Zhu Biao originally wanted to go on step by step, but he didn't expect that the Minister of Punishment gave him a surprise. It must be said that this old boy was very cruel to him. The doctor who diagnosed him just now said that if he applied harder, he would probably be dead.
It is estimated that he wanted to seize the opportunity to clear up the relationship. If the imperial officials are not strict in governing the officials, they will be dismissed from office. As long as he no longer has anything to do with the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, this disaster will be over. The dignified minister committed suicide in shame, even if
If the attempt fails, it stands to reason that the Holy Spirit should also give him some dignity.
But now they are said to have been silenced. This matter has become a big deal. Now it can be said that Zhu Biao will drag whoever he wants into the water, including Hu Weiyong and others. Only a few people who really saw the situation clearly just now, and finally still
It's not all Zhu Biao who has the final say.
Zhu Biao asked Old Master Han to keep silent for now, and then led his troops straight to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. He was escorted by Gongchang Hou Guo Xing. This man was Lao Zhu's personal guard and belonged to the same Huaixi Twenty-four family as Xu Datanghe and others.
Needless to say, the general's qualifications, merits and loyalty should not be overstated. Logically speaking, he should be a duke. However, he had an extreme personality and was often lawless, so he was only granted the title of Marquis of Gongchang.
Along the way, Gongchang Hou Guo Xing persuaded him: "Master Qiansui, if something like this happens, the Holy One will definitely be worried. Why don't I send you back to the palace first? I will leave the rest to you. I will definitely take care of it for you."
appropriate!"
Zhu Biao glanced at him. After thinking about what happened just now, he realized that it was an accident. What are you talking about now? Guo Xing's face under the iron helmet outlined a cruel smile and whispered: "Those civil servants are nothing, why bother? They only need a thousand years old."
Nodding, I will go directly to kill them all."
Zhu Biao was very happy when he heard this: "If you act like this, Gongchang Hou will probably die soon."
Guo Xing's expression did not change: "The final general is only loyal to the Holy Lord and Qiantose, and does not care about the rest. Many brothers also have the same intention."
The last sentence is the key. Zhu Biao nodded and said no more. Guo Xing followed him obediently. A storm was about to come this morning. Many people had already sensed it and wanted to find a safe place to escape.
It protects the family's safety and wealth.
Guo Xing was a standard Huaixi noble, and had close friendships with Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others. His sister had already entered Zhu Yuanzhang's harem and was named Concubine Ning. The year before last, she had given birth to the tenth prince Zhu Tan.
However, everyone knows that the prince is only a prince after all, and the prince will always be the prince. Zhu Yuanzhang spent more than ten years cultivating the best and most solid successor. To be honest, at this stage, even if Lao Zhu wants to abolish the prince, he will not
It's so easy, even moving Ming would hurt his muscles and bones.
This was also the reason why Guo Xing wanted to take shelter. If he wanted to take shelter under a big tree, he had to choose someone with a strong foundation. The prince born from his sister was naturally the closest to him, but he was born too young and too late.
Even if you can't grow up healthily, that's not necessarily the case.
When Zhu Biao arrived at the Ministry of Punishment Prison, he didn't say anything. Guo Xing behind him was a little confused, but he didn't dare to say anything more. It was okay to say it once to show his loyalty, but if he said it more, he would have evil intentions.
Nanxiong Marquis Zhao Yong immediately came out and looked at the prince carefully. He was relieved after making sure that he was not injured or frightened. He was a direct descendant of the prince who had followed the prince in the Northern Expedition. From now on, the honor and disgrace of his descendants would be tied to Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao asked Zhao Yong to get up, and Zhao Yong got up and reported: "After receiving the order, the general immediately took over the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The guards and prisoners were all under guard. There were two guards who wanted to commit suicide, but they were tied up with their arms removed."
Get up and wait for the general's orders!"
After saying this, Zhao Yongchao winked at Guo Xing who was behind Zhu Biao. Hearing that no one can call His Highness General, this is affection and qualifications. Let's see how you show off your sister in the future.
Zhu Biao was a little touched when he heard the title of General. Although the title was not taken back, not many people called him. Zhu Biao waved his hand and asked the winking Nanxiong Marquis to lead the way. The two guys seemed to have a good relationship, and they also knew each other.
After all, they are all the same thing, and Zhao Yong was not allowed to be granted official status because he violated military discipline.
Zhu Biao ordered people to interrogate the two guys who tried to commit suicide first, and then walked into the prison. The smell inside was indescribable. Zhao Yong said from the side: "This is the last time I ordered people to clean it. Otherwise, the smell would be so bad."
The son is even more aggressive."
There were soldiers guarding each cell, and the prisoners inside were so panicked that they buried their heads and did not dare to make a sound, let alone cry out for injustice.
The further inside it became, the darker and damper it became. Zhu Biao also saw a few prisoners in solitary confinement. They were in stark contrast to dozens of other people crowded together. Zhu Biao didn't ask much. This kind of thing has been around since ancient times. During the Ming Dynasty,
The same is true for prisons in various states, and it is not worthy of his personal investigation.
The prison of the Ministry of Punishment was naturally quite large. Zhu Biao walked for a while before stopping in front of a rather unobtrusive small cell. There were not only soldiers on duty, but also the chief registrar of Dali Temple.
Kneeling in the cell was a thin young man. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he could still feel that he was shivering. Zhao Yong was not a fool. He naturally saw that His Highness was coming for this person and immediately ordered his men to open the cell door.
.
Zhu Biao did not rush in and looked at the chief secretary of Dali Temple on the side and asked: "Is he the son of Song Nanhai, the former left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?"
The chief clerk immediately nodded and said: "I was an official of the Ministry of Punishment at the beginning. Logically speaking, this person should be Song Yaozu."
After Zhao Yong entered, he grabbed the man and started groping him. Nan Xionghou was as tall and tall as a black bear, but Song Yaozu was like a skinny monkey. After being pulled up, he did not dare to resist or make a sound.
He just covered his face tightly.
After confirming that there was no danger, Zhao Yong stood aside. The man knelt down again and buried his head in the haystack on the ground. Zhu Biao walked in and said: "Speaking of which, I have seen you before, so please raise your head."
At this time, Yushi Zhongcheng Han Qi also caught up with him. He frowned and wanted to ask the prince why he wanted to make the matter bigger. He had been bumped into by his colleagues many times on the road just now.
The man's body trembled even more after hearing this. Zhu Biao turned to Han Qi and asked, "Does Zhong Cheng still remember Song Yaozu?"
Han Qi was stunned for a moment and then immediately replied: "Remember, he is the eldest son of the former Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The month before last, he molested a common girl on the street in Luzhou Prefecture. He broke into the woman's home at night and defiled her. The woman's husband wanted to stop him but was stopped.
Song Yaozu's men beat him to death. Afterwards, the Luzhou magistrate was afraid of his father's official position and did not dare to report it. Later, after hearing about it, an old minister reported the case for impeachment."
Zhu Biao also knew about this matter. After all, it involved the Minister of Civil Affairs. After Han Qi reported the impeachment, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and immediately sent people to arrest all those involved.
