After Zhao Xuanyi and Shen Wei walked out of the house, they rode a horse home together. Zhao Xuanyi looked very ugly along the way. After seeing this, Shen Wei asked softly, "Young Master, did the eldest master say something again?" What shouldn’t be said?”
"You bastard, how could my father give birth to such a shameless person? You actually want me to intercede for Huang Rui? You are really blind!" Zhao Xuanyi gritted his teeth and said.
When Shen Wei heard this, he didn't say anything. He thought, does this young master really not distinguish between good and bad? No matter how you look at it, this matter is a matter for the royal family. Huang Rui is seeking death. Who can save him? But in the end, he actually asked the young master to plead for mercy. Even if the young master is a grand bachelor, he cannot say this casually!
At this moment, in Dali Temple, Wang Heming was holding a scroll and watching. A policeman hurried into the room, "Wang Shaoqing, it's not good!"
"What's wrong?" Wang Heming put down the scroll in his hand and asked.
"Huang Rui...died in prison!"
"What did you say?" Wang Heming's eyes widened, then he hurriedly turned around and ran to the cell!
When Wang Heming ran into the cell, he turned around and looked at Huang Rui, who was dead in prison, and frowned. Huang Rui hanged himself. The rope he used was his belt. He was hanging in the air, uttering white words. Foam, eyes turned upward, these characteristics are undoubtedly hanging, not poisoning or anything else!
Wang Heming stamped his foot and was so angry that he almost exploded, "Didn't I order someone to keep a close watch on you?"
"Our people just went to have a meal, and it turned out like this when they came back! Shaoqing, he is going to commit suicide. Who can stop a dying person?" the policeman said helplessly.
"Is this suicide? This...?" Wang Heming pointed at the corpse in the cell, and was so angry that he could not speak!
In the palace, Zhu Chufeng sat on the dragon chair, while Zhu Wenyu stood aside. An official in red robes knelt on His Highness, and this man was none other than the Right Prime Minister Huang Ning!
At this moment, Huang Ning still looks like a prime minister. The black gauze hat on his head has been put aside, and the front of his forehead is purple. He has kowtowed countless times. This is a crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. How dare he accept it? But now there is no other way but to kneel here and kowtow!
A young eunuch ran into the hall and knelt on the ground, "Report to the emperor, news came from Dali Temple. Huang Rui was in the dungeon... and hanged himself!"
"What?" Huang Ning raised his head, looking at the little eunuch with a look of shock and disbelief, "Who do you think hanged himself?"
"Huang Rui!"
"Uh...?" Huang Ning rolled his eyes and fainted!
After Zhu Chufeng heard this, he frowned: "Come here, send Prime Minister You back to the mansion and give him a high rank. It is really unbearable to have to go through the pain of losing a son at such an age! Go back to recover first, and the rest will come later." Reconsideration!"
"Yes!" Two guards walked out and carried Huang Ning away!
Zhu Wenyu was very dissatisfied when he heard Zhu Chufeng's verdict, "Father, this...?"
"Old Seven! Let's let this matter go! Prime Minister You is already this age, and I heard that his son is about to get married. He will die at this time. Let's compare our feelings!" Zhu Chufeng said with a sad look on his face.
"Yes!" Zhu Wenyu nodded and said, knowing that things usually said by his father would not be changed, so he could only do this for now!
In the Duke's Mansion, Zhao Xuanyi was drinking tea in the front hall, feeling very depressed because of Zhao Xuanli's trouble. Then a figure outside walked into the hall. Zhao Xuanyi raised his head with a very puzzled look in his eyes: "Brother Wang, why are you here?"
Wang Heming came to Zhao Xuanyi with an apologetic look, "Brother, Huang Rui is dead!"
Zhao Xuanyi stood up from the chair instantly, "What did you say? Dead?"
"Yes, hang yourself!"
Zhao Xuanyi's eyes widened: "Brother Wang, are you sure you committed suicide?"
"According to the situation at the scene, it was suicide. There was no poisoning. There was only a strangulation mark on the neck! It doesn't look like homicide, and there are no signs of prying off the lock on the door!" Wang Heming said.
"When did you die?"
"About...half an hour ago!"
Zhao Xuan slapped the table with a loyal hand. Half an hour ago, wasn't that when he and the prince were eating? No need to ask, the prince must have done this. He was probably afraid that he would go to the palace and sue Zhu Wenyu!
That's why I trapped myself, and then secretly asked Huang Rui to deal with it. What a way to survive by cutting off my tail! With Huang Ning in power for many years, and Huang Rui pleading guilty and committing suicide, it is estimated that Huang Ning, the prime minister, will not change much. Zhu Zhelin has saved Huang Ning!
Wang Heming didn't understand what was going on with Zhao Xuanyi, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, is something wrong?"
Zhao Xuanyi sighed. Wang Heming was not in the court, so he must know very little about these things, and even if he knew these things, it would be useless. "It's nothing. Brother Wang, I don't blame you for this matter. You can go back first. This matter Just treat it like a normal case!”
"He beat the prince, can we handle it as a normal case?" Wang Heming asked with some uncertainty.
"Just listen to me, and you don't have to worry about the rest!"
Wang Heming also seemed to have guessed something, and nodded quickly, "Okay, then I'll go back first, sorry for bothering you, brother!"
"Brother Wang, walk slowly! Brother Shen, send Brother Wang off!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Yes! Wang Shaoqing, please come this way!" Shen Wei sent Wang Heming away very politely!
Zhao Xuanyi sat on the chair, getting angrier as he thought about it. Zhu Zhelin wanted to kill Huang Rui, and he probably couldn't stop it, but he should go to the palace with Zhu Wenyu to at least convict Huang Ning, so that no matter Huang Rui lives or dies, Huang Ning will Can't run! Now it seems that everything is too late!
Less than an hour later, Zhu Wenyu came back with a stiff face. Seeing Zhao Xuanyi's gloomy face, Zhu Wenyu did not speak, but sat on a chair nearby, and the two of them just sat there blankly. !
After a long time, Zhu Wenyu finally said, "Is the Ming Dynasty really so dark now?"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled, "Brother Qi, where did you see just now? The current daybreak is far darker than you thought! It's just that you didn't see it!"
"We really need to change these trends!"
"It's useless! If you can get rid of this group of people based on facts, wouldn't my father still be an ordinary official there for so many years, and the government and the public will still be in a fog?" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.
"I don't believe it! When I was in the world, if I saw such a person, would I still need the government? I would just kill him with one knife. It would be extremely satisfying!" Zhu Wenyu shouted loudly.
"So you don't look like a prince!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
Zhu Wenyu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhao Xuanyi. The two laughed loudly, as if they had found a common language!
In the morning of the next day, Zhao Xuanyi was still sleeping when he was woken up. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Zi Yuan. In order to prevent his second wife from being angry last night, Zhao Xuanyi worked hard and sold himself to coax her. alright!
"What's wrong?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"Brother Shen is outside. He said he has something to tell you. Get up!" Zi Yuan said.
"What the hell is going on? Since I came back from Xi'an, I haven't been allowed to sleep until I wake up naturally one day!" Zhao Xuanyi stood up reluctantly, and Zi Yuan took a clean gown and put it on Zhao Xuanyi!
Zhao Xuanyi walked out of the room and stared at Shen Wei, "What's the matter?"
"My servant just came to inform me that a bell has been hung in the Prime Minister's house to pay homage. I would like to ask if you will go?" Shen Wei asked.
"Are you really sick? You want me to worship that scumbag Huang Rui after he dies? Who is he?" Zhao Xuanyi cursed loudly.
"This...?" Shen Wei looked embarrassed!
Zi Yuan came over at this time, "Brother Shen, ask your servants to send some yellow paper candles over. Just say that my husband is not feeling well and cannot be there!"
"Yes!" Shen Wei nodded and said.
"Why are you giving him money? When you burn it, tell him that he will be my son in the next life and he will not give you money in vain!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
Shen Wei smiled. It seemed that Zhao Xuanyi was going back to his room to sleep. He took Zhao Xuanyi's hand again and said, "Don't leave. There is one more thing!"
"Can you finish it all at once?" Zhao Xuanyi stared at Shen Wei and said.
"Su Xiaoding is back, she just got home!"
"Su Xiaoding? Didn't I ask him to go to Henan to provide disaster relief? Is it going to be over so soon?"
"No, he said he had something important to report to you, so he came back in person!" Shen Wei said.
"That's it, Cheng, let's go and have a look. If there's nothing important, I'll have to break his legs!" After Zhao Xuanyi said that, he followed Shen Wei and walked to the front yard!
After arriving in the front yard, I found Tang Tianli and Sun Yan chatting with Su Xiaoding. They had not seen each other for several months. After seeing them suddenly, they were in a very good mood!
After Su Xiaoding saw Zhao Xuanyi, she hurriedly knelt down and said, "I'm here to see the Lord Protector!"
"Okay, why are you so polite? Who doesn't know who? Why did you come back if you didn't stay well in Henan?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"My lord, there is a great thing, but I can't make the decision, so I came back to ask for your opinion!" Su Xiaoding said with a smile.
"A good thing?" Zhao Xuanyi asked in surprise, and then smiled, "I don't know how long it has been since I heard a good thing, okay! Didn't everyone eat? Let's go to the hall and talk while eating. Brother Shen, let the kitchen do it. Let’s have some appetizers together!” Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Yes!" Shen Wei nodded and said.
There was not much time, and six dishes were served. Zhao Xuanyi frowned when he saw it, one fried peanut, one fried egg, one tomato mixed with sugar...? The six dishes were very vegetarian. "What do we want to order at home? Or are we too poor to open the pot? What kind of snacks are these?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
Shen Wei smiled, "It's so early in the morning and the servants haven't gone out to buy anything yet. What's the use of it?"
"Then there can't be no meat or vegetables at all? In this case, you have people go to the ice cellar, take out the tiger meat and wild boar meat, cut them into slices and stir-fry them with dried chili peppers for me to make it quick!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
"Yes, I'll notify you right away!" Shen Wei smiled and walked away!
Zhao Xuanyi picked up the wine glass and said, "Don't worry, the food will be here soon!"
"Congratulations to the boss on your promotion!" After Su Xiaoding finished speaking, everyone drank a glass of wine!
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Su Xiaoding, "You came back in person. Is there something big going on?"
"That's right, boss, am I not doing disaster relief in Henan? Many people were washed away by floods and had no homes or families. The older ones couldn't survive, and there were many young people left. I heard a while ago Said, the boss wants to continue training soldiers and horses in his hometown? I was thinking, how about bringing all these young people there for training? "
"Anyway, they want a home now, and a house without a house! And as for the cultivated land in Henan, it is estimated that it will not be possible to plant farmers this year, it is too waterlogged! Whether it can be cultivated next year will be different! They also need to find a place to eat, so why not us? Just accept it?"
After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he smiled and said, "You guys are quite capable! As long as they all become soldiers, it will save a lot of military pay for recruitment. In this way, you tell them that they will have enough food when they go to their hometown, and they will not have any during training." Salary, if you can persist and become a Qilin Guard, it will be twenty taels of silver a year!"
"Yes! Boss, I know what you are saying!" Su Xiaoding said with a smile.
Zhao Xuanyi raised his wine glass, "You have merit in this matter. I will remember it for you. If you can train these soldiers, I will reward you with ten thousand households!"
Su Xiaoding stood up immediately with excitement, "Thank you, Lord Protector, I will do a good job!"
This made the two people on the side unhappy. "Boss, you are so partial! I am from Qianhu!" Tang Tianli shouted.
"I still have a hundred households! What did I say?" Sun Yan curled his lips and said.
"Want to be promoted? But it seems a bit far-fetched to promote you now for no reason! In this way, if there is another war in the future and we win again, you will all be granted ten thousand households!" Zhao Xuanyi waved his hand and made a generous promise!
"Hey! This is my boss! Cheers, cheers!" Tang Tianli raised his glass and said!
Several people were drinking wine, and a voice came from outside, "I can smell the smell of wine from no matter how far away I am. I said brother, you didn't call me when you were drinking this early in the morning. It's so boring!"
"Hey, Brother Qi, it's not time yet. I asked someone to prepare two hard dishes. Now the table is full of vegetarian dishes. I want to call you later!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.
Zhu Wenyu came to the dining table and looked at the radish cubes, boiled potatoes, shredded cabbage, and tomatoes mixed with sugar. He blinked and said, "Who believes in Buddhism?"
"Come on, come on, sit down and drink together, the hard food will be here soon!" Zhao Xuanyi pulled Zhu Wenyu to a chair and sat down!
