I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 29

In troubled times, changing the inevitability of personal destiny makes it a seemingly inconspicuous accident. Sometimes, all you need to do is kill a dog.

Li Zicheng nestled on a sunny hillside, and only then went back to Li Jiqian's village when night fell.

He tied his horse to a tree not far from the entrance of the village, tiptoed into the village, squatted in front of his broken kiln and listened for a while, but he didn't hear any sound.

Han Jin'er grinds her teeth, farts, and throws her arms and legs when she sleeps, which is more brutal than some men.

There was no sound in the broken kiln, the only possibility was that this bitch went out to fool around while her man was away.

Li Zicheng was furious, he was about to turn around and leave, he planned to go to the neighboring village, find Gai Hu, that dog butcher, kill him with one knife, and then flee to the end of the world.

A small postman can't even keep his wife hot on the kang, so he just throws it away.

Suddenly, he felt strange again.

Why did he smell a sweet earthy smell, especially in the cold night wind.

Li Zicheng pushed open the broken wooden door, took a step inside, and stepped on a limp body.

He was taken aback, and quickly opened the fire folder, and saw Han Jin'er's pale, vain and exaggerated face, and his two dead fish eyes.

On the kang of his own house, there was a headless male body lying on his stomach, with some clothes piled up in a mess around him.

In addition, half a pot of dog meat was placed on the small table at the top of the kang, which was frozen hard and looked dark, like lumps of dog shit.

Li Zicheng practiced boxing and kicking kung fu since he was a child, and he was quite courageous in the past few years, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he still couldn't help the heat in his crotch...

In just a few breaths, he made up his mind.

escape.

No matter who did it, but I can't get away with it.

Li Zicheng has seen how the Daming county government handles cases. It is nothing more than a few simple inquiries, and even a hard-nosed man can only be tortured into a trick.

Besides, he couldn't justify this matter at all, so he sent the urgent mail back to the Mizhi County Government, and 'dropped' a few miles back to Li Jiqian's village, and there were several witnesses.

Li Zicheng went out quickly, pondered for a while, locked the broken kiln door outside, and ran eastward at full speed.

I heard that my uncle Gao Yingxiang rebelled, was chased by the government army recently, and fled into Shanxi.

He fled for a whole night, and in the early morning of the next day, he found an uninhabited broken kiln, got into it and slept for a whole day, and then started to flee again at night.

After two days and two nights like this, Li Zicheng entered the Luliang mountain area, but was blocked by a group of government servants in a ruined temple.

Li Zicheng saw that the other party had a large number of people, so he did not resist. He pretended to be a down-and-out military household, and allowed the other party to escort him to the Luliang County Government, where he was directly sent to death row.

In the death row, he ate, ate, slept and slept for seven or eight days, but the higher-ups seemed to have forgotten about him, and no one came to ask him. This made Li Zicheng even more anxious and tormented.

That night, another man was imprisoned in the death row, dressed in blood, and seemed to have suffered a lot.

In the middle of the night, the two slowly chatted, only to realize that the other party was a rogue who followed Gao Yingxiang, who was dispersed by the officers and soldiers and caught, and had a good meal.

Li Zicheng inquired about his uncle Gao Yingxiang's situation in detail, and found that the uncle he imagined was not as majestic as in the legend. He ate wine and meat in big bowls. Now only seven or eight people fled to the Taihang Mountains to make a living by hunting.

The heart fire of following uncle Gao Yingxiang gradually extinguished.

He lived peacefully in the death row, he should eat and drink, and his life was quite comfortable.

That night, Li Zicheng was interrogated in the middle of the night, and finally started to panic again.

Unexpectedly, the person who came to interrogate him was a man in Jinyi. Li Zicheng knew that the other party was the famous Jinyiwei.

His case actually alarmed Jin Yiwei?It seemed that this time, he was doomed.

Unexpectedly, just when Li Zicheng was complaining, pessimistic and desperate, the Jin Yiwei suddenly smiled, turned to the Lvliang county magistrate and said with a smile: "This Li Zicheng is considered a man, and he was framed by the butcher Gai Hu, and he is also a victim." .”

The county magistrate laughed and announced on the spot that Gai Hu, a butcher in Mizhi County, had sex with Li Zicheng's aunt Han Jin'er. In order to entrap Li Zicheng, he deliberately killed people. ...

After Gai Hu committed the crime, he fled far away, and was issued a sea arrest document to arrest him with all his strength.

Li Zicheng was wronged and was deliberately framed by Gaihu. Mizhi County confiscated all the fields and houses of Gaihu. The total amount of money was 170 taels of silver, and all the compensation was given to Li Zicheng...

A series of changes made Li Zicheng feel that the ups and downs in the world seem to be governed by God's will.

Therefore, it was easy to follow Jin Yiwei's suggestion and join a 'secret place', probably a member of Jin Yiwei.

Li Zicheng never figured it out, anyway, he was holding a waist card of Jinyiwei in his hand, engraved with several gilt seal characters of "Da Nei Secret Detective [-]", which looked quite mysterious.

Just like that, a good man changed his fate in a daze, and embarked on the journey to the south in a daze...

……

Just when a large number of "rebels" such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were dispatched to the Jiangnan and Southeast areas by means of various adventures, coincidences, threats and temptations, etc., and became "big inner secret agents" controlled by Zhu Youjian himself, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places have started large-scale "relief with work".

Because Wei Zhongxian was specifically responsible for this matter, a steady stream of food was imported to the north through water transport, sea transport, and land, and the situation of large-scale starvation was quickly brought under control.

At the same time, the coal mines in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places were taken over by the Ministry of Industry and the Daming Engineering Bureau. Under the joint law enforcement of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, the coal mine handover process was extremely simple.

Give those coal mine owners an IOU for compensation, and ask them to send someone to the household department of the capital to collect the money as soon as possible. The coal mines will be nationalized, and the Daming Engineering Bureau will uniformly plan, organize mining, transport, and sell them.

A steady stream of coal was quickly transported to various places and distributed to every household in the name of 'disaster relief'.

Zhu Youjian did not say anything about this move. It was done by Wei Zhongxian, Xu Guangqi, Qian Qianyi and others. The purpose was to use the technology of Song Yingxing and others to quickly improve mining methods and expand production to accommodate more refugees.

At the same time, several criss-crossing official roads have also started construction one after another, attracting hundreds of thousands of young and middle-aged civilians.

After the simple and rough demolition of the Xinwang Mansion, the construction started immediately. There were more than [-] construction sites, and the construction was carried out at the fastest speed around the clock.

More than 3 "university students" were uniformly placed on various construction sites. Before studying, they worked as coolies, and became a joke in the capital of the Ming Dynasty...

……

Zhu Youjian's life began to become boring, idle, and doing nothing.

However, this is what he showed.

In his heart, there are hundreds of kitten paws, scratching his heart vigorously.

Every day, every hour, every moment, his prodigal value is increasing more or less, which makes him comfortable, but at the same time, he begins to worry.

Because, according to Wei Zhongxian's complaints several times, the food problem was finally placed in front of this idiot emperor.

food!

If there is no food, those peasants who gather to build bridges, repair roads, build water conservancy, dredge rivers, and mine coal will be directly transformed into a flood of beasts, and this fucking Ming Dynasty will be wiped out in minutes...
