In midsummer, even late at night, the palace was extremely hot.
It's not the kind of scorching heat where the sun beats down on your body, but the sultry heat that makes your whole body feel uncomfortable and sticky.
Especially inside the palace, the sleeping quarters are extremely small and almost airtight, making it even more difficult to fall asleep.
Zhu Yunxi was sitting on a round stool, shirtless in an almost indecent manner. Behind him, Zhao Ning'er held a wet hand towel and gently wiped his back.
The slightly cool towel slid across the skin, finally bringing some comfort.
What does His Highness think? Zhao Ning'er asked with a smile while wiping it.
Zhu Yunxi said, "Cool! Just don't use too much force!" As he said that, he laughed out loud. Some people thought you were rubbing Gu's back, and some people didn't know that you were taking a bath. Are there any chaps?
Zhao Ning'er patted her angrily, His Highness is always out of tune!
Hey, it’s just too hot. Otherwise, I’ll let you know what it means to be really out of tune! Zhu Yunxi laughed teasingly, don’t tell me, the weather is so hot, I really want to take a bath!
I will ask someone to prepare a bathtub for you! Zhao Ning'er said.
That's boring. To take a bath, it has to be a big pool! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, it's strange, there is everything in the palace, but there is no bathhouse!
Zhao Ning'er changed into a new towel, continued wiping, and whispered, with the bathhouse, His Highness may want something else!
Zhu Yunxi paused slightly and patted the other party's hand. You are right, that is exactly what it is like to have a long journey to Shu. When you have a bathhouse, you are looking forward to other things. People's desires are never-ending. Furthermore, what goes up leads to what follows, and the trend of extravagant enjoyment cannot be allowed.
!
He was smiling and talking to Zhao Ning'er when, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the bastard appear and kneel at the door.
What's wrong? Zhu Yunxi asked.
The bastard kowtowed shamefully and said, Your Highness, He Guangyi, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, handed in the note!
It's so late, what's the matter? Zhu Yunxi frowned and brought it!
The palace is locked after sunset and no one can enter. If foreign ministers have something to do, they can only pass through the small door and pass the note inside. If it were not an emergency, this would not happen at all.
After taking the note and looking at it, Zhu Yunxi suddenly changed his expression. He stood up directly, put on his clothes, and walked out angrily, out of the palace!
The bastard was shocked, Your Highness, this point has been locked!
Then jump over the wall! Zhu Yunxi said angrily.
After all, there was trouble in the land acquisition, and it happened so quickly and suddenly, and it turned out to be fatal!
When the emperor's grandson came out of the palace, there was naturally a lot of excitement. Zhu Yunxi followed Jian in a light carriage, led a group of guards, and galloped out of the small gate of the palace on horseback.
~~
Along the canal in the outer city, it was equally sweltering and mosquitoes were flying around.
Chen Dewen ran toward the place where the Geng family incident occurred. He was obviously awakened, his clothes were disheveled and his hair was messy.
oops!
Be careful, adults!
He almost fell, and the shoes on his feet were thrown away. Chen Dewen pushed away the servant who helped him, sweating all over his head.
Hurry, hurry over!
It’s such a big deal, land expropriation actually cost lives!
Three dead and two injured!
This is the emperor's feet, the capital of the Ming Dynasty!
I stumbled to the scene of the incident, and I was surrounded by people on three floors inside and outside who were watching the excitement and talking about it. There were also soldiers and government officials shouting. It was very noisy.
Get out of the way, get out of the way, Mr. Fu Yin is coming! The head of the guard team led the government soldiers to drive away the crowd, and finally pushed their way to the front.
The door of Geng's house was closed tightly, and heart-wrenching cries could be heard from inside.
What's going on? Where is Hu Dong? Chen Dewen stamped his feet and said, are the people who died or who? Why did they get up? Did the injured call the doctor?
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Dong came over from the side with a look of disgrace on his face, "Sir, the students are here!"
What a good thing you did? Chen Dewen scolded, causing such a big trouble!
It wasn't the students who caused the trouble, it was the unruly people who were causing trouble. The people who died were all students' subordinates! Hu Dong complained, and the Geng family had clearly signed the land acquisition document, but when it came time to demolish the house, they changed their minds and went back on their word. Erlang of the Geng family suddenly became violent.
It hurts people. Now the students still have two subordinates in their hands. The officials are afraid to catch them...
Pa, Chen Dewen gave the other party a loud slap in the face.
Tell the truth! Do you think I am a fool? How could you come to demolish the house in the middle of the night? How did it start?
Hu Dong covered his face, Sir, the students were wronged, really wronged. The students were responsible for this matter. It was originally agreed tonight that the demolition would be done tomorrow morning, but who knows why they started it at night? The students didn’t know why they were so okay.
, the Geng family went back on their word and even caused trouble!
He knew in his heart that losing someone's life was not a trivial matter, so the only solution now was to protect himself first, get rid of everything, and then make plans.
If there was a regret medicine in the world, he would definitely buy a basket of it and eat it with all his strength.
Despite all his calculations, he never expected that the Geng family would be so staunch! He originally thought of holding the Geng family and his son captive and demolishing the house, but who knew there was a man left in his family.
And this man, because he couldn't see his father and brother, actually took two injured thugs as hostages, put a knife on their necks, and said he wanted to bleed!
However, now is not the time to regret. The top priority is to remove himself. The fault is all the fault of his subordinates, and he was at most negligent. But the key is how much the Fu Yin in front of him can save him.
Sir, please rest first. It is up to the students to handle this kind of matter. During half a stick of incense, the students asked Geng Jia Erlang to open the door and let the people go, and he was captured without a fight!
You are still being clever when things come to a close! Chen Dewen said angrily, "If someone is killed, I already know about it. How could the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, the Inspection Soldiers and Horses Division, and the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department not know about it? How do you deal with it? What do you do with it?"
?
At a small scale, this is murder, but at a large scale, this is a civil commotion. In the final analysis, it was caused by your demolition of houses. Can you really handle it well so that it won't cause uproar in a short period of time?
As he spoke, Chen Dewen gritted his teeth and said, I am using you because I know that some people in the local area are hard to talk to and will act arrogant when they see the government. But you... As he spoke, Chen Dewen walked forward with a puff of sleeves and suddenly stopped and turned around.
, do you know who informed me?
Hu Dong also couldn't understand why this matter spread to the inner city so quickly.
Jinyiwei! Chen Dewen spat out three words coldly, which was Jinyiwei's criminal name Qianhu. He went directly into the official's back office and told me!
Buzz! Hu Dong was struck by lightning!
Jinyiwei!
In the final analysis, he is just a villain. He can threaten and intimidate people with unsavory methods, and he can use evil to bully good people. But in fact, he is just a paper tiger. If he loses his protection, he is nothing.
It's really a joy that brings sorrow. During the day, I was still thinking about making a fortune in the future. But now, Jin Yiwei has been alarmed. If Jin Yiwei doesn't know, maybe he can't help but shirk it, and even if he is convicted, Mr. Fu Yin may still save him.
But it alarmed Jin Yiwei...
What should I do? Hu Dongdun felt his hands and feet were cold.
~~~
Erlang of the Geng family, don't be stupid, you have already killed people, don't be obsessed with it anymore!
Open the door quickly and let the people out. This matter can still be delayed!
Several patrol officers from the outer city shouted outside Geng's house.
Bah, I’ve already killed three, don’t I care about killing two more? Where are my father and eldest brother? Send them back!
The courtyard was in a mess, with three men lying in a pool of blood. The Geng family's youngest son was grabbing one man's hair, and a sharp knife was almost inserted into his neck. There was also an injured man who was tied up by a member of the Geng family.
Your father and eldest brother? The police officer outside was stunned, how do we know where your father and eldest brother are?
In the evening, Uncle Kuan came to my house and said that the land expropriation company had offered my family a high price and asked my family to sign the contract. But as soon as my father and eldest brother left, these gangsters came to demolish the house! Geng Laoer shouted at the door, not only did they demolish the house,
They even tied up my mother, sister-in-law, and nephew! Later, I heard my eldest brother’s shadowy shout from a distance, saying that the people who expropriated the land lied to us and asked us to keep the house!
The police officers outside were confused. They came after receiving a report. They only knew that the second son of the Geng family committed a murder, but they did not know the whole story.
You release the person first and put down the knife. If you are really wronged, the yamen master will make the decision for you...
Damn your yamen master! Geng Laoer said angrily, who appointed these scoundrels who demolished people's houses and threatened people's lives? Aren't they the yamen master? If the master really makes decisions for the people, he will use these villains.
Dog bites?
Brother, stop talking nonsense! In the courtyard, the Geng family's sister-in-law was also going crazy, shouting, "Let him bleed like crazy and let them put my brother and our father back!"
After listening to his sister-in-law's words, Geng Laoer gritted his teeth and immediately tightened the knife edge.
Ouch! Old Geng was hit in the hand, and the man who was injured in the abdomen shouted, "Hero, spare your life, hero, spare my life!" Hu Dong asked us to do all this. First, we deceived your father and brother to draw a pledge, and then we demolished the house and arrested him.
I have taken your family as hostage, and you will have to admit it when the time comes.
I guess your father and brother are still in Hu Dong's hands!
Boom, the onlookers outside heard it and started cursing like a pot boiling pot.
Chen Dewen was stunned and turned around to look for Hu Dong, but he could no longer be seen.
However, under the light, he found a group of royal guards, surrounded by a young man with a gloomy face, slowly walking towards them.
