Misfortunes came from heaven, and things happened suddenly.
Wu Dayong was horrified, and his mind went blank, leaving only fear. In the blink of an eye, several armored guards grabbed his limbs and hair, pulled him into the cabin of the imperial boat, and threw him heavily to the ground.
Then, a pair of boots embroidered with golden dragon patterns appeared in his eyes.
The horror in his heart and the intimidation of the imperial power instantly made Wu Da use his burly and fat body to tremble uncontrollably. His white middle coat was immediately soaked with cold sweat.
He didn't dare to raise his head or move. He lay on the ground in a prostrate posture, pointing at the pair of boots embroidered with dragon patterns, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, Wu Dayong, a thousand households of the Jinyi Guards in Hangzhou, see His Highness the Emperor Taisun, His Highness is a thousand years old."
Chitose…………
Kneel down and raise your head! Zhu Yunxi's cold voice interrupted Wu Dayong.
The latter slowly raised his head, and the cold sweat on his forehead couldn't help falling on the deck. He just glanced at Zhu Yunxi's young, gloomy face. Then he immediately lowered his eyes, not daring to look again.
Zhu Yunxi also saw Wu Dayong's face clearly. This man was a little chubby. He didn't look like a military attaché of the Jinyi Guard, but more like a member of a wealthy family. Moreover, he looked panicked, and there was no calmness in his eyes at all.
Such people are not suitable to serve as the eyes and ears of the imperial court in the local area. To be precise, such people are not suitable to exist in a military organization like Jin Yiwei.
I have something to ask you! Zhu Yunxi was the only person sitting in the cabin. Qin Mu, the minister of punishment, Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Gao Wei, the imperial censor, and Xia Changwen, the censor of Zuo Qiandu of the Inspectorate, all stood aside with their hands lowered.
Sir, I respectfully listen to His Highness’s reprimand... When Wu Dayong spoke, his teeth were chattering.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, a major case occurred in Hangzhou. Do you know? Zhu Yunxi sat, fiddling with the finger in his hand, and asked expressionlessly.
Wu Dayong's heart skipped a beat, his cold sweat broke out a little more, and he said, "Your Highness is talking about the rape and murder case in the academy?"
Zhu Yunxi raised his eyes slightly and sneered, "You know? Since you know, why don't you report it?"
When people are extremely panicked, there are two manifestations: either the brain is dead, or an idea occurs.
Wu Dayong now belongs to the latter. He hurriedly said, Your Highness, Hangzhou is the inner bodyguard of the Jinyi Guard. I am responsible for supervising the local area. Local criminal cases have their own place to deal with. They will then be transferred to the Ministry of Punishment for your Majesty’s inspection!
Well! Zhu Yunxi pouted slightly calmly, you are quite reasonable! After saying that, he slapped his hand heavily on the armrest of the chair and said angrily, I want to ask you, is there anything fishy about this case?
The sudden power almost caused Wu Dayong to lose his mind on the spot.
My Lord... My Lord...
You are stammering because there is something wrong in your heart! You must know it too! Zhu Yunxi sneered again, do you know that the Zhao family who were wronged went to Beijing to complain to the imperial court!
Ugh! Wu Dayong rolled his eyes, straightened his body, and actually fainted from fright.
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi's face was filled with disgust.
The Zhao family's case is actually not difficult. What is difficult is why the local officials wanted to frame it. Zhu Yunxi came to Hangzhou this time with no intention of trying the case. He just wanted to try the person.
He asked the Jin Yiwei to directly arrest the Hangzhou magistrate, Sun Xiaozhong and others. After a set of severe punishments, you would not believe them unless they said that there was no rule in the Ming Dynasty against punishing scholar-officials.
Summoning Wu Dayong was Zhu Yunxi's impromptu idea. There are no secrets in officialdom. He thought that if Wu Dayong knew something, it would save him some trouble. But he didn't expect that the dignified Hangzhou Jinyi Guards guarding thousands of households would be such a thing.
No wonder, the capital city didn’t know anything about such a big thing happening in Hangzhou.
Come to think of it, the guards guarding the other states in the world are not much better!
Wake him up! Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly.
After the words fell, several guards pulled Wu Dayong's hair and stuffed him directly into the cold bucket of water in the cabin.
Gurgling, the water is bubbling.
Ah! Wu Dayong struggled to raise his head and shouted in horror, Your Highness, spare your life, I deserve to die for my crime, I deserve to die for my crime!
You deserve to die. You don’t report big cases in the local area, and you don’t report the big unjust cases in the local area where you were beaten! What use do you have? Zhu Yunxi looked at him coldly and said, what benefits have you received?
Sir... I have not confiscated any benefits! Wu Dayong cried, Sir, I have really not confiscated a penny!
Why did Sun Xiaozhong want to frame the Zhao family? Zhu Yunxi asked again.
I...I really don't know! Wu Dayong kowtowed repeatedly. I have no right to intervene in local criminal matters. I just heard the rumors and thought the case was fishy, but the youngest son of the Zhao family over there has already been remanded.
I confessed my guilt and didn’t think much of it!
You are worthy of your name! Zhu Yunxi said angrily, Wu Dayong? Not very useful! Not to mention not very useful, you are of no use at all!
I am ignorant, I deserve to die! Wu Da broke his head with his head, it is my dereliction of duty!
I don’t know whether you are a useless person by nature or have been raised useless by the local government, but I guess you must have been colluding with local officials in recent years! Zhu Yunxi didn’t bother to look at the other party’s ugliness, so he went down and ruined your relationship with the local government over the years.
Everything is written down, don’t you dare to hide anything, hum!
I don’t dare, I don’t dare! As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Dayong was dragged away like a dog by several guards.
He Guangyi! Zhu Yunxi said again.
I'm here!
The core personnel of Hangzhou Jinyiwei Qianhu Station were all arrested after they landed and will be handed over to you for a good interrogation!
Don't worry, Your Highness! He Guangyi's face is not bright when Hangzhou Jinyiwei is like this. He gritted his teeth and said, "I will find out how many meals they have eaten in these years!"
Wu Dayong, a bunch of people are useless! Carefully screen the corpses of those who have no connection with the place, reach out randomly, or fail to report the knowledge. They will all be sentenced to death. As he spoke, the muscles on Zhu Yunxi's face twitched, leaving them with a whole corpse.
!
Not only was He Guangyi's face dull, the anger in Zhu Yunxi's heart almost turned into flames. The Jinyiwei were the emperor's personal soldiers, but they had fallen so low in the local area. These people deserved to die. They were supposed to be the center's voice, but they became cripples in the local area.
an accomplice of the people.
The Jinyi Guards need to be reorganized! Zhu Yunxi secretly thought in his mind, as there are generals, there are soldiers. Although Jiang Gu has some tricks, he just knows how to please the old man blindly and lowers his head to do things. In terms of management, it is a complete mess!
Zhu Yunxi sat silently, and the atmosphere in the cabin became even colder.
Several civil servants who followed Zhu Yunxi out of the capital lowered their heads and said nothing, but they were extremely surprised in their hearts.
The emperor's grandson had always had a reputation for being kind and generous, but now he was completely different.
Kill decisively and without mercy.
Moreover, the emperor's grandson's ruthlessness was different from that of the old emperor. The old emperor's anger was like thunder, but the emperor's grandson was cold in a different way, making people shudder.
I'm afraid this person will be difficult to serve in the future.
In fact, as the crown prince, he should not have such a gaffe. But when he thought of what happened to the Zhao family, perhaps it was the helpless indignation in his memory that made Zhu Yunxi particularly angry.
At this moment, he especially understood the old man's mood. How many families had these people ruined directly or indirectly? Intentionally or unintentionally, they also became part of the harm to the people. How much darkness did they add to this bright world?
Don't they deserve to die? Being in a high position and turning a blind eye to evil is a sin. Being in an official position and having no sense of justice is a sin. Maybe this idea is a bit extreme, but where can the common people who have been wronged go to make excuses?
As long as some of them had a little bit of sympathy, they wouldn't have caused a shocking incident that would make the people angry, and they wouldn't have created so many unjust souls in the world.
After calming down his anger a little, Zhu Yunxi stood up, walked, and landed!
As soon as his figure moved, flags were waved on the tower of Yuzhou.
On the shore, Li Jinglong, who had been waiting with his guards in full formation, shouted loudly.
The emperor's grandson arrived, and all the officials knelt down to welcome him!
His Royal Highness Taisun is a thousand years old!
In an instant, the shore was filled with densely packed heads of people undulating like a wave made of black gauze hats.
Power will only bow to higher power, and will only be cautious and humble before the power that overrides them.
Zhu Yunxi's feet finally stepped on the soil of Hangzhou. The city wall in the distance was already covered with red and colorful colors in a hurry, and the official road in the distance was also paved with yellow sand.
Power only serves power, and it is the best kind.
The bastard who followed Zhu Yunxi to the south walked arrogantly to the meeting officials with a fly whisk.
His Highness ordered Li Anqing, Chief Secretary of Zhejiang Province, and Ding Jizu, commander of Hangzhou Guard Station, to come forward!
I obey your orders!
These two people are the civil and military leaders among the ministers who have taken over, and they stepped forward as they should. Li Anqing has an elegant face, a long body, and looks like he has read poetry and books. He was a Jinshi in the third year of Hongwu.
The official career has been prosperous in recent years.
Ding Jizu was the general of the Zhu Kingdom who died in the battle and the concubine of Jiyang County Duke. He was stocky and powerful, and he looked like a warrior. The Hangzhou Guard was the Jiangnan David with more than 7,800 soldiers.
Ministers, please see Your Highness!
The two stepped forward and saluted again.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the two of them. Ding Jizu was the commander of the Hangzhou Guard Station. Soldiers could not interfere in local affairs. Moreover, he was stationed outside Hangzhou City, so he probably didn't know about it.
However, the Chief Secretary Li Anqing was closely related to the Zhao family's case. At the beginning, the Zhao family's Zhuangzi could not even enter his Chief Secretary's Yamen.
Li Fantai! Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly, I want to borrow something from you!
