Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 435 I'd rather leave that place empty!

"I think……"

Chang Jizu's fire of gossip burned quickly, and he muttered for Zhu Yunxi to analyze.

"Your Highness, it is often said that people in a humble position rape a woman's mouth."

"This girl can go all out and not sue her, it must be true!"

"is it?"

"It must be!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly when he heard the words, and was noncommittal to Chang Jizu's words.

In fact, he doesn't care who is telling the truth, he just wants to see how Zhu Zhi judges the case.

If Zhu Zhi was a "faint official", he would just be sent to North Korea to reclaim wasteland and guard the border for the Ming Dynasty.

In the lobby, Zhu Zhi asked several questions one after another, and seeing that Jia Zhang answered all the questions fluently, he was about to judge Jia Xie to lose the lawsuit on the spot.

However, he suddenly changed his mind after seeing Jia Xie turned pale and trembling with anger.

"Come on!"

"Subordinates are here!"

Zhu Zhi looked at the servant who was speaking, and waved his hands helplessly.

"I didn't call you, but I called my own entourage!"

"Wang Wu, Wang Liu, you two get lost!"

Wang Wu and Wang Liu responded.

"I am humble!"

Zhu Zhi saw the two coming out, and casually pointed to Jia Zhang who had complained.

"You two aren't married yet, are you?"

"Gu today is the master, give this woman to you two, you two gave her to me!"

"what?"

As soon as Zhu Zhi's words came out, not only Wang Wu and Wang Liu were stunned, but Jia Zhang, who was kneeling under the hall, was also stunned.

Only the idlers watching the excitement outside the door burst into applause, encouraging the two to act quickly.

Seeing this, Chang Jizu said in a low voice.

"Your Highness, King Liao is messing around, do you want to stop him?"

Zhu Yunxi rolled his eyes and guessed something, shook his head and said.

"No, Zhu Zhi is handling a case, let's not bother him."

Chang Jizu complained in a low voice.

"Handle a case?"

"There is no way to handle a case like this. Isn't this an obvious bias?"

Seeing that the two were not moving, Zhu Zhi couldn't help urging.

"What are you two standing there for?"

"Is he still a man?"

Hearing this, Wang Wu and Wang Liu stepped forward tentatively.However, before grabbing Jia Zhang's hand, Jia Zhang slapped his face with a backhand, and Wang Wu's eyes were staring at him.

"Don't touch me!"

"Your Highness, this bitch is too fierce, a lowly position... I dare not take up a lowly position..."

Zhu Zhi cursed when he heard the words.

"waste!"

"I'm offering a reward here. Whoever can subdue this shrew will be rewarded with a reward of one hundred taels!"

As soon as Zhu Zhi's words fell, a man with a big arm and a round waist walked out of the yamen servant.

"Your Highness, I am willing to give it a try!"

"it is good!"

"If you can handle this girl in the hall, I will reward you with a hundred taels!"

When Jia Zhang heard this, he immediately cursed.

"Dog officer!"

"I want to go to Beijing to sue the imperial court and beat the Dengwen drum!"

"I'm so pitiful, I was bullied and came to sue, but I didn't expect to be bullied by the dog officer, hey..."

When the people watching the bustle around heard Jia Zhang's cry, they couldn't help feeling sympathetic.

However, when the man with big arms and round waist attacked and Jia Zhang tried his best to break free, everyone burst into laughter again.

"Can this strong man be able to hold back even a woman?"

When the man heard this, a flash of embarrassment flashed across his face, and then he pressed on with all his strength, but unexpectedly, Jia Zhang's strength was not weak, and he broke free from his grasp after several struggles.

"This woman is really fierce, even such a strong man can't subdue..."

This time the man couldn't hold his face anymore. He waved his big hand and was about to slap him down, but he was stopped by Zhu Zhi in the lobby.

"stop!"

A trace of struggle flashed across the man's face, but he still stopped and stood aside awkwardly.

Zhu Zhi walked down the hall and gave Jia Zhang a thumbs up.

"Jia Zhang is very strong, such a strong man is no match for you, this king really admires him!"

When Jia Zhang heard this compliment, he said triumphantly.

"That is!"

"I think back then, when we helped daddy butcher pigs, we carried the whole pig away as soon as we said we wanted, without even breathing!"

The people who watched the excitement around also chimed in.

"There's nothing wrong with that. Her father and I are neighbors. In the early years, I often watched Fatty Zhang helping her father butcher pigs!"

When Zhu Zhi heard this, he looked at Jia Zhang again, and his expression was not so good.

"Mr. Jia Zhang, one or two strong men can't get close to you, but now you say that my brother-in-law is using force on you?"

"I'm asking you now, does your uncle have the ability?"

When Jia Zhang heard this, he was dumbfounded on the spot, and the people who were watching the excitement instantly understood why Zhu Zhi made people use force on Jia Zhang. It turned out that they had already seen that Jia Zhang was lying, and deliberately asked someone to test him .

"Sir...I..."

Jia Zhang faltered and couldn't speak, and Jia Rong, the defendant, really looked pleasantly surprised.

"Master Qingtian!"

"The late students don't care about being ashamed or not. After my brother died, Jia Zhang seduced me several times. I am a scholar. How could I do such a beastly thing, and I flatly refused every time!"

"In order to avoid suspicion, Wansheng even moved to live in a temple, because he was afraid of this woman's way!"

"I never thought that this woman would shamelessly accuse me in order to get a late birth. I really... woo woo woo..."

Zhu Zhi shouted angrily on the spot when he heard Jia Xie's cry.

"Jia Zhang, you are guilty!"

Jia Zhang didn't know much at all, she just coveted her brother-in-law's body and wanted to marry him.

Seeing that his behavior was revealed now, he cried on the spot.

"My lord, please forgive me, the woman is convicted!"

When Zhu Zhi saw that Jia Zhang pleaded guilty, he was about to be sentenced on the spot.

"Since you know the crime, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, false accusations against others should be punished, and I will sentence you..."

Just as Zhu Zhi said this, Jia Xie, who was kneeling beside him, interrupted him.

"My lord, Wansheng has something to say!"

"Speaking!"

"My lord, although Wansheng's sister-in-law is guilty of false accusation against Wansheng, please, for the sake of Wansheng's dead brother's son, please forgive Jiazhang..."

"Jia Xie, this woman has tarnished your reputation!"

"Wan Sheng knows, but Wan Sheng doesn't want to pursue it!"

"It's not easy for my sister-in-law to raise her nephew by herself, she just..."

"Forget it, please be merciful, my lord, please spare Mrs. Jia this time!"

Seeing what the sufferer said, Zhu Zhi immediately pronounced the sentence.

"Come here, drag Mrs. Jia Zhang out and punish him with twenty sticks!"

"Just let it go!"

"promise!"

When the Yamen servants took Jia Zhang out to carry out the execution, Jia Xie kowtowed to Zhu Zhi in gratitude.

"Thank you Master Qingtian for your compassion!"

Zhu Zhi likes to hear others call him Master Qingtian the most, but he has to pretend to be humble.

"It's okay!"

"I'm just handling it impartially!"

"Come on, summon the next one!"

Just as the yamen servant was about to summon the next complainant, a guard hurried over and handed him a note.

When Zhu Zhi opened it, his expression changed drastically on the spot.

"stop!"

"I won't accept the case today, so let's talk about any grievances tomorrow!"

After Zhu Zhi said this, he hurried to the backyard. When he saw Zhu Yunxi standing at the door of the backyard, he was so excited that he rushed forward and hugged him tightly on the spot.

"Nephew, it's really you, hahaha!"

"Nephew, do you see your fifteenth uncle's prestige?"

"Now I am the master of Qingtian, and I judge cases like a god. Everyone in Shaoxing Prefecture praises me, hahaha!"

Zhu Yunxi broke free from Zhu Zhi's bear hug, and looked Zhu Zhi up and down.

"Not bad!"

"It looks like a stupid official, hahaha!"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhi punched Zhu Yunxie in the chest.

"What nonsense, I'm Zhu Qingtian!"

"By the way, you came to see me this time, is there something wrong?"

Zhu Zhi said it easily, but his heart was already flustered, for fear that Zhu Yunxi would say something.

Zhu Yunxi saw what was on Zhu Zhi's mind, and asked back with a smile.

"Do you want something to happen, or do you not want something to happen?"

Zhu Zhi rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and pulled Zhu Yunxi away.

"Of course I don't want anything to happen!"

"However, even if something really happens, don't say it, wait until you have dinner with me!"

Zhu Yunxi broke free from Zhu Zhi's hand.

"Just skip the meal, I'm here to invite you back to Beijing."

When Zhu Zhi heard this, his body froze immediately, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

"The Liao palace was built so quickly?"

"not yet."

"Then where do I, the king of Liao, live?"

"You can't let me live in a tent, can you?"

"It seems that this is the only way..."

Zhu Zhi became depressed on the spot when he heard the words, and wept secretly on the stone bench beside him.

"Father can't tolerate me so much, does he have to drive me to a remote village to live in a tent?"

"Nephew, can you intercede with Father Emperor for me?"

"I don't want to be a prince, I don't want to be a prince!"

"As long as you don't let me, you can do whatever you want!"

"Do you think I'm a good prefect? ​​You just let me be a prefect. You don't have to be promoted for the rest of your life, woo woo woo..."

If it were in the past, Zhu Yunxi would never believe that someone would give up being a vassal king and choose to be a small magistrate.

But after seeing those wastes in the palace, he knew that Zhu Zhi was telling the truth, and he really didn't want to go to Liaodong to become a feudal vassal.

But he can't be blamed for this. For now, Liaodong is a barren land with a pitifully low population density.

"Uncle Fifteen, I know that Liaodong is bitterly cold, but this is your father's will, and there is nothing I can do..."

Zhu Zhi collapsed immediately when he heard this.

"Why me!"

"My life is so miserable, woo woo woo!"

When Zhu Zhi said this, he knelt down to Zhu Yunxie.

"Eldest nephew, I beg you, your grandpa likes you the most, go tell your grandpa, just say that I don't want to be a feudal king, I just want to stay in the capital, stay in the south of the Yangtze River, woo woo woo..."

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Zhi who was crying into tears, and shook his head firmly.

"no!"

"Who can control your father's will?"

"Uncle Fifteen, you better accept your fate!"

Seeing what Zhu Yunxi said, Zhu Zhi was so angry that he lay down on the ground and rolled around.

"no!"

"I don't want to go to Liaodong, I don't want to eat sand, woo woo woo..."

"That place doesn't even have a royal palace. If I sleep in a tent, I will freeze to death!"

Zhu Yunxi watched Zhu Zhi Sapo silently, until he was almost crying, and then threw out the fleshy bone of North Korea.

"Uncle Fifteen, if you really don't want to go to Liaodong, I can ask Grandpa Huang to change your title!"

Zhu Zhi got up from the ground on the spot when he heard this.

"Reseal?"

"Eldest nephew, can you ask your grandpa to seal me to Shaoxing?"

"I like here!"

Zhu Yunxi rolled his eyes when he heard the words, even if Old Zhu was willing to entrust Zhu Zhi in Shaoxing, he still couldn't bear it.

The south of the Yangtze River is prosperous and prosperous, bearing more than half of the taxes of the Ming Dynasty, how can it be easily sealed off?
If they were all granted to Lao Zhu's sons, what would his sons and grandchildren eat in the future?
"You think beautiful!"

"Now there is such a thing that the king of Korea, Li Chenggui, is old and wants to stay in Daming for the elderly. But North Korea cannot live without a king, so he asked Daming to send a vassal to guard the frontier for him."

Zhu Zhi was stunned when he heard the words.

"You want me to go to North Korea?"

"Yes!"

"Uncle Fifteen, there are some things you don't know. Uncle Sixteen and Uncle Seventeen fought for this seat!"

"I recommended you to Grandpa Huang, saying that the land of Liaodong is too bitter, and there is not even a decent town..."

"If you go to North Korea, the palace is ready-made, and the city is also ready-made..."

Zhu Zhi was a little moved after hearing Zhu Yunxi's words.

No matter from which point of view, North Korea is much stronger than Liaodong.

However, when he thought of how far North Korea was from Daming, he felt a thrill all over his body.

"Eldest nephew, if I go to North Korea and become a vassal, will I never return to Daming in my life?"

Zhu Yunxi said seriously when he heard the words.

"Uncle Fifteen, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"North Korea is an inseparable part of Ming Dynasty, staying in North Korea is the same as staying in Ming Dynasty!"

"You let me think about it, and I will give you an answer tomorrow..."

Zhu Yunxi was afraid that Zhu Zhi would go back on his word, so he hurriedly said foolishly.

"Uncle Fifteen, this is an excellent opportunity. If you don't make a quick decision, this good thing will be taken away by others!"

"oh oh……"

"Then grab it, I'm not in a hurry..."

The next day, after thinking all night, Zhu Zhi came to Zhu Yunxie's hair room early in the morning.

"Nephew, I've made up my mind!"

Zhu Yunxi asked expectantly.

"When do you plan to go to Jiufan?"

Zhu Zhi shook his head and took out a memorial from his sleeve.

"Eldest nephew, you give this to the royal father, and tell the royal father that my surname will not be Zhu from now on!"

"I would rather not be named Zhu than go to Liaodong and North Korea to be king!"

This is what Zhu Zhi came up with.

Since as long as you are a member of the royal family, you must bear the responsibility of the royal family.Then if he gave up his royal status, wouldn't he not have to bear the responsibility?
Looking at the memorial on the table, Zhu Yunxi was completely taken aback. He never imagined that Zhu Zhi would not even want his royal status in order not to go to Liaodong to suffer.

If Lao Zhu knew about this, wouldn't he be pissed to death by this rebellious son?
"Uncle Fifteen, think it over!"

"If you give up your royal status, not only will you not be able to be a vassal king, you will not even be able to be a magistrate!"

Zhu Zhi was surprised when he heard this.

"Why?"

"I don't even want to be a vassal king, can't I get a magistrate in exchange?"

Zhu Yunxi rolled Zhu Zhi's eyes and said.

"Do you think this is a play?"

"Which of the court officials didn't study hard for ten years and then passed the imperial examination."

"You're a waste who can only catch toads and roast frogs, why should you be the magistrate?"

Zhu Zhi was embarrassed when he heard this.

"How about you make me a county magistrate?"

"no!"

"Don't talk about the county magistrate, if your surname is not Zhu, you won't even be a Lizheng!"

"I……"

Seeing that Zhu Zhi was a little loose, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly spoke to persuade him.

"Uncle Fifteen, don't think about those useless things. Wouldn't it be good to go to North Korea and become a king?"

"not good!"

"I would rather beg for food than go to North Korea to become king..."

Zhu Yunxi was also a little angry when he heard this.

"Then go beg for food!"

What Zhu Yunxi said was an angry remark, but Zhu Zhi took it seriously, and started begging along the street after leaving the magistrate's yamen.

When Zhu Yunxi heard the report from his subordinates, he was stunned on the spot. He never thought that this guy would dare to go to the streets to beg for food in order not to go to Liaodong and North Korea!
Zhu Yunxi hurriedly ordered someone to arrest Zhu Zhi, and when he saw Zhu Zhi giggling at himself with greasy hands holding a big bowl, he couldn't hold back at all.

"Uncle Fifteen, why are you bothering!"

Zhu Zhi smirked at Zhu Yunxi.

"I know you are soft-hearted!"

"If it is the imperial father's imperial decree, I will not dare to disobey it. But since it is you who say it, I will naturally fight for it!"

"I……"

Zhu Zhi put the broken bowl on the table, rubbed his hands on the shark suit casually, and then sat on the chair and asked a question as if nothing had happened.

"Zhu Yunxi, tell me the truth, will you cut down the feudal clan in the future?"

"If you swear never to cut down the feudal clan, then I will go wherever you tell me to go!"

"Don't talk about going to Liaodong and North Korea, even going to the Golden Horde to become a vassal, I don't even frown!"

Zhu Zhi's sudden change made Zhu Yunxi a little uncomfortable.

Thinking of what Zhu Zhi said, Zhu Yunxi hesitated even more.

"It's hard to say, but I can guarantee that I will never cut your feudal clan!"

"But others are uncomfortable. After all, Grandpa Huang has granted too many vassals, and some of them occupy key positions."

"Are you talking about Beiping Mansion?"

Zhu Yunxi didn't expect Zhu Zhi to react so quickly, and he hit the crux of the problem right away.

"Yes!"

"Beiping Mansion is located at an important point. Even if it will not be the capital of Ming Dynasty, it will at least be the accompanying capital of Ming Dynasty. It is absolutely impossible to fall into the hands of the vassal king!"

Seeing what Zhu Yunxi said, Zhu Zhi nodded movedly.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you for telling me the truth!"

"Then let me tell you the truth. Someone told me that sooner or later you will cut down the feudal clan. I don't want to fight against you in the future, so..."

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, the hatred for Zhu Xi became stronger in his heart.

This scourge is too deceitful, and he must be killed immediately!
"Uncle Fifteen, you don't have to worry about this, you are different from them, I absolutely trust you..."

Zhu Zhi shook his head painfully upon hearing this.

"No!"

"Once I'm in that position, I'm bound to be like them!"

"Furthermore, even if you trust me, your son may not trust me..."

"As the man said, the crown prince Zhu Biao can trust his brother, but the son of the eldest brother of the crown prince cannot trust Uncle Wang..."

When Zhu Zhi said this, he suddenly couldn't continue, he sighed and stood up.

"Ugh!"

"Why am I telling you this..."

"As long as you order me as the grandson of the emperor, I will go wherever you tell me to go!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi suddenly felt a burst of sadness in his heart.

Before he knew it, he felt that there was an additional layer of estrangement between himself, the young uncles, and his own brother.

"Uncle Fifteen, I will not order you as the grandson of the emperor!"

"If you don't want to go, I will never force you!"

After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, he left the magistrate's yamen, and set foot on the road back to Beijing alone.

After returning to the capital, Zhu Yunxi plunged into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, wanting to complain to Lao Zhu, and asked Lao Zhu to deal with that scum of Zhu Xi severely.

However, before he could speak, Lao Zhu waved at him.

"Did you hit a wall at Zhu Zhi's place?"

"Ok!"

"This kid just needs a beating. Let's order someone to catch him and bring him back. He will be honest after a hard beating!"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head in frustration.

"no need!"

"Uncle Fifteen has grown up, and he has his own ideas."

"It's just Grandpa Huang, can you take care of my second uncle, why does he talk about everything, talk bad about me behind my back all day, so scared that my fifteenth uncle dare not give up..."

When Lao Zhu heard Dasun's complaint, his face was also displeased.

"Don't worry, we will take care of that naughty son for you sooner or later!"

"However, let's talk about your second uncle later. We have two memorials here. Come and see if it's feasible?"

As Zhu Yuanzhang said, he took out two memorials from the table and threw them in front of Zhu Yunxi.

"One is your fourth uncle's, and the other is your second brother's."

"What are they doing in school?"

"The two of them want to change their titles and go to North Korea to be a vassal!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he didn't even read the memorial, and flatly refused.

"no!"

"I'd rather leave that place empty than let these two people pass by!"
