Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 247 Recruit, not recruit?

then.

When Mr. Li struggled to push open the closet in front of the secret passage, he came out of the tunnel in disgrace. When he looked up, his pupils shrank sharply, and he froze in place, his mind buzzing continuously.

In front of him, more than a dozen pairs of teasing eyes were quietly looking at him.

After a moment of regret, Li Gong came to his senses and hurriedly drilled into the tunnel.

However, before he went in, two thick arms directly lifted him out, and then fell to the ground.

"Old thief, after finally getting out of this rat hole, how can there be any reason to go back?"

Seeing that he could not escape, Li Gong calmed down instead.

"Only the old man knows about the secret passage here, how does His Highness know about it?"

"Why does this king want to return you, old thief?"

Zhu Di smiled coldly, and then told the guards on the side: "Take someone in and search quickly, to see if there are any thieves and mice that have escaped!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Immediately, a few guards of King Yan's Mansion took off their armor and entered the tunnel with shields in hand.

Zhu Di and Zhu Biao still ignored Li Gong who was on the side, and just stared at the tunnel.

Li Gong couldn't help being a little dazed.

However, soon there was a sudden noise in the tunnel, which attracted his attention.

It was less than a moment.

Those generals who just got in slowly retreated out again.

At the same time, two strange gentlemen and a group of soldiers were brought out.

Seeing Li Gong, and Zhu Di and Zhu Biao who were wearing dragon robes beside them, the two gentry turned pale and knelt on the ground with a plop.

Zhu Di asked directly: "Tell me, where are the families of those old farmers hidden?"

Li Gong and the two gentry directly lowered their eyebrows and were pleasing to the eye, without saying a word in a very bad manner.

"A group of thieves, falling into the hands of this king, dare to speak hard?"

Zhu Di snorted coldly, "I said it, I can give you and your family a happy ending. If you don't say anything, we will send you to the capital and let the emperor personally intervene!"

The faces of Li Gong and the two gentry could not help but change, but they were still hesitating.

"Your Highness!"

At this time, Zhu Liang walked in quickly from the outside.

"Your Highness, just came out of a guard yard from the courtyard next door, and went out of the city in a hurry, but was stopped by the brothers who had been guarding outside.

After some interrogation, a nursing home recruited..."

"Very good!" Zhu Di's face brightened.

As for Li Gong and the two gentry beside him, their expressions changed drastically, and they were full of disbelief.

"This is impossible!"

"Tie them all up and take them back!"

Zhu Di glanced at Li Gong, then walked out.

Zhu Biao asked, "Fourth brother, are you going to Tongzhou?"

"Brother, I want to see for myself!"

"Let's go too!"

"..."

Soon, a group of people got into the carriage, and under the escort of a group of soldiers, they headed towards Zhangjiawan Wharf!

at the same time.

Tang Yun, Pu Sanji and others who were searching inside and outside Tongzhou City near Zhangjiawan Wharf also received the news and surrounded a house ten miles away from Zhangjiawan Wharf.

Then, before the people in that house could fully react, they broke into the house directly.

Anyone who resisted, whether it was a human or a dog, was directly slaughtered.

By the time Zhu Di Zhu Biao and others arrived, the battle was over.

There was a strong smell of blood in the whole house.

"His Royal Highness, there are 84 thieves hiding in the thieves' den, 53 of them were killed by the last general and others because of their resistance, and there are ten thieves and dogs, who bite anyone they see, and kill them all!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, looked at Tang Yun and continued to ask: "The family members of those old farmers are in this house?"

Hearing this, a trace of resentment flashed in Tang Yun's eyes.

"Report to Your Highness, I found them all!"

"Where are the people?"

On the side, Zhu Biao asked with some concern: "Are they all right?"

Tang Yun, Pu Sanji, and Cao Zhen could not help but glance at each other.

In the end, it was Cao Zhen who said.

"His Royal Highness, it's not very good. When I came, for every young man, a child was beaten to death and was being fed to the dogs.

There are also a few women who were played by those beasts..."

"Beasts!"

Zhu Biao was furious, and quickly walked in.

Zhu Di, Guo An and others hurriedly followed.

Inside the house.

Tang Yun, Pu Sanji and others had already cleaned up the place, and many corpses were piled aside.

As for the women, they were all wearing clothes, with fear on their faces, hiding in a corner of a house timidly.

Even those young children had some scars on their bodies.

Zhu Biao, Zhu Di and others looked even more furious.

"Come on, go and kill those thieves!"

This time, Zhu Biao didn't stop him.

Behind him, Guo Anchang breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly suggested: "Your Highness, can you let Jin Yiwei go to interrogate those thieves while they are killing them, they should also know something.

Perhaps, they can follow the vine to find more thieves! "

"That's it!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, then looked at Pu Sanji beside him.

"Pu Sanji, we don't care what method you use, we need to know what thieves are hiding behind these beasts!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Pu Sanji quickly responded, and walked out quickly.

Soon, there was a miserable howl outside.

Tang Yun asked again with some concern: "Your Highness, what about these women and children?"

"Ok?"

Zhu Di was furious, "Is it possible that those thieves dare to take revenge on these farmers?"

Tang Yun said nothing.

Not just revenge, but also loss of virginity!

On the side, Guo An said: "Your Highness, Commander Tang, let me take these people back first, as an explanation to those old farmers.

They can go home, or go to my farm in Prince Yan's Mansion, or even go to a place where no one knows them! "

"No one knows?"

Zhu Di and Tang Yun couldn't help thinking.

"According to what Guo Qing said!"

"Yes!"

Tang Yun answered quickly.

At this time, a soldier will come in from the outside.

"Report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Yan, Tongzhou Magistrate Jiao Jia and Tongzhou Wei Commander Qiu Pei to see you!"

"Let them in!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Not long after the general retreated, a group of generals and officials walked in with miserable faces.

"Weichen Tongzhou Zhizhou Jiaojia!"

"Qiu Pei, commander of Weichen Tongzhou Guard!"

"...Greetings to Your Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness the King of Yan!"

"Humph!"

Zhu Biao, who has always been benevolent, looked at all the generals and officials in Tongzhou, and they all looked unhappy.

"This is Tongzhou under your rule? Thieves are rampant, oppressing and poisoning the people, can you be aware of it?"

"Your Highness, forgive me, Weichen and others really don't know!"

Jiao Jia quickly explained.

This kind of thing is really a disaster for them.

The house here is only ten miles away from Zhangjiawan Wharf, so they dare not come to check it at such a short distance.

Moreover, in recent years, Tongzhou has really become an official cemetery.

For three consecutive years, three people in Tongzhou Zhizhou have been executed.

Now, such a tragic incident in Tongzhou is still related to His Highness the Crown Prince and King Yan. He, the magistrate of Tongzhou, should not even think about doing it.

Just as the newly appointed magistrate of Tongzhou thought, Zhu Di and Zhu Biao scolded him fiercely.

Then, let him go back and wait for the investigation by Jin Yiwei and the inspector.

Jiao Jia didn't dare to have any objection, even his body trembled, it was really the miserable howls coming from the surrounding room, it was too frightening!

As for Qiu Pei, he was only the commander of the Tongzhou Guard, and with this meeting, Daming's military status is still very high, especially this kind of powerful general.

Zhu Biao didn't blame, but asked Qiu Pei to send more sentries to patrol Tongzhou in his spare time, so as to prevent such things from happening again.

After rescuing the family members of those old farmers, Zhu Di and Guo An were not so anxious.

After returning to Beiping City from Zhangjiawan Wharf, it was already dark.

The city of Beiping also fell into silence.

All night.

The next day.

After Guo An was on duty, Zhu Di called Guo An into the Palace of Cunxin.

There is also Zhu Biao in the hall, as well as those old farmers and their families from yesterday.

After a night of rest, these old farmers and their families looked much better.

Zhu Di asked directly: "Guo Qing, what do you think should be done with them?"

Before Guo An could speak, the old peasants kowtowed to Zhu Di with horror on their faces.

"Your Highness, the villain deserves to die. Your Highness punishes the villain at will, and the villain has no complaints. Please look at the little old children and grandchildren, and forgive their lives!"

Zhu Di waved his hand helplessly, "You are also a victim this time, this king will not kill you."

A group of old farmers looked at Zhu Di in disbelief, and were immediately overjoyed.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, the sons of these old farmers were all killed. Now, only these old farmers, their daughter-in-law and grandson are left.

Wherever they want to go, let them go, go back to their homes, go to the farm, or Goryeo..."

Then, Guo An told all these places to the old farmers.

However, these old farmers expressed that they had no face to go to the farm, and they did not want to be far away from their hometowns, so they all returned to stick to their fields in the end.

In this regard, both Zhu Di and Guo An let these old farmers go.

Next.

It was the group of gentry, merchants, and three terrified officials who were captured yesterday.

"Do you have any recruits?"

Zhu Di asked coldly.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King Yan, and the lower officials are wronged. I don't know why these people are so treacherous, and dare to do such evil things to frame His Royal Highness Yan!"

"Yes, Your Highness, I really don't know, otherwise I would never..."

"To shut up!"

Zhu Di gave a cold snort, and said to Pu Sanji who was beside him: "Give me this king's delay and interrogate him separately!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Pu Sanji was not too polite.

After dragging the three officials, they walked out.

Zhu Di looked at Li Gong and his group again.

"Do you have something to explain?"

Li Gong and the others still looked bad.

"His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the King of Yan, the old man and others are all good families, and this time they are only here to do business in Beiping Mansion..."

"Pu Sanji!"

Zhu Di shouted angrily.

"Your Highness!"

"Drag these old thieves out for us and interrogate them one by one. This king will cut them into pieces and destroy their three clans!"

"Yes!"

Pu Sanji then began to greet a group of Jinyi guards, and dragged them into the hall.

Hearing this, Li Gong and a group of gentry and merchants suddenly changed their expressions.

"His Royal Highness, help me, we are really a good family! Your Royal Highness, we still have fame..."

"King Yan, you evil king with wolfish ambitions!"

"His Royal Highness, the villain has recruited, the villain has recruited everything..."

Hearing this, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di didn't move at all, obviously they wanted Pu Sanji to punish these people severely first.
