Chapter 71: Hu Pengju's Whereabouts (1)

"Are you sure Hu Peng is holding this?" Looking at the inconspicuous courtyard, Ma Sanbao asked with some confusion about the death row prisoner who was beaten into a bloody man and looked dirty, with his understanding of Hu Pengju, how could Young Master Hu be among the non-luxurious courtyards, but it was not strange to think about it, after all, Hu Weiyong's forces were basically dispersed, and even the inheritance was confiscated to Hu Pengju, and Hu Pengju could only rent such an inconspicuous house.

"It's inside!" After getting the confirmation, Zhu Di sent someone to break down the gate of the courtyard, and all sides of the courtyard were surrounded by guards, even if Hu Peng raised his wings, he could not escape.

When Ma Sanbao stepped into the courtyard, the courtyard seemed empty and silent, and when he pushed open the room of Hu Pengju, who was identified by the death row inmate, it was an empty room in front of him, and it was hard to believe that this room was inhabited if it was not very tidy.

Ma Sanbao walked to the kang where Hu Pengju lived, stretched out his hand to grope on the bed, he felt a burst of residual warmth, the residual temperature was not very much, obviously Hu Pengju had been away for a while, he stomped his feet helplessly, "It's too late!" Give that guy an escape! ”

There are a lot of traces of cleaning up in the house, and it is obvious that Hu Pengju has not been away for long, but in the vast Beiping City, where to find four living people? With a population of more than one million, looking for someone is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Anyone died here?" Suddenly, Ma Sanbao looked at the blackened blood stains outside the door and the blood stains on the door bolt suspiciously, and he asked with some confusion.

"Yes, just yesterday, a soldier came here and gave Young Master Hu a map of His Royal Highness's house, and then he also sent a firecracker, and then he was killed by Young Master Hu." The death row prisoner spoke slowly, mentioning the firecracker, Ma Sanbao's face changed, Hu Pengju can have the firecracker, obviously there is the support of the military behind him, you must know that Zhu Di does not have any military support now, according to the progress of history, what Ma Sanbao can think of is that General Lan Yu supports Hu Pengju behind his back, but he has no evidence, so he can only rely on the process of history to speculate.

Ma Sanbao never thought that Hu Pengju would actually do the act of killing people, in his impression, Hu Pengju is not such a ruthless son, it seems that Hu Weiyong's death hit Hu Pengju quite hard, he is not guilty, after all, Hu Weiyong's father and son hurt him first, if there is no framing of Hu Weiyong's father and son, Ma Sanbao will not kill Hu Weiyong's father and son.

"Do you know which officer sent the musket to him?" Ma Sanbao asked the death row prisoner, however, the death row prisoner shook his head and said that he didn't know, which gave Ma Sanbao a little headache, and everything fell into a dead end, although he knew that it was most likely a gift from Lan Yu, but it was not so easy to solve at the moment.

"I guess they left Beiping City to join the army." Ma Sanbao guessed that he couldn't be sure, after all, there was very little introduction to Hu Pengju in history, and he didn't know where Hu Pengju would go next.

The long river of history has become a little chaotic because of the appearance of Ma Sanbao, he is a little unclear about how to find Hu Pengju, if Hu Pengju joins the army, he will definitely join Lan Yu's army incognito, Lan Yu and Zhu Di are not familiar with each other, even if they want to investigate thoroughly, it is difficult to find out.

Ma Sanbao was helpless, he hoped that there would be computers and other equipment in this era that could allow him to understand the changes in the current situation in real time, but unfortunately it didn't work, he didn't know anything about the production of computers in addition to military and history, which stumped Ma Sanbao, he didn't know how to start pulling Hu Peng out of Lan Yu's army for a while, once he misunderstood General Lan Yu, it would make Lan Yu and Zhu Di fight each other, although Lan Yu was defined as a traitor in the future, but now there is no evidence at all.

"What are you thinking?" Zhu Di patted Ma Sanbao on the shoulder, the first time he saw Ma Sanbao fall into deep thought, the first time he saw Ma Sanbao Zhu Di met him for the first time, he never thought that there would be a problem to be able to stop Ma Sanbao, obviously Ma Sanbao wanted to get rid of Hu Pengju, after all, this young master of the Hu family had murderous intentions against them.

"I wonder if they're going to join the army? Now that the business matter has almost been settled, shouldn't we hand over to the army as soon as possible? Use your identity as a general in the north of the town to secretly check for recruits to join the army? He was able to get the firecracker, obviously there was an army behind him. Ma Sanbao said in a deep voice, Hu Pengju did not get rid of it for a day, like a thorn in the heart, and he was fiercely pierced in Ma Sanbao's heart.

"Brother Xian, your worries are not unreasonable, I will deal with the affairs of the army as soon as possible, with General Xu Da as a backer, I believe that we can quickly cut Hu Pengju out of the army!" Zhu Di opened his mouth and said, in the face of the empty house, his heart was also very lost, if Hu Pengju could be arrested, the previous Hu Weiyong's case would be completely closed, but unfortunately, he was caught empty and ran away for Hu Pengju.

The empty courtyard is full of traces of Hu Pengju's life, and even the neighbors told Ma Sanbao that not long ago, there was a strange man wearing linen and filial piety in this house, and there were often strange noises in this house, and the neighbors avoided this family like a plague, and no one dared to make friends with Hu Pengju at all.

"Why is this man covered in blood? Do you owe you a silver tael? A neighbor puffed up a list and asked, the death row prisoners escorted by Ma Sanbao and others were stained with blood all over their bodies, and the dirty clothes made the group of neighbors feel puzzled.

"No, it was this family who beat it, and this is not here to find justice for the next person, and it will disturb your life." Ma Sanbao smiled at his neighbors and took the death row prisoner back to the mansion of His Royal Highness.

.......................................

The noon sun shone on the streets of Beiping, Xu Da sat in the house and tasted the sweetness of the tea, Kong Wu was powerful, he was not too interested in wine, after all, the first element of killing the enemy in the line array was to keep a clear head.

"Report, General, Your Highness asks to see you!" The attendant hurriedly ran into Xu Da's room and opened his mouth to report to Xu Da.

The corners of Xu Da's mouth raised a smile, "I knew that His Royal Highness should look for me, his business in Beiping has been taken care of, and he should come to me to talk about the army." ”

Xu Da got up, his broad shoulders were full of a sense of security, among the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da was a well-known killing god, and it was also their umbrella, although it was not as white as the killing god who killed millions of people during the Qin Dynasty, but he was also a famous general of the Ming Dynasty, even Lan Yu was not as prominent as Xu Da in terms of reputation, perhaps only the deceased General Chang Yuchun could have the power to fight with Xu Da's reputation.

"General, you seem to be prepared?" Seeing Xu Da stand up to greet him, Zhu Di was puzzled.

"I've been waiting for Your Highness to come to the Humble House for a long time, Your Highness, I guess, you want to hand over the army, right? As the general of Zhenbei, I want to try the war, but what, Your Highness, the war is not child's play, the ferocity of the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty may exceed His Highness's imagination, although I promised His Highness that he would give full support, it is not that I doubt the ability of Wen He and His Highness to use troops, but I still have to be cautious, Your Highness, I will be the vanguard of large-scale wars, and small-scale wars will be handed over to you to command, how about it? Xu Da opened his mouth and said, he had experienced the dangers of the battlefield, and he was worried that the Fourth Highness would encounter accidents on the battlefield.

"Will General Xu be a little too pretending? Although His Royal Highness has no experience, I do, and I have participated in a lot of battles in my previous life. Ma Sanbao subconsciously complained in his heart, but it is no wonder that Xu Da has participated in many wars, and he has long known the war, and he has participated in many more wars than the kiln that Zhu Di has been to.

Zhu Di frowned when he heard this, as a general of Zhenbei, his confidence was also shaken by Xu Da's words, it is not easy to master the military power in the north, as Xu Da said, he does not have any experience in warfare, and even he needs the assistance of Ma Sanbao to make suggestions, can he really lead the army of the Ming Dynasty to fight with the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty? You must know that the so-called great generals are all crawling out of the pile of dead, and he only obtained the title by virtue of having a supreme father.

The name of the general of Zhenbei is not so easy to sit on, Zhu Di also knows this, this requires military exploits, and Xu Da's words made him calm down a lot.

"General, it's not good to hit His Highness's enthusiasm like this, His Highness is the general of Zhenbei, although it was sealed by His Majesty, the real power is still there, and we are not only here to dock the army, it seems that we want to understand the identity of the new army under the command of other generals, does the general have a chance to obtain it?" Ma Sanbao asked, what he wanted to know more was Hu Pengju's whereabouts.

"It's not difficult, the other generals have a good relationship with me, if I look for them, they should all tell me that you have enemies joining the army, right? However, there are so many new troops, how are you going to investigate? Xu Da opened his mouth and said, at the age of the Fourth Highness Zhu Di, some enemies have nothing, and it is reasonable to use their identities to find out the whereabouts of the other party.

"Yes, I think the general is also very familiar with this enemy, Hu Weiyong's own son, Hu Pengju, but for now, it should take ten days to join the army, so I bother the general to pay attention to this." Ma Sanbao said respectfully.

mentioned Hu Weiyong's son Hu Pengju, Xu Da's face instantly became solemn, and he also paid a lot of attention to this matter, Hu Weiyong is his political enemy, Hu Weiyong has embarrassed him everywhere, he has no good impression of Hu Weiyong, and now Hu Pengju is a wanted criminal of Daming, even if he is not for selfishness, for Daming, he will do his best to help Ma Sanbao thoroughly investigate Hu Pengju's whereabouts.
