I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 37 Lao Zhu's Arrangement, Mission!

When Zhu Yunxi walked into the imperial study room, he found that the atmosphere seemed a bit wrong.

Zhao Mian, the Minister of Household Affairs who had met before, was also there.

He lowered his head and looked trembling.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked serious and chilled.

"Grandfather, what's the matter?"

Zhu Yunxi stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

Seeing Zhu Yunxi, Lao Zhu's eyes suddenly softened a lot.

"Zhen'er, thank you for this."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't know that Daming still has so many moths."

"Why can't I kill all these corrupt officials?"

Lao Zhu slapped the table hard.

"A big corrupt official has been found again?" Zhu Yunxuan understood instantly.

"Your Highness, thanks to the double-entry bookkeeping method you invented."

Zhao Mian, who was on the side, explained: "The household department used this method to reorganize the account books and conduct audits, and found many problems and inaccurate accounts, especially the branch member Wailang, who was corrupt and perverted the law. , embezzled a lot of money from the treasury."

Lao Zhu picked up the memorial on the table, handed it to him and said, "Xiao'er, you should take a look first."

Zhu Yunxi took the memorial, which recorded every sum of money embezzled by Sima Sheng.

"In the tenth year of Hongwu, Jiangxi was hit by floods. The imperial court took out 90 taels of money and food, and Sima Sheng kept 30 taels privately."

"In the 11th year of Hongwu, the imperial court allocated 100 million taels of money and food to reward border sergeants, and Sima Sheng kept 20 taels privately."

"In the 15th year of Hongwu, there was famine and plague in spring and summer, and people died one after another. The imperial court allocated 300 million taels for relief, and Sima Sheng kept 80 taels privately."

"Hongwu's 16-year locust plague... Sima Sheng privately hid 30 taels..."

This is the information that has been sorted out, pile by pile, piece by piece, and the records are very detailed.

Zhu Yunxi was shocked to see it.

Wailang, a branch member, is just a sixth-rank official.

From the tenth year of Hongwu to now, millions of taels have been embezzled in the past 15 years.

Tobe has never noticed?
His thoughts were racing.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked suddenly: "How is your trial going with the case of the Bu family?"

Zhu Yunzhen said: "Back to the emperor, my grandson has ordered Ying Tianfu Yin to find out the case as soon as possible and strive to open a trial as soon as possible."

Lao Zhu knew everything about the mansion like the palm of his hand, and the Jin Yiwei could get into every hole.

He had already been taught.

The matter of reprimanding Gu Duan today may have reached Lao Zhu's ears.

He has no need to hide.

"This matter is not urgent." Zhu Yuanzhang said: "We will give you a new task."

"Grandfather, what do you want me to do?"

Zhu Yunzhen's heart tightened, and he vaguely felt that it was not a good thing.

"We want you to lead troops and raid Sima's house. If anyone resists, they will be killed without mercy."

Zhu Yuanli froze there for a moment.

Home raid, murder?
Lao Zhu actually appointed him to do such a thing?

For a moment, Zhu Yunzhen couldn't come back to his senses.

Since coming to this world through time travel, he has been living as a child.

Zhu Yunxi admires some of the protagonists in the online novels in the previous life.

As soon as he travels to another world, he can kill without any psychological burden.

No matter how bloody the scenes are, they can't shake their hearts.

He asked himself that he couldn't do it yet.

Although I know that in this society, human life is as cheap as worthless.

I also witnessed Lao Zhu casually ordering people to be beaten to death with sticks.

But he still couldn't accept it if he really had to do these things by himself.

In his previous life, he grew up in a peaceful era. From childhood to adulthood, he never even slaughtered a chicken himself.

Let alone murder.

These things are too far away from him.

Taking this step is not easy.

In an instant, Zhu Yunxi thought a lot.

Why did Sima Sheng send a seven-year-old boy to lead the team?

What is Lao Zhu’s intention in doing this?

"Xiao'er."

Seeing him stunned, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to feel distressed and guilty deep in his eyes.

"Grandpa Huang knows that this matter is a bit embarrassing for you. But as a descendant of the old Zhu family, this is something you have to go through."

"While Grandpa Huang is still in good health and can still hold an umbrella for you and shelter you from the wind and rain, you must grow up as soon as possible."

Zhu Yunzhen was stunned there, looking at Lao Zhu blankly, without answering.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, and said, "You have done a good job with Bu Geng's matter, and handing it over to Yousi is indeed in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty."

"But as a descendant of our old Zhu's family, it is far from enough to just act according to the law."

"You have to learn to be cruel."

"If Grandpa Huang was present, he would definitely beat Bu Geng to death on the spot, in order to uphold the laws of the country and protect the hearts of the people."

"Although you ordered Bu Geng's teeth to be knocked out, it was only because he scolded you too hard."

"Even so, you still didn't kill him."

"Because you can't bear it and you don't want to kill anyone."

"No matter which of your uncles, if anyone dares to scold them like this, they will never tolerate it and will kill them on the spot."

"I'm a descendant of the Zhu family, and I'm of the same line as the Son of Heaven, how can I tolerate such insults?"

"But your heart is too kind."

"Compassion does not rule the army, benevolence does not rule the government."

"As the grandson of the emperor, you should not and cannot be so soft-hearted."

Zhu Yunxuan looked at Lao Zhu with mixed emotions.

Coming from a modern civilized society, even if he catches a murderer, his first reaction is to arrest him and hand him over to the Yamen for punishment.

Even if someone provoked him and scolded him, he might hit them in anger, but he wouldn't kill anyone!
Unexpectedly, this would become a serious shortcoming in Lao Zhu's eyes.

"Baby, are you scared?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

There seemed to be amiability and a bit of sternness in the voice.

"Grandfather...I..."

"Just now you also saw how much money Sima Sheng has embezzled over the years?"

"This is the fat and anointing of the common people, and the flesh and blood of the frontline soldiers."

"Being kind to this kind of person is cruel to the common people."

"Damn him!"

There was a cold murderous look in Lao Zhu's eyes.

The temperature in the study room seemed to drop a bit.

Zhu Yunzhen shuddered subconsciously.

Although Lao Zhu was right, Zhu Yunxuan was still somewhat unable to accept it for a while.

He always thinks that the crime is not as good as his family.

Sima Sheng deserved to be killed, but his servants and family members were not necessarily.

Of course, there are those who benefit from it, and they should also be punished jointly.

But there are also innocent people who have been implicated for nothing.

but……

Zhu Yunxi took a long breath and said firmly: "Grandpa Huang, Xuer understands."

"He's leading troops now, and raiding Sima's house."

"it is good!"

Lao Zhu's face showed a happy smile.

"Jiang Yu!"

"Chen is here!"

A clanging and powerful voice came from outside.

A middle-aged man wearing a flying fish suit, with a face as cold as an eagle, walked in and knelt down to salute.

The commander of Jin Yiwei was Jiang Wei.

"Xiao'er, you immediately take Jin Yiwei to search Sima's house."

"Grandson obeys!"

Zhu Yunxi agreed, bid farewell to Lao Zhu, and walked out of the study.

I saw that in the square outside, at some time, hundreds of Jinyiwei had gathered.

Wearing a flying fish suit, he wears a spring knife embroidered across his waist.

The bright metal decorations glow coldly under the setting sun.

Wind blows.

The setting sun is like blood.
