Chapter XXVIII

Although Zhu Song did not go to the scene to see it in person, he learned from the letter that Zhang Tiezhu's eldest brother and mother had rotted into skeletons.

It takes at least three months or so for a person to die and decay into a skeleton, the house collapses, the yard and the house are overgrown with weeds.

But three months will not corrode and collapse the house that is inhabited every year, let alone grow clumps of weeds in the house.

This can only show one problem, the mother and son have been dead for a long time, and it is roughly estimated that it will be at least more than a year.

If it is more than a year, the last time Zhang Tiezhu wrote a letter to his family was before last year's Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is less than a year since he received the letter, then who wrote this letter?

There must be someone behind this, if it weren't for Zhu Song personally finding the prefect of Jinan Prefecture this time and asking him to send a letter, I'm afraid that they would still be in the dark.

Now Zhu Song is entangled in whether to tell Zhang Tiezhu the news.

With the violent temper of that stupid big man, if he knew that his eldest brother and mother were dead, and had been dead for a long time, he wrote letters to his family and sent money, and someone would still write back to him.

Zhang Tiezhu will definitely be furious, he doesn't care about anything, he takes the knife and goes home to see, but he is afraid that he will cause several or even a dozen more lives.

Liaodong has now left himself, but he can't leave Zhang Tiezhu anymore, if he leaves Zhang Tiezhu, only Lao Cao alone can't lead so many troops, what if Wara fights again?

But this matter can't be just settled, in broad daylight, people don't report when they die, and they pretend to be secretly alive, and secretly receive the silver taels of Zhang Tiezhu's kind filial piety to the old lady and the eldest brother, this thing is simply too bad!

Zhu Song knew that he couldn't wait until he returned to Liaodong to deal with this matter, but he was afraid that when he returned to Liaodong, the evil person would have already run away, and even this time it was possible to startle the snake, and the top priority was to let the Criminal Department immediately send someone to investigate, and to investigate fiercely.

Thinking of this, Zhu Song got up and went to the yamen of the criminal department.

The yamen of the Criminal Department is busy at the moment, and Lord Wei Zewei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is reviewing the major cases in recent years at this moment.

The major cases in recent years are tantamount to last year's Song Guogong case and the Lanyu case a few years ago.

That's when someone came to report.

"My lord, His Royal Highness King Han has come down."

"His Royal Highness King Han? Come on in! ”

Wei Ze was about to get up and go to greet His Royal Highness King Han, when he saw the file of the Song Guogong case on the table, he thought about it and put it away.

Zhu Song and Wei Ze sat down one after another.

Wei Ze asked straight to the point: "Your Highness is not often in Beijing, this time I came back to get married, and I came to the Yamen of the Criminal Department in less than three days, I think there must be business to come!" ”

Zhu Song nodded: "What my lord said is right, it is indeed a business matter." ”

Zhu Song said and took out the letter in his arms, handed it to Wei Ze, and then explained the cause and effect.

"Lord Wei, this matter is not big, but the nature is still very bad, this Zhang Tiezhu is a brave general under the command of this king, in Liaodong can be described as a great achievement, the nine-foot-tall man is very filial, because he is far away from home, Liaodong is my Ming Dynasty's side hammer, there are Warat cavalry harassment all the year round, so he can't move, and he hasn't returned to his hometown for several years."

"Zhang Tiezhu has a violent temperament, if he knows that his brother and mother are starving to death, he will definitely understand that the money he has sent to his family for so many years has been greedy, and he is afraid that with his temper, he will inevitably raise a knife and kill his hometown, and then he is afraid that it will not be as simple as killing a few people."

Wei Ze is the secretary of the Criminal Department, and after listening to Zhu Song's explanation, he already has a general direction for the investigation of this case in his heart.

"Your Highness, the subordinate in this case believes that it is nothing more than two kinds of people doing it, the first is the villagers in the township, or the neighbors who know their family, and the second may be officials."

"If His Royal Highness has sent someone from Jinan Mansion to deliver the letter, but the house has collapsed and the two people are already dead, then I am afraid that it has already startled the snake."

Zhu Song nodded: "This king also understands this matter, but this matter still needs to be investigated, and this thief who has secretly hidden other people's money must be taken out, and this king will break his body into ten thousand pieces to vent this evil breath in his heart." ”

Wei Ze got up and arched his hand towards Zhu Song: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the lower officials will definitely find out about this matter!" ”

Zhu Song also got up and arched his hand towards Wei Ze: "There is Lord Lao Wei, this matter is not only the matter of this king alone, nor is it just the matter of the general, this matter is related to all the soldiers of my Ming Dynasty, if I can't give my own soldiers an understanding, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the soldiers!" ”

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the lower officials understand, and they will definitely give General Zhang justice!"

After Zhu Song said goodbye, Wei Ze sighed, thought about it, and said to others.

"Go and call the Dali Siqing to the official......

……

Three days later, the Han Wang's Mansion was lit up with lights, and the happy word was hung on the door.

The four joys of life, the long drought and the rain, the old acquaintance in another country, the candle night in the cave room, and the title of the gold list.

Han Wang Zhu Song doesn't need the title of the gold list, but this cave room still has to go on a candle night, and the marriage ceremony of ordinary people is a festive picture, but the prince's marriage ceremony is more exquisite.

Since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the "Book of Rites" has determined six kinds of etiquette in the process from marriage proposal to completion of marriage, namely, acceptance, asking for names, naji, acceptance, invitation, and personal welcome.

The first five processes basically don't have to worry about Zhu Song, when Emperor Hongwu decided to marry his twenty sons, these things have already been arranged one by one, and even the emperor grandson went to ask for the name himself.

And today is the last item of this marriage, that is, to welcome the marriage, the emperor appointed the minister to the bride's house with a holy decree, and the daughter of Feng Cheng, the right governor of the right military capital of the palace of the granddaughter of Yingguo, was the princess of Han, and was canonized by the female official.

Emperor Hongwu has an order that all my Ming women can wear phoenix crowns when they get married, and Zhu Song, as a prince, must also wear the crown of Jiuliu.

At this moment, Zhu Song, the king of Han, was wearing a dress and a crown, standing at the gate of the palace, watching the carriage of the relatives, and slowly arrived at the gate of the palace.

A maid stepped forward to lift the curtain of the carriage and invited out the bride, but the prince and the bride did not need to cover the red hijab, so Zhu Song saw at a glance what his future daughter-in-law looked like.

Don't say it, don't say it, your future daughter-in-law is really good-looking, gentle and generous, and has an elegant temperament.

Zhu Song was stunned for a while, and Feng Miao raised his head after getting out of the carriage and also saw Zhu Song, the king of Han.

At this time, Zhu Song was only sixteen years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth, and he was a beautiful young man.
