In the evening, Zhu Biao's subordinates were waiting in the main hall, Zhu Fan and others also returned, and the three princes walked into the house with straight faces, which suddenly made the atmosphere more solemn, at this time Zhu Biao was still alone in the study, and no one knew how His Royal Highness the Prince was going to deal with this matter.

The three brothers sat on the chairs, and the rest of them knelt down and saluted, except for Fei Ju, their grades were not high enough, and they didn't need to make a big salute if they usually arrived, but now it was obvious that the three princes were in a bad mood, so they naturally followed the rules carefully.

Zhu Fan raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Get up, all of you here are my eldest brother's henchmen and vassals, and you are also working together with us these days, if any of you are involved in this matter, stand up now, this king can also plead for you, so as to save your life." ”

The other two princes also nodded, Xu Yungong, Chang Mao and others naturally would not participate in this kind of thing, Guo Chong, Zhang Fan, Wu Bozong and others were not so short-sighted, and those with weak hearts had already knelt outside.

After saying that they had nothing to do with this matter, the three brothers Zhu Fan didn't say more, the opportunity had been given, and if they couldn't grasp it, they wouldn't blame others, they just closed their eyes and waited for the eldest brother to come out to make a decision, they were tired after running for a day.

Zhu Biao in the study took a sip of tea and instructed Liu Jin on the side: "Let the second and fourth children come here, the people outside will disperse, and the rest will be dealt with tomorrow." “

Liu Jin bowed down and agreed, Zhu Biao put down the letter in his hand, it was not difficult to check after the incident, not to mention that those who were timid had already taken the initiative to explain what they had done, and they only asked the prince to be light.

According to their confessions, the highest official who could be found was the Fengyang Prefecture who colluded with the Huai'an prefect on the coast, and the two worked together to transport the materials directly to the north by sea.

However, Zhu Biao naturally didn't believe it, it was impossible for these two people and a group of micro-officials to do this, and their energy alone was not enough to support these materials to leave Fengyang Mansion.

Now that there are the crown prince and the three princes in Fengyang Mansion, the entire territory of Fengyang has been under martial law, and such a large amount of material transportation must require a large number of convoys, and if you want to leave, you must go through the inspection of the garrison.

The hands of these civil officials can't reach out to the military generals, so Zhu Biao thinks that there must be military generals and nobles involved, but he can't be sure who it is, but if he investigates like this, he will not be able to escape sooner or later, and Quan Xu has already begun to investigate.

After a while, Zhu Fan and Zhu Di walked in, and after saluting, Zhu Fan said: "Big brother, why don't you just take down these guys, it just so happens that the people in the corrupt official camp are about to die." ”

Zhu Biao knocked on the table and said: "The big fish are not hooked, there is no hurry, the small fish and shrimp can't escape, you two will go to Suzhou, Yingzhou, and Sizhou respectively with my warrant to send soldiers to defend Bozhou." ”

Zhu Di said suspiciously: "How much combat power can they have, it is better to ask Pingliang Hou to lead the elite soldiers over, is it ............?"

Zhu Di reacted halfway through his words, and after saluting Zhu Biao with Zhu Zhang, he hurriedly went out, preparing to rush to Sizhou overnight, fortunately, Fengyang Mansion is so big, and the states are not far away.

After Liu Jin sent them out, he said worriedly: "Master, isn't it better to invite Pinglianghou to enter the city alone, his whole family is in the capital, presumably he will not dare to disobey His Highness's orders." ”

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "It's just just in case, those people who do this won't be lucky." ”

As I said just now, all roads in Fengyang Mansion are under martial law, no matter how you go, it is impossible to escape and be inspected by the soldiers, no matter who orders the release, it will not be able to bypass the commander of the Fengyang army, Pingliang Hou Feiju.

Now Zhu Biao's subordinates have basically arrived, and only Pingliang Hou Feiju can reach it tomorrow, and Fengyang Mansion is only a big place, even if it is blocked by wind and snow, he will lead the pro-army to attack for a few hours.

It can be seen that Fei Ju has nothing to do with this matter, but I don't know if he is the mastermind or an accomplice, but in either case, he has betrayed Zhu Biao's trust in him, Zhu Biao regretted it a little in his heart, there was no Fei Ju in the list given to him by Li Shanchang at the beginning, or he specially added it.

Thinking of his past exploits, I wanted to get him out of Hu Weiyong's side, but I didn't expect this person to take a fork in the road in the end, and now the elite brought by Zhu Biao is in his hands, and Zhu Biao is not good to send someone to take it down directly for a while, otherwise it will be easy to make trouble.

However, although those elites belong to Fei Ju's commander, the middle-level generals will not watch Fei Ju rebel, and they are afraid that in case the thief shouts to catch the thief, taking advantage of the unclear situation, he threatens that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been held hostage, and directly leads the troops to attack Bozhou.

Since ancient times, the emperor did not like military generals, and it is because of this that the generals have military power in hand, no matter how they deal with it, they must worry about one or two, otherwise the emperor will not be able to wipe his ass if there is a mess.

Of course, the probability of this incident happening cannot be smaller, after all, there is always a chance to survive in Zhu Biao's hands, and there is only a dead end in rebellion, and now is not the time when tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can dominate the world.

Let the second and fourth brothers transfer troops to guard them overnight in order to dispel their delusions, Zhu Biao's own generals rebelled, even if they were suppressed and killed in the end, he was the one who lost face.

After another two hours, Liu Jin walked in and said, "Master, the people kneeling outside are all frozen to death." ”

Zhu Biao took a sip of hot tea and nodded, "It's quite sensible, their family won't be held accountable, let people carry it back." ”

Liu Jin went out to arrange, Zhu Biao was waiting for Quan Xu's news, and after more than an hour, Quan Xu walked in with a frosty atmosphere, Zhu Biao, who was excited from afar, trembled, and Quan Xu also understood, so he didn't get close to Zhu Biao after entering the house, and knelt down directly to salute.

Zhu Biao waved his hand to sit aside, Liu Jin served a bowl of cold warming ginger tea, Quan Xu's late night horseback riding in winter was naturally too cold, and he hurriedly poured a big sip to recover some of his spirits.

Zhu Biao was not in a hurry to urge, and only after seeing that he looked much more comfortable did he ask: Fei Juke has made a move, has the mastermind found out? ”

Quan Xu said in a deep voice: "The Marquis of Pingliang sent the general to deliver the news overnight, and the ministers tortured him after taking it, and finally learned that the news was to be passed on to Zhu Liangzu, the Marquis of Yongjia, who was guarding Xuzhou Mansion. ”

Zhu Biao frowned after hearing this, he didn't expect that there were really other nobles involved, and it seemed that Zhu Liangzu was the mastermind, after all, Fei Ju, Zhu Biao, who had been with him for a few months, also knew a little about it, except for fighting, the rest of the time his brain was not enough to plan corruption.

This matter is a bit difficult to deal with, after all, the people involved are beyond the jurisdiction of Zhu Biao now, and he can decide any official in Fengyang Mansion with one word, which is also the acquiescence of the imperial court.

But now the Huai'an prefect involved, Xuzhou Yongjiahou needs an order from the imperial court to take it, after all, Zhu Biao is only receiving the errand of relocating the people, and it is not in accordance with the rules to take down the officials of Dazhou directly without the emperor, even if Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't care, Zhu Biao can't do it.
