People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 299 I Subdued My Demons, What Has It To Do With You

Lao Zhang used to hate himself very much. It may not be appropriate to say that he hates himself, but he is very vigilant against himself.

On the day I was born, there were dark clouds and hundreds of miles.

He made a hexagram, fierce!
So he kept saying that Zhang Yi had a demonic nature and was a lawless person.

Although Zhang Yi scoffed at Lao Zhang's methods, he admitted his point of view in his heart, but in his heart, he was hiding a lot of unwillingness.

These reluctances may come from the time travel itself, or from too many difficulties in previous lives.

Zhang Yi's temper is extreme, but he hides it very well, so he can't easily find out.

This is the [demon] in his heart. The warmth of his mother and brothers kept him from ignoring the world too much. After he came to the capital, many people appeared, which made him think what he could do?
He doesn't expect to change the world, but he once felt that he could change the people around him.

However, the world will always tell him with various accidents that he can't change anything.

"call……"

Zhang Yi took a long breath, and the depression in his heart seemed to dissipate in the night sky.

The girl from the Xu family just stayed by his side silently. As a seven-year-old child, although she matured precociously, she was not good enough to understand an adult.

Zhang Yi also ignored her, just looked at the darkness, the light in his eyes was uncertain.

Third watch...

The sound of beeping outside came, and Zhang Yi seemed to have made some kind of decision.

He turned around, only to find that the fake girl had fallen asleep leaning against him.

He smiled, showing kindness to this girl for the first time.

Zhang Yi really wanted to hug her princess, but after realizing that he was too weak, he carried her on his back and went to his room.

In the small Taoist temple, few people spend the night here, and another person, Xu Yungong, has already fallen asleep in his room.

The future little prince was snoring slightly at this time, obviously he was also very tired from what happened last night.

Putting the siblings on the bed where he usually sleeps, Zhang Yi turned and went out the door.

However, as soon as he left, the girl from the Xu family woke up with a blushing face.

At this time, on the other side, Li Shi also woke up.

There was no light in her eyes.

This is Zhang Yi's first feeling after seeing Li Shi again.

"Auntie!"

"master!"

Although Zhang Yi is young, when he is around, Li always has the illusion that she is an adult.

"I have sent people to your house to decorate, and I will bring the coffin back tomorrow...

You also mourn about the old Uncle Meng, don't hurt the child in your stomach because of hurting. "

After he finished speaking, Li began to sob.

"I know that you will definitely blame yourself, and others will also blame you for your incompetence. The future will be very difficult...but Pindao can protect you mother and daughter from the wind and rain.

The door to the concept of pure heart will always be open for you!

As for the death of old Uncle Meng..."

Zhang Yi said calmly:

"I have concerns in my heart, but if you believe in me, just live and watch. One day, those two people will use their lives to pay homage to old Uncle Meng's injustice today."

Li Shi was shocked, even though she felt wronged, she knew that this matter was no small matter.

She is not a person like Lao Meng who doesn't read. She also knows a little about the identities of the two people who committed the crime yesterday.

The son of a general, the empress of a high official.

Even if Zhang Yi has the background of Longhushan, how can he provoke such a person?
"Master Little Landlord... I am satisfied if you have this heart. Don't miss your own future because of our affairs. And... Behind you is Longhu Mountain..."

Zhang Yi smiled, but did not answer. Instead, he walked to the other side of the coffin and looked at Mengyao who was tired from crying.

He turned around and walked out, only to find that the Xu family girl was sneaky and wanted to leave.

After being discovered, Xu Miaoyun simply turned her head and looked at Zhang Yi.

"Don't be impulsive!"

"Pindao will not be impulsive. Although he sympathizes with Uncle Meng, he will not trap himself and Longhushan in it."

"But, no matter when, it's too dangerous..."

"What do little brats know?"

Zhang Yi glared at Xu's girl:
"I have surrendered myself, so what do I have to do with others?

Pindao advises you not to meddle in your own business. "

"you……"

The girl from the Xu family was half-dead from anger. If he wasn't the only one in this world who could understand what she was thinking, why should I care about him?
"Thanks, though!"

Zhang Yi turned to him again and bowed solemnly.

"You killed someone last night, you'd better keep yourself safe, I'll let someone take my brother away, I'll stay and wait for my mother to reply...

This matter is troublesome, you shouldn't have killed people last night..."

If he didn't kill anyone, he would be the sufferer, and he would probably be able to occupy a favorable position in the lawsuit.

But if you kill someone, you will give the other party a chance to fight back.

Zhang Yi also understood this truth in his heart, but people are not grass, who can always be rational?

He nodded, already thinking about how to get out.

"When necessary, maybe I can meet the one in the palace..."

Zhang Yi talked to himself, remembering the promise he made to his father in prison, he seemed to calm down.

He was calm, but the storm caused by this incident was far more serious than he had imagined.

Palace.

Li Qingmo knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and his son, talking little by little about what happened last night.

Old Zhu's face was covered with dark clouds.

He thought about Lao Meng, that simple and honest man who always had a kind smile. He actually had the impression that he was like his parents in the land of China, the appearance of the people who were close to him.

"I still remember that a while ago I persuaded him to get a certificate and just become a Taoist priest. If he agreed, even if Zhang Yi couldn't get it, I would give him one!
If he had become a Taoist priest, he probably wouldn't have what happened today! "

For Lao Meng's death, Lao Zhu couldn't say how sad he was, but he was also emotional.

However, an emotion called anger has gradually permeated my heart.

He may not sympathize with Lao Meng, but he can sympathize with another thing. His parents are also victims of this kind of power...

"Snatching civilian women and beating other people's husbands to death?

I have also seen your investigation about Mrs. Li's past. He is a miserable person, but he is also the source of disaster.

Come on, go to the Chang Mansion and the Hu Mansion, and get someone for me! "

When Zhu Yuanzhang gave an order, Gao Jianxian outside turned around and left.

The reform of the inspection school did not officially start, but the emperor gradually gave them a lot of power.

After Zhu Yuanzhang and others left, they asked Lao Mo:

"That kid killed someone yesterday?"

Lao Mo nodded, he is not very good at words, he just told what happened yesterday.

"It's not difficult to kill people, but it's difficult to kill them with one blow, so that people don't even have to resist.

This kid has potential. If he had been thrown in the army more than ten years ago, he would have been able to come out ahead!
Humph, what else can this kid not do?
Make trouble for me! "

Although Zhu Yuanzhang scolded Zhang Yi, everyone could see his love.

"You have to kill some people to vent your anger on that kid!

If he really goes crazy, I won't be able to tell him the truth..."

When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this inexplicable incident, he was upset and asked Li Qingmo to go out.

Zhu Biao also had anger on his face, but apart from anger, he was also a little embarrassed.

Chang Mao is his brother-in-law...

Everyone has a position. If Chang Mao changed his identity, Zhu Biao would support killing him.

But, right now...

"This matter cannot be judged by the third division. It is a matter of nonsense."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked out of the palace, his eyes flickering.

In Yingtian Mansion, the death of a small commoner caused a huge storm.

Gao Jianxian, Ling said, it was the first time that the two of them brought the procurator to appear in front of everyone, and they went to the high official's mansion to arrest them.

Hu Mansion, Chang Mansion.

Hu Weiyong looked at his son who was kneeling on the ground with an indifferent face, and was so angry that he clutched his heart.

He pointed at the son in front of him, his hands trembling.

"You rebellious son, how did I warn you last time?"

Hu Zhongwen was full of indifference:

"Father, he's just a commoner. You need it. What's more, this time he's still with the people in the Changfu, and he's the one who takes care of things first..."

Hu Weiyong almost rolled his eyes in anger:

"What is your identity, what is Chang Mao's identity?
If His Majesty cares about this matter, Chang Mao can survive, but you belong to the one who was sacrificed, do you understand?
Who is Chang Yuchun? He is His Majesty's confidant and the pillar of the empire. Your father and I are just a small minister of the Zhongshu Province. Are you worthy of being compared with others? "

When Hu Zhongwen heard the words, he became panicked.

His lawlessness all comes from Lao Tzu who is an official.

"My lord, it's not a serious matter. Let's go to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment for a walk, probably..."

"What do you women know, Yushitai, Dali Temple and the Ministry of punishment, which one is in our hands?
Yang Xian and Li are at odds with each other, if they fall into Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, there is still a way for them to survive.

It's okay to die a commoner, but do you know that the Xu family is also involved in this matter?
He is not someone with no background, if this matter is not handled properly, the old man will lose his official position..."

Before he finished speaking, the noise outside broke the calm.

A group of people dressed as palace guards walked in from the outside.

It is not Dali Temple, nor the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but the palace.

Seeing this scene, Hu Weiyong felt weak in his legs and feet.

"Your Majesty asked me to wait to get someone..."

Gao Jianxian threw a word to Hu Weiyong, put the shackles on Hu Zhongwen and left.

None of the servants involved in the case yesterday was spared.

Hu Weiyong's face lost all color in an instant, and the palace came to pick him up in person?
Thinking of the ruthlessness of that majesty, he turned pale for an instant.

"Master, this is our only seedling..."

Mrs. Hu's crying woke him up, he gritted his teeth and went to find Li Shanchang.

the other side.

Changfu.

Ling said that he rushed in with the inspector.

"Be polite, this is Changfu..."

"According to the emperor's order, the people in the Changfu are the ones to be taken..."

The school inspector did not distinguish between black and white, took Chang Mao and the servant who committed the crime and left.

Lan, a girl from the Chang family, only now did she realize that Chang Mao had caused such a big trouble?

"Go to the palace, go to the palace to intercede..."

On the fourth and fifth watch, the people have already started their day's work, and the officials are also preparing to go to court.

But they unexpectedly discovered that Yingtian Mansion seems to be extremely lively today.

The news of the inspector going to the Chang Mansion, and the news that the Hu Mansion took the man spread like wildfire.

Two dandies from the Chang family and the Hu family beat people to death and robbed women...

But the emperor himself took him.

Both the officials and the common people were shocked by the news.

Those officials who went to the court couldn't help but let the servants speed up and go to the palace.

This is destined to be an extraordinary morning.

Li Shanchang also thinks so.

Hu Weiyong was very timely and stopped his sedan chair going to the palace, and the two simply found a carriage to ride together.

"The old man said that His Majesty is different from other emperors...your son will cause trouble for you!"

Li Shanchang listened to Hu Weiyong's intercession, with an expression of hating iron but not steel:
"You have a great talent, and you are a candidate for the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, but if you spoil your children too much, you may suffer great disaster!"

"I beg Mr. Li to show me the way!"

Hu Weiyong hurriedly begged Li Shanchang for protection, Li Shanchang pondered and said:
"Your Majesty is different from others. Don't beg for your son's mercy. If you beg for mercy, he will die. If you come up and deal with him first, you may still have a chance..."

Hu Weiyong heard the words, there was no trace of blood on his face,
He couldn't help but say:
"It's just a lowly common people!"

Li Shanchang looked at it coldly and said:

"Don't forget, your Majesty was just a lowly commoner more than ten years ago...

Don't talk about the hypocritical rhetoric of loving the people like a son, just talk about His Majesty's temperament. What he fears the most is that his courtiers use power for personal gain, and he also fears that his family members will use their power to bully others.

This is not because he loves the people, but also because he is afraid of his officials abusing their power.

The power of a subject comes from the monarch. Your majesty is afraid of your subjects taking power. You haven't seen the case of monks and Taoists paying taxes a while ago? "

When Hu Weiyong heard this, he was thoughtful, and he was also a ruthless person, so he immediately nodded in agreement with Li Shanchang's approach.

The imperial palace, Fengtian Temple.

Today's morning atmosphere is a bit weird.

The reason for this was simply because a child of a certain dignitary in Beijing killed a commoner.

No matter how you look at this matter, it should not rise to the level of being resolved by the emperor.

Although it is against the law to bully men and women and kill people, it is not serious in these people's minds.

If there is any difference, it is that there are a lot of people involved in this matter.

Xinguo Mansion, Chang Mansion, and Hu Mansion.

None of these forces are easy to deal with.

All the officials vaguely saw that the Empress Empress, who hadn't shown her face for a long time, went to the side hall of Fengtian Hall to wait before the opening of the dynasty.

Some people are gloating about this coming storm, while others are frowning.

They are all waiting for it to come.

Zhu Yuanzhang went to court, but did not deal with the matter directly, but continued to wait for the officials to play as if it had never happened.

The big guy resisted the urge to eat melons and began to deal with state affairs.

When the matter was almost dealt with, Lao Zhu's rhythm also slowed down.

Storm is coming.

Everyone is nervously waiting for the opening of the plot.

At this time, the eunuch reported:

"The head of the school, Gao Jianxian, asked to see the emperor..."

The school inspection is an obscure part. Although all officials know of their existence, few people deal with these people.

The emperor seems to have used more and more inspections recently.

This is not good news.

Li Shanchang, the head of the hundred officials, showed a worried expression.

"Your Majesty, I have found out that it was Chang Mao, the son of General Chang, and Hu Zhongwen, the son of Hu Weiyong, who saw the beauty of the common people's wives, robbed the common people's women and beat their husbands to death.

The sufferer who was beaten to death was the tenant of Longhushan Qingxinguan Zhangyi..."

The case was not difficult to investigate, and Gao Jianxian explained it clearly in a few words.

"Everyone is recruited?"

"Recruited!"

Gao Jianxian answered the emperor's question, whether it was Hu Zhongwen or Chang Mao, they were not tough, and they confessed with a little punishment.

Zhu Yuanzhang got the answer he wanted, and said lightly:
"Drag them all out, stick to death!"

"emperor……"

When the officials heard the words, their faces changed drastically.
