Chapter 88: Do you want the great wealth of your fellow villager?
Deng Qianqiu looked at Jin Si with a smile.

Jin Si became wary again and stared at Deng Qianqiu with a look of horror.

Deng Qianqiu said slowly, "This incident should have started three or four years ago. I checked the records. You were in the palace guards at that time, responsible for cleaning. You are Korean. It is said that among the eunuchs in this palace, Mongolians often have a higher status, followed by Koreans. Koreans mostly do more difficult work, right?"

Most of the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were brought from the Yuan Dynasty, and of course there were also many captives. This was not because people did not value Koreans. Rather, it was because most of the eunuchs who were castrated were the sons of Mongolian princes and nobles, who knew some culture to a certain extent. The so-called culture here does not just mean reading, because only people with a good life would know what things in the palace are precious and how to maintain them.

However, most of the eunuchs offered as tribute by the Goryeo people were rough men and could only do menial work.

Jin Si did not respond.

Deng Qianqiu looked very confident and smiled, "But, for some reason, you were transferred to Chunhe Palace to serve the Crown Prince, and even entered the teahouse in the main hall. The main hall is one of the most important places in the palace, and you serve the Crown Prince. Your future prospects are limitless."

Jin Si remained silent.

Deng Qianqiu sighed and said, "I have been thinking that something must have happened. How capable is the person who made this happen? But it doesn't matter. In other words, it doesn't matter. What we want to explore now is why this person let you be by the prince's side."

Jin Si hesitated for a moment, then suddenly sneered: "You are so smart, of course you can think of it."

"Yes." Deng Qianqiu nodded and continued, "I really thought of it. He did this to murder the crown prince, but what benefit can murdering the crown prince bring him?"

In response to Deng Qianqiu's question, Jin Si pursed his lips, looked at him coldly and ignored him.

Deng Qianqiu calmly asked himself and answered: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince encounters misfortune, who can benefit from it? I think about it and there are many people who can benefit, such as His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin..."

Deng Qianqiu was happy when he said this: "But His Royal Highness Prince Qin could only live in Xianliang Temple in the past. In this palace, if he wants someone to work hard for him, I'm afraid it's not easy..."

At this point, Deng Qianqiu paused as if on purpose, but Jin Si said coldly: "Really?"

Deng Qianqiu sighed and said, "Of course, the relationships in the palace are very complicated, and many things are hard to say."

When Deng Qianqiu said this, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting in the ear room next to him, had a look of worry on his face.

In fact, in addition to being extremely angry about this matter, what really frightened Zhu Yuanzhang was that the person who plotted to murder the prince was most likely in the palace or even a close relative of his.

If this happened, it would be a huge blow to Zhu Yuanzhang.

He frowned, said nothing, but gritted his teeth. For a moment, anger and fear surged into his heart.

At this time, Deng Qianqiu smiled and said, "But right now, if we follow the clues, we can find out who placed you next to the prince. This person was able to transfer you to Chunhe Palace and was able to come up with such a clever plan. If my guess is correct, this person... should be in the Silijian. Am I right?"

Jin Si's body trembled slightly, a hint of stiffness flashed across his face, and then he continued to close his eyes.

Deng Qianqiu glanced at Jin Si and continued, "I have already asked about it. You often go to the Imperial Household Department and give gifts during festivals. Among them... I should give you some first, there is Honey..."

At this time, Jin Si finally opened his eyes slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he said, "We have many people giving us gifts."

When Captain Zhou Hong heard this, he subconsciously took a step back.

He suddenly felt somewhat fortunate that Deng Qianqiu had volunteered to come for the interrogation.

We can't investigate this matter. If we continue to investigate, who knows who will be implicated in the palace.

In the ear chamber.

Ye Gaixian, who was standing next to Zhu Yuanzhang, turned pale when Deng Qianqiu called his name.

The next moment, he hurriedly bowed, carefully leaning against Zhu Yuanzhang, and whispered: "Your Majesty, these are all worthless things... I am innocent..."

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes, as if turning a deaf ear to his words.

Deng Qianqiu burst into laughter at this time. He stood up, walked around Jin Si, and said, "Hahahaha, you did get a lot of people to come and give a lot of gifts, but... there is a loophole."

"As far as I know, there is one person you didn't present a generous gift to. His name is Gao Youcai, and he is also a person who has the final say in the Imperial Household Department. However, you rarely hang out with him, and even... once you presented a gift to him, he ignored you. Rumor has it in the palace that he despises you."

Jin Si suddenly stared at Deng Qianqiu intently, and bit his lower lip as if he couldn't help it.

Deng Qianqiu chuckled and said, "It's strange. How could someone as flattering as you offend such an important eunuch in the Imperial Household Department? As far as I know, he should be ranked first in the Imperial Household Department, and Gao Youcai is right behind him as the second person."

Deng Qianqiu paused, then continued, "It's strange. Since Gao Youcai hates you so much, how could he keep you by the prince's side with his ability in the palace? For him, he only needs to use a little trick to make you go back to the Divine Palace. But even though he hates you, he ignores you and still lets you take on such an important responsibility in Chunhe Palace. Don't you think... it's strange?"

Jin Si stared at Deng Qianqiu with a stern face and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Deng Qianqiu continued to press: "Then is there another possibility that you are actually Gao Youcai's true confidant? You have a close relationship with him, but since you two have colluded, you deliberately distance yourself from each other to prevent others from knowing your activities. Because of this, people in the palace say that you have a bad relationship with him, but in fact, this person is your biggest backer."

Jin Si shook his head: "Oh, it's all nonsense, complete nonsense. Eunuch Gao... has nothing to do with me." When he said this, many people were moved.

Gao Youcai hated Jin Si so much, but when Deng Qianqiu said that Gao Youcai was a suspect, his behavior was so abnormal.

Zhou Hong, a captain standing nearby, had a hint of coldness in his eyes, as if he had begun to think about something.

In the ear room, when Zhu Yuanzhang heard the three words "Gao Youcai", his expression became more and more terrifying.

His expression also changed slightly.

In fact, as Ye Gaixian's deputy, Gao Youcai has always had the ambition to replace Ye Gaixian, so Ye Gaixian has always been wary of Gao Youcai.

But being wary is one thing, but for Ye Gaixian, Gao Youcai started out by serving Concubine Hu Chong, who gave birth to a son, Zhu Zhen, the King of Chu.

Not only that, Hu Chongfei's father and brother also held important positions in the military.

As one of Zhu Yuanzhang's concubines, although Hu Chong was not favored, her status was extraordinary because of her son.

If this person is highly talented, then...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but carefully glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was filled with murderous intent. He glanced at Ye Gaixian and said, "No matter who it is, they will be torn into pieces!"

He should have shuddered first, and then agreed, indicating that he already knew what to do.

Deng Qianqiu shouted, "Jin Si, you are about to die, do you think you can still get away with it? Even if you don't confess, someone else will. If you don't want others to know about this, you'd better not do it yourself. Do you really want Gao Youcai to confront you?"

Jin Si's eyes widened as he shouted, "Stop slandering me and wrongly accusing a good person."

Deng Qianqiu laughed: "Haha..."

He turned around and looked at Captain Zhou Hong: "Captain Zhou, what do you think about this?"

Zhou Hong narrowed his eyes, and a hint of cunning flashed across the depths of his eyes.

He thought for a moment and said, "I will ask Eunuch Gao to come over. Captain Deng, you have worked hard. You can go and take a rest."

Deng Qianqiu said: "How can you say that? You must always finish what you start. As for Eunuch Gao..."

Zhou Hong smiled and said, "Leave the rest to me. Come on, send Captain Deng to rest."

His words cannot be questioned. After all, he is a thousand households and has his own authority.

Deng Qianqiu had no choice but to say, "Thank you for your hard work, Captain Zhou."

Having said that, Deng Qianqiu went out unhappily, intending to go look for Zhu Yuanzhang.

But at this time they discovered that Zhu Yuanzhang had disappeared without a trace, taking Ye Gaixian with him.

Deng Qianqiu scratched his head. This guy...appears and disappears mysteriously...

But he didn't dare to delay now and left the palace quickly.

Afterwards, at Xianliang Temple, ten young men were already waiting anxiously.

After receiving Zhu Yuanzhang's order, Deng Qianqiu immediately asked someone to deliver the order to Jin Wang Zhu Gang, asking Zhu Gang to help him select ten young men from the Wucheng Bingmasi, who must have clean backgrounds and be young.

Now, these ten people have gathered together, and they are feeling uneasy. When they heard that a centurion of the Yiluansi wanted to promote them to the Yiluansi, they were excited but also terrified.

Because in their imagination, this was simply impossible, and now that it happened suddenly, it made people feel that there must be something strange going on.

But at this time, Deng Qianqiu finally appeared. He glanced at the young men and said, "From today on, you will follow me. The waters in the Yiluansi are very deep and you cannot control them. But it doesn't matter. As long as you follow my instructions, I can guarantee that you will have a glorious future."

"Now, I am too lazy to say anything more. I will give you a great achievement. Check your swords and knives carefully. After making sure they are safe, go and capture the rebels immediately. This is a great achievement. If you catch them, I will guarantee you wealth for three generations!"
