"drink!"
"Well... I can't drink anymore. You live in the British government and drink wine every day. We really can't drink you."
Lan Yu just wanted to say "keep drinking", but then he shook his head and said soberly.
When it comes to drinking, Lan Yu is really fierce. Holding a pound of high-altitude wine from Xiao Han, she drank five jars by herself.
Unfortunately, this time he met Tong Zhangshun who drank more. Lan Yu felt as if Tong Zhangshun had practiced some kung fu, and it had no effect at all.
Xiao Han looked at Tong Zhangshun's condition and had some guesses in his mind.
This should be the legendary fact that alcohol is not absorbed.
If the king encounters a cheat, it belongs to him.
"Brother Tong."
Xiao Han said to Tong Zhangshun.
"Your Highness."
When Tong Zhangshun saw Xiao Han, he immediately stepped forward and said.
"Go to the warehouse to pick out a big tonic soup, boil it, and then have someone kick down the prince's door to bring it in later."
"Just say I asked you to do it."
Xiao Han said to Tong Zhangshun.
"this…"
Tong Zhangshun hesitated for a moment, and then met Xiao Han's eyes.
"okay."
Tong Zhangshun nodded in agreement.
All the way to the East Palace, Xiao Han's anger was gone. After all, he was his brother. He couldn't do too much, so he just returned Zhu Biaocha's big tonic soup intact. Of course, it had to be stuck. point.
"Also, send me another copy of all the incriminating evidence about Hu Weiyong, and get ready to take action."
"Finally, let people keep an eye on Hu Weiyong and make sure he doesn't notice anything and run away early."
Xiao Han paused and continued to speak.
"promise!"
Tong Zhangshun said.
Hu Mansion.
In the East Palace, Hu Weiyong came back early after drinking a few glasses of wine.
"Xiao Wu, how are you? Is there any action from Jin Yiwei?"
Hu Weiyong asked Xiao Wu.
"Sir, there is no reaction from Jin Yiwei."
Xiao Wu replied to Hu Weiyong.
"Am I overthinking it?"
"The prince really didn't intend to touch me. When Xiao Han punished Wang Guangyang, he just beat me?"
"Yes, it should be. In any case, I, Hu Weiyong, have also made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and I am Mr. Li's student."
"If you don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, His Royal Highness will not be too harsh after all."
Hu Weiyong comforted himself as he spoke, and secretly made up his mind to restrain himself in the future and conduct himself as a human being with his tail between his legs.
The next day.
British government.
Zhu Biao came to Xiao Han with dark circles under his eyes.
Last night, he had already finished his work, but at this time, the big tonic soup that Xiao Han arranged for Tong Zhangshun to deliver arrived.
Of course, the maids in the Prince's East Palace would definitely not dare to kick in the door.
As a result, Chang Qingyun, who was still unfinished, pulled him to fight until morning.
After all, although Zhu Biao claims to be as strong as an ox.
But as the saying goes, there are no bad plowed fields, only exhausted cows. Even cows cannot bear it.
Therefore, although Zhu Biao had a great time on his wedding night, he was still sore all over.
"Fengxue, you guy..."
Zhu Biao looked at Xiao Han, his eyes full of helplessness.
"How about it?"
"We brothers should think about you."
"Knowing that you gave me your share, we were afraid that you wouldn't have enough, so we gave you another share."
Xiao Han looked at Zhu Biao and said with a smile.
"You must be the first one in history who dares to cause trouble at the prince's wedding."
Zhu Biao rolled his eyes.
"ah?"
"Why!"
"I have a good heart and become a donkey's liver and lungs, so I feel sorry for you in vain."
"It seems that I, Xiao Han Yingming I, have flattered me this time."
"If His Highness the Crown Prince is not angry anymore, just kill the ministers."
Xiao Han sighed softly, pretending to be sad.
Zhu Biao:…
"I really want to kill you."
"But I guess my father and mother detained this imperial edict as soon as I left the East Palace. They will come back and beat me up."
Zhu Biao gritted his teeth.
"Okay, don't take advantage of me and behave yourself. I didn't give you poison."
Xiao Han chuckled.
"You wait, waiting for your wedding..."
"Um, wait, what is this on your desk?"
Zhu Biao snorted, and halfway through his words, he noticed a large pile of paper on Xiao Han's table.
"Oh, this, this is Hu Weiyong's crime."
Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.
"Um?"
"What are you..."
"Wait! There are people under the knife, but we can't kill them now!"
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing.
"Ahem!"
"I'm afraid it's too late. My secret guards are already at Hu Weiyong's house."
Xiao Han coughed twice.
"you…"
Zhu Biao suddenly held a breath in his throat.
"Okay, okay! This is how you play, it has to be you!"
"That's all, Hu Weiyong will be unlucky if he encounters you. He will die two days earlier. Who would have been targeted by a guy like you?"
Zhu Biao gritted his teeth and said.
"Let's go, it's time to go to court, let's go together."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got up very early to pick up the minister. The minister is so grateful that he will devote himself to the Ming Dynasty until his death."
Xiao Han said, patting his chest.
"I…"
"Let's go."
Zhu Biao sighed.
Did he go to bed early?
I didn't sleep at all.
Hu Weiyong, it’s not that we don’t want to save you from living for two more days, it’s actually Xiao Fengxue, a young teacher from Huaixi, who is plotting against you.
Fengtian Temple.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head high on the throne.
"Tianfu is virtuous!"
"Haiyu Xianning!"
…
The ministers shouted loudly, but Hu Weiyong was nowhere to be seen in the crowd.
"Master Hu, what's going on?"
"I didn't drink much yesterday. Why are you late for court today?"
Some ministers noticed Hu Weiyong's absence and couldn't help but whisper.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang looked puzzled.
Although he knew that Xiao Han was ready to attack Hu Weiyong at any time, he did not inform him before taking action today.
"Everyone loves you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.
boom!
At this time, the tied-up Hu Weiyong was thrown in from outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Hu Weiyong!"
Xiao Han took a step forward and spoke loudly.
"Um?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned at first, and then noticed Zhu Biao's expression as if he had eaten a fly.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had become a mature man, immediately guessed seven, seven or eighty-eight, and couldn't help but smile.
I never expected that Hu Weiyong, who was at the height of his power, would actually become a victim of Xiao Han and Zhu Biao's vindictiveness in the end.
"Play!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.
Now that we have reached this point, we can only go along with it.
After all, Xiao Han didn't do it secretly. Zhu Yuanzhang knew about all this before.
At most, even Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect to choose this time.
"I want to impeach Hu Weiyong, who formed a clique for personal gain, was corrupt and perverted the law. The evidence is conclusive!"
As he spoke, Xiao Han waved his hand, and someone immediately threw a pile of incriminating evidence directly at him.
Seeing this, Hu Weiyong, who originally wanted to shout that he was wronged, turned green.
If Xiao Han originally found out that Wang Guangyang was a master of human body contouring, then Xiao Han is still tracing the human body. However, this time, every knife was traced into his flesh, Hu Weiyong, and it was Ling Chi.
"Hu Weiyong, do you have anything to say about the British impeachment?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Hu Weiyong.
"Pleas guilty!"
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen all pleads guilty! Your Majesty, for the sake of Wei Chen's past achievements, please bear all the blame for Wei Chen alone and spare Wei Chen's family."
Hu Weiyong immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Um?"
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had never been in court before, was stunned by Hu Weiyong's performance.
What on earth did Xiao Han investigate? How could even an old fox like Hu Weiyong be willing to die without making any excuses?
"snort!"
"Then let's see what you did and then make a decision."
Zhu Yuanzhang, who almost agreed to Hu Weiyong directly, said this out of curiosity.
After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Hu Weiyong looked at each other and turned pale.
It's over.
If Zhu Yuanzhang had seen all the evidence of Xiao Han's Ling Chi handling the case, then his family's life would be miserable.
Don't worry about whether Hu Weiyong knew him or not, or his distant relatives, as long as they had some relationship with him, they were all gone.
He, Hu Weiyong, will definitely die!
Anyone who has anything to do with him has no chance of living!
Soon, a eunuch handed Zhu Yuanzhang a pile of accusations in front of him.
Zhu Yuanzhang took it and started to look through it. It didn't matter if he didn't read it. The more he looked at it, the look on his face became ugly, and finally his hands began to tremble.
boom!
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had watched half of it, threw the pile of crimes back to the ground.
"Hu Weiyong!"
"You are so brave!"
"It's in vain that we trust you so much and give you so much power!"
"Look what you've done?"
"Which one! Which one is not enough for you to die a hundred times?"
"How did you lick your face and ask us to let your little one go?"
Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out a finger and pointed at Hu Weiyong.
He knew that Hu Weiyong deserved to die, but he didn't expect that he should die so much.
In his opinion, no matter how much he died, could Yang Xian still deserve to die?
So I didn't read much of the news given by Jin Yiwei, and planned to let brothers Xiao Han and Zhu Biao do it.
Unexpectedly, what Hu Weiyong did was worse than Yang Xian's.
"The criminal Hu Weiyong is willing to plead guilty and serve as a warning to others!"
"But these things were all done by Hu Weiyong, and the people around him who were not involved in these things are innocent. I hope that His Majesty will impose all the severe punishments on Hu Weiyong alone, and give them a happy life, that is, Your Majesty will be chopped up alive. I am a humble minister, I am a humble minister, and I am willing to tie a grass ring to repay you in the next life."
Hu Weiyong kowtowed and said.
"hehe!"
"Okay, okay!"
"Very good! Very good!"
"Since you, Hu Weiyong, are so responsible, I promise you."
"However, we don't think Ling Chi is appropriate for your crime."
"We are kind-hearted and can't bear to see my old brother wailing miserably. Let's do this. I'll give you a chance to leave with a smile."
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.
"Biao'er, if you do this, go and prepare. Let's cut down the nine tribes of Hu Weiyong first, and then deal with Hu Weiyong."
Zhu Yuanzhang called Zhu Biao over and whispered a few words to Zhu Biao.
Suddenly, Zhu Biao's expression changed and he nodded.
"Come here, arrest everyone involved with Hu Weiyong first!"
Then Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.
Immediately, the Jinyi guards who had already known all of Hu Weiyong's crimes rushed in from outside the palace and rushed into the crowd of civil and military officials.
Each official kept shouting that he was wronged and was eventually dragged off.
For a moment, everyone in the civil and military officials felt in danger, and they were all shaking like chaff. Some even peed their pants in fear.
Amidst the screams, howls, and curses, no one involved with Hu Weiyong could escape, and they were all captured by the Jin Yiwei.
After a while, the hall seemed much more spacious.
The remaining ministers also expressed their luck that they were not colluding with Hu Weiyong.
Jinling Chengxi Vegetable Market.
Rows of people were forced to kneel on the ground, wailing, begging for mercy, and yelling in anger.
Hu Weiyong was tied up and knelt beside Zhu Yuanzhang. He looked at all the people in front of him who were related to him and closed his eyes.
After today, most of the traces of Hu Weiyong's existence during this time will disappear.
"Your Majesty, noon has arrived."
A eunuch who was watching the time reminded Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Execution for us!"
"Hu Weiyong, open your eyes and watch!"
Zhu Yuanzhang scolded angrily, shouted loudly, and then shouted coldly at Hu Weiyong.
"Why!"
Hu Weiyong sighed and slowly opened his eyes.
"Execution!"
The eunuch's shrill voice sounded.
Poof! Poof!
Heads rolled down one after another, blood splattered.
The interweaving sounds of wailing, screaming, and angry curses seemed to be gradually pulled away by the evil ghost. As the number of people decreased, the noise became smaller and smaller.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Hu Weiyong's lips moved, and after a while of silence, he finally squeezed out such a sentence.
"Shouldn't you hate me?"
"I will kill your whole family."
Zhu Yuanzhang said to Hu Weiyong.
"I don't dare."
"It was the greed of the humble minister who failed everything in those days, failed the Ming Dynasty, and failed the people of the world."
"Your Majesty can give them a happy life without any torture. I am very grateful to you."
"May my Ming Dynasty be immortal forever!"
Hu Weiyong said.
As time went by, thousands of people who had originally packed the entire vegetable market fell away. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang at this time was not the violent old Zhu in history, and he did not choose to be implicated again.
"According to the outcome we gave Hu Weiyong, let's execute him."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, feeling a little tired for a while.
Originally, when he saw the crimes, he hated Hu Weiyong, but when it came time to actually execute them, facing Hu Weiyong who seemed to be bearish on everything, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little unmotivated.
Even for a moment, after listening to Hu Weiyong's blessing, Zhu Yuanzhang had a suspicion, whether the rules he had set were too strict.
After all, he is not the hard-hearted Zhu Yuanzhang after the ultimate rage. Empress Ma, Zhu Biao, and Xiao Han are by his side. At this time, the shadow of Zhu Chongba can still be seen in him.
But immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang erased these inappropriate thoughts about women's benevolence from his mind.
He is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The laws of the Ming Dynasty are the rules of the Ming Dynasty and his principles. They are the principles of the Ming Dynasty. No one can be allowed to break them.
For the sake of the entire Ming Dynasty and the people of this great tomorrow, he must learn to let go of some things from the past and kill Zhu Chongba bit by bit from his body.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like this feeling, but he had to do it.
This is why he always hopes to give the throne to Zhu Biao and return to Fengyang to herd cattle.
Because after going through thousands of sailings, Lao Zhu suddenly realized that what he really wanted to be was Zhu Chongba who was herding cattle, not Zhu Yuanzhang who was above the 95th Five-Year Plan.
Zhu Chongba is a person, and Zhu Yuanzhang is an identity, an identity that must be feared by the world.
Historically, it was precisely because the people who had been closest to him, such as Queen Ma and Zhu Biao, all died that Zhu Yuanzhang's last possibility of wanting to be Zhu Chongba was completely shattered. He could no longer be Zhu Chongba, so he had no choice but to Personally give the former Zhu Chongba the last blow, kill him completely, and then completely become a lover of the nine races, Zhu Yuanzhang!
Emperor Hongwu, Hongwu, as the Emperor of Hongwu, decisive killing is a must and must be done. Only supreme martial virtue, monstrous murderous intention, and absolute authority can pave the way for future generations who have no foundation. .
An eunuch came up and dragged Hu Weiyong down, tied him to a tree, and began to brush things on Hu Weiyong's body.
Soon, Hu Weiyong's body was covered with ants.
"Uh...haha! Hahahaha!"
"It turns out that Your Majesty is planning to tickle me to death. Thank you, Your Majesty, haha! Hahahaha!"
"Long live Daming!"
Hu Weiyong burst out laughing, his itchy flesh twitching, but he never said a bad word about the Zhu family or the Ming Dynasty until his death.
"Dad, when he dies, do you still want to hang him on top of the city?"
Zhu Biao asked Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Alas! Use these people's heads to build a temple outside the city, and then put them on top. When they die, just bury them."
"If we still remember his achievements, we won't be afraid of him being separated from his family."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed softly and showed the greatest kindness he could give as Zhu Yuanzhang.
At this time, what neither Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao nor Xiao Han knew was that in Jinling City, while the Jinyi Guards were busy arresting Hu Weiyong's nine tribes, a brothel woman was redeemed by a mysterious buyer and quietly left the city.
"Xiao Wu, Mr. Hu, he, he is really..."
The frightened woman asked the masked Xiao Wu beside her.
"Shut up if you don't want to die!"
"After the Jin Yiwei ransacked the master's house, they were able to detect our actions very quickly."
"Also, you are not the one who called me Xiaowu. You are not qualified until I confirm that the child in your belly is a boy."
Xiao Wu snorted coldly.
British government.
"What?"
"The group of confidants that Hu Weiyong supported back then are missing two?"
"Why did you tell me such an important thing?"
Tong Zhangshun reported to Xiao Hanhui.
"This... Your Highness, we have neglected our duty."
"After we controlled the people in Hu's house, when the Jin Yiwei came, we handed it over to them, thinking that they would clean it carefully."
"In the end, the Jin Yiwei didn't find it. They thought we had already cleaned it up, so they let the two loyal servants run away."
Tong Zhangshun said awkwardly.
Xiao Han:…
Did you teach in high school and college in your previous life? Are you playing this game with me?
"Have you sent someone to chase him?"
"This Hu Weiyong, in the end, even his most trusted loyal servant ran away on his own?"
Xiao Han shook his head slightly and said.
