Fang Xiaoru called twice in succession, but Qi Tai did not respond. In an instant, Fang Xiaoru's penis was filled with blood, and she almost wanted to kill someone!
Qi Tai went north from Jimin Academy to help run the school and advocated collecting taxes. All he did was for the Ming Dynasty. Now he is imprisoned for no reason, and his life hangs by a thread. He does not know whether he is alive or dead.
How can there be no justice in the Ming Dynasty!
"Your Highness!"
The dark-faced Zhu Di glanced at him and simply asked: "How is Mr. Qi doing?"
Before Fang Xiaoru could say anything, Lian Zining said: "It's okay, I'm just weak. I just need to rest for a few days."
Zhu Di nodded, "Okay, let's carry him on your back, don't let a small thing cost you a big thing!"
Fang Xiaoru was still unwilling, but Lian Zining had already grabbed his sleeve and quickly disembarked with the escort.
After watching them leave, Zhu Di smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect that my face could be of some use!"
The man was startled, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Highness, our navy has military affairs, and this man has to force his way in... But since he is your Highness's husband, we are willing to compensate him, how about a thousand taels?"
Zhu Di did not agree, but asked: "What is your name and what position do you hold?"
The man immediately said: "My surname is Liao, my name is Liao Tiancai, and I am now the commander of the Navy."
Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Who are you, Marquis Deqing?"
"Yes, it's my cousin."
Zhu Di forced a smile and said, "Marquis Deqing is a very nice person. When I was in Yingtian, the palace often ate shad. Those fish were sent by Marquis Deqing. My father also praised him very much, saying that
Among the heroes, Marquis Deqing was a timely helper; without him, we would not have been able to cross the Yangtze River."
When Liao Tiancai saw Zhu Di's polite words, his arrogance also dropped.
"Your Highness, our navy has many taboos and does not allow people to board the ship easily. After all, we have to risk our lives at sea, so when Lord Qi came, the brothers got angry... Well, let's pay 10,000 taels of silver.
As an apology, I will also entertain His Royal Highness the King of Yan to a banquet to resolve the misunderstanding."
Zhu Di nodded, "It's so generous. I raised the price ten times so quickly... I came in a hurry this time and have to go back to Peking."
With that said, Zhu Di walked under the boat.
Liao Tiancai was startled and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, please go slowly. I will send you off to Your Highness."
He followed Zhu Di closely and got off the boat. Just after walking a hundred steps, Zhu Di suddenly stopped.
"Commander Liao, are the naval forces you brought with you reliable?"
Liao Tiancai didn't understand what he meant, but he replied: "Of course it is reliable. There are many Chaohu elders here. If His Highness has an order, no matter how difficult it is, we will do our best to complete it for His Highness."
Zhu Di nodded and said to himself: "It seems that it was right not to take action on the ship..."
In an instant, Zhu Di's expression changed, and his features were ferocious: "What are you still doing? Take him down!"
Following Zhu Di's order, the guards, who had long been unable to restrain themselves, rushed forward, instantly knocked Liao Tiancai down and tied him up.
Liao Tiancai was shocked and said, "Your Highness King Yan, Your Highness King Yan, why do you arrest me?"
"Why? Just because you detained the tax collector privately and almost killed people! I will arrest you!"
Liao Tiancai was greatly shocked. He had been hunting geese all his life, but today he fell into the hands of a kid.
"His Royal Highness King Yan, you, why didn't you arrest the general of the army privately! You are just a vassal king, and you have exceeded your authority!"
Zhu Di laughed loudly, "I am the vassal king, but I still stay in Peiping! All matters within the jurisdiction, regardless of military culture, are under the control of this king! Even the imperial garrison, Cao Guogong and others are also my subordinates! Even you.
My cousin is here, but it’s just as useless! Take it away to me!”
The guards of Prince Yan's Mansion escorted Liao Tiancai, got into the carriage, and were about to leave.
At this moment, some navy soldiers rushed up in groups. Some even had weapons in their hands, and they rushed in with a fierce look. It was clear that they wanted to snatch Liao Tiancai back.
Sure enough, if we do it on the ship, something big might happen.
At this moment, Zhu Di was no longer afraid. He immediately jumped on his horse, led the guards, passed in front of the navy troops, and shouted angrily, "You are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. How dare you offend me? Do you want to be executed by everyone?"
"
Everyone in the navy couldn't help being stunned, and Zhu Di immediately shouted angrily: "Everyone go back to the barracks and are not allowed to come out at will, otherwise you will be charged with treason!"
Along with Zhu Di's angry shouts, the palace guards raised their sabers high and shouted angrily in unison. They repeatedly passed in front of the navy to demonstrate, and finally suppressed them.
After rescuing Qi Tai and escorting Liao Tiancai, Zhu Di returned to Peiping with majesty like a victorious general.
Anyone who dares to bully me can get rid of anyone with just a few words. You don't take Zhu Di seriously.
"Interrogate me, interrogate me immediately!"
Both Lian Zining and Fang Xiaoru were a little hesitant. Zhu Di's rescue and arrest this time was indeed beautiful, but they had no idea how to deal with this case.
Zhu Di sneered and said: "This is not easy! Don't listen to his nonsense about not allowing outsiders on the ship. I dare say there is a ghost in this ship! Other officials took carriages and walked along the Grand Canal, all thinking of carrying some goods. They
It’s more convenient for me to be a teacher, but I don’t believe there can be no problems! Give me a good torture!”
When the two of them heard this, they immediately felt that it made sense.
How could such a method be provoked if the key points had not been touched?
They must be afraid that the smuggling will be leaked. The more this is the case, the more thorough the investigation must be!
After a short discussion, Fang Xiaoru and Lian Zining immediately divided into two teams and began to bomb Liao Tiancai day and night... Otherwise, it is said that scholars are bad!
Although these two people had never really interrogated anyone, they had heard many stories and quickly became familiar with them through this kind of continuous interrogation.
Day and night, without a moment's rest.
You are allowed to eat food and drink water, but you are not allowed to sleep.
At first, Liao Tiancai didn't take it seriously at all. I'm a thief to begin with, and after so many years of life and death, I can still be afraid of you brats!
But on the third day, Liao Tiancai couldn't bear it anymore.
Yawning all day long and exhausted.
However, since Fang Xiaoru and Lian Zining were working in shifts, their condition did not diminish at all.
After another day, Liao Tian couldn't bear it anymore until the fifth day.
"Let me sleep! As long as you let me sleep, I will say anything!"
Lian Zining was so happy that he immediately called Fang Xiaoru who was catching up on his sleep, and they interrogated him together.
"Tell me, what do you have on board?"
"Yes, there is sulfur and folding fans from Japan!"
"Things from the Japanese country? How did you get them?" Lian Zining asked loudly, "Could it be that you are related to the Japanese?"
Liao Tiancai was surprised for a while. Although he was now worse off than dead and had little sense anymore, he also knew that intercourse with the Japanese was definitely a capital crime and might lead to the annihilation of nine tribes.
"No, not at all! Yes, the Japanese country is still raging in southern Goryeo. We just took some food and exchanged some things from the Japanese country."
Lian Zining frowned slightly and suddenly shouted angrily: "You're lying! How can you only make such a small profit from such a good business? Don't lie to us! Tell me quickly, what else have you done?"
Faced with the questioning, Liao Tiancai burst into tears and burst into tears.
"I am a hero of the Ming Dynasty. I have gone through life and death and made so many contributions to the Ming Dynasty. I am unjust!"
This guy began to cry out for injustice, cry and fuss, which was obviously a sign of a mental breakdown.
Lian Zining and Fang Xiaoru didn't want to let him go, so they continued to question... After another half an hour, Fang Xiaoru and Lian Zining took the confession and walked out slowly. Their hearts were pounding, and they looked at each other and felt like it was heaven.
Half of it collapsed!
If this eucalyptus is established, it will be many times bigger than the eucalyptus of Tang and Lu back then!
Lian Zining suddenly smiled bitterly, "Now I understand a little bit why Huang Zicheng said that tax tracing should not be done casually. This is indeed fatal."
Fang Xiaoru snorted coldly, "Huang Zicheng is just a coward! A man is born in heaven and earth. He can live and die, but he cannot be afraid! I will go and ask for orders now!"
He just turned around and saw someone.
"Senior Brother Huang, you, why are you here?"
Huang Zicheng said angrily: "You are allowed to say bad things about me, but you are not allowed to know about it?"
Fang Xiaoru was also a little embarrassed, but he was not an ordinary person after all. He said stubbornly: "I am telling the truth, not bad words!"
Huang Zicheng gritted his teeth. He was really helpless when he encountered such a guy!
"Hurry up and see Mr. Zhang!"
"Going to see Prime Minister Zhang? Then, where is Dagokou?" Fang Xiaoru asked in confusion.
Huang Zicheng hummed: "You don't need to worry, the Duke of Yue has already gone."
Hu Dahai actually took action!
Good guy, this one is something that King Yan Zhu Di can't even command. Although the Beiping Left-behind Division controls everything, even Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong can't escape, but Hu Dahai also has a title, that is, the chief soldier!
Xu Da, Feng Guoyong, and Hu Dahai, all of them are responsible for their own actions, and they will all hold the rank of general soldier. Once they become the general soldier, it means they have the authority to speak out.
Even if there are civil servants such as governors and supervisors, they must obey the orders of the general army, and those who stay in Peiping are no exception.
This was what Zhang Ximeng obtained for the warriors.
Since Lao Hu has taken action, there will be no problem.
They quickly went to see Zhang Ximeng.
When they arrived, the King of Yan, Zhu Di, was also here. At this time, Zhu Laosi was standing with his hands down, like a good baby, completely without the arrogance and domineeringness of the past.
The second rule of the naughty child's rule is to be cowardly when it's time to be cowardly. After all, it's not your turn to make the decision in this world yet. If you don't understand this principle, it's not as simple as spanking.
"Have you found out the result?" Zhang Ximeng said calmly.
Lian Zining immediately handed over the file.
"Please take a look at it, Mr. Zhang!"
Zhang Ximeng took it in his hand, unfolded it, looked at it for a while, raised his brows slightly, then returned to normal, and just sighed.
"You two should all be quiet and go to Peking University to teach for the time being. With me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything." Zhang Ximeng said calmly.
Lian Zining, Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru hesitated a little and nodded quickly.
"Xiang Zhang, we all listen to you."
Zhu Di was startled for a moment, "I, should I also go to the school?"
Zhang Ximeng gave him a roll of his eyes and said, "Zhu Di, you are also His Majesty's prince after all. Who else dares to do anything to you?"
Zhu Di scratched his head, looking anxious and uneasy, "Sir, I, I still don't know what to do, otherwise I will just follow you every day."
Zhang Ximeng hummed: "Why are you following me? If you want to follow me, just go to Duke Yue... He is a calm man and knows how to lead troops. You can learn a lot by following him."
Hearing this, Zhu Di let out a sigh of relief. Even though Zhang Ximeng was not allowed to speak out, it was still worthwhile to worship this teacher.
This time it involves the navy, how to arrest people and deal with it, there is a lot of knowledge involved. Following Hu Dahai, you will definitely benefit a lot... But the question is, why should Hu Dahai teach you?
This depends on what Zhang Ximeng said.
Zhu Di bowed deeply to Zhang Ximeng and left quickly.
Zhang Ximeng was left alone in the house again. He pondered for a while, picked up his pen, and wrote a letter to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"This time the Navy's smuggling is extremely involved... there are food smuggling, weapons sales, and private transportation of gold and silver, as well as slave trade. The Navy has committed many crimes, but it is not limited to the Navy. I hope my lord can be patient.
Handle this carefully."
Zhang Ximeng thought for a moment and then added, "This case is most likely the biggest case since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The Navy is in a special situation, so I hope the lord can arrange it properly."
Zhang Ximeng looked at it again and confirmed that it was correct, so he asked someone to hurry up and send it out at 800 miles without wasting any time.
…
In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, there were Zhu Di's family letters, Hu Dahai's urgent report, and the Jin Yiwei's secret report... Several things were in front of him, but in his hand, he only held Zhang Ximeng's letter.
Lao Zhu looked at it again and again, and finally said slowly: "Password to Mao Xiang, go and bring Liao Yongzhong!"
