Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 435 Zhu Biao's Vigilance

The Criminal Department received the order to immediately re-investigate the matter of the mines and the Dragon King Cannon, and the official ship from Jingzhou Prefecture came to the capital.

Zhu Di wiped his knife and walked in front of Zhang Tianshou's three generals.Put knives on their necks.

He sneered and said: "The knife is sharp, let alone fingers, it can cut off arms."

The three generals were tied up and knelt on the ground, humming twice and not speaking.

"I have many ways." Zhu Di saw that the few people were indifferent, and said angrily: "The secret letter is from the capital. After returning, the civil and military officials will compare the handwriting one by one. When the time comes, you will be guilty of covering up, and the crime will be aggravated."

Zhang Tianshou said disdainfully: "Could it be that you can forgive our sins if we talk about it?"

Zhu Di put the dagger on the table, took down the teapot from the side, poured himself a cup of tea, raised his head and said, "It depends on how well you plead guilty.

In the name of the imperial court's military training, you actually invaded the people's fertile land, privately made fish scale books, and made tax payment booklets. Now these things have been collected by us.If you reveal the secret letter, maybe His Royal Highness will forgive you if you know your mistakes and can correct them. "

Holding the teacup, Zhu Di stared at the chapped lips of several generals, and said with a smile, "If you don't believe me, you can try it in the capital...Of course, if my elder brother doesn't kill you."

The three generals only took it as a joke. To them, it was already a capital crime. Apart from corruption, no one had ever killed a commoner.

"I don't believe it. King Zhou is playing tricks on us."

Zhu Di ignored him, snorted and looked at Zhang Tianshou beside him: "Bastard, do you believe it?"

"I believe it!" Zhang Tianshou replied without hesitation, looking at Zhu Di, in order to have a glimmer of hope of surviving.

"Do you believe it? Well, tell me, who wrote this secret letter from the capital." Zhu Di held the secret letter between his fingers, and shook it in front of them: "Speak!"

Zhang Tianshou was dumbfounded, then languished again: "I can't say."

Zhu Di was so angry that he was playing tricks on Lao Tzu?

With a direct kick, Zhang Tianshou was kicked to the ground, and Zhu Wei, who was standing outside the door, said, "Young Four, don't interrogate him, you won't be able to get anything out of the interrogation."

Zhu Di shook his head: "Third brother, I'd like to interrogate again to see if it's my whip or their skin."

Capital, Ministry of Punishment.

Zheng Shiyuan reported the firearm, Kaiji was wearing a shackle and an iron chain on his feet, and he would rattle after walking a few steps. He sat next to Zheng Shiyuan to deal with government affairs.

"Kaiji, you have performed very well in the past six months. After finding out about the firearms, go back alone and ask Father to remove your shackles and iron chains."

Kai Ji hurriedly thanked him: "The guilty minister Kai Ji thanked His Highness."

Zhu Biao nodded, looking at the confession and criminals handed over by Zheng Shiyuan. As the guard of the firearms depot, that man dared to bend the law for personal gain and transported out the mines and Dragon King Cannon privately. The Ming law would never forgive him.

Zheng Shiyuan took the prisoner and followed Zhu Biao to the secret hall of the Ministry of Punishment, and knelt down to confess.

"Xu Li, speak!" Zhu Biao's face was gloomy.

The yamen servant guarding the mine reservoir had been tortured long ago, and he was afraid of being tortured again, so he trembled when he saw Zhu Biao.

"His Royal Highness, Hu Canzhi was persecuted by Hu Canzhi. He had someone tie up his son. As a last resort, he secretly shipped the water mines and Dragon King Cannons to him."

"Hu Shenzhi?" Zhu Biao thought for a while, what did this Hu Weiyong want to do, Zhu Biao muttered: "But Hu Weiyong!"

"Return to Your Highness, that's right."

Zhu Biao's heart sank, and he said again: "Xu Li, what you said is true?"

"It's true, but I don't know why the mine and the Dragon King Cannon exploded in the river outside the capital, so I dare not tell half a lie."

Zhu Biao got up and walked to Xu Li's side, and told Lu Zhong beside him, "Bring him to His Majesty, take Hu Weiyong to Zhao Prison, and interrogate him immediately."

The housekeeper of the Hu family rushed all the way back to Hu Weiyong's study, lying on the door of the study and panting, "Old...Master, hoo hoo, master is not good... hoo!"

"Come in."

Hu Weiyong is reading an art of war.

Guanshi Hu bent over, panted heavily, and moved into the study room, put his hands on his knees, and said dryly, "No...it's not good...Master, let me slow down..."

Hu Weiyong frowned and asked, "Is it about Hu Dafu?"

"No... not..."

Guanshi Hu panted heavily, and after recovering a bit, he finally said completely: "I heard that...Xu Li was arrested by... the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and he will be sent to the palace to meet the emperor."

"What!" Hu Weiyong stood up in shock, and said tremblingly, "I'm going to the theater by the Qinhuai River."

Manager Hu was also terrified: "What happened to the master? Why did you let the little one supervise that Xu Li."

"Calm down, calm down." Hu Weiyong walked up and down in the study, feeling more and more guilty, with cold sweat breaking out on his head.

Manager Hu reminded: "Why don't you arrange for the young master to leave."

Seeing that Hu Weiyong was nervous at this moment, Manager Hu also guessed a bit.

"Dapeng?" Hu Weiyong nodded again and again: "Arrange him to go out of the city for a few days first, and let him come back if I have nothing to do."

Hu Weiyong panicked a lot, and he immediately arranged for Manager Hu: "You, go to Li Xiang immediately and say that I have something to see him."

Li Shanchang is now living in the capital for the elderly, so you can go to him, if Xu Li reveals the matter of the mine, then His Majesty will not let him go.

After all, the fishermen were killed.

I just hope Li Xiang can come up with an idea for himself.Anyway, they also have some relatives.

Before Hu Weiyong finished speaking, the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice kicked open the door: "Hu Canzhi!"

Lu Zhong and the others were already outside the door, waiting for Hu Weiyong to come out, and took him to Zhao Prison.

After hearing all the things Xu Li explained, Emperor Zhu angrily said: "Bring Hu Weiyong."

When interrogating Hu Weiyong, Lao Zhu asked there, and Zhu Biao simply went to do his own thing.

A few days ago, Hu Dafu's land issue had been found out, and this was also Hu Weiyong's secret trick.When the land was checked, it was Hu Dafu who came out, and when taxes and grain were paid, it was Youmian Tian who left.

He also reported these things to Lao Zhu.

After a while, the third and fourth children came back from the Huguang area, and the abolition of the privilege of exemption had to be done.

Zhu Biao also sent someone to inquire about the theater by the Qinhuai River that Hu Weiyong often went to, and was very puzzled.

After all, this is Zhu Yan's territory, and this Hu Weiyong always goes there in the middle of the night.The time when the mine and the Dragon King Cannon were lost happened to be a little closer to when I planned to leave Beijing.

Why did Hu Weiyong secretly hide the mines and Dragon King Cannon just to put them in the river to hear the sound?

At the risk of beheading, blow up a few fishermen for fun?

According to Hu Weiyong's IQ, he would never do such a boring thing.

All of the above made Zhu Biao very puzzled.It made him more vigilant.

A few days later, Zhu Yan and his boat had returned from Jingzhou Mansion.

　Ask for a monthly pass.
