Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 34 Magistrate Ouyang, your case has been committed!
Zhu Yuanzhang was worthy of being the founding emperor. Although he was a little surprised that the small Kaiping County had hidden 200 million shi of grain in three years, he quickly calmed down.

This is 200 million shi of food, not just a few shi or dozens of shi. If you save a little, you can feed an army of [-] for a year!
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Mao Xiang with his tiger eyes, "I ask you, can you find out where these 200 million stones of grain went?"

puff-

Mao Xiang decisively knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, "Your Majesty, I haven't found out yet, but please give me some time, and I will definitely find out these two hundred shi of grain!"

"No need." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

"Mao Xiang."

"The minister is here."

"When you are raising soldiers for a lifetime, it is time for your Jin Yiwei to take action." Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly: "Kaiping County Magistrate Ouyang Lun was corrupt, perverted the law, and committed crimes. The Jin Yiwei arrested him, and then searched Kaiping County for me. We must also find these 200 million stones of food!!"

"This time, no matter what level it is involved, you will be arrested and interrogated by me!"

"Ah!" Mao Xiang was stunned. He had thought about catching Ouyang Lun countless times, but he never thought that this day would come so soon!
Sure enough, the Tian family is ruthless. One second he was praising Ouyang Lun, but then he turned around and wanted to take down Ouyang Lun. This was his son-in-law!

"Your Majesty, do you really want to capture the consort Ouyang Lun?" Mao Xiang asked cautiously.

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Mao Xiang fiercely, "He Ouyang Lun is the county magistrate of the Ming Dynasty first and then my son-in-law, Zhu Yuanzhang. The emperor breaks the law and the common people are guilty. Since he dares to embezzle 200 million shi of grain, even if I want to spare him, the law of the Ming Dynasty If you don’t agree, the people of Ming Dynasty will not agree!”

"Don't go soon!"

"Yes!"

Mao Xiang knew Zhu Yuanzhang's temper very well. If he said this, it meant that Ouyang Lun would definitely die.

To be honest, he still has a good impression of Ouyang Lun. If Ouyang Lun hadn't introduced "fried chicken" and "grilled fish" and provided loan policies, he would not have been able to earn enough funds to support the entire Jinyiwei.

To put it bluntly, Ouyang Lun is the financial backer of their Jin Yiwei, but Ouyang Lun himself doesn't know it.

At first, Mao Xiang also wanted to capture Ouyang Lun and make a fortune, but as time passed and he retired, he felt that it might be best for Ouyang Lun to be alive.

Of course, he had a favorable impression and even sympathy for Ouyang Lun, but it was not enough to make Mao Xiang betray Zhu Yuanzhang.

Mao Xiang returned to the fried chicken restaurant from Kaiping Hotel and immediately called his key men.

"His Majesty has ordered us, the Jinyi Guards, to capture Kaiping County Magistrate Ouyang Lun!"

"In order to prevent our Jin Yiwei from being exposed, Xiaohu and I cannot come forward. Ji Gangqian has just been transferred to Kaiping. This time, you will lead the team to arrest Ouyang Lun!"

Mao Xiang ordered.

"Yes, my lord!"

Ji Gang had a hooked nose, a dark face, and cold eyes. After receiving the order, he turned around and left.

Kaiping County Government.

A celebration banquet is being held at the moment.

County officials, big and small officials, celebrities and wealthy businessmen in Kaiping County, and representatives of people from various towns and villages gathered together.

Ouyang Lun and his wife, Princess Anqing, sat at the main seat.

"Today's good harvest is indispensable for your hard work. This county magistrate proposes a toast to you!"

Ouyang Lun raised his wine glass.

The people below also raised their glasses.

"What are you talking about, the county magistrate? If you hadn't led us to build roads and open up wasteland, our Kaiping County wouldn't be where it is today! Let's toast the county magistrate together!" Boss Zhao of 'Lucky Gambling House' said loudly.

"Boss Zhao is right. If it weren't for the foresight of the county magistrate, our Kaiping County would still be in a state of food shortage and people starving! Respect the county magistrate!" County Chief Lao Qiu raised his wine glass high.

Others also responded one after another.

"To your Majesty the County Magistrate!"

"I hope that next year, our Kaiping County will have a bigger harvest under the leadership of the county magistrate!" "That's for sure!"

"Dry!"

Just when the atmosphere of the banquet became more and more enthusiastic.

A group of tall people wearing Feiyu suits and carrying embroidered spring knives broke in.

"Who are you? You dare to break into the county government office without permission? Do you know what the crime is?" The Kaiping County shop owner immediately stood up and scolded him. Except for the poor clothes, he was no less imposing.

Other county government officials and police officers also quickly surrounded this group of people.

"I am Ji Gang of the Hundred Households of the Jinyi Guards. By order of His Majesty the Emperor, I am going to arrest you and bring you to justice!"

"Magistrate Ouyang, your case has been revealed!"

"Dare to stop Jin Yiwei from handling the case, and you are guilty of the same crime as the main criminal!"

Ji Gang looked gloomy and calm, and took out the Jinyiwei Hundred Houses Waist Card in his hand, "Mr. Ouyang, are you going to follow us on your own initiative? Or are you going to resist and be captured by us in the end?"

"Bold!"

Princess Anqing stood up and shouted angrily, "I am Princess Anqing of the Ming Dynasty. How come I don't know that there is an institution called Jinyiwei? The person you want to arrest is my husband, and he is the consort of the Ming Dynasty. How can you arrest him whenever you want?"

Ji Gang was not as frightened as Princess Anqing and said: "Ji Gang has met Her Royal Highness the Princess, and my subordinates were ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to arrest Ouyang Lun and escort him to Beijing immediately!"

"Please, Your Highness the Princess, please do not embarrass your subordinates."

"You" Princess Anqing was furious.

Ouyang Lun was a little surprised when he saw Jin Yiwei appear at the county government office, but now he has reacted, stood up and comforted him: "Madam, he is just a little guy, there is no need to get angry with him."

"Ji Gang, since you want to arrest me, do you dare to ask me what crime I have committed?"

"Corruption and bribery!" Ji Gang.

"Then I understand." Ouyang Lun nodded and patted the back of Princess Anqing's hand. "Madam, do you still remember what I told you? Just do as I say."

"I'll go with you!"

Ouyang Lun stood up and walked to Ji Gang with a calm expression.

"Don't take away the magistrate!"

"If you want to take away the county magistrate, step over our corpse!"

"The county magistrate is a good official! You are killing Zhongliang!"

brush-

The crowd at the banquet was excited and surrounded Ji Gang and other royal guards.

"Be brave, Jinyiwei is on a mission, do you want to rebel?"

Ji Gang pulled out his Xiuchundao and shouted angrily.

A trace of panic flashed across his originally gloomy and calm eyes. He never expected that Ouyang Lun had such a high prestige among the officials and squires of Kaiping County. He brought only seven or eight Jin Yiwei with him. If he really took action, it would be hard. He must be better than those government officials and policemen.

Just when the situation became increasingly tense, Ouyang Lun said: "I accept your wishes, but my arms cannot twist my thighs. Please do not commit crimes because of me. The innocent will self-acquit themselves. I believe that Your Majesty will clear my name!"

"During my absence, I ask you to continue to run Kaiping County well and never let down the [-] people in Kaiping County!"

With Ouyang Lun's words, all the officials and squires in Kaiping County calmed down.

"Congratulations to your Majesty the County Magistrate!"

"Please rest assured, sir, we will definitely come to join in the petition! I will never let you be wronged!"
