The yamen had Xu Da and Tang He overseers, so they naturally worked hard to track down. I thought that the trial would be concluded in a few days, but I didn't expect to run back and forth many times, and even the pile of fallen leaves was checked several times, but I couldn't find any other clues.

At the end of the year, it became like an unsolved case, and the angry Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to dismiss the chief of the yamen for investigation, but fortunately, Ah Xiu persuaded him and punished him as a punishment. Had it not been for someone's chaos many years later, the death of the winter kite would have remained a mystery forever.

After this incident, in order to appease the panicked people in the house, Ah Xiu set up a night patrol system after obtaining Zhu Yuanzhang's approval: in addition to a few janitors and family members who originally kept vigil, each courtyard sent people to take turns according to the head, and those on duty had to be responsible for night inspection and access control.

After a long time, no one mentioned the murder again, but Ye-jin and Qiuqin quarreled every time and occasionally talked about a few words when they quarreled.

At the end of the lunar calendar, Xu Da spread another victory: the entire territory of Chenzhou has been conquered. A few days later, Fu Youde also came with good news, saying that he had conquered Hengzhou. Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, listened to Ah Xiu's opinion, and decided to temporarily suspend the soldiers and horses for the New Year, so he sent an envoy to Dayuan to communicate with Timur of the expansion.

This year's Spring Festival was originally very lively, but when Ah Xiu recalled it many years later, he felt so cold. Because after the Spring Festival this year, until Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, every year when the Spring Festival is celebrated, you will find many faces that were as vivid as the previous year, and they will never appear again.

In the blink of an eye, the Shangyuan Festival passed, and according to the original intention, Zhu Yuanzhang should be ready to leave the palace and go to the barracks. But at this time, Lian'er began to show her belly, and she was always lazy the rest of the time except for talking to Ah Xiu every day.

He was suspicious in his heart, and found Dai Si to diagnose and treat, and heard that although the fetus was stable, Lian'er's body was weak for a day or two, so in addition to eating and recuperating every day, he also needed a man's yang energy to calm down, so he couldn't help but be distracted and decided to stay for a few more days.

A few days later, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly received a secret report, the whole person turned blue after reading the letter, Ah Xiu happened to go to the kitchen to make lunch, Lian'er asked on the side for a while, seeing that he ignored it, and wanted to take the letter to see, but Zhu Yuanzhang who was angry shouted: "What are you doing?!" ”

After drinking, Zhu Yuanzhang was still angry, walked to the window, put his hands into fists, and was silent angrily. Lian'er was shocked, for so many years, he had never been so angry in front of him, and even if he was angry, he always treated himself differently from others.

In this panic and anger in her heart, Lian'er felt a sudden cramping pain in her stomach, and her heart suddenly sank: although she had never given birth, she knew that such pain was extraordinary, and she was afraid that it was a sign of a slippery tire.

But for a while, the pain struck, and the prince was in anger again, she couldn't speak, let alone find someone to look for herself, so she had to go to the edge of the bed and sit down, cold sweat flowed, and her body was shaking. When Ah Xiu came back, it was too late.

After sending Mr. Dai away, Lian'er was still unconscious, and Ah Xiu, who had never been angry, drove away all the people in the house and scolded Zhu Yuanzhang for the first time: "Yuanzhang! I've never been so sad, and I've never seen you so kind! Lian'er has been having this child for so many years, how difficult it is to have this child, and you have buried the hope of her and me like this! Did you know it was a formed boy?! You're so ruthless! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say a word, he was as violent as fire, in front of Ah Xiu, after all, he had scruples, Ah Xiu was his wife, Lian'er's miscarriage, although he said that it was an unintentional mistake, but it really hurt Ah Xiu's heart, so that her efforts all the time were in vain.

Looking at Ah Xiu, who was crying, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "Ah Xiu, I know that you are bitter in your heart, but I am even more bitter in my heart." Ah Xiu looked at him angrily, and her tears did not stop: "Are you bitter? Do you understand the hardship of a mother who lost her son? What kind of letter made you so angry that even the pregnant Lian'er had to scold! ”

"Ah Xiu, do you know? Wenzheng has already colluded with Zhang Shicheng and is ready to send troops to fight me. Zhu Yuanzhang burst into tears and sighed gloomily, "I have also been betrayed before, three years ago, Shao Rong and Zhao Jizu tried to kill me, but fortunately they were denounced by their subordinates, so they did not succeed." ”

"I put them to death and abandoned the city, just to make an example of them. But in less than a year, when he was about to fight Chen Youliang, Xie Zaixing actually rebelled! It was the heavens that had eyes to let me get out of danger again and suppress the rebellion. ”

Ah Xiu didn't know why he was angry before, but when he heard this, he suddenly felt bitter in his heart: What should come must come eventually, it seems that Zhu Wenzheng has finally rebelled. She wanted to say something to comfort her husband, but she didn't know where to start, after all, she was the first to know the inside story, and she was the one who didn't know about it, but she killed Lian'er's child by mistake, is this fate?

"But I really can't figure out how Wen Zheng will betray me like them! I'm so uncomfortable with a cat scratch in my heart! Although I didn't raise him since I was a child, in the end he is my own nephew, and he has the highest hopes among my most trusted sons, and even he betrays me, why! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang finally slipped a tear on his cheek, but he was thrown away with his hand in disgust: "It turns out that although this world is big, the people who can be trusted and entrusted are so pitiful!" I misjudged him, it's ridiculous! After speaking, it seemed to be talking to himself, and it was like asking Ah Xiu, "Sue me, who else can I trust?!" ”

Ah Xiu saw him turn his back, the clenched fist in his right hand, uninhibited and faintly shaking, and really wanted to say: It's not that you misread him, it's just that the official position, interests and greed make people degenerate, so that others will never be able to see through and figure it out.

Zhu Yuanzhang now has all the land south of the Yangtze River, and Wen Zheng defended Hongdu for him for two months in the year, but he was only crowned a governor. At that time, he was unwilling to know whether he was unwilling at that time, but in the past year, it has been an indisputable fact that he indulged in lust and amassed wealth to form a party.

Do you want to watch Zhu Yuanzhang kill his relatives in righteousness? Ah Xiu asked herself, and she also wanted to ask the heavens, but in the end she just quietly looked at his back and said, "Yuanzhang, do you really believe that the informant wants to kill Wen Zheng?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around, didn't speak for a long time, and finally looked at her quietly as if he had made up his mind: "I want to ask him personally." Ah Xiu, you spent no less effort on him than I did, are you willing to go with me to ask him at this time? ”

"If the prince is willing to listen to Kenken's question, why am I not willing to ask the child together? For so many years, I have believed that the child's heart is good, and I hope that before I ask him again, the prince can believe him as he did at the beginning. After all, he is your relative, and he is in the same blood as you. (To be continued.) )
