At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 193
Zhu Qiyu rushed over with Cao Nai and others in a hurry.

The Gao family's mansion is facing the street, and the Jinyiwei made such a big commotion, which inevitably attracted a lot of people eating melons, and the entire street was blocked with water. The commander, Zhu Ji, is in the middle and is conducting a search with all his strength.

"Give way, His Royal Highness is coming down!"

Several imperial guards managed to squeeze a way out of the common people and escorted Zhu Qiyu and others to the scene.

When Zhu Ji heard that King Ying was coming, he hurried out to greet him: "Your Majesty Jin Yiwei Zhu Ji, I have seen Your Highness!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhu Qiyu asked with a sullen face: "In broad daylight, you have searched the residences of the cabinet ministers with such fanfare, have you considered the consequences?"

Zhu Ji said helplessly: "The lower officials are also acting according to orders, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Cao Nai hurried forward and said, "Master Gao is a clean and honest person, how could he be corrupt? The emperor must have been deceived by traitors. Before the matter is clear, you should remove your people first!"

Zhang Yi also said: "Yes, the common people are watching, what will you tell Mr. Gao to do after such a big commotion?"

Facing the questioning by Zhu Qiyu and the two cabinet ministers, Zhu Ji did not waver, but said: "Your Highness, my lords, I am really sorry, the order I received was to search Lord Gao's house for stolen money. As for whether Lord Gao Being framed, the lower officials don't know about it, and have no right to ask."

"you……"

Cao Nai was so choked that he couldn't speak. No matter what they said, they just followed orders and there was nothing to talk about.

Faced with such a situation, Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to say: "The truth of the matter is not clear yet. The king immediately wrote a letter to the emperor to verify it. Anyway, this house will not be able to run away. Why don't you send someone to take care of it first. When this king finds out the matter, it will not be too late!"

Zhu Ji looked a little hesitant. After all, this is King Tan, the emperor's younger brother. If he doesn't give him any face, isn't it... not very good-looking?
What's more, what people say is also reasonable. If such a big house hides gold and silver, it won't run away by itself. Why don't you take care of it first...

"Quick, it's here!"

Just when he was hesitating, a group of young people dressed as scholars came from a distance, and without any explanation, they pushed and pushed the onlookers away and squeezed in.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Ji couldn't help frowning.

"Jin Yiwei brutally murdered Zhongliang in Nanjing, and now he is coming to copy Gaoge's old mansion. My colleagues, I can't just sit idly by and fight these court hawks to the end!"

While shouting, these people approached, but were stopped by the guards around Zhu Qiyu.

"You eagle dogs..."

The young man walking in the front seemed to be the leader, and he was about to rush in, but unexpectedly, the other party directly pulled out the knife.

"Presumptuous, His Royal Highness is here, don't make any noise!"

The man was stunned for a while, and then saw that Zhu Qiyu, Cao Nai and others were also present, so he quickly bowed his head and bowed.

"Students have met His Royal Highness King Yi, Mr. Cao, Mr. Zhang..."

Zhu Qiyu asked, "Who are you?"

"Student Guozijian Li Linsheng, learned that Jin Yiwei killed Zhongliang, and my colleagues were outraged, so I came here to reason with them!"

"Reasonable?"

Zhu Qiyu looked at Li Linsheng, then at Zhu Ji, and thought in his heart, no matter what, he must not violate the emperor's will, so it is better to let these scholars take the lead and stabilize the situation first.

No matter how arrogant Jin Yiwei is, he can't do anything to scholars...

Thinking of this, he said: "This king also thinks that there may be some misunderstanding in this matter. Since you are here, if you have something to say, don't hurt your temper."

When Li Linsheng heard this, he immediately understood that King Tan was speaking to him.

Thinking of this, he became more confident, stepped forward and said: "Master Gao must have been framed by someone, you should stop quickly and remove him!"

Zhu Ji stepped forward, stopped him, and said in a deep voice: "Jin Yiwei handles the case, idlers, etc., don't come near!"

"Wait...are you not afraid of being cast aside if you are willing to be an eagle dog and harm Zhongliang?"

Zhu Qiyu is at the side, what does this sound like...it feels very awkward...

My brother is the emperor, and I am the state supervisor. If you call Jin Yiwei an eagle dog, aren't you calling our brothers worthless?
Only fatuous rulers need to keep eagle dogs under their hands.

Zhu Ji was even more annoyed, he pushed the man away impatiently, and said, "Come on!"

"exist!"

Zhu Ji stared coldly at the students in front of him, and said: "If someone obstructs the handling of the case, he will be punished as an accomplice, and he will be arrested and locked up in Zhao Prison first. If anyone resists, he will be shot!"

As soon as this remark came out, the Jin Yiwei who was present drew out the embroidered spring knife from his waist.

Li Linsheng was immediately frightened, but he thought that King Tan was still by his side, so he continued, "Bold, what do you intend to do when you show your sword in front of His Royal Highness?"

Zhu Qiyu's face became more and more ugly, and he felt that he had fallen into a pit.

It's really wrong for Jin Yiwei to show his knife in front of him, but the feeling of being used as a shield is even more fucking uncomfortable!

The problem now is that I have just shown my friendship to these young students, but I can't say anything. This feeling is like eating flies, and I am disgusted and speechless.

The dozen or so people who followed Li Linsheng were all young students from the Imperial College, and they all stood up to criticize Jin Yiwei, and some even scolded directly.

Zhu Ji said angrily: "Come here, take down all those who provoke trouble!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that Jin Yiwei was about to arrest someone, Li Linsheng panicked immediately, stepped back quickly, and said, "Can't I wait to come and watch? Who stipulates that you can't watch?"

He looked at the people around him again, and continued, "With so many people watching, is it possible that you will be arrested in Zhao Prison?"

Zhu Ji snorted coldly, ignored him, then turned around, and said to Zhu Qiyu: "Your Highness, please go back to the palace and wait. If there is a result on my side, I will report it to Your Highness immediately!"

Zhu Qiyu felt very upset, so he said: "How about this, Jin Yiwei should do whatever he wants, I just watch, but ask, how?"

When the matter developed to this point, Zhu Ji had no choice but to agree.

Right and wrong, you can only find out after checking, if you like to follow, just follow, whatever you want!

Seeing this, Li Linsheng hurried forward and followed Cao Nai and others to the front yard of the mansion.

In fact, Gao Zhu's mansion is not big, but an ordinary courtyard with two entrances.

Now it's a mess, Jin Yiwei's side is almost digging three feet into the ground.

However, nothing was found.

Seeing this, everyone secretly sighed in their hearts, this Gao Zhu is simply a very upright official!
The furniture in the room has also been moved out, it can almost be described as tattered.

Moreover, some houses were too late to be repaired, and they were dilapidated.

Don't talk about anything else, just talk about Gao Zhu's wife, Gao Chen, who wears coarse clothes.

Ordinary people, who live a little better, wear better clothes than this.

The wife of a dignified cabinet scholar, at least she is wearing silk and satin, right?

And in his study, there is nothing but bundles of books.

To be honest, Zhu Qiyu was almost in tears.

So clean, how can corruption?

It seems that Brother Huang must have made a mistake.

However, Zhu Ji continued to order: "Continue to search, check all the houses carefully, don't miss anything suspicious!"

The atmosphere at the scene began to become strange. Li Linsheng and others, if they were not afraid of the knife in Jin Yiwei's hand, would have wanted to go forward and fight desperately.

Although Cao Nai didn't speak, his expression was already ugly.

Jin Yiwei barged in with such fanfare, but found nothing, this is definitely not a small crime.

Even with the protection of the emperor, that won't work!
What's more, is Gao Zhu a fuel-efficient lamp? How could he give up?

A school lieutenant came out from the back room, and Zhu Ji immediately asked, "What did you find?"

"My lord, there is nothing inside."

"how is this possible……"

Zhu Ji murmured, already feeling uneasy in his heart.

Could it be that the emperor really made a mistake?
"Have you searched for everything?"

"I've searched them all. Now I can't wait to tear down the walls of their mansion and find nothing. The entire family wealth is only 500 taels of silver. His wife, Gao Chen, even the hairpin is made of copper..."

The wife of a majestic cabinet scholar, wearing a coarse cloth dress and a copper hairpin, isn't this too clean?
Zhu Ji was speechless. Did he really wrong him?
Cao Nai came forward and said, "Zhu Ji, this is the end of the matter. If you are still not withdrawing, what are you waiting for?"

Zhu Ji thought for a long time, and said seriously: "If I really wronged Mr. Gao, I have nothing to say. I will bear the responsibility. Come on, keep searching. Even if you dig three feet, you have to find the dirty silver." come out!"

"Humph!"

Cao Nai snorted coldly and said, "Since you are stubborn, don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes!"

Zhu Ji didn't speak, and walked to the back room by himself.

He carefully checked all the places where the silver could be hidden, but he still didn't find it.

It was very lively outside, Li Linsheng and others were already exaggerating, Jin Yiwei framed Zhongliang, more and more people gathered to watch, and seeing so many people go in, no gold or silver was found, so they believed it.

Sensing that the time was ripe, Li Linsheng simply brought someone to kneel in front of Zhu Qiyu, weeping: "Your Highness, please make the decision for Mr. Gao Ge. Mr. Gao Ge's two sleeves are like Bao Qingtian. If such a good official is murdered, I will What is there to be fair about Daming?"

Behind him, all the students followed suit: "Your Highness, please be the master!"

Even some common people began to intercede for Gao Hub, thinking that Jin Yiwei had gone too far, and persecuting Zhongliang in broad daylight was simply lawless!
This is actually understandable, the people are still very simple.

In their conception, if the Gao family only copied out a few hundred taels of silver, the majestic cabinet scholar can almost be described as a barren house.

Where can I find such a good official?
And yet such a clean and honest person was framed by Jin Yiwei and went directly to ransack the house, what an insult!

At this time, someone pleaded for Gao Zhu, and the vast majority of the people, naturally, responded out of their own perception.

Hearing these words, Zhu Qiyu felt even more mixed feelings.

Jin Yiwei has a driving note issued by the emperor, so it is not appropriate to forcibly stop him.

Up to now, he can only say: "The emperor is a sage, and he will never wrong a good person. There must be a misunderstanding in this, and the matter will be found out. Please go back first, and I will report today's matter truthfully." emperor."

When he said this, the crowd refused to go even more, accusing Jin Yiwei one after another, and put on a desperate posture.

On the other side, Zhu Ji led his men to rummaged up and down, but they couldn't find any dirty money, so in desperation, he had to order to withdraw it first.

At this time, Cao Nai suddenly said: "Lord Gao's house has been confiscated, Zhu Ji, is Jin Yiwei planning to leave immediately?"

Zhu Ji had no choice but to say: "Things are not yet clear, and we still need to..."

"Things are very clear!"

Cao Nai said righteously: "Master Gao is a majestic cabinet scholar. How dare you do this? If you are ordinary people, don't you want to plant and frame them? You can frame them if you want to? Isn't it a search for dirty money? Tell me how much you found?" Gold and silver, say it!"

A group of students behind have already heard the news and moved.

A group of people chattered and said: "This is too presumptuous, it is lawless!"

"The house of the cabinet scholar is copied as soon as it is said. Where are the laws and regulations of the country? If there is a crime, the evidence of the crime will be presented."

Li Linsheng bowed down to Zhu Qiyu again: "Your Highness, the student's father is the steward of Mr. Gao's house. According to my father, Mr. Gao is an upright and upright official. He has offended many people. , and now Jin Yiwei wants to avenge his personal revenge publicly, and wants to put Mr. Gao to death..."

He originally wanted to say that he had offended the emperor, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back abruptly.

I saw him bursting into tears, and continued: "Mr. Gao has worked hard all these years. Everyone has seen it in his eyes. He is indeed a model for scholars like us. Now, he has come to such an end that the world is looking sideways. Dare I ask Your Highness, Jin Yiwei?" What should be the crime for what you have done? Justice is in the hearts of the people, and I implore Your Highness to be the master!"

When everyone heard this, they all showed compassion.

As for the countless subjects outside the mansion, what would they think when they heard these words?
Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhu Ji, but saw that Zhu Ji didn't say a word, as if he had acquiesced.

Cao Nai then said: "Your Highness, this matter is not trivial, from what I have seen..."

At this moment, in a corner where no one was paying attention, an unattractive man came behind Zhu Ji while others were not paying attention.

He didn't speak, just stuffed a small note into Zhu Ji's hand.

At this time, everyone was looking at Zhu Qiyu and Cao Nai, but Zhu Ji was holding the note in a daze.

When he reacted and went to look for it, he had long since disappeared.

Surprised in his heart, he opened the note, only glanced at it, and his face suddenly became excited.

Cao Nai and Zhu Qiyu discussed it, and the impact of this incident was too bad, and we must give everyone an explanation, or not, the Ming court will lose face.

Zhu Qiyu also had this intention. Now that the emperor is not here, he must stand up, explain what should be explained, and apologize what should be apologized.

As for Jin Yiwei's fault, it can only be decided after discussing with the emperor.

"This king..."

"Your Highness!"

Just as Zhu Qiyu was about to speak, he was interrupted by Zhu Ji.

"Your Majesty still has to go to a place. I wonder if His Highness is willing to go?"
