Chapter 185 The person who needs to tie the bell to untie the bell(1/2)
Royal Palace.
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
"Your Majesty, I am really unjust. I made a slip of the tongue just now, so please forgive me! But there is indeed a reason for the empty seal. Please look into it clearly!"
Teng Demao knelt on the ground with a pale face, his forehead was bruised, blood was flowing, and he was crying.
"Shut up!"
"At this point, I won't listen to any of your nonsense anymore!"
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Teng Demao and shouted sharply, then looked up at Pang Yuhai.
"Pang Yuhai, please convey my order to immediately raid the House of the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue and arrest all the family members. I want to see how much money he has embezzled from the Ministry of Households over the years!"
"As for the forty-one officials involved, all of them will be executed immediately and all their family members will be exiled!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Pang Yuhai and said fiercely.
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's order, Pang Yuhai and Mao Xiang, who was standing aside, couldn't help but be stunned at the same time, with shock on their faces.
"Slave obeys the order!"
After Pang Yuhai came to his senses, he hurriedly bowed and answered.
At this moment, a young eunuch hurriedly walked into the hall.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is outside seeking an audience."
The little eunuch bowed and said respectfully.
"Xuan."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, hesitated, and said slowly.
The little eunuch agreed, shrunk his neck and hurriedly retreated.
Soon, Prince Zhu Biao quickly walked into the hall and frowned when he saw Teng Demao kneeling on the ground with a bloody head.
"Why are you here?! What's the matter?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao who was walking in, and asked in a deep voice, the anger in his heart had not dissipated.
"My sons and ministers see my father."
"Back to my father, I have some court affairs to discuss with my father. I didn't know that my father had something to do, and I disturbed my father. Please forgive me."
Zhu Biao bowed respectfully and said slowly.
"We'll talk about it later. I have other things to deal with now."
"Why are you still standing there?! Go quickly!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, then glared at Pang Yuhai who was stunned on the spot, and scolded in a deep voice.
"etc!"
But Zhu Biao suddenly shouted and stopped Pang Yuhai who was about to leave. After taking a look at Mao Xiang and Teng Demao, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang again.
"I wonder why my father is so angry?"
Then Zhu Biao raised his hands and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and asked respectfully.
Hearing Zhu Biao's words, Pang Yuhai stopped and stood there, not knowing what to do.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao who suddenly stopped Pang Yuhai, frowned slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, he told Zhu Biao all the clues that Hu Fei had said before and that the inspector had found.
After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Biao couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't expect that Hu Fei's casual words could lead to such a big thing.
Now he somewhat understood why Hu Fei asked Xiao Qi to bring him that paragraph.
"I wonder what my father plans to do with it?"
Zhu Biao hesitated and asked slowly.
"The corruption and corruption is what I hate the most. Now that it has been found out, it must be severely punished! There are a total of forty-one officials involved, and they must all be executed as a warning. Teng Demao, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, knowingly committed the crime, will be punished with an additional one
Wait, your family should be confiscated and your entire family should be confiscated! Warn the world!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said in a deep voice.
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Biao couldn't help but tremble all over, and his back was chilled, knowing that this matter had completely angered his father.
"Father, you must not do this!"
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Biao bowed and said with a worried look.
"What do you mean?!"
"This matter is of great importance, you are not allowed to intercede for them!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, stared at Zhu Biao and said.
"Father, since this matter has been going on for a long time, I am afraid that killing people will not solve the problem. Moreover, the New Year is approaching, and once a big war is launched, people in the court will definitely be panicked, and it may be detrimental to the situation of the court!"
Zhu Biao raised his hands and said seriously.
After listening to Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and showed hesitation.
"Father, since Hu Fei discovered this matter and informed him, why not call him into the palace for questioning. Maybe he already has a solution. The person who tied the bell needs to be untied."
Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment, glanced at his father who looked hesitant, and said tentatively.
After listening to Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes, sat on the couch thoughtfully, and fell into deep thought.
"All right."
"Summon Hu Fei into the palace immediately!"
After Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, he glanced at Pang Yuhai and said in a deep voice.
According to his understanding of Hu Fei's past actions, it seemed that every time Hu Fei raised a question, he had indeed already had a solution.
When Pang Yuhai heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said that he would immediately send someone to deliver the order.
...
Hong Bin Building.
In the main hall of the backyard, Hu Fei was neatly dressed and sitting on a chair drinking tea.
His intuition told him that the palace would soon send someone to summon him to the palace.
At this moment, Chundie passed through the front hall, slowly walked towards the main hall in the backyard, and stepped into the main hall.
"Master, Her Royal Highness the Princess has been safely delivered to the Korean government. I have also given the note you gave me to Li Qi, so that Her Royal Highness the Princess will not find it."
Chundie walked up to Hu Fei, cupped her hands, and said respectfully.
"Did Li Qi ask anything?"
Hu Fei nodded and asked lightly.
"I didn't say anything, and I didn't ask anything."
Chundie shook her head and replied slowly.
"knew."
Hu Fei curled his lips and smiled, waved his hand and said.
Chundie's answer has proved his guess, and now he can be sure that his encounter with Princess Anqing was indeed no accident.
However, I was always a little unhappy after being used as a pawn, but the result was good, so I didn't hold much grudge against Li Qi and his son.
Without them, he might not have met Princess Anqing. Living in this familiar yet unfamiliar world, his soul really needed a support, and he has found that support now.
"Master, aren't you waiting for me?"
Chundie looked at Hu Fei who kept looking outside and asked hesitantly.
"You think too much."
Hu Fei curled his lips and said with a smile.
After listening to Hu Fei's words, Chundie pursed her lips in embarrassment. She originally thought that the young master was waiting for her to come back here.
At this moment, three people walked out of the front hall again and were walking towards the main hall. One of them looked like a eunuch who had come out of the palace.
"Master, someone in the palace is looking for you."
The guy who was leading the way came to the door, bowed respectfully, and spoke slowly.
Hu Fei waved his hand and signaled the waiter to step back.
Immediately afterwards, the young eunuch quickly walked into the main hall and bowed respectfully.
"See Mr. Hu."
"This slave, following your Majesty's instructions, summons Mr. Hu to the palace to pay an audience. Please set off immediately."
The little eunuch said respectfully while saluting.
"Is the prince in the Yangxin Hall?"
