Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 43 shocked Wanli!

Wang Xijue left in such a hurry, Zhang Jingxiu chased him out crying, but unfortunately he was stopped after a few steps.

The person who stopped Zhang Jingxiu was Chen Yin from Jin Yiwei Qianhu. Seeing this somewhat familiar scene, Chen Yin couldn't help but feel his scalp numb.

Last time, Zhang Chonghui chased Ren Yangxin, but Ren Yangxin died that night. This time, Zhang Jingxiu chased Wang Xijue. Is it possible that Wang Xijue also died?
  Chen Yin was really scared. Last time, he was scolded by Zhang Cheng and Luo Sigong because of the sudden death of Ren Yangxin. He really didn't dare to be hasty this time, so he stopped Zhang Jingxiu and interrogated him for a while.

"I just want him to buy a more expensive and better shroud for my eldest brother. He obviously promised me, but then went back on his promise." Zhang Jingxiu replied.

Even if Chen Yindang sent someone to find Wang Xijue to verify whether this was the case, the answer he got was indeed the same.

There seemed to be no problem, Chen Yin thought so, but he still reported the matter to his boss Luo Sigong, who was conducting a house raid in another place.

……

Zhang Jingxiu was driven back to the backyard by Chen Yin, and the first thing he did was to go find his eldest nephew Zhang Chonghui.

"My eldest nephew, it's all my fault. The old man promised me, but he actually ran away. Woohoo, we were just a little bit away from getting him to help your father change into a better shroud. It's all my uncle's fault. It’s useless, wuwu..." Zhang Jingxiu said sobbingly.

Zhang Chonghui stepped forward and patted Uncle Liu's junior, comforting him: "It's okay, you're already great. By the way, you didn't forget to tell him about the pigeon egg night pearl, right?"

Zhang Jingxiu sniffed: "You have repeatedly told me to tell me this, how could I forget! I even exaggerated, saying that the night pearl is as big as a goose egg!"

"Ah, that's great. Uncle Liu, you can draw inferences from one example. You can be so smart at such a young age. You are truly a child prodigy!" Zhang Chonghui nodded in agreement.

Zhang Jingxiu was so flattered by the praise that he stopped crying immediately and began to ask curiously: "Speaking of my nephew, why do you want me to say those things to the old man? Can he really be punished like this? In addition, he is so good. General Qi obviously never gave me a birth gift... And how did my sister-in-law hide this jade pendant from under Jin Yiwei's nose and leave it to you?"

"Shh." Zhang Chonghui interrupted Zhang Jingxiu's endless questions and said mysteriously: "Want to know the answer?"

"Of course I do!" Zhang Jingxiu said seriously.

However, in the end, Zhang Jingxiu did not get the answer, because his eldest nephew said that the answer must be explored by oneself to truly understand the mystery. If he was told the answer dryly, there would be no happiness at all.

Zhang Jingxiu didn't quite understand, but what his eldest nephew Zhang Chonghui said was true, which made him feel that it made sense, but he didn't know how serious it was.

……

Facts have proved that the Jinyiwei raids were extremely fast. In just two days, the homes of those who had 'hidden Zhang family's stolen money' were turned upside down.

The speed was fast, but the proceeds from the house raid still surprised everyone.

"After ransacking so many people's homes, a total of 50,000 silver and three thousand gold were confiscated?" Zhu Yili took the list of the results and even laughed out loud as he looked at it, and said in a strange way: "Just this little money? Why not?" It’s not enough for me to reward you on my wedding day!”

Qiu Li, Zhang Cheng, Yu Shenxing and others below all had pale faces and didn't know how to answer.

Yu Shenxing felt even more complicated.

Fifty thousand silver, three thousand gold! Such a large amount of money is enough for many poor people to live without worries for several lifetimes?
  But in the eyes of Prince Zhu Yili, such a large amount of money is not even enough to reward people at the wedding...

It is true that the saint is unkind and treats the common people as stupid dogs...

"Your Highness, this official is incompetent, so this is the only way." Qiu Li had no choice but to say this. He has tried his best. If the emperor wants to punish him, then he should be punished.

"You are indeed incompetent!" Zhu Yirui did not give Qiu Li any face. He turned to look at Zhang Cheng, casually crumpled the inspection list in his hand, smashed it on Zhang Cheng, and scolded: "Hurry up and put it away The results of your raids will be sorted out and sent to the capital, so that the emperor can take a good look at what you wastes are doing!"

Zhang Cheng hurriedly picked up the paper ball and responded repeatedly: "I'll do it right now, I'll go right now..."

After reprimanding Qiu Li and Zhang Cheng, Zhu Yixi turned his attention to Yu Shenxing and said sarcastically: "Master Yu, you failed to achieve the slightest effect in this inspection! In my opinion, you should go back quickly. I apologize for my sins, and ask the Emperor to forgive you for the sake of the friendship between teachers and students in the past!"

"What about you, Your Highness?" Faced with Zhu Yili's sarcasm, Yu Shenxing did not panic, but instead questioned him.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Yili asked with a serious face.

Yu Shenxing held his head high and said frankly: "You said that we are waste and that we have not played any role. Then what role did you play? We didn't get much money from ransacking the house, but you asked us to do it. , if we are said to be incompetent, then you, Your Highness, are also incompetent?"

"Yu Shenxing, you are so courageous!" Zhu Yiliu was angry. He had never been so angry before. He immediately ordered: "Come here! Yu Shenxing dares to humiliate the royal family with words, give him to I'll drag him down and hit fifty big boards!"

"Who dares." Yu Shenxing remained calm as usual, his back seemed to be straighter, and he replied:

"What I said is all true. Why did I insult the royal family? Moreover, I am an official of the imperial court. Only the emperor has the right to order the punishment of me! Your Highness, Prince Lu, please don't forget that you are only the emperor's younger brother!"

"You!" Zhu Yiliu was so angry that he wanted to rush forward and kick Shen Xing to death. However, no matter how angry or arrogant he was, he still had a feeling of pride in his heart.

This title tells Zhu Yijun all the time, even if he has the same mother as the emperor Zhu Yijun, even if the Empress Dowager Li threatened to depose Zhu Yijun and make him the emperor instead.

But all this never really came true. Throughout his life, he had always been a lot shorter than Zhu Yijun. He could only be his brother's vassal.

Yu Shen walked, and the pampered young prince behind him was still going crazy, uttering very vicious curses at his back.

Ignoring these unpleasant words, Yu Shenxing just wanted to go back to the inn and write the news into a letter, and then send someone to the capital overnight.

The day after tomorrow was the day when Zhang Jingxiu was buried. He said he had to go and see his mentor's eldest son on his last journey.

……

This is destined to be another sleepless night.

Qiu Li, Yu Shenxing, Zhang Cheng and others were all writing vigorously.

Even Luo Sigong was busy looking for clues.

Only Wang Xijue was very leisurely, because he had already written the memorial as early as yesterday and sent it to the capital in a hurry.

It is estimated that by now, the memorial should have been delivered to the emperor.

On the other side, thousands of miles away are the capital's Yingtian Mansion, the Forbidden City, and the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun was shocked after reading Wang Xijue's memorial!

"Open... the coffin?"

　This book is so cool, not many people have read it... I beg you guys to read it, woo woo woo...
