My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 121 Good boy!

Zhu Yong was young and energetic, and he took the taxer and left directly to arrest people.

But the rest of the people were all in shock.

Huang Xiaoru's hands trembled, and he slumped on the chair, motionless. He was not calm, but simply frightened, so frightened that he was out of his wits.

If it is just to offend a few officials, with Xu Jingchang's backing and the ability to hold the truth, even if it is a little dangerous, it will not be desperate.

But Fang Xiaoru and the rest of Jianwen's party were implicated, and the fool also knew how deep the water was behind it!

Let alone a small county magistrate, even Xu Jingchang, can he handle it?

Huang Xiaoru opened his mouth, trying to persuade Xu Jingchang to stop, but he found that he just opened his mouth and couldn't make a sound.

He hastily twisted his stiff body, and coughed lightly again, "Mr. Ding, go, go to the second hall to rest."

Xu Jingchang sat there. To be honest, he knew that this kind of human trafficking would definitely involve the powerful. There was no doubt about it.He let Huang Xiaoru go down to investigate, and he was sure he could handle it.

But now Fang Xiaoru is implicated, and the Jianwen remnant party is implicated... This is the biggest taboo in the entire Yongle Dynasty. If it is not handled properly, the world may collapse.

Even in his own capacity, it is difficult to retreat completely.

Xu Jingchang, who has always been confident, smelled a trace of fear.

It turned out that he would be afraid too.

Coincidentally at this time, Huang Xiaoru asked him to rest in the second hall.

Xu Jingchang owed his ass and wanted to get up, but the moment he lifted his butt, Xu Jingchang sat down again.

"The trial of this case is not over yet, and everyone is watching here, so it's not easy for us to leave. Huangzhi County, you can wait with me!"

Although Huang Xiaoru was terrified, he didn't dare to disobey Xu Jingchang's wishes, so he could only sit there, like a wooden sculpture made of clay.

He was really afraid that something extraordinary would be discovered in the next trial, and it would not end.

Maybe he will be decapitated.

The taste of waiting to die is really not very good.

Time passed by, and suddenly someone came out from the side and handed Xie Jin a note.

Seeing this, Xie Jin remained calm, picked up the teapot, went to pour tea for Xu Jingchang, and handed Xu Jingchang a note by the way.

This note was written by Zhu Gaochi... implicated in the reverse case, retrial at an optional date.

These eight words are very forceful, and Zhu Gaochi's anxiety can be seen.

Thanks to Xu Jingchang's guidance, both Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi understood that they must try their best to downplay the old things about Jianwen and not bring them up.

No matter how much truth there is in this kind of thing that is difficult to seize power, in the end, it is all about the ass.

Fang Xiaoru can be regarded as a famous minister of Jianwen, and the Liao family's collection of Zhongliang's body is also a matter of morality and tenability.It really broke out, and it was Zhu Di Shengming who was hurt.

In the end, even if Xu Jingchang's neck is hard and he can't cut it with a knife, he will still lose his fame for a lifetime.

So the best way, let's procrastinate...

Xu Jingchang could feel Fatty Zhu's anxiety and understood his intentions, but after thinking twice, Xu Jingchang still picked up the pen and drew a cross on it.

At this point in the matter, as long as you withdraw, you will become a public saying that the public is right and the wife is saying that the woman is right, and you can't explain it anymore... And according to Xu Jingchang's assessment, this matter may not hurt Zhu Di's reputation, the key is to see how operate.

So he pushed the note to Xie Jin, squinted his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Xie Jin had no choice but to quietly put away the note, went back with the kettle, and asked someone to return it to Zhu Gaochi.

There was no way, Xu Jingchang was unwilling to back down.

Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't persuade Ding Guogong, let alone the others.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and suddenly there was chaos outside the lobby.

At first, everyone thought Liao Yong was arrested, but it turned out that the person who came was Zheng Ci, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

The dignified head of the three justices, the main hall of the Ministry of Punishment, went directly to the lobby of the Shangyuan County Yamen and met Xu Jingchang.

"Mr. Ding, just now the three judicial divisions discussed, please submit this case, and we will handle it."

Xu Jingchang sat there, slowly opened his eyes, and smiled slightly, "Zheng Shangshu, there is no regulation. The authority of your Ministry of Punishment is above that of Jin Yiwei. You and the three legal divisions discussed to write a document for the General Administration Department, and then the General Administration Department will pass it to Your Majesty. It happens that Xie Tongzheng is here, you can tell him."

Zheng Ci's face turned dark in an instant, Xu, don't you know what's good or bad!

I came here this time to save you, and Fang Xiaoru was implicated. One bad one will hurt His Majesty's sanctity and shake the foundation of this dynasty. The consequences are not something you can afford.

"Ding Guogong, the case is serious, we need to be cautious!"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Yes, please also ask Zheng Shangshu to hand over the official documents according to the court procedures. If you come to the imperial decree, I will definitely act according to the decree. But before the decree comes, I must follow the case-handling procedures to find out the culprit who abducted a woman from a good family." No matter who is involved, I have to give an explanation to the people of the world. Especially with so many people, their wives and children are separated, and their flesh and blood are separated. Is it right or wrong?"

Zheng Ci was stunned, he looked at Xu Jingchang in disbelief, you kid is crazy!
It is impossible to explain this kind of thing clearly, no matter what the conclusion is, His Majesty will not look good.

You are looking for death!

It's a pity that he, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, really can't stand up to the Duke of Chaopin, especially Xu Jingchang, who was also a political envoy.

He could only pull over the chair angrily and sit beside him.

Just as Zheng Ci sat down, there was a bigger commotion outside, and Zhu Yong escorted Liao Yong.

Liao Yong's grandfather, Liao Yongzhong, was a famous founding general, but he was bestowed to death by Zhu Yuanzhang because he violated the etiquette system.At that time, it was not the bloody Hongwu period, so although Liao Yongzhong died, he did not implicate future generations.

The Liao family still exists, but has lost its hereditary title.

Liao Yong once studied under Fang Xiaoru and achieved the position of governor.

After Zhu Di came to Beijing, Liao Yong was thrown aside as a former court official, but at any rate, no one bothered them, so they lived in peace.

until today!

"There are no eggs under the cover of the nest. Ever since I collected the body for my mentor, I knew there would be today."

Liao Yong raised his head and looked at Xu Jingchang with disdain, as if he had already prepared a martyrdom defender.

"Your father betrayed the emperor, betrayed the military, and ended up decapitated... Now that you haven't woken up, and continue to torture Zhongliang, aren't you afraid that one day, it will bring disaster to the whole family?"

Xu Jingchang was taken aback for a moment, he was nothing but purely puzzled, is this guy so tough?
Are you afraid that I will show mercy?
Xu Jingchang sneered, "Liao Yong, we are also old acquaintances... Please come here, I just want to ask one thing, do you know about this prostitute's prostitution business?"

Liao Yong was taken aback for a moment, then snorted, "I don't know what you mean?"

Xu Jingchang sneered and said, "Call the flower bug over here."

Xu Dianli dragged the flower worm to the hall.

"Just now you said that the people in the hall and the people in Yingtian are all aware of it, so please say it again!"

The flower worm changed his face, fear and anxiety in his heart, but he didn't dare to lie in public, so he could only tell the story once.

"Liao Yong, can you hear me clearly?"

Liao Yong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "So this is the matter? I was ordered to spy on the news and find out the inner ghost, so I put eyeliner..."

"Shut up!" Xu Jingchang interrupted him, "Liao Yong, do you know that she runs a brothel?"

Liao Yong gritted his teeth, "Yes, but I'm for state affairs..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xu Jingchang interrupted again, "I'll answer whatever I ask you. This woman forced her into prostitution and abducted and sold many girls from good families living in the sky. Do you know that?"

"I'm so busy, I don't know the details..."

"I asked if you knew it or not?"

Liao Yong gritted his teeth, and suddenly said angrily: "Xu Jingchang, back then each was his own master. I helped Emperor Jianwen spy on the military situation. You have a grudge against me. You can't interrogate me. I want you to avoid suspicion!"

Xu Jingchang laughed instantly, Liao Yong is quite smart, he went to the Jianwen court as soon as he came up, not to seek death, but to force Xu Jingchang to retreat, this kid is notoriously difficult to deal with, far less easy to deal with than some civil servants.

But Xu Jingchang didn't want to get entangled in this at all, "Liao Yong, you instigated people to set up prostitutes, and you wantonly used women from good families to force them into prostitution. I want to ask you, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, how should I deal with it? Do I need to avoid suspicion about this matter?"

Liao Yong took a deep breath, "Xu Jingchang, I am following the will of Emperor Jianwen..."

"Shut up!" Xu Jingchang yelled angrily, "Emperor Jianwen asked you to kill the people and force them into prostitution?"

Liao Yong's expression changed. Although Jianwen had been overthrown, he was still an emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the consequences would be dire if a courtier framed his father.

"No, no."

Xu Jingchang snorted, "Since there is no decree, then it was your teacher Fang Xiaoru's instigation?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Liao Yong was furious, "My teacher is a great Confucian in the world. He has a good character and is well known in the world. If he doesn't follow His Majesty, he should die. But you can't slander my teacher's posthumous name! I don't agree!"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Okay, since they didn't give you an order, it means that you opened a brothel in private and forced you into prostitution?"

"You!" Liao Yong was more and more embarrassed, he wanted to talk about Jianwen Dynasty, but Xu Jingchang didn't give him a chance at all.

Liao Yong had no choice but to turn his head and look at Zheng Ci, "Zheng Shangshu, my case is unusual, and the Shangyuan county government can't try me."

Zheng Ci was stunned for a moment, he wanted to take over just now, but Xu Jingchang had already asked this point, Zheng Ci couldn't be stupid, he pretended not to hear.

Xu Jingchang smiled slightly, "Liao Yong, you have to understand one truth. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has been completely dispirited. The king of Han violated the law and paid fines, and he did not show mercy at all. Emperor Yongle, set up the outline and Chen Ji, restore the heart of outline, and the people Everyone knows it. No matter what you say, it is completely unreasonable to harm the people and force them into prostitution."

"Mencius once said that the people are the most important, the community is the second, and the king is the least. These words are very appropriate today. The most important thing in the world is the common people! When you look back, it is the mortal beings outside this hall! The Emperor Jianwen you mentioned, no matter he instructed you, or he didn’t know it, you figured out what he wanted... so cruel to the people, do you still have the face to sit on the dragon chair? Your Majesty will worship the heavens, it’s a matter of course!"

"Also, your teacher, what good things did he do? I think he has harmed the country and the people, corrupted the national code, and is simply a monster who disrupted the country... Who made him famous? Is it the people outside, or you people with ulterior motives? You colluded together to destroy the prosperity of Hongwu, and make the world a mess, and it is all up to His Majesty to clarify the universe and restore peace to the people."

Xu Jingchang stood up, walked towards Liao Yong step by step, and said with a sneer, "Just now you thought I didn't dare to talk about Jingnan, right? Let me tell you, there is nothing hard to say, the people of the world are here. Whoever takes their children away, Forcing a good man to become a prostitute, the evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied! A person like this who harms the people wants to put rouge and powder on his face and pretend to be a good person, are you all blind?"

Xu Jingchang asked sharply, but Liao Yong couldn't stand it anymore, his legs went limp, and he collapsed on the ground.

At the same time, a person was walking quickly from the second hall. When he heard Xu Jingchang's words, his eyes were red and tears almost welled up.

This person is Zhu Di!

It turned out that Fang Xiaoru and Liao's family were involved. Zhu Di was afraid that something messy would be found in the trial, so he hurried over and wanted to listen in person, just in time to hear Xu Jingchang's high-spirited speech.

What a child, what you said is so comforting...
