a large number of survivors and organized a large number of people.

As long as the time is right, His Majesty will definitely be able to take back the country. Your Majesty, you must not accept your fate. "Cao Huachun persuaded earnestly.

Chongzhen waved his hands dejectedly, and said, "Give up, you are no match for Zhao Wen."

Chongzhen has already seen clearly that the gap between himself and Zhao Wen is very large, too big to be bridged.

The current Chongzhen no longer has the courage to be an enemy of Zhao Wen again.

"My lord, you can't do this!" Cao Huachun said eagerly.

"Eunuch Cao, my father has already said, give up, you are no match for Zhao Wen. His strength is simply not something you can fight against. If you insist on going your own way, you will die miserably!"

Zhu Cihong, who stood beside him silently for a long time, also spoke to persuade him.

Cao Huachun looked at Chongzhen, then at Zhu Cihuang, and sighed: "Oh, is it true that the emperor is so willing to hand over the country?"

"What's the use of being willing? What's the point?" Chongzhen said with a pale face.

Now Chongzhen's heart is dead, he no longer thinks about these things, and he is unwilling to think about these things.
