In Kunning Palace, the two brothers of the Zhang family knelt on the ground and cried, and they had tears and snot.

Sleeping in his own house, he didn't recruit anyone and didn't provoke anyone, when suddenly a gang of robbers broke in, put on a sack without saying a word, and then beat him.

It's not enough to beat people, but also robbed a lot of things from the house.

The dignified uncle, the emperor's relatives, a marquis, and an uncle, were actually attacked by robbers at night.

Is there still a royal law?

Is there still a law?

Zhang Heling and the two looked at Emperor Hongzhi sitting in the middle, Zhu Youzhu half-closed his eyes, it was difficult to see any thoughts and thoughts from his face alone, and he didn't seem to have any intention of speaking, the two looked at their sister again, and cried bitterly,

"Sister, you have to make the decision for us, those robbers are simply not human, they are obviously unreasonable, we didn't dare to shout, they beat us, not only beat, but also beat with sacks, and also snatched a lot of things, calligraphy and paintings on the wall, the copper stove on the table, the golden hairpin we tied our hair, and even a pair of teacups for drinking tea on the table."

Who doesn't know up and down in this capital, Queen Zhang treats her two brothers as treasures, watching the two of them cry and cry, telling the bad deeds they have suffered.

Empress Zhang was angry and angry, angry that there were such ferocious bandits in this good place in Beijing, who were so rampant that they broke into the Hou Mansion to commit murder.

The angry two brothers are purely cowardly soft eggs, but they cry like bears when they encounter such a stump.

"What are you crying about, what do big men look like when they cry!"

Hate iron does not become steel scolded, Empress Zhang turned her head to look at Zhu Youjiao, aware of this gaze, Emperor Hongzhi knew that he could no longer watch the excitement, a little brewing emotions, and soothed: "Don't worry, I will make the decision for you, this grand master actually has such a vicious bandit, once this group of thieves is caught, I will not spare it!" ”

After making his position and determination to severely punish the thieves, Emperor Hongzhi asked, "I ask you, where did the gang of thieves flee after committing their murder?" ”

"I don't know."

"After they fled, didn't they call their family to arrest them?"

"Shouting, it was after they fled, we waited a while before shouting."

Hearing this, Zhu Youjiao's brows furrowed, "Why don't you call out to the people in your family as soon as they flee, so that even if you can't catch them, at least you know where they fled to." ”

Zhang Heling was not ambiguous, and said with a crying voice: "We don't dare, for fear that those thieves will hear and turn back and beat us." ”

"Yes, they have knives in their hands, but they are long."

Emperor Hongzhi's cheeks twitched, and he scolded in his heart, and Empress Zhang's face was not very good-looking, which was really embarrassing.

After a slight silence, Zhu Youzhu groaned: "This gang of thieves has robbed you of your goods, and the calligraphy and painting cups and cups that have been stolen from your homes will definitely be used to get rid of them.

This is the best way that he, the emperor, can think of, and it is also the most trouble-free method.

A group of thieves broke into the Hou Mansion, and when there was no one in the middle of the night, the streets of the entire Jingshi were full of calculations and could not get together a hundred people, except for the guards who fought the guard, that is, the sergeants on patrol, these people could not take care of the entire Jingshi Shuntian Mansion.

And these two living treasures are still as timid as mice, they don't know where the thieves are going, and they don't organize people to catch the thieves at the first time, but they run to the palace and cry.

After such a long delay, the gang of thieves is afraid that they have already run away without a trace.

It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

So taking this method is the best choice, but Emperor Hongzhi doesn't understand it a little, there are so many big families in Beijing, and there are even more people with solid family backgrounds, and any one you choose can rob money, but why do you choose your two brothers-in-law?

Could it be that this gang of thieves also looks down on these two goods?

At this time, in the ruined temple in the southern suburbs of the capital, the gang of thieves was roasting the fire.

The fire was lit with calligraphy and paintings, and a few sets of wet night clothes and liners were thrown next to the fire, ready to be burned as soon as they were dry.

Several people were very careful in their work, no matter how much the calligraphy and painting were worth, they all burned it, and the stolen incense burner, tea cup, golden hairpin and other things were not left.

When swimming out of the city along the Yongding River, as long as you spread your hands, these silver-patterned objects worth hundreds of taels or even thousands of taels together will sink to the bottom of the river.

Although the silver two are tempting, they are still important.

Although the matter was done seamlessly, the leading brother still told him very harshly: "Everyone is good to remember, you must rot this matter in your stomach, and you can't reveal it to anyone, even if it's your father, even if it's your daughter-in-law, otherwise we all have to go to the West Fourth Archway." ”

In terms of prosperity, the West Fourth Archway may be second only to the Qianmen Street outside the Chengtian Gate, but behind the prosperity of the West Fourth Archway there is a blood.

Because it is prosperous, because it is a commercial area, because there are many people, because it is an example, this area is also a place of execution, and beheading, Ling Chi, and waist beheading are all carried out here.

In the future, Liu Jin will be cut by a thousand knives here, and then there will be a Dudu surnamed Yuan, who will also follow in his footsteps here.

When the moisture on the wet clothes evaporated, a few people threw them into the fire, and after burning them and disposing of the ashes, they went out of the ruined temple in dry clothes.

————————————————

Early the next morning, Xia Yuan got up early, today is the day of the feast month, the Ming Dynasty's feast is divided into two kinds, one is the day, the other is the month.

The daily lecture is more flexible, when the emperor remembers, when he can do it, and the personnel are not fixed, it is very arbitrary, you can simply find a few knowledgeable Hanlin to come in and talk about it, you can also call a few more people.

But the monthly talk is different, this is customized, once a month, not only the emperor and the crown prince are present, but also the three elders of the cabinet, as well as some bigwigs of the six ministries, and then all the Hanlin officials.

Xia Yuan's Horse Washing Bureau is only part-time, and he is essentially Hanlin, so he also got Wenhua Hall to participate in this so-called monthly lecture.

Of course, his grade is relatively low, since he became an official, he has participated in the lecture twice this month, and each time he only listens to the lecture in the crowd, and most of the people who give the lecture are those who are serving and studying.

Although he looked down on Zhu Houzhao to watch people put dishes on the plate, who was not a double-standard person?

In the East Palace, after Xia Yuan usually woke up, he had to hold the little camelina for a while, kissing and touching to take advantage, and then get up until the time was about the same, and then slowly wash and dress for breakfast, and finally step on a little late.

Today, catching up with the day of Wenhua Dianyue, he didn't dare to sleep lazy, but he kissed his little daughter-in-law twice on the cheek in a daze, and after dressing and washing, he didn't eat breakfast and went out of the house.

There's no way, whoever made Emperor Hongzhi a workaholic, got up earlier than the chickens.

If it arrives after the emperor, it will be called contempt for the emperor, and the emperor himself may not care, but those ministers are good to get along with?
