Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 25 Winning beautifully!

Minister of the Criminal Ministry, Master Yang?

Yang Jing?

Huang Xiongying was taken aback, she didn't expect the old man to beat the drum of grievances and invite this master here.

This Yang Jing is not simple.

Although he is only in his 30s, he is already the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice and a second-rank official in the court.

The real young people know how to advance and retreat.

The most commendable thing is that he was born in a commoner family. With such a background, he was able to be successful in official career and proud of himself.

This just shows that this person has extraordinary intelligence and extraordinary talent.

but……

A second-rank member of the imperial court, who could be called a rising star, would come here for a little-known ass like him?

This is very weird!
The explanation Huang Xiongying could think of was that either the old man invited him here, or Zhou Ji invited him in his father's honor.

If it was invited by the old man, then the identity of the old man is really not simple.

Just as confused as Huang Xiongying was Zhou Ji.

He asked the steward to report to the officials, why did he invite all the ministers of the Ministry of punishment?
Is the Ministry of Punishment doing this all by itself now?

The old man at home has enough face!

Zhou Ji seemed to understand something in his heart, a grim smile appeared on his bruised and swollen face, and he immediately greeted him: "Master Yang, you are here!"

Yang Jing nodded slightly, scanned the courtyard for a week, and was immediately dumbfounded.

This……

The Holy One is here, and Concubine Guo Hui is here too!
As soon as he was in place today, he received an order from the Holy Master, asking him to bring people here quickly. Is it a big deal?

Shocked and puzzled, Yang Jing was about to step forward and salute.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang made a secret gesture to tell Yang Jing not to come.

Yang Jing was taken aback, what does His Majesty mean by this?
Don't reveal his identity?
Yang Jing was able to climb to such a high position at such a young age, how smart he was, and when he looked at the casual clothes on the saint's body, he immediately understood.

Holy Majesty, this is a private visit via Weibo!
While hesitating, Zhou Ji came over, licking his face.

"Master Yang, please take your seat!"

With that said, Zhou Ji took a chair and put it on the side of the desk.

Yang Jing secretly glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and after seeing the latter gesturing to him, he walked to the edge of the desk, but he did not sit down, but stood.

Seeing this, Zhou Ji was puzzled: "Master Yang, why are you standing there? Please take a seat!"

The corners of Yang Jing's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "I'm used to hearing cases standing up."

Zhou Ji was a little confused when he heard the words. The Minister of the Ministry of punishment still has such a habit of standing up to hear the case?Why hadn't he heard of it.

Yang Jing tidied up his official uniform, restored his fair and strict appearance, cleared his throat, and said:
"You are Jiang Xiahou's son, Zhou Ji?"

"It's the subordinate."

"You sent someone to report to the officials in Shuntian Mansion, what is the matter? Tell me quickly!"

The corner of Zhou Ji's mouth twitched, he pointed at Huang Xiongying, and said with a sneer, "I sue Huang Xiongying, a troublemaker, for not fulfilling the agreement, and contemptuous of the imperial court, beating the official!"

With that said, Zhou Ji pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang viciously:

"There is also a lawsuit against the old man, conspiring with his grandson, intending to kill the imperial court official, deliberately plotting rebellion!"

One mouthful of rebellion made Yang Jing break out in cold sweat.

He took a pitiful look at the arrogant Zhou Ji. This kid is really miserable, and he actually sued the current Holy Majesty for the crime of treason.

It's pitifully stupid...

Yang Jing withdrew his gaze, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said respectfully, "That...Huang...Master Huang, you...do you have anything to say?"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak, but looked at Huang Xiongying.

"Grassman Huang Xiongying has something to say!"

Huang Xiongying stood up and pointed at Zhou Ji: "My lord, this man has no law of the king, broke into the house privately, intending to rob my ancestral secret recipe, and the grassroots were forced to protect themselves, so they resisted!"

"My grandfather couldn't see it, so he beat him!"

your grandpa?
Yang Jing stared, only to hear Zhou Ji angrily say:

"Fart, you fucking shit! I signed a sales contract with you, which is compliant and legal. How could it be stealing your ancestral secret recipe? You are not a fool, are you?"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Ji touched the paper in his arms, and glanced at Huang Xiongying like a fool.

There are written evidences, even if the Holy Majesty is here in person today, I will not be afraid!
Yang Jing looked suspiciously at Huang Xiongying.

Who is this kid?
How could he be called Grandpa Sheng?

Even Yang Jing had a delicate mind, so he couldn't figure out the reason for it for a while.

The only thing he knows is that the reason His Majesty called him here is because of this kid.

But it doesn't look like a lie to see Zhou Ji's swearing.

If the evidence is in favor of Zhou Ji for a while, what should I do?

He thought he was a decent official, but if he disobeyed the old emperor's wishes, it would not end well!
Yang Jing felt troubled for a moment, and secretly glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang.

But found that the latter was watching with great interest, and didn't have any intention of interfering...

Under everyone's suspicious eyes, Huang Xiongying smiled and said, "That's right, we have signed a contract."

Zhou Ji smiled complacently when he heard the words.

Yang Jing was also a little confused when he heard it: "Since the document has been signed, why do you still say that Zhou Ji robbed your ancestral secret recipe?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ji quickly echoed: "My lord, you have also seen that this person not only does not want to fulfill the contract, but is messing around, and even beats the official. I think he is contemptuous of the court and intends to rebel. Immediately throw him into the jail and torture him to confess!"

Yang Jing secretly glanced at the old emperor again.

The latter is like an old monk in meditation, very calm, watching quietly.

Looking away, Yang Jing asked Huang Xiongying, "What else do you have to say?"

Under everyone's suspicious eyes, Huang Xiongying still said calmly: "My lord, it is true that we have ordered a document, but the document is that I bought him wine and salt, not to give him the formula."

???

Several question marks popped up on Zhou Ji's forehead.

Since when did Huang Xiongying become so stupid, here are the words in black and white, how dare he turn the truth upside down?
Zhou Ji and the steward looked at each other. Instead of being angry, they smiled all over their faces, looking at Huang Xiongying like a fool.

It is said that they read it no less than ten times.

Could be wrong? !

Yang Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, is here, still turning right and wrong, that is, playing lanterns in the latrine, looking for shit!

Zhou Ji took out the written evidence, waved it in front of Huang Xiongying, and said triumphantly:
"Here is the written evidence. Lord Yang can read it. This brat is full of nonsense. He not only breached the contract, but also openly beat court officials and deliberately rebelled. May I ask Lord Yang, what should this person do?"

Yang Jing glanced at Zhou Ji and didn't want to say anything. This person is obviously with the current emperor, so why would he rebel.

You look like the one who rebelled!
Yang Jing couldn't help giving Zhou Ji a pitiful look.

Feeling Yang Jing's loving gaze, Zhou Ji was even more confident, handed Yang Jing the written proof, and said proudly: "Here is the written proof, Mr. Yang, please have a look!"

"Huang Xiongying, this time we not only want your formula, we also want you to go to jail!"

Seeing Zhou Ji's determined look, Yang Jing and Concubine Guo Hui couldn't help frowning.

They couldn't figure out why Huang Xiongying would say such confusing words.

There are black and white words here, no matter how eloquent you are, you can't justify it.

Only Zhu Yuanzhang was still watching quietly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised unconsciously...

Yang Jing took the paper in Zhou Ji's hand and opened it.

"Ok?"

Yang Jing's brows gradually frowned, his expression became a little confusing, he raised his eyes, and gave Zhou Ji a meaningful look.

Zhou Ji was inexplicably guilty, what happened to Mr. Yang?Does it take that long to read a document?

is there any problem?

"My lord, are you not mistaken?" The steward asked suspiciously.

Zhou Ji shook his head resolutely: "It's impossible to be wrong, I put this word on my chest, never leave my body, it's impossible to make mistakes..."

"Master Yang, is there any problem with the document?"

Zhou Ji asked cautiously.

"no problem."

Yang Jing shook his head slightly: "It is written in the document that Zhou Ji, the son of Marquis of Jiang Xia, bought a copy of wine and salt from Huang Xiongying today, and Zhou Ji needs to deliver Fangshan in Zhou's fiefdom to Huang Xiongying to complete the transaction. .”

what? !

Zhou Ji picked out his ears, suspecting that he had heard wrong.

"It's not like that, Mr. Yang, are you missing something?"

Hearing this, Yang Jing glanced at Zhou Ji who was full of disbelief, and then flipped through the written documents back and forth.

"It's not missing... Oh, there are a few more words."

When Zhou Ji heard it, he breathed a sigh of relief, and I just said, how could it become like that?

Unless there is witchcraft!
Yang Jing read lightly:

"And... the signatories, Huang Xiongying and Zhou Ji."

???

After hearing this, Zhou Ji had another question mark on his face, and hurriedly asked:

"there is none left?"

"there is none left!"

"Are you sure, it's really gone?!"

"Bold! Are you illiterate as an official?!"

Zhou Ji didn't care about Sanqi 21, and snatched the written documents from Yang Jing's hand.

Take a look.

Immediately, I was dumbfounded, as if I was hit on the head with a stick.

"This...how is this possible...how is it possible..."

Zhou Ji was petrified, like a clay sculpture, muttering in his mouth, as if he had seen a ghost.

what happened?

The steward, who had suspected Zhou Ji's mistake from the beginning, looked at Zhou Ji who was sweating profusely, with a puzzled expression on his face.

This document will not really change by itself, will it? !

The steward hurried over to take a look.

Instantly struck by lightning.

Heck!
The handwriting clearly reads: Zhou Ji, the son of the Marquis of Jiang Xia, bought a copy of wine and a copy of salt from Huang Xiongying. Zhou Ji needs to deliver Fangshan in the Zhou family fief to Huang Xiongying, and the transaction can be completed.

He remembered that the written evidence was clearly like this: Zhou Ji, the son of the Marquis of Jiang Xia, bought a copy of wine making and salt making formula from Huang Xiongying.

What about words?What are the words of the formula?

How could it disappear out of thin air, is it really a ghost? !
Or does the kid surnamed Huang have demon skills? !
"Your...Young master, you can't make a mistake, right?"

"I misunderstood your old lady, this is the only one I have in my hand!"

Zhou Ji's face, which was originally bruised and swollen, turned red and turned green again, and he was about to cry.

He couldn't believe it and flipped through the written documents back and forth, only to see that the signer had clearly written on it, and it was stamped with his Zhou Ji's handprint.

Can't go wrong!
It can't be a subcontract, it was obviously signed yesterday.

But what about the word recipe?
Looking at Zhou Ji and others with wonderful expressions, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help chuckling.

"Brat, you did a good trick. Although it's a trick, it's nice to win..."
