Zhu Biao shook his head when he heard this: "You are so stupid. It seems that even if the prefect of Huaiqing does not confess, you will not be able to escape this disaster. The Holy Spirit has given you, the imperial ministers, the right to patrol the sky on behalf of the emperor, so why don't you collude with corrupt officials? Your family
The servant has long been monitored by people from the pro-army captain's mansion, and even if he enters the city at night, his belongings will be searched."
Wang Shijian's face turned pale at first when he heard this, but then he became calm again and seemed to be in a trance. He knew that his chances of survival were slim, but there were still bloodstains all over the open space outside the county government office. In the future, he might also
There is no way to escape this fate.
Zhu Biao looked at his expression with great interest, and then said slowly: "Even if you reported Liu Chun because he humiliated you, you did something serious after all."
Wang Shijian's mood was up and down. Fortunately, he had been beaten by Liu Chun and others some time ago, and his body had become much stronger due to the medicine. Otherwise, he would have fainted from excitement at this moment.
"Your Highness, the guilty minister really realizes his mistake. If His Highness can show mercy, the guilty minister will definitely fulfill his duties faithfully in the future and will never dare to think of corruption again!"
Although I don't know why the prince suddenly relented, anyone who doesn't grasp this life-saving straw is a fool. Wang Shijian was born in the previous dynasty, so he is naturally a smart man.
Zhu Biao typed a few more words, and then said: "The Holy Spirit has a noble intention. It is not yet known whether the crime you committed will be given a lighter sentence. Now write down the details of the bribes you received along the way immediately. Wait until later."
I will personally present it to the Holy Emperor, and I will also take the opportunity to say a few good words for you."
Naturally, Wang Shijian kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic. Within a few moments, a green bump appeared on his forehead. Zhao Huai'an immediately took out the four treasures of the study and placed them on the table. Wang Shijian did not dare to get up without an order, so he was going to kneel down and write.
Zhu Biao saw that the beating was almost done. He was too lazy to humiliate him any more. He was an official of the imperial court anyway. He picked up the tea cup and said: "Get up, you dignified imperial minister. You are so immoral that you feel ashamed to even stand up now? Don't forget to do it in the future."
now.
Wang Shijian's nose felt sour. If he had not been involved in corruption and bribery, how could he have ended up in this situation? Even in front of His Majesty and His Highness, he could maintain his integrity, so why should he be so humble?
He stood up in shame, cupped his hands, and then started writing. After all, it was "Juren". The words were quite vigorous and powerful. It can be seen that the words may not necessarily be true to the person.
At this time, Liu An also came back. After taking a look at Wang Shijian, he reported: "Sir, I have given away all the money. Seeing that there are only two families with orphans and widows left, I am afraid that they will not be able to keep the emperor's grace, so I
He led them to exchange the money for house and land deeds."
Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "You are quite steady in doing things. It seems that you have learned a lot from your godfather."
Liu An was immediately happy, but he didn't dare to answer the question. If his godfather was around, he could just say a few clever words to make His Highness smile. But if his godfather was away, he would have to talk less and do more.
Upon hearing this, Wang Shijian roughly understood that the prince must have pitied the people who were persecuted by Liu Chun, and specially ordered the servants around him to send some property. His Royal Highness was indeed as benevolent and generous as the rumors said, and maybe he really had a chance of survival.
After he finished writing, Zhu Biao asked him to go out. Wang Shijian bowed and then withdrew. The moment he walked out of the door, the noon sun shone, which warmed up his already cold body.
The restless mood of the day has also become much calmer, and I have no regrets whether I live or die.
After Zhu Biao took a look at it, he asked Zhao Huai'an to put it away. It seemed that local officials were really wealthy. Wang Shijian was just one of the many patrolling imperial envoys. He only visited a few state capitals and got more than ten thousand taels of benefits.
.
It seems that the other imperial envoys who passed through these prefectures also received benefits. Wang Shijian confessed, and the flaws of the other imperial envoys were also exposed.
When the imperial ministers left Beijing for a patrol, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately asked them to set off one after another, and the places they patrolled overlapped, just to catch one, he could pull out the radish and pull out the mud and catch the others.
This purge of officialdom was nominally aimed at local corrupt officials, but its real purpose was to test Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial envoys. If he could not pass this test, let alone the future.
Zhu Biao lay back on the bed. Liu Anshou stood beside the ice mirror and slowly fanned the cool breeze in the direction of the prince to dispel the heat in the room. The frequency of this technique is very important. It can't be too fast or too slow. It can't let His Highness catch a cold or let His Highness get cold.
It's hard to sleep when it's hot.
If Wang Shijian hadn't come today, then of course there would be no need to say what his fate would be. He would just follow the emperor back to Beijing and then find some excuse to punish him after a while. The Liu Chun case has become so popular that who would care about a small imperial envoy?
Life or death.
But now that he came to the door by himself, Zhu Biao really had other thoughts. He was planning to leave for the disaster-stricken areas of Shaanxi and Gansu. He might not be able to see anything if he went to the disaster area in the open, and it would be difficult to bring too many people if he went in secret.
.
But the number of guards was short, and his father would not let him go. After all, the prince and prince were related to the country, so it was okay to go out, but how could he not have a large number of guards.
Zhu Biao originally wanted to ask Han Zheng to go to Shaanxi and Gansu in the name of escorting grain, while he secretly accompanied him. However, Han Zheng was the accompanying general, and there was no reason to leave the emperor alone, so he went to personally deliver a batch of grain.
Go to the disaster area.
But Wang Shijian's status is just right. If there was no case of Liu Chun, he would have gone to Shaanxi and Gansu to inspect. Now that Liu Chun has been involved, it is reasonable for him to continue on his own inspection route. In order to reward him, the emperor even gave him a more generous reward.
The size of the escort is also very reasonable.
Zhu Biao made his decision the moment Wang Shijian came in and confessed. No matter what he said, he had to go. The only difference was his final fate...
In the afternoon, Zhu Biao got up and washed his face, then took the confession and walked to his father's house. Fortunately, neither father nor son had the habit of taking concubines with them when they went out, otherwise there would have been many taboos.

Comrade Lao Zhu was very energetic and seemed to have gotten up after taking a short nap. After Zhu Biao saluted, he handed over the confession in his hand. Zhu Yuanzhang did not think at all, and it seemed that he knew that Wang Shijian had gone to see his son.
After taking a brief look at it, Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said: "Our imperial envoys are all quite good at doing business. Those who call me poor and miserable before me can earn enough money from this trip to go to the south of the Yangtze River and marry a beautiful wife and beautiful concubine for retirement."
.”
However, this was all within his expectation. Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and asked, "What do you think? Are you going to use his name to take a look?"
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "My father is wise, and there is no more suitable candidate than Wang Shijian. It would not have been appropriate to bring him back to Beijing. After all, it was an official order to impeach Liu Chun."
