From beggar to emperor: I am not Zhu Yuanzhang

Luzhou City was deserted once again.

When they heard that Cai Chou had been arrested, people from all over the city came to the streets. Don't get me wrong, Cai Chou was not being served on the ten-mile long street, but with rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs.

This Cai Chou caused great harm to the people of Luzhou. He surrendered to the city many times. The first time was to Sun Ru, and this time to Zhu Wen. Each time he surrendered, he had to cooperate with the occupying forces and send out migrant workers. They also provided food and grass, and even forced the people of Luzhou to cook for the occupying troops.

Completely Luzhou maintains the style of the president.

Now, with Cai Chou being arrested, he can no longer play and will not have a third chance to surrender.

The prison car escorting Cai Chou slowly rolled over the stone road of Luzhou Old Street. The unkempt Cai Chou had already put on a white prison uniform. He was seen huddled in the small prison car, his head lowered and silent, his long face His long hair hid his face, and people couldn't see his expression clearly.

No one knows his inner thoughts at this moment.

The team escorting the prisoners crossed the old street and headed to the Governor's Mansion, which had been transformed into Yang Xingmi's temporary headquarters, where he was waiting for Cai Chou's arrival.

The other prisoners were escorted to prison, while Cai Chou was sent to the Governor's Mansion, where Yang Xingmi wanted to interrogate him personally.

All the generals gathered in the governor's mansion, and people were waiting for Cai Chou's arrival. Yang Xingmi sat at the top, saying nothing, staring at the door outside in a daze.

The door was pushed open, and a group of warriors escorted Cai Chou, who was tied up with five flowers, into the door and straight into the lobby.

As soon as Cai Chou saw Yang Xingmi, his legs went weak and he knelt down with a thud. His voice trembled: "Brother, Cai Chou is guilty."

Yang Xingmi signaled for him to be untied, then stood up and walked to Cai Chou, sighing: "Cai Chou, Cai Chou, how could you get to this point! At the beginning, there were 13 of us brothers who became sworn brothers. Everyone said that brothers who work together are invincible. I regard you as my brother, but you do such evil things again and again. I forgave you last time and gave you a chance, but what did you do?"

Cai Chou burst into tears and said, "Brother, Cai Chou is confused and has betrayed brother's trust."

Yang Xingmi's face sank and he asked: "You betrayed me. That is the grudge between you and me, but why do you want to vent your anger on my ancestral grave? Is this something humans do? Digging graves has been a heinous crime since ancient times. Matter, you have come this far, even if I want to forgive you, my brothers will not agree."

Tai Meng, the eighth eldest among the thirteen brothers, suddenly stood up and rebuked loudly: "Cai Chou has a human face and a beast's heart. She is worse than an animal. She did such a heinous thing. It is really a crime that cannot be punished. I kindly ask the elder brother to kill Cai Chou's entire family." , execute the three clans to frighten the rebellious officials and traitors!"

Li Yu, who ranked No. 11, interjected: "Brother, this kid is too vicious. You must retaliate with tooth. I will lead the troops to dig up his ancestral graves and crush the bones of his ancestors to ashes to vent my anger on brother!"

After hearing these words, Cai Chou was so frightened that his face turned pale and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Li Yu had a bad temper, so he stood up and walked out without waiting for Yang Xingmi's reply. It seemed that this boy was serious.

When Yang Xingmi saw that Li Yu was really going to dig ancestral graves, he became anxious and quickly stopped Li Yu:

"Li Yu, come back here and don't make any mistakes!"

Yang Xingmi turned around and said to everyone in the lobby: "Cai Chou has lost his conscience and done such evil things. I am angrier than you. I want revenge more than any of you, but I can't do that. Cai Chou poached me. He is a demon and he is a beast, but if I dig his ancestral grave in retaliation, what is the difference between him and me? Wouldn’t I also become a demon and a beast? How will the people of the world view it? Me, Yang Xingmi?"

"I can't do this." He emphasized at the end.

It seems that Cai Chou's ancestral tomb has been saved, but his sins are so serious that he will inevitably die this time.

At the strong request of his brothers, Yang Xingmi adopted the harshest punishment for the first time. He executed all Cai's family members. Family members under the age of 15 were exempted from death, and everyone over the age of 15 was executed. This was to deter those with evil intentions.

Cai Chou was dragged out wailing. This professional surrender finally left to collect his lunch box. He was also the first among the thirteen brothers to be killed, and was killed by Yang Xingmi himself. Many people were relieved when they heard the news, but one person was frightened and terrified all day long.

This person is Tian Kai who is far away in Xuanzhou. He has insomnia.

Cai Mansion in Luzhou.

The door was suddenly knocked open, and a large group of soldiers rushed in, followed by Tai Meng and Li Yu. The two men were ordered to search Cai's mansion and arrest his family.

Tai Meng had a loud voice. He stood on the front door steps and shouted:

"Brothers, listen up. Big brother has an order to search Cai's Mansion. All the people in the house must be taken into custody. All items must be packed and sealed. Search them for me inch by inch. There must be no omissions. Not a single piece of paper can be missed. Big Brother wants See it for yourself.”

Groups of soldiers broke into pieces and rushed towards various courtyards, and the quiet mansion suddenly erupted with cries one after another.

A group of men, women, old and children were led out with their hands tied behind their backs and passed by Tai Meng and Li Yu. Li Yu looked at these people and found several swaddling babies. He sighed: "This Cai Chou insisted on seeking his own death and played himself to death. He brought this outcome on himself."

Taimeng said: "Last time when Sun Ru conquered Luzhou and Cai Chou surrendered, I suggested to my eldest brother to get rid of him. But my eldest brother is benevolent and has to give him a chance. I don't know whether it is true benevolence or righteousness, or whether I am taking a long-term approach to fishing for the big fish."

"What do you mean?" Li Yu heard something in Tai Meng's words.

Taimeng said mysteriously: "The errand given by the eldest brother in private ordered us to search Cai's house carefully and not let go of any scrap of paper. The eldest brother suspected that Cai Chou had an accomplice. This is to follow the lead and use Cai Chou's incident to dig out The people behind him.”

Li Yu was so smart that he immediately understood: "I understand."

With a special mission in hand, the two of them went straight to Cai Chou's study, hoping to gain something there.

When they rushed to the study, several soldiers were already searching there. They rummaged through the cabinets and cabinets carefully looking for suspicious items.

Tai Meng ordered: "Focus on the search for letters. If there is any writing, send it to me. I will read it myself."

The two of them sat in the study and sifted through the documents and files sent by the soldiers. They looked at Cai Chou's account books for an hour, which recorded Cai Chou's income in Luzhou in detail, including many bribes given and accepted. records.

But this is obviously not what Yang Xingmi needs. Cai Chou is already a mortal person, and these economic crimes are no longer relevant. He will not be able to escape death with or without these account books. The problem now is that Yang Xingmi needs to open a breakthrough from him, dig out the accomplices behind him, and destroy their alliance. This is the real intention of searching the Cai Mansion.

After looking at the account books for another hour, Tai Meng was tired of looking at them. He pushed the account books, stretched and said to Li Yu: "Is there any mistake? There are so many account books. This kid Cai Chou is in Luzhou." How much money have you made over the years?”

Li Yu smiled and said, "No matter how much he makes, in the end it's still the eldest brother's money. Can he take it away?"

Suddenly, his eyes stopped on the ledger, as if he noticed the situation.

He called Tai Meng over: "Brother, look quickly, there's something going on."

Tai Meng came over to take a look, and his eyes lit up: "Finally I found what big brother wanted."
