Luo Wenzhong was very annoyed, because the case was no longer as simple as the revelation of the Dengwen Drum. Some people had begun to fish in troubled waters, and some people in the world began to act chivalrously under the cover of the Dengwen Drum.

At the same time, some people also took the opportunity to attack political opponents.

For example, last night, the censor of the city patrol, Chen Tao, died. An autopsy revealed that he was first drugged to unconsciousness, and then strangled to death with a rope. After his death, he pretended to have hanged himself.

If the Denwen Drum really appears, the jump will not be so big. After all, the ninth-grade officials have not started to die yet...

The censor who patrols the city is the seventh rank, and he exercises the power of supervision.

There are a total of 110 people in the 13 supervisory censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. All of them patrol local areas on behalf of the imperial court. They can control everything and can directly submit letters to the emperor.

Of course, there is no emperor in Nanjing, and the supervisory censor is directly responsible to the Senate.

Although Nanjing and the Capital are two different teams, the official rules are similar, and officials must be supervised and inspected every year. After all, if they are all bad, they won't even be able to collect taxes, so how can the big guys make money.

Therefore, the death of Chen Tao, the censor of the city patrol, was very eye-catching.

Luo Wenzhong even sensed something was wrong, because this was probably an attack by Cui Wen, and Chen Tao's bottom was definitely not clean...

"Prefect Luo, the Dengwen drum is ringing again!"

"When are you going to thoroughly investigate the grievances of Yingtian Mansion?"

Xu Pengju's loud voice rang out from outside the door, and Luo Wenzhong's face suddenly darkened. But there was still such a group of people adding fuel to the flames. How could these cases be settled?

Luo Wenzhong spoke to his master and wanted to leave through the back door, avoiding Xu Pengju.

But Xu Pengju jumped in with one step, grabbed Luo Wenzhong's sleeve like he was chasing the wind and chasing the moon, and asked with a smile: "Where is Magistrate Luo going?"

Luo Wenzhong said awkwardly: "Urgent urination, urgent urination."

"Oh, Magistrate Luo, go quickly. I'll be waiting for you here. Well, Master, right? What case happened yesterday? Hurry up and bring it up for me to see."

Xu Pengju sat directly at Luo Wenzhong's seat. The master looked at his boss with a stern look. Luo Wenzhong waved his hands with a dark face, asking the master to do as Xu Pengju said.

What else could happen?

This is the Duke of Wei. No matter how bad things are, his identity is there. There is an ironclad certificate of alchemy in his family.

Luo Wenzhong went out and turned around and then came back. Xu Pengju had just gotten the file. When he saw Luo Wenzhong coming back in a hurry, he smiled and said: "Prefect Luo, this is a bit fast. Do you want me to introduce an old doctor to you?"

Luo Wenzhong smiled awkwardly.

"Huh? A censor who patrolled the city died yesterday?"

coming!

Luo Wen Zhongzhong shouted and threw out the prepared words: "Judging from the crime pattern of Deng Wengu, it is not possible to involve a seventh-grade official, let alone a censor of science and technology. This should be someone taking advantage of troubled waters. I have already written to

Ministry of Punishment, let Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment investigate this matter thoroughly!"

"Oh? Are the people from the Criminal Department here?"

"Should be on the way..."

"That means he hasn't come yet. Magistrate Luo, you are wrong. Even if the case is handed over to the Criminal Department, if it happened on the territory of Yingtian Mansion, it must be investigated, right? Master, please arrange two government officials, and I will let my family

Let the guards help and invite Chen Tao’s family members. After all, this is the censor, so we need to investigate!"

Luo Wenzhong was suddenly sweating profusely and couldn't stop him. Xu Pengju went straight to the altar!

There are not many other people in the Xu family, but there are many servants, and there are still three pounds of nails in the ruined ship. As the first noble of the Ming Dynasty, the Xu family still has a lot of influence in the army. The servants are also quite capable and have directly replaced the yamen.

Live, shouting for power, rise up in the hall, and let the people enter the house to watch...

"What can we do!"

Luo Wenzhong was a little anxious, and the master didn't know how to break the situation. At this moment, a scribe came in, explained his identity as an aide, and whispered a few words to Luo Wenzhong. Luo Wenzhong was immediately overjoyed.

"Hahaha, let's go, go to the hall, and see how our Duke Wei can break the situation!"

Xu Pengju not only wanted to try Chen Tao's case, but also asked people to beat gongs and drums outside the Yamen, saying that in order to redress the grievances sounded by Deng Wengu, everyone in Yingtian Mansion could come to redress their grievances, and the Yamen would accept them all.

The common people didn't believe it, they just watched the fun, and no one took it seriously.

Xu Pengju was not in a hurry. He was waiting to hear Chen Tao's case. But without a cup of tea, someone really came to complain, and it was a group of people from Wuyang and Wuyang.

Seeing these people, Xu Pengju knew what was going on.

Then he asked the Yamen servant to bring the person to the court.

But I didn’t expect that these nearly a hundred people were all suing the King of Huai. Some people cried that the King of Huai occupied his family’s land, some cried that the King of Huai borrowed money and forced his family to death, and some cried that the King of Huai took his wife...

In the hall.

Zhang Zhixiang was a little confused and asked: "These people are suing King Huai. Is this person's crime extremely evil?"

In response, Xu Pengju smiled disdainfully and said: "On the contrary, this King of Huai is called Zhu Youmu, so the concubine inherited the position of his biological brother and has been an honest child since he was a child."

"His brother Zhu Youqi was a profligate. His body was broken by playing games in his early years, so he died young."

"Zhu Youxi only succeeded to the throne four years after Jiajing. I am afraid that the things these people are suing are all done by Zhu Youqi. There is nothing that can be done about those people who deliberately show off their reputation."

"All the kings of the Ming Dynasty are in the north. South of the Yangtze River, only Jiangxi has three kings."

"King Ning has been killed, and only King Huai and King Yi are left."

"But Yi Wang Zhu Youbin is really slanderous. When he was first granted the title, in order to save the court expenses, he did not even build a new palace. He lived in the original palace of Jing Xian Wang Zhu Zhanku."

"Zhu Youbin is diligent and frugal every day. He only eats vegetarian food and never buys new clothes. His clothes are washed white until they are washed. It is best to study and read history on weekdays. The people he hangs out with are all literati, and he has an excellent reputation."

"There's really no way to sue."

"So I have to choose carefully. I have to have enough weight, be a prince, have no real power, and not be too outrageous. Things in Jiangnan cannot be brought to the Central Plains."

"In the end, I can only choose Huai Wang Zhu Youhu."

Zhang Zhixiang originally thought that they would find some real things to attack, but he did not expect that even the case was slanderous. What is even more outrageous is that isn't Prince Huai in Raozhou Prefecture? These plaintiffs flew to Yingtian Prefecture overnight.

?

"Isn't this too fake?"

"The person may be fake, but the case should be true. Zhu Youqi will be implicated in the evil he committed."

"We have to find out."

"It is necessary to investigate, but it is definitely not easy to investigate. If my guess is correct, the Ministry of Punishment should have been dispatched. King Huai will be escorted to Yingtian Mansion soon. They will think that Deng Wengu is Taizu's apparition.

On the grounds of punishing the unworthy descendants, we should first nail the case of Prince Huai, and then attack the Long Live Lord."

"What should we do now?"

"Investigate the cases together. Investigate the case of Chen Tao, the censor of the city, and the case of Huai Wang Zhu Youxi. The water will be muddied, so that we can handle things better."
