My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 195: Killing someone
After Zhu Di finished speaking, he looked at Xu Qin excitedly. Xu Qin nodded. It was indeed true. Those civil officials were warning Zhu Di.

Zhu Di just stared at Xu Qin, and Xu Qin could only say, "Your Majesty is right!"

"I want you to say this?" Zhu Di said, staring at Xu Qin.

"What, what does that mean? What should I say?" Xu Qin was confused and looked at Zhu Di in confusion.

Zhu Di poured himself a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and said to Xu Qin: "Da Ming Daily, come here!"

Xu Qin stood up and said to Zhu Di excitedly, "Are you kidding? Me? Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't stop me, so I? Those civil officials will kill me. Your Majesty, I am the only son in my family, and I haven't even married yet. If I die, my family line will be extinct. Uncle, you can't cheat your father-in-law's family or your brother-in-law's family like this!"

Zhu Di had a headache and could only hold his head and look at Xu Qin. What Xu Qin just said could not be wrong. It was indeed so. He could not help but consider Xu Huizu's lineage. This kid didn't even have a child. If he died at that time, how would he explain it?

Zhu Di then said with contempt: "Are you too hopeless? There are two beautiful maids in the courtyard, and Miss Xiao outside. Can't you let them get pregnant? If three women are pregnant, there must be a boy, right?"

Zhu Di rolled his eyes when he heard this. Is this what an uncle would say?

"Otherwise, I will talk to your aunt and ask her to make a point with Duke Cheng's Mansion. I will select a few palace maids for you to be your concubines. Can you have more children?" Zhu Di continued to look at Xu Qin and said.

"Hey, I knew you're not a good person. Do you want to make our family restless from now on? Anyway, if I don't go, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't stand it. Do you expect me to stand up for you? Are you kidding? Besides, if I go to Daming Daily with those words I wrote, do you want me to embarrass myself? Make me embarrass myself in circles?" Xu Qin said while sitting there complaining.

"What should we do then?" Zhu Di stared at Xu Qin and said.

"It's easy. Investigate strictly and kill them. Kill a group of them until they are scared. Then find someone to deal with Daming Daily. In a word, mobilize them from the civil officials and recruit them temporarily. They will still be affiliated with the Eastern Palace. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the final say on what to publish in Daming Daily! Otherwise, continue to fight against them and select a group of people from the Imperial College to enter the Eastern Palace again. Or, don't let them work in the Eastern Palace and put them directly in the Three Camps of the Capital." Xu Qin sat there and immediately came up with two solutions.

"Good idea, put it in the Third Battalion of the Capital, there will be absolutely no problem, good, good, why didn't I think of it before?" Zhu Di was very happy when he heard Xu Qin's words. Then he called Xu Qin and said, "Quick, pour the wine, pour the wine, fill it up!"

"Hey, you've been thinking about cheating me every day. I'm already on your pirate ship." Xu Qin poured himself a glass of wine and said with a sigh.

"My ship is called a pirate ship? You bastard, you are going too far!" Zhu Di glared at Xu Qin and said.

"Anyway, I won't care about the Trade Bureau's affairs after I'm done with them. I don't want to work. I'm such a rich man, I deserve to enjoy myself. I came to Ming Dynasty to enjoy myself. There's no other way. I have the ability. I have money. My aunt is the queen, my uncle is the emperor, and my eldest cousin is the prince. You say I shouldn't enjoy myself. As long as I don't go out and cause trouble, it will be the greatest contribution to Ming Dynasty." Xu Qin sat there and said to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di stared at Xu Qin, nodded and said, "It seems to be true!"

"Come on, come on, have a drink!" When Xu Qin heard Zhu Di's agreement, he picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Zhu Di's, and drank it in one gulp.

"But you kid are capable and enjoy it? That won't work. You said it yourself. Given our relationship, who will you help if you don't help me?" Zhu Di said to Xu Qin.

Xu Qin rolled his eyes and looked at Zhu Di, but Zhu Di didn't care.

"Anyway, if there is anything in the future, I will come to you!" Zhu Di said happily while looking at Xu Qin. He just liked to see Xu Qin depressed, and he would be happy when Xu Qin was depressed.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Gaochi came in. Zhu Di asked him to sit down and asked, "Have your wife and children been to Kunning Palace?"

"When we go there, let them come in through the back door. We don't dare let them walk through the front yard for fear of scaring the children. Also, I have just notified those military heroes to send the bodies over, and I have also asked someone to apologize on my behalf. Tomorrow morning, I will summon them to the East Palace to discuss the follow-up matters." Zhu Gaochi stood there and said to Zhu Di.

"Sit down and talk first. You don't need to report to me about this kind of thing." Zhu Di continued to hold his hands down and said. Zhu Di would not ask about Zhu Gaochi's handling of such things at all. What does it matter if so few people die now? How many soldiers died in the Jingnan Campaign? All of them were handled by Zhu Gaochi.

Xu Qin poured wine for Zhu Gaochi.

"Boss, drink less. You didn't sleep well last night. Don't drink so much." Zhu Di said to Zhu Gaochi.

"Oh, thank you, Dad!" Zhu Gaochi nodded.

"Just now, Shakyabao said that the Daming Daily will be established in the Third Camp of the Capital. You continue to select people and enrich the Daming Daily. For these people, you can promise that in two years, I will promote them to county magistrates of the lowest seventh rank based on their abilities and merits." Zhu Di said to Zhu Gaochi.

"That's fine, Dad. If that's the case, there will still be military sons willing to go. Although they were assassinated this time, those military sons are not stupid. To their family, being able to get a hereditary thousand households is more important than anything else." Zhu Gaochi nodded immediately after hearing this. As the saying goes, a big reward will attract brave men. "Well, you go and do it? In addition, I want to clean up all the people in the East Palace, no matter who they are, they must be cleaned up, including eunuchs, palace maids, and subordinates. You must make it clear with your wife tomorrow. Only those who are sure to have no problems can stay. Others, as long as there are doubts, must die." Zhu Di said lightly.

"Ah, Dad, if he can prove his innocence, then, then, then there is no need to kill him, right?" Zhu Gaochi said to Zhu Di anxiously.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi and said calmly, "Boss, who do you think set the fire? Who set it? The Eastern Palace is so heavily guarded? Who has the ability to set a fire in the Eastern Palace? If the fire was set in your bedroom, have you ever thought about it?"

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Di in amazement.

"Kill all of these people if they are even slightly suspicious. Even those who are not suspicious need to be screened. If there are any who are even a little worrying, let them leave the East Palace and guard the mausoleum!" Zhu Di said to Zhu Gaochi.

"Yes, Dad!" Zhu Gaochi immediately bowed and said.

"Let's eat first. The matter of the Eastern Palace must be investigated thoroughly. Whoever is involved must die!" Zhu Di said coldly. Zhu Gaochi nodded. Setting fire to the Eastern Palace, what a joke. If not thousands of people will die, how could Zhu Di let them go?

After Xu Qin finished his meal in the palace, he returned to his own residence. His father was waiting for him in the living room. When he saw Xu Qin coming back, he invited him to the study.

"What's the situation in the Eastern Palace? I heard from the servants at home that there was a fire in the Eastern Palace, and dozens of people were burned to death. Was it someone from the Daming Daily?" Xu Huizu asked Xu Qin.

"Yes!" Xu Qin nodded.

"I knew it. These people are so brave. They haven't given up yet. They dare to use any means. Now, the capital is in trouble. By the way, you should not see those civil officials these days. Stay away. Zhu Di will definitely start a killing spree." Xu Huizu sat there and said with a sigh.

They had reminded Zhu Gaochi before, but it still happened and there was nothing they could do.

The next day, Xu Qin had just woken up when Shiyue came over to help him get dressed. She said, "Early this morning, the Jinyiwei and Wucheng Bingmasi were arresting people everywhere. Master, be careful when you go out. Don't cause any trouble. I heard something big happened."

"I know. You don't have to go out either." Xu Qin nodded and said.

"Master, someone is here to see us. It would be better for you to go out the back door later." Shiyue continued to speak to Xu Qin.

"Who is it?" Xu Qin didn't understand the question. What did they mean by coming to his house to ask for a meeting at this time?

"I don't know, but there are quite a few. Some people asked for your help by name, but when I asked around, I found out that you didn't know them, young master. Some people wanted to ask the master and the madam, and some wanted to ask the old lady, but the master didn't see them. The master didn't plan to go out today, so he stayed in the mansion to avoid unnecessary trouble. The madam just came and specifically told us not to go out the front door after you finish your meal." Shiyue said to Xu Qin.

"Well, okay!" Xu Qin nodded. This matter had nothing to do with him. It was something those people wanted to do. However, Xu Qin was also unhappy with Xia Yuanji in his heart. He thought that if Xia Yuanji knew about this and did not stop it, it would be really stupid. But on the other hand, if they wanted to kill those people from the Daming Daily, they could only do it in the East Palace, so that they could be wiped out completely. Otherwise, they would have no chance in other places.

After Xu Qin finished his breakfast, he was about to leave when Xu Jingchang rushed in.

"Brother!" Xu Jingchang came in and shouted with a smile.

Xu Qin frowned, feeling bad, stared at Xu Jingchang and asked, "Today is not the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month, why did you come out?"

"Others asked me for help, so I climbed over the wall." Xu Jingchang sat down with a smile, picked up the food on the table and started eating.

Xu Qin stared at Xu Jingchang, and Xu Jingchang said, "Brother, it's not about the outside world, it's about the workshop."

When Xu Qin heard what Xu Jingchang said, he felt much more relieved.

Xu Jingchang continued, "However, big brother, the military heroes are very dissatisfied with this incident, and they are ready to cause trouble."

Xu Qin immediately stood up, stared at Xu Jingchang and asked, "What are you doing? How come I don't know?"
