"Our Highness is not as simple as it appears on the surface. His Highness probably already knows about this case."

He Li agreed with this, if there is no way to handle even one sapphire, then Zhu Xiongying will not come back.

"Your Highness, King Ning and the others have requested to open the coffin for an autopsy. Shall we go and have a look?"

"What's the use of opening the coffin for an autopsy, maybe the other party has already prepared everything."

Zhu Xiongying actually didn't intend to go to observe it, but it was the first time for Daming to experience such a thing, and it could also serve as a wake-up call for future generations.

The reason why I want to clarify this matter thoroughly is to prevent the same situation from happening in future generations.

"Could it be that His Highness is not worried that Sapphire will support himself?"

These people don't understand what Zhu Xiongying is thinking. You must know that almost half of the Ming Dynasty's troops are in the hands of Sapphire.

It can be said that these soldiers have no way to mobilize except for Lan Yu's order.

This is a potential threat to the court, and one day before ascending the throne, one cannot relax for a moment.

"What really needs to be worried about is not Lanyu, but the group of people behind Lanyu." Zhu Xiongying knew what they wanted to say to him.

But Sapphire has never been the crux of the problem, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang believes in himself, it is enough.

"The government oppresses the common people. My son has been dead for more than a month, but now he still has to open the coffin for an autopsy. Isn't this trampling on our Xue family?"

Xue Qiang's father was wailing, and the coffin had already been dug out.

The expressions of the people present were normal, and Kaiji even had a normal expression, showing no emotional fluctuations.

But Yang Shuzheng, the head of the criminal department, was already shaking his legs with fright. After all, they were just collecting money to do things at the beginning, so they never thought that such a day would come.

Several officials in charge of handling the case also had different moods. Those officials who believed that Xue Qiang had escaped the crime wanted to stand aside and watch the show.

As long as there is no one in the coffin, they will win.

Those officials who disagreed with them felt that the matter had already been dealt with, but these guys were persistent.

Looking at the crowd watching on the sidelines, the big guys also held their breath.

After the coffin was opened, there was actually a person lying inside.

"I don't know what else you have to say?" Kai Ji, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, said dissatisfiedly. Although she really accepted the bribe, she would never show it openly.

Soon news came from Jin Yiwei that Xue Qiang had been found by them and was controlled in Suzhou.

This kid was able to run so far overnight, he must have been assisted.

"The right and wrong can be figured out soon, and I don't think you need to be so anxious."

Zhu Xiongying suddenly stood up and said, after Kaiji saw that the person who came was the grandson of the emperor, he didn't dare to say anything more.

When Jin Yiwei escorted him back, Kaiji finally couldn't hold on anymore. No one thought that the emperor's grandson would find Xue Qiang directly.

"You guys are really good at thinking, and you have deceived many people, but unfortunately you have forgotten one thing, there are far more talents in Jinyiwei than you think."

There are many things that the Ministry of Criminal Justice cannot find out, but Jin Yiwei is fully capable of doing so.

After taking all this group of people down, it's time to turn around and deal with Sapphire's matter.

Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately left Sapphire for him to deal with, in order for him to completely subdue Sapphire.

When Lan Yu came to his residence, he found that Zhu Xiongying was changing his plain clothes.

"Uncle and grandpa came just in time, you should put on too." This really couldn't stop for a moment.

It turned out that Zhu Xiongying had just returned from the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so he turned around and changed into plain clothes again.

"Let's go out for a while, just to let Duke Liang know why His Majesty is so angry."

Zhu Xiongying turned around and said, Lan Yu didn't understand what he wanted to do, but she still obeyed the order and followed him out of the palace.

Chapter 323 Punish Sapphire and take away the hidden guard?

This time they went out in casual clothes, and Jin Yiwei only followed from a distance.

When they came to the "Jiuxian Building", Lan Yu suddenly thought something was wrong.

Because this is his own property, but he has never been here in normal times.

Of course, if it's just that, it's not a problem at all.

After all, these nobles in the capital have some properties, but his restaurant is naturally different from others.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw those under the command of Lan Yu who had just returned to the imperial court. Lan Yu was wearing casual clothes this time, and most of them could not recognize him.

"I think Your Majesty is confused. The people at the gate don't have eyesight. If they could open the gate earlier, why should we rush to the gate?"

"That's right, not to mention that we won the battle this time, it's really unpleasant."

"According to me, without us, he can sit in the world as a monk? It's ridiculous."

When listening to these words, Zhu Xiongying didn't show any expression.

What they said next was even more frightening.

"You said, if the Duke of the State goes to Beiyuan, at least he can be a prince, right?"

"What's so good about Beiyuan? It's better to sit in that position for such a vulnerable piece of trash. Why can't our general be able to sit in that position?"

It was obvious that these guys were already drunk, but when these words came out, everyone else shut up.

At this moment, Lan Yu can't wait to tear these two guys into pieces. He is rebellious, but he never thought of rebelling!

At this moment, he has already thought of the Chen Qiao Mutiny. These guys wanted to put a layer of yellow robes on themselves, so what should he do?

By that time, maybe there will be no time for him to react.

He finally understood why Zhu Xiongying brought him here. I'm afraid Jin Yiwei has been watching this place for a long time, so he found this opportunity to come here.

"What are you guys doing here? Are we not right?"

Two drunken generals stood up, trying to grab Zhu Xiongying's collar, but they were kicked by Lan Yu and fell to the ground.

"Will anyone dare to beat us? You are dead!" After the general who was lying on the ground stood up, he saw a familiar face.

"General? Why are you here?" They quickly knelt down.

"I really want to thank you all, Liu Gui, I remember that I didn't offend you, right? Why are you so anxious to send all my nine clans to hell?"

He almost went mad with anger, just relying on the words of these two guys, it was enough to ransack the family and exterminate the family.

"Those who don't know are not guilty, let them go back to the army to receive punishment." Zhu Xiongying said.

Anyway, his goal has been achieved, and he can't punish Sapphire's subordinates in front of him, which already belongs to Yue Zu.

For a general leading a war, it is very prudent to attack their prestige.

"Don't thank you yet? Fortunately, it is His Highness who is here today. If His Majesty comes in person, I'm afraid your lives will be lost."

As Sapphire said, she kicked all these guys out.

Although Zhu Xiongying knew that Lan Yu was acting for himself, he still waited until everyone had gone out before sitting in a seat by the window.

"Uncle, grandpa, I'm not talking about you. You are now the Duke of the country anyway, and you can be called a high-ranking and powerful person. Why do you value money so much?"

Zhu Xiongying was speechless. If the normal direction was followed, the grass on Lanyu's grave would be two meters high.

The things this guy did are really enough to kill him several times, but every time he survived because of his identity.

"I really didn't expect them to do this kind of thing behind my back. You know, I don't have such thoughts at all."

Sapphire was very depressed, he was just rampant, not tired of work.

I am living so comfortably now, why can't I think about courting death?

Going through the pass was just a test. If he really tried to kill him, I'm afraid no one would survive the entire pass that night.

"Your Highness's lesson is that I promise that such a thing will never happen again." Lan Yu said quickly, and now he was really scared.

What the two generals said was also discussed in the army, but it was outside.

As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention of listening, but if Jin Yiwei hears it or is recorded by some supervisory censor, then Lan Yu will not escape.

"Hand over the hidden guard in your hand." Zhu Xiongying said coldly after thinking for a long time.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang handed over the sapphire to himself this time was to prevent the situation from getting worse.

In fact, they have long suspected that there is a group similar to Jinyiwei in Lanyu's hands, and those who come out of the army will do things more neatly.

It took Zhu Xiongying a lot of effort to find some clues from the army, and then followed the clues to find out this organization.

"Your Highness actually knows about Yinwei." Lan Yu finally understood at this moment that Zhu Xiongying was going to cut off his third ear as well.

"It is enough for Daming to have one Jinyiwei, there is no need to have another one."

He shook his head and said, he knew that many people had such an organization in their hands, but he would find out all of them, not letting any one go.

Originally, Jin Yiwei appeared to monitor officials, not to fight intelligence warfare.

"This is the token of the hidden guard. As long as His Highness holds it, all the hidden guards will be able to obey."

Sapphire did not refuse, but directly handed over the control token.

In his eyes, he is an out-and-out descendant of the emperor's grandson.

Zhu Xiongying's enthronement is almost a certainty, as long as Zhu Xiongying can become the emperor, then for them, it is a success.

So no matter what Zhu Xiongying wants, he can hand it over.

"I will never forget what my uncle and grandpa did. In the future, I will need my uncle to do a lot of things."

After getting the token, Zhu Xiongying didn't put it away, but directly threw it to Li Munian who was standing aside.

"As long as there is His Highness's words, it is enough. I will definitely go to the front for His Highness, and death is not a pity!"

After hearing this sentence, Lan Yu knew that this was Zhu Xiongying's promise to herself. Isn't he working so hard just for today?

"Clean up those nephews who haven't been cleaned up, and don't continue what uncle and grandpa have done. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

Of course he knew that Sapphire was selling private salt. In any dynasty, salt and iron were controlled by the court, and anyone who sold it was a felony!

Chapter 324 Loyalty drops

"Then I will give you a result of the treatment. For the time being, I will cut my job for the people first, but this is all temporary, do you understand?"

The result of Zhu Xiongying's handling is also after careful consideration. After all, this time Sapphire's charge was made by Zhu Di's subordinates.

If I don't give an explanation, I'm afraid my uncle's loyalty will be lost on the spot.

"Your Highness will follow your lead!" Sapphire said without any objection.

Sure enough, when he told Zhu Di the result, Zhu Di was very dissatisfied.

[Warning, Zhu Di's loyalty is declining, currently at 85! 】

At this time, the system gave a prompt, but it was also a helpless move.

After all, Sapphire's loyalty has already reached 95, which is actually a good deal.

"Fourth Uncle, there's nothing we can do about it. Since everything has already happened, we can only find ways to minimize the loss. What do you think?"

In fact, Zhu Xiongying does not have to give this explanation at all. In any case, this incident is just an accident.

The imperial court can completely pretend that this incident did not happen, but Zhu Xiongying does not want to do this, after all, it will appear that he is bullying others.

"Grand Duke Liang said that he will pay for all the losses this time. In any case, this is the best result."

Only when he heard this did Zhu Di slow down.

If he had been at the pass back then, he would have ordered the sergeants to fight Lan Yu, but it was a pity that he was in the capital to oversee the country that day.

After seeing that the matter was finally over, he was completely relieved.

There is only one person Lan Yu really and completely admires, and that is his prince father Zhu Biao, as for the others, he doesn't pay attention at all.

At that time, Zhu Di was shining brightly, even Zhu Yuanzhang said that Zhu Di was the son most like him.

Since then, Zhu Di has been fighting secretly, thinking that his eldest brother is just born earlier, otherwise how could it be his turn to be the prince?

Some of his actions also attracted Lan Yu's attention, and Lan Yu told the prince directly, saying that Zhu Di was likely to rebel, and asked Zhu Biao to pay attention.

But Zhu Biao didn't seem to hear it, and it was precisely because of this that Zhu Di finally fully recognized his elder brother.

But I didn't expect that the crown prince Zhu Xiongying became the established prince in the end. This is really an impermanent world.
