My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 203 Killer

  Zhang Anshi hurried back to Qixia.

   Qixia is already a mess.

  Zhu Jin led a group of people to clean up.

   Fortunately, although there was a big commotion, not many ordinary people were accidentally injured.

  As for those rebellious soldiers, Wei Guogong Xu Huizu had already mobilized various troops to chase and intercept them.

  Zhang Anshi called Zhu Jin over, sat down and asked, "Is everyone here?"

  Zhu Jin said: "I've arrived a long time ago, the arrangements have been made."

Zhang Anshi then said: "Investigate Zhang Xingyuan... Hurry up, what I promised His Majesty is within three days, this is a loophole I deliberately sold to show that this matter is very difficult, but in fact, I will enter the palace tomorrow , solve this matter."

   Zhu Jin listened and pondered carefully.

Wonderful, it turns out that whatever you encounter, you have to show the appearance of difficulties, no matter how sure and easy it is, it must appear very tricky, and then complete it quickly. Do your best.

learnt!

  Zhu Jin looked at Zhang Anshi with eyes full of admiration: "Yes."

  Zhang Anshi sighed and said: "We need to post a notice to reassure the people. If something like this happens, people and merchants will inevitably suffer losses. You can ask someone to sort it out and report the losses. We will give some compensation."

  Zhu Jin said in surprise: "This... we also want to pay compensation?"

  Zhang Anshi glared at him and said: "You know what, how much money can you get for pensions? But word of mouth is earned, and this word of mouth is the real cornucopia."

  Zhu Jin's eyes lit up suddenly, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the little one was confused for a while."

  After finishing everything, Zhang Anshi took a comfortable rest.

   In the early morning of the next day, he entered the palace again to have an audience.

  Zhu Di was indeed very professional. He chose his confidantes, etc., and lived in the next hall in person.

   "Your Majesty..."

  Early in the morning, Yi Shiha's eyes were red and swollen, bloodshot, but he tiptoedly poured tea and water for Zhu Di, and said, "Wei Guogong has wiped out the rebels."

  Zhu Di nodded: "All the military officers will be beheaded. Ordinary soldiers... It is definitely impossible to be involved in the rebellion. They should be mixed with other guards."

"Yes."

Zhu Di went on to say: "This time, the Model Camp, and Neiqianhusuo... have made a lot of contributions. Of course, the one who made the biggest contribution is Zhang Anshi... Such a contribution has to be rewarded. Originally, I thought he was young, and I wanted to suppress him." A pressure, let him be more stable, but this time...he solved the big case of my confidant for me."

  Yi Shi laughed and said: "Yes, if you don't reward, I'm afraid others will also gossip."

  Zhu Di said thoughtfully: "Moreover, there is a big reward, and I want to teach the world how to give rain and dew to a man like Zhang Anshi who is loyal to the country."

  Yi Shiha heart said, His Majesty has given us five hundred taels of silver for so many years, so what is the big reward?

  However, Zhu Di's words stopped abruptly, but he didn't continue to speak in depth, but said: "You worked hard last night, I was a little sleepy, and I took a nap, you should have stayed up all night."

   "Yes." Yi Shiha said: "But the servants are used to it, and they are still energetic now."

   As he spoke, he blinked his bloodshot eyes, looking energetic.

Zhu Di smiled and said: "The Marquis of the Yuan Dynasty... is indeed a tree with deep roots. After the trial of Zhang Xingyuan yesterday, I just realized that there are some people in this world who can never be bought. No matter how hard I win people's hearts, can it be better The tartar?"

  "In the eyes of the Tartars, the Central Plains is just something they stole, not their own. Naturally, they can borrow flowers to offer Buddha... It is understandable for the descendants of these princes to feel resentment."

He paused, then continued: "As for this list of Xingyuan and his property, I am not greedy for these things, but if these things fall into the hands of outsiders, it will also make me sleepless! So... must take After getting it, I just don't know how Zhang Anshi's second-hand man has arranged it."

  Yi Shi laughed and said: "When I saw that Zhang Xingyuan, I wanted to die with all my heart. This man is so smart, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to teach him to submit."

  Zhu Di nodded: "It is because it is difficult, so I can only rely on Zhang Anshi."

  But at this moment, Zhu Di suddenly changed the subject and said, "What did Wenyuan Pavilion do in the past two days?"

  Yi Shiha truthfully said: "After the incident, several academicians from Wenyuan Pavilion were on duty. They met the six ministers and nine ministers who came to inquire about the news, but... nothing happened."

  Zhu Di nodded his head and said, "I see."

   After a while, an **** hurried in and said, "Your Majesty... Marquis Annan, please see me."

  Zhu Di cheered up all of a sudden, and smiled joyfully with piercing eyes: "Why so fast? This kid...has he already found a way?"

  Suddenly, Zhu Di blushed. Although it was only a one-night effort, he felt that he had been waiting for a long time, so he immediately said: "Order Zhang Anshi to continue the trial, and I will still listen."

  Yi Shiha also pulled himself together, he thought that he would not be able to close his eyes for a few days and nights, but now he is fine, if he can finish the interrogation today, he will be relieved.

   Sure enough, not long after, Zhang Anshi entered the palace and met Zhu Di first. Zhu Di did not ask any further questions, and directly led Zhang Anshi into the small hall.

   But Zhang Xingyuan was **** and his mouth was gagged with a cloth. It wasn't intentionally to make him suffer, but because he was afraid that he would commit suicide.

  The cloth ball was taken out of his mouth, and he began to cough desperately, coughing half a loud hissing lung, and finally managed to recover.

Zhang Xingyuan said intermittently: "cough cough...cough cough...why...can't bear to interrogate me again? I said earlier, don't try to learn anything from me...cough cough...my dying person has already passed away Everything is underestimated. Instead of spending a lot of time, it is better...to use torture directly. I am weak, and I shouldn’t last long. I will be tortured by you for a few days...It’s almost...almost...cough cough...I can go to the underworld and end this world thing."

  Zhang Anshi smiled at him and said, "I thought you would be able to think clearly this night. Who knows, you still don't know how to repent."

  Zhang Xingyuan actually smiled and said: "I'm...that's how it is...cough cough...but I won't change things easily, and I won't think hard about things I don't understand."

Zhang Anshi said: "Since you are determined to beg for death, then well, I will fulfill you too, I know...you must not want to say anything, so it doesn't matter if you don't say anything, I will find out about your party members sooner or later , it's just a matter of spending a little more effort. It's just..."

   Speaking of this, Zhang Anshi seemed to pause on purpose.

  Zhang Xingyuan said: "Don't be a fool, you are a smart person... Now that you know that I have made up my mind..."

  Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "It's just... since it's life and death, you should meet your relatives for the last time anyway. You know, I'm kind..."

  After Zhang Anshi finished speaking, he said loudly, "Bring them all in..."

  Zhang Xingyuan smiled and said: "My relatives are all in Monan, where they... are very happy...they..."

  When Zhang Xingyuan spoke, there was sarcasm on his face. He judged that Zhang Anshi was just suspicious, and he just wanted to mess with his mind.

   But next... the door of the palace is opened.

   Immediately, dozens of people from the model battalion escorted dozens of people into the camp.

  Zhang Xingyuan looked up...for a moment, his face turned pale.

   "Mother...Mother..." He struggled, looking at the person who came in first.

   And then...

  He saw his wife Wu Shi and two concubines.

  Of course...and his son...and...six or seven grandchildren who were brought in.

  The ancients married early. Although Zhang Xingyuan was only forty years old, in fact, the eldest grandson was already six or seven years old.

  He took a deep breath, but seeing these people...all were crying.

  Looking at the crowd of people who came in, what he saw was only his own close relatives, as for other relatives... there are quite a few.

   Zhang Xingyuan's old mother cried when she saw Zhang Xingyuan.

  At this moment, Zhang Xingyuan struggled to kneel down. Although he was still tied up, he knocked his head on the ground, and said in his mouth: "The child is not filial..."

  Suddenly, chaos began to appear in the temple.

  The officers and soldiers of the Model Battalion had to hold down a few people who were trying to pounce on Zhang Xingyuan.

  Zhang Xingyuan howled: "Why are you here, why are you here...Aren't you in Monan...Why did you enter the Central Plains...cough cough..."

  He wept bitterly.

  Zhang Anshi couldn't bear to see such a happy family scene, so he turned his face away.

   Zhu Di couldn't help but be very happy, interesting, interesting...

  Of course, Zhu Di also had doubts at this time. These people... are in Monan, and Zhang Xingyuan knows that what he is doing is a decapitation business. Naturally, it is impossible for his relatives to enter the Central Plains to take risks.

   Zhang Xingyuan immediately turned towards Zhang Anshi and cursed angrily; "Zhang Anshi, I'm into you..."

  Before he could say a word of mother, Zhang Anshi was furious.

   However, someone is more angry than Zhang Anshi.

  A model battalion soldier slapped Zhang Xingyuan's mother to the ground angrily.

   Zhang Xingyuan screamed, Zhang Xingyuan's eyes were burning, and he was trembling with excitement, but he didn't dare to vent his anger.

Zhang Anshi had to turn his head away again. Perhaps in the values ​​of the ancients, human life is worthless. What's more, people like Zhang Xingyuan, or even his entire family, rely on the blood of others to maintain themselves for more than ten generations. rich.

   Can let Zhang Anshi see people beat orphans and widows, Zhang Anshi still can't bear it after all, even if he kills him with a knife, it is much better than this.

  But Zhang Anshi couldn't show his timidity. He had to show a cruel look. After taking a deep breath, he stared at Zhang Xingyuan: "Do you know why...they came to the Central Plains?"

  Zhang Xingyuan burst into tears, and opened his mouth to say something, but his throat seemed blocked.

Zhang Anshi continued: "It's very simple, because I gave you money... You Han people living in Monan can't adapt to the life of the Tatars living in the grass. In Monan, you have your own place to settle. That's too Fu, I told you a long time ago, Tatar Khan, did send a team of people to protect them, but at the same time as I contacted the Taifu, I paid money for the guards that protect you, and their price is relatively cheap. With a population of one thousand taels, they took hundreds of households in this settlement to move in the direction of Daning in the name of emigrating to another place under the order of the Taifu , wait there, as soon as they arrive, immediately start hijacking."

"I didn't know your identity before, and I didn't know which of these hundreds of households was related to you, it doesn't matter, anyway... After they were intercepted, they were all taken to Nanjing. Impenetrable...Yesterday, since I found out that you are Zhang Xingyuan, then...things will be easy to handle. Just pick out all the people who are related to your Zhang family from the center. Look...Zhang Xingyuan, so I said, It is really good to have money, of course, I know you have money too, but you are still confused..."

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "You are obviously rich, but what you think about every day is how to use your brain, consciously use your intelligence to do what you can, and feel how many tricks you have arranged. I'm afraid...you are still complacent in your heart." .”

"But that's not the case." Zhang Anshi said: "There are many things that don't need to use your brain. Why bother, are you tired? If the other party doesn't accept it, then continue to increase the price until Make an offer that the other party cannot refuse. Look... you sold 300,000 taels. And your family didn't spend much, just 80,000 to 90,000 taels. If you think about it, rack your brains, no matter how many conspiracies and tricks you come up with, the effect will be one hundred and one thousand times stronger."

  Zhang Xingyuan's body trembled, his face was pale, his face began to twist, and his eyes showed unwillingness and resentment.

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "I know that your time is short, but you are stubborn, and you will never cooperate with your majesty and me, but what does it matter, not everyone is like you, you can be calm Facing failure, but they..."

Zhang Anshi pointed to Zhang Xingyuan's relatives: "But they... can't do what you do, so... I will not torture you, nor will I kill you, but I will protect you well and give you good clothes. wear clothes, give you good food to eat, and make you fat and fat, but... your relatives, I want to teach your whole family, let them suffer torture in front of you every day, you know it well, in this regard, Our Jinyiwei of Ming Dynasty...is not inferior to your methods."

  Crying came from the hall, Zhang Xingyuan's mother, wife and children cried together.

  Zhang Xingyuan showed a look of misery, and suddenly let out a roar, and then...he coughed desperately...

   Bloody spittle overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he finally said with a grim expression: "Can you give them a happy time?"

  Zhang Anshi said: "Yes."

  Zhang Xingyuan said: "Hey...then I hope Marquis Annan...can keep his word."

  Zhang Anshidao: "You can only choose to trust me."

Zhang Xingyuan nodded dejectedly: "That's right, that's the only way to go. I'm willing to hand over all the directories I know, as well as our Zhang family's... property hidden in Shandong and Beiping... I just hope you can do what you say... With my kin... it's easier to do it."

  Zhang Anshi glanced at Zhu Di.

  Zhu Di finally spoke at this moment: "I'm sure!"

  Someone untied Zhang Xingyuan and fetched pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

  Zhang Xingyuan is a smart person. In fact, there is no need to say anything more. He picked up the pen slightly tremblingly and began to write the names of each one, and then... wrote down the location of all the belongings.

   After a full cup of tea, he put down his pen: "It's all over here, it's over, everything is over, but...you can torture me for a few days, as for my relatives..."

  Zhang Anshi said: "You can think about it again... Are there any omissions."

  Zhang Xingyuan's face was miserable, like a living dead, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Although I have lost, I have some confidence in my memory."

  Zhang Anshi took the paper and sent it to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di didn't even look at it, and handed the paper directly to Yi Shiha, and said indifferently: "Copy a few copies, and send them to Fusi and Neiqianhu Office of Jinyiwei North Town, and get people...don't miss anyone on the list... "

   As he spoke...he added: "If the disaster doesn't reach your relatives, don't get involved too much. Only take three generations of blood relatives."

  Yi Shiha said: "Your Majesty is benevolent, then... slaves will go now."

  Zhu Di nodded, at this moment... a big stone fell to the ground in his heart, he let out a long sigh of relief, and looked at Zhang Anshi, showing satisfaction.

   "Your Majesty, these people..."

Zhu Di said: "Take it first... After a few days, let's kill them all along with other rebellious parties. Of course, none of these people can stay... However, I have promised that I will give his relatives a good time. What I said is true." It counts."

  Zhang An Shidao: "I originally wanted to cheat him, but I didn't expect your Majesty to be so trustworthy, and I really admire you..."

  Zhu Di waved his hand: "Don't come here, you have spent a lot of time fighting against the rebellious party, and you still have the time to care about this?"

  Zhang Anshi said embarrassingly, "I'm used to it, I'm used to it."

  At the moment, Zhang Xingyuan and his relatives were all detained, and naturally there was another burst of mourning and crying.

  The voice was harsh, but Zhu Di was unmoved.

   Waiting for Zhang Xingyuan to be taken away.

  Zhu Di said again: "His relatives certainly want to be happy, but this Zhang Xingyuan can't teach him to die comfortably. I want to teach him that he can't live or die."

  Zhu Di showed his cruel side, no one dared to break ground on Tai Sui.

  Zhang Anshi said: "Since that's the case, then... the minister will send him to prison?"

  Zhu Di nodded: "You are not good at torture, and you really don't have to. Doing such a thing will inevitably damage your morality. Just let someone like Ji Gang do it."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Yes."

Zhu Di said: "When all these people are wiped out and executed, I will teach you to handle this matter. It is you who broke the rebellious party this time, and the Neiqianhusuo also made great contributions. If these people are handed over to Beizhen Fusi, I am afraid People from thousands of households of yours...will have complaints in their hearts."

   "Speaking of this... I have a merciless request."

  Zhu Di said: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Anshidao: "The minister here... I happened to be tinkering with something, and I thought I was idle if I was idle. Isn't this the execution of death row prisoners... Wouldn't it just come in handy? I want to make a new one... Uh... Uh... "

  Execution show?

  This is not a good thing to say.

  Zhang Anshi couldn't say what to describe it for a while, so he simply skipped it: "Guaranteed to be able to shock Xiaoxiao, but also teach people to enjoy themselves."

   Execution of death row prisoners can still be addictive.

   This made Zhu Di think for a while whether Zhang Anshi was suspected of being a psychopath.

   But this thought just passed by, Zhu Di patted Zhang Anshi's shoulder: "Does the forearm still hurt?"

  Zhang An Shidao: "I have a dull pain, I am worried, I am afraid that I have suffered an internal injury, this bone..."

  Zhu Di said: "Then raise it for a few days..."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Follow the order."

  Zhang Anshi resigned.

  At this time, he was in a relaxed mood, with a happy face.

   It's just that there is an indescribable exhaustion.

  Anyway... it finally worked out.

  No... There is one more thing, I have to borrow these rebellious party thieves to do a big thing.

   But right now, he doesn't want to care about anything. Although spreading money everywhere has greatly reduced Zhang Anshi's workload, he just wants to have a good sleep at this moment.

  ...

   Zhu Di was non-stop.

  After Zhang Anshi left, he quickly ordered people to summon the governor of the five armies, the bachelor of Wenyuange, and the six ministers to have an audience.

   Besides that, even the crown prince and King Zhao were called together.

  Zhu Di took his seat, his complexion was very ugly, and he was exhausted. When an **** poured tea for him, Zhu Di took a sip and said, "The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Minister of the Ministry of War have made meritorious service in handling this time, which is very good."

   Duke Wei, Duke Qi, and Jin Zhong saluted and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

  Zhu Di glanced at Qi State Duke Qiu Fu, and said with concern, "Qi State Duke is still injured?"

  Qiu Fu hurriedly said: "It's nothing, compared to Jing Nan's time, this little injury is nothing to worry about."

  His arms are wrapped like rice dumplings.

  Adding that he has a son named Qiu Song, it is easy to suspect that he has a gunpowder bag hidden in his arm.

  Zhu Di said: "Okay, okay, okay, you are indeed an old brother."

As he said that, Zhu Di looked at the crown prince Zhu Gaochi again, with obvious admiration in his eyes, and said: "This time my son...acted prudently and properly, and Jin Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of War, is what the prince should look like If the country is in trouble, if you can calm down and not be afraid in the face of danger, if something really happens to me this time, there will be no regrets if there is a prince like this."

  Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said: "Father, I am ashamed... I was really flustered at the beginning, it was Jin Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of War..."

Zhu Di smiled: "Of course I know, what kind of temperament you are, how could I not know? As a crown prince, how can you be both civil and military? To be able to obey the words of a virtuous minister at this time, this...is the true nature of a virtuous ruler."

  This sentence is a pun, and both Zhu Gaochi and Jin Zhong are praised.

  Jin Zhongdao: "Your Majesty, it was extremely dangerous at that time. There were assassins of thieves on this road. Fortunately, I have not lost all my skills, and the knife in my hand is not a vegetarian."

Zhu Di laughed loudly: "Jin Qing's family... There are two things that I admire the most. One is his mouth, which can make a dead man alive. The other is his courage. Although he is not an enemy of ten or a hundred, he is He has the courage that is undeserved."

  Jin Zhongdao: "Your Majesty's false praise, I am ashamed and dare not take it."

  Zhu Di's eyes swept across Zhao Wang, but he quickly skipped over.

Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui felt a bit of resentment in his heart. This time, he did little to do anything. He was very smart, and soon realized that these rebels could not just kill a father, but they might also do something to the prince or themselves, so he The first reaction was to hide in the cellar of the palace, to avoid the limelight first, and then to say that the enemy is dark and we are clear, it is not the time to be in the limelight, and when it is about the same time, as long as he is alive, he can come out to preside over the overall situation.

   As a result... the calculation failed, and it was embarrassing.

  Zhu Di didn't seem to care about these things, but then... began to talk about a crucial issue.

"This time... the outstanding person, Zhang Anshi, you all know Zhang Anshi, if it weren't for him... I would have almost lost my life, and I might even let the rebels succeed, and my foundation of Ming Dynasty would also be shaken. I want to ask you, since ancient times , whose credit can be compared with it?"

  Zhu Di asked.

  Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. People like Wei Guogong can read and write, but their level of classics and history is not high. Who can compare with them in history? How do I know which bird can be compared?

  Ke Xie Jin is well versed in this, but...he pretends to be confused, and of course he would never stand up to carry the sedan chair for others at this time.

  As for the prince Zhu Gaochi, this is his wife and younger brother after all. Zhu Gaochi is very modest and not easy to flatter.

  Zhu Gaosui felt resentful in his heart, and when he thought of his father praising his brother's wife and brother like this, he felt very uncomfortable.

  Zhu Di saw that everyone was speechless, so he urged: "Speak, let's talk, don't be nervous, speak freely."

  Seeing his father looking forward to it, Zhu Gaosui felt even more jealous, and said abruptly, "Sima Yi fought in all directions and made great contributions to Cao Wei. My son thought... Sima Yi could be compared to him."

   "..."

  Zhu Gaosui's words have deep meaning, father, you have to be careful...don't fall for others' tricks, that Sima Yi...

  Zhu Di was expecting everyone to give a good answer, and then continue to expand.

   As a result, Zhu Gaosui's abrupt words taught Zhu Di to jump up.

  Zhu Gaosui said: "I think... I think..."

   "You rebellious son, I will marry your mother!" Zhu Di couldn't bear it anymore.

   At the moment, suddenly rise.

   Raising his fist, he ran towards Zhu Gaosui,

  Zhu Gaosui shouted loudly: "Father...my son is just talking about things..."

  He was not as vigorous as Zhu Gaoxu, so he was quickly grabbed by Zhu Di. Immediately, Zhu Di raised his fist and hit him.

   "Ah... ah..."

  Zhu Gaosui let out a scream like killing a pig.

  After a few fists and kicks, Zhu Di stood up, clapped his hands, and looked around: "Okay, let's continue, except for Sima Yi, whose credit can be compared with Zhang Anshi... Don't worry, you can speak freely..."

  The civil servants and military generals were all dumbfounded, not daring to vent their anger.

  Zhu Di said: "Since you don't say anything, let me tell you, I see... only people like Huo Qubing can be compared, are you right?"

   "Your Majesty's words are true." All the ministers catered to him.

  Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaosui who was pretending to be dead on the ground: "King Zhao thinks what I said is right."

  Zhu Gaosui said: "Ah... yes yes yes."
