Everyone was joking and having a good time drinking.
After a while, someone knocked on the door again.
The attendant opened the door with a stern look on his face, hurriedly lowered his hands and stepped aside.
Xu Huizu was a little impatient: "Who is it again?!"
Zhu Biao walked in with a sullen face.
Xu Huizu immediately woke up from half of his wine and hurriedly saluted with others: "Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here in person? Just ask someone to call the ministers to come over."
Zhu Biao said coldly: "Master Xu has too much face to complain."
Xu Huizu immediately realized that it was Zhu Bai who had gone to complain, and he was a little disapproving: "If the King of Xiang wants to see me, he can come here."
Zhu Biao said word by word: "You may have forgotten that he is now the commander-in-chief of the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities, and the swordsman of the Guanya Bureau. He is also the younger brother of this palace. The current King of Xiang, who has been erected in the court,
Man, his rank is only lower than this palace."
If we want to get serious about the theory, Xu Huizu made the following mistakes.
This is the first time Zhu Biao has spoken to Xu Huizu in such a tone.
Xu Huizu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly lowered his head: "Yes, Wei Chen is confused, Wei Chen knows he is wrong."
Zhu Biao softened his tone: "The twelfth brother asked you to disperse everyone and lock them in here for your own good."
Although Xu Huizu was still dissatisfied, he did not dare to say anything and hurriedly dismissed everyone and followed Zhu Biao out.
When Xu Huizu came out, he discovered that Zhu Di was also here.
But Zhu Di stood at the door with his hands behind his back and did not go in.
Zhu Di's face was even worse, with reluctance and boredom written all over his face.
Xu Huizu was originally displeased with this "pig" who had stolen the best "cabbage" from his family. Now he felt that Zhu Di was here just to help Zhu Bai, and he didn't have a good look towards him.
He bowed to Zhu Di in vain and then asked Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, where are you going now?"
Zhu Biao sighed: "Go to the Guanya Bureau. Originally, King Xiang went to the Xu Mansion in person to handle the matter quietly. Since you don't cooperate, he can only handle the matter in the Guanya Bureau."
Xu Huizu became more and more surprised and asked in a low voice: "What is going on?"
Zhu Biao said: "Did your other courtyard have an official contract at that time?"
Xu Huizu was stunned.
Because the Xu Mansion was located in the east city, it was surrounded by dignitaries. He also liked archery and often flew to other homes, causing unnecessary trouble.
At that time, through a friend's introduction, I learned that the owner of this house in Beicheng District was losing money in business and was eager to sell it at a low price. However, in order to save the deed tax, he was only willing to apply for a private deed.
At that time, Xu Dagang had just gone to Peiping and Xu Huizu had just taken over the Xu family. Various expenses and money were tight, so he agreed.
Now after so many years, he has long forgotten about it.
He hesitated and said, "It's not too late to reissue it now."
Only recently did the imperial court add the clause "must obtain an official contract" in the "Da Ming Code".
He didn't believe that he was the only one who was negligent.
Zhu Biao sighed softly: "Do you think that my twelfth brother would go out of his way to trouble you if no one reported it?"
Others don't know it, but he knows Zhu Bai too well. He won't stand when he can sit, and he won't sit when he can lie down. He wants to work and will never find such a thankless thing to do by himself.
Besides, Xu Huizu's identity is so special, with Zhu Biao and Zhu Di tied to his body.
No matter who Zhu Bai finds trouble with, he will never come back to make trouble with him.
When Xu Huizu heard that someone had reported him, he became a little flustered and pursed his lips and became silent.
When the people from the Guanya Bureau saw these three people coming, they quickly ushered them in.
Zhu Bai sat at the table inside, raised his head, said hello to Zhu Biao and Zhu Di, and then continued to play with his nine-ring chain.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Di knew that he was establishing his authority. Although their younger brother was young, he was very capable of manipulating people.
So they didn't say anything and sat down separately.
Xu Huizu stood there, a little embarrassed, and saluted Zhu Bai: "His Royal Highness the King of Xiang. The minister is here."
Zhu Bai didn't even raise his eyebrows.
Xu Huizu held back his anger and said again: "His Royal Highness the King of Xiang, Wei Chen is here. Just now Wei Chen drank some wine and neglected King Xiang. Wei Chen has realized his crime. Your Highness, please forgive Wei Chen."
Only then did Zhu Bai lazily raise his eyelids and smile at Xu Huizu: "Oh, Mr. Xu is here. When Mr. Xu saw me, he respectfully called me 'Your Highness'. Tsk, tsk, tsk, Mr. Xu, what's the matter?"
You dare to call me 'that boy'. Either you don't take me seriously, or you don't take my father seriously."
Zhu Biao became a little angry when he heard this and glanced at Xu Huizu.
Zhu Di's face became colder and colder.
Cold sweat broke out on Xu Huizu's head, and he saluted again: "I have overstepped my bounds."
Zhu Bai did not intend to let him go so easily, and continued: "Do you know why you came to this official office of the king?"
Xu Huizu hesitated and said: "Someone reported that my other hospital has never processed official deeds."
Zhu Bai said: "Then you are a suspect. As a prisoner, what should you do when you meet the presiding officer? Do you still need me to teach you?"
Xu Huizu gritted his teeth and remained still.
Zhu Bai said to Fugui again: "Okay. I am too lazy to take care of it. Go and ask the people from the Beicheng Military and Horse Division to arrest the person. Once they are arrested, they will be thrown directly into the prison. They will be tried as they should be."
Seeing that Xu Huizu was so ignorant, Zhu Biao also planned to teach him a lesson, so he did not plead for Xu Huizu.
When Xu Huizu saw that Zhu Biao ignored him, he could only kneel down reluctantly: "I know the crime."
Zhu Bai raised his chin to Fugui and said, "Read the two lines of the Ming Dynasty Law to him."
Fu Gui said: "The sale and lease of a house without an official deed is equivalent to theft. If the property is stolen for more than ten taels of silver, the person will be punished with a stick, exile, or beheading depending on the amount."
Zhu Bai lowered his eyes and fiddled with the nine-link ring in his hand: "How much silver is the current price of your yard? It's not five hundred taels, but three hundred taels. Well... it's enough for exile. This new law has just been promulgated.
, it just happened to be of use to Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu is the son of a high-ranking official, and he is also the prince's companion. He is the wife and brother of the King of Yan. His status is high enough. I will deal with you severely and let the people know that this king is selfless. To me, I have both fame and fortune.
Collect it, it’s really great.”
Xu Huizu panicked and kept kowtowing: "It was a momentary negligence of the humble minister. Please ask the King of Xiang to be accommodating."
Zhu Bai looked at Zhu Biao and Zhu Di: "What do you two brothers think?"
This time he must make these two people admit that they owe him a favor, otherwise they would be working in vain and suffering in vain.
Zhu Biao sighed: "Originally, this palace took the lead in this matter, and there should be no favoritism. It's just that Mr. Xu is the younger brother of this temple, and he really can't bear to ignore it. The twelfth brother will see if there is any way to avoid favoritism and not let Mr. Xu do it.
Accepted."
Zhu Di said: "Although Mr. Xu made some excuses to impeach me a few days ago, for the sake of Concubine Xu, I have to save him. Twelve brother, just think of it as helping fourth brother."
Zhu Bai nodded slightly: "Okay, since the Crown Prince and King Yan have interceded for you, I will tell you a way."
Xu Huizu hurriedly kowtowed: "Please give me some advice from King Xiang."
