Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 508
In the capital of Ming Dynasty, there was an inconspicuous house somewhere.

No one knows that this seemingly inconspicuous place is the secret residence of Hu Jiucheng, the boss of Xichang.

It's not that Hu Jiucheng is low-key, but because of the nature of his profession, he must try his best to blend in with ordinary people.

This point is similar to Sun Dong, neither of them is the master of Zhang Yang, otherwise they would not gain Ye Xun's absolute trust.

Shuzhong has sent back news that Ye Xun is about to leave Shuzhong and return to Beijing, and before Ye Xun arrives in Beijing, Hu Jiucheng also has to complete one thing, an absolutely confidential thing.

Although Hu Jiucheng's yard is small, what people don't know is that there are tunnels extending in all directions under the yard.

With the current status of Xichang, tunnels are of course not used for escaping, but for delivering messages and orders, because only in this way can people truly be invisible.

Under the dim candlelight, two men in black knelt in front of Hu Jiucheng. From the reaction of their bodies, it was not difficult to see that they were very scared now, and they had obviously done something wrong.

"Before my father-in-law left, I entrusted such an important matter to me, but I never expected that you would mess it up. Tell me! What should I do?"

A person who has been in the top position for a long time has a certain power in his gestures. Although Hu Jiucheng is like a small follower in front of Ye Xun, he is also the master who can make his subordinates breathless in front of his subordinates.

"My lord doesn't know, it's not because my brother shirked responsibility, it's because those people appeared too suddenly, my brother was caught off guard, and that's why they got it."

A man in black said without raising his head.

Hu Jiucheng frowned, and continued to ask: "Do you know who they are? How is that person?"

Another man in black said: "That person was taken away by them. From the figure and kung fu of those people, my subordinates analyzed that they should be Japanese."

"Japanese?"

Hu Jiucheng knew that the Japanese martial arts were very different from the Central Plains martial arts, and they were very recognizable. Could it be that these people wanted to divert their attention by exposing such obvious flaws?
Hu Jiucheng is undoubtedly a very smart person. Ever since the queen gave birth to the prince, he had an intuition that the child born by the queen is likely to be Ye Xun's. That is to say, the Eunuch Ye they admired is actually a fake eunuch.

After reaching this conclusion, Hu Jiucheng himself was startled, but reason told him that no matter whether it was true or not, he had to rot in his stomach, otherwise, with Ye Xun's method, he would die in an ugly way.

Since the child born by the queen may be Ye Xun's child, then this child will definitely ascend to the throne in the future, so should he do something before that?
The emperor Zhu Youxiao is already half dead, and he may die at any time. If Zhu Youxiao dies and the prince is too young, will the ministers choose another emperor from the royal family?
The answer is very likely, and the biggest candidate is Xin Wang Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian was imprisoned in Xinwang's mansion, and he has always been honest. According to Ye Xun's thinking, he planned to let him hang up unknowingly after he took office, so that no one would associate the death of Xinwang with Ye Xun got in touch.

Now that Ye Xun was not at home, Hu Jiucheng made up his own mind and planned to send Zhu Youjian off in advance, but he didn't want to be intercepted halfway, and let him be robbed if he didn't kill him.

To Hu Jiucheng, this was not only a great shame and humiliation, but if it got to Ye Xun's ears, his flattering behavior would probably be self-defeating.

However, this matter has developed to the present, but there has been a reversal that no one expected. A brother of the emperor who is under house arrest, who would be interested in abducting him?What's the use of taking him away?
"Give you two bastards a chance to secretly search for the whereabouts of these people. Don't be alarmed when you find them, and report back to me immediately."

"My lord, don't worry, we will mobilize all the brothers to investigate, and we will never let those bastards escape."

Before the man in black finished speaking, Hu Jiucheng waved him away. After his subordinate missed, he reported himself immediately, and Xichang immediately mobilized, so Hu Jiucheng felt that he should still be in the city.

After pondering for a while, he went to his desk and sent a secret report to Ye Xun. Of course, he couldn't say that he started this matter, he had to wash himself clean first.

"Come here, prepare the sedan chair, I'm going to see Elder Yang Ge"

Yang Sichang is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and he once taught Zhu Youjian. Although he has been on Ye Xun's side since then, who can guarantee that this matter has nothing to do with him?
In fact, if Ye Xun were to consider this matter, he would not have taken Yang Sichang into consideration, because the cabinet headed by Yang Sichang was the biggest beneficiary of Ye Xun's absence for nearly half a year.

There is no emperor to restrain him, there are no powerful ministers in the court, and scholars in Yishui are in power. Once upon a time, wasn't this the goal pursued by the Donglin party members?
It's a pity that the Donglin party members didn't see the situation clearly and didn't stand in line, but Yang Sichang and others were right.

How could Yang Sichang participate in Zhu Youjian's affairs if he could give full play to his political opinions in the court?

Yang Sichang met Hu Jiucheng in the inner study. Yang Sichang could be arrogant in front of others, but he still behaved very modestly in front of this big spy chief.

After listening to Hu Jiucheng's introduction, Yang Sichang frowned deeply.

Obviously, the person who did this must be Ye Xun's opponent, but Ye Xun's opponents are too many, too numerous to count, without a definite goal, it is really difficult to sort out the clues.

"Elder Ge, I have mobilized the staff of the West Factory to carry out open and unannounced visits to the whole city, and Jin Yiwei also said hello, but I think it is not enough. Elder Ge sees if this is okay. We announced to the outside world that King Xin died of a sudden illness, so it should be We can test out the reactions of all parties.”

Hearing Hu Jiucheng's words, Yang Sichang pondered for a moment, and just about to speak, he suddenly realized that this bastard is not trying to test others, maybe he is testing Lao Tzu, right?
Thinking of this, he nodded his head and said, "That's a good idea. These people must have some ulterior motive in robbing King Xin. As long as the news of King Xin's death spreads, all rumors will be self-defeating."

"By the way, it's almost the Chinese New Year, so it's time for Eunuch Ye to come back?"

Hu Jiucheng nodded, thinking that this old fox changed his tone quite quickly.

"How can I know the whereabouts of the father-in-law? Since the elder also agrees with this method, I will start to implement it immediately, and I will leave!"

It is really rare for two people who are not on the same road to talk for so long. Hu Jiucheng would rather go to the prison to interrogate the prisoners than deal with these sanctimonious scholars. After saluting, he turned and strode away.

Looking at the back of Hu Jiucheng going away, Yang Sichang curled his lips in disdain at first, then frowned again, who kidnapped King Xin?What is the intention of kidnapping King Xin?
