In the early morning, the sky was just clear, and there was a sound of horses' hooves on West Chang'an Street, only to hear "Liu Qianhu, you go to the back door, not a single mouse is allowed to go out, I will go to the main gate." The Jinyi guard commanded Jiang Zhen to dismount, handed over the reins of the horse to the servants, and instructed his subordinates to "go and smash the door for me." Immediately rushed out of the two elite Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi, "bang bang" slammed the door: "Open the door, Jin Yiwei is doing things, and idle people are avoiding." ”

After a while, the door opened, and the porter poked his head out of it: "What door?" Any idea what this place is? General Lan's mansion, don't you want to live? Jiang Zhen waved his hand, Jinyi Wei squeezed open the door, opened the door, and rushed into the Liangguo Mansion, Jiang Zhen turned back to a young man and said, "Geng Xiaohou, let's go in." Geng Xuan smiled and said: "Lord Commander, Geng is only ordered to carry out the supervision task, and the search is the duty of your Jinyi Guard, don't worry about me." Jiang Zhen also smiled and said: "Geng Xiaohou said that he was joking, everyone is doing things for the emperor, let's go, let's see how much evidence of rebellion there is in General Lan's mansion." The group of mermaids rushed in, and there were bursts of kicking of the door, the screams of women, the shouting of men, and the sound of knives and guns clashing in the house, but they quickly subsided, and only the sobs of women remained......

Zhu Yunwen sent Zhu Yuanzhang back to the Qianqing Palace to rest, and asked Zhu Yuanzhang by the way: "Grandpa Huang, to what extent do you want to be tried?" Zhu Yuanzhang said very calmly: "I'd rather kill the wrong person, don't let it go, no matter who is involved in the rebellion, I will be arrested." By the way, let Changfu go with you, remember, don't be soft-hearted. Zhu Yunwen was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, Grandpa Huang, I remember." "I took Changfu with him, and on the way, he met with Zhan Wei, the secretary of the ministry, and walked towards Jinyiwei Prison.

Jinyiwei Yamen is in the west of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Zhu Yunwen and his party soon came to the lobby of Jinyiwei, and his subordinates quickly arranged the lobby, Zhu Yunwen took a seat, Zhan Wei sat with him, Wu Sheng and Guo Jian stood behind Zhu Yunwen, and Changfu stood aside. Zhu Yunwen glanced at Changfu and said, "Give the chief manager a seat." Changfu thanked him and sat down.

Zhu Yunwen glanced at Zhan Wei: "Zhan Shangshu, can you start?" Zhan Wei seemed to be a little distracted: "Oh, no problem, Your Highness, you are the presiding judge, you decide." ”

After a while, Lan Yu was brought up, with shackles, but he was not beaten, his clothes and hats were very neat, but he was wearing a crown dress of the Duke of Guo, which made everyone a little uncomfortable.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Lan Yu, he was in a trance, this person used to come to the Taigong Palace often, and he often saw him. But now that I took a closer look, I found that Lan Yu had aged a lot, and even had gray hair on her sideburns. He picked up the startling wood and knocked on the table and asked, "Lan Yu, why did you rebel?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, I didn't rebel, everything was slandered by Jiang Xuan."

"Lan Yu, if you don't have a certain certainty, the imperial court will not put a first-class prince and general in prison. You should say it happily, don't suffer from flesh and skin. In addition, the Jinyi Guard has already gone to your mansion to search, and the Yulin Left Guard has gone to your manor outside the city, and soon the evidence will be sent here, and it will be useless if you don't want to say it then. ”

"Your Royal Highness, I didn't rebel, I just wanted to protect myself, the emperor is old and suspicious, Hu Weiyong's case involved countless heroes, and my in-law Ye Sheng was also killed, can I not be afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"Fear of being killed for no reason."

"Lan Yu, let me ask you, are you guilty of secretly hiding weapons, stealing military horses, seizing Xifeng Pass at night, and expelling the investigation of the imperial history?"

"These are there, but unlike what His Highness said, the night grabs the Xifeng Pass because the soldiers think about returning; The expulsion of the investigation of the imperial history was done by the subordinate, and after I knew it, I also punished the subordinate; I am a soldier in my private possession of armaments, so I have more weapons at home, and some of the military horses are borrowed from some subordinates and will be returned. ”

"Lan Yu, you are really good at quibbling. Let me ask you, if you were not allowed to open the camp gate during the war, and your right-hand man came back and had to come in, and the gatekeeper did not agree, he would come in and kill the gatekeeper, what would you do with your subordinate? ”

Lan Yu did not hesitate: "Military law is engaged, and there is no forgiveness for killing." ”

"So you should be punished for taking Xifeng Pass at night? Those soldiers who guard the key points, aren't they my Ming soldiers? Their fate and highest honor should be to die on the battlefield, what did you do to them? ”

Lan Yuleng paused: "This is different, the army is fighting outside, and it will die for the rest of its life, but when it comes to the door, it can't get in." The soldiers clamored for it, and the generals had no choice but to do it. ”

"General Lan, you have great achievements, do you still want to tell lies when you come here?"

Lan Yu was silent for a while, and said, "This is the truth, there is indeed a phenomenon of soldiers clamoring. ”

"Zhan Shangshu, what do you think?" Zhu Yunwen turned his head and looked at Zhan Wei, the secretary of the ministry on the side.

Zhan Wei kept staring at Lan Yu's mouth, and when he heard Zhu Yunwen's question, he was excited: "Your Highness, Lan Yu did not control his subordinates well, and he should be severely punished." ”

"Okay, Lan Yu, if the grain in your military camp is stolen, you sent a military judge to investigate, and your subordinates have sent him back, saying that he has worked hard and made a small advantage, what's wrong? What would you do? ”

"I," Lan Yu finally understood the meaning of Zhu Yunwen's question, and her face began to turn pale, but she had to nod: "This is also a killing." ”

"Then what crime should you be guilty of expelling the investigation of the imperial history?"

"Your Highness, the last general is also guilty of conniving at his subordinates."

"But I heard that it was Lan Fu, the housekeeper of your mansion, who expelled and supervised the imperial history, and he is still a housekeeper in your mansion."

Lan Yu and Zhan Wei were stunned, staring at Zhu Yunwen's young face tightly, this was a few years ago, how could Zhu Yunwen come with his mouth open? In fact, Zhu Yunwen has paid close attention to the past of the public waiting for this period of time, and even called the treasury files of Jinyiwei, and he already knows these things well, and today these homework are finally used.

"Your Highness, the last general will mistakenly trust his subordinates, and he must be strictly controlled."

Zhu Yunwen smiled, looked at Zhan Wei and said, "Zhan Shangshu, what do you think of this?" ”

"Lan Yu does not obey the law and should be severely punished."

Zhu Yunwen smiled softly: "Zhan Shangshu is really a mountain of law enforcement, Gu admires, Lan Yu, what else do you have to say?" ”

Lan Yu stared at Zhan Wei, as if she wanted to say something, but didn't say anything.

At this moment, some voices came from outside the hall, Zhu Yunwen glanced at Wu Sheng, and Wu Sheng hurriedly ran out of the hall. After a while, Jiang Xuan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, walked in, and Geng Xuan and Wu Sheng walked in after him. Jiang Xuan knelt down on one knee in front of Zhu Yunwen as if he hadn't seen Lan Yu kneeling in the hall: "The lowly official has searched the Lan Yu Mansion, although the search has not been completely completed, but some evidence of Lan Yu's rebellion has been found, so I hurriedly sent it to His Royal Highness." As he spoke, he handed a book to Wu Sheng, who took it and handed it to Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen flipped through it and asked, "Has this report been reported to the imperial grandfather?" ”

"The last general has already told the emperor, and the emperor took a look at it and asked me to send it here, and said that all the materials must be sent here first, and then to the Qianqing Palace."

"Well, Lone understands, where are these confiscated things?"

"The lowly post has been transported to the door, and if Your Highness wants to see it, I will let people move in."

"No need, there are a lot of things, let's go out and have a look, Zhan Shangshu and General Lan, let's go out and have a look together."

The group walked out of the lobby and came to the courtyard of Jinyiwei, where there were piles of large wooden boxes, divided into three piles, and the yard was stuffed full. Zhu Yunwen looked back at Zhan Wei and Lan Yu: "Two adults, let's take a look." Jiang Xuan, you put things out. ”

Jiang Xuan called a brocade guard Qianhu, asked people to open the box, and took out a steel knife from a box, now that the weather has brightened, it can be seen that the steel knife is open, extremely sharp, and flashes with a cold light in the sun. Jiang Xuan handed the knife to Wu Sheng, Wu Sheng took it and handed it to Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunwen took it and held a knife in his hand: "This knife is good, General Lan, is it from your house?" ”

Lan Yu seemed to have settled down on these boxes from the moment he saw them, so he didn't hesitate and replied, "Yes, it's from the last general's mansion." ”

Zhu Yunwen glanced at Lan Yu and shook his head gently: "Jiang Xuan, how many steel knives are there?" ”

Jiang Zhen replied in a loud voice: "Your Highness, these steel knives have been counted, and there are a total of thirteen thousand five hundred and sixty-four. ”

"What about the other things? Let's open it all and take a look. ”

The brocade guard opened the box, took out the things and put them on the ground, and kept counting: "One hundred and twenty-three pairs of armor, fifteen pairs of heavy armor, one hundred and fifteen strong bows, fifteen thousand three hundred arrows, and thirty-five shields." There are also forty military horses, which are still in Lanyu's mansion. ”

The people in the courtyard not only gasped, so many ordnance can equip a small army, and if a team of several hundred people in the capital is taken by surprise, it is enough to cause a catastrophe.

Zhu Yunwen looked at the ordnance in the courtyard, then glanced at the people in the courtyard, paused on Geng Xuan, Geng Xuan nodded, Zhu Yunwen sneered: "General Lan, have these ordnance wronged you?" ”

Lan Yu gritted his teeth and said, "The last general dares to act, it is indeed the last general's mansion." ”

Zhu Yunwen took a closer look at Lan Yu: "General Lan, it's really an eye-opener for Gu, Jiang Xuan, register these things and make a decision, and then make a decision after Gu Yu reports to His Majesty." After a pause: "Someone, take off Lan Yu's crown robe and bring it to the lobby." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Several brocade guards rushed over to rip off Lan Yu's crown clothes, and Lan Yu was also very cooperative.

Everyone returned to the lobby and took their seats. Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth and said, "Zhan Shangshu, what do you think?" ”

Zhan Wei stood up and arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, Lan Yu rebelled, the evidence is conclusive, please report to the emperor and punish Lan Yuming." ”

Lan Yu sneered, and was about to speak, when a guard outside the hall walked in, Wu Sheng walked over and asked, "What's the matter?" The guard whispered a few words, Wu Sheng turned around, held a book in his hand, and handed it to Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Yunwen flipped through and looked around the audience: "Jinyiwei knows that Song Zhong has come back from General Lan's manor, and he has made a big gain, let General Song come in and read out these gains." ”

After a while, Jin Yiwei and Song Zhong walked in, he was about forty years old, his face was full of righteousness, Zhu Yunwen not only shook his head secretly, this is not suitable for being a spy. Song Zhong knelt down on one knee, took the book, faced Zhu Yunwen, and read it.

"When the lowly marshal Yulin Zuowei arrived at the manor of Liangguo Gong outside the city, the people in the manor were caught off guard and quickly attacked the manor. There were about 200 murderers in it, extremely brave, although they did not have time to put on their armor, but there were bows and arrows, and our army killed 35 people, the other side died 51 people, and the rest were captured. After searching, the manor had 223 war horses, of which 157 were military horses from other guards. There are also a large number of bows and arrows, steel knives and shields, which are being counted, and the lowly ones are coming to report to Your Majesty and Your Highness. When the inventory is completed, there will be updated information. ”

Zhu Yun shook his head: "General Song has worked hard, let's listen to it on the side." ”

"Your Highness Xie, you are not tired of your humble duties."

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and slapped the shocked wood: "Lan Yu, what else do you have to say?" ”

Lan Yu closed his eyes, it's over, it's all over, Lan Yu found that he was not Zhu Yuanzhang's opponent at all, he planned for many days, Zhu Yuanzhang solved it with a wave of his hand, although he was old, he was still a tiger, and he was still crunchy when he ate people, and he was not soft.

Lan Yu couldn't help laughing in despair: "Your Highness, the last general fought on the battlefield for decades for the sake of the birth and death of the Ming Dynasty, and won the country for your Zhu family, how do you treat us, isn't it just to break the Xifeng Pass at night?" Isn't it just occupying the people's land and driving away a few imperial histories that bite people everywhere? It is also said that I appoint private individuals in the army and force private concubines, can my credit not be worth these problems? I didn't have any objection at first, I was also very satisfied, the emperor was really not bad for me, but after the death of the prince, His Royal Highness succeeded the imperial grandson, I began to be afraid, I was really scared, I have led the army for many years, and the guards of the whole country, especially the guards of the Beijing Division, have my subordinates, I am afraid that the emperor will doubt me, I really don't want to be opposed, but I have to be opposed. Your Highness, are you saying I'm wrong? If you don't, you're dead, and if you don't, you're dead. So Lao Tzu simply reversed, this time I lost, I accepted my fate. Your Highness, hahahahahaha......".

The hall echoed with Blue Jade's wild laughter, and everyone fell silent. Zhu Yunwen looked at Lan Yu, shook his head, and patted the stunned wood: "Lan Yu, you have to remember that the merit cannot be overcome, your merits have already been rewarded by the court, you are a prince of the country, a very popular minister, you feel unfair, you can complain, but why are you so presumptuous?" Is it to show your privilege or to show your dissatisfaction, isn't that the way to die? Lone told you that if it weren't for that much credit, you would have died a long time ago. ”

Lan Yu was silent, and said after a while: "Your Highness, I won't say anything, I confessed to the rebellion, and I confessed to whatever crime you said." ”

"Then tell me about your comrades."

"Your Highness, I don't have a comrade, I did it alone."

Zhu Yunwen chuckled: "Zhan Shangshu, Lan Yu doesn't move, what do you think we should do?" ”

Zhan Wei arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, it's easy, just serve the big punishment." He turned around and shouted at Lan Yu: "Lan Yu, your sins are unforgivable, hurry up and confess, don't bite others casually." ”

Lan Yu sneered: "Zhan Wei is my comrade, and we are plotting to rebel together." ”

Everyone was shocked.

Zhu Yunwen glanced at Zhan Wei: "Zhan Shangshu, you also rebelled?" ”

Zhan Wei waved his hands and said, "I didn't, Your Highness, I really didn't." ”

"Hehe, left and right, take Zhan Wei down, strip off his official uniform, serve the torture, and chase out the same party."

Lan Yu didn't use the punishment. Zhan Wei recruited without much torture, Jinyiwei took people according to the roster, and for a while, the sound of Jinyiwei's horses' hooves sounded throughout the streets of Jingshi, and Jinyiwei's edict immediately became overcrowded, and some people were even directly detained in the compound.

tossed until the evening, Zhu Yunwen was also tired, asked people to write the chapter, let Jiang Zhen continue to interrogate and arrest people, let Wu Sheng watch here, and take Changfu, Geng Xuan, Guo Jian back and Zhu Yuanzhang to restore his life.
