First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 304
Zhu Biao originally wanted to go on step by step, but he did not expect that the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice gave him a surprise. I have to say that this old boy is also very cruel to him. The doctor who diagnosed him just now said that if he used more force, he might be gone.

It is estimated that he wanted to take the opportunity to clear the relationship. If the government is not strict and the officials are incompetent, they will be dismissed from office. As long as they are no longer related to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, the calamity will be over. The dignified minister committed suicide in shame. Attempted, it stands to reason that the Holy Majesty should give him some face.

It's just that now it's said that they were silenced, and this matter has become a big deal. Now it can be said that Zhu Biao will drag anyone into the water if he wants to, including Hu Weiyong and others. Not all Zhu Biao has the final say.

Zhu Biao asked Old Master Han to keep silent, and then led the troops straight to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Guo Xing, the Marquis of Gongchang, was his personal guard. Needless to say, seniority, credit and loyalty, logically speaking, he should be a prince of the state, but his personality is extreme and he is often lawless, so he is only named Gongchanghou.

Going straight all the way, Guo Xing, Marquis of Gongchang, persuaded him: "Lord Qiantui, the Holy Majesty must be worried if something like this happens, or I will send you back to the palace first, and leave the rest to the general, who will definitely handle it for you." appropriate!"

Zhu Biao glanced at him, thinking back on what happened just now, he knew it was an accident, what are you talking about now, Guo Xing's face under the iron helmet outlined a cruel smile and said in a low voice: "What are those civil servants, why bother, as long as Qiantose Nod your head, the general will go directly to slaughter them all."

Zhu Biao was very happy when he heard the words: "If you act like this, Gong Changhou may die soon."

Guo Xing's face remained unchanged: "The last general is only loyal to the Holy One and Qiantui, and doesn't care about the rest. Many brothers also mean this."

The last sentence is the key, Zhu Biao nodded and did not speak again, Guo Xing also followed behind obediently, the storm was coming, many people already had a premonition, and now they all want to find a place to escape The place to keep the family small and rich.

Guo Xing is a standard honorable man in Huaixi, and he has had life-threatening friendships with Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others. His sister also entered Zhu Yuanzhang's harem long ago and was named Concubine Ning. The year before last, he gave birth to the tenth prince Zhu Tan.

But everyone knows that the prince is only the prince after all, and the prince will be the prince after all. Zhu Yuanzhang spent more than ten years cultivating the best successor with the strongest foundation. It was so easy, Daming would hurt his muscles and bones even if he moved.

This is also the reason why Guo Xing wants to take shelter. If he wants to take shelter under a big tree and shelter from the rain, he has to choose someone with a solid foundation. The prince born by his sister is naturally the closest to him, but he is too young and born too late. It is not certain that they cannot grow up healthy.

Zhu Biao didn't speak when he arrived at the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Guo Xing behind him was a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to say anything more. It's okay to say a word of loyalty once.

Nanxiong Hou Zhaoyong immediately greeted the prince and looked at the prince carefully. He was relieved to make sure that he was not injured or frightened. He was a direct descendant who had followed the prince in the Northern Expedition, and the honor and disgrace of his descendants would all be tied to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao asked Zhao Yong to get up, and Zhao Yong got up and reported: "After receiving the order, the final general immediately took over the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The jailers and prisoners were all guarded, and two jailers who wanted to commit suicide were tied up by their arms. Get up and wait for the general's orders!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yongchao winked at Guo Xing who was behind Zhu Biao, and heard that no master can call His Highness General, this is the qualifications of love, let's see how you show off your younger sister in the future.

Zhu Biao was a little touched when he heard the title of General. Although the title had not been taken back, few people called it. Zhu Biao waved his hand to let the winking Nanxiong Hou lead the way. The two guys seemed to have a good relationship and were right. After all, they are all the same way, and Zhao Yong was not allowed to be named Duke because of violating military discipline.

Zhu Biao ordered people to interrogate the two guys who tried to commit suicide in fear of crime first, and then walked into the prison. The smell inside was indescribable. Zhao Yong still said: "This is the end of the day. Order someone to clean it, otherwise the smell I'm more aggressive."

There were soldiers guarding each cell, and the prisoners inside were all panicked, and they all buried their heads and dared not make a sound, let alone cry out for grievances.

The further you went in, the darker and damper it became. Zhu Biao saw a few prisoners in solitary confinement in the middle, which was in stark contrast to dozens of other people crowded together. Zhu Biao didn't ask too much. The same is true of state prisons, and it is not worth his personal pursuit.

The large prison of the Ministry of Punishment is naturally not small, Zhu Biao walked for a long time before stopping in front of a rather unobtrusive small cell, where there were not only soldiers on duty, but also the master book of Dali Temple.

Kneeling in the prison cell was a thin young man. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he could feel him trembling. Zhao Yong was not an idiot. Naturally, he could see that His Highness was after this person, and immediately ordered his subordinates to open the cell door. .

Zhu Biao didn't rush in, looked at the director of Dali Temple and asked, "Is he the son of Song Nanhai, the former left servant of the Ministry of Officials?"

The chief secretary immediately nodded and said: "The minister was an official of the Ministry of Punishment at the beginning, so it stands to reason that this person should indeed be Song Yaozu."

After Zhao Yong went in, he grabbed the man and groped him. Nan Xionghou was as big as a black bear, but Song Yaozu was like a thin monkey. After being pulled up, he didn't dare to resist and didn't make a sound. He just covered his face tightly.

After confirming that there was no danger, Zhao Yongcai stood aside, and the man knelt down again and buried his head in the haystack on the ground. Zhu Biao walked in and said, "Speaking of which, I have seen you before, please raise your head."

At this time, Yushi Zhongcheng Han Qi also caught up. He frowned and wanted to ask the prince why he made such a big deal. He was met by his colleagues many times on the road just now.
The person trembled even more when he heard that, Zhu Biao turned to Han Qi and asked, "Does Zhongcheng still remember Song Yaozu?"

Han Qi was stunned for a moment, then immediately replied: "I remember, it was the eldest son of the former Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who molested women in the street in Luzhou Mansion the month before last, broke into the woman's house at night and defiled her, but the woman's husband wanted to stop him but was Song Yaozu's subordinates beat him to death, and afterwards the Luzhou magistrate was afraid of his father's official position and dared not report it, and later the old minister heard about it and impeached him."

Zhu Biao also knew about this matter. After all, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was involved. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious after Han Qi was impeached, and immediately sent people to arrest all the people involved in the case.
