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

Chapter 98 The secret file that changes the situation

Minghe Hall.

"Wang Defa, Xuantong Wenjie has an audience!"

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated, looked at Zhu Yunxi's confident look, paused, and said slowly.

Wang Defa heard this and hurriedly walked out the door.

"Also, Mr. Cao Guo, please listen carefully to what I have to say for a while. If you still feel that I am guilty by then, no matter what Grandpa Huang asks you to do, I will never stop you again."

Zhu Yunxi turned to look at Li Jinglong who was standing at the door, in a dilemma, and said lightly.

"Your Highness is serious. I have never thought that you are guilty, and I don't dare to make decisions for Your Majesty without permission. I am just carrying out errands according to the order."

Li Jinglong hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said with a respectful expression.

"Then why is Cao Guogong so urgent? As far as I know, the head of the Jiaofang Department was originally the official who went to Jinwu Guardian, but why did you arrive first with the Cavalry Guard? Where did you get the news?"

"Also, why did you go directly to the palace to report to the Emperor's grandfather without even checking after you took away the corpses? Have you investigated the case clearly? Are there other things involved behind this? Are you clear?"

"Or did someone instruct you to do this?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Li Jinglong expressionlessly and asked questions like a barrage of fire.

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's words, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon couch, couldn't help but froze for a moment and looked at Li Jinglong with burning eyes.

"this..."

"Your Highness is aware that I am just doing my job impartially, without any selfish motives, and I am definitely not being instigated by others!"

"Although I'm a little anxious, everything is related to His Highness, so I hope to inform His Majesty as soon as possible. I definitely don't want to embarrass His Highness."

"There may be some omissions, but the minister entered the palace only after he had obtained the confession from Cao Yan, the head of the Jiaofang Department. He was definitely not fabricating it randomly or deliberately setting up a trap."

"Your Majesty, please be careful. Please be careful, Your Majesty!"

Li Jinglong was shocked, hurriedly bowed respectfully, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunxi respectively.

"Does it mean that Mr. Cao Guogong always just listens to other people's words and decides the case at will?"

Zhu Yunxi sneered and asked disdainfully.

"That's absolutely not the case!"

"His Majesty..."

"enough!"

Li Jinglong looked pale and wanted to explain, but was interrupted sharply by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Since Yunxi has other things to report, let's wait until he finishes speaking!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Li Jinglong coldly and said in a deep voice, with a trace of dissatisfaction between his eyebrows and a trace of suspicion in his eyes, as if he had thought of something.

Li Jinglong nodded, not daring to say more, so he had to shut his mouth and stand aside respectfully.

At this moment, Tong Wenjie, the Minister of Household Affairs, also followed Wang Defa into the hall quickly.

When Zhu Yunxi saw Tong Wenjie coming to his side, he smiled politely and said hello.

But Tong Wenjie didn't buy it. He glared at Zhu Yunxi and snorted coldly, his eyebrows filled with disdain.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet that day, he was the first person to stand up and oppose Zhu Yuanzhang's appointment of Zhu Yunxi as his grandson!

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Then, Tong Wenjie bowed respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang and said.

"Are you also here to ask me to punish Yunxi severely?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked calmly and expressionlessly.

After listening to what Zhu Yunxi had just said to Li Jinglong, the disappointment and dissatisfaction in his heart had gradually subsided, and he felt that there did seem to be something strange between these things.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have long said that the conduct of the grandson of the Third Emperor is not suitable for the position of grandson. If you want to become a prince, you must first have good conduct and be considerate of the people. How can you carelessly take human lives?!"

"Even killing an ordinary citizen is a big mistake, not to mention that the person he killed today was actually the son of an important minister in the court?!"

"How can you be established as the crown prince if you have such an incompetent mind?! I hope Your Majesty will think twice! What happened today must not be taken lightly!"

Tong Wenjie bowed his hands and said righteously.

After listening to Tong Wenjie's words, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned again. For a moment, he could not refute, so he had to turn his attention to Zhu Yunxi, hoping that he could really prove his innocence.

"I dare to ask Tong Shangshu, what if the person I killed deserved it?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled reassuringly at Zhu Yuanzhang, then turned to look at Tong Wenjie and asked slowly.

"If the crime is deserved, then that is a different matter, but even so, the matter should be handled by the Sansi Yamen, and should not be convicted privately by His Highness!"

"Furthermore, I have some doubts. I wonder what crime Cai Shangshu's son has committed? Can His Highness kill him directly in broad daylight?"

Tong Wenjie held his head high and asked righteously.

"My grandson found something and asked Grandpa Huang to take a look at it."

Zhu Yunxi curled his lips and sneered, ignored Tong Wenjie, turned around to face Zhu Yuanzhang, bowed his hands, reached out from his arms and took out the secret file given to him by Red Kite, and handed it over.

Upon seeing this, Wang Defa hurriedly stepped forward, respectfully took the secret document, and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Seeing the secret file that Zhu Yunxi suddenly took out, Tong Wenjie and Li Jinglong on the side changed their expressions at the same time, looking suspicious.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Yunxi hesitantly and slowly opened the secret file.

To be honest, he didn't know what kind of medicine his grandson was selling in the gourd.

But then, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly frowned, the expression on his face became more and more complex, and his anger continued to increase.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, the confusion on Tong Wenjie and Li Jinglong's faces became more obvious, and they turned to look at Zhu Yunxi who was calm and composed in confusion.

"You two should also be very curious about what is written in that secret file, right?"

Zhu Yunxi glanced at the two of them, smiled and asked.

"Your Majesty, what did you see?"

Tong Wenjie ignored Zhu Yunxi, bowed his hands to Zhu Yuanzhang, and asked tentatively.

"Are these true?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also raised his head at this time, looked at Zhu Yunxi solemnly, and asked in a deep voice.

"What Grandpa Hui Huang said is absolutely true."

"If Grandpa Huang doesn't believe it, you can order Jin Yiwei to go and verify it immediately."

Zhu Yunxi bowed his hands and said with certainty.

"That's unreasonable!"

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table hard and threw the secret file in his hand to the ground, his face full of anger.

Seeing this scene, the confusion on the faces of Tong Wenjie and Li Jinglong became more and more obvious. No one knew what happened.

"Grandpa Emperor, please calm down. It's not worth injuring the dragon's body for a despicable and shameless person."

Zhu Yunxi quickly comforted him softly.

Tong Wenjie looked hesitant and wanted to pick up the secret file on the ground and check it, but he didn't dare.

"Tong Shangshu, Cao Guogong, do you know what kind of evil things Cai Yuanpei's son has done in his daily life?!"

Zhu Yunxi saw Tong Wenjie's actions, glanced at the two of them again, and asked slowly.

The two hesitated, and no one dared to talk easily, because judging from Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction, there must be something very important recorded in the secret file.

"Forget it, since you are all curious about what is written on it, I might as well tell you."

"In the past three years, Cai Pingjin has repeatedly raped women and occupied people's houses, showing no mercy!"

"Relying on his father's high position and power, he often took advantage of the situation in his hometown in Ning County. To bring trouble to the village, he once killed a whole family of people for his own selfish desires!"

"He even built a Wangchun Tower in Ning County, where he kept hundreds of girls from good families! They were all kidnapped by him secretly! They were kept in captivity just for their own pleasure!"

"Should such a person be killed?!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at the two of them coldly, his face gradually darkened, and he asked sharply.

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's words, Tong Wenjie and Li Jinglong instantly showed surprise and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in disbelief.

However, at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was already ashen, and his brows were filled with murderous intent.

"But there is one thing I don't understand. Why is there so much evidence of crime that no one in the court knows about?! Who is hiding it from the court and from Grandpa Huang?!"

"You two are so eager to fight for him today. It's hard not to make me doubt what kind of relationship you two have with him?!"

"There are also those who gathered outside and hoped that the emperor would severely punish the officials of this palace. Are they really trying to uphold justice, or are they being instigated by others?!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at the two of them coldly and asked categorically.

"Your Majesty, what His Highness the Grand Sun said is true?"

Tong Wenjie looked ugly, bowed his hands to Zhu Yuanzhang, and asked with trembling lips.
