Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel
Chapter 643 The injustice of the year
Zhu Yuanzhang and Gao Fei did not dare to delay. Since they had decided to investigate this matter thoroughly, they would start with the Li family's affairs as soon as possible.
What Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect was that many people in the county seemed to be against the Li family.
I asked several people, but when I heard that they were asking about the Li family, they didn't dare to reveal anything.
Even the way they look at them has changed a lot, and they are running into obstacles at every turn.
"What should we do now? We have been searching for so long, but there are no clues. Could it be that the lives of more than a dozen people were involved in this for nothing?"
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han were able to give justice to the people of Shangyuan County as soon as possible because of this incident.
But they had put in a lot of effort, but what they didn't expect was that things were not that simple.
Gao Fei's eyes became firmer after listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words.
They walked down the street from where they were just now, but didn't find any clues.
But it can also be seen that the people seem to have always been afraid of the Li family.
The unjust cases back then did a lot of harm.
"It's already dark. Why don't we go back to the inn first? Maybe we can get a lot of clues from the waiters in the inn."
Zhu Yuanzhang's words made Gao Fei's eyes light up, and he quickly agreed as they were walking to the inn.
I met the two beggars again on the road.
This time, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who noticed them and hurriedly stepped forward and saw the old beggar holding the child, still squatting at the entrance of the alley.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at them.
"It's going to rain soon. Why don't we go back to the inn where we are staying? Don't worry, I will never hurt you."
The beggar looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and did not expect that fate would be so good.
He gritted his teeth and then agreed. When they returned to the inn, Gao Fei went out of his way to check their luggage carefully for fear of any danger.
Gao Fei was so vigilant that the beggar looked at him a few more times. Zhu Yuanzhang on the side looked at Gao Fei and couldn't help but give him a few words of advice.
They are just here to investigate some things this time, but they must not cause anything bad to happen again.
"Now let the waiter prepare some water for them to wash up, and then bring some tea and wine."
Zhu Yuanzhang said, took out the silver from his sleeve and handed it to Gao Fei. Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Gao Fei did not dare to slack off and went to make arrangements immediately.
The beggar sat in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and watched Zhu Yuanzhang lower his head. He was unkempt and no one had given him any warmth for so many years.
But I didn't expect that I would meet a noble person this time.
"Actually, you shouldn't save me. I have become a beggar here. People who have passed by for a long time know that I will bring disaster to others."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head quickly after hearing this.
"You are just an ordinary citizen. Now that I have met you, I am willing to help you. If you accept my kindness, then it has been wiped out. There is no need to worry too much."
Zhu Yuanzhang's words made the old beggar's eyes suddenly turn red.
He watched Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly step forward and knelt down with a plop, completely opening up his heart.
"I know you must be the one who came to our Shangyuan County to investigate the case, but now there are many things in the county government that you will not find out at all, and they have all been hidden by Wang An."
Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately in awe at the old beggar's words, and at this time Gao Fei had already prepared food.
The old beggar had no choice but to shut up. He was worried that what he said might lead to death.
Zhu Yuanzhang had a calm look on his face. He looked at Gao Fei washing the child and changing his clean clothes. He looked very pleasant to the eyes.
Zhu Yuanzhang held the child in his arms, but he did not expect that he would end up living on the street at such a young age.
"Otherwise, I'll take them to rest now."
Gao Fei didn't like to help others in the past. He struggled in the world, but suffered a lot.
Unexpectedly, meeting such a beggar now made him feel a little worried. Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head gently.
"It's still early. Go to the next room first and be careful not to let anyone eavesdrop on our conversation. I have something to discuss with this old man."
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Gao Fei looked at him doubtfully.
In the end there was no doubt.
Before Zhu Han left, he had already told Gao Fei that he must obey Zhu Yuanzhang's orders.
The old man looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and suddenly he didn't know how to be grateful.
After the people left, the old man ate something and drank some tea, and then he felt relieved.
The child in her arms was already sitting obediently aside.
Zhu Yuanzhang was still very calm, asking him about his story.
"Shangyuan County's tax revenue has been very good over the years. The people should live and work in peace and contentment, but the only beggars I see on the street are you two. Is there something hidden in this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's words made the old beggar burst into tears. He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and told him that he was from the Li family.
"A year ago, our family was a big owner of Silk Duanzhuang in Shangyuan County, and we were very clever at making money. There are several stores on this street owned by our family."
"I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Wang An would be eyeing a good business."
The old man told Zhu Yuanzhang that the affairs of the Li family were indelibly related to Wang An.
Some of Wang An's subordinates also run the business of silk and satin shops, but there has been no improvement.
As the Li family's silk and satin business got better and better, they were squeezed out a lot.
So, the Wang family found Wang An, hoping that he could help with the silk fabrics, and deliberately started to crack down on the Li family's silk business in Shangyuan County.
"Our family was considered a wealthy family in Shangyuan County at that time. We never put any pressure on the people, and the cloth business we sold has always been very good."
"I didn't expect that someone from the government would actually get involved in the fight between the two families."
It was originally just a business matter, but I didn't expect that it would eventually turn into oppression of the people by officials.
"Business was getting better and better, and the Wang family began to be very jealous of us. In order to master Shangyuan's silk and satin as soon as possible, Wang An sent people to destroy our store."
The old man said with hatred on his face. He had always done very well in his own business.
But I didn't expect that something like this would happen in the blink of an eye, and I couldn't forgive myself from the beginning to the end.
Even now, more than a year has passed since the incident, and he still feels that it was his business back then that caused the family to get into such a disaster.
Zhu Yuanzhang's heart suddenly rose to his throat when he heard what the old man said. This was exactly what Zhu Han said.
The matter involving the Li family must be protected by officials from the DPRK and the Central Government.
Wang An is in a small place, but he still wants to control the life and death of the people, covering the sky with one hand.
His corruption and perversion of the law made Zhu Yuanzhang very angry.
The old man told Zhu Yuanzhang the whole story and cried bitterly.
"I don't ask for anything else. I just want to be an ordinary person for my family. But I didn't expect that Wang An was so ambitious that he actually asked me to hand over a thousand taels of silver to let my family live?"
The old man never imagined that he would be in such a situation now. He knows better than anyone that he will never put himself in crisis when making arrangements.
However, the current situation made it impossible for him to calm down.
In order to avenge his family as soon as possible, the old man could not help but spend a lot of money on officials again and again.
In the end the problem was not resolved.
A fire destroyed the whole family.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned when he heard this, and was even more frightened in his heart.
No one in Yingtian Mansion would dare to do such a thing under their own eyes.
It seems that Wang An has been oppressing the people in this way because he is a county government official.
Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely angry. He helped the old man up from the ground and looked at the old man's red face.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately made a commitment.
"Don't worry, now that I have come to Shangyuan County, I will definitely investigate everything clearly. I will definitely help you to clear up your family's grievances."
Zhu Yuanzhang's words made the old man look at him with admiration, but in the end the old man still didn't have much hope.
He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"As long as it allows me to live a stable life, that's enough."
Zhu Yuanzhang felt very uncomfortable. He thought that such absurd things would never happen again in the Ming Dynasty under his management.
But now it was so real that he couldn't calm down.
In order to investigate the truth of this matter as soon as possible, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately arranged for the old man and the child to be with him.
Wrote a letter to Zhu Han.
At this time, Zhu Han and He Fengyu had arrived at the county government office.
Wang An served Zhu Han very attentively, and even had two houses cleared out for Zhu Han to live in.
The county government office was extremely quiet, and most of the people had left after eating.
He Fengyu sat in front of Zhu Han.
Just now, he had carefully checked the corner of the county government office, but did not find any clues.
Now for them, it may not be that simple to investigate the truth as soon as possible.
In order to improve the crisis as soon as possible, we must find opportunities as soon as possible at the most critical moment.
The location must be exposed, which is very important to them.
"I just looked around and didn't find anything. What should I do?"
He Fengyu was obviously starting to feel a little nervous. As long as it was normal, he would definitely not put himself in crisis as soon as possible, but if he could now.
The officials have investigated the situation clearly and will definitely not bring any more crisis to themselves by then.
At this moment, since they have arrived in Shangyuan County, they must investigate all these matters.
There must be no mistakes. Zhu Han is very calm. From just now, he can see a trace of nervousness on Wang An's face.
The longer they stay in the county government office, the more wary Wang An will become. If they stay on guard for a long time, their flaws will definitely be exposed.
"Now we can wait and see what happens, and don't be nervous about other things."
Zhu Han's words suddenly made He Fengyu a little puzzled.
After all, it is not as simple as previously thought to investigate some plans.
He Fengyu only wanted to seize the slightest opportunity as soon as possible and defeat Wang An.
He really didn't want to see Wang An being so rampant in the county government.
"I really didn't expect that a small county magistrate would have such a strong position in the county government. After entering the county seat, I found that the people seemed to be very afraid of him."
He Fengyu's words made Zhu Han feel a little bad, and he had already thought of it before he speculated.
Wang An has been the county magistrate for more than ten years, and it seems that his strength cannot be underestimated.
Zhu Han shook his head after listening to He Fengyu's words. He looked cautiously at the figure flashing outside the door with a smile on his face.
"I'm deliberately showing off my flaws now, but I want him to see how many abilities he has that can compete with us."
Only then did He Fengyu realize that Zhu Han was just attracting her on purpose.
Wang An wanted to keep an eye on their people.
Now the other party thought that after getting the evidence in their hands, they would report it to Wang An quickly.
All Wang An's attention will be focused on them, which will also facilitate Zhu Yuanzhang and the others' secret investigation.
"Master is really well-intentioned. If it were a step later, I'm afraid I really don't know what to do."
Zhu Han looked at He Fengyu with a smile on his face.
"There are still many things that you need to learn. It is not a big problem for you to deal with an official now."
He Fengyu nodded repeatedly after listening to Zhu Han's words.
He had never thought before that he could use this method to investigate all corruption among officials as quickly as possible.
If it weren't for Zhu Han's suggestion, he really didn't know how much time it would take to settle all of this.
Just as the two were talking, there was a sound outside the door.
He Fengyu's expression changed and he ran out immediately.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw a dart placed on the door.
He Fengyu looked around and found no suspicious person, so he quickly took down the dart in his hand.
"Master, do you think who put this thing here? Could it be Gao Fei?"
He Fengyu acted very cautiously, and Zhu Han stepped forward quickly after hearing his words.
Zhu Han took the envelope from He Fengyu's hand, and after taking a look, his expression changed drastically.
"It's true that the emperor has paid off. I really didn't expect that Wang An would be so cruel and ruthless. This is the way for us to divide our troops into two groups. It is indeed correct."
He Fengyu looked at Zhu Han doubtfully.
Zhu Han handed the envelope in his hand to He Fengyu's hand. After reading it, He Fengyu's face became more and more ugly.
He held the envelope in his hand and slowly approached the candle, lighting it immediately.
That letter has long been reduced to ashes.
He Fengyu's hands were clenched into fists.
"I can't imagine that he dares to be so cruel to ordinary people. I can't wait to cut him into pieces." (End of Chapter)
