Chapter 71 The end has come
"Is it?"
Lao Zhu just smiled coldly at Jianwen's stupid rebuttal and moved his eyes to Zhu Houzhao. At this time, it was Zhu Houzhao's turn to perform.
Zhu Houzhao immediately understood, took out the book recording the criminal evidence of Huang, Qi, and Fang, and presented it directly to Lao Zhu.
"Asshole..."
After reading the various evidence of illegal crimes of the three companies recorded in the book, Lao Zhu immediately became furious. What he hated most was corrupt officials!
Although the Jianwen Three Fools themselves are relatively clean, their family members have been involved in corruption, bribery, and all kinds of chaos. Without their protection, how could the three families engage in unscrupulous corruption and perversion of the law.
When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent. Lao Zhu especially believes in this truth.
"You keep saying that you were wronged, so tell us what is recorded on it!"
Lao Zhu angrily threw the incriminating evidence on Jianwen Sansi's face, his murderous intent could no longer be suppressed.
Originally, he wanted to kill the three fools Jianwen, but now it is even more certain that the three fools Jianwen will die. The evidence of the crime is conclusive. If they don't kill them, they will still be able to celebrate the New Year.
Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Fang Xiaoru picked up the book and looked at it. Their first reaction was disbelief. They were all upright officials. How could they do so many unscrupulous things? Their second reaction was anger. They felt that this must be the case.
It was Zhu Houzhao who was setting them up.
They have heard about and seen Jin Yiwei's ability to make things out of thin air. Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu, one is powerful and the other is domineering and rampant. In the end, they were executed for treason. But in fact, Hu Weiyong and Lan never thought about rebellion.
.
Hu and Lan had no idea of rebellion, let alone the ability to rebel. The reason why they ended up being wiped out was because the emperor no longer needed them, and Jin Yiwei labeled them as rebels.
Emperor Taizu wants them dead!
Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Fang Xiaoru all thought in their minds that they thought they were upright officials and could not possibly commit so many corruption and perversion of the law. Then there was only one explanation. It was Jin Yiwei who made it up, and it was Lao Zhu who wanted the three of them.
Go to hell.
"Traitor, how dare you frame me!"
The three people glared at Zhu Houzhao, feeling that this was another Mao Xiang or Jiang Gu who would not hesitate to frame a pillar of the country like them in order to gain the emperor's favor.
"Emperor Taizu clearly understands that I have been honest and loyal throughout my life and never dared to slack off for a moment. The above-mentioned charges are purely framed and made out of nothing. I ask Emperor Taizu to severely punish this traitor and give me justice."
The three people were full of desire for survival and hurriedly complained to Lao Zhu about their grievances. They denied all charges and even turned against Zhu Houzhao and led an army.
Seeing the upright and awe-inspiring looks of Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Fang Xiaoru, Lao Zhu couldn't help but feel a little disgusted in his heart. They were three idiots who didn't drop the coffin until they saw it.
But it's also a bit funny. Even his ancestors couldn't do anything to Zhu Houzhao, but these three guys dared to accuse each other of traitors. They were really brave.
Zhu Houzhao was naturally extremely upset when the three idiots Jianwen scolded them as traitors, but he was not in a hurry to kill them. It was too easy to kill them with one knife. Killing people and killing their hearts was his unique skill.
bang bang bang
As the applause fell, a group of guards in golden uniforms escorted people from the Huang, Qi, and Fang families into the hall. They were all disheveled and extremely embarrassed. There were even traces of being whipped on their bodies.
"Traitor, what do you want to do?"
Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Fang Xiaoru were so angry that they arrested their families without asking any questions. Is there any way to protect them?
"Why don't you three adults ask them what they did behind your back?"
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, he had seen the end of Jianwen's three idiots.
"you......"
"That's enough, shut up."
The ancestor spoke and interrogated the Huang, Qi, and Fang families: "Let me ask you whether the charges recorded in the account book are true."
"It's true, it's all true!"
Huang Zicheng's youngest son answered hurriedly, fearing that if he didn't answer in time, he would be brutally beaten again.
The same goes for everyone else, they were all frightened!
Early this morning, while they were still sleeping, their home was ransacked and taken away by the Jinyiwei. Then they were beaten severely, and then they were brought here. They dare not deny that the Jinyiwei's prison was more terrifying than the hell on earth.
They would rather die than go back to this place!
The Jin Yiwei ordered him to be imprisoned, and few of them were as unruly and unruly as the Huaixi generals, let alone a group of ordinary people who had no power to restrain a chicken.
"..."
Lao Zhu was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Huang, Qi, and Fang would admit it so happily, which surprised him, but now that he admitted it, things would be easier to handle next!
"How do you all commit corruption and pervert the law?"
The Huang, Qi, and Fang families immediately revealed the illegal things they had done like fried beans.
Fang Xiaoru refused to accept the bribe, so his nephew took it for him privately.
The youngest son of Qi Tai raped a good woman, and the woman threw herself into a river afterwards. This was settled by the reputation of Qi Tai's Minister of War.
The brother of Huang Zicheng's wife robbed a family's land, but nothing happened after that. The family was also murdered and their bodies were dumped in the wilderness.
...
There are countless dirty and dirty things, involving hundreds of murders. The crimes are so heinous that death is not a pity.
"It's over!"
Listening to their family members' narration, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Fang Xiaoru felt that the sky and the earth were darkening for a while, and they understood that their end had come.
Due to Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's hatred for corrupt officials, they would inevitably be executed by the whole family and end up with a lasting infamy.
When they thought of this, they were filled with despair. They were not afraid of death, but they were afraid of losing their reputation. For traditional scholars like them, reputation was more important than their lives.
Turning around and taking a look, the eyes of all the ministers were full of contempt and disdain. You three are noble, you are great, and you dream of world unity. How come your family is like this, and has done all kinds of evil and dirty things!
If you still want to leave your name in history, it would be great if you don’t want to be infamy for thousands of years!
The three of them were so ashamed and angry that they thought they were role models of upright officials, but their families were full of evildoers, and they were all disgraced!
"I've always warned you not to touch things you shouldn't have, but why don't you listen?"
Fang Xiaoru's eyes turned red and he roared angrily at his nephew. He knew that he was completely finished. Not only was his life in danger, but his reputation for the rest of his life would become stinking.
"Can you blame me? I don't even want to give you free money. You are stupid, but I am not stupid!"
Fang Xiaoru's nephew was also extremely aggrieved. During the Hongwu period, salaries were low, and the emperor was very ruthless in dealing with corrupt officials. He did not dare to reach out easily. Now that Emperor Jianwen is in power, Fang Xiaoru has also risen through the ranks. What happened to their relatives who are getting some benefits?
Not only him, Huang Zicheng, but also Qitai's family members all have the same idea. When one person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. They don't ask for ascending to heaven. They just want to make some money, build some real estate, and be free and happy. Isn't it right?
As for the lives they caused, they didn't even care. Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Fang Xiaoru were the most trusted ministers of Emperor Jianwen. There was nothing they could not settle.
