Chapter 307 The strange emperor

"This matter is of great importance. Please keep it secret for the time being, Master Chen!"

Zhang Chen cupped his hands and said.

Chen Muchan looked at Zhang Chen curiously. He was a little unclear about Zhang Chen's plan. If this map was real, he should act as soon as possible. Otherwise, if his classmates knew about it, they would never have such a good opportunity again.

"The top priority now is to resolve the issue of the Spring Imperial Examination. His Majesty the Emperor is still waiting for my reply."

Zhang Chen gave the specific reason. Now is not a good opportunity to deploy troops because the traitor around the emperor has not yet been found.

As long as they take action, the traitor will quickly spread the news to alert them and abandon this place.

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, Chen Muchan nodded solemnly. No one understood the dangers of this organization better than him.

"Then thank you so much, Master Chen!"

Zhang Chen raised his glass to propose a cup of tea. The purpose of his trip had been achieved.

"I don't dare, I don't dare. This is all for serving the imperial court."

Chen Muchan also raised his glass in return.

The two didn't get together for too long. Zhang Chen got the answer he wanted, and then got up to say goodbye and leave.

Six Gates is still waiting for him to return. This time the matter must be explained to the emperor, and Chen Muchan is not suitable to stay outside for too long.

Had it not been for a serious matter this time, Zhang Chen would not have let Chen Muchan come directly to Liumen. Instead, he would have chosen to meet at a safe place in the evening.

Then, the two of them walked out of the teahouse one after another after a while. Chen Muchan instantly blended into the crowd and disappeared, while Zhang Chen turned around and returned to the six doors.

"How's the situation?"

In the interrogation room, everyone hurriedly asked when Zhang Chen came back. Zhang Chen did not answer but nodded.

"The confessions have been sorted out, and we found this thing among Mr. Zhou's belongings."

Liu Ruoxin took out a brocade box and a waist card from the table.

Zhang Chen opened the brocade box and suddenly laughed when he saw the contents inside. He really felt like he was dozing off on his pillow.

Liu Ruoxin also had a smile on her face. When they found this brocade box, none of them expected that it would be such ironclad evidence.

"We are lucky this time!"

Zhu Yipin said with a smile, and the others agreed. The thing in the brocade box was nothing else, but a letter handwritten by Mr. Zhou. The content of the letter was exactly about the Spring Festival.

"This brocade box was discovered by the police when they searched Mr. Zhou's bedroom. It was hidden on the floor under the bed."

Liu Ruoxin pointed at the brocade box and said.

"It seems that Mr. Zhou doesn't really believe in this organization in his heart. We can see from this map and this brocade box that he keeps a secret of this organization."

Yang Yuxuan also analyzed that he believed Mr. Zhou might have been coerced and not a member of this organization.

Zhang Chen listened silently to their analysis. Their analysis made sense, but the truest truth no longer existed. Mr. Zhou's family had been wiped out, so who could they turn to to inquire about the truth.

"Leave this matter to His Majesty. Anyway, we have done everything we should do. I would like to remind everyone here that the map and the letters in this brocade box should not be circulated outside."

Zhang Chen said pointedly.

Everyone expressed their understanding that the case had already involved a lot of secrets at this stage, and they did not want to get involved in some whirlpool inexplicably.

"Let's go back to the palace and hand these confessions to His Majesty the Emperor. Our task will be completed. The rest will be handled by the underground."

Zhang Chen picked up the confession, then turned and left the interrogation room. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and then quickly followed Zhang Chen.

Half an hour later, Zhang Chen and others appeared in the palace again.

"The matter has been settled, Your Majesty. Here are their confessions. Please take a look at them."

Under the leadership of the young eunuch, Zhang Chen and others saw the emperor in the imperial garden, and then Zhang Chen handed over the confession.

The emperor asked the young eunuch to present them and looked at the confessions of these officials attentively, especially the letter and waist badge that Zhang Chen put up at the end.

After a while, the emperor gently put down the confession in his hand. Then he looked at Zhang Chen's face and said, "It's really surprising that such a dignified doctor from the Ministry of Etiquette would be exterminated in this capital.

"

Although the emperor's words were calm, everyone still heard the anger in his words. They were not ordinary civilians, but high-ranking officials of the imperial court.

He was a fifth-grade man, who was already an upper-middle-level figure in the imperial court. How could the emperor not be angry when he was killed so easily?

"Just follow the laws of the Ming Dynasty. If these officials you took away committed any crime, then they will be dealt with according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. No one can plead for mercy."

The emperor suddenly mentioned another thing, as if he had not spoken just now, Zhang Chen agreed upon hearing this.

The emperor regained his composure, then looked at everyone and said: "You are all good. I am happy that the Ming Dynasty has capable ministers like you."

After hearing this, everyone quickly saluted. Although they didn't know why the emperor spoke like this, they still had to show humility at this time.

"I have said before that merit will be rewarded. I have just asked Foyin to prepare it. I hope that what I have prepared can satisfy you."

The emperor suddenly said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

No one dared to say anything else, so they quickly saluted again to express their gratitude.

The emperor nodded, then no longer looked at the man but instead focused his gaze on the pool not far away.

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

Seeing the emperor's sudden state, everyone still didn't understand what it meant, so everyone slowly withdrew from the imperial garden.

After everyone left the Royal Garden, Zhu Yipin looked at Zhang Chen with confusion. He always felt that this meeting was in a fog.

The rest of the people also felt that something was unusual. The emperor's behavior was very different, especially after reading the confession.

Zhang Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then put his head on his arms and turned to the palace gate. He didn't want to explain so much yet.

The reason why the emperor changed his attitude was, of course, that he handed over the map and badge. This was the real reason why the emperor changed his attitude.

Both the letter and the waistband involved an important person in the palace. It was not an easy task for the young emperor to touch her. Even if the emperor knew about her abnormality, he would not be able to do it easily.

……………

After Zhang Chen and the others left the palace, a young eunuch suddenly chased them out and handed an imperial edict to Zhang Chen again.

“Looks like there’s still work to be done!!”

After handing over the imperial edict, the little eunuch whispered in Zhang Chen's ear for a while, and then the little eunuch hurried back to the palace. After the little eunuch completely disappeared, Zhang Chen said with a smile.

"What riddles are you making?"

Everyone felt baffled.

"You'll know later! Brother Bai, let's hurry back to the inn. Don't forget that Brother Xiucai has to leave the examination room today!"

Zhang Chen said mysteriously, and then walked towards the direction of the inn.

"Hey, wait for me."

Bai Zhantang shouted and quickly followed Zhang Chen's pace.

The remaining three were speechless for a while. They hated Riddlers like Zhang Cheng the most. There was something they couldn't tell directly.

………………

Evening time.

Inside Tongfu Inn.

Everyone is busy preparing for the dinner. They are preparing a banquet for the scholar.

"I see. No wonder you said we would know later."

Liu Ruoxin came to Zhang Chen's side and said.

When she returned to Xichang, she learned that His Majesty the Emperor had made a big move, and Xichang had received a clear order to secretly monitor the officials.

It was precisely because of this that Liu Ruoxin thought of Zhang Chen's imperial edict. I'm afraid the content in it was the same as that of Xichang.

"There will be a lot of fun at the Great Hall tomorrow. It's a pity that we are not qualified to go to the Great Hall. Otherwise, I would really like to see their expressions."

Zhang Chen said with a smile that although the case leaked by Chunwei has been investigated, the officials involved have also been arrested and brought to justice.

But this does not mean the end. They are just a group of cannon fodder. The confrontation in the court is the final conclusion. Zhang Chen really wants to see how many monsters and monsters will appear tomorrow.
