Zhu Gaoxu sat opposite Xu Jingchang, in an irritable mood, kept pouring tea into his mouth, and in a blink of an eye, a pot of tea was drunk, but the fire in his heart did not decrease at all, and there was a feeling of adding fuel to the fire.

"Xu Jingchang...... That cousin...... My people are still reliable, you can't just catch people and get into sin, that's not good. ”

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Are your people good?" What about Wang Ning? He's pretty good, too? ”

Zhu Gaoxu was suddenly dumbfounded, Wang Ning's guy helped him win the heir early, and later found that he had lost power, and he did not hesitate to step back.

Villain, full villain!

"Cousin, you know what I mean, the people in our chamber of commerce are still reliable, at least under my constraints, they are all honest, contribute taxes, and never dare to act recklessly...... All in all, you can't frame a good person, if there is really an unjust, false and wrongful case, I will avenge my father. ”

Xu Jingchang still smiled, "His Royal Highness King Han, otherwise, you can write a list now, and then sign and draw a pledge below, saying that you will use your title to guarantee that there is nothing to do." Then I may be able to lift up my noble hand and spare them, what do you think? ”

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes rolled, and he looked at Xu Jingchang's expression carefully, he lifted the brush and was stunned for a long time...... Frozen there, not moving.

Xu Jingchang smiled: "What, it's not easy to put pen to paper?" Han Wang has no faith? ”

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and smiled helplessly, "Cousin, this person knows the face but doesn't know the heart, I am also afraid of hurting Daming's vitality, and I don't want to interfere with your case." All in all, you also know that merchants contribute taxes, just like leeks in the yard, you can't dig them uprooted, right? ”

Xu Jingchang couldn't help laughing, and tears came out.

He got up and took a bronze mirror and handed it to Zhu Gaoxu.

"See for yourself."

Zhu Gaoxu was puzzled, "I, do I have something on my face?" ”

Xu Jingchang shook his head with a smile, "I actually saw His Royal Highness the King of Han panicking and trembling, shouldn't it be a big deal?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu was so angry that he threw away the bronze mirror and said angrily: "Why are you still making me happy?" ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "I want to congratulate Your Highness, you have matured and know that some things cannot be mixed up, and some things can be said, but you can't be written in black and white, you have really improved." ”

Zhu Gaoxu snorted: "My son will tease the little girl, no matter how immature I am, can I still study with your son?" ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "That's nothing, it's not a coincidence to live to learn all the time, and to learn eighty...... But I'm telling you what you've learned, and it's true that many people don't know about it in their lifetime. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone ran in and whispered to Xu Jingchang twice.

Xu Jingchang waved his hand and asked people to go down, and then said to Zhu Gaoxu: "Look, the next one is an old fool who didn't figure it out." ”

As soon as the words fell, someone led the way in front and invited Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qi, in.

Qiu Fu entered the door and was somewhat embarrassed when he saw Xu Jingchang and Zhu Gaoxu.

But Qiu Fu was still very polite, "Dingguo Gong, what the hell is going on, how can I offend you from my Qiu family?" I'll arrest people as soon as I come up, where do you put my old face? ”

Xu Jingchang pointed to the position next to him, "Sit, drink tea first, let's talk slowly." ”

Qiu Fu didn't have the heart to drink tea, but he just sat down reluctantly, and said: "Last time, I talked with Dingguo Gong on paper, and I lost badly. I am in awe of your ability, now I live in a simple place, there is no place for nonsense, at this age, you don't leave me any face? ”

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Qi Guogong, don't worry, I can't be the kindest...... You say that if you forcibly expropriate the land in the name of building a shooting range, and then turn the land into mulberry fields, sell silk, and build workshops, what kind of crime is this? ”

Hearing this, Qiu Fu's eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly said: "Dingguo Gong, I know about this matter, I have already explained to my subordinates, let them return the land, and if they make a mistake, go to the yamen to surrender." I still have their confessions, and I, I have nothing to do with it. ”

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Don't worry, I know that Qi Guogong is honest and honest, and it has nothing to do with this matter." No, I'm inviting you here, but I'm not arresting you! ”

When Qiu Fu heard this, his heart suddenly chilled, and then he looked at Zhu Gaoxu, who didn't speak next to him...... He seemed to understand something, and the little anger in his heart just now had disappeared.

Xu Jingchang's horror is really not just a casual blow...... He pinched on too much evidence of the crime, but he didn't trigger it.

Now Zhu Di intends to make concessions, and Zhu Gaochi is about to inherit his position and reform the official system...... At this most opportune moment, he shook things out and the effect was full.

Don't talk about others, Qiu Fu will be honest.

Just then, another man came in.

"Dingguo Gong, Baoding Hou Mengshan is here."

As soon as the words fell, a veteran with white hair rushed in angrily from outside, and when he saw Xu Jingchang, he slapped the table!

"Dingguo Gong, don't you deceive people too much? Before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the old man took refuge in Emperor Taizu, and I am meritorious in the founding of the Ming Dynasty. In the Battle of Jingjing, I took refuge in Your Majesty, was born and died, and fought in Yingtian, and I still made great contributions. I, the Marquis of Baoding, am not as good as your Dingguo Gong, but I am not something that anyone can fiddle with! ”

Meng Shan gasped for breath and continued: "What's more, the old man returned to his hometown the year before last to recuperate, and you are still chasing and killing like this, you are so hateful!" ”

Xu Jingchang didn't say anything, just looked at Qiu Fu, "I said Qi Guogong, do you think Baoding Hou's words are meritorious?" ”

Qiu Fu stiffened his face, but he didn't dare to speak.

He is not stupid, if he still has room for argumentation, then what the Meng family did was really angry and resentful, and the sky thundered.

"I, I'm also guilty, how can I talk nonsense."

Qi Guogong, who has always been unruly, bows down to his subordinates at this moment, and Xu Jingchang's skills are really amazing.

"Baoding Hou, you are old, naturally you don't know what is going on at home, and I have no intention of implicating...... But I hope you can calm down and don't talk nonsense and nonsense. Otherwise, if you really find out, your old man's family will not be guaranteed! ”

Meng Shan still has to speak...... At this time, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly slapped the table and was furious!

"Marquis of Baoding, I heard that you got a lot of golden silk nanmu and built an ancestral hall for your family, and you also found someone to write a genealogy for you, saying that Mencius is the ancestor of your family, are there any such things?"

Meng Shan was surprised, "I, I ......"

He muttered for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.

Zhu Gaoxu stood up all of a sudden, pointed at Meng Shan, and scolded: "Baoding Hou, at your age, you really lived in vain!" If your family can't restrain you, you're not afraid of endless disasters? ”

Meng Shan knew that he was at a loss, but he still pretended to be calm, "His Royal Highness the King of Han, the old man may be at fault, but over the years, the nobles of the court, who can not make a mistake at all?" The old man is also a member of your single-minded chamber of commerce, waving the flag and shouting for you, standing and cheering, you treat the old man like this? It's too affectionate! ”

"Phew!"

Zhu Gaoxu is not stupid, he squinted at Xu Jingchang and found that this person was holding Erlang's legs crossed, smiling ...... When Zhu Gaoxu saw this scene, the chill all over his body became even stronger.

He already knew that what Xu Jingchang was holding in his hand was really terrifying.

If it weren't for Zhu Di's Zen throne, Zhu Gaochi would have ascended the throne...... If it is true that Zhu Di dies a few years later and Zhu Gaochi succeeds to the throne, he will be able to destroy his power with Xu Jingchang at his fingertips.

It's really not that difficult.

"Marquis of Baoding, since you said so, then act according to the king's law and see what kind of crime it is!" Zhu Gaoxu didn't have a good airway.

He can only be glad that he didn't write a note casually, otherwise he would really be finished.

Seeing this scene, Meng Shan was also speechless, so he could only sit down silently.

After another moment, Wang Zhong hurried in from outside.

Seeing him coming, Zhu Gaoxu was taken aback, "What, even you are trapped?" ”

Wang Zhong didn't like to hear this, "I said His Royal Highness the King of Han, you are spewing blood, but I have followed the Duke of Dingguo for many years, strictly abiding by the law, and never exceeding the rules." You are not allowed to talk nonsense, or I will sue you for framing the ministers! ”

Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: "You don't pretend to be garlic, let me ask you, come here now, what are you going to do?" ”

Wang Zhong just snorted coldly, didn't say much to him, but bowed to Xu Jingchang and said: "Dingguo Gong, I have already found out, the Imperial History of Zhejiang Province, the Imperial History of Fujian Province, and the Imperial History of Guangdong Province, a total of more than 20 people, were implicated in the major tax evasion case, and it is difficult to escape the blame for the fact that the left capital is the imperial history of Jinzhong." I want to ask Dingguo to make a public announcement, do you want to arrest people? ”

Xu Jingchang nodded, "Arrest, no matter who is involved, all of them are arrested, you don't need to be polite." ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Zhong didn't leave.

Xu Jingchang said: "Anything else?" ”

Wang Zhong smiled: "It's okay, I guessed that Dingguo Gong would not be polite, so it has been arranged in advance, and there is no need to pass the order in the past." ”

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Jing'anhou is still reliable. ”

After Xu Jingchang finished speaking, he sat here with a relaxed face, and picked up a copy of the newspaper casually and browsed it...... And the few people present were more and more ugly and panicked.

Who knows how many more people will be implicated?

This sense of oppression is simply overwhelming.

No matter how high your title is, no matter how much credit you have, it doesn't matter at the moment...... What is the biggest?

In this Ming Dynasty, the king is the greatest!

Who can represent the king's law?

There is no doubt that it is this Dingguo Gong Xu Jingchang!

The big guy sat silently, time passed little by little, and the sun was about to set, and a difficult day might be over......

But just then, someone came in.

Hu Hu, who was promoted to the bachelor of Hanlin, approached Xu Jingchang, "Dingguo Gong, just found out, Yang Shangshu instructed to impeach Ding Guogong, saying that it is not appropriate for you to be in charge of the Tongzheng Department as a nobleman." ”

Xu Jingchang was shocked, "Is this indeed the case?" ”

"Yes, Dingguo Gong, do you want to arrest someone now?"

"Nope! What to catch! This is a righteous speech, the one who speaks is not guilty, and the one who hears is full of caution. Xu Jingchang got up and said: "We are really handling the case, not a personal vendetta, let alone taking the opportunity to retaliate." Whoever dares to break the rules and frame a good person will be doubled! ”
