This is the emperor...

Qi Zhiyuan was completely confused.

He remembered this imperial envoy... No, the emperor had been to Qi's family, but he... had no eyes!

Now……

Emperor Hongzhi glanced coldly and said, "You are so confident that you are defamatory and claim that there is someone to prove it. Where is this person's evidence?"

Qi Zhiyuan was already trembling all over and was speechless.

On the other side, Cao Shang cried loudly and said, "Emperor, the emperor... these are all... they taught me, saying that the Xishan Money House took their land. Now that my father is dead, the Cao family has no support, and will rely on them in the future. He said that doing this will not only avenge his father's revenge, but also get some money and land to settle down in the future... These are all Professor Qi Zhiyuan... the grass people are confused."

Emperor Hongzhi sneered.

There are indeed too many famous things here. Emperor Hongzhi squinted his eyes and looked at Qi Zhiyuan and others, "You said that Xishan Money House invaded your land, is there any evidence?"

Qi Zhiyuan's whole body was trembling violently. When he knew that the imperial envoy was the emperor, he understood everything.

No wonder he dared to kill Cao Yuan. So... since he could kill Cao Yuan, it must be the emperor who learned something. It's ridiculous that he racked his brains here. It turned out... he was just like a clown who was watched by a monkey show.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at other gentry and scholars again: "Are you here to come here to make trouble with Qi Zhiyuan? Are you... going to force the palace?"

The word "forced to the palace" makes countless people feel cold. Forced to the palace is to rebel, and this is the crime of death.

Who dares to touch it?

Everyone's expressions and reactions were in the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "If you want to force the palace, then you will come just right. I... have a calculation to calculate with you. This fish and rice town in Jiangnan has a fertile land. I see you, all wearing gold and silver, but there are many ragged people in Xiaoling who actually took risks to steal and hunt on Zijin Mountain for a meal and dress. I feel ashamed. What I feel ashamed is that over the years, the court has given you so much grace, and you don't want to repay you, which has made so many people extremely poor. The fish and rice town has been ruined to such a situation, just right... I will use you and others to use it to calm the public's grievances."

The gentry and the scholars didn't dare to make a sound, but when they heard the heads of Zhier and others, their faces suddenly turned miserable...

Although they were usually noble, polite, and discussed the government's affairs, in fact, it was because the court was tolerant of them. When Emperor Taizu Gao was there, they didn't dare to say a word. Now that they really encountered a cruel person, someone was so scared that he fainted.

Some people also looked around with a look of panic.

Someone looked at Emperor Hongzhi carefully, but saw that Emperor Hongzhi had no expression on his face.

So, someone suddenly remembered the incident of the emperor who claimed to be an imperial envoy who personally killed Cao Yuan.

At this time, someone shivered and his eyes became more and more frightened.

The left deputy censor said that he would kill him. He said that the emperor was kind, but now it seems... he was afraid that he had some misunderstandings about His Majesty.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty..."

At this time, someone came out.

He said in panic: "Xiaomin Zhou Tangsheng, I have seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty... I am wronged, and I am definitely not here to cause trouble. My Emperor... My Emperor is wise and wise. He pursues Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and is better than Tang Emperor and Song Zong. He has great achievements in civil and military affairs, and has great achievements. He has been worshipped from all directions, and has been praised by all over the world. His master's merits are better than the Three Emperors, and his virtues are more brilliant than the Five Emperors. His man is a man of all ages. His Majesty's eyes are like torches, with unique eyes, as if he is clearly observing the fire, and he is very clear... all the people and the people admire the emperor's kindness. This great kindness is difficult for the descendants to repay for all generations. Please let Your Majesty know what to do..."

This person named Zhou Tangsheng, without a break, was so grateful that he gave a big gift of excitement...

This made Fang Jifan, who was drowsy, cheered up. It turned out that there were mountains outside the mountain and people outside. When they saw these scholars and gentry, they cursed people hard, but they didn't expect... These dogs and things were all grandmasters, and they didn't want to live in order to survive.

Others also said, "Yes, yes... the grass people are not here to cause trouble, but... just... they come to welcome the British Duke. I never thought that I would be lucky enough to meet the saint here. This three-life blessing, glorious family, glorious emperor's kindness, and grass people are all happy and energetic."

"Your Majesty..." Zhou Tangsheng immediately said: "The left deputy censor Cao Yuan has always been infamous in Nanjing. This man is a corpse and greedy person, and is greedy for money and lust, and is worse than pigs and dogs. Your Majesty kills this man, which is so vast that the net of heaven is vast and unlimited. Also, Qi Zhiyuan and Qi Zhiyuan have always been greedy. The land has risen and fallen sharply in recent days, and people's hearts are floating. He is there. This man is full of evil deeds and begs Your Majesty to punish him to obey the people's hearts. If he can confiscate his family and destroy the clan, he will be extremely happy. As for Cao Shang, this is Cao Yuan's evil son, and the little thief is lawless. When Cao Yuan was there, he ran rampant in the country and did many evil deeds. Today, he dared to falsely accuse him. His heart is so sinister that he is not tolerated by the heaven and earth."

After Zhou Tangsheng said that, he continued to perform the big gift of provoking his body with trembling trembling.

He was really scared. He had never been so scared in his life. He would usually speak loudly, even... dared to criticize the palace. He believed that he was a straightforward person, but when the real butcher knife was placed on his neck, he could not imagine that he had such potential.

After hearing this, Qi Zhiyuan almost fainted. He was afraid and angry and said unwillingly: "Zhou Tangsheng... I have no worries with you..."

"Dog thief, now you dare to be arrogant!" Someone among the gentry shouted: "When death is coming, who else do you want to defame? Fortunately, Your Majesty is here. Your Majesty is very careful. Do you still want to live?"

"Please kill Qi Zhiyuan and follow the will of the people." The gentry kowtowed one after another.

Listening to the sounds, Qi Zhiyuan was desperate. He never expected that the bird he had made, the first bird, was betrayed by other birds without hesitation. By the way, he was stepping on ten thousand feet.

Emperor Hongzhi just snorted coldly: "Come here, take down these two people, agree on their evil crimes, and punish them severely to serve as a warning to others."

With a command, soldiers like wolves and tigers immediately stepped forward and took Qi Zhiyuan and Cao Yuan. The two shouted loudly.

Emperor Hongzhi was unmoved, but glanced at the gentry and said, "I came to Jiangnan and everything I saw and heard was shocking. Now you are here, so I want to talk to you."

The word "talk" is very light, but the listener is in a mess. If you want to talk, it must be just as simple as chatting casually. Now everyone is owing a lot of loans. As for the crime of causing trouble, although they all spoke in unison and pushed it to Qi Zhiyuan and others, it is hard to guarantee that the court will not continue to pursue it!

What they fear most was that they didn’t know what His Majesty had heard and seen during these days in Jiangnan.

They suddenly remembered Emperor Taizu Gao. When they were reading history, they saw with their own eyes that some ministers had to say goodbye to their families before going to court, because no one knew whether they could come back alive when they were on duty. They didn't know why they angered Emperor Taizu Gao and died without a place to bury them.

After reading these, I felt so scared that I was so scared that I was out of my mind, but now... I have tasted this.

The current emperor... has quite the legacy of Emperor Taizu Gao.

Fang Jifan said at this time: "Your Majesty, this place is not far away, and it is the Jiangnan Gongyuan, which is spacious."

Fang Jifan was eager to join in the fun. Seeing these dogs in trouble, he couldn't help but feel happy, just like the New Year.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and then set up a tribute courtyard to the Minglun Hall of the Gongyuan. These scholars and gentry were driven to the tribute courtyard by soldiers like death row prisoners.

When Emperor Hongzhi was promoted to the throne, all the scholars and gentry entered the Minglun Hall, they knelt down in vain, one by one, and they could not get up, bowing their heads without saying a word.

………

But at this moment...

A quick report from the capital came to Nanjing with a fast horse.

This express was passed to the Duke of Wei’s Mansion.

The Duke of Wei went to the capital and has not returned yet. And there have been many rumors these days. It is said that the Duke of Wei wants to rebel, but the people from the Duke of Wei's mansion feel like a disaster is coming.

Any minister with a high position and power will be dead when such rumors come out.

The Duke's Mansion has been in the past for generations and has been in Jiangnan for generations. I never thought that one day it would end up like this.

Therefore, the wife of the Duke of Wei, Zhu, strictly ordered the people in the mansion to never participate in any right and wrong.

At this time, the whole house should be cautious and know that any dispute with others may cause disaster to the whole family.

This wife of the Duke of Wei, Zhu, is definitely not an ordinary person. She is the descendant of Zhu Neng, a descendant of the Duke of Chengguo. She is quite brave in such a general.

But... the son she gave birth to in her early years was left with only one grandson, and now her grandson's life and death are uncertain. At this time, it seems that the disaster of the entire Duke of Wei's Mansion is about to come. She has no choice but to compile a book for her brother Duke Cheng and ask him to find out the news in the capital.

At this time, the Duke of Wei was silent like death.

The door received an urgent report, and then rushed to Houzhai in a hurry.

Then, a big girl took over the report from the door and entered the inner courtyard.

"Old lady, old lady, news is coming from Beijing."

Today, Zhu only wore a rough cloth dress and no longer wore silk and satin. Although the court has not punished it now, at this time, the Duke of Wei's mansion must look like a guilty minister.

After many days of worry, she obviously lost weight. She always frowned slightly between her eyebrows, but she still supported her body, showing a bit of the majesty that the hostess should have, and said, "Whose news?"

"Young Master Sun!"
