In a secret room in the Chengguo Mansion, there were no windows on three sides, and the only door was also closed firmly, and no light could penetrate at all.

Zhu Chunchen didn't know how long he had been locked up, so he could only guess from the consumption of the oil lamp. However, this is probably very unreliable, because a child like him, who has lived a good life since childhood, has never cared about such a simple and trivial matter as how long a bowl of oil can be burned.

- Isn't the prince going to let me go? Why are you still holding me here?

Zhu Chunchen curled up in the corner, his fingers couldn't help but tremble, and his heart was uneasy.

Bang dang!

The door of the secret room finally opened, and a sturdy figure turned his back to the firelight outside, and for a moment he couldn't see his face clearly.

"Cheng Guogong." The strong man shouted, and stepped into the door, it was Wu Changchun who had taken a nap.

"Is there an order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Zhu Chunchen crawled over and hugged Wu Changchun's thigh, his voice was full of expectation.

Wu Changchun kicked him away, let the soldiers behind him carry the torture instruments in, put them in front of Zhu Chunchen one by one, and explained: "This is a cannon brand, once it is printed on the grandfather's body, it will be dry skin and scorched flesh, and you can't survive, you can't die." This is a bamboo stick, and I will insert it into my grandfather's fingernails later......"

"Strong! Commander! Zhu Chunchen's lips trembled in fright: "Prince, Your Highness, he can't do this to me!" I've already donated all my possessions! Your Highness! Zhu Chunchen roared hysterically, as if Zhu Cihong could really hear it.

Wu Changchun waited for him to howl until his voice became hoarse, and then said: "Your Highness is soft-hearted, I originally wanted to let you go, but you hid your property and didn't report it." Alas, you should know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, and he hates others to bluff him the most, isn't this self-inflicted? ”

"I—I know I'm wrong!" When Zhu Chunchen knew that he had hope of survival, of course he had to prepare for a comeback in the future, where would he be willing to hand over all his net worth? Who knew that the prince actually found out, most of them were those subordinates who betrayed themselves in order to survive.

"It's too late to know what was wrong." Wu Changchun said coldly: "You still have a family, as well as sons and grandsons. 10,000 taels per head, how many would you like to buy? The more it comes out, the more blood. If you still dare to deceive Your Highness, not only will you be killed, but even the title of 'Chengguo Gong' will no longer exist in the world. ”

Zhu Chunchen was not originally a descendant of Chengguo. His cousin Zhu Dingchen had no queen, so his father succeeded him, and then passed it on to him. After really tasting the life of the Guogong, he knew how different the partial house and the descendants were, and it was impossible for relatives in other houses to occupy this "Chengguo Gong".

Not to mention letting the removal of this national title happen to him.

Zhu Chunchen had even thought that if the crown prince was bent on removing the title of the prince of this country, what unbearable sewage would be poured on him.

"I'll buy it!" Zhu Chunchen shouted, "I still have silver in my outer house, and some of them are silver!" ”

Wu Changchun turned his back, fiddled with the soldering iron with one hand, and made a crackling sound while hitting the charcoal, while pursing his lips and snickering: It was so easy to cheat out, it was really easy and comfortable.

Zhu Chunchen was afraid of missing this opportunity, so he reported all the gold, silver and jewelry buried in the outer house and Zhuangzi. He was afraid that it would not be enough, and he even told the location of his Shou Cave, where there was a jewelry tomb of nearly 10,000 taels in the golden well.

Wu Changchun ordered people to record them one by one, reported them to His Royal Highness the Prince, and said to Zhu Chunchen: "You will definitely not be able to live this door today, in order to have a good identity for future generations, you will be honest, where else is the silver hidden?" ”

"This time it's really gone!" Zhu Chunchen cried.

Wu Changchun nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, brother, I won't embarrass Grandpa, how does Grandpa want to go?" ”

"Ask the military master to give me a good time." Zhu Chunchen knew that he would inevitably die, so he sat on the ground and cried.

Wu Changchun glanced at him with a little pity, stepped out of the door, and said to the two soldiers at the door: "The hour has come." ”

When the two of them heard this, they came out with a lime box in their hands, and opened the lid for Wu Changchun to see.

Inside is Zhu Chunchen's head.

Wu Changchun nodded and ordered: "Put it away." "Go and report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

……

The Dingguo Mansion is also brightly lit, and it is difficult to sleep all night. The women of the family in the house are all dressed and holding sticks, as if facing a great enemy. Those who don't know think that they are preventing the plague, but those who know understand that this is guarding against the East Palace.

"This East Palace is too vicious! Aren't you afraid of killing ministers like this! Xu Yunzhen, the Duke of Dingguo, walked heavily in the small study, and saw that he was about to hit the bookshelf before he turned around, followed by another step of crushing the floor tiles.

A descendant of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan in Dingguo.

As a person from the Ming Dynasty, if anyone doesn't know Xu Da, he is either a mountain village man who has not been out of the deep depression for decades, or a young child is a fool.

Xu Da, a god-like figure of the Ming Dynasty, was named the king of Zhongshan, his eldest son Xu Hui was the Duke of Wei, and his youngest son Xu Zengshou was named the Duke of Dingguo. Wei Guogong and his family stayed in Nanjing, and they guarded Nanjing for several generations. With the relocation of the capital to Beijing with Chengzu, the Dingguo Gong family took root in Beijing, and it was also a dealer who participated in the Beijing camp in turn.

Xu Yunzhen has Xu Da's blood flowing in his body, and he also knows the disadvantages of Jingying, and of course he is concerned about the changes that the Chengguo Gong family encountered. He is a person who does not believe in the destiny of heaven, so he naturally does not believe in legends such as the arrival of the plague god, so he pointed to the source as soon as possible, and revealed the truth that the East Palace used the plague to carry out slaughter.

Being able to see the truth does not mean that a person is superior, but more importantly, he can use the truth to seek good fortune and avoid evil.

Xu Yunzhen summoned the staff of the palace, and many of them were highly talented and talented people who were pinned on him, but in the face of this thunderous blow from the East Palace, they were all silent, and they couldn't think of the idea of containment at all.

"What to do!" Xu Yunzhen almost roared, "What if our Dingguo Mansion is besieged tonight!" ”

The crowd remained silent.

Finally, someone stood up and said, "Grandpa, there is a way to cure the symptoms and cure the root cause of this matter." The way to treat the symptoms is to guard the mansion first and prevent the guards of the East Palace from entering the door. As long as it is kept for three or five days, and there are no dead people in the house, then the theory of the plague will naturally be broken, and Bixia will definitely not let the East Palace mess around. ”

When Xu Yunzhen heard this, he suddenly opened his mouth, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Sir's words are very true!" Cheng Guogong was destroyed in luring wolves into the house, and there was no plague and there was also a plague. What else can sir teach me, come quickly! ”

The man looked embarrassed and said: "The student's qualifications are stupid, and he can only think of this method of curing the symptoms. ”

Xu Yunzhen stepped forward and grabbed the man's arm, and said excitedly: "There are many discussions about the high fairness in the house, but now only Mr. can make a decision, why is Mr. humble?" Please sir teach me! ”

"This ......" The man finally raised his head and said, "Grandpa, if you say that you are a good talent, isn't there one in the house?" Why do you give up the pearl and go to the fish? ”

"Oh? The old man was ashamed, he didn't know that there was such a high-level talent to live in the cold house, and asked the gentleman for advice. Xu Yunzhen said respectfully.

"Speaking of which, that person is still a relative of my grandfather, it is Xu Dian Xu Jingxing!"
