As soon as Zhao Jue heard about this, his face changed. If the ancestors of the Zhao family really saved the prince, then maybe they used the ships of this Western caravan to send the prince to Nanjing. After all, compared with taking inland rivers, there are many fewer checkpoints along the road, and it can also avoid people's eyes and ears, not to mention, who would have thought that the prince would hide on the ship of Westerners?

If the prince went to Nanjing by boat, then there was still room for maneuver, because General Nanjing also had a little friendship with Hong Wencheng, maybe he could persuade the other party to stand on King Ying's side?

Zhao Jue hurried to Nanhui Port to confirm the situation, but after asking many people, he couldn't ask whether the prince really got on the Westerners' sea ship here. He could only rush to Fengxian to ask the party Zhang's ancestors and grandchildren, and then he learned that Zhang took his grandchildren and granddaughters to his maiden brother in Songjiang City, and he had not come back yet, so he had to run to Songjiang City again.

The Zhang family had a very happy time in Zhang's house, and when they saw Zhao Jue coming, there was nothing unusual at all. She first talked about Zhao Ze's injury, although he was already sober, but he refused to speak, and refused to say who beat him, and asked him if he Lao Tzu beat him like this, and he did not deny it. The Zhang family blamed Zhao Jue, and it was not a loving father who was so cruel to his eldest son. Seeing her like this, Zhao Jue didn't want to ask her directly if she had saved the prince, in case she didn't know about it, wouldn't it be a confession of the good things he had done?

He asked about his son's injuries twice, and knowing that his son had not divulged anything, he left in a hurry. He had to send someone to Nanjing to find out if the prince had already arrived there and what the attitude of General Nanjing was.

He didn't hear anything in Nanjing, and the Nanjing general was as usual. Seeing him, he asked how the prince's injuries were, and he didn't seem to know that the prince was not recuperating in the Jiading Palace. After Zhao Jue thought about it carefully, he realized that something was wrong: even General Nanjing was a person who had a good deal with Hong Wen. will also care about the safety of the prince, since the Zhang family is the prince's party, how can he not ask a word when the whole Shanghai government knows that the prince is injured? And her pair of grandchildren, where did they go?

Zhao Jue immediately rushed back to Songjiang City, but he pounced. Zhang's younger brother Zhang Chaoyi told him, and Zhang took Zhao Ze back to Fengxian's old mansion. Stay good. He came here and ran, which is obviously a problem!

The magistrate of Songjiang City is not in the line of King Ying, and the Zhang family is a big local family. With several famous families who have been eunuchs for generations, Zhao Jue didn't dare to do anything to Zhang Chaoyi, so he could only rush to Fengxian depressedly, and at the same time send someone to inform Hong Wencheng of the news. It is pointed out that the crown prince is likely to have fled to Nanjing.

Zhang took Zhao Ze back to Fengxian. First, he was worried that Zhao Jue would come to her again to ask questions, second, that Chinese New Year's Eve was approaching, and that someone in the second room needed to attend the ancestor worship ceremony, and third, he felt that his hometown was inhabited by clansmen, and even if Zhao Jue was mad, he did not dare to openly kill and injure the clansmen, which was not good for her, otherwise his bloodline would never want to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. When he died, he was also a wandering ghost, and his children and grandchildren were despised. Even if the monarch is changed. He couldn't turn over either.

But she didn't expect that after returning to the old mansion, Zhao Ze, who had always been honest, would find a way to contact Aunt Liu in the sect next door, find a few servants he had left in the rented mansion, and ask them to send a letter to Zhao Jue.

When the prince and Gao Zhen were hiding on the boat, although Zhao Ze was unconscious, he was conscious, but he couldn't open his eyes, he knew that the ancestors of the Zhang family had saved these two people, and he also knew that his father was involved in the rebellion and had always wanted to catch them. Now that the days are counted, twenty days have passed, and if the prince and them go all the way, I am afraid that they are almost in the capital, and even if my father sends a fast horse to chase after them, it will be too late. And although he resented his father, after all, he was a son of man, and he couldn't bear to see his father's head in a different place. And what he could do at this time was to send a letter to his father, and let his father flee quickly while the order had not been issued.

When Zhao Jue saw the letter, he knew that the prince's uncle and nephew did not go to Nanjing, but went directly to Beijing by sea.

At this time, Hong Wencheng learned that it was the ancestors of the Zhao family who saved the prince's uncle and nephew, or in the name of Zhao Jue to avoid the interrogation, Zhao Jue even got on someone's boat, but he didn't catch anyone, so he was angry at that time, and he wanted to punish Zhao Jue's military stick, in fact, he wanted to take his life to get angry.

Zhao Jue fled in a hurry, but where could he escape? King Ying is obviously annoyed with him, even if the usurpation is successful, he will not be able to get well, and he has been on the boat of the ancestors of the Zhang family, which means that the prince has been called an anti-party, and it is too late to rebel at this time. No matter how he chooses, it is a dead end, and restoring his former scenery identity is simply delusional.

After thinking about it, the more he thought about it, the more desperate he became, feeling that this qiē was all because the ancestors of the Zhang family saved the prince and deceived his relationship through Zhao Ze, and he would end up in today's situation, all of which were harmed by them! Under a moment of resentment, he ran to Fengxian, wanting to find the ancestors and grandsons of the Zhang family.

And this day happened to be Chinese New Year's Eve. The people of the Zhao clan gathered in the ancestral hall to hold a ceremony to worship their ancestors.

Zhao Ze was not qualified to participate in the ceremony, he could only stand outside the ancestral hall with his injuries, watching the crowd from a distance, and he was saddened alone.

When Zhao Jue rode over with red eyes and a wolf in his body, Zhao Ze was the first to discover who he was.

Seeing his father's appearance as if he was going crazy, Zhao Ze had a bad intuition, so he immediately rushed forward and stopped the other party: "Father, why did you come?" Didn't you hear from me? Saying that, he was in a hurry, and it would be too late for Daddy to run again!

"Get out of the way!" Zhao Jue glared at his son viciously, "If it weren't for you, how could I be deceived?!" "Even if his son told him the truth, he couldn't stop the resentment in his heart, if his son hadn't been on that ship at the time, he would have caught the prince a long time ago!

Zhao Ze's eyes were red, and he knelt down and hugged his father's thighs tightly: "Father, please be sober, what are you doing here?" You are guilty of a great rebellion, and if you lose, you can only be willing to lose. What good is it to continue to work for the tiger in addition to increasing one's own sins? Now that the order has not been issued, you should flee quickly. It is better to live than to die. Kyori's grandmother, mother, younger sisters and younger brothers are afraid that it will be too late to save them. The son will do his best to protect them, but if he can't, it's a big deal...... Die with them! Son, please. Don't be confused, what are you here for tonight? Is it true that you have to do things perfectly? Even if you don't care about your own life or death, you have to think about your younger brothers and sisters! ”

Zhao Jue was so angry that he desperately tried to break free from his son, but Zhao Ze held on to him, and the scene was frozen for a while. At this time, the people around the ancestral hall also noticed the movement on their side, and someone soon reported it. Master Zongfang Yu ran out with his son Zhao Jing, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Zhao Jue's crazy appearance. hurriedly ordered his family to stop him. But thinking that Zhao Jue was an official, they didn't dare to use any tough means, for fear of hurting him.

Zhang walked out of the courtyard of the sect and glanced at Zhao Jue calmly. said to Zhao Jing: "It's okay. What does it matter if you let the people below bind him, and now he is a rebel and sinner, and he will not live for a few days, and he will sin against him in death? Even if you beat him to death today, no one will hold you accountable. ”

The father and son of Zongfang were shocked when they said this, and the other Zhao clansmen who rushed over when they heard the news were also very surprised, and Zhao Jue listened. I was even more convinced that I was tricked by Zhang's that day, and shouted: "The poisonous woman harmed me!" So he struggled desperately to rush up and beat someone. It's a pity that he was hugged by his son. He hit his son's back like crazy, so that Zhao Ze vomited blood, and refused to let go of his thighs, and finally it was the men of the Zhao family who hugged him with their slaves and tied him up, and then Dongsheng, the son of the pearl sister-in-law, came out of the group of male servants and knocked him unconscious with a stick on the back of the head.

The ancestor worship ceremony on Chinese New Year's Eve was interrupted, which was a big event, but it was nothing compared to the former clansmen participating in the rebellion. The whole Zhao clan is glad that Zhao Jue was expelled from the clan early in the first place, otherwise his case would have been reported today, and the crime of rebellion would have been punished by the nine clans! Aren't they, the innocent and implicated, who have done nothing, lose their lives and lose their lives? Fortunately, he drew a line with Zhao Jue early, and everyone saved their lives.

Thinking about it this way, the clansmen were even more grateful to the old lady Zhang in the second room.

Zhang calmly accepted everyone's gratitude, and she ordered people to ask a doctor for Zhao Ze to treat his injuries. Zhao Ze can be said to have aggravated his injuries in order to prevent his father from hurting her. Although this child has a stain and is stubborn, but after getting along for a long time, you can find that his nature is not bad, and killing his brother when he was a child is probably just a child who is not sensible, but it has caused the consequences of being strict. At this time, seeing Zhao Ze injured for her, Zhang's mood was very complicated. Although Zhao Ze did not participate in the rebellion, and even because he found out the news of the rebellion, he was almost killed by his own father, and indirectly rescued the prince and the prince of Guangping, but as the eldest son of Zhao Jueyan, he was destined to have no good end.

All Zhang can do is to let the doctor heal his injuries, and the rest will have to wait for the king in Beijing to give an order. Before the government came to arrest the rebels, the Zhao clan did not mind acting as jailers for a few days.

However, after Zhao Jue went crazy, he woke up from the coma and regained his composure. He was locked up in a hut in the backyard of the ancestral hall, dressed as a wolf, with a small bloody wound on his head. At that time, it was already the first day of the Lunar New Year, and he listened to the sound of firecrackers and laughter outside, stared at the wall for a long time, and suddenly asked to see the people in the second room.

The Zhang family was not interested in seeing him, so he had to ask to see the people of the sect instead.

Zhao Jing went to see him, and then went to the second room to tell the Zhang family that Zhao Jue intended to make meritorious service in exchange for a reduced sentence, and wanted to ask the clansmen to help. Zhao Jing was actually reluctant to admit the identity of "clansman", but he became interested in his words and wanted to ask what the Zhang family meant.

Zhang said: "In this case, today I will send someone to the yamen of the governor of Jiangsu to report the news." She didn't care about everything when she returned to her mother's house in Songjiang City, she had been paying close attention to the situation in the outside world, and she was also secretly inquiring among various famous families. After her observation for several days, she also knew which officials in the Jiangnan area had collusion with King Ying and Hong Wencheng, and which officials were innocent. Hong Wencheng's people searched everywhere for the whereabouts of the prince, but they did not dare to openly approach Suzhou, which was a stone's throw away, perhaps sending someone to make an unannounced visit, but it was enough to explain something. This governor must be reliable. The governor was in charge of the military and political affairs of a province, and he still had military power in his hands, if he had known that he was reliable, the prince would not have had to risk going north by sea, and could go directly to Suzhou for help.

Suzhou, where the yamen of the governor of Jiangsu is located, is not far from Fengxian, and three days later, the lord came over with a team of soldiers and horses, just in time for a group of assassins who came to assassinate Zhao Jue. It turned out that it was Hong Wencheng's men who were chasing Zhao Jue who heard about his trouble in front of the Zhao family's ancestral hall, and knew that he was locked up, so they rushed to kill him for fear of revealing secrets.

This assassination also directly opened Zhao Jue's mouth, he did not hide anything in front of the governor of Jiangsu, and directly recruited the party henchmen, layout and training of the Ying Wangfu in all parts of the country, and the grain storage office, and he also said that he knew all the people who participated in this rebellion, whether it was Zhu Lifei or Ying Wangfu, the list was full of one zhang long, including many clan princes, honorable heroes, high-ranking officials in the court, and border guards.

The governor of Jiangsu looked at the long list of names, and his forehead was sweating. (To be continued......)
