Xu Wei sighed in his heart. His Majesty was really shallow and had no choice but to explain: "Your Majesty, this move is also aimed at Mr. Zhongxuan."

Emperor Longqing was stunned for a moment before he realized that, indeed, if Wang Bengu succeeded, through Wang Bengu, Zhejiang Governor Hou Ruliang, Ningbo Governor Hu Yingjia, Taizhou Governor Fang Fengshi, Zhejiang General Dong Yikui, Xu Jie could hold business in his hands.

Holding business in his hands, Xu Jie's position will be as stable as Mount Tai. Even if Gao Gong gets Longqing, Xinzhong, it will be difficult for him to turn the tables. He can only stare at Xu Jie honestly.

Emperor Longqing felt a little depressed. In the more than 20 years before him, the emperor's mind was a rumor... But he didn't have to be depressed. Xu Jie, Gao Gong, and Xu Wei were the most scheming talents of this era, and were the top people selected from the cruel imperial examinations.

After thinking silently for a long time, Emperor Longqing waved his hand and asked Duke Cheng to summon Duke Cheng to ask about Wang Yizhi.

After reading the memorial, Duke Cheng bowed for a moment and said, "Wang Yizhi and his five leaders are all in Zhaozhuo. I will go back and interrogate them strictly."

Xu Wei was not worried that he would not be able to be tried. Although Duke Cheng had only taken over as the commander of the Jinyiwei for more than a year, he actually joined the Jinyiwei even earlier than Lu Bing, and his methods were great.

Walking out of the hall side by side, Duke Cheng laughed, "Wen Chang, Zhan Cai is such a good method."

"What does it mean to Cheng Guogong?"

"Zhan just wrote a letter a few months ago, asking me to slow down on Wang Yizhi. Is it today?"

"What are you talking about in Gong Cheng?" Xu Wei said with a smile: "By the way, I heard that Gong Cheng's mansion has built two more gardens outside the city?"

"That's the blessing of yourselves." Duke Cheng patted Xu Wei's shoulder affectionately, "But... Sihai Commercial Bank also has branches in Xiamen and Quanzhou, so it pays a lot of more money."

"You can't pay it off." Xu Wei rolled his eyes, "Anyway, you are all masters who make money!"

Duke Cheng was speechless. Nanjing was a little better. The nobles in Beijing participated in the maritime trade. The ships that went out to sea were not owned. Even if the ship was destroyed and people died... they did not suffer much loss, so they naturally were unwilling to pay insurance.

However, the Sihai Commercial Bank took Suiyuan as its backer and spread south wildly. Duke Cheng Guo did not want to have a gap with Suiyuan because of this little thing, especially after witnessing this memorial today.

After asking a few questions, Duke Cheng immediately went to Zhao Prison and brought Wang Yizhi for a secret trial. Before he could ask, Wang Yizhi was excited, "Are you finally here?"

“…”

"Tell me, I'll do it!"

“…”

"Zhejiang Inspector Wang Bengu sent people to bribe with silver and money repeatedly, and promised to give him a title after resuming business. The villain had no choice but to take the risk, and Zhang Lian was also from Wang Bengu!"

"Nonsense!" Duke Cheng Guo cursed: "Wang Ben is the official of the court. It is possible that you are the adopted son of Jinghai Bo. Then Zhang Lian calls himself the Feilong Emperor, and he is a rebel!"

As a nobleman, Cheng Guogong was with the country. He would not care about Xu Jie. Gao Gong's party struggles for victory or defeat. Even if he prefers Suiyuan because of the profits of the sea trade, the range is very limited.

Wang Ben was a disciple of Xu Jie, and it was okay to associate with Wang Yizhi, but he was connected with Zhang Lian... This was to force Xu Jie to death. Duke Cheng refused to do such a stupid thing.

"Uh..." Wang Yizhi changed his mouth timidly, "That Zhang Lian is not...but Wang Bengu is indeed with the villain..."

Duke Cheng sighed, "Say, write it down."

Next, Wang Yizhi kept talking, and the little official next to him was sore in his hands. Obviously, this abdomen had been typing for a long time.

He waved his hand to let the minor official go down. Duke Cheng picked up the paper and read it. In Wang Yizhi's words, Wang Bengu sent someone to send money and bribes before arriving in Zhenhai. He was dissatisfied with Wang Zhi's unfair handling of the matter. Later, Wang Zhi was forced to flee Zhoushan. He and Wang Bengu secretly agreed to take Wang Zhi to replace him, and set a date to assassinate Wang Zhi, and the official army attacked the island in order to win.

"Cough cough." Duke Cheng stood up and walked to Wang Yizhi, lowered his body and asked in a low voice: "What did Qian Zhan hold you?"

Wang Yizhi looked up expressionlessly, then lowered her head and said nothing.

Wang Yizhi was the adopted son of Wang Zhi, from Wuyuan. Wuyuan was divided into Jiangxi Province in later generations, but it was one of the six counties in Huizhou during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Wang Yizhi's mother, wife, three sons, two daughters and husband were all detained.

Wang Yizhi knew very well that Qian Yuan could have a way out. If it fell into Wang Zhi and Mao Haifeng's hands, they would have to be cut one by one.

In two days, the news of the retrial of Wang Ben's disaster in the Southeast spread throughout the capital, including Suiyuan's contribution, but the greater contribution lies in Emperor Longqing... He wanted to force Xu Jie to abdicate and give way to the wise.

Unfortunately, Xu Jie's face was thicker than Xu Wei described, and he hid at home without saying a word.

Xu Jie has been in Beijing for decades and has been in a mixed manner. He has learned the content of Hou Ruliang's impeachment memorial through secret channels and has also known Wang Yizhi's confession.

However, there is still a difference from the previous one that cannot be hiding out. He was a clerk and his disciples never met him.

Because, he doesn't know who else can trust?

In addition to Hou Ruliang, Fang Fengshi also selected all of them carefully... The ungrateful wolf.

Maybe you can trust Hu Yingjia?

But Xu Jie had a bad premonition, and the reason was very simple. Qian Yuan could take Hou Ruliang, Fang Fengshi, and Wang Yizhi colluded with him to abdicate. Will he ignore Hu Yingjia, the world's number one prefect?

Hou Ruliang's previous memorial made Xu Jie secretly happy, but before he could be happy until the next day, he turned around and threw himself into Suiyuan's arms.

Although I don’t know the details, Xu Jie could judge that shipping must be a very important part of the transaction.

Hou Ruliang is talking about shipping, and Qian Yuan is likely to win over Hou Ruliang with this.

He pushed everything on the table away with his efforts. Xu Jie's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot and he said to himself, "If I had known today, if I had known today..."

It’s a disaster. If I had known this day, the time I met in Jiajing in the 34th year, I should have strangled that guy to death!

At this time, a cautious knock on the door sounded.

"Come in."

The old butler walked in the door lightly, as if he hadn't seen the mess on the ground, and said softly: "My lord."

Xu Jie nodded silently and sighed deeply.

The next day, the news had dispersed. The former Zhejiang Inspector Wang Bengu was taken back to the capital by the Tiqi and committed suicide.

Xu Wei in Suiyuan commented, "Huating used common methods, but he had to do it."

Indeed, Yan Shifan was still vivid in his mind. Who knows whether Wang Bengu committed suicide or was killed?

Indeed, Xu Jie had no choice but to do it. Qian Yuan must be prepared for this as a backup plan. Will Xu Jie tolerate Wang Bengu safely returning to Beijing for trial?

This was not Qian Yuan's plan, but Xu Wei's secret push. He did not deliberately remind Emperor Longqing and Duke Cheng of silence, just to make a fuse for Xu Jie.

Although Xu Jie succeeded, it also represents the complete wavering of the foundation of the Xu Party’s power.

It is understandable to kill Yan Shifan.
