People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

It was not a short time for Lao Mo to follow Zhang Yi. After Deng Zhongxiu left, he spent more time in the Taoist temple than before.

He is a school inspector and the emperor's confidant.

I also watched a lot of the turbulent waves above the court, and Lao Mo who was fighting openly and secretly.

Hu Weiyong, I heard Mr. Gao said in private, is a man with a lot of means.

The prime minister is optional.

People like this are still played around by Zhang Yi.

This is of course due to Zhang Yi's status as a genius doctor, but such a scheming at such a young age is indeed eye-catching.

Zhang Yi stood up, took Mengyao's hand, and entered the medicine garden through the small door on the side of the Taoist temple.

Lao Mo followed silently.

There is another gate for entering and exiting the medicine garden, which was arranged by Zhang Yi when he first designed it.

The Taoist temple and the medicine garden are relatively independent existences, and there is no need to go through the same door to go in and out.

At this time, Hu Weiyong's shout came from outside the medicine garden wall:

"Old man, Hu Weiyong, the political counselor of Zhongshu Province, is asking to see you..."

Zhang Yi chuckled, Hu Weiyong is insidious enough, in front of him, he doesn't play the role of an official, but when it comes to Mrs. Li, he pretends to be?
After thinking about it, he also understood that since ancient times in China, the officials and the people are almost people from two worlds.

This is a deep-rooted concept of the ancients, and it is also Hu Weiyong's strategy.

He wanted to use his official status and the natural advantages of officials over the common people to make Mrs. Li submit.

To some extent, Hu Weiyong's approach cannot be said to be wrong, and it is even considered the most correct choice.

After all, under normal circumstances, if there was no Zhang Yi, Lao Meng would have been beaten to death, and at most he would have to pay dozens of taels of silver.

Meng Yao's mother and daughter, even if they were not insulted by Mr. Hu and Chang Mao, it is estimated that the Meng family would not let her go.

Beauty is indeed a curse when one is unable to protect oneself.

Zhang Yi shook his head, telling himself not to think wildly.

He had already seen Mrs. Li, standing at the door of the room in the yard, full of entanglements.

Mrs. Li is pregnant, although she can't tell it yet.

But the blow of her husband's death still greatly affected her health.

"Auntie..."

Zhang Yi handed over two bottles of allicin to Li Shi, and told him the current situation.

他 说:

"These two bottles of medicine can't save the person who bullied you, but they can make his life worse than death!
Auntie, just play a game, soothe your mind..."

What he wants to play with is the life of Young Master Hu.

Li's tears fell down, and Zhang Yi promised her to help Lao Meng vent his anger, but she never had hope in her heart.

too difficult.

Even if the little landlord seems to be omnipotent, facing the high officials of the court, what qualifications does he have to fight with others?
What's more, she is capable of fighting, so why help her?

To put it bluntly, they are just Zhang Yi's tenants and servants.

For the sake of their loved ones, ordinary people may not dare to offend high-ranking officials, let alone outsiders?

Li has experienced the turmoil at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and also witnessed the warmth and coldness of human relationships. Zhang Yi's actions made her heart that was already cold gradually warm up.

"You can make things difficult for him as much as you want, but you must promise to give him these two bottles of medicine...

If you want to bring Hu Zhongwen back from Lord Yan, dozens of bottles are not enough!
These things are not his life-saving medicine, but to make him suffer for a few more days before the gate of hell...

Auntie, you can..."

Zhang Yi stuffed the things into Li's hands, and brought Mengyao back to the Taoist temple through the small gate.

The stage prepared for her was just right to vent the resentment in Li Shi's heart.

Meng Yao is still a child, there is no need for her to witness the darkness.

Zhang Yi just let Lao Mo stay in the dark to ensure Li's safety, and brought Mengyao back to the Taoist temple from Xiaomen.

Zhang Yi didn't want to know what happened at the Taoist temple.

After Xiao Mengyao came back, she was obviously happier.

She made Zhang Yi a pot of tea, and Zhang Yi told her some jokes about her previous life.

The children forgot their sadness for a moment and giggled.

Someone knocked on the door of the Taoist temple again, and this time Zhang Yi went to open the door himself.

At this time, Hu Weiyong had a livid face and was holding two bottles of allicin in his hand.

500 taels of silver, two bottles.

Even the landlord’s family couldn’t stand such a torment. Zhang Yi seemed to be smiling, but he didn’t expose Hu Weiyong’s embarrassment, just pretending not to know:

"Master Hu, did you get the medicine?"

Hu Weiyong took a deep breath and nodded silently.

It took him a lot of effort to ask for these two bottles of medicine, but Hu Weiyong was not at ease, he asked Zhang Yi:

"Little real man, I would like to ask, can these two bottles of medicine save my son's life?"

Zhang Yi shook his head:
"You can extend your life, but you can't save it!
And I can tell Mr. Hu that the more you use antibiotics, the worse the effect will be. In fact, the best way is to use dozens of bottles in a row. Your son may still have a chance to snatch it back from Lord Hades.

Just these few bottles of medicine can only last a few days for him!

I've made it clear to you, if you continue to take medicine intermittently, then don't say that my medicine is not good..."

Hu Weiyong's face immediately turned pale, and at the same time, there was a surge of anger from his heart.

He gave up face, gave up money, and in the end he could only barely survive for the child?
Zhang Yi's words were like a bucket of cold water poured down, and all Hu Weiyong's compromises seemed to become a joke.

Heartbreak!

With all his strength, he resisted the urge to slap the little Taoist priest in front of him.

Whether it is him or the woman just now, Hu Weiyong deserves to die.

In the end, he still asked the little Taoist priest to open a furnace to make alchemy.

Hu Weiyong suppressed his killing intent and said politely:
"Then Hu will go back and think of a way."

"it is good!"

"Master, these people really deserve to die..."

When Zhang Yi closed the door of the Taoist temple, the people around him couldn't help cursing:
"It's just some sluts, but it makes you feel wronged everywhere, master, I think that little Taoist priest is clearly lying to you, or...

I found someone and robbed his Taoist temple. Anyway, he is outside the city, and there is no proof of his death? "

Hu Weiyong glared at the other party, and the servant shrank his neck instantly.

"If there is no medicine in his Taoist temple, why don't you go and bury my son?"

Hu Weiyong sighed:
"I still have to look for money. Didn't someone send a greeting card a while ago? If someone like this comes here in the future, tell me..."

The two chatted while walking, then got into the carriage and drove away.

After they left, the inspector, who was watching from a distance, came out and recorded everything silently.

……

Not long after, the memorials of Lao Mo and the school had appeared on the emperor's desk in the imperial study.

Two copies of the memorial were copied, one for Zhu Biao and one for the emperor.

"it is good……"

Zhu Biao read the two memorials together, and couldn't help but be overwhelmed.

Although Lao Meng and Zhu Biao are not familiar with each other, they have seen each other before and met each other.

He was beaten to death innocently, and Zhu Biao was quite resentful towards Mr. Hu.

It's just that under the circumstances at that time, Hu Weiyong had almost done his utmost to benevolent and righteous, and with Li Shanchang's face, the emperor had no choice but to put Hu Zhongwen back.

Just emotionally, Zhu Biao still hopes that Mr. Hu will die.

Zhang Yi's method of killing people with a slow knife makes people look very relieved.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head. Although Zhu Biao has improved a lot these days, he is still a bit childish at critical moments and cannot entrust state affairs.

"Besides looking at it refreshingly, can you see other things?

Your little brother from the Zhang family is going crazy, and I feel horrified when I see it. If this kid offends him in the future, kill him immediately.

Otherwise, with the eyes of this little guy, it's not ordinary to play with people! "

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the memorial in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

Zhang Yi's extremely extreme way of dealing with things is inexplicably similar to him.

He finally understood why he liked this kid. He said he was paranoid, but in fact he was not much better?

However, Lao Zhu was also a little unhappy. After all, Hu Weiyong was more or less the order of the imperial court, and the well-hidden trace of unruliness in Zhang Yi's heart still made Lao Zhu a little worried.

Seeing that Zhu Biao still didn't understand, Lao Zhu reminded:
"Do you think Zhang Yi's revenge on Hu Weiyong is over?"

Zhu Biao was at a loss, cheated Hu Weiyong of a large sum of money, and finally let Mr. Hu die, isn't it all Zhang Yi's revenge.

"Hey, if that kid is my son, he must be more suitable than you to be an emperor!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Biao, but Zhu Biao was not angry.

Anyway, Zhang Yi couldn't possibly be Lao Zhu's son, so why should he be angry?
"Father, please clarify!"

"Zhang Yi's most ruthless revenge has just begun!
Let me ask you, could those two bottles of allicin save Hu Zhongwen? "

Zhu Biao shook his head.

"So Hu Weiyong must go find Yinzi to save his son!

But his family fortune has already been emptied by that cunning boy...

Where can he find money? "

"Borrow, no..."

A thunder flashed in Zhu Biao's mind, and he seemed to have understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.

Hu Weiyong would never be able to take out thousands of taels of silver.

But if he wants a few thousand taels of silver, it's not difficult.

During these days in the market, Zhu Biao understood the mentality of those businessmen best.

They don't lack money, but they lack security.

Whether it's for profit or for the sake of their lives, businessmen all want to cling to the powerful in exchange for benefits.

As long as he thinks about Hu Weiyong, his family is full of people, and the businessmen who come and go can easily scrape together thousands of taels of silver for him.

In the past, he was a person with political ambitions, so naturally he would not talk to these people.

What's more, Ying Tianfu has an open secret, that is, the emperor's inspector is monitoring the officials in the court.

Is the merchant's money so easy to get?

If you take the money, you will make mistakes. Whether you have a future or not, your wealth and life may be at stake.

So Zhang Yi's trick for Hu Weiyong was not just as simple as making Hu Weiyong uncomfortable.

He wanted Hu Weiyong to die.

I don't know how many people are staring at Hu Weiyong. If Hu Weiyong makes money for his son, the Yushi of the Eastern Zhejiang School will wait for him eagerly.

But if Hu Weiyong did nothing, he would have to watch his son die.

If Hu Zhongwen had no hope from the beginning, Hu Weiyong would probably not feel so uncomfortable.

But because of one's own "choice", the life and death of one's own child is determined. No matter who faces such a situation, there will be inner demons.

"It's a question of money or life. I just don't know how our Master Hu will choose?"

There was a smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, he didn't dislike Zhang Yi pushing Hu Weiyong to the edge of torturing humanity.

Hu Weiyong is one of his courtiers. His biggest problem is that he spoils his son too much.

Now his son is doomed to die, which is a plus in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

Zhang Yi pushed Hu Weiyong to a desperate situation, but Lao Zhu wanted to see if Hu Weiyong could be trusted at the critical moment?

If it is reliable, I don't mind mentioning him often.

If it is unreliable, then help that kid and send their family on the road.

Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight by themselves, there is no loss left or right.

"What are you thinking?"

Zhu Biao bowed his head in thought and did not answer the emperor's words.

Old Zhu couldn't help asking him aloud, Zhu Biao came back to his senses, bowed and said:
"Actually, Erchen is thinking about another question, which is the question about officials' salaries brought up by the younger brother of the Zhang family last time!"

Zhu Biao actually thought of going there, and Lao Zhu was also interested. He leaned forward to show that he was listening.

"The younger brother of the Zhang family said that no matter how much the court gives, it will not be able to eradicate corrupt officials, but giving people a decent life can keep many people who shouldn't be corrupt and keep their hearts.

Erchen didn't understand this kind of reasoning at first, but now I see Zhang's younger brother setting up Hu Weiyong.

Isn't this a torture of people's hearts?
If Mr. Hu's 800 taels of silver can save Young Master Hu, he won't have to face this kind of test.

My son thinks of other officials, they may not have to face Mr. Hu's life-and-death choice, but their test is much cheaper..."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, Zhu Biao still meant that he was too picky.

Although the matter of raising salaries for officials has passed, he is somewhat unbalanced.

But he accepted Zhu Biao's words, they are all mortals, and whoever endures the test of human nature every day is not sure whether he can bear it.

The lower officials are less tested, the proportion of honest officials will be more...

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao, he was in a good mood, and was made a little uncomfortable by this son.

he suffers,
Hu Weiyong was more uncomfortable than him.

After taking allicin home and giving it to Mr. Hu, Mr. Hu's condition was suppressed, but he also understood that two bottles of allicin were not enough for a day.

For a few days at most, what should his son do or what?
"I have to, I have to find some money..."

Hu Weiyong has been arranged by someone to contact those businessmen.

But he was still a little hesitant, did he want to accept their benefits?
If he had a choice, he would definitely not do it. After all, he would lose his reputation when dealing with these people.

Just when he was hesitating, the servant at the door came to report.

"Li Xiang?"

Hu Weiyong didn't expect Li Shanchang to come to him, so he hurried out to greet him.

Li Shanchang did not get out of the car, but asked Hu Weiyong to come up.

After Hu Weiyong got into the car, he asked the driver to drive,

Li Shanchang didn't speak the whole time, and Hu Weiyong didn't dare to.

The carriage was walking in the city, passing through the streets and alleys, and after a while, Hu Weiyong heard crying and shouting endlessly.

He was puzzled, and was about to lift the curtain to see, but Li Shanchang stopped him with his eyes.

The carriage moved slowly, but enough for him to hear the movement outside.

ransacked home...

Which court official was ransacked by the emperor because of corruption?

Hu Weiyong was wondering when Li Shanchang said suddenly:

"An accident is about to happen to Yang Xian..." (end of this chapter)
