"My son is willing to take care of my father's worries and go to Shanghu County in person."

After Zhu Biao heard Queen Ma's analysis, he knew that he had misunderstood Li Jin.

Recalling Li Jin's various previous performances, Zhu Biao also felt that Li Jin was not like those rebellious people.

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he quickly stood up and went to clear Li Jin's grievances.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Biao, he wanted to get involved and said:

"Why are you causing trouble again?"

Zhu Biao was immediately poured a bucket of cold water on his head, and his excited expression turned lonely in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Queen Ma spoke for Zhu Biao and said:

"Father's debt is repaid by his son. The mistakes you made will naturally be made up for by our son."

"I think it's just right to let Biao'er go."

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the two women singing in harmony and couldn't help but said:

"Go, go, go if you want."

"But remember, if Li Jin really rebels, you are not allowed to bend the law for personal gain. Do you understand?"

Zhu Biao was overjoyed when he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang really asked him to go to Shanghu County.

This was his first time going out to do something, so he had to do it beautifully and impress Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Father, don't worry, I will never let you down."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, not having any hope for Zhu Biao's action.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang could almost guess the truth.

But if Li Jin can't clear his suspicion, even if Queen Ma pleads for mercy, Li Jin will have to kill him.

Zhu Yuanzhang would never tolerate rebellion.

If people in the world think that there will be no punishment for rebellion in this kind of matter, then I am afraid that his Ming Dynasty will be in flames all over the world in an instant.

After bidding farewell to Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, Zhu Biao changed his clothes and rode out of the palace under the protection of his guards.

Mao Xiang had been walking with Jin Yiwei for a while. At this time, Zhu Biao wanted to speed up and get to Li Jin before Jin Yiwei took action.

....

Li Shanchang's residence.

"Teacher, I didn't expect that today would go so smoothly. Li Jin fell down before I even exerted my strength."

Hu Weiyong sat under Li Shanchang, with a smile on his face and a proud look on his face.

"I originally thought that the emperor would attach great importance to this Li Jin, but I didn't expect that just a memorial was sent, and the emperor arrested Li Jin."

"After Li Jin is executed by the emperor, we will secretly arrange to take the magistrate of Shanghu County into our hands. The East Zhejiang Party will no longer be our opponent in the court."

Hu Weiyong even laughed out loud when he talked about what he was proud of.

But Li Shanchang didn't look happy at all, instead his face looked a little heavy.

After Hu Weiyong laughed twice, he discovered something unusual about Li Shanchang. His laughter stopped abruptly and he asked with a puzzled face:

"Teacher, what is wrong with my disciple?"

Li Shanchang shook his head gently and said:

"Did you notice Liu Bowen's reaction today?"

"Liu Bowen?"

Hu Weiyong suddenly remembered that Liu Bowen would intercede for Li Jin at today's court meeting, which made Hu Weiyong instantly vigilant.

"The teacher means that Liu Bowen knows this Li Jin?"

"But even if Liu Bowen knew Li Jin, in this situation, I'm afraid Liu Bowen would not dare to intercede for Li Jin anymore."

"After all, once the charge of rebellion is confirmed, I'm afraid Liu Bowen will also be dragged into the water."

Li Shanchang frowned. He did not think that Hu Weiyong's guidance had become easier. Instead, he said in a solemn voice:

"What I'm worried about isn't Liu Bowen, what I'm worried about is being in power."

"Do you still remember the last time a high-ranking official paid a private visit in private? Who did he bring with him?"

"The Queen, the Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince and...Liu Bowen."

At the end of the sentence, Hu Weiyong stood up suddenly and shouted:

"If Liu Bowen knew Li Jin, then the emperor must also know Li Jin."

"After seeing the prosperity of Shanghu County, how could the emperor not know Li Jin's abilities?"

"But if the emperor knows Li Jin's ability to govern the place, why would he cooperate with me to drag Li Jin into trouble?"

"Does the Emperor have other deep intentions?"

Hu Weiyong thought that today's court meeting was his victory alone. After all, with his careful preparation, he successfully pulled Li Jin down.

But now that I think about it carefully, Hu Weiyong is actually a little creepy.

The emperor is the driving force behind this. He is just using himself to achieve his goals. This is the most terrifying thing.

"But what is the emperor's purpose in doing this?"

Hu Weiyong was completely frightened by Zhu Yuanzhang's methods. Until now, he could not even imagine what the emperor's intentions were.

Li Shanchang gently stroked his beard and said cautiously:

"No matter what the emperor's intentions are, you must protect your witnesses."

"And the magistrate of Yiwu County, you must not go wrong with these, otherwise if something happens, I'm afraid you will get burned."

Hu Weiyong couldn't help but shudder. Now he was no longer in the mood to ask for credit from Li Shanchang. He said goodbye to Li Shanchang and hurried back to his mansion.

He needs to be prepared for any changes that may happen next.

....

Shanghu County.

A group of people and horses galloped along the streets of Shanghu County.

Even though Shanghu County has specially stipulated the roads for riding horses, the people on the street can't help but look at this group of people who are not slowing down in the busy city.

The flying fish suit, the embroidered spring knife, and the fast horse in brocade clothes are exactly the guards in brocade clothes that make people fearful.

The leader, Mao Xiang, whipped the horse quickly, hoping to reach Li Jin's mansion quickly.

Mao Xiang understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant. Mao Xiang, who had been to Shanghu County before, naturally knew the prosperity of Shanghu County.

The magistrate of Shanghu County has stayed here for five years and is naturally extremely wealthy.

This time Mao Xiang wanted to kill this rich, oily pig with a knife to replenish the emperor's health.

After all, the landlord's family has no food left, and the current court is really too poor.

Under the leadership of Mao Xiang, a group of royal guards quickly arrived at the door of Li Jin's mansion.

Looking at the familiar mansion, Mao Xiang laughed ferociously and planned to step forward again.

This time he wanted to see if the man who opened the door when he saw money dared to stop him.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from afar:

"Master Mao, please wait!!"

When Mao Xiang heard this voice, he quickly looked back and saw Zhu Biao also hurrying towards here.

After a while, Zhu Biao came to Mao Xiang. With Mao Xiang's help, Zhu Biao turned over and dismounted.

"I wonder what the purpose of Your Highness's visit is?"

"Is it because the emperor doesn't trust us and wants the prince to come and raid Li Jin's mansion in person?"

Zhu Biao was panting and quickly waved his hands and said:

"The emperor thought that Li Jin might have been framed, so he specially asked me to come and investigate."

"I'll go in first later, and then you can take action after I ask clearly."

"You are not allowed to act without permission before I come out. Do you understand?"

When Mao Xiang heard this, he was puzzled.

Either the emperor had already made up his mind before coming here, or else he wouldn't have sent his royal guards to search the house in person.

Why have you changed your mind now?

But now that His Highness the Crown Prince is here in person, Mao Xiang can’t say anything, so he can only hold up his hands and say:

"As commanded."

After Zhu Biao asked the Jin Yiwei to step aside for the time being, he took his two followers and walked to Li Jin's mansion.
