Lin Pingzhi looked at Chu Yi with a calm expression, nodded slightly, and said: "Back to Your Highness, when the subordinates arrived at the Meng family's mansion, the Meng family had already been slaughtered, even if the subordinates made a move, now the Meng family is only a few people left!" ”

The corners of Chu Yi's mouth curled slightly, and he said with a little curiosity: "Oh, the Meng family has been entrenched here for decades, and it can be said that it is the biggest land snake, but someone dares to do something to the Meng family?" ”

Lin Pingzhi's expression was straight, he glanced at Yu Dayou on the side and said: "Speaking of the people who attacked the Meng family, if General Yu Dayou knew about it, he would definitely be extremely happy!" ”

Yu Dayou was stunned for a moment, then reacted, as if he had thought of something, looked at Lin Pingzhi, and said with a little surprise: "Could it be that the other party is the assassin who is being arrested?" ”

In addition to this, Yu Dayou really couldn't think of any other possibility, looking at Lin Pingzhi's expression, the other party was the assassin who assassinated Chu Yi not long ago.

Chu Yi said that the Meng family has been entrenched in Shanghai County for decades, and it can be said that it is the largest family in the county, and no one in the local forces can pose any threat to the Meng family.

Now that the Meng family has been destroyed, it is conceivable that the people who can do such things must be extremely vicious and lawless.

Thinking of the person who assassinated Chu Yi not long ago, he escaped without a trace, and now that he thinks about it, it is very likely that the other party has infiltrated the county seat, but he doesn't know why the other party ran to the Meng family's mansion to exterminate the Meng family.

Lin Pingzhi nodded slightly and said, "As General Yu guessed, the other party's group of people is the group of murderers who assassinated His Highness in the harbor. ”

A glint flashed in his eyes, and Yu Dayou looked at Lin Pingdao: "Where are these people now?" ”

Lin Pingzhi said with a smile: "It has been handed over to the people of Jinyiwei and Dongchang to take care of, the other party can do such a big thing, obviously there are helpers, and more importantly, these people are outlaws, it is impossible to run to assassinate His Highness for no reason, someone must have instructed them to do it." ”

Chu Yi looked at Lin Pingzhi and Yu Dayou analyzing there, bowed slightly, waved his hand and said, "You two will be responsible for this matter!" ”

In a dark secret room, Wang Hai and the two small leaders of the Haikou who were tied up were tortured and inhuman.

And in front of them, Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyi Weilishi looked at a few people with disdain, maybe Wang Hai and the two little leaders can be regarded as murderers, but compared to the ruthless words, Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyi Weilishi are much more ruthless than them.

Especially in terms of torture, even an iron man will be heartbroken in the face of these fans.

It was just a slight move, and Wang Hai and the two little leaders of the Haikou explained everything on the spot, and it can be said that even when they wet the bed when they were children.

Lin Pingzhi and Yu Dayou, who were sitting on the side, looked at the confession in their hands, and the two glanced at each other, and heard Yu Dayou say excitedly: "I'll take someone to arrest these pirates." ”

Lin Pingzhi glanced at the confession and said: "In this case, the behind-the-scenes commanders that Wang Hai confessed will be determined by my Highness, and then by Your Highness!" ”

The two left the chamber and went their separate ways.

In the study, Chu Yi put down the scroll in his hand and looked up at Lin Pingzhi: "But has there been any progress?" ”

To be honest, Chu Yi didn't pay attention to the so-called assassins at all, and as for the identity of the person who instructed those assassins, Chu Yi could roughly guess a little, but with his current status, these things didn't make him take it to heart.

Lin Pingzhi informed Chu Yi of the results of the interrogation, and Chu Yi smiled indifferently: "It's just a group of maritime merchants who are unwilling to lose their interests, hand them over to Jinyiwei and Dongchang, find out their identities, and exterminate their families." ”

To put it mildly, the fates of at least a dozen families have changed dramatically.

As for whether Dongchang and Jinyiwei can find out the identities of these people, don't underestimate the strength of Jinyiwei, if you really want to find out, with the cooperation of Wang Hai, the sea overlord, I dare not say that everyone will be found out, at least we can find out a seven, seven, eighty, eight.

Looking at the direction of the Jingshi, the corners of Chu Yi's mouth showed a sneer and murmured: "When this king returns, some people in the capital should panic!" ”

Jingshi, Forbidden City.

Under the influence of Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao became much more diligent, and he would personally go to the court to listen to the government.

In the majestic and grand hall, hundreds of civil and military officials were lined up on both sides, drooping their heads one by one, trying to shrink their bodies, as if they wanted to hide themselves.

I saw Zhu Houzhao, who was the son of the Great Tomorrow, standing there, just above the ground under the imperial steps, a few pieces were scattered on the ground messily, and Zhu Houzhao had an angry look on his face, just looking at this situation, he knew that Zhu Houzhao was angry.

There was a bit of coldness in his eyes, and the condescending Zhu Houzhao looked coldly at the crowd present and sneered: "Chu Daban has just come back, and he was shelled before he even landed, lawless, it's just lawless!" ”

Not long ago, Zhu Houzhao received a secret recital from Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Chu Yi, and the news of Jinyiwei and Dongchang clearly stated the assassination of Chu Yi.

Zhu Houzhao is so angry!

That's more than a dozen cannons, if it weren't for Chu Yi's life, would it have been blasted to pieces by the cannons at this moment.

Thinking that Chu Yi might die, Zhu Houzhao felt a pain in his heart, from Chu Yi being selected to serve Zhu Houzhao in the East Palace to Zhu Houzhao ascending the throne as emperor, plus Chu Yi has done so many things for Zhu Houzhao over the years, the relationship between the two is far from being as simple as ordinary people imagine.

Zhu Houzhao may not have discovered it himself, in his heart, he already regarded Chu Yi as his greatest support, it can be said that without Chu Yi, he would not have the position of being in power today.

It was precisely because of Chu Yi's deterrence, so the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to have the slightest abnormality, which made Zhu Houzhao really feel what the emperor was supreme, and the Son of Heaven was angry, and the blood flowed.

In the past, it was just that, how long has it been since no one dared to jump out to the detriment of Chu Yi, and suddenly learned the news that Chu Yi was almost killed by a cannon bombardment, and Zhu Houzhao, who has always been magnanimous, was rarely thundered and angry.

Squinting his eyes, Zhu Houzhao's gaze fell on a figure in the ranks of the ministers of civil and military affairs, it was none other than Yang Yiqing, the secretary of the military department.

Noticing Zhu Houzhao's murderous gaze, Yang Yiqing smiled bitterly in his heart, stepped forward, and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, may Your Majesty punish you!" ”

Zhu Houzhao, who stared at Yang Yiqing with a cold face, said indifferently: "What are you guilty of?" ”

Yang Yiqing gritted his teeth and said: "The minister, as the secretary of the military department, was negligent on duty, causing the country's heavy weapons to be lost from the arsenal, almost injuring His Royal Highness the Martial King, and the minister is guilty......"

In that secret recital, it was clearly explained that the cannonballs used by the group of pirates who assassinated Chu Yi were flowering shells.

It can be said that the flowering bomb has always been strictly controlled, just like the strong crossbow, every piece and every one of them must be recorded clearly, after all, if such a murder weapon falls out, it will inevitably cause great harm.

The Manchu Dynasty Wenwu looked at Yang Yiqing lying on the ground, some showed sympathy, and some showed a vague look of schadenfreude.

As an upstart in the court, Yang Yiqing, as a supporter of Chu Yi, was in charge of the military department, and was named the prince of the country together with Wang Shouren.

The influence and power of the new princes of the current dynasty are by no means comparable to the old brands of the princes of Dingguo and Wei, who have inherited the shadow of their ancestors.

Under the influence of Chu Yi, Zhengde gave birth to a considerable number of upstarts, which were faintly headed by Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing.

As a new upstart, he will naturally be excluded and hostile by the elderly.

Now that Chu Yi has been assassinated, Yang Yiqing has been questioned by the Son of Heaven for suffering from the pond fish, and some people are naturally happy to watch the excitement and gloat on the side.

Wang Shouren, who was standing on the side, stepped forward with a straight face and said to the Son of Heaven who was still in anger: "Your Majesty, the minister has a word!" ”

Glancing at Wang Shouren lightly, Zhu Houzhao flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Speak!" ”

Wang Shouren said slowly: "His Royal Highness King Wu was assassinated, we are worried, especially the person who carried out the assassination actually used such a heavy weapon as a flowering bomb, this case is only afraid that it is not so simple, and I implore Your Majesty to immediately issue an order, allocate competent manpower, strictly investigate this case, and be sure to find out the people with evil intentions hidden in the court." ”

With a narrowing of his eyes, Zhu Houzhao said with murderous intent: "Investigate, I want to investigate to the end, no matter who is involved, I will never forgive!" ”

Listening to the murderous intent between Zhu Houzhao's words, the civil and military forces present only felt that the temperature in the hall seemed to drop by more than ten degrees all of a sudden, and they only felt chills all over their bodies.

Many officials were worried and looked at the angry Zhu Houzhao in horror.

Zhu Houzhao may have acted absurdly, but he is not a tyrannical monarch, so the Chinese military forces of the DPRK do not have much fear of Zhu Houzhao.

If they really want to talk about it, they would rather face Zhu Houzhao, a magnanimous son, than face Chu Yi, who is known as a killer.

But now they realized what it means to be angry and bloody.

Fools know that the assassination of Chu Yi this time is only afraid of setting off a bloody storm in the capital.

The other side can even get out such a national weapon as a bullet, and it is conceivable that this is by no means something that one official or a few officials can do, but must be a huge force.

Zhu Houzhao's gaze swept over the crowd present, and said coldly: "Wang Shouren ordered you to transfer people from Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to supervise this case!" ”

Wang Shouren said solemnly: "The minister's order! ”

With his eyes fixed, Zhu Houzhao continued: "Qian Ning listens to the order!" ”

Qian Ning, who was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was dressed in a python suit, and when he heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Minister Qian Ning greets Your Majesty!" ”

Glancing at Qian Ning, Zhu Houzhao said lightly: "After going down to the court, I will go to see Cao Shaoqin and tell Cao Shaoqin that I want Dongchang and Jinyi Wei to move me, I will raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while, I really give you the right to cut first and then play, if you don't find out about this case, you two won't come to see me!" ”

Qian Ning couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and the pressure of the mountain rushed to his face, this was the first time he heard Zhu Houzhao say such heavy words, with his understanding of Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao was really angry.

"The minister will vouch for the head of the item, and the case will be investigated, if not, the minister will apologize for the crime with death!"

There was silence above the court, and everyone couldn't help but feel a chill down their backs when they listened to the words of Qian Ning, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Wang Shouren's supervision, it is conceivable that the capital will inevitably set off boundless waves next, and I don't know how many people will be implicated in this case, how many families will be destroyed, and how many people will have to go through the vegetable market.

If it is said that it is something else, the right of the Son of Heaven to give Jinyiwei and Dongchang the right to cut first and then play will inevitably provoke the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty.

But at this moment, in the face of the angry Zhu Houzhao, everyone shrunk their necks one by one, but no one dared to stand up against it.

However, everyone is also afraid in their hearts, the rights of Jinyiwei and Dongchang are very scary, that is, the Son of Heaven and Chu Yi are restrained, so Jinyiwei and Dongchang have only restrained their actions.

Now the Son of Heaven has the meaning of releasing the two vicious dogs of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, which can be said to be everyone's own danger, who is not afraid of when Dongchang and Jinyiwei will come to the door!

Although no one dared to stand up against it, many people looked at the first civil official, the first assistant of the cabinet, Jiao Fang.

Since Jiao Fang joined Chu Yi's disciples, except for following Liu Jin a few years ago, when Chu Yi gained power, Jiao Fang was firmly in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, and it was many years in a flash.

Over the years, Jiao Fang has fully cooperated with Chu Yi, although Jiao Fang's own ability is not as good as Sanyang Shoufu, but in the eyes of Chu Yi and the Son of Heaven, Jiao Fang is the best cabinet chief.

Jiao Fang, who has gray hair, is already old, although he is in good spirits, but the years are not forgiving, and Jiao Fang is obviously much older.

Jiao Fang, who was standing there with the old god, squinted his eyes, as if he was dozing off at first glance, but at this time he coughed lightly, took a step forward, and saluted to the Son of Heaven: "Old minister, please see Your Majesty!" ”

For Jiao Fang, Zhu Houzhao is still quite dependent, seeing Jiao Fang speak, the anger on Zhu Houzhao's face has disappeared a little, and his voice is a little warmer: "What does Jiao Ge have to say?" ”

Jiao Fang said slowly: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the assassination of His Royal Highness King Wu must not be hasty, and it must be investigated to the end, and the minister thinks that His Majesty should ask His Royal Highness King Wu's opinion, after all, His Royal Highness King Wu is the real victim!" ”

Hearing Jiao Fang say this, everyone was expecting Jiao Fang to open his mouth to persuade the Son of Heaven to take back his fate, and at least he had to restrain Jinyiwei and Dongchang a little.

As a result, he didn't expect Jiao Fang not only to not persuade the Son of Heaven, but to push out such a killing god as Chu Yi.

What kind of temperament is Chu Yi, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, if people offend me, they will be destroyed!

It can be said that this is the impression that Chu Yi left on everyone, just Jinyiwei and Dongchang are enough to make people worry, if they add one more Chu Yi, wouldn't they be unable to sleep at night!

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up and said: "What the Qing family said is very true, why did I forget it, spread my will, and quickly invite Chu Daban to return to Beijing!" ”

A good court meeting was originally a day for a group of civil and military officers to speak freely and discuss major events in the world, but suddenly broke out such a shocking news that Chu Yi had been assassinated, and all things were suddenly not so important compared to this matter.

The court was dispersed, and the cabinet office was located.

In a spacious and bright room, several pavilion elders gathered together at this moment, one by one, frowning.

There was a sound of footsteps, and several pavilion elders looked up, only to see Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming and Jiao Fang walking over.

Seeing a few people, everyone couldn't help but get up, after going down to the court, Zhu Houzhao left Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming and Jiao Fang, and the elders of the pavilion were naturally anxious to know what the attitude of the Son of Heaven was.

Above the court, Zhu Houzhao broke out into a thunderous rage, and even ordered to strictly investigate the case of assassinating Chu, many people know that if this case is really investigated, I am afraid that it will be widely implicated, and I don't know how many people will be implicated at that time, it is not a shocking case comparable to the Hu Weiyong case and the Lanyu case during the Taizu period!

How big the case is, to be honest, depends on Zhu Houzhao's determination, if Zhu Houzhao just stops at the point, then they have nothing to worry about, but if Zhu Houzhao really wants to make Chu Yi angry, then even if they are afraid that they are not careful, they may be involved, how can they not care about it.

"Elder Jiaoge, Yang Shangshu, Lord Wang, Your Majesty ...... there"

As for the meaning of the elders, Jiao Fang and the others naturally knew very well in their hearts, glanced at each other, and only heard Jiao Fang say slowly: "Everyone, what is the relationship between Your Majesty and the Grand Administrator, I don't need me to say, I think everyone knows in their hearts that when such a thing happens, Your Majesty still remembers to handle it in accordance with the judicial procedure, which is already a great tolerance......

Everyone sighed in their hearts, and couldn't help but think that the generals up and down the Beijing camp and the Tengxiang Siwei camp were all cronies installed by Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao.

Thinking that when their civilian clique was at its peak of power, even the Son of Heaven would not want to be easily mobilized if the soldiers and horses in Beijing did not have the nod of the cabinet, but now, the efforts of several generations of the civilian clique were destroyed by Chu Yi alone, and they couldn't even mobilize a single army.

Chen Ding was selfless in his heart, shook his head and sighed when he heard this: "Now I can only hope that Your Majesty will be magnanimous, otherwise, I don't know how many officials will be missing in Beijing!" ”

Having said that, but who of you pavilion elders doesn't know the weight of the relationship between Chu Yi and the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that if Zhu Houzhao is assassinated by himself, he will not be so thunderous and angry, and a bloody storm is destined to be inescapable.

Wang Hua sighed lightly and said: "That's it, it's the so-called self-inflicted sin, you can't live, the chief manager is a one-word prince, and he has made great contributions to the society, and those who assassinate the prince and marquis are not a pity to die!" ”
