Ming Dynasty: Is a mere unruly commoner rebelling against heaven?

Chapter 6: When I handle cases, I don't need evidence, I only need a list!

Zhu You樘 lowered his head, looking at Zhou Shi, who was lost in thought with a head full of white hair, and sighed in his heart with pity.

He had transmigrated and inherited all of Zhu You樘's memories and emotions.

It was as if he had lived two lives, and the memories of Zhu You樘's childhood were still vivid in his mind, unforgettable.

He had experienced everything that Zhu You樘 had experienced.

Zhu You樘 was able to grow up smoothly and was not eliminated by Consort Wan. The two people he should be most grateful to are Empress Wu, who was deposed, and his grandmother, Zhou Shi.

Zhou Shi was the biological mother of Emperor Xianzong, and Emperor Xianzong was very respectful and filial to her.

After Zhu You樘's background was exposed, Zhu You樘's biological mother, Ji Shi, and the eunuch Zhang Min suddenly died.

At the same time, Consort Wan tried every means to eliminate Zhu You樘 day and night.

In order to protect Zhu You樘, Empress Wu, who had been deposed by Emperor Xianzong, took him by her side and raised him as her own son.

Zhou Shi also often called Zhu You樘 to her side and personally educated him.

Zhou Shi deserves the most credit for Zhu You樘 being able to inherit the throne alive.

But she shouldn't have, she shouldn't have, she shouldn't have妄想 to seize the emperor's power.

This world, this imperial power, belongs to Zhu You樘 alone!

Whoever妄想 to seize his power will die!

No matter who it is!

The most ruthless is the imperial family.

At this moment, Zhu You樘 had a deeper understanding of this sentence.

Zhu You樘 pondered for a while, and finally ordered: "Zhou Shi's food, clothing, and servants shall remain the same, and there shall be no reduction."

"Anyone who reduces it will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!"

This was the last bit of face that Zhu You樘 gave to Zhou Shi.

Zhou Shi thanked him bitterly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Zhu You樘 waved his hand, and several Eastern Depot spies stepped forward to help Zhou Shi back to Cining Palace.

Along with her were the eunuchs and maids who originally served Zhou Shi in Cining Palace.

After Zhou Shi left, Zhu You樘's mood was a little heavy.

He casually waved his hand to dispose of Wei Xing.

"Drag him out and kill him."

"Yes!"

Wei Xing cried with tears and snot, kowtowing non-stop: "Please, Your Majesty, have mercy, please, Your Majesty, have mercy!"

The Eastern Depot spies stepped forward quickly and dragged Wei Xing away.

"Huai En."

"This old servant is here."

Zhu You樘 sat back on the dragon throne: "Immediately start cleaning up the palace and the Eastern Depot. Any remaining forces of Zhou Shi must be eliminated."

"It is better to kill a hundred by mistake than to let one go, understand?"

"This old servant understands."

Zhu You樘 waved his hand, and Huai En respectfully withdrew from Qianqing Palace.

After leaving Qianqing Palace, a strong murderous aura appeared on Huai En's face.

Tonight, the harem must be thoroughly cleaned!

After Huai En left, Zhu You樘 looked at Mou Bin again.

"Did you get the list?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have obtained it."

Mou Bin took out a secret letter from his怀里 and respectfully presented it to Zhu You樘.

This list contained a total of one hundred and thirty-eight names, all of whom were important officials in the锦衣卫.

It even involved some relatives of the emperor.

Mou Bin was a little uneasy. He was wondering if the number of names on this list was too large and if the people involved were too broad?

If His Majesty did not intend to make a big deal out of this matter, then this list would be a bit offensive.

Zhu You樘 picked up the list and felt a little strange in his heart. Why was this list so thin?

After just a glance, his face became as gloomy as ink.

Zhu You樘 angrily slapped the table and threw the list in his hand heavily on Mou Bin's face.

"Is this how you handle affairs for me?"

"Zhou Shi and Wan Shi have been running the 锦衣卫 for more than ten years, and they only have more than a hundred accomplices?"

"Mou Bin, are you糊弄 me?!"

These words immediately made Mou Bin feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and he felt cold from head to toe.

He hurriedly knelt down in front of Zhu You樘 and kowtowed twice loudly: "This humble servant dares not! This humble servant would never dare!"

"Dare not? Then why are there only more than a hundred names on the list?"

Faced with Zhu You樘's stern questioning, Mou Bin trembled and could not say a complete sentence.

Mou Bin originally thought that there were already enough names on the list and was afraid of angering Zhu You樘.

But at this time, Zhu You樘 was indeed angry.

But he was not angry because there were too many people, but because there were too few people.

A political force that had been entrenched for more than ten years during the Chenghua era only had more than a hundred accomplices.

Who would believe that?

Mou Bin's heart turned fierce, and he hurriedly asked for orders: "This subordinate...this subordinate was negligent. I will go back and re-examine it immediately, and I will definitely not let go of any remnants!"

Mou Bin was determined that after returning this time, he would thoroughly investigate the 锦衣卫.

Anyone who had a close relationship with Wan Tong before would be captured and three to five hundred people would be killed to establish the prestige of the 锦衣卫!

Zhu You樘 took a sip of tea: "No need, everyone is dead, what's the point of审问ing?"

Mou Bin's eyes widened, and he felt his legs weaken, and even his head became dizzy.

What does His Majesty mean?

He is not letting him审问?

Does that mean that His Majesty has lost trust in him?

Mou Bin was not afraid of offending people or killing people, but he was only afraid that His Majesty would no longer trust him.

Mou Bin felt extremely regretful in his heart and hurriedly wanted to say a few words to fight for himself, but Zhu You樘 issued another order.

"No need to审问, just go and get Zhou Shi's family tree and kill them according to the family tree."

Mou Bin's whole body shook, and he was so shocked that he forgot his etiquette.

"But Your Majesty, there is no evidence for this?"

Zhu You樘 put down the teacup in his hand and stared at Mou Bin coldly.

"When I handle cases, I don't need evidence, I only need a list!"

Meeting Zhu You樘's cold eyes, Mou Bin felt fear in his heart and hurriedly kowtowed to accept the order.

"This humble servant obeys!"

"Alright, go down."

"Yes!"

After Mou Bin left Qianqing Palace, he walked quickly towards the palace gate.

It was raining heavily, but Mou Bin could still smell the strong bloody smell floating in the air.

Every two steps he took, he could hear a low groan, and people were constantly disappearing forever from the rainy night of the palace.

The entire palace was shrouded in a terrifying high pressure.

Tonight, everyone is in danger!

Mou Bin felt the efficiency of the Eastern Depot spies in handling cases, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.

The 锦衣卫 can no longer hide, they must let His Majesty see that the 锦衣卫's刀 is still sharp!

At least, they must not be outdone by the Eastern Depot!

Thinking of this, Mou Bin's expression became more serious, his steps became faster, and his whole body was filled with a murderous aura.

The great purge in the palace caused a lot of commotion.

The originally lively Cining Palace was now covered with clouds of sorrow.

The eunuchs and maids of Cining Palace were all crying and packing up Zhou Shi's belongings.

Before tonight, serving Zhou Shi was a good job that everyone in the palace envied.

Who knew that overnight, they would have to move from the magnificent Cining Palace to the dark and cold Qingning Palace in the cold palace.

And His Majesty's order was to immediately enter the palace. After they returned from Qianqing Palace, they immediately started preparing to move, without even a moment to rest.

Listening to the movements coming from outside the palace from time to time, everyone trembled with fear, and many eunuchs and maids were secretly wiping their tears.

Zhou Shi, who had been deprived of her title, sat alone on the soft couch, looking at the rainy night outside the window, silently.
