When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the blood letters written by the people, Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate and had Liao Yongzhong arrested on the spot.
After being arrested, Zhu Yuanzhang had Liao Yongzhong interrogated that night.
The main content of the interrogation was the matter of Liao Yongzhong and his relatives occupying people's land and oppressing the people.
Secondly, there was the interrogation of Prince Xiao Ming back then.
Of course, these things were very secret, and Zhu Yuanzhang asked people he trusted to interrogate them.
Liao Yongzhong's answer disappointed Zhu Yuanzhang.
"I have worked hard from the bottom to now, can't I still enjoy it??"
"Isn't it just for the enjoyment I have now that I fight so hard?"
“If I don’t even have this little power, what’s the difference between me and ordinary people??”
This kind of thinking is not just one person's, many people have had this kind of thinking.
These people are all people who have been blinded by power and have forgotten themselves.
Many people in the Ming Dynasty went to the road of death because of such thoughts.
But Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that Liao Yongzhong would say such words in prison.
This made him very angry, and he personally approached Liao Yongzhong.
"Look what you said? Why did we start a rebellion in the first place? Who were we fighting?"
"Aren't we fighting those pseudo-Yuan officials who oppress the people and deny them a way to survive?"
"Are we resisting because the pseudo-yuan people oppress us people and don't give us a way to survive??"
"Look at what you look like now. What's the difference between you and the pseudo-yuan officials who bullied the people back then? How can you live like the person that everyone hates the most??"
When Zhu Yuanzhang said these words, Liao Yongzhong was stunned on the spot.
At the beginning, he was indeed righteous.
But as his power continued to grow, he gradually lost himself in the power.
Even after there were a large number of people similar to him around him, he felt that everything was natural.
Until now, he was vaguely reacting to Zhu Yuanzhang's words.
It turns out that now he has become the person he once hated the most.
This left him in a daze for a long time.
Seeing him like this, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything more to him. He just ordered people to go to Liao Yongzhong's home to search his property and see how much money was hidden in his home.
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang also asked people to investigate matters related to Prince Xiao Ming.
He wanted to know whether this matter had anything to do with Liu Bowen.
He wanted to know whether Liu Bowen instigated Liao Yongzhong to do this.
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang kept this matter very secret and only told a few personal guards.
However, not long after he finished speaking, Hu Weiyong knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to investigate this matter.
Such exploration naturally made Hu Weiyong very happy.
He already knows that everything that happens next will develop in the direction he wants.
At this time, he seemed to be in complete control of the situation.
And it was only natural that he wanted Liu Bowen to die.
Thinking of this, he laughed even louder.
Everything that happens next is indeed under his control.
A large amount of money and property deeds were indeed found in Liao Yongzhong's home.
Not only that, but many letters exchanged with other people were also found.
These letters include not only letters of daily greetings, but also letters of many transactions involving power and money.
Many people were involved, including Liu Bowen.
However, the two letters exchanged by Liu Bowen and Liao Yongzhong were burned before the guards arrived.
The reason why everyone knew the existence of these two letters was because when they arrived, the two letters had just been burned, leaving a little bit of paper ashes.
Therefore, the guards concluded that the Liao family must have had a premonition that something was wrong before, so they destroyed the two letters in advance.
Such early destruction illustrates a big problem.
They determined that there must be very important information in the letter, so they destroyed it separately before the guards arrived.
When Zhu Yuanzhang learned about this, his face immediately darkened.
He didn't know what the content of the letter was, but he subconsciously thought that the letter must contain a record of Liu Bowen asking Liao Yongzhong to kill King Xiao Ming.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang could not control the murderous intention in his heart.
"Hmph! You are so smart and self-righteous! Without our will, how dare you do such a transgressive thing!!"
"You really passed it!!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill someone, his murderous intention could not be hidden.
Especially when he appeared in front of Liao Yongzhong again, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang with murderous intent on his face, Liao Yongzhong smiled miserably.
He already had a premonition of his next fate.
"The guards seized a large amount of money and various property deeds from your home. These things did not originally belong to you. A large part of them were snatched from the hands of the people or bribed by others. In this regard, What do you have to say??”
"I have nothing to say, I did do these things!!"
"Just admit it. As for killing Prince Xiao Ming, did Liu Bowen say something to you, implying that you did it?"
"Prince Xiao Ming? No, what happened to Prince Xiao Ming was indeed an accident!!"
"Just admit it! You asked your family to burn all the letters exchanged with Liu Bowen, and you still told us that it was an accident??"
"I didn't do such a thing, why should I admit it??"
"Moreover, I didn't let my family burn the letters we had with Liu Bowen. I only wrote two or three letters with him, and we were all casual acquaintances. His attitude towards me was particularly cold, so there was no need to burn those letters. letter!!"
At this time, Liao Yongzhong spoke very plainly. He was about to die and he didn't bother to explain.
After saying this, he stopped talking.
Such silence made Zhu Yuanzhang reluctant to leave.
He was doubtful about Liao Yongzhong's words.
In the end, he still wanted to kill Liu Bowen because he was afraid of Liu Bowen.
It was also at this time that Prime Minister Hu Weiyong asked for an audience.
Hu Weiyong said that Uncle Chengyi had been infected with cold recently and had not seen him well for a long time. He hoped that he could take the imperial doctor to visit Liu Bowen.
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flickered.
He could feel that Hu Weiyong wanted to take action against Liu Bowen.
Originally, he did not allow his ministers to extend their hands so long, and he did not allow any killing fights among his ministers.
However, after Hu Weiyong said that he would take the imperial doctor to visit Liu Bowen.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who wanted to kill Liu Bowen, unexpectedly agreed with Hu Weiyong's statement.
This kind of agreement is very similar to Qin Shihuang's agreement with Li Si to take action against Han Feizi.
