During these six days, Zhen Beiwang handled more than a dozen old cases.

Some cases cannot be overturned because they have been going on for too long.

But others found other clues during the trial.

The Dai Palace has occupied Datong for two hundred years. It is impossible for it to always live in peace with the people of Datong!

And the crimes that had been concealed also surfaced as the cases were tried one after another!

For example, before succeeding to the throne, Prince of Dai Zhu Dingwei once rode his horse into the street, killing three people and crippling one.

For example, a village fifteen miles southwest of Datong city was massacred on a dark night two years ago, and the murderer was the personal guard of the Prince of Dai's palace!

For example, the son of the chief official of the Dai Wangfu raped and killed a commoner woman. Afterwards, his father stepped forward and gave Lin Tianshen 1,000 taels of silver to suppress the case.

Looking at the file in his hand, a sneer flashed across Zhu Youxiao's face.

At noon, King Dai once again sent an extremely shabby meal.

There was a small pot of steamed pumpkin, a small pot of steamed wild vegetables, and a pot of mushroom soup that was brought over.

As usual, the King of Dai and his wife came to have dinner together.

During the dinner, Zhu Youxiao took out the files directly, placed them in front of King Dai, and spoke with a slightly complaining tone.

"Why is Uncle Wang so careless?"

"Something happened, but you didn't even handle it cleanly. Now I have a headache!"

What happened outside these days could naturally not be hidden from King Dai.

When he saw these case files, he shuddered violently, and quickly stood up, took a few steps back, and knelt down.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

"Xiao Wang did some ridiculous things when he was young, but he has corrected those bad habits now."

"Xiao Wang is now reading every day, just to learn some principles of life, and never harm the people!"

Zhu Youxiao walked up to him with a smile and pulled him up from the ground.

"Uncle Wang, what are you doing? Get up quickly!"

"They are just some untouchables. If they die, they die."

"I just blame my uncle for being confused. If the prince of the Ming Dynasty has something wrong, he can just pay some silver for the crime. Why do you have to do such things to cover up your mistakes?"

"I ordered someone to investigate this time. It's a good thing that those things have been exposed. I can find a reason to move those untouchables to Liaodong."

"But if Uncle Wang gets into trouble again, I'll have to clean up the mess myself."

"Otherwise, if the news gets to the ears of the imperial censors, I will be in trouble!"

After hearing these words, King Dai was stunned.

The Princess of Dai standing by smiled as if relieved, stood up and bowed deeply to Zhu Youxiao.

Then he poked the Dai Wang in the back and said, "Your Majesty, His Majesty will not pursue this matter any further. Why don't you thank him quickly?"

The King of Dai finally reacted and knelt down with great joy on his face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Uncle Wang, please stand up quickly!"

After saying that, he pointed at the steamed pumpkin and steamed wild vegetables on the table and said with a wry smile, "I just hope to have something oily to eat tonight. I wonder if Uncle Wang can satisfy this small request of mine?"

The King of Dai bowed awkwardly and said, "My Lord, I obey your order!"

Afterwards, the couple left. Looking at their backs, Zhu Youxiao made a gesture behind the screen.

However, Prince Dai, who came out of Chengyun Palace, looked very proud.

After returning to Changchun Palace, he immediately arranged for the chief secretary of the palace to prepare dinner.

The chief official bowed his body and said with a wicked smile, "My Lord, is everything the same as usual?"

King Dai shook his head and smiled, "No, no, no, it must be as rich as possible!"

After saying this, looking at the puzzled look in Changshi's eyes, he stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Chengyun Hall.

"That one should also be on his way."

"So, this evening's meal will be considered as a farewell banquet given to him by the king!"

The Chief Secretary understood instantly, bowed, and left.

Shenshi, which is four o'clock in the afternoon.

A fast horse stopped in front of the Dai Wang Mansion, and a Jinyiwei jumped off the horse.

"Six hundred miles of express, urgent news from Henan!"

As soon as this voice was shouted, the door of Prince Dai's Palace was immediately opened from the inside.

The Jinyiwei rushed in without stopping and was then taken to Chengyun Hall.

"Your Majesty, urgent news from Henan!"

After entering the hall, he knelt on the ground and took out two letters from his arms.

The letter was sent from a captain under Zhen Beiwang named He Dongqing.

At that time, after Zhen Beiwang conveyed the order to Li Zicheng, he left He Dongqing in Funiu Mountain to wait for news.

Looking at the contents of the letter, Zhu Youxiao's breathing became heavy.

The following items were seized from Prince Fu’s Palace:

Four million seven hundred thousand taels of gold and silver!

One million and five hundred thousand shi of grain!

Land deeds for 3.41 million acres!

Two hundred and seventeen shops!

Jewelry and jade, eight hundred boxes!

...........

There was no need to look at the miscellaneous items at the back. These things alone made Zhu Youxiao want to roar.

The damn Prince Fu has only been a fief for fourteen years!

Such a huge amount of wealth has been accumulated!

As for the statement in the letter that Prince Fu died at the hands of Fu Zhenglin, the former captain of the Luoyang Embroidered Uniform Guard, Zhu Youxiao simply ignored it.

Who killed Prince Fu is no longer important in the face of these treasures!

He opened another letter, which contained the Qin army's gains in Luoyang city, Lu'shi, Lingbao, Luanchuan and other places, in addition to the Prince Fu's Palace.

The total amount of gold and silver was 2.19 million taels.

One hundred and thirty-two thousand shi of grain.

The land deeds cover 720,000 acres.

However, the harvested grain and land deeds have been distributed to the local people on the spot.

After handing the letter to Wei Zhongxian and ordering him to burn it, Zhu Youxiao looked at the Jinyiwei in front of him and asked.

"What's your name? What's your position?"

The Jinyiwei quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I am Kong Wei, a flag officer of the Northern Pacification Division!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded, asked Youtong to get a carving knife and a blank badge, and then started carving on it himself.

About an incense stick later, he threw the engraved badge to Kong Wei.

"From now on, you are the deputy centurion!"

"Go back and tell He Dongqing to hide all the valuables in Funiushan. You take people to watch over them there. I will have the Western Factory take them over!"

Looking at the badge in front of him, Kong Wei wanted to shout out excitedly!

This is a waist badge carved by His Majesty himself!

Can be passed down from generation to generation!

He held it in his arms as if it were a treasure and kowtowed three times.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"

"Please excuse me, little one!"

After saying that, he stood up and left Chengyun Hall.

After he left, Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Zhongxian again.

"Send someone back to the capital and ask Wang Chengen to go to Funiu Mountain to transport the gold and silver back. Also, find another excuse to send the grain to Taiyuan Prefecture!"

"Old slave obeys!"

Chapter 344 Nineteen Fears

Youshizhong.

That is six o'clock in the evening.

The meals from the Prince Dai’s Mansion were delivered to Chengyun Hall on time.

The dishes tonight are extremely sumptuous.

Steamed venison, fried sausage, egg fermented glutinous rice wine, and pickled duck.

Braised pig's trotters, steamed fish, braised chicken wings, and stewed chicken kidneys.

...........

A total of forty-eight dishes, plus eight soups.

Looking at such sumptuous dishes, Zhu Youxiao smiled happily.

"Hahahaha, Uncle Wang's meal really surprised me!"

"To be honest, I've been talking about birds for a long time now!"

The King of Dai also smiled and said, "As long as Your Majesty is satisfied."

Zhu Youxiao smiled, took the Prince of Dai's arm, and walked towards the dining table.

"Hahahaha, satisfied, of course I am satisfied!"

"Come, come, uncle and princess, please sit down!"

After they sat down, Princess Dai stood up and poured wine, which Zhu Youxiao accepted calmly.

During the meal, the uncle and nephew changed their previous lonely attitude and chatted very happily.

They talked about almost everything, from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the current political situation.

Princess Dai was watching this scene from the side, with a smile on her face that never faded.

After three rounds of drinks, Zhu Youxiao raised his glass to the Prince of Dai and his wife.

"I have been here for several days, and the people in various places are still waiting for me to come and provide disaster relief."

"This glass of wine is for Uncle Wang and Princess Wang. I'm sorry for all the trouble you've caused me these days!"

Upon hearing this, the King of Dai quickly picked up his wine glass and stood up: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? It is my honor to have you here."

Princess Dai also stood up, smiling like a flower: "Your Majesty is right, Your Majesty is the current emperor, and it is an honor for you and me to live in the palace for these days."

"Hahahaha, we're all family, so let's not talk about those two families. Come on, let's do it!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled and drank the wine in the glass.

The Dai King and his wife looked at each other and saw a hint of relief in each other's eyes.

"Snapped!"

But at this moment, the cup in Zhu Youxiao's hand suddenly slipped to the ground and broke into pieces.

Hearing the noise, everyone in the hall looked towards him at the same time.
