Liu Xingzuo also glanced at him and said coldly: "If you want to say that this is the instructions of your gang leader, then there is no need. Your Majesty just pardoned you, and did not pardon your gang. If you dare to kidnap the family of officials so blatantly, you will definitely pay the price!"

The middle-aged man was not surprised when he heard this. At this time, he looked at Emperor Chongzhen. The person who had fallen softly to the ground had turned into kneeling there and reported again: "Your Majesty, Caomin kidnapped the Chen family waiter because he was indeed appointed by the gang leader, but according to Caomin's observation, this is not just blackmail."

Those who are in the world are all for money. All the loyalty in the world are used to sell, but it is just whether the interests are enough. Now there is a chance to show yourself in front of the most powerful person in the world. Such people in the world, let alone the leader of the gang, are useless even for biological parents.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard what he said, he was a little surprised and there was something else inside. He immediately remembered what this person said before, as if he was saying that he was backing up by the officialdom. He originally thought that what he said was just like he moved out of the Taihu Gang to scare people. If he said he had a love affair, then this should be it?

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and said lightly: "Tell me!"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he did not dare to neglect it and quickly replied: "This matter was explained by the gang leader, so we tied up the Chen family's children and hid. However, the gang leader did not dare to have this courage before because... because he was entrusted by someone."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he became interested and asked again: "Who is it entrusted by him?"

"Caomin doesn't know." The middle-aged man replied, and then saw that Emperor Chongzhen's face seemed a little calmer, he quickly added and explained: "Caomin really doesn't know. The leader of my family often meets a mysterious person, and he always hides from us, and does not say anything afterwards. This time, after seeing that mysterious person again, we asked us to tie the child of the Chen family. Caomin estimated that this matter was definitely not as simple as extorting money!"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but remember that Wu Ergou had confessed that they had helped to forge paper money. After the Axe Gang was taken, the mysterious man did not show up and the clues were cut off. This time, he encountered a similar situation again.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen asked in a deep voice: "How do you know that kidnapping the Chen child is not extorting money?"

"If you say goodbye to Your Majesty, Township Mayor Chen is very strong and will not sell anyone's account. Many of his clansmen serve him. In the government, there are... the relationship between the emperor, and they are very hard." The middle-aged man replied quickly, "So most of our people in the world are just asking for food. We dare not offend Township Mayor Chen, let alone kidnap his only son!"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly and glanced at Liu Xingzuo.

When Liu Xingzuo saw this, he immediately asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, no matter what conspiracy, I will take the money gang and even the nest, so I will definitely find out the inside story!"

He knew that since this matter was not an ordinary blackmail, there must be some conspiracy against the township chief Chen. The emperor cared about the township chief Chen very much. Seeing that Nanxun Town under his rule was good, he admired the township chief Chen. Since he encountered this incident, with the emperor's temper, he must figure it out. Therefore, he took the initiative to take over the matter.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said, "Don't alert the snake for the time being. Since the other party avoids others and only sees the person they are in charge, he definitely doesn't want people to know their identity. Since I have encountered this incident, I have to find out the people behind the scenes this time."

Anyway, this time I went on a mini-dress tour, so I could stay in Nanxun Town for more days.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he turned to look at the middle-aged man and asked, "I want to find out, who wants to deal with Township Chief Chen? Do you have a solution?"

When the emperor asked him, the middle-aged man was happy, but he didn't dare to show his joy on the surface, and quickly replied: "Your Majesty was right just now, and Caomin thought that this matter could not be alarmed. Caomin went back to tell the gang leader, and said that the child of the Chen family had been tied up. In this way, the gang leader would definitely contact the person. The villain was careful and would know the identity of the person."

Speaking of this, he thought of something and quickly added: "There are so many times that the mysterious man did not care about us as much as he did at the beginning. The villain is good at following the tramplings, so the villain is confident that the villain is willing to sacrifice his merits and get this person out."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it. This matter is not as simple as kidnapping and extortion. According to what this person said, or he could really catch the mysterious person. Even if he couldn't catch it, he should know the purpose of his instructions to kidnap the Chen family's children by looking at his next move.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen stared at the middle-aged man, his tone was no longer so cold: "Okay, I will believe you once, and I hope you will perform well."

After saying that, he turned around and ordered Liu Xingzuo and said, "You follow up on this matter. I won't go to see the village chief Chen for now. Just wait here and see the situation before talking about it!"

"Abide by the order!" Liu Xingzuo quickly agreed when he heard this.

The middle-aged man was happy to hear that as long as he performed well this time, the emperor would definitely be able to get a name. Even if the emperor didn't reward him, just relying on this matter, Township Mayor Chen could also get in touch with him.

So, he obediently listened to the arrangement of the Jinyiwei Captain and was taken out of the house.

At this point, Emperor Chongzhen squatted down and looked at the clean-clear Chen child and said, "You can't go home yet. I didn't help you fight last time. I'll help you pull out the bad guys this time, okay?"

Hearing this, the Chen child nodded vigorously and said, "Okay!"

Emperor Chongzhen touched his head, turned his head to the two concubines beside him and said, "We will take a break here in the past few days. I want to see who is doing something conspiracy?"

For Concubine Hai Lanzhu and Tian, ​​this kind of thing is rare. Now they are hit by their private visits. I think it's fun. The emperor asked it again, so naturally there will be no objection.

After talking for a while, Liu Xingzuo had already arranged things outside and came in. He briefly reported the situation to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "The General of the Mo has sent someone to secretly control his family, and in addition, he has also sent someone to secretly monitor the Minister Chen's side. Any move will definitely be able to control it."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded after hearing this, remembered what he had just thought of, and then ordered: "What's going on with that Taihu Gang?"

"Go back to your Majesty, the Taihu Gang relies on Taihu Lake and always deals with the government, and cannot be wiped out." Liu Xingzuo replied with a serious expression, "The last general thinks that in this situation, first, the local army is not effective in attacking, and second, there are the thieves in the local area, so it is difficult to wipe out!"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen pondered for a moment, he ordered: "The army of the garrisons who did not go out to fight cannot have enough food. I will issue an order to let the army of each garrison take action and destroy the large gangs in various places. However, before this, the Jinyiwei must also take action to obtain information for the army to advance and suppress. Isn't that Wu Ergou in Yingtian Mansion? Increase support for him and let the people of the jianghu deal with the people of the jianghu."

"I will obey the order!" Liu Xingzuo responded immediately when he heard this.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen turned his mind back to the present moment. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said with a smile: "Chen Youming is afraid that he will be worried. After the thief contacts, he will tell him quietly to make him feel at ease. I just watched coldly, but I wanted to see what the monsters and monsters are trying to do?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Liu Xingzuo replied with a smile when he heard this, "You can't tell Township Chief Chen in advance, so as not to be seen by others."

In fact, in his heart, if he did what he thought, he would not tell Chen Youming until the truth came to light. In his opinion, the emperor's heart was still a little softer, afraid that Township Mayor Chen would be too worried.

In this regard, he actually misunderstood Emperor Chongzhen. For Emperor Chongzhen, he was already satisfied with what Chen Youming has done. He didn't want to test human nature anymore, otherwise if he didn't tell Chen Youming, he was threatened by monsters and monsters and eventually did some bad things. What should he do? Instead of doing this, it's better to cut off this possibility in advance.

As Emperor Chongzhen expected, when the sun was about to set, before his son could come back, Chen Youming's wife became anxious and rushed to Chen Youming's official office.

Generally speaking, the government offices are divided into front and back, and the rear offices are the residence of the chief official. However, Chen Youming is an official in his own town and has his own house.

The most meaningful thing is that there were emperors and imperial concubines living in this house. In layman's terms, this is a dragon-like spirit. If you don't live in such a good place, it would be strange if you go to the government office.

As for the official system of the Ming Dynasty, there is a significant feature, which is that there are few officials. Even if Emperor Chongzhen is now promoting the transformation of officials in the yamen into officials, overall, there are still too few officials.

Under such a broad background, it is even more unlikely that more officials will be officials with the lowest level administrative system. Chen Youming is the township chief, but Nanxun Town where he is in charge is mixed, and the transaction volume of lake silk is amazing, so he is naturally busy every day, not to mention that it is time for the first batch of lake silk to be listed.

During the real busy schedule, Chen Youming heard his wife come to him and said worriedly, he said, "Madam, I'm so busy, don't cause trouble. It's not dark yet. Maybe Zhong'er will be fascinated by the excitement! When it gets dark, Uncle Chen will naturally take him home."

"Master, I'm so panicked." When his wife heard this, she said worriedly, "Although Zhong'er returned late, it was dark this day and she didn't get home so late!"

"What are you afraid of?" Chen Youming said disapprovingly, "What else can happen in his Nanxun Town?"

After saying that, when he saw his wife still wanted to say it, he took the lead and said, "Besides, Zhonger is a blessed person. Look at the world, who can have Zhonger's luck? He met the emperor and the imperial concubine at such a young age and could chat together. Right?"

"Okay, I'll go back after I finish my work. That kid actually made his mother so worried. Seeing that I won't hit him, she would bloom!" After Chen Youming finished speaking, he hurried to the front office to handle the business.

When her wife saw her, she had no choice but to see her husband. Her husband was really busy, or was attracted by the excitement of what his husband said?

When it got dark, Chen Youming was worried about his son and hurried home.

His house has been expanded on the original basis. The newly built house is about three times that of the past, surrounding the old house. Among them, the houses that Emperor Chongzhen lived in are even solemnly offered, or they are surrounded. No one can enter. Even if Shangguan comes to visit, he can only look at the door.

As soon as he arrived at the doorstep, Chen Youming asked the doorman who was coming and said, "When will Zhong'er go home?"

In his opinion, the wife's worries were redundant. However, he decided that in order not to worry, he had to train his son well.

"Master, the young master has not come back yet. The lady is so anxious that she is about to go find you!"

The doorman's answer made Chen Youming stunned, and then he became anxious. While strode inside, he shouted: "What's going on? Why has this little bastard not come back yet? What about Uncle Chen?"

At this time, when she heard the movement, her wife immediately came out. Seeing her like that, she almost cried anxiously. She held her daughter with one hand, as if she was afraid that her daughter would disappear, so she asked Chen Youming to send more people out to look for it.

It was dark this day and I haven't come back yet. If it were just a child, I might be playing around. But the children's school said that Uncle Chen took him away, then it would be impossible for him to have no idea of ​​time. This means that something might happen.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Youming was panicked and immediately mobilized people to find him.

So, Nanxun Town, which had originally been quiet because it was dark, became lively again. People holding lanterns and torches were shouting everywhere and searching everywhere.

"Chen Jingzhong, I'm back home!"

"Who has seen Chen Jingzhong?"

“…”

When the others in Nanxun Town heard that the township chief's son had disappeared, they immediately helped to find him. For a moment, everyone in and outside the town was looking for Chen Jingzhong.

Emperor Chongzhen heard the shouting in the room and couldn't help but feel a little surprised and asked, "Why did you change your name?"

This name always reminds him of Geng Jingzhong, which is a little awkward. However, on this plane, Geng Jingzhong is still doing things under the command of Dongjiang Army and Lu Xiangsheng, without any mistakes.

"My father changed it. He said that I will serve the country with loyalty when I grow up!" The little brat was heartless and didn't worry at all that people outside called him, and answered while eating delicious pastries.

Naturally, it is impossible for people to find it. Nanxun Town was in trouble all night, and after dawn the next day, the incident quickly spread around the surrounding area.
