Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 92
(PS: There are two updates today, and the first one will be delivered.)
"Zhang Haogu, you are so courageous. A sixth-rank sesame mung bean official dares to arrest Gu's son! If you don't give Gu an explanation today, Gu will want you to look good!" Amidst the roar, the seventh generation of Ming Dynasty Zhu Shouyong, the King of Lu, rushed out of Ziyang County with a murderous look, leading a large group of heavily armed palace guards.Yang Bingyu and Zhu Yihai, the county magistrates of Ziyang who were kneeled on the ground by the Dongchang guards, immediately struggled and yelled like chicken blood, "Father, help me!" "My lord, help! Zhang Good old man, he wants to torture the subordinate!"

"That is Zhang Haogu?" Concerned about it, Zhu Shouyong, who is good at painting flowers, birds and orchids in history, does not have the usual gentle and elegant appearance at this moment-although it is just a fake, but the red-eyed horse gallops to Young Master Zhang In front of the group, he jumped off his horse and asked aggressively, "Who is Zhang Haogu? Stand up, I want to see today. What can you do to Gu's son? What can you do to Yang Bingyu?"

"Your Majesty, Zhang Haogu, pay homage to Lord Lu." Young Master Zhang consciously or unintentionally raised Shangfang's sword a little higher, and bowed his hands to Zhu Shouyong.Meanwhile, Xiong Wencan, the governor of Shandong Province, Huang Gun, the deputy envoy of Yancha, Sun Chaosu, the magistrate of Yanzhou, and Wang Bojing, the chief executive of Yanzhou, were secretly complaining in their hearts. True hereditary succession, at the same time, in terms of seniority, Zhu Shouyong is still the uncle of Ming Xi Zong Zhu Youxiao, and he is still a relative of the emperor who they can't afford to offend, but behind Young Master Zhang is the powerful Wei Zhongxian backing— - Gods fight, of course they dare not meddle casually, they can only obediently step forward to salute, and then obediently stand aside, silently watching the situation, ready to add icing on the cake when that side has the upper hand.

"You are Zhang Haogu, why didn't you kneel when you saw this king?" Zhu Shouyong said in an extremely arrogant tone, intending to overwhelm Young Master Zhang first.Young Master Zhang flashed the Shangfang sword, and replied with a smile: "Forgive me, my lord, now I hold the Shangfang sword in my hand, I dare not break the etiquette, owe the lord the gift, I will kowtow to the lord next time to plead guilty."

Zhu Shouyong was stunned and had nothing to say for a while, but all the people brought by Zhu Shouyong knelt down, and one of the young men who looked quite similar to Zhu Yihai kowtowed and said respectfully: "My minister is bestowed on Yanzhou Lusu King Zhu Shouyong's son Zhu Yipai , Kowtow to the Imperial Envoy." Young Master Zhang took a careful look at Zhu Shouyong's eldest son, and found that his temperament was quite amiable, as if he and his younger brother were on different paths.At this time, Zhu Shouyong had already found something to talk about, and roared to Young Master Zhang, "Zhang Haogu, what crime did Gu's son commit? Why do you arrest him? If you don't tell Gu's son Chou Yinmao today, it's fine." You are an imperial envoy, and I will never give up with you!"

"My lord, your little prince molested the girls in public, and even tried to rob him back to the mansion. As an imperial envoy, I had no choice but to arrest the little prince." Eldest Young Master Zhang bowed and replied politely.Over there Zhu Yihai yelled, "Father, don't listen to him, I just grabbed that little girl's sleeve and didn't molested any girls!"

Knowing the son is more like the father, Zhu Shouyong certainly knows the virtues of the youngest son, but Zhu Shouyong did not show any weakness, and still yelled aggressively: "The lonely son molested and robbed some civilian girl? Nonsense! Who saw it? The girl he molested is there, call her out and confront her!" Young Master Zhang was secretly happy, he turned his head to wink at Zhang Qingyun, and said deliberately: "This girl, how did Prince Lu's son molested you? Anyone who sees it, you can tell the prince, don't be afraid, as an imperial envoy, I will definitely avenge your grievances."

"He asked someone to take my hat off with a gun, and then took my hand, saying that he wanted to arrest me and take me to the city, and he wanted me to serve him." Zhang Qingyun pointed at Zhu Yihai pitifully with a look of horror on her face. Testifying, and pointing to the victims present, said timidly: "Everyone present here has seen it, so they can testify for me. Your Excellency, you must make the decision for me."

Young Master Zhang smiled, first gave Zhang Qingyun an appreciative look, then turned around and said to the livid Zhu Shouyong: "My lord, have you heard it all? The officer also saw with his own eyes that Mr. Ling molested and robbed this girl, you can also To testify, there are tens of thousands of disaster victims present who also witnessed Young Master Ling’s evil deeds, if the prince still doesn’t believe it, you can ask them one by one to confront them.”

Zhu Shouyong's face was even more ugly. Originally, it was nothing to him that his son raped and raped a few civilian girls. He didn't even bother to reprimand his son. Feeling a little tricky.Zhu Yipai next to him was more kind, pulled Zhu Shouyong's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Father, my fifth brother violated the law of the country and deserved his crime. We can't make mistakes again and again. Hurry up and ask my fifth brother to confess his crime and punish him. Fortunately, the crime is not serious. At most, you will be punished with some salary. Otherwise, if things get serious, it will be bad for your father’s reputation.”

If Zhu Shouyong is willing to listen to the elder son's harsh words, then the matter may be so understood, but the problem is that Zhu Shouyong is really upset at the arrogant expression of the young master Zhang, and refuses to bear this tone - this is also Zhu Shouyong's unlucky reminder.After a little calculation, Zhu Shouyong suddenly pointed to Zhang Qingyun and said: "Zhang Haogu, you can see clearly that this little girl is the concubine of Zhu Yihai, the fifth son of the orphan! A few days ago, she escaped from the palace privately and disappeared. Today, my son bumped into her, so of course we have to take her home and punish her according to the family law! The so-called molesting the people's daughter is just a lie and sophistry of this bitch, trying to escape the family law of the palace!"

As soon as Zhu Shouyong's words came out, there was an uproar in the audience, and Zhang Qingyun blushed even more, jumping up and about to explode.Fortunately, Young Master Zhang turned around in time, first stopped Zhang Qingyun with winks, and then asked loudly: "Girl, you said that your name was Zhang Qingyun, right? Lord Lu said that you are his son's escaped concubine. What?" Zhang Qingyun was furious, blushing and stomping her feet, roaring, "He farts... fart! Since when did this girl become his son's concubine?"

"You are! Lord Xiong, Lord Sun, Lord Huang, you all see clearly that this girl is my concubine Zhang Qingyun!" Zhu Yihai was secretly happy in his heart, and shouted loudly: "When I took her as my concubine, Master Yang, magistrate of Ziyang County, witnessed it with his own eyes, so he can testify to me." Yang Bingyu also yelled: "Yes, yes, I can testify that the Fifth Prince married Zhang Qingyun as his concubine last year!"

"You fart!" Zhang Qingyun jumped three feet high, her face was as red as a piece of pig's liver, and she just hated Young Master Zhang for pushing herself out to embarrass her.On the other hand, young master Zhang was full of embarrassment, and said loudly: "This will embarrass the lower officials. Your lord, you said that Miss Zhang is your daughter-in-law, and you denied it, Miss Zhang. In a short while, how can the lower officials make a decision?" How about this, Mr. Sun Chaosu Sun, you are the magistrate of Yanzhou, I will record this case as a confession and hand it over to you, and let you try the case of escaped concubine, and I will concentrate on trying Yang Bingyu, the county magistrate of Ziyang County, for his corruption of ink and food What do you think about the case, Master Sun? And Prince Lu, what do you think?"

"Okay, each case has its own trial. This case should be handed over to the Yanzhou government for trial." Zhu Shouyong agreed without hesitation—Zhu Shouyong weighed that he might not be able to overwhelm Wei Zhongxian behind Young Master Zhang in the court, but he could overwhelm a Yanzhou with no background. Prefect, that is more than enough.And Sun Chaosu didn't dare to refuse, but respectfully agreed, "The prince and the imperial envoy have orders, so I dare not obey."

"Very good." Young Master Zhang nodded, turned to the dog-headed military strategist Song Xiance, and said, "Master Song, Prince Lu, the fifth prince, and this girl Zhang Qingyun, have you recorded the confessions? Record them and give them a note, and put them on the spot." The case was transferred."

"It's recorded." Song Xiance knew what Young Master Zhang was up to, held up the confession he had just recorded with his portable pen and ink, and replied with a smile.Young Master Zhang nodded again, and ordered Song Xiance to bring the confession to Zhu Shouyong to sign and mark. Zhu Shouyong was proficient in writing and calligraphy, first read the transcript carefully, and after seeing that the confession was correct, he signed his name. Song Xiance then brought the confession to Zhu Yihai and Yang Bingyu signed the calligraphy and painting, and then handed it back to Young Master Zhang.Zhang Qingyun next to her was so angry that her nose was almost crooked, and she kept making small movements with her hands. She just pinched the soft flesh on Young Master Zhang's back. Young Master Zhang begged her for a long time with winks before she signed the statement.

"Okay, Imperial Envoy, can you hand over this case to the Yanzhou government now?" Zhu Shouyong asked impatiently.Young Master Zhang smiled, and suddenly raised his face and shouted loudly: "All the guards in the East Factory listen to the order, and I will take down the anti-king Zhu Shouyong who is trying to plot rebellion and rebellion! Put it into a prison car and take him to the capital for questioning!"

"Huh—!" There was another commotion in the audience, Zhu Shouyong could hardly believe his ears, and roared crazily: "Zhang Haogu, how dare you slander the king for treason? What do you have?" evidence?!"

"The evidence is this confession!" Young Master Zhang took Zhu Shouyong's signature and pledged the confession in one fell swoop, and shouted sharply: "The imperial edict of the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty: In order to prevent foreign relatives from monopolizing power and vassals from colluding with relatives and dignitaries in the court to cause chaos, all emperors, queens, concubines, Palace concubine, carefully choose the daughter of a good civilian family, and you are not allowed to marry the daughter of a prince. If the vassal king violates this order, he will be punished for the crime of treason! And Zhu Shouyong, as the vassal king, was entrusted to Yanzhou for the world, but you let your son marry the prince of the Ming Dynasty. Making the daughter of the British Duke Zhang Weixian a concubine is not marrying the daughter of the Duke? What is it if it is not plotting rebellion?"

"When did the orphaned son marry the daughter of the British Duke Zhang Weixian?" Zhu Shouyong exclaimed angrily.At this moment, Zhang Qingyun finally had a chance to speak, she stood up and gritted her teeth and said: "I am the daughter of Zhang Weixian, the British prince of this dynasty. Fame! Zhu Shouyong, the British government has nothing to do with you!"

"I've been fooled!" Zhu Shouyong spun and sat down on the ground.Over there, Xiong Wencan, Sun Chaosu and others looked at each other, and said in unison in their hearts: "Lord Lu is miserable this time, and he dared to offend the nine-thousand-year-old and the outstanding British Duke Zhang Weixian at the same time. His throne, I am afraid it is I can't sit still!"

"What are you doing in a daze?" Young Master Zhang shouted, "Why don't you take down the anti-king Zhu Shouyong and put him in a prison van and take him to the capital?"

"Master Imperial Envoy, please be merciful!" Zhu Shouyong's eldest son Zhu Yipai yelled, rushed to Master Zhang and knelt down on his knees, kowtowed and begged, "Master Imperial Envoy, it's my brother who is wrong, we shouldn't allow him to violate the law. The law of the country, molesting and robbing women, he deserves what he deserves, it doesn't matter how you deal with him, my lord imperial envoy. But my father and king are really wronged, he just loves his son, and he just told a lie in order to get my brother off, please lord imperial envoy Show mercy!"

"My son, please stand up, I have something to say." Young master Zhang had a pretty good impression of Zhu Yipai, so he helped him up and asked loudly and seriously: "My son, I want to ask you, Yang Bingyu is greedy for food for disaster relief, do you really know?" How much? How much is the Lu Palace involved? I hope you will tell the truth to the subordinate."

Zhu Yipai hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and replied loudly: "Master Imperial Envoy, after the imperial court ordered the opening of warehouses to release grain, Yang Bingyu sold all the grain in Ziyang County to the grain merchants in the city for profit. Later, the prefect of Yanzhou Master Sun sent half of the two thousand shi grains to Ziyang County, Yang Bingyu, magistrate of Ziyang County, to Lu Wangfu, and the remaining half is still in the warehouse of Ziyang County. Yang Bingyu plans to wait for the price of grain to go up Rise a little, and then resell it to make huge profits!"

After all, Zhu Yipai knelt down on his knees again, kowtowed and said: "My lord, the Lu Palace was greedy for huge profits and participated in the case of Yang Bingyu's embezzlement of ink and food. The crime is unforgivable. I am willing to accept the crime on behalf of my father and return Yang Bingyu. I donated [-] shi of grain to Lu Wangfu, and donated [-]... no, [-] shi of grain to the victims of the disaster as atonement! I just ask the imperial envoy to be merciful, and don’t embarrass my father!"

"Lord Lu, did you hear that?" Eldest Young Master Zhang said gloomily, "If you didn't pamper your youngest son like this, but taught him to be like your eldest son, why would you be here today?" Zhu Shouyong was ashamed, He lowered his head and dared not say a word.Young Master Zhang returned the confession that could put Zhu Shouyong to death back to Zhu Yipai, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, for the sake of your filial piety in assisting me to find out the case of Ziyang's food and ink corruption, this thing, I'll pay you back. But I've said something beforehand, your younger brother molested women in public, and you'll be punished thirty times according to the Daming Law Staff, and the three thousand shi grains you promised, I hope you will keep your promise!"

"Thank you, Imperial Envoy, I will go and arrange the food right away." With tears in his eyes, Zhu Yipai bowed his hands to Young Master Zhang to thank him, and hurriedly ordered the entourage of the palace to go back to carry the food.Young Master Zhang turned to Zhu Shouyong again, and said calmly: "Lord Lu, have you heard what you said just now? I am going to punish your youngest son. If you can't bear to watch it, let someone arrest you first." Send it back to the palace, and wait for the imperial court to punish you." After finishing speaking, Young Master Zhang shouted loudly: "Come here, knock down Zhu Yihai who molested the women of the people, and punish him with thirty sticks in public, so as to rectify the law of the country!"

"Father, help, Father!" Zhu Yihai cried like a pig, struggling and begging for help.Zhu Shouyong's complexion was pale, he didn't even look at Young Master Zhang and his youngest son, and was staggered back to the city with the help of others.As soon as he entered the city, the Dongchang guards headed by Chen Jianhuang immediately stripped Zhu Yihai of his trousers and pressed him on the ground to execute the execution in public. Dongchang's execution method is famous in history. There was always a splash of blood on his buttocks, Zhu Yihai screamed, and the surrounding Ziyang refugees cheered, and with another stick down, there was another splash of blood, a scream of killing a pig, and cheers. Zhu Yihai, who ran wildly with five sticks, tears and snot, passed out from the pain, but was immediately woken up by the wolf-like Dongchang fan who poured cold water on him, so that he could continue to be tortured awake...

Finally, after the thirty sticks were beaten, Zhu Yihai's buttocks and thighs were already bloody and bloody, and he was in so much pain that he passed out several times. Throwing it to the sky, it fell heavily to the ground, and woke up Zhu Yihai, who had passed out, and crawled there crying and screaming.Only then did Chen Jianhuang bow his hands to Young Master Zhang and said, "I would like to report to the imperial envoy, the execution is over, please the imperial envoy to examine the sentence."

"Very good, let his family take him away." Young Master Zhang nodded slightly, and walked up to Yang Bingyu, the county magistrate of Ziyang, holding Shangfang's sword, and raised Yang Bingyu's chin with the scabbard, facing the already The ashen-faced Yang Bingyu asked: "Master Yang, the prince of Lu has already explained to me the whereabouts of the disaster food. Do you need to use some of the secret criminal law of Dongchang for you to plead guilty?"

"I plead guilty!" Yang Bingyu, who was completely desperate when he saw that Young Master Zhang dared to punish King Lu, screamed, "I plead guilty, and I am willing to hand over the dirty money. Please forgive me, my lord."

"Just plead guilty." Young Master Zhang snorted coldly, and said to Sun Chaosu, the magistrate of Yanzhou: "Master Sun, you are half a local snake in Ziyang, what to do with the rest, I don't need to teach you, right?"

It is true that there is no need for Young Master Zhang to teach. Yanzhou Qianzong Wang Bojing brought 300 cavalry this time, together with the Ziyang local army who took over, they all acted under the command of Sun Chaosu, and first sealed off Yang Bingyu’s home and Ziyang County Then he opened the county treasury, counted and checked the grain that Sun Chaosu had hoarded in the treasury, and received a total of [-] shi of grain returned and donated by the Prince of Lu's mansion, re-formulated the disaster relief plan, and at the same time participated in Yang Bingyu's case of Yang Bingyu's corruption of ink. The county magistrate, the master, and Duan Dao, the head of the yamen servant team, were also escorted to the disaster relief site, tied up with Yang Bingyu and awaiting judgment.In the evening, two new porridge sheds were built, and more than [-] pots of fragrant thick white rice porridge were boiled out in the three porridge sheds.

"Dangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdangdang!" The gong sounded again, and the elated victims lined up again to receive their first real rations in more than two months.In front of the Ziyang disaster victims, Young Master Zhang first announced the crimes of Yang Bingyu and his gang in public, and charged Yang Bingyu, Ziyang County Chancellor, Master and Bantou Duan Dao (that is, the guy who molested women in public) head) tied in front of the victims, regardless of Yang Bingyu's group's loud grievances and weeping pleas, they asked Tianzijian to cut them off first and then played, and beheaded the four in public.When the four bloody heads fell to the ground, tens of thousands of disaster victims shouted long live, cheered like thunder, and scrambled to kowtow to Master Zhang.

"Fellow folks, I came late and made you suffer. I am guilty!" Young Master Zhang picked up another folding fan, and inserted the handle into the thick rice porridge in public. The fan stood upright, and Young Master Zhang He shouted again: "From today onwards, I will announce an order as the imperial envoy of the supervisory relief—Shandong will release the relief, and the porridge distributed by all prefectures and counties must be fanned! If the fan falls, the head will fall!"

What Young Master Zhang did in Ziyang County spread across the land of Shandong almost like a gust of wind. After hearing the news, the victims and refugees cheered and praised the first blue sky in Ming Dynasty, while most of the officials secretly scolded Young Master Zhang for being an asshole. Young and energetic, stupefied, lifeless, even the emperor's relatives and relatives dare not give face, and they will have a good life in the future-but no matter what, these officials dare not run into trouble when Young Master Zhang is in full swing. I can't find it anymore, I'd rather be less greedy than violate Young Master Zhang's ban on blowing people's heads off.Only a small number of honest officials were greatly shocked, and began to re-examine Young Master Zhang, a well-known sycophant in the government and the public, and gradually moved closer to Young Master Zhang intentionally or unintentionally.
