Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

In the backyard of Yingtianfu Yamen, Zhu Cihong sat silently on the steps, closed his eyes and recuperated, the officials standing below him were very uncomfortable, waiting was the most uncomfortable thing, especially Ruan Siyuan, others were waiting for things that had nothing to do with him, but he was waiting for something related to himself, or something that might be beheaded, and he was the most panicked present.

"Your Highness, bring it!" Suddenly

, Li Ruolian's voice broke the silence around him, and everyone turned their heads to look when they heard the words, only to see Li Ruolian walking in with the two of them, coming to the front and kneeling.

"Weichen should be sentenced by Tianfu to fight for money and knock to see His Royal Highness the Prince!" one

of them knelt down and kowtowed, while the other knelt in the place and trembled, unable to say a word, and looked at Ruan Siyuan from time to time.

"Qian Qianyi, did he admit his mistake?"

Zhu Cihong pointed to the person kneeling next to Qian Zheng.

"It's him!" Qian

Qianyi pointed angrily at the man.

"What's your name?" Zhu

Cihong asked lightly.

"Back to Your Highness...... Sinner...... Plum...... Tree. As

soon as Li Shu saw Qian Qianyi coming to him in a red-robed official uniform, he knew that he was finished, the person who threatened and blackmailed that day was actually a high-ranking official above the third rank of the imperial court, even Fu Yin couldn't protect him this time, and in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.

"You bastard!" Ruan

Siyuan came directly to Li Shu's side, kicked him to the ground, pointed at the other party's nose and scolded angrily: "Take advantage of the absence of this official, abuse your power, oppress the people, and wait for the punishment to ...... you Balabala

said some things and some didn't come to cover up!" As he spoke, he glanced at Li Shu frantically, squatted down and slapped Li Shu in the face a few times, but said in a low voice: "You confess your guilt yourself, don't talk nonsense, I will return a large sum of money to your family, otherwise your whole family will die."

Li Shu endured the pain on his face, and looked at Ruan Siyuan in despair, it seemed that he was going to die, but it was enough to be able to keep the family, otherwise if Ruan Siyuan came out, it would offend not only Ruan Siyuan, but also the officials who did the same thing, and the whole family would die with him at that time, he knew that at this time, he could only admit it alone.

Zhu Cihong looked at Ruan Siyuan's small movements, he didn't know the ghost thoughts in this person's heart, but it didn't matter, it all depended on whether this plum tree was on the road, and if he didn't go on the road, he would just cut down the plum tree, anyway, Ruan Siyuan's crimes were many, not bad for this one, this one.

"Say, who made you do it, and who will hand over the looted money!" Qian

Qianyi directly pointed the finger at Ruan Siyuan.

Ruan Siyuan glanced at Qian Qianyi viciously, this thing is like a mad dog, chasing him and biting indiscriminately, this Li Shu is the official of Ying Tianfu, he is Ying Tianfu Yin, asking like this, isn't it implying that he is the instigator behind the scenes, and the scavenged people's fat and people's ointment are handed over to him as this Fu Yin.

"Yes, make it clear!"

Ruan Siyuan saw Li Shu's expression in a trance, and he directly drank violently, lowered his head, and looked at Li Shu fiercely, which made Li Shu afraid.

"It's all my idea, and I thought of using this method to make some money while Lord Ruan was not in Nanjing.

Li Shu sighed, for the safety of his family, he still chose to carry it alone.

"Your crime is quite big, Qian Qianyi, according to the law of Da Ming, how should this Li Shu be handled.

Zhu Cihong glanced at Ruan Siyuan lightly, and then looked at Qian Qianyi and asked.

"Returning to Your Highness, it is a great crime to use the policy that has long been abolished to embezzle and exploit the people, and according to the law, it should be copied and beheaded!"

Qian Qianyi replied immediately.

When Zheng Sanjun heard this, he retracted his feet that he just wanted to step out of, it stands to reason that he is the official of Nanjing, and the secretary of the criminal department, this question should be answered by him, but compared with the servants of the six departments of the capital, although he has a high grade on the surface, but the officialdom status and authority are not as good as the officials of the six departments of the capital, so he simply didn't talk much, and originally wanted to give Li Shu a lighter sentence.

"Your Highness, the little one knows his mistakes, please let His Highness take it lightly, these days, the little one has only taken a total of two silver and silver, I am willing to hand it all over, Your Highness is gracious!!"

Li Shu was immediately startled when he heard that he was going to be beheaded all over the door, and he was beheaded all over the door, so what did he do with so much oil and water, and what was the point of helping Ruan Siyuan carry all the sins.

"Your Royal Highness, since Li Shu took the initiative to admit his guilt, did not quibble too much, and did not embezzle much money, and took the initiative to hand over all the money, it can be regarded as a kind of reform, the minister's suggestion is that Li Shu's capital crime is inevitable, but his family can be exempted from the death penalty and be punished lightly.

Ruan Siyuan also hurriedly stood up to intercede for Li Shu, and continued: "Otherwise, no one will dare to cooperate with the imperial court so actively in the future." Ruan

Siyuan really didn't expect that the prince would actually ask a criminal from the Ministry of Rites how to deal with it, and Qian Qianyi actually jumped out and said that he was all over the place, in his expectation, the prince should ask Zheng Sanjun, the secretary of the Ministry and the Ministry of Punishment, right, and then only let Li Shu be sentenced to death.

Zhu Cihong glanced at Ruan Siyuan, ignored him, but looked at Li Shu and said, "Raise your head."

Hearing this, Li Shu raised his head tremblingly, and looked timidly at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the steps.

"If it is the mastermind, it is certain to be beheaded all over the house, but if it is to obey orders, then you will only kill the head alone, your family will not only not deal with it, but will also prevent the mastermind behind the scenes from retaliating, and arrange for your family to go to the Beizhili Agricultural Division to farm, not to mention the rich and expensive, but it is no problem to eat and drink for a lifetime.

Zhu Cihong stared at Li Shu's eyes with flat eyes, looked at the other party, and said: "Who is the mastermind behind the scenes, I will give you another chance to think about it."

When Li Shu heard this, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his heart, but these words made Ruan Siyuan's heart skip a beat, His Royal Highness's words were too obvious, and he felt that he was meant to listen to them.

"Your Highness, it's Ruan Siyuan, it's he who asked us to collect the fire consumption, and he also acquiesced in the conscription, and half of the money we collected must be handed over to him. Li

Shu thought for a while and directly betrayed Ruan Siyuan, and he was charged with all the crimes by himself, but he still inevitably bitten the door and beheaded him, so it was better to confess Ruan Siyuan, protect the whole family, and think about it, as a dignified prince, he would not lie to him.

"Ruan Siyuan, what do you say?"

Zhu Cihong looked at the other party.

"Your Highness, this person is framed, he has no evidence, you can say anything!" Ruan

Siyuan immediately shouted, although he was a little flustered in his heart, but his thinking was clear, even if Li Shu insisted that he was the mastermind behind the scenes, but it was only verbal, and there was no real evidence.

Li Ruolian glanced at Qian Zheng at this time, the latter understood in seconds, and then stood up.

"Your Highness, Weichen wants to expose and report Ying Tianfu Yin

Ruan Siyuan!" Qian Zheng suddenly stood up, making Ruan Siyuan's face change, and he continued: " Ruan Siyuan's behavior is indeed as Li Shu said, it has always been to let the officials in the yamen continue to collect fire consumption from the people, conceal the people in the prefectures and counties of Yingtianfu, embezzle taxes from people, and continue to drive the conscripts to do coolies, forcing them to pay money to be exempted from conscription, and the micro-ministers are isolated and excluded because they did not collect the money and did not go along with them, these micro-ministers are all recorded, please take a look

at them!" "Your Highness!"

Ruan Siyuan finally completely broke the defense, how could it all be aimed at him, but he also quibbled: " These two people are conspiring to frame me, and this record can also be fake, or it can be written out of scribble to frame me!" Zhu

Cihong turned the booklet that Li Ruolian handed over, opened it, frowned, and after a while, directly put the booklet at Ruan Siyuan's feet, and scolded: "Now that the human and physical evidence is gathered, Qian Qianyi has directly encountered Li Shu committing a crime, and you are still quibbling

!" "You really deserve to die, come here!"

"The minister is here!".

Li Ruolian echoed.

"Arrest Ruan Siyuan, remove him from his position as the Yin of the Tianfu Mansion, do not repent, openly resist the policies of the imperial court, and add one level to the crime of knowing the law and breaking the law, and raze the three clans!" Zhu

Cihong plans to test the water first, and then say, to see how this group of nobles reacts, whether they will be twisted into a rope, and see who dares to jump out and say a word of opposition, and when the time comes, he will remember it, but it is not as simple as copying and beheading all over the house, and it is not the end of not destroying the three clans.

"I'm not convinced

!" Ruan Siyuan roared angrily, and said: "Even if you are the prince, you have no right to dispose of me!" What

are you kidding, he is a dignified high-ranking official, the prince does not have the power to raze his three clans, this prince looks very tender in front, Ma De, he is really ruthless, he wants to kill Li Shu in front of him, but now he wants to raze his three clans!

Everyone was also taken aback when they heard this verdict, to be honest, these charges are by no means false accusations for Ruan Siyuan, because they all know that Ruan Siyuan has done all these things, and if he really wants to investigate, the evidence of the crime is one by one, but according to the prince's method, if they are concocted in the same way, isn't it the same?

They are not stupid, but they are still very smart, where is this Li Shu and Qian Zheng are doing Ruan Siyuan, Qian Qianyi may have the element of revenge, but it is definitely not what he means alone, this is obviously His Highness is doing Ruan Siyuan.

Just now, that Jinyi guard took Qian Qianyi to recognize people, this is obviously communicating with Qian Zheng in advance, to put it bluntly, the prince wants to kill Ruan Siyuan

! As early as the moment Qian Qianyi met Li Shu to commit a crime, it is estimated that he has thought about it

! At this moment, they all admitted that they had underestimated this young prince before, and they looked stunned, so foolish, and they had nothing to say, on the surface, the prince lost, but his heart was very black, and his sense of revenge was really strong!

If you can't talk about them, you can play yin!

"His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Suddenly, Zhu Guobi stood up from the crowd.
