Zhu Di's words shocked Liu's expression, and he muttered at a loss for a while.

Seeing that Zhu Di's expression was getting worse and worse, Liu was panicked, and if he really wanted to let him sue the emperor with "The Great Message", I am afraid that it would be a disaster of death.

Looking at this person's appearance of not learning and unskilled, he is obviously a ruffian and hooligan, this kind of person is in a hurry, and he can indeed do everything.

She settled down and persuaded politely: "Why should you be in a hurry, this matter is indeed the eldest master's breach of trust, but it is by no means intentional, but there is an accident in the court, and I can't take care of it for the time being." ”

"Hehe, now that it's a matter of events, what do you say about my old man's affairs?"

Zhu Di was unforgiving, his attitude was tough and arrogant, he stared at Liu directly, and said: "Mrs. Zhao is trying to prevaricate Lao Tzu, what are you doing with these excuses?" If you want to delay time, then you don't have to, Lao Tzu will make a lot of noise directly in front of your door later, and see who can get it! ”

This is what officials are most afraid of, now it is Hongwu ruling the world, if someone really wants to make a big noise at the door, and Emperor Shangbing is detected by the Jinyi guard, then it will be suffered.

This is not like the later generations, who can send someone to kill the troublemaker, and if they really want to kill it, it is tantamount to having no three hundred taels of silver here.

In addition, it is located at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and every move is watched from above, and the slightest outrage will attract suspicion.

Because of this, Zhu Di is suspicious of the content of the secret, and being able to embeze and accept bribes under his father's nose is not ordinary.

It's just that after coming here, Zhu Di's performance made Zhu Di feel disappointed, and he actually started to sell his official position, accept bribes from it, and use his power for personal gain.

This is honest and honest on the surface, but in fact it is a fly camp dog, a seemingly dilapidated portal, and there is still a gold border hidden inside.

Zhu Di became more and more impatient, anger ignited in his heart, and his appearance was even more terrifying.

Although the poor Liu family is from a large family, after all, the female stream, where has she seen such a battle, and there is a look of horror on her face.

Facing Zhu Di, who had experienced the sea of corpses and blood, she completely lost her previous calm and calmness, and just wanted to send this plague god away as soon as possible, and said: "Your guest is angry, the concubine will handle this matter properly, and there will be a reply within three days." ”

"Okay, since Mrs. Zhao said so, I will believe you again! But the old man is timid, what's the use of asking for an official the size of a sesame seed? Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil, Mrs. Zhao said, how much silver? ”

Zhu Di's face gradually softened, and he showed a bit of greed, no different from the once proud nouveau riche, Liu saw it, and despised it in her heart, but if there was money coming to the door, she naturally would not refuse.

In addition, Zhu Di said some details that only insiders knew, and Liu also relaxed his vigilance and said with a smile: "Your guests have a good appetite, but they go further, but it will cost a lot of silver to make a point." ”

"What are you doing so verbose, thinking that Lao Tzu can't afford to pay for the silver?"

Zhu Di's sneering appearance made the Liu family very happy, so he opened a hand, gestured, and said: "Five thousand taels, ensure that the distinguished guests can be proud of officialdom." ”

As soon as this number came out, Zhan Hui behind him was stunned, and a cold sweat flowed down his heart, good guy, five thousand taels, this head doesn't know how many times he can move home.

Sixty taels is enough to kill once, and five thousand taels have to be cut with a thousand knives, this family is really a lion's mouth, and I don't know how to write dead words at all.

Zhu Di squinted his eyes slightly, and said in his heart that this transaction is a quick money, and one piece of silver is five thousand taels of silver.

He doesn't have so much money, and Zhan Hui can't have it, the two of them add up to about ten taels of silver, and they can't afford to pay this account.

However, Zhu Di is also a wonderful person, and under the pretext that the past is not finished, he said: "Five thousand taels is just a small amount of money, but what Mrs. Zhao promised me has not been done yet, if it can be solved together in three days, I will give five thousand taels with both hands." ”

"Then it's settled, and you can't go back."

"Hehe, repentance?" Zhu Di got up and smiled, "It's only five thousand taels, it's worth Lao Tzu's repentance, but Mrs. Zhao don't forget to do things, there is no result after three days, Lao Tzu will not be polite!" ”

Liu smiled and said, "Please rest assured, the concubine will never dare to delay, and when the eldest master comes back, she will do it immediately." ”

Zhu Di and Zhan Hui had no intention of staying, so they rejected Liu's kindness, walked out of the small courtyard, and after a few turns, they found a noodle stall on the side of the road and sat down.

ordered two bowls of Yangchun noodles, Zhu Di and Zhan Hui ate a full meal, and after solving their appetites, they talked while walking.

"Chen Wan didn't expect that Zhao Mian would be able to accept a bribe of 5,000 taels once he was corrupt, which is really terrifying."

Zhu Di hated this kind of behavior, his face was not good, and he said: "It is really an unforgivable crime to deceive the king, Zhao Mian, as a secretary of the ministry, should be honest and law-abiding, and it is really chilling to do such things behind his back." ”

Zhan Hui also sighed when he heard this, he was thinking about his meager income, and it was really difficult to feed a large family.

If it weren't for the dual jobs, he could receive two salaries, and he would probably only be able to live in such a dilapidated place.

Now that he has been fined for half a year, it can be regarded as a nerve-wracking thing for him, as for corruption, he really doesn't dare, lest the nine clans not be protected.

However, these words could not be mentioned in front of Zhu Di, Zhan Hui didn't want to be bored, so he said: "The minister just thinks it's strange, why can Zhao Mian hide for so long, and only now has he been discovered?" ”

Zhu Di is also deeply curious, it stands to reason that he, as the head of the household, has been paid much attention to, and once there is any trouble, he will definitely be known.

Besides, Jin Yiwei is not eating dry rice? At the foot of this Son of Heaven, the base camp of Jinyiwei can still give people a loophole.

"There must be something strange about this matter, not to mention that his house is so dilapidated, it doesn't look like a place where dirt can be hidden, obviously Zhao Mian has other mansions outside, otherwise it will never be possible to hide people's eyes."

Zhu Di recalled for a moment and determined his thoughts, but at the moment he was not sure where Zhao Mian hid the stolen silver so that he would not be discovered.

After thinking about it, Zhu Di didn't have much of a clue, so he asked, "Master Zhan, do you know what Zhao Mian likes to do on weekdays?" ”

Zhan Hui shook his head when he heard this, and said: "This Weichen really doesn't know, although the six departments are colleagues, they don't have much personal relationship except for the last court. ”

"Okay, these things can only be left to Jinyiwei to do, you and I should go back to the palace first and inform my father of this matter."

Zhu Di didn't think much about it, and he didn't stop at Yingtian for more, and rushed back to the Forbidden City with Zhan Hui, and explained the whole thing clearly in the Wuying Palace.

"What Su said is true, Zhao Mian is indeed corrupt and bribery, selling official positions, and the number is huge, and the means are skillful, this is by no means the first time to do it."

Zhu Di explained clearly, Zhan Hui, who was standing behind him, lowered his head, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's anger, but after a long time, he never heard the familiar angry voice, he was a little strange.

It's really not a good thing to be so silent, Zhan Hui recalled the previous case in his heart, and always felt that this time would not end hastily.

While Zhan Hui was still thinking, Zhu Yuanzhang had already thrown the question over.

"Zhan Hui, this matter was brought by you, what do you say should be done?"
