When Zhu woke up, he only heard a squeak of a race, like something gnawing on wood, and there was a buzzing sound in his ears, so he couldn't sleep peacefully, so he had to wake up with his eyes open, but the next moment, when he saw the scene in front of him, he almost immediately screamed??? ? Huoran? Wen?? ???．? ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? ｅ?ｎａ`ｃｏｍ

A huge rat was swaggering in front of his eyes, devouring a piece of broken wood on the straw, and the broken wood still emitted a foul smell, which made Zhu Ji want to gag.

He looked around and found himself in a dark and damp dungeon, and in horror he exclaimed, "Someone! Someone's coming! ”

He shouted several times in a row, but he didn't call anyone, but instead made his already weak body more and more tired.

"Eh, I said you better save some effort, and someone will naturally interrogate you in a few days." On one side of the cell, someone suddenly sneered and ridiculed his fuss.

Zhu Da was shocked, turned his head to look at the source of the sound, in the dim dungeon, only the tung oil lamps were lit on both sides of the wall, and the person was hidden in the corner, so he didn't even find that there was anyone in the corner.

"You, who are you?" It was as if he suddenly saw a ghost hidden in the night, and Zhu's heart was shocked.

"Zhu Juma doesn't even recognize me?" The man sneered lightly and slowly walked out of the darkness, startling Zhu when his pale face was revealed.

"You! You! You, you! Zhu opened his mouth in surprise and looked at the person who came in a lost voice, "Zhu Youming?" How did you end up here? ”

Zhu Youming is a very famous student in Lishan Academy, and is also Zhu's cousin, belonging to the side branch of the Zhu family, he listened to Zhu's words and left Lishan Academy as early as when the three princes were in power, and went to Wanzhou City to spread the news about the three princes killing the king, according to Zhu's prediction, Zhu Youming should unite the local scholars in Wanzhou City to resist the rule of the three princes.

"How did I end up here? Zhu Juma's question is really ridiculous! Zhu Youming sneered again and again, "Zhu Youma sent me to Wanzhou City, but he didn't tell me in advance, Wanzhou City is already the world of the three princes, you and I are still cousins, this deep friendship, I Zhu Youming keep it in mind!" ”

Zhu was dumbfounded, "How is it possible!" How could Wanzhou City be the world of the Three Princes? Wanzhou belongs to Nanzhili, even if it is still some distance from the rich Jiangnan, it has always been with ......"

"You don't have to argue anymore, it's me Zhu You who doesn't know people clearly, and I easily listened to your nonsense, and now I deserve to end up like this, but you Zhu is not much better!" Zhu Youming smiled and glanced at Zhu up and down, and the malice in his eyes was vividly expressed.

The major affairs in the Zhu family have always been handled by the branch of Wenchanghou, and Zhu Youming's side branch can't even insert half a sentence, so he has long been indignant and dissatisfied with Zhu's lineage, in Wanzhou City, he is also deliberately tied up and waiting to be killed, not for the side, just to be able to fight for a light crime, his reputation is still there, he doesn't want to be a scapegoat.

Zhu was uneasy, and at this time, the jailer held a bunch of keys and walked with heavy steps, the keys shook in his hand, making a ding-dong sound, in Zhu's ears, but it seemed to be a talisman.

He winced as the jailer opened the door and entered, followed by an old man with a gray beard, who almost rolled his eyes and fainted.

"Why have you been raising it for two days, and you're still so weak?" The old man took out a row of slender silver needles from the wooden box he was carrying on one side, and was a little dissatisfied with Zhu Yao's dizzy appearance.

Zhu was willing to be stabbed, and almost immediately jumped up, shrank back to a distance of three people, and stared at him defensively.

"Eh, I mean, isn't that quite cheerful?" The old man took the silver needle and raised his eyebrows, "Since it's okay, I'll go back to the hospital, those new rabbit cubs are very skinny, not good at training, I'm afraid that I will cause big trouble in the future!" ”

The jailer hurriedly nodded and sent the old man away, turning his head to look at Zhu without a good face.

"This lord, let's go! It's been these days, and we adults who have been delayed can't do anything, so we have to close your case! ”

Zhu trembled, and he was extremely vigilant: "You, where are you going to take me?" Don't come nonsense, I can warn you, I am the champion of the previous subject, and I am the mother and nephew of the Queen Mother, if you are ......"

"Hey! I said you're still shaking with your grandfather here? The jailer impatiently kicked him on the buttocks, almost knocking him to the ground, "Are you still a relative of the emperor?" Phew! It's just a rebel who is a rebel, even if the Queen Mother is here, she will spit on you, so you will shake your majesty here with your brothers, and you have the ability to shake it to Prince An! I can't look at your skin! ”

The scolding words were passed to Zhu along with the jailer's rough attitude, making him almost fall to his knees with weak legs, feeling that this jailer did not know his identity, but because the person who arrested him had already convicted him, he would be so ruthless.

He stumbled and stumbled, and a huge sense of fear rose in his heart, a feeling he had never felt before, which made his whole person like a frightened bird.

When he arrived in front of Feng Xuzhao, Feng Xuzhao did not interrogate him, but in front of him, he passed the punishment of several people who were arrested with him, listening to the wails of those people, Zhu couldn't help but tremble a little, and then trembled, and finally developed into those people who had no strength to howl, and Zhu still trembled to himself, like a patient suffering from epilepsy.

After watching him for three days in a row, Zhu fell ill in prison, and this illness was even more violent than the previous illness, and almost that night, Zhu became unconscious, even if the jailer could not pour medicine.

After Chu Shaoyuan found out, he glanced at Feng Xu Zhao coldly: "You can interrogate people, he is not a bold person, but now he is good." ”

"The minister is guilty!" Feng Xuzhao didn't dare to argue, and fell to his knees without saying a word.

In this case, Chu Shaoyuan was not easy to convict Feng Xu of any crime, he let out a long sigh, quite helpless, "How is it also the mother of the queen mother's family, mixed in this kind of rebellious thing, it is always not good in reputation, since he is seriously ill, let him go, just take out the Zhu family, you can't go as soon as your father goes, this king can't even keep his father's uncle's family, it's too unreasonable to say it." ”

Feng Xuzhao's eyes sank, a glimmer of light crossed his drooping eyes, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he nodded in response: "What the prince said is, the minister will do it!" ”

Within a few days, on the day of Lidong, the eldest son of the Zhu family, who inherited the Marquis of Wenchang, died in prison due to illness at the age of 20.

And in the Zhu family's Lishan Academy, because someone provoked a hindrance, the aspiring students did not want to serve the court, but caused turmoil, and the matter was also investigated, and the culprit pointed directly to the four princes, Ye Yijunwang.

When the four princes stationed outside Wanzhou City received the news, the whole person was in a state of rage, not only tore the letter in half, but also kicked the messenger to the ground, and kicked more than ten feet in a row to relieve his anger.

"What happened to Wang Xingzhi? He's been sneaking in for four or five days, so he can't even find the guard's home, right? "When the four princes couldn't deal with the accusations in Yunfu City, they had to grasp the matter in front of them, as long as he could take Wanzhou City, he would have the opportunity to attack Yunzhou, seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, how could the four princes be reconciled.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, he has not delivered any news, I'm afraid it's ......" The subordinates endured the pain and replied timidly, considering which word to use to express it would make the four princes less angry.

But the fourth prince couldn't listen to the assumptions the most, so he immediately raised his foot and kicked his subordinates, "Even a slave like you who is not a thing dares to speculate!" This king doesn't let you know that you know that it is powerful, and you can't understand that this king is destiny! ”

The four princes tossed their subordinates over and over again, but the king of the box was blocked all the way, he had been in the city for several days, except for the previous one or two days to find out the route, these two days were clearly sneaked in, but who knew that there were twenty or thirty Yan Yunwei stationed in the guard's home, each of them had a unique skill, he watched those people patrol the night in twos and threes, calculated the gap between the two sides, and felt that this matter would definitely suffer if he acted rashly, so he had to lie dormant.

He knew from the side that these Yan Yunwei were coming to Wanzhou City to protect the soldiers defending the city for Prince An, and they were also the soldiers guarding the city for Prince An.

After several hesitations, he finally thought of another way, which was to directly kidnap the father of Prince An's mother and concubine, and then use this person to achieve his own goals.

Originally, everything went very smoothly, but just when he was about to start, this Yan Baihu suddenly went to the guard's house as if he was aware of it, and Wang Xingzhi, who was in a hurry, fell out one by one, and was at a loss.

If the assassination cannot be completed in one day, there will be a risk of being exposed one day, Wang Xingzhi finally waited for Yan Baihu to come out of the guard's house, regardless of whether it would be exposed, he directly took people away and sent a letter to the guard, if he didn't open the city gate, he was afraid that Yan Baihu's head would have to move.

The guard who received the letterhead almost crushed the back molars, and his heart of regret now was like suffering like eating three catties of Coptis chinensis, he knew that this adult would be targeted, and he would not let people go back anyway, but it was just such an inch, it was too late to send a letter to Chu Shaoyuan and wait for a reply, and he swore to resist to the end It depends on who the hostage is, and in desperation, he had to agree to this threat.

Although the four princes did not spend a soldier to enter Wanzhou City, but because they hated the hard work of being locked up in the wind and sleeping outside for a few days, after entering the city, they slaughtered the generals who defended the city, and even the people in the city also suffered, because of the soldiers outside the city, the soldiers lacked the supply of food and grass, resulting in the soldiers entering the city and directly plundered the grain of the people in the city, and the yamen of Wanzhou City was also set on fire and burned clean, and even the prefect, including the clerk, and the small officials were burned to death in Wanzhou City. For a time, Wanzhou City was like hell on earth.

When Wang Xingzhi brought Yan Baihu to the four princes, he was faintly dissatisfied with the actions of the four princes, but he did not show it, and only told the four princes the identity of Yan Baihu, "My subordinates feel that this person can make good use of it, I heard that Prince An is extremely protective, if he can use this person to threaten him, he will get twice the result with half the effort." ”

The fourth prince originally wanted to kill this old man who was over sixty years old, but after listening to Wang Xingzhi's words, the idea turned in his mind, and he immediately nodded in agreement, and ordered: "Take care of this person, don't let anything happen to him, this king wants to let the traitor take a good look, what will happen to the people who follow him!" ”

"Phew! You're the traitor! You unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous brute! In vain for the Son of Man, in vain to read the books of the sages! "Yan Baihu single name a word, this is a military family, should be outstanding military achievements and all the way to the military squire, more than ten years ago when his daughter has not entered the palace, he has a brave name, but after the daughter's thing came out, he was relegated to his hometown because he was not willing to fall into the partisan dispute, defeat and was relegated to his hometown, so that he was depressed for more than ten years, this time was captured by Wang Xingzhi's tricks, the anger in his heart can be imagined, and he scolded the four princes without words, and scolded what was ugly.

The fourth prince's face was ugly as if he had swallowed ten catties of dung, and he raised his hand to lose his face, but Wang Xingzhi hurriedly stopped him.

"The prince is angry, the prince and think about the identity of this person, if he is the same as the general of the Futai Lord guarding the city, he will kill him, and it is not necessary, but once this person dies, I am afraid that Prince An will not give up, and the army that can be dispatched in his hands does not need to be less than the prince's! And after this person died, there was nothing to balance Prince An! ”

Under such persuasion, the anger of the four princes was persuaded to disappear a little, and he no longer paid attention to Yan Zhen's insults, raised his hand to hand over the person to his subordinates, and locked him up.

Night fell, Wang Xingzhi and the four princes had a full meal in the old house of the guard, taking advantage of the night, the two climbed the city wall of Wanzhou City, looking at the night view of Wanzhou City from afar, at this moment Wanzhou City because of the Yamen fire, a large area of houses on both sides of the house was burned, the fire was so strong that it burned for a day before it was about to be extinguished, looking at a piece of broken bricks and tiles, Wang Xingzhi listened to the wailing cry not far from the city wall, and for the first time felt guilty and uneasy in his heart.

He looked into the distance with a serious expression, frowned between his eyebrows, and blurted out a question: "The prince slaughtered the guards, how did he even burn the yamen of Wanzhou City?" In the future, if the yamen of Wanzhou City is to be repaired, don't you have to ask for the approval of the prince? ”

"Those who achieve great things are not informal!" The fourth prince raised his eyebrows, and only said such a sentence after a while, he would never admit it, it was because he couldn't surrender, so he made this decision.
