Zhu Biao also came over and looked at Zhu Tong and said:

"Big brother! You can rest assured that your father will definitely give you this breath. ”

"You can wait for my good news here in this mother's place."

After speaking, he also left with Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the empty Qianning Palace, only Tang and father and son remained.

Tang He and his son stepped forward to salute Zhu Tong, and turned to leave without saying a word.

Outside the noon gate.

The Imperial Forest Army and the Jinyi Guards stood around, and the entire noon gate was full of people.

The weather was gloomy, goose-feather snowflakes were slamming heavily on the ground, and the roof tiles of the imperial city were gradually covered with layers of white sand.

Water was dripping on the armor of the Imperial Forest Army in front of the noon gate, and the snowflakes turned into ice water as soon as they touched it, and the hand on the handle of the knife was ready to move.

The cold gaze stared at the kneeling soldier in the center of the noon gate, like an eagle staring closely at its prey. His eyes were full of murderous intent.

The commander of the Jinyi guards was standing at the battlement of the city gate tower, looking coldly below.

The onlookers were isolated by the soldiers, and the people talked a lot.

"Isn't that the son of the Liangguo family?"

"Not to mention Liang Guogong, many sons of military generals are among them, I'm afraid that they have committed some punishment, right?"

"I'm the most domineering on weekdays, and I've finally been punished!"

"Those soldiers who committed crimes are also pitiful, so unlucky to encounter a gentleman like Lan Ba, it is inevitable to be implicated."

"What are they pitiful, they are complicit in acting for the tiger, Your Majesty should have eliminated harm for the people a long time ago."

At this time, there was a man in a yellow brocade robe standing on the tower of the city gate, with a majestic momentum, a long beard and a beautiful beard, and the envoys of the brocade guards around him immediately knelt down to greet him when he saw this person.

The yellow-robed man stared at it for a while, then disappeared on the city gate.

A moment later, a young man walked in front of the noon gate, and his apricot-colored brocade robe was sprinkled with snowflakes.

A jet-black mustache was attached to his lips.

Behind the man were dozens of royal guards, and when he walked to the noon gate, the man turned back, and bowed down respectfully to wait for someone from behind.

After a while, the man in the yellow robe just now strode forward.

At this time, the entire noon gate, the high-ranking officials, and the common people knelt on the ground and shouted:

"Long live my emperor!"

Zhu Yuanzhang had already come to the noon gate, looking at the kneeling crowd waving lightly, and everyone stood up intermittently in turn.

Lan Ba and the others kept kneeling and didn't dare to make a sound, and they didn't dare to raise their heads, and they heard people shouting long live.

In an instant, he was so frightened that he lost most of his three souls and five spirits, and he almost didn't collapse on the ground.

Thinking that this time it was going to be planted in Zhu Tong's hands, he kept praying in his heart for God to let his father come to save him.

There was white air in front of his mouth, and he was intermittent and unusually fast.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the kneeling guy at the front, stepped forward and asked:

"Boy! Whose family are you? ”

Kneeling was none other than Lan Ba, the son of blue jade.

Lan Ba trembled and said:

"I'm Lan Ba, the son of Liang Guogong."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lan Ba coldly, and only after a while did he move away, and came to Li Fangying, the son of Li Wenzhong.

Asked:

"Whose family are you?"

Li Fangying replied in horror:

"I.... I.. Daddy is Lee... Wen.. Loyalty.."

Li Fangying raised her eyelids slightly, and saw that the body wrapped in the dragon robe was particularly majestic, and her originally trembling body trembled like chaff.

I have never met my uncle and grandfather since I was born, but I didn't expect to meet in such a way today.

Although it was his uncle, he didn't dare to move in the slightest, let alone plead, which was impossible.

Zhu Yuanzhang paused for a moment and said softly:

"How did Li Wenzhong give birth to such a rabbit cub."

After that, he came to Feng Ji, the son of Feng Guosheng, and asked:

"What about you, whose family is it?"

Feng Ji was so frightened just now that he couldn't help but pee out as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang walked to him, and heard Zhu Yuanzhang's voice.

Directly crying loudly, he sat down on the ground limply, and the snow-white ground was wet in a blink of an eye, and the edges of the snow that had just melted were tingling yellow.

Like a black disc in the middle of a man lay a man.

Perhaps it was the cold that suppressed the smell in the urine, and Feng Ji lay in his own liquid without feeling at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang was the most unaccustomed to cowardly people in his life, and then shouted angrily:

"Soft eggs!"

Said that he hurriedly moved away from Feng Ji to avoid contamination.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the three of them and was not interested in continuing to ask, and then waved to Erhu.

Erhu quickly stood on the temporary wooden platform, unfolded a list and shouted:

"On the seventh day of the first month of the sixth year of Hongwu, Lan Ba led three family members and forcibly occupied ten acres of land in the east of the city!"

"On the first day of the fourth month of the sixth year of Hongwu, Lan Ba raped the daughter of the Wang family who had not left the cabinet in the west of the city, and led fifteen family members to report the case to the government, Wang Laohan beat him to death."

"On the fifteenth day of the first month of the sixth year of Hongwu, Feng Ji drunkenly killed an official of the Ministry of Industry in Dingxiang Building, and later framed him and imprisoned him."

"On the seventh day of the eighth month of the sixth year of Hongwu, Li Fangying forcibly occupied dozens of old houses of the Zhao family in the west of the city, and framed the old man surnamed Zhao to death."

"On July 21 of the sixth year of Hongwu, Li Fangying colluded with Lan Ba and set fire to the Liu family, just to take revenge on the Liu family."

......

After a while, the two tigers finished announcing what a few people had done, and the people around them were full of righteous indignation and hatred.

But the three of Lan Ba were stunned and looked at each other, they didn't expect His Majesty to know what they had committed.

And the time, place, and so on are very clear, and even some of His Majesty, who even they can't remember, remember clearly.

I didn't feel a chill behind my back, and the three of them were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground.

Quietly waiting for His Majesty's punishment, he didn't dare to say a word, and even his breathing was cautious.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the three of them and asked Erhu loudly:

"According to my Ming law, how should I deal with these three people?"

Erhu replied:

"Back to Your Majesty, these three people have committed crimes in parallel, and the crimes are extremely heinous, and they should be beheaded by law."

Zhu Yuanzhang then said:

"Then enforce the law!"

When the three of them heard this, they collapsed on the spot, and they cried for a while, completely losing their former spirits.

hurriedly begged Zhu Yuanzhang for mercy:

"Your Majesty spares your life, the guilty minister will never dare again!"

"Your Majesty, I am the only man in our family, please spare me!"

"Your Majesty, for the sake of my father's birth and death for Daming, spare me this time!"

"Your Majesty... Uncle and grandfather, spare the child! ”

"For my grandmother's sake, spare me!"

The three of you fought for me and begged Zhu Yuanzhang for mercy, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even look at them, looked at the stunned Erhu and continued:

"Execution!"

Then.

"Your Majesty! Exercise restraint! ”

"Your Majesty! Keep people under the knife! ”

An urgent shout came from outside, and the crowd on the left suddenly stirred, followed by a dozen Huaixi nobles.

pushed away the soldiers and ran towards Zhu Yuanzhang.

At the front are Lan Yu and Li Wenzhong, and Feng Guosheng.

Zhu Yuanzhang paused, and was about to say something, Tang He stepped forward to bow to Zhu Yuanzhang and said:

"Your Majesty, why don't you listen to them for a moment and see how they explain it."
