Zhu Yinglong's body did not improve as Jia Zheng and others said, but gradually improved, which calmed the royal palace a lot.

Li Yongzhen and Jia Zheng have come to the palace every day these days. When they see Zhu Yinglong's body gradually recovering, they are promoting the emperor's kindness and his excellent medical skills. Zhou Yingning and other young masters, who don't know the truth, believed Jia Zheng's nonsense and rewarded Jia Zheng with a lot of wealth. As Jia Zheng became famous all of a sudden, Zhu Yinglong was amused and laughed. At this time, he must not tell the truth, so he could only follow her.

Li Yongzhen tentatively proposed to Zhu Yinglong to visit the villa. Zhu Yinglong naturally agreed immediately. Zhu Yinglong knew that Li Yongzhen must have another purpose in coming to Kaifeng, and it was 80% for the villa. Instead of hiding it, it would be better for him to take a look. Anyway, it was his own territory, and what he could see was not his own decision.

Seeing that Zhu Yinglong agreed so happily, without any hesitation, Li Yongzhen began to doubt in his heart whether the factory judgement was a bit too much. Isn’t this just a waste prince who is lazy and hates labor? Isn’t it a bit too much to mobilize such a group of troops?

Li Yongzhen naturally didn't see anything valuable in the villa, but he returned to the capital with the good news that Prince Xin had gradually recovered, while Doctor Jia Zheng and Jia were kept.

On the north side of Dong'anmen Gate in Beijing, this is the location of the most famous secret agent in Chinese history. It is also named after the place, and it is Dongchang.

The function of the Dongchang was to "interrogate and incite evil, and to be powerful with the Jinyiwei." At first, the Dongchang was only responsible for detecting and arresting people, and did not have the right to interrogate criminals. The suspects caught had to be handed over to the Jinyiwei North Fufu Department for trial, but by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Dongchang also had its own prison.

The scope of investigation of the Dongchang is very wide. The court will try major cases. When the Jinyiwei Beizhenfu Department tortured serious criminals, the Dongchang will send people to hear the trial. All the yamen in the court have Dongchang staff on duty to monitor the officials' every move; some important yamen documents, such as various border reports, pond newspapers, and Dongchang will send people to check; even the daily lives of ordinary people, the prices of firewood, rice, oil and salt are within the scope of the Dongchang's reconnaissance. The information obtained by the Dongchang can be directly reported to the emperor.

The spies in the Dongchang City every day did not do anything for the court, but for their own personal gain. They often laid charges and falsely accused good people, and then they made a fuss and took the opportunity to extort. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the scope of the Dongchang's investigation even expanded to the whole country. Even remote areas in the faraway states also showed "those who wear fresh clothes and horses speak in the capital", which made everyone in the whole country and the people were in trouble.

Today, the spies from the East Factory, the common people call Fangou and Fanzi. There is an additional prisoner among their inhuman animals. This person is Shen Xi, who was sent to the capital by Zhu Yinglong. When Shen Xi and Zhu Yinglong, who was named Shen Ying, were invited by the Saint Aunt of the White Lotus Sect, must not escape the eyes of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. After that, the White Lotus Sect had such a big noise, Wang Sen and his son of the Scented Incense Sect were killed. The ground in Shandong was changing, so it was even more impossible for Jinyiwei and Dongchang to know some clues. In addition, many people in the Scented Incense Sect escaped during the merger.

These people will inevitably release some news when they hold grudges. The Shen family had a relationship with the White Lotus Sect. Although it finally subsided, when the White Lotus Sect had undergone a huge change, it was the time when Shen Xi was invited by Xu Ruying. Such a coincidence, those who are interested had grudges and stirred up trouble. The Shen family was already involved. As an institution that monitors the whole country, how could Dongchang not notice Shen Xi, the head of the Shen family? It was just that the Dongchang was in a mess a few days ago because of the Donglin Party incident. He could only monitor Shen Xi and the Shen family. Now he has finally made his move, so he naturally has to take action against Shen Xi.

After Chen Xi arrived in Beijing, he did not act rashly. All the ministers in the central government were almost controlled by Wei Zhongxian. Even if they were not controlled, most of them were protected. He didn't know who to look for for a while, so he found Zhou Huaian and discussed with him secretly. He first lived in a house in Beijing. While inquiring about the movements of the court, he controlled the business of Boguzhai remotely. But after waiting for nearly a month, the court did not have any movement about the great changes in the White Lotus Sect in Shandong. He was just surprised. So he found Zhou Huaian to discuss it. Zhou Huaian was not clear about the situation. He learned from inside that Jinyiwei and Dongchang seemed to know about the great changes in Shandong Bailian Sect. Moreover, when he came to his Xinyuan Teahouse to have tea several times, he mentioned the words of the Shen family being unlucky, but he couldn't figure out why he had not taken action for a long time, so he asked Chen Xi to stay for a few more days and prepare a generous gift to walk around with his godson who were closer to Wei Zhongxian. If it was fine, he would leave Beijing and return to Kaifeng.

Zhu Yinglong, who was in Kaifeng, could not guess the real trend of the court, so he approved Zhou Huaian's suggestion. Chen Xi listened to Zhou Huaian's suggestion and prepared generous gifts to the Minister of War Cui Chengxiu, Minister of Justice Zhou Yingqiu, Commander of the Northern Fufu Department Xu Xianchun, Governor Tian Ergeng, and even sent eight beautiful Jiangnan beauties to Wei Zhongxian's nephew Wei Liangqing. It seemed that they were all in the sea. Just when Chen Xi felt something was wrong and was about to leave Beijing, he did not expect that the Dongchang had been monitoring Chen Xi. On the night before leaving Beijing, he suddenly sent people to break into his residence and arrested him back to the Dongchang. At the same time, Boguzhai in Beijing was also investigated by the people of the Dongchang. Fortunately, the shop saw the shop and came out to pee and hid in the cesspool before escaping.

After Zhou Huaian learned the news, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat and sent the news back to Kaifeng overnight with a flying pigeon, and actively prepared for rescue.

In the "kitchen" of Dongchang, Chen Xi had been beaten with bruises all over his body. Apart from his face, there was no intact skin on his body now.

"Chen Xi, I advise you to honestly explain that your Shen family is conspiring to rebel with the White Lotus Sect?" asked a eunuch who was executed with a ferocious face.

"What... the White Lotus Sect... I... Chen Xi... I don't know... you... have found the wrong person." Chen Xi's eyes were dissipated, and he was angry but weak.

"Sure enough, come on, serve Zhu Feng!" The eunuch in prison sneered and ordered.

"Yes!" Two eunuchs who were executed took Zhu Bai up and waited for instructions.

"Fight!" With a command, Chen Xi, who was covered in red marks, suddenly flew with blood and fainted in a moment.

"Come on, so I can wake him up with cold water!"

Under the stimulation of cold water, Chen Xi opened his eyes again and looked at the eunuch who ordered to torture him, a wisp of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Say, are you a rebel who has been secretly supporting the White Lotus Sect?"

"I said that I, Chen Xi, don't know what White Lotus Sect, and I will not support any rebels!" Chen Xi said gritting his teeth.

"You are quite hard-mouthed. You open Boguzhai to provide funds for the White Lotus Sect. From last year to now, your Boguzhai is making money every day, right?" The eunuch in prison asked with a grim look with an extremely greedy look.

"Haha, this is such a big joke. Why is Chen Xi doing a good life? But I am going to support a rebel and you caught here. Am I stupid? Hahaha." Chen Xi raised his head and laughed hoarsely.

"Chen Xi, don't be foolish in front of me. Do you think our Dongchang knew about the incident three years ago? Although you escaped with half of your family's wealth, you probably can't escape this disaster today." The eunuch who was sentenced to prison said with a slight smile.

"snort!"

"You bribed Mr. Wang An back then. You deceived me by a few words. But today it is the world of nine thousand years old. Do you think your words can continue to cheat nine thousand years old?" The eunuch who was sentenced continued to sneer.

"You castrated guys won't have a good ending!" Chen Xi cursed angrily.

"If you don't want to eat toast, you'll be punished. Come on, someone will be there, slap your mouth!" When the eunuch in prison heard this, his face turned ashen.

"You have taught your body and hair to your parents, but you castrate yourself and are willing to be slaves. As sons of man, you are unfilial, as ministers, you kill innocent people indiscriminately and harm the country and the people. This is for disloyalty. You are such unfaithful and unfilial things that you are talking about in the world. In fact, you are the rebellion of my Ming Dynasty!" Although Chen Xi was a businessman, he still knew what it was. After a burst of scolding, he was in a great mood.

"Hurry, slap my mouth and slap his mouth." The eunuch in prison was humiliated by Chen Xi and roared in anger, looking extremely ugly.

Under dozens of bamboo boards, Chen Xi was beaten so hard that he temporarily lost the ability to speak, and Dongchang had to temporarily stop the interrogation of Chen Xi.
