First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Biao comforted them softly and asked: Old man, are there any old and young in the dead couple's family?

The village elder looked at the big men in iron armor in the room and couldn't help swallowing. He didn't react until Zhu Biao repeated it again. He was so frightened that he was about to kneel on the ground, Zhu Biao looked helpless.

But there is no way, most of the villagers have suffered from wars, and the Ming Dynasty has just founded the country, so it has no actual influence on the countryside.

Zhu Biao looked at the young men whose legs and feet were trembling, so he asked questions lazily, and said bluntly: Don't be afraid, you are all my citizens of Ming Dynasty, and now my subordinates made a mistake and killed someone. The military law should be beheaded! So the village elders are invited to be a witness, and if the deceased has children in his family, he will be properly settled.

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, the young people and elders of Liuli Village on the ground looked at him in disbelief. Their Liuli Village is located next to the official road, and many troops passed by in the early years. People are killed when they die, and no one has ever punished any soldiers.

Zhu Biao looked at them in disbelief and said, It's been a year since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Haven't the village elders heard of it?

The old man burst into tears, and said tremblingly, Zhu...Emperor Zhu's Ming Dynasty?

Zhu Biao smiled and said: That's right, it's Emperor Zhu's Daming! Don't be afraid, everything is governed by the law, and there are no people who can wantonly kill my Daming.

Only then did the village elder understand, he broke free from the young man who was supporting him, and kowtowed deeply to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao didn't even have time to avoid it, so he had to ask someone to help the village elder quickly: There is no need to be polite, let's talk about their family's situation!

The village elder stood up and replied: Sanhu is my nephew. His father and his two elder brothers were taken away by the conscription and never came back. His old mother also left last year, and his wife just married. No baby.

Zhu Biao felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, but he was also relieved. If the man in the family died, if they were left alone, it would be difficult for them to survive in this cruel era.

The villagers are simple, but Zhu Biao never thinks that simplicity is a compliment. They can treat you well without reservation, or treat you badly without bottom line.

Zhu Biao must have said in a solemn voice: Since the village chief is the uncle of the deceased, please watch me, Daming Junlu, avenge your nephew.

After speaking, he led a room full of people to an open space surrounded by people. Inside, nine people knelt down on the ground with their hands bound, and their mouths were stuffed with cloth.

Zhu Biao frowned and asked, Why are you blocking your mouth?

Hou Huagao of Guangde who was on the side returned and said: These people know that they are going to die, and they have already started to speak obscenities. They are afraid that the general's ears will be polluted, so let people seal their mouths!

After Zhu Biao nodded, he walked into the middle with the hilt of his sword, glanced around and shouted loudly: I think you all know what they did. You will see what punishment they should be punished for violating military laws. , I don’t want to say more, you can do it yourself!

Zhu Biao turned around and looked directly at the crazy eyes of those people. Their pupils were dilated, their eyes were bloodshot, and there was undisguised hatred in their eyes.

Zhu Biao watched them blankly, until their heads flew high, a foot of blood spurted out of their necks, and their headless bodies fell powerlessly to the ground.

Zhu Biao felt a little cold in his heart, his heart seemed to be twitching, everything in front of him seemed to be blurred, all the colors were a little blurred, Zhu Biao smelled the bloody smell in the air, held the hilt of the sword tightly with his right hand, and then turned Turning around, he said to the soldiers with no expression on his face: Military law is merciless, I will never let anyone who violates military law go!

Everyone was silent. They were not afraid of the punishment of being beheaded, but they were afraid that a fourteen-year-old boy from the royal family would dare to face such a bloody scene without the slightest fearful reaction.

Zhu Biao ignored them and walked directly back to the big tent of the Chinese army. No one dared to follow except Liu Jin. After entering the tent, Zhu Biao didn't say a word, just sat in a chair and closed his eyes to meditate.

Liu Jin went to pour a cup of hot tea and put it on the table in front of Zhu Biao. Just as she was about to say something, she was startled by Zhu Biao who suddenly opened her eyes. Knocked over and fell right in front of her eyes, Liu Jin's heart was like a cup that kept bouncing and falling.

After a long while there was no sound, Liu Jin looked up slightly and saw Zhu Biao leaning on the chair and staring blankly at the front, Liu Jin felt a pain in his heart, wishing to go out and rescue those dogs and chew them to death.

Silently got up, went to pour another cup of tea, this time Zhu Biao took a sip and said: Go and call Mu Ying and Lan Yu.

Liu Jin left as promised, and Zhu Biao drank his tea one after another, wondering what he was thinking.

After a while, Quan Xu Lanyu and Mu Ying walked in, seeing Zhu Biao's expression, she thought she was a little frightened, Mu Ying said, You are not feeling well, I will send the military doctor here.

Zhu Biao glanced at them, but still didn't speak, they seemed to understand something from Zhu Biao's eyes.

Mu Ying frowned and said: You just need to beat it, it's not easy to make a big deal out of it.

Lan Yu lowered her head and said, Only by His Highness's order!

Zhu Biao said with a cold expression: When are you going to tell me about this!

Neither of them dared to speak anymore, they both knelt on one knee and waited for Zhu Biao's decision.

Zhu Biao was constantly weighing in his mind, whether this matter could be big or small, loose or tight, it all depended on his will.

Just before the beheading just now, Quan Xu reported something to Zhu Biao. It turned out that not only nine people but ten were brought back!

But they were stopped before they entered the camp, and there were only nine of them left when they entered the camp. The one who left was the leader of this case and the captain of the scout team.

His name was Hua An, and he was the nephew of Guangde Hou Huagao. Of course, a Marquis of Guangde is nothing in the middle of the army, but he is a member of Chang Yuchun, so he has enough strength to deceive the world.

It's a pity that the Pro-Army Duwei's Mansion is not in vain. In addition to the 30,000 pro-army on the surface, there are still unknown numbers hidden in the 200,000 army. It is even not certain who the cronies around the generals are loyal to.

Of course, those generals knew these things well, but they still did it, just using the power of the regular line to make Zhu Biao turn a blind eye.

After all, they are Zhu Biao's courtiers after all, and the couple who died outside are just local pariahs, and didn't they push out nine people to pay for their lives!

As for Chang Yuchun's meaning, it was obvious from Lan Yu's attitude, he said that he only obeyed His Highness's orders, that is to say, as long as Zhu Biao made up his mind, they would definitely obey.

But Chang Yuchun didn't come to discuss with him in person, which meant that he still hoped that this matter would just go away, after all, Marquis Guangde was also the backbone of his Chang Clan.

During this period of time, I really feel that I like writing books, and the more I write, the more comfortable I am, so please support me a lot. If I can maintain my grades and earn my living by writing books, I will be ready to work full-time (▽｀)

Maybe this book can't even solve food and clothing, but it's good to be able to do what I like. I don't like to contact people and I'm a bit introverted. Writing a book can make me very relaxed, and there are book friends who are willing to read me book, that's really good.
