Cao Zhisheng lay on the ground in a state of embarrassment.
His hair is disheveled and he looks crazy.
But his eyes were smart, and he quietly looked at the group of people walking in through his disheveled hair.
The time is just right.
Immediately, Cao Zhisheng lay on the ground with his hands, as if he didn't see Zhu Yunxi who led the people into the county government office, and knocked his head on the ground.
"You don't care about me..."
"I will die!"
"You are forcing me to do anything. I am a big-ass magistrate, what can I do? I can't fight you, but I have to die today."
"I will come to you after I die."
"Don't even think about running away...Don't even think about running away!"
"I'm having a hard time, so don't even think about it!"
Cao Zhisheng seemed to have no sense of pain, and his forehead banged on the ground. In the blink of an eye, the whole forehead was smashed to pieces. The blood and broken flesh were mixed together, mixed with the fine gauze and gravel on the ground, and his appearance became worse and worse. He looked so upset that he looked like a dead soul in the underworld.
Cao Zhisheng's curses were loud, and his words were filled with resentment.
Zhu Yunxi, who walked into the Lanyang County government office from outside the city, couldn't help but frown.
The county magistrate anxiously squeezed to the side of the emperor's grandson with his hands tied, and took a look at Cao Zhisheng, who was lying in the lobby of the county government office like a madman.
Didn't see it.
The county magistrate lowered his head and whispered: "Your Majesty... Your Highness, this... is Magistrate Cao of this county."
Eunuch Yu Tian walked up to the Lanyang County Magistrate with a frown, waved his hand and pointed to the lobby: "Isn't this a lunatic?"
Lanyang County Magistrate blinked, it was really not easy to answer this question.
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, lowered his brows, and looked calmly at Cao Zhisheng, who was talking nonsense in the lobby of the county government office.
Zhu Yunxi walked lightly towards the county government hall.
Yu Tian rushed up immediately, always blocking the eyes of the Emperor Taisun, as if he was afraid that the lunatic in the lobby would collide with His Highness the Emperor Taisun.
Zhu Yunxi finally walked into the lobby of the Lanyang County government office, wanting to have a good look at what this idiot who could make the decision to blow up the embankment was up to. But the nervous Yutian was always blocking his eyes, and Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but feel anxious.
He raised his foot and kicked it up.
Yutian immediately jumped to the side holding his butt, with a flattering smile on his face.
Zhu Yunxi had a cold face and finally saw clearly Cao Zhisheng, who was still lying on the ground and talking nonsense: "Are you Cao Zhisheng, the magistrate of Lanyang County?"
Although Cao Zhisheng had already noticed someone approaching him, he still trembled slightly when he heard this question.
Cao Zhisheng, who lowered his head, swallowed, but his words remained unchanged.
"Don't even think about living...don't even think about living..."
Zhu Yunxi's face became more and more gloomy, and now he finally understood.
This idiot is not stupid at all. He is just acting, trying to get the price and sell it, so that he can spare his life.
The gloom on Zhu Yunxi's face disappeared in an instant, and he leaned forward and said, "Who will you not let live?"
After asking, Zhu Yunxi stood up straight, crossed his arms across his chest, and stared at Cao Zhisheng who suddenly became quiet.
Outside the lobby, the accompanying officers and soldiers, as well as the Jin Yiwei led by Zhang Hui, had been summoned by Yutian who was always worried that the madman would attack the grandson.
….
Zhu Yunxi didn't look back, he just took out a hand and blocked it in front of everyone.
Cao Zhisheng suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of unwillingness and resentment.
He stood up with difficulty, swaying, but his face was full of anger.
"Everyone!"
"No one should live!"
After cursing a few words, Cao Zhisheng's body went limp and he fell to the ground again, as limp as mud.
Zhu Yunxi slowly squatted down with his hands on his knees, put his hand on Cao Zhisheng's shoulders, approached him and asked softly: "Why?"
Why can't I live? "
Cao Zhisheng whispered from time to time. After hearing the sound, he raised his head blankly, his eyes cloudy. He blinked and his tone became demented: "Who are you?"
"Eh! You crazy person!" Yu Tian, who was not far away, suddenly frowned.
Zhu Yunxi didn't react at all. He patted Cao Zhisheng on the shoulder and said, "It's Zhu Yunxi."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi stared hard into Cao Zhisheng's eyes.
But after Cao Zhisheng heard this, he didn't change at all. Even his eyes didn't change at all. He still asked stupidly: "Who is Zhu Yunxi?"
"Bold! Presumptuous!" Yutian, who had been worried about this, suddenly became angry and stamped his feet fiercely: "Open your dog eyes, this is the grandson of the emperor of our country!"
Zhu Yunxi raised his head and looked at the noisy Yutian, then frowned.
Even if this guy is trying to maintain his dignity, why does his words sound so wrong?
At this time, Cao Zhisheng muttered in a low voice: "The emperor's great grandson? The great grandson... His Royal Highness the great grandson..."
This was repeated several times.
Cao Zhisheng's eyes widened, and he suddenly touched Yutian's heart that had been hanging on him. He tightly grasped Zhu Yunxi's arm with both hands.
"Are you the emperor's grandson?"
"You are Your Highness!"
"I have evidence! I have all of them..."
Snapped!
A crisp sound came from Cao Zhisheng's face.
Zhu Yunxi turned his head with murderous eyes and looked at the officials and soldiers staying in the county office at the moment: "Disperse."
Yutian reacted immediately, jumped to the middle of the lobby, and looked at everyone: "Back off! Everyone, back off!"
shouted with the retreat order.
In the Lanyang County government office, all the accompanying officials and soldiers, as well as the county government officials, bowed and retreated, retreated ten feet away, then quietly turned around and hurriedly walked out of the county government office.
When there were no other people around, only Yutian and Zhang Hui were left in the lobby.
Only then did Zhu Yunxi look again at Cao Zhisheng, who had just been slapped by him.
"Originally, I thought you were a fool, stupid enough to make the decision to blow up the embankment."
Zhu Yunxi spoke very slowly, his eyes always staring at Cao Zhisheng, who was still pretending to be crazy. When he saw that the other party did not respond, he patted this guy on the shoulder again: "But I was wrong. Only now did I realize that you may be the most powerful person in the entire Kaifeng Mansion. smart person."
Having said this, Cao Zhisheng didn't react at all.
"die……"
"They all die..."
"...Everyone...go to death..."
Cao Zhisheng was still mumbling in a low voice, as if this county magistrate was really crazy.
….
Zhu Yunxi paused for a moment, looked at Cao Zhisheng indifferently, and smiled slightly: "Cao Zhisheng, since you are a smart man, you did what you did today to save your life by removing yourself in front of me. The evidence you mentioned is What, where are you now?"
Cao Zhisheng began to shake his head.
"No……"
"No...nothing..."
"Kaifeng Mansion... Kaifeng Mansion? Kaifeng Mansion!"
Zhang Hui, who was standing aside, crossed his hands together, tightened them slightly, and made a snapping sound with his fingers.
He glanced at Yutian beside him, and then at Cao Zhisheng, who was sitting in front of his grandson. With just one glance, Zhang Hui had already chosen a position. He only needed to use his own methods to ensure that this person would take care of everything. Spit it out.
Zhu Yunxi was not in a hurry, and still asked softly: "Xiao Junpeng, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture?"
Cao Zhisheng raised his head, his face full of anger.
"kill!"
"Kill them all! Kill them all! Kill them all!"
Zhu Yunxi's heart sank, and he continued to ask: "Xiao Junpeng, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, is involved in the scandal, so it is impossible for everyone in Kaifeng Prefecture to be alone."
Cao Zhisheng's face became increasingly expressionless
Angry, eyes almost ready to spit fire.
"All die!"
"They're all dead..."
At this time, Zhu Yunxi suddenly changed his words: "The Prince of Zhou's residence is the Kaifeng vassal state..."
Zhu Yunxi spoke more and more slowly, staring at Cao Zhisheng dimly, observing every change of expression on his face.
I saw that when Zhu Yunxi spoke about Prince Zhou's palace, his eyelids moved slightly, and he quickly covered it up.
Do you still have to get to that point on your own after all?
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but feel a little unreasonable in his heart.
Since last year, everything seems to be going smoothly in Ming Dynasty, but only Zhu Yunxi, who is in charge of the political situation, knows that under this smooth flow, there is already an undercurrent.
Zhu Yunxi sighed softly and patted Cao Zhisheng on the shoulder for the last time: "Tell me, where is the evidence you called? Since you want them all to die, I will do this for you after I get the evidence."
Cao Zhisheng's throat sounded like a quail.
Then there was a long silence.
"Evidence? Where is the evidence..."
After a while, Cao Zhisheng muttered twice, then chuckled, and lay down on the ground, twitching even more crazily.
[In view of the general environment,
Zhu Yunxi was not in a hurry, clapped his hands, stood up, and waved to Zhang Hui beside him.
Zhang Hui's eyes lit up and he walked behind Taisun, only to find that Taisun had made no next move.
At this time, Cao Zhisheng suddenly sat up from the ground.
"The evidence is behind the government office!"
"In the government office! In the government office! In the yard behind the government office..."
"Hahaha……"
"Behind the government office, behind the government office... hahaha..."
"Hahaha... Go to hell, go to hell... They're all on that beam..."
After a moment of madness, Cao Zhisheng lay on the ground, running around like a mad dog.
While running, Cao Zhisheng began to pull at his clothes.
….
"Right behind the Kaifeng government office?"
Zhu Yunxi repeated it silently, with the corners of his mouth slightly the same.
Perhaps, this Cao Zhisheng is really the smartest person in Kaifeng Mansion.
Just this time...
Zhu Yunxi walked up to Cao Zhisheng, who was crawling on the ground. He blocked his way forward with his feet, and then stretched out his hand to Zhang Hui.
Cao Zhisheng lay on the ground with his head lowered, neither advancing nor retreating.
Zhang Hui walked over with confusion in his heart.
Zhu Yunxi turned his head and glanced, then lowered his head slightly and fixed his eyes on Zhang Hui's waist.
ever.
Zhu Yunxi pulled out the Xiuchundao and held it in his hand. He had already squatted down, and the blade of the knife was pressed against Cao Zhisheng's neck.
The cold blade pressed against the back of his neck, which chilled Cao Zhisheng's heart almost instantly. His whole body trembled violently, and he no longer lost his madness. He lay on the ground, trembling cautiously.
"I'll be punished by death!"
"I know that I have committed a serious sin. I will tell you whatever your Highness wants to know. Please forgive me for this madman."
Zhu Yunxi sneered, shook his head silently, and pressed down the Xiuchundao again, so that Cao Zhisheng did not dare to move at all.
In Zhu Yunxi's eyes, there was only indifference: "Originally, your dog's life is not important. Killing or not is the same thing. Since you are pretending to be crazy, I can make you crazy for the rest of your life."
But, even if Gu can let you go, can the hundreds of thousands of people in Lanyang County forgive you? Can the people in the six prefectures who suffered this disaster forgive you?
I'm afraid you haven't even seen the execution site you bombed. But when I looked at it, the eyes of the people who were repairing the river embankments were now filled with numbness. This is all your fault... no, it was all caused by you people together.
If I don't kill you, the people will kill me, Ming Dynasty.
Come alone
On the way to Kaifeng Mansion, I received many impeachment memorials, not to impeach you. It was to impeach Pei Benzhi, the magistrate of Chenliu County. He personally beheaded a person in Chenliu County to borrow food the day before. The next day, countless memorials were sent to him to impeach him.
Pei Benzhi could borrow a human head to comfort the people of Chenliu County.
I want to borrow your head today to bring peace to the people of Lanyang County. "
A cry of grief.
There was a sound of knife.
A few drops of blood flowed from the Xiuchun knife, dripped on the ground, and slowly fainted.
Like a blooming wintersweet.
There was no wave in Zhu Yunxi's eyes. The tip of the knife picked up the head on the ground and stretched out his hand towards Zhang Hui.
"It was passed down to Lanyang County, and the imperial court announced the canonical punishment. I hope the people will return to the Ming Dynasty."
Zhang Hui's eyes kept flickering, looking at the big human head in front of him, he carefully took the knife back from Zhu Yunxi's hand, and looked at Yu Tian who was standing aside.
Then Zhang Hui held the embroidered spring knife, picked up the head, and walked quickly out of the Lanyang County government office.
A few moments.
There was a commotion outside the county government office.
Zhu Yunxi walked aside and sat down, looked at the corpses on the ground, and then raised his eyebrows at Yu Tian, who was cowering aside in fear.
Yu Tian hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, this place is bloody. Do you want to find another place to rest first?"
Opening his mouth, Zhu Yunxi sighed softly again.
Under Yutian's worried gaze, Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "I should have brought the little fat one out this time, but there is no one around to talk to and discuss matters."
….
Yutian, who was standing aside, had a hint of resentment on his face.
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, then held his forehead with his hand, closed his eyes slightly and rested: "Let the people outside deal with the disaster, and then ask the people from Lanyang County to come in and clean up the corpses."
Not being able to become someone who could talk to His Highness, Yu Tian felt a little resentful in his heart. He nodded and walked outside, avoiding the headless corpse on the ground.
…
About ten miles southwest of Lanyang County.
The ground is covered with yellow mud and the roads are difficult to navigate. In the wilderness, only the people of each village were clearing debris from the fields, replanting the fields, and clearing the ditches.
Everything is so desolate and dilapidated, with little life and vitality.
At this moment, a group of officials wearing official robes and soap clothes were trudging with difficulty.
Among this group of people, the most eye-catching one was the official who walked in front, wearing shackles and wearing a green robe and a black gauze hat.
In normal times, such a person would be called a criminal.
But before the prisoner puts on the shackles, he will take off his official robe and remove the black gauze hat on his head.
Next to official Dai Yi, there were several officers led by the magistrate of Chenliu County, Kaifeng Prefecture.
The official looked at Lanyang County not far ahead, and then turned to look at Magistrate Pei who put on the shackles beside him, with unbearable and puzzled expression on his face.
"Pei County, you killed that thief Chen for the sake of our Chenliu County. After killing him, all the wealthy gentry in the city donated food. We, the people of Chenliu County, all speak for you. Why do you... ...Why do you come here in shackles to plead guilty to the grandson? What crime are you guilty of?"
Pei Benzhi shook his head, with no fear on his face and a look of indifference: "The national law cannot be violated. If I can kill people arbitrarily, can others also do it? Then what is the use of the law? What do the people have to rely on? The emperor breaks the law and the common people are guilty. I have issued an imperial edict to punish myself. I am only a seventh-grade county magistrate, but I kill people privately without the approval of the court. How can I live in peace?"
There was a trace of anger on the face of the official: "Is Pei County impeached because of those people? I'm afraid the impeachment memorial has already been in the hands of His Highness Taisun, and I haven't seen what His Highness did! If His Highness really cared, he would have sent it long ago Jinyiwei has captured Pei County!"
The official felt that his county magistrate was good at everything, and he could be said to be one of the few good people in the Ming Dynasty.
But he is so stubborn!
A single-minded person, he deserves to be the intellectual for eight whole years.
county!
But no matter how angry he was at the county magistrate's inaction, the official still sighed and looked at the magistrate of Lanyang County with twinkling eyes. He only hoped that the magistrate would not be severely punished when he saw His Highness Taisun. It would be best. It is to be able to let go gently.
Such a stubborn and stubborn donkey should slowly die of old age even if he is not promoted.
Pei Benzhi did not worry about his future.
He even slowly stopped and turned to look at a pine forest not far away from the road.
On the plain, the entire pine forest clearly presents a highland slope.
This is the construction style of Han Dynasty tombs.
Pei Benzhi stopped to watch and said with a smile: "This should be the burial ground of Zhang Gong Wen Chengliang, Marquis of Han Dynasty."
The county magistrate refused to leave, so the pian could only helplessly stop and turned his head to look at the graves angrily.
He yelled angrily: "There are several graves of Zhang Liang. Everyone says that Zhang Liang is buried. How many Zhang Liangs could there be in the former Han Dynasty? My subordinates think that this is not necessarily Zhang Liang's burial ground."
Pei Benzhi didn't react at all. He just looked back at the clerk and shook his head: "You, when I saved you from the flood, I asked you to study more, but you didn't study."
The official curled his lips.
"I'm not a person who studies..."
Pei Benzhi was noncommittal and smiled: "So you don't understand what I just said."
The county official made the official feel agitated.
I couldn't help shouting: "I don't understand! I don't understand your reasoning! But I know that you may die!"
"Who said I was going to die?"
Pei Benzhi suddenly asked with a smile.
Then, he leisurely adjusted the shackles he was wearing to make himself a little more comfortable.
Finally, Pei Benzhi slowly turned his head and looked at Lanyang County.
"Maybe my grandson is just waiting for me to chat with him?"
The pian opened his mouth and looked at his county master with dull eyes.
The clerk stamped his feet in anger, and secretly cursed in a low voice with his flat mouth: "You are just a stubborn donkey! A stubborn donkey! A stubborn donkey!"
