Why doesn't Liu Jingming know this truth? It's just that when facing Xu Yingxu, a general who has been on the battlefield, he was really scared, so he could only play all the hole cards.

Xu Yingxu snorted coldly and threw Liu Jingming to the ground.

Even if the other party breaks the rules, after all, he is the person of King Yan, and only King Yan can dispose of him.

Liu Jingming hurriedly got up from the ground, having lost his calm just now.

"Acting king, this official has already written a note to impeach you, and your good days are coming to an end."

He shouted like crazy.

Zhu Gui didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly asked people to drag the one-eyed dragon over.

"General Chen, this is the one-eyed dragon, the leader of the Salt Gang, and he and the Salt Gang have done the many recent attacks on the road construction team."

After all, this General Chen is a local garrison general, and it is still necessary for Zhu Gui to have a good relationship with the other party, and there may be a place where he can be used in the future.

The one-eyed dragon drooped its head and said nothing.

The General Chen glanced at the one-eyed dragon, thought for a moment and said, "The last general has also heard about the recent events in the city, but isn't the leader of the Salt Gang called Hu Shidao?" ”

"Yes, yes, I hope Lord Chen will see clearly, I am not the helper, Hu Shidao is, I am instructed by someone, he is Hu Shidao."

Seeing that things seemed to have taken a turn for the better, the one-eyed dragon immediately began to shout that he was wronged, and then pointed out Hu Shidao who was standing behind Zhu Gui.

Hu Shidao wanted to refute, but was stopped by Zhu Gui.

"Hu Shidao has already abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and it can be regarded as the eyeliner that this king planted in the Salt Gang, and the conspiracy of the Salt Gang can be destroyed today is because of the clues he provided, as for who this person was instructed by, Lord Liu, don't you want to say a few words?"

While Zhu Gui vouched for Hu Shidao, he pointed the finger at Liu Jingming again.

Du Fang has already moved out of King Yan as a backstage, and the people present, except for him, the acting king, others have nothing to do with him.

Liu Jingming's heart is in turmoil, his current situation is very embarrassing, even if the acting king really falls, King Yan may not protect him anymore, and his career may be over from now on.

Hearing that the acting king mentioned him again, he immediately said, "I, the official, have nothing to say?" I think the emperor has his own decision on this matter. ”

He avoided the topic of the Salt Gang and seemed very sure that Zhu Gui would be punished by the emperor.

At that time, not only will he be fine, but he will probably be commended or even promoted for his meritorious service.

His attitude made Zhu Gui a little speechless, could it be that this guy already knew the attitude of Nanjing? Did Zhu Di, the king of Yan, tell him?

This made him a little uncertain, Zhu Yuanzhang wouldn't really set his mouth, right?

For a while, because of Liu Jingming's words and Zhu Gui's silence, the atmosphere in the courtyard became a little awkward.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the Acting King's Mansion: "The Holy Decree has arrived." ”

"The Divine Decree has arrived, the Divine Decree has arrived."

The first to react was Liu Jingming, who seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and the expression on his face was very excited.

On the contrary, the expressions of Zhu Gui and Xu Yingxu, the acting kings, were a little solemn.

Xu Yingxu looked at Zhu Gui, who was about to leave, and said in a low voice: "Acting King, if something really happens, don't act rashly, I will beg my father to intercede with the emperor for you." ”

Although he didn't know whether these actions of the acting king violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, he saw the other party's performance these days.

Zhu Gui didn't stop, but still said 'thank you'.

Everyone came to the gate of the Acting King's Mansion together.

This startled the eunuch who came to announce the decree, and it was the first time he had seen such a large battle to receive the decree.

"Where is the king?" The middle-aged eunuch asked.

Zhu Gui walked out of the crowd and knelt in front of the middle-aged eunuch.

After the middle-aged eunuch confirmed it, he took out the holy decree.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict, on behalf of the king Zhu Gui, arrogant and rude, ignorant of the law, fined for one year, if there is a recidivism, must be severely punished, admire. Acting king, take the order, right? ”

The middle-aged eunuch reminded after reciting the holy decree.

That's it?

Not only Zhu Gui was a little confused, but the crowd standing behind him also looked confused.

Liu Jingming even stood up and said, "Father-in-law, is this holy decree?" ”

The middle-aged eunuch glared at him and said, "Who are you?" Do you also deserve to talk to miscellaneous people? ”

Zhu Gui hurriedly got up and took the holy decree with both hands, and then asked people to take the middle-aged eunuch into the mansion to serve him so that he could prepare a generous gift.

The middle-aged eunuch turned his head and nodded to the acting king, with a smile on his face, and at the same time pulled out a letter from his sleeve.

"His Royal Highness the Acting King, this is the prince who asked the slave to hand it over to the prince, and asked the slave to tell the prince that he must be careful during this time and don't annoy the emperor again."

After speaking, the middle-aged eunuch went into the house.

It is already obvious what he said, it seems that Zhu Yuanzhang is still very angry with what he did, but it was blocked by the crown prince Zhu Biao.

"It's really my big brother." Zhu Gui couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and then turned around and was about to go home.

Since there is no mention of his involvement in the salt tax in the decree, the matter is considered to be in the past.

But some people don't think so.

Liu Jingming directly stopped Zhu Gui and said: "Acting king, the emperor is gracious, and he can not blame the salt tax in the past, but the emperor will never tolerate the fact that you are involved in other local taxes and also secretly conceal weapons." ”

When Zhu Gui heard this, he immediately became angry.

"Lord Liu, do you really think that my fourth brother will be able to do anything to me just because he died a dog?"

Liu Jingming's eyes widened, and his body involuntarily took two steps back.

"Y-What do you say? Who are the dogs? ”

Zhu Gui didn't plan to have anything to do with him, "Come on, Liu Jingming colluded with the Yan Gang bandits, attacked the Daiwang Mansion, intended to rebel, took off his official uniform, and sent him to Nanjing for trial at a later date." ”

Xu Yingxu and General Chen, who were present, both looked at Zhu Gui in surprise.

Is this tantamount to slapping King Yan in the face?

King Yan is the prince with the greatest prestige and influence among all the princes, except for the crown prince.

"How dare you, woo woo......"

Liu Jingming was startled, but the next moment he was overwhelmed by Zhu Gui's personal soldiers and took off his official uniform.

Zhu Gui didn't pay attention to this, he knew that the holy decree should be drawn up by Zhu Biao, so he would avoid the important and light.

But the real content should be in this letter.

Now he just wants to read the letter first and understand what Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards him is.

Zhu Gui left, Liu Jingming was arrested, and General Chen stood outside the mansion with a little embarrassment.

However, the emperor's attitude towards the acting king's involvement in the salt tax is only 'a fine for half a year', what can he do to a vassal king with a local garrison?

So he was a little embarrassed and took people away.
