Chapter 40: Is Li Zicheng Innocent?

Speaking of which, can he be blamed for this?

When a human civilization is so backward that it is inferior to that of animals, it is understandable that it will rise up and resist.

Therefore, Li Zicheng can't be blamed.

If you want to blame it, you blame the world, and you need a strong monarch.

Zhou Xian had already made up his mind to kill the eight major merchants.

But after really understanding the inside story of their deal with Jiannu, Zhou Xian became furious.

I can't wait for him to appear in Bingzhou now.

Personally supervise the criminal decapitation.

"Presumptuous, presumptuous! Is this world the world of the people or the world of his merchants? ”

"Presumptuous!"

Zhou Xian angrily hammered the table, and Hou Lian next to him trembled.

I only heard Zhou Xian's thunderous roar: "Go, go and find Wang Mingrui quickly!" ”

"The adults are angry, and the minions will summon them."

Hou Lianhui turned around and left tremblingly.

Who is Wang Mingrui?

He was the last year of the Ming Dynasty, the left waiter of the Inspectorate.

Since his boss was executed by Qian Qianyi with a colt.

The current first brother of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is temporarily served by Wang Mingrui.

At this time, it was already the third watch in the middle of the night.

Wang Mingrui, who was sleeping soundly with his mother-in-law in his arms, was frightened when he heard the emergency report from the palace.

When he got up, he was very angry, and secretly scolded himself for having no pattern when he was a concubine.

What can't wait until dawn to talk about?

Anyway, the horse master doesn't accompany Her Royal Highness Princess Changping at night?

Do you have to discuss official business in the middle of the night?!

However, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction.

Wang Mingrui did not dare to rashly disobey Zhou Xian's authority.

With a stick of incense, he was already nervous and followed Hou Lian to appear in front of Zhou Xian.

"The minister sees the horse master, the horse master is a thousand years old!"

Zhou Xian nodded and did not speak.

Wang Mingrui felt indescribable uneasiness in his heart.

But he didn't dare to speak.

The point is that I don't know what to say.

Why does this donkey master have this donkey face?

It looked as if anger was about to erupt at any moment.

The atmosphere in the hall remained for a long time, and Zhou Xian suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "Wang Mingrui, how many years have you been in the position of squire?" ”

Wang Mingrui replied without hesitation: "If you go back to the Ma Ye, the minister is the inspectorate who Chongzhen entered in the second year, and he has been in the public office in the position of the waiter until now. ”

After Wang Mingrui finished speaking, he had a bad thought in his heart.

Suddenly, I remembered Zhao Hongxue, who was on a par with him.

Zhao Hongxue was strictly dealt with by the horse before.

Now the colt summons himself in the middle of the night, can't he do it himself?

After speculating carefully, Wang Mingrui became even more uneasy.

Because he himself is not clean.

But also very clean.

Although he was also greedy for millions of taels of silver.

But this number is not even worthy of being a goalkeeper among the scholars!

So he still feels that he is very incorruptible!!

When Wang Mingrui was sweating, Zhou Xian said: "I have read your resume, and the squire's errand is also very good." "Thank you for your praise, sharing worries for the court, it is the duty of the lower officials!" Wang Mingrui's nervous heart was relieved.

He was stunned, but he didn't expect that the colt who wanted to kill would praise him for the first time.

"Wang Mingrui."

"The lower official is here."

"I'm going to give you an errand, and if you do it well, you will be promoted to the next level. If you don't do it well, your head will not be guaranteed. ”

Wang Mingrui knelt on the ground in surprise: "Please tell the Chitose master, even if the lower officials are smeared, they will definitely do it!" ”

Zhou Xian nodded with satisfaction and gave Hou Lianhui a look.

Soon, Hou Lianhui skillfully took out Qiao Sheng's confession and handed it to Wang Mingrui.

When Wang Mingrui received the testimony from Bingzhou, he was petrified on the spot.

And the eight great families of the state!

They are all rich businessmen in the world who have big backers in the court!

Wang Mingrui looked at the evidence above and already knew what Zhou Xian was going to let him do.

It was clear that he wanted to borrow his hand to clean up those merchants.

But is that a merchant to clean up?

It was obvious that he couldn't get along with those big officials in the DPRK.

Wang Mingrui was numb at that time......

"Da Ming has no criminal record, but those eight people are traitors and criminals, which has a great impact."

"Their crimes are even more shameful than treason. I ask you, what is the crime of treason? ”

Wang Mingrui was stunned for a moment, and said instinctively: "Treason, its crime should be punished, and the three clans will be destroyed." ”

"And what about a crime more outrageous than treason?"

found that Wang Mingrui was speechless for a while.

Zhou Xian took the initiative to say: "Destroy their nine clans, confiscate all the family property, and fill it into the treasury." ”

When Zhou Xian said this, his tone was very light.

It's so light that people can't hear any emotion, but the power mixed between the lines is overwhelming.

"Wang Mingrui, do you understand?"

"Xia Guan understands."

"Okay, there is one more matter, I will also let you supervise it according to the law."

"Chitose Lord, Xia Guan has already thought of it."

"The lower officials will conduct a detailed investigation, and none of the personnel involved will be missed."

After Wang Mingrui finished speaking, he wiped the sweat on his forehead.

He knew that he could no longer resist the order of this colt master.

So instead of carrying it and making people feel uncomfortable, it is better to take the initiative to ask for it.

Look!

Isn't this the opening of the pattern?

Zhou Xian couldn't help but admire Wang Mingrui a little.

"Let's be flat."

"Thank you, Chitose."

"Without further ado, you go back and pack up and leave for Bingzhou early."

"The subordinate obeys."

Wang Mingrui bowed and bowed, and withdrew from the hall with a complicated mood.

In the blink of an eye, five days have passed.

Zhou Xian was in the palace, approving the folds on his behalf.

Hou Lianhui was by his side, fanning the fan carefully.

Bring a gentle coolness to the horse.

Of course, Zhou Xian knew that every piece of the book he reviewed here, in fact, the officials of the cabinet would truthfully copy a copy and send it to Zhu Youzhen, the Chongzhen Emperor of Taishan Xingyuan.

After all, Zhu Youzhen followed the example of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Emperor of Hongwu, and let foreign ministers supervise the country.

That was also arranged to observe Hu Weiyong's every move at any time.

But Zhou Xian ignored it completely.

Because he is not Hu Weiyong, he does not have Hu Weiyong's self-interested flamboyant intestines.

Everything he did was beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.

There were even some things that Emperor Chongzhen was shocked.

"Chitose Master, Wang Mingrui has returned to the palace."

Hou Lian said softly next to Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian was slightly excited: "Pass him in." ”

A moment later, Wang Mingrui walked in.

Zhou Xian looked at it and found that this Wang Aiqing had lost more than ten pounds in just a few days.

And white hairs crawled out of their heads.

"Chitose Lord, this is the case investigated by the lower officials, please take a look at it."

Wang Mingrui handed over the case file he had sorted out to Hou Lianhui.

and then forwarded by Hou Lianhui to Zhou Xian.

"Go down, and you will be the first to speak tomorrow morning."

Wang Mingrui was stunned again, gritted his teeth and said, "The next official will retire." ”

He knew that Zhou Xian was going to make a big fuss about this matter when he was going to court tomorrow morning.
