I am the king of the dead

"Extract the prisoner's card!"

The criminal's plaque of the Ming Dynasty is a wooden plaque stuck around their necks. Folks often call it a "death plaque", on which the cause of the crime is written, and Song Zhang's wooden plaque naturally has his name written on it.

Before Song Zhang could react, he only felt a pain in his neck. The bone prying knife was inserted into his neck, and with a click, his whole body became unconscious, and the severe pain came suddenly.

Before he could yell out, he heard a bang, and he felt dizzy. He wanted to cry out in pain, but he couldn't make a sound no matter what.

At his last time, he saw the feet of the people.

Song Zhang and more than a dozen criminals were finally escorted back to Jianning Mansion again after a year-long investigation and punishment.

Chen Mao stood up and let out a foul breath. He was still waiting for the people who robbed the execution ground, but after waiting, Song Zhang's head had already landed, and there was still no one who robbed the execution ground.

"Counsel!" Chen Mao flicked his sleeves and left the prison platform. Behind him were the cheers of countless people.

Song Zhang, the chief secretary who had plagued Fujian for several years, finally died under their noses.

Most people just spit a mouthful of old phlegm before leaving.

After Chen Mao finished his sentence, he immediately summoned many generals.

Baoding Bo Liangyao, Pingjiang Bo Chen Yu, Governor Fan Xiong, and Dong Xing came to the gate of Jianyang Mansion, and also Wang Yin, the eunuch of Bingbi who suppressed the criminals and returned to Jianning, came out, together with Yushi Zhang Hai and Ding Xuan , gathered together.

"In the direction of Wenzhou Prefecture, Baoding Boliang Ping, you take [-] Beijing troops, [-] guards, and [-] voluntary regiments to Funing County. Beware of returning home regiments entering Funing."

"In the direction of Fuzhou Prefecture, Uncle Pingjiang and Chen Yu, you take [-] Beijing troops, [-] guards, and [-] volunteers to practice, go to Jianyang, and go to Wuyi Mountain for defense."

"This place is the key point of the traffic pass, and there is no room for loss. If you see a group of returnees gathering for training, you will use firecrackers to disperse them. If you don't listen to the warning, you will kill them all."

"Captain Fan Xiong, take [-] Beijing troops, [-] guards, and [-] volunteer regiments to Zhangzhou Prefecture. This is where the southeast gate is located, and there is also Yuegang. It is extremely important. Be extremely careful. The enemy invaders come from the sea. "

Chen Mao flicked on the map, and said with certainty: "The gentry who escaped will never be willing. Since they dare to save Song Zhang, they dare to take the local ruffians and bandits back to their hometown with open fire!"

"My lords, since I came to Fujian, people have been devastated everywhere, and the people are in dire straits. Until today, I have the strength to catch my breath!"

"Your Majesty will never allow this group of people to escape from the troubled gentry and return to Fujian to act as a domineering power!"

"Kill them all!"

A commanding officer quickly ran in and shouted loudly: "Report!"

Chen Mao nodded and said, "Speak."

The officer in charge shouted loudly: "Come here quickly, report to Li Binyan, the censor of Youqian capital, at the end of the year, the imperial court will discuss impeachment, and the emperor ordered Tiqi to go to Nanjing to supervise the consort of the captain, Ma Yin, the chief minister of Nanjing Taipusi. Zhao Hui, taking money and breaking the law, committing murders!"

As soon as this remark came out, the entire middle account was full of discussions, and Chen Mao was stunned, ah, this...

The retribution came so fast that Chen Mao was a little sluggish.

This group of censors, who have not done anything for more than ten years, suddenly did something good?

Impeaching His Majesty's aunt and grandpa is too bold.

Dong Xing said in a low voice: "Should we also tell Tiqi about the rescue of Song Zhang? It happens that Tiqi is in charge, and it doesn't matter whether the crime is finally punished or not. This evil fire must be released first."

"It also saves their villains from filing a complaint first, calling the black as white, and calling a deer a horse."

The [-] Beijing camp traveled long distances to Fujian to suppress the rebellion, pressed down the gourd and floated the ladle, and finally came to Fujian according to His Majesty's will, so that they finally stabilized the local people's livelihood.

If Song Zhang was really rescued, or if Chen Mao didn't withstand the pressure of these foreign relatives and censors and made Song Zhang Li Daitao stiff, Fujian would be in chaos right away.

His Majesty has issued a decree to behead him, but there are still people who dare to save him.

"Well, turn around and send a group of people to Nanjing, and order them to be supervised by Tiqi." Chen Mao nodded, Dong Xing was right, and they really couldn't let their villains file a complaint first.

His Majesty moved quickly, so they would not be embarrassed.

Chen Mao's feeling that the sun was rising again became more and more obvious.

Your Majesty has ways and ideas, and has the legacy of Taizu Taizong.

Chen Mao's military report was sent back to the capital at the post station on the official road. After all, beheading Song Zhang and others was not a trivial matter, and it was worth writing a memorial to the capital.

Wang Yin was imprisoned throughout the sentence, and some nasty things that happened were also written in the memorial, and reported to heaven.

The ambassador of the Ministry of Punishments also entered Beijing with memorials. The criminals were punished, and the death penalty was repeated three times.

Zhu Qiyu carefully checked the seals and ribbons of Chen Mao's memorial. This is a new set of seals and ribbons that Li Yongchang specially changed for Chen Mao when he went to Fujian for the first time.

He got three memorials and was full of emotions. Li Binyan, as a water monkey, hung a huge object on his fishhook.

"Bold, very big!"

"audacious in the extreme!"

Chapter 233 The Fate

Zhu Qiyu never expected that Zhao Hui would be so bold and reckless that he would rescue the perpetrator of the iron case he had already completed.

Are these relatives already so crazy?

In fact, Zhu Qiyu hasn't seen this group of foreign relatives at their most rampant, just saving someone, what's the big deal?

In the original historical line, after the restoration of Zhu Mingmen, Sun Zhong's son Sun Jizong was named Marquis, the son-in-law's captain Zhao Hui was named Marquis, and Zhu Jianshen's biological mother Zhou's family was sealed several times to prepare for the waste of money.

And Sun Jizong even broke the tradition of "food and salary not doing things" established since the Yongle period. In the first year of Tianshun, he began to take charge of the five army battalions and manage the affairs of the military governor's office.

How is Sun Jizong doing?

His four younger brothers, Sun Xianzong, Sun Shaozong, Sun Xuzong, and Sun Chunzong, were all promoted to command Tongzhi and command affairs in Jinyiwei.

Sun Chunzong, a child less than ten years old, was also in command, probably because he was not worthy of virtue, and died early.

After Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne, Sun Jizong was the head of the courtiers all the year round, and he was truly powerful.

Even Zhu Jianshen, who set up the West Factory and built the [-]th Regiment Battalion, was quite afraid of him as Uncle Yuan.

Zhu Qiyu handed Chen Mao's memorandum to Lu Zhong who was waiting, and said: "Go and find out the contents of this letter, and let's be guilty together."

Lu Zhong took the memorial and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, Shandong has already pleaded guilty according to the case of the procurator, and he has made some things clear."

"It's all here."

Lu Zhong took out several thick case files. He felt that there was no need for him to use all kinds of punishments for interrogation. He arrested people, interrogated them for a few days, and sent them to the Imperial Hospital for a round, leaving everything behind.

Abi Hell is just to frighten people. It is really a report of the present world, and it is also seen in the Tai Hospital.

Zhu Qiyu nodded, picked up the file on the table, and said, "Put it down."

Lu Zhong put the file on the table and sighed. He knew that once this file came out, it would be equivalent to a major earthquake in Shandong official circles.

But after his interrogation was clear, he naturally wanted to present the case to His Majesty.

Zhu Qiyu opened the case book, flipped through two pages, and sighed dejectedly.

Collusion between government and businessmen, mutual protection between officials and officials, corruption and perversion of the law, lack of discipline, peers and other crimes are simply too numerous to list!

Zhu Qiyu put down the case file, he had to find someone to go to Shandong, and punched him hard.

There is a criminal fact in this, that is, Shandong officials deceived the upper and lower and established a private market for shipping in Mizhou City.

Daming had seven shipping divisions, namely Ningbo, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Jiaozhi, Hue, and Xinping. Among them, Hue and Xinping were located in Yunnan and other places, mainly in charge of Xuanweisi trade.

Mizhou Shipping Department was once established in the Northern Song Dynasty, but what did these Shandong officials do?

A new Shi Ship Department was secretly set up again, specializing in unsuitable cargo ships from North Korea, Japan and other places, and hundreds of ships can be imported day and night.

What is Kanhe?

It is the ship certificate issued by the imperial court. After the ship enters the port, the relevant officials of the Municipal Shipping Department will check the authenticity of the ship, check it with the copy and record file left by the Ministry of Rites, and then inspect the goods for tax collection.

However, the Shibo Department established privately in Mizhou, Shandong, is completely inferior to the imperial court. They have been engaged in maritime trade for ten years.

The new chief envoy, inspector envoy, and capital commander envoy were all well fed, because the Mizhou Shipping Department reserved enough for three.

All kinds of censors pass by, and everyone will give a portion. If they are not full or don’t eat at all, the censor’s memorials will not go to Wenyuan Pavilion in the Xiantai Yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the capital.

There is a special economic comprador, who is in charge of contacting in the middle, giving enough to the passing censor, and giving enough to the general constitution of Beijing, how could something happen?

According to Zhao Jin's attitude of cooperating and pleading guilty to obey the law, it is completely to cover up this heinous crime!

Both Zhu Qiyu and Lu Zhong felt that there was something wrong with Zhao Jin before, and they always felt that he hadn't explained something cleanly, and that he pleaded guilty too quickly, as if he only wanted to die quickly.

But Zhu Qiyu never expected that there was such a big case behind it.

"Your Majesty, Lu Zicai and Xin Kejing have come to the Supreme Hospital." Xing'an bowed his head and said, "Zhu Yu has been in the Supreme Hospital for more than a month, and he finally came out."

Zhu Qiyu stood up and said, "Xuan."

Regarding the child Zhu Yu, everyone in the Tai'an Palace didn't have much opinion. Tang Yunyan wanted to raise it under her knees, but Wang Meilin looked at Tang Yunyan, who was jumping away and looked restless, and finally decided to put it under her knees. .

There are wet nurses in Tai'an Palace who are responsible for feeding the children in the palace. Zhu Yu entered Tai'an Palace, but he couldn't go hungry.

The child's eyes were very big, and they turned around drippingly, looking around the Tai'an Palace up and down, when he saw Zhu Qiyu, he suddenly opened his mouth and began to cry loudly.

Zhu Yu wasn't afraid of Lu Zicai's evil spirit at all. How could Zhu Qiyu's kindness scare this child?

The child was quickly taken away by the nanny, presumably because he was hungry, but Lu Zi said that Zhu Yu was a good eater.

It is a blessing to be able to eat.

Zhu Qiyu solemnly took two miraculous merit cards, hung them on Lu Zicai and Xin Kejing, and said very confidently: "We must carry forward this Qisheng sect."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Lu Zicai and Xin Kejing knelt down on the ground, and two golden cards of extraordinary achievements were hung on their chests.

There are a total of 24 Kuai Qi Gong cards inside and outside the Ming Dynasty, except for the battle of the capital, a total of four cards were released.

This is definitely a rare honor in the world in Daming, as long as it is kept at home, it will be replaced by gods and ghosts!

"Oh, by the way, is Xining finished cutting?" Zhu Qiyu asked another thing, this Xining's vitality is tenacious, beyond Zhu Qiyu's imagination.

Lu Zicai said in a daze, "I just died yesterday, Your Majesty, there are not many spies in the hospital."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Oh, it's cheaper for him. It's just that the doctors in the Tai Hospital have worked hard. It's just that there are fewer and fewer spies. These days, spies are getting harder and harder to catch."

"You think it's too little, but I still think it's too little."

Lu Zicai thought about it seriously and said: "Then minister, save some time, there is still a small field, which can be used for a long time."

Zhu Qiyu chatted with Lu Zicai and Xin Kejing a lot about Tai Hospital, how does Zhu Qiyu understand technology?

Just leave professional things to professional people.

Lu Zhong took the copy of Chen Mao's memorandum and brought Zhao Hui, the son-in-law captain, to interrogation again.

Zhao Hui led dozens of people from Nanjing to the capital to participate in the battle of the capital after the civil war in Tumubao.

Zhao Hui's walking speed was neither fast nor slow. It was just right. It was a coincidence that Zhao Hui entered Jingqin Wang when the Oirats were leaving the Bauhinia Pass.

For this reason, Zhao Hui wanted to ask His Majesty for a title, but Zhu Qiyu was too busy at that time, so he ignored him.

Since then, Zhao Hui has lived in the capital.

But during the interrogation, it was not so easy at all.

By this time, Zhao Hui had been arrested and taken to Beizhen Fusi, but he was still His Majesty's aunt and grandpa, the elder of His Majesty's three generations, in Beizhen Fusi. Stance.

Moreover, such foreign relatives are not easy to be punished.

Zhao Hui kept picking his teeth with Mr. Cao's utensils for picking his teeth. When he saw Lu Zhong, he didn't even raise his head and said, "Tonight's mutton is not tender. Prepare more lamb wine tomorrow. I will be in prison today." , the mouth has faded out like a bird."

Lu Zhong sighed.

He wasn't afraid of this aunt and old lady, but someone in Jinyiwei was so afraid that they even served mutton.

There is no other way, they are relatives of the emperor!

Jin Yiwei didn't think of handling cases impartially before, but during the orthodox years, he did it several times and was reprimanded. Who would dare to do it in the end?

Although His Majesty issued an order to investigate and deal with it, but who knows, will the old lady Huang Aunt be released tomorrow because of the friendship of her relatives?

Lu Zhong threw the copy of Chen Mao's memorial to Zhao Hui and said, "Did you do this?"

Zhao Hui picked it up and looked at it for a long time, then sat up straight and said, "Hey! This Chen Mao, when he was in southern Fujian last time, he passed through Nanjing, and I didn't even drink if I invited him to drink."

"Don't talk nonsense with me, let me meet His Majesty, what a big deal, what a big deal, can you still have this relative close?"

"A group of foreign ministers are talking nonsense, His Majesty is just pretending."

Why is Zhao Hui not afraid at all?

Because since the death of Emperor Yongle, he has always been so corrupt and perverted the law. After all these years, he has long been used to it.

When the courtiers complained, the emperor issued an order to arrest him, and then release him after the limelight passed. At most, he would be fined some money.

For example, in the third year of Zhengtong, Zhao Hui's nephew, Zhao Ding, killed more than ten civilians. Zhao Ding is still well, so Zhao Hui was fined and returned [-] mu of land.
