Chapter 97 There are many people who want to rebel

After seeing it with his own eyes, Lin Bei finally realized how patient Zhu Wusi was.

This guy is a brother of the late emperor, but because of his background, he had no chance of inheriting the throne from the beginning.

Under normal circumstances, he would have been kept like a pig like most of the royal family.

Perhaps because he didn't even have the title of a prince, Zhu Wusi gradually went down a path of madness.

According to the national policy of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's sons were made princes at the age of ten, and were granted fiefdoms when they turned twenty. The sons of princes were made princes of a county when they turned ten.

Zhu Wusi only got the title of marquis, which was conferred by the late emperor. Before the late emperor came to the throne, he didn't even have a title.

Emperor Chenghua had more than ten sons, and basically every one of them was made a king.

Among them, Zhu Wusi was the youngest. Not only did he not have the throne, but his name was not even named according to the generation name arranged by Old Zhu.

It only shows that his background is very questionable, but due to certain reasons, the first two emperors were unable to deal with him openly.

Lin Bei has already imagined more than a hundred episodes of bloody ethics drama in his mind.

If it were the real Zhengde, he might be hesitant to deal with Zhu Wusi, after all, it concerns the reputation of the royal family, but for Lin Bei, if the evidence he received was not sufficient, he would want to kill Tiedan Shenhou, the Ninja Turtle, right now.

It's a pity that Zhu Wusi can continue to tolerate this kind of arrogant behavior. It may be difficult for him to catch such a good opportunity again.

Lin Bei was thinking about whether to ask Gu Santong to bring Su Xin back in advance, and then let the three of them act like a loving family in front of Zhu Wusi.

He just didn't believe that Zhu Wusi could continue to endure under such circumstances.

Zhu Wusi, who had just walked out of the restaurant, suddenly shuddered. For some reason, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

But he didn't think about it too much. The most important thing now was how to deal with his remaining problems.

Zhu Wusi was not in the same camp as the civil and military officials in the court, although he tried his best to win them over.

But those people are very clear-headed. Not to mention that the possibility of supporting Zhu Wusi to ascend to the throne is slim, even if they can, they will not choose a strong emperor. Wouldn't that be a nuisance to themselves?

It's fine as it is now. The emperor is just a mascot.

In the restaurant, Lin Bei turned his gaze to Shangguan Haitang and said, "You go out first."

"As ordered!"

Shangguan Haitang lowered her head, and no one could see her expression at this moment.

After she left, Lin Bei looked at Cao Zhengchun, who immediately walked to the door and released the true energy of Tiangang Boy's Kung Fu.

In this situation, unless one's inner strength could overpower Cao Zhengchun, there would be no way for him to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.

Lin Bei felt somewhat envious when he saw this scene. If he could absorb all of Cao Zhengchun's pure inner strength from his boyhood kung fu, he estimated that his Vajra Indestructible Kung Fu would be perfected.

But now he is one of our own, and it would be difficult to take action before Cao Zhengchun shows signs of rebellion.

Lin Bei looked at Liu Dufeng and Guo Juxia and said, "You two, I have something I want to ask you, please answer me honestly."

Liu Dufeng and Guo Juxia looked at each other, then lowered their heads and said, "Your Majesty, please ask!"

Lin Bei leaned forward slightly, smiled faintly and asked: "I want to ask, is your loyalty to the court or to the common people of this world?"

This was a big bomb right from the start, which stunned Liu Dufeng and Guo Juxia. Before they entered the court, they were both famous heroes in the martial arts world.

Especially Guo Juxia, few people remember his real name. Juxia is the nickname given to him by people in the martial arts world, which means that what he has done has far exceeded the ordinary chivalrous acts.

Liu Dufeng's reputation is not as loud as Guo Juxia's, and the reputation of his four famous detectives is mixed, but his title of God of Detective is well deserved.

Jin Jiuling is also known as the God of Catching, but there is a small word in front of it. When people outside mention the God of Catching, they are more likely to be referring to Liu Dufeng.

These two people rarely participated in the debates in the court. In addition, their two departments were in charge of civil affairs and had no jurisdiction over those ministers.

They couldn't even interfere in the affairs of the nobles.

For those in the court, the people refer to the gentry, while the common people at the bottom are just a group of untouchables.

The two departments that handle these untouchable cases are like two guard dogs and are not worth their attention.

Guo Juxia and Liu Dufeng also knew the attitudes of those adults, so they did not take the initiative to flatter them.

But that doesn't mean they are willing to be loyal to Lin Bei. Those adults may not be able to do anything to Lin Bei, but it is easy to crush the two of them.

After struggling for a while, their personalities still did not allow them to say anything that went against their true feelings.

Guo Juxia clasped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty, as a loyal subject, I am naturally loyal to the people and the Ming Dynasty!"

Seeing this, Liu Dufeng also said: "I do the same!"

Lin Bei's expression remained unchanged, he was still smiling, and asked another question.

"What would you do if the ministers in the court did something that harmed the people of Dawn?"

Given their positions, the two men had to deal with the most criminal cases, which were inevitably related to the gentry, so no one knew the moral character of the gentry better than them.

But, is this something they can say?
Liu Dufeng and Guo Juxia chose to remain silent at the same time. They were willing to uphold justice for the common people, but did not want to get involved in the struggle between the emperor and the civil and military officials in the court.

Lin Bei did not force the two of them. If he were in the position of Liu Dufeng and Guo Juxia, he would also choose to pretend to be dead.

He sighed softly and said, "I said this just to see if you two still have a sense of impartiality. If you two can still maintain your original intentions, I will be very happy. It just so happens that I have something that I would like to ask you two to investigate."

The emperor was so polite to them that both Guo and Liu felt flattered.

"Your Majesty, please give your orders!"

"I heard that the Prince of Nan looks exactly like me and is secretly plotting a rebellion. Please help me investigate and see if it is a false accusation or if it is true. Lord Guo, you will be responsible for investigating the Nan Palace. Lord Liu, you will investigate Liu Tong. Also, see which guards in the palace are in collusion with them."

Liu and Guo were both very nervous. No matter when, rebellion was never a trivial matter.

Under normal circumstances, it would not be their turn to investigate such matters, but the Jinyiwei and the Eastern Depot are not pushovers.

But now Lin Bei has thrown the matter to them. If he looks at it in a positive way, it means that he doesn't trust the Jinyiwei and the Eastern Depot. If he looks at it in a negative way, it means that he sees that the two of them are unwilling to surrender, so he wants to find a reason to kill them.

But the emperor had given the order, and they had no right to refuse. If they disobeyed the order, they would be beheaded!

Liu Dufeng and Guo Juxia sighed secretly and had no choice but to accept the task.
