Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 176 Zhu Liangzu, Are You Convicted!

Zhu Liangzu swaggered into Panyu County with his men, still thinking about when he would arrest that Taoist.

He couldn't wait to see Dao Tong crying bitterly in front of him, Zhu Liangzu didn't say much, and directly led the five hundred people towards the county government.

Along the way, the common people were also very surprised to see the presence and absence of officers and soldiers.

After all, these officers and soldiers usually don't just appear in the streets and alleys casually.

And the leader is Zhu Liangzu, the general who made a big splash in Panyu County before.

Someone recognized it right away. Isn't this the Zhu Liangzu who beat up Daotong, the county magistrate of Panyu County?

When some common people heard that it was Zhu Liangzu who came, they were taken aback, and hurriedly asked:
"What's the matter? Zhu Liangzu, why did he bring soldiers here?

Our Highness King Liao, didn't we just arrest his brother-in-law some time ago?

This Zhu Liangzu, wouldn't even our Royal Highness King Liao want to beat him? "

When this man said this, the common people nearby heard it in their hearts, and they also felt that there was such a possibility. Zhu Liangzu's menacing appearance clearly meant to fight with others!

They also panicked, and hurriedly followed behind towards the Yamen, not knowing what happened to the county magistrate Dao Tonghui.

Some time ago, I couldn’t get out of bed because of the beating, but this time I’m afraid I’m going to die.

Or is Zhu Liangzu going to rebel?
Zhu Liangzu also saw the common people following behind him, and he didn't stop the common people, his expression was exactly the same as that of his brother-in-law Li Guo before.

That's really arrogance and arrogance, and Zhu Liangzu does have the capital of arrogance.

He was defending Guangdong and Guangxi again, and dragged Daotong, who was against him, into the water, and he also got the support of His Royal Highness Liao Wang. Next year, he will fight Beiyuan to recover Yunnan, and maybe he will be able to be the commander in chief.

Good guy, after this series of credits, I'm afraid I'm going to Yingtian Mansion, I'm really a duke or something, right?

Zhu Liangzu was very happy in his heart, thinking that he had already arrived at the gate of the yamen.

With a quick wave of his hand, he ordered five hundred soldiers under his command to make a dumpling for the Yamen, without any possibility of escape.

It is guaranteed that not even a fly can fly out, and after these things are done.

Zhu Liangzu was waiting for His Royal Highness King Liao at the door.

When His Royal Highness the King of Liao was at the gate of the city, he said that he would arrange for Jin Yiwei to inquire about the Yamen.

To prevent Beiyuan's assassins, or other actions in this way, and then leave first.

Said to meet Zhu Liangzu at the gate of the yamen, but up to now he has not seen His Royal Highness King Liao.

Although Zhu Liangzu really wanted to rush in and arrest the county magistrate Daotong.

But His Royal Highness King Liao is the highest official here after all, so I have to obey his orders no matter what.

After all, when I arrive at Yingtian Mansion in the future, I may have to rely on the influence of His Highness King Liao to continue my journey.

Zhu Liangzu was thinking in his heart that in the future he would be the confidant of King Liao.

Suddenly, the gate of the yamen in front of him was opened suddenly, and then a group of officials came out from behind the gate.

Naturally, after being escorted out behind the officials, Dao Tong pointed at Zhu Liangzu with a look of anger and shouted loudly:

"Zhu Liangzu, what are you doing? You beat me up earlier, but now you still dare to surround the yamen with soldiers? Are you planning to rebel?"

Zhu Liangzu sneered, then pointed at Daotong and cursed:
"Dao Tong, you still dare to say that this general is going to rebel, I think you are the one who rebelled.

Don't think that this general doesn't know about your collusion with Bei Yuan. Everyone already knows about it. I came to arrest you under the order of King Liao. "

Daotong was not panicked at all, but sneered a few times, and then said:

"You protect the local ruffians, harm the local people, and slander me as a spy of Beiyuan, beat me, block the yamen, and even slander His Highness Liao Wang, when did His Highness Liao tell you that I am a spy?
Do you know that what you committed is already a capital crime? "

Zhu Liangzu also burst out laughing. He had a letter in his hand to conspire against him, but he didn't panic at all.

When the time comes, take out the letter, and then say that you are deliberately protecting your brother-in-law in order not to expose the conspiracy of Daoist rebellion.

If you say this in front of the common people, I believe those common people will change their views on themselves.

Thinking of this, Zhu Liangzu smiled even more proudly, and said while smiling:
"Well, fellow Daoist, you are dying and you don't know how to repent, so I'll put the evidence in front of you and let you take a good look."

Zhu Liangzu is ready to take out the letter, and let Master Goutou read it carefully.

Then I showed it to the common people and the soldiers under him, but I didn't expect that after digging in the pocket of my clothes for a long time, I didn't take out the letter.

As for my letters, my big letters are just in my pocket.

Zhu Liangzu was dumbfounded, the letter was still in his pocket just now, why did it disappear in the blink of an eye?

And why hasn't His Royal Highness come yet?

Thinking of His Royal Highness Liao Wang, Zhu Liangzu regained his confidence. Although there were no more letters, as long as His Royal Highness Liao came over, Dao Tong would have to be arrested immediately.

Zhu Liangzu thought in his heart, as long as His Royal Highness Liao came down, it would be fine.

He looked around, and there was no sign of His Royal Highness King Liao around, but Daotong in front of him took out a thick book from his arms, with the words "Da Gao" written on it!

After the common people read these books, all of them showed serious expressions on their faces, and the soldiers did the same.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang promulgated this book a few years ago, anyone who has this book at home can reduce the crime by one class in the future.

And with this book, those high-ranking officials who committed crimes can be forced to Shuntian Mansion for trial.

Anyone who dares to stop along the way will be killed without mercy.

Zhu Yuanzhang put the whip directly in the hands of the common people.

Daotong took out the book, glanced around again, and said:

"Fellow folks in the village, I have been trying my best to maintain the safety of one side, but this Zhu Liangzu is really hateful.

Not only do they protect bullies, but they also openly despise and beat court officials, regardless of the interests of the people.

As the magistrate of Panyu County, I will definitely not spare this madman lightly. I will capture this man alive and send him to Yingtian Mansion to be judged by the emperor. "

After Daotong finished speaking, he took the book in his hand and strode down. Zhu Liangzu, with a fierce expression on his face, pulled out the waist knife in his hand and shouted at Daotong:

"Come here! Give this traitor to this general!"

After Zhu Liangzu finished shouting, he thought that the soldiers around him would immediately walk over and arrest Daotong without any hesitation.

But it was found that the soldiers were watching each other with weapons in their hands, but no one dared to go forward.

The reason is also very simple. First, this Taoist is also the county magistrate of Panyu County and an official ordered by the imperial court. They also know this.

The second point is the book in Daotong’s hand.

The book "Da Gao" is really too famous, who doesn't know about it?

Seeing this book is like seeing the emperor himself, and the emperor wrote this book and distributed it to the general public in order to worry that when corrupt officials oppress the people, the people will have no way to resist.

And with this book, it doesn't matter what official you are.

As long as the people feel that you have something wrong, or that you have done something wrong, they can tie you up and send you to Yingtian Mansion for interrogation by His Majesty the Emperor.

This can be regarded as a major feature of the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.

There used to be a commoner who was bullied by the local county magistrate and deprived of his property, so this commoner took this book, directly tied up the county magistrate, and sent him to Yingtian Mansion.

It was quite a sensation at the time. Zhu Yuanzhang not only met the common people in person, but also encouraged them to donate money and silver taels.

Then the county magistrate who committed the crime was skinned and cramped, and he made a leather lantern and hung it at the gate of the county government.

Therefore, the common people have a lot of trust in this book, and now Daotong, the meaning of this book is very obvious.

He wanted to tie up Zhu Liangzu and send him to Yingtian Mansion for interrogation by His Majesty the Emperor himself.

Naturally, this Taoist is not an ordinary person, but an official appointed by the imperial court, but those around him are all ordinary people.

How this Taoism is done, the common people have the most say.

When and where have I seen such a good official.

And this Zhu Liangzu, is it really a thing? His little brother-in-law, who was so bully, didn't try to dissuade him. He even came to Panyu County to beat up the county magistrate Daotong, and then released Li Guo from prison.

With this kind of behavior, do you think he can be a good person?

Now it is said that our county magistrate Daotong is a traitor, but there is no evidence.

I didn't know who it was, so I said in the crowd:
"Dao Tong is a good official, you Zhu Liangzu want to rebel."

Someone yelled this first, and then other ordinary people also yelled.

Seeing the book in Daotong's hand, everyone's guts immediately came up.

Zhu Liang Zuqi's nose is about to crooked. The rebel is obviously the same way, but now he has become a rebel.

This Zhu Liangzu didn't reflect on himself at all, instead he ordered the soldiers to go up angrily, and quickly arrested Daotong.

But those soldiers really dare not go up!
Zhu Liangzu got off his horse in a panic, and was about to go up and grab Daotong with a knife in his waist. He couldn't say that he would kill Daotong with a single knife, so as to relieve his hatred.

Seeing Zhu Liangzu's behavior, those ordinary people were all shocked. They didn't expect that Zhu Liangzu would dare to commit murder in broad daylight.

That Daotong was also not afraid, holding the book in his hand, he rushed towards Zhu Liangzu, and he was about to fight Zhu Liangzu desperately with the book.

The spirit is commendable, but this is tantamount to courting death.

Zhu Qi, who was watching furtively from the side, was taken aback.

Never expected that this Zhu Liangzu would be so reckless, and this Daoist was so stubborn, he didn't know how to hide, so he just wanted to bump into him with the "Da Gao".

But Zhu Yuanzhang, who was on the side, had a smiling face.

He said to Zhu Qi:

"This Taoism is very interesting. Using my "Da Gao" to suppress Zhu Liangzu is indeed what you call a promising official."

Zhu Qi also had a dark face, of course he told Daotong about this method in advance.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang has come here, the best way is to use this book to suppress Zhu Liangzu.

On the one hand, with the "Da Gao" in hand, the common people also have confidence.

On the other hand, of course it was for Zhu Yuanzhang to see.

It is to tell Zhu Yuanzhang the importance of the rule of law.

Anyway, this book is the one he wrote, and being important means that Zhu Yuanzhang is important!
Zhu Qi understood this flattery.

But Zhu Qi didn't expect that the matter would develop to such an unmanageable point.

He was rushing forward, intending to rescue Daotong, but Zhu Yuanzhang had already raised his hand to block Zhu Qi's way.

"Third, what are you panicking about? Of course, I have already made arrangements for this matter."

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he saw some people rushing out of the crowd in front of them angrily.

Those people were so fast that before the other people could react, they had already rushed to Zhu Liangzu.

And Zhu Liangzu didn't react, there were people rushing towards him, and the first reaction was to cut him off when he raised his hand.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened.

What he hated the most were the officials who oppressed the people. It was good for Zhu Liangzu to chop the people with a sword in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Even though these ordinary people were Jinyi guards arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang in advance, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, Zhu Liangzu's crime was already unforgivable.

Those ordinary people were extremely agile, even if Zhu Liangzu slashed at him with a knife, he dodged them.

Then he threw Zhu Liangzu to the ground all at once, and shouted loudly at the same time:

"Folks, arrest this dog official, let's send him to Yingtian Mansion for interrogation by His Majesty the Emperor!"

Seeing the changes in front of them, those ordinary people finally reacted one by one.

He rushed up quickly, those who held the rope up with the rope, and those who pressed the person pressed the person. Of course, the five hundred soldiers behind them did not dare to make the slightest movement.

In this state where the common people are furious, if they dare to make any moves, they will probably be torn apart by the common people.

So I saw the common people tied Zhu Liangzu to Wuhuada, and then clamored to send him to Yingtian Mansion.

Of course, Ying Tianfu didn't need to give it away. Aren't the ordinary people who tied up Zhu Liangzu the same as Jin Yiwei?

Send it directly to the Yamen of the government office and it's over. Zhu Yuanzhang is in the Yamen.

However, the common people didn't know, they thought that Zhu Liangzu was sent to Yingtian Mansion for trial.

Everyone clapped their hands and applauded, and some people said:
"Our emperor is thinking about the people, and will definitely punish this evil official."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

All the common people seemed to be relieved of their hatred.

On the other hand, Zhu Liangzu was still in a daze, and he didn't know why things had developed to this level at all.

When I was locked up in the yamen by those common people, I kept shouting that when the king of Liao came, I must make you look good.

But he had just finished speaking, when he walked into the yamen, he saw Zhu Qi sitting in the living room, drinking tea swaggeringly.

Zhu Liangzu was about to go to ask for help, but suddenly he was stunned, because the person sitting next to Zhu Qi was none other than Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not in the mood to drink tea anymore, clapped his hands, and yelled loudly at Zhu Liangzu:
"Well, you Zhu Liangzu! You are guilty!"
