Daming: I was exposed by Zhu Di's Sims life!

Chapter 303 The knife rises and falls, blood splatters three feet

Jin Yiwei, who escorted King Chongyang back, couldn't stand it any longer: "Prince Shu, why don't we talk about business first?"

"Yes, yes, it is necessary to talk about business."

The King of Shu came back to his senses, fished in his sleeve, took out a large bank note, and muttered, "Hey, I don't know where to put this bank note, why don't you keep it for me first?"

As he spoke, he forced the bank note into Jin Yiwei's hand.

Jin Yiwei glanced at it and couldn't help clicking his tongue.

A total of 2000 taels of silver, this is not a treasure to fool people, but a real bank note, which can be exchanged for the equivalent amount of silver at the corresponding silver bank in Sichuan.

This prince of Shu is really generous enough.

Jin Yiwei said: "My lord, to be honest, Beijing has already sent a letter to Jin Yiwei."

The king of Shu was in awe, and took out another bank note and asked Jin Yiwei to keep it for him first.

Jin Yiwei said: "The person from the East Palace means that since the King of Gu has already subdued the law, there is no need to delve into this matter further. As for the 'little things' that happened in Chengdu earlier, that person thinks that you, my lord, are the ones who should be punished this time. Yu Gu Wangzhong has merits, merits and demerits offset, the Jinyiwei in Chengdu will withdraw, as long as the prince does not touch the relevant matters, the Jinyiwei will not investigate again."

The king of Shu nodded and stuffed another bank note.

Jin Yiwei immediately changed his words: "My lord, please don't worry, you can come here as you like, I will take care of the Jin Yiwei in this area of ​​Chengdu, as long as you don't make too much noise, I will pretend not to see, alas, alas, what are you doing, my lord? Another one..."

"Ahem, I'm actually blind, I can't see anything."

"My lord, don't stuff it, don't stuff it, I can't hold it anymore, uh...how about I sing you a song?"

……

After Jin Yiwei left Shu Palace, he took a detour, but saw a man standing motionless like a stone statue under a lush tree.

It was Zhang Muzhi.

He looked at Jin Yiwei and asked, "You go to see the King of Shu, what's his attitude?"

Jin Yiwei took out all the silver notes that the King of Shu had given him before, and handed them to Zhang Muzhi respectfully: "This is from the King of Shu to the humble job. It seems that he is also a little guilty and wants to use silver to buy the humble job."

Zhang Muzhi didn't take the banknote, but pushed it back into the hand of the Jinyiwei: "You can keep this money for yourself, I will make a decision for you, and it will be the extra money for you this year."

"Thank you sir."

Jin Yiwei did not refuse, but honestly stuffed it into his cuffs.

From the very beginning, he collected money from the King of Shu, which was actually in Zhang Muzhi's budget. He just wanted to take this opportunity to observe the attitude of the King of Shu.

Jin Yiwei asked: "My lord, do we still want to attack Gao Zheng, the guard of Chengdu, this Gao Zheng has a close relationship with the Shu Palace, if we attack Gao Zheng, then..."

Zhang Muzhi's eyes were cold: "Kill."

……

After seeing off Jin Yiwei, the smile on King Shu's face gradually faded.

King Chongyang, who had experienced a life-and-death catastrophe, obviously improved a lot in IQ, and he was also more keen in observing words and expressions. Seeing his father's solemn expression, he asked, "Father, is there anything wrong with this Jinyiwei? He was so happy when he took the money..."

The King of Shu shook his head and sighed, "Your Uncle Gao, I can't keep the King this time either."

King Chongyang was surprised: "Father, what do you mean? Uncle Gao and our palace are in-laws. His son Brother Gao married my eldest sister. Since the imperial court has no intention of doing anything to our Shu Palace, why should it attack Uncle Gao?" , could it be that... the imperial court still wants to kill our palace?!"

"Not so much."

The King of Shu said, "I sold King Gu this time and expressed my position to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace. The Palace of the Prince of Shu is firmly on the side of the imperial court. This helped the Palace of the Shu Palace escape disaster. The imperial court should not I will pursue the matter of the Shu Palace embezzling people's land and selling it for public tax, otherwise you will not be able to come back to Chengdu."

King Chongyang was puzzled: "Since this is the case, why does the father still say that Uncle Gao is going to have an accident?"

"Silly son, your Uncle Gao cannot escape this calamity. Don't forget, the reason why Jin Yiwei wanted to investigate Shu Palace and Gu Palace in the first place was because of reselling private salt."

The King of Shu said quietly, "This matter is very involved. The Palace of the Prince of Shu, the Palace of the King of Gu, and even the Palace of the Prince of Gan are involved. Now that the whole family of the King of Gu is dead, the king of the vassal must die with dignity in the face of the crime. If it’s not the turn of King Gu to carry it, then only King Gu’s Mansion and Prince Gan’s Mansion are left.”

"And the water in the Prince Gan's mansion is not too deep. At least it has nothing to do with the King Gan himself. At most, some people under his hands did not obey his orders and made a hole for him. After all the calculations, we are the only ones left. The palace is here."

"Since the court has no intention of taking action against our Shu Palace, who do you think the court will take action against?"

King Chongyang blinked: "So, Uncle Gao is the scapegoat, and he has resisted all the charges in the case of selling illegal salt?"

"He is not a scapegoat, he is one of the masterminds himself."

The king of Shu sighed, "At the beginning I advised him to stop, but he didn't listen, thinking that the mountains in Sichuan were so high that the emperor was far away, and the imperial court couldn't find out where he came from. But now that disaster is imminent, we have to fly separately, and he died alone. If the imperial court and the crown prince can turn over this article, that would be a worthy death."

"father……"

King Chongyang couldn't bear it, "Is this too cruel?"

"Cruel, this is reality."

The King of Shu turned around and waved his hands, "Go to your Uncle Gao's house and ask him to come to see me at the palace."

"Yes."

……

Gao Zheng hurriedly went to the palace to have an audience, and after searching for a long time, he found the King of Shu at a dining table: "My lord, the third prince said you were looking for me?"

"Old Gao, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The King of Shu held a bowl of Chaoshou and placed it in front of Gao Zheng, "No hurry, let's eat first."

"I've been busy these two days, how can I take care of eating, my lord, please talk about things first."

"Not urgent."

"..."

Helpless, Gao Zheng had no choice but to eat first. After Wang stuffed two chaoshou in his stomach, he suddenly froze, staring straight at the chaoshou in the bowl.

Chaoshou, which is called Bianshi in some places, is basically dumplings.

"Get on the car dumpling and get off the car noodles", this sentence originated from an aristocrat named "White Crab" in the Yuan Dynasty. Although the word "dumpling" did not exist at that time, the specific meaning is similar.

Today, the King of Shu had to let him eat this bowl of chaoshou, which was a bit weird. Gao Zheng realized what the problem was in the middle of the meal.

He seems to be sent away.

Gao Zheng put down his chopsticks, and said in a deep voice, "Isn't the matter settled after all?"

The king of Shu shook his head: "This king has tried his best."

"Never mind."

Gao Zheng smiled wryly, "I should have expected such a day, but I didn't expect it to be so sudden."

The king of Shu said: "You have more or less borne some crimes for the palace of the king of Shu. You and I are in-laws. Before we leave, do you have anything to say? I will try my best to help you."

Gao Zheng clenched his palms tightly: "Will my son survive? He is a Yibin of the clan's mansion, a relative of the emperor, and he is a family member with your Zhu family."

In his hopeful eyes, the King of Shu shook his head.

"I can't save you. You are going to be accused of reselling private salt this time, and it is for the Yi tribe. Your son can't escape, even if he marries the eldest girl of my family. After all, the Yi tribe must be made public. If your son survives, then your death will be in vain."

The king of Shu changed the subject and said, "Your son's name must be on the list of the three Yi tribes in the imperial court, but if I come forward, I can save your nephew from the third brother's family, and it can be regarded as the continuation of your Gao family." Incense."

Gao Zheng lowered his head, speechless for a long time.

He picked up his chopsticks and devoured the rest of the soup in the bowl until there was not a drop of soup left.

After eating, go on the road with peace of mind.

Gao Zheng raised his head and said in relief, "My nephew, please take care of him."

"Ah."

As soon as the words fell, Jin Yiwei with knives came out from around the two of them.

"Prince Shu, I'm on order to do something, I'm sorry."

The King of Shu glanced at Gao Zheng, got up and left.

The hawks and dogs of Jin Yiwei surrounded Gao Zheng, he looked up at the sky, and closed his eyes after just one glance.

Knife up.

Knife falls.

Three feet of blood spattered.

……

Zhu Gaoxuan glanced at the cover of the dossier in his hand. It read "August 15th year of Yongle, King Gu's Case", which started from private salt, ended with King Gu, and ended with the death of Gao Zheng.

This case should actually be divided into two cases, the "King Gu Case" and the "Private Salt Case", but Zhu Gaoyi finally combined these two cases together.

King Gu's rebellion resulted in the killing of King Gu's family and the eradication of King Gu's henchmen, and finally ended with the death of Zhang Cheng. In this case, all the guilty people involved in the case died.

Compared with the King of Gu case, the private salt case is much more relaxed. A series of people involved in the case, such as embezzlement of private land, embezzlement of public taxes, and reselling of private salt, etc., were cleaned up. To serve as an example to others.

In these two cases, Zhu Gaoxuan's methods may have been bloody and despicable, but none of the people he killed was innocent.

It doesn't matter how the process is, what matters is the result.

He put the files on the shelf. In order to prevent insects from eating, the shelves in the secret room can only be made of wood and not bamboo. He glanced at it. There are hundreds of similar files on this shelf, from Hongwu Dynasty to Yongle Dynasty, the Jianwen Dynasty during the period can be ignored, all these files are not shown.

This secret room is built on Yuquan Mountain in Beijing. Only the emperor is qualified to step in. It hides too many secrets and darkness since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Lights are forbidden here. The outside world is completely cut off.

Two thousand top twelve elite guards patrolled the periphery day and night, killing anyone who approached it regardless of the reason.

Zhu Gaoxuan became Yongle Dynasty, the second person qualified to step into this secret room.

This also means that he will take over the sharp blade called power from the hands of the emperor.
