"Hurry up and open the door! Otherwise, I will kick your door open!"

Inside the house.

The boy didn't panic after hearing Zhou Xi's words.

And with a disdainful smile, he continued to scold:

"I bother!"

"A small thousand households, dare to come to my Ding's mansion to be a domineering?"

"Do you know who the uncle of the master in my family is?"

"Squeezing a petty official like you to death is like crushing an ant!"

Chapter 119 Give Li Shan some face

The quarrel between the two quickly attracted the attention of other people in the courtyard.

A man with a rather mature voice asked:

"Xiao Zhao, who are you arguing with?"

The boy inside the door replied:

"His grandma's, a guy with a bad brain, probably because he drank too much, he insisted on calling himself Qianhu, and asked me to open the door..."

When Zhou Xi heard that the boy in the door dared to say that he was out of his mind, he was so angry that his seven orifices were smoked.

The mature voice said:

"Open the door and take a look. If it's really a thousand households in the guard, you have to show some face."

then.

creak.

The back door was opened.

The boy who opened the door was startled when he saw a group of people standing at the door, thinking that some daring thief was tricking him into opening the door so that he could enter the house and steal.

But when he saw a seven or eight-year-old child standing among the group of people, he felt relieved.

I have never seen any gang of thieves committing crimes with children around them.

"What the hell are you doing?" the boy asked with a frown.

Seeing that Zhu Xiongying didn't intend to reveal his identity, Zhou Xi took the lead and said:

"I am Zhou Xi from Yangzhou Weiqianhu."

An older steward came over, pushed the servant away, looked Zhou Xi up and down for a while, then raised his hands and said:

"so what?"

"You are a thousand households, so you can break into people's houses at will?"

Zhou Xi was speechless for a while.

Because, he didn't know why His Royal Highness the eldest grandson wanted to knock on the door of this house.

Zhu Xiongying took a step forward and looked into the courtyard.

Noticing Zhu Xiongying's actions, the steward quickly blocked Zhu Xiongying's eyes, frowned and reprimanded:

"Kids, don't look around!"

"If you have nothing to do, get the hell out of here! You guys are such a nuisance at night, if you do that again, I'll report to the authorities!"

Zhu Xiongying ignored him, pointed to a corner in the courtyard and said:

"Why is there blood there?"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed.

really.

Just on the steps connecting the courtyard to the corridor, there was an inconspicuous blood stain.

With the moonlight, it can be seen clearly.

Zhou Xi regained his energy immediately, picked up the old steward's collar and asked:

"Say!"

"Where is the blood in your backyard?!"

The old steward was eager to gain wisdom, and hurriedly said:

"Today when the pig is slaughtered at home, there will naturally be some blood left..."

Naturally, Zhu Xiongying couldn't be fooled by his lies, so he waved his hand and said:

"Go in and search."

He Li and Li Munian stepped forward immediately after hearing Zhu Xiongying's order.

The old steward and the boy were in a hurry, and hurriedly stopped them:

"Why do you come in and search? Breaking into a private house is a felony!"

He Li was not used to him either, he just kicked the old steward to the ground.

The boy was so frightened that he stayed where he was, and didn't dare to go forward at all.

soon.

Li Munian found a dead body in the firewood room in the courtyard.

And several nursing homes guarding the corpses.

These nursing homes were all knocked down by Li Munian in three or two rounds and thrown into the yard.

Then, Li Munian moved the corpse out.

As soon as Zhou Xi saw the corpse, he hurriedly said to Zhu Xiongying:

"Your Highness, it's him!"

"The person I saw at the gate of the mansion is him..."

"It seems that the Ding family took him away!"

"Your Highness?!"

Hearing Zhou Xi's address to the child at the door, the old butler on the ground and the boy beside him were all dumbfounded.

There are not many people in the entire Ming Dynasty who can be called this way!

None of these people can be provoked by their Ding family!

Zhu Xiongying looked at the boy who was trembling with fright, and asked in a cold tone:

"Why kill?"

The boy immediately trembled with fright, and replied:

"I... I don't know. The steward asked us to do it..."

"Originally, it was just to tie that person back, but who knew that the person couldn't help beating him so much, he lost his breath after only a few hits..."

Zhu Xiongying looked at the old steward who was kicked on the ground by He Li again.

The steward stared at the boy, complaining in his heart that he was talkative.

It could have been said that it was a servant who escaped from his family...

But now.

That talkative boy has said so much, sophistry is useless.

The old steward sighed and chose to remain silent.

Seeing that he was not going to reply, Zhu Xiongying looked at He Li and said:

"He Qianhu, I will leave this person to you."

"When I get up tomorrow, I want to know the ins and outs of this matter."

He Li knew that Zhu Xiongying was asking him to take the old steward away and torture him, so he clasped his fists and said:

"Yes! Your Highness!"

"The humble minister will definitely let him know everything and say everything!"

then.

He Li and Li Munian tied up all the nurses and stewards in the courtyard, and took them away together.

When leaving.

He did not forget to leave a note on the back door of Ding's house, explaining that these people were all taken away by He Li, a thousand households of the upper twelve guards.

As for the body that was beaten to death.

It was carried by Qianhu Zhou Xi and transported back.

……

Day two.

Early in the morning.

Zhu Xiongying was drinking porridge when he heard Li Munian who was guarding the door saluting:

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Outside the door, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice came.

"Okay, excuse me."

then.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked into the room and saw his grandson eating breakfast, and he was also sitting at the table, serving himself a bowl of porridge.

"My dear grandson, I heard that you went to Ding Bin's residence last night?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a flat face, just casual, as if he was asking Zhu Xiongying what he ate this morning.

Zhu Xiongying nodded.

"Grandpa, what's Ding Bin's reaction?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said:

"In the beginning, it was reported to the government office in Hangzhou."

"But you gave the prefect of Hangzhou ten courages, and he didn't dare to take care of it... so he reported to us."

Zhu Xiongying put down the bowl and asked:

"So, now Ding Bin knows who tied up the steward of his house?"

"Understood," Lao Zhu said with a smile, "he knelt at the gate of the mansion to plead guilty to us... saying that he was lax in disciplining his servants, that he offended the eldest grandson of the emperor, and begged for punishment."

"He'd probably pick himself out."

Zhu Xiongying continued to ask:

"Did you punish him, grandpa?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said:

"Of course, if you mess with our grandson, can we let him go?"

"But..."

"After all, he is Li Shanchang's nephew, so we have to give Li Shanchang some face."

"Let the people below beat him [-] times, and let him go back temporarily."

Hearing these words, Zhu Xiongying almost laughed out loud.

Hit twenty big boards, and call Li Shanchang face?

If this is a little heavier...
