I am immortal in the immortal world

Chapter 396 Loyalty is commendable
Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhou Yi bowed and left.

Emperor Zhengtong looked at the disappearing figure, and suddenly asked Yuan Gonggong who was waiting beside him.

"Xiao Yuanzi, on the day the tribute entered the palace, he happened to be visiting relatives outside the palace. Do you think he was poisoned?"

Eunuch Yuan's expression changed in astonishment, and his mind turned, thinking about what to say at this time.

Whether it is the poison of Zhou Yi or not is not important, but the answer must be in line with His Majesty's wishes, and if you make a mistake, you will lose your holy family.

After only three breaths of thought, Eunuch Yuan had the answer and said in a sharp voice.

"Your Majesty, our family believes that Eunuch Yi is a certain suspect. If there is any possibility of harming His Majesty, we should rather kill the wrong one than let him go!"

Emperor Zhengtong nodded slightly, very satisfied with this answer.

He was poisoned and unconscious for half an hour last night. Even though the imperial doctor assured him that there would be no future troubles, he still has lingering fears when he thinks about it.

If the great cause in my heart has not been completed, I will fall into the tricks of ghosts and monsters, and I will really die with regret!

At this time.

The father-in-law on duty outside the door reported: "Your Majesty, Commander Ji of the Zhenfu Division is asking to see you."

Emperor Zhengtong said, "Let him get out."

Ji Yue curled up on the ground, rolled like a ball, kowtowed three times and nine times in front of Emperor Zhengtong: "Your Majesty is frightened, I will die!"

The rouge case originated from tributes outside the palace, and its origin has little to do with the Book of Changes. The directly responsible department is the Zhenfu Division.

Emperor Zhengtong asked coldly: "Have you checked it out?"

Ji Yue sent a memorial: "Your Majesty, this is all the itinerary of Eunuch Yi after leaving the palace, and the people below have not relaxed their surveillance."

Emperor Zhengtong quickly flipped through it, heaved a sigh of relief, and scolded.

"The servants in the palace and the local officials are so flattering, and they have no scholarly character. Is he going home to visit relatives, or is he searching for places? It's simply out of place!"

The orthodox emperor was satisfied when he saw Zhou Yi scolding the county magistrate Tian and demanding rectification of the violations.

Xiao Yizi is greedy, but he still knows how to be respectful and humble, and his loyalty is commendable!
Ji Yue tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, are you investigating the ink corruption case of Eunuch Yi?"

Zhou Yi is one of the most powerful servants in the palace, and the two divisions have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time, so they naturally became the focus of spies' stalking, and today they can quickly hand over the evidence of corruption.

Emperor Zhengtong glanced at Ji Yue, the struggle between the two divisions is a good thing, but the investigation of the Rouge case was delayed because of this, it is true that some brains are not flexible enough.

After all, he was enthroned in a hurry, and there were not enough people inside, and Ji Yue was more loyal than capable.

"Strip Tian Xu's fame and official position, and hand it over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for judgment."

Emperor Zhengtong said: "Take back the Zhou family's house and property as a warning, and transfer Zhou Xiong to the prison to manage the camp."

Jealousy flashed in Yuan Gonggong's eyes. Such a well-documented greed for ink not only did not make Zhou Yi lose his holy family, but promoted his younger brother's official position.

The sky prison is in charge of the camp, that is a high-ranking official position, which is very different from the petty official!

Although Ji Yue's reaction was slow, now he has come to realize that His Majesty needs Zhouyi to do things, so he can't move for the time being.

"Sir, obey the order!"

……

On duty.

The old eunuch and godson gathered together.

Zhou Yiduan sat at the head, sipping tea with a smile on his face, listening to everyone discussing how to win the imperial prison.

Eunuch Zhao's relatives were involved in the rouge case, and they were already grasshoppers after the fall. They would inevitably ransack their families and exterminate their families. Those who needed to be carefully distinguished were those merchants who paid tribute.

Anyone who can do tribute business, most of them have backers.

Which ones can be raided and which ones should be kept is a tricky question.

As for those merchants who have no backing, they are not within the scope of this discussion. They are already doomed to confiscate their homes and go into exile, so His Majesty's majesty cannot be violated!

Eunuch Yuan has a saying that is right, it is better to kill the wrong than to let it go!
"My lord, there are many kinds of tributes in the palace. We have been discussing here for three days and three nights, but we still can't tell which one to copy."

Wen Dianbo said: "What's more, we have lived in the palace for a long time, and we have no outside news channels. If we make a mistake in copying, and offend any prince, it is tantamount to making revenge for nothing!"

Zhou Yi nodded slightly, this was also what he was worried about, he couldn't take revenge for His Majesty's affairs.

"Sir, do you have a magic trick?"

"Instead of screening each family, it's better to release the news first, and let the backers of those tribute merchants pass notes to us."

Wen Dianbo said: "Anyone who handed over the note will not copy it, and if the note is not handed over, it will be copied, and we can't blame us!"

"Not bad."

Zhou Yi nodded again and again, Wen Dianbo was worthy of being a treacherous and cunning man, and ordered: "Let someone take the name card of the palace supervisor, and spread the word from family to family. In two days, anyone who doesn't hand in the note will ransack the house!"

"Godfather/Your Excellency is wise."

All the servants flattered a few words and dispersed.

Such a matter of holding a famous post in the palace to spread the word is a big job, no matter whether there is a backer or not, they will hand over a lot of filial money.

Zhou Yi, on the other hand, led more than [-] servants, and killed the imperial prison domineeringly.

on the way.

Meeting the Empress Empress Fengjia head-on, she immediately lowered her eyebrows and knelt down a long row by the wall.

Zhou Yijing waited for the nobleman to pass by, but never thought that Fengjia would stop in front of her.

The queen's voice was flat: "Are you Xiao Yizi?"

"Hui Niangniang, it is the servant girl."

Zhou Yi shuddered suddenly, he felt a fiery breath covering his forehead, as if he would fall down at any time and smash his head into pieces.

The queen said: "That's right, get closer to Yuer more in the future."

"The slaves obey the order."

Zhou Yi kowtowed again and again, fearing that if his performance was not good, the queen would take action on the spot, and the glory and wealth calculated by the conspiracy would be for naught.

Feng Jia continued to move forward until he turned a corner and disappeared from his back.

After a long time.

Zhou Yi stood up just now, his back drenched with sweat, carefully pondering every word the queen said.

The godson next to him asked: "Godfather, shall we go to the Imperial Prison to arrest Eunuch Zhao?"

"Eunuch Zhao... Zhao!"

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up, as if he had caught something.

The surname of Zhao Naiguo, many refugees who lost their household registration, deliberately changed their surname to Zhao when they went to Xindijie to report their names, and it became the most common surname in Daqing over time.

"Could it be that Eunuch Zhao, this Zhao, is not a fake national surname, but a real fallen royal family?"

Zhou Yi immediately stopped thinking about punishing Eunuch Zhao's nine clans. Even if it is a branch of the royal family, going back three generations, it is likely to involve the current prince.

"Why did the empress remind us for nothing, let us stand in line, it's a bit early..."

Zhou Yi pressed his thoughts and told his godson: "Go and find out, where is the empress from? Our family must be filial in the future."

The queen lives in the deep palace, and her every move is too eye-catching, if she wants to show her favor, she has to start with her natal family.

The godson bowed to accept the order, and went to ask the servant on duty in Kunning Palace.

"Let's go, let's meet Eunuch Zhao!"

Zhou Yi doesn't care if Eunuch Zhao is a royal or not, if he dares to poison the tribute, even His Majesty's father and son will have to be pulled out and chopped.

After a while.

The servants blocked the entrance of the imperial prison.

Zhou Yi went in with a smile on his face, looked at Eunuch Zhao who was drinking tea slowly, and sniffed the aroma of the tea.

"Hey, you didn't drink the tribute royal tea today?"
