Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 1021: Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless after being criticized

Mr. Hu's ideas are very cunning and somewhat immoral.

"Zhongba, look, didn't Wu Liang develop Li Si'er into a death warrior a long time ago?"

"Okay, he didn't contact me later, but when he arranged for someone to contact Li Si'er, the time, place and even the content of the conversation were all recorded!"

"In this case, it's not easy!"

"If we just fabricate some letters that imitate Wu Liang's handwriting or items that can be used to reveal his identity, wouldn't that implicate Wu Liang in this case?"

"We can even talk to the salt merchant and let him know how he got into this trap. Then he won't be able to find out what he has saved."

"With these two sides combined, I don't believe that Marquis Jiangyin can still turn the tables!"

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Master Hu as if he were an animal.

But facing Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Master Hu was happy to accept it and pretended it didn't exist. Instead, he leisurely took out two more pieces of glutinous rice cakes, put them on bamboo sticks, and slowly baked them.

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless when he saw how Master Hu was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He said unhappily.

"Weiyong, you are so skilled in this method. Could it be that you also handled government affairs in this way in your early years?"

"Also, if I remember correctly, those students you still keep in touch with are now local officials, right?"

"Could it be that you taught them to go to the court for questioning in this way?"

Master Hu turned his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise.

"No, Lao Zhu, do you think my arrangement is not good?"

"Besides, if this local official is really at my level, shouldn't you be happy?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he laughed. He simply pulled the small stool under his butt and squeezed next to Master Hu. He grabbed a piece of glutinous rice cake, held it over the fire and roasted it while speaking in a bad mood.

"You are clearly framing and slandering others, and you have the nerve to be so proud of it?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Hu sneered.

"Zhu Chongba, you have been the emperor for so long that you have probably forgotten the days when you were tormented by local corrupt officials when you were a child?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned black and he looked at Master Hu angrily.

But Master Hu looked calm. He spread his hands in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and spoke in a particularly proud tone.

"First, according to our previous surveillance records, this Li Si'er was indeed bribed by Jiangyin Marquis Wu Liang, and then placed in the hands of the salt merchant."

"Secondly, according to the Jinyiwei interrogation record that Jiang Yu handed over to you just now, Li Si'er's poisoning was also arranged by Wu Liang and then framed on the salt merchant."

"So, you and I both know that Wu Liang is guilty. His crimes are so heinous that he deserves death!"

"It's just that, according to the methods used by ordinary officials, there is no way to deal with him openly!"

"Then let's find a way to get rid of him, and get rid of him openly and honestly. Wouldn't that show that we are very skilled?"

"You know, Chongba, we didn't deliberately frame him. He actually committed the crime. We just tampered with the evidence to make it easier to convict him."

"We didn't frame him with other charges, nor did we threaten him by calling a black cat a white cat. Everything went smoothly, and the truth was finally revealed. What's wrong? Wasn't our method clever enough?"

"Then tell us a clever trick, come on!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pursed his lips tightly, took a few quick breaths, his nostrils flared, and his eyes were fixed on Master Hu.

This look is simply amazing!

But Master Hu didn't care at all. Instead, he tilted his head, squinted his eyes and spoke in a very asking for a beating.

"What's wrong?"

"If local officials can achieve my level, wouldn't it be unworthy of the title of Honest Official?" Zhu Yuanzhang's breathing became heavier.

But Master Hu is becoming more and more worthy of a beating.

"Don't you know?"

"Under normal circumstances, if a county magistrate can clarify the cause of the person who beat the drum to protest his injustice, he is basically qualified."

"It would be a great achievement if we could find out the guilt of the criminal."

"And if he can convict according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty instead of torture like us, he is definitely a great judge."

"Not only will the local people sing praises of him, but when this file is sent to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice, they will also be rewarded, okay?"

"Humph, you still have the nerve to say that my methods are not good enough?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's old face turned completely purple.

However, his back teeth were almost broken, but he still didn't know how to retort.

He opened his mouth and said "you, you, you" several times, but he didn't know how to continue.

Master Hu looked at Old Zhu, who looked like he was about to explode, and patted him on the shoulder kindly.

"Alright, Chongba, that's all!"

"As for the quality of Ming officials, there is no solution to this problem at least in the short term."

"real!"

"Think about it yourself. According to the standard I just mentioned, how many people in the Ming Dynasty do you think can sit in the court and find out the facts of the case of the person who filed the complaint?"

"Not to mention the interrogation of prisoners and the ability to detect details without using corporal punishment!"

“These are all real skills!”

"You can't force it!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he took a deep breath, lowered his head and looked at the glutinous rice cake in his hand that was emitting bursts of hot steam. He turned it over skillfully and said in a low voice.

"We just want the officials of the Ming Dynasty to do their jobs peacefully and take good care of the people we have entrusted to them. Why is it so difficult?"

"We have been poor before, and we know that when we encounter problems, we cannot go to the county government office."

"If it really comes to that, it will actually be a matter of life and death!"

"If money is lost, cattle are lost, land is occupied, etc., unless it is a life-threatening matter, who would have the courage to go to the government office?"

"But what about those officials? How did they do it?"

"Fooling around! Playing it safe! Being partial!"

"So let's go all out and kill!"

"I just don't believe it. If we keep killing people one after another and promoting people one after another, we won't be able to elect reliable officials, and we won't be able to elect officials who can take care of the people!"

"But even now, I am no longer the emperor, and I still haven't done it!"

"Weiyong, tell me, where did we go wrong?"

"Where, exactly, exactly, did we go wrong?"

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, who looked depressed and even had a choked voice, Master Hu sighed with disappointment.

"Your Majesty, your idea is good, but you are worshipping the wrong Buddha!" ​​(End of this chapter)
