Zhao Zhiying looked at the man who was stopped by the public and asked, "Who is in the hall, why did you trespass into the court?" At this time, everyone looked at the man. Looking at his early fifties, wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and forehead, gray hair, and a somewhat dirty coarse cloth clothes, he could see that life was not satisfactory. He is not tall, only in his early sixties, and his appearance is loyal and honest, but now he looks at Liu Xuan with anger, which is a little hideous.

The man listened to Zhao Zhiying's question, turned his head, looked at Zhao Zhiying, and his voice was a little choked, "My lord, Caomin is the former housekeeper of the Liu family in Hangzhou, Li Yuanfu." This is to sue the Hangzhou Liu family for misdeeds, and this burden in the hands of the grass people is the evidence. ”

Zhao Zhiying's eyes suddenly brightened, and then he said calmly, "Since that's the case, then you can come in." The two dukes who blocked the road stepped back and let Li Yuanfu in.

Liu Chengwen, who was sitting on the side, had a slightly gloomy face, and arched his hand at Zhao Zhiying and said, "Lord Zhao, this person is indeed the housekeeper of my Liu family. ”

Hitting the board is not as simple as beating the palm of the hand with a small bamboo stick, maybe the thirty big boards will die before they are finished. As soon as Liu Chengwen's voice fell, Zhao Zhiying's figure couldn't help but be stunned.

"Slow, since Li Yuanfu has been driven out of Liufu, it has nothing to do with Liufu, so it can't be said that a slave sues the master." Zhu Houwei reacted immediately.

Zhao Zhiying looked at Liu Chengwen, whose face was even more gloomy, and then looked at Li Yuanfu, who was already kneeling on the ground, and said, "What evidence do you have, take it out." ”

Li Yuanfu raised his head, then handed over the burden around him to the master who came to get it, and explained in his mouth, "My lord, the grass people have been slaves in the Liu family for generations, and the grass people have also served the Liu family for thirty-two years, and some of the secrets of the Liu family also know a rough idea. In this baggage are some account books and letters, recording the silver taels that the Liu family transferred to the killer organization Xingxinglou, as well as the Liu family's private weapons in Hangzhou, Xuzhou and other places to sell to pirates, among which there is a pirate built by the Liu family. The letter of the Liu family's plot to assassinate the royal family is also among them, and the adults are also asked to learn and bring the Liu family to justice. As he spoke, tears flowed from his eyes, and his head slammed three times on the ground.

The people and scholars who were hearing the trial outside the hall were in an uproar, and no one thought that the former butler would tell such a powerful news. The assassination of the royal family shows that it has not yet been decided whether to kill Zhu Houzhao or Zhu Houwei, and this assassination is estimated to have been decided slowly when it arrived in the capital. As for pirates, the coastal areas of Daming have always been invaded by pirates, and no matter how much the officers and soldiers encircle and suppress, it is useless. If what Li Yuanfu said is true, then when this happens, in addition to the weak strength of the official army, there are also these pirates who were originally formed by some people themselves, and with the personnel to report the news and support the supply, it is no wonder that they will come and go without a trace.

Liu Chengwen stood up, flicked his sleeves, and snorted coldly, "What nonsense." And Liu Xuan said with a calm face, "My lord, this Li Yuanfu was kicked out of the gate by my Liu family, holding a grudge, fabricating evidence, and hoping that my lord will learn from it." ”

Li Yuanfu suddenly turned his head to look at Liu Xuan, and shouted, "Liu Xuan, you are a beast with a beast heart, today you will either die or I will live." I want justice for my two daughters. ”

Zhao Zhiying was looking through the account books and letters, looking at his surprised face, with a slight cold sweat on his face, Zhu Houwei knew in his heart that if Li Yuanfu really poked out the pirate matter, then this would become the biggest scandal since the opening of the Ming Dynasty, and the consequences would have too great an impact. The elite class of the Ming Dynasty actually formed pirates, let them go ashore to burn and loot, and then leave calmly, and these elites are responsible for selling the stolen goods and earning money. You must know that the little prince of the north is waiting for the army, committed to the unification of the north, once the opportunity to invade on a large scale, even if the splicing is large, the population is large and the current high-tech weapons drive the enemy back, then the Ming will also be greatly damaged.

Zhu Houwei pulled Zhu Houzhao's sleeve and angrily snorted at Li Yuanfu, Zhu Houzhao said knowingly, "Li Yuanfu, if you have any grievances, Zhao Fuyin and the palace will definitely find out the truth and ask for justice for you." ”

Li Yuanfu turned his head, only then did he see the two brothers in crown robes, he was taken aback, and hurriedly turned his head and saluted, "Grass people Li Yuanfu, see the two highnesses." "If you call yourself the palace and wear a red dragon robe (the prince and the prince are both four-clawed dragon robes), then the prince must have not run away.

"Alright, you can talk about it." Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly. Only then did Li Yuanfu talk about the causes and consequences of his expulsion from the Liu family.

Li Yuanfu worked as an errand in the Liu family very early, and because of his serious and down-to-earth work, he became the housekeeper of the base camp Hangzhou step by step. Now he is less than fifty, and he has no children under his knees, only two daughters. After giving birth to his second daughter, his wife passed away, and he never remarried, and his two daughters were also raised by him. The eldest daughter got married very early, and although she married an ordinary farmer, she lived a happy life. The youngest daughter has outstanding appearance and gentle personality, so she was admitted to the room by Liu Xuan and became a concubine. As a result, Li Yuanfu also gained greater trust from the main family and participated in some confidential matters.

A year ago, when his youngest daughter was sick, Li Yuanfu brought his eldest daughter to visit, but he didn't expect a tragedy to happen. Liu Xuan saw Li Yuanfu's eldest daughter, but he didn't expect that she was already in her early thirties, and the eldest daughter who gave birth to two children did not become a yellow-faced woman, but had a fair complexion and an outstanding figure, and suddenly fell into Liu Xuan's eyes. Li Yuanfu didn't stay long, he talked for a while and left, the eldest daughter stayed to take care of her sister with Liu Xuan's permission, anyway, Liu Xuan had a total of one wife and four concubines, and she didn't stay here every day. As a result, five days later, the eldest daughter's husband's family came to find someone, and Li Yuanfu and the younger daughter thought that they had been sent away by the descendants of the Liu family. So the search began, and the body of the eldest daughter was found in a mass grave.

Li Yuanfu thought that something was wrong, so he began to inquire around Liu's house, got some clues from the mouths of his subordinates, and then secretly searched, and finally found witnesses, and saw a woman being forcibly stuffed into a carriage at night and sent to a courtyard, and this courtyard was Liu Xuan's.

Although Li Yuanfu had inquired very carefully, he still did not escape the detection of the Liu family. Then the youngest daughter died of a violent illness, this little illness has basically been cured, how could she die suddenly? Li Yuanfu also began to have more eyes, and sure enough, a few days later, a group of black-clothed people entered Li Yuanfu's house, and Li Yuanfu escaped with some of the means arranged before, but the Liu family still sent people to chase and kill. escaped and chased, and it was not over until he reached Xuzhou, Li Yuanfu met a group of people and was rescued. As for who saved it, Li Yuanfu passed it off. So Li Yuanfu prepared to take revenge, and he prepared a few days ago to hide some of the secret documents of the Liu family, and now he wants to get these things back. After going around and around, it was successfully taken out for nearly half a year.

In the document, many officials in Hangzhou and Nanjing have an inseparable relationship with the Liu family, so they went to the capital to sue the royal court, and heard that Liu Xuan was being tried, so he rushed to the court non-stop.

After Li Yuanfu finished speaking, the people outside the hall began to talk in a whisper, and the eyes that looked at Liu Xuan and Liu Chengwen did not have that kind of trust and sympathy. What's more, everyone has linked Dong Yuxiang's matter, the victims are all women in their thirties, and they all happened to Liu Xuan, it would be too reluctant to say that they were all coincidences.

After Liu Chengwen listened, his face pretended to be very calm, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he could feel that he was trying to suppress his emotions. Liu Xuan's demeanor also changed a little, his waist was not as straight as before, and his face was flat but he didn't look at anyone.

Zhao Zhiying had already finished reading a small part of the Liu family's secrets, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and when she came back to her senses and looked at the hall, she unconsciously wiped the cold sweat on her forehead with her sleeve. In addition to what Li Yuanfu said, Jiangnan officials accepted bribes from the Liu family to help the Liu family achieve their goals, and at a cursory glance, it covered most of the officials in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

After settling down, Zhao Zhiying swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "This evidence still needs to be verified, so let's go here today." Bring the prisoner back to his cell. As soon as the words fell, Li Yuanfu cried out sadly, "My lord." Zhao Zhiying remembered something and continued, "By the way, put Liu Chengwen in prison and wait for the evidence to be verified before the trial." ”

"What, Zhao Zhiying, how dare you? This official is a member of the three grades, how dare you say that this official is in prison, and this official wants to impeach you. ”

"Yo, it's a big official. Lord Zhao, you said that I should be considered a few grades, can I be bigger than him? Zhu Houzhao smiled very naughtily, and the key witnesses sent at the critical moment made him feel good.

Zhao Zhiying is also a person who can do things, and said with a smile, "Your Highness said that you are laughing." Your Highness is the prince of the country, under one person, above ten thousand, and all the officials of the court are under you. ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Well, as for the face saint, the palace will go to the meeting." Does Liu Shilang have anything to say that this palace needs to help you bring? Liu Chengwen's eyes widened and he was stunned for a moment.

Zhu Houwei was also in a good mood, looking at Liu Xuan with a smile, but Liu Xuan also smiled and looked at him, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, but it was more a pity, a pity for Zhu Houwei, which made Zhu Houwei not very good.

The Shuntianfu Yamen soon regained calm, and the people and scholars also returned to their respective homes, but there have been a lot more conversations recently. Zhao Zhiying and the two brothers went to the palace to face the saint together, and with the guards, these evidences could arrive safely. What hole cards the Liu family or the forces represented by the Liu family still have in the capital, Zhu Houzhao and others don't know, and being careful is the most important thing.
