Chapter 1168
Liu Xingzuo also glanced at him, and said coldly: "If you want to say that this matter was instructed by your gang leader, then there is no need. Your Majesty only pardoned you, not your money gang. How dare you kidnap officials so blatantly?" The family will definitely pay the price!"

The middle-aged man was not surprised when he heard this.At this time, he looked at the Emperor Chongzhen, who had been kneeling on the ground instead of limp on the ground, and said again: "Your Majesty, the kidnapping of Chen's Xiao Er by the Caomin was indeed appointed by the gang leader, but according to Caomin Watch, it's not just blackmail."

Those who mess around are all seeking money.What kind of loyalty in the world is for sale, it is nothing more than whether the benefits are enough.Now I have an opportunity to express myself in front of the most powerful people in the world. This kind of people in the world, not to mention gang leaders, even their biological parents are useless.

Upon hearing his words, Emperor Chongzhen was a little surprised that there was another inside story.He immediately thought of what this person said before, as if he was backed by people in the officialdom.Originally thought that what he said was just like he moved out of the Taihu Gang, just to scare people.If he said there was love, then it should be this, right?
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and said lightly: "Speak!"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly replied: "The leader told us to tie up the child of the Chen family and hide him. But our leader didn't dare to do this before because... Because of entrustment."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen became a little interested, and asked again: "Who entrusted you?"

"Caomin don't know." The middle-aged man replied, and when he saw Emperor Chongzhen's face seemed to sink a bit, he quickly added an explanation: "Caomin really doesn't know. My family leader often meets with a mysterious person who always avoids us." Yes, I won’t say anything about it afterwards. This time, after meeting that mysterious person again, we were asked to kidnap the Chen family’s youngest child. Cao Min reckons that this matter is definitely not as simple as extorting money!”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but think of Wu Ergou's previous confession that they were the ones who helped to instigate a mysterious person to counterfeit banknotes.After the ax gang was taken away, the mysterious man did not show up, and the clues were cut off.This time, unexpectedly encountered a similar situation.

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

"Returning to Your Majesty, Chief Chen is very strong, and he will not sell anyone who gets it. There are many clansmen working for him. On the government side, there are... the relationship with the emperor, and they are very tough." The middle-aged man quickly He replied, "So most of us in Jianghu are just begging for food. We dare not offend Chen Xiangchang, let alone kidnap his only son!"

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

When Liu Xingzuo saw it, he immediately asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, no matter what the conspiracy is, I will eventually take the money gang and even the people and nests, and I will be able to find out the inside story!"

He knew that since this was not an ordinary extortion of money, there must be some kind of conspiracy against Chief Chen.And the emperor is very concerned about Chen Xiangchang, seeing that Nanxun Town under his rule is good, he appreciates Chen Xiangchang.Now that we have encountered this matter, with the emperor's temper, he must find out.Therefore, he took the initiative to take over the matter.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Don't startle the snake for the time being. Since the other party avoids others every time and only sees them as the leader, they must not want others to know their identity. Since I have encountered this matter, this time You have to find out who is behind the scenes."

Anyway, there is plenty of time for this micro-service tour, so I can stay in Nanxun Town for a few more days.

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the middle-aged man and asked, "I want to find out who is trying to deal with Chief Chen. Do you have a way?"

Hearing the emperor asking himself, the middle-aged man was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to show his joy on the surface, and quickly replied: "Your Majesty was right just now, and the Caomin also thought that this matter should not startle the snake. The Caomin went back and told the leader, and said The child of the Chen family has already been tied up. In this way, the leader will definitely contact that person. The villain will be careful, and he will definitely know the identity of that person."

Speaking of this, he thought of something, and quickly added: "There are too many times, in fact, the mysterious person didn't pay much attention to us as he did at the beginning. And the villain is good at following and stepping on the field, so the villain is sure, the villain I am willing to take credit for my crime and bring this person out."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while.This matter is not as simple as kidnapping and extorting, then according to what this person said, maybe the mysterious person can really be caught.Even if he couldn't catch him, judging by his next move, he should be able to know the purpose of instructing the people in the world to kidnap the Chen family's child.

Thinking about it this way, Emperor Chongzhen stared at the middle-aged man, and said in a less cold tone: "Okay, I will trust you just once, and I hope you will behave well."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and told Liu Xingzuo, "Your Majesty, please follow up on this matter. I won't go to see Chief Chen for now. Just wait here and see the situation before we talk about it!"

"Observe the order!" Liu Xingzuo immediately agreed upon hearing this.

The middle-aged man was happy to hear that, as long as he behaved well this time, the emperor would definitely be able to get on board.Even if the emperor doesn't reward him, just because of this incident, the village head Chen can still get involved.

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

Emperor Chongzhen squatted down at this time, looked at the Chen family child who had become clean and said: "You can't go home for the time being, I didn't help you fight last time, this time I will help you find the bad guys, okay?" it is good?"

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

Emperor Chongzhen patted his head, turned his head and said to the two noble concubines beside him: "These few days, let's rest here for a while, I want to see, who is plotting and tricking?"

For Hai Lanzhu and Concubine Tian, ​​this kind of thing is also rare to come across, and now they bumped into it during a private visit on their micro-services.

After talking here for a while, Liu Xingzuo came in after arranging things outside, and briefly reported the situation to Emperor Chongzhen, saying: "The last general has sent people to control his family secretly, and also sent people to secretly monitor the situation. Chief Chen's side. Any move, the general will definitely be able to control it."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded, recalled what he had just thought, and ordered again: "What's the matter with the Taihu Gang?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Taihu Gang relies on Taihu Lake, and they often deal with the government, but they can't be wiped out." Liu Xingzuo replied with a serious face, "The general thinks that this situation is due to the ineffectiveness of the local army and the ineffectiveness of the local army. The eyeliner of those thieves is hard to wipe out!"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "The troops of the guards who don't go out to fight can't eat their own food. I will issue an order to let the troops of the guards take action to destroy the powerful gangs everywhere. But before that, Jin Yiwei must also take action to obtain information for the army to attack. 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.”

"The last general obeys the order!" Liu Xingzuo immediately responded when he heard it.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen turned his thoughts back to the present moment. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said with a smile: "I'm afraid Chen Youming will be worried. After the thief gets in touch, I will tell him quietly to make him feel at ease. I will just watch it coldly, but I want to see it." , Where are the ghosts and snakes, what exactly are they trying to do?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Liu Xingzuo replied with a smile when he heard it, "You can't tell Chief Chen in advance, lest he be seen by others."

In fact, in his heart, if he followed his ideas, he would never tell Chen Youming and wait until the truth came out.From his point of view, the emperor's heart is still a little softer, for fear that Chen Xiangchang will be too worried.

On this point, he actually misunderstood Emperor Chongzhen.For Emperor Chongzhen, he was satisfied with what Chen Youming had done so far.He didn't want to test human nature anymore, otherwise, if he didn't tell Chen Youming all the time, he was threatened by monsters and monsters, and finally did some bad things, how would he deal with it?Instead of doing this, it is better to cut off this possibility in advance.

Just as Emperor Chongzhen expected, when the sun was about to set, Chen Youming's daughter-in-law was anxious and rushed to Chen Youming's official office before his son came back.

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

The most meaningful thing is that the emperor and the imperial concubine once lived in this house.In layman's terms, this place has the spirit of a dragon, and it would be strange to live in such a good place if you live in a government office.

As far as the official system of the Ming Dynasty is concerned, there is a notable feature, that is, there are few officials.Even though Emperor Chongzhen has now promoted the transformation of yamen officials into officials, overall, there are still too few officials.

Against such a background, it is even less likely that there will be many officials in the lowest level of administrative system.Chen Youming is the mayor of the township, but the Nanxun Town under his control is full of dragons and snakes, and the trading volume of Husi is astonishingly large. Naturally, he is very busy every day, not to mention, it is now time for the first batch of Husi to go on the market.

In the midst of his busy schedule, Chen Youming heard that his wife was coming, and after hearing what she said worriedly, he didn't care at first and said, "Ma'am, I'm already so busy, so don't make trouble. It's not even dark yet. Come down, maybe, Zhong'er is fascinated by some excitement! When it gets dark, Uncle Chen will naturally take him home."

"Master, this concubine is very panicked." Hearing this, his daughter-in-law said worriedly, "Although Zhong'er said that he would come home late, it will be dark soon, so he has never been home so late!"

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

After finishing speaking, seeing that his wife still wanted to say something, he took a step ahead and said, "Besides, Zhong'er is a blessed person. Look at the world, who can have the luck of Zhong'er? I met the emperor and noble concubine when I was young, and we can chat together, right?"

"Okay, I'll go back when I'm done with the work at hand, that kid actually made his mother so worried, look at me not spanking his ass!" After Chen Youming finished speaking, he hurriedly turned to the front office to deal with business .

Seeing her daughter-in-law, there was nothing she could do about it. Her husband was really busy, or was he really attracted by the excitement as he said?

When it got dark, Chen Youming hurried home with his son in mind.

His house has been expanded on the basis of the original one.The newly built house is about three times the size of the previous one, enclosing the old house.Among them, the house where Emperor Chongzhen lived was solemnly confessed, or surrounded, and no one else was allowed to enter.Even if Shangguan came to visit, he could only take a look at the door.

Just arrived at the door of the house, Chen Youming asked the concierge who greeted him first, "When did Zhong'er go home?"

In his opinion, Madam's worries are unnecessary.However, he decided that in order not to worry his wife, he had to train his son well.

"Master, the young master hasn't come back yet. Madam is dying of anxiety and is going to find you!"

Chen Youming was taken aback by the concierge's answer, and then became anxious. He strode inside and said loudly, "What's the matter? Why hasn't this little bastard come back yet? Where's Uncle Chen?"

At this time, hearing the movement, her wife came out immediately, seeing her like that, almost crying.He held his daughter tightly with one hand, as if he was afraid that her daughter would disappear, so Chen Youming quickly sent more people out to look for her.

It's dark today, and I haven't come back yet.If it's just a child, maybe they are playful or something.But the children's school said that if Uncle Chen picked him up, it would be impossible for him to have no sense of time.That said, something might have happened.

Thinking of this, Chen Youming also panicked, and immediately mobilized his staff to look for it.

As a result, Nanxun Town, which had been quiet because of the darkness, became lively again.There are people holding lanterns and torches everywhere, shouting and looking for them everywhere.

"Chen Jingzhong, go home!"

"Has anyone seen Chen Jingzhong?"

"..."

When other people in Nanxun Town heard that the mayor's son was missing, they immediately helped to find him.All of a sudden, people in and out of town were looking for Chen Jingzhong.

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help being a little strange when he heard the shouting in the room, and asked, "Why did you change your name?"

This name always reminded him of Geng Jingzhong, which was a little awkward.However, on this plane, Geng Jingzhong is still working under the command of Dongjiang Army and Lu Xiangsheng, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"My father changed it, saying that when I grow up, I will serve the country loyally!" The little boy replied heartlessly, without worrying that people outside would call his name, and ate delicious pastries.

Naturally, man is impossible to find.Nanxun town was noisy all night, and after dawn the next day, this matter quickly spread to the surrounding area.

 Thank you Silver Dragon Cavalry for your reward!
