Chapter 393: Give Us A Plate of Prawns, Hand-Peeled Prawns!
Lao Zhu knocked Lan Yu again, then threw Lan Yu's matter aside and no longer cared about it.
It's not that he's generous, it's just that he knows that Lan Yu must have a violent temper, but he doesn't have the courage to rebel yet.
As long as he can live for another ten years, he can be boiled to death, so why be a bad person in vain?
Now Lao Zhu's mind is all about the autumn military exercises, and he will take a look at the results of the military training of the vassal kings in various places in the past few years, and whether he has the ability to become a Ming feudal fence. Second, he also declared his force to overseas vassal states, so that they did not dare to underestimate the Ming Dynasty.
As for the third point, it is not very good to be on the table, that is, let his own rebel grandson and the vassal kings compare each other and reach a delicate balance.
It's just that there is one thing that makes him very unhappy, that is, his own rebel grandson, as if he grew up in Suzhou and Songjiang Mansion, has no idea of coming back to participate in military exercises.
This made him very distressed, and he wanted to write three letters a day to urge him to come back.
However, I was too embarrassed to do so, and I didn't want to use this pen.
At this time, Lan Yu gave him an excerpt and said that he would invite him, the emperor, to his home as a guest, to see his family's newly built garden, and to have a meal and drink some wine by the way.
Lao Zhu also agreed, thinking about mentioning it to Lan Yu during dinner, and asked Lan Yu to write a letter to the rebel grandson and ask him to come back quickly.
Generally speaking, courtiers rarely take the initiative to invite the emperor to dinner.
Because the cause and effect here are too great, no one wants to cause this trouble.
This is still a trick given to him by the strategists under his command, saying that Wang Jian in the past dealt with King Qin like this, asking for money to repair gardens and build houses all day long.
As long as you let the emperor know that you are greedy for money to build a garden, the emperor will not be suspicious of you.
Lan Yu really believed it, invited the master of Beijing to design a garden for him, and spent a lot of money to hire someone to build it.
As soon as the garden was completed, Lan Yu wrote to Lao Zhu, saying that he invited His Majesty to visit his garden.
Lan Yu originally just wanted to be polite, but he didn't expect the emperor to give face like this, and he really said that he wanted to come to him.
Therefore, in order to entertain His Majesty the Emperor, Lan Yu wrote another book saying that he would prepare for a few days.
Lao Zhu thought that he had just beaten Lan Yu some time ago, and Lan Yu would definitely take the opportunity to show his loyalty to him, so he gave him a few days and gave him a chance to show his loyalty.
However, when the agreed date approached, when Lao Zhu took the carriage to visit Lan Yu's mansion, the carriage suddenly stopped before driving into the alley of Lan Yu's house.
Lao Zhu panicked on the spot when he saw this scene, he had this kind of experience several times in his life, or similar experiences, and he even wrote these experiences into the "Emperor's Ancestral Teachings" for future generations to learn from.
Whatever moves and occupies is a temporary change, and it will be judged by itself, and the magician will not foresee it.
And if there is a sudden illness of the horse, or there is a change in food, clothing, flags, and armor at that time, or the spoon is lost, or the cup is tilted, or the use is against the will, or the gale or lightning comes against the grain, or the birds and beasts come in a strange way, this divine reward and the blessing of the country will also be.
If you are out, check the left and right carefully, and be cautious and return; On a first-served basis. However, the celestial phenomena can not be done, and the rest are things that can be caused by people, and the female cadres are afraid of this hypocrisy, taking nothing as there is, and suffocating access as nothing, so it is advisable to examine it in detail. ….
If you don't believe it, you will bring disaster against heaven.
I am in danger, and there are several murderers. The previous alarms are all verified, and they are stopped by moving. It is necessary to be detailed, to examine and take, to look up at the way of heaven, to look down on the geography, and then use it without variation, so it is safe.
(Excerpt from Emperor Ming Zuxun)
Because Lao Zhu had these bizarre experiences, when he saw that the horses were abnormal, he immediately ordered someone to retreat.
When Lao Zhu returned to the palace, he immediately ordered Erhu to take the brocade guards to the Lanyu mansion, and found two hundred pairs of armor that had not had time to be transferred away, as well as more than two hundred soldiers.
Although Erhu has a good relationship with Lan Yu, in the face of such ironclad evidence, he has no way to cover up for Lan Yu, so he can only secretly release water and let Lan Yu's youngest son Lan Chun go to the imperial grandson.
As for whether he can save Lan Yuquan
Home, then it depends on whether the Lanyu family has this creation.
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he heard the news, and directly ordered someone to send Lan Yu's entire family to Jinyi Wei Prison, and wantonly arrested the generals who had a relationship with Lan Yu.
Dozens of generals who followed Lan Yu on the expedition were implicated, and then the whole family was imprisoned.
The civil officials went out en masse and wrote letters to impeach Lan Yu and his party for lawlessness, and almost impeached the military generals of the Ming Dynasty.
Even Tang He, who was treating and recuperating in the capital, was impeached by this group of civil officials on several charges.
Lao Zhu is like a stream, no matter who is impeached, he will send Jinyi Wei over to "ask".
How can Jin Yiwei ask?
Naturally, I will arrest the person first, so as not to run away and find no one.
For a time, the whole capital was in turmoil, and people were panicked.
After investigating for a few days, Erhu reported to His Majesty the Emperor.
"Emperor, the humble position has been investigated clearly, and this incident is purely a misunderstanding."
"According to the confession of the armor soldiers of the Blue Jade Mansion, they are just the households that Lan Yu has drawn from various mountain villas, in order to perform a military drama for the emperor."
"Most of the other generals also shouted grievances, saying that they hadn't been in contact with Lan Yu for a long time, and they didn't know about Lan Yu's rebellion!"
Lao Zhu was very dissatisfied with this result, and pointed at Erhu's nose and scolded.
"Did you take their money and come here to speak for them?"
How can the second tiger stand this charge, hearing this, he hurriedly kowtowed "bang", and was knocked out of his head in a few clicks.
Lao Zhu was still indignant and jumped to his feet and scolded.
"You conscienceless dog, we treat you well, you are like those female ministers to fool us!"
"Now they're trying to kill us!"
"But you told us that Lan Yu's dog thing had set up an ambush for more than 200 armor soldiers, and what kind of trick did you want to show us?"
"You're us!"
Erhu was shocked and frightened when he heard this, but he was more aggrieved.
He has always treated Lao Zhu with respect as his father, how could he have such a rebellious heart?
Lao Zhu's heart-wrenching words are really more uncomfortable than cutting him with a knife.
"The emperor forgives his sins, and he will never dare to have such a heart!"
"To put it mildly, the lowly brothers have lost their fathers since they were children, and we have always treated you like a father in our hearts, how can we partner with outsiders to harm you......
"It's just that the things tortured by the lowly are true......
When Lao Zhu heard this, he angrily picked up the inkstone and smashed it at Erhu. ….
"How dare you say it!"
"Lan Yu's murderous intent can even be seen by the horse pulling the cart, and you dare to speak for him!"
"Come on, drag this dog thing out for us, and interrogate us strictly, if you have taken Lan Yu's money that has lost her conscience!"
"No!"
"Spread the message to Jiang Xuan!"
Not long after, Jiang Zhen came to the Qianqing Palace.
When Lao Zhu saw Jiang Xuan, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Jiang Xuan, you shouldn't let us down, right?"
As soon as Jiang Xuan heard this, he thought of the fact that Erhu was dragged out just now, and he knew it in his heart.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured!"
"The humble duty will definitely find out all the rebellious ministers and thieves to His Majesty!"
"I'd rather kill by mistake than let go!"
When Lao Zhu heard this, he was really happy.
"Good, good!"
"It's worthy of being someone we value, so I'll leave this matter to you, be sure to find out for us!"
"No!"
After Jiang Zhen took over the Lan Yu party case, the progress can be described as rapid, and it took less than two days to collect hundreds of pieces of incriminating evidence.
The letters exchanged between Lan Yu and the generals over the years, as well as the forbidden items that Lan Yu has been greedy for ink for all these years.
These things are nothing at all in normal times, and Lao Zhu also knows that Lan Yu likes to secretly hide some loot or something, and he also has this to offer
Turn a blind eye.
However, as the case of Lan Yu's rebellion surfaced, these things became evidence of Lan Yu's rebellion.
Later, Jiang Yu interrogated several confessions accusing Lan Yu of rebellion, as well as rebellious words during the banquet.
Originally, Lan Yu's sworn friend didn't want to explain, but he couldn't stand Jiang Xuan's strength.
For example, when Jiang Zhen interrogated Lan Yu's dead friend Wang Bi, Wang Bi gritted his teeth and carried the torture, without revealing a word.
However, when Jiang Xuan said what year and month he and Lan Yu were with whom, where they were drinking, and what everyone said during the banquet, his psychological defense line completely collapsed.
Finished!
This is His Majesty's desire to rectify Lan Yu and eradicate Lan Yu's relatives for the emperor's grandson!
Once the case becomes a political incident, Wang Bi has nothing to hide, and he confessed one by one.
It's not enough to say it's a frame-up, Lan Yu is really good at complaining after drinking, and it's normal to say something disrespectful.
Jiang Zhen showed the sorted confession to Lao Zhu, and Lao Zhu scolded again, scolding Lan Yu for being a dog with no conscience, and then ordered Jiang Zhen to continue to investigate, and be sure to wipe out the Blue Party!
Jiang Zhen got His Majesty's order, the progress of the interrogation was faster, and the arrest was stronger.
The lieutenant generals and colonels of the army were all involved, and even a few thousand households in the Jinyi Guard were arrested by him on the grounds of reporting to the rebellious party.
At first, many people were able to get a single room, but as more and more people were arrested, except for Lan Yu, a felon, who could also get a separate cell, Erhu and others could only live with people.
On this day, Erhu was napping against the wall, when he suddenly heard a sound of the cell door, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Jiang Si and Han Wu.
"Why are you two arrested too?"
Jiang Si and Han Wu drooped their heads and said with a depressed face.
"The matter of releasing Lan Chun privately was known to Jiang Xuan......
Hearing this, Erhu let out a long sigh and said. ….
"Alas!"
"You two are being burdened by me!"
The two didn't have any grudges, and sat next to Erhu and asked him how he was doing during this time.
The two tigers don't care about the way.
"What else can I do, eat and sleep all day, sleep and eat."
"Although Jiang Xuan's family longs for me to die early, he still doesn't dare to torture me. I'm just afraid that the emperor will listen to that kid's slander and chop me up with his hands when he starts to kill!"
The two hurriedly comforted.
"No!"
"Master Tiger is Jane in the heart of the emperor, and your eldest brother has made great contributions to the emperor, and the emperor will not want your life!"
"It's just that Liang Guogong is hanging this time, so I can't ask the whole family to ask ......."
When Erhu heard this, the expression on his face was neither sad nor joyful.
From the bottom of his heart, it is not an exaggeration to cut off his head for those things that Lan Yu did.
But to say that he rebelled, it seems to be almost meaningful.
"Do you two still have connections in the cell?"
"I want to go see Liang Guogong!"
Jiang Si's eyes rolled, and when he saw a jailer passing by, he beckoned to him.
"Lao Liu, get over here and help us open the cell door!"
When the jailer heard the voice and saw that the person who shouted him was Jiang Si, he hurriedly ran over and called a thousand.
"Hey, isn't this Fourth Master Jiang, why have you been caught too?"
"Don't talk nonsense, Master Tiger is going to go outside for a walk, hurry up and open the prison door for Lao Tzu!"
The jailer shook his head when he heard this.
"No!"
"The commander keeps a strict eye on the adults, if the little one dares to open a cell for you, he can lock the little one in when he turns around!"
After saying this, the jailer turned around and left, as if he was afraid that Jiang Si would make some more excessive demands.
However, the moment it turned, there was a crunch sound on the ground, as if something had fallen to the ground.
Jiang Si saw the jailer walking away and hurriedly crawled to the prison
At the edge of the door, he reached out and grabbed a piece of iron from the outside, then broke it in his hand to make the general shape of a key, and opened the lock of the cell door with a few clicks.
"Tiger Master, please!"
Erhu looked at Jiang Si's technique and hammered him with a smile.
"Good boy, you've figured out the cell!"
Han Wu said with a smile on the side.
"Master Hu, you don't know, in the past few years, the locks in Beizhen Fusi's cell have been managed by Jiang Si, and he can feel out what is inside these locks with his eyes closed!"
Erhu was secretly moved when he heard this, he vaguely guessed why the two of them entered the cell, maybe it was not only Jiang Zhen who retaliated, but also the two of them who were afraid that he would suffer, so they ran in to accompany him.
Otherwise, with their skills, it would be very difficult for Jiang Zhen to catch them.
"Thank you!"
"If my second tiger can go out this time, please go to my house for a drink."
"That's a good dare, I haven't tasted my sister-in-law's craft for a long time, so I have to ask my sister-in-law to fry a few more dishes for the two of us!"
"Two foodies!"
After Erhu smiled and scolded, his face instantly became solemn.
"Don't follow you, stay in your cell and wait for me!"
The two of them were not polite when they heard this, and they really sat down against the wall of the cell.
Now Lan Yu is a disaster star, and he can hide as far as he can, and there is no need to go up. ….
Erhu came to the cell where Lan Yu was being held with ease, and although some jailers saw him along the way, they were so blind that they didn't see anything.
The second tiger came to the outside of Lan Yu's cell as if no one was around, looking at Lan Yu, who had already been beaten to the point of being torn apart and tortured to the point that he had no human form.
"Liangguo Gong ......"
Lan Yu opened her eyes in pain and looked at the two tigers outside the door, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.
"Brother Erhu, you know us, we can't do such a rebellious thing......
"You go and tell the superior for us, the superior must ......."
Erhu interrupted Lan Yu's words and said heavily.
"The lowly position has been imprisoned by the emperor, and now he is also a prisoner of the ranks......
"Huh?"
When Lan Yu heard this, the look of hope in her eyes gradually faded, and a hint of a smile gradually appeared on her face.
"We get it!"
"The superior is tired of me and wants me to die in front of him, hahaha......
Erhu has also figured this out these days, it is impossible for the emperor not to see Lan Yu's person, and it is impossible not to notice the abnormality at all.
But the emperor still insisted on Lan Yu's rebellion, and still ordered a strict investigation, probably out of other considerations.
"The upper position has sealed the Chang family, right?"
Erhu nodded.
"It is said that Chang Sheng's son Chang Jizu is the son of the founding father!"
"Shizi?"
Lan Yu laughed when he heard this.
"Good!"
"What about Ascension?"
"Has the Emperor regained his elevated title?"
The second tiger shook his head when he heard this.
"Nope!"
When Lan Yu heard this, she laughed even more presumptuously.
"The prince is worthy of the grandson, and the upper position has made another good move, hahaha!"
"It seems that the superior has already selected a team for our nephew, and my uncle is useless, hahaha......
Lan Yu's smile was full of bitterness and helplessness, and Erhu was also embarrassed to hear it.
"Master Lan, if you have anything to say to take you out, just say it now."
Erhu saw that there was a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in Lan Yu's room, and added another sentence.
"If you don't want to say it, you can write it!"
Lan Yu looked at the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in his cell, and finally his face couldn't hold back, and he knelt on the ground with his head in his arms and cried bitterly.
This ink, paper, and inkstone was what made him confess his crimes, but now it is him
A tool for giving your last words.
Lan Yu knelt on the ground and cried for a long time, and finally raised his head to the sky and shouted.
"The old man has been wronged!"
The sound echoed through the cell, echoing through the hallways, and finally sobbing.
Wang Bi, Marquis of Dingyuan, shouted at the other end of the cell.
"Brother Lan, I'm sorry for you!"
Hearing Wang Bi's shout, the others also kowtowed in the direction of Lan Yu, kowtowing while saying words of apology.
"Master Lan, I can't stand your old man, I can't bear it, I can't bear it, woo woo woo ......
The cry soon spread outside the cell, attracting Jiang Xuan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
Jiang Zhen led people to beat them from cell to cell, and told them all to shut up, and no one was allowed to cry out for injustice.
However, when he came to Lan Yu's cell and saw the two tigers kneeling outside Lan Yu's cell, Jiang Zhen jumped over the cell as if he hadn't seen it. ….
The second tiger is in the emperor's heart, and without the emperor's will, he does not dare to target the second tiger.
When the second tiger saw Jiang Xuan going to the next door to be majestic, he couldn't help but snort coldly at Jiang Xuan's back.
"The villain who bullies the soft and fears the hard!"
Jiang Zhen didn't seem to hear it, but he whipped the prisoner in the next cell a little more.
Erhu heard the ghost crying wolf howl from next door, and his brows furrowed unhappily, but now that he is crossing the river, it is difficult for him to protect himself, and it is difficult to care about the life and death of others.
"Master Lan, hurry up and write, you can't wait for a long time......
When Lan Yu heard this, she hurriedly wiped away her tears, crawled to the table and picked up the pen, and wrote the word "injustice" with her hand, and then stopped her pen in a daze.
Seeing this, the second tiger didn't dare to urge, so he could only wait anxiously. I waited for a long time before I saw Lan Yu continue to pick up the pen and write.
"His Royal Highness the Emperor is well......
"Uncle is not wronged, don't think of your uncle, tell Lan Chun's kid for my uncle, his father is innocent of his death, and he deserves it, let him work for Daming, don't learn from him......
Lan Yu finished writing the suicide note and handed it to the two tigers waiting outside the door, and the whole person lay down on the ground like an appointment.
Erhu took the suicide note, and as soon as he put it in his arms, he heard the big iron door of the cell creak.
He turned to look at the end of the hallway, only to see a dusty man walking in with a decree in his hand.
When the second tiger saw this scene, his brain "buzzed".
"Is it Father-in-law Qin?"
Qin Deshun responded when he heard this.
"It's our house!"
"Brother Erhu, don't come unharmed?"
"All right!"
"Dare to ask Father-in-law Qin, but the emperor's will has arrived?"
After Erhu asked this sentence, there was silence at the end of the corridor for a long time.
"Alas......
"There is a will, all of them kneel and receive it!"
The cell where the ghost was crying wolf just now, when he heard this voice, it fell silent for a moment, and everyone lay at the door of the cell with hopeful eyes, quietly looking at Qin Deshun who was holding the holy decree in his hand.
"The Emperor's Decree!"
"Lan Yu, you dog who has been stabbed with a thousand knives, we have been digging out our hearts and lungs for so many years, and you want to rebel against us?"
"We really can't get angry when we put you to death!"
"Let's just think that you have a little credit, and give you a good time."
"At noon tomorrow, the whole family of Lan Yu will be escorted to the noon gate to behead the public!"
"Other people involved in the conspiracy!"
"Slash!"
"Those who don't report it!"
"Slash!"
The three words "chop" directly beat the temperature of the entire cell to the freezing point, and everyone shouted hoarsely and unjustly.
Even Erhu was full of question marks, because the holy decree came too quickly.
It's only been a few days since Lan Yu's rebellion, and the trial was concluded so quickly?
"Father-in-law Qin, can you persuade the emperor to let the emperor postpone
Two days ......"
When Qin Deshun heard this, he was so frightened that he took two steps back.
"Master Tiger, are you trying to kill our family or what?"
"You don't know what kind of temper the emperor has?"
"The reason why the emperor is in such a hurry to deal with it is that he is afraid that the imperial grandson will rush back to intercede!"
"Who in the world doesn't know that the emperor and grandson miss the old, if the emperor knows about this, it is to fight and provoke the emperor, and he will ......"....
"Alas......
Qin Deshun shut up with amusement when he said this, because if he continued to talk about it, it would involve the question of whether he was unjust or not.
Now that the case has been closed, Lan Yu has to suffer even if he has a big grievance, and he, who is a eunuch, has no need to cry out for him.
Jiang Zhen took over the holy decree from Qin Deshun, and the temperament of the whole person was different.
He triumphantly walked to the blue jade cell and said to Erhu, who was kneeling by the door.
"Master Tiger, how long are you going to stay?"
Hearing this, Erhu glared at Jiang Xuan, and returned to the cell with a snort.
Although he was not afraid of Jiang Xuan, he didn't want to cause trouble either.
Jiang Xuan saw that Erhu was gone, and looked at Lan Yudao lying on the ground with a smile.
"Liang Guogong, haven't you always boasted of your high merits, but in the end, didn't you still fold on our dog?"
"Hahaha!"
Lan Yu snorted coldly when she heard this.
"A dog is a dog!"
"The old man is also a hero even if he dies, and thousands of years later, there will still be descendants who will remember my exploits and remember my goodness!"
"But you dog, no one will know that there is such a thing as you for thousands of years!"
Jiang Zhen didn't think it was wrong, but just looked at Lan Yu playfully.
"Do you want to eat anything at night?"
"Although you look down on me and call me a dog, I don't care about you, and I will still prepare a sumptuous decapitation meal for you!"
When Lan Yu heard this, her body finally reacted a little.
He went through all kinds of delicacies in his mind, but found that he was not interested in all the delicacies, only interested in the prawns that Zhu Yunxi peeled for himself before the expedition.
Lan Yu was not interested in the prawns, but thought of the expression of the old vermilion vinegar jar overturned.
Thinking of this, Lan Yu lay on the ground and laughed until tears came out of her laughter.
This was the only time he won against the Zhu butcher and let the Zhu butcher eat the vinegar of his courtier.
"Give us a plate of shrimp, hand-peeled prawns!"
Fiery chicken fir
