Guo Heng only thought that the crown prince was bombing him, bit the bullet and continued,

"I can't understand His Highness's words..."

"You are using the money from the treasury as the principal to lend out, aren't you?"

boom!

Guo Heng's eyes darkened, and he almost fainted.

how can that be? ! !

How did the prince know? ! ! ! !

Chapter 161

Is the prince cheating on me? !

But even if the crown prince is ignorant, it is impossible for him to be so accurate!

Guo Heng thought that what he did was flawless, even if Zhu Biao got the account book, so what, even if he was Zhu Biao, he would never see any flaws!

Which god is behind the prince's tricks? !

"How did you know?!" Guo Heng said in shock, forgetting to use his honorific title for a while.

Zhu Biao glanced at Guo Heng, waved to the housekeeper who had been undercover in Guo's mansion for many years, and said indifferently,

"Take it away."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The butler called two shadow guards to support Guo Heng, but Guo Heng still stared at Zhu Biao, repeating crazily like a ghost,

"How did you know?!"

"How did you know?!!"

"You are………"

Just as Guo Heng was taken away, Xu Sima got out of the tunnel in the stable. It turned out that Xu Sima entered the tunnel immediately after the butler summoned him.

"Big brother."

"Well, did you find anything?"

Zhu Biao smiled, and returned to his approachable look, as if it wasn't the thunder method he used,

Xiao Zhu seems to be in a good mood. After all, he finally managed to hold down the biggest fish in the corruption case of the Ministry of Finance, and after that, all that remains is to recover the stolen money.

However, since Guo Heng was held down, it would not be difficult to recover the 5000 million taels.

Xu Sima looked serious, and took out another account book from his pocket, "Brother, I found this down below, please take a look."

Zhu Biao sensed that something was wrong, so he took the ledger and flipped through it until the last page, but Zhu Biao still didn't put down the ledger.

After a long silence, Zhu Biao opened his mouth quietly,

"This is a big deal."

"Brother...we can't hold back..." Xu Sima whispered.

Zhu Biao nodded, "Yes, it seems that Dad can't sleep well tonight."

After making up his mind, Zhu Biao waved his sleeves, put away the ledger, patted Xu Sima's shoulder twice,

"I'll leave it to you. Remember, shadow guards must be used for both escort and interrogation."

Xu Sima nodded heavily, and he could vaguely feel the big one coming, "Brother, don't worry."

"Ah."

Zhu Biao pulled out a horse and rode straight towards the palace.

.........

Inside the palace

Zhu Biao walked all the way to Zhu Yuanzhang's bedroom smoothly, only to see a faint light emitting from Zhu Yuanzhang's bedroom,

Zhu Biao was slightly startled, and asked the guards watching the night in the dark around him,

"Why isn't your majesty asleep yet?"

"Your Highness, an urgent letter has just arrived, and His Majesty is looking at it."

"A urgent letter?"

Where is the letter that Zhu Yuanzhang has to read without sleeping in the middle of the night?

"Boss?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's slightly tired voice came from the bedroom,

"Yes, Dad."

"come in."

Zhu Biao walked into the room and saw Zhu Yuanzhang lying on the table, reading a test paper word by word.

"You wait."

"Got it, Dad."

Zhu Biao sat down next to him full of doubts,

Imperial examination papers? !

Counting the time, now is the time for the rural examination, where can the rural examination papers be directly admitted to Beijing? !

Can Zhu Yuanzhang get up in the middle of the night to read? !

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished arranging Zhu Biao, he refocused his energy on the paper in front of him. Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and marveled at times, and finally heaved a sigh, sighing,

"If we have this son when we fight the world, what's the use of Li and Liu?!"

Zhu Biao was shocked again when he heard that,

Li and Liu are naturally Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen. It can be said that they are the absolute think tanks of Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates.

And the person that Old Zhu was talking about... Xiao Zhu had already vaguely guessed it.

Old Zhu was silent again, and read the test paper from the beginning to the end again. Another hour passed, thinking that Zhu Biao was still here, so Old Zhu put down the test paper with some satisfaction,

"Guess who it is."

Zhu Biao nodded, "It must be the one from Yandi."

"Tsk tsk," Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Biao, without concealing his praise, "this guy must be a talent in the world. Oh? What kind of talent is there in the world? I can't remember what I said. .”

Zhu Biao said with a smile, "There is only one stone in the world, and Mr. has all eight fights."

Lao Zhu slapped his thigh, "That's right! That's it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang seldom praised others so much. Seeing the miraculous effect of this test paper, Xiao Zhu forgot to report the Guo family's affairs for a while, and said curiously,

"Father, show me too!"

Zhu Yuanzhang handed over the test paper, Xiao Zhu caught it, and asked, "Father, no matter how good the theory is, you can read it tomorrow. Why did you get so noisy?"

Old Zhu coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, "We told you, as long as it's about Liu Xiu, we'll see it as soon as possible!"

Xiao Zhu was taken aback when he heard the words, and then laughed dumbly, "It seems that this one is also very important to you."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed, and he said meaningfully,

"If it's not important, why bother? How much effort have we put into this son?"

Xiao Zhu nodded and looked at the test paper. When she saw the first poem, she applauded subconsciously.

"What a strong poem! Only a gentleman can write such words!"

Zhu Yuanzhang muttered,

"Thousands of blows are still tenacious, let Er wind from south to east and northwest. Hehe, this is for us to hear, we have become that wind from south, east, and northwest!"

Although Lao Zhu was complaining, his words were full of brilliant tone.

"Then look down."

Zhu Biao then scanned down, and after reading the second question, he let out a long sigh,

"What do you think?" Old Zhu asked curiously.

"Okay," Xiao Zhu said with a complicated look in his eyes, "That's really good. Combined with my recent situation, it really gave me a feeling of enlightenment."

Old Zhu closed his eyes, and said in a calm voice, "You see what this guy said, but he completely negates our statecraft, do you still think it's good?"

Xiao Zhu looked at Lao Zhu and sighed, "Father, to be honest, I used to believe in you the most. There are rewards for loyalty and punishment for treachery..."

Old Zhu opened his eyes, "What? Listen to what you mean, you don't believe us now?"

"Father, my boy now particularly agrees with Mr.'s words that a corrupt official is a capable official."

"Oh?"

"I used to think that there would be some officials who were willing to make selfless contributions to Daming. I thought it was because of the rampage of traitors that these loyal ministers had no future, but we killed and killed, killing one crop after another... "

"...The traitor has almost been killed, but why doesn't this loyal minister show his face? My child sometimes wonders, is there no loyal minister?"

"Everything in the world is for profit. Does it mean that if we give them enough salaries, treacherous ministers can also become loyal ministers?"

Little Zhu paused, thinking that Old Zhu would say angrily, "That will make them more and more greedy!"

But unexpectedly, Lao Zhu did not say a word.

Chapter 162 Zhu Yuanzhang's Judgment

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent, Zhu Biao boldly continued,

"Sir, the last sentence in this article is really good..."

Lao Zhu repeated, "Poor people live with treachery, and rich people raise their conscience."

Xiao Zhu nodded, "That's right. If you can't even meet the basic needs of life, we still require officials to have character and strength. Isn't our requirement too high?"
