Zhu Yuanzhang said in disbelief,"I didn't hear wrongly, did I?"“
Chen Jingge felt the powerful aura emanating from Zhu Yuanzhang's body and subconsciously wanted to retreat.
"That's right, Hu Weiyong has been arrested and thrown into prison!”
"Chen Jingge!" Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Chen Jingge and shouted.
Chen Jingge was not afraid at all. Liu Bowen quickly walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's side and said,"Your Majesty! There must be a reason for this! Let's listen to his reason first.”
Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his anger and said,""I want to hear what you have to say.“
Chen Jingge glared at Zhu Yuanzhang and said slowly,""I followed the rules! He has committed a crime, I will definitely punish him!”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chen Jingge suspiciously again and asked,"What crime do you think he has committed?“
Hu Weiyong was not the kind of person who would break the law! On the contrary, he was very concerned about the country and the people.
Chen Jingge said slowly," He destroyed public property. According to the law, he was sentenced to one month in prison.”
Zhu Yuanzhang flew into a rage again and said,"What kind of crime is this? In my opinion, you're just relying on your status to do whatever you want! Guards!"
Immediately, a group of guards surrounded Chen Jingge.
Seeing this, Xia Chan was about to make a move, but Chen Jingge gave her a look.
"Listen to me…" said Chen Jingge.
Before Chen Jingge could finish, Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted him and said,"Don't even think about denying it! Do you know who ordered Hu Weiyong to come? I want your life, who can stop me?“
When he said the last sentence, his eyes were filled with killing intent. Even Liu Bowen couldn't help but lower his head after hearing this.
However, Liu Bowen still braced himself and said,"Emperor, why not listen to his opinion before making a decision! Otherwise, it would be a huge loss for Fengyang County to frame a county magistrate who was well-behaved!”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chen Jingge coldly.
Chen Jingge felt Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze and slowly said,""I have evidence of Hu Weiyong destroying public property.”
Then, Chen Jingge immediately went to get a set of standard documents.
Not long after, Chen Jingge came in with a standard document and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"That day, my men saw someone on the newly built official road, so they went forward to take a look. In the end, they saw Hu Weiyong on the official road, and the footprints on the road were exactly the same as Hu Weiyong's shoe prints.“
Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Chen Jingge's words and his anger immediately subsided. However, this Chen Jingge did not put Hu Weiyong in his eyes at all. It was simply contempt for the Emperor.
"Then do you know that this Hu Weiyong is the Right Prime Minister? If he was imprisoned by you for more than a month, I would have one less minister by my side.”
" Your Majesty," Chen Jingge said slowly," when I caught him, he also said that once I caught him, I would be stripped of my position!" But I still captured him without hesitation! I'm the county magistrate of Fengyang County, and I was appointed by His Majesty. I have to think for the people in everything I do!”
Zhu Yuanzhang learned from Chen Jingge that Hu Weiyong actually threatened Chen Jingge's official position, which made him furious.
But when Chen Jingge said the last sentence, he suddenly realized that this man was really selfless!
At this point, Chen Jingge added,""This subordinate feels that Your Majesty has already done a good job in handling government affairs. That's why Your Majesty has received unanimous praise from the people!”
"So, it doesn't matter whether there's a prime minister or not!”His Majesty's decision was the most important! On the contrary, the prime minister can easily resist the imperial power, such as Cao Cao."
Hearing Chen Jingge's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was in turmoil!
Everything depended on his choice! Hu Weiyong could even use his identity to plant a group of people in the imperial court!
What Chen Jingge said made sense. He agreed with him.
Chen Jingge's words were undoubtedly a slap to Zhu Yuanzhang's face.
Liu Bowen heard it clearly from the side. Chen Jingge's few words had made Hu Weiyong fall into the situation of being suspected by the Emperor. He was really an expert in the court!
Chen Jingge was pleading with Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that Hu Weiyong was a malignant tumor.
"If you don't believe me, you can go to jail with me.”
