Chapter 49: Hu Xiang's Riotous Operation
The Golden Book Iron Coupon is a privileged certificate awarded by Zhu Yuanzhang to the heroes in imitation of the Tang system.
It is engraved with gold letters on the merits, titles received, treatments, and the number of times he has been spared death.
Naturally, the common people can't see this thing, but for these guards, there is no deterrent effect at all.
"Put it away, Brother Liao, it seems that no one has this iron card." Mei Yiquan said: "The edict is very clear, just asked us to search for evidence, didn't ask us to arrest people, let alone kill people, and I don't need your iron card to avoid death." ”
Zhu Xian also walked to Liao Quan's side and persuaded in a low voice: "Now we are here to search to ensure that your whole family is not disturbed, and the valuable things in the house, one less thing is mine, is it now?" ”
"This ......" Liao Quan didn't expect the other party to be so righteous.
"If it were someone else, it would be hard to say." He sighed again and said: "We are all families of heroes, no matter what is found, the emperor will still be lightly punished in the end." ”
"Yes, the pass can't fight against the emperor anymore." Mei Yi also nodded and said, "Otherwise, you won't regret it." ”
"Alas......" Under the persuasion of the two of you, Liao Quan could only bow his head and wave his hand to order Jia Ding to get out of the way.
"Let's get started." Mei Yi instructed the guards and soldiers: "Remember what we said, keep your hands and feet clean!" ”
"Yes!" The officers and men responded and rushed to the various courtyards under the leadership of their respective small flags.
said that it was not harassing, but the screams of the women, the angry scolding of the men, and the beating of ping-pong still inevitably sounded everywhere in the Hou Mansion......
"These bunnies!" Zhu Xian, who was having tea with Liao Quan in the front hall, scolded, got up and said, "I'll take a look at the back and let them all be careful!" ”
"Well, go ahead." Mei Yi nodded, took a sip of tea, and sat firmly like a mountain.

Zhu Xian came to the back house and went straight to Liao Yongzhong's study.
His left guard soldiers had already guarded the door, and when they saw that the commander was coming, they hurriedly lifted the thick curtains.
Zhu Xian approached the luxuriously decorated study, and suddenly a wave of heat came to his face.
Liao Yongzhong's mansion is indeed extravagant, all rooms, whether there are people or not, are lit with charcoal basins all day long, so that he and his family will not be frozen in any room at any time.
The study was already in a mess, and several of his cronies and soldiers were taking down the books, letters, calligraphy and paintings on the shelves, tables, and arhat beds and packing them.
"How's the catch?" Zhu Xian asked.
"The most valuable thing is these letters." His younger brother Zhu Yu sent a wooden box to him.
"Well, I'll see." Zhu Xian quickly flipped through the box, and then found two letters from them, both written by Liu Ji.
Zhu Xian took out a letter and looked at it, it was Liu Ji who thanked Liao Yongzhong for sending gifts repeatedly, and said that he lived a simple life and didn't need those valuables, so he sent it back with the letter, and asked him not to send it again.
He took out another one, and it was almost the same, it was all the goddess's refusal to lick the dog, and it didn't take a word more.
I didn't expect the arrogant Deqinghou to be so humble in front of Old Man Liu. Zhu Xian was secretly happy, and then remembered Hu Xiang's instructions, and he couldn't be happy.
Hu Weiyong asked him to see if he could find the correspondence between Liao Yongzhong and Liu Bowen.
If there is, see if there is any strong material for the two to hook up.
Obviously, these two letters, at most, are Deqinghou's unrequited love, not hookups......
Fortunately, Hu Xiang also expected it and told him that there is no need to panic in this case, we have an operation.
When his men went out with the suitcase, only his brothers were left in the study.
"No one has read these two letters, has they?" Zhu Xian asked in a low voice.
"No, I received the letters myself, and they haven't even read them." Zhu Yu laughed quietly: "A group of blind people are actually looking at it in vain. ”
Zhu Xian gave a look, and Zhu Yu guarded the door, watching the movement outside.
Then Zhu Xian threw the two handwritten letters from Liu Ji into the charcoal basin.
The blue flames turned orange at once, and the envelopes and letterheads quickly turned gray and curled......
Zhu Xian hurriedly used fire tongs to take out the two letter clips that had been burned most of them, and shook them vigorously to extinguish the fire.
~~
At dusk, the sun sets over the Purple Mountain.
There is no lamp in the Wuying Palace, and it looks a little gloomy.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang was here all afternoon, discussing something with Hu Weiyong, no one was allowed to come in.
It wasn't until Cao Xiu came back with a few large boxes that Gonggong Wu hurriedly led the small firefighters in to light the lamp.
The palace lamps were lit one after another, illuminating the emperor's face in a dark and uncertain manner.
"Superior, it's all here." Cao Xiu clenched his fists and bowed.
"Then, Wechen retired first." Hu Weiyong retired.
"You stay, let's watch." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't let him go, and then said to Cao Xiu: "Read the letter first." ”
Cao Xiu hurriedly presented the wooden box.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and Gonggong Wu hurriedly retreated with the small firefighters.
The emperor opened the box, but he was stunned. "What's going on?"
Hu Weiyong took a closer look, only to see that there were still some blackened and scorched pieces of paper on the thick stack of letters.
"Oh, this is Zhu Xian found it from the charcoal basin in Deqinghou's study, and when he saw that there were words on it, he put it in one piece." Cao Xiuyu reports.
"Are you there?" Zhu Yuanzhang put on reading glasses, carefully pinched up a fragment, and looked at it carefully.
"Back to the emperor, Weichen is not present." Cao Xiu's forehead was slightly sweaty and said: "The iron law set by the emperor, no matter when, there must be one person on duty on the left and right captains to guard the palace ban, and violators will be severely punished." Therefore, Weichen must stay in the palace. ”
"Isn't Liu Ying also in the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion?" Zhu Yuanzhang pulled his glasses down and looked at Cao Xiu with gloomy eyes.
"Liu Duwei is in the dungeon of the inner official prison, and he can't leave an inch, and Weichen thinks that he can't fulfill his duty to guard the palace ban." Cao Xiu lowered his head even lower.
"Brainless." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head speechlessly, and did not delve further.
Cao Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He is the son of Zhu Yuanzhang's godmother Aunt Wang, and Aunt Wang and Liu Jizu helped Zhu Chongba through the most difficult time, so Boss Zhu was not generally tolerant of Liu Ying and him.
It's just that sometimes, it's not a good thing to be too forgiving.
Zhu Yuanzhang exhaled turbid breath and began to piece together the fragments, and asked Hu Weiyong to help too.
Tea kung fu, the parts that can be spelled are all spelled out.
"This is a letter from Uncle Cheng Cheng to him." Zhu Yuanzhang took off his glasses.
"The minister thinks so, too." Hu Weiyong hurriedly said: "And judging from the payment, there are at least two letters." ”
"What about the content?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"There's so much missing. Even if I looked at it, I guessed that Chengyi Bo received a gift from him and wrote a letter to express his gratitude, and I couldn't guess the rest. ”
"Well, almost." Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his tightly locked eyebrows and said, "The burned part is the point." ”
"Let's look at the other letters first." Hu Weiyong looked unconcerned.
"It's fine." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and the two monarchs and ministers poured the letters in the box on the imperial case, one by one.
These letters are probably divided into three kinds, one is with Xungui, the second is written to him by the Chaohu brothers, and the third is the family letter.
These people also have one thing in common, that is, they are very vulgar, and they are not afraid of heaven and earth.
The letter came out one after another, and there were many disrespectful words about Boss Zhu, and Boss Zhu was so angry that he scolded his mother for not knowing how many times!
