Chapter 214: Summoned to the Palace(2/2)
At this moment, an eunuch broke in and knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Your Majesty, if you have something to report to you."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to avoid his grandson, so he said, "You just say it."
"Your Majesty, many women's bodies were found in Wancheng, Jiangnan. The bodies were naked and washed out by the water. I don't know who did it." said the eunuch.
"Hmph" Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table suddenly and said, "Call Wang Zhong to see me."
Soon, Wang Zhong, who was on standby in the Interior Affairs Office of the Palace, came over. He knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder why I call my subordinates to come?"
In fact, Wang Zhong already knew what Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to come for, but he still pretended not to know. This is the experience of getting mixed up in the palace and he must not look smarter than the emperor, because that would only make the emperor feel unhappy and make the emperor feel unhappy, the end of the matter is generally very miserable.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the eunuch who had stepped aside and said, "You can say it again."
The eunuch said it again. After hearing this, Wang Zhong said, "Your Majesty, let me investigate this matter. The Jinyiwei promised to find out the murderer behind the case within one month."
Seeing that Wang Zhong was still counting, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and said, "I am going to leave this matter to Yunwen to investigate. How about you help me?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose was very obvious, which was to accumulate merit for Zhu Yunwen and thus lay the foundation for his succession to the throne in the future.
Wang Zhong naturally understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant and said, "Your Highness Yunwen personally investigated the case, which will definitely lead to the truth."
"Yeah," Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and asked Wang Zhong to draw an edict. Wang Zhong wrote the imperial edict according to Zhu Yuanzhang's intention. Zhu Yuanzhang took out his private seal and stamped it on it. Unlike ordinary emperors, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the founding emperor, his private seal was more effective than the national seal.
