Great Emperor's Grandson of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 120 120 I, Jin Shiming, express my responsibility for this incident to the end

"Immortal!!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang staggered instantly and fell to the edge of the bed.

He never thought that he would get such an answer.

Because since he came to the throne, Zhang Zhong has told him more than once that there are actually no ghosts and gods in this world.

[Is Zhang Zhong lying to me? 】

[Or maybe he is just like us, just an ordinary member of these sentient beings, so he doesn't know the existence of immortals at all, and he doesn't want to believe in their existence! 】

He began to question Zhang Zhong's authority.

And this directly led to his subsequent blind willfulness.

Of course, those are later stories.

At least at this moment, he has not turned into the crazy and paranoid Zhu Yuanzhang.

"From today onwards, you don't have to report the situation of the West Harmony Hall regularly. Stay by Xiao Budian's side and don't let me down again."

After a long time, he took a deep breath and said suppressing his emotions.

Then, he waved Nie He away and lay back on the bed.

But then, he couldn't sleep anymore.

No matter how I emptied my body, my mind was filled with the two characters [immortal].

It wasn't until the sky turned white that he finally fell into a deep sleep.

And this sleep happened to miss the morning time.

"What's going on here? Your Majesty has never stopped the court in these years! How could there be no explanation today?"

"I feel strange too. He was obviously fine yesterday. Logically speaking, he shouldn't fall ill suddenly."

"You shouldn't be sick. Maybe you've encountered something troublesome. Your Highness, why don't you go and have a look."

This made all the ministers in the court anxious.

While they were waiting, they said to the prince.

Especially those relatively poor officials.

Every time before going to court, they would cook a pot of rice porridge at home so that they could fill their stomachs after going to court.

If they go back too late, they are really afraid that there will only be a pile of burnt rice ash in their pot.

"It's too troublesome to go back and forth. I have already seen the Zhezi orphans who were left for discussion yesterday. Except for Li Xin, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Kaiji, the minister of the Ministry of Punishments, if the rest of them have nothing important to report, please leave first! If there is a court meeting at noon, Gu will have people ring the bell."

Then after Zhu Biao thought for a while, he shook his head.

Immediately, he took a group of ministers and rushed to the Forbidden Palace of the Inner Imperial City with a lot of worries.

Zhu Yuanzhang was already awake at this time.

Seeing everyone, he led him directly to the imperial study room without any explanation.

"Li Xin, Kaiji, how is the matter in Shucheng? Has the cause of death of those people been found out?"

As he walked, he didn't forget to ask casually.

It seemed that they had already made some guesses about what the two of them were going to report.

"Return to your Majesty! To be precise, it's not that we found anything, but that someone claimed to be responsible for this matter."

Kaiji took the lead.

This scholar who finally got out of the Imperial College obviously had a strong desire for power and was unwilling to miss any opportunity to express himself.

Li Xin, on the other hand, glanced at him, smiled softly, and pretended to be mute.

"Someone is responsible for this? Who is it? Could it be a scapegoat introduced by some people?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.He always felt that this should be the handiwork of a high-ranking official of the imperial court.

It was nothing more than corruption and bribery. I was afraid that he would settle the score later, so I killed him and silenced him.

However, the finances of Luzhou Prefecture seem to have never had any major problems.

It stands to reason that such a major case should not be involved.

"It's a man named Jin Shicheng."

"This man has no professional features, but he is a brave man of the people."

"But it's not who he is, it's his rhetoric."

"He said that those corrupt officials were condemned by the gods, and he was an apostle sent by the gods to the world."

"In order to prove that what he said was true, he also gave Wei Chen a list, claiming that the list was full of corrupt officials who deserved to be killed, and that after fifteen days, these people would all die suddenly and mysteriously."

Kaiji quickly reported back.

Immediately, a piece of paper stained with blood was handed over.

"Playing tricks. Where are the officials on the note? Are they all under control?"

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally didn't believe it and immediately threw it aside.

"Wei Chen has already sent someone to invite you. Officials from Luzhou Prefecture will arrive in Yingtian within seven days at the latest."

Li Xin finally intervened.

In the absence of a complete conviction, it is indeed best for the officials to come forward in this matter.

Otherwise, once an unjust, false or wrongful verdict occurs, everyone in the civil and military dynasties will be in danger.

"Okay! Then wait for another seven days. After seven days, I will hear the case in court."

In the blink of an eye, seven days flew by.

During this period, Deng, who was far away in Xi'an, had received a letter from home and learned that Zhu Congxin had returned home.

"How could this happen? How could this happen!? Are the people in the Tianli Council crazy? Did they agree to use Zhu Congxin to threaten me? Why did they let him go so suddenly? What on earth were they thinking?"

Her mentality was completely broken, and she overturned everything on the table with a look of irritation and anxiety.

Then, he ordered someone to contact a contact person of Tianli Sect again.

But then, the liaison officer's words once again caused her to fall into an even deeper valley.

". There is no Tenri Sect anymore. Even if there is, it is all in some local altars. Because the main altar was destroyed by an unknown force half a month ago. From the leader to the children, a No one is left. And I, after delivering this news to various places, will also leave here. You wish yourselves good luck."

That person didn't know anything about Zhu Congxin.

After saying something casually, he walked to the far corner of the street without waiting for Deng and others to react.

"How shameful! Let that bastard escape again!"

At this time, the sky was clear and the air was clear, but the moment she raised her head, Deng saw an uncontrollable depression!

The only thing she can be thankful for now is that Zhu Congxin has no evidence of her collusion with the Tianli Sect.

Otherwise, she really doesn't know what to do.

As for the fact that Zhu Congxin had threatened to take her life mentioned in the letter, she didn't take it to heart at all.

On the other hand, when the news of Jin Shicheng's voluntary confession spread, a group of figures who should not have appeared again returned to Yingtian Mansion one after another.

Those are some Heavenly Assembly officials from all over the country.

It even includes Gu Shiyun and others.

And they had only one purpose here, which was to witness the miracle and the sacrifice Jin Shiming made for this great era.
