Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 78 Witnesses come to court
  Jiang Wei did not answer, but slowly turned his head and looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di was startled. Did Jiang Wei see Bai Chu's face?

Now the trouble is big. I didn’t expect Jiang Wei to be so lucky. He could still survive after falling from such a high cliff. It’s so abominable!
  Jiang Wei did not testify against Zhu Di, but shook his head slightly and said

"I couldn't see his face clearly.

Only then did Zhu Di feel relieved. As long as he was not discovered, everything would be fine.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he stopped asking any more questions. In his opinion, it was most likely Lao Si who did this.

To handle a case, evidence is required, but Zhu Yuanzhang only needs a list of suspects, which is enough.

"Tell me about your investigation in Peking."

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Jiang Yu to the capital was because of this.

When Jiang Wei heard this, he immediately became excited. He pointed at Zhu Di and shouted:

"Your Majesty, according to the half-year investigation by Wei Chen and his subordinates, it is revealed that King Zhu Di of Yan is plotting evil and is guilty of treason!"

"In the Xishan Racecourse, there are weapons, bows, arrows, and armors made by King Yan himself. Their intentions are obvious. Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly!"

Zhu Di quickly denied, "Slander, you are slandering."

Today, although Jiang Wei is still alive, the witness is dead.

As long as there are no witnesses, Zhu Di has a glimmer of hope. Bai Chu has returned to Peiping long ago to destroy all traces of his rebellion.

Since no evidence could be extracted from the corpse, Zhu Di knew that there was still room for redemption in this matter. However, Jiang Lin just sneered and said:

"Does His Highness King Yan think that Wei Chen has no witnesses, so that's why he said such a thing?"

"Unfortunately, the witness was also very lucky. He just fell from the tree and did not die.

"Your Majesty, I request to summon witnesses to testify."

Seeing Jiang Yu's sarcastic smile, Zhu Di's heart sank and his face became ugly.

He never thought that Jiang Yu and the witness were still alive. Is it true that God wants to kill me?

In fact, it cannot be said that they are lucky. Except for these two, many people in Jinyiwei are still alive.

Mount Tai is not very high, so it looks very steep, but there is flat land around Mount Tai, so the altitude of Mount Tai is higher than other places.

The height of Mount Tai is far beyond what those big mountains in the West can compare to.

Moreover, they fell off a hilltop in Mount Tai, which is relatively remote.

Zhu Yuanzhang witnessed that the witness was still alive and said nothing. He waved his hand and motioned for the witness to enter the hall. Soon, a man in ragged clothes and a simple and honest appearance was carried in.

When the man saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and stammered: "The grass people. The grass people pay homage to Your Majesty.

At this time, Jiang Wei on the side said:
  "Your Majesty, this man is the steward of Xishan Racecourse. He can testify that there are many weapons in Xishan Racecourse, which were hidden by King Yan. "In addition, there are also a large number of ores that were transported to Xishan Racecourse for forging. Weapons and armor, obviously in rebellion. Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and glanced at the steward, and whispered:

"Get up, are you the steward of Prince Yan's Mansion?"

"I am."

“Tell me exactly what you saw in Prince Yan’s Mansion.

Seeing that he was very frightened, Zhu Yuanzhang whispered again:

“After that, you can go home.

The deacon swallowed hard, and then prepared to tell the evidence of Zhu Di's rebellion.

At this moment, Zhu Di had closed his eyes in despair. Although he didn't know who this person was, there were many deacons in Prince Yan's palace. How could he know them all?

Even if they have confidence in their subordinates, how can they resist Jin Yiwei's machinations?

Zhu Yunwen stood aside and looked at Zhu Di's frightened face with interest. This was what he wanted. When the time comes, let’s see how his fourth uncle can still quibble.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for what this witness would say next.

Jiang Wei was horrified and looked at the steward of Prince Yan's Mansion in disbelief.

Peking mansion.

After Bai Chu killed Jiang Wei, he flew directly to the northern Yan Palace and then stopped.

As his magic power became stronger and stronger, he was able to perform the flying technique with ease.

Afterwards, he flew from Shandong to Peiping, and he still felt energetic. It seemed that as long as he had another fifty years of skill, it would not be difficult to get from Peiping to Yingtian City.

At this time, it was getting late, but the lights in Prince Yan's Mansion were still on, and Bai Chu flew directly to Zhu Gaochi's residence.

"Boom boom boom!"

Bai Chu patted Zhu Gaochi's door, and an honest voice immediately came:
  "who is it?"

"I!"

After Bai Chu finished speaking, the figure in the room paused for a moment, then quickly walked over and pushed open the door of the room, "Mr. Bai, is it you? I'm not dreaming, am I?"

When Zhu Gaochi saw Bai Chu, he also had a look of surprise on his face, his eyes were full of disbelief, and Bai Chu also had a look of surprise when he saw Zhu Gaochi.

From a big fat man to a little fat man, the fat on Zhu Gaochi's body seemed to have shrunk and he no longer looked bloated.

A conservative estimate is that Gao Chi only weighs one hundred and forty kilograms now. You must know that he originally weighed two hundred kilograms.

"Gao Chi, congratulations on losing weight.

The joy on Zhu Gaochi's face suddenly froze.

"Mr. Bai, you have hurt me these past few days."

"My mother-in-law saw that I had really lost weight, so she ordered someone to monitor me every day and urged me to run in the morning. If I didn't run for a day, I would be beaten. It was really hard.

Zhu Gaochi's face was twisted, with a bitter look on his face, as if he was remembering some unbearable past events, and he couldn't help but tremble.

Bai Chu looked at the fat man angrily, taking advantage of him and still acting like a good boy.

"Okay, stop pretending to be pitiful. If you can continue to work hard, you can live for at least ten more years.

"I have something important to do. I need to see the old monk and the princess. Take me to them quickly!"

As soon as Zhu Gaochi heard Bai Chu's urgent voice, he knew that this matter was important, so he led Bai Chu to the old monk's residence.

Then someone called his mother and asked her to go to the old monk's house to talk.

Soon, several people gathered in the old monk's room.

"Mr. Bai, what's going on with the prince? Is there any danger?
  After Princess Yan sat down, the first thing she noticed was Zhu Di's situation.

Zhu Di had already left in March. As of August, she had not seen Zhu Di for more than half a year.

Moreover, this time, although Zhu Di was a meritorious minister, he was also removed from military power and recalled directly to the capital. The strangeness in this was obvious to everyone.

Princess Yan, Zhu Gaochi, Old Monk and others also looked at Bai Chu with solemn expressions.

Bai Chu sighed and said truthfully:

"The prince's current situation is very bad, and can even be described as dangerous.

"His Majesty previously sent Jin Yiwei to spy on Beiping. Now they have conclusive evidence and want to accuse the prince of treason."

"And the most important point is that the emperor probably believes that this is true, so this also resulted in the prince being banned from the capital by the emperor, without even a little freedom."
