Although Liu Yu and Liu Jin were both greedy, they were not yet afraid of being fearless at this time, so they did not dare to put money at home.

The emperor sent someone to search, but it was only in vain, because Liu Yu and Liu Jin could not find anything valuable in their house. Liu Jin even used straw mats and quilts to live at home. When the factory guards who had gone to investigate came back to report, it was already two hours later.

Zhu Houzhao accompanied the ministers to wait, and obviously he also wanted to know what the result was.

Zhu Houzhao was originally late for court, but the delay was already sunset before the search of Liu Yu and Liu Jin was reported to the death of Liu Yu and Liu Jin. The factory guards listed the list and submitted it to Zhu Houzhao.

"I can't see clearly that so much... Master Xie, since the memorial was published by you, let's take a look. Can the result of this search of the house indicate that Eunuch Liu and Shangshu Liu are corrupt people?" Zhu Houzhao asked someone to hand over the detailed list to Xie Qian.

When Xie Qian looked at the investigation results, he knew that Liu Jin and Liu Yu had been prepared for a long time and transferred the money. This memorial was completely useless.

He was not worried that he would be punished, but he was worried about the person who wrote this memorial: "This riot not only did it not prove that Liu Yu and Liu Jin were corrupt and violated the law and colluded with each other, but it proved that the two were honest officials."

"If this matter continues, there will be no result. Instead, the person who wrote the memorial will be retaliated by Liu Jin and Liu Yu... Who is this person? Could it be Shen Xi's child?"

What worries Xie Qian the most is that the memorial was written by Shen Xi.

He didn't see the original copy of the song, so he didn't know what his handwriting was. He was worried and began to think about how to smooth things out and ensure that his interests were not damaged.

Xie Qian said: "When you go back to your Majesty, the old minister just presented the accumulated memorials in the court to His Majesty for viewing, and there is no intention to report them. The investigation results do not seem to show that Eunuch Liu is a corrupt person."

Xie Qian did not say that Liu Jin was not guilty, but only said that it could not be proved. He said in disguise that Liu Jin had a high possibility of hiding the money.

The officials present understood Xie Qian's meaning, but they were unable to agree. The civil officials were eager for Liu Jin to fall, and the eunuchs in the palace also hoped that Liu Jin would lose his favor and give up the position of the Sili Supervisor's seal... Liu Jin acted arrogantly and domineeringly, and many of his behaviors damaged the interests of eunuchs in the palace and gradually lost the support of the officials.

But one thing is that he has gained the trust of Emperor Zhengde and has a group of supporters under him, which is enough for him to call the wind and rain in the palace and court.

Zhu Houzhao said impatiently: "I have been waiting for so long, but I didn't find anything. It's really disappointing! I will retreat to the court. If you have any memorials next time, it's best to have conclusive evidence before taking it out. Eunuch Liu, come with me."

...

...

The emperor went to the back of Qianqing Palace, and the court meeting ended, and the ministers were finally able to leave the palace.

Although Zhu Houzhao did not talk about the problem of dealing with the person who wrote the memorial, Xie Qian could feel that even if the emperor did not pursue the matter, Liu Jin would not let him go. There are huge questions about who wrote the memorial and impeached Liu Jin.

Xie Qian thought to himself when he left the palace: "Someone impeached Liu Jin, which almost made Liu Jin fall into a state of doom. Liu Jin recovered, how could the revenge be lighter? I just hope that this person is not Shen Zhihou, or an old minister in the court. Judging from the memorial poem, he should be a young and energetic official, whether he is a Hanlin Academy, a Zhanshi Mansion, or a student of the Imperial College?"

Who reported Liu Jin? There were many different opinions in the court, and the ministers were talking about this when they went out.

At this time, Liu Jin followed Zhu Houzhao into the back veranda. Zhu Houzhao sat down on the chair, and Liu Jin stood beside him, not knowing what the emperor intended.

Zhu Houzhao took a sip of tea and looked up at Liu Jin: "Eunuch Liu, it seems that you are such an honest official. The bed in the mansion is actually covered with straw mats and quilts. You have lived a very hard life!"

Liu Jin heard something was not very appropriate in Zhu Houzhao's words and asked tentatively: "As a slave to His Majesty, I dare not only care about my own enjoyment."

Zhu Houzhao sneered: "I hope you can remember what you said today. If you have always been so loyal, I will think you are a good helper. You give me 80,000 taels of silver at a time. Where did you come from? Do you think I don't know that you used the purchase of the imperial village to fill your own pockets?"

Hearing this, Liu Jin quickly knelt down and kowtowed, not defending himself.

He had figured out that if the emperor wanted to punish him, there would be no need for any evidence. As long as he was found guilty, it would be useless no matter how he showed integrity.

Zhu Houzhao stood up, pressed his hand on Liu Jin's head, and bowed slightly: "Remember, you are a dog I raise. If I let you prosper, you will prosper. If you do something wrong, I think you can die, and I will peel you off the bones. I will not pursue this matter. After all, the money you received is mainly for my enjoyment. The establishment of the leopard house is a contribution... You can go back and think about it carefully."

After saying that, Zhu Houzhao patted Liu Jin's head again. Liu Jin was so scared that he kowtowed, not knowing how to apologize to satisfy Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao's footsteps were gone, but Liu Jin still didn't dare to look up, fearing that the emperor was testing himself. After a while, Zhang Yuan walked over and said, "What's the matter with Eunuch Liu kneeling here? Your Majesty has left the palace, should you go back?"

Hearing Zhang Yuan's voice, Liu Jin was angry and even felt that the impeachment might be the enemy behind the scenes.

Liu Jin stood up and could not see the emperor, but he was still afraid and felt that he had the illusion of escaping from death. He thought to himself: "Fortunately, I took out some of the money to give to His Majesty before. If I hadn't paid the money for the money, I'm afraid that His Majesty would have to sue me directly today."

Seeing Liu Jin stunned, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but laugh: "What, Eunuch Liu is stupid?"

Liu Jin glared at Zhang Yuan: "What do we do with you in our family? Do your own work!"

The only one who could scold Zhang Yuan in the palace was that there was no one else except Liu Jin. At this time, even if Zhang Yuan was angry, he could not help but watch Liu Jin leave arrogantly.

After Liu Jin walked away, Zhang Yuan shook his sleeves and said disdainfully: "Apart from His Majesty's trust, there is not even a backer. It depends on when you show off. Humph!"

...

...

Liu Jin was impeached just when he was fiddling with the reform.

After Liu Jin returned, he became more and more angry when he thought about it. He got angry with Zhang Wenmian and Sun Cong: "...I must find out who framed our family. Our family must not let this person live in peace. He actually framed our family and pissed our family to death..."

Liu Jin said that he was innocent, but Sun Cong and Zhang Wenmian both knew the inside story and knew that Liu Jin was purely escaping from death this time.

Although Zhu Houzhao protected Liu Jin, he also asked someone to investigate Liu Jin's mansion. If the money had not been hidden elsewhere, this matter would have been exposed. At that time, Zhu Houzhao would probably not care about Liu Jin anymore.

Sun Cong said: "But I don't know why Your Majesty suddenly obeyed the memorial and wanted to investigate the office?"

Liu Jin said angrily: "Only one of the geniuses know what happened."

Zhang Wenmian sighed lightly: "It is obvious that Your Majesty is afraid that he is already suspicious of his father-in-law and wants the courtiers to shut up, so he came here. If his father-in-law is really found guilty, then Your Majesty may not protect his father-in-law. After all, in His Majesty's opinion, his father-in-law has no value in use."

Liu Jin glared at Zhang Wenmian: "You dare to criticize Your Majesty in front of our family? Your Majesty never said that we would kill our family. You don't know your Majesty's intimate relationship with our family... slap!"

Seeing that Liu Jin looked fierce and fierce, Zhang Wenmian didn't dare to disobey him, so he decisively slapped his mouth a few times... He didn't really hit him, but just made a sound for Liu Jin to relieve Liu Jin.

Liu Jin asked: "I asked someone to go to the Tongzheng and Envoy Department for investigation before, but can there be any results?"

Sun Cong said: "I haven't found out yet. Perhaps it's just written by ordinary prison students, so it's very difficult to investigate."

Liu Jin shook his head: "It's not an ordinary student. His writing style is at least a Jinshi, or perhaps those court officials... Our family must pursue this matter to the end. If we don't punish it today, others think our family is easy to bully, so maybe they will bully us again."

Sun Cong asked for instructions: "I don't know how my father-in-law is going to investigate this case?"

Liu Jin thought for a while, but there was no result. Finally, he looked at Zhang Wenmian who had just slapped his mouth a few times and asked, "Yan Guang, what do you think?"

Zhang Wenmian drooped his head: "My father-in-law wants to investigate who wrote it, it is afraid it will be difficult. The person who wrote this memorial is afraid of his father-in-law and wrote it anonymously. If his father-in-law wants to not be criticized in the future, he can only let the court officials know your majesty..."

Liu Jin frowned and said, "How can they know about it?"

Zhang Wenmian said: "If Your Majesty can support your father-in-law, you can summon all the ministers to kneel in the palace. If no one is willing to admit it, you will kneel down for a long time. Even if no one admits it, your father-in-law can still shock the court officials."

Sun Cong looked at Zhang Wenmian and asked in a daze: "What do you mean is to let your father-in-law commit edicts?"

Liu Jin raised his hand: "Yan Guang said something reasonable. If our family is willing to give up this matter, who will obey our family's orders in the future? He then borrowed His Majesty from the palace and before he returned to the court, he summoned all the ministers to discuss matters at the Meridian Gate. When our family mentioned it a little to His Majesty, it would be a false edict... Our family was too kind and ruthless before, so we simply got rid of a few people to establish authority and see who dared to go against our family?"

After saying that, Liu Jin went to the inner hall angrily.

Sun Cong stared at Zhang Wenmian and was very dissatisfied with his suggestions, because Zhang Wenmian's move undoubtedly made Liu Jin completely confront the civil servant group.

Zhang Wenmian looked back at Sun Cong: "Brother, you don't have to look at someone like this. Those who have accomplished great things in this world are not focused on minor matters. My father-in-law treats someone like his parents now. If his father-in-law is prosperous, he will prosper. If his father-in-law dies, he will perish. What is the reason not to consider the interests of his father-in-law?"
