Ming Dynasty: A hundred-year-old immortal cultivator, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty...Your Majesty thinks these are all minor matters. There is no need to report them. Xinghua Prefecture can handle them."

"Little things?"

"A village of more than 300 people was massacred, and you call it a small matter?"

Seeing Zhu Xiongying's gloomy face, Liang Zishi's body trembled continuously and sweat had wet his back.

"Humph!"

"Prefect Liang, have you solved it?"

"Have the Japanese pirates been caught?"

"No...no!"

"Ah……"

"Drag him away and torture him to death!"

"Your Highness, please spare my life! Your Highness..."

"I know I was wrong!"

"Your Highness, please spare your life!"

Liang Zishi kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, but was picked up and dragged away by the bad guys, and his voice gradually faded away.

Zhu Xiongying turned to look at the county magistrate: "What's your name?"

"Your Highness, this is Taishi Xin!"

"Okay! You will temporarily take over the post of Xinghua prefect. If you do well, you will be promoted to the position."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Taishi Xin kowtowed quickly to express his gratitude.

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Let me ask you, do you know the origin of the Japanese pirates?"

"Your Highness, the Japanese pirates are elusive and usually appear at night, so it is difficult to track them down."

"I also sent people to search for it at sea, but they were stopped by Liang Zishi."

Zhu Xiongying nodded: "Okay! I understand!"

"Go back first!"

..........................................

Inside the inn!
"Yuan Tiangang!"

"Your Highness!"

"Did your people gain anything?"

"Your Highness, the vast ocean may take some time."

Zhu Xiongying nodded: "Send someone to keep a close eye on You Zimin and the others. I always feel like something is wrong with them."

"understand!"

"Go and bring Liang Zishi here!"

Yuan Tiangang nodded, turned and walked out.

Liang Zishi was not dead, he was just doing it for You Zimin and the others to see.

Soon Liang Zishi was brought here by the bad guys.

He was thrown in front of Zhu Xiongying like a dead dog.

"Liang Zishi, I will give you a chance. Tell the truth."

"Otherwise, don't tell me about you. Your whole family will go to hell with you. It's your choice."

"Don't think that anyone can protect your family. Whoever I want to die must die, without exception."

Liang Zishi looked up at Zhu Xiongying, weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

"Your Highness, I..."

"I said, can you let my family go?"

"Of course! You said I would keep your family safe, and I will help them eliminate any threats."

Liang Zishi lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Zhu Xiongying did not disturb him and let him think about it carefully.

"Your Highness, you'd better kill me!"

Zhu Xiongying was stunned!
(O)
Is this rejection?

"I want to know the reason!"

"Your Highness, you have no idea of ​​their methods. If I tell you, my family will surely die miserably."

"So your highness, you should just kill me!"

Zhu Xiongying smiled when he heard this: "Their methods are powerful, but are my methods rubbish?"

"If you don't tell me, your family can be saved?"

Unexpectedly, Liang Zishi shook his head and said, "I know where I am now."

"If I don't tell, my family will be beheaded in public, but if I tell."

"My family will suffer a fate worse than death. The men will be enslaved, and the women will be abused in every way, eventually becoming prostitutes or even being abused to death."

"If it were you, which of these two would you choose?"

What the hell!

What he said makes sense!
For a moment, I was unable to refute!

After a while!
"Liang Zishi, do you think too highly of those people?"

"Do you think if you die and take on all the problems, they will really take care of your family?"

"In their opinion, they will not let your family live in order to protect themselves."

"Because they don't know whether you have told your family about anything. If you have, your family will be like a slow poison to them."

"Do you think they'll keep your family?"

"Even if you didn't say it, do you think they would believe it?"

"To be on the safe side, they would rather kill the wrong person than let him go."

"Your wife and daughter will still be raped to death by then. Have you ever thought about this?"

After hearing Zhu Xiongying's words, Liang Zishi fell into deep thought. He knew that those people were inhumane.

They only care about their own interests and don't care about your life or death.

If you have humanity, you wouldn't do those things?
The prosperity of the world is for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

I would do the same if it were me. I would definitely do it for myself.

"Your Highness, can you really guarantee the safety of my family?"

"Of course! Whoever I want to die must die, and whoever I want to live can live, without exception."

"Then can you send someone to protect my family now?"

He was very clear about what those people were doing. If he died, they would definitely send people to kill his family first in order to leave no evidence.

Zhu Xiongying turned to look at Yuan Tiangang, who immediately understood and turned around to make arrangements.

"All right!"

"I promise that not a hair of your family will be lost."

"Say it!"

"What does your highness want to know?"

"Why didn't you report it? And why did you try to stop Taishi Xin from going out to look for the pirates?"

Liang Zishi sighed deeply: "Alas! Because I don't want the court to know these things."

"We have cooperation with the Japanese pirates!"

"cooperate?"

"What cooperation?"

"We will share half of the money and women the pirates have robbed, and we will provide cover for them in return."

Hearing this, Zhu Xiongying's face became extremely gloomy. This guy is a complete traitor and a running dog.

Damn it!
They cooperated with the Japanese pirates, massacred their own compatriots, burned, killed and looted. These bastards are ten or a hundred times more hateful than the Japanese pirates.

Zhu Xiongying resisted the urge to kill and asked, "Who was involved?"

"Almost all the prefects and officials of the provincial government along the entire coastal area of ​​Fujian are here."

“Every year we keep a portion of our own and give the rest to the Chief Secretary.”

"It is distributed uniformly by You Zimin. The higher the official rank, the more he gets. Now in You Zimin's mansion, there are many women who were kidnapped by Japanese pirates for his enjoyment."

damn thing!
Damn it!

Damn!

Zhu Xiongying clenched his fists, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"How did you collude with the Japanese pirates?"

"How long has this been going on?"

"It's been more than four years, almost five."

"It was the Japanese pirates who disguised themselves as merchants to negotiate with the You Zimin people. I did not go along with them at first."

"They were the ones who planned to drag me into this, so I..."

Zhu Xiongying sneered: "Why? Do you still want to clear yourself?"

Liang Zishi shook his head: "I know that I have committed serious sins, and death is not a pity. Perhaps this is also a kind of relief for me!"

"I just hope my family can be safe."

"I don't ask for anything else!"

When Zhu Xiongying heard Liang Zishi say this, he was furious.

You've done so many fucking evil things, and you want to save your family.

What about the families of those who were killed?
More than 300 people were massacred in Yisha Village. How do we account for this?

But Zhu Xiongying still endured it, after all, it seemed that Liang Zishi's family was not involved.

They are innocent too!

Zhu Xiongying took a deep breath!

"Liang Zishi, you really deserve to die!"

"He deserves death!"

"Any punishment used on you would be too light."

Zhu Xiongying gritted his teeth.

"Your Highness, I know I deserve death, and I am willing to repay those people in my next life."

"What the hell are you going to give me back? Huh?"

Zhu Xiongying roared!
Liang Zishi was suddenly speechless.

"If you weren't still useful, I would have killed you."

Zhu Xiongying suppressed his anger! Liang Zishi lowered his head and dared not speak.

"Do you know how many Japanese pirates there are along the coast?"

Liang Zishi shook his head.

"Do you know where they are hiding?"

"Your Highness, their whereabouts are probably only known to You Zimin."

"Fuck, you don't know anything!"

"Li Chuan, Luo Fei!"

"exist!"

"Drag him out and beat him. Remember not to beat him to death!"

"Yes!"

Li Chuan and Luo Fei immediately grabbed Liang Zishi and got out.

"You bastard, you deserve to die."

Li Chuan and Luo Fei were cursing.

Zhu Xiongying kept taking deep breaths. This was the first time he was so angry.

"Yuan Tiangang!"

Zhu Xiongying shouted in a low voice!
Yuan Tiangang's figure appeared beside Zhu Xiongying like a ghost.

"Your Highness!"

"I can't wait any longer. Bring You Zimin and the others here."

"I'll let them die!"

Zhu Xiongying’s anger reached his head.

"Yes!"

Yuan Tiangang immediately took the bad guys away!
..........................................

The place for wandering people!

All officials gathered with him to discuss the next countermeasures.

"Sir, now that Liang Zishi is dead, should we let His Highness leave as soon as possible?"

"I'm worried that if he continues to stay here, he might find something. The longer the night, the more trouble he will have."

"Yes!"

"We have to find a way to get him to leave as soon as possible. It would be best if he could respond to the sky immediately."

Everyone nodded.

You Zimin remained silent, seemingly thinking about something.

"No!"

"If we rush him to go back, he will think we are doing it on purpose."

"This will only do harm. Zhu Xiongying is very smart. How many people fell into his hands?"

"We can't be anxious. The more anxious we are, the more it will show that we are guilty."

"The more this happens, the less likely he will leave."

Everyone thought it made some sense.

"But sir, if we let him stay any longer, and if they find out something, won't we be finished?"

"I understand your concerns, but isn't it all right if we just arrange it so that he can't see anything?"

Everyone looked puzzled.

"My Lord, this is probably unrealistic!"

"The new Taishi Xin is not one of ours!"

“This is not easy to do!”

Everyone nodded. After all, who would give you convenience if you are not one of us?

"We can..."

Before You Zimin could finish his words, the bad guys broke in through the door and interrupted him.

"You...you are the bad guys following His Highness?"

"Isn't this a bit rude of you?"

You Zimin was very unhappy about the sudden intrusion of the bad guys.

Yuan Tiangang slowly walked out of the crowd.

"Master You, His Highness invites you!"

You Zimin frowned immediately, this person came with bad intentions!

Could it be that they really discovered something?
"May I ask what your Highness wants from me?"

Snapped……

Li Chuan slapped him in the face.

"Why is there so much nonsense?"

"Just go if I tell you to go!"

"you……"

"How could you be so rude?"

You Zimin became angry immediately.

Snapped……

Another slap in the face.

"What? Are you dissatisfied?"

"You must report me to His Highness!"

Snapped……

"I'm sorry!"

"you……"

Snapped……

"What are you?"

The people living downstream dared not speak any more, for they would probably be beaten if they spoke any more.

"Take everything away!"

Yuan Tiangang said this and turned and left.

All officials had learned from the previous experience of You Zimin and didn't say much.

Just follow me obediently!
....................................

Inside the inn!
All the officials were brought before Zhu Xiongying.

In the hall of the inn, Zhu Xiongying glanced at everyone coldly, his face looking terribly gloomy.

"Your Highness, I wonder what I have done wrong to deserve such treatment?"

You Zimin looked at Zhu Xiongying with a wronged expression.

Zhu Xiongying saw that both sides of his cheeks were slightly red and swollen.

"fine!"

"You'll understand later!"

"Beat them all, beat them hard!"

At Zhu Xiongying's command, the Bad Guys rushed forward and started attacking those officials.

Li Chuan and Luo Fei worked even harder, because they knew how evil what these people were doing was.

How hateful!

Suddenly, screams were heard in the inn!

After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Xiongying finally ordered his men to stop.

Those officials wailed!
He lay on the ground groaning in pain, especially You Zimin, who had a bruised face and his front teeth knocked out.

"Do you know why I beat you?"

Everyone looked at Zhu Xiongying with confusion.

Zhu Xiongying sneered: "Bring it up!"

Soon Liang Zishi was dragged up. He was beaten to a pulp and covered with bruises.

Everyone was shocked when they saw Liang Zishi. This... this... this...

Isn't this person dead?

You Zimin immediately realized that Zhu Xiongying was putting on a show for them!

"Liang Zishi, speak up!"

"Say again what you just said to me."

"Yes...Yes, Your Highness!"

"The reason why Yisha Village was massacred..."

"..."

Liang Zishi told everything in public.

Taishi Xin, who was standing aside, had his eyes wide open like bells. He had never expected that his immediate superior was hiding such a big thing.

"Bloody mouth!"

"Your Highness, this is pure slander. He is slandering me!"

"Your Highness!"

"I have never done anything worse than an animal!"

"It's all Liang Zishi's fault that he's desperate and is biting people without permission!"

"Your Highness, please give me some advice!"

Just as Liang Zishi said yes, You Zimin immediately jumped out to refute, looking indignant.

Others followed suit!

For a time, Liang Zishi's ancestors were cursed.

"Your Highness, there is an account book in my house, and every transaction is recorded."

"Your Highness can send someone to get it."

Zhu Xiongying immediately looked at Li Chuan and Luo Fei, and the latter went to get it immediately.

When You Zimin heard that Liang Zishi still had the account book, he immediately panicked, and the feeling of fear gradually came over him.

"You Zimin, I know you won't confess your guilt honestly. I have already sent someone to your house."
