Family ancestor Zhu Chongba: What happened to getting your daughter pregnant?

Minghe Hall.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

After Kang Haoming entered the palace, he bowed respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"So His Highness Taisun is here too? I've met His Highness."

Immediately afterwards, Kang Haoming turned his head and glanced at Zhu Yunxi who was accompanying Zhu Yuanzhang, smiled, and also bowed.

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand gently and said hello without saying anything more. He didn't even look at Kang Haoming and continued to eat with his head down, seemingly not interested in what was happening in front of him.

"What's up?"

Zhu Yuanzhang put down his chopsticks, looked at Kang Haoming, who came to the palace early in the morning, and asked doubtfully.

"Reporting to your majesty, Wei Chen interrogated Geng Xuan last night. Unexpectedly, he not only claimed that he was not familiar with that friend, but also publicly denied the confession he had given before. Instead, he claimed that his friend acted first. hand."

"And he argued that the deceased hit the murder weapon on his own initiative and that the murder was purely accidental!"

Kang Haoming cupped his hands and replied respectfully.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Then what do you think?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked. When Kang Haoming mentioned the case, he suddenly lost all appetite and stood up and walked around silently.

"According to Geng Xuan's claim, he was unconscious due to drunkenness and confessed in a confused manner. He only recovered his memory after he sobered up. However, Wei Chen inferred that his sudden retraction may have other motives."

"Or maybe he noticed something and that's why he eliminated all the blame."

"It's a matter of great importance. I don't dare to make a decision easily. Considering that I have a special status and I can't be punished easily, I came here to seek advice from Your Majesty."

Kang Haoming cupped his hands and said seriously.

After hearing Kang Haoming's words, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, fell into deep thought, and looked troubled.

Originally, he had no intention of severely punishing Geng Xuan because of Geng Bingwen, but now that the case has involved remnants of those who rebelled against the party, things have become complicated.

Until there is no conclusive evidence proving that Geng Xuan is indeed secretly colluding with the rebels, it is really not good to make the matter too serious, otherwise Geng Bingwen will definitely get entangled.

"Kang Shangshu's doing this is tantamount to putting Grandpa Huang on the fire."

At this moment, Zhu Yunxi, who was eating silently, suddenly spoke.

"How do you say this, Your Highness?"

Kang Haoming was stunned for a moment and asked a little unconvinced.

"Since this case has been handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for trial, it is up to you, the Minister of Punishment, to draw conclusions about what is right and wrong. But because you were worried about offending Marquis Changxing, you pushed the matter to the Emperor. This is not to frame the Emperor for injustice. ?"

"Everyone knows that Marquis Changxing is my hero for the founding of the Ming Dynasty. No matter whether the punishment is light or heavy, there will always be people making irresponsible remarks. As a minister, I don't share the concerns of the emperor and let things go smoothly, but now he suddenly kicks the ball?"

"Kang Shangshu's plan is so loud! Good people have let you do it!"

Zhu Yunxi curled his lips, said something coldly, and took a sip of porridge with relish.

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of doing this!"

After listening to Zhu Yunxi's words, Kang Haoming's expression changed obviously. He bowed nervously to Zhu Yuanzhang and said aggrievedly.

The feeling of being seen through made Kang Haoming extremely embarrassed and dissatisfied.

Although he has always been known for his selflessness, that was in a borderland. Now in Kyoto, there are many people who are more powerful than him. If he acts like before, he may not have a foothold at all.

"Yunxi, Kang Shangshu is not the kind of person you said. You have misunderstood him."

"This matter is indeed of great importance. I have to weigh the pros and cons carefully."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand to comfort Kang Haoming, turned to look at Zhu Yunxi, and said seriously.

"Okay, then let's treat the grandson as a villain and judge the gentleman's heart."

"But Grandpa Huang, what happened to make you so embarrassed?"

Zhu Yunxi shrugged, put down his bowls and chopsticks, stood up and asked seriously.

"You tell me."

"It just so happens that Yunxi is here, let him also help come up with ideas."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand to signal Kang Haoming and said slowly.

So Kang Haoming told Zhu Yunxi all the circumstances of Geng Xuan's case one by one.

But what he didn't know was that not only did Zhu Yunxi already know everything, but he also knew more than he imagined!

"I didn't expect that such a big thing would happen. The son of Marquis Changxing would secretly befriend the remnants of the rebels?!"

"No wonder my grandson just felt that Grandpa Huang was worried. No wonder."

After listening to Kang Haoming's story, Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly and said with a hint of surprise.

"If it was just a matter of drunken manslaughter, I wouldn't take it so seriously, but now that I'm involved with the rebel party, I have to treat it with caution."

"Of course, if the son of Marquis Changxing does secretly collude with the rebel party, I will never forgive him lightly."

"Now that you know it now, tell me, what should you do next?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, looked at Zhu Yunxi seriously and asked.

"May I ask Minister Kang, how did you find out the whereabouts of Geng Xuan's friend?"

After Zhu Yunxi frowned and thought for a moment, he turned to look at Kang Haoming and asked lightly.

"Reporting to your highness, it was not Xianguan who found out, but Marquis Changxing himself. The person was arrested by Xiaguan and Xiao Huan, the commander of Jinwu Guards."

Kang Haoming looked hesitant, and after thinking for a moment, he said honestly.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, because the last time Kang Hao met the saint, he didn't say that Geng Bingwen found the person himself.

"In this case, the suspicion of colluding with the party has nothing to do with Marquis Changxing. He can't possibly harm himself, right?"

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

"Even so, the suspicion of Geng Xuan colluding with the rebel party cannot be ruled out. It can only prove that the Marquis of Changxing did not know about it."

Kang Haoming said seriously.

"That's right. So, I feel that Kang Shangshu doesn't understand the importance. Since colluding with the rebels is the key, I would like to ask Kang Shangshu if the traitor was strictly interrogated after he was caught?"

"Since Geng Xuan claims that he has no close friendship with that person, has Kang Shangshu confirmed this from that person?"

"Also, I have reason to suspect that the man who deliberately approached the son of Marquis Changxing had evil intentions and other agendas. Maybe he did this murder intentionally?"

"The purpose is to disrupt the government after framing Zhongliang!"

"Maybe there's a bigger conspiracy hidden behind it!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled, and then analyzed thoughtfully.

After listening to Zhu Yunxi's words, the expressions of Zhu Yuanzhang and Kang Haoming suddenly changed at the same time, and a trace of solemnity appeared between their brows.

If that is really the case, then Geng Xuan is a pawn being used! is innocent!

"This case is indeed full of doubts and very strange!"

"Kang Shangshu, I order you to continue to investigate this matter strictly. Don't wrongly accuse the son of Marquis Changxing, and don't protect him easily! You must find out all the details of the future!"

"If necessary, let... Jin Wuwei assist!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said in a deep voice.

When it came to the Jinwu Guard, he obviously hesitated. Between the Xiaoqi Wei and the Jinwu Guard, he chose the Jinwu Guard.

"According to the order!"

Kang Haoming immediately agreed respectfully, said goodbye, and hurriedly left the palace.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yunxi slowly left the Minghe Hall under Zhu Yuanzhang's pleased gaze.

...

Changxing Hou Mansion.

Geng Bingwen sat at the table, looking at the breakfast on the table without any appetite, still looking sad.

My son is still suffering in the prison, and his life or death is uncertain. He barely slept a wink last night.

After leaving the Punishment Department last night, he originally thought of arguing with Taisun in the Liang Palace, but when he thought that the only one who could save his son now was Taisun, he had no choice but to give up.

Over the years, many people have been executed for being involved in rebellion against the party. Not long ago, Xie Linzhou was an example. In order to preserve the Geng family, he could only wait and see what happened and never cause trouble again.

"Master, we have a visitor."

At this moment, housekeeper Liu Hai quickly came to the door to report.

"who?!"

Geng Bingwen looked up impatiently and asked in a deep voice.

"It's the man I met outside the house in the east of the city last night."

Liu Hai lowered his voice and answered slowly.

"Let him in!"

Geng Bingwen's eyes lit up and he waved hurriedly.

Not long after, a young man slowly walked in under the leadership of Liu Hai.

It was Deng Chuan.

"you again?!"

Geng Bingwen looked at Deng Chuan and said in a deep voice.

Although his only hope was placed on Zhu Yunxi, he still couldn't suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart when he saw Deng Chuan coming on behalf of Zhu Yunxi.

After all, if it weren't for Zhu Yunxi's guidance, he wouldn't have involved his son with the remnants of the traitor...
