Chapter 93 Great Favors Become Great Revenges

"One, two, three... ten..."

"Didn't you eat? Start over again." Rosen snorted coldly.

He just stood by and watched the bailiffs carry out the execution.

The yamen runners had to increase their force. They beat people with sticks every day and had long since mastered the technique of beating people with sticks.

Some boards may sound noisy, but they actually don't hurt at all.

But how could their methods be hidden from Rosen's eyes?

"One, two..."

"Ah...ah..." Zhu Gaoxu screamed.

After being beaten with a hundred boards, Zhu Gaoxu was already dying, almost fainted, and lying on the ground with his eyes rolled back.

An ordinary person would be seriously injured if hit by thirty strokes of the stick. Although Zhu Gaoxu was physically strong, he could not withstand a hundred strokes of the stick.

……

"Your Majesty, something happened...something happened..." Ji Gang hurried to Zhu Di.

"What happened?" Zhu Di had never seen Ji Gang so panicked.

"King of Han...King of Han was severely injured. Zhu Mingqing, the head of the Imperial Clan Bureau, had one arm and one ear chopped off. He is also seriously injured and on the verge of death."

Zhu Di showed a look of shock on his face: "Who did this?"

"Luo Ming's biological father, Luo Sen."

Zhu Di couldn't contain his anger: "Why?"

"This……"

"Say!"

"The King of Han molested Luo Sen's daughter Luo Mingyue on the street, and then he was not able to beat Luo Mingyue, so he was angry and arrested Luo Mingyue and took her to the clan house."

"and then?"

"Then Rosen came and took out a piece of iron scroll of immunity from death, saying that if the clan government could not give a fair verdict today, he would massacre the clan government, and at worst he would exchange it for this piece of iron scroll of immunity from death."

Zhu Di was so angry that he was fuming. Prince of Han Zhu Gaoxu was his favorite son.

But now he was beaten half to death by Rosen.

But he just couldn't find any trouble with Rosen.

Rosen was right, and it was he who gave the iron scroll of immunity from death.

The most important thing is that his son, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and was the most brave and skilled in fighting, had never even beaten a little girl and had even made a scene at the clan house. It would not sound good if this matter got out.

"Keep this matter under wraps."

"Your Majesty, the royal family is now at loggerheads, and they all ask you to give them justice."

"Let them all go." Zhu Di said calmly.

"But……"

"Don't you understand what I said?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

No matter how fiercely the royal family members cause trouble, they are just tigers without claws and teeth.

At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he still needed the royal family to justify his throne.

But now everything has stabilized, so the royal family is no longer necessary.

Although Zhu Di did not massacre the royal family, he could deal with a few disobedient ones with just a few words.

……

Zhu Di still went to Luo's house and found Rosen fishing by the lake.

"Lao Luo, you don't seem to be afraid at all. You killed the prince. What crime should you be punished for?"

Rosen raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhu Di: "So you are here to call for justice?"

"You don't have the nerve to do that." Zhu Di said unhappily, "It's fine if you don't allow your daughter to learn embroidery, but why do you let her learn martial arts?"

"Who says that women have to do these things? My daughter, Rosen, can do whatever she wants and learn whatever she wants."

"How can such a fierce woman find a good family in the future?"

"Everyone has their own preferences. Besides, if my daughter likes a certain family, he can't refuse her." Rosen said confidently: "If she doesn't find a husband in this life, will she live worse than others?"

"You don't have such a broad mind towards your son. You even want to destroy his success. But you are so doting on your daughter. Why is that?"

"Because I know he is wrong. What does temporary fame mean? If I want to, I can do better than him anytime and anywhere."

Zhu Di did not believe Rosen's arrogant words.

After all, whether Rosen can become an official is up to him.

"Then are you willing to make him hate you for the rest of his life?"

"It's better than losing your life."

"With your means, it won't be difficult to protect him."

"Besides because of him, I also think you are a better emperor than Zhu Yunwen."

Zhu Di was particularly pleased with Rosen's words. After all, this was the highest compliment to him.

He didn't say it, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"How about you and I become relatives?"

"No, everyone in your family is ugly, and you are not my daughter."

Zhu Di's good mood just because of Rosen's words that he was better than Zhu Yunwen disappeared in an instant.

"What did you say? How dare you insult my royal family!"

"What does it matter? Your sons are no match for my precious daughter."

Zhu Di's fists hardened and he stood up to leave.

Rosen added: "Sell me another death-free iron scroll."

"Don't you think it's undesirable?"

"I suddenly realized that it was quite useful. Every now and then I could beat up Zhu Gaoxu and then throw the death-free iron scroll in his face."

"You're asking me for the death-proof iron scroll, and then you want to beat my son? You don't even take me seriously."

"I will give you a process for making white sugar. If you can't make one million taels in three years, I will return the Death-Free Iron Scroll to you."

hiss--

Zhu Di immediately put away his angry expression. He knew the price of sugar. Even he, the emperor, could not eat it every day.

"The death-free iron scroll will be delivered to your house this afternoon... Gao Xu is seriously injured and can't get out of bed for a month."

"Well, I'll try to make sure he can't get out of bed for three months next time."

Zhu Di's face darkened, but considering Rosen's sugar craftsmanship, he still felt that it was no big deal for the boy to knock around.

……

"Ah..."

Zhu Gaoxu screamed in pain. The imperial physician had just applied medicine to him. At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't even pull up his pants. Even if a strand of hair fell on his buttocks, he would feel as painful as a needle pricking him.

At this moment, the eldest brother Zhu Gaochi and the third brother Zhu Gaosui were coming to visit him in a group.

"Rosen, I want you to die! I want your whole family to die miserably!" Zhu Gaoxu cursed angrily.

"Second brother, I heard that you have never even beaten a little girl on the street." Zhu Gaosui teased.

"Ahhh... Boss, you have to avenge me." Zhu Gaochi had never met Rosen. When Zhu Di invaded Yingtian Prefecture, he was still in charge of the overall situation in Shuntian Prefecture.

Seeing his brother being beaten like this, he felt sorry for Zhu Gaoxu.

"Third brother, who exactly is this Rosen? How dare he be so unscrupulous and lawless, he simply doesn't even take our royal family into consideration." Zhu Gaochi asked.

"I don't know, I only know that this man is extremely arrogant..." Zhu Gaosui recounted what happened after he entered the Forbidden City a few years ago.

Zhu Gaochi was lost in thought, unlike Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaoxu who were impulsive and irritable.

Zhu Gaochi was obviously more rational, and he heard something else from Zhu Gaosui's words.

His own father, the man sitting on the dragon throne, respected Rosen.

There were not many people in Zhu Di's life who could listen to what others said.

Their mother Xu Miaoyun is one of them.

The monk in black is one of them.

He counts himself as half, but as for Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaoxu, their words are like farts in Zhu Di's ears.

However, Zhu Di was also an extremely strong person.

Zhu Di could beat his son himself, but he would never allow anyone else to beat his son.

So that person was obviously not as simple as Zhu Gaosui said, that he was the father of Zhu Yunwen's close minister.

If it were that simple, Zhu Di would have chopped the other person to pieces long ago.

After all, there were quite a few people that Zhu Di had to settle accounts with before and after he ascended the throne.

However, Luo Ming, a close minister of Zhu Yunwen, did not suffer any purge. Even being demoted from his official position did not count as a purge.

Zhu Gaochi thought about it and decided to go find someone to ask clearly before making any plans.

His mother still doesn't know that Zhu Gaoxu is seriously injured, and his father obviously doesn't want his mother to know about this, fearing that she will worry about it, so he can only go to Yao Guangxiao to discuss it.

Although Yao Guangxiao has achieved success, he did not serve as an official in the court. Instead, he served as the Prince's Tutor and is now considered Zhu Gaochi's aide.

"Don't do anything about this for now. Let me first understand the situation and then make plans."

Zhu Gaochi returned to the Prince's Mansion and summoned Yao Guangxiao.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Master Yao, please don't be polite. Please take a seat."

After Yao Guangxiao sat down, Zhu Gaochi went straight to the point: "Master Yao, do you know this person named Luo Sen?"

"Your Highness, where did you hear this man's name?" Yao Guangxiao showed a hint of surprise on his face.

In order to keep it secret, the only people who knew about Rosen's affairs were Zhu Di, Xu Miaoyun and him.

After all, if this matter were to leak out, Rosen, who was in Yingtian Prefecture, would surely die.

Rosen helped Zhu Di many times in his cause, but after great kindness came great hatred. The power shown by Rosen also made Zhu Di wary of Rosen, fearing that Rosen would support other people in the future, so he kept Rosen under surveillance and even refused to tell his own son.

Zhu Gaochi recounted what Zhu Gaoxu had encountered today.

Yao Guangxiao stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "This may not be a bad thing."

"Master Yao, what does this mean?"

"The Second Prince is arrogant and domineering. He usually relies on the emperor's favor and intends to seize the throne, but now it is impossible."

"Master Yao, can that Rosen get away with beating up Gao Xu?"

"From a just perspective, the Second Prince was at fault first. He has the Iron Scroll of Immunity in his hand. From a private perspective, Mr. Luo saved your Majesty's life. Even if your Majesty is stupid, you will not kill Mr. Luo."

Yao Guangxiao's words made Zhu Gaochi gasp and even feel a little scared.

Fortunately, I didn't help my brother.

Saving a life is definitely an enormous achievement.

As long as that person does not plot treason, you can rest assured.

What's more, Zhu Gaoxu was indeed not in the right in this matter.

"Since I have done a great favor to my father, I must also show my gratitude."

"No, Your Highness. A great favor is a great hatred. Moreover, that person has extraordinary means and can change the world. If you come into contact with him, I'm afraid His Majesty will be suspicious."

Zhu Gaochi's face changed drastically. What Yao Guangxiao said was really too big.

It has the power to change the world!

Zhu Gaochi then thought about how when his father started the rebellion, there was inexplicably so much money and food, as well as mountains of meat.

Zhu Gaochi was very smart and immediately thought of the many things in the past.

"I understand."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise." Yao Guangxiao nodded with a smile.

This matter passed quietly under the suppression of those who had ulterior motives.

Zhu Gaoxu finally recovered from his injuries and stayed in bed for a month. Before he could take revenge, he received Zhu Di's imperial edict, ordering him to report to the city defense camp immediately.

Zhu Gaoxu looked unhappy. Forget it. He would go report first and then settle the score with that old bastard.
