Although Liang Fang is still the eunuch of the celebrant seal, his life is not as good as before.

The people around Zhu Youzhu have become Qin Ji, the old eunuch of the East Palace Hidden Mansion, and he, the eunuch with palm prints, can only stand aside.

As soon as he heard that the governor of the Nine Sides suddenly entered the palace and asked to see him, Liang Fang, who was half-cut into the ground, immediately cooled his heart: This young master won't be going to settle accounts after the autumn, right?

Cautiously entered the Qianqing Palace with a feeling of anxiety, raised his eyes and looked carefully, and found that whether it was the emperor or Zhang Ru, his face was not very good-looking, and Liang Fang's heart sank a little.

After seeing it with a big salute, he arched his hand to Zhang Ru, and Liang Fang said carefully: "I don't know what Your Majesty has to summon the old slave?" ”

Zhu Youzhu said in a deep voice: "Liang Fang, you recruited from the truth, did your father tell you anything before he died." ”

Liang Fang subconsciously replied: "The old slave is not. Oh, the first emperor did say something to the old slave. ”

Zhu Youzhu sat up straight: "What's the matter?" ”

Liang Fang glanced at Zhang Ru and kept silent.

Zhang Ru arched his hand and said: "The minister will retire first." ”

Zhu Youzhu frowned: "Liang Fang, if you have something, just say that Wenxuan is not an outsider. ”

Now it is no longer Zhu Jianshen to be the emperor, in the face of the new emperor's golden mouth, Liang Fang did not dare to grasp his identity anymore, so he said carefully: "The first emperor told the old slave that there is a Tianmen Nine Guards, who walk around the Ming Dynasty as a thousand households in Jinyi and keep an eye on the vassal kings everywhere. This matter is very important, and the first emperor instructed the old slave to wait for His Majesty to ascend the throne before telling His Majesty about this matter. The identities of the Nine Guards of Tianmen are known only to the Nine Guards themselves and the First Emperor, and the old slave knows a few people, but they don't know their names. ”

"I don't know if it's what my father told you!" Zhu Youzhu said coldly.

Liang Fang snorted and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, the old slave is just a slave of the heavenly family, and it is impossible for the first emperor to tell the old slave too many secrets." However, the first emperor said that if he left, those people would enter Beijing on their own. ”

Seeing that Liang Fang's expression didn't seem to be fake, Zhu Youzhu didn't delve into it, and after glancing at Zhang Ru, he waved his hand and signaled Liang Fang to go out.

After Liang Fang left, Zhu Youzhu asked, "Wen Xuan, what you said about the nine guards of the Heavenly Gate, is it really so mysterious?" ”

Zhang Ru groaned: "Xuanhu doesn't know, but the three old men dared to go to Beizhen Fusi and say that they would solve the chaos in the capital in three days, and this courage alone is not something that ordinary people can have." Your Majesty, rest assured, you will see in three days. ”

Zhu Youzhu snorted: "By the way, what happened a few days ago, I."

Zhang Ru smiled: "Your Majesty is relieved, just a marquis, there is no need to be with the courtiers." You can't use too drastic methods against these arrogant literati, you can only slowly figure them out. ”

The position of marquis, if Zhang Ru has no idea at all, it must be fake.

When he first came to Daming, he wanted to live well, and slowly his goal changed, wanting to help Zhu Youzhang ascend the throne as emperor. Now that Zhu Youzhu has successfully become the emperor, although there are still many people who do not want the prince to ascend the throne, it is an established fact that Zhu Youzhu has become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

It stands to reason that he should choose to retreat bravely at this time, but what he saw when he inspected the Nine Sides reminded him of how the court established by the Tartars was humiliated by the Waiyi four hundred years later. Millions of people are homeless, and it is not uncommon for them to change their children and feed them.

Thinking of all this, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

Especially the tragic Nanjing Massacre, which made him want to take the Ming army to sweep away the island country in that projectile land now.

However, now Daming has constant internal and external troubles, and he must stick to his post and let Daming become strong step by step.

With a new goal, this marquis, he is determined to win.

With the title, it means that he can successfully enter the Xungui group, and entering the Xungui group means that he can get the support of half of the courtiers. Only in this way can he fulfill his long-cherished wish of leading the Ming army to sweep through the island country one day.

Zhu Youzhu smiled apologetically: "Over the years, you have done too much for me, and I will not treat you badly." ”

Zhang Ru couldn't help but say: "My own brother, what are you polite." ”

Zhu Youzhu said angrily: "Who said that there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and who said that rules should be established?" Calling me a brother and a brother, aren't you afraid of breaking the rules? ”

While speaking, Zhu Youzhu always had a narrow smile on his face.

Zhang Ru couldn't cry or laugh, this sentence of his brother came from his heart, and he didn't have a brain at all. As a result, he was pinched by the young emperor, and he couldn't refute it.

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Zhu Youzhu laughed: "Oh, my tiger brother, you also have times when you cry and laugh." ”

After chatting a few more words, Zhang Ru arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, the minister will retire first." ”

Zhu Youzhu was dissatisfied: "You can't talk to me more." ”

After becoming the emperor, he became more and more aware of what it meant to be alone, whether it was the little eunuch or the old eunuch around him, everyone was trembling when he saw him.

In the past, the ministers who were so talkative in the court, except for those imperial historians who could still talk to him with their necks strained, several scholars in the cabinet did not dare to speak loudly in front of him.

The only one who could laugh with him was Zhang Ru.

Zhang Ru said with relief: "Your Majesty, wait for this matter, I have no opinion on you and I finding a place where no one is drunk and getting drunk." But now that the eldest princess has already done it, if we don't return the color, I'm afraid it will be looked down upon. ”

Zhu Youzhu said helplessly: "Pay attention to safety, go early and return early." ”

Zhang Ru said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Hurriedly returned to Beizhen Fusi, after a group of elites were taken away by three old men, Jinyiwei's strength was much weaker, so he had to make a careful plan.

On the other side, the three old men with hundreds of brocade guards took these people to directly invite the thirteen grain merchants out, and when they went to invite these people, they also met the people brought by Mu Bin.

The mouths of these grain merchants were like iron hoops, their families were not in the city, and Fan Tong did not even have anything to threaten. It took a day in vain and didn't ask anything.

Twelve of the thirteen were tortured, and the Jinyiwei's unique method allowed them to die of pain without being seriously injured and dying.

The thirteen people kneeling on the ground in a row, each of them was on the verge of a mental collapse, if it weren't for the last trace of the thought of protecting their families, they were afraid that they would have died immediately.

Xu Hai grabbed his white hair in a mess: "You have already tasted the power of Jinyiwei, when you are benevolent today, you don't want to be killed too much when the first emperor is on the occasion." You'd better tell what you know, otherwise, not only you, but your family will be dead. ”

The only shopkeeper who was not injured laughed miserably: "This lord said lightly, our family is in the hands of those people, if you say it, I am afraid that they will die earlier." ”

Xu Hai said lightly: "If you don't say it, Jinyiwei can't be rescued, only if we know the identities of those people, we can arrest them." Even if there are some casualties caused during the capture, it is better than all deaths. The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers, this world is the world of the Ming Dynasty, where can your family hide? ”

"We don't even know where our family is, how can you save it?" The shopkeeper was dying, and he had no fear.

Hu Tou couldn't help but say angrily: "Jin Yiwei still can't make you believe it? These Xiaoxiao will die sooner or later, you don't want to say it, Lao Tzu is not reluctant, Boss Xu, just kill them all. ”

Chu Hong also said: "It's useless for these people to keep them, they are clean when they die, it's a big deal to do something in Shuntianfu, and the grain still has to be sold." When this grain comes out of the official storehouse, they can sell it, and others will naturally sell it. ”

Xu Hai turned his head to look at Huang Tu: "Boy, what do you think?" ”

Several old men have a good impression of Huang Tu, and the other brothers who came out with Huang Tu didn't feel tired, after all, it's been two years, and Huang Tu is still just a small flag. There were many brothers who were promoted who wanted to pull him, but they were all suppressed by Mu Bin.

In fact, the most dissatisfied with Mu Bin's practice of covering the sky with one hand in Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town is these old brothers brought out by Zhang Ru personally.

Huang Tu thought for a while and said, "For the sake of adults, kill it." ”

Xu Hai said without hesitation: "Then pull them out and kill them, everyone gathers, and prepares to gallop to Datong and bring their families to the pot." ”

Several of the thirteen people who had already thought they were dead suddenly raised their heads, and it was their action that pulled them out in advance.

Xu Hai raised his hand, stopped the Jinyi Guard who wanted to pull the others out, and said lightly: "Now you can say it." ”

The unscathed shopkeeper stood up and said: "A month ago, some bad people came to the small house, saying that there was a big deal to do, and the small ones didn't believe them at first, but the profits they gave were too great, and the small ones were greedy, so they left them in the house.

Unexpectedly, this turned out to be luring a wolf into the room.

That night, at least hundreds of gangsters entered the small family's home under the instigation of these people, controlled all the small family, and arrested all the home's nursing homes.

They said that the small ones should stop buying and selling grain, or they would kill all the small ones' families.

The little one closed his shop after they gave the order, and then the uncles of the Jinyi Guard asked the little one, and the little one could only take care of him left and right for the sake of his family. ”

"Do you know who they are?" Xu Hai asked.

The shopkeeper said: "The little ones don't know, but these people are extremely weird, and their kung fu is also very high. ”

The shopkeeper was not punished, because he was the first to confess the situation.

With him taking the lead, several other shopkeepers also knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Ask the adults to save the lives of the little ones, it's not a pity for the little ones to die, but the little ones are innocent." ”

"Hu Tou, focus on interrogating the person who is pressed out, and if necessary, you can also use your means." Xu Hai frowned.

The three of them have their own abilities, and this beard's ability is to be able to make people unconsciously tell everything they know.

And those shopkeepers don't know this.
