The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Di Yusen is currently facing the most difficult problem, which is the review of military honors.

Are people's words light? No one waits to see.

Now that Sapphire has made a move, the situation is naturally quite different.

With the support of Lan Yu, Di Yusen began to conduct comprehensive inquiries on the second day, and began to investigate one by one to find useful clues.

This method is a bit stupid, but it is also the most effective method, and it can only be so when all clues are cut off.

In order to separate herself from the commander of the killing guards and the assassination of His Majesty, Lan Yu simply followed Di Yusen to handle the case.

He knew that His Royal Highness and His Majesty must believe in him, but he just couldn't stand the rumors.

Those rumors have their noses and eyes, and they seem to believe even three points of what they say. If this is repeated, even if His Majesty doesn't believe it, but you can use yourself as a scapegoat, then you will be aggrieved.

In front of the government office of a nobleman in the army, Di Yusen went to knock on the door. The servant behind the door came out and saw Di Yusen, and said impatiently: "My master is not at home, he has gone out, you can come back later."

Di Yusen had no choice but to look at Lan Yu behind him, and Lan Yu took a step forward and asked, "Is it really not there?"

The servant turned his head to look, how could he not recognize Liang Guogong, bowed his straight waist, and said respectfully: "Yes, yes, the master is at home, please come to the mansion to have tea with Liang Guogong."

Liang Guogong came forward in person, who would dare not show face to this great civil and military honor.

It should be noted that Shang Zhan Hui, the official minister, was beaten before, and now I can still vividly remember it. Against the intention of Liang Guogong, a severe beating was inevitable.

Besides, as far as this noble family was concerned, they all followed Sapphire in the Northern Expedition.

Things like this began to be staged in various government offices in the capital, and Di Yusen naturally became extremely easy to ask.

It was at this time that a decree was issued in secret.

It spread to somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River.

It was the decree issued by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, and the three clans of Yihou Zijian.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang killed more people, the punishment of killing the nine tribes is actually relatively rare, and the Yi tribe is the common method.

Regardless of whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the previous dynasties, things like the Yi tribe are all secrets among the secrets, and it is rare to make a judgment first before killing people.

People are not fools, when they know that they are going to be implicated, they will obediently die?
Naturally it is impossible.

Therefore, when the government executes the execution of the three tribes of the Yi clan, it usually first secretly dispatches people, first surrounds everyone, and then arrests them according to their household registration.

During the arrest process, if anyone didn't cooperate, he would be killed on the spot. Anyway, both left and right were dead.

Somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River, Houjia Village.

Villages named after surnames are a very common phenomenon in all parts of Ming Dynasty.

The same is true for the Houjia Village where Hou Zijian was born.

The people who live here are also members of the Hou family. In a village like this, Daming can't control it from the law, and the rules of the clan are the biggest.

And that evening, the villagers of Houjia Village returned home after a busy day.

After dinner, it's time to sleep when it gets dark.

Without hearing the slightest news, just after dusk, the entire Houjia Village was besieged by more than 3000 sergeants from the guard.

All the villagers were so frightened that they all hid in their homes, only the patriarch, the elders, and some young and strong people in the village stood up.

Of course, the patriarch had to come forward for this matter. With the support of the clan, the elderly clan elder walked out tremblingly, and asked the Wuguan officer who led the team: "This official, I don't know what happened. So many people came."

"We are in a poor village, and we don't have much money and food. If the official doesn't mind, I have to search for some to honor the official."

The leading military officer sneered and said, "Who cares about your money?"

After finishing speaking, he said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty's secret decree, Hou Zijian of the Hou family, conspired to assassinate others, committing a serious crime of treason, and the Yi tribe will follow suit."

After the patriarch heard this, his bones seemed to have been taken away, and he was about to fall limply, but fortunately, he was supported by the clansman next to him.

But these words, let the
Those of the Hou family who heard it were immediately terrified and trembling.

The leading military officer said: "I brought the household registration, maybe the patriarch can compare the genealogy with yours, so as not to catch the wrong one."

When the patriarch heard the words, his lips trembled for a while, but he still didn't say anything.

He wanted to justify himself, but Hou Zijian of Qianhu didn't know anyone in this village. In the past years, when he came back from the New Year, he would buy a lot of goods, and he was very beautiful. He didn't expect that today
"Evil obstacle, evil obstacle."

The patriarch cursed weakly.

Seeing this, the leading military officer waved one hand and said, "Arrest people according to the list, and secretly hide the same crime."

Following this order, apart from a few people guarding the entrance of the village, other sergeants kept pouring in, almost arresting anyone they saw, and there was no list at all.

Especially young and strong, that is to catch one as soon as they see it.

After the Yi clan, is there any way out for this Houjia village?

The patriarch looked at all this in despair, there were some crying and shouting at Hou Zijian.

As a thousand households, Hou Zijian's wife and children have already taken them away. There are already a lot of gangsters over there, and Hou's village is also linked.

Half an hour passed, and more and more people were arrested. At this time, the patriarch was holding a black package, which he asked the clan to get.

"Officer, this is a little bit of filial piety in the village. I have troubled the officials this time, so I invite them to drink tea."

"The old man just took a look. Those who have been caught are all Hou Zijian's relatives, and the others are gone too."

Hearing the patriarch's words, the leading guard officer took the package, opened a corner of it heavily, and there were some treasures and silver taels inside, as well as some gold and silver jewelry.

The military officer was quite satisfied with this, so he said: "Okay, basically everyone on this list has been arrested, brothers can go back."

Then he said to the clan elder: "Come and see you off tomorrow at [-]:[-] noon."

The patriarch knelt down on the ground and said loudly, "Thank you for your kindness."

The military attache looked at the arrested people, there were about 200 people, and they met the standard of handover.

Although Zhulian is very scary, in fact, after it is implemented in the local area, most of them, except for immediate family members, can escape.

And if the one is not there or runs away, it is generally not said to pursue it.

But I have to change my name and surname.

It is also impossible to say that there will be verification of the body. In the era without photos, household registration was everything. If the household registration is canceled, it is equivalent to death, as long as the number of people can match.

This is also why in many historical dynasties, people who were originally punished by the clan would have their offspring revenge.

If you can get the news in advance, the possibility of escaping is very high, but there are too many people escaping, and it is difficult for the government to explain, so they will go to sea to catch the text.

As long as it's about the same, it's about the same.

On the capital's side, everything about Hou Zijian was quickly mobilized.

In fact, it was not only Hou Zijian who was executed.

All the Qianhusuo, including Hou Zijian's, were wiped out.

Here is the big head.

Because the sergeants in the guards were removed, and none of the military households were alive, and those who accompanied the assassination were naturally mostly from the Qianhusuo.

There must be many who ran away early, but this is not important anymore.

Zhu Ying listened to the decree issued by the old man, but it is impossible to say that such a punishment as Zhulian should be cancelled, especially when it involves the royal family.

Cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots is a key.

If you don't have a hard heart, you can't be an emperor.

The matter of Hou Zijian can be said to be a trivial matter, as long as it is exposed, it is nothing in today's Daming.

It is still necessary to find out the people behind the scenes.

Soon secret investigators received secret orders and began to investigate secretly.

Those who can be of some use can only be Jin Yiwei's side at present.

There is no doubt that Jiang Yu's pressure is the greatest.

After all, he is now the head of Jinyiwei.

This time, regarding the news of the assassination, Zhu Ying did not hide it, and directly published it in the Jingshi Daily.

For a time, the court and the opposition
The situation is changing.

Such a big event, when the people in the capital knew about it, a huge public opinion storm immediately formed.

Of course, this turmoil is mainly to denounce the assassins.

"It's hard for us to catch up with the good times and live a good life. Which bastard who has suffered a thousand knives is going to do something like assassinate His Majesty. He deserves death."

"If you let me know who did it, I will definitely come to the door and arrest him and send it to the government."

"Hey, that sounds good, but it's for a reward. It's said in the mansion newspaper that if you can give useful clues, you will be rewarded with a hundred coins, and if you have news about the murderer, you will be rewarded with a thousand coins."

"If you can directly catch the real culprit behind the scenes, and reward you with a lot of money, I'll be good. If you catch the murderer, you will get rich right away."

"Don't think about it, if you can get any clues to report it, it's fine, but I have to tell the big guys, don't report it indiscriminately, if it turns out to be false news, you will be punished by the Killing Gang."

There was a lot of discussion, after all, it was about the bounty in the mansion newspaper.

The reason why Zhu Ying wanted to publish the news of the old man's assassination in the mansion newspaper was also to put pressure on the people behind the scenes.

It can be regarded as a small distance meter.

Maybe someone will be jealous of the bounty and provide information to the government.

Driven by interests, it is really impossible to say.

However, for more than ten days in a row, nothing was discovered.

Di Yusen was still checking, but Lan Yu didn't follow him anymore.

He really didn't understand how Di Yusen, a literati, had such good patience, doing the same thing every day, going out early and returning late, thinking hard every day, but getting nothing.

After following for three days, the news that Liang Guogong helped Di Yusen investigate the case also spread throughout the nobles of the capital, Lan Yu simply didn't bother to go, and sent his own personal guards to accompany him.

Ever since Zhu Yunqi saw the grand scheme of the elder brother and the emperor's plan last time, he became more interested in reading.

Now Zhu Yunqi no longer only reads Confucian classics, but also starts to read other teachings and classics.

This is also what Zhu Ying taught him, as a future vassal king, don't be bound by the words of the family.

It has never been said which one is better to use, the most important thing is the law, that is, the law.

Only when the laws are strict can the people be stable, otherwise there will only be chaos.

Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Mingyue felt more guilty in their hearts.

Because when Grandpa Huang was assassinated, they were still shopping. It was almost dark when Jin Yiwei came to tell them Grandpa Huang and elder brother that Zhu Yunqi had been assassinated.

Che Jia had already returned to the palace.

Originally, the two children thought they would be punished, but they didn't expect that the eldest brother not only didn't punish and scolded them, but instead asked them if they had a good time.

This moved the two little ones very much, and also felt guilty.

"Don't be stupid, the only ones they want to assassinate are Grandpa and me. It's a rare time for you to go out, just have fun. Grandpa Huang and I were not injured, so it doesn't matter much."

"Don't think too much, it's fine."

Under Zhu Ying's repeated comfort, the two little ones came out of the guilt.

It's not wrong, this matter really doesn't have much to do with the two children, but it has a lot to do with Ye Yueqing.

Even with a big belly, Ye Yueqing still begged Zhu Ying to let him control the intelligence of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.

"No, it's too tiring. The key is to take good care of the fetus."

Naturally, Zhu Ying's first reaction was to refuse, but Ye Yueqing was obviously obsessed with it, eager to participate.

Ye Yueqing is quite good at screening information.

Zhu Ying couldn't bear it, and finally could only agree to let Ye Yueqing set aside an hour every day to be responsible for screening the intelligence.

After constantly checking the information files, Ye Yueqing quickly came up with an idea.

"Hou Zijian claimed to avenge Jiang Xiahou, but why is it at this time? I looked at the real culprit behind the scenes. Although I may know Jiang Xiahou, I certainly don't know him very well."

"I have a feeling that what His Highness said earlier is correct, the truth behind this scene
Fierce, it should still have something to do with Hu Weiyong, I think the focus should be on Hu Weiyong's side. "

"Assassination, treason, and sowing discord between the officers of the guard and the imperial court, I believe that this person may not necessarily be a warrior, but the possibility of being a literati is also very high, or a literati who is more familiar with warriors."

"It can also be someone who likes to read more among warriors."

As soon as Ye Yueqing brought up this idea, Zhu Ying immediately agreed.

The direction of the current case, after Hou Zijian was exposed, quickly shifted all eyes to the people who had a good relationship with Jiang Xiahou.

Because Jiang Xiahou was from Huaixi, these people from the Huaixi Xungui Group became a key point.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, let alone clues, it is difficult to determine even the suspect.

Ye Yueqing's words awakened the dreamer.

Whoever said that the arrangement is so meticulous must be a warrior.

Even a warrior must be a warrior who is good at strategy.

Although there are many civil and military officials in the capital, after such a screening, the scope suddenly becomes very small. In addition, it is much easier to find those who are related to Hu Weiyong.

Zhu Ying also told Di Yusen and Jiang Yu the news immediately.
