Xu Xigao was forgotten pitifully, so he had to cough dryly and said again: "Zhu Cheng, you did a good job."

Zhu Cheng said: "You admire me very much. I thank you, but just say the praises."

Xu Xigao's face turned red again. It seemed that he was the most suitable person to play Guan Gong today. He said, "I'm not praising you. You pretended to be a Hongmei thief and robbed everywhere. Now your case has been revealed."

When Zhu Cheng heard this, he knelt down on the ground. Everyone was shocked. Zhu Cheng changed his nature. Xu Xigao accused him in person. Zhu Cheng didn't make a noise or make a fuss and knelt down and confessed directly. The court, which was a bit noisy, suddenly became quiet because of Zhang Juzheng's case.

Zhu Cheng said: "Emperor, I want to impeach Ding Guo Duke Xu Xigao, who slandered the emperor as a robber."

Xu Xigao was so angry that Xuan didn't take it in one breath and suffocated to death on the spot: "Hu, Hu, Ba, Ba Dao! When did I say such things?"

Zhu Cheng said: "I am a Qianhu of the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei is the emperor's personal army and is carrying out the emperor's orders. You said that I pretended to be a red plum thief, isn't it that the emperor instructed me to do this?"

Wei Zhongxian shouted: "Zhu Cheng, no nonsense. However, Zhu Cheng's words are still reasonable. Without real evidence, you cannot accuse the Jinyiwei at will."

Xu Xigao said: "Of course there is evidence, bring the witness up."

The witness is naturally his son.

Zhu Cheng looked at Xu Ziguang on the single frame and kept twitching: "Who did this? It's so cruel. Alas, it's still a disgrace. It's so pitiful."

Wu Huping followed Zhu Cheng, his belly almost burst out of laughter, and he thought to himself: "It's not your order, now you are acting good people in reverse."

Xu Ziguang said: "Your Majesty, forgive the people who are injured and cannot bow to him."

Emperor Aoki said, "It's okay, tell me what happened."

Xu Ziguang told everything about the day. At the end, Xu Xigao said: "You understand, Zhu Cheng is the culprit."

Zhu Cheng blinked and said, "What do you understand?"

Xu Xigao: "A child led a group of robbers to rob my house. If you are such a capable child, who will be if you are not?"

Zhu Cheng applauded and said, "Duke Ding is easy to infer. The day before yesterday, the window of the imperial village in Jingxi was smashed by a thief. His back was very similar to that of Ding Guo, and it should have been done by Ding Guo. Yesterday, someone made trouble in the children's playground. According to the report of the servant, the main messenger was lying on a single stand, which should have been done by Mr. Xu."

Xu Xigao said angrily: "Nonsense, how could my father and son do such a boring thing?"

Zhu Cheng said: "I made this based on the way of making a case by Duke Ding. A child said it was me, and that old man was you."

Xu Ziguang said: "I recognize your voice, and I recognize your voice when it turns into ashes."

After being beaten, Xu Ziguang seemed to have gained abilities and could actually burn the sound to ashes. It was really rare.

Zhu Cheng said to Emperor Tianqi: "Please find twelve little eunuchs. I will take turns standing behind the screen and talking to see if Xu Ziguang recognizes this or not."

Emperor Tianqi said: "Parent Wei, go and see if there are twelve eunuchs about ten years old in the palace, bring them with you if you have them."

Emperor Tianqi said, giving Wei Zhongxian a wink. Of course, Wei Zhongxian knew what it meant. Even if Emperor Tianqi didn't say it, he would find twelve voices similar to Zhu Cheng.

In front of this shameless trio of monarch and ministers, Xu Ziguang's listening and voice-based method of distinguishing people without a doubt failed.

Xu Xigao was a little panicked and asked calmly: "Zhu Cheng, then I'll ask you, why did the Red Plum Stealing come out as soon as you arrived at the imperial village in Xijing?"

Zhu Cheng no longer argued with Xu Xigao and said directly to Emperor Tianqi: "I have once again impeached Duke Ding and the Lords who wrote letters. I suspect there is no Red Plum thief at all. All of this is their conspiracy. In order to achieve their unspeakable purpose, a Red Plum thief was made up."

When the lords heard this, they were furious and scolded Zhu Cheng for talking nonsense.

Zhu Cheng didn't argue, and took out a map of Beijing and said, "Please ask Eunuch Wei clearly when and where these robberies happened."

Eunuch Wei took the map, picked up a red pen, and asked the Lords to write down the location and time of the robbery. When the Lords heard Zhu Cheng pointing to a deer as a horse, they furiously rushed to the crown. They picked up the pen and pointed out the location of the robbery on the map, and wrote down the time next to them.

Zhang Weixian smelled the danger and did not dare to step forward.

Zhu Cheng smiled. This Zhang Weixian is really a traitor.

Wei Zhongxian took the map to Zhu Cheng and said, "The lords are all people with identities and can't lie. What else do you have to say now?"

Zhu Cheng took out another map and said, "This is the map of the imperial village in Jingxi. Eunuch Wei will know at a glance."

Wei Zhongxian paired the two maps and his eyebrows immediately stood up. He took the map to the Emperor of Apocalypse and said a few words in his ear.

Emperor Tianqi said: "Zhu Cheng is right, these robberies are indeed fictional."

Xu Xigao said anxiously: "People and physical evidence are there, how could there be no robbery?"

Emperor Tianqi threw down the two maps and said, "Look at the good things you did!"

Xu Xigao took the map tremblingly. One was a map of Beijing, with the place where the robbery occurred with a red pen marked on it, and the other was a map of the western imperial village in Jingxi, confirming that the place where the red pen marked was all within the imperial village.

Xu Xigao's face changed drastically. Their land occupied by the imperial village was carried out privately. The land was nominally the emperor, but the rent was collected by them. After occupying more than 20 years, they almost thought that the imperial village was their territory, but they just couldn't say it explicitly. Now they reported that their manor was robbed, but the address of the robbery was in the imperial village. Isn't this saying that the imperial village was their land?

This trap is obvious. The Lords are also very smart and would not have been fooled, but Zhu Chengdong made trouble and grindled away their patience bit by bit. Then he deliberately turned black and white to anger them. Under the turmoil, the Lords naturally fell into the trap.

Seeing that Xu Xigao did not dare to speak, the ministers talked a lot, and knew that there was a major change, but for some reason. Some people even speculated that Zhu Cheng was a demon and there was a magic trick on the map. Xu Xigao was caught after looking at the map.

The lords who wrote the letter took the map from Xu Xigao and were stunned when they saw it. They understood why Zhu Cheng was fearless. He was indeed a meticulous person who acted without any loss of water.

The lords dare not speak, but Zhu Cheng is not a "famous scholar" person. He wants to "take the rest of the courage to pursue the enemy": "The emperor, I impeach Duke Ding and those who painted with red pen on the map. They deliberately framed the Jinyiwei Qianhu, and the crime was extremely serious. Please punish the emperor severely."

The "Ming Dynasty Law" stipulates that if false accusations are falsely accused of the thousand households of the Jinyiwei, the crime is even higher than that. However, the two dukes were removed at once (Zhang Weixian did not use a red pen and escaped), the thirteen marquis and eleven counts were too shocking, and the punishment was too heavy, which would cause the lords to struggle desperately, which was not good for Zhu Cheng.

Emperor Tianqi thought for a while and said, "Your crime is enough to reduce your title. I think your ancestors have made contributions to the Ming Dynasty, so they reduce their crimes by one level and retain their titles, but their salary is deducted. When the salary deducted is equal to the amount you reported, your punishment will be over."

The lords were dejected one by one, and it would be fine if they were robbed by Hongmei. Now even the emperor has begun to rob him. The cooperation between the monarch and the minister is really tacit.

The case of Hongmei theft was closed, and other ministers no longer had any interest in delaying, so Wei Zhongxian announced the severance of the dynasty.
