/p> At the beginning of July, Chen Dazhui returned to Yunnan Province alone. Zhu Gaoxu came to the study on the east side of the front hall and immediately summoned Chen Dazhu.

Chen Dazhui's hair was covered with dust, and the clothes on his body hadn't changed for a long time; Sweat and dirt mixed into black mud and accumulated on his neck, forming two distinct black lines along the folds of his skin.

"I've been non-stop all the way, I just arrived in Fucheng, and I haven't had time to go home yet." Chen Dazhu's dirty face looked tired, "There is something urgent to report to the prince." ”

Zhu Gaoxu lifted the teapot with his own hands, poured tea into a blue and white porcelain cup, and handed it over, "Sit down and say." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Chen Dazhui picked up the teacup and poured it violently, and immediately left a few black fingerprints on the white porcelain teacup.

Chen Dazhui pulled open the collared coat with both hands, put his palm in, and there was a sound of "popping" a few lines breaking, he took out a booklet and said: "When I was guarding the jade shop in Jingshi, a familiar offspring came, who was white and short, and gave me this, saying that it was something that he got from Fusi in Beizhen at the risk of death." Then the descendants told me that they must be sent to the prince......"

Zhu Gaoxu took it, the place where he started was a little damp, there was still a certain sour smell on the booklet, and there were still a few black fingerprints on the cover. Zhu Gaoxu immediately flipped through it.

Chen Dazhui's voice continued: "Wang Gui also sent Zhao Ping of the hundred households to say that the eldest son of the Marquis of Changxing was arrested, and the other two sons were sentenced at home; The commander of Beiping was impeached and transferred to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies of the Beijing Division. Later, Ping'an met Wang Gui and said that he wanted to defect to the prince! ”

"Ping An took the initiative to vote?" Zhu Gaoxu's hand flipping through the booklet stopped, and he immediately raised his head and looked at Chen Dazhui stunned.

Chen Dazhui nodded.

…… Zhu Gaoxu lowered his head and pondered for a while, then asked, "By the way, I asked you to answer that female Taoist priest, where is the person?" ”

Chen Dazhui's face was a little ugly, and he said, "Please forgive the prince, we haven't been able to see her." Wang Gui heard from the eunuchs in the palace that the saint had built a Taoist temple in the palace and asked the female Taoist priest to stay in the palace and pray for the queen every day......"

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he was stunned for a long time, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Chen Dazhui is still talking about some details. Zhu Gaoxu didn't listen carefully in a trance, and walked back and forth on the floor for a while before he finally spoke: "You go back and take a shower first, you don't have to be on duty these days." ”

Chen Dazhui clenched his fists and said: "The last general will retire." ”

Zhu Gaoxu was the only one left in the study, and Miaojin's face quickly appeared in his mind. The charming apricot eyes on the corners of the eyes are a little sad, as if they are preoccupied, and occasionally they show a smile, but they are very sad.

Zhu Gaoxu felt a pain in his heart. There were scattered lingering and wonderful pictures flashing through his mind, and the steps under his feet gradually became messy.

Countless chaotic emotions went back and forth in Zhu Gaoxu's heart for a long time. He sat down in a chair next to him and let out a long sigh of chagrin, chagrin ensuing!

When he left Beijing at the beginning of the year, if he thought of a way to pick up Miaojin immediately, why would he sigh for a long time now!?

Some things are delayed for a while, and they are really fleeting.

Zhu Gaoxu's mood was very low, and at this time, he couldn't help but think of Miaojin's wonderful body and the scene of being touched by Zhu Di's hand.

He suddenly grabbed the teacups on a few cases, "Bang dang! He slammed to the ground, and the pieces of porcelain flew in all directions! His face was flushed.

Several palace maids walked to the door of the study, bent down and looked inside cautiously, seeing Zhu Gaoxu's annoyed and angry expression, they wandered outside, and did not dare to come in for a while.

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Gaoxu calmed down a little. He didn't do anything impulsive except drop a teacup.

After all, it's not the first time he's encountered this kind of thing...... 's girlfriend in his previous life, took the initiative to throw himself into the arms of others, he didn't endure it! Otherwise, do you want to kill people because of this? If he had to risk his life at every turn, he might not grow that big.

In his previous life, he didn't dare to kill people, because he would be severely punished and pay the heaviest price! And now Zhu Gaoxu dares to kill people and do many serious things, but does he dare to kill Zhu Di?

Zhu Gaoxu finally calmed down and thought: Zhu Di must at least look at the queen's face, maybe he won't force Miaojin too much? What's more, if Zhu Di used a strong force, with Miaojin's temperament, he might not be able to pray in the palace for blessings.

Thinking of this, he felt a little better.

…… There were several beautiful wives and concubines in the Han Palace, as well as many young palace maids, but Zhu Gaoxu slept alone in the dormitory all night, and he was silent all day and night.

The next morning, Zhu Gaoxu finally sobered up a lot. After washing up and eating, he carried the file brought back by Chen Dazhui and came to the study of the carrier hall, and looked at the dirty booklet again and again.

After reading it for a while, he didn't find anything worth caring about in the booklet. The first few pages are written about a pirate leader named Chen Zuyi, and a lot has been written; Chen Zuyi seems to be a character, but Zhu Gaoxu doesn't care too much.

He simply flipped straight to the middle mutilation...... I found out yesterday that there were a few pages torn in the middle of this booklet.

On the front page of the mutilation, a text quickly caught his attention: Yao Fengji, a native of Changzhou County, Suzhou Prefecture. Zhu Gaoxu was first attracted by the surname "Yao", and then thought that Yao Guangxiao seemed to be also from Suzhou!

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly looked at the words behind the mutilations, and read them very carefully, reading them word by word.

Later, it was mentioned that Yao Fengji was a hundred households of Jinyi Wei. Jinyiwei found that he had colluded with the pirate Chen Zuyi, so Yao Fengji fled with his son and daughter, and his wife committed suicide at home; The imperial court then issued a reward for the arrest of the culprit...... Zhu Gaoxu turned to the last page, and Yao Fengji was never mentioned later, as if this person had not yet been arrested.

How did Yao Fengji collude with pirates, what did he do, and how was he found out? Zhu Gaoxu touched the torn off place in the middle, frowned and pondered for a long time.

The point is, why was a few pages torn out of the file of the North Town Fusi?

…… Zhu Gaoxu wiped the booklet with a handkerchief, put it back in his arms, and then walked out of the study.

He went straight to the harem and walked towards the corridor complex on the east side. The courtyard door of the courtyard where Yao Ji lived was open, and Zhu Gaoxu walked in and saw a palace maid sitting on the eaves to wash clothes, and another palace maid was sweeping the courtyard.

When they looked up, the maid who was washing clothes immediately stood up, and the other threw his broom and bent his knees, saying, "Slave and maid to meet the prince!" ”

"Yao Ji in the house?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

A palace maid said: "Back to the prince, Miss Yao is inside, and the slave maid will go in and call her immediately." ”

As soon as the words fell, Yao Ji had already walked to the door of a room, glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, and she saluted, "The concubine failed to greet her, please forgive the prince." ”

She wears a light red half-arm on her upper body and a white skirt on her lower body. Her hair had grown to her neck, but she couldn't comb her sideburns; She didn't wear a hat today, but her hair looked crisp and silky, as if it were the hair of a middle school girl. Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu only felt a little strange.

He nodded and said, "Let's talk about it in the house...... You don't have to serve tea, just go about your own business. ”

The ladies replied, "Yes." ”

When Zhu Gaoxu walked into the house, he heard a "aiming" call, but the cat grew faster than Yao Ji's hair, and it was already a big cat. There is a partition in this room, and outside the partition there is a chair and a table with soft futons on the chair and paper and pen and inkstone on the table.

He turned and closed the door first.

Seeing this, Yao Ji pursed her lips, walked to the window quietly, and lowered the curtain behind the window. Zhu Gaoxu was stunned and blurted out, "I didn't want to do that." ”

Yao Ji's face suddenly turned red, she hung up the curtain again, and said softly: "I'm not ...... either"

"Let's go inside and talk in the warm pavilion." Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the partition door.

Yao Ji followed, looking at him a little puzzled.

Zhu Gaoxu sat down on a waist stool and muttered for a moment before saying, "Does Yao Ji remember the place where she was born, is it Changzhou County, Suzhou Prefecture?" ”

"Yes." Yao Ji answered.

Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice: "Yao Guangxiao is too. ”

Yao Ji was silent for a moment and said, "He is my uncle of the same clan. I thought that the prince had guessed that we were relatives before, and we were both surnamed Yao. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I also know a person from Changzhou County, also surnamed Yao. ”

"Oh?" Yao Ji's slender eyebrows were slightly raised, as if she was a little nervous.

Zhu Gaoxu quietly observed her expression, wondering if she might have a fellow party surnamed Yao? He also said: "This person is from Changzhou County, Suzhou Prefecture, originally a brocade cloth and a hundred households, and later convicted of the thief Chen Zuyi, who was convicted of private pirate Chen Zuyi, and his son and daughter did not know where to go, and his wife hanged herself at home......

He paused and said, "This person's name is Yao Fengji." ”

Yao Ji's face changed suddenly, her big eyes stared there, and her body seemed to stiffen all of a sudden.

After a while, Yao Ji said in a trembling voice, "Where is he?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: "I don't know, the imperial court has offered a reward for arrest, but it has not yet been brought to justice." No one knows exactly where he is. ”

Yao Ji suddenly sat on the edge of the bed, stunned. This girl seems to be only seventeen years old this year, but her usual demeanor is very calm and calm, and Zhu Gaoxu has almost never seen such a dejected appearance today.

Zhu Gaoxu finally said his bold guess: "Ling Zun's name is Yao Fengji? ”

Yao Ji glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and nodded, "I couldn't remember it originally, but I didn't know until I asked others...... Where did the prince find out? ”

Zhu Gaoxu got confirmed, so he took out the file in his arms, handed it over, and said, "The old file of the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town." ”

Yao Ji got up and took it, her eyes swirling on Zhu Gaoxu's face for a long time, "Is the prince helping me find my father?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu was noncommittal, he also got it by accident, and he didn't know why Du Erlang wanted to get this dossier out.
