When he returned to the palace the next day, Zhu Zhen changed his clothes and went to find his eldest brother, Zhu Biao said to him: "You came just in time, I will also go to my father, let's go together." ”

"Okay." The sixth nodded.

The prince saw that he had dark circles under his eyes and his complexion was a little sluggish, so he asked, "What?" Didn't sleep all night last night? ”

"Yes, the spirit that kept watch for the senior brother all night." The sixth nodded.

"You're quite affectionate." The prince was a little distressed and said, "Don't do such stupid things in the future." ”

"Hey." The sixth replied vaguely.

~~

In the Wuying Palace, Boss Zhu stretched his face and said loudly to Hu Weiyong at the bottom of the stairs: "This is a provocation, a naked provocation!" They knew that Liu Lian was the Qincha sent by us, and they still wanted to attack him, it was not against him, but against us, against our yellow book! ”

"The emperor is angry," Hu Weiyong said in a deep voice: "The cause of Liu Shenzheng's death has not yet been determined, and everything will be discussed until it is clarified." If there are really people who are lawless and dare to risk the world's greatness, they must be severely punished to set an example! ”

After a pause, he said in a low voice: "But for the minister, no one would be stupid enough to do it to a high-ranking official from the third rank in the yamen of a provincial political secretary, and it was the eldest son of the sincere uncle." This is so unconscionable! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, and then said with a slightly gloomy expression: "Check, of course you have to check, who will check?" ”

"Liu Lian is a provincial politician, and he is the eldest son of the sincere uncle, and he also has the emperor's order, so his identity is very different," Hu Weiyong said solemnly: "Of course, we must send the highest standard Qin cha to go down, and the minister thinks that this case is handled by Shen Liben, the secretary of the Criminal Department." ”

"Shen Liben? Wasn't he in the household department before, and he had just been transferred to the criminal department for a few days, could he do it? Zhu Yuanzhang groaned.

"The investigation of the case is handled by the people below, and sending him is to show the attitude of the imperial court - the emperor is very angry, and the consequences are very serious!" Hu Weiyong said loudly.

"Yes, you can." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Just let him go, let him come tomorrow, let's teach him face-to-face." ”

"Yes." Hu Weiyong responded respectfully.

~~

When Hu Weiyong came out of the Wuying Palace, he was running into the prince and the sixth child.

"Meet His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Chu." Hu Weiyong bowed and said.

"Hu Xiang." The prince smiled and bowed his head, but the sixth child didn't bird him. In the world of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, there is no such thing as vanity and wrongdoing.

The brothers entered the Wuying Palace, and the prince presented a report: "Father, Jiangxi reported urgently according to the judge, and Liu Lian, the Jiangxi political secretary, died for some reason. ”

"We already know." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a dark face: "Hu Weiyong just came to talk about this." ”

"How did he know that the provincial newspapers were no longer closed in Baizhongshu?" The prince said in a deep voice.

"He said that he heard that there was a funeral in the Chengcheng Bo Mansion and sent someone to pay tribute." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.

"He can't wait for my master's whole family to die, and he will sacrifice himself? It's good not to congratulate you. "The sixth child is not angry:

"I'm afraid that if I let the eldest brother say it first, I will lose the initiative!"

"We know you have a relationship with him, but you can't catch it and bite it." Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "No matter how awesome Hu Weiyong is, he is not alone in the bad things in the world, and the affairs in Jiangxi may not be related to him." ”

"He rushed to report it, which means that he has a ghost in his heart!" The sixth man insisted on it: "Because my senior brother was killed by someone, and he didn't fall into the water at all!" ”

"How do you know?" Zhu Yuanzhang's face was gloomy and terrifying. This was also his initial conjecture, but it was dispelled by Hu Weiyong's rhetoric.

The sixth brother told the old thief about his and Liu Bowen's speculation, and finally said in a deep voice: "The two guards arranged by Erchen did not follow the senior brother on this day only one day a year, and he had an accident on this day. To say that it is a coincidence is too insulting to people's intelligence. ”

"......" Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, paced around the hall with his hands behind his back, and shook his head for a long time before he shook his head and said: "You are just speculating, and it is not enough to show that Liu Lian was killed by someone, let alone prove that this matter is related to Hu Weiyong." ”

"It's simple, Erchen will go to Nanchang and find out!" Zhu Zhen is full of confidence because he has accumulated successful experience in Suzhou.

"How did you find out?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Arrest all of them, and then go to the punishment, continue to be punished if they don't recruit, and then confirm each other's confessions, and if there are those who dare to lie, they will be punished again, and they can ask for anything." Zhu Zhen clenched his fist fiercely and said viciously.

"Fuck off, that time it was because of the civil uprising that you didn't get attacked." Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Now I just suspect the death of a person who participates in politics, you will arrest all the high-ranking officials of a province, and you will wait to be attacked by the masses." ”

"Erchen is not afraid, I am the dignified King of Chu and the King of the Sea, I can withstand it!" The sixth child is very stinky.

"It's not a question of whether you're afraid or not, it's that you probably won't be able to find out, the real mastermind behind the scenes." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "The officials of Jiangxi Province, why don't you kill them all, but who is opposing our yellow book, we must find out!" ”

"Then Dad, how do you check it?" The sixth said in a muffled voice.

"We can agree to let you go to Jiangxi," Zhu Yuanzhang walked up to him and looked at his son, who was as tall as himself.

"But what?" The sixth understands the old thief.

"But you can't go with great fanfare, you have to pay a private visit, go to Nanchang quietly, and don't alarm anyone. In this way, they will perform unscrupulously, you can see their faces for us - especially the Lord Shen, if he handles the case impartially. If you help them shield the murderer together, it means that this case is really related to Hu Weiyong. You will arrest the man surnamed Shen and the other convicts back to the capital. ”

"It's no problem to have a private interview with Weifu," the sixth child was excited about this proposal, he didn't watch the 'Kang Mazi Weifu Hunting Yanji' when he was a child. I'm still looking forward to this kind of thing.

"However, Erchen is in the people, and it is not a problem to collect some public information, but how can he contact high-ranking officials at the provincial level?" But he is not stupid, he knows that this will not fulfill his father's entrustment at all.

"Don't worry, Jiangxi is the prince's person, and he won't get involved with them." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.

"Oh? Is it? The sixth looked at the eldest brother.

"That's right." The prince nodded: "After the empty seal case, there was a shortage of officials in the world, so my father asked me to recommend a group of virtuous people, that Zeng Tai was a subordinate official of the East Palace, and I knew him well, so I directly promoted him from the seventh rank to the third rank according to the inspector." ”

"Rely on ......," Lao Liuxin said, it seems that individual efforts really can't compare with the course of history. However, Zeng Tai was selected by the prince and rose to prominence, so he should position himself as a hardcore princeling.

"I'll write him a letter and explain the situation, and I'll tell him how to give me another joint." The prince said again.

"Understood." The sixth nodded.
