Chapter 215: On Crime

Seeing the two of them going out one after another, Zhu Chen hurriedly said, "They couldn't do anything at that time." ”

Zhu Di looked at his grandson and taught: "Boy, remember my words, powerlessness is powerlessness. ”

"An official, try his best to prevent the river embankment from collapsing, but the river embankment still collapses, so should the court punish him?"

"Could he have thought of another way to save the embankment, but he didn't?"

"Incompetence is a sin and should be punished."

Zhu Chen seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and said, "Got it." ”

It's just that he was somewhat worried that the two of them would really be killed.

Zhu Di smiled: "Okay, don't mention this, you tell me how you turned the tide in Hangzhou." ”

"Grandpa is happy to hear this."

Zhu Chen was embarrassed: "There's nothing to mention, that's it." ”

Zhu Di grinned: "You saved Hangzhou from such a big disaster and saved the entire Hangzhou, you told me that there was nothing to mention?" ”

"Okay, if you don't say it, I'll find someone to understand."

Zhu Chen changed the topic: "Old man, why did you come to Hangzhou?" ”

Zhu Di said with emotion: "The monk of Jiming Temple calculated a hexagram and said that there was a big disaster in Hangzhou, and I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I rushed here." ”

Fortunately, after arriving in Hangzhou, I didn't hear the worst news.

Rather, the grandson is still alive and has managed to solve everything.

Zhu Di is pleased, he deserves to be a good saint.

"Have you rested all the way?" Zhu Chen asked.

After speaking, he involuntarily looked into the old man's eyes.

It was a thick dark circle under his eyes, and I could see that he was dusty, day and night, and slightly tired.

"Don't get in the way, I wasn't tired after the army marched for three days and three nights, but I was really sleepy, so I tied myself to my horse and slept like that." Zhu Di smiled.

Thousands of miles of road have been rushed, not to mention the distance from Yingtian to Hangzhou.

Zhu Chen was a little distressed, and was about to speak, but he heard a voice outside.

"Case Chief Zhu, is Case Chief Zhu here?"

"Case Chief Zhu, we're here to worship you."

"Case Chief Zhu, you are a person who really serves the world."

Hearing this, Zhu Di gently patted Zhu Chen's shoulder: "Sleep with peace of mind, grandpa will help you deal with it." ”

With that, he walked out.

As soon as the old man walked out of the door, he saw the black people kneeling outside the door, saluting towards the prefect of Hangzhou.

When Zhu Di came out, the people looked at him in surprise.

"Do you dare to ask where the head of the case is Zhu?"

"We're here for him."

Zhu Di smiled and crossed his waist with one hand: "Zhu is resting, it's inconvenient to come out, I'm his grandfather." ”

Hearing this, the people looked at each other and bowed their heads.

"It turned out to be the elder of the head of the case, we are grateful to the head of the case, it was he who saved the entire Hangzhou."

"Now the people of Hangzhou City know the great name of Zhu Case."

"Thank you for us, Zhu Case."

The people were excited, kneeling on the ground, their eyes full of gratitude to Zhu Chen.

Zhu Di was in a trance for a while.

People's lives are like grass mustard, they may be killed by corrupt officials and natural disasters at any time, and all kinds of accidents must be prevented.

It was precisely because Zhu Chen solved the scourge of corrupt officials for them that they bowed down devoutly.

The hearts of the people of Hangzhou in this city belong to their grandchildren.

In this way, the injuries on Taisun's body have made a lot of money.

The people's heart is the most important thing, and with the support of the people of Hangzhou, it will be easier for him to ascend to the throne in the future.

Zhu Di sighed that what he asked for but couldn't get it, his grandson easily got it.

"This is a good thing, even if I Zhu Di is unpopular with the people, my grandson can make up for my regrets." Zhu Di sighed in his heart.

Looking at the people, Zhu Di smiled and said, "Okay, if you say, I will bring it to that stinky boy." ”

After a pause, Zhu Di pondered for a moment and said, "In addition, there is a good thing to tell you. ”

"Zhu persuaded the prefect of Hangzhou that the corrupt officials and gentry in Hangzhou colluded to occupy and forcibly annex the land, and all the land was returned to the people."

"If you owned any land before, go to the government to register it, and the government will reprint the land deed documents, and you don't have to be tenants anymore."

Hearing this, the people immediately became ecstatic.

One by one, as if they were crazy, they cried and kowtowed frantically to Zhu Di, and their heads bled in a few clicks.

"Thank you, Casemaster Zhu."

"Zhu is a good person!"

The land is the life of the people, and now they give it back to them, how can they not be ecstatic?

Zhu Di's kindness for his grandson this time is also to win people's hearts for his grandson.

Seeing this, Zhu Di smiled, and his mood was much better.

He paused, turned around and ordered, "Let the prefect of Hangzhou come to see me." ”

……

Not much.

The prefect of Hangzhou hurriedly came, took Zhu Di, and went to the prison.

The prison is already full of people.

The people before have all been let go, and this group is the real ferocious and vicious.

They encroached on the people's land, forcibly annexed the land, and deliberately raised the price of grain, resulting in many people becoming tenants.

The prefect of Hangzhou was respectful and led the way in front.

Zhu Di looked at these landlords and asked expressionlessly: "How much money is involved in this case, how many people are involved, what forces, and what are the court officials?" ”

A few questions in a row made the prefect of Hangzhou answer in a hurry.

"Cao Tongzhi's account book hidden at home shows that a complete chain of corruption is the embezzlement of 3.29 million stone of grain."

"In the city of Hangzhou, almost all the famous landlords and heroes were involved, including several gentry families, and many of them were officials in the imperial court."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di's face was completely gloomy: "Three million and two hundred and ninety thousand stones." ”

That's not a small amount.

Hangzhou Tongzhi has been operating in Hangzhou for more than ten years, starting from the Jianwen Dynasty to corruption, until now, it is really a long time.

"There are really no useful people in the Jianwen Dynasty, and this kind of person is appointed as a big official." Zhu Di took a deep breath and hid his anger.

"In this way, I will give you a confession, you dig out all the officials involved in this case, and after digging it out, Jinyi guards from all over the country will cooperate with you to arrest people, not only corrupt officials, but also his wife and daughter, elders, and families, all escorted to the capital for criminal prosecution."

As soon as these words came out, the face of the prefect of Hangzhou changed.

"Do you want to involve so many people?"

This is already equivalent to the Zhu Jiu clan......

If it goes on like this, it is estimated that there are not tens of thousands of people in this case, and I am afraid that it will not be stopped.

"Guo Heng's case, Taizu beheaded 40,000 people, and today Yongle Dynasty can't relax either, you do it, and after you finish it, go to Beijing to discuss the crime." Zhu Di sneered.

There's still a fire in his heart.

His grandson almost died here, can't he fill it with his life?

If it is changed to normal times, with Zhu Di's brutality, it will be almost the same as the three clans at most.

But now, the grandson is involved and almost has an accident, how can Zhu Di not have monstrous anger in his heart?

Although the grandson is fine, he has to breathe this for him as a grandfather!

In this world, no one can go against the Zhu family!

Whoever dares to bully the Zhu family, the old man is the first to not let him go.

embezzled the grain of the Zhu family, bullied the people of the Zhu family, and almost killed the eldest grandson of the Zhu family.
