“是，少爷！”
管家退下后，侯方域拿起画笔，走到案前想要继续画完，却不想站了那里却没有下笔，半响之后他摇头叹道：“哎，兴致全无，罢了，罢了，先去见这烦人精便是！”
侯方域转过身来，早有在一旁时候的婢女送了装满温水的玉盆上来，侍候他洗了手，又换了一身宽松的青衣，他才懒洋洋过了游廊，来到厢房。屋内坐着的是一个三十多岁的中年士人，看到侯方域进来赶忙站起身来，躬身道：“候公子，在下受玉绳先生所托，为了一件要紧事前来，打扰了！”
侯方域听对方口气，倒不像是为了周延儒的起复，赶忙笑道：“玉绳先生乃海内所望，方域乃后生晚辈，如何敢当打扰二字！”
那士人从怀中取出一封信，双手呈给侯方域：“信中事极为要紧，玉绳先生本欲直接交给令尊，又担心令尊身边人多眼杂，走漏了风声，还请公子看完后尽快转告令尊，禀明圣上！”
侯方域接过书信，刚刚看了两行，脸色顿时大变，问道：“这信上说的当真？”
“字字是实，并无半字虚言！”那士子低声道：“经过探查，囤积粮食的有四五家，但背后都指向一个名叫程二先生的商人，此人交游极广，还是扬州巡抚徐鹤城的挚友！”
“徐鹤城？”侯方域念了一下这个名字，突然现出一丝喜色来，他站起身来：“先生且在我府中休息两日，待到家父回来，我立刻禀明他！”
乾清宫。
“此事当真？”崇祯将信笺狠狠的拍在御案上，脸上已经是一片铁青。
侯恂沉声道：“陛下，这信上人名、商号名称、粮食多少，粮价升跌都写的清清楚楚，岂会有假？”
“那为何不将这些贼人拿下拷问？”崇祯已经是声色俱厉，两旁的太监宫女连忙屏住呼吸，唯恐惹来杀身之祸。
“微臣以为有两个原因！”侯恂镇定自若的答道：“其一、这程二先生既然是扬州巡抚徐鹤城的挚友，只怕徐大人也与这件事情有牵连，他麾下有数千精兵，尤其是两千夷丁，精悍异常，当初屡破流寇。若是激起变乱，只怕江南糜烂，一不可收拾！”
“那其二呢？”崇祯点了点头，俗话说一朝被蛇咬，十年怕井绳。当初陕西勤王兵变，结果是流寇纵横十余省，耗费军饷千余万两才镇压下去，损失的人力物力无法计算。若是这次在江南财赋再来一次，朝廷恐怕是再也拿不出这么多银子来镇压了。
侯恂并没有立即回答，他看了看四周，崇祯见状明白对方是有顾忌，便使了个眼色，身后的王承恩尖声道：“都退下吧！”殿内侍候的宫女太监们都退了下去。
“候先生，殿内只有你我君臣二人，你放心说吧！”
“是，陛下！”侯恂点了点头：“微臣得知这件事情后，派人去查了一下这位徐巡抚的履历，现此人乃是由杨辅举荐至兵部职方司做了员外郎，然后因杀贼有功为扬州兵备道，一路升迁上来的，可谓是官运亨通呀！”
“杨先生？”崇祯的眉头危险的皱了起来，他沉吟了一会：“侯先生你退下吧，方才你与朕的对话不许泄露出去！”
见崇祯这幅模样，侯恂心中已经达到自己的目的了，他跪下磕了个头，道：“臣遵旨！”
侯恂的身影刚刚在殿门口消失，崇祯便厉声道：“王大伴，你去查证一下这个徐鹤城的底细！”
王承恩的工作效率很高，不过一顿饭功夫，他便拿着十余份书册回到殿内。崇祯拿起书册细看了起来，不一会儿脸色便越难看起来，他猛地一甩衣袖，将御案上的文房四宝与一些零散物件扫落在地，厉声骂道：“想不到，想不到哇，这杨文弱竟然是这等狼心狗肺之徒！寡人这双眼睛当真是瞎了，竟然让他骗了这么多年！”
“皇爷，是不是请杨先生过来对质一番？”王承恩低声道。
“还要对质什么？”崇祯怒喝道：“一个商贾，竟然一下子就授给兵部职方司员外郎这等要官，然后就青云直上，先是扬州兵备道，然后又是扬州巡抚，前朝有这等旧例吗？而此人私囤粮食，图谋不轨，难道与这杨文弱一点关系都没有？还有，这徐鹤城哪里来的那么多银钱来买粮？杨文弱他为何明明天下太平，却不肯裁汰旧军？停征晋饷？与民休息？他到底怀了一颗怎样的狼心狗肺？”
王承恩张了张嘴，说不出话来，凭本能他觉得在这件事情上杨嗣昌是冤枉的，但徐鹤城的升迁明显不符合正常明朝官吏的路线，如果说杨嗣昌在这个过程中没有插手那是鬼都不信的。而徐鹤城的行为也极为可疑，把这些和杨嗣昌这段时间以来一直不肯停止征晋饷联系起来，崇祯产生疑心也是很正常的。如果是一般人倒也罢了，问题是崇祯是天子，他对臣下产生疑心已经足以作为定罪的理由了。
崇祯越说越气，双眼中已经流出泪来：“朕竟然如此薄德，治下出了这等奸臣。”说到这里，已经是手足颤抖。王承恩见状，赶忙伸手将其扶住，一边轻抚其背，一边低声劝慰道：“皇爷且息怒，可别气坏了身子骨，要不然祖宗留下的江山怎么办？天下百姓怎么办？”
在王承恩的安抚下，崇祯好一会儿方才平静了下来：“王大伴，替朕起诏！”
王承恩暗叫不好，但他身为一个刑余之人，不过是天子家奴，哪里有抗拒的余地，只得取来笔墨纸砚，屏住呼吸，等待着崇祯的声音。
崇祯喝了一口参汤，稍微平定了一下自己的情绪，沉声道：“朕以凉德，缵承大统，意与天下更新，用还祖宗之旧。不期倚任非人……”
盛京。
“大人，大人！”赵文德飞快的登上凤凰楼的台阶，一边高声道：“京师有要紧消息！”
“要紧消息？”刘成从地图上抬起头来：“什么要紧消息，让你紧张的满头是汗的？来人，给赵先生拿碗酸梅汤来，解解暑气！”
