Chapter 31: The Trapped Beast

Since ancient times, the harem has been the bloodiest place. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info often seems peaceful, but it is full of murderous things.

Three days have passed, and Feng Guiren's miscarriage seems to have never happened. Emperor Zhu Youxiao only went to see it once, and then, as Cao Huachun thought, he didn't do it.

Zhu Xu also sighed, Feng Guiren finally saved his life, but he was directly executed by the Hakka family.

In the past few days, he has been honestly staying in the study to read, and Empress Zhang has obviously noticed something, and has sent people to check the palace several times in the past few days, for fear of any poison. And the imperial brother began to focus on the court, and Ye Xianggao had already written a letter. A radish and a pit, and the competition for me in the court is about to start again.

Zhu Xu was lying on a rocking chair, eating pastries while flipping through a solitary book from the Song Dynasty.

"Your Highness, Zhou Jianyu has a letter from there." Cao Wenzhao walked in from outside and said excitedly.

Ni Wenhuan and Zhou Yingqiu are good friends, both are Wei Zhongxian's right-hand men, one is one of the five tigers, and the other is the head of the ten dogs.

Zhu Xu raised his head and smiled, "What's the good news?" ”

Cao Wenzhao stood in front of Zhu Xu, handed the excerpt written by Ni Wenhuan to Zhu Xu, and said, "Your Highness, look, Zhou Yingqiu's old thing actually wants to go to Nanjing to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." ”

The previous turmoil led to the resignation of four or five of the six Shangshu in the northern and southern capitals, and it happened that one of them was the Shangshu of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites.

Zhu Xu looked at it briefly, and said with a smile: "He is retreating and wants to escape." ”

Cao Wenzhao was also quite jealous of this old thing's methods, and looked at Zhu Xu and said eagerly, "Your Highness, then what should we do, or take the opportunity to take him down, so that he will never be able to recover?" ”

Zhu Xu shook his head and said, "No, he won't die if he doesn't reach the Yellow River." ”

At the same time, he was also secretly thinking in his heart that Zhou Yingqiu asked Ni Wenhuan to take over this excerpt at this time, and it was estimated that the imperial brother would definitely not let him go, and it was likely that he would join forces with Gu Bingqian, Wei Guanghui and others to balance Han Yi, who was about to take over as the first assistant.

Zhou Yingqiu should have expected this, so it is estimated that there is any backhand, right?

But whatever you have, keep it.

Zhu Xu's heart turned, and he looked up at Cao Wenzhao and said, "You ask Wu Tian to take someone to Zhou Yingqiu's mansion, and say that he will investigate the matter of buying and selling officials in his office, and don't say anything else." After speaking, he secretly said in his heart, 'Brother Huang, thank me, this Zhou Yingqiu is a big trouble, Brother Huang, I will help you deal with it.'

Cao Wenzhao knew that Zhu Xu was putting pressure on the surnamed Zhou, and hurriedly responded, "Yes, I'll do it, but, Your Highness, if you do this, will he really comply, won't play tricks again, and honestly return to his hometown?" ”

"Homecoming? That's what he thought was too good. ”

Zhu Xu sneered, stood up and moved his body. He didn't want Zhang Wenda and the others to leave Beijing, because they were all honest and capable people, not to mention that they would be used again in the future, just staying in the capital would be a big help. And this week, Yingqiu's return to his hometown is to let the tiger return to the mountain, he will not do such a thing.

Cao Wenzhao didn't know what Zhu Xu's idea was, so after thinking about it, he turned around and did what Zhu Xu told him.

Two hours later, Ni Mansion.

Ni Wenhuan and Zhou Yingqiu sat opposite each other, Zhou Yingqiu looked depressed at the moment, and his face was self-deprecating.

There are drinks and dishes between the two, all of which are home-cooked food, showing that the two are very close.

Zhou Yingqiu drank a lot, and sighed as if he was drunk, "Brother Ni, Master Gu, and Lord Wei are no longer seeing me." ”

"Brother Zhou, why should you care, now it's just a small setback, you and I are both Jinshi who have passed the test, there is no need to be discouraged." Ni Wenhuan looked persuaded by his friends and friends, and accompanied him to drink. But he secretly said in his heart, "Gu Bingqian, Wei Guanghui is now highly valued by the emperor, and he will enter the cabinet soon, how can he see you, a person of right and wrong, at this time." ’

Zhou Yingqiu shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I think that I, Zhou, am also a person who entered the court and entered the imperial study, but now I am down, I didn't expect that there is only one person left who can drink alcohol, Brother Ni." The world is hot and cold, nothing more than that. ”

Ni Wenhuan looked at him, his eyes moved slightly, and he said as if unintentionally, "Brother Zhou, dare to ask, Eunuch Wei was really robbed in your mansion?" ”

Zhou Yingqiu's expression became more and more bitter, and he shook his head and said, "Brother Ni will also believe such rumors?" There are dozens of heroes in my family, who dares to break into my mansion and rob people, is it not to rebel? ”

Ni Wenhuan believed that there was no wind and no waves, and he also knew that Eunuch Wei had indeed sneaked back to the capital secretly, so he was silent for a while, and said, "Brother Zhou, if Jinyiwei turns over the old accounts, I'm afraid the emperor will also take care of one or two, and you ...... this excerpt."

Zhou Yingqiu waved his hand and said, "I'm tired of Brother Ni, don't go up, now I just want to be able to leave Beijing safely, where are there other extravagant hopes." ”

Ni Wenhuan squinted slightly, he knew very well what Zhou Yingqiu was, and he wouldn't come to his house just to find someone to borrow wine to drown his sorrows, most likely for some reason.

Ni Wenhuan thought in his heart, in addition to this imperial history identity, what else can make Zhou Yingqiu worry?

Suddenly, Ni Wenhuan's body shook, and he remembered his 'master' who he had never met.

Ni Wenhuan remained silent, accompanied Zhou Yingqiu to drink, and listened to his complaints.

Zhou Yingqiu saw that Ni Wenhuan had not been in the trap for a long time, and guessed that he had probably understood, so he looked at Ni Wenhuan with drunken eyes and said: "Brother Ni, I am desperate now, if there is a way, please help me as a brother, he will have a good reward in the future!" ”

Ni Wenhuan smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "Brother Zhou, my master is not an ordinary person, it is really expensive." ”

The reason why Zhou Yingqiu came to Ni Wenhuan's mansion was indeed to find out that Ni Wenhuan's wife and brother were from Zhang Wendabao, the former secretary of the ministry, and the person who could invite Zhang Wenda must be a noble person in the palace in his guess!

Zhou Yingqiu was still drunk and hazy, as if he was talking drunk, and said, "Brother Ni, don't worry, once you have a request, you can do everything." As he spoke, he laboriously took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and pushed them to Ni Wenhuan.

Ni Wenhuan glanced at the silver ticket, his eyelids jumped slightly, but he didn't dare to make his own decisions, and paused for a moment and said, "Brother Zhou, you might as well sleep first, and I'll take you to meet someone at night." ”

"See people? Okay, that's the man. Zhou Yingqiu didn't seem to be able to hold on, and suddenly lay on the table, like a sin.

Ni Wenhuan asked people to help Zhou Yingqiu to the wing, and then wrote a letter and asked his subordinates to send it to Zhou's Silk Village.

Zhou Jianyu received the letter, and naturally transferred to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu opened the letter and looked at the letter written by Ni Wenhuan, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled.

Cao Wenzhao looked at Zhu Xu laughing, and also laughed with a smile, "Your Highness, what is written?" ”

"Oh, I'm hooked." Zhu Xu smiled and threw the letter to Cao Wenzhao.

After reading the letter, Cao Wenzhao looked at Zhu Xu with bright eyes and said, "Your Highness, Zhou Yingqiu is going to take refuge in us?" ”

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "This old dog doesn't know what to do, what do you want him to do." ”

Cao Wenzhao was confused, he didn't know what Zhu Xu's purpose was when he did so much, and hesitated and said, "Your Highness......

Zhu Xu sat up, held his chin and thought for a while, and said, "Let Zhou Jianyu go to see him, ask him to write a letter of allegiance, and then let Wei Zhongxian escape." ”

Cao Wenzhao quickly figured out what Zhu Xu meant, and said, "Your Highness, are you trying to trap him?" Yes, I'll arrange it. ”

Zhu Xu nodded with a smile, then turned his gaze to the direction of Xian'an Palace, and after dealing with Zhou Yingqiu, the next thing was this old witch.
