Chapter 106: Uncovering the Truth
Zhu Di seemed to have sensed something in Yao Guangxiao’s words.
So Zhu Di gazed at Yao Guangxiao, and his expression became serious, saying, “What? Master Yao has something to say, but there’s no harm in saying it.”
Yao Guangxiao revealed a hint of a smile and said, “I am old, and I don’t care much about mundane matters anymore. It’s just that your majesty trusts and entrusts me with a heavy responsibility, so I can only reluctantly use this useless body to try my best to serve your majesty as a dog and horse.”
Yao Guangxiao paused, and then said: “The matter in the zhangshi, I have read it briefly, it is only the people of Shangyuan County, sued Zhang Anshi, and the county magistrate also for this reason will be these offenses, reported to the Yingtianfu, Yingtianfu uploaded to the imperial court. I just wonder, why does your majesty believe in what is said here?”
This one sentence, however, made Zhu dawned on him!
Zhu Di thought for a moment, then said: “I am worried that Zhang Anshi after all has no experience in the township, Qixia ferry although small, is a thoroughfare, he has to teach people to read, but also to guard, there is a mistake, I actually do not blame, just kill the people, bullying the weak and so on, it is too sensationalized.”
Zhu Di continued to stare at Yao Guangxiao, his face became more and more serious: “Yao master always say I am a person of benevolence and generosity, these words, I can not listen to it, I have been since I became a year, will be with my Ming army horse east to west, I do not know how much blood stained on the hands, charity does not palms soldiers, I do not know how much blood of the enemy under the knife. Just …… people innocent, bullying the weak, such things, that is, I heard all shocked.”
Zhu Di back hands, sighed, then said: “think those Tartars, when the land of the Lord of the Central Plains, the force of how prosperous, but they are in the Central Plains, but only a few decades, it is all over the Beacon, Taizu high emperor people, such as the arms of a call, but where the flag crusade against tyrannical Yuan, the world no response, that the Tartar cavalry that first shocked, in just a decade or so, it was cleared out of a clean slate. ”
“Master Yao ah, I am today’s soldier flourishing, can flourish than the Tartars who conquered the four directions? The reason for their defeat is the result of treating the people as grass and killing them wantonly.”
Zhu Di sighed, looked worried, mouth then said: “So the great emperor, everywhere said do not hurt the people, to harm the people, has always imposed extreme punishment, the severity of the criminal law, unprecedented. My children and grandchildren, how can we not understand the mind of Emperor Taizu?”
“I do not care about killing, I care, is bullying women and children, wantonly kill the people, if the people as pigs and dogs, I in this Forbidden City, and how to rest assured?”
Yao Guangxiao nodded gently and sighed, “This is Your Majesty’s great benevolence.”
Zhu Di instantly bulged his eyes, “I have said so much, I didn’t want to hear this from you, a bald ass.”
Yao Guangxiao smiled, His Majesty’s words of cursing were actually nothing, he was used to it.
“But has Your Majesty thought of one thing, the Great Ancestor, Emperor Gao, also said that the Emperor should be clear-sighted, so that he can distinguish between the loyal and the treacherous.”
Zhu Di sensed that Yao Guangxiao had something more to say in his words, so he looked straight at Yao Guangxiao and said, “So what does Master Yao mean?”
Yao Guangxiao calmly said, “Shangyuan County is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, Your Majesty only needs to send a hearty rider to take a look.”
Zhu couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, “Do you mean a thorough investigation?”
Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, “It depends on how to check, in fact …… His Majesty appoints anyone to check, there may be different results.”
Zhu Di’s eyes closed up and pondered very seriously, this sentence really hit the nail on the head ah!
After a moment of contemplation, Zhu Di smiled, eyes looking out of the window, it seems that the line of sight has become distant, with a few emotions, “Master Yao can still remember when the time of the Jingdan? I am on the battlefield, often ride out lightly, personally scout the enemy camp, the so-called know yourself and know your enemy, which can truly understand the reality of the southern army, so the formation of troops, often with less against more.”
Yao Guangxiao bowed and said, “Your Majesty is personally involved in everything, and the success of the pacification could not have been achieved without Your Majesty’s credit of exploring the realities of the southern army.”
Zhu Di smiled and said: “Only their own eyes have seen, only to know the truth, but also to find the weakness of the southern army, just mobilize the elite troops, the pursuit of this place, the southern army will be routed. Today I will simply go to find out.”
Yao Guangxiao said, “Will Your Majesty allow me to go with you?”
Zhu Di waited for him to say, “Of course the monk is also going to go, just …… need to wear back to your monk clothes.”
Yao Guangxiao smiled.
In fact, the reason why Yao Guangxiao could become the first strategist beside Zhu Di was by no means as simple as his daily persuasion of Zhu Di to rebel.
Yao Guangxiao in fact will not easily jump to conclusions for Zhu, more often than not, he just guides Zhu step by step.
He is clearer than anyone else, when this Zhu Yuanzhang’s fourth son, is an extremely intelligent person, and extremely opinionated, such a person is born commander-in-chief, you go to tell him what should be done, and how to do, he may not be able to do what you say.
But if you tell him, your majesty why not go to see with your own eyes, then …… many things instead Zhu will slowly step into the result that Yao Guangxiao wants to get.
There are many self-proclaimed smart people in this world, always a good teacher, daily reciting on others, as if mastering the truth of the universe in general, but in fact, often such a person, precisely in real life is the most hateful.
Yao Guangxiao can live such a long time, and in Zhu Di’s side, has been the grace and honor is not reduced, to him courtesy, naturally has its own reason.
Zhu Di is a person who does what he says, at that moment, Zhu Di took seven or eight plainclothes forbidden guards to set off, Yao Guangxiao and Yiluoha tail from.
After leaving the Forbidden City, Zhu Di originally wanted to board a boat toward the Fuzimiao Ferry.
Just at this time it is already cold winter, the sky drifting snow flakes, Zhu Di simply riding a horse.
In the direction of Qixia, you need to leave the city through the Dingdong Gate. A quick trip will require another detour around the foothills of Zhongshan Mountain.
At this time, the snow flakes flurry, when riding a horse, snow flakes will be condensed on the face of Zhu, frost general, with a hint of cold air.
Such weather, really cold, even Zhu Di this long in Beiping, and even deep into the desert of people, can not help but complain along the way: “This Nanjing winter, the cold is not even under the Beiping, his mother.”
Yao Guangxiao was accustomed to the cold and heat, and only rode after Zhu Di in silence.
The cold wind entered his body, so Zhu finally slowed down his horse’s speed and walked slowly.
Probably a bit bored, Zhu Di glanced at Yao Guangxiao, who was following him, and suddenly said, “That kid Jianwen, how is it with you?”
Yao Guangxiao’s eyes only looked ahead as he blandly said, “Only practicing Buddhism, no questions about external affairs.”
Zhu thoughtfully added, “Is he really discouraged?”
Yao Guangxiao said, “Your Majesty, when it comes to such a situation, it really doesn’t matter what’s in his mind anymore.”
Zhu Di nodded, then said, “Well, what I want is also just his attitude.”
After a pause, Zhu Di then said, “If he can be peaceful, I am naturally too lazy to execute him. When you go back, tell him to teach him to pay attention to his body.”
Yao Guangxiao said, “Among the Buddhist sects, daily purification of the mind may lead to a longer life. ”
When Zhu Di heard this, he laughed out loud and said, “If you have to clear your mind in order to live a few more days, what is the point? It’s better to die early and clean. You bald asses, I can’t understand.”
Yao Guangxiao: “……”
Zhu Di at this time looked at Yao Guangxiao, his face seemed to flash a trace of embarrassment, hastily added: “Master Yao, I said in the bald ass, you can be an exception, do not have to take it to heart.”
Yao Guangxiao smiled faintly and said, “I know.”
As you ride along Zhongshan, the foothills of the mountain are long and not far away, the Jimei Temple and Xuanwu Lake are visible again.
That the Jixing Temple has ancient, after the high emperor Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the rebuilding of the temple, expanding the scale, and the imperial title “Jixing Temple”. After the continuous expansion, the compound scale, covering an area of more than a thousand acres, halls and pavilions, the stage house houses up to more than thirty, is the first large temple in Nanjing.
Zhu Di looked out at the temple in the distance and couldn’t help but say, “It is said that Buddhists are universal, yet they are supported by the court and the people’s incense and oil offerings, and the monks are all unproductive, so what is the point of this practice?”
Yao Guangxiao, however, said directly, “Because the court needs it.”
Zhu Di heard, can not help but laugh: “Yes, the scholar, farmer, businessman, monks and lay people, always inevitably someone to take this comfort, let’s say the Queen, she is convinced of this, as long as the country is not in trouble, can be.”
After another ten miles or so, the foothills of that Zhongshan Mountain were only the undulating shadows of the mountains in the snow flurry.
Zhu Di then asked a guard who came with him, “How long will it take to reach Qixia Ferry?”
The guards said, “Your Majesty, another five or six miles will bring us there.”
Zhu Di heard, eyes slightly a sheet, invigorate the spirit, immediately speed up the horse, just he although wearing thick, but already in the horse cold shivering, mouth constantly spitting white gas.
At this time, he couldn’t help but curse again, “The north wears thicker, always warm, this Nanjing wears thicker, but also always feel the cold is pervasive, really fucking ……”
He grumbled all the way to the top, and when he thought of Peking, he suddenly had a few moments of decadence.
After another five or six miles, a guard pointed his finger ahead and said, “Your Majesty, the front should be the Qixia Ferry, there is a village there.”
Sure enough …… if you look at it from a distance, you can see that the water of the Yangtze River is heaving down, and it is faintly visible that the ferry is not far away. As for that village, but it is right in front of me.
Countless snow flakes slapped on Zhu’s face, looking at the scenery not far away, his stiff face before seeing some smiles.
Zhu showed a bit of urgency and said, “Go, go and see.”
At that moment, he went with the people to the front of the village.
Look at this village, there are only a hundred or so households, there is a brick house in the center of the center looks particularly notable, the rest are all mud thatched huts, depressed and gloomy.
At this point in time, the cold, almost no one outside, and just in the middle of the day, only a few smoke rising from some cooking.
The ridges of all the houses were covered with a thin layer of snow.
When Zhu Di saw this, he couldn’t help but frown.
The people are in distress, in fact, he is clearer than anyone else in his heart, Zhu Di is not a person who is only in the Forbidden City and does not know the plight of the people.
But this depression was still beyond his expectations.
You know, this is only twenty miles from the bustling city of Nanjing.
Not to mention that the land here is fertile and the affluence is already above that of the state capitals in the world.
There was not much hesitation, and at that moment he dismounted his horse, stepped on the thin snow, and walked in with a slow pace.
It seems that due to the arrival of strangers, some people heard the commotion outside and came out from the hut, but watched helplessly.
Zhu then saw an old crone, who was pulling his grandson out, and tightly trying to close the door again.
Zhu Di, holding his belly, hurriedly walked towards that old crone, saying at the same time, “Don’t go away, we are on the way here, and so far our stomachs are empty, I’ll give you money, and cook some meals for me will.”
That old crone stumbled, her grandson then curiously surveyed Zhu, it seems that people like Zhu’s line of people wearing brocade clothes, and horses, can rarely be seen.
At this time, Zhu had already reached the crone’s door.
The old crone then saluted in a panic, and with a few moments of timidity, said, “I …… I am afraid that the meals here are not to your taste.”
Zhu smiled brightly and said, “Only for the fruit of the stomach.”
When he said that, he gave a wink to Yiluoha.
That also lost Ha will understand, hastily took the broken silver to the old woman.
When the old woman saw this, her hands were shivering, and she was busy thanking him profusely, opening the door and welcoming Zhu and the others into the house.
“This damn snow.” Entering the house, Zhu patted the thin layer of snow covering his body, while surveying the situation inside this house.
But see this house is very simple, the so-called beds, but also some straw poles laid in the position against the mud wall only.
The modest house, which was both a place to sleep and rest and a place to eat and dine, had only a table with missing legs and four long benches.
Other than that, it was against the mud wall on the other side, and some of the tiles and stuff were in the other corner.
The old woman then began to build a fire for the stove.
In fact, at noon, the ordinary people generally do not make a fire to cook, the ordinary ancient people only eat two meals in the morning and evening, only the nobleman can be three or even four meals a day.
At that moment, the fire in that stove burned, and the house gradually warmed up.
It was then that Zhu realized that the crone was actually walking barefoot.
To know, at this time even he can not help but shudder, such weather, barefoot walking, but do not know how to survive.
On the contrary, the child, barely wearing a pair of not quite fit straw shoes, just this straw shoes, also padded with some straw poles, I do not know if there is a role of warmth.
Two people’s clothes are very tattered, look at this flower color clothing, Zhu only vaguely remember, like Hongwu ten years or so when more popular.
Before the Ming Ding world, there are no regulations on clothing, until Zhu Yuanzhang opened the country, until Hongwu ten years or so began to decree the distinction between the scholar, agricultural and industrial clothing and color, such as merchants, are not allowed to wear silk satin, etc., that is, the color of the fabric, there are also some differences.
And the …… crone is wearing is obviously before the Hongwu, the old washed fabric has long been tattered and torn, at least twenty years of light.
Zhu Di see this, can not help but sigh, then with Yao Guangxiao to this bench to sit down, the crone went to sieve a few bowls of boiling hot water to give them to eat.
Zhu where to eat, casually said, “Where did the man go?”
The old woman with Nanjing native voice slurred: “repair the river to go, last year is the beginning of the repair of the river, this year’s corv茅e, the men need to go to a month.”
“Your man is going too?”
“Since it is necessary to go.” The crone, as she tended to the stove, replied, “Anyone who becomes a man needs to go.”
Zhu Di heard, can not help but frown, he saw this old crone is only afraid of the age is not small, her son to go is understandable, but her man such an age, at least Tai Zu Gao Emperor when the provisions have been made.
But Zhu Di did not show what color, only casually said: “This is good, at least went to the riverbank, there are always two mouths to eat, this year’s winter extraordinarily cold, farming down, always not to no work.”
The old woman looked at Zhu strangely, and hastily averted her gaze, and then said, “The riverbank there, do not give food, need to bring their own dry food.”
Chu: “……”
Zhu Di then subconsciously gave Yao Guangxiao an odd look.
Yao Guangxiao only smiled and did not say anything.
He had always been a mere bystander, never getting involved, and as for what His Majesty thought, that was His Majesty’s business.
In a few moments, Zhu continued to survey the place, seemingly wanting to ask more questions, but contemplating something but keeping his mouth shut.
When the crone finally brought the food.
The hot food was placed in front of Zhu.
One of the forbidden guards was furious, coldly shouting, “You old woman is so ignorant, we give you so much silver, but you only open this for my master to eat?”
It turns out that this so-called food, but only mixed with yellow rice and broken rice porridge, porridge water is so thin that you can see the bottom of the bowl.
This is not human food, this is clearly animal food.
Zhu Di also face also unconsciously brought out a bit of anger, only to feel that this old crone is somewhat treacherous.
The old woman was horrified, her face went white for a moment, and she hurriedly lowered her head and said periodically, “No …… don’t dare to it, don’t dare to it …… home …… home just Only these food, usually can not afford to eat ……”
The guard did not believe it, so he went and lifted the rice jar in this old woman’s house.
A glance inside was silent.
Zhu Di see that guard face odd, then get up and go forward, but see that the rice tank …… pour there is still some rice, roughly is half a liter up and down, mostly yellow rice and broken rice mixed together.
Goodbye to the other altar jars, which were also empty.
Zhu broke his defense at once.
“Do you feed on these?”
“It has been good.” The crone said timidly.
“Where is the grain you plow?”
“Paid taxes, but also to return some grain, and then …… is the men to go to work, need to carry some grain to go, and sharecropping rent, also went to most.”
“This year is approaching, the rice is already gone, how will you live?” The more Zhu heard, the more shocked he felt.
“I’m afraid …… I’m afraid I’ll have to go to sue for a loan …… there at Master Huang’s house ……”
Zhu was surprised, “He’s willing to lend it?”
“Borrow one bucket and return three the next year, they’re willing to lend.”
Zhu took a deep breath, “What about the coming year?”
The crone panicked.
In fact, she couldn’t even think about the next year anymore.
But at this time was asked so straight to the face, she finally thought about it and said, “Sun’s son is big enough to herd cows for Master Huang, and then a little bigger, with the strength …… in addition to the corv茅e, you can rent a few more acres of land.”
Zhu couldn’t help but laugh and said, “How can I eat just these things?”
The old crone only felt that Zhu and the others were blaming themselves for the meals they provided, and busied herself with saying, “What can be eaten, what can be eaten …… or not …… or not, the lowly woman went to borrow a liter of white rice, always… . always do not teach your people to scold.”
Zhu didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Instead, he saw the old woman’s grandson, but he was staring at the yellow rice porridge on the table, swallowing his saliva.
Zhu then turned toward the boy and said, “You eat.”
The old crone’s grandson is probably really hungry, heard Zhu’s words as if a hungry wolf, all of a sudden pounced on it, but also do not care about the hot mouth, hollister france began to eat porridge.
The food was very sweet, and at this moment, Zhu believed that this could be the crone in front of him doing her best to provide their meals.
I’m just afraid that even this kind of meal is already extremely sumptuous in the eyes of his children.
Zhu Di sad brow, although hungry, but at this time he can not eat a tiny bit of food, just sighed, heart sighing, then on the left and right said: “take some more silver to her.”
Yizhuoha stepped forward and pulled out another piece of broken silver.
The crone didn’t dare to pick it up.
Zhu Di fell furious and cursed, “Give it all to her!”
Yizhuoha shivered with fear and busily stuffed the crumbs of silver he had with him into the old woman.
Zhu Di’s face was gloomy, not waiting for the crone to continue to claim thanks, then said, “How many of you here …… like you …… have?”
The old woman has not seen so much silver, hands cupped, the heart is afraid of shivering shivering said: “My family has two men, has been considered good, the nearby neighbors, some have only one male, separated …… next door to the family, last year, the man because of stealing to eat the food of the yellow master’s family, was killed …… This year they are afraid that they will not be able to survive ……”
Zhu took a deep breath and said, “The government is not circumspect?”
“Zhou Ji …… Zhou Ji’s ……”
Zhu Di’s heart was a little more at ease: “In this kind of weather, in the cold winter months, the government should find a way to issue some fuel wood and rice and flour to teach everyone to tide over the difficulties.”
The old woman, however, said, “Zhou Ji is the Huang family master …… Huang is a Xiu Cai, and can speak to the senior master ……”
Chu: “……”
Zhu didn’t say anything more, he was afraid that if he said anything else, he would tear down this mud paste hut.
Then he huffed and puffed.
This went out, but I don’t know if it was because his party was so loud that it disturbed the neighbors.
Zhu looked at the devastation, but suddenly had a very powerless feeling.
He can circumscribe this crone, but what about the thousands, even the hundreds of thousands and millions?
For a moment, the chest full of bravado and hesitation instantly dissipated cleanly.
In the distance, one could only see that the mansion built of green bricks covered quite a large area.
A few barks followed.
Zhu Di looked far away, but saw the house out of a few men, holding a wolfhound. The wolfhound is not small, hair color shiny, the leader of a satin-clothed man, hand pinch a piece of meat, smiling towards the wolfhound thrown.
When the wolfhound saw this, he whimpered and then sprinted at an arrow’s pace to spit up the meat and swallow it in one gulp.
A few of the other satin-clad loafers clasped their hands and all let out a laugh.
The man in the silk dress then laughed as well.
Zhu Di is extremely fond of wolfhounds, but when he saw it today, he had an indescribable feeling.
The front of the satin-clothed people, at this time has led people, swaggering over, this person smiled and said: “I heard that the manor came to the stranger, think it is the foot of people, I see the foot of people extraordinary, why not to the mansion to sit down.”
After saying that, this person actually courteously bowed and saluted towards Zhu Di.
Zhu frowned.
In fact, the other party is obviously also has the eyes of the people, just look at Zhu’s attire, can wear satin clothes, then it is by no means an ordinary people, but also will not be merchants, at this time, merchants have not had the guts to wear damask, after all, the Hongwu years from this time is not long yet.
Zhu then said, “Who are you?”
“The district’s last school postulant, Huang Renyi.” The man’s tone was tinged with modesty, and he saluted as if it were a ritual: “It is the native of this township.”
Zhu Di said, “Are you that Master Huang?”
Huang Renyi smiled and said, “This is all just the people of this township lifting up the love, the last school late generation has lived here for a long time, there are some good deeds in the weekdays, and thus quite loved, it’s cold here, it’s better to go into the mansion to bake a fire.”
Zhu Di heard this, but did not move, but stared dead at Huang Renyi and said, “Yes, it’s cold here.”
Huang Renyi, on the other hand, was still smiling.
He is a very good man with good manners.
Of course, all of this comes with a caveat, the caveat being that it is ‘human’ standing in front of him.
In his opinion, Zhu Di such a person, not after which eunuch, should be a scholar and lifer, this time people passing by, he stopped by to make friends, there will always be a use in the future.
Zhu Di suddenly fiercely tiger eyes a sheet, said sternly: “Who lift love you?”
Huang Renyi froze, he didn’t understand what Zhu meant.
Only Huang Renyi’s face pulled down slightly.
As the saying goes, the strongest dragon does not suppress the head of the snake, in his opinion, he is already considered considerate, but the other party is so rude, then it is really a bit unreasonable.
So he immediately changed his face, his countenance gradually gloomy, cold eyes sneered, “I see you, toast you do not eat, you still want to eat the penalty wine?”
Zhu Di immediately had a full of anger, at once raised a foot, then kicked towards that Huang Renyi’s belly.
The kick was just too fast.
Huang Renyi caught off guard, rumble, his entire body was kicked over, suddenly felt that the organs seem to be shifted, a butt fell to the ground.
He let out a wail, the pain covered his stomach, and shouted in his mouth, “Come …… to people …… to give me a fight. Don …… t have to be afraid, we have our own parent officials above to support, today is his first provocation, is to beat him to death, but also since there are people to give us the main ……”
As he spoke, a mouthful of blood spurted from his throat.
When Zhu Di heard that the other party had the backing of his parents, his heart was already indignant to the extreme.
Zhu Di mouth can not help but murmur softly, “Zhang Anshi …… you have failed my high hopes ah.”
Yao Guangxiao was only behind Zhu Di, not moving, just at this moment, he could understand Zhu Di’s feelings.
Since ancient times, the so-called virtue and talent, virtue in the talent first, this saying is by no means false, perhaps some people, this is quite offensive, that talent is far more important than virtue.
However, they do not realize that virtue is the most important quality of a person, and if a person has great talent, the greater the ability of such a person, the more harmful it may be to the whole world.
Which of the people who have been the scourge of the nation and the people in the past dynasties were not talented?
Therefore, since ancient times, a person’s sense of morality has always been much more important than his or her talents. It is better to use a mediocrity than a person of outstanding ability who is actually devoid of moral integrity.
This sentiment of His Majesty is obviously a great disappointment in certain things, a person he so valued, but found …… simply can not go to cite as the right hand of the left hand, in itself is an incomparable regret.
And at that moment, the servants around that Huang Renyi saw this and were also greatly alarmed, someone let go of the wolfhound and pointed in Zhu’s direction.
The wolfhound barked furiously and actually lunged at Zhu.
Although the forbidden guards had been on guard, the wolfhound pounced extremely fast and jumped in front of Zhu Di in a flash.
But then he saw Zhu take a deep breath.
Punch down.
Wolfhound is fast, and Zhu is even faster.
That one went straight over Wolfhound’s head.
Woohoo ……
The wolfhound tumbled to the ground, then his limbs began to wobble, and with another whimper, he actually fell head over heels.
Zhu had stepped forward and walked step by step to Huang Renyi’s side.
Huang Renyi tumbled in the mud, but he saw Zhu lifting up one leg, and then against Huang Renyi’s shoulder socket, which was a huge force that then pressed Huang Renyi’s shoulder down to the mud.
Huang Renyi couldn’t move, he shouted under his breath, “Spare your life, spare your life ……”
“Spare your life?” The force on Zhu’s feet gradually increased.
Huang Renyi seemed to be nailed to the mud ground, only feeling that the force that weighed as much as a thousand pounds pressed him to breathe.
Huang Renyi was afraid, he panicked and said, “Spare my life, spare my life, I am just an ordinary citizen …… No …… don t kill me.”
Zhu pursed his lips.
Huang Renyi’s shoulder socket, however, sank deeper and deeper, and half of his arm stepped into the mud.
Huang Renyi began a snot and a tear, he howled and struggled, but …… at the shoulder, it seems that the sound of bone cracking began, and he screamed wildly in fear: “Spare me, spare me, I give you silver …… I …… I and the magistrate is a close friend …… you …… you …… cough …… cough …… If you dare to touch a hair on my head, Zhou Zhixian will certainly not spare you ……”
Click ……
Zhu used a vicious slam on his feet.
Huang Renyi’s shoulder bone clicked and cracked in response.
In ancient times …… such a serious injury, especially the injury is the shoulder bone, basically there is no possibility of survival.
Huang Renyi was twitching on the ground, fainting from the pain, only his body was still twitching.
A hint of suspicion swept violently through Zhu’s eyes.
He looked up and glanced at the few servants behind this Huang Renyi in front of him.
These people take a look at Zhu Di so ruthless, obviously at this time has long been scared as if the color of the earth, actually even a little go up to help the courage is not.
“Fang …… Fang …… what did he say.” Zhu Di asked drily.
These few servants had long been scared to the point of softening their legs, and they all fell down, kowtowing as if they were pounding garlic, “Spare your life, spare your life.”
Zhu Di, however, ignored these, continued to angrily questioned, “Fang said that he and Zhou magistrate is a close friend …… is it?”
A servant kowtowed, “Yes, yes, yes, yes, Master Huang occasionally …… has to go to the county, and always pays a visit to Magistrate Zhou, and talks and laughs with Magistrate Zhou.”
Zhu Di, however, coldly said, “This is the Qixia Ferry, how come it is still under the jurisdiction of that Shangyuan County magistrate?”
The servants just kowtowed as if they were pounds.
Zhu bellowed, “Speak.”
A servant timidly said, “This …… this …… this …… here has always been the jurisdiction of Shangyuan County ah …… you … …Did you say Qixia Ferry? Qixia ferry …… is next door …… next door …… you have to cross a stream in front of you, and that’s where …… this is still Shangyuan County. Shangyuan County ……”
Speaking of which, this servant has been scared to the point of crying under Zhu Di’s glare, and hastily wailed again, “Spare your life, spare your life ……”
Chu: “……”
Yao Guangxiao: “……”
The forbidden guard who had claimed that this was the Qixia Ferry, began to move his body back silently and unobtrusively.
