Chapter Eighty-Nine: A False Alarm
Da Kui smiled in his heart when he heard this: "Since you are Aiqing, you will not be guilty." Thinking of this, he pretended to be confused and asked, "I don't know what kind of crime the minister has?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly: "I don't know what Aiqing's objections are to the performance of Wang Shenzheng?"
Da Kui thought for a while and said: "If the minister has the heart to be greedy for ink and silver money, he will not report it truthfully. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Get up, your character is good." ”
Da Kui said: "King Xie Wu." Then he got up and stood on one side.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile: "Then according to Zhang Aiqing, where did the more than 200,000 taels of silver go?" While speaking, he was still staring at the book in his hand, and the seemingly casual question was grasping the crux of the problem.
Da Kui didn't think about it at all and said: "This minister doesn't know that the culprit has been beheaded, and now the minister has a hard time arguing." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Right now, I am recuperating in the Ming Dynasty, and there are nearly one million soldiers in Jiangnan. The Northern Expedition is about to be raised in the near future, but who can defend this land south of the Yangtze River for this king?"
Da Kui couldn't help but ask: "There are many Chinese martial arts in the dynasty, why is King Wu worried that there is no candidate?"
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the book, looked at Da Kui intently, and said: "After Lord Meng of Shunyuan City came to Beijing, he saw that the king presented a thing, and it was because of this thing that the king opened the net today. You beheaded Shunyuan's appointed governor Liang Youcai, although a large amount of dirty silver was seized, but 200,000 dirty silver was missing. On this basis alone, it is not an exaggeration for this king to behead you. ”
Saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a folded flag on the table and threw it in front of Da Kui and said, "This is what Shunyuan Mansion Yin presented now, take a look." ”
Da Kui took the flag and slowly unfolded it to look at it, and his eyes were already full of tears in a short time. Where is this flag, but it is a large white cloth with ten thousand words written on it, and behind it are many, many finger prints that cannot be counted. Although this piece of white cloth is worthless, it is comparable to a thousand gold in Da Kui's heart, and this white cloth is actually a letter to the people.
Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly: "You know that Liang Youcai is Wang Fu's relative and henchman, and you also know that Wang Fu is the prince, why do you want to act against the world's disapproval?"
Hearing this, Da Kui held the book of the people in both hands and said with tears: "The minister was entrusted by Wu Wangqi to inspect the south of the Yangtze River, and he should be worthy of Wu ** in his heart, even if there are all difficulties, Zhang Dakui must also think of the people." Today, even if King Wu beheads his subordinates, Zhang Dakui will not regret it, I just want the people of the world to be grateful for King Wu's kindness, and let the people of the world know that King Wu's mission is for the people to be the master of the people and ask for the people's life. It is also necessary to let the people of the world know that King Wu recovered the world for the benefit of the people. If this can be done, the minister will never give up!"
Good guy, this big hat almost didn't suffocate Zhu Yuanzhang, King of Wu. As the saying goes: when you meet someone and say three points, don't throw away all your heart. Da Kui's words, whether they are true or false, are hard to guess.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded when he heard this: "Well, this king didn't see the wrong person, but Wang Fuzhi can't interfere more with you." Hey~~ This king is suffering words. "After that, it seems to be very difficult to hold his forehead with his hand.
Da Kui clenched his fists and bowed and said: "The minister understands King Wu's hard work, and now he has been ordered by King Wu." Zhang Dakui obeys the king's orders!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Zhang Aiqing, as the political envoy of Jiangnan, must know that he has a great responsibility. Don't stay in the capital, Zhang Aiqing should go out for a walk when the weather warms up, but if there are corrupt officials similar to Shunyuan Liang and talented, Zhang Aiqing can be cut first and then played. If the people want to live and work in peace and contentment, they must first ensure that the officials are honest! Okay, if there is nothing else to do, Zhang Aiqing will step down. ”
Da Kui bowed again, fell to the ground and choked up: "The minister retreats." After that, he got up and was reluctant to give up, and walked out of the temple door step by step. But in my heart, I knew that seeing that I was idle at home all day long, this was to drive me out to work. There is no way, the hands of people are short, the mouth of eating people is soft, and the good days are over.
When Da Kui returned to his mansion, Master Feng hurriedly said: "My lord, the state capitals in Beijing to report on their work have sent people to send stickers, and there are special people to send gifts, and now they are all placed in the front hall. I wonder what the adults are going to do?"
(PS: In ancient times, New Year's greetings were sent to posters, and officials and families also relied on this to communicate with each other.) )
Da Kui said as he walked: "In my hometown, there is a custom of New Year's greetings, and gifts are still needed to pay New Year's greetings to the elders. Since he is an official of the same dynasty, this face still has to be given. Take them all! Hey, what did you give?"
Master Feng didn't dare to hide it, so he looked left and right before he whispered: "There are gift lists attached to the stickers, and there are many categories. The next sentence and half of the subordinates are not clear. ”
When Da Kui heard this, he said: "You will be inspected one by one, and then report it to the official in detail!" With that, Da Kui walked to the front yard. Behind him, Master Feng heard the words and immediately summoned Xu Yuan, Dong Hu, Tian Feng, and Zhou Kai to the front hall.
Before Da Kui arrived in the backyard, he heard the shouts of Yang Xiaohu and Pan Bu, and Da Kui was very satisfied. If the two righteous sons have been working like this, it won't take long for their martial arts to improve. If it is said that the middle of the first month is a big competition, Da Kui really doesn't dare to say that Yang Xiaohu can win the championship, but if it is a competition in May, there will be a period of time to prepare.
As soon as Da Kui entered the courtyard, he saw Yang Xiaohu and Panbu practicing meticulously, and Meng Ge pointed out Panbu from time to time. When the three of them saw Da Kui enter the courtyard, they all stood up and bowed. Da Kui smiled and said, "You two continue to practice, Brother Meng will come with me." ”
Meng Ge received the order and then followed Da Kui to the atrium, and Da Kui said while walking: "Brother Meng has been in the market for a long time, so he must have some knowledge of forging. Although I came from a poor background, I am not good at weapon building. Today, Brother Meng will go to the blacksmith shop to build weapons for you, Yang Xiaohu and Panbu. ”
Saying that, he led Meng Ge into the hall, (Zhang's mansion is divided into five halls, and there are five halls.) When he came to the hall, Da Kui instructed the maid to look at the tea, and then said to Meng Ge in detail: "Xiaohu's weapons should be in the style of my iron oolong spear, but they should be refined with iron. My iron spear is eighty-five pounds, so you can go and make a twenty-pound iron spear. You and the weapons you look at, don't be afraid to spend money. Just go to the account office and get as much money as you want!"
Meng Ge was overjoyed when he heard this, and turned around to take the order.
