Chapter 10
Zhu Zhanhe originally intended to inform the prefect of Hangzhou, telling him that if anyone came looking for him, he would take them to West Lake, because he planned to stay in West Lake for a while.

But now it's better, and there is no need to let the prefect of Hangzhou be the mouthpiece, because he has a cheating son, and he was directly caught by the prince of the Han Dynasty.

Zhu Zhanhe directly asked Zhou Xin to handle it. After all, he was the procurator of Zhejiang, and the Hangzhou government belonged to Zhejiang. Naturally, it had to be handled by him when something like this happened.

As for Zhu Zhanhe?
He didn't have such leisurely thoughts. To put it bluntly, there would definitely be many such things. If he did it himself, he would be busy for a lifetime.

People, you just have to live in the present moment and learn how to play badly, otherwise you will be too busy to die.

But, will things really develop as Zhu Zhanhe wants?

In a bamboo house by the West Lake, Zhu Zhanhe was holding a fishing rod in his arms, with a bamboo hat covering his face, and was lying on a reclining chair, shaking wantonly. Not far from him, several people were being held The guards do the work.

These people are Lu Xiude, the prefect of Hangzhou... a family.

In fact, the West Lake in the early Ming Dynasty could no longer be called the West Lake. Because of the lack of governance, most of the West Lake has been silted up and turned into flat fields.

In fact, many people don’t know that the West Lake was originally an inlet connected to the Qiantang River. It was not bad in the Tang Dynasty. Later, from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the West Lake gradually silted up and gradually became an independent lake. .

Later, the famous foodie... oh no, it was the great poet Su Dongpo who did it, and the West Lake got better because of it, but that's all. With the two severe droughts in the Southern Song Dynasty, the West Lake was completely silted up.

During the Yuan Dynasty, there was no water in the West Lake. It got better in the early Ming Dynasty, but it had already become a paddy field.

The hope of boating on the West Lake failed, so Zhu Zhanhe vented his grievances on the Hangzhou prefect Lu Xiude's family, allowing them to live a life of "men farming and women weaving" by the West Lake.

"Your Highness, if you don't get the rod again, the fish will probably run away." Zhou Xin, who hurried over, looked at Zhu Zhanhe's wanton look and couldn't help reminding him.

"Run away." Zhu Zhanhe was still shaking on the recliner, his voice came from under the bamboo hat.

"It's nothing more than a carp in the rice field. Anyway, the harvest of early rice of more than [-] mu will start in the next two days. Where can it go?"

That's right, our Royal Highness, the Prince of Han, is fishing in someone else's paddy field.

It is actually not right to say that, because the paddy fields at this time can no longer be called paddy fields, because there is not always water in the paddy fields, and the water is even less when the harvest is approaching.

Our Royal Highness, the Prince of Han, just found a water bed with water.

"Then His Highness is really elegant. It is completely impossible to see that a case of an official's son forcibly robbing a civilian girl has just been solved."

Zhou Xin's words seemed full of sarcasm, but they were actually full of helplessness.

Although the time spent together is very little, Zhou Xin already has a general understanding of Zhu Zhanhe. The degree of understanding is not very deep, but it is enough.

Because from what he knew, it can be seen that His Royal Highness, Prince of Han, has been purely playing in the world. If he didn't see it too clearly, he probably wouldn't even care about the current affairs.

"What you said, His Highness is very helpless..." The reclining chair stopped shaking, and Zhu Zhanhe sat up straight with a little effort, and the bamboo hat covering his face slipped onto his lap, revealing his true face.

"I originally wanted to go to the government office to inform our prefect of Lu, but who would have expected that his son would just happen to be robbing a civilian girl."

"I am also a prince, and I am a member of the royal family, how can I just watch and ignore it?"

"Then I have to thank His Royal Highness." Zhou Newsyan also smiled, but it was not a mockery, but a slightly teasing smile.

"Okay, take it away." Zhu Zhanhe threw the fishing rod and bamboo hat aside, squinted his eyes and stood up.

"However, the magistrate must stay with me."

……

"This..." Zhou Xin hesitated.

This is against the rules.

Although Zhou Xin, the inspector, was mainly the official in charge, but this time the main culprit was Lu Xiude's son Lu Hong, and what Zhu Zhanhe said was obviously against the rules.

But because of the understanding of Zhu Zhanhe during this time, Zhou Xin felt that he was not a person who would cause trouble for himself, so he hesitated.

He wanted to see what Zhu Zhanhe wanted to do.

However, he soon regretted it.

Zhou Xin saw that Zhu Zhanhe waved his hand lightly, and Zhu Ling, who was standing beside Zhu Zhanhe, immediately walked to the side of the Lu family, and then...

Pull out the saber at your waist, raise the saber with your hand and drop it!
……

Zhou Xin was dumbfounded.

He made countless assumptions in his mind, but he never thought that Zhu Zhanhe would let his guards chop Lu Hong directly!

"Okay." Zhu Zhanhe nodded in satisfaction, and lay back on the reclining chair.

"Lu Hongqiang robbed six civilian women. I have already asked my guards to obtain confessions from relevant personnel."

"Zhu Ling."

"Yes!" Zhu Ling responded, walked up to Zhou Xin, and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve pocket.

"These are the statements and home addresses of those witnesses. The Inspector Zhou can go and ask them one by one. As for the prefect of Hangzhou, I have no right to deal with them, so I will hand them over to the Inspector Zhou."

……

Zhou Xin simply didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment.

Lu Xiude is an official, you have no right to dispose of it, and Lu Hong, a commoner, you have no right to deal with it!Why didn't you show any hesitation when you asked the guard to raise the knife and drop it?

But things have come to this, and Lu Hong's severed head can't be put back, so Zhou Xin can only recognize it.

"Then the minister took him away, but the minister will truthfully report the matter to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment."

Although Zhou Xin admitted it, he still did not change his impartial character.

Regarding this, Zhu Zhanhe just waved his hand, expressing that he didn't care.

Still the same sentence, he is the son of the King of Han, he can't kill innocent people indiscriminately, but a sure criminal will die as soon as he dies, no one will trouble him about this matter.

That was not asking for trouble for Zhu Zhanhe, but asking for trouble for himself.

"Min...Min girl resigns..."

After Zhou Xin left, a woman not far away tremblingly blessed her body and bowed to leave.

Zhu Zhanhe curled his lips in disdain, but did not speak.

He thought it was bloody early in the morning, after all, he encountered the incident of robbing a civilian girl, but what he didn't expect was that the facts were far more bloody than he imagined.

It is true that Lu Hongqiang robs the women of the people, but this woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp. According to later generations, she is a gold-worshiping woman.

That's right, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer!
But everyone beat him up, Zhu Zhanhe wanted to just throw it aside, but Lu Hong's reaction was not right, so he simply asked Zhu Ling to investigate.

This investigation did not disappoint Zhu Zhanhe, Lu Hong had a criminal record, but Zhu Zhanhe was more unlucky.

The woman who was "robbed" before saw him, the heir of the Han Dynasty, and naturally threw aside Lu Hong, the magistrate, and began to cry to Zhu Zhanhe, and even put on a slave to repay his attitude.

To put it this way, Zhu Zhanhe planned to hand him over to Zhou Xin directly, but this woman kept pestering him so much that he couldn't do anything about it.
