77 Hongwu Case

 After the dinner, Chen Baihu walked drunkenly to his home.

He also held a bottle of golden elixir in his hand.

"This bitch went to bed so early today?" Chen Baihu entered the yard and saw that there were no lights on in several rooms.

"I put the things in the west wing." Chen Baihu went to the west wing drunkenly, not realizing anything was wrong.

With a "bang" sound, Chen Baihu kicked the door open and searched for the light switch in the dark.

"Hey, I found it, hey hey hey, my baby, let me see what the person named Wu gave me."

The moment the lights were turned on, two steel knives were immediately placed on Chen Baihu's neck.

Very quickly, Chen Baihu woke up, his first-level strength exploded instantly, and he struck people on both sides with both hands.

People on both sides grabbed Chen Baihu's fist and twisted it back.

At the same time, he felt someone hit him hard on the back of his knee.

His legs were weak and he knelt on the ground, his hands were twisted behind his back, and his head was held tightly.

"First level peak!" Chen Baihu was shocked. He already knew that something happened to him.

Who can find a home with hundreds of Jinyiwei households and set up an ambush? Who has such courage?

Only Jin Yiwei!

Sure enough, the people on the other side tied up Chen Baihu, then pulled him up by his hair and pushed him to the back room.

"Commander!" Chen Baihu looked at Mao Xiang, who was sitting in a high position. On both sides were guards in royal robes, all of them full of vitality and strength.

Chen Baihu's face was ashen. He was forced to kneel on the ground, his hair disheveled.

It's over, it's completely over. If other commanders or fellow commanders come, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Now that Mao Xiang is here in person, it means that the emperor knows!

"Chen Yu, it hasn't been long since you entered Jinyiwei." Mao Xiang rolled the hair of Chen Yu's daughter from Baihu and said.

"You let my daughter go! Let my wife go, I tell you everything, I tell you everything." Chen Yu shouted loudly and tried to stand up, but was immediately pushed to the ground again.

His family knows his own affairs, and he knows all the tricks Jin Yiwei has.

Mao Xiang clapped his hands and motioned to take Chen Yu's wife and daughter down.

He walked up to Chen Yu, patted his face, and said with a smile.

"One person, three tribes, or nine tribes, it all depends on your performance."

Chen Yu looked at Mao Xiang's smiling face and shuddered.

An hour later, Chen Yu was deposed, imprisoned, and escorted to the capital.

"The three of you will stay with me from now on and I will take credit for your merit this time." Mao Xiang patted Lu Jianxing on the shoulder and said.

I didn't expect that the small Longping Mansion would have such three talented people, who are ambitious, brainy, and highly cultivated.

Mao Xiang happened to be short of manpower, so he accepted it.

Mao Xiang is not afraid of being ambitious, and his work as commander of the Jinyiwei is not in vain.

"Thank you very much, Commander." Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian, and Jin Yichuan said with their hands raised.

"You don't need to thank me. Once this is over, you just pack your things and come to Beijing with me."

"Yes."

Wu Mansion.

The Wu family didn’t sleep either.

"Everything is ready. On the third day of next month, Cao will deliver the goods to the foot of the mountain outside the city." Wu Wenyong took a sip of the hangover soup.

"Well, don't worry about that little thing. You can make it back in time. By the way, didn't you say that the coalition government will purchase grain? We will send some people to the countryside tomorrow to collect grain." Wu Taigong said.

"Well, leave some for them. Just don't starve to death. We still need them to farm." Wu Wenyong lit a cigarette and took a nice puff.

Suddenly, the dog in the yard barked, and then the guards yelled.

Wu Wenyong ran to the window to check the situation, his eyes narrowed, it was Jin Yiwei!

"Dad, Jin Yiwei is here!"

Taigong Wu looked stunned, jumped out of bed, and saw the scene outside through the crack in the door.

The old man was not frightened. Taigong Wu pointed at the door and was speechless for a moment, Abba Abba.

"Son, you go find the second uncle and the third uncle. We have collected a lot of armor and weapons from the army. Let them arm the people!" Wu Taigong came to his senses and said to Wu Wenyong.

"Where are you, Dad?"

"I'm looking for the people named Cao and Chen. I just saw that the leading Jin Yiwei is called Lu Jianxing, and he is the Jin Yiwei of this mansion."

"When the adults arrive and charge him with rebellion, Longping will still rule the Wu family!"

Wu Wenyong nodded and ran to wake up the clan members. Wu Taigong put on his shoes and ran out of the Wu Mansion as fast as flying.

It's just that the direction is not to the government office or the military station, but outside the city.

That's right, the leader is Lu Jianxing.

While doing this cross-border smuggling, he obtained the information of all the Jinyiwei in Longping from Chen Yu.

But he didn't remember anyone except Lu Jianxing just now, so he decided to moisturize.

"Come in, and anyone with a weapon will be killed without mercy!" Lu Jianxing beheaded a guard guard to death with a single blow and greeted loudly.

"Hiding armored soldiers secretly is a crime that can be punished by everyone."

Lu Jianxing led his men to the backyard and looked at the heavily armed Wu clan members.

"Kill, leave no one behind!"

After burning the incense, Lu Jianxing came to Mao Xiang with Wu Wenyong's head.

"Fortunately, my subordinates lived up to their orders and beheaded me. It's a pity that the main criminal Wu Yun escaped."

"It's okay, he can't run away. Take all the prisoners and return to Beijing! Wait for His Majesty's disposal."

Jinling, Fengtian Hall.

"The Wu family of Gusu, smuggled grain, resold arms, and secretly hid armored soldiers, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, belong to the Yi tribe." The great eunuch Yun Qi read out the charges.

Zhu Yuanzhang has no expression on his face.

After the charges were read out, no one was left standing in the hall.

"Now the people's sins have been dealt with. Now let's talk about the officials."

All the kneeling civil and military officials felt their hearts twitching, official? Official!

Many people present recalled the four major Hongwu cases in history.

Perhaps the arrival of Wanjie City made Zhu Yuanzhang become a lot gentler. Many people felt that the environment was relaxed and they could do some small things.

But only Xu Da, Li Shanchang and a group of Huaixi veterans knew.

Zhu Yuanzhang is still the same Zhu Yuanzhang. If you dare to covet him, you dare to cut him off.

No matter what you are greedy for.

Yunqi took out another volume of imperial edict and began to read it.

"This thorough investigation revealed that there are many smugglers across the country, especially in Jiangnan. The smuggled goods range from grain to birds, from civilian to military. The imperial court suffered heavy losses."

"The following officials have been arrested."

All the ministers were frightened and afraid of hearing the names they knew so well.

"Minister of Household Affairs, Guo Huan." The first one gave everyone a surprise, and one or two ministers fainted immediately.

"Drag him out and send him to prison." Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.

Outside the palace, Mao Xiang shouted: "There are two elegant rooms in imperial prison, distinguished guests are coming!"

Yunqi continued to read.

"The Chief Envoy of Zuo of Gusu Province, Hu Weiyong."

This one is even more of a heavyweight, good guy, he has two of the four major cases together!

At this time, Lan Yu in the crowd was trembling. Fortunately, after Crown Princess Chang learned about the four major cases, she was very strict with Lan Yu, otherwise Lan Yu would have to fall into it now.

Yunqi read the names one by one, most of them were local officials, while most of the central officials were junior officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Halfway through, seven or eight more ministers were dragged out.

In the end, Li Shanchang and Xu Da were each punished with three months' salary for being lax in their duties, and spent seven days in self-reflection behind closed doors.

Anyone implicated in the six departments will be punished by the minister himself.

This storm started from Jinling and spread outwards. Teams of royal guards came out from Jinling.

Fifty-six out of ten local officials were beheaded, half were exiled, and Shuo Shu was left empty-handed.

This storm swept through the military, political and business circles, and countless people were dismissed, including many senior officials from the six ministries of the General Military Department of the province.

Wu Taigong was also intercepted at the portal after hiding in Tibet, and he was inevitably stabbed by the guillotine.
