The rise of the prince

Chapter 142 Tang Zhouwei's Unexpected Discovery
The case was concluded very quickly. In the final analysis, because Zhu Yue didn't know it at first, he was just a rough guy, born in the army, and had no plans, so he was unprepared at the beginning, and it was too late when Wu Desi's people were taken away.

As a human being, Tang Zhou naturally knew what the emperor wanted him to interrogate. Whether he really asked him out or tortured him into a trick, as long as there was a confession made by Wu Desi, it would be over for Zhu Yue.

Of course he understood that this matter was not just about Zhu Yue, but the emperor asked him instead of He Zhao to interrogate because he didn't want to involve too much.There are a lot of people peeping from the position of the Jiedushi, and many people must be involved, whether it is an accomplice or a helper, there are more or less involved.

The emperor understands that he can't do everything for everyone, after all, it's not wrong to think about it, it's the one among so many people who put their thoughts into action.

So when Tang Zhouwei presented the entire case file to the emperor's desk, the emperor almost didn't even look at the painting with the ink brush, and then sentenced the whole family to copy and behead all the people involved in Wu Desi.

This is a very heavy punishment. Generally speaking, only those who rebelled against the country and the emperor have this death penalty. This means that Zhu Yue's family of more than 80 female relatives under the age of fourteen will be filled into the Jiaofang Division, and the rest will be killed.

Of course, these are not in his control, they are all the affairs of the Criminal Department, and he didn't want to interfere in this matter.

So Tang Zhou excused himself after the report of the case was clear. This was an offending job, and he didn't want to wait any longer.

When I went out, I happened to meet Shangshu Zuopu shooting Shangguanhong.

Tang Zhouwei was always smiling, so he was very popular. After chatting with him politely for a while, it turned out that he came to find the emperor to revive his order. It was not a big deal, but he sent his son Li Xingzhou to be on duty in Kaiyuan Mansion. .

Tang Zhou was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately returned to normal. The two walked out of the Meridian Gate talking and laughing before saying goodbye.

Tang Zhouwei put away his smiling face as soon as he got into the carriage, Shangguan Hong, the Shangshu Zuo Pushe, was just a good old man who didn't do well, and was always indifferent to fame and wealth.

But he, Fatty Tang, is not a fool, no matter how you look at it, this is not right!The emperor wants to give some princes and grandchildren official titles just so that they can receive salaries and life will be easier, but why bother to issue an imperial decree and go to Zhongshu's door, and Shang Shuxing will lead them in person, just a word of mouth will do.

After this set is done, I want to tell the world that Li Xingzhou is a legitimate court official!
No matter how you think, the emperor did this on purpose!It was true that he had heard that Prince Xiao's son Zhang Yang was domineering and domineering before, so he never took Li Xingzhou seriously, but seeing the emperor's actions today, maybe he might have thought wrong before.
I also thought that after Wang Yue's granddaughter was betrothed to Li Xingzhou, Wang Yue didn't want to shirk the marriage contract and took the initiative to go to Xiao Wang's mansion. The relationship between the two of them seemed to be good when they met last time.
"Unusual, unusual." The fat man shook his head and said two things that were unusual, and then suddenly asked the driver: "Erde, do I have a beautiful granddaughter?"

Half of the face of the coachman Erde was swollen. This was the last time he accompanied the master to Fumenglou and was beaten by his wife when he returned home. The master took advantage of it and ran away: "Master, you have more than 20 daughters-in-law, and you can't count the number of granddaughters. There should be a few beautiful ones.”

Fatty Tang nodded approvingly: "I'll pick a beautiful one to marry to Prince Xiao's Mansion when I go back."

Erde's head was full of black lines: "Master, this is not something like bacon and wheat noodles as a New Year's gift. You have to ask for it when you send it over."

Tang Zhouwei slapped his head: "That's right, what should I do, master, I can't put all the eggs in one nest."

"Master, you are not a chicken. If you are also a rooster, why would you lay eggs?" Er De asked puzzled.

"What do you know?" Tang Zhouwei said dissatisfied: "Your master has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, what kind of rooster and hen, go to Fumenglou, master, I figured it out today, and I am happy again Already!"

"Master, Madam only hit us last time, this time." Er De looked embarrassed.

"Let you go!"

The news from the palace soon came out that Wu De envoy Zhu Yue and Wu Desi's seven party members deceived the emperor, changed the Guanbei battle report for their own selfishness, and framed Guanbei Jiedu envoy Wei Chaoren. The emperor was furious. Zhu Yue's whole family copied and beheaded, and the rest of the accomplices were executed.

It is said that Zhu Yue's mother and wife committed suicide by throwing themselves into the deep well of the house before the people who were detained by the Ministry of Punishment ransacked their homes.

All of a sudden, there was an uproar in the whole capital, many people clapped their hands and applauded, and the news was mixed, and soon Li Ye also knew the news.

The brothers and sisters of the Wei family were overjoyed, which meant that their father was about to be released from prison.Li Ye had mixed feelings in his heart, as he said, if this matter fell on the heads of other ministers, at most he would be killed alone, but it happened to be Wu Deshi, Wu Deshi dared to do such a thing, it was no different from treason.

The emperor of the Jing Dynasty hadn’t given such a severe sentence for a long time. There were nearly a hundred people in the family of a court official like Zhu Yue. Pigs, cows and horses did not stay alive.

If you want to be detained in the prison until next autumn, those young children and old people will definitely not be able to make it through, and many of them will die tragically in prison, but people in the mansion seem to be accustomed to talking about this matter, and they only Take it as a joke, without thinking about the dozens of innocent lives behind it.

Under the comfortable afternoon sun, people in the garden of the palace chatted and discussed while grinding wooden corks.

"My son, isn't it just a cork, why did you do it so well?" Yue'er asked incomprehensibly.

The first batch of [-] jade bottles has arrived, and the owner of Zhujiazhuang outside the city personally delivered them to the door early this morning. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to this business, after all, the other party is the palace!

A businessman has no status, so he has no sense of security. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to climb the palace.

Li Ye could see his thoughts and did not respond to him. It is a good thing to have such thoughts, and he will do his best for the palace in the future.

He wrote on the smooth polished cork and said: "You can't underestimate this thing, Yue'er, do you think that if you had melon peels in your hand, would you throw them around in the palace?"

"Of course not." Yue'er replied as a matter of course: "I will throw it into the pickling jar."

Li Ye asked again: "What if it's on the street?"

"Throw it away." The little girl said embarrassedly, and then quickly added: "But there is no pickling jar on the street."

Li Ye smiled and rubbed her little head: "Of course it makes sense, but it's more because the palace is clean and the streets are dirty. This is the most important reason."

Wei Yubai thought for a while and then shook his head: "I still don't understand."

"To put it simply, what you see, hear, and feel can greatly affect people's behavior." Li Ye said and put the cork with the written word on it into the jade bottle: "This is obviously a good bottle. It’s a high-end product, but if it’s a little bit flawed, it’s not as high-end in people’s eyes. Any negative behavior can contribute to a wider negative behavior.”

Yue'er was still at a loss, but Wei Yubai seemed to understand a little bit: "Your Majesty, did you say that the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant's nest?"

"Plainly speaking, that's the case. You can understand it that way." Li Ye nodded. He was going to sell these wines in Ting Yu Lou. In fact, what he was talking about was a very common psychological phenomenon.
