MTL - My Brother-in-law is the Prince-Chapter 319 eye for eye
Chapter 319 Blood Debt
Zhu Di can be said to be very upset.
He didn't even know what kind of mood he was in right now.
It's just a lot of past events that come to mind.
Since he met Yao Guangxiao, he has maintained a very close relationship with Yao Guangxiao for more than ten years.
He used to be a prince, and now he is the emperor. He is a noble man, so precious that no one can guess his heart.
The desire in his heart cannot be freely shared with others.
There is only Yao Guangxiao, but he can talk all night long. In the most difficult time, even Zhu Di lost confidence in his own future and future. But Yao Guangxiao has been giving him encouragement and support.
"Your Highness can succeed, His Highness will allow you to use words and martial arts, even if it is far inferior to the imperial court, as long as your Highness perseveres, you will surely succeed."
In a sense, Yao Guangxiao is not as simple as just making suggestions. Even in the most difficult years, Yao Guangxiao can even be Zhu Di's spiritual mentor.
But when Jing Nan succeeded, Zhu Di originally thought that this person who hoped to rely on him to succeed in success did not ask for any high-ranking officials and generous salaries.
Even if Zhu Di repeatedly rewarded him, he insisted on not accepting it, and even expressed his desire to retire to the mountains and forests again and again.
Perhaps for many people, Yao Guangxiao is just learning from Fan Li and protecting himself with wisdom.
It's just...but only Zhu Di knows him.
Zhu Di is not the kind of person who cannot share wealth and honor. This point... can be clearly proved from the treatment of other Jingnan heroes.
As long as Yao Guangxiao is willing, he can get a duke, marry many wives and concubines, rank in the temple, enter Wenyuan Pavilion, and become a prime minister.
Yao Guangxiao knows better than everyone in the world what kind of person Zhu Di is, so why does he need to play the so-called trick of hiding from the world to avoid disaster?
This monk who has made Zhu Di and many heroes of Jingnan, in the incomprehension of everyone, only accepted a small position as a monk record secretary, and still eats his fast and recites his Buddha.
Fame and wealth, as if it has nothing to do with him, he just be himself.
In a sense, Yao Guangxiao is a part of Zhu Di's life.
He can tell this monk the dirtiest thoughts in his heart as he pleases.
You can also show your preferences without any scruples that you don't usually say to others.
And this monk just listened and offered his suggestion with a smile.
But Yao Guangxiao... is dead.
Zhu Di once thought that if this monk passed away, he must be deeply saddened.
But now, Zhu Di has no grief in his heart, because...Yao Guangxiao died in such a way.
He didn't get anything from me, but now he was starved to death and beaten to death.
It's in my world, under my nose, under the hands of the officials I support.
Zhu Di was like a fire at this time.
This fire is getting stronger and stronger!
He didn't look at the censor who had long died on the ground. Zhu Di didn't care whether this person was good or bad, loyal or treacherous, loyal to his duties, or whether he was a vegetarian.
He doesn't care.
At this time, he hoarsely voiced an order.
No one dares to stop and oppose.
All people, under the command, perform their duties.
At this moment, Zhang Anshi, who had been standing there in a daze, finally moved.
He was about to run out of the temple as soon as he slipped away.
Zhu Di asked suddenly: "Where are you going?"
Zhang Anshi just stopped, and said: "Your Majesty, I'm going to gather people..."
Zhu Di frowned and said: "Just order someone to go, and you will accompany you."
Zhang Anshi's face changed, but he hurriedly said in fear and trepidation: "Yes, I obey the order."
Zhang Anshi followed Zhu Di, walking forward silently, with his head buried, as quiet as a quail.
Zhang Anshi was probably also sad, but in fact he was more shocked.
Because he couldn't understand what Yao Guangxiao was doing.
With Yao Guangxiao's IQ, he must have a hundred ways to kill the opponent.
But in the end, Yao Guangxiao... was killed by someone.
This is not in line with Monk Yao's style, if Monk Yao died in Ningguo Mansion, if he died in Taiping Mansion...
Zhang Anshi absolutely doubts that this guy must be trying to blackmail him.
But now... After Zhang Anshi was shocked, he didn't have time to review Yao Guangxiao's real purpose, and immediately began to feel sad.
This monk is not bad except for being greedy for money.
Wicked is a little bit wicked, and sometimes I always feel that he is so wicked that he smokes.
But at any rate... This guy has a bottom line, sometimes he doesn't get money from him, and this guy will never get annoyed, or even wait for an opportunity to retaliate.
So this guy is probably a good monk in his mind.
As for the person who killed Monk Yao...
Thinking of this, Zhang Anshi couldn't help but feel an unnamed karmic fire in his heart.
This monk, he cursed in his heart, but if someone killed Monk Yao, he would definitely use all means to send those who killed Monk Yao to reunite with Monk Yao.
Zhang Anshi himself didn't realize that his eyes were a little red and his face was a little hot. He tried hard to comfort himself.
This monk is so old, he should almost die. People have birth, old age, sickness and death, joys and sorrows, and the moon has its waxing and waning. The living still need to live well and look forward.
But in the end, he still couldn't hold back.
Zhu Di's tiger eyes only glanced at Zhang Anshi slightly, and said lightly, "Why are you crying?"
"I didn't cry." Zhang Anshi said.
Zhu Di said: "What about the horse, why hasn't my horse come yet?"
Everyone in the palace, like ants in a hot pot, is still running around.
Right at this moment... the **** of the General Secretary came running like the wind.
The **** bowed down and said out of breath, "Your Majesty... Jiming Temple... has a performance."
Zhu Di frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
The **** said: "Jiming Temple, a young novice who served Yao Gong... said, said... When Yao Gong was leaving, he said that when the time came, he gave some things... to His Majesty."
The time has come.
Zhu Di was shocked.
He stared at the **** and said, "Where are the things?"
"It's a key, that novice, with the key, he opened a box under Mr. Yao's couch...this box...in the box..."
"What is it?" Zhu Di raised his voice unconsciously.
"There is a letter... and... and..." the **** kowtowed, and said, "there are... some deposit notes that Mr. Yao deposited in the bank... people from Jiming Temple... counted, it is two hundred and forty-seven Ten thousand taels, in addition to that, there is interest of 137,000 taels... say yes... say yes... when the time is up, send it to His Majesty, and His Majesty will know... know what it means..."
After Zhu Di listened, the angry tiger eyes, the tears that had been suppressed all the time, suddenly fell down like a rain curtain.
At this moment, like a child, he wiped his eyes and said, "I don't want his money."
The voice was hoarse and tired, and he waved his hand to wipe it, and the long sleeves were soaked through.
Zhu Di said: "Does he think I care about this money? He has been smart all his life, but at this moment... he is so confused... a confused monk."
Zhang Anshi was beside him, seeing that Zhu Di was about to collapse, he immediately asked, "Where's the letter?"
"Letter... the letter has been brought by the maidservant." The **** raised a letter and sent it to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di took the letter tremblingly, then took out the letterhead, and looked down.
Zhang Anshi was very sad in his heart, but out of Jin Yiwei's instinct, he tiptoed subconsciously and glanced at the letter.
This letter is actually very simple.
It’s just a few words.
"The fate of the world is over, and the broken body is useless. Your majesty is very human, and he will become a great weapon. I will have no regrets in this life if I can make friends with your majesty. I have some belongings. I hope your majesty will not mind it. Take it to repair it." Whether it is the Beiping Palace or helping the people, His Majesty will take it for himself. Besides, although spring has begun, the weather inside and outside the capital is different from previous years, the weather is cold and the dew is heavy, I hope you will take care of it!"
All of a sudden, the letter paper was wet with tears.
After Zhu Di roared, he carefully put the letter away.
Zhang Anshi immediately looked back, sighed, it turns out...in this world...there are parents who will return your lucky money after taking it.
Zhu Di closed his eyes, and opened them tremblingly for a long time.
At this time, his eyes were shining, and he said: "Let's go, let's go."
Zhang Anshi felt very uncomfortable at this time, as if he was pressing down on a big rock, but he still hurriedly said: "Observe the order."
………
The government office is already in chaos.
Many people have gone into hiding.
Jian Yi was seriously ill, and his fellow acquaintance, Fan Yi, presided over the overall situation. He held meetings again and again, hoping that the officials above and below could be united before the storm came.
But every time, he and Huang Huan found that the number of people attending the meeting was getting less and less.
This is actually understandable. Some people are terrified and hide at home, not daring to come out.
There are also some people who want to clean up their belongings and prepare to flee.
But Fan Yi just wanted to laugh, wry smile...
At this point, run? Where can I go?
The ends of the earth, is there a place to stay?
At this time, if you don't try your best to deal with it, and don't speak out in unison, you will simply kill yourself.
But... if someone runs away, it may not be bad.
Fan Yi calmly looked at the crowd.
Everyone looked worried.
Fan Yi held the teacup and sipped it pretending to be calm.
At this time, he must be calm, if even he can't hold back, then the others will really scatter like birds and beasts.
Fan Yi immediately raised his eyes, looked at the anxious crowd, and said suddenly: "Why didn't Magistrate Wu come? His county office is just around the corner. Others can still say that the journey is long and there are delays on the way. What should Magistrate Wu say?" ?”
Everyone looked at each other, but Zhou Xiang, the magistrate of Xuancheng County, stood up and said, "Fan Tongzhi, I haven't seen him since early this morning, no... I haven't seen him since noon yesterday."
Everyone started whispering.
Fan Yi hit the case.
Snapped…
Everyone is in awe.
Fan Yi stood up, he stood up, and said angrily; "Okay, are you hiding? Heh... you won't be like some people, pack up your clothes and run away?"
"It's just...other officers and officials can flee. Where can he run away as the magistrate of Xuancheng County? Can he run away like a monk or a temple?"
When the word monk was mentioned, everyone's heart skipped a beat.
Now what everyone is most afraid of hearing is the word monk.
Fan Yi then smiled slightly and said, "It's fine if he runs away."
Fan Yi put his hands behind his back, took a few steps, and continued: "It's because he was unkind first, so no wonder we are unrighteous!"
"My lords... when the time comes... this case will be investigated, and Monk Yao really died in our Ningguo Mansion, then... everyone will say that it was Wu Zhizhan, the county magistrate of Xuancheng, who killed everything. Push it on his head, he ran away anyway."
When everyone heard it, it seemed as if a switch had been turned on suddenly, so they cheered up and began to ponder one by one.
Fan Yi looked at Zhou Xiang, the magistrate of Xuancheng County, and said, "Major Zhou, he is your superior. Can this matter...can you do it? Check if his official seal is there, prepare some official documents, and...check him Can the usual whereabouts be accomplished?"
Zhou Xiang stood up in full view, thought for a while and said, "It's not impossible. But... I'm afraid..."
"Don't worry." Fan Yi smiled and said, "Things are not so bad. Monk Yao's death here certainly made Long Yan furious, but the person who pursued Monk Yao was Jin Chun, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Mr. Jian's disciples and old officials are not distinguished from each other. As long as someone like Wu Zhizhan is used to take the blame, even if there are any loopholes, Jin Butang will turn a blind eye. This is very easy. His Majesty was furious and wiped out the entire Zhan clan of Wuzhi, and the matter is over."
"Yes, yes, that's how it should be."
"Yes, who taught him to run."
Everyone rushed to the doctor in a hurry, but whenever there was a possibility, they all nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
"I'm afraid that someone will come to investigate thoroughly, our matter..." The thoughtful person began to worry again.
"Huh, who dares to find out about Mr. Jian, do they have the guts? What's more, Mr. Jian is related to the survival of famous teachers, who dares to risk such a big deal and die?"
Wu Huan on the side stood up, looking determined to win, and said: "So, as long as everyone agrees, this matter... will come to an end without a problem. Even if you really want to investigate thoroughly, then let it go and investigate thoroughly, and let people come to ask me Wait, ask people to ask the people in various places. Since Mr. Jian took office, who doesn't know that Mr. Jian has made outstanding achievements? Look, which county school in each county is not decent? Isn't the burden on the common people lightened a lot? ? Feel your conscience and say, do the people you rule all say that Mr. Jian is a wise man?"
Everyone pondered for a moment, then nodded.
One of them stood up, but it was Liu Wenxin, the county magistrate who made a mistake. He was trembling, but he said sincerely: "A few days ago, the officials met with all the sages in the village, and the sages all praised Duke Jian, saying that Duke Jian bowed down and ruled." Since he took office, all the counties in the mansion have not picked up lost things on the road, closed their doors at night, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Many people still feel sorry, saying that Mr. Jian is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. When he leaves office, he will send Wanmin Umbrella to whatever he says, and teach people in the world that when Mr. Jian was in Ningguo Mansion, he protected the common people on our side like a giant umbrella. He is a good man who loves the people like his own son. official."
Everyone nodded solemnly, talking about Mr. Jian's benevolent government, that was too much.
There is no one around me who does not praise.
So someone couldn't help but sighed: "If it wasn't for Monk Yao, I'm afraid...this Duke...even if Bao Zheng is alive, it's nothing more than that."
Thinking that they still have Jian Yi's backing, everyone settled down.
Taking advantage of everyone's recovery, Fan Yi said, "Anyway, as long as I can cover up the matter of Mr. Yao, I will be considered a great achievement by waiting in front of Mr. Jian. Lords, don't expose it because of us." It's a horse's foot, and it ruins Duke Jian's official reputation."
"What's more, this matter is related to the famous teaching. The disciples of the sages should defend the famous teaching. You must cheer up and get ready to deal with the court."
Everyone clasped their hands in agreement.
Huang Huan smiled beside him and said, "Is Lieutenant Liu of Nanling County here?"
One stood up from the corner, his face blushing. He was ecstatic when he heard that the last dirty water had been splashed on the magistrate of Xuancheng. In this way, he was relieved.
After all, he was the one who escorted Mr. Yao to Fucheng, so he could hardly absolve himself of the blame.
At this time, he hurriedly said: "Yes."
I saw Fan Yi said: "Tomorrow at dawn, they will all be burned. You have to take care of this matter. Don't burn it improperly. You have to be careful about the timing. You can't do it after dawn, otherwise, it's always inappropriate to watch. If it is not good at midnight, if it does not burn early or late, it will appear to be deliberate if it burns at midnight. Only at dawn, when everyone sleeps the most, a fire will be set on fire! At that time, it was said that... there was a responsible officer who was carrying a lantern, but because he was on night duty and was really tired, he was negligent, and this caused the fire."
Lieutenant Liu nodded and said, "I understand."
Fan Yi was still not at ease, and added: "This officer... also needs to be ready... and together..."
He took a deep look at Nanling County Captain Liu: "Be clean and neat, and don't leave traces."
Liu Xianwei said: "Yes."
Lieutenant Liu County responded, he knew in his heart that he was the only one to fill the hole.
Now, leave immediately and get ready.
I waited all night in anxiety.
Lieutenant Liu stayed up all night.
It's not that he doesn't know that he should sleep, keep his energy, and do it at dawn the next day.
But no matter what, he couldn't sleep.
So he simply got up and paced back and forth restlessly.
Just like that, he stayed up until the third watch. Seeing that it was almost time, he cheered up, and immediately began to order a team of guards to set off.
These guards were the ones who escorted people and medical households together, and they were the most trustworthy.
After all, everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope. Once the incident is leaked, everyone will die without a place to bury them.
Not long after, everyone appeared on the long street.
He hurriedly came to the warehouse behind the photo mill, where the medical households were still detained, and the security was also strengthened.
Those guarding here are the guards of Zhaomosuo.
When they saw Lieutenant Liu and others coming, they seemed to know it. Someone yelled: "It's almost, it's early in the morning, I'm hungry, let's go, find an early riser stall, brothers, go drink tea, eat Something to fill your belly."
It didn't take long for these people to leave.
The vast majority of people in the warehouse are still fast asleep.
Liu Duwei had no expression on his face, only a grim smile. His eyes, which had not slept all night, were bloodshot and red. In this dark night, his face looked gloomy and terrifying.
He opened his mouth, and then said slowly: "Do it."
Someone slowly...carrying kerosene, began to move in these warehouses.
They were very skillful and did not make a sound.
It's just the pungent smell of kerosene. After all, the people inside smelled the smell and woke up one by one, so they whispered.
They obviously didn't think about what was about to happen, they just muttered something, and then fell silent again.
At this time, someone hurried to Lieutenant Liu and whispered, "It's almost there."
Lieutenant Liu took a look at him: "Go and set the fire."
"This..." The officer was a little nervous, hesitantly said: "Little, little..."
"Why, don't you dare?" Lieutenant Liu said disdainfully, "You dared to beat that monk when you were in custody, why don't you dare now?"
The guard is still hesitating.
Liu Xianwei was furious: "Don't be ignorant of flattery!"
The guard was startled, and subconsciously said: "Yes, yes. Small... small..."
Before coming here, everyone was blind and did not dare to light torches, for fear of being too ostentatious and being seen.
Now, trembling, he lit the flint.
It's just that his hands are shaking.
"You cowardly thing." Seeing that he was always unable to strike flint, Liu Duwei, who was pinching a candle and waiting for him to ignite the fire, scolded: "What's the use of having a rich life like you?"
Snapped…
Flint lit up.
Then, the candle is also lit.
In the light of the fire, Lieutenant Liu's face was serious, and he handed the candle to the guard: "Go."
At this moment...there is finally a fire here.
The people who were originally in the dark couldn't help blinking, and Liu Xianwei finished his explanation.
He tried to open his eyes, and then… he wiped them sharply.
"Liu Duwei, where to start..."
"Liu Duwei..."
Liu Duwei did not respond.
The officer was in a hurry, and turned around, but saw Liu Duwei standing in horror, motionless, staring at one direction.
The guard hurriedly looked in Liu Duwei's direction.
But I saw...thick and dense...I don't know when, this place is full of people.
The gleaming iron spear, under the cold candlelight, exudes a faint light.
The people who stabbed the iron spears obliquely, their bodies remained motionless, like terracotta warriors.
At this time, a person stood up slowly with his hands behind his back, and then walked forward slowly, to the front of County Captain Liu.
In front of the guards, he slapped Lieutenant Liu, and said, "What are you doing?"
Snapped…
This slap is very crisp.
Simply neat.
But violently, Liu Xianwei was woken up.
Lieutenant Liu covered his mouth, ignoring the pain, opened his eyes wide and looked at the person in front of him, subconsciously said: "You... who are you?"
The person who came came said slowly: "Duke Wei, Commander of Jin Yiwei, Tongzhi, Governor of Taiping Prefecture...Zhang Anshi!"
As soon as this remark came out.
Lieutenant Liu was so frightened that his legs went limp. With a click, he knelt down on the ground, shaking his lips and said, "You...why are you here?"
"I just came here to see how you set fire. I heard that you are very professional in murder and arson!" Zhang Anshi had sarcasm in his eyes, and his complexion was more serious than that of Lieutenant Liu.
...
The third chapter is delivered.
