Chapter 42: Smooth escape, turbulent dark tide
With the young master's reminder, Zhu Changluo knew that his intentions had been seen through, so he no longer hesitated, shouted, and pulled Wang An towards a deep alley. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Give me chase!"
Zheng Wenshan reacted at this time, he was tricked, and immediately said angrily, but at this time, Zhu Changluo and the three of them had already broken through the encirclement and fled into the alley next to him.
However, a trace of sarcasm flashed in the eyes of the young master next to him, and he said unhurriedly.
"Zheng Gongzi rest assured, that place is a dead end, he can't escape!"
Zhu Changluo is very anxious, really anxious!
Naturally, he didn't hear Fang Cai's conversation, but he really saw it, this is really a dead end!
The reason why he dared to escape so decisively was because he remembered that this place in his previous life was the old city, and it was said that it retained the original appearance of the buildings in the Ming and Qing dynasties, so he dared to gamble......
It's just that what I didn't expect was that if the pit dad tour guide in his previous life had deceived him, or the Tartars had rebuilt this place, in short, the small alley that led to Andingmen in his memory was now separated by a thick wall!
"Cousin Wang, fight with them! Grandma's, isn't it just a bunch of domestic servants, Lao Tzu beat them to death! ”
Seeing a group of evil servants gradually catching up, Wang Changxi's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, and he said in a deep voice.
Zhu Changluo unexpectedly saw the light of choosing someone like a lone wolf in the eyes of this unobtrusive cousin, and he was a little stunned for a while, but he came to his senses in just a moment, and now is not the time to think about this.
There are many people on the other side, plus those two young people who are obviously masters, they can't fight hard, and they can't fight hard, glancing at the house next to him, Zhu Changluo gritted his teeth, and could only fight!
"Cousin, slam the door!"
Although Wang Changxi didn't understand what Zhu Changluo was going to do, he understood what he meant, and after a little hesitation, he rushed towards a simple house next to him.
In a hurry, Zhu Changluo calmed down, he and the others are still within the scope of Chongjiaofang, not far from Chongxin Bofu, if he can make the movement bigger, he will definitely be able to attract attention, as long as he can attract others, Zheng Wenshan will definitely not dare to act rashly!
He was reluctant to do this before, firstly, he did not want to involve the people in this turmoil, and secondly, it was not his character to sit back and wait for death, but it was to such a point, but he couldn't care about it!
"Who are you? It is a big crime to trespass on the official house! ”
Breaking into the gate, Zhu Changluo just wanted to explain, but he didn't expect that there was already a loud cry in the courtyard.
When I looked up, I saw an old man in the courtyard in a cyan round-necked robe, with a momentum of not being angry and arrogant, and his white eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, indicating the owner's dissatisfaction.
It's just that what surprised Zhu Changluo even more was that the old man was adorned with a Xiyi complement in front of him, which was clearly the official robe of the seventh-grade official.
And behind the old man, there was also a young man in his thirties, also wearing a cyan round-necked robe, but the complement on his chest was a heron, which was actually a six-rank official.
However, in just a moment, Zhu Changluo reacted, this is a gathering place for high-ranking officials and nobles, but not everyone can have the majesty of Chongxin Bofu, many low-ranking civil officials, although they also live in Chongjiaofang, but they live in some private houses, presumably this is the case.
Zhu Changluo stepped forward and said while asking Wang Changxi to block the two door panels again.
"This lord is invited, I am Zhu Changluo, the king of Baoding County, I went out to visit a friend today, but I didn't expect a traitor to plot wrong, and I broke into this door in a hurry, I hope your lord will forgive me!"
"What?!"
"His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest son?!"
I have to say that Zhu Changluo's identity can be used to scare people, and the two officials were shocked when they heard this.
"Yes, this king has a seal here, for the two of you to check!"
Since seeing these two people, Zhu Changluo breathed a sigh of relief, the reason why Zheng Wenshan dared to be so presumptuous was just to rely on no one around, and when something happened, he could naturally shirk it.
But now that there are these two more officials in the bureau, the situation is very different.
If he dared to do something to Zhu Changluo in this situation, it would be a sure assassination of the prince, and it would not be enough to lose the entire Zheng family!
As for killing people and killing people, Zhu Changluo didn't think about this possibility at all, not to mention that with so many people present, whether he Zheng Wenshan could block the news, just the crime of murdering a civilian official was enough for their Zheng family to be wiped out!
And it's the kind of scum that doesn't have any scum left!
Don't forget, this is the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the most brutal place in the political struggle!
In so many years of imperceptible change, many invisible rules have been formed, the most important of which is that civil officials cannot be killed! Especially not to be assassinated!
The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are very weak, but their lives are very expensive!
Just imagine, if someone is prone to assassination in order to win the political struggle, wouldn't it be everyone's own danger?!
So even if it is a petty official of the seventh grade, as long as it is found that the Zheng family did it, they will face a counterattack from the entire civil official group, and even the Divine Sect will not be able to protect them!
Not to mention, the young official in front of him can achieve the sixth grade at a young age, if he is not from a Jinshi background, he will not believe it!
"Your Highness just said that someone wants to plot wrongdoing, who is so bold?"
The two took the seal letter in Zhu Changluo's hand, looked at it for a while, and finally confirmed Zhu Changluo's identity, but the old man frowned and said in a deep voice.
Before Zhu Changluo could speak, he heard the sound of banging on the door outside, the two broken door boards had already been hit once, how could they continue to support it now, but in a moment, Zheng Wenshan entered with a group of evil servants.
"Wait for your presumptuousness!"
The old man trembled angrily and shouted.
And Zheng Wenshan obviously didn't expect that there would be two officials in this dilapidated small courtyard, and he was a little stunned for a while, but the two young masters next to him were quick to press Zheng Wenshan's shoulders to prevent him from speaking, and the young masters who took the lead arched their hands and said slowly.
"Jin Yiwei pursues the thieves, and has no intention of offending the two adults, and the losses here will be compensated later, please forgive me!"
The words were very polite, and he didn't mention Zhu Changluo next to him, as if he was invisible.
However, although the other party's words were polite, there were people on Zhu Changluo's side who were very angry, and he saw that the six-grade official looked angry and stepped forward and said in a deep voice.
"Oh, what a lawless tightness! Luo San, Luo Si, you dare to collude with thieves and plot to assassinate His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, this official must play Your Majesty and ask Luo Commander if this capital is his one hand covering the sky! ”
The two young masters were stunned, but they glanced at each other, arched their hands at the same time, and asked.
"Dare to ask your name?"
"Gu Yuncheng, the director of the official rites department!"
The Liupin official was angry and replied in a deep voice, which suddenly made the hearts of the two young masters who were called Luo San and Luo Si sink in their hearts.
They have heard of this person's reputation, he is really a thorn in the head, and relying on the background of Jinshi, even the emperor is not afraid, today is really troublesome!
Glancing at each other again, Luo San, who was a little older, stepped forward and said.
"Lord Gu, today's incident has nothing to do with the two of us, let alone with the commander, the two of us were ordered to protect this Zheng Gongzi, and there is absolutely no out-of-the-ordinary action, this Gongzi can testify to this! If the adults insist on participating in this play, my Jinyiwei is not a person to be bullied! ”
After that, he bowed without humility or arrogance, grabbed Zheng Wenshan's shoulder, and snorted softly.
"Retreat!"
Immediately, he couldn't help but say that he left the courtyard wrapped in Zheng Wenshan, and the remaining evil servants saw their son-in-law leaving, and they also left the courtyard in a hurry.
In a moment, the quiet in the small courtyard was restored again, and Zhu Changluo stepped forward slowly, bowed his hand, and spoke.
"Thank you two adults for your help, Chang Luo will remember it!"
"Your Highness is polite, it's a pity that such a villain, we have no evidence to participate in, but your Highness has been wronged!"
Gu Yuncheng sighed, but said with some hatred.
"Master Gu knows those two?"
Zhu Changluo frowned slightly, but he opened his mouth and asked, Luo San, Luo Si didn't lie, if they had made a move earlier, I am afraid they would not have escaped so easily.
Just listening to what I just meant, could it be that these two people are from Jinyi Weizhong?
"Yes, these two people are the people under Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the lower officials have seen them a few times! However, since they didn't make a move against His Highness, it is not good for the lower officials to make something out of nothing, and they will participate in him, please forgive Your Highness! ”
Gu Yuncheng said softly with a little apology.
However, a glimmer of light flashed in Zhu Changluo's eyes, the commander of the Jinyi Guard? Could it be that he also colluded with the Zheng family?
After a pause, Zhu Changluo turned to the old man and said.
"I don't know the name of this adult? The situation is urgent, and the kid is offended, please forgive me! ”
Looking at the scene in this courtyard, it is obvious that Gu Yuncheng came to visit, but the main family is this old man in a seven-grade official robe, who rushed in rashly, not to mention disturbing other people's gatherings, and even messing up the courtyard, so he naturally felt very sorry.
"The old man is very benevolent, His Royal Highness doesn't have to be like this, the old man is ashamed that he can't help His Highness!"
The old man had a square face and said with a salute.
Yu Ren?
Zhu Changluo vaguely felt that he had heard of this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it, so he finally had to make up his mind to repay the old man well, and then said goodbye and left.
It's just that what he didn't see was that after he left, Yu Yuren and Gu Yuncheng sat down again, but the old man had a serious face, and arched his hand at Gu Yuncheng and said in a deep voice.
"Lord Gu, don't worry, if Your Majesty is so stupid, the old man will definitely not be able to sit idly by!"
What no one expected was that today's accident would cause a monstrous wave in the court......
