Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 339 The emperor has many things to consider, unlike us

Lan Yu turned around and laughed: "Military Advisor, it looks like this dog wants to fight back before dying and take away your whole family!"

But the tone was very cold.

Wang Buli looked at the portrait and then at the murderer himself.

The craftsmanship has not deteriorated and is actually 70% similar.

Not bad.

Without the portrait, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The murderer would not have found himself in such an embarrassing situation.

Wang Buli patted his armor and looked at Yan Yulong and said:

"Sure enough, how could someone who could do such a cruel thing not be a vicious person?"

"Bah, you dog official."

Wang Buli was not angry. After the army set out, it would be difficult for the rat in the dark corner to escape.

"Come here, carry him through the streets and slowly return to the county government office. Expose his evil deeds to the public and make sure the people of Jiangning know the truth of the matter."

"Yes."

Zhong Niu picked out a few strong men and carried the criminal around.

A large group of people had just arrived, and quite a few onlookers had already gathered.

Hearing the shouting of the yamen runners at this time, his guess was confirmed: the ogre was actually caught!
Fortunately, the soldiers and yamen runners worked together to maintain order. Even though more and more people gathered on the street to watch the excitement, the team always moved slowly towards the county government office.

"This is the ogre, it doesn't look fierce at all!"

"He is an ogre, but he has fallen into such a state. It's useless to be afraid of him."

"Hahaha."

After all, in the minds of the people, the murderer has been portrayed as having an ugly appearance like a yaksha.

Everyone was skeptical about the portrait Wang Buli drew on the spot.

This does not conform to their basic understanding of ogres.

Now that this person has been arrested, there are still many people who suspect that he is not the same person.

Although neighbors had testified that the portrait of the murderer drawn by the prince consort was very similar.

Lan Yu looked at the lively discussions of the people around him and said with some pride:
"Military Advisor, you asked me to come and show my face. That's really kind of you."

"It is safest to send out the army, and it is best to have as little risk as possible."

Wang Buli looked at the murderer who was being held in front and had nothing to say.

He bumped in here on his own.

I didn't even know where to catch him, but he was so cruel as to want to take revenge on my entire family.

You must tell the executioner well when the time comes. He will be cut into pieces for three days. If the murderer dies during the process, you will be in trouble.

If you achieve this result, the reward will not be small.

"Military Advisor, you are too steady."

Lan Yu couldn't help but sigh.

For all the time he had known Wang Buli, he seemed to be very steady in his dealings with others. However, once he came to give advice on the battlefield, he became a real radical.

Lan Yu didn't expect that Wang Buli's ideas would be so advanced that he could hardly keep up with Wang Buli's thinking.

"It's better to be steady and not reckless."

Wang Buli put his hands behind his back and said to the noisy voices: "I used to be an unknown official. I am not afraid of wearing shoes even if I am barefoot. There is no big risk.

But it’s different now. I’m also a noticeable person. The emperor’s grace is expressed every day, waiting for you to conquer Yunnan.

If I do something wrong, maybe I will go to Yunnan or other places to see elephants baring their teeth.

So I have to be careful on weekdays to avoid suffering in places like Yunnan."

In the past, Wang Buli had only tried to build up a reputation for himself as a "politician serving the people and the court", and he would often talk about going to beat the drum to submit reports.

Even if he really went before Zhu Yuanzhang, he would have an excuse.

Even though Wang Buli now has great support and seems to have "deep connections" with many people in the court, he always feels that he is walking on thin ice.

His fate is almost not in his own hands, he can only paralyze himself passively, which is still too helpless.

In the inherent thinking of the Ming people, Guangxi, Guizhou and other places are remote places.

Otherwise, Zhu Shouqian would not have repeatedly requested to be older before going to Guangxi, or kept crying to Empress Ma, etc.

Not to mention Yunnan which is further away!

After hearing what Wang Buli said, Lan Yu sighed and then shook his head:

"Military Advisor, don't be so pessimistic about everything. We are all the emperor's people, and we are all real relatives in the Huaixi circle.

Not to mention that the two of us, one civil and one military, are the prince's right-hand men and our positions will be very stable for at least three generations.

As for the three generations after that, it is up to our descendants to decide. By that time, we won’t be able to see it even if we want to.”

Lan Yu had no idea that the situation Wang Buli described would occur.

We are relatives of the founding emperor, and we have our own strength.

Everyone's interests are tied together.

How could Your Majesty do such a thing as cutting off your own arm?

Wang Buli glanced at Lan Yu.

He didn't have that kind of awareness at this time.

It may be that the first half of my life went smoothly and I hardly encountered any setbacks.

In addition, with the death of veteran generals, it was impossible for him to grow up and become the number one general of the Ming Dynasty without being proud.

As for when he defeated the Yuan army at Buir Lake, dozens of Yuan emperor's men fled and the rest were all captured.

Lan Yu raped a Mongolian princess who was in her forties. I wonder if it was a means of self-desecration?
Or maybe it's just your personality. It doesn't matter your age, as long as your original status is a Mongolian princess.

Just like implementing Genghis Khan's strategy, the strongest man in the world wants to plunder everything from others.

Watch those people surrender obediently at your feet.

"Minister Lan." Wang Buli said slowly:
"As ministers, we only need to do our part, but as the emperor, there are more things to consider."

"Well, you're right."

Lan Yu nodded in agreement, not realizing the hidden meaning behind Wang Buli's words.

Or perhaps Lan Yu felt that based on his connections and abilities, he never thought about anything else.

What rebellion?
How could it be possible that this would happen to a person of such a good family background as him!
So this is the complexity of history. Once some people realize something, it is difficult to change it until the last moment.

Or someone never changes his mind until he dies.

Wang Buli was too lazy to say those words anymore and just smiled, probably because he was happy that he had finally caught the murderer.

The cheers from the people around him also brought him back to his senses.

Why bother with so many things?

It is most important to take one step at a time and plan the next steps carefully.

Those who got the news gathered at the entrance of the county government office.

The Minister of Justice Qian Tang and the magistrate Wu Wei were standing at the door waiting.

Although there were yamen runners maintaining order, the common people who got the news could not help but stop doing business and run over to watch the fun.

The case of the cannibal.

Very rare!

If you miss this kind of excitement, you will only be able to listen to others talking for a long time without being able to add anything to the topic.

"The Prince Consort is really amazing."

From time to time, people in the crowd would talk about Wang Buli's name.

In short, the reputation of Wang Bansheng in Jiangning County is not boasted in vain!
As the local magistrate, Wu Wei looked even more honored.

The subordinate is so outstanding, not to mention the bright future of the prince consort.

Now Wang Buli can get a big share of the profits from his many political achievements.

Qian Tang put his hands behind his back, smiling, and listened to the discussions of the people around him.

Once this case was concluded, all the remnants of the White Lotus Sect around Yingtian Prefecture were encouraged.

It would be a good thing if they could take the initiative to confess to the authorities.

Even if they decide to continue hiding, this move will surely weaken their arrogance and prevent them from committing crimes easily again.

Suppressed them harshly!
While Qian Tang was imagining, the escorting crowd slowly came over.

After being preached along the way, many people heard it clearly.

Why did the dismemberment case happen?

It turns out that these two victims became rich and lived a good life under Your Majesty's policies.

The top leaders of the White Lotus Sect would not allow them to quit midway and would not bear to see them having a good life.

That's why they were killed and tortured.

This is the fate that others will suffer if they dare to leave the sect.

Fortunately, the current emperor has shown mercy. As long as you take the initiative to report to the authorities, he will forgive you for your past mistakes.

Even if those White Lotus remnants use this matter to threaten you, it will be useless.

In this way, the official patched it up. Such a statement was naturally recognized by most people.

He always boasts about how good the current emperor is, and often lets everyone see the skins of corrupt officials.

Every time an official was executed, wouldn’t the people not applaud?
Although there were many corrupt officials during the Hongwu period, they were still extremely restrained under the high pressure of Zhu Yuanzhang's policies.

The people were not really obedient to the officials, but rather enjoyed watching them make fun of themselves.

Amid the hustle and bustle, Wang Buli stepped forward and reported loudly to the two leaders. Under their wise leadership, they lived in the county government office day and night to work, and with the help of the bailiffs and constables who worked hard and with the assistance of the soldiers, they finally captured the murderer.

Wang Buli mentioned all the people who had contributed in various aspects, and everyone had a happy look on their faces.

There is still a strong sense of honor in sharing the profits and merits in this way when it is spoken of in the presence of so many people.

"Okay, I will write a detailed letter to your majesty about this matter and ask for credit for getting rid of such a great harm to the people of Nanjing."

Qian Tang, the Minister of Justice, followed up on Wang Buli's words and gave an inspiring speech to the people around him.

In short, the White Lotus Sect has become an illegal organization, and everyone has seen the brutal methods used by the White Lotus Sect members.

They don't want you to have a good life.

So from now on, everyone should not join the White Lotus Sect, so as to avoid being harmed by it.

The prisoner was then taken to jail.

There were already quite a few White Lotus sect members living in the prison, and some were frightened by such a large scene and huddled in a corner crying.

However, there were some brave people who watched the murderer go straight into the single room.

In order to prevent the murderer from committing suicide, Tian Liugen ordered people to tie up his limbs and control him.

So they sent people to strip him naked and wash him with several buckets of water to prevent him from bringing in any germs that might cause a large number of deaths in prison.

After washing, Yan Yulong felt so hungry that he felt dizzy.

He was locked up in the single room and no one was needed to feed him.

Serious criminals must be handled with great care, lest they choose to commit suicide instead of being executed according to Ming Dynasty law.

So how can it serve as a warning?

Wang Buli was no longer in the mood for the subsequent trial, as he had to add some details after all.

Qian Tang and Wu Wei personally took action, not giving Yan Yulong much time to think.

Wang Buli leaned back on the recliner in the county government office, listened to the bird calling out from the clock, and then went back inside.

The entire county government office was very lively.

After all, the big case has been solved, and everyone’s reward subsidies will be issued accordingly.

The criminal Yan Yulong indirectly provided an opportunity for the people in the Jiangning County Court to receive a bonus, and the Shangyuan County Court had to allocate one hundred strings of cash as a reward, and the case could also be closed with him.

It's a win-win situation for everyone.

Lan Yu looked at Wang Buli's lazy appearance and always felt that he had something on his mind.

It was obvious that he didn't say anything on his own initiative, so he didn't ask any more questions, but just brought up the topic:
"Military Advisor, do you think that what you are doing is very worrying about the safety of your family?"

"Well, it's easy to dodge an open attack, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark."

Wang Buli leaned back in the recliner and said, "If it weren't for the old soldier from Duke Cao's family guarding the house, he might have succeeded!

How can I not be afraid of this?"

"Damn it, in my opinion, we have to arrest his whole family and kill them all together to eradicate the root of the problem."

Lan Yu clenched his fists murderously.

Wang Buli nodded slightly: "That's right, I don't have any intention of letting him go."

Lan Yu laughed a few times, and felt more and more that Wang Buli was really against his temper.

He thought of the possibility of going to the northwest to fight this year, and his mood became brighter.

"Military Advisor, if we go to the northwest to fight, do you have anything to tell me?"

"What's there to say about this war that is at hand?" Wang Buli looked at the eaves:

"You are not the commander-in-chief this time. At most, you are a deputy general of the Western Expedition. You should humbly ask Mu Ying for advice. He is a person who has truly experienced the battles on the plateau. He must have some experience."

Because of Deng Yu’s casualties, and the time when we had to make a fortune.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of sending any more veteran generals to the northwest.

Instead, he sent young and strong people up directly, and Lan Yu happened to fill the vacancy.

"Okay, then I understand."

"That's right." Wang Buli tilted his head and said seriously:

"When fighting on the plateau, you must not be too aggressive. Once you feel unwell, you must stop and rest.

You can't survive in that kind of climate just because you want to.

Even if you were not hurt at the time, your internal organs would have accumulated hidden injuries, and it is easy to die young.

If you still want to ride a horse to the Yuan Courtyard, I will take your shin to stroll around the desert, which will be considered as fulfilling your dream."

Lan Yu originally wanted to refute Wang Buli, but there was the example of Deng Yugang's death.

Lan Yu couldn't even say no.

He just nodded slightly: "If I want to destroy Yuan Ting, I will go by myself. There is no need for you to take my bones with you."

"Okay, get out of here." Wang Buli waved his hand and sent him away: "I won't delay your discussion of tactics with Mu Ying."

Ever since Wang Buli built a decent sand table in the Grand Marshal's Mansion, this group of people have liked this idea, and they like to play it dirty.

The main thing is a surprise.

In order to destroy the Yuan Tartars in Liaodong, some generals were ready to destroy Goryeo to prevent them from secretly supporting Nahachu.

After all, it was no secret that there were pro-Ming and pro-Yuan factions in Goryeo.

Seeing that Wang Buli was still frightened, Lan Yu didn't say much.

When the time comes, the entire family of the murderer will be killed to prevent any future troubles. Lan Yu believes that Wang Buli's worries will also be gone.

As the trial progressed, a more detailed file was delivered to Zhu Yuanzhang's desk.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang received a report from Mao Xiang, saying that the son-in-law had caught the culprit in the dismemberment case.

"Oh!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect it to happen so soon.

When he saw this detailed file, he had to admire Wang Buli's foresight.

Just bring his whole family to the princess's mansion to rest, to prevent the criminals from doing anything desperate.

After Wang Buli got married and moved into the princess's mansion, more than half of the inspectors and security personnel around the Wang family were laid off.

If Wang Buli had not returned home from time to time, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have gone through all this trouble.

It seems that there is still a lot of danger now, especially when facing such a desperado.

"From now on, send a general flag to protect the Wang family. Don't reduce the number in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang instructed Mao Xiang who was standing beside him.

Mao Xiang took the order and went out.

After his father finished reading it, Zhu Biao took it and looked at it carefully.

"Dad, the leader of the White Lotus is still on the run."

Yan Yulong is at most a murderer, but is far from being the real culprit behind the scenes.

"Ah."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. He had already decided in his heart that Mao Xiang should be responsible for hunting down the White Lotus Sect, so as to prevent this group of people from sneaking in in the future.

However, in order to catch the real murderer, we have to get Yan Yulong to speak and let him describe the appearance of the mastermind behind the scenes.

In this way, Wang Buli's superb painting skills can be used to draw the appearance of the real culprit behind the scenes so as to find him better.

"I can't understand why there are still people joining the White Lotus Sect after the Ming Dynasty was established for ten years?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was also somewhat skeptical: "Are there really so many people who can't survive?"

Back then, joining the White Lotus Sect to resist the Yuan Dynasty was an effective way to survive.

Zhu Yuanzhang governed the Ming Dynasty with confidence and diligence, allowing many people to live a stable life.

How come there are still so many people with treasonous intentions acting secretly and trying to overthrow our Ming Dynasty!
Are they the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, or Han Liner's followers, or are they Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng's men?
Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled.

"Dad, there are always people who are unwilling to see our family sitting on the throne."

Zhu Biao tried to understand it from this perspective.

Because since ancient times, many people who were born as emperors were not as miserable as Zhu Yuanzhang.

How could a beggar like him sit on the most honorable throne in the world?

Then can't I sit down for a while?
After listening to his son's analysis, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement.

Since they were not forced to die, it means they had thoughts in their minds that they shouldn’t have!

"Biao'er, you are right."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and strolled a few steps:

"We must keep the White Lotus Sect in mind. I vaguely remember that during the reign of Emperor Tianqi or other emperors, there were traces of the White Lotus Sect causing chaos.

These people are eager to replace our family and become the emperor. With such evil ambitions, we must strangle them at the source!"

Zhu Biao also nodded in agreement with the issue of ruling. Anyone who dared to join the White Lotus Sect must be killed.

Don’t blame the prince for being cruel, it’s all for the rule of the Ming Dynasty!
