"I already know what His Highness means."
Although Zhu Su looked stern, Zhu Xian still looked disdainful, as if he was confident and not afraid.
"I would like to ask, is Your Highness planning to abandon my Yongjia Marquis Mansion like a broken shoe? Are you going to put the stigma of stealing prescriptions on my head, Zhu Xian?"
"Framing?" Zhu Su laughed angrily.
"What you said just now, didn't you admit that you covet these prescriptions?"
"Besides. If you weren't here to deal with this Goryeo thief..." As he spoke, Zhu Su pointed at Wang Zaixian who was tied like a pig.
"...Could it be that you are here for an outing?"
"Why did your Highness say this?" Zhu Xian looked innocent.
"I heard that some Goryeo thieves took advantage of the night to rob my Ming craftsmen, so I led my troops to pursue them here."
"Why does Your Highness think that I am the thief's supporter?"
Zhu Su was speechless for a moment.
This guy is so shameless.
"Your Highness is still young and there are some things you don't understand yet."
Zhu Xian talked eloquently.
"It's just a square penny, worth some yellow and white things at most, so His Highness regards it as a treasure and refuses to show it to anyone. Ask other courtiers and nobles, which dignitary is willing to show his face and lose his own face for these things? "
"His Highness said that I colluded with the Korean people for these things... Oh, such nonsense, that is, His Highness is not deeply involved in the world, so he thinks so."
"If you put it in the middle of the court, I'm afraid the courtiers and His Majesty will laugh out loud."
Zhu Su looked at him coldly. What Zhu Xian said was actually correct.
The Ming Dynasty despised merchants, and Zhu Su personally managed the business affairs of Huangzhuang and committed suicide. He was once regarded as "lack of education" by Ru Taisu and needed to enter the main hall for further study. Above the court, even if someone's family really does business, it must be done in the name of a steward.
For example, steward Lu of the Marquis of Ji'an's family, although all the merchants knew that the Marquis of Ji'an, Lu Zhongheng, was standing behind him, but no one could mention it openly.
It's just a tacit understanding.
Moreover, it was a very shameful thing in the Ming Dynasty to be friends with people from other countries. Zhu Xiam, a dignified prince of the Marquis of Yongjia, conspired with a foreigner to create a prince, regardless of the status of the Marquis, just to steal a few prescriptions...
If you tell me this, most people won't believe it.
However, he has evidence in his hands.
"So, the Yongjia Marquis Mansion is planning to deny the truth?"
"But whether you believe it or not is not something I should worry about." Zhu Su glanced at the Korean Wang Zaixian. "I don't know how this Korean managed to bribe your Yongjia Marquis Mansion."
"However, I only care about arresting people. Naturally, the Royal Guards under my father's command will handle such matters."
"And them."
Zhu Su pointed his hand at the trembling family members of the craftsmen.
"Were they all tricked into coming here by you and this Korean thief?"
"As long as the Jin Yiwei asks them what the plans of your Yongjia Marquis Mansion are, they will naturally be exposed to the world."
"When the Jin Yiwei handles the case, you don't have to worry about the court affairs. Once you examine this Korean man named Wang, everything will be clear."
"Zhu Xian, do you really think you can hide the truth?"
"I advise you to take care of yourself."
Previously, Lao Zhu reorganized the Gongwei Division and reorganized it into the Jinyiwei, giving the Jinyiwei the power to set up imperial edicts and investigate and deal with bureaucrats.
There is no need to go through the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple. As long as they have the emperor's order, the Jinyiwei can bypass the Zhongshu Province and the Sixth Ministry and directly investigate and deal with nobles like the Yongjia Marquis Mansion.
The Jinyiwei established by Lao Zhu is actually still a relatively marginal presence in the court, and it has not yet revealed the sharp fangs that Lao Zhu gave this organization.
At this time, although the Jin Yiwei had not yet reached the point where they could cover the sky with one hand and kill officials at will without evidence, as they would later.
But if there is evidence, Zhu Su can still bring down a prince's mansion.
As long as these witnesses are in hand, Zhu Su will naturally have a way to ask Jin Yiwei to cause trouble for Zhu Xian.
"Oh, is there any witness?"
Zhu Su had already turned his head and ignored Zhu Xian. Unexpectedly, Zhu Xian sneered.
Zhu Su turned around subconsciously.
A cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and Zhu Su's hair stood up instantly.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Di Meng, Li Rong and others quickly pulled out their swords from their waists and protected Zhu Su in the middle. Zhu Su was surprised and surprised when he saw Zhu Xian holding the sword in his hand.
This guy actually dares to assassinate Wang Shajia?
Facts have proved that Zhu Su was wrong. He saw Zhu Xian holding a long sword, but instead of coming to Zhu Su, he took a few steps to the left.
Immediately, the long sword was sent out and inserted directly into the throat of Wang Zaixian, who was tied up and looked like a dead pig!
The poor Korean was knocked unconscious but he didn't wake up yet, but he died on the spot!
When the two soldiers who were guarding Wang Zaixian saw Zhu Xian rushing towards him, they hurriedly let go of Wang Zaixian and prepared to draw their swords to defend themselves.
Who would have thought that Zhu Xian would kill Wang Zaixian with just one sword strike!
The two of them immediately froze on the spot.
"Your Highness is young and treats others too leniently. What's the point of interrogating such a thief?"
"I will help your highness to bring him to justice. Don't worry, your highness."
…
The river wind blows.
Wang Zaixian remained tied up and fell into a pool of blood. Over there, in a house of craftsmen who were already shivering, a frightened female family member suddenly screamed.
"Zhu Xian." Zhu Su calmed down and pushed away Li Rong who was blocking him.
"Are you trying to confuse right and wrong?"
"Why did your Highness say this?" Zhu Xian bowed to Zhu Su, but the mockery on his face could not be concealed.
"I am just sharing your worries for Your Highness and our great Ming Dynasty."
"Ha." Zhu Su laughed angrily.
Wang Zaixian's blood was still fishy, stimulating Zhu Su's temples to beat continuously. Seeing the soldiers stationed at Qixiadu all around looking at this place with solemn expressions, and vaguely surrounding this group of people, Zhu Su said coldly:
"Prince Zhu has made up his mind and wants to confuse right and wrong. Why not kill me here too?"
"Otherwise, how can I let you get what you want after I leave this place?"
"Hahahahahahaha, Your Highness thinks too highly of himself." Zhu Xian laughed loudly.
"To put it bluntly, this is just a trivial matter. It's just a recipe, it's not worth it."
"His Highness cares so much, it really shows the dignity of a nobleman of the royal family."
"Is there any reason to blame the Marquis of a mansion in order to investigate the case of missing prescriptions?"
"This king is a virtuous man. If you want to kill him, you will kill him. At most, he will receive a few reprimands from your majesty, but what will happen?" He looked disapproving.
Zhu Su was agitated for a while. He was right. Besides Zhu Su himself, who else could take these square looms and the like seriously?
Even Lao Zhu, after talking to him about those things, I'm afraid he also disapproved of these scientific results.
Only he, Zhu Su, knew how many fortresses this cement could help a country build. Only then did I know how big a storm a Jenny machine could stir up in the grassland.
Only then did I realize how shameless the country of Goryeo was. If these things were stolen by them, China would definitely pay the price at some point in the future.
In the end, I would be disgusted if this country applied for World Heritage status.
On the side, Yao Guangxiao looked at the corpse on the ground thoughtfully.
Since Zhu Xian knew that this matter would not cause any trouble, why did he kill this Korean named Wang Zaixian in full view of the public?
Could it be that there are other shady dealings between the Yongjia Marquis Mansion and this person?
