Sun Chengzong nodded and said, "Today, the only one who can persuade the emperor is the Empress Dowager."

Everyone in the Ming Dynasty knew that Empress Dowager Zhang and Zhu Xu's sister-in-law and mother were fostered in Kunning Palace when they were young.

King Jing was also sure, looked around everyone and said, "The hunting ends one day. The queen gave birth to the prince. When everyone celebrates together, should we go and congratulate?"

Bi Ziyan and others also wanted to confirm it again, looked at Sun Chengzong, pondered, and said, "The prince said it is reasonable. Let's do this, I, Master Sun Ge, Prince Jing, and Lord Fu, the four of us went there, and there were too many people, and there were inevitably many people. There were still people in the hunting process. The government affairs in the capital could not be delayed,"

Everyone had no objection, so the matter was settled.

Bi Ziyan added another sentence and said, "Baigu, after you go back, find Eunuch Cao and Eunuch Liu to record them. Also, this matter should be spread quietly."

Everyone was shocked and nodded silently. The current methods are amazing, so it wouldn't be surprising if there were any changes. All they had to do was to accomplish great things, so as not to happen.

When the court breathed a sigh of relief, Gong Dingzi and his men had already arrived at Yangzhou Prefecture, but did not show up immediately, but instead conducted a secret investigation.

At this time, an official from Yangzhou Prefecture had long been detained. Feng Jiangfeng, the right sergeant of Jiangsu, was in charge of the charge and investigating everything.

In the Yangzhou Prefecture Office and the backyard, Feng Jiangfeng was reviewing the former prefect of Yangzhou Prefecture, the Minister of the Prefecture and others.

These people all had extremely wronged expressions, knelt in front of Feng Jiangfeng without saying a word.

Feng Jiangfeng has a tough personality and acts fiercely. He sits on a chair, and behind him are the constables of the Criminal Office.

He stared at the Yangzhou prefect, who was in a state of hardship, and said in a cold voice: "Honestly, explain everything to me, word by word, you should be clear. Even if this matter is usually a major matter that damages the face of the court and the dignity of the national body. If you say something wrong, you hide it by one word. I can guarantee that no one of your tribes can escape from three generations!"

Yang Xuekun, the governor of Yangzhou, trembled all over, smiled bitterly, and his head hit the ground, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Feng, it was not done by the lower official. On the painting boat that day, there were indeed prostitutes to accompany him, but after he got ashore, he was driven away by the original official. The judge Qin Tong said he wanted to make friends and left alone, and the lower official didn't know when he came back and how he died..."

Feng Jiangfeng looked at the four Ren kneeling on the ground with a very embarrassed expression and said, "Are all the people in your Yangzhou Prefecture dead? A living person came back with two prostitutes and took aphrodisiacs. He eventually died of yang and did not see anyone?"

Yang Xuekun knocked his head on the ground, unable to see his expression, but his voice was bitter, and he said, "Mr. Feng, the lower official was designed by someone. This matter must be deliberately blamed by someone. Master Feng, you must be careful..."

Feng Jiangfeng snorted coldly and said, "Governor Fang often praises you, saying that you act boldly and cautiously, you are a person who does big things, and you are also planning to recommend you as a senator, but you didn't expect that you were so confused!"

Yang Xuekun now had no choice but to speak out, so he could only kneel on the ground and shout for justice, saying, "Mr. Feng, the official... is really unfair."

Yang Xuekun Li was helpless and had no choice but to do anything, from the inside out, there was helplessness and despair.

At this time, a government chief took the lead and said, "Mr. Feng, as long as you find those prostitutes, the truth will be revealed."

Feng Jiangfeng snorted coldly and said, "I know it was a plan set by someone else. Can those prostitutes still survive? Can't I have no clues?"

The few people were choked and couldn't say a word.

This happened so suddenly that they had no reaction at all. They thought carefully these days and found that the dealings with Zhou Tongzong were too normal and there was no flaw to follow!

They are not constables, so they don’t know any clues.

Feng Jiangfeng looked at the people and his tone became colder and said, "No matter what the truth of this case is, you guys will never redeem them. Wait for death!"

Feng Jiangfeng was furious and turned around and left.

He was really angry. He was angry with the villain behind the scenes. He couldn't count on these bastards at all. The consequences of anger were too great, and even the Jiangsu Governor's Office could not withstand it!

As soon as Feng Jiangfeng left, Yang Xuekun and others were immediately escorted and taken to the backyard.

Although they were guilty, the case still had to be investigated. They could only take care of it and could not do anything.

Feng Jiangfeng is now in a state of great impatience. This incident is in full swing in Jiangzuo, and the entire Jiangsu government is disgraced. If it cannot be dealt with as soon as possible, the storm will be even greater and the court may not be able to suppress it.

People's words are terrifying!

He did not immediately return to Yingtian Prefecture, sit in Yangzhou, and gather forces from all parties to try to solve the case in one fell swoop and solve this big problem.

At night, Gong Dingzi was rafting on the little Qinhuai at this time, accompanied by Zhang and Chu Jianghan.

The little Qinhuai River naturally came from the Qinhuai River in Nanjing. The lights on both sides were red and green, and laughter were heard. Flowers and boats were lined up on the river, and the piano was filled with waves.

Zhang sat behind Gong Dingzi, looked in front of him with vigilance, and whispered: "Sir, I have basically found out that the people behind him are doing very cleanly, and they are not exposed at all. Not to mention the people in the Criminal Prison Department, even we can't find any clues."

Chu Jianghan came from the Criminal Section of the Royal Court, and learned more advanced and comprehensive investigative methods. He then said: "Sir, the brothel that Zhou Tongzhang went to was named Qingjuyuan. The two prostitutes have disappeared, but they are indeed from Qingjuyuan. They came to recruit prostitutes. According to the portrait description, they should also be Zhou Tongzhang himself, but it doesn't make sense here."

Gong Dingzi is now quite polite and sits upright. Looking ahead, he said lightly: "Zhou Jinyao has been in the capital for many years and has been trained. Even if he is an outsider, he will not recruit prostitutes so blatantly. He will be in the Yangzhou Prefecture Office later."

"Yes." Chu Jianghan was in his early thirties, with a square face, quite handsome face, and calm expression, thinking: "This matter is indeed strange. Looking at the entire case, the official believes that the breakthrough point is not in the government office, but in this little Qinhuai."

Gong Dingzi was stunned and said, "How can I explain this?"

Chu Jianghan bowed forward and whispered: "Sir, this perpetrator is extraordinary. They acted neatly without any delay, and did not leave any clues. The officials judged that these people either came from certain yamen in the court or had special training. Although they acted cautiously, they still had to do necessary scouts. The officials believed that they were also on the river that night and would not be too far from the painting ship of Zhou Tongzong."

Zhang followed and said, "Sir, please send someone to investigate now."

Gong Dingzi waved his hand and said, "It takes too much time to check this way, we can't afford to wait."

Although Chu Jianghan's official position is not very high, everyone understands that this case is a big and earth-shaking case. People from the Ming Dynasty are staring at it, so they can't delay it.

He thought for a while and said, "Sir, this case is not that easy to solve. If this case is not solved, this matter cannot be done well. We have no other way."

Zhang looked at Gong Dingzi's back and warned cautiously, "Sir, this case is extraordinary, and it cannot be ruled out that those people have to do other cases. Those people in Yangzhou Prefecture cannot be used as heads."

Gong Dingzi looked at the flower boat in front of him, stood up, opened the fan with a snap, and said slowly: "We are in the light, no matter how dark they are, this case cannot be delayed, nor can we investigate aimlessly. Since there is a breakthrough, let's make a sound, put it in your pocket, and wait for someone to come and get into it."

Chu Jianghan is a smart man, and he immediately said happily: "Sir, wise! The minister is here to make people prepare. Let's say that someone on the river sees the face behind the human beings, and then protects them and wait for them to silence them!"

Gong Dingzi smiled and said confidently: "Well, be careful, these people are not the simple things in the past, you must catch a living. Also, you cannot just take a gamble. If you want to say that Yangzhou Prefecture has no clue at all, I don't believe it. There must be an insider inside. After making the bag, you can also make arrangements in Yangzhou Prefecture to find out this insider."

A look of respect appeared on his face and said, "Yes, the official will do it!"

Gong Dingzi swept across the banks of Xiao Qinhuai, and his expression was quite emotional.

He was also a famous talent in Jiangzuo back then. His figure on the Qinhuai River also traveled everywhere. I don’t know how many famous prostitutes went crazy for him.

But now, he has cultivated himself and stayed away from these things, and became a moral gentleman who is self-disciplined and moral.

Chu Jianghan looked at Gong Dingzi's back. He had already understood Shangguan a little. After waiting for a while, he said, "Sir, do you have any other tricks?"

Zhang was stunned and turned to look at Gong Dingzi's back.

Gong Dingzi looked at the river and said for a while: "These people have a lot of origin and are very capable. If you want to arrange such a perfect case, you must have a lot of effort. I plan to find some people and touch them."

Chu Jianghan knew that Gong Dingzi was from Jiangnan and was well-founded here, and said thoughtfully: "Then, let's act in three ways and act separately. By the way, please don't act alone. No matter where you go, you must bring enough guards. Since they dare to take action against Qin, it's not bad for us."

Speaking of this, Gong Dingzi looked solemn and said, "Well, you take my warrant to meet Jiangsu Governor Lu Qin, and borrow five hundred soldiers... No, don't go to the Governor's Office. I will go to the garrison in person and ask Lu Xiangsheng to borrow. This matter must be kept confidential enough!"

Chu Jianghan, Zhang was shocked and a little surprised.

Chu Jiang hesitated slightly and said, "Sir, isn't that serious?"

Gong Dingzi shook his head and said, "This matter is not that simple. I heard some rumors in the capital. Nanzhili, especially Shenlong Mansion, is not peaceful. We come with the order and must return successfully. We must be extremely careful in this matter."

Chu Jianghan understood that these were things that he could not touch, so he didn't say much.

Gong Dingzi's flower boat quickly docked, and the three of them walked straight towards Yangzhou Prefecture.

Just after they left, a flower boat also quietly arrived. The three people on the boat were secretly watching Gong Dingzi and the other two leave, and then they got ashore.

The three of them wore tights, all of whom looked like a wealthy family, but they were strong, calm and had evil spirits on their faces.

"Are they going to Yangzhou Prefecture?"

"It's useless. The two prostitutes have been sunk by the river. They can't find any evidence."

"As long as this case is not solved, the matter will not be settled. The capital city is already in trouble, and it is said that hundreds of impeachment memorials have been included in the cabinet."

"Well, don't disturb them. We just need to watch the situation develop and never show off our strength."

"Okay, let's go, I can't stay here for too long."

As the three of them said, they quickly got ashore and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Gong Dingzi and the other two did not enter Yangzhou Prefecture, but entered the military yamen of the government, which was directly under the Governor's Office, and it was difficult for outsiders to intervene.

Not long after, the imperial envoy arrived and wanted to borrow troops from the Governor's Office to investigate the case. It spread throughout Yangzhou Prefecture and then spread throughout Nanzhili.

Everyone in the dark was sneering, wanting to watch Gong Dingzi's joke.

Feng Jiangfeng and all the officials in Nanzhili were watching. The case was too important and they all hoped to solve the case as soon as possible, but they could not intervene in person, so as not to escalate the situation and fall into fact.

However, for three consecutive days, Gong Dingzi and others hid in the yamen and kept their doors away. No one knew what they were doing, as if they had disappeared.

Feng Jiangfeng visited him once on the same day according to etiquette, but he didn't get anything useful and was excused.
