People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

"You mean, a little Taoist priest was caught from Xu Cunren's house?"

Ying Tian, ​​Yang Mansion.

Yang Xian, right minister of Zhongshu Province, has had a particularly smooth life recently.

Probably because the Taoist priest named Liu Yuanran was really good at helping him exorcise evil spirits.

Anyway, starting from the coastal defense battle between Jiaozhou and Suzhou, Yang Xian reached the pinnacle of his official career.

The power given to him by the emperor allows him to do whatever he wants in Ying Tian Mansion.

Even Li Shanchang was somewhat afraid of him.

There is no other reason.

In this hunting and killing of pirates linked to rich families in the south of the Yangtze River, Master Yang's attitude has become very important.

One of his tendencies can lead to the destruction of many families.

Even in the court, one of his memorials will cause many people to fall to the ground.

Those censors of the Eastern Zhejiang faction who were not dealing with him on weekdays also shut up one after another, and everyone was in danger.

Under this storm, Liu Bowen had to shut himself behind closed doors to protect himself in the face of requests from blind dates.

For the case of pirates, the Holy Spirit was furious, but any officials from the coastal state capitals and provinces may be struck by the thunder of the world.

And he, Yang Xian, is the one who guides Lei Ting.

Today, Yang Xian collected a sum of money through his family, which was sent by a certain gentry in Suzhou Prefecture to pay for his life.

During these days, if you can find a way to send him money, you don't know how many layers of skin will be peeled off.

But those old men didn't care about a lot in order to survive.

Rich, but also have the power of life and death.

If you don't cherish this period of time and make things worse, you will be too sorry for yourself.

Yang Xian originally thought that his life was good enough.

But the news that came just now still made him overjoyed.

If Yang Xian still has any regrets, it is that there is a little Taoist priest who has always been a worry in his heart.

Zhongshan Wolf's reputation made him the laughing stock of the capital.

It also discredited him as a prime minister.

It's not that he didn't want to take revenge on this little Taoist priest, but that guy seemed to have some supernatural powers.

The two attempts made him suffer a lot, coupled with His Majesty's vague attention and Liu Ji's protection, Yang Xian could only calm down and give up revenge on Zhang Yi.

But today is different from the past, the officials of the East Zhejiang faction dare not take the lead because of the major pirate case, and it is also the time for Yang Xian to retaliate.

To take away Xu Cunren, but to bring out Zhang Yi, isn't this a godsend, what is it?
The child has fallen into his own trap, and it will not be so easy to get out.

If he could make good use of this case, he might be able to bring down Longhushan by the way.

"Let's go, go to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment!"

The prime minister became interested, and took his subordinates to the prison of the Ministry of punishment.

Prison cell.

Xu Cunren, Zhang Yi, and Mrs. Xu were pushed in by the guards.

The light in the cell was dim, and as soon as Zhang Yi entered, he felt a strange smell blowing his face.

It was an indescribable smell, mixed with the smell of blood and human excrement, and it didn't smell good.

He looked around, but apart from the cold and wet, he couldn't see anything that could lift his spirits.

There were faint voices coming from the cell, and Xu Cunren's face seemed to change slightly when he heard these voices.

It was the sound of someone being tortured and tortured.

This also seems to indicate the future that he and others are about to face.

"It's Brother Li... I didn't expect him to come in too..."

Zhang Yi didn't know who Xu Cunren was referring to as Brother Li, but he also knew that many officials who had justified the coastal areas during the past few days had died in prison.

Zhang Yi vaguely felt that this storm was on the verge of getting out of control.

There will be more officials here in the future.

"go!"

The officials were polite to the three of Xu Cunren and took them to an empty cell and locked them in.

Mrs. Xu has been crying softly since she came in.

Xu Cunren was also sighing.

Zhang Yi lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking?
It was the first time he encountered a real murder, but he found that he was not as frightened as he imagined.

Maybe it's a relationship of reincarnating as a human being and experiencing a death.

He used to be outside and felt that he was afraid of death...

Facing this world, he drank boiled water cautiously, researched antibiotics, and made various efforts to keep himself alive.

But now that he was about to die, that fear disappeared.

"Are you afraid?"

Xu Cunren noticed Zhang Yi's abnormality and asked.

Zhang Yi shook his head:
"I thought it would be scary, but it seems to be okay..."

Xu Cunren smiled:

"I used to think that you were a man of Taoism, but now I see that you are the same!

At a young age, you can be indifferent to life and death, I am not as good as you! "

Zhang Yi was curious:

"Are you afraid, sir?"

"Why don't you be afraid, don't look at me calm on the surface, but in fact, listening to the sounds around me, I also panic!

The person you heard that screaming was an old friend of mine who has known each other for many years, and now we meet again, but he is imprisoned...

If it weren't for your mistress, I'm afraid this old man wouldn't be so strong and calm..."

Mrs. Xu is a woman, and shortly after entering the cell, she was exhausted physically and mentally, and eventually fell into a coma.

The only one Xu Cunren could talk to was Zhang Yi in front of him.

"If I die, I have no regrets, I just feel that my wife has been hurt!

But the old man is more guilty of hurting you. After all, I still have a child, and this life is almost over...

You have a great life..."

Zhang Yi shook his head:
"Sir, don't push all the responsibilities on yourself, this fate has a definite destiny, just like Xiaodao came to this world and became the direct descendant of a celestial master!
Sometimes students are also confused, why do I come to this world for a while?
Just thinking about it carefully, Pindao has done some things and left some things behind...

If the gods really want to take away Pindao's life, this trip will be worthwhile for Pindao! "

Zhang Yi smiled:

"What's more, this prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is not some kind of Abi Hell. I have a clear conscience, can I still get out?"

"You guys just can't get out..."

Before Xu Cunren answered, Yang Xian, who walked in from the outside, was the first to answer.

Xu Cunren and Zhang Yi raised their heads, just in time to see the arrogant face of Daming's right minister.

At this time, Yang Xian looked like a villain.

He never set his sights on Xu Cunren, but on Zhang Yi.

However, he was soon disappointed. Zhang Yi's expression showed no fear.

On the contrary, the moment he saw him, the other party regained his composure, and even had a bit of an immortal aura.

His attitude made Yang Xian very unhappy.

However, he could not directly lynch, but turned to Xu Cunren:
"My lord Xu is a good means. I usually see you willing to stay in poverty, but I didn't expect that you are also raising pirates and making money every day!
Master Xu wants this name, and Master Xu also accepts a lot of money!
Truth is a colleague of Your Majesty, and has been in contact with him. Here, Truth advises Your Majesty to confess your sins honestly, so that His Majesty will be magnanimous...

If your lord thinks that you can escape His Majesty's sanction, no matter how much you argue, it's just that the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice does not only detain prisoners!

Mr. Xu is weak in body and bones, I'm afraid he won't be able to stand the punishment!
Even if you can bear it, Mrs. Xu may not! "

As soon as Yang Xian finished speaking, Xu Cunren's face changed drastically:

"Yang Xian, it's fine if you frame this old man, but you still hurt your family?"

Yang Xian laughed:
"Master Xu, please don't slander the truth. The truth is only to supervise the handling of the case by the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
Your wife took money from other people in the backyard, which is clear evidence of crime!
All the money givers have been recruited, and the money in your family has also been found.

There are all witnesses and material evidence, so you have to argue? "

Mrs. Xu woke up early in their argument.

Listening to Yang Xian's nonsense, she argued:

"My lord, I have never received money, I have never..."

Xu Cunren felt cold all over his body.Judging from Yang Xian's dictation, how could he not understand the other party's intentions.

This is Yang Xian's blatant suppression of officials from the Eastern Zhejiang faction, and it is also a blatant attempt to set blame.

But even if Yang Xian said it in person, so what?
"I want to see the emperor..."

Xu Cunren instantly understood that he couldn't find justice in this place, and judging by the other party's posture, he was no longer just asking him to die alone.

If the matter of collusion with pirates is implemented, it will not be a matter of Xu Cunren.

His son in other places will also suffer.

Yang Xian did this to ransack the Xu family's family and exterminate it.

"My lord Xu, the Ministry of Truth and Punishment was ordered by the emperor to arrest the rich and their accomplices who colluded with pirates!

If you want to see the emperor, you must first pass the level of the Ministry of Criminal Justice!
I advise you to cooperate honestly, do you still have a party in the court?Is there anyone to shelter you?

If you tell the truth, you may still have a chance to escape!
If not, the Ministry of Punishment has its rules, so you may not be able to bear these punishments..."

Now that the matter has come to this point, Xu Cunren also understands that he is in danger.

He glared at Yang Xian and said:

"Yang Xian, don't think that I'm a villain like you. It's not true that you are sharing worries for His Majesty. It is true that you want to suppress dissidents and frame Zhongliang.

This old man won't do what you want, you have to be punished yourself, this old man will bear it!

Do you really think the old man is a villain like you who comes from a humble background and does things in secret?
The old man has looked down on you for a long time, don't you think that you have approved the official uniform of the prime minister, so you treat yourself as a human being? "

"you……"

Xu Cunren tore his face, pointed at Yang Xian and cursed, Yang Xian immediately blushed.

The important reason why he got up was that the monitoring of Li Wenzhong during his work with Li Wenzhong won Zhu Yuanzhang's favor.

The background of the inspector allowed him to gain the trust of the emperor, but he was also looked down upon by civil officials.

The Li Wenzhong incident also caused him to be at odds with officials from the Huaixi lineage.

That's why he got close to Liu Ji.

Now that Xu Cunren also exposed his scars, he immediately became angry from embarrassment.

"Okay, okay, okay..., then I won't persuade Mr. Xu, you should go on trial in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice..."

"Wait!"

Yang Xian's threat was interrupted by Xu Cunren, who pointed at Zhang Yi and said:
"This child is innocent, you shouldn't implicate him, His Majesty is also concerned about this child, and he is the direct descendant of Longhushan!
It is impossible for him to have anything to do with the pirate you mentioned..."

When Yang Xian was angry, how could he obey the other party's wishes?

What's more, he came here just for Zhang Yi.

Yang Xian sneered and said:
"This is not possible. I heard from the people below that there is a Taoist temple along the coast, and some Taoists and pirates communicate with each other. How do you know that Longhu Mountain is not connected with pirates?

I see, this child is close to you, maybe there is another purpose...

Keep them all, and review them carefully! "

Xu Cunren cursed:
"Yang Xian, you bastard, Kong Na, the eldest son of the Confucian family, is still the disciple of this old man, so you want to label him as a pirate?
Frame Zhongliang, you are not human..."

Deng Zhongxiu took a step forward, pointed at Yang Xian and cursed:

"The child is a Zhongshan wolf, and if he succeeds, he will be rampant..."

This poem was Yang Xian's biggest heartache. He became furious when he heard the words, and stepped forward to slap Deng Zhongxiu.

Snapped!
The slap fell on Xu Cunren's face. He was an old man, and he fell to the ground immediately.

Yang Xian couldn't hold back his anger, he raised his leg and kicked towards Xu Cunren, Xu Cunren grunted and was attacked by him.

Still not reconciled, he continued to kick.

Zhang Yi sighed, he couldn't stand on the sidelines anymore.

But how you save people, you have to pay attention.

When Mrs. Xu and the people in the criminal department were all stunned, Zhang Yi suddenly cried.

He shouted: "Teacher..."

The whole person ran over.

He was small and charged straight like a bullfighting bull, but just hit a ball.

Ah!
Yang Xian only felt severe pain in his lower body, and fell to the ground and rolled over.

The servants and officials of the Ministry of Punishment were all dumbfounded. What's going on?
"Take him..."

Yang Xian pointed at Zhang Yi, his face contorted.

Zhang Yi turned around and said:

"This prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, do you think that there is no inspection by His Majesty?"

These words seemed to have an inexplicable deterrent effect, which inexplicably frightened Yang Xian, the old prosecutor and prisoner of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

"Lock them up first..."

Yang Xian wanted to kill Zhang Yi, but he knew that it was not appropriate for him to command here.

Zhang Yi, Xu Cunren and others were locked up again.

Seeing that they were really frightened, Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

He really hoped that there really was a procurator in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but it should be unlikely.

The inspection scope of the inspection school is mainly those high-ranking officials, and Lao Zhu Yizhao, whether it is the inspection school or Jinyiwei, will not be overwhelmed.

"I'm tired of you..."

Xu Cunren breathed a sigh of relief and said softly.

Zhang Yi shook his head, this test has been passed, but after that, it will probably be uncomfortable.

……

Yang Xian clutched his crotch and limped out.

After being driven out, he bumped into Lao Zhang who had rushed to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

"Master Yang!"

"Zhang Zhenren!"

The two met on a narrow road. When Lao Zhang saw Yang Xian, he turned his head and bowed:

"It turned out to be Xiang Yang. The old Taoist heard that my son was brought to the Ministry of Criminal Justice by people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I wonder if there is a misunderstanding?"

When Yang Xian heard this, he didn't have a good face and said:
"Zhang Normal, the good son you taught, he is suspected of colluding with pirates and is under investigation..."

When Lao Zhang heard this, his face turned pale.

Zhang Yi had warned that the wind and rain in the hall would hurt people, but he didn't expect it to fall on him so soon.

When the matter came to an end, Zhang Normal realized that his reputation as a celestial master was far from that of an official.

"Is there some misunderstanding?" he asked.

Yang Xian ignored him and was about to leave.

Lao Zhang thumped and stopped in front of Yang Xian:

"Master Yang, there must be some misunderstanding here, my child is only eight years old!"

"Dare to attack the truth at the age of eight, Zhang normal, you raised a good son!"

Yang Xian was startled by Zhang Yi just now, but at this moment he finally recovered and took his anger out on Old Zhang.

Lao Zhang was completely dumbfounded, this kid is too fierce, dare to attack the imperial court official?

No, I have to save people...

He also didn't care about his own face, kneeling in front of Yang Xian:
"It's the fault of the son not teaching the father, the old Taoist is here to apologize to Mr. Yang!"

Yang Xian sneered when he heard the words, lowered his head, and said in Zhang Normal's ear:
"You'd better collect your son's body, he won't be able to leave tonight..."

His original intention was to scare old Zhang, but the words fell into Zhang normal's ears like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

Witnessing Yang Xian's smug face, Lao Zhang's blood rushed to his head.

He pulled Yang Xian down from his sleeve and punched him.

Everyone around was dumbfounded.

This real person hit someone too? (end of this chapter)
