Chapter 975: Comforting the Son of Heaven

Zhao Xiong has always believed that Zhu Houzhao, who is the Son of Heaven, will not be able to endure Chu Yi's existence, and will definitely try his best to remove Chu Yi's threat, so Zhao Xiong will be full of hope, and even united Xu Cheng and a group of others to pin the hope of revenge on the Son of Heaven.

However, people are not as good as heaven, they never dreamed that Zhu Houzhao would be so convinced of Chu Yi, and they saw the scene above the court.

Xu Ying and Chen Kai were just targeting Chu Yi, and the Son of Heaven was furious on the spot, but they had never seen such an angry scene of Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao has always been the face of a benevolent gentleman, so when Zhu Houzhao ordered Xu Ying and Chen Kai to be beaten to death in court, the shock to Zhao Xiong and these people can be imagined.

Zhao Xiong knelt in the ancestral hall at the moment, looking at the tablets, but the fear in his heart was difficult to eliminate.

The Son of Heaven has ordered Jinyiwei and Dongchang to investigate Xu Cheng and Chen Kai, and he has been quite close to Xu Cheng in the past few days, and he is not the only one who knows this.

Because Xu Cheng is a servant of the first department, it can be said that he is a high-powered existence, and it is naturally a good thing to be able to get into a relationship with Xu Cheng, a promising official, but at this time, it has become a life talisman.

Just when Zhao Xiong entered the ancestral hall, a team of Jinyi guards appeared in front of Zhao Xiong's mansion under the leadership of a stall leader.

Few of the angry Dongchang fans just stood there, let alone the two servants guarding the door in front of the Zhao Mansion.

When the two servants saw a team of Dongchang Fanzi appear at the door, they fell to the ground in fright, where did they dare to stop this group of fierce and vicious people.

Zhu stall head can be regarded as a small leader in Dongchang, at this time, he glanced at the two servants with a fierce face, kicked on the gate of the Zhao Mansion, and kicked the gate of the Zhao Mansion on the spot.

A team of Dongchang Fanzi rushed directly into the Zhao Mansion compound under the leadership of Zhu Stalltou.

Zhao Mansion said that it is not big, it is not small, I wish the stall head these people to break into the mansion and make a noise, it is not small at all, Zhao Xiong's relatives were shocked one by one and ran out, some people relied on Zhao Mansion is an official eunuch, and they wanted to get angry, but when they saw that the person who came turned out to be Dongchang Fanzi, they rolled their eyes and fainted in fright.

Fools know that it is not a good thing for them to be able to let Dongchang kill them, and if they don't do it, the Zhao family will be destroyed because of this.

Zhu stall head just coldly swept the frightened Zhao family members, for these family members, Zhu stall head didn't care about it at all, his task here was to arrest Zhao Xiong, Xu Cheng's comrade.

"Where is Zhao Xiong?"

The frightened crowd listened to Zhu Tantou's question, you look at me, I look at you, everyone stared at each other, and they didn't know how to answer Zhu Tantou's question.

The Pu knife in his hand was unsheathed, pointed at one of them, and shouted at the head of the stall: "Don't you want to shield the thief?" ”

As a result, these people listened to Zhu Stalltou's words and were directly paralyzed to the ground in fright, their eyes were blank, where could they answer his words, who made the title of the anti-thief in Zhu Stall's mouth too scary.

That's a thief, especially from the mouth of Dongchang, which almost means that their Zhao family has no room to turn over.

glanced at the group coldly, and waved his hand to the head of the stall and said, "Search for me, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to arrest Zhao Xiong, a thief, for me." ”

Suddenly, except for the dozen or so fans who stayed behind to guard the family members, the rest of the people began to search in the mansion.

Zhao Xiong, as one of the court officials, was almost certainly an official of Xu Cheng's party, and Dongchang naturally sent the most effective manpower.

Zhu is just the leader on the surface, but among the Dongchang fans, there is one person who is extremely eye-catching, and it is Xu Ning, who came to this Fang Shijie with Chu Yi not long ago.

Xu Ning's cultivation has already reached the realm of half-step heaven and man, and he can step into the realm of heaven and man in one step just when the opportunity comes.

It's just a cup of tea, and the fans who went on order came back one by one to return to the head of the stall, obviously there was no trace of Zhao Xiong.

Zhu stall head couldn't help frowning, the news they got, Zhao Xiong returned to the mansion since the end of the court, and never went out again, but now the can't find any trace of Zhao Xiong, so there is only one possibility why this situation occurs, that is, Zhao Xiong is very likely to be hidden.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu stall head saluted Xu Ning and said, "Please also ask Lord Xu to help one or two." ”

Xu Ning was sent to prevent accidents, and now he can't find any traces of Zhao Xiong for a while, of course, this is not to say that the people in Dongchang are not capable of finding Zhao Xiong, but this obviously takes a little time, but Zhu stall head is in a hurry to catch Zhao Xiong back, so in order to prevent any accidents after a long time, Zhu stall head directly asked Xu Ning to take action.

Xu Ning nodded slightly, his heart moved, and the huge Zhao Mansion was instantly enveloped by his divine thoughts.

With the strength of the divine thoughts of a half-step heavenly and human powerhouse, even the wind and grass within a radius of a few miles can be sensed, not to mention that it is just a Zhao Mansion.

Soon, the aura of all the people in the Zhao Mansion appeared in Xu Ning's heart, and in an instant, Xu Ning locked on a place.

I saw Xu Ning poke the head of the Champions League and said: "There is a secret room under the study, and Zhao Xiong is in that secret room." ”

Zhu was overjoyed when he heard this, arched his hand towards Xu Ning, and said, "Little ones, catch Zhao Xiong out for me." ”

Zhao Xiong, who was hiding in the underground secret room, suddenly heard a rush and chaotic footsteps overhead, and soon there was a bang, the door of the secret room opened, and a Dongchang fanzi in a robe appeared in Zhao Xiong's sight.

When he saw several Dongchang fans staring at him with happy faces, Zhao Xiong sighed in his heart, obviously understanding that he was in a catastrophe this time.

"Hahaha, the ancestors are above, and the unfilial descendants are here to accompany you!"

While speaking, Zhao Xiong actually slammed into the table in front of him.

The table is made of the best ironwood, and it is extremely strong, if it hits it head-on, it is not uncommon for him to break his head on the spot, not to mention that Zhao Xiong still went to the corner of the table, and if he really hit it this time, Zhao Xiong would lose his life nine times out of ten.

"Want to die? It's delusional! ”

Dongchang takes people, no one is not afraid, there are many people who would rather commit suicide than enter Dongchang to suffer torture in Dongchang, but there are few people who can successfully commit suicide under the noses of Dongchang.

Before Zhao Xiong hit the table, a fierce wind hit Zhao Xiong's body, and suddenly Zhao Xiong's body stiffened, and he fell to the ground by inertia with a pop, only to fall with a blue nose and swollen face, blood flowing, not to mention how miserable it was.

Zhao Xiong was arrested, and the relatives in the house were also put into prison, don't say anything about implicating the innocent, this era is one person who has won the Tao and the dog ascends to heaven, one person is guilty, and the whole family is implicated.

In Dongchang's view, what Zhao Xiong committed was the great crime of rebellion, so if one of Zhao's relatives is counted as one, he will definitely not be able to escape.

Not only Zhao Xiong, Yidong Factory also has the ability of Jinyiwei, but all the officials who are close to Xu Cheng and Chen Kai, one is counted as one, and I dare not say that all of them were arrested and put in prison, at least most of them have clues that they are the same party of the two, and they were all taken down and put into prison.

In just less than a day, the entire Beijing division was full of rumors, and the mansions everywhere were knocked open by the Jinyi Guard and the people of Dongchang, and then a large number of prisoners and relatives were arrested.

The entire Jingshi fell into a group of palpitating calms, of course, the people who were in danger were only some of the officials who were close to the two, as for those officials who knew what to say, they sneered and watched, and the people in Beijing were not affected in the slightest, and even many people hid in the dark and secretly watched the officials who were arrested by Dongchang and Jinyiwei applauded.

Over the years, under the constraints of Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao, few people in Dongchang and Jinyiwei have dared to harass ordinary people, but for the powerful and officials, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have a stronger reputation.

Therefore, in the hearts of many people, as long as they keep to themselves, they don't have to be afraid of Dongchang and Jinyiwei at all, if there are really people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei who dare to disturb the people for no reason, they can even go to Dongchang and Jinyiwei Yamen to beat drums and voice grievances.

In a tea shop, some tea customers were looking excitedly at the officials and their relatives who were arrested by the Jinyi Guard in a mansion not far from the teahouse.

"Look, this dog official must have happened, otherwise, it would be impossible for Jinyiwei to come to the door to get someone in person."

"Tsk, I don't know what these officials have done, they actually provoked Jinyiwei and Dongchang to take people all over the city."

A well-informed tea guest had a bit of smugness on his face at this time, and whispered to everyone: "I'm afraid you don't know, not long ago, there were officials who attacked His Royal Highness King Wu in court at the Great Dynasty Meeting, trying to drive a wedge between His Royal Highness King Wu and His Majesty......

"God, there would be someone so bold, if Your Majesty and His Royal Highness King Wu don't get along, I'm afraid that it will only be us people who will be unlucky at that time. Are these people trying to plunge my Ming into boundless chaos? ”

The people of Beijing have been accustomed to all kinds of ups and downs over the years, and naturally not everyone can be fooled, and some people can be said to be quite familiar with the movements of officials above the court.

Da Ming can't help but talk about the people, it is conceivable that when these people gather together, there will be endless topics.

Looking at the officials who were pushed forward by the officials of the Jinyi Guard, the eyes of these tea guests couldn't help but show a little hatred.

Daming can have today, no matter what the officials in the world think and say, but these people in Beijing know very well in their hearts that if there is no Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao, Daming will definitely not have today's grand occasion.

In other words, the grand occasion of the Ming Dynasty today is completely based on the mutual success of Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao, whether it is Chu Yi or Zhu Houzhao, if one of the two has an accident, or if the two of them fight, the current good situation of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be in vain.

Therefore, those officials who tried in vain to separate the relationship between the Son of Heaven and Chu Yi were heinous in the eyes of these people, and it was not a pity to exterminate the family even if they raided their families.

In one day, dozens of officials were thrown into the prison of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, although most of these officials were middle- and low-level officials, but there were even two people like Xu Cheng who had achieved the level of a squire.

A squire can be regarded as a high-ranking official, but he never thought that there would be officials of this level involved, which made Cao Shaoqin and Yue Buqun even more intensified their strict investigation. Strive not to spare any suspicious person.

In the evening, Chu Yi was playing chess with Zhu Houzhao in the imperial garden, Zhu Houzhao sat opposite Chu Yi in his regular clothes, holding the chess pieces in his hand, and said to Chu Yi with a sigh: "If I remember correctly, the last time I sat and played chess with my eldest partner like this was a long time ago." ”

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's sighing tone, Chu Yi sighed lightly and said: "When does Your Majesty want to find Chu to play chess, whether it is to go to the Wuwang Mansion or summon Chu to the palace, Chu will definitely accompany him." ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "What the eldest companion said, I really take it seriously!" Don't be impatient at that time. ”

Chu Yi just smiled.

Wang Zheng stood aside, his eyebrows lowered, as if he had settled down.

A rush of footsteps came, and I saw Yue Buqun and Cao Shaoqin coming together, and when they saw Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao playing chess there from a distance, the two subconsciously slowed down their pace, for fear of disturbing Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi.

When they got closer, the two of them stood aside with their hands down, and they didn't rush to disturb the two monarchs and ministers who were playing chess, but Chu Yi glanced at Zhu Houzhao, who was busy playing chess with great interest, and then said to the two people standing there: "Cao Shaoqin and Yue Buqun, but what do you want to tell Your Majesty?" ”

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao raised his head, glanced at the two of them, the smile on his face disappeared, and an imperial majesty spread: "What I asked the two of you to do, how is it?" ”

Yue Buqun and Cao Shaoqin glanced at each other, and saw Cao Shaoqin step forward and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Back to Your Majesty, the ministers have arrested all the comrades of Chen Kai and Xu Cheng, and now the trial has been completed, and the confession is here, please also ask Your Majesty to take a look." ”

Saying that, Cao Shaoqin pointed to a box of files carried by several chamberlains, needless to say that this box of files was the confession interrogated by Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows, for the efficiency of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, to be honest, Zhu Houzhao is still quite satisfied, after all, it is not easy to do these things in such a short time.

Stretching out his hand to grab it, he saw a dossier falling into Zhu Houzhao's hands, as Zhu Houzhao flipped through a few dossiers, Zhu Houzhao's face became more and more gloomy, and suddenly, Zhu Houzhao threw out a dossier in his hand and snorted coldly: "Okay, good, worthy of being my good minister, do they treat me as a three-year-old child, or do they think they can control my words and deeds." ”

Chu Yi couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw Zhu Houzhao's reaction so fiercely, what did these officials do?

Stretching out his hand, the file that had just been thrown out by Zhu Houzhao fell into Chu Yi's hands, his eyes swept away, the corners of Chu Yi's mouth twitched, and his face became extremely gloomy, he could understand why Zhu Houzhao's reaction was so big.

In fact, in this file, the content of an official's confession was too irritating, and according to this official's confession, Xu Cheng and the others planned to target him, and Chu Yi even hit Zhu Houzhao with his idea.

Xu Cheng and Chen Kai's attack on the court is just the beginning, if Zhu Houzhao does not have thunder and anger, then these people will use their influence to secretly send people to smear the Son of Heaven in Beijing and provoke the relationship between the two of them.
