Zhu Houzhao, the lonely Ming Dynasty, angrily snatched Yan Shenggong at the beginning!

Chapter 19 Money can buy everything, but in the end it is no match for supreme power!
"Your Highness, I really..."

"Okay, you don't need to say anything!"

Seeing that the old man Xie Qian opened his mouth, he stopped talking, knowing that his hidden character had been exposed, and Zhu Houzhao stopped pretending.

With tears in his eyes and a snotty nose, Zhang Ze, who was crying heartbroken, wanted to explain, but Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand to stop him with a headache.

"Ha ha!"

Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth, and Xie Qian, who was beside him, couldn't help laughing.

This little guy couldn't hold back after all.

Zhu Houzhao gave Xie Qian a blank look, then turned to look at Qianhu who was the first to speak.

"You caught the man!"

Trembling with fright, Wu Xiong, who thought he had made a mistake in his bet, was instantly refreshed when he heard the gentle voice of His Highness the Crown Prince, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Yes, Zhang Ze..."

"Okay, no need to explain!"

Zhu Houzhao reached out and interrupted what Wu Xiong was about to say, and waved to the two boy scouts next to him.

"Following the above, provoking the country's military law, thirty rods!"

The two boy scouts responded and pressed him to the ground.

"Thousands..."

When Wu Xiong's soldiers saw that their heads were about to be hit with military sticks, they were so excited that they stepped forward.

"Go back!"

Wu Xiong, who was pushed to the ground, shouted angrily at his subordinates.

Then he turned his head and nodded to the two scouts, signaling them to start.

The boy scout soldiers were also unambiguous, and picked up two sticks with thick wrists, and swung them down vigorously.

The muffled sound of "bang bang" came to everyone's ears, and the people around looked at the blood oozing from Wu Xiong's back and buttocks, and felt chills in their hearts.

Of course, there are also happy ones.

This person is the commander Zhang Ze.

Seeing the leader of the twenty-five boys being beaten with military sticks, he felt relieved.

Sure enough, his performance was very useful, and His Royal Highness believed that he had been wronged.

"Anyone else?"

Zhu Houzhao didn't look at Wu Xiong, who was being battered, and looked at the other thousand households with a smile.

Zhu Houzhao thought he was kind and gentle, but in the eyes of several thousand households, it was like a devil's smile.

Glancing secretly at Wu Xiong, whose forehead was bulging due to the beating, the group of people faltered for a moment, bowed their heads and remained silent.

"Zhang Yu!"

A hoarse roar sounded amidst the sound of "bang bang bang". When everyone heard the sound and looked around, they saw Wu Xiong clenching his teeth and staring closely at his deputy Qianhu.

Seeing this scene, many people were yelling curses in their hearts, and at the same time they were extremely nervous.

This damn bastard, he was beaten by the army stick, and he was pulling others.

And Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting on the horse, looked at Xie Qian who was next to him.

Xie Qian nodded slightly to express his approval, and at the same time looked at Zhu Houzhao, the playfulness in his eyes became stronger.

Zhu Houzhao ignored the old man, and looked at the deputy Qianhu who Wu Xiong called.

Deputy Qianhu named Zhang Yu felt the gazes of everyone staring at him, and felt as if a huge rock was weighing on his heart, and he was almost out of breath.

He didn't dare to stand up, but seeing Mr. Qianhu, who was next to the military stick without saying a word, but staring at him, and kept gesturing for him to stand up quickly, the pressure in his heart increased a little.

He dared not stand up for fear of being punished by the court.

For the following offenses, this is a taboo in the army. The lightest ones will be beheaded, and beating with army sticks is just an appetizer.

If he didn't stand up, he felt sorry for Qianhu.

The other party has taken care of him like an older brother for so many years, and has never had the intention of harming him. There is definitely a meaning in it that ordinary people can't understand by letting him stand up.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, stepped forward and knelt on the ground and said loudly: "His Royal Highness, the last general also has a share!"

Looking at the Deputy Qianhu who stood up even though his body was trembling with fear, Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly.

"Same!"

Raising his hand and waving, two more boy scouts rushed up, pressed him to the ground and began to execute.

This deputy Qianhu named Zhang Yu didn't have the perseverance like Wu Xiong, he could hold back the first few blows, but then he screamed loudly.

The Thirty Military Sticks were beaten very quickly, and when the execution boy scouts reported that the execution was over, the two of them had no good place left on their backs.

It can be seen that the boy scouts who did it did not show mercy.

"What are you two doing?"

Zhu Houzhao, who had been helped down by Gao Feng, walked in front of the two lying on the ground.

"Back...back...Prince...His Royal Highness, Mo...Mo...General, An...An Dongwei...Commanding Division Zhongjun Qianhu! He...he is my deputy Qianhu."

Although it was painful to speak, Wu Xiong still gritted his teeth and got up, knelt on the ground and reported his identity.

There is no such thing as one, two, or three thousand households in the troops of the Daming Guards. Its organization is the same as that of the five armies of the imperial court, divided into front, back, left, and middle.

The middle is the first, the left is the second, the right is the third, the front is the fourth, and the back is the last.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and glanced appreciatively at Zhang Yu, who was already in a trance.

Slightly raised his head, looked at the other Qianhu who were still standing behind with their heads bowed, and asked Wu Xiong: "Is there anyone else with you?"

Hearing this, Wu Xiong glanced back, seeing the other thousands of households, he didn't dare to look at him at all, for fear of hurting them, he chuckled, turned his head and saluted Zhu Houzhao, "No...no, one...one Everything is planned by the two of us!"

Zhu Houzhao shook his head in disappointment, raised his hand and ordered to the commander of the Yanzhou Guard behind him: "Except for the officers of the thousand households where these two people belong, all other officers will be taken down!"

Qianhu, who lowered their heads and dared not look at Zhu Houzhao, suddenly raised their heads and opened their mouths wide in astonishment.

Wu Xiong, who was kneeling in front of Zhu Houzhao, grinned when he heard Zhu Houzhao's order, revealing his blood-stained teeth.

"As ordered!"

"Your Highness, I am wronged, I am wronged!"

Seeing the soldiers rushing over, several thousand households knelt on the ground and shouted for grievances.

The commander of Yanzhou noticed Zhu Houzhao's frown impatiently, he quickly clenched his fist and coughed a few times to remind his subordinates.

Several thousand households who personally arrested people, received instructions, swung their big mouths and slapped them down, and several thousand households who begged for mercy loudly passed out with blood dripping from the corners of their mouths.

After An Dongwei's thousands of households and various officers were captured, Zhu Hou took care of Zhang Ze and other leaders who were under guard by the soldiers, and said sternly:
"Where is Jinyiwei!"

Several Jinyiwei who rushed over after Xie Qian strode forward.

"I am humble!"

Zhu Houzhao raised his finger to Zhang Ze and the others, and ordered:
"The Commander of the Anton Guard, Zhang Ze, together with his fellow magistrates, ignored the laws of the court, sold private salt, colluded with Japanese pirates, sold weapons to the villains who attacked the saint's family, and attacked the prince of the country!"

"The rest of the petty crimes are too numerous to list, and you will quickly take him back to Jinyiwei Prison, torture and interrogate him, arrest his accomplices, punish him for being evil, and return the world to all people!"

"As ordered!"

Since entering the year of Hongzhi, the brocade guards, who hadn't captured high-ranking officials above the third rank for a long time, became excited in an instant, and their voices in response became a little louder.

"His Royal Highness, I am wronged, I am wronged! I did not collude with Japanese bandits, and I did not attack..."

Zhang Ze and the others wailed loudly, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Selling salt doesn't matter, they did it after all, and it's okay to admit it.

But colluding with Japanese pirates, helping the gangsters who attacked the saint's family, and intending to intercept and kill the current prince, these charges cannot be admitted.

As far as these three charges are concerned, any one of them can be used to allow his family to occupy 10 acres of land.

They wanted to beg for mercy and struggle, but after finally capturing the high official's Jin Yiwei, how could they give them a chance to speak.

I want to say that there will be plenty of time to talk in the future, but His Royal Highness is not in the mood to listen to them now.

So just as Zhang Ze and the others opened their mouths, a few guards in Jinyi rushed up, stabbing their mouths fiercely with the scabbards in their hands.

Looking at Zhang Ze and others who were being dragged away like dead fish, he looked around at the countless trembling guard soldiers who dared not make a sound.

The corners of Zhu Houzhao's mouth curled up slightly.

This is the taste of supreme power.

One thought and one word can determine the life and death of others, and tens of thousands of soldiers bow their heads and surrender with every move.

Zhu Houzhao liked a sentence very much in his previous life, and he has always regarded it as the truth in the world.

When money stands up to speak, all truth is silent, when power stands up to speak, money is worthless!
Looking back at Xie Qian who was smiling and looking at him, Zhu Houzhao didn't seem to be secretive at all.

Smiling, he pointed to Wu Xiong who was kneeling in front of him, whose body had begun to lose its strength and began to sway.

"Master Xie, this man is loyal and dedicated to the country. Although he made a small mistake, he has been punished."

"The court cannot bury such talents who are loyal to the country."

"Now that the position of Commander Antonwei is vacant, why not let him lead it temporarily, and wait for another day to observe and see him before he can enter the position. I will issue a formal document, okay?"

Wu Xiong, who was already dizzy, raised his head excitedly to look at Zhu Houzhao, and at the same time looked at Xie Qian nervously.

Looking at Zhu Houzhao, Xie Qian, who was wondering what to think, smiled and cupped his hands and replied: "Your Highness has discerning eyes, and promotes talents for the country. Is there any reason for me to refuse!"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Wu Xiong's excited body swayed.

He made the right bet this time, and won big.
