On the other side, a letter from Chen Jingge came from Jinling.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the armchair, while Liu Bowen stood in front of him with a letter that Zhu Yuanzhang had given him.
"I didn't expect him to imprison Hu Weiyong!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily. You even said it so righteously!"
Liu Bowen smiled." Your Majesty, this is the best choice! This matter was indeed the Prime Minister's fault! Wasn't this a natural punishment?“
"Does he know that I sent this Hu Weiyong? Isn't this a blatant provocation?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily. I'm so angry!"
Liu Bowen said earnestly," Your Majesty, he is doing his part. He is doing this to prove to Your Majesty that he is a fair person, just like how Bao Zheng dealt with the members of the royal family. If it were me, I would also act according to the law!”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he also felt that it made sense.
Liu Bowen saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was silent and continued,"Besides, Your Majesty, let alone Hu Weiyong, even we were thrown into prison when we went to Fengyang County!”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his expression turned a little ugly. He said,"You're right."
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Liu Bowen knew that he had convinced him.
Zhu Yuanzhang said to Liu Bowen,"Liu Ji, you can go now."“
Liu Ji said to Zhu Yuanzhang,"Your Majesty, why don't we go to Fengyang County and tell Chen Jingge to give us more seeds?"”
"Is it appropriate to go now?"
"Of course it's suitable."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stood up and prepared to leave.
"We must get more of such good seedlings!”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the wheat growing in the small field in front of him, his eyes filled with joy.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but exclaim,"I didn't expect such a good breed to exist in the world!"“
When Liu Bowen heard this, he immediately praised,""This is my blessing! The Emperor must have moved the heavens to send such a person to assist the Emperor.”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he turned around and said to Liu Bowen,"Bowen! You're so humble. You're much better than him.“
"I only know that he is a fair and upright person. He is neither humble nor overbearing. He is not afraid of power. He is admirable!" Liu Bowen said in a deep voice.”
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him and said,"You're just putting gold on his face!" There are only a few people in the world who can be praised by you like this!”
...
A month later, it was the day Hu Weiyong was released.
As soon as he stepped out, someone immediately greeted him.
Hu Weiyong's attendant said awkwardly,""Prime Minister, we can't stay in Fengyang County.”
"What did you say?" Hu Weiyong asked in disbelief. Why couldn't he stay?“
"Because, because, the people here…" The attendant stammered.
"Let's talk things out!" Hu Weiyong immediately snapped.“
"They said that the Prime Minister did not follow the rules and was disrespectful to the county magistrate, so we cannot stay in Fengyang County!”
When Hu Weiyong heard this, he couldn't believe it."No one wants us to spend the night here?”
"Yes."
When Hu Weiyong heard this, he flew into a rage and flung his sleeves!
"This Chen Jingge is too detestable! I, Hu Weiyong, will remember this grudge!”
Then, Hu Weiyong came to a secret room and flipped through the information handed over by a martial artist.
"Are you sure he came today?" Hu Weiyong asked unhurriedly.”
"Yes."
When Hu Weiyong heard this, his eyes flashed and he said,""I'll go see him tomorrow and see what he's up to!”
"Yes."
The next day, Hu Weiyong came to Chen Jingge.
However, the news he received was that Chen Jingge did not want to see anyone.
Hu Weiyong used his identity as the Prime Minister to force him to submit, but the guards at the door did not agree.
"How dare you insult our county magistrate! We won't inform you!"
Hu Weiyong was furious. He wanted to order the guards to beat this person up immediately, but when he remembered that Chen Jingge had thrown him into prison, he endured it.
At this moment, another man of similar age to him arrived in front of the Chen family.
"I am Xiao Yuan. Here are seventy taels of silver as a token of my appreciation.”
When Hu Weiyong saw this scene, he was stunned!
"Lord Xiao, please wait for a moment. This subordinate will report immediately.“
Hu Weiyong was enlightened when he saw this!
This Chen Jingge was simply a corrupt official!
Therefore, he did not want to wait any longer and returned directly. This was enough for him to say that Chen Jingge was corrupt in front of the Emperor!
In order to prevent officials from being corrupt, Zhu Yuanzhang had specially set a rule. If one accepted a bribe of sixty taels of silver, they would have to be skinned alive!
After he left, Xiao Yuan also walked into the Chen family.
After Chen Jingge finished discussing with Xiao Yuan, he heard from Xia Chan that Hu Weiyong saw Xiao Yuan take out seventy taels of silver.
"It's fine! Let's see if he still dares to fall for my trick! If he fell into the trap, it would be exciting!”Chen Jingge said and led the group of people out.
That night, Hu Weiyong received news that Chen Jingge was still the same as before.
Therefore, he immediately led his men to where Chen Jingge was going.
