Remember [new] in one second! Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slowly when he heard this. The gentry and wealthy households in a few counties actually dared to disobey the imperial court to protect important criminals. This shows that his ignorance of the king's law is so rampant.
Zhu Biao knew the outcome of this matter without thinking. It would be fine if Hu Weiyong ended up. It is understandable that the people below would do anything due to the power of the prime minister.
However, since Hu Weiyong had no instructions for his end, a few small and unworthy families in the area had the courage to act like this. They rebelled and conspired without objection, and they should be executed to show the world.
"What's going on with Duan?"
"The letter has been sent, but I expected that Duan Bao would send troops before the letter arrives."
"This is the best. After the remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty in Liaodong and Yunnan are pacified, our achievements in this life will be almost complete."
There was a smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face. He went from being a begging monk in troubled times to joining the army as a pawn with his hair wrapped around his head and dragging a knife. He gradually became famous and became a general in the school. After going through hardships, he led an army without losing a hundred battles and fought with the world. The heroes are vying for the throne and working hard to recruit talents.
He built a high wall and accumulated grain and slowly became king, captured Yingtian and defeated Chen Han, fought a decisive battle with Zhang Shicheng to unify the south of the Yangtze River, proclaimed himself emperor and established a country, expelled the barbarians and chased them to the north.
At this point, the remnants of the previous dynasty have been completely ended, the territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties has been recovered, the Chinese clothes have been restored, and the foundation of the family and country has been established. What more could I want at this point in my life?
"Father, what are you saying? Your journey of thousands of miles has just spread its wings. You are in the prime of life, but there are still many unfinished achievements."
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but glance at his son: "We have finished all our achievements, what will you do in the future? Now that we are here, what about you, Emperor Taizu Gao, a hundred years later?"
The slaves serving in the palace lowered their heads and wanted to kneel down but did not dare to make a sound.
Zhu Biao smiled and walked up to his father's back, squeezed his shoulders and said, "My son is not greedy. Relying on my father's achievements, I will be content to be the Taiping Emperor in the future."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "If you really want to do this, we'd be eager to do it, hey..."
Speaking of which, it is also a worry of happiness. I look forward to my son's future, but I am also afraid that my son will be too promising. How can I not know that my son has a lofty and far-reaching intention?
In the future, he may be like himself and have outstanding achievements among the emperors of all dynasties, or he may fail and be laughed at by future generations. In the end, it is a natural talent to be benevolent without success.
Zhu Biao did not expect that his father would be so worried, but after thinking about it from his perspective, he understood that most of his thoughts recently were indeed spent on Goryeo, Japan, and Nanyang.
In Lao Zhu's eyes, it was like a son neglecting his family's ten thousand acres of fertile land and thousands of shops, and insisting on staring at the only dung fork of his poor neighbor.
Regarding this, Zhu Biao could only say: "My son, I know what I am doing, and my father can rest assured."

After leaving the palace gate, the Minister of Punishment went straight to the Punishment Ministry, and immediately ordered two more Langguan to join hands and order the people to set off, not only to capture Pan Fu, but also to write down all the gentry and officials who dared to get involved in the scandal recently.
As the Minister of Punishment of this dynasty, he naturally knew best how the Holy Lord would deal with this kind of situation. Originally, he thought the punishment was a bit harsh.
But now I have suddenly realized that such a rebellious minister and traitor cannot be punished without killing him!
He almost got himself involved, so what else can he say? He deserves to die.
In Liyang County, Pan's family, wearing sackcloth and mourning, was burning paper money in front of the memorial tablet. However, there was no servant at Nuo Da's house, and no relatives or friends came to express their condolences, so the house was deserted.
A figure walked majestically into the mansion. Passers-by looked at each other in surprise but did not dare to say anything. They lowered their heads and walked quickly away before daring to whisper to each other.
"Sister, I'm back."
The haggard-looking Mrs. Pan turned around when she heard the sound, staring blankly at her brother who was thinking about her day and night. She struggled to get up and rushed towards him. She woke up before she could cry a few times. She quickly pushed him with her hands and cried: "You still have What are you doing when you come back? Go away quickly. I will take care of your funeral here. Don’t come back again."
Pan Fu gently held his sister in his arms: "Sister, it's okay. Thank you for your hard work."
Pan hit her brother hard several times and couldn't help crying loudly anymore: "You are such an evil deed, you have done such a great thing, but now your family is ruined, what should I do?"
"You are a married woman, and the Pan family's guilt cannot fall on you. Sister, please live a peaceful life in the future and don't have to worry about this anymore."
Mrs. Pan raised her head with red eyes: "Mother left early, and father left too. If you are no longer here, how can I, a woman, live on?"
When Pan Fu heard this, a sharp light flashed in his eyes: "That person dares to divorce you? Haha, how brave he is."
All kinds of vicious methods flashed through him in an instant, and now that he had reached this point, it couldn't be any easier to drag people to be buried with him. There really were no taboos.
But he couldn't help but feel sad. It was easy to kill someone and break up the family, but it was difficult to save his sister. Especially after his death, what could he do if his sister's life would be in trouble again?
Without a family, without blood brothers, a woman's family, no matter how rich it is, can only be slaughtered by others.
"Brother Fu, I'm not afraid of this. If you are alive, I will have hope. You must be alive. If you can come to see me, there must be a way, right?"
Pan Fu looked at her apologetically and said: "I can't escape for a while. Those people are controlled by me, but they are weak in the end. The court exerts its strength, which is when I was arrested."
"I'm here to see you for the last time."
Pan's tears couldn't stop flowing, but she tried her best to put on a smile: "Okay, who else can you see besides my sister? My sister also cares about you, so it would be great to see you."
Pan Fu knelt down slowly: "I, as well as my father, have done countless evil things to enjoy wealth and honor. It is not a pity to have such retribution. I only hurt you."
"As a family, we share the same wealth and adversity. I should have a share of the retribution, and my sister is not unjust."
This is true. Pan is the only daughter. She has been the apple of her eye since she was a child. Her food and clothing expenses are much higher than Pan Fu's, and even the girls from the ordinary prefect's family cannot compare with her.
When they got married, they took away nearly half of the Pan family's property, and both Mr. Pan and Pan Fu were willing to do so.
Pan wiped her tears with her white sleeves: "You stay with dad first, and I'll get you some food. I think you're hungry too."
"good."
After Pan left, Pan Fu looked at his father's body and said, "Father, Zhao Zhen and Jiang Shiru have been dragged into the water by their son. It's too late for them to retreat now. The son has only one last step left."
"Originally, according to your instructions, in order to leave a way for my sister to survive, I should not go after the prime minister's ideas, but now my son sees that without your and my blessing, it will be difficult for her as a woman to survive. It’s like going home.”
He took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and shook it slightly. Inside was the poison prepared for himself, in case he was plotted and tortured by Zhao Zhen and others. Its potency was so strong that it could cause people to vomit blood and die in a moment.
Half an hour later, Pan Fu staggered out of the house with a sad look on his face. The following government servants rushed out to surround him, but were immediately knocked down by the people around him. A group of young men sprang out from the street to cover him. Pan Fu disappeared.
The new county magistrate, who arrived late in a hurry, kept yelling and cursing, prompting Pan to come out to ask questions, but they only heard the county magistrate's panicked screams. When everyone entered, they saw Pan lying on her back in front of the mourning hall, her dress neat and her hands clasped on her abdomen. , His complexion is black and his lips are purple, like a ghost.
"What a vicious beast!"
"I guess he was afraid that his sister would reveal his whereabouts, so he took the murderous action. He is worse than a beast!"
"Okay, if you dare to scold Pan Fu, be careful he comes to find you tonight."
Pan Fu used to have a bad reputation in Liyang for stopping children from crying, but now he even poisoned his own sister. This showed how vicious a person he was, and the guards immediately trembled.
"It's been so long, but Pan Fu hasn't been caught yet, and the people from Beijing are nothing special. I thought the master from the Punishment Department was very capable."
The Liyang County Magistrate had a dark face and asked Wu Zuo to come to do an autopsy, and also sent someone to call Pan's husband's family. They still had to decide what to do with the body in the end.
