The fourth prince of the Ming Empire knelt down and begged for mercy as soon as his identity was revealed. Don't ask why no one doubts that Zhu Wuyi's identity is fake. After all, the people of the Ming Empire still have some conscience. They don't have any pressure or burden to make fake accounts and fake goods, but they fake the identity and they are also the prince of the Ming Empire. Everyone You must act within your ability, not to mention accidentally moving your head, and it will also affect the elders in your hometown. This is an act of annihilating children and grandchildren, comparable to an unfilial son who works as a eunuch in the palace. If someone pretends to be Zhu Xiluo's son, according to Zhu Xiluo Due to the nature of urine, your ancestors will not be able to live in peace for eighteen lifetimes. You are lucky enough to experience a "wind burial".
"You are blind. The blackmail is on this prince. You are lighting a lamp in the toilet to seek death."
The dog he raised actually wanted to bite him, which Zhu Wuji couldn't accept, even though he had always maintained a broad-minded fighting style and didn't get angry easily.
"The little ones deserve to die. The little ones have no eyes. The little ones have eyes but cannot see the mountains." Several government officials kowtowed and cried, wiping their tears and begging for mercy.
"Huh, your salary and salary are all for the people. This is how the imperial court supports you to contribute to the imperial court. Do you deserve the trust of the imperial court, the salary of your father, and the respect of the people?"
Zhu Wuji became more and more angry as he talked about it. A group of ungrateful white-eyed wolves had squandered a lot of money from the court. They kept a dog and knew how to protect it for life. To put it mildly, this was dereliction of duty and embezzlement and bribery. To put it seriously, this was Poaching the corner of the old Zhu family, if all the people in the yamen of the Ming Empire had this kind of work style, the collapse of this newly built building in the Ming Empire would be just around the corner. If the boss is replaced, the others will still survive, but no one in the old Zhu family will Don't even think about escaping. It can be said that simple dereliction of duty and tax evasion is the butcher's knife that can cut off your own head. When dealing with people who wanted to kill themselves, Zhu Wuyi wanted to kill a few of them with one blow, but when he thought that the prince was not allowed to interfere in politics, Zhu Wuyi had no choice but to give up. Furthermore, Zhu Wuyi was also afraid that he would offend the four people, who would jump over the wall if they got angry. , if he had someone to support him before he died, wouldn't he have suffered a disaster? Think about it, you have to be merciful and be merciful.
Several government officials kept kowtowing, but what was in their minds was a different scene. They conducted a profound analysis and refutation of Zhu Wuyu's accusations.
"I really don't feel the imperial court's trust. I'm just a contract worker, and I always take the blame for anything that happens. The salary of the current emperor, well, the officials in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment said they haven't seen the imperial court's salary for a long time. If It's not that Mr. Liu Wenzheng sympathizes with his subordinates, knows that the lives of the people below are not easy, and allows them to make money reasonably within an appropriate range. Otherwise, even a high-status officer from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment can go up a few levels if he goes on a blind date. It’s not likely that anyone would be willing to do a high-end profession. After all, it’s glamorous on the outside, but not many people are willing to endure the hunger behind the scenes. Besides being respected by the people, well, to be more precise, it means being in awe in front of others and scolding behind your back.”
Of course, just listen to what the leaders say. The purpose of their speech is not necessarily to make the listeners carry out their speech. Their more purpose is to shout slogans, improve their own qualifications, and accumulate experience for future development.
It is said that people with such a heavy weight are soft-hearted. Well, Zhu Wuyi was soft-hearted, "Humph, seeing that this is your first offender, I will forgive you. I hope you will learn from it and not do it again in the future, otherwise I will forgive you." , the laws of the Ming Empire cannot spare you, the current Holy Emperor cannot circumvent you, and the hundreds of millions of people of the Ming Empire cannot spare you.”
"Well, first time offender, well, the first time is always worth forgiving." Several government officials nodded in agreement, and said one after another that in the future they must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, be strict with themselves, strictly demand themselves according to the Ming Law, and devote their limited lives to unlimited service to the people of the Ming Empire. At the end of the day, the wax torch turned into ashes and the tears began to dry.
After hearing the affectionate expressions of several people, Zhu Wuyi expressed that he was very satisfied. His words were not in vain. In the beginning, human nature is still kind. As long as there is a teacher with high morals to guide him, bad people who occasionally have bad deeds will also change. Becoming a good person can also save those who are easily tempted and change their stance from taking a lot of detours, such as eating and drinking, let alone pink skulls.
Let the bad guys change their ways, and the world will have four more excellent Yamen servants of the Ming Empire. It is gratifying to congratulate, and Zhu Wuyu couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up.
After straightening his wrinkle-free clothes, Zhu Wuju strode into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Although the Penal Department Prison is the property of Lao Zhu's family, it was Zhu Wu's first time here, and he still found it after asking several enthusiastic passers-by on the way here.
Zhu Wuyi's understanding of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment only existed literally, that is, it was a place where bad guys were imprisoned. But when he came to the prison, Zhu Wuyu's three views were ruined.
The jail of the Ministry of Punishment was a mixed bag, with men, women, old and young. Zhu Wuyi could not imagine what kind of serious crime the slightly pretty woman had committed and was actually imprisoned in the jail of the Ministry of Punishment. Moreover, looking at the clothes on her body His clothes had marks of being whipped, and his skin could be vaguely seen covered with scars.
"What crime did this woman commit?" Zhu Wuji asked, pointing to the woman in the prison.
The older yamen officer looked at the woman inside and replied, "As far as the Fourth Prince is concerned, this is an illegal business for the prisoner and he does not have a business license issued by the court."
"Well, when did our Ming Empire need a business license to do business?"
Seeing that Zhu Wuyi really didn't understand, the Yamen servant explained in detail, "Your Highness, no, our Ming Empire adheres to the freedom of buying and selling. Anyone can do business and does not need to apply for a business license. However, there is a kind of business that is controlled by the court. , you cannot engage in it without registration with the Ministry of Industry."
"what business"? Zhu Wuyu was curious,
"The flesh business"
"Meat sellers also need a license. Is it a slaughter license?"
"Um, Your Highness, this kind of skin is not that kind of flesh and blood." His Royal Highness, who has almost no love for men and women, said that his limited vocabulary could not vividly describe the service content of this kind of business. After racking his brains, the Yamen servant finally came up with a more vivid description. The expression, “The flesh here is really human flesh.”
"Nah, who is this crazy villain who dares to eat human flesh?"
Well, the princes of the Ming Empire, who can be their teachers, are naturally all great Confucian scholars, and all they teach are benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust. Even their extracurricular readings are all about heroes such as "Yue Fei's Biography" and "Yang Family General" The story goes that if the teacher taught the princes about the affairs of men and women, and Zhu Xiluo did not take action, he would be sprayed to death by the spit of those scholars who insisted on loyalty to the country. Therefore, Zhu Wuyi really didn't know about this flesh and blood business.
"Uh, Your Highness, you misunderstood," the officer said further and further away, no longer trying to be secretive, "this prisoner is a girl from a brothel,"
"Oh, it turns out she's an oiran from a brothel. I understand what you say."
How can an oiran from a brothel open a shop in the streets and alleys, with dim candlelight and a hair-washing brand, which oiran would lower himself to such a degree.
"Your Highness, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, all brothels in the Ming Empire are used by the court, and the girls inside are also managed by the court. Only with permission can they engage in the sex trade. The rest are illegal,"
"Nima, it turns out that my father is the boss behind brothels all over the world. It's a bit exciting to think about it. Who can bear this body? Maybe I can share the burden for my father. I like money the most." Then Zhu Wuyu shook his head. , Dad only recognizes money and not people. No one dares to take his money, not even his own son.
Seeing that Zhu Wuyu listened so seriously, and then pointed to the female prisoner in the prison, the Yamen officer continued to explain, "She is not a girl from a brothel, and she did not get permission from the court. She was captured on the spot by the Jin Yiwei when she was trading with an old man who was digging out feces in the toilet."
"Hey, you poor people, they also rely on their own bodies to support themselves, let them go if they can, it's not easy." Seeing the charming and pretty face of the female prisoner, Zhu Wuyu's soft-hearted habit recurred. It's really not easy for women. .
"Yes, our Lord Liu said the same thing. As long as she pays the fine, she will be a prisoner immediately."
The Penal Department Prison also has its own rules. Zhu Wuyi can also let the Penal Department Prison follow his own rules and break the rules according to his own moods. Since he can leave after paying the fine, Zhu Zhuwuyi is relieved, but if he knows the amount of the fine that the female prisoner has to pay, , it is estimated that Zhu Wuyu will raise his heart again and ask for a fine of 10,000 taels. You must know that such street criminals do not dare to spend 1,200 taels of money at a time, and when they meet generous guests, they only give two more pounds of pigs. It can be said that the female prisoners need to work non-stop for a year, except for people like Liu Yujing. After all, they are for their children. The power of maternal love is infinite and it can create infinite possibilities.
"What about this one?" Zhu Xiluo asked, pointing to an old man.
The old man had unkempt hair and a sallow complexion. In such a cold weather, the old man was only wearing a single suit. The trouser legs only reached his knees. On his feet were straw sandals with exposed joints. What shocked Zhu Wuyu even more was that the old man's hands were hanging down and were obviously broken. There were dried blood stains on the torn sleeves, and it was certain that it had just been interrupted a few days ago.
"He, this old man steals dogs,"
"What, stealing a dog is such a big crime?" Zhu Wuyu was shocked.
"No, it's not." Seeing Zhu Wuyi's huge reaction, the Yamen servant was also shocked.
"I think so. It's just that you stole a beast. How can you break the old man's hands?"
"No, Your Highness, I mean this old man stole the dog's dog food". The yamen officer spoke carefully, fearing that Zhu Wuyi would be too excited and do something irrational. For example, killing a government servant to vent your anger.
"What, stole dog food?"
"Well, it is, a bone to be precise."
"One bone breaks the old man's arm." Zhu Wuyu was stunned, and his three views were completely ruined. Isn't this a series about living people being inferior to dogs?
"Yes, according to the regulations of our Penal Department Prison, stealing a bone is just a small amount of money," the yamen officer explained again when he saw Zhu Wuyu looking at him like a beast without conscience.
“What if I don’t have money”? They are all reduced to stealing bones. It is strange that the old man has money to pay the fine. That's why Zhu Wuji asked this question.
“If you don’t have money, just get an arm.”
Breaking your arm after stealing something is very criminal.
"Then why did the old man have two broken arms?" Could it be that the number of broken arms is also linked to the number of stolen bones? What if three are stolen? Five, I don’t dare to think about the consequences.
"Because the owner of this dog is the younger brother of the concubine. We, Mr. Liu, have specially told us that we must give an explanation to the concubine and the dog. We will also kill them as a warning to others. We will use severe punishment to prevent this kind of dog from competing for food." Stop any behavior that does not care for animals”
"Okay, bitch concubine, my father's favorite woman at present, I can't afford to offend him." Looking at the old man who vented more air than took in air, Zhu Wuji felt powerless, "In this world of cannibalism, illegal business requires a lot of money to make a living. Being whipped, fined, having both arms broken for stealing a bone,"
Suddenly Zhu Wuyi remembered the purpose of his visit this time. His master, his master had beaten someone. The nature of this should be much more serious than these two. They were both hurt to this extent. He was also a master, so he didn't dare. Think, dare not think.
"Master, Master, you died so miserably, my disciple is here to see you off."
