Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 49 Hu Xiang's Sao Operation
The golden book iron certificate is a privilege certificate issued by Zhu Yuanzhang to the heroes after imitating the Tang system.

On it are engraved with gold letters his merits, titles, treatment, and the number of times he was saved from death.

Naturally, ordinary people would never see this thing, but for these honored guards, it has no deterrent effect at all.

"Put it away, Brother Liao, it seems like someone doesn't have this iron plate." Mei Yi persuaded, "The Shangyu said very clearly, it just asked us to search for evidence, and didn't ask us to arrest people, let alone kill people. , I don’t need your death-prevention card.”

Zhu Xian also went to Liao Quan's side, and persuaded in a low voice: "We are here to search now, to protect your family from being disturbed, and if there is any valuable thing in the house, I will count it as mine. Is this done?"

"This..." Liao Quan didn't expect the other party to be so loyal.

"If it's someone else, it's hard to say." He sighed again: "We are all a family of meritorious officials, no matter what is found out, the emperor will finally punish him lightly."

"Yes, Guankou can no longer confront the emperor." Mei Yi also nodded and said: "Otherwise there will be too many regrets."

"Alas..." Under the persuasion of the two of them, Liao Quan could only lower his head dejectedly, and waved his servant to get out of the way.

"Let's start." Mei Yi then ordered the guards to join the army: "Remember what we said, keep your hands and feet clean!"

"Yes!" The officers and soldiers responded, and under the leadership of their own small flags, they ran towards each courtyard separately.

They said they were not harassing, but the screams of the female relatives, the angry curses of the men, and the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong were still unavoidable to be heard from all over the Hou Mansion...

"These bastards!" Zhu Xian, who was having tea with Liao Quan in the front hall, cursed, got up and said, "I'll take a look behind and tell them to be careful!"

"Well, let's go." Mei Yi nodded, took a sip of tea, and sat still like a mountain.

~~
Zhu Xian came to the back house and went straight to Liao Yongzhong's study.

The left guard soldiers under him had already guarded the door, and when they saw the commander coming, they hurriedly opened the thick curtain.

Zhu Xian approached the luxuriously decorated study room, and suddenly a wave of heat hit his face.

Liao Yongzhong's mansion was really extravagant. All the rooms, whether occupied or not, were lit with charcoal basins throughout the day, so that he and his family could go to any room at any time without getting cold.

The study room was already in a mess, and several of his trusted soldiers were taking all the books, letters, calligraphy and paintings off the bookshelves, on the table, and on the Arhat's bed, and packing them into boxes.

"How's the harvest?" Zhu Xian asked.

"The most valuable thing is these letters." His younger brother Zhu Yu brought a wooden box to him.

"Well, let me take a look." Zhu Xian flipped through the box quickly, and found two letters, both of which were written by Liu Ji.

Zhu Xian took out a letter and saw that Liu Ji thanked Liao Yongzhong for sending gifts many times, and said that he lived a simple life and didn't need those valuables, so he sent it back with the letter and asked him not to send any more.

He took out another letter, which was similar, it was all about the goddess's rejection of the dog licking, and she didn't waste a word.

'I didn't expect the arrogant Marquis Deqing to be so humble in front of Old Man Liu. Zhu Xian was secretly happy, and then remembered Hu Xiang's instructions, and he couldn't be happy anymore.

Hu Weiyong asked him to see if he could find the letters between Liao Yongzhong and Liu Bowen.

If so, check to see if there are any rumors of the two hooking up.

Obviously, these two letters are at most Deqing Hou's unrequited love, not hooking up...

Fortunately, Hu Xiang also expected it, and told him that there is no need to panic in this situation, we have operations.

When his subordinates carried the box out, only his two brothers were left in the study.

"Has no one read these two letters?" Zhu Xian asked in a low voice.

"No, I received the letter with my own hands, and they haven't even read it." Zhu Yu laughed softly: "A group of people are blind, but actually reading it is useless."

Zhu Xian gave him a wink, and Zhu Yu guarded the door, watching the movement outside.

Then Zhu Xian threw the two letters written by Liu Ji into the charcoal basin.

The blue flame immediately turned orange, and the envelope and letter paper quickly turned to ashes and curled up...

But Zhu Xian hurriedly used the tongs to take out the two half-burned letters, shook them vigorously, and put out the fire.

~~
At dusk, sunset Zijin Mountain.

The hall of martial arts has not yet lit the lights, so it looks a little dark.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang was here all afternoon, discussing something with Hu Weiyong, no one was allowed to come in.

When Cao Xiu came back with several large boxes to return to his command, Eunuch Wu hurriedly led the little firemen in to light the lamps.

The palace lanterns were lit one after another, making the emperor's face dim and cloudy.

"Boss, it's all here." Cao Xiu clasped his fists and bowed.

"Then, I will leave first." Hu Weiyong took the opportunity to leave.

"Stay here, let's read together." Zhu Yuanzhang refused to let him go, and then said to Cao Xiu, "Read the letter first."

Cao Xiu hurriedly presented the wooden box.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and Eunuch Wu hurriedly retreated with the little fire fighters.

The emperor just opened the box, but was taken aback for a moment. "How is this going?"

Hu Weiyong took a closer look, and saw some burnt black and yellow pieces of paper on the thick stack of letters.

"Oh, Zhu Xian found this from the charcoal basin in Deqinghou's study. Seeing that there were words on it, he put it in together." Cao Xiu reported.

"Are you there?" Zhu Yuanzhang put on his presbyopic glasses, carefully picked up a fragment, and looked at it carefully.

"Back to the emperor, the humble minister is not here." Cao Xiu said with a little sweat on his forehead: "The iron law set by the emperor, no matter when, the left and right captains must have one person on duty to guard the palace, and those who violate it will be severely punished. Therefore, the humble minister must stay behind In the palace."

"Isn't Liu Ying also in the Yamen of the Captain's Mansion?" Zhu Yuanzhang pulled down his glasses and looked at Cao Xiu with gloomy eyes.

"Lieutenant Liu is in the dungeon of the Inner Prison, and he can't leave even a single step. I think he can't fulfill his duty of guarding the palace." Cao Xiu lowered her head even lower.

"Stupid." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head speechlessly, and didn't delve into it further.

Cao Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He is the son of Zhu Yuanzhang's godmother, Aunt Wang. Back then, Aunt Wang and Liu Jizu helped Zhu Chongba through the most difficult time, so Boss Zhu was not generally tolerant of Liu Ying and him.

It's just that sometimes, being too tolerant is not a good thing.

Zhu Yuanzhang exhaled foul breath, and began to piece together the fragments, and asked Hu Weiyong to help.

With a cup of tea, all the parts that can be spelled have been spelled out.

"This is a letter from Uncle Chengyi." Zhu Yuanzhang took off his glasses.

"I think so too." Hu Weiyong said hastily: "And judging from the inscription, there are at least two letters."

"What about the content?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"There are too many things missing. Even after reading and guessing, it is probably that Uncle Chengyi received the gift from him and wrote a letter to express his gratitude, but I can't guess the rest."

"Well, almost." Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his frowning brows and said, "The burnt part is the key point."

"Let's read other letters first." Hu Weiyong looked indifferent.

"Alright." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and the monarch and his ministers poured the letters in the box onto the imperial case, looking at each letter.

These letters are roughly divided into three types, one is with Xungui, the other is written to him by the Chaohu brothers, and the third is family letters.

These people also have one thing in common, that is, they are all vulgar and fearless.

In the letter, there was a lot of information, and there were a lot of insults to Boss Zhu, and Boss Zhu was so angry that he scolded his mother so many times!
