Lao Zhu's heart trembled again.
As for who was close to Hu Weiyong in the last imperial examination, it was naturally Ouyang Lun.
Although Ouyang Lun decisively broke off the relationship with Hu Weiyong after becoming the consort, if An Ran's affairs as Zhejiang's chief envoy a few years ago could be found out, then what happened to Ouyang Lun a year ago would naturally also be recorded.
Zhu Bai added: "In terms of the status of colleagues, all the military generals in the court are colleagues with Hu Weiyong. If they are killed like this, it will be awesome. I have no one in the Ming Dynasty who can lead troops to fight. It's awesome."
He hasn't said anything more shocking yet: Hu Weiyong was appointed by himself. According to this implication, wouldn't it be that Lao Zhu is the biggest gangster?
Lao Zhu heard Zhu Bai getting more and more outrageous, and raised his hand: "Listen, come on, we know what you mean. Then tell me how to decide on this list."
This list is quite tricky. It is necessary not only to satisfy Lao Zhu, but also to balance the forces on both sides, and to kill as few people as possible.
Zhu Bai was asked, he stood for a while with his lips pursed, and then handed over to Lao Zhu: "It is more secure for the elder brother to decide such a big matter."
The future world belongs to Zhu Biao.
The people left behind were also Zhu Biaoyong.
Of course let Zhu Biao decide.
No matter who else is doing this, Zhu Biao will be dissatisfied if he kills the wrong person.
Lao Zhu nodded: "Yes. Biao'er, you must also learn to deal with these things. This position is not easy to sit in, and the power is so great that everyone covets it. So you must not only be merciful and compassionate, but also be decisive and decisive." Be on guard against the slightest change."
Zhu Biao saluted: "I understand. I will consider this carefully."
Lao Zhu glanced at Zhu Bai: "Don't be idle, help your brother."
Zhu Bai chuckled: "My eldest brother can easily handle such a small matter as my father, and there is no need for my subordinates at all. If my eldest brother needs my help to run errands, I will definitely be there as soon as he is called."
In fact, not only can I not interfere in this matter, it is also inappropriate for me to offer opinions.
Zhu Biao will definitely not kill indiscriminately. He has been in prison for so long and he knows very well who is a Hu Party member and who is not.
The person he wants to kill must be the one who deserves to be killed.
Then I can only add people but not subtract people.
But no matter who I want to join, they will be considered to be self-serving, suppressing dissidents, and a thankless effort.
Besides, there is already too much blood on my hands, so why bother killing him anymore.
Even if he uses me as a crutch, he can't use it for the rest of his life.
Lao Zhu said: "We have something to do here, and there are bandits rebelling in some mountainous areas of Guangdong. Who do you think is best to send?"
It was really hard for Zhu Bai to speak out about this matter.
After all, the people sent out at this point mostly wanted him to avoid the limelight. What you originally meant well may actually cause trouble for the other person.
Moreover, Zhu Bai must not talk about military matters.
Zhu Biao asked: "What did my cousin say?"
He also lacked experience in military affairs, so it was more reliable to ask Li Wenzhong.
Lao Zhu said: "Zhao Yong was recommended by Li Wenzhong."
Zhao Yong was originally Li Wenzhong's deputy general. When he followed Li Wenzhong to pacify the north, he made the greatest contribution. When he was originally rewarded, he was at least ranked among the three princes. But he has a shortcoming, that is, he is lustful. He had taken possession of the wife, concubine and daughter of a surrendered general, so in the end he had to be granted the title of Marquis Nanxiong.
Over the years, Li Wenzhong has always asked him to serve as a guard in Yingtian, just because he was afraid that he would cause trouble and harm others.
At this moment Li Wenzhong suddenly let him out.
Um……
Lao Zhu suddenly called Er Hu: "Go and check if there is any collusion between Zhao Yong and Hu Weiyong."
Zhu Bai sighed secretly: Alas... As expected.
While Lao Zhu asked Erhu to investigate, he sent Zhao Yong to Guangdong to destroy the southern bandits.
Zhu Biao took the large box of evidence back and studied it behind closed doors.
There seems to be a lot of evidence and testimony, but in fact they are all trivial and insinuations, which are not enough to convict.
So he deleted a bunch of things from the list and made it again.
Then Zhu Biao thought it was too much and deleted some more.
In the end, there were only three people left: Hu Weiyong, Tu Jie, and Li Cunyi.
He wandered around the East Palace for a day holding the list, and after adding Fei Ju and Lu Zhongheng, handed it over to Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu took a look at the list and said, neither yes nor no: "You go and interrogate Ding Bin, Ding Fu and Li You will talk about it later."
Zhu Biao didn't know why and saluted: "I understand."
Lao Zhu thought for a while and added: "Take your twelfth brother with you."
With a sad look on his face, Zhu Bai protested in a low voice to Lao Zhu: "Father, it's not appropriate to bring your son to the trial. I'm still young..."
I have only been to that Ministry of Punishment jail twice, and both times left a psychological shadow. What's more, it's a cruel scene like interrogating people.
Even a mentally healthy adult wouldn't be able to stand it. I'm still a child after all. You specifically asked me to come to see you, aren't you afraid that I might grow up to be a pervert?
The key point is that this is something that offends people but does not bring any benefit at all. I will definitely dodge as far as I can...
Lao Zhu said: "Is your eldest brother the kind of person who can use a whip to hit people? I asked you to go, so that you can act red and your brother can act white."
Zhu Bai: "Does that mean you want me to take action? I don't even dare to do it."
Lao Zhu, you just treat me like an adult, but why don't you take care of my healthy mental development? Aren't you afraid that I will grow up to become a murderous pervert?
Lao Zhu Ni looked at him sideways: "There are so many pro-military captains, why do you need to do anything? Just show your 'Little King of Hell' aura and scare them."
No way, no way, Lao Zhu, you haven’t figured it out yet. People call me “Little King of Hell” because they think you are “Big King of Hell” but don’t dare to call you that directly.
Zhu Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It doesn't matter if other people call me Chen that way. Father, you also call me that way..."
Lao Zhu: "Go ahead. You don't want Hu Weiyong's henchmen to slip through the crackdown. After all, the person they hate the most is you."
Zhu Bai thought for a while: That's right.
After all, it’s me who defeats Hu Weiyong’s tricks every time.
If the Hu party slips through the net, although they can't do anything to me now, it will be troublesome if they say bad things about me in Zhu Biao's ears when I go to the feudal territory in the future.
-----
Li You is Li Cunyi's son. Compared with Ding Bin and Ding Fu, he was more familiar with Zhu Biao.
Therefore, Zhu Biao did not go directly to the Ministry of Punishment, but asked someone to bring Li You to the East Palace.
The Li family has been surrounded for a month, and Li You has long been like a mouse held down by a cat's paws, terrified.
At this moment, he entered the East Palace. Before Zhu Biao could speak, he lay on the ground shaking like chaff and said, "The humble minister Li You comes to see His Highness."
When Lao Zhu established the Ming Dynasty, he changed the Yuan Dynasty's kowtow ceremony into bowing.
If it is not a sinner, if it is not a sacrifice, at other times, when officials meet their superiors and people meet officials, even Lao Zhu does not need to kneel down.
Li You is still a third-grade official now, but he kneels down as soon as he comes in. This shows that he already regards himself as a sinner.
Zhu Bai secretly sighed: He doesn't have great courage, but he has to take great risks. Why bother...
