    Looking at the sunset outside, Emperor Tianqi felt a little heavy. Thinking of Xiong Tingbi's appearance, Emperor Tianqi could only shake his head and smile bitterly.  At this time, the Ming Dynasty was suffering from internal and external troubles, and God did not help. It caused a mini-ice age. It could be described as a mess!  "Your Majesty, it's getting late, it's time to go back to the palace." Seeing Emperor Tianqi standing there in a daze, Chen Hong slowly came to Emperor Tianqi's side and whispered.  Emperor Tianqi didn't say anything. He glanced at Xiong Tingbi's mansion, sighed softly, and left.  This time out of the palace, Emperor Tianqi understood the situation in Liaodong, so he was not blinded. But from the current situation, things this time are still very bad.  Tomorrow is the day of the morning court, and the results of the investigation into Xiong Tingbi have not yet come out, which makes people really worried.  Although there were carrier pigeons delivering the news, the investigation seemed to have taken too much time. Should the Wei Dynasty be urged to do so?  The early spring in Liaodong is still cold. Wei Zhongxian and his party arrived in Shenyang City yesterday. They did not have time to appreciate the scenery of the northern country.  Before coming, the Wei Dynasty had been warned that nothing unexpected would happen this time.  Changlong Inn is a relatively large inn in Shenyang City. It is located on the busiest street in the east of Shenyang City and is bustling with traffic every day.  Wei Zhongxian was sitting in a room in the backyard of the inn with a gloomy face, surrounded by Dongchang fans.  Standing in front of Wei Zhongxian was a middle-aged man in his forties with a signature smile on his face.  "Shopkeeper Zhang, how many years have you been in Liaodong?" Wei Zhongxian said lightly after glancing at the shopkeeper of Changlong Inn.  The display cabinet of Changlong Inn is Dongchang's hidden pile in Liaodong.  "Sir, it has been twenty years." Zhang Fu sighed in his heart. The eunuch in front of him was different from the previous eunuchs. This one was really shrewd. What surprised him most was that this eunuch actually worked hard.  , it¡¯s really rare that you don¡¯t come here just to make money.  Nodding slightly, Wei Zhongxian glanced at Zhang Fu and asked, "Have you found out what you were asked to investigate?" Wei Zhongxian knew the implications of the matter at this time. Before Wei Chao came, he also gave many warnings and instructions, and he must be sure to investigate.  The matter must be clarified as soon as possible, and the news must be sent back to the capital within three days.  "My lord, I have found out. In fact, there is no need to investigate this matter. Everyone in Liaodong knows about it." Since the other party is not interested in money, he must have other motives!  Zhang Fu felt that it was better for him to handle things more beautifully.  Wei Zhongxian suddenly became interested, glanced at Zhang Fu, and asked quickly: "Tell me what you want?"  He was irritable, but he was a rare good official. He improved military discipline and strengthened border defense. The people of Liaodong were very grateful to him. As for the Yang family, it can be said that the Yang family has deep roots.  In this one-third-acre land in Liaodong, it is not unusual for him to be called a local bully. "Zhang Fu knows a lot about things in Liaodong. He runs an inn, so he naturally knows people from all walks of life, so he naturally knows more.  .  "Go on, don't tell me!" Seeing that Zhang Fu stopped at the key point, Wei Zhongxian frowned and snorted coldly.  "My lord, in the past few years, because Yang Hao was the manager of Liaodong, and the Yang family had military power, they naturally would not take a patrol commissioner seriously, so this Lord Xiong was depressed and frustrated. But then Yang Hao died,  They were escorted to Beijing by Master Xiong. The Yang family went to find Master Xiong but was scolded by Master Xiong. This was the reason for the discord between the Yang family and Master Xiong, but it was not the main reason for this incident. Master Xiong was capable.  , He is very popular in the army. In the past, his reputation was not justified, and Master Xiong did not have military power. But now, his reputation is justified, and Master Xiong naturally wants to take the military power. " "But this affects the interests of the Yang family.  , The land of Liaodong is different from other places. The fist is the last word here, and whoever has the military power naturally has the final say. Naturally, the Yang family cannot sit still and wait for death, so this happened."  , Zhang Fu told everything he knew.  Nodding slowly, Wei Zhongxian said thoughtfully: "Is it true that someone in the imperial court participated in the performance of Master Xiong trampling on people's fields and blackmailing people?" Zhang Fu nodded this time and said in a deep voice: "  This is true, but it happened for a reason. It was none other than the local wealthy squires. In fact, Mr. Xiong asked these people to fund the garrison every year, but in recent years, it has not come to Mr. Xiong himself.  They have all joined the army. As for trampling on people's fields, it is a bit ridiculous. ""Every time during the autumn harvest, the Tatars will come to plunder. In order to save the food, Lord Xiong orders people to harvest it every time. Of course, the food is huge.  Some of them are transported to the military camp. Sometimes, there is no time to collect them.The people ordered the grain to be burned, and all the grain was burned.  It's hard to say who to blame.  "Zhang Fu's expression was quite emotional. He glanced at Wei Zhongxian and shook his head gently. Having been in Liaodong for so many years, Zhang Fu knew the situation in Liaodong well and was able to protect Xiong Tingbi, so he mostly protected Xiong Tingbi.  Wei Zhongxian frowned slightly, feeling helpless. He straightened his face and said in a deep voice: "Our duty is to figure out the ins and outs of the matter. As for who is right and who is wrong, it is not for us to decide.  .  These matters must be decided by the emperor. We cannot involve our own emotions here. Don't forget what you do.  " Zhang Fu straightened up, bowed to Wei Zhongxian, and said gratefully: "What you have taught me is that you understand humble duties.  " Standing up gently, Wei Zhongxian walked slowly to the window, looked at the gloomy sky outside, and said in a serious tone: "Zhang Fu, this matter was investigated by the emperor's order. If something goes wrong,  You know what the outcome will be.  Go back and write down the whole story and send it to me. After I read it, write it down in code and send it to the capital in Feige.  " "Yes, I understand.  "Zhang Fu saluted Wei Zhongxian and replied with a serious face. Waving to Zhang Fu, Wei Zhongxian said in a deep voice: "Go and do it!  If things are done well this time, the Governor will naturally be rewarded heavily.  If it goes wrong, not only you, but also me will be left with nothing to eat.  " After giving a salute to Wei Zhongxian, Zhang Fugong stepped back and gently closed the door. Patting the window sill hard, Wei Zhongxian had a sneer on his lips and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes. Chapter 2 is coming  Sorry, the collection in the past two days is not ideal.
