"Of course, Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, since he left Haozhou, he has quickly gained momentum, Xianlin naturally wants to support, Liu Ji and Song Lian are all people of Xianlin, and they have been named prodigies since childhood, and their reputation is far and wide, but it is a pity that Xianlin is one step late after all, and Li Shanchang, a country man, has taken the lead."

Zhao Ben said with some regret, and between his words, he looked down on Li Shanchang, the Korean father.

Although Li Shanchang claims to have studied since childhood and is also a literati, he has no merit and fame, and his poetry and literary talents cannot be compared with these pretentious talents and sages.

However, in fact, Li Shanchang's resourcefulness and foresight are incomparable to those of these pretentious literati!

Later generations praised Liu Bowen, even to the point of deification, but since Zhu Yuanzhang gave Li Shanchang the title of duke but only gave him the title of uncle, it has already explained the problem, and the result of the court battle is also that Li Shanchang won, and he has not died until now, while Liu Bowen was killed early.

However, Zhao Ben obviously didn't think so, but was full of resentment for all these resentments.

"Although His Majesty is dressed in Chinese clothes today, he still treats us harshly, emphasizing martial arts and ignoring literature, which is really chilling!" Zhao Ben sighed faintly.

"Oh, you don't have to do it!" Li Wei sneered and mocked. Zhao Ben is not an irreplaceable traverser like him, if he really wants to resign, Zhu Yuanzhang will not have to stay.

When Zhao Ben heard this, he was speechless.

But now that he is in prison, his life is not guaranteed, but he doesn't have to worry about these things at all.

Li Wei asked him some more things about Zhang Zongyi, and Zhao Ben also confided in him one by one under the intimidation of "iron plate barbecue", and then Li Wei asked people to take him back to the cell.

After sending Zhao Ben back, Li Wei turned his head to look at Lu Tang and Chen Su, and said, "See, like me, there is no need to be punished, and let them obediently recruit them." ”

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Lu Tang was deeply admired, he was really not good at these, and although Chen Su also claimed to be so, he didn't think so in his heart, in his opinion, there was no need for this at all, it was easier to use it directly with his correct method.

"Okay, you can try it according to my method, and give me the testimony when the time comes."

Li Wei commanded softly.

"My lord, what if someone sees through this method?" Chen Su asked a little uneasily.

Pork is pork after all, so you might be able to tell which one you wanted.

Li Wei was silent for a long time before he said, "If it really doesn't work, let's use the torture again." ”

"Yes!"

With permission, Chen Su finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After Li Wei finished speaking, he left the edict prison, the environment here is bad, and there are screams from time to time, and he doesn't want to stay here all the time.

At the same time as the trial progressed, the Jinyi guards who were sent out to arrest others gradually returned to Beijing, and one by one the gentry and wealthy merchants were imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, which soon became overcrowded.

Among these people, there is an important figure, that is, Zhang Zongyi, who has been dismissed.

Zhang Zongyi was very panicked, especially when he saw Li Wei.

"Master Zhang, it's been a long time, you said that you are all retired, you can't stay at home well, why do you still have to run around?"

Li Wei looked at Zhang Zongyi in front of him playfully, and chuckled.

Zhang Zongyi's face was ugly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Wei's mouth, when those craftsmen rioted, Zhu Yuanzhang had already arranged an edict for him, but if the operation of the criminal department was slow, he would be able to catch up and save these craftsmen, it was this Zhang Zongyi who ordered the beheading in a hurry, so that those craftsmen died in vain.

"Let's talk about it, what kind of Xianlin, where is it now, and who is in it?" Li Wei said softly.

When Zhang Zongyi heard Xianlin's name, his face changed: "How do you know?" ”

"Hmph, Zhao Ben has already recruited!"

When Zhang Zongyi heard this, he was immediately annoyed: "This traitor! ”

"Eat the king's fortune, share the king's worries, you are a traitor if you take the court's money but do things that endanger the court in private!" Li Wei said with disdain.

Hearing his words, Zhang Zongyi looked righteous and reprimanded angrily: "I sue a corrupt official, what is the crime? But you are a traitor, who has done evil and harmed the world, and you are the sinner! ”

Li Wei's eyes condensed slightly, and he snorted coldly: "At this time, I still have a hard mouth, hum, I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin!" ”

Li Wei didn't talk nonsense with him, and said directly to Chen Su: "The person will be handed over to you, ask carefully." ”

"Yes!"

Chen Su said yes, and then looked at Zhang Zongyi with a gloomy gaze.

Zhang Zongyi looked at Chen Su with some panic: "What are you going to do...... Ah......h

Li Wei turned around and left, and Zhang Zongyi's screams kept coming from behind him.

Chen Su put his inventions into practice on Zhang Zongyi one by one, Zhang Zongyi didn't hold it for a long time, so he recruited everything, and Chen Su quickly sent his testimony to Li Wei.

"My lord, according to Zhang Zongyi's confession, the last time Xianlin gathered was in a small village in Danyang County, Zhenjiang, and this is a sketch he drew."

Chen Su handed over the sketch and continued: "According to him, this place is called Xianlin Study, in which there are four hall masters, as well as more than a dozen core students, these gentry and merchants, most of them are their protégés, relatives and family members, and usually contact and command through letters. ”

Li Wei took it and took a look, this Danyang County is not far from Jingshi, if you go to it, it is estimated that it will not take a day.

"Then take someone to arrest it immediately!"

"Yes!" Chen Su clenched his fists and took his life.

A team of hundreds of Jinyi guards left the Beijing Division and went straight to Danyang County.

Danyang County, in that inconspicuous small village, Liang Shi Zhang Fengyi and others live here, teaching students and writing books.

At the beginning of the creation of the land of virtuous forests, it was for the purpose of cultivating talents, but their cultivation methods, in addition to teaching knowledge, also used the propaganda of literati among themselves to make a name for some talents who needed to be born.

Many famous Confucian scholars will have such a great reputation when they operate like this, and with fame, it is like Jiang Taigong fishing, and there will be wishers who come to seek talent.

At least half of the fame of these talents is water.

In the morning, the servants hired by the study made breakfast, and everyone came to the side room to eat.

The study is also very regular, Master Liang and Zhang Fengyi and other hall masters sit high, and the others salute first and ask them to use it first.

Liang Shi is old and has a high seniority, so he moved first, and then Zhang Fengyi and others followed, and others began to move chopsticks.

It's just that what is a little different today is that Zhang Fengyi, Zhang Ziyi and others eat very slowly, and the food is chewed in their mouths, and if someone looks closely, they will find that they haven't swallowed at all.

Among the many students below, nearly half are like them.

After a while, Master Liang, who was the first to eat, suddenly moved, and looked at the rice bowl in his hand with a frightened face: "There is poison in the rice...... Burst! (End of chapter)
