The moment he saw Yan Jin's corpse, Zhu Yuanzhang was not sad, but shocked, the death of the most trustworthy old minister in the past did not have much feeling on this cold-blooded emperor, after all, he was used to seeing too many life and death partings in his life, the plague when he was not yet an adult, how many people who had not yet breathed were abandoned, and he once watched his relatives swallow their last breath.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang only wanted to know the secrets hidden behind death, whether these would affect his imperial rule and the stability of future generations.

The city patrol envoy knelt on the ground, "Back to the emperor, according to the test, Lord Yan was poisoned to death, as for who poisoned him and what purpose he held, the humble position has not yet been clarified." ”

"Impossible, Yan Jin can't die here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly raised his voice, and everyone behind him knelt on the ground in fright, "The emperor is angry, and Weichen will do his best to catch the murderer of Lord Yan." ”

"Impossible."

Zhu Yuanzhang said three times in a row that it was impossible, a pair of eyes never left the corpse on the ground, there would be no mistake, that face was too familiar, Zhu Yuanzhang happened to see the scar on Yan Jin's neck, there would be no mistake, the human face could be imitated, the body must not, that scar was injured by the opponent's arrow when he was protecting himself.

At this moment, it was already certain that the corpse that fell in the Kaiping Palace's mansion was Yan Jin, a person who should not have appeared here in the first place.

Yan Jin was secretly taken out of the prison, and finally died here, in less than two days, everything was carefully planned by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he didn't want to push Yan Jin into the ghost gate with his own hands.

The position of detention is at least half an hour's journey to Kaiping Palace, how this distance is completed, Zhu Yuanzhang knows Yan Jin's personality too well, even if he is coerced, he will not give in, and the only person in the world who can make Yan Jin submit is himself.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang is old and not confused, he has never made a will to let Yan Jin enter the Kaiping Palace, one thing is for sure, this is a well-planned murder, the purpose is to get rid of this once powerful dignitary.

What is the purpose of this, revenge, if so, Yan Jin's detention position is extremely hidden, and almost no one knows except for the accompanying guards.

"Check."

Zhu Yuanzhang only said one word, one word is enough, it is said in different mouths, the meaning is completely different, and the city patrol envoy hurriedly said: "Weichen has ordered people to search along the way, hoping to find some clues, so as to find the murderer as soon as possible to avenge the commander and envoy." ”

"The geese have left a voice, I don't believe it, a living person was killed, and nothing was left!"

"The emperor is wise, and Weichen remembers one thing."

"Speak."

The city patrol envoy got up from the ground, his body approached, and the guards behind him stepped forward quickly, such a move was undoubtedly taboo, and no one could approach without the emperor's permission.

"Let him come." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and the guards quickly retreated.

"Your Majesty, the commander once drew a few times on the stone surface with his fingers, but Wei Chen was only a shallow learner, and he never understood the meaning."

"There are words to stay! Where is it? Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, it's here!" The city patrol envoy took the torch from the guard's hand and almost stuck it on the ground, and at this moment he finally saw that there were really words on the stone surface, and dozens of hours had passed when he found Yan Jin's body, and the blood on the ground had already dried up, leaving only a few dry blood marks.

"Yan Jin, tell me who killed you, I will definitely avenge you."

Zhu Yuanzhang's figure was close, he whispered in his mouth, his brows were tightly locked, and the eunuch who held the lamp on the side put his hand to his mouth, and he hadn't seen the emperor show such a serious expression for a long time.

Yan Jin's death, if it is just a simple revenge, it is easy, find out the murderer and give the deceased an explanation, at this time Zhu Yuanzhang began to faintly worry, the seemingly calm capital in the surging undertide finally appeared at this moment, these things have happened in all dynasties, even if it is finally resolved through suppression, the damage caused to the entire dynasty will take decades to make up.

Zhu Yuanzhang is old, he has long lost the heart of fighting for hegemony in the world, at this time blindly seeking stability, with the help of the hand of Jinyiwei, the purpose is that after he dies, those old ministers will not pose a threat to Zhu Biao, who succeeds to the throne, these are all for the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to fight the world, and it is even more difficult to defend the world.

Find out who is behind the scenes, so that the last threat of the Ming Dynasty disappears completely, Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his fists, and finally realized at this moment that Yan Jin's threat was nothing to those who carefully planned to get rid of Yan Jin.

Looking downward, there were a few red marks left on the stone surface, which were not words at all, just a few messy gestures crossed together, the direction in which Yan Jin fell to the ground, and the position of his fingers, should have been left by Yan Jin before he died.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it intently, never saying a word, and secretly guessed what happened in the Kaiping Mansion a few days ago, how Yan Jin came here, even if he was deceived here for a while, with Yan Jin's martial arts and wisdom, at least he has the power of self-preservation, unless it is.

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to think of something, and his eyes fell on the red imprint again, the first stroke was a horizontal, and the second stroke and the first stroke crossed each other, and it was impossible to tell whether it was vertical or apostrophe.

The marks on the ground should be written reluctantly when Yan Jin was about to disappear after Yan Jin was poisoned, and from the way he put down the pen, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned deeply, trying to find out the answer from the handwriting left by Yan Jin.

Kicking and kicking, footsteps sounded, and the commander of the palace guards led a team of guards to enter quickly, and the accompanying guards saw that the commander was coming and hurriedly dodged left and right.

"Knock on the emperor."

"Found what?" Zhu Yuanzhang was still staring at the words on the ground when he spoke, this is the hint left by Yan Jin before he died, and each stroke is completed with great effort, and there must be a meaning in it.

"Back to the emperor, there were traces of a fight in the courtyard where Lord Yan was held that day, and the six palace guards accompanying him were all killed, a fatal blow, it was definitely not done by ordinary people, judging from the corpse, it should have been dead for more than three days, which is very consistent with the time when Lord Yan was poisoned."

The person who came to Zhu Yuanzhang was about thirty years old, burly, and his eyes revealed wisdom, and he must have the ability to be the commander of the imperial city guards, and in a few simple words, he explained all the facts he saw, and the most important thing was that he was absolutely loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have any expression on his face, as if he had guessed this, Yan Jin's death had become a fact, and the heartache was meaningless at this time.

Yan Jin died at the hands of others, just to untie Zhu Yuanzhang's heart knot, the most important thing at this moment is to find out who is behind the scenes, who is it, and he has to get rid of Yan Jin before he makes up his mind, why are he so anxious, is it because he is worried that I will not get anything from strict imports, and if so, what is it!

"Block the news, at all costs, and find out the murderer."

"Yes."

The Captain of the Guards stepped back, "Wait. Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and as the voice came out, the body of the guard commander stopped, "Do it secretly, don't cause panic." ”

"Yes."

There was no word all night, and as the night fell, the hustle and bustle of the capital ended, and it was destined to be a sleepless night for these people in the inner city.

Zhu Yuanzhang left the Kaiping Mansion and returned to the palace, and along the way, the situation in the Kaiping Palace, the smile on the corner of Yan Jin's mouth when he died, and the unfinished handwriting on the ground, what does it portend, the relationship for many years, is the most clear Yan Jin's personality, cautious, and the handwriting left at the last moment of his life must be to tell me something important, what is it!

Zhu Yuanzhang's brows were tightly locked, and Yan Jin's death appeared in his mind, as well as the blood marks left on the ground, among which the clearest stroke was a horizontal stroke drawn by his fingers, and then a vertical, with a slight cross between the horizontal and vertical, and the last stroke was from top to bottom or had another choice.

Yan Jin's last stroke is destined to be unfinished, his body is highly poisonous, he fought his last strength to complete the first two strokes, and at the last moment he completely relied on his will to complete it, and it was not clear where the last stroke fell even if Yan Jin did.

"Could it be him!" Who Zhu Yuanzhang thought of at this moment, no matter who it was, it must be sad, and it can make this man who controls the world suspicious, and he is by no means extraordinary.
