People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 510: He was obviously trying to save people, but he became a big devil

Hu Weiyong's eyes darkened, as if the stars in the sky were shining before his eyes.

He took a deep breath and looked solemn:
"What do you mean by speaking properly to me?"

"Today, my father-in-law heard from his colleagues that when Master Zhang came into the palace that day, he and His Majesty were alone in the imperial study room chatting!

Later, they heard the sound of His Majesty throwing things from a distance, and soon, Master Zhang came out of the palace!

His Majesty summoned the royal guards, and then there was the empty seal case!

So what the father-in-law meant is that the empty seal case was probably instigated by the young master from Longhu Mountain..."

Hu Weiyong's face turned pale, Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi again?
His teeth were about to shatter.

Why does this little Taoist priest have a sense of his presence everywhere?
And how many officials can be killed by just one word?
Hu Weiyong took a breath.

"Zhang Yi...if it's really you, I will find something for you to do sooner or later..."

"Sir, is it because we asked the Ministry of Accounts to deduct his money, so he..."

When the servant reminded him, Hu Weiyong's intestines turned green with regret.

Why did he provoke that evil star?
He really wanted Zhang Yi to die, but he also knew that he couldn't kill Zhang Yi for the time being.

I originally wanted to use the power in my hand to make Zhang Yi feel disgusted, but who knew this little guy was so cruel.

"I asked you to investigate Chang Mao's affairs. What did you find?"

Hu Weiyong asked.

"We did find out something. We asked the people in Fujian about the ship that Zhang Yi boarded, and it turned out that the ship was from Fujian!
According to reports from local gentry, the boss of the ship was responsible for the smuggling.

And he was once captured by the Xuanwu Army!

That person is Lord Chang Maochang..."

Hu Weiyong was refreshed. He didn't expect that he would be able to find out something.

"go on!"

"The ship sank after the Zhang family's young master got off the ship...

Although it is not unheard of for grain ships to sink, there was really no storm during that time!
The slave asked people to check the ports in various places. According to reason...

When grain ships go south, in order to relieve the pressure, they usually transport some goods back to the port, but they don't do anything at all..."

Putting this information together, Hu Weiyong seemed to feel that he had grasped the truth of some things.

"Lanyu got into a fight with Zhang Yi in the north because of the Mongolian princess. Chang Mao had an old grudge with Zhang Yi, plus what happened with his uncle!

He wanted to kill Zhang Yi at sea!
So Zhang Yi was arranged to get on the ship boss’s ship!

And he himself actually got on the boat..."

Hu Weiyong paced back and forth, trying to figure out the whole story.

When he thought about this, he felt that the truth had gradually been revealed.

But he shook his head again:

"No, if Chang Mao and the ship boss are really on the ship and want to harm Zhang Yi, there is no way Zhang Yi can get off the ship!
The Xuanwu Army returned at that time, and Chang Mao was in charge of dispatching it again!
so……"

Hu Weiyong's reasoning got stuck here.

No matter how rich his imagination was, he would never have imagined that Zhang Yi would escape to the shore and then return to the sea under Lao Zhu's arrangement.

Then we returned to Zhejiang smoothly.

Without Zhu Yuanzhang as a key link, no matter how he guessed, he would not be able to think of the emperor.

"There is a high probability that Chang Mao will kill Zhang Yi!
But how Zhang Yi escaped, this matter is too strange..."

"Sir, could it be that little real person from the Zhang family used magic to subjugate everyone, and then forced the ship boss and the others..."

"Only you will think!"

Hu Weiyong glared at the other person and let out a sigh of relief.

"But these are enough. The truth is not important. What is important is that Chang Yuchun and Lan Yu fight with that little guy!

Has Lan Yu been restless these days? "

"Yes, my lord!"

"Okay, go and invite him over!
Also, I asked Mr. Lu to go out to do errands. I don’t want him to know about my conversation with Lan Yu..."

This servant understood clearly that Lu Laoer was the royal guard who was discovered by the Lord and was hiding in his mansion.

Taking this person out is just convenient for the prime minister...

Not long after, Lan Yu came to Hu Weiyong's house.

It had been a while since I had seen him, and this young general of the Ming Dynasty looked haggard.

The somewhat arrogant atmosphere back then became calmer as he was suppressed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Hu Weiyong said:

"General Lan, I haven't seen you for a while..."

"Meet Hu Xiang!"

"Come on, let's go to the study and talk!"

Lan Yu was stunned. Generally speaking, if he was not a very close person or had something important to say, Hu Weiyong would not take him to the study.

He understood and nodded silently.

Follow Hu Weiyong to the study.

Entering the study, Lan Yu couldn't wait to ask:

"Master Hu, why did you ask me to come here?"

"I heard that you were inspecting a ship recently..."

Hu Weiyong got straight to the point and pointed out Lan Yu's recent whereabouts.

Lan Yu didn't expect that Hu Weiyong would be aware of his heartbeat. He blushed and nodded.

"Did you find the discovery you wanted?"

Sapphire shook her head.

He is just a military general who is idle at home, with no power and power. Even if he relies on his previous connections in the military to do something, he will not do more than others.

Especially when it comes to local officials, people in the civil service system may not give him face.

So even if he turned his suspicious eyes on Zhang Yi, he couldn't find any useful excuse.

"A while ago, I got some news...

Mr. Lan, your brother-in-law seems to be not simple!

When he was in the army in Zhejiang, he dared to threaten smuggling ships for his own benefit..."

Hu Weiyong started from Fujian and began to tell Lan Yu about the ridiculous things Chang Mao had done.

The imperial court imposed a sea ban, and no one entered the sea. Except for ships transporting grain, other people were strictly managed.

The imperial court also strictly monitored these ships going into the sea, but they couldn't stop anyone from taking risks.

Therefore, a large part of the Xuanwu Army's job is to catch smugglers.

Chang Mao has also done this task.

What Chang Mao did was to extort these smuggling ships and obtain a lot of profits from them!

But he went even further than others because he also invested in it!
Since he was Chang Yuchun's son, some people in the army vaguely knew about it and did not dare to report him.

Lan Yu was not surprised when she heard Hu Weiyong say these things.

He didn't think Chang Mao had done anything wrong, but Hu Weiyong would not specifically ask him to come over and say bad things about a person who was missing and probably dead.

He listened quietly to Hu Weiyong's words.

Sure enough, from Hu Weiyong's mouth, a line was gradually drawn from Fujian.

"Sir, are you saying that Chang Mao might take the initiative to kill Zhang Yi?"

Although he had come to a similar conclusion, Lan Yu did not admit it on the surface.But after Hu Weiyong figured out this line clearly, Lan Yu seemed to have understood it.

Hu Weiyong said hypocritically:

"The truth is that you have always been concerned about this matter, so I used my power to help you find it!
However, there is no conclusion on this matter. I am afraid that if you want to know the truth, you can only ask the little real person!
After all, that ship sank so weirdly!
The whereabouts of Mr. Chang may be known only to God and the earth, and to the little master of the Zhang family! "

Lan Yu gritted her teeth when she heard this.

Although the most important link in this chain of evidence is why Zhang Yi got on the ship and was able to get off the ship safely. There is no explanation.

But he was more certain than Hu Weiyong that he did it.

Because only he knew that Chang Mao had told him that he must help him vent his anger.

With Chang Mao's habit of criticizing like crazy, it would be strange that he didn't take action.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Hu, for your advice. If Mr. Hu is of use to me in the future, I will do my best..."

Lan Yu stood up and knelt down to Hu Weiyong again.

His domineering character, except for people like Chang Yuchun and Zhu Biao, is willing to act like this, which shows that he is very grateful to Hu Weiyong.

He didn't dare to tell Chang Yuchun or Zhu Biao about this matter.

Because Chang Mao was at fault first, the only thing the Lan family could do was take revenge.

Hu Weiyong quickly went to help her:

"General, if you act like this, you don't treat yourself as one of your own!"

"It's precisely because Jiang Hu was one of our own that I was like this. It's also because of that Taoist priest that I fell down. Now my nephew may also die in his hands!

It's a pity that even if I know the truth today, I can't do anything?
Apart from my sister, Hu Xiang is the only one who understands me! "

Lan Yu's voice was heavy and Hu Weiyong laughed silently.

He immediately changed his expression and said to Lan Yu seriously:

"Since General Lan trusts the truth, the truth has some heartfelt words. General, please remember..."

"Please speak, Mr. Hu!"

"I know you want to take revenge, but you also understand that Chang Mao doesn't care about this matter!

Moreover, Zhang Yi is so powerful that I don’t dare to offend him easily, so don’t get into trouble! "

Seeing Lan Yu's dissatisfaction, Hu Weiyong sighed:

"If you don't talk about anything else, just talk about the empty seal case. His Majesty killed so many people with just one word!

Moreover, I am afraid that the cause of all this is just because Hu Bu blocked their college's money, which caused such a big disaster!
Let me ask you the truth, do you have this ability? "

Lan Yu was immediately speechless.

Who in the current court knows the huge impact of the empty seal case?

Lan Yu also didn't expect that Zhang Yi was the one who provoked the empty seal case.

He believed Hu Weiyong's words because Hu Weiyong also lost a son because of the grudge between Chang Mao and Zhang Yi.

There is no room for relaxation between him and Zhang Yi, so they are naturally Lan Yu's natural allies.

Did Zhang Yi use the empty seal case to suppress Hu Weiyong?
Lan Yu felt scared just thinking about it. This guy's status in the emperor's mind was probably far more important than he imagined.

“So, bear with it!

You should beg His Highness the Crown Prince to restore your military power!

Your foundation is on the battlefield!Either go to Zhejiang and conquer Japan with your brother-in-law!

Either go to the north and wait for the opportunity of the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition!

These two places are the easiest places to make achievements.

Of course, you can also apply to go to Yunnan and Guizhou..."

Hu Weiyong is like an elder, teaching Lan Yudun earnestly.

It was rare for Lan Yu not to go crazy at this time. After listening carefully, he suppressed the unwilling flames in his heart and defeated Hu Weiyong again!
"Lanyu will definitely return Hu Xiang's share to Zhang Yi in the future..."

Hu Weiyong nodded with satisfaction and asked him to leave Hu Mansion through the back door.

When Lu Laoer and the others came back, Hu Weiyong was in a good mood and was already drinking tea alone.

"Master, you are in a good mood!"

"Of course it's good. With Lan Yu helping me pass on the news, Zhang Yi's incident will naturally be remembered in the hearts of people all over the world.

Those who survive the empty seal case will remember who caused them harm!

They will follow the truth closely, waiting for the day of revenge! "

Hu Weiyong has been talking since ancient times, and his mood is getting better and better.

The pain of his confidant being killed seemed to have disappeared!
The blood cloud in the sky seems to be lingering for some time.

Another month passed before the bloody light hovering over the palace gradually dissipated.

Zhang Yi has been paying attention to this matter silently.

In this air-seal case, 430 people died.

Compared with the major Hongwu case in his memory, this was already an act of mercy by Lao Zhu.

However, a rumor that made Zhang Yi feel something was wrong gradually spread in the capital.

That is, the initiator of the empty seal case is Zhang Yi.

"Good fellow, now all the scholars in the world should be eager to skin and remove the bones of poor people, right?"

When Zhang Yi learned about this, he wasn't too surprised.

"Master, who do you think spread this news?"

Yao Guangxiao sat next to Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi heard this and replied:

“There’s no point in dwelling on this issue!
Maybe someone in the palace leaked the news, or maybe His Majesty let someone leak the news on purpose. Who knows? "

Zhang Yi laughed at himself.

Yao Guangxiao was silent.

He found that Zhang Yi could carry it clearly better than anyone else...

"Your Majesty has to be a lonely minister even for his son, let alone a poor Taoist?
Okay, don’t talk about this, let’s talk about something happy...!
Old Yao..."

Zhang Yi blinked at Yao Guangxiao, who was stunned when he heard this:
"Master, what do you want to say?"

"The way you grow your hair is so funny..."

Yao Guangxiao touched the newly grown hair on his head and looked at Zhang Yi helplessly. After spending several months with Zhang Yi, he recognized more and more of the boy in front of him and gradually let down his guard.

“The Chinese New Year is coming soon, there’s no need to dwell on these issues!
Since the Yang Xian case, all the officials have been inexplicably hostile to me, Longhu Mountain!

If I'm weak, they won't mind stepping on me if I don't have this problem!So it’s not a bad thing!
What's more, whether it is the news spread by His Majesty or someone else finds out...

For me, it is safe for Pindao to be a lonely minister..."

Zhang Yi's calmness left Yao Guangxiao speechless for a long time.

"The new Minister of Household Affairs has recently taken office, right?"

Zhang Yi suddenly said:
"It's a great Chinese New Year, let's let everyone have a good New Year, isn't it too much?"

Yao Guangxiao looked strange. Just after the empty seal case was over, you came to ask for money?
Are you asking for money or blackmail?
Yao Guangxiao was both angry and funny. He seemed to have seen the frightened figures of those people before they even went to the household department.

Zhang Yi and Kong Yin's case not only deceived him, but also helped him.

If someone wants to use a condom on him in the future, they have to think about whether this guy can come up with another blank seal case...

He got up, went out, and went to the household department to ask for money. ,
Zhang Yi looked at his back, shook his head and said:

"Obviously Pindao is saving people, why do everyone think of me as a murderer?

That's it!

It's not too much to take the blame for the emperor and order more supplies during the New Year, right? "
