Zhu Biao followed Zhu Fan and Zhu Di beside him, Fu Zhong, Li Qi and others behind him, and behind him were the officials of Kaifeng Mansion.

There have long been errand servants on both sides of the road to maintain order, someone from the province rushed into the nobles, the people along the way looked at them curiously, Kaifeng Mansion is very large, when they arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, there was a group of people kneeling at the door, Zhu Biao frowned, but he didn't say anything, and walked into the lobby.

The three brothers found a place to sit down, and the remaining officials stood solemnly below, Zhu Biao lightly tapped the table with his fingers a few times and said, "Dare to ask you what kind of teaching the palace?" ”

The prefect of Kaifeng bowed his head and said: "The ministers dare not dare to have such a thing in the Kaifeng Mansion, and the ministers cannot escape the blame, and they have already gone to the court to ask for punishment." ”

Zhu Biao frowned, this person meant that there was no way to solve this matter, and he was willing to let the court deal with it, anyway, it couldn't implicate him, and it was just a crime of negligence.

Zhu Fan stood up on the side and said, "Presumptuous! The prince is here, and you still need to go to the court to deal with it? ”

Zhu Di also said coldly: "There are many ills among the officials in Kaifeng Mansion, and its granary is inexplicably on fire, which is obviously deliberately covered up, and the younger brother asks the imperial brother to severely punish the Kaifeng Prefect!" ”

The brothers have long endured this Kaifeng prefect for a long time, and they can only play Tai Chi in case of trouble, and they don't have a word of truth, if he works hard, where does he need Zhu Di, the king of Qi, to collect grain in person.

It's just that the eldest brother didn't come, and these princes had no evidence, and it was not easy for them to directly take down the top officials of the first mansion, so they wrote to ask the eldest brother to come to Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhu Biao's demeanor was calm at this time, looking at the Kaifeng prefect below and anxiously defending himself, this person was more than fifty years old, originally the Ministry of Industry of the Yuan Court, and took refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang in the early years, and achieved the position of the Kaifeng prefect.

The prefect of Kaifeng said more and more slowly, looking at the calm eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince above, as if his heart had been hit and contracted suddenly, he opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

Zhu Biao glanced at the officials behind him who were trembling like quails, Zhu Di told him last night that he had arrested Kaifeng Tongzhi, Tuiguan, Grain Chief and other officials in prison, and it can be said that the administrative system of Kaifeng Mansion has been dismantled for the most part.

Zhu Biao straightened up and said: "As the governor of a government, such a thing happened in the jurisdiction, how can you be able to overcome the crime of negligence." ”

The prefect of Kaifeng knelt on the ground and was about to continue to argue, but the official behind him couldn't stand still, knelt aside and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Kaifeng was sentenced, and Xue Ru, the prefect of Kaifeng, shielded the cholera side of the same party, stole the grain stored by the imperial court and sold it to the northern Mongolian department, and asked His Royal Highness to cure him for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country!" ”

Zhu Fan and Zhu Di looked at each other, it was not that they had not interrogated this Kaifeng general sentence, why didn't they stand up and say this matter at that time, otherwise they would have put the Kaifeng prefect in prison.

Zhu Biao was not surprised, he looked at Kaifeng Tong with a solemn expression and asked: "But it is a big crime to have evidence and frame the court officials." ”

The prefect of Kaifeng rose in blood, turned his head and took a deep look at the Kaifeng general judgment, turned his head to Zhu Biao and said: "Please don't believe this person's words, he has a lot of discord with the ministers, this is to trap the ministers in injustice!" ”

Then gritted his teeth and said: "Please ask Your Highness to raid the house of Wechen, if there is no letter of stolen money, please Your Highness be the lord of the minister, severely punish this fang, and give Weichen a justice!" ”

Everyone's eyes turned to the Kaifeng General Judgment, I don't know what evidence this person has in his hand, or just to show his face in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, and want to give His Highness an excuse to take the Kaifeng Prefect.

Zhu Biao squinted his eyes slightly, he couldn't relax the slightest bit about these old foxes, this Kaifeng general judge may not be a person from the Kaifeng prefect, he was just doing this to show Zhu Biao a double reed.

If Zhu Biao ordered to copy the home of a four-grade senior official based on his words, and nothing was found, then Zhu Biao would not be able to make a move against the Kaifeng prefect, and could only admit that he was a Qing official, otherwise he would only be regarded by others as a narrow-minded person, and there was no room for people.

Everyone looked different, Zhu Biao looked at him and said: Is there evidence, or do you think the evidence is in his house? ”

Kaifeng Tongju is not a hairy boy, he dared to stand up that he was ready, knelt on the ground and arched his hand towards Zhu Biao and said: "If you go back to His Royal Highness the Prince, just before the two highnesses of King Jin and King Qi entered Kaifeng Mansion, Xue Ru sent his family to send several large boxes of things to his concubine's house in the middle of the night, and the minister thought that there must be stolen goods among them. ”

Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at the Kaifeng Prefect, only to see that his face was pale, Zhu Fan and Zhu Di glanced at each other, they also thought that the eldest brother would raid his house after taking the Kaifeng Prefect, and he would definitely be able to gain something, but he didn't expect this person to have a plan.

The prefect of Kaifeng gritted his teeth and defended: "Your Highness, the lion roars in Hedong at home, and the minister loves the concubine so he secretly takes care of his family, it is not a stolen property, please let Your Highness know it." ”

Kaifeng Tong slammed his head on the ground and said, "If not, please behead your highness!" ”

As soon as Zhu Biao wanted to say something, he saw that the officials at the back were moving outside step by step, and it seemed that there should be a letter in the stolen goods that could implicate him, otherwise how could it be.

The official naturally felt the gaze of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and suddenly his nervous blood spurted out, thinking about the strict laws of the imperial court, and he suddenly fainted, and his feces and urine flowed.

Zhu Biao stood up and ordered: "Second brother, you and Li Qi lead people to investigate the place where Kaifeng Tongju said, be sure to hurry!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the prefect of Kaifeng also fainted, and many officials behind him immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "The ministers also want to impeach Xue Ru, please be gracious to Your Highness, Your Highness, the ministers have evidence of accepting bribes..............."

There is no need to talk about many things now, Zhu Fan took the order and left, the officials on the ground cried wolf, Zhu Biao knew at a glance that they couldn't run, otherwise why be so excited.

It's a pity that it's late, the crab is only enough for one person to eat, even if this Kaifeng general judgment is also somewhat implicated in this matter, as long as it is not too much, Zhu Biao will also open up to it.

It's also so that other people can take a look, so that they can make mistakes, but they can't hide them from this palace together.

Zhu Biao waved his hand to let them down, looked at Zhu Di on the side and said, "Have all the people in the prison been tortured?" ”

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Let them suffer a little bit of flesh and skin, but it's useless to be punished." ”

Zhu Biao knocked on the table and said: "Very good, when the mountain bandits of the third child are escorted, they will all be brought together, and they will all be sent to Fengyang to open up the wasteland, and after the wasteland is cleared, the canal will be dredged, and the imperial court will always have work for them to do." ”

Zhu Di thought for a while and said: "The rest of the people are easy to say, but those two marquis are the old brothers of my father, they are from Huaixi, and I heard that they still followed Chang Shuai during the first Northern Expedition." ”

Zhu Biao pinched his eyebrows and said: No matter who it is, the rules can't be broken, half of the nobles are guarding all over the town, if they take it lightly this time, others will follow suit, and how to deal with it when the time comes. ”
