Since Zhu Wang received his son's letter, he had a plan in his heart. She wants to persuade her daughter-in-law to take her grandchildren and go to a relative's house to hide!

At first, the daughter-in-law resolutely disagreed, but later considered that in order to continue the Zhu family's fireworks, she reluctantly agreed.

Zhu Wangshi again: "Children, there must always be someone in the family." I'm not afraid when I'm old. They're going to kill me, so I'm going to find your husband. ”

The daughter-in-law cried and said, "Mother, I'm not afraid. I also stayed. ”

"Jing Hu said, children are the roots of our Niu family! They can't live without you and need you. Don't fight with your mother. ”

The daughter-in-law really had no choice but to agree to take the children and leave.

One day not long after, Zhu's mansion was surrounded by officials and troops, and all the people of the Zhu family were arrested. The house was also sealed.

When the old lady was pushed into the cell, she saw that her daughter-in-law and grandchildren were there.

The old lady shouted like crazy, "Let them all go." The son was born to the mother, and the son broke the law for the mother to die for the son. Leave them all alone!"

From then on, the old lady stopped eating. She said, "If I don't let my children go, I'll starve myself."

When the White Lady came, she said, "Old lady, your son is too ruthless. Ignoring the comfort of the old lady, daughter-in-law, and children, he did something against the court. You are the mother of sinners, and I heard that you want to starve to death, and I think you will starve to death!"

"No, my son is a hero who saved the country and the people. You have been unconscionable to him in this way. ”

When the white lady saw it, the old lady's family was stubborn. She didn't bother to pay attention to her, and walked away.

In the early morning of this day, the king sat down and said, "Where is the seal?"

One of the ministers took a step forward and said, "The master died last night. ”

"I heard that he was to death. The minister added.

"Ah, who is so bold?" the king asked.

The minister didn't dare to speak out. The minister said this on purpose. The minister didn't dare to speak out. "Because Uncle Guo was killed by Lord Zhu Zihan, he died of anger. ”

"Ah, why don't you tell me about such a big thing? It's so damn damned?"

The king was furious, he was going to kill someone. Just about to make an order. At this time, someone sent a secret letter. The king took the letter, and when he read it, his brow furrowed.

The king knew that Bai Shangxiong was doing too outrageous, and Zhu Zihan killed Bai Shangxiong to uphold justice, and he was a little angry. However, he felt that Zhu Zihan was too bold and dared to kill Uncle Guo, which was too excessive and too damaging to my face.

killed, he felt that Bai Shangxiong was destroying my society by doing this, and Zhu Zihan killing him was beneficial to my society. Can't kill, he hesitated.

When the king read the last sentence of the letter, the king had an idea.

The letter reads: "Do you want Bai Shangxiong, my lord, or do you want the country?" and you want to kill the ministers, and the ministers' lives can be taken at any time. It is necessary for the ministers of the country to be killed. The king will see what to do!"

When the king saw this, he ran out of breath. The king knew that Zhu Zihan had killed Bai Shangxiong, and that was his duty. It is good for me to kill one hundred and make an example. There is no advantage in discarding what is used. At the moment, he is still very useful and cannot be killed.

However, I want to knock the mountain and shock the tiger, and I can't let my ministers think that my relatives can be killed casually.

So, the king pretended to be very angry and asked, "Prime Minister, can you tell me what Zhu Zihan should be guilty of?"

The prime minister said: "The king's ministers think that Lord Zhu's merits are greater than their faults. Bai Shangxiong, as a member of the country, should protect the interests of the king. But he was lawless and dominant, and a large amount of corruption and bribery sabotaged disaster relief. It should be beheaded.

However, Zhu Zihan stabilized the society and made great contributions to disaster relief and saving the people. Deficiencies: Killing the uncle of the king damages the face of the king. The merits and demerits are offset. As for the reward and punishment, it is up to the king to decide. ”

When the king heard this, he said, "I think what the prime minister said is right. However, if this matter is not dealt with in any way, it will be against the rules.

At this time, the lady saw the opportunity and said, "The king cannot let them be so arrogant. Kill whoever you want, and if you continue like this, won't it be a mess and go against the sky? Even if you don't kill it, you must at least remove it first!"

"No, disaster relief has just picked up. If you remove people, I'm afraid they will be affected.

At this time, the two sides quarreled fiercely. The king felt that both sides had a point. However, he didn't want to hear anyone, so he decided that people should use it and punish him.

The king said, "Don't fight any more." The prime minister hasn't said anything about it! The prime minister has told me about the responsibility of your recommendation!"

The prime minister has long known that his responsibility is difficult to shirk. Lord Zhu has merit and use value, and may not be in danger for the time being. It's different on your own.

He said, "King, the person I recommend is meritorious, whether I am also meritorious, and if the person I recommend is guilty, then I will accompany him to be punished." I'm done, my lord. ”

"However, I heard that someone has arrested Lord Zhu's mother, wife, and children and put them in prison, I wonder if the king knows?"

As soon as the king heard it, he knew that it must have been the White Lady who did it. He felt that this was not the right thing to do, so he said, "Is there such a thing? ”

"Prime Minister! You are such a good Prime Minister, it's a pity! You are old, it is time to go home to retire! Thank you for your support to my two generations of kings over the years, thank you. ”

The king said it politely, but in his heart it was a different attitude. If it weren't for your age, I wouldn't have been so cheap for you.

Everyone knows that the king is blaming the prime minister for doing this, and he is also knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, warning the ministers to stop nonsense!

The king straightened up and said, "Zhu Zihan is bold and reckless, ignoring the majesty of this king, and deserves to be a capital crime." For the sake of your merit, stay for the time being, and set an example. Chin this!

The prime minister was removed, but he was happy. Because Zhu Zihan is fine. Zhu Zihan's wife died of hunger strike. She fought to the death in exchange for the lives of her family, which touched people too much. On the day of the old lady's funeral, there were a lot of people who sent the funeral. The prime minister is also among them.

The big case of killing the country's uncle alarmed the imperial court and caused a sensation in Jiangnan. Bai Shangxiong's sister Bai Niangniang was very annoyed and hated when she learned about this.

Lao Dao died, and Bai Niangniang could only spill her anger on Zhu Zihan and his family. The old man Zhu is dead, but Zhu Zihan is still safe and sound!

So, she was willing to beg the king to be angry with herself and punish Zhu Zihan.

The king told her, "This brother of yours has committed too great a crime, so I can't kill Zhu Zihan for the time being." ”

The main reason why the king didn't want to kill Zhu Zihan for the time being was that he was afraid that killing someone would really affect the good situation of disaster relief in the country. As a result, Zhu Zihan was temporarily safe because he was useful.

The king obviously knew that it was Zhu Zihan who killed Bai Shangxiong to help him consolidate the country.

However, he still agreed to the White Lady's request. He said, "I don't want to kill him now, I want to keep him alive and help me get through it." When it's too peaceful, I'll find a fault, and it's not too late to kill him?"

As soon as the news of Uncle Guo's beheading by Lord Zhu spread, all the corrupt officials in the disaster area were shocked. Their misdeeds were immediately reined in, and they showed unprecedented initiative in disaster relief.

Bai Shangxiong's beheading was a great joy for the people.

Zhu Zihan used the confiscated grain to help the people. The victims were able to get relief food and have hope for their lives. People have gained confidence in disaster relief, and more people have taken part in the construction of embankments and dams.

Zhu Zihan used the confiscated money to build the embankment. With more people and more money, the progress of building embankments and dams has been greatly accelerated.

Zhu Zihan has achieved remarkable results in disaster relief and disaster management in Dong County. He decided to take a boat down the river accompanied by Zhang Dahu and Wang Xiaolong, inspect along the way, and solve problems on the spot.

Zhu Zihan stood in a small boat and went down the river. He saw that the cross-strait disaster situation was still going on, but fortunately, the situation today is much better than what he saw in the past. On the embankments of all sizes and dangers, there are people there to rush to repair.

There are fewer people fleeing the disaster, and everywhere they go, they can see people putting food and giving porridge.

The boat sailed to an embankment construction site, Zhu Zihan asked the boat to stop, and they went ashore.

There are a lot of migrant workers working here, and everyone is more energetic. Zhu Zihan came to an old migrant worker and asked. "How far is the old man from the county seat?"

"It's not far, it's only a dozen miles away. The old man kept working.

Zhu Zihan said: "You guys work very hard!"

Only then did he pause, and he carefully studied the man dressed as a merchant.

"You won't be Master Zhu of Weifu's private interview, right? ”

"That's right, our county lord is finally going to do something good. I haven't done it for years, so I'm going to make up my mind to fix it now. This is probably because he is afraid that Zhu Zihanqin will come to kill his head!" the old man said with a smile.

Another migrant worker interjected: "This opportunity is rare, we must seize the opportunity to repair it well, so that we will not be flooded every year."

Zhu Zihan asked: "Can you eat enough for such heavy work, can you eat well?"

"It's much better now, I can eat enough, I don't eat moldy food anymore, I can eat like this, we also want to thank Lord Zhu Zihan for his blessing!"

After Zhu Zihan left, the word spread on the construction site somehow, saying that Master Zhu had come to the construction site in the guise of a businessman and came to the construction site privately.

Zhu Zihan inspected all the way along the waterway and saw that the situation was basically the same. It can be seen that Zhu Zihan's killing has played a great role.

Officials everywhere are stepping up to build dikes. The construction of the embankment is also progressing faster and of better quality. The work of providing relief to the people in various localities is continuing, and in some localities the work is still relatively good.

During the catastrophe, people everywhere were dissatisfied with the government, and many people fell into the grass.

Now that the situation is better, the momentum of instability has significantly weakened. However, a small number of local governments and armies severely suppressed those who had been forced to go to the mountains to work as bandits. The consequences of the repression were a stalemate, which in turn greatly affected the social order.

Wu Chuanshui, who was transferred by Zhu Zihan to maintain social order but failed miserably, maintained social order in the area of Heifeng Mountain.

Wu Chuanshui, who has always oppressed the people, tried to eliminate the bandits in Heifeng Mountain in one fell swoop, but the cottage could not be attacked for a long time.

The owner of Heifeng Mountain, Guan Zaishan, is a bitter and bitter farmer, because of the flood, the crops are not harvested, the landlord's forced debts, and the government's harsh taxes make the Guan Zaishan family ruined, and there is really no way to go before he becomes a bandit and occupies the mountain as the king.

He pulled up a line of five or six hundred people. Kill the rich and help the poor, but never harm the village. Those corrupt officials, corrupt officials, bullies, and landlords hated them to the core, and they were afraid of them.

Wu Chuanshui came here, contrary to Zhu Zihan's original intention of sending him to maintain social order. Wu Chuanshui led 800 officers and soldiers to storm the Heifeng Mountain Cottage, and since then he and Guan Zaishan have formed a bond.

The people who are locked up in the mountains are all local people, and they are both bandits and people. They are well-informed, familiar with the terrain, and with the danger of the cottage, only a small number of people can defend the cottage.

Guan Zaishan freed up most of the people and divided them into two teams, one to harass or contain the officers and soldiers, and the other to ambush the officers and soldiers, causing Wu Chuanshui's officers and troops to suffer heavy losses, and now they have reached the point of being helpless.

Zhu Zihan learned of this situation here and ordered Wu Chuanshui to withdraw the team.

Zhu Zihan first posted a notice, informing the people that all taxes would be exempted in the year of the flood, and requiring all land leasers not to collect land rent in the year of the disaster.

The proclamation promised that all bandits would lay down their arms and return to their hometowns to farm, and that they would not be held accountable for the wrongs they had done in the past. The government also distributed relief food.

After that, Zhu Zihan wrote another letter to Guan Zaishan to appease him. In order to express his sincerity, Zhu Zihan took Zhang Dahu and Wang Xiaolong up the mountain to meet Guan Zaishan.
