Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 16 Kill Again!

"Your Highness, calm down, Your Highness, calm down!"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall became awkward, Nie Zishi quickly stood up and rescued Ma Zhengjiang and others with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness, Ma Zhizhou and Li Zhi County and others have just come to Beiping Mansion. They have been exhausted all the way, and they are worried about the suffering of the people, so they lost their heads. Please forgive them this time!"

Then, he looked directly at Ma Zhengjiang and the others behind him, and scolded: "You are so confused, why don't you quickly beg for mercy from His Royal Highness King Yan?"

Yan Wang Changshi Zhu Fu who was on the side also knew that after the big implication not long ago, there was a shortage of officials in various places in Ming Dynasty, so he quickly stood up to calm the atmosphere in the hall.

"Yeah, it's alright Your Highness to appease your anger. The magistrates of the prefectures and counties are also impatient for a while, so they are a little dizzy!"

It's a pity that Ma Zhengjiang and Peng Shuilian didn't follow the steps given by Nie Zishi, Zhu Fu and others, but still stood at His Royal Highness with eyes full of resentment, like a newly married wretched woman!

Above, Zhu Di couldn't help but sneer.

"It seems that you don't want to be my officials in the Ming Dynasty anymore!"

"Your Highness!"

At this moment, Li Wang, the guard of Hundred Households of Yanwang Palace, came in from the outside with a strange expression.

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Di asked in a deep voice.

"His Royal Highness, the capital has an urgent letter!" Li Wang raised a letter above his head with both hands, and reported it respectfully.

Zhu Di's expression froze, "Bring it up!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

A servant standing beside Zhu Di bowed slightly to Zhu Di, then walked down quickly, took the letter in Li Wang's hand with both hands, checked it carefully, and handed the letter to Zhu Di.

Zhu Xi unfolded it directly and looked at it.

Down below, Nie Zishi, Guo An and other officials also held their breath and looked at Zhu Di above quietly.

The more Zhu Di looked, the weirder the expression on his face became.

After Zhu Di had finished reading, Zhu Fu, the chief historian, hurriedly cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask Your Highness, what happened to the capital?"

Zhu Di glanced at Ma Zhengjiang, Peng Shuilian and other magistrates who were still holding their breath with a half-smile, then handed the letter in his hand to the servant on the side, and asked it to be handed over to Zhu's residence below.

"There are some villains in the capital who dare to slander the officials of the imperial court. Hundreds of people have been arrested by Jin Yiwei. The emperor has decreed that these villains beheaded for public display!"

"what?"

Zhu Fu who just got the letter trembled.

On the side, Nie Zishi, Guo An, Zhai Shanfang and others were also full of shock.

Kill again?

As for Ma Zhengjiang and Peng Shuilian and other prefects and counties, their foreheads buzzed, they were dumbfounded, and trembled all over.

The tyrant didn't even give them the chance to resign?

It was Nie Zishi who came back to his senses first, and yelled at Ma Zhengjiang and Peng Shuilian and other magistrates behind him: "Why are you still standing there, why don't you quickly beg for mercy from His Highness?"

Afterwards, Nie Zishi hurriedly saluted Zhu Di again.

"Your Highness, the Guo Huan case has caused me to lose tens of thousands of officials in Ming Dynasty, and I can no longer lose officials. Please be merciful, Your Highness!"

"His Royal Highness Yan Wang forgives the sin, but the officials and others lost their heads for a while and begged His Highness for forgiveness..."

Ma Zhengjiang, Peng Shuilian and the others shuddered, their faces were pale, and they knelt on the ground, begging Zhu Di for mercy.

"Hmph, can you reclaim the barren fields?"

Zhu Di asked with a cold snort.

"Your Highness, please rest assured that the mere barren fields will definitely be reclaimed by the lower officials!" Ma Zhengjiang and Peng Shui nodded in succession.

"Can you go deep into the Jiali of each prefecture and county to understand the situation of the people in each prefecture and county?" Zhu Di asked again.

"Can, can..."

"His Royal Highness, Jin Yiwei Qianhu Pu Sanji asks to see you!"

Suddenly, Zhu Liang, who was in armor, also walked in quickly, and reported to Zhu Di with his hands clasped.

"Pu Sanji?"

Zhu Di was taken aback.

On the other hand, Ma Zhengjiang, Peng Shuilian and others, remembering what Zhu Di said just now, their faces turned pale, and they were so frightened that they shivered like chaff.

The shadow of a person, the name of a tree!
At this time, Jin Yiwei suddenly came to Yanwang Palace, it was hard not to think about them!

Zhu Di said, "Let him in!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhu Liang bowed his hands and bowed, then stepped back quickly.

"Your Highness, please help me!"

"Please also ask His Royal Highness King Yan to save the officer..."

Ma Zhengjiang, Peng Shuilian and others hurriedly knelt down to Zhu Di again and kowtowed repeatedly.

Zhu Di looked at His Highness Ma Zhengjiang and the others with some disgust, but didn't say much.

Soon, Zhu Liang walked in with a burly general in a red flying fish suit.

"The last general Jin Yiwei Qianhu Pu Sanji sees His Royal Highness King Yan!"

"Pu Sanji, what are you doing in my palace?"

As for Pu Sanji, Zhu Di has met him many times, so he doesn't say anything politely.

Pu Sanji glanced sideways at Nie Zishi, Ma Zhengjiang and other officials, then bowed his hands and said, "Your Highness, forgive me, I will be ordered to arrest the villain who slandered the imperial court!"

"Huh? When did such a villain appear here?"

Zhu Di asked with a puzzled look.

"His Royal Highness, when Ma Zhengjiang, the new magistrate of Tongzhou, was in the capital, he and a group of rascals and villains slandered the imperial court and His Majesty more than once in a restaurant.

The commander ordered the last general to come and arrest this person! "Pu Sanji replied.

"You are wronged, Your Highness, you are wronged..."

Ma Zhengjiang's eyes widened, and he shouted at Zhu Di with a look of fear.

"Slander the emperor?"

In the palace, Zhu Di sneered, he could accept slandering the imperial court, but dare to slander his father?
"You should kill him! This person is Ma Zhengjiang, take him with you!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Pu Sanji cupped his hands and saluted.

"Are there any other villains who dare to slander the emperor?" Zhu Di asked again.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the last general received orders from no one else!" Pu Sanji replied.

"That's good!"

Zhu Di said in a deep voice.

"Farewell at the end!"

Pu Sanji asked for instructions.

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

Pu Sanji walked over directly, like carrying a chicken, picked up Ma Zhengjiang who was lying on the ground, and walked out.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, help me..."

Ma Zhengjiang woke up with a start and shouted hysterically.

"be honest!"

When Pu Sanji went down with one hand, Ma Zhengjiang let out a muffled groan, but could only whimper, but couldn't make a sound!

In the hall, Peng Shuilian and the other prefects and counties stared blankly at all this, not daring to show any sympathy on their faces.

Guo An on the side was also shocked. How could a dignified Zhizhou from the fifth rank be taken away by a Jin Yiwei just because of a few slanderous words?

Even the chief envoy didn't have any chance to speak!

"Your Highness!"

At this time, Li Wang, who had just left for a while, walked in again, holding a piece of paper in his hand!

The atmosphere in the hall changed again!
"Bring it up!"

Zhu Di said helplessly.

"Yes!"

The servant at the side hurried down, took the paper, checked it, and handed it to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di unfolded it, took a look, and a smile appeared on his face!
At the same time, he subconsciously glanced at Guo An below!
This made Guo An's whole body tense up!
