Chapter 177: Masters

Gonggong Wu personally went to invite Zhu Sheng.

The emperor didn't let anyone else come in to serve, leaning on the back of the chair and closing his eyes to recuperate.

His mind was full of all kinds of forks and secret passages leading to all corners of the capital.

Many of the exits are located in nondescript mansions.

According to Huo Yixiao, the decoration of these houses is simple, there is no popularity, and most of the neighbors are empty.

That's why these secret passages can exist without the existence of ghosts.

But the two princes' mansions are different.

Zhu Sheng's mansion is not as good as the imperial city, but there are only so many places in total, and he doesn't know that he has been dug all the way to the wings......

Hardly possible.

In other words, his second son is very likely to know clearly that there is a secret passage in the house and a secret passage in the city.

Perhaps, the excavation of the secret passage, he is still involved.

The emperor opened his eyes, looked at Huo Yixiao, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Huo Yixiao is sipping tea.

He was busy all night, and he couldn't even drink hot tea, and he was a little sleepy at this time, so he just drank tea to refresh himself.

Moreover, there is no need to worry about any problems with the tea leaves in the imperial study.

Hearing the emperor ask him, Huo Yixiao raised his head from the hot air, and did not answer immediately, but threw the question back: "What is the one you are asking?" ”

The emperor smiled: "You have to talk to me so well?" Are you still afraid of saying the wrong thing? In this imperial study, you are the one who has the most courage. ”

Huo Yixiao put down the teacup, lowered his eyes, and said word by word: "If it's just me, I can say whatever I have."

If you say it incorrectly, you will be punished or scolded, and I deserve it.

Today's matter is related to His Royal Highness, and it is not a trivial matter like before, so I don't dare to mess with my beak. ”

The emperor touched his beard and nodded slightly: "I know what you mean." I don't pursue it, say whatever you want. ”

"You really want to ask," Huo Yixiao pursed his lips, "My idea is to wait for Shuntianfu to understand the case, last night I arrested so many people, and forced the two sons of Lord Fang's family to attack Huo Yixuan, Master Qi is also there, and listen to what these prisoners have to say." ”

The emperor nodded thoughtfully.

After a pause, Huo Yixiao said again: "Of course, no matter what Lord Qi and the others say, it is to listen to an explanation."

What they explain may be true, or it may be false, or it may be a mixed bag.

Everything has to be decided by the emperor. ”

Hearing him say this, the emperor didn't ask again.

Don't look at what Huo Yixiao said several times, in fact, in the final analysis, it means saying nothing.

In this matter, Huo Yixiao became extremely cautious.

After a cup of tea, Huo Yixiao got up and retired.

The emperor looked at him heavily, but in the end he didn't stop him.

Zhu Sheng followed Gonggong Wu over.

Since he was grounded last time, he has never been out of the mansion, and today he was summoned by the emperor, Zhu Sheng was even a little excited.

Perhaps, the lockdown will be lifted today.

Entering the imperial study, Zhu Sheng knelt down in a proper manner: "The son of the emperor greets his father." ”

"Get up," the emperor said lightly, "come and take a look at these two things." ”

It was probably because the emperor's tone was too steady, and Zhu Sheng didn't hear the slightest anger from it, so he was defenseless until he understood the two pictures.

A city defense and a secret passage were clearly spread out in front of his eyes.

"Erchen......" Zhu Sheng's throat rolled.

The emperor's voice still did not fluctuate: "Are you familiar with this secret passage?" ”

"Erchen, Erchen don't know this thing." Zhu Sheng said.

"The entrance is in your wing, you tell me, you don't know?" The emperor's voice suddenly raised, "Do you take me for a fool?" ”

Thump.

Zhu Sheng fell to his knees.

"You tell me, what do you want to do when you dig such a secret passage?" The emperor asked sharply.

Zhu Sheng shook his head vigorously, but he couldn't say anything.

"I'll ask you again, did you do the case in Canglangzhuang?" The emperor asked.

Zhu Sheng's body trembled.

The emperor can see clearly, there is no answer, but he already has an answer.

"If you want to kill Huo Yixuan, you're going for Yixiao, right?" The emperor took a deep breath and barely calmed his emotions, "What are you trying to do?" You and Yixiao have a falling out, what's the benefit?

Things that are not beneficial, you do it again and again, without the slightest lesson learned.

Sheng'er, I am very disappointed in you. ”

Zhu Sheng looked at the emperor, his eyes were red.

The word "disappointed" fell, heavier than any rebuke.

The emperor glanced at Zhu Sheng again: "Let Gonggong Wu send you back, and in the future, stay in the mansion well, and don't do anything again." ”

Zhu Sheng sat slumped on the ground.

This time I stayed well, and it meant something completely different from the previous one.

Previously, it was just a confinement, but this time, it was a solitary confinement.

Zhu Sheng himself knew that if he didn't have those two maps, he could make up ten or twenty reasons to get out of Canglangzhuang.

What is the evidence, and others are not allowed to frame him?

What really kept him out of the possibility was the map.

No king can tolerate his city's defenses being accurately handled, let alone the underground of the capital being dug up like that.

Even if the person who does this is the emperor's son.

He committed the emperor's taboo.

Zhu Sheng was sent out by Gonggong Wu, and he was overjoyed when he came, but he was not left behind.

On the other hand, although Huo Yixiao left earlier, the disposal of Zhu Sheng by the imperial study also reached his ears.

He returned to Xihua Hutong and slept for a while.

At noon, the Xu brothers and Huo Yixuan came over together.

Huo Yixuan, as a victim of Canglangzhuang, went to Shuntianfu in the morning to recognize people, and listened to the Xu family for a while.

"That Lord Qi confessed to His Second Highness," Xu Qirun said, "It's exactly the same as we thought." But I always felt that something was wrong, and these people explained it too happily. Especially the one surnamed Qi, his martial arts are not weak, and he is said to be a hard-working person, but he can recruit faster than anything else. ”

Xu Qi said: "Maybe it's a recruit or not, there is no difference, just recruit and suffer less." ”

"I don't think it's unusual for His Royal Highness to do such a thing with the tendon of His Royal Highness," Huo Yixuan said, "Of course, I don't know if there is someone else's handwriting in this." ”

Zhu Sheng is impulsive and easy to provoke, which is the weakness of his character.

But it's too rough.

After Lord Qi failed to poison him, he actually chose a house with a secret entrance to eat and drink.

Even if he finally escapes along the secret passage, the connection between the secret passage and Zhu Sheng will be exposed.

Huo Yixiao sneered: "He poisoned Zhu Sheng, but he said that he only has one master?" He said 'masters' over and over again that day, Zhu Sheng was his master, and he also had other masters. ”
