Everyone also thought it was incredible, how could a sheep speak?

However, what makes everyone even more curious is how Zhou Xing knew that the money was stolen by this shepherd?

Seeing the shepherd's quibble, Zhou Xing said sharply: "You still don't admit it? ”

The shepherd said, "Hmph, do you really think the sheep can speak?" It's a joke."

Zhou Xing pointed to the sheep and said: "Although this sheep can't speak, this money can speak." ”

This is even more marginal, this sheep can still hum, what can this money say?

Zhou Xing continued: "When this baked cake is made, the old man's hands are covered with oil and flour. The old man used these hands to collect money and find money every day, so if the money passed through his hands, it would definitely be stained with oil, and if the money was placed on the stove, it would definitely be stained with flour. Therefore, only when the old man's money is thrown into the water can it be splashed. But the money that everyone threw into the bowl just now, only the one of this shepherd, which was splashed, you say, who else would there be if it wasn't him? ”

Zhou Xing said everything reasonably, which is really impossible to refute. The shepherd was like a defeated rooster, drooping down his face and looking dejected.

"So that's the case, Childe is really clever and smart, admire, admire." Seeing that Zhou Xing actually used the trial sheep as a guise to find out the real murderer, the people around him were suddenly eye-opening, and all the previous ridicule turned into admiration, and the eyes that looked at Zhou Xing flashed brightly.

"Yes, it turns out that Gongzi already knows who did it, and the trial of the sheep is just to let the real murderer relax his vigilance, it is really killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone."

Zhou Xing returned the copper coins in the bowl, even the money stolen from the shepherd, to the old man who made the baked cakes. The old man was amazed, thanked him for his success, and finally said: "Xiao Xianggong looks like a scholar, he will definitely go to high school in the future, and if he becomes an official in the future, he will definitely be a good official." ”

Zhou Xing thought that it was possible to be an official by himself, but it was absolutely impossible for this high school champion. He knew that if he went to the imperial examination at his current level, he was afraid that he would not be able to pass the examination.

"Haha, then if I am in high school in the future, I must come to my uncle's place to buy two baked cakes to eat, which is considered a wish." Zhou Xing said with a smile.

Everyone laughed, and the shepherd, taking advantage of the inattention, took his ashes and slipped away. When someone saw it, they shouted, "Arrest him and go to the official, but don't let him run away." ”

When the shepherd heard this, he immediately ran faster. Although they screamed merrily, no one really caught up with the shepherd.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Zhou Xing came to Zhu Gaoxu's side. Zhu Gaoxu approvingly: "Zhou Xing, Zhou Xing, I didn't expect you to be quite clever." ”

Zhou Xing suddenly felt a little depressed, a twelve-year-old boy called a young man in his twenties a "kid", which felt a little awkward no matter how it sounded.

"Boom ......" At this time, a thunderbolt on a sunny day startled everyone.

Zhou Xing glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and thought, let you pretend/force, now you are going to be struck by lightning.

"It's raining......"

The crowd on the street gradually decreased, and everyone quickly rushed home, Zhou Xing said: "Second young master, let's go back quickly." ”

"Then go back, there's no more to play." Zhu Gaoxu sighed helplessly.

As soon as the two of them returned to Yanwang's Mansion, the raindrops of beans fell, and then it was dark and dark.

Looking at the rain outside through the window, Zhou Xing whispered: "The sky was still clear just now, and now the rain is pouring down. ”

The climate in the south is humid and rainy, and when it rains, it is like God has prostatitis, frequent urination, urgency, and inexhaustible urination. This pouring rain was seven days and seven nights.

Don't say going out, even staying in the house, Zhou Xing felt that he was about to be soaked by moisture, and the clothes he wore always felt covered with a layer of mist, and Zhou Xing often worried that he would grow mushrooms on his body. Moss grew on the stone slabs outside the house, adding a bit of greenery out of thin air.

Taking advantage of the rainy time, Zhu Gaoxu had already pestered Zhou Xing to finish telling all the stories of Journey to the West.

"It's raining so hard." Zhou Xing stayed in the room where he lived, looking outside.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu walked through the corridor and came to Zhou Xing.

"Zhou Xing, my father asked us to go to Chenzhou."

"Chenzhou? Where is that? "When Zhou Xing was in school, the geography was not very good, let alone the place name of the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't know where the gate of Chenzhou opened.

Zhu Gaoxu was also confused, and said: "I don't know, anyway, someone will lead the way when the time comes." ”

He looked very interested, and said, "Wow, I can go out to play again, stay in this mansion all day, my whole body is about to mold." ”

Zhou Xing asked again: "What did Your Highness ask us to do in Chenzhou?" ”

I've never heard of this name, so it's obviously not close.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "The river breaks Yangwu, flooding Chenzhou, Zhongmu, Yuanwu, Fengqiu, Xiangfu, Lanyang, Chenliu, Tongxu, Taikang, Fugou, and Qixizhou counties. Someone reported that the officials of Wuyang had embezzled the money to govern the river, and the emperor's grandfather originally asked his father to investigate the case, but now the emperor's uncle needs his father's help, and he can't spare time, so he invited the emperor's grandfather and asked us to supervise it. ”

River, especially refers to the Yellow River, the Yellow River burst is a common thing, and the control of the Yellow River is the common cause of the emperors of all dynasties.

Zhou Xing was puzzled: "Isn't this matter handled by Jinyiwei?" "It's all like this on TV, arresting corrupt officials, it's all Jinyiwei.

Zhu Yuanzhang hates corruption the most, and it is said that if he is greedy for dozens of taels of silver, he is skinned alive, filled with straw, and put it into the local temple to warn the world. According to this sentencing standard, I am afraid that it is not enough for the eighteen generations of the ancestors to be skinned.

Under such strict standards of corruption governance, there are still people who commit crimes against the wind? Zhou Xing felt a little incredible.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Jinyi Wei is doing things on the surface, my father said, the two of us are going to supervise." At that time, my second and third emperor's uncles both presented the emperor's grandfather, saying that this matter was very important, and my father had to come out. But my father was too busy, so he asked the emperor to let me go. Hurry up and pack up, and we'll leave right away. ”

He only thought it was a good opportunity to go out and play, but Zhou Xing smelled a trace of something unusual.

"You mean, His Royal Highness the King of Qin and His Royal Highness the King of Jin, together to invite the emperor and let His Royal Highness the King of Yan go down to do this?" In order to confirm his thoughts, Zhou Xing asked again.

Zhu Gaoxu said proudly: "That's right. Alas, who made my father powerful, such an important matter of guarding the north, the emperor grandfather handed over to my father to do, this investigation of corruption, naturally also requires my father to come out. Don't you know how much the emperor's grandfather hates corrupt officials and corrupt officials......"

Zhou Xing really wanted to say that your Lao Tzu was not assigned by your grandfather to investigate the case, but your two uncles wanted to send him to investigate the case.

There is a fundamental difference between the two.

Zhou Xing's modern thinking brain spun rapidly. He didn't think it was easy to do this. Not to mention whether corruption exists, even if it exists, then Jinyiwei will go to investigate, why do King Qin and King Jin have to let Zhu Di do this? And why did Zhu Di refuse on the grounds of the prince's funeral?

Besides, shouldn't this be a good opportunity to express yourself? Why didn't the King of Qin and the King of Jin go by themselves? If you do this well, you can be regarded as accumulating political achievements. Such a good opportunity, will they give it to King Yan?

As Zhu Gaoxu said, Zhu Di is already capable of guarding the north, and if he adds political achievements, doesn't that push Zhu Di to the emperor's throne?

"That, Second Young Master, since His Royal Highness King Yan has refused to take on this errand, then why do you want to let Second Young Master do it?" This is what Zhou Xing feels most confused.

Zhu Gaoxu is only a twelve-year-old boy.

Zhu Gaoxu said proudly: "I asked for it, what a good opportunity this is, we can go out and have fun, are you happy?" Surprised? ”

Zhou Xing: "......"

Second Young Master, can I beat you?

Zhou Xing felt that Zhu Gaoxu was underbeaten! That's to investigate the case! It's not for a tour!

The more he thought about it, the more wrong Zhou Xing felt about it.

What did the King of Qin and the King of Jin give credit to Zhu Di for? Do you learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds?

And Zhu Di would rather let his son do this thing, and he will live or die in the capital to organize the prince's funeral, what kind of brotherhood is this......

Wait a minute, it looks like something is wrong!

Zhou Xing felt as if he had grasped the point.

Now that the prince is dead, Zhu Yuanzhang is sixty-four years old, and in the seventy years of his life, he is already considered to be a high life, and now there is such an exciting thing as a white-haired person sending a black-haired person......

God knows how long Zhu Yuanzhang can jump!

The so-called country cannot be without a king for a day, and now that the prince is dead, the establishment of a new prince has become a top priority.

According to the law of succession, it is naturally Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin.

And if it is according to the merit, it must be Zhu Di, the king of Yan!

In terms of eldest and youngest, Zhu Di ranks fourth, but among Zhu Yuanzhang's more than 20 sons, only Zhu Di is considered "me-like" by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Di's existence is the biggest threat to Zhu Zhang's throne.

Just imagine, if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to establish a prince now, he would have wanted to set up Zhu Di, but Zhu Di was not around, and only Zhu Fan was by his side.

What will it be like then? Not to mention that Zhu Fan will use the patriarchal law to talk about things, even if Zhu Yuanzhang wants to confirm that Zhu Di is the crown prince, then this edict can be 100% passed to Zhu Di who is far away in Wuyang or Chenzhou?

When Qin Shi Huang died, he set up the crown prince Fusu as the new emperor, but Fusu was not in the capital, didn't Hu Hai rob this position?

There is no doubt that Zhu Di also thought of this layer, which is why he is desperately in the capital.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xing couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat in his heart, this story of fighting for power and seizing the throne is about to happen?

What made Zhou Xing feel even worse was that he was especially implicated because of Zhu Gaoxu, a little guy!

Zhou Xing: "Readers, is it too late to beat Zhu Gaoxu to death now?" ”
