When the gates opened, a sharp whistle sounded somewhere. Immediately, the inner and outer cities were surging, the wolf smoke was billowing out, and the cars and masked single riders were running back and forth in an endless stream. The officers and soldiers did not dare to stop them, and the people who wanted to do business or work in the capital early in the morning, or who had something to do when they went out of the city, also hurriedly took refuge to the side, squeezing the officers and soldiers behind the human wall. Galloping horses, iron hooves knocking on the ground, wheels rolling, axles turning. For a while, everyone was stupid, who was so bold, galloping in the capital, could it be a bandit, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven, where did the bandits come from, and there are so many of them. Some people were surprised to find that all the carriages had the Lu family's flag on them, and the horses also had the Lu family's imprint on their buttocks.

This can be explained, it is the person of the Dragon Shadow General Lu Bing's family, no wonder it is so horizontal, it is estimated that there is something important to do. Although Lu Bing has already removed the name of General Longying, and all levels have also announced it, and even the Di Bao Minbao has repeatedly published it, but the people still like to call Lu Bing the General of Longying, and they can't forget the great joy in the war in those years, this is a rare hearty victory after Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu, and the official propaganda and war are also very consistent, and it does not involve power struggles and public opinion smearing, and this situation is even rarer. And Lu Bing, the general of the dragon shadow who announced to the world, was also imprinted in everyone's hearts, and the people passed it on by word of mouth, through Lu Bing's residence newspaper and people's newspaper, and even spread the recent Lu Bing's affairs in Nanjing all over the country.

Although the Lu family is high-powered, wealthy, and generous, they never oppress the people, and where there is Lu Bing, there is justice, and the image of Jinyiwei has also improved a lot. Lu Bing would never allow his family to run so wildly, and there must be a reason for doing so now. Therefore, many people expressed their understanding, even if there are unreasonable barbarians or pedants who admit death, they can only mumble, after all, although Lu Bing does not bully people. But no matter what the people of the lively Lu family are in the background, they will not end well. He is the shadow of the emperor, the general of the dragon shadow.

Not only the people thought so, but even the soldiers defending the city thought so. The people of officialdom dare not upset the Lu family, and when the time comes, soft knives and hard knives will be used together, and they will have to shed their skin if they don't die. As for what Shangfeng said about serious investigation, it was just someone other than some people. You can't check it out when the emperor comes. So the Lu family ran back and forth but no one held them, only the eunuch of Dongchang shouted in that sharp male duck voice: "Stop them, stop them!" Everybody has to be checked. It could be someone fake. ”

"Stop the Lu family from doing errands to death!" One of the knights in the ranks shouted loudly, and then drew his waist sword, and the horsemen on the tall horses drew their sabers one after another, and the sabers glowed with cold light. Encountering infantry on a flat avenue is invincible. So no one dared to take a step forward. The people of the Lu family are not ambiguous, and when they die, they will have no place to cry. The eunuch of Dongchang yelled sharply, but he was helpless, he didn't dare to go up to stop him, he could only move his mouth and squeak, and the Dongchang fan next to him lowered his head in shame.

This is what happened in Xizhimen, but in fact, there are such people moving at every gate in the inner and outer cities of Beijing. From time to time, a group of people rushed out of the capital and walked away, but there were still more people coming in and out to disturb the audio-visual.

In the midst of the royal palace. Zhu Houxi glared angrily, kicked down a eunuch who was kneeling on the ground, and scolded: "Dog thing." You can't even look at a child. ”

"Your Majesty forgives your sins." The eunuch got up and said tremblingly, Zhu Houxi kicked down several Ouchi guards and the leader of the Imperial Forest Army who were also kneeling on the ground one after another, and said: "I just removed some people from the brocade guards, why are there not enough people, just to find a reason." Not to mention that the child was taken away, if it was returned at night, it would be bright in a few moments, and you would steal people out of the palace in broad daylight, and you didn't even catch the assassin! Waste, a bunch of waste, it's all rice buckets, I cut you down! ”

"Holy Heaven, spare your life." Everyone forgave one after another: "The group of assassins just now is too skilled, the ministers are incompetent, the ministers are incompetent, ask the Holy God for forgiveness." ”

Zhu Houxi hurriedly walked, spun around, and said as if talking to himself: "How does this make me behave" Suddenly his body paused, looked at the people on the ground, and continued to pretend not to care about it, and said: "How can I be worthy of Lu Aiqing, in case Lu Aiqing enters the palace to see me, then how should I explain to him." ”

"You guys!" Zhu Houxi pointed to the few people on the ground, and suddenly saw a eunuch hurrying in outside the door, wearing a python robe and a jade belt around his waist, walking with his head bowed and eyebrows, his steps were extremely light and almost without a sound, and his attitude was very low-key. So Zhu Houxi roared: "Get out of here!" ”

Those people ran out as if they had been granted amnesty. Zhu Houxi's luck was as calm as possible, and he said to the python-robed eunuch: "Speak! ”

"Qi Qi Sheng, Lu Bing's family fled, and the spies who were ambushed around the Lu family were all wiped out, and it was reported that if they did not resist, they would be bound to uniforms, and if they resisted, they would be killed mercilessly, and there was no more word during the period. This time, a total of 50 people were lost, all of them were fatal with a single knife, and the remaining 80 people were rescued. The inner prison said.

"What else do you want to save them, save them so you can surrender again?! Kill them all. Zhu Houxi waved his hand and said.

"Yes." The eunuch was not ambiguous, and his answer was extremely crisp, and there was not the slightest fluctuation in his voice, as if he was going to kill a pig or a dog or even a dead thing.

Zhu Houxi thought for a while and asked, "Where is the Lu family now?" ”

Lu Bing was asking to see him outside the hall, and the Lu family mixed in with the team, wandering back and forth at several city gates, and from time to time a convoy rushed out. A total of ten convoys rushed out, all of which had already been targeted by the minister's men. In addition, Jinyiwei was also charged, and no one should be able to help Lu Bing. The eunuch replied.

"Well done Chen Hong." Zhu Houxi said, this eunuch is the current Dongchang factory Chen Hong.

After thanking him, Chen Hong asked, "Holy Lord, what should be done with the soldiers guarding the inner and outer cities?" ”

"I don't blame them for this, I don't want to be taken advantage of by others to turn my face publicly, so I didn't give an order, and of course I also considered secrecy. So when they saw Lu Bing, they were afraid of his identity and should let him go. Zhu Houxi said: "Has the identity of the assassin who kidnapped Lu Yin been identified?" ”

Chen Hong said: "I'm not sure yet, but it should be related to the Shaolin disciples who stayed in the Hongluo Temple." ”

"Oh? Why haven't they left yet, how did they find theirs? Zhu Houxi was surprised, this time Shaolin also came to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, because Wu Su had other things, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back if he is not in the temple, so he is led into Beijing by Wu Chan, the head of the four King Kongs. Zhu Houyu has never liked Buddhism, and this is inseparable from Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao attaches great importance to Buddhism, and Zhu Houyu suppresses Buddhism. As a major sect of Buddhism in the martial arts, Shaolin was naturally involved, if it weren't for Wu Su's hard work in the past few years, and catching up with the turmoil of the country to help Lu Bing put down the rebellion, this was mixed with the royal sealing, and Shaolin also regained some of its former glory.

But since then, Shaolin has also been labeled as a land system and has always been the focus of surveillance. This time, Shaolin left the capital to exchange Buddhism in Hongluo Temple after celebrating his birthday, Zhu Houxi relaxed his vigilance against them, but Chen Hong did not relax. I only heard Chen Hong say: "The minister thought that this group of thieves and monks would not be safe if they didn't go out of Shuntianfu, so they found a few people to follow, even though most of the people sent by the minister were strong in martial arts, but they were slightly inferior to these thieves and monks, so they didn't dare to approach, and could only monitor from a distance." Today, on the fifth watch, Hongluo Temple was full of people, and six black shadows came out. The time when Lu Yin was taken captive was the time when Lu Yin was taken captive, and the number of people was the same as the number of assassins. In the same way, they returned to Hongluo Temple according to a certain amount of time, and they have not yet come out. After the minister got the information, firstly, let people keep a close eye on it, and secondly, they had already sent additional manpower to surround the Hongluo Temple, as long as they gave an order, they could tighten the encirclement, they were trapped, and it was difficult to fly even if they had wings. ”

"Well, that's the best news I've heard this morning." Zhu Houxi said happily, and then said angrily: "This group of bald donkeys always likes to interfere in political affairs, and they refuse to eat and recite Buddha well, so I will wait for everyone to get all the stolen goods and kill them all." As for the monks, the monks are a fart, they are simply a bunch of traitors. ”

"Holy Lord, the minister has a word that I don't know whether to say or not." Chen Hong asked, and Zhu Houxi nodded: "Speak, but it's okay to say." ”

"The minister thought that when Lu Bing came to see him for a while, the saint could not meet like this, and he needed to do some protection." Chen Hong said.

Zhu Houxi smiled: "Chen Aiqing, you are too worried, if I am a heavily armored guard, wouldn't it be a self-confessing thing to the previous matter." Besides, in addition to thousands of troops and horses in this world, how many people can stop Lu Bing, he won't kill me, if he wanted to kill me, he would have killed me a long time ago. However, I will send some more people outside the hall to remember that you are loyal, and I will destroy Lu Bing when the time comes, and I will do whatever it takes, just like holding that person. Zhu Houxi's cautious eyes didn't understand, even to Chen Hong at this time, he didn't tell the truth.

"Yes." Chen Hong took his order and retreated.

Although he was on guard, for the eunuchs, or the ministers, Zhu Houxi felt that he could still be entrusted. After all, they are just physically crippled eunuchs, even if they have ambitions, they will not be able to pass on their ancestry, the danger is much less than that of foreign officials, and the possibility of seeking power and usurping the throne is relatively low. Of course, it's not that there isn't, don't say that the Ming Dynasty alone said that there was a precedent for eunuchs to rebel, didn't Cao Jixiang just want to help the adopted righteous son usurp the throne and become the eunuch emperor. But in general, this group of eunuchs who served by Zhu Houxi's side should be used a lot, a foreign minister and an internal minister, and the distance between the relationship can be seen from the words inside and outside.
