Hu Weiyong kept shouting: "Be merciful. Your Highness, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
Zhu Bai waited coldly for him to approach.
Hu Weiyong bowed: "Your Highness, the dog has been in a bad mood recently and bumped into Your Highness. Please be patient."
Zhu Baili ignored him and asked Zhang Yu: "If you collide with me, how should you deal with it according to Ming law?"
Zhang Yu said: "Behead."
Hu Weiyong's legs were so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Your Highness, please be merciful. Quan Zi must not have recognized His Highness. It was definitely not intentional."
Zhu Bai smiled and said to the others: "Tell Mr. Hu whether he saw me first before swinging his sword, or whether he swung his sword first and then saw clearly that it was me."
The others all said in unison: "He first saw His Highness before he took action."
During Zhu Bai's absence, as soon as the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division patrolled near Hu's house, Hu Fuchang came out, cursed and hit people with whips.
The guards were basically beaten.
Now with Zhu Bai's support, they were eager to kill Hu Fuchang.
Zhu Bai's face darkened: "Master Hu, did you hear clearly?! Isn't Master Ling deliberately hurting me?! Harming me is tantamount to treason. Killing him would be a minor offense. Come on, give this madman to me!" I will rectify the Dharma on the spot."
If it were someone else, he would have to be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation before he could be dealt with.
But Zhu Bai had the right to kill first and then show off.
Hu Weiyong was sweating profusely and kept kowtowing: "Your Highness, please forgive me. As long as Your Highness lets the dog go, I can do anything you want me to do."
Zhu Bai raised his eyebrows: "Seriously, you can do whatever I ask you to do?"
Hu Weiyong: “Anything is fine.”
Let’s get through this first, and then we’ll talk about the rest.
Zhu Bai nodded: "Okay. Then you move back to your original mansion and make this place vacant. I want to use this place."
This place is too close to the East City Gate and the Imperial City. Since I know you have rebellious intentions, how could I let you live here?
Didn't you originally live in Midtown? Just move it back to me honestly.
When the time comes, it will be convenient for us to catch you.
Hu Weiyong choked, and his heart was racing: Isn't this just naked extortion?
You have so many houses, why do you insist on occupying this one where I live? !
Zhu Bai said thoughtfully: "This was originally Lord Li Shanchang's residence. When the residential survey was conducted, my father granted permission for Lord Li's residence not to have the property deed inspected."
Would Li Shanchang be willing to spend money to buy such a big mansion? It must have been when Lao Zhu settled in Yingtian Mansion, he took it directly as his own.
Lao Zhu couldn't drive these heroes out, so he just turned a blind eye. As long as they live in it, it is regarded as a reward from him by default.
It is impossible for Li Shanchang to give it to Hu Weiyong for free. Hu Weiyong must have taken it by force.
Li Shanchang knew that he was now in decline and could not compete with the popular Hu Weiyong, so he could only suffer the loss of being dumb.
Therefore, Hu Weiyong does not have the property deed.
Zhu Bai said: "Since Mr. Hu lives here now, should we take out the land deed and have it inspected by the Military and Horse Department to complete the formalities?"
Hu Weiyong was a little panicked, wiping cold sweat: "Okay, I will move immediately."
Zhu Bai sneered: "I will give you three days. After three days, I will come again. If you are still here, I will personally help you move."
When he came to move, he didn't move to the old house, but to the treasury.
After saying that, he reined in his horse and left without giving Hu Weiyong a chance to plead for mercy.
Hu Weiyong hurriedly asked someone to release Hu Fuchang.
Hu Fuchang jumped up and wanted to point at Zhu Bai's back and curse him, but Hu Weiyong covered his mouth and held him down.
Hu Weiyong pulled him in, closed the door, and whispered in his ear: "I told you to be patient for a few more months, and you should be more at ease. By then I will take away Lao Zhu's throne and leave it to you." Deal with this little bastard, kill him or chop him into pieces, it's up to you."
After walking far away, Commander Cen Du suddenly smiled and cupped his hands at Zhu Bai: "His Highness is still domineering. This subordinate is really relieved."
Zhu Bai smiled: "It's not a big deal. Now that I'm back, whoever offended me still wants to sleep peacefully?"
Commander Qian Du of the Nancheng Army and Horse Division was already waiting eagerly. Commander Chong Cen Du took Zhu Bai over and then reported to Zhu Bai in a soft voice as he walked.
This is the most beautiful season in Yingtian.
Nancheng happens to be the most scenic area in Yingtian.
Small bridge, flowing water, black tiles and white walls.
Catkins cover the bridge and pear blossoms cover the houses.
Bells are ringing and cigarette smoke is curling up.
Once you get here, you can't help but slow down.
Lao Zhu located all the brothels along the Qinhuai River. So there was such a strange scene.
Not far from the temple is the brothel.
After spending a lot of time in a brothel, drinking and having sex, they go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha to atone for their sins.
Since the establishment of the monk list, those who pretend to be monks to defraud, abduct, rape, and rob have almost disappeared.
There is a group of people in charge of the brothel, so the Soldiers and Horses Division only needs to make sure that no one is setting up stalls and no one is fighting on the road, and there is basically nothing else to patrol.
Zhu Bai got off his horse and asked someone to hold him, and walked slowly along the street while enjoying the scenery.
Zong Lai heard that Zhu Bai was patrolling the city this morning, so he and his disciples were already waiting for Zhu Bai at the door.
Seeing Zhu Bai from afar, Zong Li saluted: "Your Highness."
Zhu Bai returned the favor and said, "The king has something else to do today. I will bother the master another day."
Zong Lai: "The old monk knows that His Highness will be busy when he comes back, so he doesn't dare to waste His Highness's time. He only has a few important words that he wants to say to His Highness."
Zhu Bai nodded and walked away from the crowd.
Zong Lai will give a big ceremony.
Zhu Bai was so frightened that he held his arm and said, "Although I am the prince, you are the master and you cannot do this."
Zong Lai said: "Thank you for sacrificing your life to save Hongyuan, Your Highness. It's just that Your Highness is taking too many risks."
Zhu Bai smiled: "It's just a matter of convenience. Master, you don't have to take it seriously."
Zong Lai said: "The old monk must chant sutras and pray for His Highness every day."
Zhu Bai said: "Thank you very much, but one day, if I fall into despair, Master will definitely save me."
Zong Yi couldn't laugh or cry: "Of course."
How come you are down and out?
So besides Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao, you are the most powerful.
Zhu Bai nodded: "With these words from Master, I feel relieved."
It would be very easy if he just ran by himself.
The key point is that when Lao Zhu dies, all his concubines will be buried with him.
How could he leave his mother here to wait for death?
However, the palace was heavily guarded, and it was difficult for Concubine Hu Shun to leave the palace, let alone the city.
So he had to think of a perfect solution.
Maybe Zong Lai will be used by then.
-----
Xicheng has become much cleaner since its renovation.
When rectifying Xicheng, we also checked some people who were not registered in the household registration and had no formal road guide, and re-registered them.
People who wanted to use their underworld accounts to do some petty theft before either fled Yingtian quietly, or settled down and found work.
Together with Zhu Neng, this child from Xicheng has now become King Yan Wei, which is equivalent to setting an example for all the children in Xicheng, letting them know that they do not need to sink, and they can get ahead as long as they work hard.
