In the prison of the Criminal Department——

Zhu Di raised his head, looked at Cheng Yuan, who was resting opposite, and sighed: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known that you were so weak?" ”

When Cheng Yuan heard this, he smiled, and said in his heart, stab you twice with a three-edged knife, and try to lose more blood, I'm afraid you are not as fast as me.

Zhu Di looked at Ji Gang and Chen Ying, he couldn't be too heavy on his son, but he could punish these two accomplices.

"Your Majesty, it's not a pity for the minister to die today, but Your Majesty knows that the collection of commercial taxes is unprecedented in the previous dynasty, how can you compete with cheap industries for profit, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

Having said that, Chen Ying also knew that she would die.

His hair was scattered, and there were whip marks on his body, and when he saw Cheng Yuan walk in, he stared at Cheng Yuan and said, "You are so fateful, I really underestimate you, even Your Majesty is here, and I, Chen Ying, dare to say bluntly, killing you is to avenge Xu Sheng." ”

"Is it interesting for you to kill me, for me to kill you, huh? But I've collected the business tax!

"I not only collect business taxes, but I also want to establish a life for the people, a heart for heaven and earth, a continuation of learning for the saints, and peace for all generations."

Zhu Di doesn't like too much crepe, and he doesn't like grinding and chirping, so he touched his beard and looked at Cheng Yuan, and said in his heart, this rabbit cub can really say.

But, well, he used it a lot.

Zhu Di has not heard the same similar "flattering words", and his ears are calloused when he listens to it every day, but firstly, Cheng Yuan is such a knowledgeable son-in-law, and secondly, he sacrificed a lot this time, and at first glance, he is not the kind of person who only says but does not do.

"Cheng Yuan, I think. You still sit there and rest a little longer, and bring you here to tell you that I will not tolerate them, and when you recover, you will continue to change the commercial tax.

"That coffin is smashed, I feel that thing is very unlucky, you change your business tax, I can be in the heavens, and I can be afraid that some merchants will not succeed, just to improve the status of merchants, what's the use, I don't understand, but I still agree to your request, this is what you deserve."

Zhu Di glanced at Sai Hazhi: "Use torture, let Ji Gang also taste the taste of the three-edged knife." ”

When Cheng Yuan heard this, he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, it was Chen Ying who colluded with the White Lotus Thorn Minister, not Ji Gang. ”

Zhu Di's face suddenly realized: "Then stab Chen Ying twice in the buttocks, that Tang Sai'er, although he is young, but the remnants of the White Lotus, will be executed together, Cheng Yuan, do you feel satisfied?" ”

"Satisfied, the minister is happy, but Your Majesty, can you first give the minister the grain money that the minister advanced to the people?"

Cheng Yuan stared at Zhu Di with a sincere expression.

Zhu Di replied with a more sincere look: "Didn't I order the household department to give it to you a long time ago, maybe you didn't know it when you fell asleep." ”

…… Emperor Raippi! Cheng Yuan grinned and said with a smile: "Oh, it was the minister who remembered wrongly, and His Majesty gave it." ”

"By the way, the queen and I said that I want to see you and go to the palace for dinner tonight." Zhu Di sent a guilty invitation.

One meal is worth my money, Zhu Di, you are really good at calculating, it's okay, anyway, it's your daughter Xianning who gave me the money...... Cheng Yuan smiled: "Yes, the minister obeys the order." ”

Zhu Di turned his head and his face recovered: "The Criminal Department doesn't need to investigate more, the family property will be confiscated, and it will be beheaded next month." ”

Saying that, he came to the attic of the Criminal Department, crossed the high threshold, sat on a chair in the main hall, and said, "This case is different from the past, Saihazhi, don't let me down in the future." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

At night, the Imperial City.

In the Kunning Palace, I saw a thin and beautiful woman sitting opposite from her, who looked like she was Taishui, but the previous plump posture and the familiar charm between the eyebrows are now gone.

Empress Xu saw Cheng Yuan standing there and pondered, and said with emotion: "Farewell to the northern tour, it is actually a lot of things, listen to what Your Majesty said, Xiao Yuanzi, this palace feels that it is bitter for you." ”

In fact, Queen Xu thought that Cheng Yuan had become stupid after being seriously injured, and she felt even more guilty in her heart, her third child was really spoiled.

As he spoke, Zhu Gaosui came in, and he was stunned when he saw Cheng Yuan.

But Zhu Gaosui has always been very obedient to Queen Xu, and because of the presence of the queen mother, he pretended to say: "The third brother-in-law's injury is better?" ”

Cheng Yuan smiled: "It's just two knives, I have nine lives, thank you for the third brother's care." ”

Zhu Gaosui squinted his eyes, and then ran to his mother's side and said, "Mother, my son wants to accompany you more, you are not in good health, and there is no one to take care of you, and my son is not at ease when he goes to Beiping Town." ”

Queen Xu is smart, and she knows that she is unwilling to let her two sons become vassals in the past few days, so she must have come to beg for herself.

The mother of the world has selfish intentions for her son, but the darling is not doting, let alone the royal family, Queen Xu looked at Cheng Yuan: "A few days ago, the palace has been let the imperial doctors take a look, and it is okay." ”

Cheng Yuan raised his head, looked at Queen Xu, was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning: "A few days ago, there was a new imperial doctor in the Tai Hospital, and the queen's body must be fine."

"King Zhao is concerned about the queen's mother, and the minister was moved by this filial piety."

I think you're too cheap, his people stabbed you twice, and you still have to flatter him...... Cheng Yuan despised himself in his heart.

Empress Xu smiled skillfully at the moment, her face was like a hibiscus stamen, and she said with a smile: "Gao Sui, you can go to Beiping Mansion with peace of mind, the queen mother is here, there are Yuying and their sisters-in-law, as well as your eldest brother and sister-in-law, all of whom are very dedicated." ”

seemed to capture his mother's meaning, Zhu Gaosui talked about when he and Queen Xu were in Fengyang.

The eldest son Zhu Gaochi was born in Fengyang, the second son Zhu Gaochu was born in Fengyang and was born in Beiping, and Zhu Gaosui was an authentic Beiping native.

When Zhu Gaosui was born, Zhu Gaochi was six years old and Zhu Gaochu was four years old, so when Zhu Gaosui was studying, his eldest brother and second brother were called by Zhu Yuanzhang to study in the sky.

Like ordinary families, Zhu Gaosui's youngest son often accompanies his mother, and the relationship between mother and son is very close.

According to historical records, Zhu Gaosui was very obedient to his mother Queen Xu and never dared to overstep.

Therefore, in the eyes of Queen Xu, Zhu Gaosui is an obedient and good boy, but he is a pimple.

But the most bastard is Zhu Gaosui.

Cheng Yuan sat next to him and watched Zhu Gaosui play the harmless son of humans and animals, only to feel that he was covered in hair, and he dared to poison the sick Zhu Di when he was plotting, this person is best to stay away.

"His Royal Highness King Zhao, although you can rest assured to go to Beiping, the queen mother's side, we will all do our filial piety, Beiping is an important place, and it is all the cultivation of His Royal Highness."

Listening to what Cheng Yuan said, Queen Xu touched Zhu Gaosui's forehead and said with a smile: "Yes, your father can hand over Beiping to you, and he will also cultivate you, listen to the words of the queen mother, go to Beiping." ”

Zhu Gaosui saw that Empress Xu was also supportive, and said anxiously: "The queen mother also thinks that her son should be like this?" ”

"Although the queen mother is reluctant to give up on you, this matter should be like this, Gao Sui, go."

Empress Xu knew in her heart that the second son, Gao Xu, was thinking about winning the crown prince all day long, and it was better to send the third son to Beiping, so as not to kill each other.

Zhu Gaosui played the family card invalidly, and after looking at Cheng Yuan, he looked at Queen Xu and said: "The son obeys the order, and listens to the mother." ”

Cheng Yuan was stunned when he heard this, this Zhu Gaosui is a bastard and vicious, and he is also sincere to his mother.

Yesterday in front of Zhu Di, he didn't go to Beiping with a dead face, but after listening to a few words today, he agreed to go, and he didn't want to disobey his mother.

It can be seen that human beings are complex animals, and it is not simple that good or bad can be said clearly.

He must hate Zhu Gaosui, after all, Zhu Gaosui's people stabbed him twice, but he killed Zhu Gaosui, how to face his wife and children at home, and Zhu Gaochi who respected and trusted him.

The pain of this injury made him understand a truth, in the future, unfavorable things must be immediately pressed to death in infancy, and he can no longer grind and chirp, and he will be injured in the end.
