Chapter 33: Thunder's Fury

Xu Da is only two years older than Da Kui, because he never trims his face, so he has a long hair.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, had a lot of talented people, but as far as civil and military affairs were concerned, Liu Bowen and Xu Da were the best among the civil and military generals.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, smiled and said to Liu Bowen and Xu Da: "This is Zhang Dakui, the political envoy of Jiangnan. The meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, how could Da Kui not know? Presumably, King Wu often mentioned himself in front of Liu Bowen and Xu Da. Thinking of this, Da Kui also felt a little complacent in his heart.

Liu Bowen and Xu Da also returned the salute.Da Kui had to take a deep look again.Liu Bowen looked at the huge wooden box on Da Kui's back, but he smiled knowingly.Xu Da turned a blind eye.

King Wu asked puzzledly: "Zhang Aiqing came to meet this king late at night, but what is the so-called thing, and what is the thing tied to Aiqing's back?" Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, had already gone through the wooden boxes that Da Kui was carrying one by one.

Da Kui immediately untied the wooden box and presented it with both hands: "The ministers are under the will of King Wu, and they are secretly sent to investigate the integrity of hundreds of officials in the south of the Yangtze River.

King Wu nodded, Da Kui walked to the side of the case with the wooden box in both hands, respectfully placed the wooden box on the table, and then reached out to untie the burden, and put the square scarf wrapped in the wooden box in his arms.

King Wu walked back to the table and sat down, and then said, "Sit down." There was already a lot of coldness in the words.

Liu Bowen and Xu Da sat back first.Da Kui waited for Liu Bowen and Xu Da to sit down, and then returned to his original position and sat down.After all, those two were the masters of the DPRK and China.Da Kui did not dare to go beyond the rules.

This wooden box has been inspected by the palace guards and eunuchs before entering the palace, and at this time, the seals and locks have been removed.

King Wu didn't have a roster or a watch, but he stretched out his right hand and grabbed a handful of letterheads.

"Zhang Aiqing, what is your opinion on this matter?" King Wu asked coldly.

After hearing this question, Da Kui suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and immediately got up and gave up his hand, and after a hundred turns of thought, Da Kui said according to what he thought in his heart: "The minister thinks that it is not enough to correct the law of the country and reassure the people by not strictly dealing with the corrupt officials one by one.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, looked at Da Kui and asked, "Zhang Aiqing might as well talk about how to convict him."

Da Kui Shen 'groaned' for a moment and then said: "The minister thinks ......." Unexpectedly, Da Kui just said three words, King Wu suddenly got up in anger, and kicked the table in front of him to the ground.

King Wu was furious, not only Da Kui, but also Liu Bowen and Xu Da all got up in panic and knelt on the ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, kicked the table, and then roared: "This king and the Manchu Dynasty have tried to rule half of the country.

"King Wu is angry." Liu Bowen and Xu Da even took Da Kui to persuade in unison.

The prepared words in Da Kui's heart instantly came to naught.King Wu was so angry that Da Kui dared to say it again.

King Wu walked around in the same place.The chair was very much in the way.King Wu immediately picked up the chair and threw it out.The three people kneeling down below were all as silent as cicadas and did not dare to say a word.

"Chop, chop, all chop~." King Wu roared sharply: "If you don't kill a hundred people, how to subdue a hundred officials, this king is to let all officials see the end of corruption, not to put the people first, but to fill the 'private' bag to tear down the king's feet.... Behead them all, and leave no one behind."

After a long time, King Wu eased his mind, stretched out his hand and pointed at Da Kui and said: "'Hand' these lists to the Criminal Department for the record.

"Obey King Wu's edict." Da Kui took the king's order, crawled over and put away the paper signature books on the ground one by one, and then found the wooden box and put the paper signatures in it. Da Kui went to clean up the rest of the things. Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, shouted sharply: "Go and run an errand." Da Kui was so startled that he jumped up from the ground, and immediately took the wooden box out of the study.

Outside the palace gate, the dogs, the stones, the broom, the dustpan, and the bench have been waiting for a long time.

Da Kui came out of the palace 'gate' and hurriedly greeted: "Hurry up and get on the horse, follow this official to the criminal department." The five people of the dog, the stone, the broom, the dustpan, and the bench saw Da Kui's panicked 'color', and knew that something had happened.

Six horsemen rode horses and whipped straight to the west 'gate' of Yingtian City.The west 'gate' was originally the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Longguang 'gate' of Jinling City in the Song and Yuan dynasties.It is located in the west of the city.Sitting east to west.(In the early years of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang directly used this old city 'gate' as the city 'gate' in the west of the city.

The 'gate' of the criminal department is located near the 'gate' in the west of the city.Da Kui has never been there.When he arrived at the west 'gate', he asked the guards guarding the 'gate'.So he took the road to the south again.The soldiers guarding the 'gate' in the west saw that there was actually a third-grade officer going to the criminal department in the middle of the night.' his heart couldn't help but be full of doubts and 'confusion'.

Looking at Da Kui and the other six people riding their horses away, the soldier still shook his head and sighed. Now King Wu is about to raise troops to the Northern Expedition. All the civil and military officials in Yingtian are busy.

Da Kui and the others arrived at the ya'men of the criminal department, and they each turned over and dismounted.' The official in front of the door saw that the messenger had come and immediately came to inquire about the ceremony.

Da Kui was not verbose, and said bluntly: "Go and report it quickly, just say that Zhang Dakui, the political envoy of Jiangnan, has come to run an errand on an errand under the command of King Wu."

Immediately turned around and ran towards the yamen. Another person on the side immediately led Da Kui and the others to the back hall inside the yamen. Although Da Kui didn't know who the person in charge of the criminal department was, he knew that once the roster he had in his hands was 'handed over', that would be the beginning of the bloody storm.

Da Kui arrived at the back hall of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and sat down. Five 'attendants' stood behind him. Although this is the 'door' of the Ministry of Punishment, it is said that the biggest official of the 'gate' of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is Liu Zongju, the 'servant' of the Criminal Department.

The 'waiter' Lang of the criminal department is the third grade, and Da Kui is at the same level, but Da Kui hangs a false title of the second rank of the prince and Taibao.

Not much.' A group of people came in outside the door. Da Kui stood up at this time, and when they saw Da Kui, they saluted one after another. Da Kui was not polite. Everyone who entered the 'door' bowed their hands in unison.

The first one in this group of people was the same as Da Kui, who was also dressed in a red robe, and he was young and had a bookish face. Da Kui guessed. Presumably, this was Liu Zongju, the 'waiter' of the Criminal Department. Since Da Kui was at the same level as him, he hurriedly returned the salute.

After seeing the ceremony, it was time to talk about business, and Liu Zongju, the 'waiter' of the Criminal Department, immediately asked: "Lord Zhang, I don't know what King Wu has sent." Da Kui looked at the people in front of him, but he replied, "Everyone present, please report their names one by one."

After Da Kui finished speaking, he took the wooden box from behind him, opened the wooden box, and took out an account book.

A group of people immediately 'turned heads' to ear, and Liu Zongju was also confused, but he still replied first: "Liu Zongju, the 'waiter' of the Criminal Department."

Da Kui nodded and opened the account book, searched carefully, and said half-loudly: "Well, there is no next."

"Duan Hongyu, Secretary of the Criminal Department," a green-robed official stood up and replied.

Da Kui rummaged through the rummag again, looked at it for a while, and said, "Well, no, the next one."

"Captain Wu Haolong of the Criminal Department." It was a military attache who came out of the ranks.Da Kui couldn't help but be stunned.

Liu Zongju immediately said: "The Criminal Department was first established, and all arrests were carried out by the captain." Da Kui nodded when he heard this, and then went to the account book to check them one by one.

The other people also reported their names one by one, but they were all captains with troops. Fortunately, they were not in the account books. Da Kui was relieved at this time, and the rest of the matter was to be 'handed over'. Da Kui solemnly said to Liu Zongju, the 'servant' of the Criminal Department: "This official is secretly investigating the integrity of hundreds of officials in Jiangnan, and now a large number of criminal officials and Jiangbei Yuan Court have been found to be detailed. This is the list. Wu Wang has a decree to take the prisoners on the list one by one. This time I came to the Criminal Department for the record." As soon as Da Kui's words came out, everyone present was discussing.

Liu Zongju, the 'waiter' of the Criminal Department, turned around and said coldly: "Whoever makes a noise will be punished with a cane." This sentence worked very well, and everyone behind him suddenly shut up.

Liu Zongju took the wooden box from Da Kui's hand, and ordered someone to move the table to put the wooden box on the table.

Just when everyone is busy, they can't open the 'hand'. Outside the door, a courtier came.

Although Da Kui was sitting on a chair waiting for the criminal department to file a record, it could be seen that this court official entered the 'door', but he got up and walked towards the court official.

"Wu Wang Yu." Before Da Kui could take five steps, the court official shouted at the top of his voice.

Everyone in the hall hurriedly stopped what they were doing and came over to bow down.

Seeing that everyone was kneeling and bowing, he opened the decree of King Wu and read it out: "Wu Wang Yu, on the case of embezzlement of officials in Jiangnan, is now 'handed over' to the head of the Criminal Department. Zhang Dakui, the political envoy of Jiangnan, is in charge of the post of secretary of the Criminal Department.
