King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 318 Ji Gang appears and Liu Wan is captured

In the main hall of the government office.

Zhu Gaoxu saw Duan Li kneeling on the ground, trembling, with panic in his expression. Duan Li was a little at a loss, hesitating and didn't know how to answer. He sneered "haha" and stared at him with half-squinted eyes. Looking at him, he turned and continued to ask:
"What?"

"Duan Zhitong, can it be that you can't handle just sending a letter or a sentence?"

"Or are you simply unwilling to do it for me?"

These meaningful words, coupled with the cold eyes, frightened Duan Li and he was immediately at a loss.

"I, my, your lord, I, this."

Zhu Di glanced at him coldly:
"What?"

"If you have anything to say or something to do, just say it directly. Don't make this king hesitate to speak."

"Of course. If you are unwilling to say it, or are unwilling to do it, then I will have to order someone to do it."

"When we are sent to prison, let Jin Yiwei greet them and see if they can still be as tough-talking as they are now."

Ji Gang, who entered, looked around subconsciously, and a hint of coldness appeared at the corners of his slightly raised mouth. Then he quickly walked directly to Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting on the high platform, and walked towards him with an extremely respectful expression. He bowed, then lowered his head and whispered in Zhu Gaoxu's ear:
"Report to the prince."

"However, the Zhang and Wang families are too vigilant."

"Do you really think this king has a good temper?"

结果
As soon as the principals of the Zhang and Wang families entered Linchuan Fucheng, they were forcibly imprisoned by Linchuan Fucheng officials on various trumped-up charges. The whole family was thrown into jail and became the prisoners of others. , one level is such a long period of time.

After all, the Jin Yiwei who entered Linchuan Fucheng first had already passed some of the experiences of the Zhang and Wang families to him in letters.

"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you, Prince Han, to go and meet these people. After all, you showed up when the refined salt was auctioned."

He could understand the reactions of the Zhang and Wang families from the bottom of his heart.

"If nothing else happens, Ji Gang and others should be back soon, right?"

Duan Li, who was kneeling on the ground, was really panicking at this moment.

"so."

Remember that they held on to their last glimmer of hope and sent a message to the person in charge of delivering the salt when they were receiving it. This was a dead horse being treated as a living horse.

Just at this moment, the atmosphere was a little dull and a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded in the government office.

In the end, the note was finally sent out, but overtly and covertly, they heard that the people responsible for monitoring and guarding them, Li and Yuan, communicated with the person responsible for delivering the new salt, promising huge profits, and beware of him interfering with it.

He hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer this question.

"The heads of the Zhang and Wang families must have met you once, and I think they must have an impression of the prince."

Naturally, I also know what kind of life the two families lived in Linchuan City, what kind of suppression and abuse they suffered
Originally, as a veteran businessman in Linchuan Fucheng, his business was in full swing. However, due to the collusion between officials and businessmen, his business and the prestige in Linchuan Fucheng disappeared in an instant. He also became submissive in doing things. Because of this, One of his own mistakes could bring disaster to his family.

"Let's see how long these bastards can hold on."

"This matter. I want these two families to believe that we are not someone else's pawn in Linchuan, or the person behind the scenes."

Otherwise, with Zhu Gaoxu's character and the fact that he already had some evidence, he would have captured all these people in front of him and put them in jail for trial.

blah blah blah...

If it were not for the original auction of refined salt, Zhu Gaoxu had a whimsical idea that the refined salt must be the person in charge of the auction and sign and pledge before it can be delivered.

"Moreover, after I seized control of the entire Linchuan City just now, I was worried about the safety of the Zhang and Wang families who were being escorted in Zhao Prison, so I made a special trip to Zhao Prison to understand some of the situation with them."

The news they conveyed will never leave Linchuan Mansion.

"Now, all the soldiers guarding the entire clinical city, as well as the forces that can affect our safety, have been controlled by us. Linchuan Mansion is already in the hands of the prince."

"Even if I took out all my personal cards, they still didn't believe me. I'm afraid they thought I was from Linchuan Fucheng and kept silent about the whole Linchuan Fucheng matter. Ask about the situation you don’t know.”

The rest of the words were not finished.

Let the two families stop wasting their efforts and struggling in vain and just give up.

say what.
Know the content of their message.

The Zhang and Wang families knew very well that there was no way they could survive that long.

During this period, the court seemed to have forgotten them, doing nothing and no one to redress their grievances.

Finally, due to the propaganda of the royal family, anyone who purchased the right to sell refined salt would be an 'imperial merchant' and would be protected by the imperial court.

Then, Zhu Gaoxu calculated in his mind the time it would take Ji Gang and others to arrange and do the things they did, and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice:

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer..."

However, to be on the safe side, Zhu Gaoxu did not break his skin and pretended to be confused. He played games with Duan Li and cooperated with him in his nonsense.

"We'll do it when Ji Gang comes back, or when he gets the exact news."

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Duan Li who was kneeling on the ground, looking very embarrassed, and saw that he had never spoken. He knew that he was afraid that he would not hear the truth from his mouth, let alone that he could explain it honestly.

When the Zhang and Wang families were finally escorted back to the dark prison, two groups of people, the Li and Yuan families and Liu Wan, tried to deceive them.

Zhu Gaoxu never felt anything wrong with this, or felt any discomfort or discomfort.

A moment later, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Guards Ji Gang hurried in from outside.

But everyone is not a fool, and they can naturally understand what Ji Gang means.

At the same time, five of the people arrested by Zhang and Wang were each selected and tortured to death in front of the two families. Those who were later tortured to death were accused of committing suicide out of fear of crime.

After that, he asked them to think clearly whether they wanted to live or die.
I also thought that Zhang and Wang's family were first offenders, so I gave them one last chance.

However, everyone knew tacitly that the so-called opportunity was just an excuse to keep the two families silent because they knew they were still useful.

But it is better to die than live.

As long as you are alive, there is hope.

So regarding the above-mentioned things that happened, Ji Gang hurriedly ran to the imperial prison to understand the situation, but the real reason why he failed in front of the Zhang and Wang families.

Because I have encountered so many things and been tempted so many times inside and out.

The Zhang and Wang families had already become frightened birds.

Moreover, he was not familiar with Ji Gang and had not even met him once. With just a waist card, it was impossible for others to believe Ji Gang's identity. After all, this matter involved the wealth and life of a whole family!
After pondering briefly for a moment, Zhu Gaoxu chinned his head and whispered back:
"I understand." "Is there anything else?"

"Just now, Judge Liu Wan heard from Duan Zhitong that he would prepare a place for us to stay and prepare fine wine and delicacies for us to take care of ourselves."

"But I feel that the sudden disappearance of Tongjuan Liu Wan is definitely not simple. There could be some conspiracy that is unknown to us."

"I don't know his whereabouts. Will the people below find out."

"If you don't find out, please pass on the order and find me the general judge Liu Wan as soon as possible. Pay close attention to him to see what he is doing."

After hearing this, Ji Gang seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly became extremely strange and strange. He couldn't help but grinned, sneered "haha" and replied:

"Prince of Han"

"This matter is really true. His eyes are as sharp as pearls and his predictions are like those of a god."

"Liu Wan is really not a good thing, and he really didn't mean to prepare a place for me to stay and a banquet to welcome the wind and wash away the dust."

"If nothing else, he must have been unsure about the arrival of our big guys, so after returning to Linchuan Fucheng, the first thing he did was to go to the imperial prison in order to imprison the Zhang and Wang families in the imperial prison. Everyone will be silenced."

"But because we entered the city before them and have secretly controlled the prison."

"As a result, Liu Wan was directly pressed down by the person we arranged to guard before he could take action."

"When Wei Chen went there, he happened to see that scene. In order to come back as soon as possible, he did not have time to go to trial. Now he is being escorted by his subordinates to wait at the door, waiting for your instructions."

As soon as he said this, Zhu Gaoxu's expression suddenly became particularly exciting.

Hey. This is really just what you think about. I will give you a pillow when you feel sleepy.

but
Listening to Ji Gang in front of him, he said that the place where Liu Wan was detained and captured was in the imperial prison.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help frowning, and he probably had a guess in his mind as to Liu Wan's purpose of going to the prison.

If nothing unexpected happens.

Liu Wan's purpose in going to Zhao Prison was probably that he would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go. He wanted to kill everyone who was imprisoned in Zhang and Wang's prison before he launched an attack. In this way, there will be no evidence to prove the death, and all kinds of shit basins can be slammed on the heads of the two families. It can also be used as an opportunity to completely clear the suspicions on himself and others.

Even if he, Zhu Gaoxu, came to Sichuan Fucheng, he did not make it clear, nor did he give any clear clues.

These individuals can do this.

have to say.

He is really ruthless and decisive.

But these officials in Linchuan Prefecture never dreamed that they could actually be one step ahead of them and have firmly grasped the power of the prison and even the entire Linchuan Prefecture in their own hands.

Let these personal little plans be aborted before they are implemented.

After a brief moment of silence, Zhu Gaoxu came back to his senses, glanced meaningfully at Duan Li who was kneeling on the ground with half-closed eyes, met Duan Li's subconscious glance back, smiled noncommittally, and turned to face Zhu Ji Gang waved his hand and said:

"In that case."

"Then let's go take a look at the Zhang and Wang families first."

"Thinking about it for so many years, the Zhang and Wang families have been confronting and fighting against the Li and Yuan families, and even all the officials in Linchuan City, to protect their main business."

"As the saying goes: The person who knows you best can only be your enemy."

"We have been fighting each other secretly for so many years. I can guarantee 100% that the principals of the Zhang and Wang families definitely have criminal evidence related to the Li and Yuan families, as well as the officials involved in the entire Linchuan City. The evidence and evidence are there.”

"I think Zhang and Wang have some doubts about your identity, but fortunately they have met me once. I think if I am in charge, I will definitely dispel their concerns and cooperate with us honestly. Dig out all the moths in Linchuan City and wipe them out in one fell swoop.”

Ji Gang, who was waiting quietly, was stunned after hearing this.

Then, his eyes couldn't help but subconsciously turn to look at the ministers and various officials kneeling on the ground.

"My lord."

"This, this, this"

"Is it really convenient for you to leave?"

"After all, there are so many people waiting for us?"

While speaking, Ji Gang looked at Zhu Gaoxu without any trace, and showed his head to the Linchuan Fucheng who were kneeling on the ground.

……

Compared with Zhu Gaoxu and Ji Gang who were whispering on the high platform, their behavior and expressions changed from the past to the present.

In an instant, he fell into everyone's eyes.

Suddenly, the originally depressing atmosphere became even colder and harsher.

At the same time, the officials in Linchuan Prefecture in the audience became even more indignant as the atmosphere changed.

At this moment, everyone's hearts were completely empty of confidence.

Full of incomparable anxiety and uneasiness.

After all, Ji Gang's identity is there. Everyone understood it when he was introduced to him at the inn.

It is the most ruthless and intimidating person in the imperial court today. No one knows what he has communicated with Zhu Gaoxu and what he has said.

As the saying goes: The unknown is what really scares people.

And sometimes when there are ghosts in mind, this is simply a rhythm that doubles the "happiness".

"You guys, Haosheng, rest in the government office and wait for me for a while."

"My king is in a hurry. Please go and come back as soon as possible."

I wonder if you have any objections?

Seeing everyone in the audience, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly stood up from his chair and ordered loudly?
As soon as the words fell, the officials of Linchuan City who were kneeling on the ground and lost in thought instantly came back to their senses, and subconsciously focused their gazes on Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting on the high platform, as if he wanted to speak. Stopping again.

That's the current situation.

Zhu Gaoxu raised his eyebrows, glanced at Duan Li, the leader of the ministers, with hooked eyes, and said with a faint smile:
"how?"

"Do you have any opinions?"
