"Father, a happy event, a great happy event!" The young man in armor went straight to Zhang He's side, and the joy on his face was overflowing, "Father, you go out of the house with the child to greet ......."

"Wang Qingshan, are you doing this?" Zhang He didn't speak, but Zhang Ruohan stood up, and scolded with anger on his pretty face: "My cousin died innocently and tragically, and his bones are not cold, Brother Shan, you are so happy, you are worthy of your cousin, worthy of your father, and worthy of the good my Zhang family has treated you all these years?" ”

There were other people in the mourning hall, and the expressions on their faces were not much better, and they all looked at Wang Qingshan angrily, as if they were looking at the enemy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It turned out that this person was Wang Qingshan, that is, Zhang He's righteous son, the commander of Jiadingwei!

"Hey, look at me!" Seeing everyone's expressions of hatred and hatred, Wang Qingshan suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly explained: "Father, the matter of Gavlidru bullying my Zhang family and killing my Zhang clan on the street has already been written and sent to Nanjing. Now that the Lord has sent His Royal Highness King Han to Jiading to investigate this matter thoroughly, now His Royal Highness the King Han is outside the gate of our mansion, let's hurry up and welcome His Royal Highness King Han in! ”

"Huh? Aoyama, what did you say? ”

"His Royal Highness King Han, His Royal Highness King Han is actually here!"

Knowing that he had misunderstood Wang Qingshan's Zhang family, while feeling ashamed, he also couldn't believe Wang Qingshan's words, His Royal Highness King Han, that is a big man from above, come back to Jiading?

"Father, what's wrong with you?" Wang Qingshan pulled Zhang He's sleeve and found that his father was still in a daze, and suddenly said with a little crying and laughing: "Father, you can't let His Royal Highness King Han wait outside for two hours, right?" ”

"Huh? Yes, yes, yes! Zhang He finally reacted, stood up from the ground tremblingly, and said, "Hurry up, hurry up and follow me to the gate of the mansion and welcome His Royal Highness King Han in." ”

So, a large group of Zhang family members walked towards the gate of the mansion.

……

Outside Zhang's Mansion, Zhu Song, Huang San, Han Xing, and Leng Yue were quietly waiting at the gate, and not far from them, there were Jinyi guards and Han Wang's Mansion guards guarding them.

As for Mu Su, the whole four. Chuan Cheng announced a major change of officialdom in the political envoy department, and after hurriedly dealing with the affairs of Jiading Mansion, he rushed to the fourth with seventy brocade guards. Other prefectures and towns in Sichuan.

"Old decay Zhang He, I have seen His Royal Highness King Han!" At this time, everyone in the Zhang family also came out of the mansion, and Wang Qingshan had pointed out Zhu Song's identity to everyone, so Zhang He directly greeted Zhu Song as soon as he came out.

Zhu Song hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help Zhang He, and said, "Old Earl Zhang, you don't have to be so polite!" You are the hero of my Ming Dynasty, but you never wanted to be humiliated by the prince of Fanbang, you suffered! ”

Don't look at these two short sentences, but I heard Zhang He cry for a while.

"Old, old and ashamed!" Zhang He's old tears flowed, "old and decaying......"

"Old Earl Zhang is vain!" Zhu Song interrupted Zhang He and said, "A few days ago, your nephew Zhang Luyi was brutally killed by gangsters for the way of filial piety. Old Earl Zhang, this king has a reluctant invitation, this king admires Brother Zhang's filial piety, and wants to put a stick of incense on Brother Zhang, and worship Brother Zhang, I don't know if it is possible? ”

"Your Highness is benevolent and righteous, how can you refuse to be old?" Zhang He shook his head again and again, and stretched out his hand to lead the mansion.

While chatting, the two people walked in the direction of the mourning hall, and went straight into the mourning hall, Zhu Song took the incense and lit it, and bowed, and said: "Brother Zhang, Song is the most loyal and filial piety person in this life, Brother Zhang is the way of filial piety, not afraid of power, and does not hesitate to go to the place of the wicked people in Fanbang to make a risk, so that he was killed!" Brother Zhang, don't worry, I will bring the person who killed you to justice, and give Brother Zhang justice! ”

When the words landed, Zhu Song took two steps forward and inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner.

Huang San, Han Xing, and Cold Moon also did the same, and everyone put on a stick of incense and worshipped.

After the worship was over, Zhang He, as the master, led Zhu Song and them to the side hall next door.

Because Zhang's mansion is holding a funeral, it is a little too simple for Zhang He to entertain Zhu Song and others, but for Zhu Song, Zhang He lost his nephew, and he is in a sad mood at the moment, and he can hold back his grief and come to entertain them, and he is also a person with a firm heart.

"Elder Zhang, this king has already understood everything about what happened in your house." Zhu Song sat on the chair, "Today, this king has put all the people involved in the case in Jiading Prison, and in three days, a public trial meeting will be held, and then the trial will be held in court!" Elder Zhang, don't worry, this king will not let Brother Zhang die unjustly! ”

A hint of surprise appeared on Zhang He's face first, and then he thought of the deceased Zhang Luyi, and the surprise was immediately hidden: "His Royal Highness Xie avenged the nephew of the old man, the old bone of the old man cannot be repaid, if His Royal Highness King Han has any orders, even if the old man fights for this old life, he will repay the kindness of His Royal Highness King Han!" ”

"Elder Zhang's words are wrong." Seeing the sadness on Zhang He's face, Zhu Song said: "Speaking of which, this is still the fault of my imperial court, if it weren't for the fact that my imperial court sent a large army to follow the mission of the Boni Kingdom, how could such a disaster occur?" ”

"Old decay is terrified!" Zhang He stood up, bowed to Zhu Song and said, "The old man is just a bad old man who is useless to the country, how can he be worthy of such a tautology from His Highness?" The old man has been eating the money of the court all his life, but he has never made any contribution to the court, His Royal Highness is so repetitive, it is really a torture for the old and the old! ”

"Zhang Lao deserves it!" Zhu Song stepped forward to help Zhang He and said: "When Zhang Lao sweated and bled for my Ming Dynasty, this king was not even born yet, it can be said that this king grew up listening to the stories of your Qing family. ”

"Your Royal Highness......" Zhang He was dumbfounded, and at the same time he was very moved in his heart, in his early years, he was just a personal guard of Hong Wuye, and it was also his duty to be an arrow for Hong Wuye, but after Hong Wuye ascended the throne, he was given a rich reward, and even rewarded him with the position of an earl, what a great grace!

Now, his nephew was killed, and the court actually sent someone down to investigate, and he is still His Royal Highness King Han, this kind of attention, this feeling that he has not worked for the court in vain in this life, makes Zhang He die for the court now It is worth it!

"Elder Zhang, there is no need to say such things in the future." Zhu Song helped Zhang He to the chair and said, "There is one more thing, this king wants to trouble Zhang Lao, I don't know if Zhang Lao is willing to help this king?" ”

"The old man is willing!" Zhang He's eyes showed a determined look, "What is the matter with the prince, even if you tell the old decay!" ”

"Okay, this king will thank Zhang Lao!" Zhu Song was immediately happy and began to assign tasks for Zhang He.

……

In the afternoon of the same day, a news came out of the market that Zhang Bo, the prefect of Jiading, Gao Lan, Tongjuan, Miao, and Jiading were the commanders of Niu Gao...... More than a dozen civil and military officials of Jiading Prefecture accepted various bribes from the king of Boni, Manaja Gananai, to cover up Gavridru's brutal murder of Zhang Luyi.

Like a plague, the news soon spread throughout the counties and townships under the rule of Jiading Prefecture, and almost all the people were talking about it, although the concept of 'no officials and no corruption' had been deeply implanted in their hearts, but such a large-scale acceptance of bribes still shocked the hearts of the people.

In the east city of Jiading Fu, which is also the most prosperous square in Jiading Fucheng, a large group of soldiers, under the command of several craftsmen dressed as people, are hurriedly building a platform, Zhu Song and Huang San stand on the edge of the square, occasionally shouting two voices, and put forward their own suggestions to those craftsmen.

"Your Highness, it's not good, it's not good!" At this time, Wang Qingshan, who had not been affected, rushed over.

Zhu Song turned his head to look at it, and suddenly laughed: "Hehe, it turned out to be Qingshan." Hey, why is your face so ugly? Isn't it what happened in the city? ”

"Lord Wang, something big has happened!" Wang Qingshan had a gloomy face and said: "The last general received the news, the streets and alleys in the city are talking about Zhang Bo and others taking bribes, this matter has been happening since last night, but it has happened for four hours, why has it spread throughout the entire Jiading Mansion?" ”

According to Wang Qingshan's understanding, this matter must have been spread by people inside, and this matter is in the way of the imperial court, if it is not handled well, it will make the people lose confidence in the imperial court!

After all, there are only so many high-level officials in a prefecture city, and more than half of the people have been corrupted, judging from the point of view, Jiading Mansion is still like this, and other prefectures and cities and even other government envoys, how good can they be?

"This king already knew about it." Zhu Song waved his hand, the expression on his face was very indifferent.

"You know?" Wang Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and said anxiously: "Your Highness, since you know, why are you still acting so bland?" ”

Zhu Song looked at Wang Qingshan with some amusement and said, "Because this matter is exactly what this king asked Zhang Lao to pass on." ”

"What?" Wang Qingshan became anxious when he heard this, "Your Highness, you are confused!" Such a large-scale corruption case can be said to have completely lost the face of my Ming officials and lost the face of the court, you let your father publicize this matter, not to put the face of the court on the face, let the people throw off their hands and smoke ......"

"Commander of the King!" Before Wang Qingshan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Huang San, who was standing beside Zhu Song, "You have gone a little too far!" ”

It's one thing to know something, it's another thing to say it.

"Your Highness, it's the last general Meng Lang, please forgive your sins!" Hearing Huang San's scolding, Wang Qingshan's breath was suffocated, and he finally came back to his senses, and while breaking out in a cold sweat, he hurriedly asked Zhu Song for his guilt.

"It's okay, this king is not so careful!" Zhu Song smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Qingshan, this king is actually protecting my face by doing this!" ”

Wang Qingshan frowned and said, "What does the prince mean by this?" ”

"In two days, this king will hold a public trial here, and at that time, Zhang Bo, He Miao and other officials who have taken bribes will all be tried." Zhu Song pointed to the high platform in front of him and continued: "Judged by the people, in front of the people, this king sentenced these corrupt officials, do you say the people will not believe in the court?" ”

"But ......" Wang Qingshan thought for a while and said: "According to my Da Ming law, all officials above the fifth grade are convicted, and they need to be written by the Metropolitan Procuratorate to the Long Live Lord, and after being verified by the Long Live Lord, the Holy Decree will be issued in the Dali Temple, and the ...... will be issued."

"Alright, alright, this king knows what you mean." Zhu Song waved his hand again and again, and said: "Before this king came to Jiading, he had already asked for a decree from the Lord of Long Live. The king has the right to deal with all the affairs of Sichuan. ”

When he said this, Zhu Song added: "I forgot to tell you that this time the king doesn't want one or two lives, after so many officials are killed, many official positions in Jiading Mansion will be vacant, and then it will depend on your recommendation!" But don't blame this king for not reminding you, the virtuous don't shy away from kissing! ”

"This ......" Wang Qingshan touched his chin, and was shocked by Zhu Song's words, he didn't expect Zhu Song to make such a big determination, and actually killed these prisoners on the street to save the people's confidence in the court.

"Okay, if you have something to do, you can go first, and the king will command the soldiers to build the high platform." Zhu Song saw that Wang Qingshan had something on his mind, and directly waved his hand to send him away.

"The last will retire!" In one night, he arrested so many officials, and even killed two disobedient Jiading Wei Baihu, and now there are still many things to deal with in the city, he is naturally a busy man!

……

Three days passed in a flash, and the corruption of Jiading officials continued to ferment, this time not only in the streets and alleys, but even the children in the city knew what was going on.

In the early morning of the fourth day, the sun had just risen in the sky, and some people were beating gongs and drums all over the alley and shouting: "Today, the prince of Han personally tried the case of Jiading officials and Dingfanbang's brutal murder of Zhang Gongzi, if you have time, go to the trial platform in Dongshi Square to see the excitement!" Today's King Han personally judged Jia ......"

Well, it roared over and over again, almost breaking the sky in Jiading Mansion City!

"What, what? Today, His Royal Highness King Han wants to try that Fanbang person? ”

"Hurry up, hurry up, what are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and go to the square to see the excitement! ”

"Hey, Brother Lin, you go first, occupy a place with Brother Fang, and go to Brother Fang now!"

The people who had just gotten up, or were still asleep, were all in the frying pot, and they didn't even eat breakfast, so they called friends one by one and ran in the direction of Fuchengdong City Square, for fear that they would be late and there would be no place.

On the square of Fucheng East City, the high platform that has been built in a hurry in the past few days has finally taken shape.

The high platform is enough to leave the ground with a zhang or so, the lower head is supported by a hard log, the area is enough to see that there are one hundred and twenty or thirty square meters, the high platform is just east, there is a large umbrella that shades the sun, under the umbrella is several long tables, on the long table is pen, ink, paper, inkstone, shocking wood and arrows.

Around the high platform, a hundred heavily armed Jiading guards guarded with cold faces.

Zhu Song sat on the main seat, and Huang San was still like a shadow, standing behind Zhu Song, guarding his safety.

Behind the two tables on the left, sat Cold Star and Cold Moon; The two tables on the right are sitting Wang Qingshan and the old Earl Zhang He.
