My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 245: You’re sweating profusely, brother
Therefore, when meeting Zhu Changning, the emperor's royal thug, these bugs rarely showed nervousness and other emotions.

After all, the civil and military generals beside Zhu Houcong knew the emperor's temper and power well.

The tribute paid by these local officials is as fearful as a tiger's.

I don't dare to collect and take it at will.

Only Zhu Changning, the commander of the Forbidden Army and a close comrade of the Emperor of Heaven, dared to accept the gifts these insects could give.

No matter how huge the amount is, Zhu Changning will always accept anyone who comes. As long as the things promised by the other party are not harmful to nature and are within his own scope, he will accept them.

Of course, registration is still required.

After all, after finishing the matter and dividing the money with the emperor, why would Zhu Houcong still send the imperial guards to go door to door at night to question these court officials?
When the Jinyi guards lined up all kinds of torture instruments in front of these corrupt officials, they reminded us that the whole body is generally not kept here. Are you sure that is true?
It usually doesn't take much effort to get the real source of the wealth out of their mouths, and then continue to pursue the stolen goods.

Subsequently, he will be convicted according to the seriousness of the circumstances, and you can choose from various criminal laws, ranging from the nine tribes to eliminate the music and the bottom to the waist and the abandoned city.

What a pity... What a pity... You can book the whole building for me for seven days. It seems that the group of royal guards will be busy waiting for dad to come back!
Thinking that such good days would never happen again, Zhu Changning couldn't help but sigh.

Turning his head inadvertently, he saw the Zisu girl next to him who had no idea what he was thinking about. Her face was red and she was staring at him nervously. She was playing the pipa in her hand without even realizing that she was playing the wrong strings.

?

Is it out of tune?My good sister!
Zhu Changning was full of suspicion.

Is this the so-called most talented woman in Jinling?
I'm afraid someone is here to entertain our family!

Yes, I'm just here to listen to music. What do you think I'm doing here?
When listening to music, you have to listen to the best, otherwise what’s the point?

Now that the music has been ordered, the song and dance performances, drinks and fruits can’t be too much, right?
Music to listen to, food to eat, beauties to serve...

The things in the palace are great, but it's a pity that my father is a bit too stingy.

Is it ridiculous to only hold a big event once a month?
What is my identity?What a status!
If it weren't for Zhu Houcong's honest statement that the Ming Dynasty would not enfeoff female vassal kings.

Zhu Changning wanted to set his fiefdom in Nanjing.

Now I am so happy!
Hope the good days can continue!
Zhu Changning is full of longing!

As if she felt Zhu Changning's gaze, the Zisu girl's face turned redder, her head lowered deeply, her evasive eyes full of resentment and annoyance at her embarrassing performance just now.

Fortunately, following Zhu Changning's gaze, she discovered her gaffe in time, and the melody gradually returned to normal.

Zhu Changning closed his eyes to admire it, and finally couldn't help but applaud and praise with one head.

The money was not in vain!
It was almost time. In order to reward the Zisu girl for her performance today, Zhu Changning opened the window.

In the dark night sky, fireworks suddenly bloomed like beautiful golden roses.

Among them, the frank and explicit love for a girl playing the pipa in the room was clearly displayed in front of everyone.

It caused a cry of exclamation in the city.

Although when Zhu Changning turned around, the girl named Zisu still lowered her head.

But the out-of-tune pipa sound showed that she was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.

"Good sister! You are so partial! You only give it to sister Zisu but forget about us..."

"That's right, I want it too, I want it too!"

"My sister is so bad. My jealous sister's heart is pounding. Don't you believe it? If you don't believe me, come and touch me?"

Listening to the jeers of the girls surrounding him, Zhu Changning turned around and smiled.

"No hurry, no hurry, everyone has-"

"have what--"

Along with the familiar voice, Zhu Houcong's familiar figure appeared in front of Zhu Changning.

"..."

Zhu Changning was silent.

But Zhu Houcong in front of him glanced at the box in front of him. Although it was just an arty place, there were many authentic works of calligraphers from the Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties hanging on the walls.

Among the calligraphy and paintings there are many inscriptions by the great Confucians and senior officials since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Houcong even saw the handwriting left here by Liu Zhongcheng and Liu Bowen, who were becoming more and more mysterious in this world as Taizu of the Ming Dynasty conquered the world.Above is a phoenix bird spreading its wings and ready to fly.

Zhu Houcong recognized at a glance that this guy had definitely seen the real thing.

After all, just now a phoenix bird in the form of King Chuzhuang spread its wings and slipped away from Zhu Houcong's eyes and returned to the moon.

It seems that Liu Bowen has some real abilities under his fame.

"Ask the shop owner how much this painting costs, and if we buy it -"

Behind Zhu Houcong were three other people, namely Wang Zuo and two guards in casual clothes.

After hearing the order, Wang Zuo immediately sent two people to go to the shopkeeper to discuss buying it at a suitable price, while he continued to serve the emperor.

After seeing Zhu Houcong's arrival, Zhu Changning froze on the spot, his brain working rapidly, thinking about ways to escape.

But looking at the Yingying Yanyan beside me.

Forget it, I can’t think of it, just wait to die!
Zhu Changning's brain shut down.

Zhu Houcong did not rebuke angrily.

Instead, he pulled Zhu Changning and looked at the woman with different thoughts in front of him, but he didn't want her to be embarrassed in front of the other girls.

Looking at the women in front of him who had fallen here due to various reasons, Zhu Houcong sighed in his heart and said.

"Dog Girl Meng Lang, no matter what she promised you before, I will agree to it, but she has other important matters tonight, so she should leave with me."

Wang Zuo's lips twitched behind him when he heard Zhu Houcong calling Zhu Changning "dog girl".

The left hand holding the knife couldn't help but tremble slightly.

This is the second time today that he has lost his temper like this.

In other words, he had never been so nervous when he was presenting to Zhu Houcong some possible doubts about Ming Xiaozong's life experience.

After all, even if the emperor wants to silence him for the sake of the royal family's face, there is a high probability that he will not be able to kill him, an old man in the palace.

but now--

Although today's emperor has a vague reputation among the government and the public for being unkind and harsh on his officials.

But those are just the lies of country folk who don’t understand God’s grace.

Nowadays, today's saints and bodhisattvas are dedicated to the country. They go to the front line and work tirelessly. They can be called a model for all officials... How can it be really as mean and ungrateful as these corrupt officials say... I say yes, this A censor who was unfortunately imprisoned for corruption.

Whenever he interrogates corrupt officials who tell lies because they know they will die, Wang Zuo must adhere to the work spirit conveyed by the emperor to not only destroy the opponent physically, but also to refute the opponent mentally.

This kind of rhetoric is repeated several times every month by some unfortunate high-ranking officials who have been dismissed.

However, after hearing too much, some Jin Yiwei inevitably became a little shaken themselves.

At this time, they would silently walk in front of these prisoners and carefully look at the miserable fate of these empire sinners - to warn themselves not to go down the evil path of disrespecting the emperor and father due to a moment of negligence and keep company with these prisoners in front of them.

Well, just kidding.

However, Wang Zuo has been following Zhu Houcong since his time in the royal palace, even though the prince has made shocking remarks (thoughts from time-travelers) since he was a child.

But overall, the prince's character is quite calm.

Therefore, today’s words are really——

Wang Zuo couldn't help but break into a cold sweat when he thought of this.

He stared at the girl in front of him without leaving any trace, but the more he looked at her, the more shocked he became.

Compared with the Emperor - good guy, he really looks a bit like him!
Zhu Houcong's own appearance can only be regarded as pretty, but after cultivating immortality, after undergoing foundation-building elixirs and cleansing the essence twice, even a person with imperfect appearance can become a beauty that is hard to find in the world.

What's more, Zhu Houcong's own foundation is not very bad.

And Zhu Changning on the side was even worse.

　It’s over. I’ll start restoring my monthly account tomorrow. I’ll calculate how many chapters I owe in total and try to finish it for everyone this month.
