I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 477 It's All True!

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

At this moment, Jiajing looked at Chen Hong who was kneeling in front of him indifferently, and asked, "Chen Hong, it's so late, what can you do to find me?"

When Chen Hong heard this, his expression was happy at first, and then he became anxious again. After hesitating for a moment, he knocked his head heavily on the ground three times, and said in a deep voice.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this servant has taken the liberty of coming to disturb me, because I really have something extremely important to report to you!"

As Chen Hong said, he took out the many criminal evidences about Lu Fang that had been prepared from his sleeves, held them high above his head, and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, here are the many crimes committed by the eunuch Lv Fang in the hands of the chief inspector of ceremonies. It is too difficult to record. The servants really can't stand it. Just now..."

Chen Hong didn't finish the rest of the sentence, because he keenly felt that there was an invisible pressure covering him, and even breathing became difficult.

After listening to Chen Hong's words, Jiajing squinted his eyes slightly, and did not rush to take the envelope from Chen Hong's hand, but raised his eyebrows and asked in a leisurely manner.

"Chen Hong, do you know what you are talking about?"

Hearing these words, Chen Hong couldn't help but suffocate his breath. Immediately, he realized that he had no way out, and his expression became firmer. He gritted his teeth and continued.

"Report to Your Majesty, this servant knows exactly what I'm talking about!"

"For a long time, Lu Fang relied on your favor to take bribes, sell officials, frame Zhongliang, and eliminate dissidents. His godson Yang Jinshui, when he was the chief eunuch of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, relied on his power to collect bribes wantonly!"

When Chen Hong said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the annual income of the Weaving Bureau is not the only one on the surface."

"In addition, as far as I know, there are two kinds of ledgers in the Weaving Bureau, one is the open ledger, which is specially shown to your Majesty, and the other is the secret ledger, and the things recorded on it are the Weaving Bureau's. True accounts."

"And through this method, most of the money obtained through embezzlement fell into Lu Fang's pocket!"

"In addition, before the imperial court officially lifted the sea ban, the smuggling families along the southeast coast also had an unclear relationship with Lu Fang, the eunuch who was in charge of the etiquette. Take some of them out to bribe Lu Fang."

"Your Majesty, what this servant said is true. You only need to look at the evidence in the hands of this servant to know that what this servant said is true. If there is a lie in the middle, I would like to be struck by thunder!"

Seeing that Jiajing did not respond for a long time, Chen Hong suddenly panicked, and quickly swore an oath.

Just as Chen Hong was still anxiously waiting for Jiajing's decision, he felt a lightness in his hand and looked up, only to see that Jiajing was silent and took many evidences from his hands.

Seeing this situation, Chen Hong couldn't help being overjoyed, and said to himself, "Your Majesty has taken over the evidence from me. Hmph, Lu Fang, you will be in great trouble soon!"

Just when Chen Hong thought that Jiajing would fly into a rage after reading the evidence related to Lu Fang, and immediately sent someone to deal with Lu Fang, who knew Jiajing just glanced at him for a while, then lost interest, and instead ordered: .

"Well, I know about this matter, let's go back!"

Chen Hong was dumbfounded when he heard this, and immediately summoned up his courage, and asked Jiajing: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, don't you plan to deal with it..."

However, before Chen Hong finished speaking, he met Jiajing's extraordinarily cold gaze.

Jiajing had a panoramic view of the expression on Chen Hong's face, sneered, and immediately asked back.

"Why, Chen Hong, are you teaching me how to do things?"

When Chen Hong heard this, he panicked and faltered for a long time without saying a complete sentence.

"No... dare not, Your Majesty, this servant just feels..."

Before Chen Hong could finish his defense, Jiajing interrupted him coldly.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, you can go back. It's so late, and I'm a little tired!"

When Chen Hong heard the words, even though he felt unwilling, he had no choice but to respectfully respond.

"As you order, Your Majesty, this servant will leave now!"

After Chen Hong left, Jiajing looked at the many criminal evidences related to Lu Fang on the book case, his expression was cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After Chen Hong came out of Qianqing Palace, on the way back, he bumped into Lu Fang who was hurrying over.

Seeing this situation, Chen Hong immediately moved out of the way, and asked Lu Fang with a smile on his face, "Old Ancestor, it's so late, where are you going?"

Lu Fang was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and then reacted, and responded unhurriedly: "It's really a coincidence, our family just got the news that a mouse seems to have sneaked into the Qianqing Palace where His Majesty is!"

"As the chief inspector of rites and the eunuch, our family naturally has the obligation to go and confirm, lest some shady rats take this opportunity to slander His Majesty!"

When Lu Fang said this, he also looked up and down Chen Hong by the way, and the contempt in his eyes was self-evident.

After Chen Hong listened to Lu Fang's ridicule, the resentment towards Lu Fang in his heart reached another level.

At this moment, he wished to swallow Lu Fang alive. For this reason, Chen Hong clenched his fists and looked at Lu Fang with a selective and devouring gaze.

Due to too much force, the nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, and traces of blood oozed out, but at this moment, Chen Hong didn't feel anything about it, and could only see him looking at Lu Fang with a gloomy expression, and said word by word.

"Hmph, let's wait and see. Your Majesty has already learned of the crimes you committed. I'll see how you explain to Your Majesty!"

After leaving this sentence, Chen Hong didn't stop at the scene, and immediately walked away.

After listening to Chen Hong's words, Lu Fang suddenly showed a bewildered expression, and said silently: "Your Majesty, do you know?"

Immediately, Lu Fang came back to her senses and said silently to herself.

"No, no, I have to go to meet His Majesty immediately and explain clearly to him face to face!"

After that, I saw Lu Fang walking in the direction of Qianqing Palace with extremely eager steps.

……

Since Chen Hong left, Jiajing was the only one left in the huge Qianqing Palace.

At this moment, he was slowly picking up the green teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and sipped it on his own.

The moment the tea entered the mouth, it was bitter at first, and then sweet, this feeling made Jiajing extremely intoxicated.

Prior to this, Jiajing had browsed through all the evidence submitted by Chen Hong.

His intuition told him that everything Chen Hong just said was true!

Whether it is the open and dark ledgers of the Weaving Bureau, or the interest exchanges between Lu Fang and those coastal smuggling families before the imperial court lifted the sea ban, and even some affairs of selling officials and nobles in the middle, it is also important. It's all true!

At this moment, the guiding eunuch walked in with small steps and reported respectfully to Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Lu is seeking an audience, look..."

After listening to the eunuch's report, Jiajing raised his eyebrows, and immediately ordered with his usual expression.

"Well, let him in!"
