Daming: From the end of Hongwu

185 Chapter 183 - Relativity of Humanity and Justice

In Beiping City, not far from the southwest of King Yan's Mansion, there is a temple called Qingshou Temple, which was built in the 26th year of Jin Shizong's Dading, and it has been 200 years ago. The Haiyun Pagoda is a seven-level Ke'an Pagoda, so it is also called "Twin Pagoda Temple".

Because the twin pagodas are in the pattern of octagonal dense eaves, there is a bit of exquisite charm in the towering towers.

In the early morning, the wind blows, and the silver bells praying under the eaves jingle, as if to convey the most sincere beliefs of believers.

And the sound of the silver bell, accompanied by the wind, was sent to the nearby houses every day, washing the hearts of the busy people, but this day, Wang Yuan only felt that the sound was irritating.

He withdrew his gaze from looking at the twin towers through the window, and slowly looked at his brother-in-law.

He suppressed his voice, and also suppressed his throbbing anger.

"How dare you provoke such a big trouble, do you know that this is Beiping city, not Xi'an city, and the king here is the king of Yan, not the king of Qin."

The brother-in-law looked casual, raised his eyebrows frivolously and said: "So what? Those two girls followed me all the way into Beiping City, so let's just forget about it. If you find out, you can't just ignore it."

He really didn't take this matter seriously, his family has been helping the King of Qin to make money in Xi'an City, things like lighting a fire yesterday, in his eyes, are not worth mentioning at all.

However, Wang Yuan gasped from his nostrils and couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "So what? Let me tell you, if this matter is found out on your head, you won't have enough heads to chop off."

"It's funny, why don't you just set it on fire, at worst, send some money to the palace."

"Send money?"

Wang Yuan said angrily: "Do you think King Yan is the same as King Qin? Don't say that our two families have nothing to do with King Yan's mansion, even if your family is backed by King Qin just like your family is backed by King Qin. If something like this happens, King Yan will also kill you That’s right, you want to buy your life with a mere amount of money? Even if it can buy your life, it can’t buy King Yan’s sword.”

Seeing Wang Yuan's cautious appearance, the brother-in-law finally sat up straight. He was no longer so lazy and carefree, and his expression became serious: "Is it really so serious?"

"You think I'm joking with you?"

"What should I do?"

After the brother-in-law finished speaking, he explained: "Speaking of which, yesterday was indeed an accident, and I didn't expect such a commotion to happen, but this time I didn't bring any familiar murderers with me, so it happened accidentally."

Wang Yuan gritted his teeth angrily, and wanted to curse, but he opened his mouth and finally held back.

It's useless to talk about the matter now, who let this person be his brother-in-law, he can only find a way to help him cover it up.

"For the next few days, you can just stay at home and wait for the limelight. As for those who went out to do errands yesterday, I will find a chance and directly..." Wang Yuan wiped his neck.

My brother-in-law's heart trembled.

However, he didn't say much, those people were his family's servants, it didn't matter to him whether they died or not, since Wang Yuan felt it was necessary, he could just kill them.

However, there was one thing that he felt had to do, and he had to mention it.

"Brother, I have no objection to the matter of killing and silence, but those two girls must die."

The brother-in-law looked at Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan also looked deeply at his brother-in-law.

Seeing that my brother-in-law's expression was no longer natural, I asked just now: "Tell me honestly, did you cause trouble in Xi'an, or why did you come to Peiping in such a hurry?"

"Can... what can I do." The brother-in-law stammered, "I just want to come to Peiping to see my brother."

"Ha ha."

Wang Yuan sneered twice, without pointing it out, and said after a moment of pondering: "Those two girls, you don't need to worry about it. I spent money to hire some people from the world to do it. If I have money, I will do it myself. I don't know what to say about you." Stupid, it was King Qin who raised you up to be arrogant."

After speaking, Wang Yuan turned around and went out to work.

The brother-in-law stared at Wang Yuan's leaving back in a daze.

Arrogant?

Backed by the King of Qin, how can he not be arrogant, this time he directly tortured and killed nearly a hundred people for the King of Qin in Xi'an, including two court officials, didn't the emperor still cover up this matter? !
No, it should not be the emperor's father, but the current prince, who has a deep brotherly love and covers up for his younger brother in every possible way.

Speaking of it, it is really brotherly love.

The King of Qin wanted to prevent the prince from making a westward tour, so he even went so far as to assassinate him.

But he didn't act, and the news was leaked to the crown prince the next night. King Qin ordered him to torture and kill the informers in a rage.

How can this not be called a deep brotherhood? !

……

Yingtianfu, the imperial palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao's urgently sent pleading letters several times in a row, and after reading them, he threw all the letters on the ground angrily.

He intends to move the capital to Xi'an, and many people know about it.

He knew better that this move would definitely involve the dissatisfaction of many interest groups, but he did not expect that the first dissatisfaction popped up would be King Qin.

This alone is fine, Zhu Yuanzhang is not afraid of any difficulties in his life.

But what made him angry was that after he took down Queen Qin, Zhu Biao, as his only designated heir, stood up to intercede.

"plead?"

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the thing in a rage and threw it out: "He came to beg again, and he came to beg again, why should he beg for this bastard?"

As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang became even angrier when he thought of some rumors about King Qin's behavior in Xi'an: "Come here, let us go to Xi'an to investigate, find out the facts for us, and give us all the violations of laws and disciplines committed by King Qin after he entered the feudal domain." Check it out, we must deal with this bastard thing."

The people below bowed down in fear.

I was even more worried.

How to check this?

What should I find out? !

Zhu Yuanzhang glared angrily at the people who were kneeling, and seeing that there was no movement, he picked up the things and threw them at them: "Don't let us check."

Everyone didn't dare to argue, and quickly retreated.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched the people recede, like a deflated ball, and sat down on the chair with gray hair. Looking at the map of the territory of Ming Dynasty hanging on the side, looking at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, he suddenly felt sad and wanted to cry.

His life was full of ups and downs, so that he hated evil like hatred.

He wanted to give the people of the world a fair world, but as he got older, he felt that it was as difficult as reaching the sky to make the people of the world wholeheartedly serve the public.

It is infinitely more difficult than fighting the world.

He thinks about his years.

There will always be greedy people in this world.

He didn't understand why he would let waves of people band together to resist his policies just to curb their greed.

This is true of civil servants, and so is Wu Xun.

Greed can never be satisfied, but why don't they understand that being able to eat well is the biggest luxury of the common people, and why are they still dissatisfied.

Zhu Yuanzhang's gray beard trembled slightly.

The sons didn't understand him either. After all, the living environment was different. He stood with the common people, but they stood with the ruling class.

A prince who has become a common people.

A prince who only thinks of benevolence and righteousness.

But benevolence and righteousness are relative.

For those civil servants and gentry, they are arrogant, martial and benevolent, but do you know how many bullied people need to be ignored behind the benevolence and righteousness? !

Pleading, pleading, don't be damned begging, damned begging too? !
