"Okay, Da Sun's idea is good. We think it makes sense. If you don't buy it, you can't sell it. These kidnappers should all be put to death."
Zhu Yuanzhang said directly.
The common people all hate kidnappers.
Zhu Yuanzhang still remembered that when he was a child, children were often abducted in the village.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang did not pay attention to the fact that Cuihua, who lived directly next door, was also abducted by a gangster. Only those who have experienced it understand the hatred towards kidnappers.
After all, the green flower at that time was just a flower in the village, and many people secretly liked it.
He was abducted just like that.
Zhu Ying was slightly startled when he heard this. The same crime of buying and selling that had not been completed in later generations was actually settled by the old man with just one sentence.
It should be noted that buying and selling the same crime is not that simple. You must know that in today's world, those who can buy maids and servants are wealthy families.
This also means that every time a sale or purchase is concluded to be of the same crime, the landlords, gentry, or even nobles will be involved.
It was only when Zhu Ying saw the old man's disapproval that he understood.
Who is the old man? He is the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. No matter whether he is a landlord or a noble family, there is no need to care.
No matter how many nobles are involved in the kidnapping, how many people can there be in the four major cases?
How many corrupt officials can be killed every year?
If that's the case, what does it matter?
"It's getting dark soon. I think the matter about Miss Xu will have a result soon."
Zhu Ying said casually.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. In the capital, under the blocked city gate, troops from the five cities of Jinyiwei came out at once. If a missing person case still couldn't be solved.
Then these people are really useless, and at least a lot of them must be executed.
Not long after Zhu Ying finished speaking, Jiang Wei came over.
"Greetings to Your Majesty and His Majesty Changsun." Jiang Gu bowed.
"Well, all those kidnappers have been caught. This case is so bad that even I, the daughter of King Zhongshan of the Ming Dynasty, dared to rob her. Let's see, the kidnappers must be severely punished."
"After interrogating people, they should be executed directly. Anyone involved in this matter will be sentenced to death."
Zhu Yuanzhang directly made a conclusion and said.
This is also an explanation to many honorable people. These are the family members of King Zhongshan. This is no longer a simple abduction case.
It is a provocation to the Ming Dynasty royal family and the Ming Dynasty nobles.
However, Jiang Gu, who had not yet had time to report the case, heard big beads of sweat on his forehead after hearing His Majesty's words.
In an instant, Jiang Wei didn't know what to say.
Because until now, there is no clue at all about Xu Miaojin.
Zhu Ying saw something was wrong with Jiang Yu's expression, and immediately frowned and asked: "Commander Jiang, is it possible that no one has been arrested yet?"
"What is the current situation? Please tell me carefully."
A hint of gratitude flashed in Jiang Wei's eyes.
His Highness Changsun spoke up for him at this time, just to help him. If he had waited for him to say it himself, His Majesty would have been furious, without even a chance to explain.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Highness Changsun, this matter is extremely strange at the moment. I and other brothers in the Imperial Guard have searched the area around the Xu Mansion. Except for Xu Miaojin and his maid, no one saw them when they went out."
"From now on, it is as if the world has disappeared. During this period, no useful clues can be found. There are more than 700 people in the Jinyiwei Prison who are related to Ren Yazi in the capital."
"Strict interrogation has now begun. No one knows the whereabouts of Xu Miaojin yet."
Jiang Wei hurriedly explained. His tone was slightly nervous. After speaking, he looked at His Majesty cautiously.
Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed attracted by the word "Qi Qi", and he still believed in Jin Yiwei's ability.
Logically speaking, the search for a missing girl should not be so difficult.
"Where are the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department? Do they have any news? How come at this hour, no one has come to report the situation."
Zhu Yuanzhang shouted and asked.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Commander Zhang from the Central City Military and Horse Division should be on his way here now. Before I came, I heard that they seemed to have news and were discussing it."
Jiang Wei helped and said, now is not the time to add insult to injury. Once His Majesty becomes angry, it will be uncomfortable.
Not long after Jiang Wei finished speaking, Commander Zhang from the Central City Army Division finally rushed over.
"I, the Commander-in-Chief of the Military and Horse Division, Zhang Yi, pay homage to Your Majesty." Zhang Yi bowed and bowed.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Come on, let's talk about what's going on with the daughter of King Zhongshan now. The case has been solved. Has anyone been caught?"
When Zhang Yi heard this, his body became a little tense. He knew that what he said next was not only about the black gauze hat on his head, but also about the head on his neck.
If it's not handled well, I'm afraid this little life will have to be used to vent one's anger.
"Reporting to your Majesty, I have arrested all Yazi and other relevant persons in the capital and will interrogate them strictly."
"The information we have received so far is that we can confirm that Ms. Xu has not left the city yet and is presumed to be still in the city."
"It is very possible that these people who dare to attack the daughter of the King of Zhongshan are probably not locals in the capital, but should be outsiders who do not know Miss Xu's identity."
"According to my guess, the kidnapper should be in panic now and can only hide secretly. Now I and other five-city military divisions have begun to search the outer city of the capital. It shouldn't take long for the results to appear."
Zhang Yi answered carefully.
When Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his seat and waited for Zhu Yuanzhang to speak, Zhu Ying frowned and said: "From what you say, my king, it seems that if this matter does not involve King Zhongshan, the kidnapper would dare to abduct him."
"Is it possible that we, the people of Ming Dynasty, should be abducted?"
Zhu Ying's tone was a little unhappy. Although he was the eldest grandson of Huang Ming now, he was just an ordinary citizen in his previous life.
The most shameful thing is the government's indifference to the people.
Although the world is like this, Zhu Ying feels uncomfortable in her heart.
Zhang Yi was a little confused when he heard this. He subconsciously looked at Zhu Ying, wanting to explain but didn't know what to call her.
Obviously Zhang Yi did not know Zhu Ying. With his status, His Highness the Crown Prince was not qualified to see him and could only take a look from a distance.
At this point, Liu He introduced him at the right time: "This is His Highness Changsun."
After Zhang Yi heard this, he didn't care when there was a new Highness Changsun in the palace, and said quickly: "Reporting to His Highness Changsun, I didn't mean that."
"It's just that these kidnappers are usually very discerning and know who can be touched and who can't be touched. That's why I believe that outsiders may be the biggest bandits."
Zhu Ying did not hold too much blame on this matter, and said: "Then where is the last place Xu Miaojin appeared? Can anyone see it?"
Zhang Yidao: "According to the information obtained from the investigation, it should be near the Qinhuai River."
"Miss, why don't we go back? I just went outside to order food and heard everyone talking, saying that the city gates were blocked."
"It's not that serious. I just didn't go back last night. It shouldn't be because of me."
"It's true, miss. There are Jin Yiwei and people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department searching everywhere outside. It's so scary."
"It's not like he wants to arrest us. Why are we scared? Besides, I haven't waited for Mr. Zhu yet."
"Miss, I'm afraid. Go outside and take a look. There are really many people searching." Gu Temp
"Okay, I'll go take a look."
Xu Miaojin felt that the maid's words were a bit exaggerated.
Last night, she sneaked out of the mansion with her maid, and then went to Prince Yan's mansion to find Zhu Gaochi.
But after leaving the house, she suddenly wanted to visit Qin Huai.
Because she was a woman, she and her maid specially dressed up in disguise.
After visiting Qinhuai and recalling the scenes with Mr. Zhu, Xu Miaojin suddenly thought that the Ping'an Teahouse was opened by Mr. Zhu.
I heard from my nephew Zhu Gaochi that Mr. Zhu often goes to Ping'an Tea House.
So Xu Miaojin made a temporary decision to stay with Mr. Zhu at Ping'an Tea House.
She no longer believed Zhu Gaochi and lied to her again and again.
I always say that I have made an appointment, especially on the last Chinese Valentine's Day. I waited for a whole day and finally waited for the news that Mr. Zhu was leaving.
"I will never trust you again."
Xu Miaojin's eyes were red, looking at the setting sun on the horizon, and said to Zhu Gaochi aggrievedly.
Mr. Zhu would definitely not lie to her, so the one who deceived her must be his nephew.
Therefore, she decided to find Mr. Zhu herself.
So, Xu Miaojin moved into a high-end inn opposite the Ping'an Tea House, and the door of the Ping'an Tea House could be seen from the window.
As a woman, Xu Miaojin certainly would not show up casually, so after checking in last night, when she woke up, she asked the waiter to buy some pens and ink.
Just in the room, I started painting with peace of mind.
Then he asked the maid to stare at the window to see when Mr. Zhu would come back.
Xu Miaojin opened the door and called the waiter over.
"Master, do you have any instructions?"
The waiter asked enthusiastically. In the waiter's heart, the handsome young man in front of him was an important customer.
The reward in the morning was very generous.
So he just paid attention here to see if there was anything he could do to help with errands.
"I see there is some chaos outside. I heard that the gates of the capital have been sealed, but something happened."
Xu Miaojin asked in a deliberately lowered voice.
The waiter immediately replied: "Young master has been studying in the house, so you don't know about this. Now it has been spread all over the world that the young lady from Zhongshan Prince's Palace has disappeared."
"It is said that he was probably abducted by Ren Yazi. I'm a good boy. How could Ren Yazi be so bold and dare to touch even the people of Zhongshan Prince's Palace? I really don't want my life."
Having said this, the waiter seemed to think that this news was too ordinary and of little value, then he looked around and whispered:
"Sir, I heard that those who work in the dental industry suffered a lot today. The Jin Yiwei first arrested a group, and then the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division arrested another group."
"It is said that all the restaurants in the capital have been emptied out, and every one of those gangsters on the street has been arrested."
"This incident caused a storm in the city. At least thousands of people were arrested."
When the waiter said this, he noticed that the young master in front of him looked worried, so he quickly turned away and said:
"Young master, don't worry. Our inn is very safe, and we have a big backer behind it. Besides, our inn is not affordable for ordinary people."
"Only nobles like the Young Master can move in. Here, the Jin Yiwei just came over and asked twice, and there was no search."
"Master, please stay at ease."
The waiter said with some pride.
What he said is true. You can open an inn on the bank of the Qinhuai River. Without some background, you can't stand it at all.
The main targets of the Jin Yiwei and the Wucheng Military and Horse Division were all placed in slum areas, places like Qinhuai that were equivalent to noble areas, and they just passed through routine inquiries.
The restaurants, teahouses, and inns near the Qinhuai River are basically dominated by dignitaries. Only ordinary people can buy property here.
For example, Zhu Ying's Ping'an Teahouse was also the property of King Zhu Di of Yan.
"okay, I get it."
Xu Miaojin panicked a little. After saying something, she closed the door.
Although the waiter was a little disappointed that he didn't get another reward, he didn't think too much about it.
"These young masters are most afraid of the Jin Yiwei, just by hearing a sound, eh."
The waiter left muttering.
In the house, after watching the waiter leave, the maid asked nervously: "Miss, what should we do?"
Xu Miaojin glanced at the window, feeling a little hesitant.
The commotion was so big this time, and it would be extremely difficult for her to come up with it next time.
He gritted his teeth gently and said, "What else can I do? Of course I should go back. Why don't you listen? I arrested thousands of people all because of you."
"The only option is to go back."
The maid was a little scared and said: "Miss, I'm afraid if the master will beat me to death."
Xu Miaojin comforted her: "Don't worry, when you get back home, you can just say that I forced you to do it. I will say the same then and I won't blame you."
"At worst, we won't come out these days."
Xu Miaojin could imagine that if she went back this time, she would at least be grounded.
When the maid heard this, she felt relieved a little.
In the eyes of the two of them, the matter this time was not too big, it was just a matter of not returning home all night.
After finishing speaking, the two of them did not hesitate. Seeing that it was getting dark, they packed up their things, checked out, and went back to Xu Mansion.
Jin Yiwei's prison, in the prison of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.
People were being arrested one after another, and each cell began to fill up.
The pressure from the palace allowed the two major yamen to operate efficiently.
At present, it is not limited to Yahang. Basically, anyone who has any connection with gangs or underworld will be counted as one, and they will be arrested first and interrogated first.
Once you enter the cell, you can't help yourself. No matter what the situation is, you need to interrogate first.
There is no one to explain this. He will be sentenced directly, and then he will explain clearly what he committed.
The Wucheng Bingma Division is slightly better.
Over at Jinyiwei, it's completely different.
How could a person with a black face ever enter such a prison, which only high-ranking officials are qualified to enter?
Jinyiwei's prison is also called the imperial prison, and few people can get out after entering.
At the same time, the same voice came from the Jinyi Guards and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division prison.
"Tell me more carefully. Tell me honestly what you have committed. If you are really guilty of something, you can still keep your body intact. Otherwise, hehe, you will be raped and executed!"
