In the study room, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were wide open with anger, and his whole body was full of momentum. He stared at Chen Huaiyi, bloodshot eyes slowly crawled up, as if he would kill someone at any time.
Chen Huaiyi was forced by Zhu Yuanzhang's momentum. At this moment, he was in a state of chaos. He kowtowed vigorously to Zhu Yuanzhang and said:
"Your Majesty, spare my life. Your Majesty, please bypass me this time. I will not dare to do it next time."
"shut up."
Zhu Yuanzhang roared like a tiger, which shocked Chen Huaiyi on the spot so much that he dared not speak.
"Look at your coward, how can you still be upright as a censor? You are simply a coward."
"I am a coward, I am a waste. I beg the Emperor to forgive me this time."
Chen Huaiyi cried bitterly, his head was red and swollen, and he was still banging on Zhu Yuanzhang desperately.
"Stop knocking, let me ask you, who ordered you to do this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked disgusted. He originally thought that Chen Huaiyi would be a strong critic, but now it seems that he is simply a coward and a softie.
For such a person, Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't have the patience to waste him anymore, so he could send Chen Huaiyi on his way by directly asking the person behind the scenes.
"No one pointed out the envoy."
Chen Huaiyi was already frightened. He just said what he had to say directly, not daring to hide anything.
"I drank a little wine a few days ago. I was so drunk that I lost consciousness and actually talked nonsense in the memorial."
"Please, Your Majesty, please forgive me this time for the sake of my drunkenness."
"drunk?"
Zhu Yuanzhang still looked angry and shouted:
"Talking the truth after drinking, it seems that you have a strong opinion on our title of king and guarding the border!!"
“I don’t dare, I absolutely don’t dare!!”
Chen Huaiyi was so scared that he peed at the moment. He felt like his life was already flying in the sky.
"Don't you dare? It's not impossible!!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang shouted suddenly and said:
"It seems that you only dare to speak your mind and say what's in your heart only when you're drunk."
"How dare you scold me bloody and scold our princes till they are worthless."
"Chen Huaiyi, you are so bold!!"
At the end of the sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly slapped the table and stood up, his roar shook the whole upper study room, and Chen Huaiyi was frightened to death.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Chen Huaiyi stammered for a long time, but he couldn't form a complete sentence of begging for mercy.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Chen Huaiyi like this, he knew that he wouldn't be able to ask anything today, so he waved his hand and said:
"Pull this bitch down and torture him to extract a confession. We need to know who is behind him!!"
The guards outside the palace quickly entered the room and took Chen Huaiyi out. Chen Huaiyi could not say a word and left a stain on the ground.
After Chen Huaiyi was dragged out, Zhu Yuanzhang was still angry and roared in the hall:
"Trash, loser, idiot, weakling."
"Why did we let him be the supervisory censor in the first place?"
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was still angry, Zhu Biao stepped forward again and said:
"Father, please don't be angry. Chen Huaiyi will die if he does too much injustice."
"He had already had his legs broken before he came in. It seems like he was punished by God."
"Father, it's better to calm down, don't let your anger destroy your body."
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this. Only then did he remember the miserable situation of Chen Huaiyi.
Although he was secretly happy, Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but be suspicious. After all, Chen Huaiyi was also a dignified censor. How could he be beaten so miserably?
Could it be related to the person behind him?
Zhu Yuanzhang became suspicious and immediately called Mao Xiang in.
"Go and check for us. How did Chen Huaiyi's leg break?"
Mao Xiang took the order and left.
It didn't take long for Mao Xiang to investigate clearly the cause and effect, and then rushed back to the study room.
"How? Has the investigation been clear?"
"The investigation revealed that Chen Huaiyi's legs were broken by Masandao."
Mao Xiang reported the results of his investigation to Zhu Yuanzhang in detail.
"Ma Sandao? How did Ma Sandao meet Chen Huaiyi?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked puzzled. One was a gentle censor, and the other was a rough and reckless man. How could these two people get together?
"Where did they meet?"
When Mao Xiang was asked this question by Zhu Yuanzhang, his face felt a little uncomfortable and he hesitated:
"On...on the boat."
"Huafang?"
Zhu Yuanzhang did not react for a while, his expression became more confused, and his voice even increased.
"That's it...that's the brothel!!"
Mao Xiang added again.
"Bastards, what a bunch of bastards."
"A high-ranking member of the imperial court is brazenly visiting a brothel. These people clearly don't take our laws into consideration."
Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately furious. He clearly stipulated in the Ming Law that officials were not allowed to visit brothels.
These officials even knew how to break the law.
"This Masandao is really proud of his favor. Not only did he dare to go to a brothel, he even beat the censor in public and broke his legs. Is this to let the people see the joke of our Ming Dynasty?"
"Masandao, Masandao! Do you really think we dare not kill you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was cold and biting, and he gritted his teeth when he spoke, and his back molars were almost broken by him.
"There was a reason for Ma Sandao's action. According to the people next to him, Ma Sandao's action was instigated by others."
Mao Xiang hesitated for a long time, but decided to tell the truth, otherwise Ma Sandao might really be chopped down by Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Who? Who dares to instigate Masandao to beat up the imperial official? We have to skin him."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were scarlet, and he felt that he was so angry that he was so angry.
This group of government officials is simply a ragtag group of people, and it’s terrible.
"It seems to be Li Jin."
Mao Yao finally named the culprit.
"Li Jin? Li Jin!!!"
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this name, he was in a daze, and then he became furious.
"It's him again!! This bitch always gets restless wherever he goes."
"We have to kill him this time. Only then can he be cut into thousands of pieces and covered with thin-skinned daylilies to relieve the hatred in my heart."
Zhu Yuanzhang's roar made Mao Xiang laugh out loud. He didn't understand why Zhu Yuanzhang was so resentful towards Li Jin.
But when Zhu Biao next to him saw this, he could no longer sit still and quickly admonished:
"Father, why don't you listen to the whole story before making a decision?"
"Mao Xiang, tell the whole story quickly, don't hide it!"
Zhu Biao winked at Mao Xiang below. Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang did not stop him, Mao Xiang quickly began to tell what happened in the boat.
"Okay! If you go to a kiln, you can spend tens of thousands of taels to find the kiln sister."
"For my own selfish reasons, I actually took out two hundred thousand taels of silver and instigated others to beat up the imperial censor!!"
"Okay, great!! This Li Jin seems to be really lawless."
It was okay for Zhu Yuanzhang not to listen, but after hearing what Li Jin had done, his face turned purple with anger.
"In this case, we will send Li Jin to the West!!!"
