Outside the palace.
East gate.
At this time, in the place of Denwengu, people were buzzing.
All the people who came to Beijing and near the east gate came!
In the Ming Dynasty, apart from the entertainment of high-ranking officials and nobles, the entertainment of the common people was listening to music and having children.
Now that something big like someone playing the drum has happened, how could they not just watch the excitement?
"Oh, this person must have been oppressed by the officials and can't live any longer, otherwise he would never come to play the Dengwen drum."
In the crowd, a man spoke.
"Yes, you should know that those who play the drum will be beaten ten times even if they succeed in redressing their grievances in the end!"
"Hmph! Those dog officials are not bullying people too much! Otherwise, who would live a good life but not come to play the drums!"
Another person said coldly.
"That's right, that's right."
"..."
At this time, Accountant Zhu, who had his head bowed deeply, watched as more and more people gathered.
He understood that if things were delayed, there would be more surprises.
And now the young master has gone to the Lu brothers' place for a banquet.
If this is not careful, let the Lu family and the two of them do something good for the young master.
Even if he escapes today, he will be punished by His Majesty in the future.
After all, he was the emperor's grandson!
Thinking of this, Accountant Zhu gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Your Majesty! The common people want to sue the emperor's grandson for instructing his family to rob people's property!"
Accountant Zhu had just finished speaking.
There was a moment of silence in the field.
But what followed was an uproar!
The crowd is excited!
"What?! The emperor's grandson actually robbed people of their property?!!!"
"tear!"
"Fortunately, I thought the Crown Prince was a kind and filial prince, but I didn't expect him to be such a person!"
"It's really terrible! How can the emperor's grandson, who robs people's property like this, become the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty?"
"The emperor breaks the law and is as guilty as the common people! Please punish the emperor's grandson!"
At this time, someone in the crowd shouted: "The emperor has committed the same crime as the common people."
The common people spoke this sentence one after another.
"The emperor breaks the law and is as guilty as the common people! Please punish the emperor's grandson!"
"The Emperor..."
…
At this time, when Zhu Accounting Room finished speaking this sentence.
Not only were the people shocked, Zhu Yuanzhang and the royal family were also shocked!
Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, he didn't expect that the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen would actually rob people's property!
After all, the impression in his mind of the emperor's grandson was that he was filial and loving to the people.
I didn’t expect to find out his true face today!
Thinking about this, Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Yunwen with cold eyes.
At this time, Zhu Yunwen, who was enjoying the melon, saw Maotou pointed directly at him.
Immediately he knelt down in fear and said: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson definitely did not rob people's property!!"
"This must...must be him who framed his grandson!!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already angry, became even more furious.
"Fart! Do you think the people will risk being killed with a stick to frame you?!"
"We can see clearly that you did something to gain benefit from the people, which is why the people came to complain!!"
After Zhu Yunwen heard this, he felt even more aggrieved.
"Grandpa Huang! My grandson would never do such a thing!!!"
"If my grandson really does such a thing, then... let my grandson be struck by lightning!!!"
Zhu Yunwen swore this poisonous oath, and even Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unsure.
He knows exactly what Zhu Yunwen looks like in normal times, and he should not rob people of their property.
So what's going on?
Is this person falsely accusing the emperor's grandson? ! !
Thinking of this, Lao Zhu looked at "Zhu Accountant" with a cold face.
Said: "Old man, please tell the truth about how the emperor's grandson robbed your family's property. If there is any lie in it, do you know the consequences of falsely accusing the current prince!!"
Hearing this, Accountant Zhu's body trembled even more.
But now that the words have been spoken, there is no way to back down even if you want to.
Immediately tell the whole story of the matter.
"Your Majesty, Cao Min's family refined a kind of white salt... because it sold well... the Lu brothers took a fancy to it... and robbed it..."
When Accountant Zhu told the story about Bai Yan, Princess Lu's face turned pale.
When her two younger brothers came over, they told her personally that they had refined it, so she didn't think much about it.
After all, although the two younger brothers were somewhat ineffective, they would not cheat her sister.
But who would have thought that this was actually not refined by them!
But when she thought about what Zhu Accountant said about the crazy sales of white salt, she understood everything in an instant.
The two younger brothers must have seen the white salt selling well and wanted it jealously, so they used the government to get the white salt.
At this time, after Lao Zhu listened, he thought about the white salt offering at the previous banquet, and he understood everything.
Immediately looked at Princess Lu coldly.
Seeing the emperor looking at her, Princess Lu quickly knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I don't know that my two brothers took it by force. They just told me that they refined it themselves..."
"So you dedicated the white salt you took from people's property to me, hoping that I would join in the same deeds with you?"
Lao Zhu said calmly.
And when Princess Lu heard Lao Zhu calling himself me, she immediately started sweating.
Your Majesty usually addresses us, but when he addresses me, it means that he is really angry! !
Princess Lu said fearfully: "Concubine...I don't mean that, it's just...just...just..."
"Just what?"
Thinking of her two younger brothers, and then looking at her son who was the crown prince, Princess Lu closed her eyes in grief.
I'm sorry, brother, for the future of the emperor's grandson, I have to sacrifice you!
Princess Lu, who had figured it out, said with a heartbroken expression.
"It's just that I was kept in the dark and didn't know where the white salt came from."
"It's just that the two younger brothers said they made it, so I believed it."
Hearing these words, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became even colder.
He didn't expect that Princess Lu would directly give up her two biological brothers in order to exonerate herself!
A person who treats his younger brother so cold-bloodedly must never be allowed to stay by the Emperor's grandson's side again!
Lao Zhu looked at Princess Lu and said nothing coldly.
He just turned to the eunuch beside him and said: "Important! The two Lu brothers, as relatives of the emperor, actually competed with the people and robbed property. From today on, they will be deprived of all imperial titles! They will be thrown into prison! Three days later , peel off the skin of day lilies to show public anger!!"
Hearing this, Lu, who was already frightened, was immediately frightened and fainted to the ground!
When Zhu Yunwen saw his mother fainted, he was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled to Lu's side.
He yelled for the imperial doctor.
When the people surrounding him heard that Zhu Yuanzhang had sentenced the two men to peel off the day lilies, they all shouted, "The emperor is holy, long live the emperor!"
Ignoring Zhu Yunwen who was shouting behind him, Lao Zhu just quietly asked someone to take "Zhu Accounting Room" with him and then returned to the palace.
As soon as he entered the palace, Lao Zhu asked.
"Tell me, what happened to that traitor!"
