I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

"Considering the emperor, you and your grandson attach great importance to Xia Shangshu, I didn't write my name on it, so the people below also silenced it."

As he spoke, he took out a confession from his bosom and placed it in front of Zhu Pangpang.

Looking at the bloody handprints and what was written on it, Zhu Pangpang heaved a sigh of relief.

The above did not clearly point out that Xia Yuanji's concubine accepted the gift, but Xia Yuanji acquiesced.

And the time to receive the gifts was during the time when Xia Yuanji went to sea with the old man and his son.

But then Zhu Pangpang was a little embarrassed.

According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, if the family members of an official accept bribes, even if the official does not know about it, the official will be punished as a fee.

Moreover, none of the convicted officials pleaded not guilty.

Jin Yiwei is not a decoration, except for the real tough guys, even if they are innocent after entering, they can say something.

"Let this thing go to me first. When you go to arrest people, call Xia Yuanji over!"

"Yes!"

Ji Gang obeyed, turned and walked out of the palace, and waved to hundreds of Jinyi guards waiting outside the palace.

In an instant, hundreds of Jinyiwei on standby, led by hundreds of households, rushed to the various yamen in Jinling.

The yamen servants on duty at each yamen didn't dare to stop them when they saw Jin Yiwei, and hid aside tremblingly.

The officials who were working in various yamen were stunned when they saw the Jin Yiwei rushing in.

Some people noticed Jin Yiwei's cold expression, and their hearts skipped a beat, with a bad premonition.

Then their hunch was confirmed.

The leader Jin Yiwei took out a list, confirmed his identity, and waved his hand directly to order the arrest.

"What are you doing, is this a place for you to be presumptuous..."

"I'm wronged, don't arrest me, I'm really wronged..."

The captured officials struggled desperately, shouting that they were wronged.

If you don't cry out for injustice at this time, you won't have the chance to cry out when you arrive at Jinyiwei.

Seeing from their past relationships, the colleagues around them might help them, but when they arrived at the Jinyiwei yamen, they shouted the more excited the Jinyiwei who were executing the execution.

Ji Gang from the household department came in person.

As soon as Ji Gang entered the door, Xia Yuanji received the news from behind.

Xia Yuanji, who was busy with logistics in the north, knew that there would be no good for the Commander Jin Yiwei to come over, so he quickly put down his work and greeted him.

"Brother Ji, this is..."

Since the two parties are regarded as a camp that often meet, they usually do not address each other as adults, but as brothers.

Ji Gang asked his subordinates to wait by the side first, then took Xia Yuanji by the hand and walked aside.

"Brother, don't ask other questions, you go to the prince first and settle your own affairs."

"You were very dangerous just now. If His Royal Highness had not expected to write a letter to intercede for you, I would have stopped the matter. I'm afraid you would not be able to protect yourself!"

Xia Yuanji's heart skipped a beat, and he cupped his hands at Ji Gang, without asking anything, and walked away as fast as a palace.

After Xia Yuanji left, the smile on Ji Gang's face disappeared in an instant.

Looking at the household official who stared at him flusteredly, Ji Gang waved his hand and shouted coldly.

"Arrest people, anyone who dares to resist, kill without mercy!"

Chapter 233: Killing His Wife and Proving the Way, Xia Yuanji!

Xia Yuanji came to the palace with anxiety in his heart.

It would be a lie to say that you are not afraid.

Don't think he is quite funny on weekdays, and he has a good relationship with the three bosses.

But in a high position, he understands that sometimes relationships are not everything.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Lan Yu were called brothers and sisters, and Li Shanchang and others were called Mr.

When the knife is cut, it is still ruthless.

People from the old Zhu's family, if you don't offend their bottom line interests, it's very easy to talk.

Once their bottom line and interests are violated, they will turn around faster than anyone else.

The matter of being able to dispatch the commander of Jinyiwei is definitely not a small matter.

Maybe it will be another shocking catastrophe.

And he was called to the palace, but was not arrested on the spot.

Then it just means that he is not the mastermind identified by the royal family, but has some ties to him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help sighing.

"I, Xia Yuanji, have been a clean and honest official all my life, working hard for the country and the people. I never thought that such a day would come."

"Oh, time is fate!"

"That's all, whether I live or die depends on how useful I am to the royal family."

The people in the palace seemed to have been ordered long ago.

As soon as Xia Yuanji arrived, he didn't even report, and took him directly into the Shang's study.

As soon as he entered Shang's study room, Xia Yuanji knelt down on the ground without saying a word.

"I will die!"

Zhu Pangpang, who was considering where to transfer someone to fill the vacancy, looked down at Xia Yuanji who had his head on the ground, sighed, and shook his head.

Raising his hand and waving, the personal eunuch next to him delivered the confession to Xia Yuanji.

"Look at it first! After reading it, let's talk about how to deal with your business."

Xia Yuanji took the confession with both hands, and when he saw the bloody handprint on it, his heart felt cold.

When I saw the above content, my eyes went dark.

Bitches be damned.

He didn't expect that he had been law-abiding all his life, but he fell on his concubine.

Xia Yuanji didn't defend himself, nor did he appeal for grievances.Silently took off his black hat, knelt on the ground and waited for Zhu Pangpang's verdict.

Seeing Xia Yuanji's actions, Zhu Pangpang nodded secretly.

Sure enough, as the son said, this person is law-abiding, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and can be reused.

I explained it to him in a letter a few days ago.

Xia Yuanji will definitely not participate in it, but he will definitely be implicated.

It is suggested that a small punishment is enough, and there is no need to go to war.

Thinking of the explanation in his son's letter, Zhu Pangpang got up and walked down, and put the black gauze hat on Xia Yuanji's head.

"The emperor was very angry at first, thinking that this is your serious dereliction of duty, and wants to arrest you as well in Jinyiwei."

"Later, it was my son who begged for your mercy and was spared from prison!"

Xia Yuanji didn't speak when he heard the words, but kowtowed in the northeast direction.

"But this matter is your dereliction of duty after all, and it will be difficult to convince the public without punishment."

"I am willing to accept all punishment!"

Zhu Pangpang nodded.

"What I mean is, if you are resigned from your position as Minister of the Household Department, but you can't find anyone for a while, you can temporarily lead the Household Department, and other things will be discussed later."

After finishing the punishment, Zhu Pangpang patted Xia Yuanji on the shoulder.

"Go out, get twenty court sticks, and then go back and deal with the family affairs, rest at home today, and go to the household department tomorrow!"

"I thank the emperor, Your Highness the Crown Prince, and Your Highness the Grandson!"

Xia Yuanji kowtowed again, stood up with Zhu Pangpang's support, glanced at Zhu Pangpang gratefully, turned around and went out to receive the punishment.

The royal family showed great kindness to him this time, and I am afraid that Xia Yuanji will never get up again in this life.

If this matter was placed in the Hongwu Dynasty, not to mention ransacking the house and beheading, he would not be able to escape prison.

Gritting his teeth and taking 20 boards, Xia Yuanji ignored the pain in his buttocks, angrily limped back home under the curious eyes of the palace people.

As soon as he entered the house, regardless of the astonished servants, Xia Yuanji rushed directly into the living room, picked up the sword that was enshrined on the eucalyptus, and was given to him by the old man when he went out with the old man.

This sword has been with him for many years, and it has not been stained with a trace of blood.

"Once!"

The sword was unsheathed, and the cold light was cold.

With a sword in one hand and a scabbard in the other, Xia Yuanji limped towards the backyard.

"My God, what's the matter with you."

His wife, who received the news, bumped into the murderous Xia Yuanji as soon as she left the backyard.

"Get out of the way!"

Pushing away his wife who was supporting him, Xia Yuanji rushed towards a small courtyard with evil eyes.

Kicking open the courtyard door, Xia Yuanji let out an angry roar.

"Bitch, get out!"

After getting up, the madam looked at his master's murderous look, and felt distressed and scared in his heart.

"Master, what's going on here? How did Tweety provoke you."

Xia Yuanji, this little concubine, is his wife's personal maid.

Later, when the servant had a child, Xia Yuanji gave her a title.

Maybe it was because of the servant girl, after this little concubine came to power, except for Xia Yuanji spending the night with her.

She gets up early every morning to serve her wife, and the sisterhood between the two has always been very good.

Now seeing his master holding a sword and looking murderous, his wife thought that his master was angry outside and came back to take murderous intent from his family, so she wanted to persuade her and beg for mercy from those who posted her.

"You know what a fart, this bitch almost killed our whole family."

Xia Yuanji turned around and cursed, pushed everyone out, and closed the courtyard door.

Then he rushed into the house with a sword in his hand.

With such a big commotion outside, the concubine naturally knew about it.

She originally planned to go out, but from the crack of the door, she saw her master holding a sword in a murderous look, and then thought of the gift her father received for her some time ago, she was flustered.

In fear, he hid directly under the table, shivering while hugging the legs of the table.

"Peng!"

The door was knocked open, Xia Yuanji rushed in with red eyes, swung his sword and slashed at the concubine under the table.

"Bitch, go to hell!"

After a while, screams sounded in the courtyard, and everyone outside the door was frightened.

After about a quarter of an hour, the closed courtyard door was opened.

Xia Yuanji was covered in blood, and walked out holding a blood-stained sword.

"Throw that bitch into a mass grave for me, and send me all the valuables in her house to the household department."

After finishing speaking, Xia Yuanji ignored the stunned people, returned to his room, changed his clothes and went to the household department to work.

Rest is impossible to rest.

Now the household department is almost empty, if I can't go there by myself, who will handle so many things?

Now when the fighting in the north is fierce, if you delay for a while, you don't know how many lives will be lost because of it.
