The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 65 The Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang Moved the Sword, Empress Ma Can't Save Lord Ye's Life (Seeking more updates)
In the huge dining hall, the prisoners sat very upright, their eyes fixed on the breakfast in front of them, but no one dared to eat it.

Just because they are waiting for an order to eat.

Zhu Yuanzhang and his party are no longer shocked by the fact that the prisoners here have the literacy of prohibiting orders.

Their breakfast today is vegetable porridge with kimchi, and two white masks per person.

After all the general reform-through-labor prisoners were seated, the felony reform-through-labor prisoners began to enter the arena. They would pass through the aisle between the general reform-through-labor prisoners and go straight to the special dining hall inside for breakfast.

Undoubtedly, Zhu Yuanzhang and his party are among the felony reform-through-labour prisoners!
Zhu Yuanzhang already knew the rules here, the better the food, the heavier the physical work, and the higher the profit for Ye Qing.

"I have to say, he is really a corrupt official who would be ashamed of a profiteer!"

"He wants money, and he wants fame!"

"After a good meal, let these people who don't obey discipline, work hard for him wholeheartedly, and even sing praises!"

As Zhu Yuanzhang walked, he whispered to Empress Ma.

Empress Ma's eyes were full of relief: "If the corrupt officials in charge of building the Central Capital can let His Majesty's folks eat these things, there will be no jokes about His Majesty's folks rebelling."

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he frowned immediately: "Don't say that the food is so good, even if there is a bowl of porridge and a white mask for every meal, they will not rebel."

"Shame, this is our lifetime shame!"

"Okay, don't use this incident as an example next time, especially to lift up Mr. Ye."

After hearing this, Queen Ma just smiled and said nothing.

She knows her heavy family too well, most of the time she is so smart that it is frightening, but sometimes she loses her mind and needs such a strong drug to persuade him!

Soon, the two came to the door of the special private room where they ate yesterday.

Seeing this special private room, Zhu Yuanzhang felt very "kind", because he knew that the people who entered this private room to eat were the ones who were going to build roads.

What he wants is to build roads, as long as he goes to build roads, he can find out whether Ye Qing is involved in important military and political affairs!

Yes,

He did promise that Empress Ma would investigate carefully, not to wrong a good official, and not to get mad on the spot, everything had to be discussed at night.

But it's still the same sentence, don't cross his bottom line in everything.

If after his careful and repeated investigation, it is enough to prove that Ye Qing is involved in important military and political affairs, he will go crazy on the spot!

But when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to enter the door, he was stopped by a familiar face.

The person who stopped them was the jailer with two beards who blocked Mao Xiang's move yesterday without any serious problems.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that with this skill, he was definitely not an ordinary prison guard, he must be responsible for carrying out special tasks such as arresting spies.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't know the word "agent" yet, he has a similar concept!

Obviously, these familiar faces that I met yesterday were specifically aimed at them.

"Today, you are having breakfast in the dining room next door!"

The captain of the secret service, who was in charge of keeping an eye on Zhu Yuanzhang and his party, said solemnly and coldly.

Judging from his tone, it is absolutely not negotiable.

Zhu Yuanzhang still has this kind of eyesight. After all, his most powerful thing is to judge people's loyalty and traitors.

In his own words, that is, "Who is loyal on the surface and treacherous on the inside, and who is unruly on the surface but has the righteousness of the family and the country in his heart, we will know it at a glance!"

Of course, this is just what he thinks he is capable of!
When Mao Xiang was about to speak and ask questions, Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed his wrist and pulled him back, signaling him not to waste his saliva.

But this detail cannot escape the eyes of the secret service captain!
It's just that Quan Dang, the captain of the secret service, didn't see it, and opened the door of another private room for them himself.

Looking at the scene in front of him, even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was particular about 'emotions and anger not shown' when he was away from home, was a little dumbfounded for a moment!

In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and his group, the breakfast on the ten big round tables can be said to be even more extravagant than what they ate yesterday.

In a large basin, there are ten lumps of meat the size of a fist, half fat and half thin.

Not only that, but there are also two white masks per person, as well as a glass of milk and a boiled egg!

Looking at this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang had only one sentence in his mind: "The breakfast of these reform-through-labor prisoners is better than that of our emperor?"

"."

But then, he reacted immediately.

According to Ye Qing's character of never doing business at a loss, and according to the rules here, the better you eat, the more you suffer, he immediately realized something.

If you eat this breakfast, you will definitely suffer a lot more today than yesterday.

A reform-through-labor task that is more arduous than building roads?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at these reform-through-labour prisoners who had already taken their seats.

You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang is already considered a strong man, but he never expected that compared with these people, he is a little chicken.

Most of these people have vicious faces. After all, they are all felony reform-through-labour prisoners who were almost sentenced to death. This sentence came from the heart, and it is not for nothing.

In addition to their villainous faces, they also have a big body, which looks like a strongman at first glance.

Obviously, today's reform-through-labor task is mainly about hard work!
Serious reform-through-labor tasks?
After Zhu Yuanzhang had such an idea, he immediately guessed the general idea in his mind.

"Is it mining or transportation?"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Empress Ma next to him from the corner of his eye.

He knew that Empress Ma hoped that Ye Qing would be a corrupt official who would not step on his bottom line and would truly be greedy for money for the people.

And from what she has seen so far, Ye Qing is really such a usable talent.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang also thought so, this is the best, happy result for all.

If this is the case, after Zhu Yuanzhang reveals his identity, he will definitely settle the score with Ye Qing, the emperor must get back his face!
But Ye Qing can live, live for his use!
But judging from the current situation, Ye Qing is not only likely to get involved in important military and political affairs, but may also be involved in mining without permission.

You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang does not allow the local government and the people to open mines privately, especially the four major mines of gold, silver, copper and iron!
Gold, silver and copper represent money, and iron represents weapons and armor!
With these four things, you have the qualifications to rebel!
A person who dares to touch this line can still let him be promoted alive?

Let alone Zhu Yuanzhang, I am afraid that Song Renzong, who was famous in history with the word "ren", would have to cut down such local officials.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang just thought to himself: "Lord Ye, please don't let me see you open the mine without permission, let me go to the coolie to carry it, I can bear it!"

"But if you dare to open mines privately, I don't care whether you are involved in important military and political affairs!"

"."

In Empress Ma's eyes, her Chongba's eyes at this moment were extremely dignified and serious.

Judging from the scene in front of her, she could also imagine that these people were either mining or working as porters of heavy goods today.

I just hope that Ye Qing didn't open mines for him!

If that's the case, then his family's Shigeba is about to get serious!

Empress Ma could feel that her Chongba must have something in her heart, and she still called herself 'Zhen'!
She knew that as long as her Chongba called herself 'Zhen', she would really use a knife, and it was the kind that even she, the empress, couldn't persuade her!

Because at that time, Zhu Chongba was no longer Chongba of her family, but the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang!

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Chongba are one person, but they can also be understood as two different people.

Zhu Chongba's Thunder Fury is not real Thunder Fury!
Zhu Yuanzhang's thunderous anger was really the emperor's anger, and blood flowed for thousands of miles!

Soon, a quarter of an hour of eating time passed.

On the playground, the jailer looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and made a very serious roll call:

"Prisoner No. 88, the location of today's labor camp, the Datieshan Iron Mine in Nieying Town!"

"."

As the numbers were read out one by one, Zhu Yuanzhang, Mao Xiang, and a dozen accompanying guards all went to the Big Iron Mountain Iron Mine in Nieying Town.

And the words "Datieshan Iron Mine in Nieying Town" echoed in Empress Ma's ears more than ten times.

The current Empress Ma can be ashamed.

She knew that after her Chongba came back tonight, she would become the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang who absolutely wanted to use a knife! .
