King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Ma Wensheng naturally agreed to cooperate, and immediately called in three hundred soldiers, led by Zhu Tan.

Zhu Tan and several servants around him, less than four hundred people, walked out of the tent.

The newly built mansion of General Jiang Lun is far away from the Fifth Camp.

After walking for an incense stick of time, Zhu Tan and others arrived at a rather conspicuous courtyard.

What was out of place? There were some dilapidated houses all around, with no tiles on the roof and the walls leaking.

He also saw the newly built mansion that had not yet been completed. Although it was not as good as Li Guang's mansion and Changbo's mansion, it was better than Ma Wensheng's.

Hundreds of soldiers were standing at the gate of the yard. Among them was a middle-aged man in a bright red official uniform, who was busy in the yard.

"Wait, be careful, this door is made of gold. If it is scratched, it will be fatal."

That shrill voice clearly belongs to a eunuch.

Zhu Tan's mouth moved. The house was built in an ordinary way, but this door was very good, even better than their main door!

"Brother, go ask him."

If Zhu Tan didn't come out in person, would he, as the commander-in-chief of the Jianchang Marquis's mansion, have any shame? That's why he let Ma Cong, the president, take charge of the situation.

Ma Cong was glared at by his father Ma Wensheng and was frightened. At this moment, he finally came to his senses and realized that he was an official.

Regardless of whether he is a worshipper or not, he is a sixth-rank official, and that is genuine.

Ma Congqing said, "Stop it, stop it. The Fifth Army Camp has called for the troops to gather. Why aren't you leaving? Who is Jiang Lun, the food keeper? Answer my question."

Zhu Tan and others made a lot of noise, so the people who were building the house naturally saw it.

However, Jiang Lun did not care about this. Although he was just a small official, the former commander-in-chief Luo Zhao was his adoptive father and was quite powerful in the palace. He was not afraid of him!

Jiang Lun glanced at him and sneered, "Who accidentally let you run here? You didn't even ask who we are and why we came to rally the generals? What does this have to do with us?"

Ma Cong was speechless and said, "Yes, it is true. According to regulations, the Imperial Household Department is not subject to military regulations."

Jiang Lun didn't know what to say, but he was Ma Wensheng's son after all, so he quickly reacted and said, "The emperor ordered the army to patrol, and as the grain supervisor, you naturally have to go and count the grain in person. This matter has nothing to do with you."

Jiang Lun sneered again.

"You are just an ordinary person. I don't want to waste time talking to you. Get out of here right now and don't bother me to open the door. If you are late, I will break your legs for you."

The reason why Jiang Lun was so arrogant was because Zhu Tan was right behind his servant and did not appear.

Seeing that Jiang Lun, the chief eunuch, was so arrogant and domineering, Chu Mu finally had an excuse.

He pushed the servant away and cursed at Jiang Lun: "You damned little bastard, how dare you say that I fell off my pants? You really don't know your place. Break his arms and legs!"

Jiang Lun suddenly saw a young man wearing a first-rank official robe. He was slightly startled, but then he recognized him. This man was the current emperor's uncle, Earl Jianchang.

"Oh, it's Marquis Jianchang."

Before Jiang Lun could finish his words, Zhu Tan's servants rushed up and beat him with fists and kicks, making Jiang Lun cry loudly.

Jiang Lun was a member of the imperial palace and a grain officer in charge of the five major camps, so his status was extraordinary.

Even the generals of the five major camps had to smile when they saw him. His status in the army was almost unmatched.

But now, this man who was usually regarded as unattainable by them was beaten black and blue, and even one of his thighs was broken. All the soldiers were stunned.

Ma Cong was also stunned, but he did not forget his mission and ordered the soldiers around him: "Come here, call all the soldiers working nearby. How can you, the army of the Ming Dynasty, build a house on the mansion of a eunuch? How can you do that?"

Jiang Lun was beaten to death, and Zhu Tan ordered his servants to stop.

Jiang Lun was beaten black and blue, but he still begged for mercy, "Lord Jianchang, I didn't offend you! Please, let me go..."

Zhu Tan kicked Jiang Lun to the ground and curled his lips: "Search for me, I suspect he is eating alone."

When Zhu Tan's strong servants heard this, they knew what they were going to do - confiscate their property! They were almost used to it!

Ma Cong gathered the soldiers who came to repair the house as if he was driving a flock of sheep, and then found a large amount of gold and valuables in Jiang Lun's mansion.

The strangest thing is that there is a woman inside.

Zhang Wei is not here today. The servants are headed by Jia Zhang, who was originally a well-known gangster on the street. Later, he was "recruited" by Jianchang Bo and became the number one figure under Chu Tianxian, and Zhang Wei's right-hand man.

Before, he had a fierce battle with Zhou Yu's servants. Jia Zhang defeated all six servants of the Zhou family by himself.

This guy has a ferocious face. If he were in modern times, he would be wearing a black suit and a pair of glasses, and he would have a gangster vibe wherever he went.

Jia Zhang looked ferocious, but in front of Chu Mu, he was like a docile little orange cat. He said honestly, "Master, we found 4000 taels of silver, and the rest of the stuff added up to or taels of silver."

The people in charge of grain alone could get two or three hundred thousand taels of silver. Chu Mu could guess this number, but he was more interested in those women.

"and then?"

Jia Zhang sneered, "They are all Jiang Lun's family members and wives. Some are daughters of soldiers, some were purchased from brothels, and one was kidnapped."

Zhu Tan also sneered repeatedly. A small eunuch, instead of enjoying the delicious food, actually wanted to take concubines and abduct women.

What the hell kind of weapon do you have?

"Pack up, take this guy and the others away, we need to report this matter to Lord Ma Shang."

As soon as Zhu Tan finished speaking, Jiang Lun was dragged away like a dead dog, with a few drops of blood remaining on the ground.

The women and the golden title deed were also taken away by them. The soldiers who came to repair Jiang Lun's mansion looked like they were eager to watch the show and could not wait to see it through.

The generals and sergeants in the fifth camp were not surprised that Ma Wensheng took over the fifth camp.

If the soldiers need food, they must be under the control of the soldiers. However, when Ma Wensheng said that he wanted to deal with Jiang Lun, the officer in charge of food, the officers did not take it seriously.

After all, in the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs had a very high status.

Even the ministers in the court did not say that they would fight the eunuchs to the death. Sometimes, they still needed their cooperation!

The generals were waiting to see the show, waiting to see Ma Wensheng make a fool of himself.

They saw with their own eyes that Jiang Lun, the usually arrogant and domineering grain manager, was dragged over like a dead dog. Now he was already dying, and his life or death was uncertain!

Ma Wensheng was also a little confused. He asked Zhu Tan to come here, and asked Zhu Tan to bring Jiang Lun here, so why was he dragged here?

He wanted to send the eunuchs back, but he didn't say he wanted to kill them!

On the way back, Zhu Tan reminded Ma Cong.

So Ma Cong returned to his father, the minister, bowed, and said loudly: "The eunuch Jiang Lun, who supervised the grain, sold the grain privately, embezzled property, and embezzled property, totaling 38,000 taels. He withheld soldiers and made them work for him, with more than 400 people, and purchased real estate and took them as concubines."

Ma Cong's words made Ma Wensheng's beard almost stand up to the sky.

He wanted to use Zhu Tan, the emperor's uncle, as a knife and a shield, but, okay! The emperor's uncle used his own child as a knife.

This uncle must have done this on purpose! The Lord City Lord's mind is really complicated, and he, a fool, is still complacent here, which is really stupid.

However, it is undeniable that Zhu Tan did it very cleanly and methodically, and he was caught red-handed.

Ma Wensheng kicked the football to the ground without any hesitation.

He immediately ordered people to fetch the military account and to count the food and grass. Not long after, the amount of money Jiang Lun had embezzled was discovered, and it matched the property he had collected.

Ma Wensheng asked someone to take the woman in the family home.

Fortunately, Jiang Lun is a eunuch and will not destroy other people's chastity, so there will be no problem if he marries someone else.

Some of the women from military families were forced to marry Jiang Lun, while others married Jiang Lun voluntarily in order to gain some benefits from him.

Moreover, Jiang Lun couldn't keep it all for himself, so several low-level officials were arrested.

Besides, Jiang Lun still has very high standards.

The girl he abducted was pretty and had a great figure. She looked as if she was about to cry, which made her even more pitiful.

The matter was already at hand, but Ma Wensheng was somewhat troubled as to how to deal with Jiang Lun.

He is the Minister of War and is in charge of the entire Ministry of War.

However, Jiang Lun was not a general, he was a eunuch in the palace and was under the jurisdiction of the emperor!
Seeing that Jiang Lun had been beaten beyond recognition, Ma Wensheng cleared his throat and asked Zhu Tan, "Master Zhang, do you want to report to the eunuch in the palace? He is just a eunuch at best."

He felt this was a good opportunity to make amends.

"Minister Ma, what you said is wrong. We have already investigated the crime committed by Jiang Lun, and he should be punished according to the law. Isn't he just an official in charge of grain? The grain belongs to him. If we don't kill him, how can it serve as a warning? You guys, cut off his head and hang it on a pillar to serve as a warning to others."

Everything Jiang Lun did was enough to get him beheaded eight times, and being beheaded was a matter of course.

However, rules are rules, and neither Ma Wensheng nor the five major camps have the right to punish him. But now that Chu Mu is here, he tries to excuse himself while feeling disgusted with Jiang Lun.

Therefore, when he was speaking, the generals did not respond at all. Jia Zhang, Zhang Laoliu and others immediately took action under Zhu Tan's order.

The two men were not professional killers, nor did they have kitchen knives in their hands. They just took out a sharp dagger and slowly chopped off Jiang Lun's head as if they were slaughtering a chicken.

Jiang Lun’s tragic death made everyone sweat.

Jia Zhang handed Jiang Lun's head to Zhu Tan.

There was silence.

Those generals were the elite of the army, experienced in many battles, but the person they beheaded was a chamberlain and eunuch of high rank. How could he be killed just like that?
Ma Wensheng and others all looked at Jiang Lun's head.

Ma Cong blinked and suddenly felt a little nauseous, with an urge to vomit.

Zhu Tan, however, covered his nostrils as if nothing had happened, and said, "It stinks. Quick, hang it on the pillar over there so that everyone in the five camps can see it. This is the consequence of bullying your master."

Zhu Tan was very familiar with raising the banner and directly described Jiang Lun's death as a crime of deceiving the emperor.

This is a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan.

Ma Wensheng was also the first to come to his senses. He was also a well-known figure in the Beijing army. Although he had never experienced such a bloody thing, that time was much more tragic!
Ma Wensheng interrupted Zhu Tan and said loudly, "What the Earl of Jianchang said is absolutely right. Jiang Lun, the chief eunuch and grain supervisor, deserves death. You should take this as a warning. I will give you two sticks of incense to count the military equipment accounts."

Those generals and commanders who had originally been waiting to watch the show were now covered in cold sweats.

Jiang Lun took over the army and treated the soldiers as his slaves.

Those generals all did this! They also knew that they were just waiting to die in the army, but they were not as exaggerated as Jiang Lun.

Even Jiang Lun's head and body were separated, so it was obvious that this inspection was serious.

There was sudden chaos and everyone ran to the occupied area and began to count the number of people, including those who were building the wall, farming, and cleaning the yard. No one was left out.

Jiang Lun's head had a great deterrent effect. When Chen Yi arrived and counted the number of people, there were less than 5% of the vacant troops left.

The generals took out the money they had embezzled and received another 5,000 taels of silver from Jiang Lun.

At this time, Zhu Tan's identity had already spread among the generals in the army.

The Earl of Jianchang, the Duwei Mansion, and now the emperor's brother-in-law, all fit perfectly with their previous speculations.

No one would look down upon the emperor's uncle who could kill with just a glance, and this matter was widely circulated in the Divine Soldiers Camp.

For a time, people in the capital were talking about the fact that this uncle of the emperor was the Earl of Jianchang.

This made Chu Tiankong, who had been trying to clear his name, breathe a sigh of relief.

Ma Cong's injury healed a little. He left the Fifth Camp and went to the Three Thousand Camp. He didn't even dare to sit in the luxurious sleigh.

If it doesn't work, his father is watching right next to him!

Zhu Tan was very tactful and refused to let Ma Cong get in her car, but forced Ma Wensheng to sit down.

Ma Cong also became an attendant and joined the army like everyone else.

Ma Wensheng was in a good mood as he drove this luxurious sleigh, but he was thinking about one thing.

"Does Earl Jianchang have any opinion on Jiang Lun's death? I heard that Luo Zhao has passed away, but his influence is still there. Luo Ying of the Ministry of Agriculture and Luo Zhao are brothers. As for the emperor, I'm afraid there won't be any good results either." (End of this chapter)
