Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 419 Some people are anxious
Guo Mansion.

Guo Anzheng was lying on a soft chair with his head up, his eyes empty and thinking.

Suddenly, I heard a few dull footsteps, my heart felt inexplicably cold, and I couldn't help but frown.

Open your eyes slightly and take a look.

His pupils were wide open and he quickly sat up.

At some point, Zhu Di came to his house.

With a dark face, he walked straight towards him.

Xu Yong, the bodyguard of his Hou Mansion, followed behind with a respectful look on his face.

Without waiting for Guo An to greet him, Zhu Di said coldly: "Guo Qingduan is so happy and comfortable!"

Who messed with this guy again?

Guo An was confused.

"Your Majesty, who is this blind person who made you angry again?"

"Hmph, the Jin Yiwei are all a bunch of trash. It's been so long and they still haven't pried open the mouth of Dai Jiu, the clerk in Jiangning County!"

Zhu Di groaned angrily and said: "But in the court, those thieves and officials, in order to clear their name, have colluded and sent us memorials again and again to plead for Liu Wen and Dai Jiu!"

"We are so upset about this matter, but we didn't expect that Guo Qing's life would be so leisurely?"

Guo An immediately understood that it must be a group of officials who claimed to be the Holy Mother, and they were sending memorial requests or impeachment accusations to Zhu Di.

Anyway, those officials have learned a lot of Confucian classics since they were young. Zhu Di will definitely not be able to beat those officials when it comes to swearing and reasoning.

Moreover, those officials, especially those from the Hanlin Academy and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, were not only very courageous, but also had bad tempers and did not take the emperor seriously in order to clear their name!

During Lao Zhu's reign, how many officials were killed, and how many people were beheaded alive by Ling Chi, skinned and stuffed as grass?
As a result, when they encounter something that they think is right, they are still willing to impeach and defy the emperor!
For example, in the North-South case in the imperial examination a few years ago, even if Lao Zhu wanted to re-investigate, wouldn't those officials act on their own?
Specially select some bad test papers and let Lao Zhu read them?

In the eyes of those officials who only want a clear name, does the emperor count as a bird?As long as they can reason, they will fight to death!
And Zhu Di was not a good-tempered emperor!
So, after being unable to resist, the emperor Zhu Di felt wronged and came to him to vent his anger?

Thinking in his mind, Guo An quickly said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty has misunderstood, and Wei Chen is also thinking, why did Dai Jiu take such a big risk to offend Wei Chen?"

"Oh?"

Zhu Di's attention was instantly diverted and he asked, "Did Guo Qing think of anything?"

Guo Andao said: "Your Majesty, I have thought about it and all I can think of is benefit!"

"Benefit?"

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Exactly!"

Guo An said, "Your Majesty, I feel that there must be some fields outside Jiangning City that belong to Dai Jiu.

Or maybe those acres and farmers all belong to a certain wealthy family.

And that wealthy family could not only provide Dai Jiu with protection, but also provide Dai Jiu with great benefits.

Even after Dai Jiu's death, his family will still be able to enjoy the glory and wealth.

That’s why Dai Jiu is so hard..."

Guo An had no other experience, but later generations would see a lot of plots about corrupt officials.

However, Zhu Di's expression became strange.

"Guo Qing knows that Erhu ransacked Dai Jiu's house and found only a small courtyard with three or four rooms. They only found 30 taels of treasure banknotes and some jewelry, but there was nothing else of value!

Dai Jiu's son also died in front of Dai Jiu, and Dai Jiu didn't even speak! "

Guo An looked surprised, "Why is there only such a little bit?"

Zhu Di said: "So, this person does not seem to be doing it for profit as Guo Qing said..."

Guo An thoughtfully said, "Your Majesty, if this person is not for money, then why did he offend Wei Chen, the newly promoted Marquis of Dinghai, in this way?"

"Your Highness, the steward of Wei Chen's Mansion has calculated that there are only thirty small villages in the Jiangjun Mountain area, with a population of 61 households and a population of 550.

Dai Jiu, as a household clerk, must be very familiar with this matter.

Moreover, he should also know that Wei Chen can see it as soon as he goes to Jiangjun Mountain.

However, he is still like this...

That can only mean that they have some shameful deeds. Even if they offend a minor official or even disturb His Majesty, they still have to hide it! "

"What kind of shameful thing is that?"

Guo An suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.

"Your Majesty, do you think there are many acres in Jiangning County owned by Dai Jiu?"

Zhu Di looked at Guo An fiercely, "What nonsense is Guo Qing talking about? Dai Jiu's home has been ransacked by Jin Yiwei."

Guo An said again: "But Your Majesty, what if Dai Jiu has a secret outer room in Jiangning County that no one knows about, or even that outer room is Dai Jiu's real beloved wife and child?"

"This……"

Zhu Di suddenly looked horrified.

Guo An said: "Your Majesty, please let the Jin Yiwei go and question Dai Jiu's wife. No matter how Dai Jiu hides it, he will definitely not be able to hide it from the wife with whom he gets along day and night.

In addition, check the land account books of Jiangning County..."

Zhu Di's expression condensed and he said: "Yi Shiha, go tell Erhu about this!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yi Shiha responded and hurriedly walked out.

After Yi Shiha left, Zhu Di looked at Guo An with burning eyes, "How many extra rooms are there in Guo Qing's home?"

"This……"

Guo An was stunned, "Your Majesty, your Majesty should know clearly what is going on with Wei Chen. How can Wei Chen have an outside chamber?"

Zhu Di said: "How come Guo Qing has never raised an outhouse? How can he sit at home and know that Dai Jiu has an outhouse?"

Guo An said helplessly, "Your Majesty, I am just speculating! As for whether Dai Jiu is hiding in the outer chamber, we have to wait for the interrogation by the Jin Yiwei!"

"In this case, let's wait patiently..."

Zhu Di lay back and stopped talking.

Guo An was not surprised by this and lay down straight away.

"Your Majesty, I have discovered that there are many waterways near the capital, and I plan to ask the Chamber of Commerce to purchase hundreds of large ships to do some shipping business!"

"Shipping? Doesn't the capital already have one?" "Those shipping operations are done by some scattered boatmen without any planning. They are too irregular and are not conducive to the commercial development of the capital!"

"Guo Qing wants to learn from the car dealership in Beiping Prefecture?"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"We're ready!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"..."

"Your Majesty, Weichen remembers that Prince Yiwen once built a cement workshop. Weichen wants to expand its scale and buy a lot of cement from it!"

"Can!"

"His Majesty……"

"Okay, if you have any questions, please write a memorial together, and we will approve it for you tomorrow!
We finally found a clean place, but you kept nagging us, preventing us from being clean! "

"...Wei Chen obeys the order!"

……

in this way.

Another hour passed.

Yi Shiha came back with a happy face.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Dinghai is amazing. Dai Jiu actually has an outer chamber!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Di sat up instantly, his face full of surprise.

"That thief is so cruel that he doesn't care about the life and death of his legitimate son for the sake of his wife.

But has his outer room been captured? "

Yi Shiha said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Although Dai Jiu's woman told her about the secret, Dai Jiu wanted to die and refused to talk about life or death!"

At this moment, all the Jin Yiwei have been dispatched. Anyone who is related to Dai Jiu will not be pulled in, but will be questioned one by one! "

"Very good!"

Zhu Di said with a cold expression, "As long as we know that Dai Jiu has an extramarital affair, we will definitely be able to find out.

In addition, let Erhu send people to keep an eye on each city gate of the capital to prevent Dai Jiu from getting the news and escaping! "

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Also, are there any problems found in the fields and farmers outside Jiangning City?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. There are millions of acres of fertile land outside Jiangning City, and the Jin Yiwei are still reviewing them one by one!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Di was relieved now. As long as he grasped Dai Jiu's weakness, it was only a matter of time before Dai Jiu confessed.

"We want to see what kind of thief is hiding under our noses!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

……

And this moment.

In the palace.

Got the news that the Jinyi Guards were dispatched to arrest and interrogate a large number of Jiangning County government officials.

Some people couldn't sit still anymore and came to Fengtian Hall one after another.

"Your Highness, during the reign of Emperor Gaozu, the Imperial Guards were revoked because they were all vicious dogs who wantonly corrupted officials and killed innocent people!"

"Now that His Majesty has just ascended the throne, how can he re-activate these vicious dogs?"

"Your Majesty, please advise your Majesty that Liu Wen, the magistrate of Jiangning County, has been diligent and conscientious since he took office. The people of Jiangning County all praise him as a good official!"

"Your Highness, and Dai Jiu, the clerk of the household, went too far this time, and actually found such a barren land for Marquis Dinghai..."

"Your Highness, Dai Jiu deserves to die, but we can't let everyone in Jiangning County be in danger because of a cheap official!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty attaches great importance to you. The ministers and others are begging you to advise Your Majesty not to let the trouble continue like this.

Jiangning County is the capital of the capital. If those royal guards are allowed to do whatever they want, many loyal ministers will be unjustly killed, which will easily lead to turmoil in the court..."

"Your Highness..."

Looking at the group of upright and eloquent censors and ministers below, Zhu Gaochi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"Everyone, if someone scolds my father in front of him, what should you do?"

Zang Shiwen: "..."

Wen Chang: "..."

Lu Zhen: "..."

I wish I could cut that Liu Wen into pieces with a thousand knives. He has been serving as the county magistrate for three years. I finally gave you a chance to face the saint, but you actually scolded His Majesty in front of him!
If you want to die, you want to die, and you want to implicate innocent people like them!

"Your Highness, Liu Wen did not know His Majesty's identity at the time, and that's why he made such a big mistake.

But Liu Wen, the official..."

"Zang Yushi, I insulted the monarch and insulted the father in front of his son, how can we let him go?"

"As for Dai Jiu, as a clerk in the household, he knew clearly about his father's edict, but he dared to deduct money in private.

Do you know that Marquis Dinghai is our teacher?

Dai Jiu is not only insulting Dinghaihou, but also insulting his father and us! "

"Huh, now that things have happened, he, a little bitch, still dares to cry out for injustice, and bothers all the high officials in the court to cry out for mercy again and again?
Why is this?
The inside story makes people think deeply! "

Looking at Zhu Gaochi's gloomy face and his thoughtful words.

Zang Shiwen, Wen Chang and others couldn't help but feel their hearts sink.
