First Minister of Ming Dynasty

One person stood up, like an ant nest on the river bank, followed by a second, a third, and countless others... In front of the Huaixi Chamber of Commerce, hundreds of people fell to their knees on the ground. , Weeping aloud, someone accused Zhu Yidou of his evil deeds, burst into tears, and cried until he fainted!

There are many more people who are rushing here to hear the news.

Finally, someone dares to speak of Zhu Yidou's evil deeds, and finally someone can call the shots for the people.

Mountains and tsunamis, the sky and the earth are torn apart.

The eldest brother's reputation that Zhu Yidou had painstakingly forged for decades collapsed at this moment.

This city is still surnamed Zhu, but this Zhu is Zhu Yuanzhang!

Lao Zhu showed great patience in the face of the people's crying. He listened carefully, let someone stand up and tell the story, and let the big guy provide evidence.

After more than two hours of work, Lao Zhu's mouth was dry.

"Folks, elders, we all know what you said. Don't worry, we will decide for the big guy... You go back first and sort out everything you know. Starting tomorrow, you will be in Jiqing Mansion. , start the official trial of this case, and be sure to give everyone justice!"

Lao Zhu has repeatedly stated that he left the Huaixi Chamber of Commerce under the protection of Zhu Wenzheng... Just as Lao Zhu left, there was a person in the crowd, less than ten meters away from Lao Zhu, with his hands in his arms, tight Holding the dagger, his palms were sweating coldly, and his eyes were fixed on Zhu Yuanzhang's figure, but he didn't dare to pull it out!

Yes, this man is an assassin.

He was assigned by Zhu Yidou's righteous son to assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang in order to rescue "Big Brother Zhu".

To be honest, the assassination of Zhu Yuanzhang and the rescue of Zhu Yidou are fundamentally contradictory, but with the brain capacity of this assassin, it is impossible to think clearly.

He is a brave and ruthless gangster. In the first few years, Brother Zhu promoted him and arranged for him to carry bags at the dock. Later, he was fierce and liked to beat people. work.

He consciously stood out from the crowd and was a man of the highest order.

This change was given by Big Brother Zhu, and he should respect Big Brother Zhu, even if his head fell, he would not hesitate.

Repaying gratitude, showing loyalty, sticking swords in both sides... This is the lifeblood of our Jianghu people!

Dare to catch my brother Zhu, I will kill you!

In this way, he mixed into the crowd with a cold and sharp dagger in his arms. What is Marshal Zhu, I don't know, I only recognize Big Brother Zhu!

Such a generous assassin appeared in the crowd, but gradually, he felt something was wrong. More and more people came forward to accuse Zhu Yidou.

One of them was a porter at the wharf. He said that Zhu Yidou's minions bullied the good, knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow, forcing them to work, giving money every day, and honoring the elder brother.

He worked hard, day and night, and all the money was given to the eldest brother.

It is said that Zhu Yidou rewarded the work, but they do not know that it is to let the big guy work as a hard labor. To put it bluntly, he is not even as good as an animal, and he will be bullied by eagles and dogs. They drink human blood and eat human flesh!

When the porter said this, there were countless responses immediately, and most of the other industries did the same, and they were even exploited even more ruthlessly.

The big guy even had to give everything to satisfy Zhu Yidou's appetite.

One person after another stood up, complaining in tears, weeping hard, the surrounding people gritted their teeth, and shared the enemy... Gradually, a huge pressure came to the face, pressing heavily on the shoulder of the assassin.

He originally wanted to assassinate Lao Zhu, but now he felt that there were bad eyes everywhere in the crowd, as if they were going to stab him twice.

This guy never dreamed, how is it so difficult to be an assassin?

I don't care about life and death, what else is there to dare?

I'm sorry, he really didn't dare!

Zhu Yuanzhang listened patiently, and seriously asked Zhang Ximeng to record. He didn't say much, but he was a great encouragement to these poor people who had been exploited.

Everyone felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was kind and amiable, and when he said what the common people liked to hear, he was like a neighbor, relatives and friends, and almost forgot the difference in identities.

The support of the people can be seen with the naked eye, and the atmosphere of the scene is getting more and more enthusiastic... If you want to assassinate such a person, let alone whether it will be successful, even if it is successful, the surrounding people will grab them and tear them apart, right?

You can't even get a complete corpse!

The assassin was frightened, sweating all over his body, his heart was beating suddenly, and he was terrified. He watched as Zhu Yuanzhang passed by not far from him, and he didn't even have the courage to attack.

When Lao Zhu was far away, the crowd gradually dispersed, the assassin stood dumbfounded, his head awake a little.

How powerful is Zhu Yuanzhang, and so many people support him. Compared with his big brother Zhu, he is so much stronger that he is completely incomparable!

One is an immortal descended to earth, and the other is a humanoid. Thinking about Zhu Yidou's behavior of pretending to be garlic, it is not much better than the clown!

Now I don't dare to assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang. If I go back and get caught by Zhu Yidou's minions, the end will be miserable.

Just do it!

If I turn myself in, I can add another crime to Zhu Yidou. This can be regarded as taking the initiative to surrender to the case, and I have made a contribution to the crime.

This assassin's idea is also amazing!

If it was an earthquake more than a month ago that Zhu Yuanzhang entered Jinling with mighty mighty power, then this time he won Zhu Yidou, the sky was torn apart, and the oppressed public opinion spewed out like magma in the ground!

People flocked to the yamen to report, all kinds of cases, more and more. Zhang Ximeng had to call Yang Yuangao and Ruan Hongdao over, and even called Li Shanchang to help clarify the case.

After almost half a month of tossing, both Li Shanchang and Zhang Ximeng agreed that this case should never be investigated.

"Master, according to the report, there are no less than 300 cases of human trafficking. This is directly related to Zhu Yidou, and there are dozens of boys' transactions!"

Lao Zhu was startled, "He buys and sells girls, why is he buying boys?"

"This..." Zhang Ximeng grinned, and Li Shanchang coughed lightly, "Up above, there are many Mongolian nobles, as well as wealthy businessmen and even scholars, and there is a book boy around... All in all, it's a lot of fun. "

Only then did Lao Zhu understand that these grandsons really have a wide range of hobbies!

"Should be killed! All of them should be killed! One cannot be kept!"

Zhu Yuanzhang only really exploded his lungs with anger, didn't he say Zhu Yidou was loyal? Do you take care of your fellow countrymen? Is this the kind of care?

In fact, it's easy to explain this broken thing. Zhu Yidou is so kind to his fellow villagers, and he can give Yuan Ting a lot of food and grass. He still has a huge family business... Could it be that he has a cornucopia? Can you make money out of thin air?

If not, then there must be a problem, where does his money come from!

According to Zhang Ximeng's investigation, Zhu Yidou's industries include but are not limited to human trafficking, casinos, brothels, pawnshops, money houses, commercial houses, docks, private salt... A criminal law, except for the cover, he has done all of them, and Zhang's three books belong to three. Yes.

He nominally helped the suffering villagers, but once he accepted his help, he basically became a servant of the Zhu family, who would be beaten to death and squeezed to death.

"My lord, Zhu Yidou also sponsored many people to study."

"Reading? It's a good thing!"

Li Shanchang said with a dark face: "Up, these people who can read and write have been placed in the yamen by Zhu Yidou and become scribes!"

In an instant, Lao Zhu was so angry that his facial features shifted, and his chest was full of anger!

bastard!

"There are also many Zhu Yidou people in the yamen?"

Li Shanchang nodded, "At least 30%, especially those who collect taxes, are almost all installed by him!"

Up to now, Lao Zhu has nothing to say.

This Great Yuan Dynasty is really worthless, and it has allowed a gangster to be rampant to this point!

In such a court, there would be no justice if it did not die.

"It must be thoroughly investigated, and everything related to Zhu Yidou cannot be kept!"

Li Shanchang shook his head, "Up, I'm afraid it won't work!"

"No?" Old Zhu raised his brows, "Mr. Li, give us a reason!"

Zhang Ximeng hurriedly said: "Master, don't misunderstand, I have discussed with Brother Bai Shi, and our consensus is to completely overthrow and recruit officials again!"

"What do you mean?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in confusion.

Li Shanchang bowed and explained, "Up, I mean to abolish Jiqing Road, change Jinling to Yingtianfu, and then recruit officials from top to bottom. Only 30% of the original people will be retained, and then some will be transferred from the army, and then passed through from the people. Select a batch of exams. Only in this way can we completely eradicate the cancer, clean up the maladministration, and restore the people of Jinling to a bright future!"

It is really rare that Zhang Ximeng and Li Shanchang have achieved a high degree of agreement.

Yuan Ting's system is already rotten. As the center of Jiangnan, Jiqing Road is short of hundreds of schools, and there is no point in it.

This also proves that only when the order of the imperial court collapses can there be room for people like Zhu Yidou to grow savagely.

After Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, he decisively ordered that the case of Zhu Yidou is already too numerous to list just from the crimes that have been found out.

It must be dealt with seriously and quickly. There may be many things that have not been investigated, but it does not prevent immediate execution. It must respond to the demands of the people as soon as possible.

On the contrary, this kind of crime is extremely heinous, because it is limited by the file and official documents, and there is no result for a long time, that is the greatest injustice.

In troubled times, use the heavy code to cut the mess with a quick knife.

Zhu Yuanzhang circled one hundred and seven names in one breath.

Among them, Zhu Yidou was sentenced to hang, and Lao Zhu also specifically explained that he should peel the skin and real grass, hang the Temple of the City God, and wake up the world.

When this notice was posted, Jinling City was boiling.

In the past few decades, the big guys have been used to seeing the ups and downs of too many big people, but what do these high-ranking officials have to do with the common people... Anyway, no matter who they change, it is the common people who are bullied, and people like Zhu Yidou will always be The accomplice of the superior, stands firm.

However, the Zhu family army did not believe in evil, so they wanted to execute Zhu Yidou and change the old rules for decades!

How can people not get excited?

Perhaps the change they were looking forward to has really come!

On the day of the execution, considering that there may be a lot of people, the execution was chosen outside the city.

But even so, the crowd was underestimated.

Perhaps no one would have imagined that the girls from the brothel were the first to arrive. They were all dressed in dark clothes. on the gallows.

"Will ~www.readwn.com~ be executed? Don't let the old thief escape!"

A woman whispered.

The rest also gritted their teeth, widened their eyes, held their breath, and were too nervous to speak out.

Finally, the soldiers of the Zhu Family Army escorted the prisoner to the execution ground. When they saw Zhu Yidou, who was paralyzed like mud, everyone was boiling, and the women in the brothel shouted with tears!

"Kill! Kill him!"

"Kill the old thief!"

The sound is higher than the wave, the human heart is like this, and the will of God is like this!

The time came quickly. Sure enough, there was no accident. Zhu Yidou was sent to the gallows. After struggling for a while, the old man died of anger.

Then, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, he peeled off the skin... Immediately, they applauded in unison and applauded!

A Master Zhu died, and a Marshal Zhu was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people...
