Dongchang is set up in the north of Dong'anmen, today is the day when Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, was released from prison, the throne was dismissed, demoted to the common people, maybe it is also a relief, of course, Zhu Youzhen's identity, even if he is imprisoned in Dongchang, will not let him live in prison, it is also good food and hospitality

His wife Zhou Yufeng and his cronies in the house were waiting outside the gate of the East Factory, and naturally Sun Zhong was just Wang Chengen, who didn't know where he went

Everyone stood anxiously outside the door, waiting for Zhu Youzhen to come out, finally, the door was open, and several fans walked out first, and then when Zhu Youzhen came in, he was still the prince, and he came out today, but Zhu Youzhen did not rush to regret it, but took a long breath This prince doesn't do it, the court just collected his own palace, and his own private property, the court did not confiscate it, and it is good for the wife to be a rich man peacefully, it can be said that it is worth thanking for being able to save his life

Seeing that his wife and subordinates were waiting outside the door, Zhu Youzhen smiled at his wife, and walked out of the door quickly, Zhou Yufeng shed tears, hurried over, and then opened his arms and hugged his husband tightly...... You're finally out ......"

"Don't call me the prince anymore, I'm not the prince anymore, in the future, just like the people's husband and wife, just call me husband," Zhu Youzhen said, his voice was somewhat sad

"Yes...... Husband ......" this title, Zhou Yufeng has never called, since the day she married Zhu Youzhen, she has been calling her husband the prince for the first time today called her husband the husband, not only some feelings to marry into the emperor's family is both fortunate and unfortunate, for Zhou Yufeng of a small family, it is a blessing that you can marry such a husband This honor is not because of the status of the husband, but because of the relationship between the husband and herself. It's impossible, but today, it seems that the distance is gone, and she can finally call her husband husband openly

"Let's leave here and live in a different place," Zhu Youzhen stroked his wife's hair and said earnestly

"Good...... Husband...... Let's get out of here and live in a different place......"

"Here" not only refers to Beijing, Zhou Yufeng understands what her husband means, and she also wants to leave here

Suddenly, Prosecutor Zhu You breathed a sigh of relief, gently broke free from his wife's embrace, took two steps forward, and said, "Bring the car over and let's go."

"Yes, the prince ......" Sun Zhong is also used to calling the prince

"Don't call the prince in the future, just call the master," Zhu Youzhen said gently

"Yes, master......" Sun Zhong agreed, and hurriedly asked someone to bring the car over, then dropped the stool, and waited for Zhu Youzhen to get into the car

There were more than 40 people rushing over from the corner of the street, and the people who were the first were still riding horses, and these people quickly came to the carriage, and Zhu Youzhen and the others saw clearly, these people were all wearing the clothes of the errand soldiers, just the one who rode a horse, and was wearing a military general's robe, this person Zhu Youzhen did not know, but this person was none other than Yue Su's henchman, Tie Qiu

"Which one is Zhu Youzhen?" Iron Crumble shouted

"Which green onion are you? How dare you call the life of my lord? Listening to Tie Qiu's words, Sun Zhong became angry, took a step forward, and said loudly

"Lord Wang? Where is the prince here? Zhu Youzhen has been removed from the throne by the imperial court, but he is a commoner, what do you still call him the prince now? Is it not respecting the will of the imperial court" Seeing the other party's loud voice and iron momentum, he immediately raised his feet

"Sun Zhong, you step aside first" Zhu Youzhen said in a gentle voice When Sun Zhong stepped back, he took a few steps forward and said, "I am Zhu Youzhen, is there anything wrong?" ”

"This is the fire sign of the Criminal Department, because Zhu Youzhen is suspected of a major case, he is specially invited to the Criminal Department for questioning," Tie Qiu said loudly

"I wonder what case I'm involved in?" Zhu Youzhen asked calmly

"The case of the ransacking of Rizhao Port," Tie Qiu said bluntly

As soon as these words came out, others didn't do anything, but Sun Zhong's face immediately changed, and Zhu Youzhen's heart was still calm, and he said: "I've heard about this, but I don't know what it has to do with me?" ”

"I don't know if it has anything to do with you, I'm just doing what I'm told, please come with me," Tie Qiu said

"The emperor has issued an order to release the king of my family...... Husband...... What right does your criminal department have to take you into custody again? Hearing Tie Qiu's words, Zhou Yufeng was anxious and shouted loudly

"You also know that Zhu Youzhen is not the prince now, his case involving Zhu Youxiang's rebellion is indeed closed, but the case of the suspected ransacking of Rizhao Port has not been closed, he is now in Buyi, the Criminal Department wants to ask him to go for questioning, naturally there is no need to ask Zhu Youzhen, are you right?" Tie Qiu said loudly that his remarks could be said to have been taught to him by Yue Su

"Hahahaha......" Zhu Youzhen couldn't help laughing, and said: "This is really called Longyou being played by shrimp in shallow water, and the tiger falling in Pingyang was bullied by dogs, and now I am just a cloth cloth, and the criminal department is arraigned, so naturally I can't disobey us."

Zhu Youzhen still behaved calmly, without anyone arresting him, he walked forward in stride

"Husband......" "Master......"

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen said to leave, Zhou Yufeng and Sun Zhong both called out nervously

"You don't have to worry, I have a bad year this year, so I can be imprisoned by this, but the Qing is self-clearing, I heard that Lord Shang Shuyue of the Criminal Department is the world Qingtian, and after finding out that it has nothing to do with me, he will let me go now, and you will all go back to the inn and wait" Zhu Youzhen said indifferently, looking as if nothing happened

"Yes...... Husband......"

"Yes...... Lord......"

Tie Qian took Zhu Youzhen back to the Criminal Department, Zhou Yufeng, Sun Zhong and the others could only return to the inn again, as soon as they entered the door of the inn, an elderly man with a long beard greeted him anxiously, but he didn't speak, Zhou Yufeng nodded at the elder, and then everyone went up to the second floor of the inn together

When he arrived at the private room, he closed the door and the long-bearded elder spoke, "Princess, why hasn't the prince come back?" His voice was concerned, but it was neither yin nor yang, and it could be heard that it was a good eunuch, and this person was Wang Chengen

Because he was guilty of Zhu Youzhen, so the court was looking for him, and he didn't dare to show his true face, so he could only stick a fake beard, hiding in the inn Today is the day Zhu Youzhen is released, he thought that he could see the prince, and then leave this place of right and wrong together, but he didn't expect that the people who went to pick him up came back, but the prince did not come back

"The prince was taken away by the people of the Criminal Department," Zhou Yufeng said faintly

"This ...... How so...... Hasn't the emperor already issued an order to release the prince......" Wang Chengen asked puzzled, his tone anxious

"I heard from the people in the Criminal Department, the case of the prince who was suspected of being ransacked in Rizhao Port is now the prince of the common people, and the Criminal Department wants to take him, who can stop him" Zhou Yufeng shed tears

"Alas......" Wang Chengen sighed and said, "Such a thing...... How can it implicate the prince's head...... Could it be that the imperial court wants to borrow Yue Su's hand...... Crucify the king...... There is no excuse for the sin you want to add......"

"This ......" Sun Zhong only said one word, and swallowed the words back

Seeing that Sun Zhong wanted to speak and stopped, Wang Chengen glanced at him and said, "Sun Zhong, do you know about this?" ”

"I ......" Sun Zhong is a straight intestine, he can't hide anything in his heart, and the change in his coarse expression naturally can't escape Wang Chengen's eyes

Wang Chengen chased after him and asked: "What the hell is going on, hurry up and tell me that now is not the time to hide it anymore, otherwise it will kill the prince."

"Yes, Sun Zhong......" Zhou Yufeng also hurriedly said: "Sun Zhong, if you know anything, quickly say don't hide it, otherwise, you will kill the prince."

"Yes...... one is the wife of the prince, and the other is the most trusted eunuch of the prince, the status of these two people in the palace in front of him, Sun Zhong naturally knows that he also sees that the matter is urgent at the moment, and he does not dare to hide it

After listening to Sun Zhong's story, Zhou Yufeng and Wang Chengen's faces sank Since the prince is not wronged, this is a bad thing for everyone to know, Yue Su judged the case and became a god, it seems that it is not false at all, through a little clue, he has already found the head of the prince, and it is estimated that it is not difficult to interrogate and ask clearly

"Sun Zhong, you should immediately send two people to the Criminal Department to inquire about the case, see how the case is being tried, and report back at any time," Wang Chengen said

"Yes......" Sun Zhong quickly stood up and was about to go out

Besides, Zhu Youzhen, since he was brought back to the Criminal Department by Tie Qiu, he was locked in the ear room, and only asked him to wait inside, waiting for the summons, but this wait, it was more than an hour, Zhu Youzhen wondered in his heart, he had asked the guard guarding the door, when to be arraigned, but the officer only told him to wait, when to mention him, the adults will send someone when you are thirsty or hungry, just open your mouth

Zhu You got this answer, and he was inevitably suspicious in his heart, but he could only stay in the house honestly and wait quietly

On the other side, Lord Yue was also waiting for his duty room, Yue Su sat behind the bookcase, quietly flipping through the file, and at this moment, it had been an hour since Tie Qiu came back to restore his life, and Tie Qiu wondered in his heart, everyone had been escorted back for so long, why didn't the Lord try it

Yue Su flipped through the file is to the front line of Yuanbao to send a report, the Tartar sneak attack, how to be defeated, now Huang Taiji has led a heavy army to arrive, is forcibly attacking the city, fortunately, Sima Qiaoyu has led the reinforcements to arrive, the soldiers are full of food, and the Tartars are difficult to cross half a step

Although this report is important, Yue Su has flipped it back and forth no less than five times, and it has long been clear, but he still looks at it repeatedly, which is really puzzling

Tie Qiu finally couldn't help but say: "Zhu Youzhen has been brought for an hour, my lord, you ......"

"Wait, I don't know how to try this case," Yue Su actually threw out such a sentence

This can make Tie Qiu stunned, "My lord...... And he was arrested......"

"I just suspect him in this case, there is no evidence at all, the reason why he was arrested in such a hurry is just that I am worried that he will run away, if it is really arraigned, it will be a simple interrogation at most, Zhu Youzhen must not be recruited, I will not do it in vain" Yue Su said lightly

"What the adults said is that it's not a way to drag it out like this, but the adults have always been obsessed with judging cases, and I think there must be a powerful aftermath this time," Tie Qiu said

"You really guessed wrong this time, a powerful back move, there really isn't one" Yue Su said with a smile

"Ah...... What about this case...... Otherwise, I will now go to Zhu Youzhen's house and take it, and the adults will be interrogated one by one, I believe that I will definitely be able to judge the Mingtang" Tie Qian said again

"Such an important matter, if it is really Zhu Youzhen's doing, there will definitely not be many people who know about it, and the people who know it are all his confidants, they will never easily admit that although Zhu Youzhen is not the prince, at least he is still the younger brother of the first emperor, there is no full evidence, and there is no way to torture him, and similarly, it is inconvenient to use heavy punishment for his subordinates," Yue Su said

"That'...... Isn't there no way to do it......" Tie Qi said helplessly

"That's not it, let's wait, the news from Zheng Zhilong's side, it is estimated that if it is not delivered today, it will be sent to my side tomorrow, and someone has been sent to Zhu Youzhen's inn where they live to keep an eye on, but no one who goes out will be spared."

Zheng Zhilong has already led a team to go to sea, and went to the gathering place of the Japanese Kyushu pirates to inquire about Yue Su's estimated time, and there should be news delivered within one or two days

Not to mention, Zheng Zhilong's efficiency is still good, of course, this is also with the help of the prestige of the Daming Naval Division, Mao Wenlong transferred more than 200 warships and soldiers and horses to him, plus the warships of the headquarters, Zheng Zhilong went to sea with 300 warships, and went straight to Kyushu, Japan Zheng Zhilong himself was born as a pirate over there, and he also had a few connections, and the local pirates were shocked when they saw such a battle, and thought that Zheng Zhilong was here to fight

Zheng Zhilong saluted first and then soldiers, sent invitations all over the place, and invited the local pirate leaders to come to their own place to discuss matters, the gang was afraid of Zheng Zhilong's troops, and came to Zheng Zhilong to get to the point, and said the reason, the pirate masters hurriedly said that they didn't do it, although they knew that the Ming Dynasty was opening the sea in Rizhao, but they gave them eight guts, and they didn't dare to go over to spread wild

It's not that you don't matter, then provide some information to Lao Tzu, if you dare to say that you don't know, then the matter is easy to do, Lao Tzu will destroy you all, and it can be regarded as rather in vain, otherwise, so many people and horses Xingshi will come to the crowd and return empty-handed, how to explain

Don't really say it, there are really people who know about this, but the matter is related to the Chiba daimyo Date Masamune, who dares to talk nonsense So, in the face of Zheng Zhilong's toughness, none of these people said anything in line with the idea of not blaming the public

This time, it can anger Zheng Zhilong After all, he is really a widow, don't you all know, well, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite Lord Yue has already said, I can't fall into the majesty of my Ming Dynasty Three hundred warships, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, the consumption of back and forth is a lot, and I can't bring back any news, how do you let Lao Tzu explain

Zheng Zhilong was furious, and detained all the pirate leaders who came to the meeting in front of them, and sent troops to attack the pirates' various nests, which scared the pirates enough, and begged Zheng Zhilong again and again to eat this, or that sentence, don't you say it, then it will be all destroyed

How much strength can these pirates have, twenty or thirty ships, two or three thousand people belong to large households, just with their strength, Zheng Zhilong will destroy ten or eight families in one day is more than enough At present, all the pirate leaders are dumbfounded, they also understand that if they recruit now, they will definitely be betrayed by the people present, and when Zheng Zhilong leaves, he will definitely die, but if he doesn't say it, then he will be destroyed now, and he is in a dilemma

However, finally one of them spoke up, "Brother Zheng, the younger brother knows about this, but the younger brother doesn't dare to say it."

The one who spoke, Zheng Zhilong knew, named Ren Fulong, was a Chinese, on the side of Jiuzhou, he was not strong or weak

"Why don't you dare to say it?" Zheng Zhilong said coldly

"The person who did that thing has a lot of background, the younger brother said today, as soon as the eldest brother walks on the front foot, the other people here will have to sell the younger brother when they turn around, and the younger brother will lead the troops to fight at that time, so how can the younger brother stand it, it can be said that if you don't die in the hands of the eldest brother today, you will have to die in the hands of that person in the future" Ren Fulong said bluntly

"What you said also has some truth, so how can you say it if you make a condition?" Zheng Zhilong asked

"It's very simple, as long as the eldest brother can guarantee that after the younger brother says this, no one here will betray the younger brother and ensure the safety of the younger brother, and the younger brother will tell the eldest brother," Ren Fulong said

"This thing is easy to do, Lao Tzu originally planned to do it, if no one said it, Lao Tzu will destroy you all in one go, in this case, except for you, everyone else here is destroyed, isn't there no one to betray you" Zheng Zhilong said with a grin

"Since the eldest brother is so righteous, if the younger brother doesn't say it, wouldn't he not know how to raise the younger brother now......" Looking at Ren Fulong's posture, he plans to tell the truth of the matter now

But this time, the other people were in a hurry, there was a Japanese pirate leader, named Gao Yuan Yima, he didn't wait for Ren Fulong to finish speaking, he pulled his throat and said: "Zheng Jun, I also know about this matter, you know that it can guarantee my safety, I will say it now"

"Yes, yes...... As long as I can ensure my safety, I will also say......" For a while, four or five more guys shouted Everyone understands that with Zheng Zhilong's strength, it is really easy to destroy it, since Ren Fulong has taken the lead, what does it matter, now it is important to save his life

Zheng Zhilong laughed and said, "Ren Fulong, you say it first and then the others will add"

"Brother Zheng, this ......" Seeing so many people fighting for merit, Ren Fulong was obviously a little worried, if Zheng Zhilong wiped out everyone else, he would immediately become the number one pirate on Kyushu Island, and even if Date Masamune knew about it, he would not be afraid, he would fight if he could, and withdraw if he couldn't, but if Zheng Zhilong left others, how would he mix in the future

"I'll let you be the first to say it, you will be the first to say it to me, if you don't want to say it, I'll let someone else be the first to say it" Zheng Zhilong now has the capital, and his tone is tough

"Yes, then...... The little brother said...... "Now that the arrow is on the bow, I can't help but say that Ren Fulong said truthfully: "Who did this, the younger brother is not sure, but a few days ago, the younger brother's subordinates found out that the Chiba daimyo Date Masamune had sent a ship to the sea, and it may be that he did it."

There are so many places in Japan, there is a big and small thing, it won't take long for everyone to know that Date Masamune didn't dare to make a big show, just sent some ships to the sea, but as a pirate in the Sea of Japan, how could he not find out that Date Masamune's ship went to sea from Chiba to China, and it must pass through Kyushu Island

"Do you remember what day this happened?" Zheng Zhilong asked again

Ren Fulong naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense, and told the day truthfully, Zheng Zhilong heard it, the day of departure was exactly the day before the crime, the day of the return voyage, and the day after the crime, no need to think about it, it must be them, otherwise, how could it be so coincidental

Zheng Zhilong nodded, looked at Gao Yuan Yima, and said, "It's your turn."

"Zheng Jun, I know the same situation as Ren Jun," Gao Yuan Kazuma said

"And what about a few of you?" Zheng Zhilong asked grinning again

"I'm going to say the same as Zheng Jun", "It's the same......

The others said

"Damn it, since it's the same, why didn't you bastards say it earlier, it's ill-intentioned, come on, except for Ren Fulong, all the other people here will be pulled out and cut for me" Zheng Zhilong said loudly

In the cabin of the meeting, all Zheng Zhilong's subordinates, as soon as they heard the generals, they flocked to the scene, and all the pirate leaders present were captured, and they were not polite, pulled outside, and scolded the first group of people, but the ship was quiet

Zheng Zhilong glanced at Ren Fulong, who was already impressed by Zheng Zhilong's momentum, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him

"Don't thank me, I, Zheng Zhilong, have always been true to my word, the business of Kyushu Island will be up to you in the future, be careful with me, I don't care about robbing other people's ships, but if you rob my merchant ship of the Ming Dynasty and someone sues me, or my boss asks me to supervise it, I will definitely be the first to come to you" Zheng Zhilong warned

"The younger brother knows, the eldest brother can rest assured"

"It's good that I have a temper, that is, to help people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, what trouble do you have here, you need me to do it, just say it, I have something to say here, my brothers can't work in vain" Zheng Zhilong said again

Hearing this, Ren Fulong was overjoyed in his heart, although Zheng Zhilong has now ordered to destroy some pirates, but it is not all destroyed, but four or five families with their current strength, even if the pirate leaders of Kyushu Island are dead, he still does not have the strength to dominate Kyushu Island, and he still has to rely on Zheng Zhilong to say with a smile at the moment: "That's nature, that's nature, how can you let Brother Zheng work the younger brother's side in vain, I am willing to honor 30,000 taels of gold, please ask the eldest brother to come forward, help the younger brother cheer, and surrender all the pirates here, after the eldest brother has orders, The younger brother must be the first to look forward, and there is nothing to say."

"It's the little things"

Zheng Zhilong immediately mobilized men and horses to help Ren Fulong cut off the pirates of other forces on Kyushu Island, and sent people back by boat to report the matter here to Yue Su (to be continued
