"Don't tell me, it fits perfectly!"

In the bedroom, the old man wore the new shoes that Zhao Ning'er asked Jiang Wei to send, walked two steps in place, and nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing the relieved expression on the old man's face, Jiang Wei felt relieved. He had made the right bet on the treasure. But the people in the palace were relieved. The old man had been so murderous in the past two days that they seemed to be living on a cliff.

.If you are not careful, your body will be shattered into pieces.

"Look at the stitching, how thin and dense it is!" The old man pointed to the mediocre new shoes on his feet and said, "The fine Songjiang soft cloth, the soles of the shoes are sewn with cotton, they are light and warm to wear! That girl is attentive,

I’ve only met you once, and I already remember how big our feet are!”

Jiang Wei knelt on the ground and said in agreement, "Back to the emperor, Concubine Taisun also said that she specially made two pairs for fear that your feet would not fit."

However, Jiang Wei didn't hear the words he intended to praise Zhao Ning'er, so Jiang Wei raised his head slightly. He saw the old man looking at him with squinted eyes. His heart suddenly froze and he hurriedly leaned over again.

"Why are you going to Zhao's house?" the old man said coldly, "Is Zhao Sili involved in this matter?"

This is what Jiang Wei is most afraid of about the old man. These eagle dogs, the old man will know what they are doing when they stick their butts out. The eyes of an emperor who has fought hundreds of battles seem to be able to see through people's hearts, their hearts, livers and lungs.

"I... I heard that there were many family members of criminals who ran to Zhao's house to ask for help!" Jiang Wei said quickly, "I took people to clear the place. When I went, the door of Zhao's house was closed.

But the alley entrance is full of people!”

"Let me ask you, is Zhao Sili involved in this matter?" the old man asked again.

Jiang Wei hurriedly said, "No! Mr. Zhao is an honest official. According to the confessions of the prisoners detained by the Zhenfu Division, they usually carry Mr. Zhao's money for sharing profits! He didn't take any money that he shouldn't have taken!

"Um?"

The old man made a long and confused sound and stared at Jiang Wei for a long time.

"Ha!" Suddenly, the old man sneered, saying many things, "You are still careless when you are on an errand! You should know more about people and things!"

Jiang Wei's back was instantly wet with cold sweat, "I can only do my best for what the emperor has told me!"

"Where are the family members of the prisoners?" The old man sat down, took off his shoes, and asked as he looked.

"My lord, throw me away!"

With a bang, the shoe in the old man's hand flew directly into Jiang Wei's face.

"The more you live, the more you go back. I just said you could do errands, but it was in vain!" the old man said angrily, "All Yingtian Mansion officials and their families involved in this case will also be detained. The Jinyi Guards ransacked the house, tortured the slaves, and counted the property!"

As he said that, the old man snorted coldly, "If one person achieves enlightenment and ascends to heaven, if one person breaks the law, the whole family will share the same crime! Their family members are prosperous and rich by relying on the black-hearted money they made! They are the head of the family, and for the money, how many families have been ruined!

This is tit for tat, the most fair thing!"

Either don’t kill, or kill them all!

Jiang Wei knew in his heart that this was the emperor's way of doing things. In the emperor's heart, no one was innocent. If you do a sin, you must pay it back with ten points.

"I will take care of it now!" Jiang Wei said, "Please tell me how to deal with the foreign officials involved!"

The old man sat and thought for a moment, "Select reliable people and go out to the capital immediately to get our decree to arrest the people! Remember, we will arrest their family members as well!"

"Not only do we need to arrest these behind-the-scenes officials, but we also need to arrest the police officers and policemen who handled them, as well as their families! After we are captured in the capital, we will carefully inquire about the whereabouts of the people they arrested and accused over the years!"

"Compile the list of those common people and hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment. They will verify them one by one and supervise the new agency. Then, 30% of the property confiscated by the criminal officials will be distributed to the people who have been wronged!"

"I obey the order!" Jiang Wei kowtowed.

"Go down!" The old man waved his hand.

The palace was quiet again, and the old man was sitting upright, his face as deep as water.

He really hates these black-hearted people to the extreme and will attack them without mercy.

As for whether others would say he was cruel, he didn't care at all. As for others saying he killed innocent people indiscriminately, he wouldn't care even more?

innocent?

Are the people who were tortured unjust? Are they innocent? You have harmed their whole family, so I will kill your whole family!

Knocking cases, no matter who is involved, will be investigated and dealt with strictly.

It must be done so that officials will be afraid when they hear complaints from the common people, and it must be so strict that they will not stop them again!

Afterwards, the old man looked at the shoes on his feet and said to himself, "I wonder if my eldest grandson will be here at this time!"

~~

Hangzhou is the most prosperous and prosperous city in the world.

As the old saying goes, there is paradise above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Hangzhou has been an important source of wealth for the country in all dynasties. When Zhang Shicheng occupied this place, he had an army of millions within a few years. When Emperor Hongwu occupied this place, it became even more powerful.

This place not only gathers the wealth, business, and industry of Jiangnan. It also gathers the prosperity of Jiangnan. It is truly a blessed place on earth with outstanding people.

At noon, the city was bustling with activity, and there was an endless stream of people. It was a prosperous scene.

In the lively street, a small green sedan carried by two people passed through the crowd and turned at the corner of the street. It gradually left the noisy place just now and walked on the quiet street.

As they walked, a gap opened in the curtain of the sedan, revealing a square-headed face with a dignified appearance and a face in his fifties.

The attendant who was following the sedan quickly came over and said, "Sir, what are your orders?"

The man in the sedan said in a deep voice, "It's okay, it's stuffy inside, let's get some air!"

When Chang Sui heard this, he immediately opened the curtain completely with his hands and said to the bearer, "Be careful and don't bump the master!"

The speed of the sedan slowed down slightly, and the person inside continued, "Are you ready for the New Year gift for the prefect?"

"I found it!" The chief outside the sedan said with a smile, "The magistrate is from Chaozhou, Guangzhou. I specially sent people to the place to buy the specialties there. I have prepared them at home, waiting for you to deliver them to me!

"As he said that, he smiled and said, "Master, I don't have any knowledge. Those Chaozhou specialties are not worth much, why do you bother so much?"

"What do you know? This is called following one's own preferences!" The sedan chair man snorted, "In this world, giving gifts is about favors, and more importantly, people's hearts. Sending goose feathers thousands of miles away is a light gift but a heavy heart. The magistrate is from Chaozhou and left his hometown.

I am an official in Hangzhou and have not tasted the specialties of my hometown for many years. Giving him some taste of his hometown is not better than giving him gold and silver?"

"My master knows everything about me!" The chief attendant was outside and flattered him.

But the sedan bearer didn't feel any use, and instead sighed.

The man in his fifties in this sedan is none other than Sun Xiaozhong, the inspector of the Hangzhou Military and Horse Patrol.

The Sun family was a local leader in Hangzhou and had quite a fortune. But it was in his generation that he became truly prosperous. He studied hard as a young man and served in the army for several years. After returning to his hometown, he married Li, the daughter of the magistrate of Xiaoshan County, and was able to enter the army.

He joined the government. He successively served as a historian and inspector in Hangzhou. Especially the latter seventh-grade official position, which he had held for ten years.

He is the smooth prefect and the iron-clad inspector.

With his family connections and his ability to dance, no matter who becomes a Shangguan, he must be friends with him. And he is a low-key person, good at making friends without showing any trace, and is able to handle things. He is generous and generous, and can serve Shangguan well.

Touching the heart.

The Sun family became prosperous. He was an official and his relatives managed his business. Hangzhou was a prosperous place, and he was making money every day. He didn't need to be greedy for ill-gotten gains, let alone fight with others. His fellow officials, Shangguan, took advantage of his usefulness.

He can always get things done with care. Therefore, for more than ten years, he has been very popular and prestigious in the yamen, and there is nothing he can't do in Hangzhou.

But now, Sun Xiaozhong, who had always been proud of himself, had a gloomy face and was full of anxiety.

Later, the sedan stopped at Sun's Mansion. From the outside, it looked like an inconspicuous three-door house, but once inside, it was a completely different world.

After passing through the concierge, one suddenly sees wealth and wealth in front of him. Rockeries, flowing water, rare and rare plants, and a house as magnificent as a famous one in the south of the Yangtze River.

Along the road, the servants who bowed their heads and walked forward were greeted with greetings. Many of these servants were beautiful girls in their 20s. If any one of them was brought to the market, they would be worth a lot of money.

Sun Xiaozhong walked into the backyard three times with a straight face.

The winter in the south of the Yangtze River is as warm as spring. Surrounded by several maids, his wife Li is leisurely holding crumbled cakes and feeding the koi in the pond.

"Master is back!" Mr. Li is in her early fifties, well-maintained, and looks to be no more than forty years old.

She is the daughter of the former Xiaoshan County Magistrate, and her family is well-connected in the Hangzhou area. Her family can speak well of all the lower-level officials in various yamen and get things done.

Sun Xiaozhong nodded, "Where's the little beast?"

Li was displeased, "Which little beast?"

Sun Xiaozhong raised his eyebrows and said, "What a little beast you gave birth to!"

"Who did I have this little beast with?" Mrs. Li said angrily.

Sun Xiaozhong was speechless, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Where is Guo'er?"

Li made a face and said, "I'm reading in the study!" As she said that, she said to Sun Xiaozhong, "Master, I have been reading at home these days, never leaving the door. He knows he is wrong, so don't hit him

insulted!"

"Can a dog change its habit of eating shit?" Sun Xiaozhong snorted coldly and walked towards the study in the back garden.

Sun Xiaozhong had two daughters and only one son. The eldest daughter was married to the son of a feudal official, and the second daughter was married to a civil servant. He only had this son when he was thirty years old, so naturally he loved him to the core.

Poor parents in the world are afraid that their son will have a rough life in the future. Sun Xiaozhong specially asked an expert to name him, but Sun couldn't. He hoped that his son would be safe, and at the same time, he also hoped that his son would achieve something like him. The worst

Nor can we become a prodigal son full of faults.

It's just that God doesn't follow people's wishes, so his son... doesn't matter.

Walking to the door of the study, Sun Xiaozhong looked through the window and suddenly became furious.

In the study, his precious son was reading somewhere, with his hands in the arms of a maid, and a slutty smile on his face.

Bang, Sun Xiaozhong kicked open the door.

"Since when do you still have this thought?"

"Father!" Sun Dubui pushed the maid away and stood up, "You came back early today. Have you had your meal?"

Sun Xuanzhong has a square face and a tall body. His son Sun is not short either, but he has a round face, small eyes and a slightly chubby figure.

They say fat people are angry, but Sun Bubui's small eyes always have a bit of ferocity and cunning, and his face is also a bit violent.

"Your mother said you were reading in the study, is this reading?" Sun Xiaozhong was furious and yelled at the maid, "Get out of here!"

The maid turned pale and leaned down.

Sun Guiguo said aggrievedly, "Father, my son was reading a book just now. Isn't he tired of reading to relieve his boredom?" After saying that, he glanced at his father and said, "Father, don't be angry. It's the son's fault. The son knows

Wrong, please punish me!"

Having said this, he raised his hand and gave himself a slap, "My son is unfilial, and my father has to worry about it!"

"You!" Sun Xiaozhong sighed and sat on a chair, "You just have a good mouth!"

Sun Guoguo glanced at his father carefully and said with a smile, "Father, my child has been locked up at home for these days. Can you go out and get some fresh air? There is nothing new at home. It's the New Year and the city is bustling.

.........Ouch!”

Before he could finish his words, Sun Xiaozhong kicked his fat body directly.

"You want to go out? If you go out, you will get into trouble!" Sun Xiaozhong said angrily, "What happened last time was not smooth, and if you get into trouble again, who will give you peace?"

"Don't we have a father and a mother?" Sun Duan lay on the ground and said aggrievedly, "Is there anything in Hangzhou that our family can't do? That year, my son was almost sentenced to beheading, but it wasn't you...

....."

"I'll beat you to death!" Sun Xiaozhong was furious and picked up the door latch.

"Father, do you want to beat your son to death?"

The tears rolling down his son's fat face made Sun Xiaozhong feel weak. He weakly put down the door latch in his hand, "Son, who do you think your father is? Ah? Of those things you committed, none of them were murders.

It’s your head’s fault! Over the years, your father’s old face has been used to wipe your butt.”

"But when did you know how to repent? You get worse and worse every time. If you weren't my son, I would have killed you with my own hands. You are not young anymore, so you can't let me worry about it?"

"You like women. There are so many pretty maids at home for you to use. Even if you don't have money to go to a brothel, you can do it. But you like to force women from good families and do evil. You... How can I get angry?

Is this a thing like you?"

"It's not all my son's fault. Sometimes when my son gets confused, he doesn't care about anything!" Sun Bubu whispered, "Besides, it's not the son's fault alone. His friends...

.”

"Shut up!" Sun Xiaozhong kicked him again and said angrily, "Until the Zhao family's matter is settled, you stay at home and are not allowed to go anywhere! From now on, don't interact with those bad friends of yours, lest I find out

, break your legs!"

At this time, footsteps suddenly came from outside.

"Who?" Sun Xiaozhong said angrily.

"Sir, someone from the prefect's Yamen is here!" the personal attendant said outside, "I want you to go to the dock quickly!"

"Do you know what happened?" Sun Xiaozhong asked.

"It is said that...the emperor...the emperor's grandson came to our city of Hangzhou in person. He came from the waterway, and the governor of Fantai is on his way to the dock to meet him!"

"The grandson of the emperor!" Sun Xiaozhong was stunned and immediately said, "Hurry up and change the official uniform for me!"

~~~

Hangzhou Pier, all the idle people, etc. should be avoided.

Hangzhou is the seat of Zhejiang's Chief Secretary's office. There is no government in the province. Hundreds of officials, including the Hangzhou magistrate, were waiting at the dock in official uniforms.

On the river, the warship escorting the emperor's grandson slowly stopped, and countless armored guards rushed to the pier to prepare for the attack.

Everyone's eyes were looking at the huge royal boat, but the boat slowly stopped in the middle of the river and did not dock for the time being.

Before Zhu Yunxi came, the governor did not visit Hangzhou at all. Now these officials are confused and don't know why the emperor's grandson came to Hangzhou in this year.

However, the arrival of the Crown Prince was a big event. Everyone was a little surprised and at the same time in high spirits, thinking that if they left a good impression in front of the Crown Prince, their future career would be smooth sailing.

Sun Xiaozhong was a seventh-grade patrol inspector, ranking behind the prefect.

Li Linwu, the prefect of Hangzhou, spoke in unintelligible Mandarin, "Why are you here?"

"Sir, we are delayed due to family matters!" Sun Xiaozhong said.

"The visit of the Emperor's grandson to Hangzhou is a once-in-a-lifetime happy event. You, the inspector, will be very busy these days, and you will keep a close eye on the market!" Li Linwu said sternly, "Don't make any mistakes!"

"Don't worry, sir, there will never be anything wrong in the market in Hangzhou!"

"Yes!" Li Linwu nodded, "I can rest assured that you will do the work!"

"Here we come!" the official exclaimed.

As they exclaimed, a small boat slowly docked. At the head was a military attache wearing a python robe and a jade belt. Not everyone can wear the python robe, only the imperial gift. Not everyone can wear the jade belt, except

Except for princes and sons of meritorious officials, only officials of second rank or above are qualified to lead.

Before the local officials in Hangzhou recognized him, Qianhu, a member of the Hangzhou Jinyi Guards queue, had already spoken.

"I see you, Lord Tongzhi!"

At this time, Hangzhou officials realized that this military attache turned out to be the famous commander of the Jinyi Guards, He Guangyi, who was a hero in the founding of the People's Republic of China.

He Guangyi did not get off the boat. He swept through the crowd on the pier and looked at the Qianhu of Hangzhou Jinyiwei who were greeting him. "Wu Dayong, come with me. Your Highness will summon you!"

Wu Dayong was overjoyed, got up and got on the boat under the envious eyes of everyone.

"It's been a while since I've seen you, sir, but you're still so brave!" Wu Dayong, who was in his early forties, said with a flattering smile.

He Guangyi sneered, "Don't flatter me, you should think about how to get past His Highness!"

Wu Dayong was stunned. Based on his intuition, he felt that it was not a good thing.

I got on the boat anxiously, but before I could stand still, my arms were pinched by several guards.

"Took off his flying fish suit and took off his gauze crown!" He Guangyi said coldly.

"My lord! My lord!"

Wu Dayong screamed in horror, and was immediately stripped down to only his close-fitting white clothes.

"Shut up!" He Guangyi scolded, clasping his fists into the cabin and saying, "Your Highness, we are here!"

"Pull in!" Zhu Yunxi's voice, whose emotions could not be heard, came from the cabin.

If you are not satisfied, I can also split it into three chapters.
