Family ancestor Zhu Chongba: What happened to getting your daughter pregnant?

Ministry of Punishment.

"My son has committed a serious crime. The Marquis is acting like this without anyone noticing. Not only will he not be able to help him, I'm afraid he will also cause trouble for himself."

Kang Haoming stood upright in front of Geng Bingwen and spoke word by word, his face surprisingly calm.

"There must be some misunderstanding about this matter! Xuan'er can't kill someone for no reason!"

Geng Bingwen shook his head and said with a livid face.

"There is no misunderstanding. There are both witnesses and physical evidence. My son Geng Xuan got into an argument with someone after he was drunk, and committed the murder directly in public. Moreover, the person he killed was not a treacherous person, but an ordinary person!"

"Furthermore, even if there is really any misunderstanding, since the Ministry of Punishment has accepted the case, it should be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for trial. Not only can the Marquis not interfere, but he should also avoid suspicion!"

"If you really trust me."

Kang Haoming looked at Geng Bingwen calmly and said slowly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"it is good!"

"But I'm warning you, if there's anything unclear or unclear about the case, I will never stand idly by!"

Geng Bingwen frowned and had no choice but to nod his head helplessly, dropped a word coldly, and turned around to leave with a look of reluctance.

After something like this happened, his heart was already in chaos.

He only has one son left. If something happens again, he may not be able to see his ancestors again after his death.

"Master, what should I do? Will the young master be fine?"

On the carriage, the butler Liu Hai turned his head worriedly and glanced at the carriage behind him while driving the carriage, and asked nervously.

"No, I want to go to the palace to face the saint. If what is true is true, Xuan'er will have caused a big disaster!"

"Send someone to Fushouju immediately to investigate and find out what happened at that time!"

In the carriage, Geng Bingwen hesitated for a long time and then said solemnly.

Liu Hai hurriedly agreed, and after sending Geng Bingwen to the gate of the palace, he immediately rushed back to the Changxing Marquis Mansion, and personally took people to Fushou Residence to find out the ins and outs of the matter.

...

Minghe Hall.

"Your Majesty expected it well. Marquis Changxing is here and is requesting an audience with Your Majesty outside the palace."

Wang Defa walked slowly into the hall, bowed respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang, and said softly.

After hearing Wang Defa's report, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but frown, and a trace of sadness appeared on his already solemn face.

"Do you want me to find a reason to send him away?"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's troubled face, Wang Defa asked tentatively.

"No need."

"With his temperament, even if he is sent away now, he will come again."

"Let him in."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and waved his hands helplessly.

Wang Defa agreed, exited slowly, and soon walked into the hall with Geng Bingwen, who was struggling.

"Old minister, see your Majesty!"

Geng Bingwen came closer, knelt on the ground and made a big salute.

Since he removed his armor and returned home, he has not entered the palace to meet the saint for a long time.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Why do you think of going to the palace to see me today?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Geng Bingwen knowingly, and his tone was quite calm.

"Your Majesty, the reason why I came here today is to ask Your Majesty to make the decision for me, to let the Ministry of Punishment enforce the law impartially, and not to wrongly accuse my son."

Geng Bingwen cupped his hands and said with a grimace.

"Oh? Your son was arrested by the Criminal Department? Why?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and asked pretending to be confused.

"Kill...kill..."

Geng Bingwen was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly answered slowly, in a very low voice.

"what?"

"Louder, I didn't hear you."

Zhu Yuanzhang tilted his ears and said in confusion.

"...kill."

"But there must be a reason for this. Quanzi has always been responsible and will never kill someone without reason!"

"Your Majesty, please tell me clearly!"

Geng Bingwen answered with a grimace, and then explained anxiously.

"Huh, you said it, he committed murder! Even if there is a reason, how can he kill people at will?! Is there any law under the emperor's feet?!"

"Is this the good son you taught me?!"

"If I just let him go, if word gets out, how will you let the deceased rest in peace?! How will the people of the world view me?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Geng Bingwen dissatisfied and said with a disappointed look on his face.

"His Majesty..."

"Even though Quanzi has made countless mistakes, I still hope you will be lenient and spare his life..."

Geng Bingwen lay on the ground and begged.

He didn't want to experience the pain of losing a son for a third time.

"Let's wait until the case is cleared up. I will make a decision by then. But if he takes the initiative to provoke trouble, he can only be punished severely, otherwise it will not be enough for the people to complain!"

"Let's go back!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and said a little irritably.

"His Majesty..."

"I beg you, for the sake of my veteran minister's many years of loyalty and dedication, please be open-minded..."

When Geng Bingwen heard Zhu Yuanzhang issued the order to expel guests, he raised his head anxiously and begged, almost bursting into tears.

"enough!"

"If I hadn't considered our friendship over the years, I could have punished you just for causing trouble in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment!"

"You are also an old man in the court, how could you be so confused?! How dare you rush directly to the Ministry of Justice to ask for someone?!"

As soon as Geng Bingwen finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately darkened his face, pointed at Geng Bingwen with one finger, and asked sternly.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Geng Bingwen froze on the spot. Unexpectedly, the news that he had trespassed into the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice had already reached His Majesty's ears. For a moment, he was ashamed and lowered his head in shame.

The incident happened suddenly, and he was confused for a moment, like a headless fly, and then he lost his rules.

After Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded him, Geng Bingwen exited the hall and left the palace with a decadent face, as if he had lost his soul.

"Inform Kang Haoming that this case does not need to be too harsh. If the major issue can be minimized, Geng Xuan will be spared."

After Geng Bingwen left, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and warned Wang Defa beside him.

Wang Defa agreed and immediately sent someone to the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice to deliver the message.

...

Wandering Palace.

It was almost evening, and Zhu Yunxi, Liuli and Zining were sitting in the backyard side hall enjoying dinner.

As Hongwu Bookstore and Mixue Bingge have more and more branches in various places recently, Zhu Yunxi naturally earns more and more money. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as making a lot of money every day.

As Zhu Yunxi's money bag, Zi Ning is the happiest one, with a smile on his face and eyes shining all day long.

In contrast, Liuli was still as cautious as before, but fortunately, she now believed what Zi Ning told her, confirming that His Highness was really not a bad guy who was motivated by sexual desire.

It has been nearly a month since entering the Ligong Palace. His Highness barely touched her, and almost ignored her on weekdays.

But the more this happened, the more disappointed she became, and she began to envy Zi Ning and Hong Yuan who had been following His Highness all day long.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Is the food still not to your liking?"

While Liuli was deep in thought, Zhu Yunxi on the side suddenly asked.

"what?"

"No..."

Liuli suddenly came back to her senses, hurriedly shook her head to explain, lowered her head shyly, and dispelled all the messy thoughts in her mind.

Zhu Yunxi curled his lips and smiled without saying anything else. He liked Liuli's shy look that turned red at every turn, although he knew very well that everything he saw was probably an illusion.

At this moment, footsteps were heard, and Hong Yuan walked in quickly from outside.

"Sister Hong, are you finally back?"

"Hurry up and eat!"

Seeing Hong Yuan's return, Zi Ning stood up happily, placed the dishes and chopsticks that had been prepared on Hong Yuan's seat, and greeted her with a smile.

Hongyuan ignored Zi Ning's enthusiasm and winked at Zhu Yunxi.

"I'm done eating, you guys eat slowly."

Zhu Yunxi understood immediately, threw down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, stood up and walked straight out.

Hongyuan didn't speak and followed out silently.

Seeing the two people leaving quietly, Liuli frowned, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

But Zi Ning didn't react at all and continued to eat. She seemed to be accustomed to Hong Yuan's indifference.

outside the hall.

In the pavilion.

"How about it?"

Zhu Yunxi leaned on the railing, holding a glass of wine he had just poured, and asked lightly.

"I just received news that Geng Bingwen's son has been imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and he was arrested by Li Jinglong himself!"

"After Geng Bingwen found out, he broke into the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice, but in the end he never saw his son. He finally entered the palace. He left not long ago and returned disappointed."

Hong Yuan bowed her hands and said respectfully.

"It's time to carry out the next step of the plan. Since the water in Kyoto is already muddy, it's better to stir it up even more."

"It's interesting to have me in you, and you in me."

Zhu Yunxi pursed his lips and smiled, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, then said something meaningful...
