People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

These charred corpses gave off an unpleasant stench under Liu Ji's pull.

vomit!
The official who could hold back just now finally spit out.

These pampered scholars, even though they have experienced troubled times, have never really been close to a corpse.

Liu Ji's actions are really scary.

"This bastard, how can you do everything?"

Examining corpses should have been a professional job, but Lao Liu didn't make people feel messy when he did his work.

Liu Bowen found nothing on the first body. ,

This made some people present breathe a sigh of relief.

But he was not discouraged and continued to search.

For a while, everyone was silent, only watching him pick up the corpse.

Li Shanchang's anger was about to be unbearable, and when he got angry again, Liu Ji's hand stopped.

"Commander Mao, come over and have a look..."

Liu Ji waved to Mao Xiang, and Mao Xiang hurried over.

"Look here..., is it a knife wound?"

Mao Xiang identified it and said, "Yes..."

A simple word can stir up waves.

Li Shanchang staggered and almost fell, Hu Weiyong hurriedly supported him.

Mao Xiang's words completely alarmed the officials present.

Zhu Di was the most courageous, rushing up to take a look.

The people around stopped him:
"The fourth prince can't do it, it will scare you!"

"Go away, we will all go to the battlefield to defend our home and country in the future, will we be frightened by this corpse?"

He took the lead and rushed forward.

Just in time to see Mao Xiang and Liu Bowen clean up the burnt skin on the surface of the corpse, exposing the wound inside.

The wound looked like it was punctured by a sharp instrument.

vomit!
Little Zhu Di vomited!
Zhu Xi and Zhu Yan rushed over, saw Liu Ji and Mao Xiang pulling open the wound on the stomach of the corpse, and immediately vomited together with Zhu Di.

The expressions of the others are similar,
But the shock brought by this discovery is far more terrifying than a dead body.

The entire Meng family was wiped out, and they were still on the border near the capital.

This is definitely a big deal!
With a cold face, Mao Xiang said to the subordinates beside him:
"Go to Zuo Zuo, let me check all the corpses here!
Come, go to the yamen of Yingtian Zhifu, and control all the magistrate and the servants!
The same is true for the Jiangning County Government! "

"Yes, my lord!"

After discovering that these corpses were killed, Jin Yiwei naturally found a reason to intervene.

The officials present looked at each other in blank dismay, and everyone felt insecure.

The persecution of Zhang Yi on the battlefield was the result of the concerted action of the entire Yingtian officialdom.

They knew that Zhang Yi and Li Shi might have grievances, but in order to accomplish their goal, they let this happen.

But who would have thought that this case would involve a whole family of murders.

No, it's not that they didn't expect it, it's that they also chose to let it go.

Some censors from Yushitai also came with Li Shanchang.

They looked at their chief officer, Liu Bowen, standing in the pile of corpses covered in stench, utterly ashamed.

"Hahaha, I just said that the little Taoist leader can't be wrong. He said that corpses can't lie. There are dozens of people, and it's impossible for everyone to escape a fire..."

Zhu Xi witnessed the turnaround of the situation with his own eyes, and his childish nature couldn't help showing off this matter to Zhu Di and Zhu Yan.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

The others looked sideways when they heard the words, shocked.

It turned out that Zhu Xi suddenly came to trouble these corpses, and it was Zhang Yi who pointed them out.

How did he know he was locked in a cell?

For a while, the officials thought of the story of Zhang Yi and Yang Xian, and were terrified.

Fairy!

……

Jin Yiwei was very efficient, and soon someone was called.

As soon as they arrived, they immediately examined the body.

More and more suspicious things were discovered.

"My lord, this corpse also has a knife wound!"

"I also found something here!"

If one or two corpses may not be clear, but after more and more suspicious points are exposed, it will already be able to explain the problem.

Who did this?
Most of the people present have this question, you look at me, I look at you...

The murder of the entire Meng family has completely changed the nature of the case.

The Meng family is the plaintiff in Li's adultery case. What does it mean that they were silenced?
"Get out, Jin Yiwei wants to control this place!"

Mao Xiang held back his anger. His people were tortured in the cell for many days because they didn't want to be exposed.

Now they finally got a chance to be aboveboard.

"I suspect that the case of the Meng family suing the Li family is a frame-up. Now Jin Yiwei is taking over the case, collecting evidence, and waiting for His Royal Highness the crown prince!"

He was very rude, and walked up to Li Shanchang:
"Li Xiang, please go out..."

Li Shanchang's face was ugly, he actually wanted to leave a long time ago.

Mao Xiang didn't give him face, so he walked away with anger.

The other officials who followed also had complicated expressions...

Several censors took a deep look at Liu Ji, turned and left. ,

"The little real person is still smart!"

Zhu Di squeezed his little fist, excited.

Liu Ji, Mao Xiang has already washed his body, the old man smiled when he heard this:

"It's not that Zhang Yi is smart, it's because too many people want to pretend to be confused!"

As he spoke, he looked at those foremen, including the one belonging to Jiangning County, and his hands trembled.

When Mao Xiang saw his gaze, he had no good intentions!

As Liu Ji said, how could a foreman fail to see the abnormality when he discovered the case of extermination?

The people who were burned to death in the fire and those who had killed people in advance and then set fire to them,
Actually there is a big difference.

These authors are not so much that they cannot be seen through, it is better to say that with the efforts of many parties, the authors also chose to turn a blind eye!
"This is not a case, but a power struggle!

It is a tragedy of civil and military indulgence for personal grievances..."

Liu Ji Gujing Wubo's voice actually trembled a little.

……

"My lord, there are a total of 47 corpses, and a total of [-] corpses with injuries were found.

Others, due to the destruction of the body, cannot be judged!
Most of the wounds on these corpses were knife wounds, and a small part were caused by other weapons...

These weapons...seem to be...uncommon! "

Wu Zuo hesitated to speak, Mao Xiang raised his eyebrows:
"Don't give this commander this set, just say..."

"These weapons seem to be used by people in the army!"

Mao Xiang and Liu Bowen were instantly alert, and this matter became more and more complicated as it got involved.

"I'll go back, and I'll definitely report to the crown prince. Master Liu, please do what you want, I'm going..."

Mao Xiang took Wu Zuo's words and hurried to the palace to report.

When Liu Ji came out, the princes were going back to the palace.

"Mr. Liu, I have been punished for going back to the palace, please tell the real person for me that what we promised him has been done..."

"I hope that next time we go to Chaotian Palace, he can still tell us stories!"

Zhu Di also left a sentence, waving goodbye to Liu Bowen.

Liu Ji smiled. Although he also knew these princes, he discovered for the first time that the children of Old Zhu's family were actually quite cute.

"Your Majesty, the dragon gives birth to tiger cubs, the blessings of the world!"

Liu Ji returned to the Yamen of Yingtian Mansion again, and the awe-inspiring magistrate of Yingtian Mansion just now was already kneeling on the ground.

Jin Yiwei will firmly surround Yingtianfu Yamen.

When Yingtian Zhifu saw Liu Ji coming in, he quickly shouted:
"Lord Liu was wronged, Lord Liu was wronged, the lower official has nothing to do with the Meng family case..."

The arrogant arrogance just now has disappeared, replaced by endless fear.

Liu Ji glanced at him indifferently, such a person is only worthy of being used as a spear by others.

He walked into the cell and found that Lao Mo, Li Shi and Zhang Yi were all fine.

Jin Yiwei sent them a lot of good things.

Especially Lao Mo, the doctor arranged for him.

Seeing Liu Bowen, Zhang Yi laughed.

"You kid, you can!"

Liu Ji was in a good mood, and after helping each other this time, their awkward friendship before disappeared.

"You stay in the cell. Although the case has been broken through, some procedures are still needed to return your innocence!"

Zhang Yi nodded silently, and looked back at Mrs. Li.

He's not worried about himself, he's worried about Li Shi.

"I have visited the Meng family, and indeed heard something!

Many of those members of the Meng family uttered the truth after drinking, which was heard by the villagers!

Slandering Mrs. Li is just an excuse for them to get back 1000 taels of silver...

But they never thought that the 1000 taels of silver had also become their death talisman! "

Liu Bowen said with emotion,
"The wages of avarice is death!

Since you choose this path, you have to bear any consequences! "

Zhang Yi was rather calm.

Liu Ji took a deep look at him, no matter what, at least this kid can be regarded as a person of cultivation in terms of state of mind.

"According to your thinking last time, you should have been able to find a loophole, but unfortunately, the Meng family died, and this road was cut off!
The old man thought it was wrong, but the Meng family blamed me for not thinking too much!

If you hadn't reminded me, who would have thought that the Meng family would be wiped out! "

"Our Majesty is not a fuel-efficient lamp, they are probably afraid of getting involved..."

Liu Bowen told Zhang Yi the conclusion of Wu Zuo, and shook his head:

"The imperial court controls swords and soldiers, but the world has just been settled, and there are actually quite a few swords and soldiers flowing into the people!

It's hard to follow this line...

And even if it can be investigated, the person found may not be what His Majesty wants to see..."

"Li Shanchang!"

Liu Ji didn't say his name, but Zhang Yi did.

The person who can stir up such a big situation is guaranteed to be a member of the imperial court. He guessed to Li Shanchang, and he was probably right.

Hu Weiyong was crazier than Li Shanchang, but Hu Weiyong at this time did not have the power that he had later.

In addition to the current him, the weight in the emperor's heart is not enough.

Zhang Yi heard Liu Ji's hint.

Appropriate and reasonable.

Zhang Yi was depressed for a while, was he destined to clash with the prime minister?

Can this pull out a prime minister?
"Human life is as cheap as a dog, probably because Li Xiang thinks that poor people are just ants!"

The two chatted here and ended the topic on their own initiative.

Liu Ji walked out of the cell.

The Prefect of Yingtian is no longer here...

East Palace!

A group of people were already kneeling in the dark.

The magistrate of Jiangning, the magistrate of Yingtian...

There are also the owners of the county government and the government government.

Some of these people have never been in a palace in their entire lives, but there is no joy on their faces, only endless fear.

Jin Yiwei, who was wearing flying fish suits, stared at him.

These people seem to have seen each other's doom.

In addition to the group of people who knelt down, there were some people who were also called by Zhu Biao.

Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong...

All of you from the six ministers and Zhongshu province are here.

Of course, the few princes who were captured are also indispensable.

"His Royal Highness!"

Zhu Biao came out of the East Palace, and with the support of the eunuch, his face was a little pale.

When all the officials saw him, they knelt down one after another.

"His Royal Highness, you can leave this matter to us, why drag your sick body..."

Seeing Zhu Biao's appearance, Li Shanchang quickly showed concern.

Zhu Biao waved his hand and said:
"Mr. Li, these younger brothers of mine are all involved, and I have no choice but to come out...

I know that it is not easy for you to handle the affairs of the Tian family..."

Zhu Biao first looked at Zhu Xun and the others, Zhu Xun, Zhu Di, and Zhu Xun knelt down and lowered their heads.

He pointed at Zhu Xi, his face flushed with anger:
"You...fourth son, Father wants you to go outside the palace to learn the art of war with Uncle Chang, why?"

Seeing that he was called by Zhu Biao, Zhu Di whispered:

"It's the father who wants to fulfill my wish..."

"Then you sneak away like this, do you deserve the trust of your father? It's dangerous outside the palace. In case something happens to you, do you know how many people will be buried with you?
Also, princes are not allowed to interfere in state affairs, don't you know? "

Zhu Xi poked his neck and interjected:

"Brother, it's because the little real person was framed by treacherous ministers, and we stand up for our friends!

Brother, you don't know how bad those people are..."

Zhu Xing pointed to Yingtian Zhifu and others and said:

"They framed the little real person, and in order to frame others, they even killed people to silence them..."

Being accused by Zhu Xing, Yingtian government office and Jiangning county government office were all shocked.

They hastened to say:
"Your Highness, we were wronged. We definitely did not do the whole Meng family..."

"That is to say, you did the other things?"

Zhu Xi jumped up, pointed at the crowd and cursed.

Others secretly complained, this blame must not be carried on.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhu Biao was furious:

"That's enough, isn't it embarrassing enough?"

Zhu Xi immediately felt wronged. Although he was messing around, he felt that he had done nothing wrong.

It is obvious that Zhang Yi was framed, why can't they intervene.

"Come on, drag the three of them aside and call me!"

Zhu Biao pointed to the stools that had been lined up long ago, his face full of frost.

When the three of Zhu Di saw it, their faces turned pale, brother, this is a real fight!

"Thirty boards, if there is one less, I will ask you to settle accounts!"

"Brother, Thirty, are you going to kill us?"

Just as Zhu Yu yelled out, the guards came over and took him down.

He looked at Zhu Biao with a little disappointment, and was dragged behind Zhu Biao by the guards in a blink of an eye.

The first stick falls.

There was a loud bang, and San Xiao screamed.

Wait, it doesn't hurt...

Zhu Xun, Zhu Xun, and Zhu Di were taken aback for a moment.The three looked at each other, then suddenly raised their heads to look at Zhu Biao.

I saw that Zhu Biao was behind him, giving them a thumbs up.

"Big brother..."

Zhu Xi, Zhu Fang, and Zhu Di burst into tears and almost laughed out loud.

"If you don't continue, beat me to death!"

Zhu Biao shouted loudly, and the guard's stick continued to fall.

It still didn't hurt, but Zhu Xi shouted loudly with tears in his eyes:
"pain!"

Zhu Di and Zhu Yan seemed to have recollected it, and began to cry for their father and mother.

Zhu Biao turned his back to his younger brothers, his eyes flushed.

This silent tacit understanding made him seem to have returned to the days when Lao Zhu wanted to beat up his younger brothers, and he tried his best to maintain it.

He hadn't felt this brotherhood for a long time.

He suppressed the excitement and turned his gaze to the others.

Now is not the time to be sentimental, his performance has just begun.

Since these people regard him as an honest child, they might as well make good use of this identity. (end of this chapter)
