King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Chapter 123 Guo Huan confesses! Shock the whole country! Zhu Tan is worried!

Inside the restaurant.

Several old gentlemen were sitting gloomily.

The food and wine were already laid out in front of them.

Several people did not move their chopsticks at all.

If someone saw a few of them, they might not be able to help but exclaim.

This is inviting all the Confucianists who were in opposition during the Ming Dynasty!

For example, Hanlin scholars Dong Lun, Chen Yu, and Du Ruquan have become scholars.
  There are also disciples of the great Confucian scholar Kong Xixue, such as Kong Yanji and Kong Yanjing.
  They are all figures with the highest literary talent in the world.

Several people met each other and greeted each other.

Also secretly surprised.

Unexpected.

King Lu actually invited so many people!
  Dong Lun frowned and looked at a few people.

"Everyone, everyone knows that His Royal Highness King Lu threatened to reform the imperial examination, right? To be honest, this is harmful to our Confucianism! Do you want to help him?"

Several people were stunned and looked at Dong Lun.

Chen Yu couldn't help but said: "Mr. Dong, I didn't want to come originally. It was His Royal Highness King Lu's envoy who told me that you, the Kong family, and several old gentlemen were coming, so I came!"

Dong Lun was stunned and said: "I didn't want to come! It was His Royal Highness King Lu's envoy who said that you and the Kong family were willing to come, so I wanted to come and have a look!
  I'm just curious, why do you, as Confucian disciples, still do things that harm Confucianism? "

moment.

Several old gentlemen reconciled the accounts.

They all got excited!
  "Emotions, this is how everyone comes here! This King Lu is tricking us! How can it be unreasonable!"

The two Kong family members looked at everyone and smiled bitterly.

"It's not like we were deceived. The main reason is that we have no choice. His Royal Highness King Nalu sent someone to tell us that our Kong family is living in his vassal. If we don't care about him."

Dong Lun said angrily: "This is simply unreasonable! How dare he threaten Duke Yan Sheng? I will unite my colleagues to sue him! Even if he is a prince, there is no reason to bully the descendants of the saint!"

Kong Yanji smiled bitterly and said, "It's not a threat at all."

Dong Lun said coldly: "You've already spoken like this, isn't it a threat?"

Kong Yanji shook his head and said: "The envoy just said that if you don't care, His Highness King Lu didn't say anything else."

Dong Lun:.
  Finally, he said helplessly: "Sure enough, a gentleman can bully someone! Hmph!"

Dong Lun frowned and said: "Since His Highness King Nalu used this method to fool us, it's easy to handle!
  In any case, we are all children of saints. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with making the Four Books and Five Classics the only items in the imperial examination!

In this world, if we don’t need the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, what will we use?
  After a while, when His Highness King Nalu comes, we all say goodbye! Don't help him!
  He can't force us to teach, can he? "

Chen Yu nodded and said: "I agree with what Mr. Dong said! You can't do this! Otherwise, no one can hope to gain a foothold in Shilin in the future!"

Kong Yanji smiled bitterly and said, "If none of you are willing, then I am also willing to quit!"

Dong Lun said with a smile: "Okay! As long as you all work together, we will not agree to whatever the king of Lu does! We five gentlemen will fight against the king of Lu together. It will be a good story in Shilin in the future! Haha! .”

After hearing Dong Lun's words, everyone also laughed.

suddenly.

The door creaked and someone pushed it open.

A boy of sixteen or seventeen came in.

All smiles.

"Masters, why are you so happy? You might as well tell me and let me be happy too!"

Everyone looked at each other.

No one paid attention to Zhu Tan.

Zhu Tan was not embarrassed either.

Soon, under the introduction of his entourage, he greeted everyone one by one.

Dong Lun suddenly snorted and said: "Your Highness is so smart! He actually made us think that the other would come to the appointment and deceived us all! But this trick was too clumsy! We saw through it in one fell swoop!"

Zhu Tan nodded and said with a smile: "Master found out at just the right time. If it had been earlier, he wouldn't have reached Yingtian!"

Dong Lun was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Your Highness, although Dong has a low position, he will not be bullied by you!

Let’s make it clear!

This Hengzhong Academy is inexplicable and unimaginable. It is a great harm to Confucianism and a great harm to the world! Even if you talk about breaking the sky, I won't go in and be your husband! "

Zhu Tan was not angry when he heard Dong Lun's words.

He had already guessed this situation.

After all, these people are among the top Confucian scholars today.

How could you do something that harms Confucianism and Taoism?

Zhu Tan chuckled and said, "Sir, don't be anxious. They say everything is easy to discuss."

Dong Lun said angrily: "No need to discuss! Even if I die, I won't help you!"

Zhu Tan shook his head.

This old man is too stubborn, so don’t rush to defeat him yet.

First attack the ones that look easy to talk to.

For example, those two from the Kong family.

The two of them are considered to be the great Confucian scholars of this generation.

Although he did not become an official, his reputation in Shilin was extremely high.

Originally, it was a lie.

Given their status, these two might not be willing to come.

However, there is no way.

Who made Qufu happen to be on the border of Yanzhou?

He was the biggest boss in Yanzhou, and no matter how stubborn Yan Shenggong was, he would not dare to refuse him.

What's more.

Yanshenggong rarely refused people.

The so-called world cultivator surrendered to Biao Yanshenggong.
  People just want to become a saint, and it doesn't matter who allows them to become saints.

Therefore, Zhu Tan just asked the envoy to have some thoughts.

The two great scholars were eagerly sent over there.

Zhu Tan looked at Kong Yanji and said with a smile: "Mr. Kong, no matter what, I would like to thank you for your support of our Hengzhong Academy!"

Kong Yanji smiled bitterly but did not speak yet.

Zhu Tan added: "I know that my husband is very busy on weekdays, and no matter how high his status is as a scholar, it is rare for ordinary people to meet him once! So naturally this set of cultivation should not be too low! Let me tell you the number!"

Dong Lun snorted and said: "Mencius said that wealth cannot be fornicated, poverty and lowliness cannot change power, and it cannot be subdued! Your Highness, King Lu, you are really naive if you want to buy us with money!"

Zhu Tan nodded and sighed: "Oh, that's right! I also thought that twenty thousand taels of silver in the past six months is indeed a bit shabby! I will add one thousand taels of silver! It can be regarded as a meeting gift for Mr. Yes! What do you think, sir?"

The words fell.

The whole room was instantly quiet, no one dared to breathe out, and you could hear a pin drop in the room.

Kong Yanji looked at Zhu Tan blankly and stammered: "Your Highness, you just said, how much is half a year?"

Zhu Tan looked at Kong Yanji and said, "Twenty thousand taels of silver in half a year."

When several old gentlemen heard this, their eyes began to shine!

Half a year!

Twenty thousand taels of silver!
  What a concept!
  At that time, the salary of a first-grade official in the Ming Dynasty was only about 1000 taels of silver per year. If you include the hidden deductions for issuing treasure notes, you would only get 700 taels of silver per year!

When Kong Yanji heard Zhu Tan's words, his whole body felt unreal! All right.

You can get 2 taels of silver in half a year!

This is equivalent to the salary of a first-class official in the Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years!
  In this Ming Dynasty, is there any official who can live more than 20 years?

joke!

Song Lian, Liu Bowen, Hu Weiyong
  These famous scholars of the time all died violent deaths in the end!

Who can get a salary of 2 taels of silver?
  What now?
  As long as you teach comfortably for half a year, you can get it.

What else can you say!
  Even if some scholars are dissatisfied, it will only last for a while!

Compared with 2 taels, is reputation really that important?

What's more, it took half a year to teach fifty unlearned and unskilled nobles to become Jinshi. Kong Yanji didn't even think about such a thing, but he thought it was a fantasy!
  Zhu Tan is bound to lose anyway. If that's the case, then he doesn't count as helping him to harm Confucianism!

If by then a few of these fifty noble disciples emerge as Jinshi, it will prove that they are powerful enough and can become a good talk among scholars in the future.

On the contrary, if even one of these fifty noble disciples does not become a Jinshi, it proves that you are just working hard but not contributing!
  It doesn’t mean that you have broken your moral integrity, but you can still become a good talk among scholars!
  No matter what, this is a sure profit, and only a fool would not do it!
  Kong Yanji nodded and said: "Since His Highness is so sincere, I can't bear to betray His Highness' good intentions! Before coming, Duke Yan Sheng also made an explanation! Your Highness treats my Kong family well, and if Your Highness has orders, you must not refuse easily!"

The words fell.

The remaining people couldn't help but curse secretly in their hearts!

How come the alliance we just agreed to boycott Zhu Tan was defeated by 2 taels of silver?
  But that’s 2 taels.
  If Zhu Tan takes this to test himself
  Zhu Tan said with a smile: "Sir, if you want treasure money, it would be 8 yuan! I don't follow the example of the imperial court. I issue treasure money openly and withhold payment secretly!"

When several old gentlemen heard this, they coughed crazily.

Why are you still attacking the imperial court after saying this?

You are a prince and you are not afraid of being beheaded. Who among us can bear it?
  This is King Lu.
  He is indeed a lunatic!

He always says crazy things!
  Kong Yanji said without hesitation: "It should be silver! I feel uncomfortable when I smell the ink smell of treasure notes."

Are you kidding? Nowadays, the imperial court strictly restricts the use of gold and silver, and even punishes and confiscates it once discovered.
  On weekdays, everyone wants to exchange treasure notes into silver, but it is extremely difficult!

Even with this ratio, it may not be possible to exchange for it!

However, the price of treasure notes is depreciating day by day. Now the exchange ratio with silver is 4:1. God knows what it will be like in half a year.

In the first year of Hongwu's reign, it was still 1:1.
  Several old masters looked at Kong Yanji a little unhappy.

The principles are the same all over the world. Seeing your peers making money is more uncomfortable than losing money yourself.

Dong Lun couldn't help but said: "It turns out that Mr. Kong doesn't like the smell of ink. Then the smell of ink on this book"

"Not the same taste!"

Confucius said that auspicious faces do not change their appearance.

"Anyway, I just don't like the smell of ink on the banknotes!"

Dong Lun:.
  Shameless old thief!

suddenly.

Zhu Tan looked at Chen Yu again and smiled slightly.

He had noticed that the old master looked at him with enthusiasm.

It’s almost like shouting “Choose me, choose me, choose me”
  "The same goes for Mr. Chen! I wonder how about twenty-one thousand taels of silver in half a year?"

Chen Yu said without hesitation: "No problem! I don't like the smell of ink on treasure notes either!"

Zhu Tan nodded.

Subsequently.

Asked a lot.

Finally, he looked at Dong Lun who looked a little embarrassed.

Dong Lun snorted: "I just offended His Highness! You still know yourself! I just need to resign!"

Zhu Tan smiled.

I guess Dong Lun is also tempted by this salary!
  However, what he just said was so deadly that it can no longer be reconciled!
  However, Dong Lun's Confucianism level is also extremely strong.

Back then, he even received praise from his father.

He is considered a leader among scholars.

If he is allowed to guide these noble children, the probability of success will be higher.

Zhu Tan, whether before time travel or now, has one greatest advantage, that is, he does not hold grudges.

I really had a grudge and avenged it on the spot.

As for Dong Lun, that's not the case.

His use value is far higher than revenge on him!
  If that's the case, why not continue to take advantage of it?
  Zhu Tan smiled and said: "Old Master Dong! Why bother leaving in a hurry?"

Dong Lun snorted: "If you don't leave, let's see how you all work together to harm Confucianism! I have integrity!"

Zhu Tan nodded and said: "I have always respected you sir!
  However, I feel that you are teaching at Hengzhong Academy just for the sake of Confucianism, right? "

Dong Lun frowned and said, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"

Zhu Tan smiled and said: "This king is rich!
  But no matter how much money you have, one day it will be used up!
  For example, today, it will cost 10 taels of silver to prescribe a set of clothes to a few gentlemen!

So if the old gentleman agrees to teach at Hengzhong Academy and takes away the 2 taels of silver, wouldn't he be weakening my power?
  Since I am harmful to Confucianism, aren't you helping Confucianism by weakening my power? "

Hear this.

Dong Lun's eyes showed hesitation for the first time.

Although he knew that Zhu Tan's words were pure nonsense, they did give him an excuse to stay here!

People are all about face.

Now that Zhu Tan has given him the opportunity to step down, there is no need for him to hold on.

After all, there are 2 taels of silver lying there!
  The ancients said that there is a golden house in a book, but after reading it for so many years, I have never seen a golden house. Now that a golden house has really crashed down in front of me, do I still have to give up?

Zhu Tan continued to smile and said: "Old Master Dong, think about it, it takes half a year to teach a group of ignorant and unskilled nobles to become Jinshi!

Are you really sure about this ability? "

Dong Lun shook his head and said: "Your Highness, I'm not hiding this from you! Before coming here, I didn't believe you could succeed! With my ability, I don't even dare to be confident enough to think that I can teach these people to become Jinshi. !
  I didn’t think you could win this bet from the beginning! "

Zhu Tan smiled and said: "That's right!

Since I am bound to lose, no matter how you teach me, you are not helping me!

What's more, if I invite you such Confucian masters, I can't let these noble disciples be reborn and transformed!
  That also proves that what I say and do is ridiculous! It also proves that my previous remarks about the Four Books and Five Classics are just fantastic!

No matter how you say it, you are helping Confucianism by coming to teach at Hengzhong Academy! "

Dong Lun said tangledly: "What Your Highness said makes sense, and I understand it. It's just that I received your money. It looks like I was bribed!"

Zhu Tan laughed and said: "Accept it critically!"

Dong Lun heard the word "critical".

In an instant, his eyes no longer struggled.

He nodded and said: "Then I will take it!"

Leave the restaurant.

Sitting on the sedan chair.

Zhu Tan sighed.

Why are you so busy?

No free time at all!

I have just finished handling the affairs of several old masters, and now I have to rush to deal with the Guo Huan case.

I heard that Guo Huan is now imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

The father arranged several assistants for himself.

They are Wu Yong, the right interrogator of the Criminal Division, Wang Pingquan, the deputy censor of the Imperial Procuratorate, and Sun Zhengang, the Qianhu of the Jin Yiwei. Zhu Tan remembered.

Wu Yong is the ultimate scapegoat in history.

He killed countless people for Lao Zhu, and was then pushed out to calm the public's anger.

soon.

Arrive at the Penal Department Yamen.

at this time.

Wu Yong, Wang Pingquan, and Sun Zhengang were all waiting at the door.

Except these three people.

Wang Huidi, the Minister of Punishment, also waited at the door with his people.

"My lord, please see Your Highness!"

Zhu Tan waved his hand and said unceremoniously: "Master Wang, there are only four of us handling the case! You should avoid it first!"

If I remember correctly, the Minister of Punishment in front of me also colluded with Guo Huan, and soon the result was that his head was in a different place.

There is no need for me to be polite to him.

Jin Yiwei also kept a close eye on this matter.

Therefore, when Guo Huan was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, the Jinyiwei men guarded the door of the cell day and night, not daring to delay for a moment, for fear that he would be assassinated.

When Wang Huidi heard this, his expression changed.

I had no choice but to retreat.

soon.

Zhu Tan and others entered a hall.

The surrounding area has been alerted by Jin Yiwei's people.

Zhu Tan frowned and said, "How is the case investigation going?"

Wu Yong smiled bitterly.

"Then Guo Huan is honest! Now he is afraid of being punished and just wants to die quickly, so he explains everything very clearly!"

talking.

Give Zhu Tan a confession.

Zhu Tan looked at it.

There is also Guo Huan's signature and seal on it.

nodded.

Started reading.

the first.

The five prefectures and prefectures of Yingtian, Xuancheng, Taiping, Guangde, and Zhenjiang were the "places to rejuvenate the king" at that time, which were also the base areas where Zhu Yuanzhang raised his troops. Because they had long been responsible for supplying corvees and food to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered All official land and taxes in these places will be reduced or exempted, and official land will be levied at half.

However, in actual implementation, not a single bit of the tax revenue from official land in these prefectures was turned over to the national treasury, and all was sold off privately by Guo Huan and the official Zhang Qin!
  second.

The autumn grain collected by the Ministry of Revenue last year should have been put into the warehouse for 450 million shi, but Guo Huan and others only received 60 shi, including 200 million shi of grain converted into treasure notes, but they also embezzled 190 million shi!

Moreover, Guo Huan and others accepted bribes from Zhejiang and other prefectures, which amounted to 50 taels, which would be more than 10 taels if converted into silver!
  He also ordered Huang Wen, the prefecture and county official, and others to collude with local officials to continue the fraud and secretly share the court's tax revenue with an unknown amount.

third.

When relevant agencies in western Zhejiang levied taxes and grains, they levied excessive amounts of money. For example, for one stone of rice, they asked for 100 Wen for water, 300 Wen for carriage, and 100 Wen for food. The acceptance fee is 100 Wen, the money for gods and Buddhas is 100 Wen, and even the containers for holding grains are charged 100 Wen. In addition to 2 Guan of banknotes for one stone of rice, 900 Wen is charged for miscellaneous fees!
  All these miscellaneous expenses also fell into the pockets of Guo Huan and others.

fourth.

Guo Huan and others accepted bribes from the five prefectures in Taiping today and did not collect the horse grass that should be collected, but put this burden on Anqing and other places that had already collected horse grass.

fifth.

It’s even more shocking!

Guo Huan and others ordered his subordinates to secretly allow some large grain payers to mix water with beans and grain to increase the weight!
  In this way, they only need to use less grain to pay the corresponding taxes, but once the grain is stained with water, it will cause the entire grain in the warehouse to become rotten!

At that time, the capacity of each warehouse was as high as tens of thousands of stones. This time, the court suffered countless losses!
  The specific number needs to be carefully investigated.

Zhu Tan saw this.

I just felt dizzy.

Except for these clearly explained things.

There are still some things that are unclear.

That is, during the years when Guo Huan was in charge of the Ministry of Accounts, all the accounts he made were false!

For example, the grain tax paid by Luoyang Mansion, the Chief Envoy of Henan Province, to the Ministry of Household Affairs was 3 million shi, but after it was put into the warehouse, Guo Huan added two columns and changed it to 5 million shi!

The grain tax paid by the Qingzhou Prefecture of Shandong Province to the Ministry of Household Affairs was one million dan, but Guo Huan added a few strokes and changed it to 6 million dan!

This is just an example, not a real number, but after so many years of changes by Guo Huan, it has become a mess, and the taxes are actually all fictitious.

And a very terrifying thing was revealed in this, that is, Guo Huan actually colluded with more than a dozen officials from the chief envoys across the country, including those from various states!

The fraud for so many years has caused countless losses to the court!
  Look at the confession in front of you.

Zhu Tan was completely confused.

At the beginning.

Zhu Tan also thought about not spreading, not being implicated, and not involving the whole country.
  But now, according to Lao Zhu's temperament that does not tolerate sand, how can he not be implicated!
  The clues to the crime are so clear that every officer has no choice but to investigate!

Besides, there are Jin Yiwei all over the country, so it is not difficult to find out some problems.

It just depends on how the court handles it and how it is determined!

Simultaneously.

Zhu Tan was also a little skeptical.

Did Guo Huan do this on purpose?
  In short, he is going to die, and it is normal to bring out more unlucky people.

even.

Zhu Tan was suspicious.

Is this Guo Huan thinking that the law should not be punished, so he has bitten out a large number of officials from the six ministries?

For example, Zhao Mao, the Minister of Rites, Wang Huidi, the Minister of Punishments, the Acting Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Mai Zhide, the Minister of Zuo.
  Zhao Mao's crime was to plead for mercy for more than a dozen relatives from his hometown in western Zhejiang, undercounting the land and underpaying land tax by 20,000 shi!
  Wang Huidi's crime was that when he was dealing with five or six corrupt officials, he let them off lightly, suppressed the case, and secretly let them go!
  Mai Zhide simply conspired with Guo Huan!

The two of them resold a lot of corrupt food together!
  However, Guo Huan was vague about the details of these matters and could not explain them clearly at all.

Zhu Tan had every reason to suspect that he was making a false accusation.

The purpose is to implicate senior officials of the Manchu Dynasty!
  When the time comes, when Lao Zhu sees how serious the situation is, he might be able to be lenient to everyone!
  Zhu Tan couldn't help but shook his head.

This Guo Huan has become the acting minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

That's not such a naive idea, is it?

Both the airlift case and the Hu Weiyong case killed tens of thousands of people!
  How could Lao Zhu not handle it just because you implicated so many people?

at this time.

The three of them all looked at Zhu Tan eagerly.

Wu Yong couldn't help but said: "Your Highness! Now that I am afraid of the truth, do I want to continue to arrest people and continue the trial?"

Zhu Tan glared at Wu Yong.

"Continue to arrest people? Continue to interrogate? If you continue to interrogate, how will your Majesty go to court tomorrow morning? How many officials are left who can go to court?"

Wu Yong smiled bitterly and said: "Otherwise, I can only submit his opinion to His Majesty!"

Zhu Tan nodded.

He put away his confession and said: "I, the king, should think about this matter! I will go to the palace tomorrow to report to His Majesty! You go back first!"

The three of them looked at each other.

Who among you doesn't know that His Majesty has a fiery temperament!

Now you say wait, maybe His Majesty will curse tomorrow!
  but.

After all, it was the prince who was doing the errands in front of him, so no one dared to say anything.

Had to take orders and disperse.

Zhu Tan looked at Sun Zhengang of the Qianhu of the Jinyi Guards and said: "Sun Qianhu! You have arranged the right people, and you must ensure that Guo Huan's life is safe! If anything happens, I will only ask you!"

Sun Zhengang cupped his hands and said: "I obey your orders! Your Highness, don't worry!"

Zhu Tan returned to the princes' palace with his confession.

His brows were furrowed.

at this time.

In the King's Pavilion.

A reception room in Zhutan.

Two people stood.

They are Shi Yinshao, the left chief of the palace.

and Chen Weiwei, a professional "killing chicken" in the palace.

Although Chen Huwei is a man on the battlefield, he has great experience in tracking and investigating matters, and he can be regarded as a very trustworthy assistant.

Zhu Tan suspected from the beginning that the Guo Huan case was not simple, so he specially mobilized Chen Huwei to bring over a dozen capable people. Several of them were good spies who had been on the battlefield and were even better than those borrowed from his uncle Guo Ying. Ordinary Jin Yiwei are even stronger.

These people are responsible for keeping track of several case investigators.

Jinyiwei was mainly responsible for the emperor and was unlikely to be corrupted. Zhu Tan did not doubt Sun Zhengang of Thousand Households from the beginning.

What's more, the people in Jinyiwei are extremely vigilant, and the skills of the people under him may not be better than others.

Therefore, Zhu Tan had no intention of investigating them, otherwise it would be inappropriate if it caused misunderstanding.

Zhu Tan said to Chen Huwei: "Next, I will assign you a task to keep an eye on Wu Yong, the right judge of the Criminal Division, and Wang Pingquan, the left deputy of the Imperial Procuratorate! What did they say and do on weekdays? , remember clearly everyone you meet, and never alert the enemy, otherwise, you know the consequences!"

Guard Chen respectfully accepted the order.

Yin Shao beside him couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, these two are both high-ranking officials of the third rank of Zhongzheng. Is it inappropriate to follow them like this?"

Zhu Tan nodded and said: "It's indeed inappropriate! Otherwise, I will assign you a task. Go and have a good chat with these two people and ask them to explain clearly what I want to know. If you can't do it, I will How about the king chop off your head?"

Yin Shao laughed dryly and said, "I think this is the most appropriate arrangement for Your Highness!
  These people can only tell the truth if they keep a close eye on them. "

Zhu Tan snorted.

Soon, everyone left the King's Pavilion.

Sneaking into the night.

Zhu Tan sat quietly on the chair.

Looking at the confession in his hand.

This confession is obviously incomplete.

The biggest problem is that Guo Huan did not account for those Shanxi merchants!
  Wu Qingchen, a Shanxi merchant, wrote Guo Huan's sins so clearly that it is impossible to say that there was no collusion between the two.

In the confession, Wu Yong also asked Guo Huan if he knew Wu Qingchen, but Guo Huan denied it at the time!

This made Zhu Tan even more unbelievable.

A person who even had to account for all the princes in the court, and even more than a dozen chief envoys across the country, from the chief envoy to the prefecture, state, and county, would actually protect a person. Merchant?
  How can it be?

Zhu Tan now feels that there must be something wrong with this confession!

He served as the chief judge of the entire case, but did not participate in Guo Huan's trial.

They were all judged by three people.

In fact.

Zhu Tan also wanted to avoid it at first.

Now it seems that it was the right thing to avoid.

It can be said that if such a big issue is found out, everyone in the world will be offended.

Fortunately, Zhu Tan did not participate in it. He was only responsible for summarizing the information in one name. When the time comes, the scapegoats will also be these three people.

However, the disadvantage of this is that if the three people conspire together, if they want to deceive Zhu Tan or even Lao Zhu, it will be easy!
  now.

Follow-up investigation is one aspect.

on the other hand.

I still have to see Guo Huan with my own eyes and ask some questions clearly!
  But why can the Jinyiwei, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Criminal Trial Department collude together?
  impossible!

Why did Guo Huan want to protect Wu Qingchen to the death?
  Or is it that Wu Yong, Wang Pingquan and Sun Zhengang erased his name in order to protect Wu Qingchen?
  For a while.

Zhu Tan had a huge headache thinking about it.

suddenly.

A pair of soft pancreas caressed Zhu Tan's head.

Massage him gently.

Zhu Tan chuckled.

There's no need to guess who's coming, she must be his dear princess.

Zhu Tan gently stroked Tang's hand.

Still surprisingly delicate and smooth!
  Tang's jade hands trembled slightly.

But he still let Zhu Tan catch it in his hand.

But her eyes were closed tightly, her eyelashes were trembling slightly, her pretty face was red, and she didn't dare to move.

Zhu Tan stood up suddenly and hugged Tang tightly.

Tang said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty!"

Zhu Tan smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

Tang said: "Didn't you have a headache just now?"

Zhu Tan nodded and said, "It's just a headache! But now that the princess is here, I will be fine!"

Tang said: "If that's all right, I'll resign!"

Zhu Tan said with a smile: "Okay. I will retreat with you!"

Tang's face turned red and said, "No, it's not good!"

Zhu Tan smiled and said: "Then I will not retreat, but advance! If you retreat, then advance! If you advance, then retreat!"

Tang was stunned for a long time.

Suddenly, he was suddenly picked up by Zhu Tan.

For Zhu Tan.

Right now, the best way to solve your worries is to do something happy first.

Beiping.

Prince Yan's Mansion.

Zhu Di, Seng Daoyan, Jin Zhong, Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng were discussing matters in the mansion.

Suddenly, Zhu Di looked at a letter in his hand, his face full of shock!
  I couldn't help but lost my voice and said: "How is it possible! Duke Wei is getting better!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this!
  Monk Daoyan was surprised: "How can Duke Wei be cured of such a serious illness?"

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing and said: "It's really great! This matter was written by Zengshou himself! There is no problem! I want to tell the princess about this good thing! Haha"
