Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 266 If you use a little more strength, it will be very difficult for me (please subscribe!!)
  "Nephew Ouyang Xian, you are so ruthless this time! The third child and I were shocked!"

"If the third child and I hadn't persuaded you, you wouldn't have really wanted to kill the three of them!"

Tang He muttered while enjoying the massage from the beautiful technician.

Hearing this, Ouyang Lun said with some displeasure: "Second uncle, I don't know you yet, and you and third uncle don't have a good impression of the three of them, especially Zhou Dexing, who was originally a general under you and third uncle. Now You two are completely indifferent to me. If you don’t teach such a person a lesson, you will have to deal with it in the future!"

"Look, you finally admitted that it was you who arranged for the people of Peiping to arrest the three of them and burn them alive to sacrifice to heaven!" Tang He started to do it directly and said excitedly.

Ouyang Lun smiled slightly and waved his hand, "Second uncle, calm down!"

"When did I say it was arranged? Whether it was arresting people or tying the three of them to the fire, it was a spontaneous act by the people and had nothing to do with me, Ouyang Lun. Others may not believe me, but I But you two are witnesses!"

"Uh." After hearing what Ouyang Lun said, Tang He lay down again, "You are really cunning. After a few operations, you not only saved the sweet potato, but also gave Zhou Dexing and the other three a hard lesson. The key is to take you." There is no way!”

"I must be more careful when following you from now on."

Xu Da thought for a moment and asked in a deep voice: "Nephew Ouyang, does the disappearance of Zhou Zhen, the Minister of Punishment, really have nothing to do with you?"

Forehead.
  Ouyang Lun frowned, "Third uncle, you are going too far. When Zhou Zhen came to Peiping, except for meeting him once, I spent most of the time outside playing. You all know other things. Zhen and I It’s okay to be stupid.”

"Speaking of Zhou Zhen, it's really strange. He has disappeared for so long. The Jin Yiwei and various forces in the government are looking for him. There is no news at all, but his body cannot be found. This has almost become a major unsolved case in the Ming Dynasty. ." Tang He muttered.

"This Zhou Zhen is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the imperial envoy sent by His Majesty to Beizhili. If he is not found one day, ministers will use this as an excuse to continuously attack Beizhili." Xu Da looked at Ouyang Lun thoughtfully, "If Ouyang is Nephew, if you have any ideas, you can tell me. After all, it will be good for you to find Zhou Zhen."

"Your Majesty has no intention of pursuing the matter any further."

Tang He continued: "Yes, because of the conquest of Yunnan, Li Shanchang and Lan Yu took the opportunity to put pressure on His Majesty, demanding severe punishment for you, a traitor, but His Majesty withstood the pressure to protect you. It was obviously Brother Ma who played the role. Yes, whether it’s your business with the prairie people or the rumors about the three of us, His Majesty will accept it secretly.”

"As long as Zhou Zhen is found, this matter will be over."

Hearing this, Ouyang Lun looked at Xu Da and Tang He with some surprise, smiled and asked: "Second uncle, third uncle, you two are persuading me like this today, why do you feel that you two want to find this person more than me?" Zhou Zhen!"

Hearing Ouyang Lun say this.

Tang He and Xu Da looked at each other, and then Tang He said: "To tell you the truth, in the letter His Majesty wrote to me before, in addition to marrying the Chita tribe and keeping an eye on you, he also told us Two things, that is, we must find Zhou Zhen, the Minister of Punishment!"

Xu Da nodded, "Zhou Zhen is the Minister of Justice of the Ming Dynasty after all. If he keeps missing like this, he will lose the face of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Nephew Ouyang Xian, if you have any news, please tell us."

Ouyang Lun shook his head, "Uncles, I didn't mean not to tell you. I really don't know. I didn't care about it at all during this time."

"But since you haven't found it in Beizhili, why don't you expand the scope a little bit?"

Tang He said helplessly: "We have expanded the scope. We have sent people to Shandong and Shanxi to search, and even went to Liaodong, but there is still no news."

"No. The expanded scope I mentioned also includes the grassland! Haven't you sent anyone to the grassland to check it yet?" Ouyang Lun asked in surprise.

"grassland!?"

Tang He and Xu Da were stunned for a moment, then shook their heads.

"Nephew Ouyang Xian, how can Zhou Zhen go to the grassland this time? First of all, all borders are strictly controlled. Now that the brand-new Great Wall stands on the border, no one will be able to read it." Xu Da said firmly.

"Yes, the screening at the border is the most stringent. Besides, why would the grassland people tie up a minister of the Ministry of Justice for nothing?" Tang He was also full of doubts about Ouyang Lun's guess.

Hearing this, Ouyang Lun smiled and said, "Second uncle, third uncle, maybe I can figure out why you haven't found Zhou Zhen yet."

"what reason?"

"There is a blind spot in your field of vision. This blind spot is the grassland. I don't know whether I should praise you for your confidence? Or call you stupid!"

Tang He:.
  Xu Da:.
  Ouyang Lun ignored the ugly expressions on Tang He and Xu Da's faces, but continued: "Although the Great Wall has been repaired as a whole when Zhou Zhen disappeared, there are still many unattended places. If you want to sneak across, There is no problem at all. The government has received several reports saying that people have been trafficked. After investigation by the government, it was found that there is indeed a group of people engaged in the dirty business of trafficking people into the grassland. Of course, this group has been eliminated by the government, but before It is impossible to thoroughly investigate how many people they have kidnapped. After all, in addition to ordinary people, they also kidnapped and trafficked beggars. Even they themselves did not know the names of these beggars, and they all sold them like animals."

"According to my inference, Zhou Zhen has probably been trafficked to the grassland."

As soon as this word comes out.

Tang He and Xu Da suddenly realized.

"Nephew Ouyang Xian, when you say that, we really went in the wrong direction from the beginning!"

"After spending so much time and effort, we even went in the wrong direction. No wonder we can't find anyone!"

"Nephew Ouyang Xian, tell me quickly, which tribe Zhou Zhen was sold to this time?"

Ouyang Lun rolled his eyes, "Second uncle, third uncle, you two think too highly of me. The grassland is so big and it doesn't belong to my family. How do I know which tribe he was sold to?"

"What I just said is just my personal analysis. The main reason is that I really can't bear to see you looking around like a headless fly."

"Also, you can definitely go to Jinyiwei for this matter! They specialize in intelligence. Now that they are in the right direction, won't it be an easy task for them to find Zhou Zhen?"

Tang He patted his head and said, "Oh, look at our brains. Jin Yiwei has arranged so many people on the grassland. It's the fastest way for them to find someone!"

Xu Da sat up from the bed without saying a word and started to get dressed.

"Hey, Third Uncle, the massage time hasn't come yet, what are you doing?" Ouyang Lun asked quickly.

Xu Da: "Nephew Ouyang, I think you are right. Zhou Zhen is probably in a certain tribe on the grassland. I will go find Jin Yiwei now!"

After saying that, Xu Da walked away.

Tang He also stood up, put on his clothes, and left with Xu Da.

Seeing that Xu Da, Tang He and the others were gone, Ouyang Lun was not affected at all. Instead, he waved to the other two beautiful technicians, "Since they are all gone, you two will also come here. Give me one of the three." People press!”

"Try it harder, it will be very difficult for me."

"Yes, my lord."

Soon, an extremely comfortable cry came from the VIP room.

Beijing.

As Zhou Dexing, Lu Chang, Song Lian, and Guo Zi returned to Beijing in embarrassment, the next second the news that the three people were almost burned alive by the people of Peiping spread quickly in the capital.

the next day.

Zhou Dexing, Lu Chang, Song Lian and Guo Zi appeared in the court on time.

Zhou Dexing originally had a thick beard, but on the fire in Peking, his beard was completely burned, so he had no choice but to shave it off. Song Lian and Lu Chang were coughing constantly. It was obvious that although they were not burned to death, they were still choked by the soot.

The other people in the Taiji Hall also looked at the four of them with strange eyes.

Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang strode up to the throne.

"Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty!" All the officials saluted Zhu Yuanzhang one after another.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the ministers in the court, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and asked expectantly: "The four beloved ministers have come back from Beizhili so quickly. They must have brought me good news. Can you please come out and tell me?" ah!"

As soon as this word comes out.

Zhou Dexing walked straight out of the queue and then knelt down in the main hall.

The sound of the knee hitting the ground is really loud!
  This made all the civil and military officials in the court stunned.

It looks like he is going to participate in the concert! It's just that even if you want to participate in Ouyang Lun's performance, you have to kneel down so hard. This must be how wronged you have been in Beizhili!

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect Zhou Dexing to be like this, and he couldn't help being stunned.

"Dexing, if you have any grievances, just tell the truth!"

Hearing this, Zhou Dexing could no longer hold back and wailed directly: "Your Majesty! You have to make the decision for me!!"

Zhou Dexing was the founding father of the country and is now the Minister of War. He can be said to be one of the most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, he would be crying in the court like this today. This surprised the officials. At the same time, Zhou Dexing was The experience of Beizhili is also very curious.

"Dexing, what's going on? Didn't I ask you to go to Beizhili to confirm the "sweet potato" issue? Did something happen? And why is your beard gone?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"His Majesty!"

"I, Sir Song, Sir Lu, and Sir Guo went to Beizhili under your order to investigate the 'Sweet Potato'. However, we were beaten by the people of Peiping, and they were even arrested and wanted to burn us alive. My beard That’s when it was burned!”

hiss--

Hearing Zhou Dexing's words, all the officials in the court took a deep breath.

They originally guessed that Zhou Dexing had been wronged, but they never thought that this was not only wronged, but that he almost lost his life.

Many officials also looked at Song Lian, Lu Chang, and Guo Zi. Except for Guo Zi, there was nothing unusual. Song Lian and Lu Chang both had some bruises on their faces. It was obvious that they had been attacked.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his face looked very ugly at the moment.

"The people of Peiping are so bold? Not only beating the court officials, but also burning you to death!?" Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.

Zhou Dexing continued to wail: "Your Majesty, the most hateful thing is not the people of Peiping, they are just bewitched and used by Ouyang Lun and his associates!"

"I am going to play Consort Ouyang Lun today!"

"In order not to hand over the sweet potatoes, he encouraged the people of Beiping to besiege the imperial officials!"

"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me!"

After saying that, Zhou Dexing banged his head several times at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Um! ?

Was Ouyang Lun behind this incident?
  If so, the problem is even bigger.

Instructing the people to besiege the court ministers was a slap in the face to Zhu Yuanzhang!
  Zhu Yuanzhang felt angry in his heart, but he did not lose his mind and could not just listen to the Zhou Dexing family.

brush--

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly glanced at Song Lian, Lu Chang, and Guo Zi, and asked in a deep voice: "You three went with Zhou Dexing, is what he said the truth?"

Hear Zhu Yuanzhang's question.

Song Lian and Lu Chang were quite hesitant. Although they were almost burned to death, Ouyang Lun came to save them in the end. They really couldn't add insult to injury and retaliate, but it was not easy to offend Zhou Dexing at this time. After all, Zhou Dexing Now represents the Huaixi Party.

Seeing that Song and Lu didn't speak, Guo Zi had no choice but to stand up.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not as simple as Mr. Zhou said!"

"Oh!"

Zhu Yuanzhang softened his tone slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Guo Zi, tell me everything you know!"

"Yes!"

Guo Zi then told the truth about what happened to the four of them after they arrived in Peking, including Ouyang Lun's warm welcome, the food arrangements, Zhou Dexing's forcible taking away all the sweet potatoes, etc.

The whole salary remarks were very fair and detailed, completely different from Zhou Dexing's emotional accusations.

"Guo Zi, so the people tied up Zhou Dexing and the other three because the people knew you were going to take away all the sweet potatoes?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

Guo Zi nodded, "Yes, the sweet potatoes stored in the crypt are the sweet potato seeds for the coming year and the hope of the people. If they are all taken away, there will be no sweet potatoes to plant in the entire Beizhili!"

"The people then surrounded us!"

"In the end, Ouyang Lun, Tang He, and Xu Da arrived in time and saved you from the hands of the people?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.

Guo Zi nodded again, "Yes, if Ouyang Prince Consort and the others hadn't arrived, perhaps Mr. Zhou and the others would have been burned alive."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Guo Zi's questions and answers completely allowed hundreds of officials in the court to see the truth clearly.

brush-

A series of disdainful eyes fell on Zhou Dexing who was kneeling on the ground.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless when he looked at Zhou Dexing.

Although Ouyang Lun is a bit of a bastard.

But he is my son-in-law, the chief envoy of Northern Zhili, and a major contributor to the doubling of Ming Dynasty's tax revenue. Sweet potatoes were also cultivated by others. You, Zhou Dexing, are so tough to take away all the sweet potatoes!

You, Zhou Dexing, are more reckless than me. If you don’t burn, who will you burn? !
