Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 100
Good quality and cheap, the night scene is bustling, and low-priced items are sold on the streets.

Pedestrians come and go on the street, even saying hello is whispered.Everyone's clothes, shoes and hats were as clean as ever, and they were singing and dancing.

In the city, Zhu Biao took Mu Ying and Zhu Di out of several grain stores, and found that the price of rice here was more than half lower than that in Nanjing, and all the people had new clothes and hats.

Suddenly a soldier ran over and said a few words in Mu Ying's ear, his face changed drastically, he approached Zhu Biao, and said, "Your Highness, the second prince and the third prince have been taken away."

Zhu Biao's expression changed, and he turned to Mu Ying and said, "Go find Lu Wenxuan, the prefect of Suzhou immediately."

"Zhu Di, go find the second and third with the elder brother."

……

……

At the gate of the Suzhou County Yamen, several people dressed as fishermen held short knives in their hands, and were sticking to Li Zhicai, the county magistrate of Suzhou, and the master.

"Bold, do you know who I am? I am Li Zhicai, the magistrate of Suzhou County. I dare to threaten me. I don't want to live!"

"Shut up." The soldier dressed as a fisherman snorted coldly, pointing the blade at it.

Li Zhicai's back was sweating coldly, and these people didn't report their names, and the stalemate lasted almost half an incense stick.

There was a cunning flash in the master's eyes, and then he said with a smile: "Everyone, you are short of money or girls."

Li Zhicai smiled unnaturally: "Hehehe, there is money... This girl can also find for a few good guys—find them, and the good guys are merciful."

Seeing a few people ignore him, Li felt the coldness on his neck more obvious.

He's about to lose control right now.

Zhu Xing and Zhu Bing were tied up, their mouths were gagged, and they were so anxious that they could only whine.

Not long after, several fishermen came from the street in the distance, followed by Zhu Biao and Zhu Di.

"Here comes another group!" The master was so frightened that his legs were clamped together, and he was about to go limp.

Zhu Biao stepped forward and looked at Zhu Fen and Zhu Fang angrily: "You two, what's wrong with you again?"

"Let's go." Zhu Di went to a few yamen servants to untie Zhu Xi and the others.

Yachai held up his knife and looked at the meaning of Li Zhicai, the county magistrate.

Li Zhicai glanced at the knife on his neck, and hurriedly said: "Let it go, let it go quickly."

The yamen sent the ropes of Zhu Yan and Zhu Xi immediately, and Zhu Di took out the sermons they had gagged in their mouths: "Second brother, third brother, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Xi was angry and said: "Brother, you don't know, this dog official asked those merchants to keep the prices very low, and sell them at half the price."

"Yeah, big brother, my second brother and I want to buy a few crispy chickens, and the seller thinks it's cheap.

Who knew that when we paid, the merchant doubled the asking price. If we refused to accept the theory, the merchant said that we should beat him to death.Otherwise, don't even think about spending ten cents to buy it. "

Zhu Yan told Zhu Biao and Zhu Di about the incident in detail.

"I just said why the price is so low. It turned out to be them. This dog official should be beheaded."

Zhu Biao said to several soldiers: "Take them into the county government office and ask them clearly, and you two will come in too."

Binding the prince on the street and deliberately lowering prices in Suzhou cannot be let go easily.

Then Li Zhicai and the master only thought that Zhu Biao and the others were a group of water bandits.

After all, I heard that there are often a large number of water bandits on Taihu Lake, and the leaders of the bandits are scholars.

"Go!" The soldier's blade approached his neck a little more, shouting and rushing into the county office.

Seeing that this group of people did not kill him, Li Zhicai and his master boldly said, "Where are you good men, let's talk about it."

The other yamen servants in the yamen stood outside the hall holding their knives, hesitating not to come in, yelling and threatening.

Zhu Biao stood in the lobby: "Are you Li Zhicai, the magistrate of Suzhou Prefecture?"

"Yes, it's my official." Li Zhicai looked at Zhu Biao and said, "I don't know where the kings occupy the mountains in Taihu Lake."

Zhu Di couldn't listen anymore, and kicked Li Zhicai: "I'm not a water bandit."

At this moment, a group of officials rushed in from the gate of the county government, followed by Lu Wenxuan and Mu Ying, the prefect of Suzhou.

Li Zhicai saw Lu Wenxuan coming with the official messenger, and immediately shouted: "Master Zhifu, save the officials, they are a group of water bandits, and they are the white-clothed men we caught a few days ago."

Hearing Li Zhicai's sudden false accusation, Zhu Biao gave him a cold look and didn't speak.

"Master Zhifu, quickly help the subordinate officials to untie them."

"Shut up, my minister Lu Wenxuan, the prefect of Suzhou, has met His Royal Highness and met the prince."

Both Li Zhicai and Master's eyes almost fell to the ground, almost biting their tongues:

"Ah? He is too...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"It's good if you know." Zhu Xun next to him rubbed his wrist, and stood next to Zhu Biao with Zhu Xun.

"Prefect Lu, I came to Suzhou alone for fun, and I didn't want to disturb the people. Who knows this Zhicai, you can ask him what good things he has done." Zhu Biao said to Prefect Lu who was standing next to him.

Lu Wenxuan nodded, helped Zhu Biao move a chair and sat down, and began to interrogate Li Zhicai.

"Bold Li Zhicai, why do you want to change the price without authorization and cheat."

"Your Majesty, I'm an official... I'm confused for a while." Li Zhicai knelt under the hall.

"Master Zhifu, the villain was also confused for a while. This... just changed the price of food and asked the vendors to change into new clothes and shoes, just to create peace and happiness for the people. Your Highness, forgive me, I know I was wrong."

Lu Wenxuan patted the gavel again, and said: "Bold Li Zhicai, as a county magistrate, you actually falsified and deceived His Highness the Crown Prince. This is a crime of bullying the king."

"Not enough, we need to check whether he has been corrupted and whether he has colluded with the water bandits." Zhu Xi and Zhu Yu said beside him.

Lu Wenxuan asked Zhu Biao for instructions.

Zhu Biao glanced at him, nodded and said: "Prefect Lu, I believe in your ability to handle affairs and admire you very much. I will entrust you to investigate the matter of Li Zhicai. If you have the result, write a memorial to the emperor. It is a credit to you." It's yours too."

When Lu Wenxuan heard this, he was very enthusiastic and moved. He did not expect His Royal Highness to place such high hopes on him, and to leave his merits to himself. This is simply the mighty grace of the emperor.

His Royal Highness is indeed a benevolent king.

"Prefect Lu, get up and govern Suzhou well. Suzhou is a land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, so don't slack off."

Zhu Biao stepped forward to help him up: "Gu will hand over Suzhou to you. Next time I come to Gu, I hope to see that the people live in peace and happiness. Everyone has new clothes to wear and food to eat."

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince! The minister, Lu Wenxuan, will fulfill his mission."

When Lu Wenxuan sent Zhu Biao and the others to the gate of Suzhou County Yamen.

Zhu Biao said: "Gu brought a few younger brothers to Suzhou this time, please don't say anything.

If you have a chance, go back to Nanjing to see Mr. Liu and Prime Minister Li. "

Lu Wenxuan nodded, thanked him again, and sent Zhu Biao and the others away.

After a while, he turned around and entered the Suzhou county office.
