"So, the group of mine thieves who killed Zhang Chucheng were raised by Zhu Xianzhen, the king of Dong'an?"

Hai Rui and Li Zaiting looked at each other, then looked at the spitting Prince Wugang in front of them.

Zhu Yingqi (yǒu) slapped his thigh and said vividly: "Isn't it true! Who on the road doesn't know!?"

"The exiled villains like Shi Chaofeng are obviously from Qiaoxi, but they came to Huguang. Isn't it because my uncle Zong has a bad reputation for stealing mines?"

"Not to mention the distance, after the gang of mine thieves in Huizhou committed a major crime in the third year of Longqing, they came to Huguang overnight and begged my uncle Wang for protection."

He was sitting upright, but as he spoke, he slid down and leaned back.

Li Zaiting's expression changed: "The Crown Prince is talking about the incident in May of the third year of Longqing, when mine thieves attacked Wuyuan County, Huizhou, captured the treasury, and burned down official residences!?"

Naturally, he had an impression of this matter. At that time, he was an official for the first time and had never seen much of the world. He was surprised for a while when he heard this kind of thing.

In particular, Li Shixue, the magistrate of Wuyuan County at that time, allowed the enemy to remain unstoppable; the chief secretary Zhan Xiangqian fled in a hurry, abandoning the treasury; and the commander Zhai Fengxiang even watched from the sidelines.

Although they were punished a lot, they were still unforgettable.

I just didn't expect to hear the follow-up to this matter again today.

Zhu Yingqian nodded repeatedly: "That's that case! There are many more like this! Now, I don't know how many such violent and wanton people have gathered around my uncle Wang."

"Otherwise, how can ordinary people commit such a major crime as the murder of an imperial envoy? Only those who are extremely vicious can probably master the art of raiding treasuries and burning county offices!"

Hai Rui suddenly interrupted him.

He went straight to the point and asked: "Prince Wugang, does he have any evidence?"

In addition to representing the emperor, he also represents the civil servants and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. When handling cases, he cannot be like the Jin Yiwei who, upon hearing any clues, goes directly to the residence.

Zhu Yingqian frowned, looking a little dissatisfied.

He has said this, can he still be lying?

Still need evidence? Don’t you believe him?

Zhu Yingqian waved his hand: "Everyone in the Chu Palace knows this, how can I still lie to the angels? Anyway, I have provided the clues, so the angels might as well check it out!"

He saw the two imperial envoys staring at him and saying nothing.

Zhu Yingqian then added impatiently: "As far as I know, the gang of mine thieves are now in Xingguo Prefecture and Daye County. The two imperial envoys might as well send people to search for them!"

"I heard that these are all key leaders."

"What is the relationship with my uncle Wang? Whether they are responsible for the case in Linxiang County? All these, the two imperial envoys will know after the first trial!"

Xingguo Prefecture, Daye County...

The two of them were in high spirits!

In Zhang Chucheng's case, Zhu Yingyan of the Prince of Yueyang was at the front, and the matter of the water thieves fell on the Prince of Lishan of Minfan. In the end, only the mole of the Third Division and the mine thieves were left behind.

Now that there are real clues about the mine thieves, the difference between Huguang and Huguang is almost the same.

But... whether this prince is trustworthy or not, and whether he has other agendas, is another matter.

Hai Rui's thoughts were racing and he glanced at Li Zaiting, who immediately understood and turned to leave.

The former continued to ask: "The murder of Zhu Yingyan of the Prince of Yueyang was also done by King Dong'an?"

Zhu Yingqian stood up immediately and said bitterly: "It must be this person!"

"Prince Yueyang's Mansion was created by my Chu vassal, and I have always followed the Chu Mansion's orders."

"Only my Uncle Wang can kill Zhu Yingyan without knowing it!"

Hai Rui was already used to the apparent self-righteousness of the prince in front of him.

He asked patiently: "Your Majesty, does he have any evidence?"

Zhu Yingqi didn't say anything this time, he held his head high and said: "Why do we need any more evidence!"

When Hai Rui heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly, what a man like Meng Lang.

He couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart, he thought there was something real.

Just as he was thinking of this, he heard Zhu Yingyan continue to say: "I have evidence that Uncle Wang and Zhu Yingyan are colluding! It is enough to prove that Zhu Yingyan was responsible for my Uncle Wang's affairs in Zhang Chucheng!"

Hai Rui was startled and finally became serious: "Where is the evidence?"

Zhu Yingqian snorted: "The evidence is in the Prince of Chu's Mansion. Angel takes the guards and follows me to the Prince of Chu's Mansion. I will confront him face to face, and you will understand!"

Hai Rui thought for a moment, and then looked at the somewhat exaggerated prince Meng Lang in front of him.

Finally making up his mind, he said: "There is no need for a close guard, I will go with you myself!"

In the end, I made a compromise.

Zhu Yingqian, however, was extremely confident and urged Hai Rui to hurry up.

Hai Rui didn't waste any time and quickly followed.

It just so happened that it was time to meet the leader of the Huguang clan and the talker of the Chu vassal.

…

If we say that the Governor's Yamen serves as a temporary residence for the imperial envoys, it results in an endless stream of visitors.

So as the Prince of Chu's Palace was enthroned by Taizu and the head of the Huguang clan, it was natural that the threshold was being broken down in these days.

People from all walks of life came to the gate of Dong'an Prince's Mansion with requests.

Dong'an King Zhu Xianzhen was even a little tired of dealing with it.

However, some people have to be seen.

It's the same today. He even invited people here himself to work hard.

Zhu Xianzhen sighed, picked up the teapot, and poured tea for the junior in front of him himself.

The two of them sat opposite each other across the tea table, and the atmosphere was a bit tense.

Zhu Changling's big horse Jin Dao sat opposite King Dong'an, with a stern look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "King Dong'an, we can't go on like this!"

"You were the one who took the lead. Now the situation is out of control, so don't ignore it."

So outrageous!

A mere domestic slave dared to slaughter the clan!

Although he was only the general of the auxiliary state and the general of Fengguo in the collateral palace, this sword struck all the clan members!

That guy Zhu Xizhong, after just getting a few clues, he dared to lead his guards into Prince Min's Mansion and kill the clan members without restraint!

Continuing to check further, how should Zhu Changling deal with himself!

Zhu Xianzhen filled the tea cup and pushed it in front of Zhu Changling: "Prince Jing, please be patient. This is exactly why you are here."

His movements and expressions all showed that King Dong'an was calmer.

Maybe it's because of his old age. He has gone through all kinds of storms, including killing kings and usurping the throne, assassinating fellow clan members, beating local officials to death, and so on, so his character is naturally much stronger.

He poured himself another cup of tea and said with some regret: "It's a pity that Zhu Xizhong didn't kill King Min as well, even if he killed King Lishan."

After saying that, Zhu Xianzhen shook his head and took a sip of tea.

Zhu Changling was not in the mood to argue with him, and just smiled coldly: "King Dong'an should stop asking me riddles, otherwise I will lose my temper and won't bother to listen anymore."

"At that time, you and I will fight on our own, but don't blame someone for causing trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Xianzhen smiled bitterly.

He said helplessly: "At this time, I don't have time to play riddles with the prince. It's just a matter of regret."

"If Zhu Xizhong kills a county prince during this trip and makes our fellow clansmen resentful and jealous enough, the plan to stop the imperial envoy will be 30% more certain."

Zhu Changling looked at Zhu Xianzhen quietly, waiting for his next words.

If you don't get to the point anymore, you will immediately turn around and leave.

Zhu Xianzhen drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, finally put his face aside, and said seriously: "In my opinion, these imperial envoys are not just here to investigate the Zhang Chucheng case, but are here for our clan!"

"There must be something about the emperor and the cabinet."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible for us to give in to that point, and Wu Jinghe would still show no mercy at all."

"It is impossible for Zhu Xizhong to dare to take action on his own initiative and wantonly slaughter large gentry families, officials and clans."

"They are imitating Zhu Wan!"

Zhu Wan was like this at the beginning.

As Sejong's right-hand man, he patrolled Zhejiang on behalf of Sejong. Taking advantage of the opportunity to suppress Japanese invaders, he plowed the land for the local wealthy gentry, and he was extremely murderous.

Either they said they were Japanese pirates after killing them, or they were simply killed by Japanese pirates, so the local gentry was so frightened that they fled with their families.

If you do something like this, impeachment afterwards will definitely be inevitable.

Gentlemen, officials, ministers, and memorials poured into Emperor Sejong's Wanshou Palace like snowflakes.

Zhu Wan saw that Shizong couldn't stop him, so he simply committed suicide by taking poison!

What else can be done after a person dies? Naturally, all the murder debts in Zhejiang have been wiped out.
