Chapter 978
but……

Faced with this situation, all the officials chose to remain silent.No one impeached, because they all felt more or less guilty in their hearts.Even Xu Jie and Gao Gong chose to remain silent.

Sitting in the study, Luo Xin calculated the time. It had been more than two days since Chen Hong had been stuffed with soybeans, but he still had no confession. This not only made Luo Xin admire Chen Hong in confidence.While he was there admiringly, Huang Jin hurried over and said as soon as he entered the door:

"No, Chen Hong has recruited."

"Recruited?" Luo Xin said with joy on his face, "What did you recruit?"

"I don't know." Huang Jin shook his head.

"I don't know? Why don't you know?"

"Then Chen Hong just asked someone to tell me that he wanted to confess. And he only confessed to me, and...he wants you to go too."

A wry smile appeared on Luo Xin's face. He had already realized something, but he didn't refuse, so he got up and said:

"Let's go."

Under the protection of Dongchang Fanzi and Luofu Jiading, the two came to Beizhen Fusi.After getting off the sedan chair, the two of them walked into the gate of Beizhen Fusi, entered the big prison, and came to Chen Hong's cell. Someone had put a table and two chairs in front of the cell. There was a pot of tea, and after Luo Xin and Huang Jin sat down, someone immediately poured tea for the two of them, and said humbly:
"Grandpa Huang, Master Luo, please drink tea."

Huang Jin nodded, first took a sip of tea from the teacup, then looked at Chen Hong in the cell sarcastically and said:

"Speak, Eunuch Chen."

At this time, big drops of sweat were streaming down Chen Hong's forehead, his face was already purple in pain, and the muscles on his face were twitching in pain, but there was also a look of sarcasm in his eyes.

"What do you want to know?"

Seeing the sarcasm in Chen Hong's eyes, Huang Jin felt very uncomfortable, and said in a concentrated voice, "Tell me about the person behind you."

"You really want to know?" The sarcasm in Chen Hong's eyes grew stronger.

"Nonsense!" A trace of anger appeared on Huang Jin's face.

"Well, I'll tell you." The sarcasm on Chen Hong's face became stronger: "It's King Jing."

"It really is him!" Huang Jin's face was full of pride that he had guessed a long time ago, and then he turned to Luo Dao: "Our family has long thought that King Jing is not a good person..."

Huang Jin's expression suddenly froze there, because he found that Luo Xin's face did not have the slightest joy, but a dignified expression.

At this moment, Luo Xin sighed in his heart.Why didn't he guess that King Jing did it?
but……

King Jing is the son of Emperor Jiajing!

Who knows what Emperor Jiajing would think?
Maybe he will kill King Jing, maybe let King Jing return to his fief, maybe put King Jing under house arrest, but maybe he just reprimanded King Jing, instead he will attack Luo Xin and Huang Jin who learned about the scandal of the royal family, and arrest Luo Xin and Huang Jin. Huang Jin killed.

He had thought of this before he came. He could not come, but as long as he didn't come, I'm afraid Chen Hong wouldn't say anything even if he was suffocated to death.Because Chen Hong hated Luo Xin to the bone, without Luo Xin, he would not have fallen to such a point.He was desperately trying to drag Luo Xin into the water.

Therefore, Luo Xin had to come.

Can anyone know about the royal scandal?
If you know it, you have to be prepared to be silenced.So, how could Luo Xin be happy at this time?
Huang Jin wasn't stupid either, he was just stunned by Chen Hong's anger.Seeing Luo Xin's serious face at this time, he also reacted, and his face sank in an instant.Turning around and waiting for Chen Hong to shout angrily:
"Chen Hong, you bastard."

"Chi..." Chen Hong sneered mockingly.

"You, you, you...you are talking nonsense. Yes, you must be talking nonsense. Come here, beat me hard."

"Hahaha..." Chen Hong laughed loudly: "So what if you beat me to death now? I have already confessed, you already know, and you Luo Xin, I will wait for you two on Huangquan Road One, hahaha..."

Seeing several fans walking towards the cell, Luo Xin waved his hands and said, "Slow down."

After a few moments, they stopped and looked back at Luo Xin.Luo Xin looked at the human who recorded the statement:
"Have you written down the confession?"

"Yes!" The scribe's face turned pale, and panic appeared in his eyes.

"Show me."

"Yes!"

The scribe walked up to Luo Xin with the confession and put it on the table.Luo Xin read it from beginning to end, then waved his hands and said:
"Let him draw a bet."

"Yes!"

The scribe walked into the cell with the confession and put it in front of Chen Hong.Chen Hong originally thought that Luo Xin and Huang Jin would panic after hearing his confession, and they never dared to let him be charged.At this moment, he looked at Luo Xin in a panic.

Luo Xin sneered and said, "What? Don't you dare?"

"Why don't you dare? I'm already a dead man!"

When the words fell, Chen Hong took the pen and wrote down his name, then pressed his fingerprints, and threw away the confession:

"Take it!"

The clerk took the confession, trotted to Luo Xin, and handed the confession to Luo Xin.Luo Xin did not look at the confession, but looked at the four fans and a scribe who were here at this time, and said coldly:
"Do you know what the result of this confession to His Majesty is?"

The four fans were a little confused and looked at each other, not knowing why.But the scribe knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said in a trembling voice:

"Please, my lord, let the villain survive. The villain still has an 80-year-old mother at home..."

Luo Xin waved his hand, stopped the clerk and said, "Tell the four of them how powerful Cheng Po is."

The clerk trembled and said Cheng Po fiercely. After all, he is a scholar, so he not only understood thoroughly at this time, but also explained clearly.In this way, even though those four fans were rough people, they all understood what their end was, so they all knelt down.Shouting "Help".

Huang Jin's face was very ugly, and there was fear in his eyes.It was only seeing that Luo Xin was still calm, so he didn't tremble with fright, and only looked at Luo Xin expectantly.

Luo Xin looked at the clerk and the four fans and said, "Remember, you didn't come here today. It's just that I and Eunuch Huang interrogated Chen Hong in secret. No matter who asks, you have to say nothing. I know, you have been guarding outside all the time. You don’t know anything about the secret interrogation of Chen Hong.”

The four fans and the scribe were overjoyed, and kowtowed to Luo Xin, shouting:

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, Eunuch Huang."

Luo Xin handed the confession to Huang Jin and said, "Eunuch Huang, keep it."

"It's still...you take it..." Huang Jin trembled a little.
