In fact, Zhu Ji received the order only to check the stolen money and did not obtain direct evidence of Gao Gu's corruption.

Among the testimony Cao Nai received, Gao Gu's nephew and some officials in Nanjing, all of whom admitted that they had given Gao Gu's money and how much they had given. The record was clear, but Gao Gu's own confession was not available.

In other words, Gao Gu did not plead guilty.

All testimony is indirect, so they strongly oppose it and should not act rashly until the matter is clear.

Otherwise, if it is finally found out that someone is wronged or even framed deliberately, then the Jinyiwei's actions will undoubtedly force the old minister to a dead end.

How can the cabinet ministers be bullied so much?

The impact of this incident will affect the face of civil officials throughout the Ming Dynasty and even all scholars.

At present, the Jinyiwei did not find any favorable evidence. After struggling for most of the day, he only found only 500 taels of deposited silver. As the auxiliary minister of the cabinet, this amount of silver is really not enough.

Cao Nai was very angry, and Zhu Qiyu's face was also ugly. He was due to the emperor's affection and planned to suppress this matter, but he did not expect that he would not accept his affection at all.

Zhu Ji held the note tightly in his hand and said with a calm expression: "Actually not far away, it's just the street behind."

There was such a big stir in Nanjing, and the officials on the coast of Fuzhou caught him by themselves. He didn't believe that these people would be groundless and forcefully snatch the shit on the head of the high hub.

This stolen silver must have been hidden somewhere, and it only takes some time to find it.

Even if he didn't find anything now, he firmly believed that he must have missed some important information.

Just now, there was only one line of words written on this note, and there was a special symbol in the lower right corner of the note.

The ultimate sound guard!

When Zhu Ji saw this symbol, all his worries and anxiety were immediately wiped out.

The Jueshengwei organization is the most mysterious existence in the Ming Dynasty.

In the early years of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed the deaf strategist Lu Buyong and the mute general Yang Zhongkai to establish Jueshengwei. These two were both literary and military, and were proficient in lip speaking, and cultivated a large number of deaf and mute spys.

Because these people are born with disabilities, they will not attract the attention of others no matter where they are.

In this way, physical incompleteness becomes an advantage.

During the early Ming Dynasty, the role of Jueshengwei should not be underestimated.

No matter what your identity is, no matter how secret you do, as long as you are targeted, what you have done at home, who have met, what words you have said, what meals you ate at night, and who can sleep with, the next day, a small note will appear in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

At that time, many people thought that these things were done by the Jinyiwei.

Who knows that although the Jinyiwei is omnipresent, his ability to inquire about information is far inferior to Jushengwei.

Because of this, Zhu Yuanzhang attached more and more importance to Jue Shengwei and set rules that no one except the emperor himself was allowed to contact Jue Shengwei in private. As long as he discovered it, he would be punished as a rebellious person.

Moreover, in order to maintain the mystery of Jueshengwei, Zhu Yuanzhang once stipulated that if the emperor's orders made Jueshengwei in danger of being exposed, then Jueshengwei commander had the right to decide whether to implement it based on the situation at that time.

That's right, the commander of the Juesheng Guard has the power to reject the emperor's orders.

In other words, people can resist the order and fail to comply.

Since then, all emperors have strictly abide by this ancestral teaching, and even Wang Zhen, who was once the most powerful, has never contacted Jueshengwei.

Before Zhu Qizhen's northern expedition, he had revealed some information about Jue Shengwei to Zhu Ji, but he did not give him any power. He only said that if Jue Shengwei came to him, the Jinyiwei must cooperate unconditionally.

The man's actions just now were extremely secret, and Zhu Qiyu and others were not attentive. Of course, I don't know that Zhu Ji had already added a small note in his hand.

Just based on this note, Zhu Ji believed that the truth of the matter would be revealed soon.

At this time, I saw someone coming in a hurry. It turned out to be Gao Gu’s two sons, Gao Zidong and Gao Ziliang.

Gao Zidong worked in the Hanlin Academy and Gao Ziliang worked in the Ministry of Justice. When the two learned that their home had been confiscated, they rushed back in a hurry.

When Gao Chen saw his son come back, he burst into tears.

The Gao Zidong and his brothers first saluted Zhu Qiyu, and then came to Zhu Ji angrily, as if they were about to fight to the death.

Now, all the pressure is put on Zhu Ji. The scholars and the people at the scene accused the Jinyiwei of persecuting loyal and kind-hearted people. It seemed that the Jinyiwei was all unforgivable people and those who harmed the country and the people.

Zhu Ji smiled calmly and said, "It's time for you to come. Do you know who the house behind you belongs to?"

These two houses are next to each other, but the one that Gao Gu lives in the south, and the gate facing south, and the gate to the north is in the north, so it is equivalent to being separated by a street.

Gao Zidong was stunned at first, then said angrily: "How can I know who it is?"

Immediately afterwards, Gao Ziliang said, "It seems like a merchant from Nanjing. What are you asking about this?"

Zhu Ji said, "If you are interested, let's go and see together, how about it?"

Gao Zidong said dissatisfiedly: "You have confiscated my house and found nothing, just want to leave?"

At this time, Li Linsheng also came over and said, "That's right, today, if the Jinyiwei doesn't give an explanation, no one can leave this place!"

Faced with the accusations of everyone, Zhu Ji waved his hand and said, "I didn't say I left, I just went to the house behind to see, how about it?"

"What exactly do you... want to do?"

"You'll know when you go over and take a look!"

Zhu Ji took people to the back street without saying a word.

Gao Zidong wanted to stop him, but saw that he was pressing his hand on the hilt of the knife, so he had to ask Zhu Qiyu for help.

"Your Highness, my father worked hard all his life for the Ming Dynasty and worked diligently, but in the end he ended up like this. My father is really wronged!"

Zhu Qiyu was helpless and had to say, "If Jinyiwei didn't find it again, I will make the decision for you!"

After saying that, he turned around and followed.

Cao Nai and others followed closely, Gao Zidong, Li Linsheng and others followed them all. The people were confused and naturally ran to watch.

Zhu Ji crushed the note in his hand, came to the house on the back street, and ordered someone to knock on the door.

Not long after, a concierge opened the door and exposed half of his head.

"Who are you looking for...ah!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Ji had already kicked up, kicked the door open, and rushed in directly.

At this time, Zhu Qiyu had just arrived in front of him and happened to see this scene and couldn't help but frown.

In broad daylight, this is too arrogant!

However, what he didn't expect was that the more arrogant one was still behind.

The doorman covered his head and got up, shouting, "What are you doing? My master is..."

Zhu Ji took out the embroidered sword from his waist with a whistle and put it on the doorman's neck.

"Now I ask you what you say, you will say whatever you say, if you hide it..."

The doorman's eyes were straightened and he hurriedly said, "No... I dare not hide it..."

"Who is the owner of this house?"

"this……"

The concierge said in embarrassment: "I don't know!"

"What?"

Zhu Ji's face turned pale, and he added some strength to his hand holding the knife.

"Don't...don't...I really don't know who the owner of this house is. You can ask Manager Li!"

"Who is Manager Li?"

“Just…just…”

At this time, a Jinyiwei School Captain grabbed someone and came close to him. The doorman's eyes lit up and said, "He is Manager Li!"

The man named Manager Li was also held on his neck with a knife, and his face turned pale and his body kept trembling.

"Father?"

Someone suddenly shouted in the crowd, and Li Linsheng looked at Manager Li with a surprised look.

Manager Li is in this situation now, and he is not agreeing, nor is he not agreeing, and the scene is a bit awkward.

Li Linsheng was puzzled and asked, "Father, why are you here?"

The Gao Zidong brothers also came up and asked, "Manager Li, what's going on?"

Manager Li lowered his head and refused to speak. Zhu Ji immediately ordered: "Search!"

"yes!"

Soon after, someone heard someone shouting: "Finished, found!"

Everyone looked in the voice and saw a captain running over and said excitedly: "Sir, inside!"

Zhu Ji was very excited, waved his hand and ordered: "Go!"

Seeing this, Zhu Qiyu vaguely felt something was wrong, so he followed.

This is also a two-in-one yard. The front yard is ordinary and there is nothing to see. However, when we arrived at the back yard, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of us.

Logically speaking, the back house should be where the family book lives, but here is densely packed, all of which are warehouses.

These warehouses, one after another, it can be seen that this house is simply for people to live in, and the warehouse...
