The rush was handed over to Zhu Youzhang, who was quite weak, and coughed hard a few times before he slowly opened the rush. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Immediately, Zhu Youzhu raised his eyes, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Liu Chengfeng strangely, and then continued to bury his head in reading the book.

After reading the book twice, Zhu Youzhu frowned and closed the book, looked at Liu Chengfeng, and said slowly: "Liu Chengfeng, Zhou Cheng is dead!" ”

The expression on Liu Chengfeng's face was quite calm, but when he heard that Zhou Cheng was dead, he immediately understood why Zhu Youzhu looked at him with such eyes, and he couldn't help but say, "How did you die?" ”

Zhu Youzhang's tone was flat, but his eyes looked at Liu Chengfeng very deeply, and he said slowly: "On the way to Jingxian, a family of more than 30 people, together with more than 40 family servants, was attacked, and none of them survived. ”

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but take a breath, there were more than seventy people in total, and all of them were killed. Jingxian is the capital of the world, belonging to Shuntianfu, and it is also at the foot of the Son of Heaven, because it is close to Tianjin Wei, it was originally quite lively, but in recent years, Tongzhou has gradually become lively, and even Chidao is also a direct Beijing division to Tongzhou, so the status of Tianjin Wei has been reduced a lot, even if someone goes to Tianjin Wei, it is also to go to Tongzhou to board the ship, and go down the river to Tianjin Wei, this Beijing County will naturally gradually become depressed.

At least the official road from the former Jingshi to Jingxian is now overgrown with weeds and has been abandoned a lot. But the question is, since Zhou Cheng wants to go back to his hometown, why doesn't he go to Tongzhou and go to Jingxian instead? When you go to Jingxian, is it going to Tianjin Wei?

Of course, Liu Chengfeng knew that Zhou Cheng's death was a huge blow to him, the new commander of the Jinyi Guard. The commander of the Jinyi Guard is not an errand that can be taken on by any person, this is one of the most important positions in the world, and it is no joke if it is in the hands of some people who hide dirt and dirt. As soon as Zhou Cheng died, everyone would first suspect him Liu Chengfeng's head, who else could have this motive, means and ability in this world?

First of all, Zhou Cheng and Liu Chengfeng are mortal enemies, and the two sides were at loggerheads at that banquet, almost to the point where either you die or I live.

Secondly, more than 70 people were all killed, so spicy, it will inevitably be reminiscent of Liu Chengfeng, at least in the eyes of many people, Liu Chengfeng is a villain who kills people without blinking.

In the end, if you want to kill so many people, you must have this strength, to wipe them out, at least hundreds of people and horses need to be mobilized, you can detect the path of the other party in advance, do an ambush in advance, and wait until Zhou Cheng and others pass by the ambush site, and then block all the intersections and kill Zhou Cheng and others.

In this world, who has a common enmity with Zhou Cheng, and at the same time has this ability layout, who else can there be besides Liu Chengfeng? It can be said that almost everyone heard the bad news, and the first person to suspect was Liu Chengfeng.

Liu Chengfeng also felt at this time that Zhu Youjiao's eyes were a little unkind when he looked at him. It's not a question of whether you believe it or not, but Zhu Youzhu can't find the second suspect at all. For Zhu Youzhang, Zhou Cheng is dead when he dies, but the dignified Zuodu Yushi was actually killed all over the house, if it was Liu Chengfeng who killed people, then how could Zhu Youzhu continue to trust a person with such cruel means and such a ruthless heart?

Zhu Youzhang stood up, his face was cold, he didn't ask Liu Chengfeng to explain anything, just looked at Liu Chengfeng in disbelief, Zhu Youzhang's words were almost said in a lonely tone, deep in his heart, he had already regarded Liu Chengfeng as one of the candidates to assist the prince in the future, and the reason was very simple, one is that the relationship between Liu Chengfeng and the prince is already very good, there will never be any mustard between him and the prince, and there will be no separation, and he can do his best to assist. Second, it is Liu Chengfeng's ability and loyalty. And the third, and most important point, Zhu Youzhu believes that although Liu Chengfeng sometimes uses excessive means, and even sometimes does things recklessly, in his opinion, this person is still loyal.

Whether a person is loyal or not is particularly important to Zhu Youzhang, of course he knows what the prince's surname is, the prince's surname is rude, he treats people sincerely, and he is very easy to be deceived by villains, if Liu Chengfeng just seems to be loyal and cunning in his heart, then how dare he let Liu Chengfeng be Zhu Houzhao's assistant.

The palace has already given Liu Chengfeng too many rights, if this person is a cunning person, once he makes a mess, how can the prince deal with it?

There was already a trace of coldness in Zhu Youzhang's eyes, if he was still like a kind elder by Liu Chengfeng's side, but now he had unconsciously revealed the majesty of the emperor, he almost looked at Liu Chengfeng with suspicious eyes, as if he wanted to see through Liu Chengfeng's heart at once.

And Liu Chengfeng finally understood at this time - something happened!

Zhou Cheng's death is no longer a simple murder case, there is a deep background behind it, the old emperor is getting weaker and weaker, and he has begun to pay attention to the problem of Tuogu, but the new monarch is a child who doesn't know the depths, he doesn't have much experience, and some only trust.

At this time, the old emperor and Emperor Taizu's thoughts are actually the same, they are both facing a problem, that is, the prince is young and ignorant of the world, so they must get rid of some careerists and some powerful ministers in the court, Emperor Taizu is more direct, directly carrying a butcher's knife to kill, and all those who may threaten the new emperor are all killed. And at this point, Zhu Youzhu is actually much gentler, although the means are different, but the thoughts are the same, such as the scholar Liu Ji, in fact, Liu Ji was suddenly snubbed, Liu Chengfeng's guess is not just that the emperor thinks that Liu Ji is making small moves behind his back, Liu Ji started by making small moves, such a notorious person, how could the emperor not see through him?

And the reason why Liu Ji was used many times during his reign was not because the emperor had any good impression and trust in Liu Ji, but because he thought that although Liu Ji had a bad character, his ability was not bad, and there would be no problem in controlling such a courtier with Zhu Youji's means. But what about when the emperor is old and sick? The emperor would never dare to leave Liu Ji to the prince, because he was worried that the prince would not be able to control this old fox, so Zhu Youzhu had already begun to systematically reduce Liu Ji's rights and attack Liu Ji in a planned way.

The emperor dismissed some ministers with bad surnames, and also began to select a group of auxiliary ministers, from the emperor let Xie Qian and Ma Wensheng rectify the rule of officials, it can be seen that among the candidates for auxiliary ministers, Xie Qian and Ma Wenshengsheng were absolutely selected, and even Liu Jian and Li Dongyang have become one of the important candidates in the emperor's heart. At the same time, the emperor promoted Liu Chengfeng to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Liu Chengfeng knew that his luck was not bad, and he did enter the emperor's eyes, and there should be his own place among the future auxiliary ministers.

At this juncture, at the most critical juncture, Zhou Cheng died...... This is a great blow to Liu Chengfeng, and for the royal family, what the minister looks at is by no means personal ability, the most important thing is that loyalty, and that loyalty. A dishonest person, a person who maliciously retaliates just because others have offended him, and a person who is so ruthless that he destroys people because of mustard, will never be a candidate for an auxiliary minister.

Once the emperor decides that Liu Chengfeng is not a candidate for auxiliary ministers, the catastrophe is coming, the emperor has not much time now, and it is impossible and no time to reduce his influence and authority, the fastest and most cost-effective way is to completely eliminate the ** in order to prevent future troubles.

Because of this, Zhu Youzhang stood up, looked at Liu Chengfeng with a cautious gaze, motionless, at this moment, no one could see through Zhu Youzhang's thoughts, but Liu Chengfeng vaguely knew that he was here to encounter the biggest crisis since he crossed over. If you don't deal with it well, you may have suspicion of the monarch and the minister.

His eyes did not roll, but looked at Zhu Youzhu gently, he couldn't show a little panic and panic, nor could he show his cunning, because at this time, any slight movement, an inappropriate word, was fatal.

After being silent for a long time, Liu Chengfeng thought about it again and again before he said slowly: "Your Majesty, Zhou Cheng died a strange death. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Youzhang's eyes still did not leave Liu Chengfeng, and his eyes sometimes showed a little regret, sometimes became a little stern, and sometimes seemed to be a little disbelieving.

Liu Chengfeng's impression of Zhu Youzhang is really good, and the interaction between the two sides has indeed produced a very deep feeling, but as the Son of Heaven, Zhu Youzhang of course knows that he can't be emotional, there are too many precedents in history, such as Tang Xuanzong and An Lushan, when An Lushan never rebelled, what a friendship Emperor Xuanzong had with An Lushan, and in the end, it was not that he turned his face.

At this time...... Zhu Youzhu must see through this person, as long as there is a slight mistake, it may have a great impact on the society of the Ming Dynasty.

"How did Zhou Cheng die so strangely?" Zhu Youzhu tried his best to ask Liu Chengfeng in a flat tone, even with a little caution, from the bottom of his heart, Zhu Youzhu really didn't want the person who killed Zhou Cheng to be Liu Chengfeng, or Liu Chengfeng's instigation, and even he faintly hoped in his heart that he would never see this urgency.
