The drumbeats were concentrated.
It instantly broke the silence in the hall.
In front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yunwen, who was originally kneeling, suddenly turned her head and looked outside.
Imperial Grandfather was about to make his decision.
Where did the drums come from?
In Zhu Yunwen's heart, Lan Yu and the others had to be killed!
This was not just his idea.
It was also the thoughts of the aides behind him.
After all!
One had to know that in the Eastern Palace, there was still his half-brother, Zhu Yunyan!
Kaiping King's Mansion was his uncle's clan!
State Duke of Liang Lan Yu was his granduncle!
The entire Huaixi nobility was closely related to him!
Blue Jade and the others didn't die.
How could he sleep?
Who was beating the drum!
Listen to the drums…
"Is it the Dengwen Drum?"
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang also reacted. He frowned slightly. His decision was suddenly interrupted, and he was also a little unhappy.
"Who is beating the Dengwen Drum?"
"Where is the grievance?”
Right now, the entire dynasty was making a big fuss about the "Blue Jade Case", spending a lot of effort and making preparations.
At this time, who still had eyes and insisted on jumping right under his nose?
Just as he was thinking about this.
Zhu Yuanzhang went to the window and saw Jiang Meng and the others standing outside.
"Let Jiang Meng in."
After a while.
After hearing the order, Jiang Meng walked into the Hall of Self-respect nervously.
"What's going on outside? Who was the one who struck the Dengwen Drum?"
"Your Majesty!"
Jiang Fou swallowed. This matter was actually very small. It was nothing more than a family member of a hundred households in the five military governors 'office.
Normally, that centurion wouldn't even be able to see him.
Not to mention that son!
But now.
Because of that brat, this matter was extremely worrying!
It even alarmed Tian Yan!
"The one who struck the Dengwen Drum was the son of a hundred households in the front line of the Five Armies Governor's Office!”
As expected.
After he finished speaking.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly.
Hundred households?
This official position was too small, not to mention his son…
In the past, he might have had the mood to ask about it, but now that he had the Blue Jade Case in his hands, how could he have the mood?
However, when the Dengwen Drum sounded, the emperor would accept it. This was the rule he had set!
Unless…
Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to break his own rules.
"A hundred households in the capital and a position in the Governor's Office, what could happen?”
"Your Majesty."
Fortunately, Jiang He finished speaking in one breath." This centurion is involved in the Lan Yu case. I found out that there are some extremely secretive letters sealed in the study of the Duke of Liang Lan Yu.”
"If it wasn't for the fact that I found a hidden compartment in the wall three times, I really wouldn't have been able to find it.”
"Oh!" Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted," Lan Yu hid it so well. It seems like he really has the crime of treason. Have you found out who he was communicating with?”
The old man's last sentence was filled with undisguised coldness and killing intent.
He had just made up his mind.
Lan Yu must be killed!
In the decades that he had been the emperor of Ming Dynasty, all those who had made up their minds.
He would definitely deal with it quickly!
However…
At this moment, Jiang Meng paused slightly.
He suddenly stopped talking.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes instantly turned to look at him, and he thought of what the other party had just said.
He immediately reacted.
"Could it be that these letters are all secret letters to that centurion?" he asked in surprise.”
"That's right!" Jiang Meng nodded.
"What secrets can a centurion have, even in the five armies 'governor's office?”
"What is written in these letters?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in confusion.”
Jiang Meng shook his head." Your Majesty, it's strange…The letter is full of greetings…"
"For example, how much taller you have grown this year…"
"What have you been eating for the past month…"
" Also, I'm sick. I want to see how the doctor is doing…"
"Oh right, there's also the reply from Lan Yu, who refused to let him take the imperial examinations when he was studying in a private school.”
" As for the rest, they were torn apart. I couldn't find anything…"
" That's why I suspect that the information inside must have been deliberately encrypted by them in some way. It may seem like a daily routine, but there must be a lot of things inside that cannot be known by others!”
Jiang Meng said with certainty.
It was related to Blue Jade! Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't let his guard down. When he heard this, he was even more puzzled.
Because according to his understanding of Lan Yu.
The latter didn't seem to be so meticulous. They even used encrypted means to communicate with each other?
However…
One might not know a person's heart by their appearance. Perhaps Lan Yu had an advisor, or perhaps Lan Yu herself was a person who hid her true abilities and appeared to be a fool.
How could a fierce general who could defeat Northern Yuan be a straightforward and reckless person?
There must be something fishy!
"Send those letters over as soon as possible!”
"In addition, according to what you said just now, the one who struck the Dengwen Drum was the son of that Baihu, right?”
Jiang Meng nodded.
He sensed that the Emperor's thoughts were affected by those letters.
Thus, he didn't blame them and allowed that kid to beat the Dengwen Drum and alarm the heavens.
This made Jiang Meng completely relieved.
"Today, this subordinate sent someone to search this centurion's house. Unexpectedly, his eldest son suddenly took out the Great Decree and said that he had a grievance. His father, Su Zhen 'an, did not participate in the Blue Jade Case.”
"Because he holds the Great Decree, according to His Majesty's orders, we dare not stop him!”
"That's why he went all the way to the Gate of Heaven Influence and sounded the Dengwen Drum!”
Zhu Yuanzhang listened to him calmly.
"There are still people who dare to use the Great Gao to seek justice!”
"This matter is very good!"
"This is enough to show that under my rule, when the people of Ming Dynasty see you so-called high officials and servants, they dare to report and complain about injustice! Such a great Ming Dynasty, such a common people, this is the peaceful world that I want!”
It was beyond Jiang Meng's expectations.
Not only was Zhu Yuanzhang not angry, but he was also extremely gratified.
Zhu Yunwen, who had already stood up, quickly complimented,"Imperial Grandfather, this is all because the people trust you to uphold justice!”
"Oh, really?"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed before shaking his head slowly.
"But we can't give him this justice!”
"However, since this kid dares to beat the Dengwen Drum at this time to voice his grievances, we will give him this chance to prove his innocence.”
"At least check these letters!”
"If they really didn't participate in the Blue Jade Case, or if they weren't deeply involved, we should give them a chance to live.”
"But don't cry out injustice. This is a case that Zhen personally investigated, so how can there be injustice?”
The meaning behind Zhu Yuanzhang's words was self-evident.
He wanted the kid who knocked on the Dengwen Drum to retreat.
After all.
The Sapphire Case involved many people. Today, you're pleading for justice, but tomorrow, will he also plead for justice?
This continued.
What about the Blue Jade Case?
It was better to let them know in advance that if the family of a hundred families was not deeply involved, they could spare their lives.
However!
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang said this.
Jiang Meng suddenly interrupted.
"Your Majesty, this child…seems to have cut off his own path of survival.”
"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned." Why?”
Jiang Meng knelt down with a thud.
"Because this child…"
"Not just to carry the coffin!"
"He even said that he wanted to carry the coffin and remonstrate!"
