Chapter 269: Investigation of the case
Zhu Yunwen was a little chaotic in his mind, Wang Bi committed suicide with the sword given by his father? But what does this mean?
Wasn't this sword originally the sword commonly used by Wang Bi?
Zhu Yunwen was silent for a long time, and said with red circles in his eyes.
"My father can show sincerity and show kindness to his subordinates, which I have not done now, and I will definitely learn from my father."
Lan Yu finally got impatient, I told you so much, you can hear this? What a complete idiot!
"Your Royal Highness, I understand what I mean! Wang Bi was forced to death in the name of the late prince! ”
Zhu Yunwen's face turned from white to red, from red to white, and finally only a layer of blue and gray was left on his face, Zhu Yunwen knew very well the meaning behind Lan Yu's accusation.
The person who can force Wang Bi to death under the banner of his father will only be in the East Palace, he is doubting himself or other people in the East Palace.
Zhu Yunwen said with some trepidation.
"Is this what He Qiu said? This matter was provoked by He Qiu from the beginning, and it must have been maliciously slandered behind his back! ”
Lan Yu became more and more disappointed, and said lightly.
"This secret is known only to those of us who were given the sword together, and now some of us have died in battle, but there are still people alive! But only He Qiu couldn't know, and even King Yan didn't know! ”
At the beginning, Lan Yu was very wary of Zhu Di, and always felt that Zhu Di would rob the position of the prince, of course he would not casually talk to Zhu Di about it.
Under his influence, those people in the East Palace have never been particularly friendly with Zhu Di.
Zhu Yunwen squirmed his lower lip and didn't say anything.
Lan Yu's meaning is that it can only be done by the people of the East Palace, but these people can't do a good job under their command, why should they be greedy for this bit of military rations?
Zhu Yunwen bit his lips openly, and finally said through gritted teeth.
"Such people are mad! Damn it! ”
Lan Yu looked at Zhu Yunwen, who was a little crazy, and said with a sigh.
"Therefore, the crown prince can get everyone's allegiance, is it entirely because of His Majesty's favor? Not really! Because the prince is generous and sincere, everyone is willing to die for him. ”
"As the descendant of the crown prince, you must follow the example of the prince!"
"Okay, I'll just say so much, what to do with the rest, you go back to the East Palace and think about it yourself."
After Lan Yu finished speaking, he walked to the front yard of the Hou Mansion, leaving Zhu Yunwen standing alone in the arsenal.
He Qiu looked at the nobles around him and said to Lan Yu with a bitter face.
"Huaixi Xungui has never been so united, and I don't know what His Majesty thinks of today's events."
Lan Yu rubbed her temples a little tiredly, things have come to this point, Lan Yu has no way out, but what He Qiu said is also the truth.
Since the death of Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, Huaixi Xungui has no one who can really take the lead.
Especially after the Hu Weiyong case and Li Shanchang's case, everyone was scared of being killed, and honestly shrunk up, pretending to be harmless to humans and animals, and lingered there.
Lan Yu was able to bring these Huaixi nobles together this time, first, they were veterans in the army, and they were almost all dead, and the remaining Tang He and Feng Sheng had not been in charge of the military for many years.
In the army, Lan Yu has the highest prestige, and there is part of the prince's legacy, and everyone can trust him.
And then there is Wang Bi's death, which really makes some nobles feel sad that the rabbit is dead, although there were some unjust cases under Zhu Yuanzhang's rule before, but in the end it can be said.
But this time in Wang Bi's case, everyone is not blind, Wang Bi must not be involved, he has a certain responsibility, but he is absolutely not guilty of death, and he still dies of suicide so helplessly.
As for Wenchen, he has been killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, how dare he show his head at this time, he has never held a knife in the end, and his courage is worse than that of the warriors.
But this doesn't mean that these people don't have expectations for Lan Yu's approach in their hearts, although they don't dare to come forward, but when they see someone who dares to come forward, they are mostly supportive in their hearts.
However, the group of clear streams around the grandson Zhu Yunwen had no brains, and only thought about seizing power after the grandson succeeded to the throne, and they were the most opposed to changing the law.
If these forces are not good, they will collide and evolve into the largest political dispute in the last years of Hongwu.
Lan Yu was also a little helpless about the current situation in his heart, and he could only hope that Zhu Yunwen would really be able to properly investigate his East Palace.
"Anyway, the case must be investigated! This piece, for the time being, I want you to do it, it is also your responsibility, our nobles will help you, we don't ask for anything else, we just hope to return Wang Bi's innocence. ”
He Qiu nodded, also interested.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang is old now, but the tiger is old does not mean that he will not eat people, this time He Qiu followed Lan Yu to mix together, and made such a big thing, I don't know what Zhu Yuanzhang will do.
He Qiu also smiled bitterly in his heart, and led Zhu Yuanzhang's order to pick up Lan Yu and return to Beijing, but it turned out to be such a big thing, but it was really ......
However, Lan Yu is not afraid, and plans to stake his entire net worth with his life, how can He Qiu, who has Zhu Di as his backing, be afraid?
He Qiu shook his spirits, and with the brocade guards under his hands, he vowed to turn the entire Taicang system upside down!
After their investigation, Wang Bi himself has no problems at all, and even Wang Bi's family is very low-key and has not been involved in these things.
This is good news, but Taicang's problem is much more serious.
Civilian warehouses aside, He Qiu took the lead in the more than 20 warehouses where military rations were stored, leading his subordinates to check them one by one.
Looking at He Qiu's posture, he vowed not to give up until he reached his goal, and finally someone panicked and tried to burn the sky and destroy the evidence.
He Qiu was overjoyed, what he wanted was this effect, as long as He Qiu kept exerting pressure, there would always be fools who would mess with themselves.
"Wang Shen! Bring the burner up, I'll interrogate it myself, and I'll keep all the records in that storehouse!" If something goes wrong, be careful that I peel you! ”
Wang Shen was also excited, patted his chest and replied.
"My lord, don't worry, if something goes wrong, I'll screw my head off and kick it for you!"
He Qiu took matters into his own hands and tortured the warehouse official guarding the warehouse, and in the end, this person finally couldn't help it and confided in the situation.
This reselling of new grain had been going on for almost a decade since before he took office.
He was not willing to bear all the faults, so he tried to destroy the evidence.
"Ten years ago? Impossible, right? ”
Wang Shen's eyes were as red as a rabbit, and he said beside He Qiu.
He Qiu nodded, ten years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang was in his prime, and there were still several big cases in the DPRK and China, which pig's head dared to commit crimes against the wind?
"This man is not honest, you continue to serve him well!"
It didn't take long for the household department to hear that in a military warehouse full of old grain, the sacks of Hongwu's eighteenth year were found, and they were all about to rot.
In other words, at the latest, it is something that appears from the eighteenth year of Hongwu?
