"You, what do you mean?" Qi Yuan's face turned pale, "I don't understand what you're talking about." ”

"Oh, you're a dead duck." Zhu Song shrugged his shoulders and said, "If this king has to say it so clearly, this is not good, it is really bad." ”

"Are all the people in your court so vicious, so shameless?" Qi Yuan stared at Zhu Song deadly, "The rivers and lakes are the rivers and lakes, and the disaster will not affect the family, why do you have to work hard?" ”

"Hey, look at what you said, didn't this king say that it would hurt your family?" Zhu Song laughed, "Besides, this king doesn't know how many family members you have?" ”

"You ......" Qi Yuan's eyes were about to burst into flames, but he couldn't say anything.

"How? Can you have a good chat? Zhu Song leaned forward and said.

Qi Yuan was silent for a while before he said, "Whatever you want to ask, just say hello." ”

"It would have been better if it had been done earlier." Zhu Song laughed and said, "Yes, a few of you are ready to record." ”

After a pause, Zhu Song continued: "Let's talk about it, what do you think of the Bo Ni Kingdom's reward for this king? At least those wastes are single-handed, and even if they are found out by this king, they are just alone, and if they die, they will die. But you are different, your family has a big business, aren't you afraid that this king will not find out? ”

"Man dies for money, and birds die for food." Qi Yuan said coldly: "Since I dare to take on the task, it is naturally for the silver." Besides, I think I want to hide it, and you can't find out. ”

"Impossible? No way, how the are you here? Zhu Mengcan pursed his lips angrily.

Qi Yuan glared at Zhu Mengcan and them, but did not speak.

"Hey, what the are you looking at?" Zhu Mengcan's nose was crooked, who didn't care if the thing was injured, he went up and rewarded this guy fiercely, "Believe it or not, Lao Tzu killed you?" ”

"Hahaha, if you have a kind, you can kill me now." Qi Yuan, who was kicked to the ground, smeared a mouthful of blood, "But, did you do the master?" Hahaha......"

"Hey......" Zhu Mengcan is so angry, he still wants to do it.

"Meng Can!" Zhu Song called Zhu Mengcan and said, "Tell me, apart from you, how many sects in this Ming realm are already alive and are interested in taking this bounty task." Don't tell this king, you don't know anything, with the intelligence ability of your killer sect, it is far more than our court. ”

"You know us very well!" Qi Yuan grinned and said, "However, as far as I know, except for our Pifu Building, no Jianghu force dares to take on this task!" ”

When he said this, Qi Yuan added: "At least not in the north." ”

Qi Yuan's meaning is very clear, I only know the forces in the north, and I don't know anything about the things in the south.

"Good!" Zhu Song nodded, "Then, let's talk about which officials of my Ming Dynasty have sent gold, silver and jewelry, for this, you Qi Yuan should remember it very clearly, right?" After all, they are your behind-the-scenes protectors, and there will always be a time when you will need them. ”

"You don't have to ask me about that." Qi Yuan shook his head, "For the gold and silver expenses of my Puff Building, every sum of money used, there are records in my Puff Building, you only need to go to the ruins of my headquarters Puff Building to search, you can find it, why waste so many tongues?" ”

"One last thing!" Zhu Song raised his fingers, "Shandong Chengxuan's political envoy Si Wang Bu's political envoy, was he assassinated by your people in the Pifulou?" ”

"You mean Wang Ke?" Qi Yuan knew that this was, after all, the distance from Licheng to Jinan Mansion was not far, and the information exchange in Pifulou was very fast, so he knew that things were also fast, "We didn't do it." ”

"What? Do you dare to do it, but you can't admit it? "Leng Yue is gone, "You Pifu Lou robbed my Shu Zhong Tang Sect's secret weapon, one of these hidden weapons is called 'Yama Needle', if it wasn't for you to sit down in the Puppet Building, then why did Wang Bu's political envoy die under the Yama Needle?" I don't even dare to admit it, phew, it's really cowardly! ”

"Hahaha......" Listening to Leng Yue's words, Qi Yuan looked up to the sky and laughed, "I dare to admit even the murder of the prince, but it's just a political envoy who goes there, what do I dare not recognize?" ”

Zhu Song frowned and said, "Then you say, did you make this secret weapon of the Tang Sect in Shu?" ”

"It's not!" Qi Yuan shook his head.

"Impossible!" Leng Yue obviously didn't believe what Qi Yuan said, "Mountain. In the eastern area, apart from your Pifu Building, which force dares to do such a thing? ”

"That's your business." Qi Yuan sneered: "I didn't do this anyway, believe it or not." ”

"You ......" Leng Yue and Zhu Mengcan and a few other little guys still wanted to say something.

At this time, Zhu Song waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's do this first!" The rest will be left to Leng Yue, I believe that with Leng Yue's ability, he should be able to judge a lot of useful things. ”

While saying this, Zhu Song stood up and said, "Okay, Leng Yue, I'll leave it to you!" The rest of the people, go with this king! ”

……

After three days of interrogation, Qi Yuan confessed everything he knew, although there was no robbery of the Tang Gate in Shuzhong and the assassination of Wang Ke, but many previous unsolved cases still got answers from Qi Yuan.

The people who were still alive in Pifulou were all taken to the Nanjing City Edict Prison, waiting for the autumn queen to be beheaded, and a large wave of mountains. Dongcheng announced that the civil and military officials under the jurisdiction of the Political Envoy Department also fell along with the origin.

The fall of these officials is a good thing for the people, after all, the court was able to deal with these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, which proves that the court still has a great determination to rectify the rule of officials.

It's just that the only thing that makes Zhu Song regret is that the theft of the secret weapon of the Tang Gate in Shuzhong and the assassination of Wang Ke, the political envoy, have not been investigated clearly after all, and there is not even a clue.

Zhu Song didn't care, but for Leng Yue, he was still full of doubts.

After staying in Shandong again for half a month, Zhu Song directly led Zhu Mengcan and them back to Nanjing.

Half a month later, in the palace.

Zhu Di was reviewing the recital in the warm pavilion, and Zheng He's voice sounded: "Long live, His Royal Highness King Han and His Royal Highness King Zhao are back, and they are waiting outside the pavilion now." ”

"Oh? Is it finally back? Zhu Di raised his head and glanced at Zheng He, and said, "Let them in." ”

As soon as they entered the door, before Zhu Song and Zhu Gaosui had time to salute, Zhu Di greeted them directly: "Hahaha, Brother Song, you are finally back, this time, you are in Sichuan and Shandong, and the movement is not small?" ”

Zhu Song arched his hand to Zhu Di and said with a smile: "Fourth Emperor Brother, this is not about the younger brothers, it is those guys who are indiscriminate, plus the Fourth Emperor Brother gives the younger brothers the right to act cheaply, for these guys who poison the people and the prestige of the Hundred Flowers Court, the younger brother did not kill them directly, it is not bad." ”

"Okay, okay, you kid has always been unpredictable, and I don't blame you for being a brother." Zhu Di directly pressed Zhu Song on the chair and said, "How is it?" The news of your return has not been spread, right? ”

"Oh? Father, how do you know? Zhu Gaosui asked a little strangely.

"Are you stupid?" Zhu Song said angrily: "It doesn't matter if it's Jinyiwei or Dongchang, it's all a job to collect news, if you can't even do this, then the court will support them in vain." ”

"Uh...... Yes, Uncle Songhuang, you are right. Zhu Gaosui, who was scolded, laughed.

"Brother Song, what are you going to do?" Zhu Di sat on the chair, "Since the Piffle Building has been uprooted, what do you want to do next?" Could it be that you want to fight directly to the country of Boni? ”

"There's a plan, but not right now." Zhu Song nodded and shook his head again, "In the next half a year, my brother wants to purge all the Jianghu sects in our Ming Dynasty. ”

"Do you mean exterminating them all, or do you mean exterminating them all?" Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and asked.

"If you can accept them, you can directly accept them, and then change them into a separate department!" Zhu Song seems to have planned to do so, "If those who don't want to sink into the imperial court, they will be ......."

"Extinguished!" Zhu Gaosui grinned, spitting out words coldly.

"What's the matter with you, kid? Tell you, this time, I haven't bothered you yet, stay honest with me! Zhu Di glared at Zhu Gaosui angrily, and then said to Zhu Song: "Half a year, are you sure that such a short time is enough?" ”

"Fourth Emperor Brother, the younger brother didn't say it, this matter can only be done by the younger brother?" Zhu Song laughed, "Above my Ming Dynasty, there are many military generals, Gao Sui and Meng Can can be in charge alone, and they are enough to be competent to exterminate many sects this time." ”

"Really, Uncle Songhuang?" Zhu Gaosui looked at Zhu Song with a look of surprise and said.

"Don't look at me, the final decision on this matter is in the hands of your father." Zhu Song spread his hands and said.

"Huh?" Zhu Gaosui's face suddenly became bitter, and he didn't dare to touch Zhu Di's moldy head.

"Look at your useless cowardice!" Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaosui and said, "I really can't make a decision right away on this matter!" In a few days, when the court meeting is held, I will bring this matter up and ask for the advice of the hundred officials, if more than half of them agree, then we will discuss the details of this matter in detail, how about it? ”

"Done!" Zhu Song nodded directly, "Anyway, this matter can't be completed in a day or two, and the younger brother has time to wait, but I believe that they should agree." ”

"Not necessarily!" Zhu Di shook his head and said, "Okay, this matter will be discussed here first, you and my brother haven't seen each other for a while, so stay in the palace today to dine with me, Gao Sui, you also stay." ”

"Yes." Zhu Song nodded and agreed.

……

In fact, Zhu Song really guessed correctly, Zhu Song handed over this matter to Zhu Yang, and after he said this matter in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, except for a few people, almost eighty percent of people chose to support it.

As a result, the matter of purging the forces of the rivers and lakes and the sects of the rivers and lakes was put on the agenda and put on the bright side.

Because Zhu Song was secretly returning, he knew that Zhu Song was still alive and had returned to Nanjing City, that is, those who often went in and out of the Warm Pavilion.

Every evening, Zhu Song would go to the palace to meet with Zhu Di and discuss all the suggestions or rules for the day to clean up the sects and forces in the rivers and lakes.

After half a month, Zhu Di finally made a move.

In the next half a month, Zhu Di issued five holy decrees in a row:

The first holy decree is naturally to arrange Zhu Gaosui, Zhu Mengcan, and Zhu Youjiao...... The emperor's relatives, civil officials and military generals, who were capable of commanding the army, secretly went to the political envoys of each city to carry out the extermination of the forces and sects in the rivers and lakes.

The second holy decree was issued to Jinyiwei, Dongchang and the six gates, ordering the three yamen to operate at full strength, and to investigate the information of the political envoys and factions of the various undertakings and the forces of the rivers and lakes.

The third holy decree was issued to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate formed a 'Metropolitan Patrol Group', with 1,000 soldiers from the Jinyi Guard, dressed in civilian clothes, escorted along the way, and inspected the conduct and morality of the civil and military officials under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty's political envoys, and the living conditions of the people under their jurisdiction.

The fourth holy decree was issued to the Ming Dynasty to announce the political envoys, ordering the guards of the cities under the jurisdiction of the political envoys, and all the soldiers who belonged to the Ming Dynasty to wait for the battle and listen to the orders of the court at any time.

The fifth holy decree, directly issued to the Ming border passes, the army assembled, blockade the passes, during this period, do not allow the people of the state or the subject country of the Ming Dynasty to enter the customs, all the famous people, or in the Ming state people are not allowed to go out of the customs, if there is a forced pass, except for those with the emperor's order, regardless of the status of the noble, all will be killed!

The five holy decrees were issued from the city of Nanjing, and were successively sent to all parts of the Ming Dynasty.

In half a month, the Five Divine Decrees had been issued to the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Mengcan and others, who were far away in Nanjing City, had all finished resting, and went to the destination assigned to them by the emperor with their respective soldiers.

Zhu Song himself has become an idler, this guy is too thick-skinned, it is clear that the matter of encircling and suppressing the sects and forces in the Ming Dynasty was proposed by him, he is good, when Zhu Di assigned the task, he himself hid back.

In Zhu Song's own words, I have cleaned up the top strong sect in Shandong, why do you still ask me to do it? The hunter still has time to rest, and if he lets him run down, his iron body can't stand it.

I can't stand the fart, this guy is just lazy, I've been running around for two months, and it's easy to take a break, so it's weird for him to run out again.

However, it is worth mentioning that Zhu Song did not move, but his son Zhu Xuankun became a fragrant dumpling.

The little guy just proposed by himself that he wanted to follow his cousins and cousins to encircle and suppress the sects and forces in the rivers and lakes, and those princes and county kings robbed Zhu Xuankun like crazy, broke their heads one by one, and wanted Zhu Xuankun to go to their side.

In the end, the little guy followed Zhu Youjiao, after all, Zhu Youjiao is the most stable one among these small county kings, hand it over to him, Zhu Di is at ease, and Zhu Song is also at ease.
