"According to Hu Changan, he has privately informed all the aristocratic families and asked them to return their fields to the people."
"But as far as I know, except for the Lan family, other aristocratic families have not yet returned the fields they previously occupied."
"I suspect that Hu Changan was preemptively attacked this time and has been accused!"
What?
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was shocked and angry.
Zhu Yuanzhang had been emperor for so many years, and all kinds of scandals were common. He completely believed that those aristocratic families were exposed because of their scandals, and they accused Hu Changan of blackmail.
After all, Hu Changan is found to be innocent now, so the only ones with problems are those who sued him for no reason.
Only the old man who has been with him through thick and thin knows better what he hates the most and what he cannot tolerate the most.
Specially focus on the pain points to complain, and hit them accurately.
Zhu Yuanzhang was angry.
Unexpectedly, these old guys have been dazzled by the benefits.
They are no longer the young men who clamored to serve the people wholeheartedly during the uprising!
"Mao Xiang, send people to go to each village in Lishui County to check, which family dares to do something under my nose?"
"yes."
...
But Hu Changan, who has returned home, is unaware of the ups and downs here.
He was lying on the couch, ready to question someone.
After all, only a few senior managers know the precise financial data of Hu Mansion.
If Li Shanchang and the others were able to accurately complain, they must have bribed someone among them.
After a while, all the stewards who knew about it arrived.
Even several of Hu Changan's personal servants were kneeling at the foot of the steps.
Hu Changan will not ignore the role of these little people.
It is said that his father once wanted to bribe the concierge of Xu Da's house to save the country.
Hu Changan would not allow this kind of thing to happen under his nose.
After a while, everyone was brought in.
Hu Changan cleared his throat, lay on the couch and asked: "The day before yesterday, I was framed and imprisoned in the sky prison, and now I have finally been vindicated."
"It is said that the person who framed me actually made a fuss about the monthly income of Hu Mansion?"
"There are only a few people in the Hu family. Not many people know this kind of accurate data."
"The person who leaked the secret must be among you!"
What?!
After everyone heard this, they were all shocked and quickly defended themselves.
"Young Master, don't believe the lies of outsiders! I am most loyal to the Hu Mansion, and I will never deceive the Young Master!"
"Master, don't you still believe in my character, Old Chen? We have worked together for so long, have you ever seen me betray the Hu family?"
Just as everyone was explaining in confusion, Hu Changan keenly noticed that one of the boys kneeling on the ground had a different look on his face!
Perhaps because of his unskilled skills, the boy's face looked very unnatural, and there were even huge beads of sweat on his forehead. He looked guilty at first sight.
Hu Changan stopped everyone's shouting with a wave of his hand, pointed at the boy kneeling on the ground and said, "Xing'er, tell me, what exactly is going on?"
The boy had a guilty conscience at first, but now that he was called by Hu Changan, sweat broke out on his forehead and he couldn't even kneel down.
Seeing his appearance, Hu Changan repeated the question sternly.
At this time, the young boy named Xing'er could no longer hold on, and collapsed to the ground, crying: "Master, I'm sorry, Master, I have betrayed your trust!"
"The housekeeper of the Li family came to my house secretly one time and said that as long as he reported the young master's movements to them, he would get twenty taels of silver every month!"
"I was obsessed with money, so I agreed to them!"
"Master, I'm sorry!"
As soon as he said this, everyone else kneeling on the ground looked at Xing'er angrily.
What a tasty treat!
Isn't the money given to you by the Hu family not enough? You betrayed your master like this!
After hearing this, Hu Changan had no choice but to wave his hand and ask someone to drag him down.
It seems that the Hu family still needs to be disciplined seriously!
Everyone in the Hu family was originally left behind by his father, Hu Weiyong.
Hu Changan has a lot of things on his hands recently, so he is too lazy to change people.
Unexpectedly, a single oversight could lead to a huge disaster!
If it weren't for Zhu Biao and the others' efforts to protect him this time, and if Hu Changan had a clear conscience, they would probably have succeeded in this matter!
Hu Changan summoned the old housekeeper and said sternly to him: "As a housekeeper, this kind of thing will never happen again in the house!"
"You have to investigate everyone in Hu's house one by one and strive to turn Hu's house into a piece of iron!"
"Yes!" the old housekeeper responded quickly.
As a housekeeper, he didn't want this to happen in the Hu Mansion.
Only if Hu Mansion is good can they, the servants who are attached to Hu Mansion, be good!
After solving the traitor problem, Hu Changan continued to lie down on the recliner, preparing for a lunch break.
I had just been released from a dark prison, and now the sun was shining brightly. I couldn't bear to feel sorry for myself if I didn't take a nice nap.
...
However, Zhu Yuanzhang's life was not as leisurely as Hu Changan's.
Today, Zhu Yuanzhang is holding back a fierce anger in his heart.
When he went to court recently, he looked left and right at those powerful people who didn't like them, and he wished he could deal with them directly.
However, due to the lack of direct evidence, Zhu Yuanzhang had to hold it in his heart for the time being, almost to the point of causing internal injuries.
That afternoon, Zhu Yuanzhang was reviewing memorials in the Yangxin Hall when he suddenly heard a report.
"Subordinate Mao Xiang, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"Mao Aiqing, is this a matter of land grabbing in Lishui County?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked up impatiently from the memorial and asked.
"Your Majesty, this is not the case."
"My subordinates are still investigating the matter in Lishui County, and the statistics have not yet been compiled, but the matter in the military camp has a result!"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized.
There have been so many things going on recently that I have long forgotten about alcohol and the wounded soldiers in the military camp.
"Why, have the wounded soldiers in the military camp recovered?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with great interest.
"Your Majesty, you will find out after you go and see it."
"Okay, let's go to the military camp!"
There were still many wounded soldiers in the barracks.
However, at this time, they had long since gotten rid of the weakness of being bedridden before, and each of them was so energetic that they could knock over a cow.
If it weren't for the fact that it was still the same place and there were guards guarding it, Zhu Yuanzhang would probably not believe that this was the same group of people.
The military doctor on the side was also happy and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, the alcohol provided by Mr. Hu is really useful!"
"Originally, many of the wounded soldiers here have wounds that have suppurated and even developed high fever. According to my previous judgment, most of the people here may not survive more than a week."
"But with Mr. Hu's alcohol, everything changed!"
"Although it hurts when the alcohol is applied to the wound, after a few days of applying it, the suppuration and infection in the wound miraculously disappeared!"
