Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 970 Fighting poison with poison

  Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan happily: "Be strong!"

   This sentence has always been Fang Jifan's mantra to others.

  But...from Zhu Houzhao's mouth, it made Fang Jifan feel weird.

   No matter.

  Fang Jifan thought to himself, I am for the country and the people, am I still afraid of death? Go back and find a thousand or hundreds of strong men, and I will protect them.

  This purpose is actually very important to Zhu Houzhao.

  He must show his strength in front of his father.

  But he doesn't know how to investigate cases.

  And...Father Huang said that within half a year, but after waiting for half a year, the day lily will be cold.

   How to check it, how to check it?

  He looked at Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jifan whistled, actually feeling good.

  A look of hitting me, no, begging me.

  Zhu Houzhao just looked at Fang Jifan, and he knew that Fang Jifan was starting to sneer again. He must have an idea, but...he refused to say, such a person is very annoying, and he must be asked by others.

   Not only that, Zhu Houzhao is simply a roundworm in Fang Jifan's stomach.

  Once he asks him how to deal with it, he will hold his head and say ah, it hurts.

   If he turned against him, he must have a resentful look, and began to count Zhu Houzhao's sisters, Zhu Houzhao's so-and-so...

  Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth: "I think your Fang Xiaofan is pretty good."

   "Your Highness, do you think this is what someone said?" Fang Jifan wailed.

   Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, what I mean is that Fang Xiaofan is good, and I happen to have a son."

Fang Jifan breathed a sigh of relief, but his face collapsed again, shaking his head like a rattle: "No, no, Xiaofan is good, but what does this have to do with that child Zaimo, I will pay a dowry in the future , Zaimo is your son, Xiaofan is my sister, I calculated carefully, I am a generation shorter for no reason, and the marriage of children and siblings is not a trifle."

  Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes: "Your son Zhengqing is also good."

  Fang Jifan was stunned: "What do you mean? Your Highness, please don't try to get married. Are they cousins?"

   "It's a different surname." Zhu Houzhao said coldly.

  In this era, cousins ​​are really the main objects of marriage. The ancients advocated that the same surname should not be married, so...

   "My eldest daughter..." Zhu Houzhao said cheerfully: "You are only seven years old, you have seen her appearance before, I am the master, in the future..."

Fang Jifan thought to himself, marrying a cousin is not a human thing, but this guy Zhengqing doesn't look like a promising guy at all. Hey, it's really not as good as the next generation. Think about how decent and responsible his father is. Looking at such a loser, especially the way he licked his face in front of Zhu Zaimo, Fang Jifan wanted to beat him to death.

   After a sigh.

Marrying a cousin is also very good. Xiaozhu's family has good genes, and my genes are also good. Maybe we can form a strong alliance. The most important thing is that Zhengqing, that scumbag, can only support others in his life. The family's rice bowl, messing with food and waiting to die.

  Decided, go home and have more children, or else I have to choose a girl from Xiao Zhu's house.

Of course, Fang Jifan ignored Zhu Houzhao's unreliable promises. Even if Zhu Houzhao did not break his word, as long as His Majesty is still alive, who would dare to make the marriage of his grandchildren without his permission? It will definitely break the turtle's dog legs.

  Fang Jifan sighed: "Your Highness, let's study the case first. Has Your Highness heard of...fighting poison with fire?"

"What?"

"that is…"

  …………

  An imperial decree to investigate the arsenal's corruption case immediately caused an uproar in the world.

  The disgusting thing about this matter is that there are too many people who are greedy for ink, and they eat up all of them. This is not 10%, 20%, or 30%, but 90%.

  His Majesty asked His Highness the Crown Prince to conduct a thorough investigation.

His Royal Highness, according to his behavior in the past, apart from using soldiers, he hangs out with a group of craftsmen all day long. I heard that the textile workers have designated this Highness the Prince as the Patriarch. Do you think this is the Prince? It doesn’t look like a prince. .

  But such a seemingly unreliable person actually thoroughly investigated the case himself.

   This made many people guess that the palace was thinking.

  Your Majesty does not use the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Metropolitan Procuratorate and Factory Guard, but chooses the prince... Either it is to test the prince, or... the deep meaning behind it is really disturbing.

   But soon, everything returned to calm.

  As if nothing happened.

  At noon the next day, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan went to the East Palace.

   This time, Fang Jifan came prepared, bringing many gifts, and waited for Zhu Houzhao to roar: "Girls... come out to see your uncle."

  Fang Jifan was already smiling and readying red envelopes one by one, pinching this little face, this girl is good, Shui Ling. That's not bad either, he's a person who knows how to live. Hey, this is amazing, it’s so fruitful.

  But... It seems that looking at other people's daughters-in-law and thinking about it, I always feel something is wrong.

  The girls tugged on Fang Jifan's long sleeves, and kept shouting affectionately.

  In the evening, all the little faces were in Fang Jifan's mind, like a revolving lantern. He suddenly felt that he had difficulty in choosing, and for a long time, he couldn't pick the one he liked.

   Fallen.

  At the beginning, I immediately fell in love with the cute and well-behaved princess, who has an ordinary appearance but has an interesting soul. Why did I become indecisive when it comes to choosing a daughter-in-law?

A sigh.

  Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao's carriage left the city. At this time, the sky was getting dark.

  In the distance, there are faint lights.

  Fang Jifan continued to sit in the carriage.

  He was not showing his face, and there was something flickering in his eyes.

  The moon is dark and the wind is high to kill the night!

   Suddenly, he shouted: "There are assassins."

  Fang Jifan's eyes seemed to be shining brightly in the carriage.

  The guards around shouted one after another: "Protect Your Highness, protect Your Highness..."

   "..." Fang Jifan was speechless, can you add a sentence after His Highness, Your Highness and Fang Duwei, are you doing this humanly? Our Fang Jifan also needs protection.

  Among the darkness, metal and iron resonate.

   Outside the carriage, it seems that a scuffle has begun.

   "Ah..." Someone let out a miserable cry.

In the distance, Zhu Houzhao's wild laughter came: "Hahahaha... Unexpectedly, there will be a day when I will be assassinated. I thought that I would never meet an assassin in my life. It's just in time, it's good to come, come on, come on!" Bring me the sword of the palace!"

  Fang Jifan's voice... roared under the night sky: "Your Highness, don't get excited! If you have anything to say, speak it well and save yourself!"

  ………

  Xincheng...

  A mansion.

  The owner of the mansion obviously hasn't paid off the mortgage yet.

  Thus, the mansion occupies a large area, but the interior decoration looks simple.

   Carriages approached slowly.

  People don't go through the front door, they enter through the back door.

   Immediately, he entered a dark small hall.

  Everyone took their seats. The owner here seemed unwilling to make the small hall too bright.

   He frowned.

   took a sip of tea.

  Others, after taking their seats, seemed to have their own concerns.

  Everyone was silent, only the clink of porcelain when the teacup was opened, and coughing one after another.

   "This..." Keke... In the darkness, someone said slowly, "My lords, what do you think?"

   Many sighed.

   Someone said: "This time, the scariest thing is not the case, but... His Majesty handed over the case to His Highness the Crown Prince. Isn't that obvious enough? Your Majesty only trusts His Highness the Crown Prince now, this... is the most terrifying thing."

  Many people nodded secretly.

  They are not afraid that His Majesty will hand over the case to any yamen, and they are not even worried that His Majesty will make a joint trial of the three divisions.

  They were even less worried that His Royal Highness's reckless temperament would find out something in a short period of time, but after a long time, they might have thought of a way to destroy all the evidence.

  The only thing they are worried about is His Majesty's attitude, Your Majesty... Obviously he is not willing to indulge this time.

Today His Majesty is magnanimous, he is a magnanimous person, but a person is magnanimous to others, there are good and bad, for countless subjects, His Majesty's kindness is indeed a peace of mind, but for criminals, a certain To a certain extent, it is also connivance.

  But now...this tolerance, obviously...has come to an end.

   "What do you... think?"

"this…"

   "The official surnamed Liu is the key..."

   "Then find a way to prevent him from opening his mouth."

   "By the way, what about Mabutang?"

"Right now, we must put all our energy on the Mabutang. Tomorrow, Lao Xu, you will impeach the Mabutang in your next memorial, and muddy the water a little more. First, let Your Highness put all your thoughts on it." There is nothing wrong with Ma Butang."

   "My lords, we are grasshoppers in a boat..."

   "Yes, yes, at this time, it is time to help each other."

"His Royal Highness, there is no need to worry... The evidence that should be destroyed will be destroyed. Everyone has to think about what stains are still on your body. The embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant nest, so you have to guard against it. If someone gets out by then Don't panic, Your Majesty is magnanimous. At most, he is dismissed from office. No matter how bad it is, he will be exiled for three thousand miles, but the green hills will be left without worrying about no firewood. This crime, even if it is assassination, The wives, children, and old mothers at home will always have friends to take care of them, and everyone says...isn’t it?”

   "Yes, yes, let's do it this way. In short, if you really want to find out something, you must not spoil the big guy's business. If you suffer some crimes, you don't have to worry about it at home. Everyone will take care of you."

"it is good."

   "This is the worst possible scenario, and as it should be."

  But at this time, the steward of the mansion hurried in: "Master, master..."

  Everyone was taken aback. At this juncture, it is easy to scare people to death.

  The steward has already strode forward, reaching the ear of the owner of the mansion, just about to say something, but many eyes are looking at the steward, and many people feel uneasy.

   "Don't bite your ears. Here, we are all friends who are in the same boat. Let's just talk about it."

   "Yes." The manager had no choice but to say with a miserable face: "His Royal Highness, you have been assassinated."

   Bang Dang...

  The person holding the teacup suddenly fell down, and the panicked faces turned pale as paper in an instant.
