King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

At dusk.

The whole hall was filled with sounds of rushing and roaring.

Facing a group of Linchuan officials who were desperate to kill Zhu Gaoxu and held him on his back.

Liu Feng, who stood in front of Zhu Gaoxu, ran towards the oncoming officials with a long sword in his hand and waved it away.

In an instant.

Throughout the hall, the sounds of charging, cursing, fighting, shouting, and wailing could be heard endlessly.

With the sound of such a sound, the pungent and disgusting smell of blood instantly filled the entire hall.

Then, the smell of blood filled the entire hall, and a group of soldiers poured in and rushed into the crowd.

As a result, many people resisted and tried to hold Zhu Gaoxu on his back, and many officials fell into a pool of blood in an instant.

As many people fell into a pool of blood, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air, the people who were originally in a desperate situation came to their senses instantly, and a lot of the anger in their hearts dissipated.

His mind, which was slowly going crazy and lost, was pulled back when he smelled the smell of blood.

Everyone who was originally furious and in desperate situation was frightened by the scene in front of them and froze on the spot. What's more, many people were stunned by their colleagues who fell in a pool of blood in front of them, mixed with the smell of blood. I couldn't help but arch my back in disgust and started to vomit.

This is the situation.

It can be said that compared to the act of righteous indignation and self-sacrifice just now, it is a completely different scene.

The officials of Linchuan Fucheng, who were originally rushing to attack and were furious, were reduced to a pile of soft-footed shrimps in a moment when faced with the Ming soldiers and Jin Yiwei armed with long knives and sharp blades, without any combat effectiveness.

This frightened everyone, and they immediately started crying for their parents and begging for mercy.

There is absolutely no so-called image at all.

And with the gestures of these officials, the soldiers and imperial guards who were about to fight directly were stunned on the spot.

After a while, the soldiers and the imperial guards recovered from their daze and wanted to continue their attack.

When these rebellious officials and traitors who were so bold and dared to do such disobedient things were put to death with the sword.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing on a high platform, saw this situation and stopped him:
"stop."

"Those who are killed by the sword will be left alive."

"Arrest them all, interrogate them harshly, and greet them harshly."

"Let these thieves live a little longer, and don't be in a hurry for this moment."

After hearing this, the soldiers and imperial guards who were about to continue slashing with their swords stopped the swords that had been raised high in the air or fell on the Linchuan officials.

Then, without any hesitation, the soldiers quickly put the swords in their hands into their scabbards and put them away.

Without even a moment's pause, a group of officials who were already paralyzed on the ground in shock were pulled up and escorted out of the hall in an orderly manner.

However, when he arrived in front of Duan Li, who was lying on the ground without saying a word, and he did not show any excessive or insane behavior during the riot, nor did he interact with the officials of Linchuan Prefecture who had lost their minds.

The official who was about to escort him could not help but be stunned, and then subconsciously looked in the direction of Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing on the high platform, with a little hesitation and doubt in his expression.

"Your Majesty!"

"How should we deal with this person in front of us?"

"Should we be taken down together with the former rebellious officials or traitors, or..."

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he couldn't help but cast his eyes on Duan Li, who was lying on the ground with his butt raised. His eyes narrowed, and a trace of doubt and curiosity flashed across his face.

Immediately, he waved his hand at the questioning soldier and said:
"He's...not in a hurry."

"Take the others down first."

After receiving the affirmative reply and the order, the soldiers were too lazy to waste time on Duan Li. Instead, they turned their attention to the others and helped their colleagues deal with the others.

Not long after.

The entire hall had been cleaned up by the joint efforts of the soldiers and the Jin Yiwei.

In the hall, which was originally crowded with people and bustling with people.

At this moment, it became extremely quiet, with only a few people left safely in the hall.

If it weren't for the faint pungent smell of blood still lingering in the air.

It is hard to believe that several people have already lost their lives here just now.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing on the high platform, saw the quiet hall restored. He looked around with half-closed eyes. Finally, his eyes fell on Duan Li, who was still prostrate on the ground and raised his buttocks to salute. The corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly, emerging. He smiled a little playfully and said:
"Duan Zhitong! Duan Zhitong!"

"sure!"

"Just now in the hall, so many things happened, so many people died, and you were able to remain indifferent and turn a blind eye. This move really surprised me."

"He doesn't look like a civil servant at all. On the contrary, in my heart, he is even worse than a military general."

Duan Li, whose name was called, listened to the ridicule and sarcasm in Zhu Gaoxu's words, slowly raised his head, and looked directly at Zhu Gaoxu who was standing on the high platform without hesitation, without any hint of retreat or cowardice, and said:

"Your Majesty is so complimentary."

"A low-ranking official is really a person waiting for a crime, but he cannot be worthy of the prince's evaluation."

"but……"

Having said this, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes became extremely deep. Then he looked straight at Zhu Gaoxu, changing the subject in vain, and there was a soul-stirring resentment in his body and expression. And anger suddenly rose from his slightly weak body, and he said in a deep voice:

"Prince Han!"

"I have something to ask you."

"The prince here just said that he came to the Zhang and Wang families to seek justice."

“It’s chilling for people who don’t want to support the measures that trust the imperial court.”

"Since the prince said so, the prince can make decisions for others, I wonder if the prince can also make decisions for the subordinates?"

"If the prince answers this matter, of course I will not let the prince help me in vain. I am also willing to use some things that the official has mastered in recent years or the people hidden behind me to tell the prince everything." ”

"I just don't know if your lord is willing to avenge the injustice of this official, so as to comfort the deceased who died due to injustice."

"My lord, are you willing?"

This statement came out.

Everyone in the field looked stunned.

Following Duan Li's words, everyone's eyes in the hall were completely focused on him, with disbelief on their faces.

what?
What the hell?
what's the situation?
numb!

Totally Muggle!

Duan Li, who can dominate Linchuan City and become a local emperor, also has grievances?
Are you sure you are not causing injustice to others?

And is it really his own?
This is this...

No matter how you look at it, it feels so unreal!

With Duan Li's methods and ability, who can make him feel wronged? If there is really an grievance, with Duan Li's power, can the person who caused the grievance still live until now, or can he get away with it?

It shouldn’t be!

Such words immediately aroused Zhu Gaoxu's interest. His half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and then the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he asked with a half-smile:

"To plead grievance for you?"

"Duan Zhitong, in recent years, the injustices caused by your hands and the dirty things you have done, even though you may have been wronged, compared to the grief you have caused others over the years, do you feel that you are the only one who can do it?" Are you qualified to ask this king to vindicate you?"

"Do you have anything that impresses me?"

"Hehehe"

"I do not deserve?"

"Didn't you impress the prince?"

After hearing this, Duan Li talked to himself as he felt the eyes on him.

Then, as if he remembered something, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. His face was full of ridicule and sarcasm, and he sneered:

"Prince of Han"

"Suppose I say that this injustice is the root of why I target the Zhang and Wang families?"

"I think the prince can also clearly feel that the power of the subordinates in Linchuan City, if they want to kill the Zhang and Wang families, there is absolutely no need to go to such trouble."

"The Zhang and Wang families could have been wiped out early. Why didn't Xiaguan do that? But he always left some room for them, leaving some hope for them, leaving them in a desperate situation and a quagmire of despair. Struggling hard, like a cat playing with a mouse.”

"Such a thing, doesn't Prince Han not want to know the twists and turns?"

"Or maybe the prince doesn't want to know why Xiaguan and the Zhang and Wang families are like this?"

"Since Prince Yi thinks that the subordinate officials are not worthy of the prince to redress my grievances, then the prince has come all the way to Linchuan Fucheng. Does the prince really think that the Zhang and Wang families are worthy of the prince to redress their grievances?"

"Hasn't the prince heard a word?"

"Whatever you sow, you will get what you get."

"Why doesn't the prince think that what happened to the Zhang and Wang families today is exactly the result of what they once planted?"

"Or, does the prince really think that everything Zhang and Wang did was true to the prince?"

"My lord."

"This is what I have said. If the prince still feels this way, I have nothing to say."

This statement came out.

throughout the hall.

Everyone is waiting to listen to Duan Liyan.

They all had expressions of disbelief and astonishment on their faces as they looked at Duan Li, who was kneeling on the ground with his back straight.

Then everyone unconsciously looked at Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan standing in the corner, and couldn't help but look slightly sideways.

what's the situation! !

Are there any unexplored entanglements and reasons hidden in the middle?

Suddenly, everyone's curiosity was completely aroused by Duan Li's words.

However, although everyone in the audience was very curious about this and wanted to know the reason, they also knew that this matter was not something they could decide, but it depended on Zhu Gaoxu's attitude.

Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to Zhu Gaoxu, waiting for his answer.

Feeling everyone's eyes focused on him, Zhu Gaoxu frowned subconsciously and looked around at the people who were looking at him. Wherever his eyes passed, those who looked at Zhu Gaoxu unconsciously lowered their heads and did not dare to talk to him. Look at each other.

"Interesting...interesting...it's getting more and more interesting!"

Zhu Gaoxu murmured in a low voice, his half-closed eyes suddenly opened, he looked straight at Duan Li who was looking at him, and then he snorted coldly:

"Okay!"

"Since you are not willing to give in, you want to say it."

"This king is not arbitrary or ignorant."

"I would rather give you a chance if I don't miss this little time."

"Listen to the gossip between you."

"Tell me about it!"

After hearing this.

Duan Li, who was kneeling on the ground, was startled, and a hint of excitement flashed across his face. Then he glanced fiercely at Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan who were standing not far away, and said in a deep voice:
"the reason is simple."

"The real reason why Xiaguan targeted the Zhang and Wang families was that Xiaguan's parents and family members all died at the hands of the Zhang and Wang families."

The words have not yet fallen.

Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan, who were standing aside with their heads lowered, suddenly raised their heads and looked at Duan Li in astonishment, staring at them fiercely.

Then, the two people came to their senses instantly, their expressions suddenly became extremely excited, and they shouted angrily:
"Asshole."

"Duan Li, don't be so rude as you are."

"I, the Zhang and Wang families, have been living in Linchuan Fucheng for decades. Our purpose has always been to be kind to others. Everyone in Linchuan Fucheng is full of praise, not to mention that I, the Zhang and Wang families, are great good people. , but it is absolutely impossible to do what you said.”

"Kill your Duan Li and his whole family?"

"This is absolutely impossible?"

"Besides, you, Duan Li, are not from Linchuan Fucheng. You are from outside the city and have come to serve in Sichuan Fucheng."

"I, a member of the Zhang and Wang families, had never even met or interacted with you Duan Li before you came to Sichuan Fucheng to take up the post. Moreover, I didn't even know where your hometown was. How could something possibly arise? Hatred.”

"How could you kill everyone in your family?"

After refuting Duan Li's words, Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan knelt straight down in the direction of Zhu Gaoxu and said in a deep voice:
"This matter."

"The words Duan Li said are actually nonsense and a bloody rant."

"I, Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan, can guarantee the lives of the whole family, including everyone from top to bottom. My family has never done anything like this."

"This is exactly what he wants to do. He wants to take the opportunity to recruit people from my family, Zhang and Wang, to support him."

"I beg you, Your Majesty, to learn from this."

"You can't believe Duan Li's nonsense."

Seeing Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan who were looking angry and risking their lives for the whole family, Zhu Gaoxu smiled noncommittally and did not make any statement. He turned to look at Duan Li who was kneeling on the ground and waited quietly. He is sophistical and curious about what kind of words he can say.

Duan Li, who was kneeling on the ground, took in the words and expressions of Zhang Ziming and Wang Yan in his heart.

Then, a sneer appeared on the slightly raised corner of his mouth, his face full of ridicule and coldness, and he said in a deep voice:
"What if my Duan family is originally from Linchuan Fucheng?"

"And the birthplace I registered in the past is all false?" (End of Chapter)
