In the letter, Dao Tongxian said clearly at the beginning that Zhu Liangzu wanted to kill him, and he had already asked for a decree, and he was desperate, so he could only ask him for help.

Then tell the king of Chu why Zhu Liangzu wanted to kill him.

To put it simply, since he sued Zhu Liangzu in front of the emperor for the Chinese New Year last year, Daotong, a small Panyu Zhi County, has become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of Yongjiahou.

After returning to Guangzhou, Zhu Liangzu asked his son Zhu Xian to start looking for trouble with Daotong, and his subordinates frequently went to Panyu to extort large households, smash shops, and forcibly pull people's husbands on the grounds of 'levying Yunnan co-pay', making the people miserable.

Daotong personally led people to stop Zhu Liangzu's subordinates from doing evil, but his subordinates were beaten. In a fit of rage, he sent archers to take those officers and soldiers back to the prison.

Originally, he planned to detain them for a few days and maintain the dignity of the government, so he sent them back to the capital yamen, but the next day, Zhu Xian rushed into the county government with his army and robbed the prison. Not only did they rescue the officers and soldiers, but they also released other prisoners.

Zhu Xian also poured urine on the screen of Jianghai in the county hall by the way, and then took away his official hat and threw it into the river.

Daotong was almost mad, he angrily complained to his superiors, but whether it was the Guangzhou Mansion or the judge, he didn't dare to offend Yongjiahou before. Now that Zhu Liangzu has become the general of the expedition to Nanfu and has become the commander of the recovery of Yunnan, no one is willing to wade into this troubled water.

Daotong also used the power given to him by the emperor to overstep the ranks, and Shangben impeached Yongjiahou, but the result was also mud cows into the sea.

But this Daotong is also a very stubborn person, he thinks that the evidence he collected cannot enter the emperor's eyes.

So after that, he stopped for a long time, letting Yongjiahou's son and his subordinates be humiliated, with a helpless and disheartened posture, which made Yongjiahou and his gang relax their vigilance and act more and more unscrupulously.

After a while, he continued to secretly investigate Yongjiahou and his gang, and he really found a fatal crime - he found that Zhu Liangzu received huge bribes from maritime merchants, not only acted as a smuggling umbrella, but also resold the muskets and artillery used by the imperial court to attack Yunnan to them at a high price!

This is a taboo that no emperor can tolerate, and he doesn't believe that Yongjiahou can still pass the test.

He even got conclusive evidence that Yongjiahou resold weapons and military supplies. was about to be impeached, but was discovered by Zhu Liangzu......

~~

Time back to a few days ago, Guangzhou City, the extremely luxurious Yongjiahou Mansion.

As soon as Zhu Liangzu returned home, he received a report from his son, saying that he had eaten military organs inside and out, and gave Daotong evidence of their reselling of firearms.

Zhu Liangzu couldn't care about having fun anymore when he heard this, so he immediately repelled Yingying Yanyan, and asked with a gloomy face, "How do you know?" ”

"When Foshan Wei found out that he had lost his account book, Zhu Hu tortured the officials and scribes he could reach, and soon found out who stole it." Zhu Xian said hatefully:

"Zhu Hu grabbed that military organ again, threatened the lives of his whole family, and the military organ was recruited."

"This damn Daotong, I thought he had stopped for a while, but I didn't expect it to be secretly broken!" Zhu Xian gritted his teeth and said:

"I'll take someone to copy the Panyu County Ya and arrest him back to entertain him!"

"Don't be brutal." Zhu Liangzu shook his head and said: "That guy is also registered with the emperor, and it is still a little risky to put him to death." ”

"Then it can't be left to him," Zhu Xian said anxiously: "If he is allowed to poke the matter of reselling firearms, the emperor will not spare us." ”

"I told you a long time ago, some money can't be earned, and no matter how much you give, you can't do it." Zhu Liangzu blamed his son and said, "You just don't listen!" ”

"Yes, my son was wrong. The son thought that he would only be on the accounts and recorded as destruction on the grounds that he was not qualified, and that he could resell a batch of guns and artillery on a regular basis, and there was no way to verify it at all. Zhu Xian said depressedly:

"It is said that as long as Zhu Hu takes care of his brothers and doesn't let them talk nonsense, nothing will happen. But who would have thought that this bastard couldn't control his trouser belt, and actually slept with his wife of the military organs. What can people do now, they sold him in a fit of anger. ”

As he spoke, he spat hard and said, "As a result, we were also implicated." ”

"Alas, if no one knows it, he must not do it unless he does it." Zhu Liangzu sighed and said: "How many times have I told you, when it comes to our identity, we must put safety first in doing things, but you are all deaf ears." ”

"Yes, yes, my son knows it's wrong. It's just that how to get through this level now? Zhu Xian tactically admitted his mistake.

"Salute first, then soldier." Zhu Liangzu thought about it for a while, and said in a sullen voice: "Next post, please have a meal tonight." ”

"You can take advantage of his absence in the yamen to arrange for a few gentlemen from Liangshang to look for it and see if you can get the evidence back, but it really can't be done......" After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "Just set him a fire and burn it all." ”

"Hey." Zhu Xian responded and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

~~

In that room, Panyu County Ya.

Daotong didn't know that his informant had been exposed, and he was still in the signing room, deliberating with his staff with a serious expression.

This time the evidence is conclusive, and it is also the evidence of complicity, he must bring down Zhu Liangzu and remove this harm for the country, so he writes the chapter very carefully, so as to get to the point, make a final decision, and don't even make waves like before.

The two were pondering the words when there was a knock on the door outside the door: "Master, Yongjiahou sent someone to deliver an invitation." ”

"Oh?" Daotong's expression sank, and he got up and said, "It's here." ”

After speaking, he went to the front hall to meet the guests, and after a while, he took an invitation and returned to the signing room, handed it to the staff, and said, "Yongjiahou won't receive any news, right?" ”

"Not really." The staff member pondered: "This kind of thing, even if he can detect it, it won't be so fast." ”

"Then why did he suddenly invite this official to dinner?" The Tao is the same.

"It's hard to say, but I guess there is no good banquet." The staff advised: "It's better to call it sick and not go." ”

"No, I'm going." Dao Tong said categorically: "First, you can't be looked down upon by him, and second, it's good to probe his tone and see if he knows something." ”

"Well, well." The staff thought about it, so they no longer objected: "Master, be careful." ”

"Don't worry." Dao Tong said with a smile: "This official is also an official of the imperial court, and his father and son are at most humiliated by me, and they dare not touch me at all." ”

After saying that, the two of them continued to work on the piece until the afternoon.

"Let's get here first, and wait for the official to come back in the evening to copy it." Dao Tong stood up, and after the staff had retreated, he hid the draft and the evidence he had obtained in a secret compartment under the bed. I got up again and looked at it, without the slightest flaw, and then said in a deep voice:

"Prepare a sedan chair, the official is going to the banquet!"
