Imperial Physician Li's words made the father and son trio in the room fall silent.
"You may leave."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved at Imperial Physician Li.
The latter felt as if he had been pardoned and quickly carried the medicine box, wiping the oil off the soles of his feet.
Realizing that something was wrong with his father's gaze, Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and said,"
"This matter is a long story.”
He then told them the results of his investigation over the past two days.
In just three days, there were five vengeful spirits who came to him. They were all women who had been persecuted to death by the Xue family.
The flower boat was a place for those corrupt officials to enjoy themselves. It was also a place for exchange of interests. Many shameful things were done on the Xue family's flower boat.
When they received those dignitaries, they heard many secrets.
For example, the Deputy Prefect of Zhan Shi had poisoned his first wife to death, but because the other party did not allow him to take a concubine, he had bribed the coroner of the Ministry of Justice and made it look like he had committed suicide by consuming poison.
For example, the current assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice had helped the second son of the Xue family to steal the sky and change the sun. The second son of the Xue family, who should have been sentenced to death, had died suddenly from illness in prison. In fact, not only did the other party not die, but he had also become a lawless rapist who kidnapped women for the flower boat.
This was only the tip of the iceberg.
Amongst them were officials that Zhu Biao was familiar with, and even his henchmen!
He was usually a gentleman, but who would have thought that he was such a beast behind his back.
"These things that are worse than pigs and dogs deserve to die!”
The more Zhu Yuanzhang listened, the more he gritted his teeth.
He, who was born in poverty, had seen how chaotic the end of the Yuan Dynasty was. Those with high status and power treated the people like pigs and dogs, and corrupt officials ran amok.
All the uprising armies rose up because of the Yuan Dynasty's corruption!
Yesterday in the Yuan Dynasty seemed to be today in the Ming Dynasty!
At that moment, it was exactly like this moment.
Would there be a day when the people of Great Ming would also raise their butcher's knives against Old Zhu's family?
" There's actually such a thing?!"
Zhu Di's pupils trembled.
He finally understood why the young Taoist priest had said that his eldest brother was unwilling to let those vengeful souls turn into ashes.
It actually came true again!
Then, his eyes revealed a trace of killing intent as he said,"If you ask me, why don't we just capture them and kill them all! He didn't want to implicate his eldest brother and cause him to be haunted by vengeful spirits!”
"When the time comes, I'll resolve the knot in the hearts of those vengeful souls, and they'll naturally reincarnate!”
Zhu Biao rejected the suggestion and said,""Fourth brother, don't be rash. Every country had its laws, and every family had its rules. If they couldn't produce convincing evidence and executed more than ten officials of the court, the court would be in a panic and it would be even more troublesome.”
"Those people who are worse than pigs and dogs are corrupt and perverted the law.”
Looking at Zhu Biao's weak appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed,"Imperial Father promises you that we will definitely take care of this matter to the end. How can a living person stay with a vengeful soul all day long!”
Zhu Biao shook his head slowly, his eyes filled with determination.
"Those women are also pitiful people. It's normal for them to have resentment. It's even more reasonable for your son to bear this resentment.”
"This is the resentment of the people, the evil consequence of the Imperial Court's failure to treat the people.”
"Since we've seen this, we can't turn a blind eye to it. Otherwise, one day, the commoners everywhere will rise up. At that time, it will be too late to regret. The resentment of the commoners that is truly ignited will cause the Ming Dynasty to collapse!”
"Imperial Father, please allow your son to continue investigating this case!”
Looking at the determined and benevolent Zhu Biao, Old Zhu didn't know what to say.
Because he knew that Biao was right.
Would there be such a day?
If he allowed something like this to happen, he would definitely do it!
There were too many corrupt officials, and the common people could not bear the grudges. Those countless crimes would eventually be pinned on the Zhu family's head no matter what!
But as a father, Old Zhu's heart ached!
After a long silence, Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and said with a gratified expression,"
"Our Biao Er is becoming more and more like an emperor.”
If it was any other Emperor who said this to the Crown Prince, they might have been warning him.
The only person in history who could say this from the bottom of his heart was Zhu Yuanzhang.
When Empress Ma was still alive, she had secretly put on a dragon robe for Zhu Biao. Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry when he saw it. He even smiled and said,"Our son looks better than us when he wears a dragon robe."”
"Oh right, big brother."
Zhu Di's eyes suddenly lit up." I forgot just now. Today, I met a young Taoist priest who can calculate. He's a true extraordinary person."”
"He gave me a jade talisman, saying that it could resolve my elder brother's worries!”
Now, Zhu Di already regarded Zhang Qing as someone who was not inferior to Yao Guangxiao.
"Young Taoist priest?"
"What kind of young Taoist priest is he?" Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment.”
Zhu Di took out the jade talisman and said,""I met him today when I went to the Qinhuai River to look for my eldest brother. He's unbelievably young, and he's wearing a plain white Daoist robe. He's holding a coarse wooden horsetail whisk, and the words 'Immortal Shows the Way' are written on the banner."
"So it's Daoist Priest Zhang Xiao. I've troubled him again.”
Zhu Biao took the jade talisman and immediately felt a warm feeling from it.
Warmth slowly and steadily flowed into his limbs and bones through the jade talisman.
Especially the waist!
Immediately, Zhu Biao's pale face turned red.
"Daoist Priest Zhang Xiao?"
"Brother, do you know that young Taoist priest?" Zhu Di was stunned for a moment and asked.”
