After Lin Zhenghao was escorted to Fusi Prison in Beizhen, he received absolute attention from the officials here.

However, the acting pacification envoy here is Lu Ning's relative, and he is Xu Zengshou, the son of Xu Da.

Although this person usually does not have a serious official position, his father is the first duke of the founding of the country after all, so Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to experience it here first, so that he can reuse it later.

Lin Zhenghao attacked Lu Ning on top of the court, and pointed his middle finger at Zhu Yuanzhang, all of which were described vividly by the guards.

Moreover, the guards who followed told Xu Zengshou that the emperor had a decree, and if this person couldn't get anything to try, the officials of the Zhenfu Division would have to be replaced.

Xu Zengshou was even more annoyed after hearing this, he looked at the unconscious Lin Zhenghao, and asked the Jinyi guard next to him.

"Why is this guy still alive now? Our Jinyi Wei has never been so unfavorable to work, if it were me, I would just cut his hand, and I couldn't cut it into eight pieces. ”

A brocade-clothed guard whispered beside him.

"Young master, this person really deserves to die, but His Majesty did not execute him in the court, but asked us to interrogate him, just to make him confess something, if we can't ask, it will be incompetent."

In this regard, Xu Zengshou naturally agreed, and he gritted his teeth and said to the subordinates next to him.

"Don't say that this person attacks the system of the imperial court and frames loyal ministers, just say that Lu Ning is my brother-in-law, and I can't tolerate him."

After speaking, he looked at the hundred households next to him, and then waved his hand and said.

"You will torture me immediately, or the same sentence, as long as you can't die, you will be beaten to death, and don't leave a good place on your body."

When that brocade-clothed guard Baihu got this order, he naturally wouldn't be polite, and directly punched and kicked Lin Zhenghao.

Then he began to apply the whip again, and after beating the bruises all over his body, he even had to dip it in salt water to smear.

This made Xu Zengshou sigh, Jinyiwei's punishment was really two, and he didn't want to go out when he entered here.

Lin Zhenghao, who was dying and alive, saw Xu Zengshou staring at him tightly in front of him, and couldn't help but feel timid in his heart.

The righteous indignation above the court is long gone, replaced by fear.

Jinyiwei has never been a reasonable place, especially the edict prison, after entering here, the immortal will shed his skin.

The wisest choice is to come here and ask whatever you want, otherwise you will only be left with a corpse, and it will be a corpse covered in bruises.

Lin Zhenghao let out a long sigh, and then said to Xu Zengshou.

"Since I have arrived in the edict prison, I can be regarded as resigned to my fate, if you have anything to say, just ask me, and give me a happy one after asking."

Xu Zengshou nodded, thinking that this guy dared to do it, but he was also a man, so he said.

"Since that's the case, then let me ask you, why did you wantonly attack Lu Ning above the court, he has no grudges with you, you are not full."

Lin Zhenghao was really a little speechless, it seemed that the young grandfather in front of him didn't understand what the court dispute was.

Of course, he wouldn't go to Lu Ning's trouble at will, the reason was just that he had lost his vital interests, so he immediately said directly.

"Let me tell you clearly, if it weren't for Lu Ning harming our interests, we would never have attacked him easily, just because the imperial court is collecting the mining tax from us mine owners, and we have reached an agreement with the tax supervisor Yamen in Suzhou, and the Duan Gong Guild is in charge of us."

Only then did Xu Zengshou understand that it turned out that some time ago, Lu Ning gave the court a twist, saying that no matter who owns the mine, it needs to pay taxes in one piece.

The tax is collected by the tax superintendent and verified by the household department, and many people's interests are lost on this basis.

Therefore, they want to kill Lu Ning as soon as possible and restore it to its previous state.

The case involved 23 officials above the seventh grade, and also affected Duan Xuesong, a fourth-grade tax supervisor sent out by Ouchi.

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly got the results of the interrogation, and looking at this record, he couldn't help but take the case.

After staring at this confession for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the prince Zhu Biao beside him and asked.

"Biao'er, what do you think should be done with these people?"

Zhu Biao has always been known for his benevolence, and as long as all the civil and military generals commit a crime, if they go to ask the prince, there will be a lenient result.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang really dislikes this, he thinks that Zhu Biao is a bad person, and asking Zhu Biao this time is actually a temptation.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Biao changed his past gentleness and elegance, and slapped the table and said loudly.

"Father, there is nothing to negotiate with such a big rat, recall that Duan Xuesong back to Beijing to be executed in Lingchi, let all the eunuchs above the sixth rank go to watch the punishment, and all the officials involved in the case above the seventh rank will be executed."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao in a daze, he seemed to be a little unconvinced, these words actually came out of the mouth of this benevolent prince, so he asked.

"Biao'er, you have always advocated forgiveness, why did you go against the norm today and have to execute all these people."

Zhu Biao said to his father very solemnly.

"The child has now figured out that lenient people should treat the people, not those corrupt officials, if they don't die, the people will die in pieces, and there will be no peace in the Ming Dynasty."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but admire, and immediately said.

"Biao'er, you can make such progress, make us very happy, and you will handle this matter immediately."
